Leaked Samsung Galaxy S11+ renders show phone design, big camera array

If the leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S11+ is accurate, then we're getting a large, almost domino-like camera setup at the back of the phone. Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) shared the renders of Samsung's upcoming flagship, and what immediately catches our eye is the big, black camera array at the top left of the device. It reminds us of the Pixel 4, but just stretched to look more like a domino piece. 

The phone is expected to have a five-camera setup, but details on these are scarce. Rumour has it the Galaxy S11+ will feature a 5x optical zoom with a 108-megapixel primary sensor. It's expected to get telephoto, ultra-wide, and time-of-flight lenses, too.

Tile Smart Alerts will let you know if you've left an object behind

Tile's Bluetooth trackers are designed to help you locate lost products. But the company looks to expand that feature further by reintroducing "Smart Alerts." Currently in beta, Smart Alerts will automatically let you know when you've left behind an item with a tracker for five minutes. You can set "safe zones," so it doesn't alert you when, for example, you leave your purse with the Tile tracker at home.

You will, however, need to pay to get the feature. Smart Alerts beta requires the $34.99 a year subscription fee. But if you're forgetful enough, this expense might be worth it. Tile will be pushing out the beta in December.

Uber Eats' allergy filters help keep your dining experience safe and enjoyable

You may or may not know this, but Uber Eats has a section that lets you filter out any allergies or dietary restrictions you might have. Instead of using the Special Instructions section of the app, you can now specify your needs through the Allergy section. The app will also let you filter through different restaurants based on your dietary preferences.

Restaurants will be able to identify allergies and take the necessary precautions when processing an order. If a restaurant can't accommodate your request, they can message you to let you choose other options that fit your restrictions.
