The smartphone will have a quad-camera setup on the rear which will have a 64 MP primary sensor along with a 12MP ultra-wide and 5MP macro shooter. 

The fourth camera in the setup will be used for depth. While the rear camera setup is good, the front gets a 32MP selfie camera. The phone will be placed in the premium mid-range segment and is sure to give tough competition to other brands. Apart from that, Samsung has also announced the new OneUI watch software that has been made in partnership with Google and will replace the OS for all the Galaxy smartwatches in the future.

A lot of details have started leaking out on the internet for both Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 recently. Now official renders of both the smartphones have been leaked on Twitter by a tipster which gives us a brief idea about the design of the smartphones.

As per the renders, it could be made out that the smartphone design may allow the support for S Pen, which is almost a certainty and would also have a triple camera setup on the rear. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 also seems to be a lot slimmer than the Fold 2 and has a better bezel design as well. The Flip 3 on the other side seems to come with a dual-camera setup as the main camera and the body gets a dual-tone finish with a metal and glass body construction. 

These renders are meant to be the promotional images for both smartphones, therefore, they will be the final design for both devices. Recently, the company has also ordered a large production of these devices before they will be actually released, which hints that the company is expecting a large number of sales for both smartphones. The only thing that is left is the official announcement from Samsung regarding the launch of the devices.

For users, Signing up to a website or a new platform includes the tiresome process of filling out all the details and forms to finally get their account set up. However, Google does provide the users an easy option to log in using their Google account directly into any website and app. It avoids the long process of filling out all the information from the users as all the details are taken from the Google account. 

The same process is also used by many popular websites over the internet which allows users to log in to the platform simply using the Google account. Now it seems that even Twitter is going to add the same option for the users. App investigation, Jane Wong has confirmed that Twitter is finally going to enable the Google account integration, allowing the users to log in with the Google account. 

The investigator has also shared a screenshot for the same where along with the Login and Sign up option, one can also see the “Continue with Google” option. Now this will allow the users to integrate their Google account with their existing Twitter account or Sign up entirely for a new account using their Google account. The process still seems to be under development so it might take weeks or months before it is publically released for users. It is definitely a lot more convenient for the users, especially when it is not easy to remember the password for the account. Let’s expect Twitter to roll out the feature as soon as possible.
