Spotify rumoured to be releasing its in-car music player later this year

It’s not the first time we’ve heard that Spotify has plans to release its own hardware. But now the latest round of rumours claim the in-car music player will be coming later this year. The device will be priced around US$100.

The music streaming service hopes to deliver a more direct music experience to its customers—instead of having them rely on platforms like Apple’s CarPlay or Google’s Android Auto. Rumour has it the device will sync with car stereos via Bluetooth and have buttons that you can preset to correspond to your favourite playlists. It’ll also support voice commands similar to what the current Spotify mobile app offers.

What isn’t known is if it’ll allow you to store music on it or if there will be LTE connectivity. Spotify’s challenge here is to get people to buy the device. As The Verge says, it might be more appealing if the company bundles it with its premium service.

Apple is selling the iPhone SE online in the US

Review: Apple iPhone SE

If you’ve been thinking of getting the iPhone SE, well the compact iPhone has made its appearance in Apple’s clearance section on the company’s US online store. The Verge reported it’s available in 32GB and 128GB models, with US$100 and $150 slashed off, respectively. But for now, we only see the 32GB version available in Rose Gold and Gold. This might not be up for long, so if you want the phone and have someone in the US who can get it for you, now might be the time to get one.

Leaked images of Samsung Galaxy S10 models surface

Noted leaker Evan Blass has published leaked images of what could be the Samsung Galaxy S10 models. Above we see, from left to right, the Samsung Galaxy S10E, S10, and S10+ with their back and their front shown.

The Samsung Galaxy S10E seems to be sporting dual cameras in the same fashion as the S9 models. The more premium  S10 and S10+ look to have a triple camera array displayed in the rear. Featuring the Snapdragon 855 processor and ither 6GB or 8GB of RAM with storage ranging from 128GB to 512GB, the Galaxy S10 line should offer plenty of specs and features to satisfy Samsung fans looking for an upgrade.

Samsung plans to launch this device and possibly their foldable smartphone at an Unpacked event on February 20th.
