Fitbit has quietly added a major feature to its Charge 5 activity tracker, and it’s all about tracking your phone, not you.
The latest firmware version, 57.20001.171.50, released on Tuesday, adds the ability to ping your paired smartphone and make it make a loud noise in order to find it. After using the Find Phone button, tapping the Cancel prompt on Fitbit Charge 5 will stop the noise.
The feature isn’t new to Fitbit, but it was previously exclusive to the company’s smartwatches, such as the Versa and Sense lines. Of course, using the feature requires the phone to be paired via Bluetooth, within close range of the watch, and the Fitbit app running in the background. The Find Phone feature should work on any phone that supports the Fitbit app.
Quietly add utilities
While it’s odd that Fitbit, now owned by Google, isn’t hyping the Charge 5’s newfound phone-finding feature, it’s the only notable feature in this firmware update. Fitbit’s own line of Versa smartwatches sell for similar prices, so the company may not have announced the feature loudly because it didn’t want to cannibalize Versa sales.
Still, the feature does add more utility to an already value-oriented fitness tracker (compared to finding a misplaced iPhone), and provides another option for those who don’t want a full-featured smartwatch A way to find a misplaced smartphone. Fitbit also has the benefit of not being locked into a particular ecosystem. Samsung and Apple Watches have similar features, but they only work with Samsung and Apple phones, respectively.
After teasing clues about the date of its next big hardware reveal on social media on Tuesday, Samsung confirmed that its next Unpacked event is set for August 10.
The event invite shown above shows a Z Flip foldable phone, which seems to back up what previous whistleblower Evan Blass had hinted at: the Unpacked event will focus on Samsung‘s foldable phone. Specifically, it may reveal the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and clamshell-style Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, which will be launched in August 2021.
Don’t expect much progress from Samsung‘s next foldable. Rumors have suggested that the tablet-sized Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 could have a new hinge and slimmer construction, but a jury of leakers has yet to determine whether it will include an S Pen slot like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Other rumors predict a faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chipset powering the foldable device, as well as an under-display camera appearing on the outer display to complement the one on the inner screen.
According to other rumors, the compact-looking Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 could get a larger cover display, which could make it more useful for reading notifications and previewing selfie photos.
Even if the new foldable has only incremental spec upgrades, the biggest improvement might be the price. The Galaxy Fold 3 starts at $1,800 (£1,599, AU$2,499) cheaper than its predecessor, still around double the price of most high-end smartphones. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 sells for a staggering $1,000 (£949, AU$1,499), or close to the price of the iPhone 13 Pro, making it the most affordable foldable to date and a viable alternative to standard phablet smartphones.
But analyst Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, predicts that the upcoming Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 could be cheaper, tweeting that Samsung has ramped up production and the number of new foldables made That’s double what it was last year, which points to a possible price cut.
Regardless, we expect the new foldables to sell well, as the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 sold more in their launch month than in all of 2020. With more than 7 million foldables sold in 2021, Samsung is in a strong position to continue to dominate the niche foldable market, which is expected to grow to over 27 million by 2025.
Samsung may have other products to go with the foldable, most likely the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. Rumors suggest that the next-gen line of premium smartwatches could feature a body temperature sensor and longer battery life, as well as an updated design. Hopefully it also fixes a glaring flaw in the Galaxy Watch 4 — no iPhone support — and better integration with Wear OS 3, as we felt last year’s watch was pulled between Google and Samsung’s ecosystems.
There are other things Samsung could show off, like Galaxy Buds 2 earbuds, a tablet or a laptop successor, but we haven’t heard a lot of rumors suggesting that either of those could be coming. Still, it’s easy to be surprised by the long-awaited foldable.

Do you take good care of the battery in your laptop? While chips are getting more efficient and battery life is increasing, avoiding a few mistakes can help extend a laptop’s battery health in the long run. Here are 4 ways to damage your laptop battery, let’s take a look!
keep charging
The idea of keeping a laptop plugged in all the time is “bad” stems from the myth of overcharging, but laptops and other gadgets that use such batteries switch to trickle charging as they approach capacity. Your laptop won’t explode or “overcharge” if you keep it plugged in.
With that in mind, the lithium-ion battery inside a laptop will last longer if it doesn’t maintain a high voltage level for an extended period of time. If we’re talking about battery health, you can extend battery life by not keeping it at 100% all the time. This means using the battery by unplugging it during the day, rather than keeping it plugged in.
make it too hot or too cold
Nothing kills a battery like exposing it to extreme temperatures. We all know that extreme heat is bad for lithium-ion batteries, but so is extreme cold.
