Samsung's 14.6" Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tipped to get a notch

OnLeaks/91Mobiles

Samsung might be thinking of bringing a notch to its tablet, too. The company is reportedly planning to add a small notch on the gigantic Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The slate is tipped to have a 14.6-inch display, so the cutout might help reduce its size.

It will reportedly get a dual-rear camera setup with the magnetic strip to hold your S Pen. But the unnamed source claims this design isn't "100 percent complete," so we might still see a different look. The regular Tab S8 and S8+ aren't expected to get notches.

Google Meet hosts can keep participants mics and cameras off

Google

Google Meet is getting a new feature that can help prevent distractions from noisy or unruly attendees. Hosts will get the option to turn off participants' microphones and cameras and prevent them from turning these back on. 

This mic and camera lock feature will be off by default, so hosts will need to turn this on during meetings if they want access to it. If the sessions have breakout rooms, the audio and video locks in the main will apply there. But it won't work the opposite way, meaning if the locks were implemented in the breakout rooms, they wouldn't apply outside of those sessions.

Nintendo delays 'Advance Wars' Switch remasters to spring 2022

Nintendo's remasters of the first two Advance Wars games won't be coming this December. Instead, the company announced that Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp for the Nintendo Switch will arrive sometime in spring 2022. According to a tweet from Nintendo, "The game just needs a little more time for fine tuning." Nintendo has "reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up," so perhaps that's why it needs a bit more time.
