Facebook and Instagram inject code using their in-app browsers This was discovered by Felix Krause, and it gives us some insight into what two of the biggest social media platforms are doing. Whenever you tap on a link in Facebook or Instagram, they open a custom-built in-app browser to display that link.

Taiwanese chip giant TSMC will reportedly manufacture the upcoming MediaTek chipset. Compared to the previous generation SoCs, i.e. those based on 5nm processes, TSMC’s 3nm chipsets will have 1.7 times higher logic density and will bring about an 11 percent improvement in performance....

Galaxy A13 5G: leaked specifications and design The leaked renders reveal that the Galaxy A13 5G will sport a triple camera setup at the back. It’s a combination of a 50-megapixel (f/2.0) primary camera, a 5-megapixel (f/2.2) ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel (f/2.4) depth sensor. There’s no camera bump on this phone.

Launched in August 2018, the Galaxy Note 9 received monthly security updates until last year. As expected, Samsung then dropped it to quarterly updates. And a year later, the company has completely lifted support for it. But the phone may still pick up some surprise security updates a few months down the line. Samsung tends to do that. But remember that the Galaxy Note 9 is no longer eligible for official support from the company....

It will boast a standard brightness level of 1,200 nits. Interestingly, the Galaxy S22+ will also offer the same levels of standard and peak rightness as the Galaxy S22 Ultra....

The extreme fold test was live streamed on YouTube and ran from June 8 to June 13. Even though the hinge stopped working properly after such torture, the device itself didn’t break down. It was in perfect working condition at the end too. The touchscreen worked fine, and so did the cameras and speakers. That’s despite the clamshell foldable being submerged in water and covered in dirt and dust as part of this durability test....
