With CES 2019, the Detroit Auto Show, the Chicago Auto Show and the Sundance Film Festival all in the rearview mirror, this year’s calendar of tech, automotive and cultural events are already well underway. Just like last year (you remember last year, right? The good and the bad), CNET will be covering news and announcements from …

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e aims to be a smart-home controller, dynamic entertainment device and spur-of-the-moment productivity machine all rolled into one.  The $399 tablet (£310, AU$565 converted), which is expected to arrive in Q2, is the first to support Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant. The tablet fulfills a promise Samsung made at its Developer Conference last November to bring Bixby to more …

Chipmaker Nvidia announced at CES 2019 that new gaming laptops running mobile versions of its RTX 2060, 2070 and 2080 graphics cards would start shipping by the end of January.

With Samsung’s next flagship phone, the Galaxy S10, just around the corner on Feb. 20, you can expect a steady stream of leaks and rumors until then. On Monday we got two image leaks showing off what appears to be white and black versions of the upcoming devices, as reported by Tech Radar. A post from frequent Twitter leaker Evan …

Chinese phone maker Meizu has a bit of a reputation for creating iPhone-like devices. For its new flagship, however, it seems to have found inspiration elsewhere.  The Meizu Zero looks remarkably like the Samsung Galaxy S9 from the front, with no buttons and a notchless, curved 6-inch AMOLED display, just a slim bezel at the top and bottom. Meizu didn’t …

Samsung’s new high-end gaming laptop might just be a contender against other mainstream models from Dell, Lenovo and Acer.  The Notebook Odyssey was announced alongside Nvidia’s latest mobile graphics cards and will feature the GeForce RTX 2080 GPU paired with a six-core Intel Core i7 processor. Performance wasn’t the big issue with Samsung’s last Odyssey, though, it was the design …

Samsung is already said to have three different versions of its next flagship phone, the rumored Galaxy S10, in the works, but now it looks like there might be a fourth.  Expected to be called the Galaxy S10 X, this variant will be Samsung’s first with 5G network support, according to Electronic Times.

When we met with Samsung at CES 2019, it made it clear its new Notebook 9 Pro as well as the previously announced Notebook 9 Pen are about design just as much as performance. For the Notebook 9 Pro, Samsung conducted a US-specific design study that influenced its choices on bezel design, profile taper and corner radii, a spokesman told CNET.

When I first heard about the Samsung Notebook Flash, it sounded like a less expensive version of one of our favorite slim, stylish notebooks, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop. Starting at $350 (roughly £275 , AU$490), the 13.3-inch laptop is intended for students or anyone looking for a stylish, inexpensive laptop for everyday use. It’ll be available in multiple colors and the …

Take one “world’s first” feature, add Alexa and HDR and stir in a splash of AI and you’ve got a laptop that’s begging to be noticed at CES 2019.  With its lid closed, the new $1,500 (roughly AU$2,100 or £1,180) 13.9-inch Yoga S940 laptop doesn’t look too different from other premium ultraportable laptops at the moment.
