For now, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is far away from launch in the smartphone market, but the details of the phone have started coming in. The new details focus more on the price of the smartphone which is going to make it one of the costliest phones from Samsung. The details that have been leaked hints that the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 could be priced at more than $2000. The phone would be exactly the same in terms of design when we compare it with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 but will certainly have new features, optimizations, and improvements over the previous generation. 

This also seems to fit the current goal of the company where they are not working on making the phones cheaper but making them feature-rich. Samsung has been consistently trying to make the user experience better and much more engaging than before, due to which they have been adding a lot of new and unique features both to the hardware and software. It is the main reason why recent smartphones have been priced heavily.

Also, since there is very little competition in the foldable phone market, it does not make any sense for Samsun to lower down its price. However, in the next couple of years, we will be seeing foldable phones from Xiaomi, LG, Apple, and more, which can lead the giant to make the phones cost a bit less. But for now, it seems that the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 would be crossing the $2000 mark for sure.

Google Pay was launched initially to help users with online payment. However, the company has recently launched a newer version of the app and includes a lot of new different features as well. The aim of Google was to make Google Pay a multitasking app, rather than a simple payment app. Google has also planned to stop the payment feature in its old version for all American users. American users of the old version of the Google Pay app will not be able to do transactions or send and receive payment from January 2021.

The announcement of the new version of the payment apps was done just a few weeks back and it was released in the US market last week along with a new version of other Google apps like Gmail, Google Photos, and others. Google has also introduced a 1.5% fee when users transfer money from Google Pay using a debit card. However, this fee is not a global rollout and is only applicable in the US. Since the app integrates with the bank account, it is widely used by people to make transactions and make payments.

The payment has grown a lot from its initial services and has added a lot of new options for users, including making donations to relief funds or any other charitable organization. Google has been looking to make Google Pay one of the primary apps for the users in case of a transaction, which would also help the users to properly utilize the Google ecosystem.

One of the accessories that Apple introduced in its event alongside the Apple iPhone 12 series were different covers and Apple’s Leather Sleeve. Apple’s Leather Sleeve was one of a kind accessory product from Apple which was made especially for the iPhone and to work with the MagSafe feature. The new Apple’s Leather Sleeve is out now and people have started to get the delivery for the same. However, the leather sleeve does come with a very hefty price tag when you compare it to any other accessory for iPhone 12 in the same segment. 

There have been Apple iPhone sleeves in the past but this one is unlike others. However, is the hefty price tag justified for the same? Apple sleeves come in different colors like red, Saddle Brown, Baltic Blue, and Citrus Pink. The sleeve is available for all four variants of the iPhone 12 series. The sleeve not only provides some level of protection but also provides a good grip in the hand and the premium Apple finish that you expect. Since the edges are reinforced, and there is a camera bump on the rear to save the camera unit in case of fall, you will always feel the security for your phone in case it falls. The sleeve has all the cutouts for the speaker and other buttons. 

Behind the sleeve is a compartment that can be used to hide a couple of cards or money. Apple also provides an additional lanyard for users who want one. It has a custom all-metal snap and is a great package overall when it comes to protection and MagSafe features. The leather sleeve also has an integrated NFC chip and can be read by the MagSafe NFC reader on iPhone 12. The front has a small opening where you can see the battery details, time, etc. So for more than $100, it might seem a bit expensive but it has certainly stepped up the game for this category.
