Samsung Galaxy S22 vs Galaxy S21 FE: How to decide

 If you’re a Samsung fan, you might find yourself choosing between the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S21 FE. The two devices are about the same price and share some similarities in size and camera specs. That said, there are some important differences between the two.

The Galaxy S21 FE is essentially a repackaged version of last year’s Galaxy S21, while the Galaxy S22 is the next generation of the S21. The Galaxy S21 FE is priced at $700, compared to Samsung’s current price of $600. It runs on a slightly older processor than the S22, and it has a lower resolution main camera. The Galaxy S21 FE doesn’t have the improvements Samsung has made for nighttime photography, and its design isn’t as exciting as the Galaxy S22. But the S21 FE has a noticeably larger screen than the S22, a sharper selfie camera, and most importantly, a lower price. Take a closer look at how the two phones compare below.

Galaxy S22 has a smaller screen but a more elegant design

The most obvious difference between the two devices can be seen at a glance: the Galaxy S22 has a 6.1-inch screen, while the Galaxy S21 FE has a 6.4-inch display. The Galaxy S22 looks a little cramped, especially when typing, while the Galaxy S21 FE feels like it strikes a better balance between portability and screen real estate. The Galaxy S22 is for those who prefer smaller phones like the iPhone 13 Mini or the Samsung Galaxy S10E compared to the Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra.

The display quality of the Galaxy S22 and S21 FE is very similar. The Galaxy S22 has more pixels per inch, but the difference isn’t noticeable. Both phones boost the screen’s refresh rate to 120Hz for smoother scrolling, and they both support HDR10 Plus. The Galaxy S22 series has a new feature called Vision Booster that adjusts the screen to the surrounding light, but I didn’t notice much of a difference between the two.

The difference you’ll notice, however, is in the phone’s design. The Galaxy S22 is made of metal and glass, giving it a more elegant and more expensive feel than the cheaper Galaxy S21 FE. The S22’s metal edges even remind me of the iPhone 13 Pro. The Galaxy S21 FE’s design looks dull by comparison. The Galaxy S22 is also slightly lighter than the Galaxy S21 FE at 167 grams, compared to the S21 FE’s 177 grams.

Galaxy S22 has a better main camera, but S21 FE wins for selfies

Both the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 FE are equipped with triple-camera main cameras, and the difference lies in the details. The Galaxy S22 has a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. The Galaxy S21 FE has a 12-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera.

As a result, I’ve found that photos taken with the Galaxy S22 generally look richer and more detailed than photos taken with the Galaxy S21 FE. I also noticed that the Galaxy S22 takes sharper zoomed-in photos than the Galaxy S21 FE, which makes sense given its slightly higher-resolution camera. Samsung has also improved the way the Galaxy S22 series captures photos in low light. During my testing, the Galaxy S22 generally took sharper, brighter, and sharper photos than the Galaxy S21 FE. But the Galaxy S21 FE’s 32-megapixel front-facing camera has the edge when it comes to selfies. By comparison, the Galaxy S22 has a 10-megapixel selfie camera. You’ll notice more detail in the photos of the Galaxy S21 FE.

Galaxy S22 has newer Qualcomm processors, but similar overall performance

The Galaxy S22 runs on Qualcomm’s new processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, while the Galaxy S21 FE uses last year’s Snapdragon 888. This is the same chip found in the Galaxy S21 series.

Both phones felt snappy and smooth when loading apps, playing games, and scrolling through the OS. The Galaxy S22 performed slightly better on benchmarks that measure general-purpose computing and graphics performance, but by a small margin. Where the new processors really shine is in enabling new features. Part of the reason the Galaxy S22 is better at taking pictures in the dark, for example, is its new processor.

The phones also offer similar memory and storage, although the Galaxy S22 has more base RAM (8GB versus 6GB in the S21 FE). But both phones offer 128GB or 256GB storage options.

According to my testing, the Galaxy S21 FE has slightly longer battery life than the Galaxy S22, but not by much. The S21 FE lasted 15 hours and 46 minutes on CNET’s battery test, which involves continuously playing video in airplane mode with the screen brightness set to 50 percent. By comparison, the Galaxy S22 lasted 15 hours and 21 minutes on the same test. Both phones have significantly less battery life than the Galaxy S22 Plus and the oversized Galaxy S22 Ultra, which both topped 18 hours.

Samsung Galaxy S23 may have satellite communication and super bright screen

 We may only be a few months away from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, but as usual, many new features and improvements may have been rumored ahead of launch, with two potential upgrades just leaked.

