The competition already has its own news application
The truth is that Samsung does not come into this world with an advantage. Both Apple and Google have their own news and podcast apps. What Samsung has done so far to fill this gap is adding other apps like Flipboard, a popular news service that can be installed independently. But in these cases it came as part of the native software of the phones.
The first time we saw Flipboard installed as standard on a Samsung mobile was in 2011, on board the Samsung Galaxy S3. But it was not the only one. From then on, the company introduced My Magazine and Flipboard Briefing on the home screens of most of its smartphones The time has come, then, to count with its own service.
As the source has revealed, in addition, the News Today application will be compatible with the Bixby wireless speaker. This way, it can work just like Google Home.
On board the Samsung Galaxy Note 8
If the forecasts come true, the news application News Today will arrive on board the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. This will, in fact, be the device that will debut it. Although it is most likely that from that launch, News Today will be installed as standard on all new computers that are arriving
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be presented equipped with a new screen that has been dubbed Infinity Display, due to its reduced frames. And that it will be slightly wider than that of the Samsung Galaxy S8+ that we already know. We are talking about 6.3 inches and a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels.
In addition, the team is expected to come with important improvements, such as a dual camera system.At the heart of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 we would find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, combined with 6 GB of RAM The internal memory would be 64 GB.
The Bixby assistant would come integrated. It would also have a fingerprint sensor, directly installed on the screen, as well as an iris scanner. Logically, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would work out-of-the-box through Android 7, but would be customized with the Samsung Experience and apps like those mentioned.
