While Apple may be waiting until 2020 to introduce a smartphone with support for 5G, the same can’t be said for Android manufacturers. During an interview with CNET, Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon revealed that every Android manufacturer will have a 5G smartphone for sale in time for the 2019 holiday shopping season. And some manufacturers, of course, will introduce devices with support for 5G much sooner than that.

“When we get to exactly this time of year one year from now,” Amon explained, “we will see every [handset maker] on the Android ecosystem, their flagship across all US carriers will be a 5G device.”

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung plans to launch a new smartphone in 2019 that will be a first of its kind for the South Korean tech giant. Dubbed the “Galaxy F” or “Galaxy Flex,” the device will be the size of a small tablet and will actually fold in half, display and all, so that it fits comfortably in your pocket. It’ll be packed with the latest and greatest specs, and it’ll be among the first smartphones to feature Samsung’s new One UI, an updated interface designed to work as well on large displays as it does on small screens. It’ll be a a nifty phone indeed, but we already explained in some earlier coverage why you probably shouldn’t bother getting too excited about it. Long story short, it’s a first-generation Samsung device and Samsung is typically terrible at first-generation devices. Once the design and technology mature a bit, that’s when Samsung shines.

You know which new Samsung smartphones in 2019 will feature designs and cutting-edge technology that is indeed mature? That’s right, the Galaxy S10 family of phones that are shaping up to be the most exciting new smartphones Samsung has ever released. Rumors have been flying left and right over the past week, and new a new set of leaked renders likely gives us out best look yet at Samsung’s upcoming new Galaxy S10+, which will likely be the most popular model Samsung releases next year.

Samsung’s first 5G phone is incredibly ugly, but it’s just a prototype

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung just demoed its first 5G phone, and the device is so ugly that I’d need to invent a new synonym to describe how I feel about it. After all, no matter how hot 5G technology might be, a phone’s design is the first thing we notice. Thankfully, this contraption is just a prototype, meant to demo the new 5G wireless connectivity, as well as to foreshadow the great things to come to the Galaxy S10 line.

Microsoft throws shade at the iPad, calls it a fake computer

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The tech world is always a tad more interesting when companies like Microsoft and Apple are willing to throw a little shade at each other. Take, for example, a new Microsoft ad for the Surface Go, which takes a few nice jabs at the iPad. The commercial begins with a girl looking at Surface Go and imploring her grandmother not to buy an iPad. The reason? It’s not a real computer.

“Grandma don’t go out and buy an iPad,” the girl sings. “It was fine when I was six but now I’m 10. My dreams are big so I need a real computer to do all of the amazing things I know I can.”

FDA research monkeys retired and will live out their lives in Florida

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When U.S. citizens retire, they are required by law to consider moving to Florida. Okay, so it’s not an actual requirement, but plenty of retirees decide that they deserve the warm weather and ample sunshine that Florida offers and make the move. Apparently that luxury isn’t reserved for just humans though, as a whole crew of former FDA research monkeys will now also be retiring to the Sunshine State.

As CNN reports, a full 26 squirrel monkeys have been released by the FDA after serving their purpose as test animals for nicotine addiction research. The animals, all of whom are apparently in good health, now get to spend the rest of their days soaking up the rays and doing whatever it is monkeys do when they’re not in cages in a government lab.

Samsung’s target demographic for its foldable phone will be middle-aged professionals

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

There’s so much about Samsung’s soon-to-be-released foldable phone that’s just so, well, far-out and wildly different from everything else on the market today. There’s everything from the totally unique form factor to the massive price tag that could be as high as $2,500, according to some rumors.

The latest tidbit to come out of the rumor mill surrounding the handset, however, moves away from the elite and definitely more towards the mainstream side of things. Specifically, it seems that Samsung won’t be targeting the younger, influencer set with this device. Instead, the company is going to focus on middle-aged, working professionals: People who actually have the money to plunk down four figures on a handset like this.