First, it’s possible that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will support satellite communications in some form. This comes from a report from ETNews, which states that Samsung is partnering with global satellite communications company Iridium to offer this feature on the Galaxy S23 series.

While Iridium is capable of voice and data communications, Samsung will reportedly limit the S23’s satellite technology to text messages and small images, as it can only fit a small antenna in the phone. This may sound restrictive, but it should be enough to help you reach contacts or emergency services without a cell phone signal.

Today’s other Samsung Galaxy S23 leaks specifically involve the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which reportedly has a screen brightness of 2,150 nits or more. The source is @RGcloudS, who made the claim on Twitter, but noted that due to further tweaks, the maximum brightness could be slightly different at launch — possibly even above 2,200 nits. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra maxes out at 1,750 nits, so this will be an upgrade that will help you see the screen clearly in bright sunlight. However, we would take this with a grain of salt, especially since the source doesn’t have much documentation yet.

Analysis: Match beats iPhone 14 Pro Max

The brightest smartphone screen on the planet right now is the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which can hit 2,000 nits, so if this leak is correct, Samsung will beat Apple and set a new record.

But if Samsung’s upcoming phone supports satellite communications, Samsung will also be competing with Apple, as the current iPhone 14 series is one of the very few phones with this feature. However, questions remain about how Samsung’s implementation will compare to Apple’s — if it does happen — and which will be better.

On the iPhone 14 series, you can only contact emergency services, which is currently only available in the US and Canada. So it remains to be seen whether Samsung will allow more general-purpose satellite communications, and in which regions of the world its services will be available.

Still, it’s great to see more companies exploring this idea, as it could be a life-saving feature that we hope to see on most of the best phones in the next few years.

Apple adds support for satellite SOS feature to iPhone 14 series

 Apple has announced that the iPhone 14 series can now use the satellite SOS feature. The company revealed the feature during its iOS 16 launch event, but it wasn’t ready at the time.

SOS via satellite on iPhone 14

Emergency SOS is available in the US and Canada for iOS 16.1 users for this year’s iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max series. Even if your phone isn’t connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi connection, you can use it to connect to emergency services. This is somewhat similar to what you can do with a Garmin inReach device.

If someone gets lost on a hike, or gets stranded on an island without food and water, they’ll be left to their own devices without help. Mental health can also be a challenge in dire situations. This could also be useful in the case of natural disasters that could disrupt internet and mobile networks. That’s why I think Apple’s satellite SOS feature is great.

iPhone 14 phones also support crash detection. When it detects a serious car crash, the phone displays prompts on the screen, and if the user doesn’t respond to those prompts, it assumes the person is unconscious and automatically calls emergency services and provides information about the location of the accident.

How does Satellite SOS work on iPhone 14?

Apple recommends that users try calling emergency services first, even if your regular network is unavailable. If you can’t reach them, your phone will give you an option to use an SOS signal via satellite. This allows you to send text messages to rescue services.

You can try out a demo of the feature on iPhone 14 through the Settings app without actually affecting emergency services. Go to the Emergency SOS section and click the Demo option.

It will guide you how to use the service. You need to hold the phone as usual. The only thing you need to make sure is a clear view of the sky, i.e. the connection to the satellite should not be blocked by trees, mountains, canyons or tall buildings. When you choose to text emergency services, the app displays a questionnaire with a variety of options to choose from, describing the nature of your emergency, injuries, and more. Once you provide this information, the phone shares your location, emergency contact information, and medical ID information with the dispatcher or relay center that relays the message to responders.

Keep in mind that in real life, sending text messages via satellite communication will be slow. You must open the Messaging app to text 911 or SOS and tap Emergency Services to provide the above details. Your emergency contacts will also receive your location information, as well as a transcript of your conversations with rescue services.

Share your location with Find My in non-emergency situations

Users not experiencing emergencies can use the Find My app to share their location via satellite service. Even if you don’t have regular internet access, it’s a great way to tell your loved ones where you are.

Apple‘s press release mentions that the SOS satellite service will be available in France, Germany, Ireland and the UK in December. The article also points out that the first 2 years of service for the iPhone 14 series are free.

How to make Windows 11 easier to use on your tablet

 Windows has traditionally been designed for mice and keyboards, but Microsoft has taken steps to change that in recent years. Windows 8’s tile-based interface is easy to use on touchscreen devices, even if the design isn’t popular overall. Windows 10 then introduced a dedicated tablet mode independent of the rest of the operating system.

It was ditched with the introduction of Windows 11, but don’t let that make you think Microsoft has forgotten about tablets and touchscreen laptops — quite the opposite. If you’re familiar with some key features and settings, the experience is now better than ever on Windows.

Here are six ways you can ensure the best touch experience on Windows 11.

