    	<description>As the latest in an ongoing effort by Twitter to remove automated accounts in its platform</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Twitter</strong><strong> deleted more than 10,000 automated accounts posting and sharing messages discouraging from taking part in the upcoming US election. </strong></p>
<p>Most of these accounts are posing as Democrats, <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/tags/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter </a>said.<br /><br />It's been reported that Twitter deleted those automated accounts that sending and sharing misinformation messages according to a report from <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-twitter-exclusive/exclusive-twitter-deletes-over-10000-accounts-that-sought-to-discourage-u-s-voting-idUSKCN1N72FA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Reuters</a>.  "We took action on relevant accounts and activity on Twitter," the social media company said. </p>

    	<description>Yes, it's real, Samsung's much-hyped bendable smartphone is indeed real. Samsung showed their masterpiece at its annual developer</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, it's real, Samsung's much-hyped bendable smartphone is indeed real. Samsung showed their masterpiece at its annual developer's conference—a foldable smartphone that unfolds into a tablet. Which is called an "Infinity Flex Display." This phone, which
    will be called the <a href="https://www.t3.com/news/samung-galaxy-x-rumours-and-leaks">Galaxy F or Galaxy X</a>. Google also mentioned it would support the new Android operating system <a href="https://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-q-features-rumors-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Android Q</a>.</p>
<p>
    <amp-img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/5YftaBxlAXSTEVrRHc/giphy.gif" class="img-fluid fr-fic fr-dii" layout="responsive" width="800" height="500" alt="Samsung’s Foldable Smartphone Reveled"></amp-img><br></p>

<blockquote>
    <span>"When the device is closed, you have all the benefits of a normal smartphone. If you want a bigger screen, you can simply unfold it to reveal the full 7.3-inch display." Jason Denison, Samsung SVP of Mobile Product Marketing.</span>
</blockquote>
<p><br></p>
<h3>Multitasking</h3>
<p>This Samsung bendy phone can run up to 3 apps simultaneously which called "Multi Active Window." Having an extra-large screen display could make chatting to some friend in Facebook Messenger while watching a video on Youtube. Or taking notes while you
    are in a video conference call for a specific meeting.</p>
<blockquote>
    <span>"No swapping between apps, no closing one app to get to another." Denison said.</span>
</blockquote>
<p><br></p>
<h3>Better Gaming Experience</h3>
<p>Well, gaming with a large display could make it easier to move, controls and have a better gaming experience. For games like PUBG mobile or Fortnite, you can use the other half for the game app while using the other half for communicating as a chat window
    with your teammates.</p>
<p><br></p>
<h3>Specifications</h3>
<p>There still no lot revelations of specifications of this phone, it did discuss its new look and foldable phone in the annual developer's conference, but it did not go into the specs. There’s only one rumor about the specs for this foldable phone. The
    resourceful Samsung leaker Ice <a href="https://twitter.com/UniverseIce/status/1058563827602677760" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Universe said</a> that the upcoming smartphone will feature a <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/7nm-processor-development-902644/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">7nm processor</a>.</p>
<p>In addition to the 7nm processor, the foldable phone may be a gaming phone.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<h3>Release and Pricing</h3>
<p>So when we should expect this bendy masterpiece? Kim Jang-yeol, head of research at Golden Bridge Investment, said that the suggested retail price tag of the Samsung foldable phone, which the brokerage firm expects to be released in the first quarter
    of next year, could about 2 million won without subsidies from carriers, <a href="http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/tech/2018/06/133_250530.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Korea Times reports</a>. And it converts over 1,700 US Dollar.</p>
<p><br></p>
<h3>To wrap it up</h3>
<p>Upon the release of Samsung's innovation, analysts expect that we will see smartphones manufacturer pursuing this kind of flexible phones. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.gartner.com/analyst/38974/Mark-Hung" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mark Hung</a>, Gartner
    analyst, views these smartphones as a stepping-stone device to wrist-worn devices, including displays embedded directly onto headwear, clothing, and accessories.</p>
<blockquote>
    <p>"I expect that they'll find more uses in wearable designs," Hung said.</p>
</blockquote>

    	<description>A tremendous surprise that free to play or its abbreviated version F2P turned into a large business when the year 2018 ended</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It may possibly not be a tremendous surprise that free to play or its abbreviated version F2P turned into a large business when the year 2018 ended. It is referred to as the year of the fortnite game. Its size is actually impressionable.
</p>

<p>For those who have no idea what the free to play is all about, it will be explained shortly in this article.</p>

