WhatsApp is the world’s most-used cross-platform messaging app. Even after a decade, the app is yet to add support for multi-device login. However, it does allow users to use their account on computers via WhatsApp Web. This feature has now dropped support for Microsoft Edge Legacy.

The software giant Microsoft introduced Edge with the launch of the Windows 10 operating system in 2015. Up until 2019, it was based on the company’s own proprietary browser engine called EdgeHTML and Chakra JavasScripte engine. 

But then, the Redmont-based company introduced a new version of Edge based on the Google-sponsored Chromium project. The stable version of this new Edge was released in January 2020.

Since then, the original version has been called Edge Legacy. With Microsoft discontinuing the development of the original version, other companies started dropping support for it as well. Now, according to Windows Latest, WhatsApp has become the latest firm to join the bandwagon.

What this means is that users will be no longer able to sign into WhatsApp Web on Microsoft Edge Legacy. If they want to access it, they will have to download and install the latest Microsoft Edge or any other browser of their choice like Google Chrome.

Alternatively, users can also download and install the WhatsApp Web application from the official website of WhatsApp. That said, with the addition of multi-device support, WhatsApp Web will become redundant but the Facebook-owned service is yet to release it though it has been testing it for a while now.

The ZUK Edge smartphone is scheduled to be unveiled on Dec. 20. Leaked photos and initial rumors indicate that it is a high-end flagship phone with a higher screen-to-body ratio.

In this morning, Lenovo confirmed through its Weibo account that the ZUK Edge will deliver a screen-to-body ratio of 86.4 percent. It is less than the 91.3 percent screen-to-body ratio that Xiaomi has been marketing for its concept phone, the Xiaomi Mi Mix.

It is interesting to note that GSM Arena’s review on Mi Mix revealed that its actual screen-to-body is ratio is around 84.7 percent. The publication calculated the ratio by dividing the surface area of the phone by the surface area of its screen.

Has Lenovo ZUK Edge managed to pip Xiaomi Mi Mix over screen-to-body ratio? It can be only confirmed after the ZUK Edge release date.

The leaked renders of the ZUK Edge smartphone suggest that’s its large display is surrounded by super slim bezels. To be precise, even the top and bottom bezels are quite thin. It features a rectangular Home button below the display that houses the fingerprint reader.

Lenovo’s ZUK seems to be working on a new smartphone, the Lenovo ZUK Edge, as revealed by the company CEO last week. First, we saw a new ZUK device, most likely the Edge on TENAA, now it looks like the phone has passed through the benchmarking website, AnTuTu, revealing its major specs.

The Lenovo ZUK Edge (Z2151) will come with the Snapdragon 821 chipset clocked at 2.35GHz with 6GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The screen size is unknown but the resolution will be 1920 x 1080p. At the back, there will be a 13MP camera while up front, there will be an 8MP shooter. Another interesting feature revealed by AnTuTu is that the phone will be running Android 7 Nougat. Other possible specs of the device, as revealed by previous reports, are a 5.5-inch display and 3000mAh battery. All this translates into a score of above 160K on AnTuTu, which is great!

Despite the name ZUK Edge, the phone most likely won’t be bezel-less. However, to justify this name, the device is said to feature super thin bezels and we already got a glimpse of the design via a leaked image last week.

Reports suggest that the ZUK Edge will launch via JD.com in China in three variants 4GB + 32GB (2999 Yuan ~ $435), 4GB + 64GB (3299 Yuan ~$478) and 6GB + 128GB (3699 Yun ~$536)
