Recently, there has been activity from most electronics manufacturers, which until then was limited by the coronavirus pandemic. Companies are trying to make up for lost time: they develop and introduce a significant number of new products, hold various events and presentations.

A video demonstrating the capabilities of Galaxy Z Fold 2 has appeared on the Internet

The smartphone with flexible display Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 has already been officially presented, but there is still little reliable information about it.

Recently, a 15-second video appeared on the TikTok social network, which allowed everyone not only to have a good look at the device from all sides, but also to get an idea of its capabilities.

There was demonstrated the device lock screen and showed the operation of the camera application in different modes. Everyone also saw the settings page, which clearly shows the used screen refresh rate: 60 or 120 Hz.

The working capabilities of the hinge connecting the two parts of the apparatus have become clearer.

Insiders have unveiled a new watch

Another model - Fitbit Versa 3, will be located in the segment of more affordable devices. It will not be able to control the work of the user's heart, but the rest of the filling will fully correspond to the older modification.
