Google Messages “made native to S21 series” but I'm told that Samsung Messages is still the default. Which means there will be TWO texting apps on the S21, and knowing which supports RCS will be ….confusing. GREAT JOB EVERYBODY!! https://t.co/jtTcLjZj8K — PolitiTweet.org

As I mentioned in the newsletter this morning, Samsung Very Much Wants you to live in Samsung Galaxy ...World ...Universe ecosystem. https://t.co/plf3Sdgm2d — PolitiTweet.org

Samsung is building smart erase into its gallery app, so you can tap people in the background and let the software fill with the background. Will be VERY curious to see how this works. — PolitiTweet.org

Samsung talking about "the chipset" as "5nm" but not actually identifying it is still so weird. We know it's Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 in the US and Exynos elsewhere, but it's SUCH A TELL that Samsung tries to be hand-wavy about it. https://t.co/j6hIZrPp84 — PolitiTweet.org

Samsung is using its SmartThings app for tracking devices. It also uses a "network" of SmartThings apps to locate devices that are outside your BLE range. — PolitiTweet.org

Buds Pro (and Samsung's other earbuds) also do the thing of working better with Galaxy phones than other phones, with auto-switching. (Yes, this is a headphone jack tweet.) — PolitiTweet.org

Samsung is also making tracker tags. BLE only for now, UWB later this year. Tile must be CHUFFED that both Apple (rumored) and Samsung are making 1st party tags that benefit from better access to the OS. However, they ONLY work with Galaxy phones, soooo. https://t.co/6psXGn8rQ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Here is @chriswelch with the details on the new Galaxy Buds Pro. https://t.co/jPVGJh19oy — PolitiTweet.org

Samsung's TM Roh just referred to the Galaxy ecosystem as a "universe." Next year will be "Multiverse" and then.. well then there's nowhere else to go. — PolitiTweet.org

You can watch Samsung's livestream, or you can watch and read @cgartenberg's hands on with the new Galaxy S21 phones. The choice is yours, but you know the right answer. (It's Chaim). https://t.co/Phvg1mz4b9 — PolitiTweet.org

Feel free to interpret Samsung’s cube here. I will note it has beveled edges sometimes. I think maybe it’s like a 6-sided die. Clearly, the S21 will do the same 1D6 damage as a short sword. https://t.co/gfwhII7cGt — PolitiTweet.org

Busy morning! Samsung’s S21 announcement starts in 5 minutes! (We decided not to liveblog this one, because *waves hands at everything*, but we will have wall-to-wall coverage on the site) https://t.co/UtFPd1SFfb — PolitiTweet.org

@dhh @reckless @noahsbwilliams @CalumTowers @verge @waltmossberg Oh that’s a really interesting point. Back in the day Hangout offered an “incognito” mode that changed the UI and made it clear to both parties the messages would be deleted. — PolitiTweet.org

Google has completed its acquisition of Fitbit. But as @JonPorty notes, it seems to have done so without waiting for approval from Australian regulators, risking a $400 million fine https://t.co/Fc6NWle4Ac https://t.co/pF0eB9p5d6 — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless @noahsbwilliams @CalumTowers @dhh @verge @waltmossberg dubbed this the “iCloud loophole” in 2016! I try to mention it whenever I can in my RCS encryption rants, but will admit sometimtes I miss it as it’s exhausting to start detailing gotchas. https://t.co/8feminfAOM — PolitiTweet.org

10-year-old me playing 1st Edition Dungeons & Dragons would have LOST HIS SHIT if he knew someday there’d be a Tiamat-themed gaming laptop with this much power. ALSO how has it taken this long for an RGB multi-chromatic laptop to be called TIAMAT? https://t.co/M0Bx6fWNv9 — PolitiTweet.org
