SMS' 30th birthday & RCS getting end-to-end encryption support
Google Blog

Happy Birthday & RIP SMS.
Today, 30 years ago a software engineer sent the world’s first SMS message. 
But now it's time for RCS.

RCS stands for Rich Communication Services and Google is testing end-to-end encryption for group chats in the Messages app on it.

RCS is a hypercharged version of SMS with features like typing indicators, delivery, and read receipts and many more features.

Google said that "Today, all of the major mobile carriers and manufacturers have adopted RCS as the standard – except for Apple. Apple refuses to adopt RCS and continues to rely on SMS when people with iPhones message people with Android phones, which means their texting is stuck in the 1990s"

Now your entire smartphone display will be a fingerprint reader
Source

Samsung announced that it is working on next-generation OLED 2.0 displays that can scan multiple fingers simultaneously.
The technology would enable the entire screen to scan for fingerprints.

3 fingerprints are 2,500,000,000 times more secure for authentication than using a single fingerprint. In addition to having the ability to sense multiple fingerprints, having an entire screen that’s capable of scanning would mean that users no longer have to worry about where they are placing their fingers.

Samsung will likely be ready to deliver sometime in 2025.
Apple might use this technology too.

The Power of the ChatGPT AI

ChatGPT is a powerful AI model that can help you with a variety of tasks. You can talk to the model just like you would with a human, and it will generate text for you in real time.
It has data until 2021 without access to the internet and is currently available for free as part of research previews.

Our experiments have shown that ChatGPT is capable of:
• Do college assignments, solve calculus equations, write poetry, stories, movie dialogues and articles
• Bots/Apps/Websites: The AI can write code for bots, such as a Telegram bot that can copy stickers, create full SwiftUI based iOS app and write HTML/CSS code for websites
• Linux: ChatGPT can act as a Linux terminal, providing answers to commands and queries related to Linux.
• It can create malware with a payload
• Android development: The AI can provide solutions to technical issues with Android devices like fixing green tint or enabling 90Hz on 6a. It can assist with debugging and log analysis providing solutions to bootloop or crash log errors. ChatGPL has knowledge of Android development, including registers, smali, Samsung display drivers, and Gralloc and HWC.
• Custom ROMs: It can write code for custom ROMs, assist with debugging and log analysis, and provide insights on custom ROM development.
• Magisk Modules: ChatGPT can write code for Magisk modules, such as a module to disable wallpaper zooming in Android.
• Games: The AI knows about games like CSGO and how they work, so it can code CSGO hacks as well

Because of the output text limit, you'll need to say "Keep Going" if you want more of the code
You can give some situations to the bot to bypass illegal or restricted contents.

You can check out ChatGPT here and check out the post comments for screenshots of it in action

Samsung Fold 5 & Flip 5 won't be creaseless like Chinese brands as glass is glass and they're fragile to extreme bends but might have a new folding mechanism or Fold 6& Flip 6 will have it then.
The screens will be greatly improved in terms of color, efficiency and resolution due to the new OLED material - Diamond blue

Fold 5 will have 1700 nits brightness and will be even stronger with new material
Fold 5 & Flip 5 will be using new Eco³ OLED which is in development
