The report cites “highly-educated opinion leaders” as Twitter’s most significant users, leading to an increase in valuation. Moreover, Twitter has seemingly jumped ten places from 36th to 26th in the global rankings for the world’s most valuable media brands. “Musk’s interest in Twitter underlines an often overlooked aspect of brands. They are crucial not just for grabbing consumer attention, but also in influencing investor behaviour too. Musk’s interest in Twitter, and the billions he is prepared to invest in it are the consequence, in large part, or the strength of its brand,” Managing Director at Brand Finance, Richard Haigh, said in a press release....

Twitter and Elon Musk are currently engaged in a very extensive legal dispute, and each is trying to win the battle. Both sides already agreed to appear in Delaware’s Court of Chancery in October. In the end, everything depends on the court ruling. However, if the court forces Musk to complete his buyout offer, Twitter shareholders will be happy with that. Twitter shareholders gathered at a meeting a few days ago to discuss the current company’s status....

Twitter is currently testing these Facebook-style Tweet Reactions among a small group of users in Turkey. It could roll out the new reactions to users in other regions in the coming weeks, before eventually making them available to all. “Based on this test, we may expand the availability of the Reactions experiment to other regions,” the company has said. More Tweet Reactions are coming to Twitter Twitter has traditionally offered only one way to react to a tweet....

Huawei has been under the US radar since a few years ago when it was revealed that the company has suspicious ties with the Chinese government for espionage purposes. The FCC recently imposed a new ban on Huawei and ZTE to prevent them from entering the US market. The Justice Department says two Chinese agents tried to disrupt the investigation against Huawei by gaining access to confidential information and trial evidence....

The Ulefone Armor 12 5G antibacterial feature can repel 99.9% of bacteria Ulefone says that it added a silver ion to the back cover of the phone. Ulefone says that this has excellent antibacterial efficiency, as it can resist up to 99.9-percent of bacteria. Such a feature is not bad to have, of course, quite the contrary. The cleaner your phone is, the better. Bacteria is all around us, and the fact the Armor 12 5G can resist up to 99....

As of this writing, the new SMR (security maintenance release) is only available to the unlocked versions of the two phones. But it shouldn’t be long before Samsung releases the update to the carrier-locked Galaxy Note 20 units as well. International versions of the phones also have yet to receive the latest security patch. The new update for the unlocked Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra phones in the US comes with firmware version N98xU1UES2DUK2....

Which means more people will have them by the week’s end. In fact, Valve actually says it’s going to more than double the number of shipments it sends out on a weekly basis. What’s more, is that this change is going to start after tomorrow. So by Wednesday and going forward, Steam Decks are going to start arriving a whole heck of a lot faster. You still need the email to make your purchase of course....

The Vivo X Fold+ is official, with a number of improvements over the Vivo X Fold Think of the Vivo X Fold+ as an improved version of the Vivo X Fold. They do share the design, and quite a few specs, but there are some notable improvements here. Vivo upgraded the SoC, boosted charging speed, and more. Let’s focus on the most notable improvements first, shall we? The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 replaces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1....

The official Vivo X90 series camera samples are here, and they look stunning The sensor in question is the Sony IMX989, the same one that Xiaomi used in the 12S Ultra. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the only smartphone that uses that sensor, at the moment. That device, however, did not arrive to global markets, unfortunately. The Vivo X90 series will, even though it will launch in China first, almost certainly....

We’re all used to different variants of the same device, but Realme really took it to the next level. With tomorrow’s launch, there will be five different variants of the Realme 10 phones.

WhatsApp Business users can already create unique links that take people to their WhatsApp accounts. But with Premium, the links would follow the “wa.me/” format. These kinds of links would be ideal to include on your website or share on social media as they include your business name. It’d instill more trust in users to click or tap on the link. According to the new report, WhatsApp will allow businesses to change their custom links every 90 days....

The company said that it plans to limit the volume of ads to an average of four minutes per hour with this new plan. That’s almost half as much as Hulu now, which is about 7.4 minutes per hour. That’s definitely good news, as ads on Hulu have gotten a bit out of hand. Disney+ still hasn’t mentioned how much it’ll cost While Disney+ is mentioning how many ads you’ll see within an hour, and that ads won’t be shown to preschoolers, it has not yet mentioned a price for this new tier yet....

Of course, one thing to keep in mind is that not all retailers are being impacted by the stock problems. Xbox controllers are in short supply mostly internationally According to the report controller stock seems to be more of a problem in Europe and the UK, as well as some other global regions, than in the US. And mostly at major retailers. VGC reports that it’s going for £93.99 through third-party sellers in the UK which is almost twice as much as it usually costs....

This phone is codenamed “Psyche”, and one would assume it would be called the Xiaomi 12 SE or 12 Mini.

This tablet is essentially a larger variant of the Xiaomi Pad 5 which launched a while back. That model did launch globally, which gives us hope for the ‘Pro’ variant as well. The design is exactly what you’d expect. Xiaomi used metal and glass here, while the sides are completely flat....

In fact it would make even less sense for Google to remove the wireless charging feature for the Pixel 7 series than to leave it in. Although brands do leave out wireless charging often, Google has added it in most of its phones over the last few years. Save for the A series devices like the 4a, 4a 5G, and 5a. And at the price Google charges for its Pixel flagships, not adding wireless charging seems like it would be a bad move....
