T-Mobile may need to create competing carrier for Sprint merger deal

If T-Mobile wants the Sprint merger to happen, it may need to create a competitor with its own wireless network to get approval. The requirement comes from the Department of Justice, according to a new leak, which claims the department’s antitrust division seeks the new carrier to ensure consumers have an adequate number of service options.

Google denies Pixel Digital Wellbeing bug, unrelated fix coming soon

When Google launched the Pixel 3, one of its key features, which eventually spread to other Pixels and Android phones, was Digital Wellbeing. The feature was intended to help users become aware of their smartphone use and detach when necessary. It turned out that it partly accomplished the latter by reducing Pixel phones’ battery life, unintentionally, of course. Google has … Continue reading

Samsung Galaxy Fold Delay Might Be Longer Than Expected

By now, many have heard that the Samsung Galaxy Fold has been officially delayed in order for Samsung to fix the durability issues that were found with the phone. It was expected that the delay wouldn’t take that long, but now according to reports from Korean media outlets, there is a chance it might take longer than we had previously expected.

According to the reports from outlets such as Yonhap and The Korea Herald, they are citing anonymous industry sources who are telling them that we shouldn’t hold our breath for a launch next month. Now, to be fair, Samsung never really promised when the phone would be available for purchase again, but the company’s statements seemed to suggest that they could announce something soon.

If the reports are true, then it could probably come later in the year. The reports are also claiming that this is because stabilizing the hardware quality is taking longer than expected, and that Samsung would also need to recertify the handset for use with mobile networks, which could also add to its delay.

In the meantime, retailers like Best Buy have since cancelled all pre-orders of the handset instead of waiting for Samsung to eventually settle on a new release date.

Google Is Banning Marijuana Delivery Apps On The Play Store

A few years ago, several states in the US made a somewhat landmark decision where the use of marijuana was legalized. Previously, marijuana was legal in some states but only for medicinal use, but now there are some states where you can buy them for non-medical purposes, and in some cases, even grow a couple of plants yourself.

Perhaps due to the fact that it hasn’t been legalized nationwide, but it seems that Google has announced that they will be banning marijuana delivery apps on its Play Store. According to Google, “We don’t allow apps that facilitate the sale of marijuana or marijuana products, regardless of legality.”

Google has since clarified what these changes in policy means and in a statement made to Android Police, “These apps simply need to move the shopping cart flow outside of the app itself to be compliant with this new policy. We’ve been in contact with many of the developers and are working with them to answer any technical questions and help them implement the changes without customer disruption.”

Some are speculating that Google is simply trying to create a more family-friendly/kid-friendly image with the Play Store, but either way, if these apps are banned, the beauty of Android is that their APKs can be sideloaded easily enough for those who absolutely need to use an app to purchase their marijuana with.

Rumored Fujifilm X-Pro3 Specs Hint At In-Body Image Stabilization

Back in 2016, Fujifilm launched one of their latest flagship mirrorless cameras in the form of the X-Pro2. We imagine that following the success of their X-Pro series of cameras amongst those who prefer the rangefinder style, Fujifilm will probably at some point in the future launch the X-Pro3.

Now according to a report from Fuji Addict, they claim to have heard from a source who has since revealed some of the alleged specs of the X-Pro3. This includes the use of a 24MP/26.1MP X-Trans CMOS sensor, the X-processor 4 that comes with a quad CPU, the ability to record 4K video at 60fps, and also weather sealing in a magnesium alloy body.

What’s interesting is that the X-Pro3 is also rumored to adopt a feature of the Fujifilm X-H1 in the form of in-body image stabilization. The X-H1 is the first Fujifilm camera to adopt the feature, whereas in the past, image stabilization for Fujifilm cameras was limited to their lenses. By including it in the body, it means that image stabilization can be used across lenses.

Take it with a grain of salt for now, but we did hear that the X-Pro3 might actually be launched later this year. It has been about 3 years since the X-Pro2 was launched, so we suppose it is ripe for a successor.
