Galaxy Tab S7 promo gives bad BTS drawing advice

If you want to learn how to draw BTS with an S Pen, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7 advertisements unsurprisingly aren’t the place to do it. They aren’t bad for inspiration, though, as evidenced by a new promo that just went live in Korea. The video that you can see below shows a sped up, hacky process of drawing BTS. The issue is that it relies on tracing, which is super easy to do on a tablet, of course, but isn’t an experience you are likely to learn...

Us fans of Samsung and its foldables are asking Apple to do better

Samsung’s biggest rival in the mobile industry, Apple, will hold an iPhone launch event by the end of the year, but unless the company has a spectacular ‘one more thing‘ moment up its sleeve, it’s highly unlikely for it to reveal any fresh products aside from a new iPhone model. For reasons unknown, Apple has yet to jump on the foldable bandwagon and we can be almost certain this won’t change at the next keynote. This is both good and bad news...
