In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it comes as no surprise that rumours are going around that Samsung will be moving its upcoming Unpacked event online. The company will reportedly unveil its Galaxy Note 20 lineup on August 5. We're expecting to see the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra (which will reportedly replace the Note 20+). 

Aside from that, Samsung will supposedly launch the Galaxy Fold 2 as well. Samsung leaker Ice Universe said on Chinese blogging site Weibo that there are even more devices expected to be showcased during the Unpacked event, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, Tab S7, Tab S7+, as well as the Galaxy Watch 2. If there's any truth to these rumours, we can expect a pretty packed Unpacked event.

Google Play Music library transfer to YouTube Music goes live for some users

As Google works to transition its users from Google Play Music to YouTube Music, one crucial aspect is importing libraries. A recent story from Droid Life reports that the ability to transfer your content is now available, at least for some users. You can check if it's available on your account through this link: music.youtube.com/transfer. You'll just need to click on a single button at the bottom of the screen to start the process.

The capability should be available on the YouTube Music app, but it doesn't seem to be available there for some users. They tried using the web portal (which we linked to above) and got it to work. Google appears to be rolling this feature in waves, so if you don't have it yet, keep checking in.
