THX spatial audio is coming to smartphones
[ad_1] I got to try a quick demo spatial audio on the ZMBIZI smartphone using the just-announced Panda headphones from Drop and THX.

Activating spatial audio removed a […]

There’s been concerns that TikTok’s ownership might leave it susceptible to […]
TikTok-owner ByteDance reportedly built a deepfake maker
[ad_1] On one hand, the feature could be seen as a natural evolution of other face swapping tech. On the other hand, it could have some very unpleasant repercussions. We’ve already seen how deepfake technology can be used for harm, so making the tech more accessible seems like a bad idea. As TechCrunch points out, […]
High rollers: Tell us all about your Galaxy Fold!
[ad_1] Engadget gave the Galaxy Fold a passable, but not outstanding, score of 70 due to its ongoing durability concerns, the limited usability of the outer screen and the unpolished software.

[ad_1] Meanwhile, the Note 10 Lite’s display slots in between the Note 10 and Note 10+’s 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch screens. However, the biggest difference between all the displays is that the screens of the two Lite phones are lower resolution 1080p panels, instead of QHD panels like on Samsung’s flagships. Combined with their massive 4,500mAh […]
