We’re just a couple of months into the public rollout of Android 9.0 Pie, but the first hint at the future of the mobile OS might have leaked online this week. Spotted by Mr Gizmo Blog, a recently uploaded benchmark for the Google Pixel 3 XL on Geekbench indicates that the device is running Android Q. Google has yet to make the next major Android version official, but it looks like it might already be in some phase of testing.

The rest of the benchmark appears to be in line with what we’ve come to expect from the Pixel 3 XL: the same specs, the same model, and the same single-core (2404) and multi-core (8510) scores. The only noteworthy difference is the operating system, which reads Android 9 in virtually every other Geekbench test.

Of all the moons in our solar system, the Martian moon of Phobos might be the most interesting. It’s not a near-perfect sphere like most of the moons we see, and it almost looks like an overgrown asteroid just kind of hanging out in orbit around the Red Planet. It’s also covered in craters and huge depressions, and long grooves that stretch almost its entire length.

Researchers have long wondered what caused those large valleys to form, and what kind of force it might have taken to blanket Phobos in such a strange pattern. Now, new research published in Planetary and Space Science may have finally solved that riddle, and it all comes down to some very large rocks.

Mars is a dry, dusty planet that looks like a lifeless ball of rock in just about every image we see. Thick cloud cover isn’t something we’re used to seeing on the Red Planet but new imagery from the European Space Agency shows a miles-long cloud sitting in place above a geographical feature that has been dead for millions of years.

The cloud was spotted hovering over the Arsia Mons volcano. Oftentimes if you see thick plumes over a volcano it’s a sign of volcanic activity, if not an imminent eruption, but Arsia Mons has been extinct and silent for tens of millions of years. So, what’s the deal? ESA thinks it has the answer.

As smartphone design changes become increasingly negligible, phone makers have to find new ways to make their devices stand out in a crowded field. Along those lines, SamMobile reports that at least one model of the Galaxy S10, slated to launch in 2019, will feature a ceramic back in black and white color schemes.

Recent reports surrounding the highly-anticipated 10th anniversary flagship suggest that Samsung will release four separate models of the Galaxy S10. There will be an entry level model with a 5.8-inch display and single rear camera, a premium 5.8-inch model with dual cameras, a 6.44-inch model with three cameras, and a massive 6.7-inch model expected to feature four rear cameras, two front-facing cameras, and 5G support.
