At the rate carriers are planning on rolling out 5G coverage, it probably won’t be too long until 5G starts becoming the new standard that replaces 4G LTE internet on our phones. However the next problem is the availability of 5G smartphones where there aren’t many, if any, options available at the moment.

However for those who don’t mind holding out until the later part of the year, you might be interested to learn that a report out of Korea (via The Android Soul) has indicated that Samsung could be bringing 5G support to the Galaxy Note 9. The report claims that Samsung will turn to the use of HRC antennas instead of using LDS, which is what they have been using.

What this means is that the phones could be equipped to support 5G, although the next question is whether or not the modem that will be included in the phone will support it. Samsung’s interest in 5G is readily apparent as the company just last month demonstrated a prototype 5G tablet.

However according to the rumors, Samsung’s 5G modem for its Exynos chipsets are only expected to arrive in 2019, meaning that there’s a chance we might not see it this year. Either way it’s probably best taken with a grain of salt for now, but if you think you can hold off on buying a new smartphone, maybe you could consider waiting and seeing if the rumors hold true.

As the rest of society gets even more hi-tech, we suppose it is inevitable that even religion catches up. For example at one point WeChat allowed users to pay for prayers, so we guess it isn’t surprising that the Church of England is now accept more modern payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay when it comes to receiving donations.

According to a report from the BBC, it appears that the Church of England has been conducting trials where they are accepting Apple Pay and Google Pay for donations. They believe that this should appeal to younger churchgoers who might not carry as much cash around due to the rise in contactless payment systems such as the ones mentioned above.

However while it might be an interesting idea, there are some who believe this could slow down the donation collection process. This makes sense because it is a lot faster to drop notes or coins inside a box, versus taking your phone or credit card out, launching the app, and then tapping the terminal. Plus there is also the issue of service charge.

However despite some potential disadvantages, Reverend Margaret Cave from Christchurch in East Greenwich seems to be pretty chuffed with the system. “It’s really great. I’m going to keep it. It makes us feel like we’re part of the 21st century, and we can take payments in a safe and secure way. As a vicar, I also know we don’t have cash floating around.”
