'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.

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.
