Samsung Galaxy S21 FE detailed in a hands-on video prior to official launch

Prior to the official unveiling, a complete Samsung Galaxy F21 FE unboxing and hands-on review have surfaced online. The review showcases the design of the upcoming fan edition phone and reveals several key specifications. 

Samsung’s Fan Editions aren’t necessarily the best-specced phones but aim to offer premium Samsung experience at a value price. This is achieved by making a few compromises that Samsung believes that consumers can look past and live with (polycarbonate back instead of glass, slow charging adapter in the box, etc.). 

Samsung Galaxy F21 FE specifications

The video was posted by a Reddit user u/UnknownWon who confirms that the phone will be powered by Snapdragon 888 chipset, have a 4500mAh battery, and have support for fast charging and fast wireless charging. 

Out of the box, the software is Android 11-based OneUI 11 which was to be expected as the OneUI 12 is still in the early rollout phase.

The phone appears to be using the same rear camera sensors as on the Galaxy S20 FE and you can check the camera samples shared by the user here. Previous reports claim that the phone will upgrade the selfie camera to a 32MP sensor. 

The display will allegedly be a 6.41-inch (1080p) AMOLED panel with a centrally aligned punch-hole cutout. The single tone design on the back panel is more similar to what Samsung offers for its Galaxy A series phones unlike the S21 flagships, and that’s completely fine by us. 

Samsung Galaxy F21 FE price and availability

The unit in the hands-on video has an Olive colour, and the Samsung Galaxy F21 FE will allegedly also retail in Black, White, and Purple colour options for a starting price of $699. India pricing and availability will hopefully be revealed close to the official launch that is pegged for January 11.

Heres how NASA will let you know if aliens exist

Humanity, as we know it, has always existed in a cosmic vacuum. The cold darkness of space has always been a mystery. We’ve had our hypotheses and conspiracies but for the most part, we’re still wondering, is anyone out there? The existential threat of universal loneliness looms large over the collective psyche of mankind. We’ve even managed to set foot on the Moon but as far as space travel is concerned, that is as far as we’ve gotten. This is why the launch of the James Webb telescope could be a boon for astrophysics and humanity, in general. Scientists hope that the telescope will give them a bit more insight into the mysteries of the known universe. Another side-effect of these deep space studies is that we could potentially discover actual alien life!

Alien Life NASA

NASA has outlined a plan to reveal information of alien life

That is a very real possibility. If you do believe that extraterrestrial life exists, the James Webb telescope could be our best bet of finding it. To this end, NASA has outlined a plan on how it plans to break the news to the public regarding the discovery of alien life. In the document, NASA states, “Our generation could realistically be the one to discover evidence of life beyond Earth. With this privileged potential comes responsibility. The magnitude of the question of whether we are alone in the Universe, and the public interest therein, opens the possibility that results may be taken to imply more than the observations support, or than the observers intend.

The researchers propose a progressive system where evidence would be presented on a scale of one through seven, starting with the detection of a biological signal and ending with definitive confirmation of the presence of alien biology.”

You can check out the image below of how NASA plans to go about it.

NASA alien life plan

NASA is right, our generation could be the first to find life outside our planet and what we do with that information is critical. Going even further, what would we do if we came in contact with a sentient, intelligent alien lifeform? Does NASA also have protocols for a situation that could potentially change the world? These are fascinating questions that do not have any answers, as of now. But as FBI agent Fox Mulder’s poster states “I Want to Believe”.

Alexa challenges 10-year-old to touch a live plug with a coin

The act of touching a coin to half-exposed live plugs has been making rounds on the internet for about a year. It is called “the penny challenge”. A 10-year old was unfortunately issued the challenge recently by Alexa. 

The girl's mother, Kristin Livdahl shared a screenshot of the challenge on Twitter. Kristin Livdahl says that when her 10-year old asked Alexa for a challenge, the speaker responded with “Plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs”

Alexa challenges 10-year old to touch a live plug with a coin

According to the BBC report the mother said, “We were doing some physical challenges, like laying down and rolling over holding a shoe on your foot, from a [physical education] teacher on YouTube earlier. Bad weather outside. She just wanted another one.” This is when the Alexa-enabled speaker suggested the challenge that it found on the web.

As we’ve said above, the penny challenge isn’t new and has been making the rounds on the internet for the past year. 

In a separate Tweet, Kristin Livdahl shared a response from Amazon which reads, “We are currently working with our developers regarding your Alexa concern. As soon as we receive further information, we’ll contact you with an update. In the meantime, please feel free to reply to this email with any questions or concerns you may have”.

Amazon has reportedly fixed the error as soon as it was made aware of it.

Amazon told the BBC in a statement that “it had updated Alexa to prevent the assistant recommending such activity in the future”. The statement reads, “Customer trust is at the center of everything we do and Alexa is designed to provide accurate, relevant, and helpful information to customers. As soon as we became aware of this error, we took swift action to fix it.”
