Matt Swider, Senior Mobile and Buying Guides Editor for TechRadar, explains what to make of the newest Samsung Galaxy S9 rumors and their limited edition Olympic Note8. He also breaks down Chromecast's Wi-Fi issues and the newest Android malware discovery.
Samsung's new Galaxy S9 is expected to have better battery life, and Swider says it will keep the headphone jack. The company's Winter Olympics Note8 will be white, and will only be issued to Olympians and their families.
