Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 rumored to use the same main camera

Innovating in the smartphone realm yearly has never been an easy task. Arguably, it's still harder to redesign a modern foldable's internals and complex hinge mechanisms. Rumors have now started to creep up about Samsung's next Z Fold6 phone.

Don't expect much change in Galaxy Z Fold6. At least we can be sure of the camera. It is the same as Fold4 and Fold5, that's for sure.— ICE UNIVERSE (@UniverseIce) October 19, 2023

According to industry insider ICE UNIVERSE, we need to taper our expectations regarding the main camera of the Z Fold6. Apparently, Samsung will be reusing the 50MP...

WhatsApp rolls out multiple accounts support on Android for all

WhatsApp already lets you use the same account on multiple smartphones, but now you can use two different accounts on the same smartphone if it's running Android. This feature - which Telegram had for years - was available for WhatsApp's beta users for some time, but it's only now rolling out to the stable channel.

Having the ability to run two different WhatsApp accounts at the same time on the same smartphone will eliminate the need for users to carry two smartphones or use the app clone feature.

How to set up multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same phone?

OnePlus Open's Indian price and sale date revealed

OnePlus has already officially confirmed the announcement date for its first foldable, October 19, while the leaksters took care of the rest by showing us the design and specs of the OnePlus Open. At this point, there's nothing left to the imagination except pricing.

Today's report is about the Indian launch and Abhishek Yadav believes the device will be released on October 27 with a price tag of INR 139,999 (~$1,680). That's a hefty price, but it's also not a big surprise, given that foldables still charge a price premium.

The price doesn't seem all that different from the leaked...

UK regulator clears Microsoft takeover of Activision Blizzard

Back in January of 2022, Microsoft announced its plans to acquire Activation Blizzard in a transaction valued at $68.7 billion – the largest deal in the gaming industry. The deal didn’t exactly go as planned with regulators from the US, the EU and the UK objecting to the takeover. Microsoft managed to win a court injunction in the US and later received approval from the EU regulators which left the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) as the only major hurdle against the deal.

Well, that hurdle has now been cleared as the CMA has given the green light on the deal.

The key...

Samsung's Q3 results beat expectations, chip slump easing off

Samsung released its preliminary Q3 results, highlighted by a smaller-than-expected profit drop of 78%. Samsung's operating profit for the months of July through September was 2.4 trillion won ($1.79b) - down sharply from the 10.85 trillion won of the same period in 2023. The reasons behind the yearly slump are a slowing global economy and greatly reduced chip demand.

However, Samsung's profit in Q3 was considerably more than the 640 billion won first quarter (the lowest since 2009), and the 670 billion won second quarter. Samsung's 2.4 trillion won operating profit beat the 2.1 trillion...

OneUI 6.1 and Galaxy S24 series to double down on AI

Samsung unveiled the Exynos 2400 chipset with a 14.7x boost in AI performance and we expect to see the platform debut with the Galaxy S24 series.

Flashback: Samsung's Galaxy S minis were small but hardly deserving of the S-branding

Mini phones are on our mind again – when are they not? – but the most recent memory to surface is just another confirmation that the market doesn’t actually want such devices.

Specifically, we want to talk about the Samsung Galaxy S III mini and its ilk. The first one came out in October 2012, about half a year after the big S III. We find it a bit funny that this “mini” phone has the same display as the original Galaxy S, which was just over two years old at this point. Both had a 4.0” Super AMOLED panel with 480 x 800px resolution (15:9). This was 30% smaller (in terms of surface area)...
