Having said that, these two phones are similar to a degree. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 does bring some notable benefits, though. One that is worth noting from the get-go is the larger cover display, but that’s just the obvious one. Down below, we’ll talk more about the differences. We’ll start things off by comparing their specifications, and will then move to the design, display, performance, battery, camera, and audio categories....

Users are reporting spontaneous Pixel 6 and 6 Pro screen cracks Users have been reporting screen cracks on the two devices for a while now.

The Pixel 7 & 7a devices could offer “higher quality” Bluetooth audio Before getting further into Bluetooth LE Audio, what makes us think it’s coming to those three phones? Well, a discussion between Googlers, as 9to5Google spotted....

When Google released the Pixel Buds Pro earlier this year, they were available in 12 countries — Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, the UK, and the US. But as noted by 9to5Google, not all of them got all four color options. This expansion of availability also sees some of those markets getting more colorways for the buds. We aren’t getting any new color options, though....

Build quality When it comes to a controller, the build quality is one of the most important aspects. You want to make sure that it’s going to last you for a while.

And that’s because it’s a Razer limited edition version of the Gen 6. A watch that Fossil launched in 2021. While this is still a Gen 6 at its core, the outside has familiar Razer stylings. For the most part it’s still recognizable as a Gen 6. But it does come with some unique details that a regular Gen 6 will not. Like Razer-branded straps that come in black and green....

As the verbiage here suggests, a rebuild effectively builds back your console’s database. And it does so while reorganizing things and getting rid of things that aren’t needed. So, depending on your usage, your mileage may vary and so will exactly how long this process takes. But it’s well worth doing. Of course, while it’s easy enough to recommend a complete database rebuild for your PS4 to speed things up and keep it going a bit longer, it isn’t necessarily the easiest thing to do....

The web has connected people, work, and learning… but to be productive, one must “disconnect” and focus, a skill many are having serious trouble with. Perhaps another tool can help. Workers and students are turning to blocking apps as they provide freedom through restriction. That may sound like some faux mystical ‘wisdom’ but the logic is sound. When you know you don’t can’t do anything but study or work, it’s liberating....

Silicon anodes are preferable over graphite anodes thanks to their higher (10X) energy density. However, silicon anodes have a tendency to degrade fairly quickly with the regular operation of a battery. This is particularly the case when silicon anodes are coupled with liquid electrolytes. On the other hand, solid-state batteries that use solid electrolytes in place of liquid also encounter problems. This is because such batteries use metallic lithium anodes which require storage at temperatures of up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit....

For starters, the ISOCELL HP3 is smaller than the first-gen 200MP camera from Samsung. Its 200 million pixels have a footprint of 0.56-micrometer (μm) each, down from 0.64μm. The company says this is the industry’s smallest pixel size yet. For Samsung, this allowed the company to pack all pixels in a 1/1.4-inch optical format, which is over 12 percent smaller than the 1/1.22-inch diameter of the original sensor. For device manufacturers, it will result in around a 20 percent reduction in the surface area covered by the camera....

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 includes some complex parts and components, such as the hinge The revelation comes from winfuture.de’s Roland Quandt (via SamMobile), who is usually reliable on pre-release information. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Samsung is officially commencing the mass production of parts/components required for its upcoming flagship, considering that we’re just a few months away from its arrival. Unfortunately, there’s no precise information on what components or parts are going into mass production....

When the device launched, Samsung promised 3 years of security updates and ultimately an update to Android 13. Via a promise to update the OS itself for at least three years. With this latest news, those updates won’t necessarily be arriving in a timely manner. Or, at the very least, not as timely. How did Samsung change its update plans for the Galaxy A series? More directly, Samsung now says that its plan to update the 4G Samsung Galaxy A51 — unlike some other series gadgets — will only mean updates twice per year on the security front....
