With its premium specs, gorgeous high refresh-rate screen and top-of-the-line multicamera setup, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a beast and has all the features you could want in a phone. But it’s pricey, originally starting at $1,300 (£1,179 and AU$1,999) even though Samsung has now discounted it to $1,100 a month after release. Meanwhile, …

Facebook said Monday that people who make video calls on Messenger or use its videoconferencing tool Messenger Rooms will be able to watch videos together with their friends and family on their smartphones in real time.  Facebook users can select videos and shows to view through the social network’s video hub, known as Facebook Watch. The feature, called Watch Together, …

Zoom’s videoconferencing apps have become essential for some schools and businesses looking to stay connected during the pandemic, but the company’s rise has also seen it dealing with security challenges. In a bid to make its service more secure, Zoom Video Communications on Thursday began expanding support for two-factor authentication for logging in to its platform.  As detailed in a …

I love cheap solutions to real problems. If you’re using your phone or tablet for Zoom meetings or other video calls, for example, you’ve no doubt discovered the need for some kind of stand. You’ve probably also discovered that the camera ends up too low, shooting at an unflattering upward angle. Problem solved for a sawbuck: For a limited time, …

I’ve been using the P40 Pro — the middle child of the three — and have been putting …

Update, Aug. 17, 2021: Google has unveiled the Pixel 5A with 5G, which we have reviewed. Original story follows. Google revealed the Pixel 4A earlier this month, a new budget phone that will sit alongside the Pixel 4A 5G and the Pixel 5.

Samsung is doing something different this year. While the Note line has historically been where the tech giant showcases its cutting-edge technology, it’s now become more of an alternative, rather than a improvement upon, the S20 line. The new Note 20 Ultra has the same sized 6.9-inch display as the S20 Ultra, a smaller battery and even costs $100 less. …

Take a look at the photo above and what do you see? Two Galaxy Note phones for power users that cost $1,000 or more, with a stylus to wield as a navigation tool, digital pen and more. You see immediate differences, too — camera mounts that look wildly different and finishes that aren’t quite the same. That’s exactly how Samsung …
