Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Full Specifications Surfaces Yet Again Online; India Launch Next Year?

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE launch is a never-ending mystery. The device has missed several of its launch dates and is now rumored to debut in Q1 2022. The flagship-grade handset has been subject to numerous leaks until now from where we have got all details such as design and hardware aspects. But, the rumor mill doesn’t seem to stop until the device hits the shelves across the globe. A new leak has once again detailed all the Galaxy S21 FE specifications.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Full Specifications Leaked Again

The fresh leak is said to come from some industry sources where the Galaxy S21 FE is confirmed to use the Snapdragon 888 or the in-house Exynos 2100 processor. The latter will be used for the markets outside the USA including India. It might come in dual configuration with one variant offering 6GB RAM+ 128GB storage configuration, while the other variant is said to pack 8GB RAM and 256GB storage option.

The Galaxy S21 FE is rumored to feature the latest Android 12 OS which will be layered with a custom OneUI interface. It is tipped to get up to Android 15 stable updates. This new leak has also suggested a triple rear camera setup for optics. Past leaks hinted at a 64MP main camera which will be combined with an ultra-wide-angle lens and a depth sensor.
Furthermore, the Galaxy S21 FE’s display is said to get Corning Gorilla Victus glass protection. This is one of the major changes it has over the previous-gen model. Going by the previous leaks, this would be an AMOLED panel that will measure 6.4-inches and will support an FHD+ resolution.
The screen refresh rate could be 120Hz. Lastly, the Galaxy S21 FE is confirmed to draw its power via a 4,500 mAh battery that will be coupled with 25W fast wired charging.

Multiple leaks have given us a fair insight as to what all features we should expect from the upcoming Realme flagship. A new leak is now doing round detailing the camera and display specifications.

Realme GT 2 Pro More Hardware Details Surface

According to the tipster, the Realme GT 2 Pro will be packed with a 6.7-inch display. The panel is said to be a flat AMOLED by Samsung which will support QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

This information doesn’t corroborate with the previous leaks where a smaller 6.5-inch display was suggested. A recent exclusive report via GizmoChina indicated two different display variants. One of the models is said to come with an under-display camera, while the other is said to flaunt a punch-hole camera cutout. However, the latest leak doesn’t reveal any such specific detail.

The Realme GT 2 Pro’s new leak also hints at the camera features. Upfront, the handset is said to house a 32MP camera for selfies and video calling. The rear camera module is leaked with a 50MP main camera which will be a Sony IMX766 lens, another 50MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a telephoto sensor.

That said of the optics, the processor powering the GT 2 Pro is also known. The upcoming premium Realme handset will be using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. This handset along with the Moto Edge X30 and Xiaomi 12 series would be amongst the first few devices to debut with Qualcomm’s new-gen flagship processor.

The Realme GT 2 Pro is expected to be launched with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device will likely boot on Android 11 OS and will feature a custom OneUI 3.0 interface. The fast-charging capacity tipped by Digital Chat Station contradicts past reports hinting at 125W fast charging tech. The tipster has instead suggested a 65W quick charging technology.

The Chinese tech giant is all set to host the Inno Days event next week where it will be unveiling its first foldable phone for the masses along with some other of its newest products. The Oppo Find N is the much-anticipated foldable phone which the company itself has teased ahead of the launch.

Oppo Find N Foldable Smartphone Design

Oppo’s foldable smartphone isn’t a new development, rather the brand has been rumored to be working on this handset since 2018. While brands like Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi have already launched their iteration of a foldable Android smartphone, Oppo didn’t make any official announcement surrounding the same until now. However, the latest tweet by the company reveals the first look.

It has been over around four years since the company has been working on the Find N foldable phone. The company says it has done intense and thorough R&D and worked upon as many as six generations of prototypes to get to the final product.

The company’s CEO, Pete Lau suggests that the majority of the smartphone industry has already reached the limit with regards to smartphone specifications. That is in context with smartphone cameras, higher display refresh rates, fast charging technology. This is why Oppo has now planned to finally venture into the foldable smartphone space which is the future of mobile tech.

Lau further said that the aim was to launch a foldable phone which is completely practical and will be more user-friendly. This is why the company invested this long duration in finishing the R&D to test the durability.

Lau said in a statement, “it is better to launch a product later when it is ready to offer a great user experience instead of simply rushing to keep up with the trends.”. If the rumors are to be believed, the Oppo Find N foldable phone will be launching on December 14. However, the company is yet to confirm this timeline officially.

Oppo Find N Expected Specifications

The Oppo Find N foldable phone’s specifications have been doing rounds online for a long now. Its inner display is said to measure 8-inches and would be an LTPO OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The outer display’s size isn’t specified, however, it is said to offer a standard 60Hz refresh rate and feature a punch-hole cutout housing a 32MP selfie camera.

The Oppo Find N is also rumored to be equipped with the Snapdragon 888 processor combined with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage configuration. The foldable phone is speculated to offer a 50MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a 16MP Sony IMX481 sensor, and a 13MP Samsung S5K3M5 lens. The battery capacity is tipped to be a 4,500 mAh unit aided by 65W fast charging.

WhatsApp Dissapering Messages Can Now Be Set To Default: How To Apply The Changes?

WhatsApp has been updating its messaging platform with a new set of features consistently. We have seen multiple new functionalities being added to this service in the last few years. However, the company has always kept users’ privacy on priority and has released several features to keep users’ data private. The Facebook-owned platform is end-to-end encrypted making it secure for chats.

However, it recently borrowed one of the most useful features from Instagram which users have been demanding for a long. We are speaking of the disappearing messages option which was added to the platform last year itself. The company has now refined this security option for a better user experience. Following are the changes:

WhatsApp Disappearing Messages Gets This New Update

As mentioned earlier, WhatsApp had introduced the disappearing messages option for its Android and iOS app back in 2020. However, one had to select this option manually prior to sending a message or media files. For reference, if you want to send a private message or media to any of your contacts, you need to select the disappear message option every time you plan to do that. However, that changes now.

WhatsApp has now allowed the provision to set this ‘disappearing messages’ option to default. Once this option is selected, you wouldn’t have to tap on this setting each time you decide to go private from a contact. Also, you can either set this default option to a single or all of the contacts. It is worth adding that only the new conversations (post activation of this feature) will disappear after a certain period of time.

The company has also added the time limit after which the messages from the chatbox would start disappearing. The timeline for a message to get auto-deleted can be set from 24 hours to 90 days. Also, the default disappearing option isn’t applicable to the group chats by default. You will have to change the group chat’s settings manually for the same.

How Can We Toggle On Default Disappearing Messages Option On WhatsApp?

It’s not much of a task to set the disappearing messages to default on WhatsApp. This option is now available for both Android and iOS devices and is yet to be made available for the desktop version.

Step 1: Open WhatsApp and go to the “Account” option.

Step 2: Now, select the “Privacy” tab.

Step 3: Click on “Disappearing messages” and select the “Automatic” timer option to set it on default.
