The new Galaxy S21 Ultra is truly worthy of the Ultra moniker, but it’ll cost you dearly.

TL;DR
Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra owners in the UK can now access the One UI 4 beta. The beta program allows you to test out Android 12 before it becomes stable later this year. Samsung will also enroll Galaxy S20 phones soon. Samsung did not confirm when, but it is very likely support for other countries will land soon. That would include China, Germany, India, South Korea, and the United States.
5G has been around for a couple of years now, with plenty of networks around the world and even budget phones offering the new connectivity standard. In fact, it’s probably easier to note the countries which don’t have 5G, such as India.
Nevertheless, we do wonder whether there are any readers out there who disable 5G on their phones. Do you leave 5G on all the time, do you turn it off now and again, or do you permanently disable it?
Wine is a lot different from other alcoholic beverages. There’s a whole culture around it where people sample expensive wines, review the taste, and even collect bottles of it. It’s one of humanity’s oldest beverages. Even so, it’s a rather niche topic when it comes to mobile apps. There aren’t a lot of apps for wine fans out there, but luckily a few developers stepped up and made some good ones.
With all of the things that Tasker is capable of, our work last week to ensure that you never miss an alarm was a pretty light-weight task. This week, we promised to show you how to create your own sleep mode by creating a Tasker Task and Profile that turns off your ringers at night and back on again in the morning.
The automated sleep mode is, again, a fairly light-weight use of Tasker, but I know people who have installed Tasker for this task, and no other.
Amazfit Zepp ZZepp's sophomore smartwatch release builds on the strengths of the first. It's a gorgeous timepiece with absolutely insane battery life. It nails all the essentials and even has some premium features, such as wireless charging and built-in GPS. However, just as with its predecessor, the health tracking is unreliable, there are no third-party apps, and its price is too high for what you get (and what you don't). Once again, Zepp has made a smartwatch that will only be useful to people who care about looks and battery life over everything else.

What is the Amazon Echo Dot exactly? You’ve probably seen it in a commercial or maybe at the store, but why would you buy this little guy when the Echo Dot or Google Home have bigger, fuller sound? Good question. That’s exactly what we aim to address in this post. Keep in mind that while this does serve as an Amazon Echo Dot review of sorts, we aren’t going to stick to traditional formatting.

Want to be an Android app developer but don’t know how to code? Don’t have the inclination to learn?
Don’t worry, there are still plenty of options out there for you. Android app makers are tools created specifically for those people who want to build and release an app on the Play Store (and possibly other app stores, ssh!) but don’t want to get involved with learning Java or Objective-C. These Android app creators are largely drag-and-drop affairs.
We’re human, so we lose things. But gone are the days of spending all afternoon hunting for a smartphone meekly hiding beneath a couch cushion. Thankfully, if you own a smartphone, there’s a good chance it features a find my phone function. This is true for Garmin watches, too.
QUICK ANSWER
Activate Find My Phone by bringing up your Garmin watch's controls menu, and selecting the Find My Phone icon. Wait until your smartphone sounds an alert.
