Samsung seeds Android 13 to Galaxy M53, S10 Lite as Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 rollout reaches the US

It seems like a big Monday for some Samsung owners. The company is now seeding the latest One UI 5.0 software based on Android 13 to a number of Galaxy phones - the Galaxy M53, Galaxy S10 Lite and the US versions of the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Z Fold3. Perhaps the Galaxy S10 Lite is the biggest surprise here. It's almost three years old at this point and it gets Android 13 pretty early, so kudos to Samsung. However, the sad news is that this is the final major update for the S10 Lite - still pretty solid longevity for the mid-ranger. Interestingly enough the S10, S10+ and S10e would have...

However, Musk has announced that Twitter will "tentatively" launch Verified on December 2 and manually authenticate all verified accounts before the check activates. Manually authenticating verified accounts is definitely a good idea because after Musk's takeover of Twitter, the company started offering the blue check marks to eligible Twitter Blue subscribers as well without actually verifying identities, which led to verified accounts...

Tecno unveils Eagle Eye Lens - the first dual prism tele camera that automatically tracks objects

Typical telephoto cameras have Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) because optical magnification also multiplies handshake. This works well for static objects, but you still have to track moving objects manually – and that tends to amplify handshake. Tecno now claims to have come up with a solution, a system of two prism instead of one (it’s the first of its kind). Each prism can rotate along one axis – one can do +/-8°, the other +/-10°. With the two prisms combined the camera is able to automatically track an object – by as much as +/-16° on one axis and +/-20° on the other, according to...
