Android 11 might get rid of 4GB video recording cap

Since the Nexus 5, Google has implemented a 4GB video recording limit on its devices. At that time, it wasn't an issue with smartphones not capable of recording that much video anyway. But in the age of 4K—and soon 8K—video recording and with more capable hardware, Google might finally be ready to get rid of the cap. Code found in the Android Open Source Project suggests that the video recording limit might be taken out. XDA Developers theorize it could be removed as soon as Android 11 comes out, but its availability in the Open Source Project could even mean it could come out sooner. We're hoping for the latter.

'The Mandalorian' will come back for Season 2 on Disney+ in fall 2020

Disney

With the first season wrapped up after the December 27 finale, The Mandalorian will be coming back for a second season in the fall of 2020. The Star Wars show's creator Jon Favreau confirmed on Twitter that it would be back on Disney+. He didn't specify a date, though. But we will be waiting for future announcements.

Taking place five years after The Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian follows a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter as he tries to protect The Child, a younger "Baby Yoda" (as the world has dubbed it), from the galaxy's villains. The show stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito, and Taika Waititi.

Samsung might launch the next Galaxy S smartphone on Feb. 11 or 18

Two dates are floating around for the launch of Samsung's next flagship smartphone: February 11 or 18. The February 11 date comes from tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce over at Twitter). They also recently claimed that the next Samsung Galaxy S device would be called the Galaxy S20 instead of Galaxy S11. The only thing we're sure about right now is Samsung usually unveils its Galaxy S flagship in February; we just have to wait for confirmation on which date that would be.
