Further down the line is next year’s Galaxy S22 family, with the eyes of the geekerati on the S22 Ultra. Noted Twitter tipster Ice Universe has details on the potential camera upgrade; an improved perisocpe arrangements offering constant zoom which should offer magnification between x3 and x10: “.
..the Galaxy S22 Ultra will feature an improved periscope camera with continuous zoom. The current periscope zoom units found on smartphones such as the Galaxy S21 Ultra have fixed lenses. The phone has to use a cropped image from the primary camera or use a separate intermediary zoom lens before the periscope camera kicks in. This results in poor image quality at non-native zoom levels." Following their announcement last month, HMG Global has released the Nokia X20 and the Nokia G10 in the UK. Available for purchase direct through , the Android One powered handsets are priced at £320 for the Nokia X20 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and £110 for the Nokia G10 with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Right now these are the only memory/storage variants available:One month after its launch, Ryne Hager returns to his OnePlus 9 Pro review. The updates in the OS are noted, as are the areas not yet updated; improved battery life; and continuing issues with consistency results from the camera: "hile my connectivity issues and the problem with wide-color content I noted in my original review have been fixed, and I haven't seen the camera randomly open itself in the last week, there is still some general software weirdness surrounding automatic dark theme in some apps, and something about touch input still feels subtly delayed or wrong when typing quickly in Gboard. Bluetooth audio performance also remains mediocre for me, but the company has done a generally good job attending to launch issues, as it usually does." Qualcomm has confirmed a security flow in its Mobile Station Modem. The company released a patch to its customers in December 2020, and manufactures have been rolling out fixes as part of their Android updates. Qualcomm has stated: "Providing technologies that support robust security and privacy is a priority for Qualcomm. We commend the security researchers from Check Point for using industry-standard coordinated disclosure practices. Qualcomm Technologies has already made fixes available to OEMs in December 2020, and we encourage end users to update their devices as patches become available."