<p><br></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm;"><br></p>
<h2>A Look Into The Free To Play Platform</h2>

<p><br></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">The free to play or F2P is referred to as a business model for majorly online games. Here, the creators of the game do not ask or expect the users or interested players to pay to join in the game.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">However, their revenue is gotten from in-game trades such as upgrade payment, unique abilities, unique items and some expansion packages. Review is also gotten from advertisements.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">It is worthy to note that, even if the creators say it is free, there is surely a way users pay. Such games without any open price but having plenty of methods to generate money garnered a whopping sum of $88 billion in the year 2018 alone.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">This amount achieved gave the common games, television and even movies a run for their money.</p>

<p><br></p>

<h2>Review On Its Market</h2>
<p><br></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">The news going around about the free to play business is that the overall gaming market made a large sum of $110 billion. Majority of the money which is roughly $61 billion was gotten from mobile. Mobile is actually the habitat of the exciting platform.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">However, its $88 billion revenue gotten from all of its platforms is noted to be tremendously adequate to generate an explosive top ten and a bigger tail. Nevertheless, the regular gaming still achieved some revenue.</p>

<p>
    <a href="https://www.superdataresearch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
        <amp-img layout="responsive" width="800" height="622" src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/article/free-to-play-generates-88-million-in-revenue-topping-the-entertainment-world.jpg"></amp-img>
    </a>
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">The regular gaming is known as pay to play in which users pay roughly $60 to play. But in this platform, there is no recognizable investment. This platform is gradually falling in its importance though managed to gather the sum of $16 billion from computers
    and games all over the world.</p>


<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<h2>Leading Games On Free To Play</h2>

<p><br></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">The top earner of the free to play platform is its <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/category/fortnite" target="_blank">Fortnite</a>&nbsp;that gathered the sum of $2.4 billion. Fortnite has a very large community of dedicated followers, and it's also found
    on diverse platforms.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">Moving from Fortnite is a mix of computers, mobiles, Western and Asian games that have diverse styles. The total amount brought jointly by the top ten amounted to $14.6 billion.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">Even with this, there was still a lot to share for the remaining titles. Majority of the free to play large revenues was gotten from Asia. There, one can see the Powerhouse establishments such as Tencent that have continuously pushed lots of games on
    the grounds of microtransactions.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">However, the highly prominent Battleground; the hit game that kicked off the battle Royale frenzy, actually got revenue of $1 billion by itself. Surprisingly, the popular Grand Theft Auto V; a game that was created about five years ago, produced roughly
    $628 million.</p>

<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<h4>To Wrap It Up</h4>

<p><br></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">Finally, it would not be nice not to pay respect to the views on YouTube and Twitch. They both created up to half of the revenue for gaming videos. Twitch meswas, however, ahead of YouTube.&nbsp;

</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0cm;">All we can say is a big congrats to the gamer known as Ninja; the most watched Twitch streamer, and other gamers who are steadily generating a living from this intriguing market.A Look Into The Free To Play Platform</p>

    	<description>A few days back, Google suspended Android's hugest phone manufacturers, i.e. Huawei, The Chinese company has been suspended from</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are different phones available for individuals who do not own the prominent Apple phone or even a Samsung phone.</p>

<p>

</p>
<p><span>The technologically advanced era has seen the rise of
diverse phone manufacturers from different corners of the world, producing
various phones. One of such phones is the prominent Huawei phone.</span></p>



<p><span>Huawei has done an excellent job to be known not only in its
country of origin but also extends further to diverse regions. However, there
is an issue currently rocking the boat of Huawei heavily.</span></p>



<p><span>A few days back, Google suspended Android's hugest phone
manufacturers, i.e. Huawei.</span></p>

<p><span>The Chinese company has been suspended from receiving
<a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/android" target="_blank">Android</a>&nbsp;updates the moment Trump’s administration barred it from going into
trades with companies in the United States.</span></p>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>Basically, what this ban implies is that not just Google but
other companies in the United States cannot and will no longer be supplying any
form of technology to the Chinese company without the approval of the US
government.</span></p>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>So many other United States chip manufacturers have informed
their employees as well that they will be complying actively to this new order
without fail.</span></p>



<p><span>In simpler terms, both Google and chipmakers in the United
States have suspended access and cut off supplies respectively to the telecoms
company located in China.</span></p>



<p><span>This comes after the government of the United States under
direct orders from the administration of trump added the company to its
<a href="http://time.com/5593525/united-states-blacklist-chinese-companies-hikvision/" target="_blank">blacklist</a>.</span></p>