Leaving a laptop in a car exposed to sub-zero temperatures can cause irreversible damage to the battery. Some electric vehicles (EVs) that use lithium-ion batteries implement temperature management systems in the car to limit damage in particularly cold weather and for better performance on cold mornings.
Your laptop doesn’t contain such a system, which is why you should be extra careful. If the worst happens and your laptop is exposed to cold, it’s a good idea to let the battery warm up before trying to use it.
Heat is another cause of laptop battery damage, and it’s a problem you can run into at any time of the year. Leaving your laptop out in the sun for hours is a recipe for disaster, as it gets so hot that the safety mechanism kicks in causing the power to shut down.
You can prevent this from happening by placing the laptop in a room that isn’t hot enough without adequate airflow. Be extra careful when using your laptop on a bed or other fabric surface, as many have vents on the sides and back of the lid that can easily get clogged by soft furniture.
No shallow discharge
When lithium-ion batteries are kept at around 40-80% of their maximum capacity, they will last longer. Over-discharging a battery can shorten its lifespan, as can staying above 80% for extended periods of time. Many manufacturers now offer a battery-save “long life” mode to help with this, as summarized by Battery University:
Some laptops allow you to limit the charge percentage to around 80% to extend battery life. This feature is supported by specific manufacturers that use their own apps, such as MyASUS for Asus users and the Battery Restricted Mode setting for Microsoft Surface users. Other users can try the freeware Battery Limiter application for Windows.
On macOS, you can use AlDente to set charging limits or use Apple’s built-in optimized charging feature. Optimized Charging learns from your schedule, keeping your laptop at a lower capacity until you need it. If macOS recognizes that you turn off your laptop to go to work every day at 8am, it won’t charge 100% in the morning, even if you’ve plugged it in the night before.
No discharge once a month
This might sound contradictory, considering we’ve already said that letting the battery fully discharge is bad news. But never allowing the battery to fully discharge can cause it to become inaccurate in reporting its current charge level.
First, you may not know how much battery you have left and you may run out of battery. Many other good practices, such as keeping your battery above 40%, or limiting it to around 80%, rely on knowing your true charge level.
This is especially true if you use an app like AlDente or Battery Limiter to limit your battery below 100%. This type of use may require more frequent battery recalibration, so we recommend a full discharge once a month.
Rumors about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 series are heating up. The future looks pretty bright for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra flagship, which is ready to feature a massive 200MP camera. Now a new leak suggests that the specific camera sensor the phone will use has not been released by the company.
This differs from earlier rumors that Samsung may use its ISOCELL HP 1 or HP 3 sensor for the 200MP sensor. Samsung introduces ISOCELL HP 3 sensor. But recently, news broke that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra could skip this new camera.
Now, a tweet from reliable leaker Ice Universe claims that the S23 Ultra will feature a 200MP camera, but that sensor has yet to be announced.
This could be good news for the upcoming Samsung flagships. Samsung’s HP 3 is a mid-range sensor, while the HP 1 is a larger, more refined sensor expected to debut on Motorola’s X30 Pro or Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. In order to do better than the competition, Samsung may have another sensor planned for its own flagship. While it’s hard to guess the specs of the sensor, it could also mean the new sensor will outperform Motorola’s 200MP phone.
More megapixels = better phone?
Motorola may be the first company to launch a phone with a 200MP camera. To get to 200MP, Motorola recently posted a photo taken on its X30 Pro. According to Ice Universe’s tweet, the Motorola 200MP photo was taken with pixel binning enabled.
Pixel binning is great for phones that are steadily climbing the megapixel ladder. This means that 200MP footage can easily be compressed into a super high resolution 20MP footage.
200MP in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or Motorola X30 Pro is nothing new. Over the past few years, companies have been upping their megapixels. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has a 108MP main camera, the Pixel 6 has a 50MP main sensor, and the iPhone 14 Pro has a 48MP main camera. But while more megapixels might be great for marketing a new phone, does that necessarily mean better images?
The answer is – not necessarily. More megapixels means sharper images, not really “better” images. Pixel size is important because it determines how much data the sensor can receive, but other factors are equally important. This is why 108MP photos are not necessarily better than 12MP photos. After all, the 12MP iPhone 13 Pro Max currently tops our list of the best camera phones.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 has a top-notch 108MP camera that usually takes stunning photos — but there’s still some leeway for tweaking in terms of color and handling challenging photography scenarios. According to leaks, Samsung has a new sensor for a 200MP camera on the S23 Ultra, and it appears to have big plans for its flagship phone, which will be launched early next year.
