It's on: workers from a Samsung Electronics union have declared a general strike!The first day of July 2024 brings tension in South Korea as Samsung Electronics' union announces its workers will strike until its requests for enhanced compensation and additional time off were addressed.

The NSEU represents approximately 28,000 members, which constitute more than 20% of the company's workforce.

Movie director Steven Soderbergh's new movie "Unsane" was released at a film festival in Berlin on Wednesday. The film, which is a psychological thriller, was completely shot using an Apple iPhone. The director, known for movies such as "Ocean's Eleven" and "Magic Mike," was able to complete the new movie in just two weeks, about half the time it would have taken to shoot the movie using a conventional camera. Since the film was shot last summer, we can safely assume that an Apple iPhone 7 or Apple iPhone 7 Plus was used.

Smartphones are not just miniature computers within easy reach in your pocket at all times - they also have capable cameras that in many occasions can replace a dedicated point-and-shoot camera. The best camera is the one you have with you after all.But if you want to take smartphone photography skills to the next level, you might want to get a couple of accessories to reveal the camera’s true potential. The first and most obvious ones might be tripod mounting systems, but there is much more than that.

10 years is an eternity in the world of smartphones (and technology in general). Thus, although we don’t have a special occasion for this, we decided to take a look at some of the greatest smartphones introduced 10 year ago - not just to see how far we’ve come, but also to take a moment and appreciate the precursors of the awesome handsets that we own today. Back in 2004, we didn’t have Android and iOS, the two platforms that dominate the smartphone market now.

Without a doubt, the Apple iPhone is one of the best smartphones around. It is fast, beautiful, reliable, and functional. When it comes to durability, however, tough to crack or scratch it is not. That's why a huge fraction of all iPhones end up in a protective case of some kind. And protective iPhone cases come in all shapes, colors, and sizes – some are thick and tough, others are thin and feather-light.

Quite a few Motorola DROID X owners are very proud of their handset and see no point in buying a different phone in the foreseeable future. For this loyal bunch, a new update - version 2.3.340 (don't be confused, this is still Froyo) - is now available. It remedies some bugs (for example, the handset remains locked after long key presses and the "Force Close" camera error is a thing of the past), improves some existing features (for example Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync) and adds a few more goodies - like pre-loaded Flash Player 10.

Well, well, well, Samsung may move the infamous Galaxy S8/Note 8 finger scanner underneath the camera lens for the Galaxy S9 indeed, if a leaked screenshot, allegedly detailing how to measure your heart rhythm in the S Health app is to be believed. As you can see in the grab, Samsung's heart rate sensor that is used in conjunction with the S Health app, is positioned next to the camera on one yet-to-be-revealed handset, while the notorious elliptical fingerprint reader of the Galaxy S8 and Note 8 is situated way below, and under the camera.
