Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 to weigh the same as Flip 5G

It appears Samsung’s next clamshell foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip3 will weight the exact same 183g as its predecessor, as per renowned tipster Ice universe. Sadly, there’s no more information in his report as of now.

Samsung is expected to change-up the design of the Galaxy Z Flip3 with a bigger outer display, which shares a matte glass cover with the dual main cameras. The total number of cameras is expected to stay at three – likely a wide and ultrawide on the outside and a selfie on the inside (possibly an under-display one, like the Galaxy Z Fold3).

Nokia C20 Plus appears on Geekbench with the same chipset, more RAM

The new USB PD Extended Power Range standard will supply up to 240W of power

The current USB Power Delivery specification supports up to 100W of power being delivered. That is enough for phones (well, most phones) and laptops that use 15W processors, but not enough for more power-hungry devices such as a gaming laptop.

The USB Implementers Forum has designed a new specification called USB PD Extended Power Range (EPR) that can deliver up to 240W. This will be done at 50V and 5A (with some safety margin), which is a lot of power – to ensure everything runs smoothly, only Electronically Marked cables will be supported (these include a little chip that can tell the…

Smartphones aside, HMD shipped 11 million…
