Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Tuesday, April 16, 2019.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Morning, there! As we handle the Galaxy Fold for the first time (that front screen…), Engadget kicks off something new: a camera guide for 2019. It details what you should buy as well as what equipment the biggest YouTubers are using for their vlogs, and it explains exactly how mirrorless cameras do what they do. Got more camera questions? Shoot them along to ask@engadget.com.

Darn that satisfying clunk.

Samsung Galaxy Fold hands-on: Satisfying despite the crease

Yes, there is a fine seam. Yes, we have questions about the validity of the whole thing. But the Galaxy Fold exudes a sense of wonder. We’re also primed to start reviewing, so stay tuned.

Pixel 3a, Nest Hub Max and… ?

Google teases 'something big' for Pixel on May 7th

Google has posted a teaser promising that "something big is coming to the Pixel universe" on May 7th. The associated video clip is ultimately just a promo for Avengers: Endgame-themed AR stickers, but there's clearly something more to it than that. Most bets are on Google unveiling its mid-range Pixel 3a phones.

What to buy, and how to get the most from it.

The EU has officially passed its controversial copyright law

New rules in Europe, updating copyright for the online age, have now picked up approval from EU member states. While it’s legal stuff and… complicated, the short version is that YouTube, Facebook and Instagram will be required to obtain licenses for copyrighted works from rights holders to host their content. It could be a major task.

Aston Martin's all-electric Rapide E is a 604HP leap into the future

Aston Martin has finally revealed its first all-electric car. The Rapide E swaps out a V12 engine for an 800V, 65 kWh battery system and twin rear motors with 604 hp and 700 pound-feet of torque. There will only be 155 units produced, "with prices available on application."

Changes planned for Safari, Mail and multi-tasking.

iOS 13 may include system-wide dark mode and undo gesture

With Apple's WWDC less than two months away, more details about what iOS 13 might have in store are emerging. They include a system-wide dark mode, deeper multi-tasking options, an undo gesture (!!!) and updates to core apps from Apple.

And you only 3D-printed an iPhone case.

Scientists print first 3D heart using a patient’s own cells

Researchers at Tel Aviv University succeeded in printing the first ever 3D heart that uses cells and biological materials from a patient. The medical breakthrough, which was published today in Advanced Science, managed to produce an entire (tiny -- think rabbit-sized) heart, complete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers.

Video creators are using everything from Sony’s A7 III to RED’s Monstro 8K.

The cameras YouTubers love

For YouTube creators, there isn't a one-camera-fits-all solution; they each have their own preference based on the brands they like, their audience and what they're shooting on any given day. Edgar Alvarez talks to some of the biggest names on YouTube and discovers what they’re using.

But wait, there's more...

1. What makes mirrorless cameras unique?

2. Do Micro Four Thirds cameras have a future?

3. Oops: YouTube's fact checking linked the Notre Dame fire to 9/11

4. What we're listening to in April: The White Album in high-res

5. Evian's answer to wasteful plastic bottles is a smart water dispenser

6. What's on TV: 'Homecoming,' 'Bosch,' 'Cuphead' for Switch

7. Hackers in Microsoft's webmail breach could read some users' messages

8. The BMW M850i elevates the road trip with high tech

Editor's Pick: Qualcomm: Rethinking AI in a 5G Quantum World

Qualcomm: Rethinking AI in a 5G Quantum World

Rob Enderle
Apr 15, 2019 11:45 AM PT

It is expected that 5G will move aggressively into the market, with near-complete major metropolitan coverage by the end of the year. This technology is a game-changer, but it doesn't come without issues, one of which is the massive change in network loading. 5G will shift the bottlenecks from the wireless networks to the backhaul, where the expected massive increase in traffic will force some rather impressive network upgrades.

Back to the Old School With Zoho
Customer relationship management keeps expanding, and some people might wonder why we never seem to get all the way to some mythical goal of perfection. One of the chief reasons is that the goal posts are moving away from us and always will be. This isn't some plot by the software companies to drive demand. From what I've seen, most companies simply try to keep up with demand with increasingly diverse products that meet real market needs. [More...]

SEO: How Important Is It to Make the First Page?
In a recent E-Commerce Times poll, only 4.32 percent of respondents said there was always enough information on the first page of search results to meet their needs. By comparison, 14.05 percent said they found the first-page search results were rigged and limited by algorithmic highlights. More than one quarter, 25.41 percent, said even if the first page provided enough, they wanted to see more. [More...]

The Morning After: The world's biggest airplane takes to the skies

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Monday, April 15, 2019.

Hey, good morning!

Welcome to your Monday morning. We’ve got details on a new Star Wars game -- and it’s single-player, and also the world's biggest plane managed to get up into the sky. That all-digital Xbox has leaked, and Twitch Sings is a free karaoke game you can play with streamers. Karaoke with internet people? I’ll take it under advisement.

'Twitch Sings' is built for live streaming.

Twitch officially debuts its free karaoke game

After months of testing, Twitch Sings is here, giving you a chance to belt out tunes for your streaming audience of, maybe, hundreds. While there is an offline mode, the game is designed from the ground up to involve an entire Twitch channel. Streamers can invite broadcasters in for duets, while viewers can request one of the 1,000-plus songs, cheer to start light shows and issue challenges.

Sounds like it'll be a bargain.

Microsoft's 'All Digital' Xbox One S leaked

Yes, that disc-free Xbox One appears to be real. WinFuture has obtained images it says show off the Xbox One S All Digital, not to mention some extra details. The console's design is exactly what you'd expect -- surprise, an Xbox One S without a Blu-ray drive -- but it really is what's inside that counts. The system would carry a 1TB hard drive and (at least in Europe) ship with preinstalled copies of Forza Horizon 3, Minecraft and Sea of Thieves -- even more money-saving.

The single-player game tells the story of a Padawan on the run.

Respawn's 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' arrives November 15th

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a real thing, after months of teases. The single-player game, due to launch on November 15th, follows Cal Kestis, a Padawan trying to survive Emperor Palpatine's command to execute the Jedi.

Better, better, better.

Zero’s SR/F electric motorcycle is quicker and now more connected

Zero's new SR/F motorcycle is a new design for the company, with a new motor and operating system. Plus, Roberto Baldwin handled it on roads he’s never even seen before. Hold on, here’s what he thought.
