The former quotes a statement by a company spokesman that said “given recent discussions with various authorities and privacy experts, we want to make clear that we will not limit the functionality of how WhatsApp works for those who have not yet accepted the update.”

However, WhatsApp says it will keep reminding users periodically although there are “no plans for these reminders to become persistent.”. It also revealed that the majority of users have accepted.

The Facebook-owned company had announced that its new policy will see more personal data shared with Facebook, though it clarified that it will only be messages sent to business accounts that may be stored on its servers.

Smartisan is dead but the Nut R2 is heavily discounted, comes with a free gift and 1-year warranty

Early this year, ByteDance announced it was shutting down Smartisan, the Chinese smartphone brand. The last phone announced by the company is the Smartisan Nut R2, and if you don’t mind buying a phone from a brand that no longer exists, then it should excite you to know that the 2020 flagship will be on sale for the 618 festival.

A Weibo post by the official Smartisan account has revealed that the Nut R2 will be discounted by as much as ¥800 (~$125) starting tomorrow. There is also a free 65W GaN charger, a 30-day worry-free return, and a 12-month warranty.

Smartisan Nut R2 promo

Starting tomorrow, interested buyers will be able to grab the phone on the official Smartisan store on JD.com. The promotion runs until June 3. Below are the discounted prices for each available configuration:

  • 8GB RAM + 256GB (Black) = ¥2499 (~$392)
  • 8GB RAM + 256GB (Green) = ¥2499 (~$408)
  • 12GB RAM + 256GB (Black) = ¥2899 (~$455)

The Smartisan Nut R2 has a 6.67-inch 90Hz FHD+ curved AMOLED display. There is a punch hole in the screen that is home to a 20MP camera. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 powers the phone and it draws juice from a 4510mAh battery with support for 55W fast charging.

There are four cameras on the back of the phone – a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP telephoto camera, a 13MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 5MP macro camera.

Leaked Moto G Stylus 5G press render show all angles

Motorola already announced a Moto G Stylus phone early this year but that won’t be the only model planned for 2021. There will be a second device that will launch as the Moto G Stylus 5G, and now a press render of the device has surfaced on the web.

The render was posted on Twitter by Nils Ahrensmeier of TechnikNews and it shows the phone from all angles. As seen in the photo, the Moto G Stylus 5G will have a hole in the left corner of its display. The side bezels are pretty slim but the chin is thicker.

Motorola has gone with a camera design different from the model that launched earlier this year. While it still has four sensors, they are arranged in a way that reminds one of a cooker. The camera housing protrudes and there is a pill-shaped LED placed horizontally below the cameras. Motorola’s batwing logo sits in the middle and you can be sure there is a fingerprint scanner beneath it.

The Moto G Stylus 5G has an audio jack at the bottom alongside a USB-C port, a speaker grille, and the silo for the stylus. The top of the phone is bare.

According to the source, this is the Motorola device codenamed “denver” and according to earlier reports, it will be powered by a Snapdragon 480 5G processor. This is Qualcomm’s entry-level 5G chipset and we have seen it appear in phones as the OPPO A74 5G, Vivo’s revised Y52s, and HMD Global’s Nokia X10 and Nokia X20.

The phone is said to come with 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage but it has also been revealed that there will be a 256GB version. We expect this variant to have at least 6GB of RAM.

For the cameras, it has been revealed that the primary camera is a 48MP sensor and it comes along with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor.

The Moto G Stylus 5G will be exclusive to the US according to Nils but we won’t put it past Motorola to announce it in another market under a different name. When the launch will happen is still unknown but if you want a budget 5G phone with a stylus, then you may want to hold on for this one.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab patent-based concept renders showcase a tri-fold design

Samsung has been developing foldable display technology in recent years, as highlighted by its patents in this area. A recent patent listing at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) shows that the company was working on a design titled ‘Method and device for providing (a) user interface in (an) electronic device having foldable display’. The patent was published on May 21, 2021, and gives an insight into the possible usage scenarios of such a multi-foldable device.

Earlier on, the same design was patented at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patenting information has now yielded some renders of the device, which are pretty illuminating. Editor-in-Chief at Yanko Design, Sarang Sheth, has provided some pretty hi-res renders of the Galaxy Z Fold Tab (via LetsGoDigital), using the details contained in the Patent. There is no need for a cover display in the device because of its foldable design. The device’s name is not yet clear, although it could be named Galaxy Z Fold Tab or Galaxy Z Flex, which is in line with the naming convention used in the foldable Samsung 2-in-1 laptop.The Galaxy Z Fold Tab is designed to operate both as a smartphone and a tablet, with a decent form factor resulting from its minimal folding mechanism. The design of the Z Fold tablet also incorporates a position for the S Pen, which could be more efficient in the model.Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab

Foldable technology holds much promise, as several OEMs are pursuing active research along such a line. Recently Huawei and Xiaomi have released affordable foldable-display smartphones to the Chinese market.Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab

However, Samsung will have to decide whether this device is worthy of being released into the tablet market and its market viability. The Galaxy Unpacked event slated for August 2021 will provide further perspective on the possible trajectory of the new foldable device.

The Pro-H version of the Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover has the capability of electrolyzing the water with the addition of hypochlorous acid which can sterilize efficiently, more than 99% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, it can effectively block fecal-oral transmission, making the toilet truly clean. The sterile water also can be automatically restored to natural water, making it environmentally friendly.Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover Pro-H Version

Each time the toilet lid is opened, it will automatically start the pre-wetting function. During this phase, there is multi-directional automatic spraying of water mist to moisten the inner wall surface of the toilet to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface when flushing.Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover Pro-H Version

The smart toilet seat cover supports 8 cleaning modes. These include Menstrual care, Spa, Children’s cleaning, Women’s cleaning, Buttocks cleaning, Massage cleaning, Reciprocating cleaning, and Selection cleaning. Most children cannot use the washing function normally because of their small buttocks.

After the flushing is completed, the Tinymu Pro-H supports four-block warm air, which are room temperature, 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C, with a four-block seat ring for temperature adjustment, which is suitable for all seasons.

You can start the deodorization function by yourself when you sit down. The activated carbon is combined with a catalyst deodorant, and then a fan is used to ventilate the room so that it smells fresh when someone else wants to use the loo.

In terms of design, the Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover Pro-H adopts a new slim design with smooth lines. It packs a remote sensor at the side for remote control operation. Further, the seat is said to be compatible with 95% of mainstream toilets in the market. It can be adapted to arc, wall-mounted, and small toilets.

The Galaxy A03s CAD renders show that its screen will be sporting a V-shaped notch. The back panel of the device has a triple camera unit along with an LED flash.

While the Galaxy A02s did not feature a fingerprint scanner, the Galaxy A03s could be sporting a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The bottom edge of the phone is populated with a 3.5mm audio jack, a microphone, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille.

The leak reveals that the Galaxy A03s will be sporting a 6.5-inch screen. It is unclear whether it will continue to sport a PLS IPS HD+ panel like the predecessor model. The A03s is expected to retain a 5-megapixel selfie camera and a 13-megapixel primary camera on the back. The older models also feature the same selfie camera and rear camera.

The other specifications of the Galaxy A03s are yet to appear. Hopefully, reports coming in the week will spill information about the A03s.
