Since the launch of the Galaxy S10 series, users (including Samsung) have been creating wallpapers that hide the phone’s hole punch cameras. Now, Chainfire, a well-known Android developer, has released an app called Hidey Hole that aggregates these wallpapers for you (via Android Police).  As the developer states in the app’s Play Store listing, you could get all of these wallpapers yourself by just visiting Reddit.

Qualcomm’s vision for the future of smart speakers is one that’s dramatically better than what we have today. The company announced two new components that will improve the experience all around. A dedicated system-on-a-chip, called the QCS400, aims to boost the IQ of sound bars, as well as in-home and portable smart speakers. Moreover, a refreshed power amplifier, called the CSRA6640, will bring better sound to lower-cost devices. Smarter smart speakers If you have a speaker powered by Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you already know that the experience can be frustrating. Sometimes the speaker doesn’t hear you, or mishears you, or makes you wait a second or two before it comes to life and responds.

The smart speakers on sale today are powered by a variety of parts-bin components. Qualcomm says it has (so far) gotten away with shoehorning its mobile SoCs into smart devices. Now that smart speakers are on track to be in 220 million homes by 2020 to 2021, Qualcomm knew it needed to up its game. Hence the QCS400. This series of chips is the first from Qualcomm that are dedicated to the smart home and smart speaker segments. They were engineered from the ground up with modern voice controls, connectivity, power...

However, eagle-eyed viewers of the announcement noticed that the Stadia controller features an important piece of gaming lore: the Konami Code. You can spot the famous cheat code on the back of the Stadia controller, though it’s only visible for a second or two during Google’s GDC 2019  presentation. We managed to grab a screenshot of the code, which you can see in the image below. Polygon found that the Stadia website also features the Konami Code as an Easter egg. When you visit Stadia’s website, type out the Konami Code on your keyboard (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a). Once that’s done, the website presents you with a 3D model of the Stadia controller. Editor’s Pick 15 best Android games of 2019!
