How Google’s Earthquake Alerts Protected Millions — And How to Turn It On in Quake-Prone Countries When two massive earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5) struck Venezuela recently, the country had no national early warning system. But millions of Android phones lit up with loud alerts seconds to minutes before the shaking hit — giving people precious time to drop, cover, and hold on. Google’s clever system turns the accelerometers in over 2 billion Android phones into a giant crowdsourced seismic network. It detects the first waves, confirms the quake, and blasts notifications to users in the affected area. In Venezuela, it reached 11.4 million people — proving technology can save lives even where governments can’t. How to activate it (works in nearly 100 countries): Open Settings on your Android phone.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 9,Hot 100 smartphones
In a tweet by reputed tipster who goes by the alias Ice Universe, the front display panel of the Galaxy Note 9 has allegedly been revealed. The panel shown in leak suggests the Galaxy Note 9 will borrow design elements like a dual-curved display and cutouts for front camera, sensors, and earpiece from the Galaxy Note 8. However, it appears to have slim bezels than last time, on the sides, top, and bottom.
Previously, rumours have suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will sport a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity Display with an 18.5:9 aspect ratio.

At its core, the flagship is expected to get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845/ Samsung Exynos 9810 SoC, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Other than that, the Galaxy Note 9 might sport a 4000mAh battery and a dual rear camera setup. Colour variants include Black, Blue, Brown, Grey, and Lavender.
Separately, a report by MobielKopen claims that the South Korean giant has patented a smartphone design that offers an almost-bezel-free design with a minimal bezel on top without the need of a notch but better yet notch it's still a good thing for some people, or any particular placement for the front camera. Interestingly enough, the patent doesn't seem to have a physical fingerprint sensor either on the front or at back, suggesting Samsung might shift to an in-display fingerprint sensor for good with its next flagship - possibly, the Galaxy S10. The report also points towards the presence of a second display on the back of the handset, which seems sketchy considering it could be a placeholder. However, it may also be a way to use the rear camera as a front camera, is users can see a preview on this rear display.
