OnePlus Nord gets teased in new teaser video

OnePlus drops a new teaser that gives us a quick peek the Nord series' first handset, and we do mean a quick look since it appears like five seconds in a 1:25 video (around the 0:57 mark). From what we can see, it sports a dual selfie camera housed inside a punch-hole located at the upper-left side of the display. The screen is flat instead of curved. The rear's design shows the camera sensors arranged vertically on the upper left side of the panel. The back cover curves on both sides. There are the brand name and its logo, but there is no fingerprint sensor in sight.

OnePlus promises the Nord to be priced below US$500 (around CA$679), and it'll run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor. Other rumoured specs claim it'll have 6GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, 6.55-inch OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, 48-megapixel primary camera, 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a single selfie shooter. But there are contradicting reports about the camera specs. The OnePlus Nord is expected to launch in India on July 10.

Is this a display of Twitter's faith in humanity? Or is this the push some people need? The social network shared in a tweet that it'll bring the much-requested edit button into its service under one condition: people wear masks. Face masks or coverings help stop the spread of COVID-19, but some are still refusing to use them. 

Facebook and Instagram are also encouraging users to wear face masks to help stop the spread of the virus alongside a link to learning more information from the US's CDC. Will these reminders be enough? We don't know.

Dating app Badoo uses AI to block unsolicited dick pics

Badoo might not be the first dating app to do this. But the company is leveraging artificial intelligence to prevent unsolicited dick pics from men. The "Private Detector" can spot detect intimate pictures like dick pics, nudes, and the like before they make their way to you. The algorithm will initially blur these images, warning you that you've been sent "inappropriate content." It's your prerogative whether you want to view the picture, block it, or report it to the company. The company says it has a 98% accuracy rate.

Badoo's UK YouTube account announced the feature through a spoof infomercial starring rapper Big Narstie, which you can watch above.
