Samsung to Offer Higher Quality Photo Uploads on Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok: Report

Samsung has reportedly collaborated with social media platforms - Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok to improve the quality of pictures shot on the inbuilt camera of the social media apps. As per a report, the quality of photos will no longer see a drop when clicked via these apps. A large number of people use these apps to shoot photos and videos. However, the photos shot on these apps are of poor quality as compared to the photos shot using the phone's native camera app. According to tipster Ahmed Qwaider , Samsung is collaborating with the popular social media apps Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok to improve photo upload quality on its upcoming flagship series Galaxy S23. This collaboration will enhance the quality of photos shot on these apps via their inbuilt camera. Samsung's partnership with these apps will let users access the phone's native camera app on Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok as well. This will let users capture better-quality photos, the report suggests.

CES 2023: ’Qi2’ Next Generation Wireless Charging Standard Based on Apple’s MagSafe Announced

The global wireless charging standard, Qi, is getting a big upgrade this year in the form of Qi2 (pronounced ‘Chee Two'). At CES 2023, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) just unveiled the next generation global wireless charging standard which is based on Apple's MagSafe technology. Qi2 is built around a new Magnetic Power Profile that's designed to offer more efficient and quicker wireless charging. Qi2 certified phones and chargers are expected to arrive in the holiday season of 2023. Apple's MagSafe charging technology is pretty cool, but it's also limited to its own ecosystem of products and so far, it has received a lukewarm reception at best. With this technology now part of a more open and global standard, we should expect to see plenty more devices support magnetic wireless charging, from Android smartphones to TWS earphones, in 2023. More importantly, Qi2 chargers should also be more affordable compared to Apple's MagSafe products. The California te
