Samsung Gear S3 update lets you answer calls by rotating bezel

-

A new update has started rolling out to the Samsung Gear S3. Weighing in at around 13.6MB, the update arrives as version R770XXU2CRE3 and R760XXU2CRE3 for the frontier and classic variants, respectively.

The main new feature is the option to answer calls by rotating the bezel.

The feature is enabled by default, and you need to rotate (clockwise) the bezel twice in order to accept a call. Also, early adopters say it has been already available in some regions for a while now.

Specs comparison: Galaxy M30s vs. Galaxy M40

-
The Galaxy M40 is currently Samsung's top-of-the-line M series model. It is, however, not the best device in the online-exclusive lineup as we noted in our review. The Korean company has made some weird component choices with the M40, making it objectively worse than some of the lower-priced models in certain aspects.The Galaxy M30 was already a better device than the M40 in some key areas, but with the launch of the Galaxy M30s, the positioning of the M40 looks even more unimpressive. As you can see in the comparison below, barring the speedier chipset and the resultant performance gains, the M40 doesn't really offer anything better than the M30s in terms of raw specs.Of course, Samsung would like you to believe the M40's punch-hole display is a major differentiating factor, but we doubt many customers would be willing to trade the M30s massive battery, Super AMOLED panel, or the higher-resolution primary camera for that. In our opinion, the only reasons why anyone should…

Samsung highlights how to care for your Galaxy Fold in new video

-
With the launch of the "redesigned" Galaxy Fold comes a new YouTube video from Samsung. Unlike the company's most other promotional videos that generally go live after a new product launch, the latest one focuses mainly on highlighting how customers should care for their newly-acquired Galaxy Folds.Samsung's first foldable device earned a bit of a bad reputation early on, and readers must know the entire backstory by now. The first sample units had a protective film covering the foldable panel, which gave most early reviewers the wrong impression that it can be removed. And removed it was, by a lot of reviewers who found out the hard way that the protective layer was, in fact, a vital component of the screen. In other cases, the fairly large gaps between the foldable screen's edges and hinge mechanism allowed foreign objects to infiltrate the device and wreak havoc to the foldable panel from the inside.Samsung not only changed key aspects of the device before its…