<p><span>According to the statement issued by Google on the issue, it
stated that it was complying diligently to the executive order issued by
President Donald Trump and is, however, reviewing the implications of its ban.</span></p>



<p><span>Later on, Google added that its Google Play app, in which
the company enables users to easily download applications, along with the
security features of its antivirus software known as Google Play protect would
continue existing on all Huawei devices.</span></p>



<p><span>However, new versions of the Huawei smartphones that will be
manufactured outside China would ultimately lose their access to prominent
services and applications like:</span></p>
<ul>
    <li> Google map</li>
    <li>Google play and;</li>
    <li>The popular Gmail app</li></ul>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>In the same vein, Huawei will keep on having easy access to
the Android operating system version that is available via the open source
license, which is free to everyone that wishes to make use of it.</span></p>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>Nevertheless, Reuters has <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-tech-alphabet-exclusive/exclusive-google-suspends-some-business-with-huawei-after-trump-blacklist-source-idUSKCN1SP0NB" target="_blank">reported</a>&nbsp;that with the ban that
took place on Sunday, Google will eventually stop offering technical support as
well as collaboration for Google and Android services.</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<h2>Effect Of The Ban On Huawei</h2>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>With the revoke of Huawei’s Android license by Google, a lot
of companies in the United States including chipmakers Broadcom and Qualcomm,
as well as storage supplier; Western Digital, have all stopped working with
Huawei as well.</span></p>



<p><span>Should this kneecapping go on for much more longer, the
smartphone business of Huawei will not only be messed up outside China, but
there is also likely to be a vast range of consequences than most people
realize.</span></p>



<p><span>Meanwhile, everyone should note that a Google play
alternative will not be the best bet as it will not be enough. There is no easy
way to take the current situation Huawei has found itself in; it is really bad.</span></p>



<p><span>Even more, Google has not only essentially cut Huawei off
from having quick access to its latest Android builds, but it is also no longer
enabling the Chinese company to load its Google play store and other services
on Huawei devices.</span></p>



<p><span>In China itself, this ban is not much of an issue because
Google and its services have already been banned earlier, and Huawei devices
make use of optional apps from their own companies like Tencent and Baidu.</span></p>



<p><span>But, outside China, history has revealed over time that it
is practically impossible for mobile phone makers to succeed effectively
without having any access to Google’s services or Google play.</span></p>




<p>This is evident in already dead phone platforms such as:</p>
<p>

</p>
<ul>
    <li>Blackberry 10</li>
    <li>Amazon's FireOS</li>
    <li>Windows 10 mobile, etc</li></ul>

<p><span>All these phones failed as a result of not having any access
to a huge app ecosystem. Excluding those who reside in China, as the country
may probably be on another planet when it comes down to app ecosystems, who
would actually purchase a Huawei phone that cannot access vital services like:</span></p>

<ul>
    <li>Google map</li>
    <li>YouTube</li>
    <li>Google Drive</li>
    <li>Gmail, and so on</li>
</ul>


<p>

</p>
<p><span>Who would actually buy a phone that has no means of
installing popular social media apps like Youtube or Instagram? There are so
many people that will not.</span></p>

<p><br></p>
<h2>What Happens To The Current Users Of Huawei</h2>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>According to Google, current owners of Huawei phones will be
able to retain their access to its play store and will continue to be capable
of updating their applications. However, the huge stuff is written out of their
near future centers on new Android OS updates.</span></p>



<p><span>In order to get those once again, phone owners of Huawei, as
well as fans, will need to be hopeful for a resolution in the United
States-China issue that has actually been the trigger for the latest
blacklisting of the company by Trump’s administration.</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<h2>




















    Huawei's Response</h2>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>Freshly out of its current sledgehammer blow of having
Google revoke its Android license as a result of the demands made by the United
States government, Huawei has made its first <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/20/18632234/huawei-android-ban-response-google-security-updates" target="_blank">response</a>&nbsp;although limited</span></p>



<p><span>It is limited because it left room for more questions than
answering them. The statement they made was emailed directly to The Verge.
Huawei stated its fascinating contributions to the growth of Android
internationally.</span></p>



<p><span>This growth saw the Chinese company’s Android phone sales
grow by double digits while every other top smartphone vendors were either
stagnant or shrinking.</span></p>



<p><span>In its statement, Huawei reassured the current users of the
brand and its subsidiary brand: Honor phones that it will continue to receive
after-sales service as well as security updates.</span></p>



