    What features does the Galaxy Watch 4 offer?

    The standard Galaxy Watch 4 features a contemporary design, with brushed aluminium lugs that extend to encapsulate the black polished metal body of the watch, while the Classic sports more conventional timepiece styling (similar to the Galaxy Watch 3), with a stainless steel body and – most prominently – a physical rotating bezel for interaction.


    Depending on whether you opt for the smaller or larger-bodied version of either Watch 4, you can expect a 1.19in or 1.36in circular AMOLED display that sports a pixel density of 330ppi.

    The BioActive Sensor branding that relates to the overarching fitness hardware inside the Watch 4 now extends to the two physical buttons on the watch's right side. While the top button serves as a home key and the bottom a back key, soft-pressing both after tapping 'Measure' on the new Body Composition app lets the Watch 4 get a read on things like your body's water retention, bone density and BMI.

    Samsung says blood oxygen reading can now take place passively, while the Wath 4 tracks your sleep and functionality like the ECG – first seen on the Watch Active 2 – which took time to reach approval in various markets around the world, should be available to users from the get-go (in markets where previous Galaxy Watches had already received approval – Samsung suggests this includes nearly 40 regions).

    Back in mid-May at Google I/O 2021, Google officially revealed that it was teaming up with Samsung to fuse Wear OS and Tizen OS into a single platform, which Samsung then confirmed would be powering its next Galaxy Watches; pulling in additional wellness and fitness features supplied by the now Google-owned Fitbit.

    Following the Watch 4's announcement, the Korean company was quick to highlight that Wear OS as it appears on the Watch 4 Series is 'Wear OS Powered by Samsung', which doesn't reflect the experience as it might appear on forthcoming wearables from other manufacturers that choose to adopt this latest Wear OS release.

    Samsung's take, which it calls One UI Watch, embraces much of what made Tizen (which ran on its previous Galaxy Watches) so approachable; like interaction by rotation (using the physical bezel on the Classic or the digital haptic alternative on the standard Watch 4), while Wear OS means the Google Play Store and experiences like Google Maps and Google Pay can now be accessed and can leverage the Watch 4's hardware.

    According to Samsung, this latest silicon promises “1.25x faster processing times compared to the Exynos 9110” and “8.8x smoother graphics performance.” 1.5GB of RAM and double the storage (16GB up from 8GB on the Watch 4's predecessor) also features, while longevity should be greatly improved too, with Samsung quoting 40 hours of wear per charge across the Watch 4 line.

DJI OM 5

  The DJI OM 5 follows on from the five-star   OM 4   with a slick new design and a built-in extension rod, giving the well-respected smartphone gimbal line full-blown selfie stick functionality. And that’s all despite the fact it’s smaller and lighter than any of its predecessors – surely there's a catch? Indeed, it’s got a smaller battery, no power bank functionality and it’s a tad fiddlier. Still, it extends, which will be a crucial feature for many. youtube full video link  https://youtu.be/RXgCpwOQnhU The first eye-catching aspect of the OM 5 is its look and feel. If the  Osmo Mobile 3  and DJI OM 4 look like angry Autobots, the DJI OM 5 looks like it was heavily inspired by a pair of  Bang & Olufsen headphones . Available in Sunset White and Athens Grey, even the colors look more luxurious than last year’s industrial grey options.  amazon discount price link       https://amzn.to/3mUpD5J Like the OM 4, DJI’s...

OnePlus node CE 3 lite

Image
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has been announced amid a swirl of rumours that the brand would soon be withdrawing from the UK and European markets. As part of the reveal, OnePlus reiterated its stance that it has no such plans so, for the moment at least, it looks as if the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G won’t be the last OnePlus device to grace our shores. Hitting the right balance with a Lite model can be a tricky feat, and brands don’t often know which corners to cut in order to hit a lower price. There’s still time for OnePlus to fall into this trap with the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G but first impressions paint an optimistic picture, with a bigger display, better fast charging and a massive 108MP main camera helping to justify a small price increase. OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G hands-on review: Key specifications 6.72in, 120Hz, 1,080 x 2,400 LCD display Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G 128GB of storage Rear cameras: 108MP (f/1.75), 2MP depth, 2MP macro Selfie camera: 16MP 5,000mAh batte...

  Microsoft has finally announced its Surface Go 3 tablet. Once again, it comes in with a 10.5 inch screen, and it’s the little sibling to the Surface Pro series. It’s also the entry-level point to the Surface lineup, starting at $399.99. There’s not a whole lot that’s new this year, partly because the second-generation model saw some visual changes, such as a larger screen.
