Samsung has announced an Exynos launch on November 19. We’re guessing the company will launch its first AMD-powered Exynos processor. Update: November 10, 2021 (4:34 AM ET): Well, Samsung has taken to social media to refute any suggestions that it’s holding an Exynos launch on November 19. Instead, the company says a recent post (seen in the original article below) was meant to convey that changes are coming to its social accounts.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip boasts at least one structural improvement that makes its display better than the Galaxy Fold from last year. It uses a new ultra-thin glass (UTG) screen instead of a plastic display. This was supposed to make the Galaxy Z Flip’s display more resistant to scratches compared to the Galaxy Fold’s plastic screen. However, a durability test of the phone suggests otherwise.
The display starts scratching at level two on the Mohs scale (equivalent to gypsum).
In a departure from previous phones, Sony decided to implement some continuity with their latest phone and their popular camera lines. No, that doesn’t mean there is a monster camera sensor on the new Sony Xperia 1 II, but there are some serious controls for the three 12MP sensors that are installed. Set to 16mm, 24mm, and 70mm, the three sensors basically have a clean sweep from your ultra-wide shots up to your telephoto images.

If you use the highly-rated email app Edison Mail you’ll find there’s a new feature available today. Now, you can easily block email addresses when you receive something you don’t want.
Going forward, instead of just deleting a message you don’t care about, you should instead block the address. Doing so will automatically forward any future messages from that address straight to the trash without you ever knowing it even existed.
Google is rolling out an update to its Gmail for Android application, bringing two new features that will help manage your email much more easily. “Block Sender” and “Unsubscribe” functionality is coming to the app, allowing you to quickly block or unsubscribe from unwanted mailing lists.
It’s easy to see why Google is bringing these features to Gmail. Unsubscribing from mailing lists is one of the most annoying parts of email in today’s age, and giving users the ability to do this in just a few taps will make managing your inbox a breeze.
The HTC One SV isn’t the most recent addition to HTC’s increasingly confusingly named One series of phones, nor is the most talked about. That doesn’t mean, however, that it isn’t worth a look.
It may not have the most eye-poppingly impressive specs, but the HTC One SV is part of a recent trend of very capable yet inexpensive dual-core phones. Does it have what it takes to keep up with its competition?
