Samsung brings Google Assistant to its newer TVs

Samsung's newer televisions will add Google Assistant as an option to control the device alongside Amazon Alexa and Samsung Bixby. Samsung started rolling it out in the US first, and it now makes its way to the UK, France, Germany, and Italy. The company claims it will be available in 12 countries by the end of the year. It didn't mention all the countries, though. Spain, Brazil, India, and South Korea will get the feature before the end of the month.

It will be available on "all 2020 4K and 8K QLED TVs, Crystal UHD TVs, The Frame, The Serif, The Sero and The Terrace." Google Assistant was available on some 2019 Samsung models, but it needed another Google Assistant-supported device like a smart speaker to work. Now, this integration means you can just send inquiries and commands directly to the TVs.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 rumoured to come with an under-display selfie camera

Source: Samsung

Samsung will reportedly use an under-display camera in its upcoming foldable phone. Korean outlet ETNews reports that Samsung will employ this method for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2021. 

To improve image quality, the company will supposedly use some "special display design" that will widen the pixels over the camera sensor so more light can get through and will allow it to take better photos. As 9to5Google points out, selfie cameras in foldable phones aren't as necessary since you can use the main sensor. But this is one way to get more screen while maintaining that selfie sensor. It will take a while to arrive, so we're sure to hear more in the coming months.
