Google Translate tests out flashcards to help language learning

Google Translate might be competing against the language learning app Duolingo. A new feature spotted by app developer Jane Manchun Wong shows flashcards within the Android version of the app. The cards are accessible through the phrasebook section of the app. There you can see cards that can be flipped around to see translations of specific phrases. There's an option to shuffle the cards so users can practice with them. It isn't clear if Google plans to roll out the feature, but we're hoping they would.

Is Samsung's next flagship going to be called the Galaxy S20?

While we have been calling the next Samsung flagships the Galaxy S11 series, a new rumour from leaker Ice Universe (@UniverseIce over at Twitter) suggests might be skipping a whole lot of numbers to an aptly named Galaxy S20. Why S20? Well, for the year 2020. As the tipster's tweet says, "Next year is 2020, and 20 is a new beginning." What that new beginning is we don't know. But it's not precisely farfetched for Samsung to skip a generation, it's done so with the Note 6 in the past to align the Note series with the Galaxy S series. And while Ice Universe has a relatively good track record for leaks, it's still important to approach the rumour with a grain of salt.