<p><span>This promise will also be covering phones that have already
been shipped and those in stock at diverse stores universally, however, no
extra promises were made beyond this.</span></p>

<p><br></p>
<h3>To Wrap It Up</h3>
<p><span>As a solution, Huawei actually embarked on
preparations earlier in case of an event that will make them lose access to
software from companies in the United States such as Microsoft and Google.</span></p>
<p>

</p>
<p><span>Also, the company has been creating an in-house operating
system as an alternative to the prominent Android. This may actually be what
they were hinting on in their statement that read that they will keep on
building a secure and sustainable software community. &nbsp;The critical word
remains “sustainable.”</span></p>

    	<description>There is a thrill of suspense right now, that is making everyone to put their ears down for the latest update on new OS</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>There is a
thrill of suspense right now, that is making everyone to put their ears down
for the latest update on a new operating system, but the question is, is there
really a plan-B? This sudden viral question arose due to the internal threats
and warnings going on between the United States government under the
administration of Donald Trump and Ren Zhengfei, the CEO of Huawei.</span></p><p><br></p><h2>What's
The Fuss About?</h2><p><span>The bone of
contention here is this - The US government wants to deny Ren's company
(Huawei) of complete access to the Android operating system. With this singular
act by the US, Ren has taken up the case with threats of a new "third
operating system" that will dominate Google and Apple OS, that is if the
US government <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/articles/effects-of-the-huawei-ban" target="_blank">won't</a>&nbsp;let Google make the Android operating system available to
Huawei.</span></p><p><span>The US on
their own part won't let this happen because it's to their own detriment, and
not benefit. The threats of a new smartphone OS launch by Huawei has been on
since the US government blacklist announcement in May (not final though).</span></p><p><span>There have
been a series of threats from HongMeng to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/9/20798251/huawei-harmonyos-hongmengos-smartphones-internet-of-things-operating-system-android" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HarmonyOS</a>, and the recently launched
cross-platform IoT OS (it turned out to be not so good). Even at the launch of
HarmonyOS, shifting it to smartphones seemed like a new global ecosystem was
about to be formed, notwithstanding their 2-day accomplishment assurance.</span></p><p><br></p><h2>Does
Huawei Need Google?</h2><p><span>Despite the
threats and deeds, a month ago, the CEO attested to the fact that the company
needs Google, and for a "plan-B"-there was none. But this statement
isn't conclusive because, if really the US impedes Huawei's access to Google,
then an alternate plan-B is certain with its expertise and China Inc. back up.</span></p><p><span>This warranted
the warning by Ren to Google, the US, and Apple </span></p><blockquote><span>"you cannot rule out the
chance that the third operating system might outrun them someday".</span></blockquote><p><span> If the
US forces China into this, other companies will follow suit. The US wouldn't
want this to happen.</span></p><p><span>Zhengfei also
told the US that UK will be forced to relinquish Huawei's 5G network in spite
of Trumps' solicitation. With John Bolton's (USNC adviser) visit to London
recently, he held that the British officials were looking deep into the Huawei
case with much focus on avoiding any compromise in the security of
telecommunication in the 5G space. However, they actually said that were
reviewing their decisions.</span></p><p><span>Ren still
believes that the UK will choose economics over politics, they won't say no to
the Chinese company's technology from the country's 5G implementation. The UK
has been Huawei's main market for networking, and the US blacklisting thing has
been a terrifying one for them. There is also a spy unit with UK's GCHQ for
examining Huawei's security and its technology.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>There has been
a <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3023215/huawei-denies-helping-governments-uganda-and-zambia-spy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">report</a>&nbsp;of spy units in Uganda and Zambia but it was clearly denied and said
that the UK isn't so much concerned about this though. Politics and commercials
here is simple, and Huawei has a substantial position in the UK's 5G space
launch.</span></p>
<p><span>But the fact
here is this - with the exit of Britain, they have little power to stop the 5G
network lunch and pay the price. We all need answers to certain questions, it
seems like two different issues here, but it's just one, between these 3. And
Huawei will definitely not act until the US gives it a reason to do so, which
makes plan-B close to a reality.</span></p>
<p><span>The CEO
admitted Huawei's works in Xinjiang and his sales to carrier operators and
others. This company actually obeys the sovereign system of every state. Telcos
are still signing with Huawei and the US still going about their business,
nothing has happened yet.</span></p><p><br></p><em><span style="font-size: 12px;">Image via Clubtech</span></em>]]></content:encoded>

