Samsung Flow Lets You Seamlessly Transfer Whatever You Re Doing On One Samsung Device To Another

Called Flow, this new app can be seen as Samsung’s answer to Apple’s Continuity feature as it lets you easily continue on our tablet what you were doing on your smartphone, or the other way around. So, by using the new platform, you could for example start an email on your phone, and finish it on your tablet or computer.

Snapdragon 690 Vs Snapdragon 765G Battle Of The Affordable 5G Chips

The Snapdragon 865, though, is a flagship SoC and Qualcomm wanted to make 5G accessible to mid-range smartphone users too, and hence they launched the Snapdragon 765G earlier this year. However, phones with that chipset haven’t made their way to the Indian market yet probably because the hardware itself is expensive and 5G, as we mentioned earlier, will need at least 2-3 years to commercially roll-out. The upcoming OnePlus Nord or OnePlus Z is expected to be the first smartphone in India with the Snapdragon 765G but we need to wait....

This Free Chrome Extension Automatically Skips To The Actual Song In A Youtube Music Video

It’s called Skipper. And I genuinely believe it’s the most intuitive Chrome extension I’ve come across in the last year, at least. Skipper essentially scrubs the unnecessary sections of a particular music video. It does so by referring to an always updating database. Hence, whenever you play a track on YouTube, it checks from where the actual song begins and automatically jumps to it at the beginning. In addition to that, Skipper can skip the ending as well so you don’t face any interruptions while listening to a playlist....
