There is something very charming about film photos. This is because once they’re taken, you can’t just delete them. This is versus digital cameras where you can always delete photos you don’t like, and take as many as your memory card can hold. If you do love the feel of a printed photo but want the flexibility of a digital camera, Fujifilm has something for you.

The company has recently announced their new Instax Mini Evo camera printer hybrid. Now, Fujifilm is known for its Instax cameras that can take photos and print them on the spot. With the Instax Mini Evo, it combines features of a digital camera, such as the ability to preview photos, while also allowing users to print them as well.

Samsung has recently started the rollout of the One UI 4 update based on Android 12 to its Galaxy S21 phones. As the Galaxy S21 series is the company’s latest flagship lineup, it’s not surprising that it is amongst the first devices from the company to receive the much-awaited Android 12 update.

So that begs the question of when will Samsung’s other devices receive the update? According to Samsung’s website, they confirmed that the update will be coming to the Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, S20 FE, Note20, Note20 Ultra, S10, S10e, S10+, S10 5G, Note10, Note 10+, Galaxy Fold, Z Fold3, Z Flip3, Z Fold2, Z Flip, Z Flip 5G, Galaxy A82 5G, A72, A52, A52 5G, A52s 5G, A42 5G, and Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+, but said that it would only arrive at a later date.

As Netflix has to stream dozens of videos to millions of users a day, this takes up quite a bit of bandwidth, not just on the company’s end, but on the user’s end as well. To help ensure a smoother streaming process, the company has announced that they will be bringing its AV1 streaming codec onto select TVs and the PS4 Pro.

For those wondering why this is a good thing, it is because the AV1 codec not only allows users to stream higher-quality content with better compression, but also at the same bitrate as other formats. They also noticed during testing that they saw fewer noticeable drops in video quality during the streaming process.

These days, consoles are more than just about playing games. Because there are so many other devices and services to compete with, consoles need to be more than just a gaming machine to keep players invested in using it. This is why consoles these days have a lot more social features than before.

If you own the Nintendo Switch and want to be able to do more on the console than just play games, you’ll be interested to learn that the Twitch app is now available for the console. This means that if you want to take a break from playing games, you can use the Twitch app to watch video streams from some of your favorite streamers.

Companies like Sigma are known for creating relatively affordable third-party lenses for brands like Sony, Canon, Nikon, and so on. This is a great alternative for photographers who might find that first-party lenses are too expensive. However, given that these are third-party lenses, compatibility might be an issue.

In the case of Canon’s EOS R lineup, users had to rely on an adapter made by Canon, although in some instances, there are limitations. However, a report from Canon Rumors claims that based on what they’ve heard from their sources, apparently come 2022 Sigma will be releasing lenses that will work with the EOS R’s RF mount.

Given the track record of console companies, it is to be expected that every few years or so, a new console will be released. Nintendo themselves have created a variety of consoles over the decades, so it stands to reason that the Switch won’t be the company’s last console and that there could be a new model in the cards.

However, it seems that gamers who are interested in seeing what Nintendo has planned for the future might have to wait quite a bit. This is according to Nintendo’s latest financial results Q&A in which when asked about Nintendo’s next-gen device, the company president Shuntaro Furukawa’s response suggested that it was too early to tell.

An advantage of buying into the Apple ecosystem is that you get cool features like Handoff and Universal Clipboard, the latter of which lets you copy and paste from an iPhone or iPad onto a Mac and vice versa.

To be fair, since Android and Windows are made by different companies, we can’t really expect the same level of integration, but that won’t be the case anymore if you use SwiftKey. In the latest update to the app, Microsoft has enabled it so that users will now be able to copy and paste text between their Windows computers and their Android devices.

Following the disastrous launch of the Nintendo Wii U, many were worried about Nintendo’s future when they launched the Switch, hoping that it would not be another Wii U flop. Looking at the figures now, it seems that this is no longer an issue. In fact, the most recent sales estimates suggest that the Switch could actually catch up to the Wii very soon.

Based on the sales estimates, the Switch has managed to sell 92.87 million units to date. The Wii, which is Nintendo’s most popular home console in history, sold 101.63 million units over its lifetime. To give you some context, the Wii U only managed a paltry 13.56 million units before it was discontinued.

Earlier this year, an issue was raised with Sony’s PS4 and PS5 consoles in which it was discovered that if the console’s CMOS battery dies, gamers would no longer be able to play their games. This is because the battery essentially controls the console’s internal clock which is also used to check ownership of a game.

If the battery dies, it would be unable to verify if the gamer owns the game and thus would prevent them from playing it. While these batteries do last quite a while, it is rather annoying that a battery that only costs a few bucks dictates whether or not you can play games on a console you paid for and games you probably spent hundreds on.

Are you planning on buying a Nintendo Switch during the holiday season, maybe as a gift to someone or a present for yourself? If you were, then you might want to consider buying it a bit early because it might become difficult to get your hands on the console in the future.

This is because according to a report from Nikkei, due to the ongoing global chip shortage, it has forced companies to cut back on production of their products. This includes the Nintendo Switch in which the company is said to be producing 24 million units for their current fiscal year. This is a 20% drop from what they had previously estimated.

Netflix is best known for its video streaming services, but earlier this year, the company announced their plans to expand on its product offerings by getting into gaming. The company later started to test out the feature over in Poland, but for those who have been looking forward to what Netflix might have to offer, the wait is over.

This is because Netflix has announced that they have started to roll out its gaming service to users. This will be available via mobile where gamers can play games through the Android app, but iOS users will have to wait a bit longer.

In the past few years, Nintendo has started to make a bigger effort at launching games on mobile. Some of these titles have proven very popular over the years, like Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes, but others not so much, so much so that Nintendo has shuttered some of their mobile efforts.

The latest victim comes in the form of Dr. Mario World which has been officially shut down as of the 31st of October, 2021. Nintendo had previously warned gamers that they would be shutting down the game and its service back in July, and it looks like that time has come.

If you’re looking forward to the Android 12 update, you’re not alone as there are plenty of non-Pixel phone owners out there who are waiting for their manufacturer to release the update for their phones. If you happen to own an ASUS handset, then you might be interested to learn that the company has announced plans for a beta program.

This beta program will be for the Android 12 update for the ASUS Zenfone 8 Flip smartphone. The company has announced that the stable update will be released in December, but for those who can’t wait for the update, they will actually be able to sign up to be part of the beta program.

According to Sony, “Starting today, PS5 users with an Apple Music subscription can enjoy more than 90 million songs from Apple Music, tens of thousands of curated playlists, music videos in 4K, Apple Music Radio streaming today’s hits, classics, and country live, and personalized playlists based on your music preferences. PS5 offers seamless integration with the Apple Music streaming service with background music and music video playback, so players can listen before, during, or after their gameplay session.”

Apple Music is priced starting at $9.99 per month for individual plans, or $99 a year if you opt for annual billing. There is also a cheaper plan of $4.99 a month if you can prove you’re a college student, or $14.99 a month for families. Apple Music is also included in the Apple One bundle starting at $14.95 a month, so basically as long as you have any of those subscriptions, you’re good to go.
