Arm is one of the greatest players in the semiconductor industry. And it has been through the wringer in recent months. After SoftBank failed to complete its $40 billion deal with Nvidia, the future of Arm is still in ambiguity. But Qualcomm seems to be willing to acquire Arm to expand its dominance in the market. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon told Financial Times they’re interested in forming a consortium and acquiring Arm....
Raise To Answer app allows you to speed up the call answering process This application basically allows you to answer an incoming call without pressing or swiping anything on the actual display, or touching the physical buttons. All you have to do is raise your device to your ear, that’s it. This application will detect when your phone is ringing, and when you place the device next to your ear.

Razer has seemingly learned a lot since then. Taking all of the feedback about previous models and incorporating improvements wherever it could. The result is arguably Razer’s best pair of true wireless earbuds yet. Although the company still offers a higher quality (on paper) version of the mobile audio accessory, the new Hammerhead True Wireless V2 offer a hard-to-beat value. Thanks to a mostly uncompromised set of features. We’ve been spending the last few weeks using these earbuds on and off for everything from games to music (mostly gaming though)....
It was either that or connect a Bluetooth-enabled controller like the DualShock 4, DualSense, or Xbox controller and attach a phone mount. Neither of those scenarios are really ideal. At least for me. Controllers with a phone mount feel too weighty and top-heavy, and the Kunai 3 just isn’t as comfortable as Razer’s Kishi. But unless I wanted to play games on a much less powerful device, the original Kishi has routinely been out of the question....

So far, Google has suspended Play Store and YouTube payments in Russia. The new sanctions mean that Russian developers and content creators can’t get payments by Google. However, a native platform similar to Play Store might solve the problem for both Russian developers and Android users.

YouTube channel HDTVTest first reported Samsung’s benchmark manipulation on the S95B QD-OLED TV in April. They found the device to be falsely reporting color accuracy and luminance during measurement. The same level of accuracy isn’t available to users with real content. Following this report, FlatpanelsHD checked and confirmed the discrepancy in the benchmark results. Moreover, the publication also discovered similar behaviors with Samsung’s QN95B Neo OLED LCD. They further found that the TV momentarily boosts the peak brightness by up to a staggering 80 percent when a benchmark software is run....

According to Samsung, discarded fishing nets are one of the biggest threats to ocean life. While people usually see water bottles and grocery bags as ocean-bound plastics, more than 640,000 tons of fishing nets reportedly end up in the big waterbodies every year. These nets trap and entangle marine life, damage coral reefs, affect natural habitats, and even find their way into our food and water sources. The South Korean behemoth is now repurposing these discarded fishing nets as part of its Galaxy for the Planet journey....

The analyst added that Samsung would also sell about two million older foldable models, such s the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 this year....
Not much information is available about this product at the moment. It appears to bear the model number EP-P9500 but that isn’t confirmed yet. It’s possible that the EP-P9500 is a different charging accessory and has no connection with the Wireless Charger Hub. Things should get clearer as Samsung progresses with the development of the product. From what we can tell right now, Samsung may be planning to release the Wireless Charger Hub around the same time as the Galaxy S23 series in February 2023....
The folks over at LetsGoDigital glanced over the Samsung patent and commissioned high-quality renders with the assistance of graphic designer Jermaine Smit aka Concept Creator. It’s too early to speculate what the finished product will look like. But these renders give us a decent idea of the display’s functioning. This unique display format could come in handy for PiP or video calls As you can see from the patent filing below, the display has a distinct L-shape when unfolded....

The stable One UI 4.0 update for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is rolling out with firmware version F916BXXS2FULE. The new release also bundles the December 2021 Android security patch. Though this month’s SMR (security maintenance release) brings fixes for plenty of vulnerabilities found in Android OS as well as Samsung’s One UI, it’s of little significance in front of the number of other goodies that are part and parcel of this update....
