The Galaxy S22 & S22 Ultra renders shows us the two device from almost all angles You can check that image out below this paragraph. It shows the phone from almost all sides. In addition to that, you get to take a look at the phone’s S Pen stylus, all in one image. This design has been expected, as it surfaced before. The only thing we weren’t sure about is the design of the back side, when it comes to the phone’s camera....
The revelation comes from Jon Prosser on Twitter, who has already revealed plenty of information about Samsung’s early 2022 flagship. He claims that the pre-order for the Galaxy S22 will now commence on February 9, 2022, while availability is delayed by a week to February 25, 2022. It’s worth noting that Prosser is citing unnamed “sources” here, so we don’t have official confirmation yet. Older reports said that the Galaxy S22 lineup would go up for pre-order on February 8....
The Galaxy S22 Ultra my offer 45W charging despite China’s 3C authority info That information came from 3C authority, though it’s not necessarily always accurate. A well-known tipster, Ice Universe, claims that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will offer 45W charging. He’s referring to wired charging, of course. In addition to that, the tipster also mentioned that the device will include a 5,000mAh battery. In case you’re wondering how fast will that charging actually be, in practice, it will be able to charge up that battery up to 70-percent in only 35 minutes....
Galaxy Z Flip 4 teardown The Galaxy Z Flip 4 features a glass back. Either half of the rear panel can be removed fairly easily with the help of some heat and a pry tool. The upper portion has a cable attached to it, connecting the external display with the motherboard. Samsung has used a graphene layer on the back panels to help dissipate heat from the battery. Once the rear covering is gone, you’ll immediately notice that the hinge area is smaller on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 than on the Flip 3....
Garmin released the last Vivosmart fitness tracker, the fourth iteration, back in 2018. With this newest iteration, Garmin keeps the overall design aesthetic the same with the small display and body encased in a silicone shell. The top of the watchband is similarly textured, as well. So, what does the Garmin Vivosmart 5 fitness tracker bring to the table? The main visual difference between this iteration and the last one is the display....

Microsoft had already shown ads on the app for free users, but it was only for one specific view. You’d see these ads in the “Other” inbox in the tabbed view. Basically, if you didn’t want to see ads, all you had to do was use the Single view of the app. But, Microsoft will show more ads on Outlook regardless According to The Verge, that trick won’t work anymore....
Glass on the Pixel 7 rear camera bar seems to be shattering for some users Folks over at Phone Arena hand-picked some examples from Reddit and Twitter, as there seem to be quite a few of them. A Twitter user Heydon Faber (@CSThrowaway) shared a photo that shows the damage on his Pixel 7 (shown below). In addition to the phone, he said the following: “Not even a month, no drops just regular use....
Gmail on the web originally had a rather unorganized left column for accessing Mail, Chat, Rooms, and Meet. Google announced a redesign for a cleaner look in January this year. The changes started rolling out a couple of weeks later. It added a new navigation rail to the left end of the screen, introducing separate buttons for Mail, Chat, Spaces, and Meet. A collapsible panel next to this rail housed Gmail folders and labels....
This comes on the heels of a report claiming that Google is violating the Biometric Information Privacy Act over using the face regrouping tool in the Google Photos app. As per the lawsuit details, Google has used this tool to sort faces in the pictures taken by users. However, the company did this without the user’s permission. Illinois residents who appeared in a photo on the app between May 1, 2015, and April 25, 2022, can now try their luck at getting a portion of this $100 million class-action settlement....
What is Client-Side Encryption (CSE)? Client-side encryption involves encrypting data on the client side (i.e., on the user’s device) before it is sent to the server. Therefore, by encrypting the data on the user’s device before it leaves, CSE makes it much harder for anyone to intercept and read the contents of the email. Google allows users to keep control over their encryption keys and the identity service to access those keys....
What is Project Starline? This is the company’s interesting and very expensive way of making video calls more personal. Instead of watching a person on a flat screen, the company wants to go the extra mile. When you sit in a booth, you’ll be scanned by multiple cameras. These cameras track your head movements, body movements, and eye movements. Then, this information is processed and sent to another person with another booth....
Omnibox is the search and URL bar that you see at the top of Chrome on Android. It has been around since the initial launch of the browser back in 2008. The single field lets you make searches on the internet or enter URLs to visit a website. Google has improved its functionality over the years with new features, but Omnibox hasn’t seen many design changes. A rare redesign is now in the works, with the company looking to “modernize” it a bit....

A ceramic Pixel smartphone may be in the cards for Google The tipster went to Weibo to reveal that Foxconn will manufacture two upcoming Pixel phones. The devices in question are a “Pixel flagship”, and the company’s foldable. This is a bit weird, though. Google relocated manufacturing to Vietnam, so we expected both the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro to be manufactured there. The company either changed its mind, or this is the third Pixel flagship, the Pixel 7 Ultra, or something of the sort....
Google Meet has long offered the ability to switch between multiple accounts. This enables users to disconnect from their work and switch focus to their personal life after work hours. They can use the same app to video call with friends and family but via a different account. Google recently merged Meet with Duo, its almost forgotten video calling app. An identical feature is now rolling out to the new unified app as well....