    	<description>Have you heard about the new Samsung Galaxy? Find out what information was leaked just a week ago. We've compiled plenty of detail</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past few weeks, there have been multiple leaks about the new Samsung <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/smartphone">smartphone</a>. Some of these leaks have been towards the phone itself, while others are showing off the new packaging. A majority of these listings have come from the <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/samsung" target="_blank">Samsung</a>&nbsp;Company, which is located in South Korea. Leaks are not uncommon in this day and age, but because everyone is eager to hear more about the new phone release, there's been a push for more information. </p><h2><br>Samsung Galaxy Won’t Charge</h2><p>This is what many people say, but some design flaws will be repaired. The confusion has lead to numerous conclusions based on what the design is, what specifications come with it, and when the release date will be. However, many of us have to understand that this leak was not warranted. It was an accidental leak that had gone up online on the South Korean website, Samsung. The company accidentally uploaded the wrong photo, stirring controversy as to the specs of the new Samsung A90 <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/what-is-5g-everything-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">5G</a>&nbsp;smartphone.</p><p>This leak has sparked many controversies, and many competitors wanted a glimpse to see if their projects are doing any better. To help alleviate some of the leaks, Samsung has taken it upon themselves to research accurate information to stop possible misinformation and rumors. To combat this, they've decided to announce some of their specs officially but also discredit any rumors made my false information or competitors. </p><h2><br>Leaked Information</h2><p>The Samsung Galaxy A90 5G box includes listings of the phone's specifications and other small information, such as the Samsung Galaxy buds. This helps compare it to their rival with the other Samsung Smartphones on the market. Samsung’s official website had initially been listed all of the specs on the site, before noticing their mistake and taking it down. </p><p>On top of the box leak, there has also been a leak for the phone itself, allowing us to know the look, design, and color, and even some features. This includes the ability to play your favorite mobile casino apps like on this <a href="https://777spinslot.com/mobile-casino-games/" target="_blank">website</a>, social media apps, an amazing camera, and much more. This includes the notorious <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/articles/how-samsungs-masterpiece-looks-a-foldable-smartphone" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy fold</a>. Due to a lack of damage control, Samsung itself has since then confirmed these leaks and has tried to take a corporate stand on marketing their product. </p><p>A significant leak that has been going around is the design of the Samsung Galaxy A90 5Gs handset. Unlike other smartphones in this day and age, the following headset features key specs of 6.7 inches with full HD Tremendour Amoled Infinity-U Show, as well as a 48- megapixel camera, However, the 40 Megapixel camera includes a 5-megapixel and an 8-megapixel triple rear camera on the back. The 32 megapixels are located on the front of the camera.</p><p>As for storage, the Samsung Galaxy a90 5G includes 6GB of RAM, without the use of additional storage devices. Other than that, it includes 128 GB of built-in storage. On top of those features, the device includes a powerful octa-core processor that ensures the device’s battery will be fast charging. It’s nearly comparable to the Snapdragon 855, which already has been tested as the fastest existing charger.</p><p>Additionally, there was also another leak that had leaked a promo slide on the Samsung official website.<a href="https://english-wiki.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_A90" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> This</a>&nbsp;page has been taken down, and not many pictures are floating around due to that. The Promo image announced the upcoming model number of SM-A908N and confirmed the name. Further, then that, it also includes a screen which consists of the front, bacn, three cameras on the backside. This is a considerable downgrade from their Samsung Galaxy A80, which leads us to believe that photo lovers should skip this smartphone.</p>

<br></p>

    <h2><br>Samsung Galaxy A90 5G VS Others</h2><p>Now, there were two main drops this past week, and one was for the Samsung Galaxy A90 5G, but another listing did pop up. The A90 tends to be a fast-charging device which 25W charging speeds. However, their A91 was leaked at the same time but boasted that it had close to double the charging speeds of 45W. So, the new releases from Samsung will be highly dependent upon individualized needs rather than promoting their new cell.</p><h3><br>Conclusion</h3><p>In recap, compared to other smartphone designs, the Samsung A90 does have a huge capacity and comes with all the features you'd want in a handheld device. However, some of the features are thereof lacking, which could cause you to be a bit frustrated if you were expecting otherwise. Please take the time to wait for Samsung's Official announcements before making any plans to pre-order or purchase.&nbsp;</p><p>With their extensive line of upcoming Samsung smartphones, it’s best to not jump to conclusions even though the new information is exciting. From a business standpoint, these could be some of their non-finished products, which leaves a lot to the imagination. That</p>]]></content:encoded>
