Samsung Galaxy S21 family gets new stable One UI 4 build to fix lag issues Just yesterday we let you know that Samsung acknowledged the lag issues plaguing some Galaxy S21 units, especially in the US, after being updated to the stable iteration of One UI 4 based on Android 12, the rollout of which started last week.

And today the company already has the fix out. The issue was that when having selected 120 Hz in Settings, the refresh rate would revert to 60 Hz once the user stopped touching the screen – this resulting in a lot of perceived lag.

The new build is G99xUSQU4BUK9 (where “x” is different according to which S21 family member you have), and it’s…

OnePlus 10 Pro specs leak – 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz, Snapdragon 8 gen 1, IP68 After seeing the first renders of the OnePlus 10 Pro, and then a second batch, it’s now time to add some of the specs, courtesy of @OnLeaks and 91Mobiles.

The OnePlus 10 Pro will sport a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 gen1 chipset with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

On the camera side, it will carry a 48MP main unit, a 50MP ultrawide, and an 8MP 3.3x zoom, an exact-sounding setup as the OnePlus 9 Pro, but perhaps the 10 Pro will use upgraded sensors or optics. The selfie camera is a move up at 32MP.

WhatsApp testing playback control for audio messages