Customize the on-screen keyboard

Without a physical keyboard, you’ll rely on the on-screen equivalent when you need to type. It’s worth taking the time to make it look the way you like it.

Head to Settings > Personalization > Text Input. The first option you’ll see is to choose a theme – there are 15 presets, or you can create a custom theme. From here, you can also change the size of the keyboard itself and the text displayed on it. It can’t be customized, but the text entry page also reminds you that there are dedicated keyboard buttons for emoji and voice input.

Add one-touch keyboard and touchpad buttons

The on-screen keyboard appears every time you can type, but it’s not perfect. It is useful to have a button in the taskbar that can be called up at any time. It’s also worth adding virtual touchpad buttons when touch-based navigation doesn’t work well. Go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and scroll down to the “System Tray Icons” subheading. Click the switches next to Touch Keyboard and Virtual Touchpad to turn them on.

Turn on the touch indicator

The cursor can indicate very clearly where you’re clicking, but it’s not always obvious when using a touchscreen device. Microsoft has a solution in the form of a “touch indicator”, which displays a small circle on the screen where you just tapped.

It used to be enabled automatically, but Windows 11’s 22H2 update turned it off by default. To turn it back on, just head to Settings > Accessibility > Mouse Pointer and touch, then click the switch next to Touch Indicator to turn it on. If you want to make it more visible, click the box next to “Darker and bigger circle.”

Auto hide the taskbar

In general, Windows 11 tablets have smaller displays than laptops. This means less screen space can be used, so you probably don’t want the taskbar to take up a lot of space. There’s also a potential problem with launching apps and settings when you don’t want them to.

Both of these problems can be solved by setting the taskbar to automatically hide when not in use. If you need access at any time, just click on the usual location. To turn it on, just go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar. Scroll down to “Taskbar Behavior” and check the box next to “Auto-hide the taskbar.”

Using Snap Layouts

Snap Layouts is one of Windows 11’s best features, allowing you to seamlessly bring two or more windows together on your monitor. It also doesn’t require a trackpad or mouse.

Instead of hovering over, just press and hold the top of a window and drag it towards the top of the screen. You should now see a version of Snap Layouts appear – just select one and add another window as usual.

Learn Navigation Gestures

Both Android and iOS have embraced gestures in recent years, and Windows 11 is now following suit.

The 22H2 update adds 5 new ones worth being familiar with. A one-finger swipe up from the middle of the taskbar brings up the Start menu, while a right-to-left swipe moves between Pinned and All Apps or Recommended and More. Likewise, swipe up with one finger from the bottom right corner of the taskbar to open the Quick Settings menu. Swiping in from the right edge to bring up the Notification Center is now also smoother

If you’re using an app or game in full-screen mode, swiping from either edge will pop up a gripper to prevent you from accidentally leaving the app. To do this, you need to swipe again. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg of Windows 11 gestures. In Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Touchpad, you can fully customize the three- and four-finger gestures to your liking.

How to AirPlay to Apple TV

 If you know how to AirPlay to Apple TV, you can enjoy content from your iPhone on a bigger screen.

When you know how to use AirPlay to play Apple TV, you can start thinking about how to take advantage of this powerful feature. For starters, you can use it to display what’s on your iPhone or iPad screen without passing it. You can also switch from watching videos on your iPhone to watching on a larger screen.

Here, we’ll show you how to do both while exploring how to stream AirPlay audio to Apple TV as well. It’s really easy to do and requires almost no setup other than making sure your iPhone and Apple TV are on the same network. All that’s left is a case of pressing a few buttons to start and stop.

How to connect to Apple TV via AirPlay: Connect to Wi-Fi

First, make sure your iPhone and Apple TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

1. On your iPhone, launch the Settings app and tap Wi-Fi, then turn on the Wi-Fi button and select a network.

2. On Apple TV, launch the Settings app, scroll down and click Network, then select Wi-Fi and select Network.

How to AirPlay Apple TV: Screen Mirroring

Here we will mirror your iPhone screen on Apple TV using AirPlay. But be warned: anything you do on your iPhone screen will show up on the TV connected to your Apple TV device, so be careful opening any private apps like banking or social media while mirroring is active.

1. Swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to open Control Center (unless you have a TouchID iPhone, in which case swipe up from the bottom edge).

2. Now tap the Screen Mirroring icon.

3. Select your Apple TV from the menu.

4. Tap anywhere outside the menu box to return to Control Center and use your iPhone normally. All your actions will be reflected on Apple TV.

