Image
  The   Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3   clamshell is the second foldable phone to debut at today's unpacked event. It comes with a new design and improvements to both screens, plus an official IPX8 rating for water resistance, much like the   Galaxy Z Fold3   that shared the stage with it. For starters, the Flip3 has a much larger cover display - 1.9” Super AMOLED with a 260x512 resolution . That enables easier checking and interaction with notifications and support for more apps without opening the phone. The big foldable panel on the inside has also slightly improved - it remains a 6.7” Dynamic AMOLED with Full HD+ resolution but now has a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The dual camera next to the cover screen is now lined up vertically, with the L ED flash below them in the differently coloured part of the panel. The dual shooter includes a 12MP f/1.8 main camera with 1.4µm pixels, Dual Pixel AF and OIS, as well a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle cam, which means it's ide...

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 bring ANC in a lightweight body

  Alongside its new foldable flagships, Samsung announced the Galaxy Buds2 - its lightest TWS earphones to date. They bring a new design and active noise cancellation enabled by the three microphones per bud. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 arrive with a dynamic two-way speaker. It is split into a woofer and a tweeter, promising clear high notes and deep atmospheric lows. Samsung trimmed the weight to 5.0 grams per bud , with the case adding just 41.2 grams more to the total weight. The trio of microphones, placed in each bud, is responsible for the active noise cancellation when listening to musing as well as providing “impressive call quality”.  A dedicated Voice pickup unit (VPU ) helps filter in only your voice to the other party and not external noises. The Active Noise Cancellation can block up to 98% of noise, Samsung claims. The company also worked on the Ambient Modes for those cases when you actually want to hear what's going on around you. The earphones come with machine ...

Galaxy Z Fold3 5G

  As expected, Samsung introduced its foldable flagship  Galaxy Z Fold3  at its Unpacked event. The third generation Fold brings an IPX8 rating for water resistance and support for the S Pen alongside durability, display and performance enhancements. The Galaxy Z Fold3 carries over 7.6” Dynamic AMOLED 2X with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate from its predecessor, but now the selfie camera has made its way under the display, instead of being behind a punch hole, making the Z Fold3 the first Samsung phone with a UD camera. The sensor of this UDC solution has just 4MP resolution but also has the largest 2.0µm pixels of all cameras on board and f/1.8 aperture . Its intended use is mostly video calls as you get another 10MP f/2.2 selfie shooter in a punch hole on the cover screen, and you can, of course, also take selfies with the main camera on the Fold3. Speaking of the cover screen - it has retained its 6.2" diagonal and Gorilla Glass Victus protection but has now also gaine...
