Google Shopping relaunches in the US, Lens now offers ideas on what to wear

Posted: 03 Oct 2019 07:30 AM PDT

Google Lens can now offer "style ideas" for how to dress up - just point it to an item of clothing and it will show you photos of people wearing it, which you can use as inspiration for a complete outfit. This complements the existing functionality of finding similar clothes based on a photo. Here's a demo of how it works. First you need a photo - you can snap one on the spot or use an existing image from Google Photos (screenshots work just as well).

Every now and then we hear about a variant of Apple's AirPods with noise-canceling coming up but this is probably the first solid evidence we got.

The Pixel 4 smartphones, expected to arrive in two weeks, have leaked piece by piece. Now 9to5Google obtained the full specs sheet, revealing all you need to know about the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. One thing that immediately grabs the attention is the battery capacity - the Pixel 4 will have 2,800 mAh, while the 4 XL will come with a 3,700 mAh power cell. That's a bit of a setback, since the Pixel 3 had a 2,915 mAh unit, while the Pixel 3a rounded up to 3,000 mAh. The 4 XL variant is also nothing spectacular, matching the battery in the Pixel 3a XL. Google appears to be...

5G-enbabled Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is in the works, will be world's first 5G tablet

Posted: 02 Oct 2019 11:30 AM PDT

Samsung is working on a 5G version of the Galaxy Tab S6 - it will probably become the first 5G-enabled tablet in the world. The tablet, which bears a model number SM-T866N, was spotted in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth certifications. Note that the "N" typically indicates a model slated for South Korea. That makes sense - Samsung's home country is one of few with active 5G networks and the Galaxy S10 5G has been selling pretty well there, plus the Galaxy Note10 duo is available only in 5G flavor. Samsung SM-T866N Galaxy Tab S6 5G certifications: Bluetooth SIG • Wi-Fi Alliance The Samsung...
