[Update: Starting to arrive] Google Pixels will be able to save Call Screen transcripts later this year

• Update 1: 2018/11/30 3:21pm PST
  Google has begun rolling out the Call Screen transcript feature, though so far it appears to be far from widespread. To see if it's gone live for your phone,

Call Screen was arguably the most impressive feature Google debuted at the Pixel 3 launch event. Google's AI can answer the phone and ask what the purpose of the call is, providing an on-screen transcript of the conversation so you can decide if you want to talk to them or not.

Show off your Chrome dino-game skills with the arrival of cross-device high score sync

Since 2014, Chrome has featured a delightful little time waster that kicks in when your device doesn't have internet access. It's a game featuring a dinosaur that hops over cacti (and, eventually, other dinosaurs), in which your score increases as you progress through a pixelated desert. Until recently, that score was lost when you stopped playing, but as of Chrome version 72, it's finally saved — and it even syncs between your devices.

See the sweet new blue and white colors for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Note 9

• Mobile industry leaker Evan Blass just tweeted a pic of a Galaxy S9 Plus and a Galaxy Note 9 in new colors.
• The Galaxy S9 Plus is in Polaris Blue and the Note 9 is in Alpine White.
• There's no word on which markets will see these new colors or when they might arrive.

---

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a few months old already, and the Samsung Galaxy S9 is even older. However, Samsung is still working on new ways to sell the smartphones as it appears there are two new colors coming sometime soon.

Mobile industry leaker Evan Blass (@EVLeaks) just tweeted out an image of a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus next to a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The Galaxy S9 Plus is in a new color Blass calls Polaris Blue, and the Note 9 is in a color he calls Alpine White.

Check out the tweet and the image below:

Samsung just launched a beautiful white Galaxy Note 9, but only in Taiwan

Samsung (Facebook) Samsung Taiwan has just released a beautiful new color option for the Galaxy Note 9 (via SamMobile). "First Snow White," as Samsung calls it, is the official name of the new white Galaxy …

Interestingly, Samsung launched a white variant of the Galaxy Note 9 only a week ago. However, that white is called First Snow White and is exclusive to Taiwan. Although the color schemes look remarkably similar, this Alpine White must be something different.

Blass doesn't clarify which markets will get these as-yet-unreleased color variants, nor does he say when they will launch. However, it's nice to know that if you were upset you couldn't get the First Snow White variant of the Note 9 and wished the Galaxy S9 came in a color similar to the Note 9's Ocean Blue, you might have similar options soon.

Video of Lenovo Z5S shows us what a camera-hole cutout will actually look like

The "camera hole" looks set to replace the more traditional notch in the future, but we still don't really know what the concept will actually end up looking like in person. At least, we didn't until today: Sparrow News seems to have gotten its hands on real-life (if slightly potato) photos and video of Lenovo's Z5S, which features such a circular cutout. And it looks pretty snazzy.

With Huawei (and potentially Samsung) considering hole-style camera cutouts in upcoming phones, odds are at least one phone in the near future is going to sport one.

Gboard v7.8 prepares option to clear search history, enhancements to voice typing and clipboard manager [APK Teardown]

 

The latest update to the Gboard app is now out, but it doesn't appear to be adding any features in this update, or at least not yet. A teardown points to some enhancements to some features we've either seen in the past or expect to go live in the near future, including tweaks to the Clipboard Manager, an option to delete search history, follow-ups related to voice typing, and of course, a ton of new languages and localized keyboards.

Apple gives in, will allow Apple Music on Amazon Echo devices

• Starting sometime in the middle of December, you will be able to stream Apple Music through Amazon Echo devices.
• This means you'll no longer be limited to Apple's Homepod for voice assistant integration within a smart speaker.
• Apple is likely making this move to better compete with rival Spotify. Could Google Home hardware be next?

---

If you are one of the 50 million people who subscribe to Apple Music, you likely have been a bit miffed that you've so far been limited to Apple's own Homepod for voice assistant integration within a smart speaker.

Well, at some point in December 2018, you'll have one other option: Amazon Echo devices (via Deadline).

Amazon and Apple recently signed a deal together which would allow Amazon to sell more Apple products. It's likely today's reveal of Apple Music and Echo devices playing nice together is a by-product of that deal.

Apple Music vs Spotify vs Google Play Music

For well over a decade, the music industry has been trying to figure out the Internet and they have failed more often than they have succeeded. Declining music sales and the rise of free sources …

Apple's main rival in the music streaming space is Spotify, which has over 30 million more subscribers than Apple Music. People who use Spotify can stream the service through all the major smart speaker platforms, including Google Home hardware. In fact, if you subscribe to a Spotify family plan before the end of the year, Spotify will literally give you a Google Home Mini.

Apple knows that if it wants to truly compete with Spotify, it's going to need to broaden its horizons.

Does this mean Apple Music will eventually come to Google Home? It's too early to tell for now, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. If Apple starts to treat Apple Music as a standalone product and not something that is intrinsically linked to the Apple ecosystem, it would be crazy to not allow the service on as many platforms as possible.

However, this is Apple we're talking about, so who knows whether or not the company will expand to other smart speakers. For now, just look forward to sometime in the middle of December for Apple Music to work with your Echo gear.

Instagram now lets you choose Close Friends to share 'more personal' Stories with

Instagram Stories let you send disappearing messages to your friends, but until now, you had to send them to all your friends. That's changing now, though, as Instagram has announced a new feature that lets you pare your audience for certain Stories down to just a select subset of your followers.

The feature is called Close Friends. You can add and remove followers from the list at any time; they won't know.
