The Samsung Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 haven’t been fully revealed yet, but the wallpapers have already made their way onto the internet.

SamMobile has posted the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 wallpapers online, and they make for a rather different style compared to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 images.

Unlike the Galaxy flagships’ color swirls, the Galaxy M images are largely mountain-themed (with a desert option too). These images, coming in at 2340 x 2340, don’t seem to offer much in the way of OLED-friendly blacks either. Nevertheless, they seem like a vibrant departure from the usual colors.

Realme 2 becomes company’s most popular series, four months after launch

A look at the back of the Realme 2.

Earlier this month, Realme announced that it had achieved a landmark of four million sales across India and South Asia. Just a few weeks later, the Oppo sub-brand is back to claim another victory for the Realme 2.

Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth took to Twitter to announce that the Realme 2 has managed to hit lifetime sales of over two million units. It’s unclear whether this figure includes both the standard model and the Realme 2 Pro — we’ve contacted Realme to clarify this and will update the article accordingly. Nevertheless, the standard Realme 2 launched in India in early September 2018, which means it took the company just a little over four months to hit this target.

A significant portion of these sales were garnered over the month of October, which marks a festive period in India. In fact, the company was able to capture nine percent market share in India during the period, which made them the second largest player in the online-only segment.

While Realme’s number is nothing to scoff at, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Xiaomi was able to sell over six million smartphones in the same period, according to a press release at the time.

With the Realme 2 sales accounting for over 50 percent of total shipments, there’s no doubt that the series has been the most successful one for the company. Realme has since announced plans to launch a follow-up dubbed the Realme 3 in Q1 2019. Realme also plans to expand into the offline retail segment in India. This will be followed by a camera-centric smartphone that will sport a 48MP shooter which might just prove to be a competitor for the Redmi Note 7. Do you think Realme has what it takes to sustain their sales momentum? Let us know in the comments section.

IBM’s new weather system will use your smartphone sensors for better forecasts

IBM GRAF weather forecast (R) compared to legacy systems.

A legacy forecast system (L) compared to IBM’s new system.

There are billions of smartphones in use today which we can leverage for things like traffic reports and distributed computing projects. Now, IBM thinks it can use all these phones to enable better weather forecasts too (h/t: Ubergizmo).

The veteran tech company announced the IBM Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System (GRAF) at CES 2019, claiming it’ll deliver “the most accurate local weather forecasts ever seen worldwide.”

More specifically, IBM claims it’ll update every hour and has a nearly 200 percent increase in forecasting resolution (from 12 square kilometers to three square kilometers) around the globe. This level of high-resolution forecasting was previously restricted to the likes of the U.S., Japan, and Europe, the tech company said.

GRAF is powered by IBM’s POWER9-based supercomputers, but it’s using pressure sensor readings from smartphone barometers around the world to improve forecasts. It’s unclear how the smartphone readings will take place (such as the relevant app), but IBM insists that it’ll only collect the data if people opt-in to share it. Nevertheless, one would assume these readings would be collected via The Weather Channel app.

Additionally, GRAF will make use of data from aircraft in order to deliver better results. IBM reckons aircraft and smartphone data will be a boon in regions without dedicated weather equipment.

Predictions will be made available globally later in 2019, but IBM says individuals will also be able to gain access to the forecasts via The Weather Channel app, weather.com, the Weather Underground app, or wunderground.com.
