Twitter Blue now displays your replies higher & let’s you upload 60 min videos

Dec 26, 2022

Since Twitter was acquired by Elon Musk, there has been a number of changes in the company as well as its operations. Now, the latest update brings new additions to its Twitter Blue paid subscription to make it more attractive to its userbase.

For those unaware, the Blue service is basically what offers you the Blue checkmark and verifies your profile. Large businesses and corporations would receive a Gold checkmark to differentiate them from regular users. With the Blue subscription, users could also skip advertisements as well on the microblogging platform. But with the latest update, the perks will also grow to include “prioritized rankings in conversations.”

This means that your replies will be ranked higher and be made more visible in tweets. Furthermore, the company is also letting users now upload up to 60 minute long videos as well. Both of these features don’t arrive as a surprise since they were already promised by Elon Musk last month when he stated that Blue subscribers that pay 8 US Dollars each month will get “priority in replies, mentions & search” alongside being able to post hour long videos.

As per official notes from Twitter support, the priority rankings will also “help lower the visibility of scams, spam, and bots.” Although, it is still unclear if the Blue subscribers will be on the top of the list on every tweet replies. The new video upload is also only being offered to web users. In other words, the 10 minute rule for video uploads still applies to iOS and Android useres on mobile devices.

The device was recently spotted on TENAA, revealing full specifications. As per the listing, the OnePlus 11 features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display offering s a Quad HD+ screen resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit colors, and an under-screen fingerprint scanner.

LG Confirms That Android 13 Update for LG Velvet Will Be Released in Q1 2023

Dec 26, 2022

Unquestionably, LG was one of the most innovative smartphone manufacturers. Their products, such as the LG Velvet and LG Wings, introduced some truly ground-breaking innovations to the market. But the company was compelled to exit the smartphone business because it was unable to make enough profit margins. As one of the oldest tech giants in the industry, this announcement came as a huge shock because nobody had really expected their abrupt exit from the market.

Anyway, many people who had actually bought the LG devices just a few days before the headline were concerned if the brand support for software and after-sales services will be there or not. Well, in response to this, LG clarified that all the devices will get proper after-sales services and OTA updates will be provided to the devices until they’re marked EOL (End-of-life) for the updates. Keeping up with its promise, the brand has confirmed that LG Velvet will receive the Android 13 update in Q1 of 2023.

The LG Velvet and other LG smartphones are still in widespread use by numerous people. Anyhow, according to a recent post on its support forums, LG will release Android 13 for the LG Velvet in the first quarter of 2023. The software update plan specifies that LG will deliver Android security updates for the LG Wing, LG Q61, LG Q92 5G, and LG Q52 5G in the upcoming quarter, but it does not specify when the LG Wing would receive its Android 13 update.

You will need to wait a little longer to get the most recent updates if you live anywhere other than South Korea, where this software release schedule only applies. We expect LG to release the Android 13 upgrade for the LG Velvet in further markets in the second quarter based on the rollout schedule for this year. Users may have to wait a long time for the Android 13 update because the LG Wing only recently received the Android 12 update.

In any case, Android 13 is at least being made available to LG Wings customers. Although the delayed rollout schedule may have left some customers dissatisfied, what could be better than getting updates from a discontinued brand in the smartphone market? Better late than never, I guess. As of right now, there is no official confirmation of the LG Wings smartphone receiving Android 13.

A Chinese woman in Ningde, Fujian Province has claimed that her iPhone 12 Pro fell from the 26th floor of a building and was not totaled. The woman says the smartphone slipped from her pocket while spreading her quilt on the balcony of the 26th floor of an apartment complex. The incident occurred on December 18 and leaves a lot of people stunned by the miraculous story.

The Fujian incident joins a growing collection of remarkable stories relating to the iPhone. Previously, iPhones found inside the toilet, inside a river, and even falling from an airplane have seemingly remained intact. The latest incident feeds into the profile of the iPhone brand as very rugged and durable.

According to the report, the falling iPhone 12 Pro was inserted into a platform made of foam on the 2nd floor of the building. The woman requested help and a staff member climbed to the second floor to retrieve the phone. The screen of the device was not damaged, which is impressive, if true. However, there are not a few netizens who have criticized the veracity of the woman’s claims.

The iPhone 12 Pro comes with some protection against damage when it falls. It has a super-ceramic panel and a matte textured glass back panel. It also comes with a stainless-steel frame which is of excellent quality.

These properties however do not absolutely insulate the smartphone from damage after falling from the 26th floor. The alleged story could well be the culmination of a string of coincidences. The coincidence resulted in the smartphone falling from 26 floors and being inserted on a platform made of foam insulation.

Several reports have claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Fan Edition does not exist. However, a fresh leak reveals that the Galaxy S22 FE does exist. It appears that the device may come equipped with a MediaTek chip.

A tweet released by a leaker reveals that the Galaxy S22 FE and Galaxy Buds 2 will be coming soon. Another known leaker, Dohyun Kim, has confirmed the arrival of these devices, but he also said that the Galaxy S22 FE won’t be coming.

— Dohyun Kim (@dohyun854) December 24, 2022

Speculations are rife that Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on Feb. 1 to announce the Galaxy S23 series. According to another tipper (RGcloudS), Samsung will announce some products, like the Galaxy S22 FE and Galaxy Tab S8 FE, in the second part of Unpacked event. We believe that these devices may get a soft launch a couple of weeks after the Galaxy S23 series goes official.

The tipster claimed that the Galaxy S2 FE would arrive instead of the Galaxy A74. To those who are unaware, the company is already said to be working on a couple of new A-series phones, such as the Galaxy A14, A24, A34, and A54. However, there is no news on the existence of the A74, which suggests that it may have been cancelled.

The leak states that the Galaxy S22 FE will launch instead of the Galaxy A74. It may arrive with the Exynos 2300 chipset and the Samsung ISOCEL HM6 108-megapixel primary camera. The S22 FE is expected to cost the same as the Galaxy A73, which was announced for $499 earlier this year.

The Galaxy Tab S8 FE is also expected to feature the same Exynos 2300 chipset. The leak further revealed that the second Unpacked event, which will be held in Q3 2023, will see the arrival of the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
