These Galaxy Z Fold 2 wallpapers are a reflection of its complex design

All that impressive engineering is hidden behind a glossy finish, a gorgeous cover display, and...

PSA: Galaxy S20 Fan Edition’s 3x zoom is ‘real’ and better in low light

The only thing more gimmicky than a 100x zoom feature is a 1.1x one, but that’s precisely how much optical magnification the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ had to offer. Luckily, the newly launched Galaxy S20 Fan Edition goes back to the basics by utilizing a lower-resolution telephoto camera that delivers a “real” 3x zoom. In other words: cheaper components and (likely) better image quality. At least in decent lighting conditions, which should...
