The goal overall seems to be to ensure that Discord performs the same across platforms. And although it mostly functions the same on Android as it does on PC, there are noticeable differences. Namely with the bigger features, which tend to release first on PC and iOS. Discord’s commitment to improving the experience for the Android portion of users will change all that. Starting now. The improved Android experience for Discord will arrive in the coming weeks Android users won’t immediately notice these changes as they won’t be implemented today, but they aren’t far off....

The Galaxy S23 won’t include an under-display camera, it seems It seems like the entire Galaxy S23 series will once again utilize a hole punch. The tipster actually got information from South Korean parts makers, and everything points out to a hole punch. Some people would certainly prefer an under-display camera, despite its shortcomings. Others would like to put up with a hole punch, if that means that they’ll get better selfies....

Moreover, the new devices promised to be the best ever. Not only in terms of design and build quality but also in terms of features. Now, it is worth pointing out from the start that the unit I received was the finished product, now shipping to customers. But I installed and integrated it into my smart home using a beta test version of the app. In fact, that’s a not-insignificant part of why this thermostat earned our highest marks....

DxoMark tested the camera performance of both Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200-powered Galaxy S22 Ultra. The firm awarded 131 points to both variants. However, it noted that shots don’t always come out the same. There’s no one clear winner though. The differences vary. The Snapdragon variant captures better shots sometimes, while the Exynos variant comes out on top some other times. According to DxoMark’s report, the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S22 Ultra produces less noise than the Exynos variant in still photos....

The Share button was on the bottom of the Files by Google app, and it gave you quick access to send your files off. Understandably, the company got rid of the button. It wouldn’t make much sense to keep a dedicated button when you can tap and hold on a file. When you do that, you’ll have the option to share it. Regardless, the Share button is back in the Files by Google app When it comes to smartphone operating systems, we’re all used to there being multiple ways to do one thing....

The Galaxy S22 Ultra tempered glass screen protector is curved on the sides If you take a look at the images provided below the article, you’ll notice that this screen protector is curved on the sides. This goes in line with all the leaks we’ve seen, pretty much, as the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a curved display. You can also see the curve radius here, pretty much. The display will be curved, but this won’t be the waterfall display-like curve, as was the case on some phones out there....

The listing shows that the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ were tested using the EP-TA800 wall charger that provides up to 25W fast wired charging (via). However, that doesn’t necessarily indicate the charging speed of the upcoming Samsung flagships. The Galaxy S23 Ultra was last week listed with the same 25W charger. But we are expecting it to offer up to 45W charging speeds. That’s because the Galaxy S22 Ultra boasts 45W charging....

Sensor-shift works differently from the traditional OIS (optical image stabilization) found on the current crop of Samsung smartphones. As you might have guessed, this tech makes the image sensor move to counter phone movements while shooting. OIS relies on lens movement for stabilization. The former is often regarded as superior stabilization tech for smartphones, though it is arguable. Apple debuted sensor-shift stabilization on the iPhone 12 Pro Max a couple of years back....

At first glance, the Tab S8 appears almost identical to the Tab S7. It features rounded corners with flat edges and has similar-sized bezels around the display. The positioning of the physical buttons and ports is also unchanged. The only notable design difference is the location of the S Pen magnetic strip on the back. The S Pen holder doesn’t extend from the rear camera module on the new tablet....

The front-facing camera is a 10-megapixel sensor with an f/2.4 aperture on both phones. But it turns out those aren’t the same sensors, at least not all of them. Max Weinbach of Android Police has discovered that while the specs match, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Z Flip 5G are using different camera sensors on the back....
