While the Galaxy Z Fold 2 outpaced the Galaxy Z Fold 3 on display shipments by 2-percent. With the latter gadget and the China-specific Galaxy W22 accounting for just 2-percent....
Qualcomm showcased a proof of concept (POC) featuring the iSIM in Europe. Simply put, iSIM goes directly into the primary processor. This, according to the chipmaker’s press release (via XDA), enables “higher performance, and increased memory capacity.” While the eSIM needs a chip of its own, the iSIM can free up some space on the device. In other words, the iSIM would sit alongside components like the CPU, GPU, and modem....

The reason behind Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp outage has been revealed The services are now up and running, and Facebook decided to explain what happened.

The folks at 9to5Google also experienced some of these issues with the Spotify Android app. One of the primary complaints is the disappearance of the playback bar within the app. This means the app cannot recognize the song that’s currently playing. To make matters worse, the Android OS cannot recognize the audio from the app either. In some instances, audio can overlap with other sources, such as YouTube. While Spotify hasn’t specified the root of the problem, most of the complaints stem from Android 12 users, so it’s likely a compatibility issue....
The developer Danny Lin (aka kdrag0n) has now launched the stable version of the Repainter app on the Play Store (via XDA). So what does this app do? Well, it lets users pick colors that aren’t consistent with the wallpaper. Additional options include the ability to alter aspects like tint and brightness.

The Galaxy S21 FE is a successor to the Galaxy S20 FE, an immensely popular handset from Samsung. The Galaxy S20 FE was an all-around great phone, and was even dubbed “flagship killer” by some. The timing of the Galaxy S21 FE launch, in combination with its price tag, likely won’t see the device rise to the same heights. The Galaxy S22 series is launching next month, and the Galaxy S21 FE price tag may not be low enough to compel users....
With the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung opted to include a ton of smaller upgrades. Like making the Cover Display 120Hz, adding IPX8 water-proofing, and improving the hinge.

The company didn’t launch any flagship tablet in 2021 as the market slowed down after a sudden peak in demand during the coronavirus pandemic.

The phone was quite successful and the company followed up with the Galaxy S21 FE earlier this year. The latest model was supposed to arrive in 2021 but it was delayed multiple times due to various reasons. It eventually went official in January 2022....
The rumor was passed along by a Galaxy user on Samsung’s official community forums in South Korea. The forum post doesn’t reveal much else about the new fitness tracker. One user suggests the company could charge around KRW 49,000 – 50,000 for the wearable in its homeland. That’s the same price tag (KRW 49,500) the Galaxy Fit 2 debuted with a couple of years back. So the Galaxy Fit 3 should cost the same $60 in the US too (€50 in Europe) when it arrives later this year....

The current lineup lets customers not only customize how many doors the fridge has and its style or layout. The company also lets buyers customize its door colors and materials. Including the FlexZone Drawer, freezer drawer, and french-style doors for the main fridge....
The Korean firm didn’t share photo samples from the 200MP camera. Instead, it captured an image of a cat using the sensor and printed the photo. The printed photograph is 28-meter-wide and 22-meter-high (see featured image above). That’s about one and a half times the size of a basketball court. But despite such an enormous printout, the image still looks quite sharp with plenty of detail. This highlights the resolution of this gigantic camera....
