4 thousand LG TVs recalled in Russia
The Russian representative office of LG Electronics recalled more than 4 thousand branded TVs. This was reported by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology.
According to Rosstandart, Russia has launched a voluntary recall program for 4,009 LG TVs. Some 2016 and 2017 models experienced overheating events that damaged the power board or back cover, preventing the TVs from working properly.
According to LG, the examination revealed that when OLED TVs overheat, there is no risk of flame or fire spreading outside the TV. In addition, to date, there are no cases of overheating of these OLED TVs in Russia. However, the manufacturer decided to replace the power boards not only in TVs, where problems were noted, but also in other models.
The revocation program applies to:
- OLED65E6, OLED65G6, OLED77G6 models produced in 2016
- OLED65C7, OLED65E7, OLED65G7 models produced in 2017
- OLED77G7, OLED65W8 models produced in 2018
- Models OLED77C8, OLED77W8, OLED65W9, OLED77C9, OLED77W9 produced in 2019.
These TVs will have their old power boards replaced free of charge. The company will notify about the need for repair using a pop-up notification when the devices are connected to the Internet.

This Geely crossover can accelerate to 100 km / h in 3 seconds. Zeekr X quality images
The Chinese resource Autohome has published high-quality images of the Zeekr X compact electric crossover (Zeekr brand is owned by Geeky). It will be the brand’s third model after the Zeekr 001 premium hatchback and the Zeekr 009 minivan.
The Zeekr X has some things in common with the Zeekr 001, but in general the crossover has received an individual look. Of the features – the absence of door handles, frameless windows, “muscular” sidewalls and a straightened roofline for more headroom for rear passengers.
The Zeekr X will be based on the Geely SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform, which is also used by Volvo. Despite its compactness (dimensions – 4450 x 1836 x 1572 mm), the car will be quite spacious inside, as the wheelbase is 2750 mm long. For comparison, the current Hyundai Santa Fe with a length of 4785 mm has a wheelbase of 2765 mm.
What will be the traction batteries and electric motors – one can only guess for now, but Geely has already officially announced that the Zeekr X will accelerate to 100 km / h in 3 seconds.

The capabilities of all the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra were shown in a spectacular selection. At 30x zoom, the quality remains very high
Verified online whistleblower Ice Universe posted new photos on Twitter showing the optical and digital zoom capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra flagship smartphone.
The pictures were taken with an ultra-wide-angle camera (0.6x), a main module (1x), as well as two telephoto lenses with 3x, 10x, 30x and 100x zoom.
Galaxy S23 Ultra, 0.6/1/3/10/30/100x. 30x zoom is beyond me. This is unscientific. Haha.

It can be stated that at 30x zoom, the quality of the images remains quite high for publication in social networks without visible blurs and loss of detail.
In addition, two photographs are presented, the second being made by cropping the original image.
Ice Universe was the first to accurately talk about the new trend for smartphones with waterfall screens, about the notch in the iPhone X, about the new design of the iPhone 14 with a Dynamic Island cutout, and about different 200-megapixel image sensors.

Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones may differ in speed: versions with 128 and 256 GB are equipped with different memory
As it became known, the versions of the Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone equipped with 128 and 256 GB of flash memory differ in the type of this very memory.
The 128GB version uses slower UFS 3.1 memory. The 256GB version of the Galaxy S23 uses the new UFS 4.0 memory. In both cases, new LPDDR5X RAM is installed.
Allegedly, the base version may be slower in various scenarios than the 256GB version of the Galaxy S23. UFS 3.1 has a sequential read speed of 2100 Mbps and a sequential write speed of 1200 Mbps, while UFS 4.0 has a sequential read speed of 4200 Mbps and a sequential write speed of 2800 Mbps.
There is evidence that Samsung does not produce 128 GB UFS 4.0 memory chips. Only Kioxia makes 128GB UFS 4.0 memory, but even those don’t reach the required speeds. Therefore, Samsung decided to use UFS 3.1 flash memory for the lower version.
Samsung is offering a free upgrade for those who pre-order the Galaxy S23 series in many countries. For example, if you order the 128 GB version, you can get the 256 GB version.
