Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Revealed For Nintendo Switch At Nintendo Direct E3 2019 - GameSpot

Nintendo has revealedthat a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is in development for Nintendo Switch. The news was revealed during the company's E3 2019 press conference, capping off a presentation that was already full of announcements. Nintendo premiered a short teaser trailer for Breath of the Wild 2--or whatever it's to be called--which you can see above.

Nintendo followed the teaser with a short statement that read, "The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now in development." No release date, title, or further details were announced. The teaser trailer, which you can watch above, showed Link traveling with Zelda herself on horseback, and we see something happening with Hyrule Castle in the distance. The video also featured some eerie music and a stunning landscape similar to the one seen in the original game. We've got a Breath of the Wild sequel trailer breakdown that dives further into what there is to glean from this debut video.

A subsequent press release recapping the event, unfortunately, did not share anything further, only reiterating the game is in active development and will be released for Nintendo Switch.

The first game was released as a cross-generation launch title for the Nintendo Switch. It received universal acclaim, including a 10/10 in GameSpot's Zelda: Breath of the Wild review. Our critic, Peter Brown, wrote: "No matter how gorgeous its environments are, how clever its enemies are, and how tricky its puzzles get, the fact that Breath of the Wild continues to surprise you with newfound rules and possibilities after dozens of hours is by far its most valuable quality. It's a game that allows you to feel gradually more and more empowered yet simultaneously manages to retain a sense of challenge and mystery--which, together, creates a steady, consistent feeling of gratification throughout the entire experience. Breath of the Wild is a defining moment for The Legend of Zelda series, and the most impressive game Nintendo has ever created."

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 renders reveal giant screen and no headphone jack - The Verge

Rumors have already been hinting at it, but renders published by @Onleaks and Pricebaba a few days ago suggest that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 10 will feature an all-new design that marks a substantial evolution from the Note 9 and other recent models. And this year, the Note will come in two sizes: a giant 6.75-inch Note 10 Pro and 6.3-inch Note 10, both sharing the same overall look. (For reference, the OnePlus 7 Pro sits between those at 6.5 inches, which is larger than last year’s 6.4-inch Note 9.)

Samsung is inching closer to a truly edge-to-edge display, filling the front of the Note 10 with even more screen than before. It extends further at the top because Samsung is seemingly moving to a “hole-punch” look with a center-aligned selfie camera. The cutout really draws my eye in these renders — more so than the right-aligned front camera on the Galaxy S10 line — but hopefully it’ll be a little more subtle in the final product. On the plus side, Samsung is no longer wasting space and extending that cutout with a depth sensor. And even better, the company has nearly eliminated the phone’s bottom chin, with an even smaller sliver of bezel than the S10 has.

Also evident in these renders are sharper corners compared to the Galaxy Note 9 / 8, which give the device a Nokia Lumia vibe as Ars Technica points out. And three things have gone missing: the headphone jack has unfortunately been removed in the Note 10, but mercifully Samsung’s signature Bixby button is also nowhere in sight. Same goes for a fingerprint sensor, so it seems the Note will also be transitioning to an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Around back is a trio of cameras similar to the Galaxy S10’s setup, but this time oriented vertically. The Note 10 Pro will have a 3D time-of-flight sensor similar to the Galaxy S10 5G, while the smaller Note 10 will omit this extra bit of hardware.

With last year’s Note 9, Samsung introduced some new S-Pen tricks such as the ability for the stylus to serve as a remote camera shutter or control music playing on the phone. We should learn much more about what the company has come up with for 2019 sometime in August at Samsung’s usual summer Unpacked event.

The first major casualty of Huawei’s US ban is a new MateBook - Android Authority

Huawei has endured a rather tough time as a result of the U.S. trade ban against it, as major partners around the world either cancel or assess their relationship with the brand. The firm has been able to weather the storm and launch devices anyway, but it looks like we’ve got our first canceled product as a result of the ban.

Huawei consumer CEO Richard Yu told CNBC that an upcoming MateBook laptop has been put on indefinite hold due to the situation. “We cannot supply the PC,” he was quoted as saying.

Yu said the length of the trade ban would determine whether the company would be able to launch the new MateBook. But he added that it wouldn’t be launched if Huawei was on the so-called Entity List for a long period of time.

Alternatives to Intel, Microsoft?

The MateBook line is heavily reliant on U.S. companies, as Huawei uses Intel’s processors and Microsoft’s Windows 10 as the operating system of choice. One possibility is for Huawei to switch to AMD‘s processors, having previously used them in some laptops. However, as a U.S. company, AMD is almost certainly subjected to the trade ban. Huawei will also need to find alternatives to other U.S. laptop parts.