5. To end the session, launch Control Center again and tap the Screen Mirroring icon.

How to Play Apple TV via AirPlay: Streaming Audio

If you’re playing music on your iPhone and want to listen to it on your TV, you can also AirPlay the song to your Apple TV. If your TV has good speakers, this may be better than using headphones or your iPhone’s speakers.

1. You have two options. You can play songs in the Music app on iPhone or from other places. In the latter case, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to open Control Center (unless you have a TouchID iPhone, in which case swipe up from the bottom edge).

2. Now tap the AirPlay icon.

3. Now select Apple TV from the device list and the song will start playing on your TV.

4. To stop playing on Apple TV, just select your iPhone again.

Go ahead. You now know how to stream Apple TV via AirPlay.

The fastest way to force restart your Mac if it freezes

 If your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro freezes completely and you don’t know what to do next, you might consider force restarting your Apple laptop. Often used as a last resort, a force restart is probably the fastest (and only) option to get your Mac up and running again. Let’s take a look below!

How to quickly force restart your Mac

Before taking this extreme, try restarting your Mac the classic way: click the Apple symbol in the upper-left corner of the screen and select Restart. If necessary, you can also force shut down your Mac by holding down the power button until your Mac shuts down.

If these methods don’t work for you, or your screen and cursor are stuck and you can’t select anything, try the force restart options below.

1. Press and hold the Command and Control keys with the power button.

The power button is also a Touch ID‌ / eject button, depending on the Mac model.

2. Your Mac screen should dim and your Mac should restart.

3. Log in to your computer and continue using it normally.

Note: On the 2018 MacBook Air and the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, the power button doubles as the Touch ID button in the upper right corner of the keyboard. On any MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar, it’s the “Touch ID” surface to the right of the Touch Bar.

What happens when you force restart?

Force restart is a quick solution to get your computer back to normal. Before you force restart your MacBook, rest assured that this process won’t wipe your computer’s data. It just restarts your device. However, when you force restart, you may lose unsaved changes in open documents, as your Mac will shut down completely. The screen will go black and when the machine restarts you will have to log back into your account.

How to Force Quit Apps on Mac

If an application you’re using freezes and your Mac is otherwise fine, try force-quitting the application instead of your laptop. You can hold down the Option (⌥) key, then right-click the problematic application icon in the Dock and select Force Quit. Or you can press all three keys at the same time: Option, Command, and Escape. The Force Quit window will open. Select the app you want to quit, then click Force Quit. You can also access the Force Quit panel from the Apple menu in the corner of the screen.

Honor Magic Vs: what we know so far

 The Honor Magic Vs, the successor to the Honor Magic V foldable phone, is about to land; leaks suggest it could make the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 really worth the money.

Honor itself has revealed some images of the Magic Vs, and in addition to that, a few other details have been leaked. Below you’ll find everything we’ve seen so far, including a confirmed release date for the Honor Magic Vs.

Honor Magic Vs release date and price

The Honor Magic Vs will be unveiled on November 23, so it’s fast. It will be in Chinese, but there will be “simultaneous interpretation in English”, a spokesman said. The launch event will begin on November 22 at 10:30 PM PT or on November 23 at 1:30 AM ET / 6:30 AM GMT / 5:30 PM AEDT.

The launch was for China only, but speaking to tech advisors, an Honor spokesperson confirmed that the Magic Vs will launch globally in the first quarter of 2023 — that is, sometime between early January and the end of March. That said, while the company has previously said the phone will be coming to Europe, they haven’t specified which European countries it’ll be available in — nor whether it’ll be available in the US or Australia. Although a US launch is unlikely.

There’s no word on how much it might cost, but the original Honor Magic V – which didn’t go global, was priced at 9,999 yen, so the Honor Magic Vs could have a similar price, although the conversion is unlikely to be accurate in any case.

Honor Magic with news and leaks

From here you can tell it looks a lot like the Honor Magic V or the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, with a large foldable display that opens up like a tablet as wide, or folds up to let you have more Smartphone-sized device. You can see a hole-punch camera on the foldable display, as well as a gold frame that may be made of metal. However, other colors may also be available.

When the phone is closed, you have access to a large secondary screen, as well as what looks like a triple-lens camera. As you can see below, the Honor Magic Vs is “ultra-thin”. The source also said that this will be the lightest foldable phone with this design.

In addition to that, we can see in the sketches a triple-lens camera on the back and a secondary screen with a hole-punch camera, when the main display is folded closed, like we’ve seen further in the official images The place. The sketch also mentions a 5,000mAh battery, which is quite a size for a foldable phone — 600mAh more than the Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the Magic Vs will break the battery life record for such a foldable phone. The same sketch was also shared on Chinese social network Weibo by a leaker dubbed Panda Bald, who also claimed that the Honor Magic Vs offers 66W charging and weighs 261g.

