Up until this point, Google’s unlocked Pixel 4A 5G has only been available in black for those who want the unlocked phone. A white option was exclusive to Verizon’s more expensive version of the device — more expensive because it includes millimeter-wave 5G. But soon, Google will be releasing a white model of the standard $499 unlocked Pixel 4A 5G for people who don’t want to pay the mmWave tax. I was browsing B&H Photo earlier today when I noticed a listing for it, clearly labeled as a “new release.” Since there are photos of the phone, this didn’t seem to be a mistake — and Google has since confirmed to The Verge that the unlocked white Pixel 4A 5G will begin shipping on January 28th. Aesthetically, it’s identical to the Verizon version with a mint green power button. But you’re still only getting sub-6 5G — no surprise considering it’s the regular price. There were some decent discounts and sales on the Pixel 4A 5G over the holidays, so some of you might be bummed about making a purchase before this one came around. But at least you saved some cash. If you’re keeping score, with the release of this version, that means the 2020 Pixel lineup will now be available in these color choices: Pixel 5, $699 Green Black Pixel 4A 5G UW, $599 Black (with millimeter-wave 5G), Verizon exclusive White (with millimeter-wave 5G), Verizon exclusive Pixel 4A 5G, $499 Black (unlocked, sub-6 5G only) White (unlocked, sub-6 5G only) Pixel 4A, $349 Black Blue, Google Store exclusive https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1296/Home/WhatsApp_Web_Will_Soon_Work_Without_a_Connected_Phone https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1297/Home/Microsoft_Edge_Used_by_600_Million_Customers_Google_Chrome_Still_Way_Ahead https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1298/Home/Dell_Launches_Monitors_with_a_Microsoft_Teams_Button_Because_Why_Not https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1299/Home/Microsoft_to_Release_Windows_Update_Supposed_to_Uninstall_Flash_Player https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1300/Home/Microsoft_the_Weather_Forecast_and_News_to_the_Windows_10_Taskbar https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1301/Home/Rumor_No_New_Assassins_Creed_Game_Until_Next_Year https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1302/Home/Mortal_Kombat_11_Fans_Find_Aqua_Easter_Egg https://training.joniandfriends.org/eportfolios/1303/Home/Sony_Games_Won_Most_Game_of_the_Year_Awards_in_2020 |
“Xbox Controllers Still Use AA Batteries Due to ‘A Constant Agreement’ with Duracell,” Stealth Optional’s headline reads. The headline spotlights the outlet’s recent interview with Duracell’s UK marketing manager, Luke Anderson, who told Stealth Optional that there’s “always been this partnership with Duracell and Xbox... It’s a constant agreement that Duracell and Microsoft have in place.” After this interview was published, several outlets cited the article, theorizing that this could be the reason why Microsoft still uses AA batteries to power some of its wireless gaming controllers. This isn’t true. “We intentionally offer consumers choice in their battery solutions for our standard Xbox Wireless Controllers,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer as a reason why its standard wireless Xbox controllers still use AA batteries instead of building a battery inside the controller. “This includes the use of AA batteries from any brand, the Xbox Rechargeable Battery, charging solutions from our partners, or a USB-C cable, which can power the controller when plugged in to the console or PC.” Of course, this is not the first time Microsoft has mentioned its decision to stick with AA batteries for some of its wireless controllers. Speaking with Digital Foundry in April, Xbox partner director of program management, Jason Ronald, explained that a “large chunk of Xbox owners” still preferred to use batteries. Microsoft even told The Verge in 2018 that the standard controllers' reliance on batteries is because the company likes to offer a choice to its player base. I don’t mind using AA batteries in these controllers; I can understand the confusion some could have on why Microsoft relies on batteries in its controllers when its competitors have turned to built-in batteries that charge using cables. It’s certainly not the most environmentally friendly option, yet it provides a happy medium for those who still prefer batteries while also having an option for those who prefer using a rechargeable battery pack instead. https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8474/Home/FanMade_Tool_Helps_My_Nintendo_Members_Track_Stock_of_Physical_Rewards https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8475/Home/KSI_Loses_Among_Us_Game_Thanks_to_Hilarious_Proximity_Chat_Error https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8476/Home/Twitch_Streamer_Sodapoppin_Talks_About_Quitting_OfflineTV_Rust_Server https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8477/Home/Gold_PS5_Console_is_Now_on_Sale https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8478/Home/More_Final_Fantasy_Games_Are_Coming_to_Xbox_Game_Pass https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8479/Home/Valorant_Episode_2_Confirms_Buffs_for_Brimstone https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8480/Home/Expert_Apex_Legends_Player_ImperialHal_Swatted_During_Livestream https://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/8481/Home/Nintendo_Removes_Hundreds_of_Fan_Games_With_DMCA_Takedown |