Huawei MateBook 14 review: A sexy design ruined by the dreaded nose-cam

Earlier this year we reviewed the MateBook 13, which we loved. Now Huawei is already back with another new laptop — the Huawei Matebook 14. Let’s dig into our Huawei MateBook 14 review and see if Huawei's …

As for the operating system conundrum, it’s possible the company could switch to Linux or an Android-derived OS in lieu of Windows. But there are no guarantee users will buy a MateBook without Windows.

Huawei’s smartphone business isn’t quite as hard hit as the U.S. trade ban, as the company designs much of the silicon in these devices (including the modems and Kirin processors). Still, the new MateBook’s scuppered launch underscores the critical situation Huawei finds itself in right now.

The Pixel 4 might have an exciting new feature that’s not available on any iPhone or Android - BGR

Google often announces technology innovations that aren’t ready to be turned into commercial products, prompting us to wonder whether they’re just vaporware. But that doesn’t mean development for said projects stops, and the Pixel 4 might prove exactly that. A couple of rumors claim the Pixel 4 will have a chip unlike anything available on iPhone or other Android flagship, a new type of tech that Google first unveiled back in 2015.

Called Project Soli, the chip was unveiled all the way back at Google I/O 2015, alongside several other projects coming from Google’s ATAP group.

What you need to know about it is that Soli uses radar to read the fine movements of one’s fingers, turning those gestures into actions on the screen of a phone, for example. In other words, the Pixel 4 might pack this Google-made chip to let you interact with the phone without touching the screen or any buttons.

That’s an exciting technology for the future of mobile phones, one that could help manufacturers create those button-less devices that are in the pipeline. A few weeks ago, we had a Pixel 4 rumor that said one of Google’s prototypes lacked any physical buttons, packing capacitive sensors into the sides where the real buttons would go. More recent leaks, however, showed that the phone would have buttons on the side.

Getting back to Project Soli, we’ll also remind you that in early 2019 we told you that the FCC allowed Google to operate its Soli chips at higher power levels. At the time, we had no idea what Google was working on and speculated that Project Soli chips might pave the way for computers with Minority Report-like technology.

The reason why this Pixel 4 Project Soli rumor is so exciting is because we have more than a source mentioning it. First, 9to5Google reported that the Soli radar chip is integrated into the Pixel 4, without explaining what it does.

But then xda-developers came forward with a discovery in the most recent beta that seems to reinforce the Soli rumor.

Google included two new gestures in Android Q called Skip and Silence, although they’re not functional on any devices. It’s pretty clear they refer to media playback, which would be a cool use for Soli. After all, Google imagined exactly that kind of interaction with Soli devices back in 2015 when it released the video at the end of this post.

The report further explains that the new gestures need a new Aware sensor that’s not defined on any of the current Pixel devices.

With all that in mind, it sure looks like the Pixel 4 will have a radar-based chip inside that will support gestures unlike anything seen on competing devices. The other day I explained how Google approach about making Pixel phones has been consistently wrong so far, with Google often having to follow the moves of the iPhone. I also said that the Pixel 4 might be Google’s chance to step out of the iPhone’s shadow with some sort of risky decisions. Soli would just about qualify — check out the initial Soli demos in the clip below:

Spotify mimics the radio with a news and music playlist for drivers - The Verge

Spotify’s launching a new playlist called Your Daily Drive that will incorporate news podcasts. Starting today, US users will be able to listen to music they already enjoy, alongside new music recommendations, with some news podcast content sprinkled in. Anyone can access the playlist, regardless of whether they’re driving.

The Wall Street Journal, NPR, and Public Radio International will provide the news audio clips. News and music will update throughout the day, unlike the platform’s other popular playlists. For instance, Discover Weekly only updates once a week, and other personalized playlists like Your Daily Mix only update once a day.

This new playlist joins other Spotify lists in promoting podcasts. The Verge reported earlier this month that Spotify is testing five different podcast-only playlists that are human-curated. While those playlists are only in the testing phase for five percent of users in various countries, Your Daily Drive is available to all US users.

Today’s playlist also comes a month after Spotify announced its first hardware project — Car Thing — that’s designed to gather data about how people consume audio in the car. Spotify’s auto audio ambitions mean the company can’t just be good at music. This playlist is closer to the radio formula, where news enters the mix of songs every so often — though the new format doesn’t yet include weather and traffic, the two things most relevant to drivers.
