| Samsung is building its own version of AirDrop called Quick Share - Engadget Posted: 24 Jan 2020 04:40 AM PST Sponsored Links Samsung is working on an AirDrop rival called Quick Share for its Galaxy phones, according to XDA Developers. The publication was able to obtain a copy of the feature's APK from a source who reportedly has a Galaxy S20+ 5G, if that is indeed the phone's official name, so Quick Share might launch with Samsung's next flagships. Just like AirDrop, it will give you an easy way to transfer files between two Galaxy phones. You'll also able to choose whether to allow only your contacts to share files with you or to allow everyone nearby to send you memes, videos and other things. You'll also be able to use Quick Share to stream files to supported SmartThings devices. To do so, it first has to temporarily upload files to Samsung Cloud and then stream them to a SmartThings device -- take note, though, that this feature seems to be limited to 1GB per send for a total of up to 2GB per day. Since Samsung has yet to officially announce the feature, it's still unclear if it will also make its way to older phones. We might find out on February 11th at a Galaxy Unpacked event where the tech giant is expected to unveil its next flagship devices.   94 |
| Tinder adds panic button to save users from dangerous dates - Fox News Posted: 24 Jan 2020 07:10 AM PST  BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 05: The Logo of location-based social search mobile app Tinder is displayed on a smartphone on October 05, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Thomas Trutschel/Photothek via Getty Images) (Thomas Trutschel/Photothek via Getty Images) Date from hell? Tinder claims it's got your back. The popular hookup app says its adding a panic button to help protect users from frightening situations by keeping tabs on their meetings times and locations as they go about their dates — and summoning the authorities if called. The new opt-in feature will be offered through a partnership with safety app Noonlight and will be free to use, the company said on Thursday. Match Group, which owns Tinder, will not have access to any location information gathered by Noonlight. When a date is scheduled, the user will be able to share details about the meetup with Noonlight, who will to track the user's location in real-time using their phone's GPS. If a user triggers the panic button, they will receive a text from Noonlight prompting them to enter a code. If they don't enter the code, they receive a call confirming they need assistance. If they confirm that they need help, or if they don't pick up, Noonlight summons authorities to the user's location. The panic button comes after a British man was convicted in November of strangling a backpacker he met on Tinder and then dumping her body in the woods — but not before taking trophy pics of the corpse, prosecutors said. "You should run a dating business as if you are a mom," Mandy Ginsberg, CEO of Match Group, told the Journal. "I think a lot about safety, especially on our platforms, and what we can do to curtail bad behavior. There are a lot of things we tell users to do. But if we can provide tools on top of that, we should do that as well." Twitter users on Thursday expressed skepticism, however, that the feature will work better than calling 911. "Why not just leave or call 911? Don't go someplace sketchy for a Tinder date," one person commented. "This feels very dark and complicated," another Twitter user wrote. Lifestyle blog The Cut also noted that there could be privacy tradeoffs with the app because it tracks location — although Ginsberg told the Journal that location data won't be used for marketing purposes.

| Posted: 24 Jan 2020 05:30 AM PST  It's no secret that Samsung is working on a second foldable which is expected to feature a clamshell hinge, just like the new Motorola Razr. We've already heard through the grapevine that the handset will feature a glass screen and 5G compatibility. New leaks published by Max Weinbach of XDA Developers shed more light on the phone's specs and what to expect from the Galaxy Z Flip.
There's been some uncertainty about the phone's camera, with initial rumors mentioning a 108MP sensor, while further leaks talked about a more standard 12MP camera. Max Weinbach confirms the latter, with new information revealing the Galaxy Z Flip should feature a 12MP wide-angle main shooter together with another 12MP ultra-wide sensor. He also confirmed the device will feature "Samsung Ultra Thin Glass", mentioning there will still be a dreaded visible crease, just as with plastic. It will protect a 6.7" Dynamic AMOLED panel with a 20:9 ratio. As the Z Flip is a clamshell phone, it will feature a front display. Its size should be about 1", although some information mentioned a size of just 0.1". The latter seems to be a typo, as a screen that small is not realistic, especially since the outer screen is supposed to work as a viewfinder when taking selfies with the rear camera, as well as showing battery and charging information. The rest of the specs include 15W wireless charging, with support for reverse wireless charging, just like on Samsung's current flagships. Finally, the processor is expected to be a Snapdragon 855+, but there's no confirmation whether this SoC will be exclusive to North America or available globally. |
