You can now take panoramas with the Galaxy S10’s ultra-wide camera

-

Samsung's recent Galaxy S10 update enables the use of the ultra-wide camera for panorama shots. Out of the box, the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ only let users use the ultra-wide camera for regular photos and videos; the ultra-wide lens was also used for background blur in Live Focus (bokeh) photos, but that was it. With the May update, Samsung added the option to take Night mode shots with the ultra-wide camera, and it turns out you can now take panorama pictures with the ultra-wide camera as well.

While an ultra-wide camera already lets you capture more of the world in a single shot, panoramas can be handy in some situations, and many users will likely find the option to use the ultra-wide camera in Panorama mode useful. The most obvious benefit here is that you can capture more vertical area, along with being able to capture more of your surroundings without moving the phone around as much as you would have to for panorama shots with the primary camera.

Here's a scene captured with the primary camera in Panorama mode:

And the same scene captured with the ultra-wide camera:

Sadly, the May update for the Galaxy S10 has some serious bugs for many users. While the camera improvements are nice to have, we hope Samsung is working on quickly bringing out a newer update that fixes all issues. The company has neither pulled the original update off the air nor offered any official statement on its issues, so the wait for that bug-fixing update may be a long one.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity.

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

-
Image
DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