That’s all we’ve heard so far, but we can speculate that the Honor Magic Vs will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, since the Magic V is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Given how similar the upcoming phone is to the older phone in the official image above, some other specs may be similar as well. So, we’re likely to get a roughly 7.9-inch OLED main display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a roughly 6.45-inch OLED secondary display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and three 50MP cameras on the back. However, this is just speculation for now.

Your Samsung Galaxy S22 just got a cool new gesture — here’s how to use it

  If you’re confused as to why you don’t know how to use the back key on your Samsung Galaxy phone, that’s okay. It’s not actually a standard feature, but it’s easy to download via the Samsung app and set up to your liking.

The back gesture has been around for a while on other phones like the iPhone and Google Pixel, but Samsung just got into the action with the help of its Good Lock app. It works similar to what iOS offers, letting you set up two different commands depending on whether you double-tap or triple-tap the back of the best Samsung phones. Follow the instructions below and you’ll be setting up double-tap and triple-tap functionality on your Galaxy in no time.

You’ll need a Samsung phone running One UI 5, the company’s version of Android 13. Currently only available on all Galaxy S22 models.

It may also work on Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy A53, A33 and A73 models depending on your location and/or mobile provider. Samsung should be rolling out One UI 5 to more phones in the coming months, so if you can’t enable back tap yet, check out this how-to.

You’ll also need Good Lock, an app from the Galaxy Store. You may already have this app installed, but if you don’t already, we’ll start our steps by installing this app on your phone.

1. Install Good Lock from the Galaxy Store app. This is a Samsung-made app with many optional software features that you can enable and disable as separate modules. If you’re interested in adding more to your Galaxy, it’s worth diving into it.

2. Open Good Lock after installation and select the Life Up header from the bottom. Then scroll down to find the RegiStar module and click the download button on the right.

3. Click the blue install button to install it on your phone. Give it a few seconds to download.

4. Now that RegiStar is installed, open it from the Good Lock screen where you found it. You’ll see this menu where you now need to press Back-Tap.

5. Now it’s time to set the post-tap! First, use the switch at the top to turn it on.

6. Next, tap a double tap or triple tap to set one of the preset commands.

7. Select any command from this list that you think might be useful. For example, I set a double-click to open the recently used application interface, which is convenient for switching tasks.

8. Before leaving this menu, decide if you want to enable event detection notifications.

When you use back, this displays a small popup (close-up below) at the bottom center of the display, which helps remind you if you accidentally double-tap or triple-tap and the phone starts doing an unexpected action when the feature is active .

9. Now you can try the feature yourself. As you can see in the GIF below, by double-tapping the back of the phone, I can toggle the recent apps screen on and off without touching the screen. Of course, you may get different results depending on the function you selected in step 5.

The OnePlus 11 just announced three major upgrades — including a ceramic design

 We’ve already heard that the OnePlus 11 will feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset straight from OnePlus, but according to a reliable source, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what we can expect from the company’s next flagship smartphone. The OnePlus 11 will benefit from three major upgrades, if reliable leaker Digital Chat Station is to be believed.

The OnePlus 11 could get 16GB of RAM

While the OnePlus 10 Pro is barely underpowered in the RAM department with 12GB of RAM, the OnePlus 11 will apparently hit 16GB. This puts it in line with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and OnePlus 10T.

UFS 4.0: Why does it matter?

Also on the table is an upgrade to UFS (Universal Flash Memory) 4.0. This would make the OnePlus 11 one of the first phones to feature it, and it should offer major improvements in speed and efficiency.

UFS 3.1 has read and write speeds of up to 2,100MB/s and 1,200MB/s, respectively, while UFS 4.0 boosts it to 4,200MB/s and 2,800MB/s, respectively. It can also reach speeds of 23.2Gbps per lane, twice as fast as its predecessor. You can also expect a 46% increase in efficiency, which means longer battery life.

OnePlus 11 may have a ceramic body

Finally, Digital Chat Station says the OnePlus 11 will feature a metal frame and a ceramic body. OnePlus is no stranger to this, using it on special editions of both 2015’s OnePlus X and last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro.

Note, however, that the last tip is controversial. The well-informed Max Jambor popped up on Twitter, saying that the ceramic body didn’t happen after all. Although he does support the UFS 4.0 statement – which is more important in the larger plan.

Speaking of Jambor, the leaker also does a good job of explaining why these good-sounding updates are coming to the OnePlus 11 and not the OnePlus 11 Pro: thanks to the simplified rebranding, they’re the same.
