Popular iPhone camera app Halide now available on the iPad

Lux, creators of the popular third-party camera app Halide for the iPhone, have now released their iPad app. Halide for iPad features a redesigned UI for the larger display and the iPad’s size.

Other controls like the lens switcher and manual focus are on the opposite edge. The less frequently used controls are placed in the…

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 mass production reportedly starts as launch nears

The Unpacked event in July is expected to introduce Samsung’s new foldable devices and possibly three Galaxy Watch4 models and maybe even the second generation Galaxy Buds. Samsung is already mass producing the parts for them and yields are starting to stabilize, according to leakster Roland Quandt.

The Nokia G10 and G20 have 5,050 mAh batteries, the biggest capacity of any Nokia phone so far. However, a new model may surpass them and it belongs to the basic Android Go Edition series.

The C30 will have a dual camera by the looks of it, and a fingerprint reader too. Both…

Yesterday Samsung shared a demo video of its display advancementsand one of the concepts it showcased was a rollable unit.

The company trademarked the Z Roll name, signaling its commitment to the project. The document also suggests that the Z Roll will support S-Pen. Perhaps it’s too optimistic to expect Samsung’s rollable phone to come out this year but hopefully the next one. It will be…
