LG patent suggests a smartphone with a penta-camera is coming

The last internationally released five-camera-toting smartphone was HMD's Nokia 9 PureView. But this configuration got a refresh with the recent launch from Chinese company Xiaomi, who just unveiled the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro/Xiaomi Mi Note 10. And if we follow this LG patent, it looks like the South Korean company wants a piece of the action, too.

The plans seem to have been a long time coming. The patent was filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization back in March 2018. It was only approved in May of this year. The cameras at the back look to be arranged with three lenses vertically and two lenses horizontally. There also looks to be an LED flash thrown in there at the center of the two lenses.

Roku's remote control app adds Apple Watch support

Roku's remote control app gets a new update that will let you navigate and control what you want to watch on the Apple TV app right from your Apple Watch. The feature works similarly with Apple's Remote app that controls the Apple TV. The options are the same as what you'd find on the mobile app, but it's "sized for your wrist." You can also launch channels right from the Watch's screen, with channels appear in the order of most recently launched. Voice search is also available. You can issue commands such as "Launch Netflix" or "Search for Comedies." And if you're the type who loses the remote of your Roku device, the app has a "Remote finder" that will make it play an audible chime. This update, as well as the remote finder feature, will work for select Roku devices and Roku TV models.
