Progress always marches on. Samsung has shown this concept itself time and time again. Every year since 2010, Samsung has treated us to a new Galaxy S phone. In 2021, that killer device is the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. You can find out how much we liked it in our full review.
The S21’s release had us thinking about last year’s flagship from Samsung, the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

In our reviews, we’ve already established that neither the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 nor the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the world’s best camera phone. With primarily 12MP shooters, Samsung’s foldables take average shots but don’t necessarily compare to the top camera phones in the market, such as the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and its 108MP sensor. But how do the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 cameras fare when pitted directly against one another?
TL;DR
Samsung shot a 200MP image with its upcoming sensor. It then printed the image on a 616 square meter-sized canvas. We’ve known about Samsung’s 200MP sensor for a while now, but one has not appeared on a smartphone so far. While rumor has it that a Motorola phone will soon come baked with the world’s highest-resolution camera, Samsung has now given us a first look at the imaging results of the sensor.

There’s not much worse than misplacing your keys or your wallet when you’re trying to hurry out the door. We’ve all been there, and it can be a frantic few minutes.
Apple TV Plus
A lot of ambitious sci-fi is heading to Apple TV Plus. With season two of See currently underway and upcoming projects like Isaac Asimov’s Foundation and the Tom Hanks–starring dystopian future feature film Finch, 2021 is full of big projects for the Apple streamer. And now you can add Invasion to that impressive list.
The alien invasion series is set against a global backdrop, and with a massive budget and stunning visual effects, it’s likely to be a big hit when it premieres later this year.
Smartphone cameras have improved dramatically in the last few years, owing to better sensors and smarter image processing. Heck, the multi-camera revolution has also yielded better zoom and depth-of-field effects hitherto unknown to smartphone photography.
Nevertheless, having a great camera is only part of the battle. The rest is up to the photographer holding it, so we take a look at a few smartphone photography tips you should know.
Take a ton of photos…Back in 2014, I managed to attend a mobile photography workshop by NatGeo’s Stephen Alvarez.
Amazon Fire TV Stick LiteThe Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite is a basic streaming stick that makes a good solution for your secondary TVs, such as an older set in a bedroom, basement, or den. As long as you don't expect more than the basics, you'll be pleased with its performance for the price.
Streaming sticks from the likes of Amazon, Google, and Roku are a dime a dozen. With so many in the market, finding the right one can be a bit of a chore.
Elecjet 45W USB-C Super Fast ChargerThe Elecjet 45W USB-C plug is one of the few products that can fast charge Samsung's finicky Galaxy S21 series and the 45W capable Galaxy S20 Ultra. At $25, it's more affordable than equivalent Apple and Samsung accessories and can power much more than smartphones.
There are subtle differences between good and the best phone charging accessories. All too often, this difference boils down to lesser understood charging specifications and other little touches.
Google is well-known for joining in on the April Fool’s Day fun, with past gags including Google Maps for NES, Google Voice for Pets, and toilet-based internet connectivity.
The company has made at least four announcements today to mark the occasion, and there’s no mistaking most of them for the real deal. We take a look at all of these ridiculous reveals.
Snake in Google Maps The first announcement is actually the only legitimate one on the list, as Google is allowing Maps users to play Snake on the service.
