Like many celebrities, Will Smith is turning to social media to express himself while he self isolates. He partnered with Snapchat for a 12-episode original series called Will From Home. He will be connecting with friends, family, and celebrity guests who are staying at home as well. The first guest was model and TV personality, Tyra Banks. New episodes will appear on the social network on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

According to Sean Mills, Snapchat's head of original content, the show came about after discussions between the company and Smith's production company, Westbrook Media, discussed how the constraints of the global shutdown give way for "new forms of creativity and new ways to tell stories." And while Snapchat is stepping up with more content related to COVID-19 updates, the social network finds an uptick of interest in entertainment-related content. Smith's new show fits right into this category.

Next Samsung Galaxy Buds might look like beans

Yay or nay for the new Samsung Galaxy Buds design? (Render: WinFuture)

Samsung might be taking an unusual route for the design of the next Galaxy Buds wireless earphones. As shared by WinFuture's Roland Quandt, the new look fits its "bean" codename. Quandt claims Samsung is studying the idea of having these wireless earbuds sport a kidney bean-like shape. It's still in the evaluation phase, so this might not be the final design. It's certainly pushing the look into more hearing aid territory.

The renders we've seen so far show a more compact design, with the rubber tips visible on the Galaxy Buds+ already gone. According to Quandt, the Beans are 2.8cm long, with the lower part of the bean resting in the ear canal and the upper part filling the earcup.
