Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G were first announced at the August 2020 Unpacked event. However, before that event, the official wallpapers for both Samsung’s tablet and its foldable phone were released. SamMobile has the Tab S7’s wallpapers available for download, while XDA forum member yakapa40 has extracted the Galaxy Z Flip 5G wallpapers.
The Tab S7’s wallpapers are reminiscent of the organic, multicolored imagery from the Galaxy S20 series.
June 23, 1:40AM: Updated with OnePlus statement.
The dual camera of the OnePlus 5 is one of the phone’s top selling points, so much so that OnePlus built its marketing campaign around the tagline “Dual Camera. Clearer photos.”
Having two lenses working together – a “normal” wide-angle one and a telephoto one – allowed OnePlus to add several cool features, including Portrait mode and a high-quality zoom feature. As usual though, the devil is in the details.
Error handling, also called exception handling, is a big part of Java, but it’s also one of the more divisive elements. Exception handling allows a developer to anticipate problems that may arise in their code to prevent them from causing issues for users down the line. The reason this can become a nuisance is that some methods in Java will actually force the user to handle exceptions. This is where “try catch” in Java comes into play.

Samsung has revealed trade-in values for older Samsung devices when buying the S22 series. The company is offering the best trade-in values for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy S22 series, and the flagship phones are looking like pretty interesting propositions. The company has long offered trade-in programs, and the S22 series is no exception. So here’s how much of a discount you can expect if you trade in your old Samsung phone.
TL;DR
A 25W Samsung wireless charger was just spotted at the FCC. No current Samsung phones are capable of wirelessly charging at 25W. Could this product’s existence signal fast wireless charging for the Galaxy S22 series? Wireless charging is a cool perk. It’s usually slower than wired charging, but not needing to fumble with a cable sure is nice. Some companies, though, are making wireless charging faster, such as OnePlus, which offers 50W speeds with the OnePlus 9 Pro (combined with its proprietary charging stand).
The LG V40 provides all the quality of the G7, but is weighed down by its unreasonably expensive price tag and terrible battery life. Table of contents

LG’s V-series has always been about doing it all. Last year’s LG V30 boasted one of the most feature-packed cameras of all time in a mobile device, and the Quad DAC audio solution was a treat for music lovers.
ZTE ZMAX ProYou might think a $100 smartphone won't deliver much but with the ZTE Z Max Pro, you'd be surprised at just how much smartphone you get for your money. There's definitely compromises and you have to be on MetroPCS to enjoy it but this is certainly a smartphone worth another look if your budget is tight.

Owning a phone doesn’t mean having to endure a costly investment.
A few Samsung Galaxy owners have noticed a little hack that could improve in-display fingerprint scanner unlock speeds. It first surfaced on XDA Developers’ forums, and several users swear their fingerprint scanner is much faster while others haven’t noticed much of a difference. It allegedly works on handsets like the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, and Galaxy Note 10 lineups.
But if you are willing to take the risk, it only takes a few steps.

TL;DR
References to a split keyboard layout have reportedly been found in Gboard. This would be a major addition for foldable and tablet devices. Gboard has been around for ages now, offering features like swipe typing, emoji/GIF search, one-handed mode, and theme support. One feature that’s been missing for a long time is a split layout though, being handy for tablets and foldables (or for those using their phones in landscape mode).

Google has confirmed a crucial detail related to the Google Pixel 6a fingerprint scanner. The in-display fingerprint sensor is not the same as the controversial system in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Unfortunately, we don’t yet know if the unlocking experience on the Pixel 6a will be better or worse. However, pretty much every reviewer around the web agreed that the worst part of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro was the fingerprint scanner.
