WhatsApp expands group video chats, now allows up to 8 members
In today’s world of social distancing, communicating with people for leisure or work often requires some sort of video conference calls. Microsoft and Google have their own platforms for that purpose, but WhatsApp wants to join the game too.
The Facebook service is planning to expands its group video chat function to allow up to 8 members. The app is currently in beta, but testers on iOS and Android can download it.

Here's how to add participants in a video call
Earlier this month, WhatsApp started offering video calls of up to 4 people and now it plans to extend the limit twofold. However, given the feature is still in beta, it might take some time to reach all users. There’s also the limitation of people using an old version, something that is probably taking care during the test process.
Given how Facebook positions WhatsApp as a messaging service to your closest friends and family, the extended amount of people is probably just to allow more people to join social distanced evenings, dinners, and celebrating holidays. The platform is unlikely to try and take on Zoom, Google Meet or the likes for now.

Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G review

  Introduction Click here for our  full and extensive review  of the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, which the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is based on. We've said it before, and we'll say it again - Samsung currently has a really strong Galaxy A lineup. They took their "Awesome is for everyone" slogan to heart with interesting and fresh designs, as well as good value specs. Better still, the Korean giant definitely recognizes it has a good product on its hands and is now investing even further in extending its life. Particularly the Galaxy A52, which now has a new A52s 5G variant. Technically, it can be considered another generation of the product, compared to the vanilla A52 and the A52 5G, though there aren't too many new changes here. The first two A52 models came out back in March, with the 5G one swapping the original's Snapdragon 720G for a 5G-capable Snapdragon 750G and the 90Hz, 6.5 Super AMOLED display for a 120Hz one. All the while keeping the two devices physical...

Oppo Band Style Review

  Oppo Band Style Review Oppo is mainly known as a smartphone brand, but the company's product portfolio includes wireless earphones, smart TVs, and smartwatches as well. Oppo also launched its first smartband last year, called the Oppo Band, followed by a facelift version called the Oppo Band Style. The Oppo Band Style is basically the regular Band coming with an extra strap in the box, with the rest of its highlights including an AMOLED panel, real-time heart rate monitoring, and the usual set of features you find on any other fitness band in this price range. Alongside the extra strap, the feature that sets the Band Style apart from most other wearables in its category is the continuous SpO2 monitoring. But is that enough to make it a worthy buy? We try to find that out with this review. Oppo Band Style specifications Display:  1.1", 126x294 pixel AMOLED color touchscreen, 2.5D Curved Glass, 100% DCI-P3 gamut Straps:  Detachable straps, 14mm width, 130-205mm ...

Poco M3 Pro 5G

  Poco M3 Pro 5G review The new Poco M3 Pro 5G has one particularly rich feature set, for an affordable smartphone that is. There is a 6.5" 90Hz LCD screen, the Dimensity 700 chip with 4GB or 6GB of RAM, a triple camera with a 48MP primary shooter, and a large 5,000 mAh battery capable of 18W fast charging. The phone runs on Android 11 with MIUI 12. The connectivity options are abundant, too. There is 5G and everything that came before it. NFC is supported, too. You can use FM radio, and there is even a 3.5mm audio jack. The Poco M3 Pro 5G also offers an IR blaster, and it can be your universal remote. Bluetooth 5.1 and dual-band Wi-Fi are also available. All of this sounds familiar, doesn't it? That's because the Poco M3 Pro 5G is identical to the Redmi Note 10 5G, sans the different rear panel. While the Redmi had a matte plastic back with a small camera island, the Poco has a glossy glass-like rear cover with this massive black accent for the imagers. And that's ho...
