A rumor suggests the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 cameras could be much better than last year’s model. Specifically, the telephoto and selfie cameras could be borrowed from the Galaxy S22 series. The just-OK camera system on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 was a major sticking point, so this is good news. However, even with those high costs, the camera systems on the Galaxy Z Fold line haven’t been much to write home about.

The OnePlus 10 Pro features a hardy Gorilla Glass Victus finish on the front, but we all know it’s just a matter of time before that shiny new screen gets a few scratches — or worse, a full-blown crack. If you really want to keep your new phone safe, you’ll need to invest in a screen protector. Lucky for you, we’ve done the leg work and picked out the best OnePlus 10 Pro screen protectors you can currently buy.
Update (01/24): Vivo has officially announced the first phone with an under-glass fingerprint sensor.
The Vivo X20 Plus UD, as mentioned in the original article below, is simply a variant of original X20 Plus without the rear-facing fingerprint sensor. Instead, Vivo has partnered with US-based sensor maker Synaptics to include an under-glass fingerprint sensor in the front of the phone. We were able to try it out at CES 2018, which you can see in the video below:

As the Star Trek universe continues to expand at Paramount Plus, everyone’s favorite Starfleet Captain is back. Star Trek: Picard season two takes off early in the new year. Many familiar faces are joining Picard, and a few new ones are joining the adventure too.
With time travel shenanigans, the return of old foes and allies, and the continuation of storylines kicked off in season one, Picard season two already looks like a lot of fun.
The earbuds fit securely in the ear but don't lay flush with the ear.
Plenty of neat new products have been unveiled at CES this year, kickstarting a number of new trends for 2019. One unfortunate absentee from the list are Bluetooth earbuds sporting Qualcomm’s TrueWireless Stereo Plus technology. We did spot the Mavin Air-X brandishing support, but that was essentially it.

Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are arguably its most important phones since the Pixel 3a line launched back in 2018. The Pixel flagships have always excelled in terms of photography and software updates but left a little to be desired in terms of pure hardware features.
The Pixel 6 series — and the Pixel 6 Pro in particular — go a long way to addressing this, bringing a host of premium features and contemporary camera hardware.
