WhatsApp is 'leveling up' your group chats today with three new features. With Member tags, you can give yourself a tag to tell the group what your role is. This can be different for each group you're in. Next up, text stickers. Any word can now be turned into a sticker by simply typing your text into Sticker Search. Newly created stickers can also be added directly to your sticker packs instead of having to send them in a chat first. Finally, event reminders are rather self-explanatory. When you create and send an event in a group chat, you can set custom early reminders for those...
A new Samsung patent gives us our first look at a flip-style foldable, which folds both inward and outward. The patent was spotted on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) database and is accompanied by sketches for the flip-style device with a 360-degree hinge. Unlike mainstream flip-style folds, the device in the patent listing does not have a dedicated cover screen. The sketches show that the folding screen can fold outward, wrapping around the back of the device, but it can also fold inward. This approach would require a complex hinge mechanism that would support...

Dreame has introduced its first action camera and it is called the Leaptic Cube. It’s a split design with a small camera module that detaches from the main body, which shows a live preview on its 2.27” display from around 30m/100ft away. The advantage of this design – besides the built-in remote control functionality – is that you can flip the camera around for vlog-style videos. If this design looks familiar, you are probably thinking of the DJI Osmo Nano. The Insta360 Go Ultra is another petite action camera (that one relies on a flip-up display for vlogs). Like its competition,...

This is for the launch in China – unfortunately, there are no details on whether this phone will be released in other countries and which ones.

Otherwise, the phone had the same 6.32” display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and dual 50MP...
