Samsung has confirmed rumors that its Galaxy S20 lineup will integrate Google Duo. From the dialer, users will simply tap Duo to start a video call in Full HD with 5G. Google Duo works across operating systems, so you won't be limited to who you can...

Those who were worried that the Galaxy Z Flip wouldn’t arrive in the US can relax. The latest video leak not only confirms Galaxy Z Flip’s arrival in the US but also throws light on certain features that many reviewers didn’t previously know about.
Galaxy Z Flip phone likely to come with an AT&T contract
The foldable phone comes with an AT&T logo, which makes it clear that it will be offered via a plan by the aforementioned telecom company. The phone has already generated a lot of interest among users who have long sought a foldable phone, far removed from the modern-day iPhone lookalikes. A quick look at the video will clear many doubts.

Here are some of the tentative features of Galaxy Z Flip phone:
The smartphone makes use of a Snapdragon 855+ chip, thanks to which the phone will likely be very responsive
The 6.7 screens should be enough to play games, watch movies, and make video calls without squinting one's eyes
The 2,636 x 1,080 resolution also seems to transform this smartphone into a visual delight
The 256GB built-in storage is not much, but hopefully, you can make do with some cloud storage services
The Galaxy Z Flip phone can be used when it is bent
The two rear cameras and a single hole-punch front camera are sure to satiate any photographer’s picture cravings
Unfortunately, the phone neither comes with a headphone jack nor a microSD expansion.
When will the phone be released in the market?
It is not clear when the phone will be out in the market. As Galaxy S20 is still making news, launching the Galaxy Z Flip phone may hurt the parent company. Consequently, one may see a delayed release of the Z Flip. A few other observers note that the phone may come as soon as the 14th of February. This phone will be lapped up by consumers quite eagerly, as it promises several attractive features, minus a few details that could otherwise have been included.
Regardless of when the phone will be released, the Galaxy Z Flip marks Samsung’s departure from making iPhone-like phones and launching designs that are unique in their own right. From a business perspective, this is impressive, and the company is moving in the right direction.
New details of the Samsung Galaxy
S20 smartphones are out, and the specifications look quite impressive. There
are going to be three models: Galaxy S20 5G, Galaxy S20 Plus 5G, and Galaxy S20
Ultra 5G. They are all going to be launched on the 11th of February. Android 10
will power these 3 new models and they are likely to run on Samsung one UI 2.0
as well.
What the Samsung Galaxy S20 specs are like
The Galaxy S20 5G will sport a 6.2 display, an Exynos 990 7nm chipset, 128GB of storage and MicroSD storage of up to 1TB. The other two models will have similar specifications but the difference truly lies in the screen size. The S20 Plus 5G will be flanked by a 6.7-inch screen, while the S20 Ultra 5G will sport a humongous 6.9-inch screen. While the Ultra will sport 3 rear cameras, a 10x optical zoom, and 100x digital zoom, the other two models will have 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom.
All the 3 models will boast of 8K
recording. S20 5G will run on a 4,000mAH battery, while the S20 Plus 5G will be
powered by a 4,500mAH battery. The Ultra model will have a much larger battery
of 5,000mAH. All the models are also water resistance, with IP68 Water
Resistance.
While the new specifications are quite impressive, more details are required to make a complete assessment of the smartphones' specs. For the moment, the cameras seem to be quite impressive, as are the screens and battery. There is no information about the price or the phones’ performance.
Samsung has many competitors this time around
Samsung has had to fight off a number of competitors in recent years. While initially, only Apple was its major competitor, the Korean giant has several rivals right in Asia. OnePlus, Huawei and other companies have been eating into the company's profits and market share across Asia and elsewhere. If these Samsung Galaxy S20 phones aren't a success, the company will have more worries than just Apple's iPhones to deal with. This is probably why the company is taking the familiar approach of large screens, powerful cameras, and other impressive features.
