A report from a Korean outlet News AND suggests that Apple and Samsung are both making efforts to achieve blood sugar monitoring in their upcoming smartwatch models. The report focuses primarily on Samsung, which is expected to announce three wearable devices at the company’s second Unpacked event of the year. In the second half of 2021, Samsung’s wearable devices could be announced alongside its new line of foldable phones. The blood level function would come either to the “Galaxy Watch 4” or to the “Galaxy Watch Active3”. Both are tentative names as Samsung has yet to confirm the name of…

introduction This year the Galaxy S21 series arrived earlier than expected and made a lot of changes. The Galaxy S21 and S21 + now have lower resolution OLEDs, no microSD expansion, and no charger in the box. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is what the original Ultra should have been – stuffed with high-end features, no asterisks, no fine print. Still no charger, however. The original S20 Ultra was supposed to be the largest Galaxy to date, but it failed. You can enjoy 120Hz refresh rate, but only at lower resolution of 1080p. Telephoto was advertised as 5x, but it…

The firmware of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 was discovered in the Zepp app (formerly Amazfit), which revealed the main upgrades compared to the current band 5. As usual there are two versions – one for the China (XMSH16HM, with NFC) and one for the world market (XMSH15HM, probably without NFC). The new group will feature a built-in GPS receiver, which will provide accurate speed and distance data for your workouts (the screen is way too small for navigation). For faster positioning, the phone APP will send A-GPS data to the bracelet. The new bracelet will feature a SpO2…

The One UI 3.0 update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7 + started rolling out last week. Along with other improvements, this update dramatically changes the way slates interact with your other devices – your phone, laptop, and even headphones. The update allows you to easily copy and paste text and images between your tablet and phone. And if you have a Book Cover connected to your tablet, you can use it to quickly enter text on your phone. The Continue apps automatically sync Samsung Notes between the tablet and your phone. The tabs that you have…

Netflix is ​​rolling out an update to the Android version of its app that promises to bring “studio quality” sound to your everyday TV or movie watching experience. The company is moving to xHE-AAC or Extended High Efficiency AAC, which is a newer HE-AAC version that the company has been using so far. It was introduced in 2012 by Fraunhofer IIS and was primarily designed for use in online streaming and broadcasting services due to its high compression rate and high efficiency, with bitrates as low as 6 kbps for the mono and 12 kbps for stereo, up to 500…

Apple has updated a support document for the iPhone 12 line, indicating that they can cause electromagnetic interference with medical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. The company added that the iPhone and all Magsafe accessories should stay at least six inches (about 15 centimeters) from medical devices, or twice the distance if the devices are charging wirelessly. Apple pointed out that all accessories (the MagSafe and MagSafe duo) contain radios and their magnets and electromagnetic fields can interfere with the devices. While the iPhone 12 models contain more magnets than any other Apple smartphone, there’s no greater risk -…

In mid-October Reuters reported that Huawei is negotiating the sale of the Honor brand. This was denied at the time, but ultimately turned out to be correct. Now Reuters says Huawei is negotiating the sale of the flagship P and Mate series. In response, Huawei officials released a statement to Chinese media that the company has no plans to sell its mobile phone business and will continue to build high-end phones. The statement does not, however, detail how this will happen. Currently, the company has no source of chipsets for its flagship models – HiSilicon is excluded from TSMC fabs,…

Motorola will launch the Edge S tomorrow – the first phone with the Snapdragon 870. We’ve seen actual footage of the Motorola Edge S before, but now a teaser has confirmed the look of the rear panel – four shooters, lined up in a square formation.  The image also shows the launch date of January 26, but this has already been made official by the company itself. We also know that the event will start at 7:30 p.m. local time, either GMT +8 or 11:30 UTC. The Edge S is expected to bring a 6.7-inch display with Full HD +…

After the Samsung Galaxy S21 and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra teardown videos, the third phone in the family received the same treatment – here’s the teardown Galaxy S21 +. Taking the phone apart, YouTuber PBKreivews discovered the distinction between single and dual SIM models. It’s mostly in software – all Samsung Galaxy S21 models have two SIM readers, but in single SIM versions one of them is disabled. It may be possible to flash different firmware to activate the second drive. You will also need a new SIM tray, which can hold two SIM cards. The Galaxy S21 + in…

Less than a year ago, Huawei became the world’s largest smartphone maker. Now his rise to power was halted and he had to sell the Honor brand to keep it alive. Reuters now reports that the company is also in talks to sell the flagship Huawei P and Mate series to a Shanghai government-backed consortium. The discussion has been going on for months, say two anonymous insiders, but no final decision has yet been made. The company still hopes to be able to replace foreign component suppliers with domestic ones, which will allow it to continue producing phones. The Mate…
