Panasonic has launched the G95 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, the successor to the G85. Like its predecessor, the G95 is a mid-range hybrid camera with both still and video features. The G95 has a 20.3MP CMOS sensor without a low-pass filter. It also features 5-axis image stabilization built-in. The G95 uses Panasonic's DFD or Depth from Defocus autofocusing technology, which is a variation of contrast-based autofocus. While quick for stills (Panasonic claims 0.07 sec focus lock) along with face and eye detection, DFD is known to be flaky for video with constant jittery... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2UiQZqN via IFTTT

If you've got a couple thousand bucks to drop on the Samsung Galaxy Fold, there's probably more where that came from, right? Well, good, because if you'll also want to purchase an official case or two - note that these won't be cheap either. It makes sense when you consider that this is among the most expensive smartphones Samsung's ever made (and it takes the crown if you don't count the weird clamshell handsets for Asia). UK-based online retailer MobileFun has just published listings for the upcoming official genuine leather cases made by Samsung for the Galaxy Fold. There are two... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2KpYCaD via IFTTT

Xiaomi's Mi 9 checks all the boxes for a 2019 flagship - Snapdragon 855, triple camera setup and a solid OLED screen. And with a sub-€500 price tag it's no wonder that the phone has been in high demand since it launched back in February - so much so in fact that Xiaomi has been unable to keep up and stock is always limited. The problems seem to be resolved as CEO Lei Jun confirmed in a Weibo post that production capacity has seen a rapid increase. Last week, combined Mi 9 sales topped 1.5 million units, taking into account both the regular Mi 9 and its smaller brother the Mi 9 SE.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2IfnkHQ via IFTTT

Oppo is looking to add more devices to its midrange segment as two phones bearing the PCGM00 and PCGT00 model names just passed certification. Upon examining the specs it's apparent that the different model numbers equate to the same device and it might just be the upcoming Reno's lighter version. Up front is a 6.5 inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone sports a 16MP pop-up front camera so we can expect some thin bezels and no notch.

Dan Kitwood/GettyThe FDA announced Wednesday that it was investigating reports of seizures in teens who vape—the latest in the agency’s increased focus on the e-cigarette industry.“We have reports indicating that some people who use e-cigarettes, especially youth and young adults, are experiencing seizures following their use,” FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb and Principal Deputy Commissioner Amy Abernathy said in a statement, noting that there have been at least 35 reported cases of seizures following e-cigarette use between 2010 and 2019 documented by poison control centers and the administration’s own adverse events reporting system. “While 35 cases may not seem like much compared to the total number of people using e-cigarettes,” the statement added, “we are nonetheless concerned by these reported cases.” Gottlieb, who will retire from the agency on Friday after months of crusading against the e-cigarette industry and two years at the FDA, emphasized that the administration “[doesn

The British pound rose against the dollar Wednesday after Prime Minister Theresa May offered cross-party talks with the leader of the opposition Labour Party in a political gamble aimed at resolving the Brexit impasse. Sterling won a boost after Conservative leader May declared late Tuesday that she would look for another Brexit delay and softened her position to try and avert a messy no-deal divorce from the European Union next week. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has consistently called for Britain to remain in a customs union with the bloc, while the government has so far ruled this out saying Britain should have an independent trade policy after Brexit. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2K7DYvC via Latest News
