TL;DR
LG is using CES to show how its transparent OLEDs could be used in the real world. It envisions a “Smart Bed” where a transparent TV could sit at your feet. It’s still not clear when you might see this in mobile devices. LG Display is still eager to make transparent OLED displays a practical reality, and it’s using CES 2021 to show just what might be possible.

Sometimes when you flash a ROM on your Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535, the /system and /data partitions are not wiped properly, causing those partitions to be formatted with read-only (R/O) permissions rather than read-write (R/W).
Such a scenario makes the phone unable to boot because no data can be written to those partitions. Flashing another ROM or a stock ROM through Odin will also yield the same result. It can get really frustrating.

Sony is sending ads via push notifications to Xperia owners. The ad promotes the new Xperia Pro-I smartphone. The topic of system ads on smartphones has come up numerous times before, as the likes of Realme, Xiaomi, and Samsung have all offered this in a bid to make more money. Samsung has since announced that it’s disabling system ads on its phones, but it looks like Sony is ready to step in.
Now that the Galaxy S21 Ultra is available, there’s an obvious question to ask: how does its performance fare against Samsung’s previous flagship, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra? Gary Sims has conducted a realistic speed test of the Snapdragon versions of the S21 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra to find out, and one Galaxy emerged the clear victor.
This was ultimately a way to gauge the Snapdragon 888’s prowess. The Galaxy S21 Ultra won every speed test by a significant (though not cavernous) margin, completing each benchmark a few seconds faster than the Snapdragon 865 Plus-based Note 20 Ultra.
