Samsung Galaxy S21 turned out to be a real hit: it is more popular than Galaxy S20, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S9
According to South Korean media, Samsung has sold almost 600,000 Galaxy S21 smartphones in its homeland, while in the same period the new product has surpassed the achievements of the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S9.
The previous record is held by the Samsung Galaxy S8, which was released in 2017. During the same period of time, the company was able to sell 620 thousand Galaxy S8 smartphones in South Korea. It is also reported that in the first month, the number of Galaxy S21 smartphones sold was almost double the result of last year’s Galaxy S20.
A spokesman for Atlas Research & Consulting said the main reason for the increase in sales was that Samsung was able to improve performance while maintaining low prices, especially when compared to previous series.
Samsung has another model that performed well: the Galaxy A31 became the top-selling mobile phone in the domestic market.

Recently, Google unexpectedly released the final version of the Android 13 OS, which became available for Pixel smartphones. And, it seems, the owners of such devices should install it now.
It turned out that in Android 13, the search giant fixed a huge number of bugs that existed in Pixel smartphones. More specifically, the list includes 151 issues that Google has fixed in the update.
In particular, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have a much better in-display fingerprint scanner, the slowness of which many have complained about. We also fixed the issue with double-tap to wake up the screen, Always-On Display, auto-brightness, auto-rotate the screen, and more. Users of the new Pixels say that smartphones have simply become faster and more stable.
As a reminder, Android 13 is available for Google models starting with the Pixel 4 line.

A full-fledged WhatsApp client for Windows has finally been released. It can run in the background and doesn’t need to sync with your phone
What Viber and Telegram have had for a long time has finally appeared in WhatsApp: after a long period of beta testing, the messenger client for Windows has finally been released. The app is available for download from the Microsoft Store.
Now you do not need to run WhatsApp in a browser – you can download the application to your mobile computer or PC – and communicate in the format familiar to users of other instant messengers. The Windows WhatsApp client runs in the background and does not need to be synchronized with your phone. Later, the developers promise to release a version for macOS.

The cameras of the iPhone X, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro were compared in a general image
Less than a month is left before the release of the iPhone 14 series, while insiders leaked the design of the smartphone a long time ago, and the exact drawings that fell into the hands of accessory manufacturers made it possible to create three-dimensional models of new devices.
The main innovation of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be new screens that will abandon the bangs that appeared in the iPhone X and get two small holes. We have already published a comparison of the screens of the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro.
However, new smartphones will also receive once again an enlarged main camera unit. This time, it will not only be large in area, but also protrude more strongly above the surface of the rear panel (by as much as 4.17 mm).
The source published a comparison of the main camera modules of five generations of Apple smartphones: iPhone X, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro.
Recall that the size of the main camera block of the iPhone 14 Pro will be increased, in particular, due to the use of a new 48-megapixel camera.
According to rumors, new smartphones will be presented on September 7th.
