HOW-TO: Turn your Android phone into the best webcam for Zoom, Skype, Meet and Teams for free

Be it for work or school, video communications are skyrocketing. You are probably already using the webcam built into your laptop, or you’ve upgraded to a USB webcam. But today, we will tell you how you can up your teleconferencing game using your far superior smartphone camera.

Even a mid-range or budget smartphone from a few years ago likely has better camera hardware than a decent USB webcam. Android lacks native support for acting as a webcam for your PC, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. It just means we need to resort to third-party software to do the job.

Week 11 in review: Galaxy A52 and A72 official as OnePlus 9 leaks intensify

Welcome to another week’s recap, let’s get started. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A52, A52 5G and Galaxy A72. All three phones are already on sale – the Galaxy A52 4G and A72 4G offering Snapdragon 720 chipsets and 90Hz refresh screens, while the Galaxy A52 5G has Snapdragon 750 chipset and 120Hz screen.

Speaking to investors, Samsung’s co-CEO DJ Koh has revealed that Samsung could skip unveiling a Galaxy Note in 2021, due to a “serious imbalance” in semiconductor market globally. He did add that next year the lineup should be back on track, reassuring Note fans that the lineup is still in…

Samsung Galaxy A32 4G in for review

This is the Samsung Galaxy A32 4G and it’s the middle child of this years’ A seires – sitting about half way between the A02 and the A72.

It comes in a simple package with a 15W charger and a USB cable. Sadly there’s no protective case in the box.

Not to be confused with the Galaxy A32 5G, which despite supporting next-gen networks is the decidedly less capable device. While the 5G model has a TFT display of 60Hz refresh rate, 48MP main camera and 13MP selfie camera, the 4G one we have here has an AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate, a 64MP main camera and a 20MP selfie…

Weekly poll: what do you think of the new Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72?

Samsung unveiled three new A-series phones this week, however only one of them has 5G connectivity. And, surprisingly, it’s not the most premium of the three. The three models are already available in several regions and we were wondering – how many of you want one and which one?

We already have the Samsung Galaxy A52 (the 4G version) in our office – you can watch our hands-on video for our first look at the phone. It costs €350, while the Galaxy A52 5G is €430/£400.

The two phones are identical beyond the chipset and the screen – Snapdragon 720G and 90Hz for the 4G one and Snapdragon…

Flashback: a look back at the best Samsung Galaxy A phones through the years

Samsung built up the Galaxy A series as a popular line of premium mid-rangers. This week we saw three new additions, but to appreciate how far the series has come we need to look back to the beginning. We already examined the very beginning of the line, the Galaxy Alpha, which wanted to the sleek and stylish instead of a features before looks style flagship like the Galaxy S5.

We’re not going to cover every single A-series phone, instead we’ll try to check in on the more interesting models. We will see that they refined the Alpha formula – that was a bit more style over substance for most…

Weekly poll results: Find X3 Pro gets lukewarm reception

The Oppo Find X3 Pro caught some people’s attention, but few are ready to fork over the cash to buy one without further research – last week’s poll shows that roughly half of voters are interested in the phone, however, most of them preferred to wait for the full review.

When we posted the poll, we had shared early camera samples from the phone. That wasn’t enough to make a €1,150 decision, though. The good news is that we have finished our review since, so you can dive into the details (or watch our hands-on video for a quick overview).

It was a positive conclusion, by the way, we…