Alongside the partial Galaxy A42 5G announcement, Samsung lifted the veil off its latest tablet, smart tracker and wireless charger. Say hello to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7, Samsung Galaxy Fit2 and Wireless Charging Trio. The Galaxy Tab A7 is the latest affordable slate by the Korean company, but don't confuse it with the dated Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016). This one comes with a 10.4” TFT with a resolution of 2000x1200 pixels and about 80% screen-to-body ratio. The new tablet is powered by an unspecified octa-core CPU (3 cores running at 2GHz, the rest at1.8 GHz), coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB or 64GB storage (there’s a slot for microSD as well). A quartet of speakers makes sure it will offer more immersive multimedia experience than the majority of its direct rivals. The rear camera is 8MP, the one on the front is 5MP, and this tablet comes with a 7,040 mAh battery, charged through the USB-C port. Next to it, we can see a 3.5 mm audio jack. Connectivity also includes Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, but it will have variants with LTE in some countries. The Galaxy Fit2 is Samsung’s latest ultra-affordable smartband. Standing against the likes of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5, the Fit2 sports a 1.1” AMOLED with 3D curved glass, heart rate sensor and a rather big 159 mAh battery. The wearable will be offered in either Black or Scarlet and Samsung promises it can go between 15 and 21 days on a single charge, depending on usage. As the name suggests, the Wireless Charging Trio can wirelessly charge up to three different devices simultaneously. It comes with USB-C to USB-C cable and is offered in two colors - Black and White. It has a circular cutout where a Galaxy Watch3 will fit perfectly, but we’re pretty sure it will work with any Qi device. Sadly, Samsung did not reveal anything about actual charging speeds. We also got no details on the pricing or availability of either of the new products. We guess it will be up to local branches to reveal these details later on. https://sites.google.com/view/ytmusicpremiumapkfreedownload https://sites.google.com/view/vpnhubpremiumapkfreedownload https://sites.google.com/view/picsart-gold-apk-free-download https://sites.google.com/view/ustvproapkfreedownload https://sites.google.com/view/ufo-vpn-premium-apk-free |
Mozilla has recently announced that its new Firefox browser for Android will support extensions, bringing it in line with its desktop sibling. The new Firefox for Android based on GeckoView is currently in Preview, and Mozilla says it’s already seeing “great feedback” regarding the performance of the application. The next step in the development of the new browser is adding support for add-ons, and Mozilla explains that the development team has started building support for extensions through the WebExtensions API. Firefox Preview should receive the new functionality sometime in 2020, but for now, no specifics are available. On the other hand, Mozilla says this could take a while, and you are recommended not to try to install extensions in Firefox Preview. "Early extension support coming in H1 2020" Some may work, Mozilla acknowledged, but since they’re not officially supported, other issues could be experienced when using the browser. “Bringing GeckoView and Firefox Preview up to par with the APIs that were supported previously in Firefox for Android won’t happen overnight. For the remainder of 2019 and leading into 2020, we are focusing on building support for a selection of content from our Recommended Extensions program that work well on mobile and cover a variety of utilities and features,” Mozilla explains. “While some members of the community have discovered that some extensions inadvertently work in Firefox Preview, we do not recommend attempting to install them until they are officially supported as other issues may arise.” Mozilla says the first implementation of extensions in Firefox Preview on Android should be ready in the first half of the next year, but no ETA is available just yet, though it could see daylight later in 2020. Firefox Preview is available today, but without support for extensions, albeit it’s really worth a try, especially if you’re an avid Firefox user on the desktop. https://news.softpedia.com/news/mozilla-announces-extension-support-for-the-new-firefox-for-android-527983.shtml
