Say sayonara to blurry photos thanks to this sharp camera tech
Motion blur is the curse of even the best smartphone cameras, but not for long. At MWC 2023, sensor designer Prophesee partnered with Qualcomm to bring its “event-based” Metavision technology to Snapdragon platforms and, therefore, future smartphones. Farewell, blurry pet photos, unusable sports action shots, and smudged low-light snaps.
Prophesee’s journey began with custom image sensor hardware designed specially to track motion within a scene, and that’s the key to what makes Metavision so promising. The technology doesn’t capture images like a traditional image sensor, instead calculating the direction and amount of motion to produce a map of moving pixels. This is accomplished by tracking when a pixel changes rather than capturing a full image frame-by-frame like a traditional camera.

Motorola rizr rollable phone concept hands-on: They see me rollin’
While foldable screens are slowly becoming more mainstream, rollable flexible displays are still in their emerging phase. The idea is simple: You take a flexible display panel and instead of just folding it on itself, you use its flexibility to roll it — often hiding it away from view. That’s the idea behind Motorola’s rizr rollable phone concept, which was briefly teased back in October.
At MWC 2023, we were able to get our hands on a working prototype of the Motorola rizr rollable phone and let’s just say that it’s too cool. Rollables are more practical than foldable phones in most situations. The phone keeps its original size and form factor, and is usable as is. But when you need more screen estate, you can get an on-demand larger display that momentarily rolls out, then neatly tucks away when you’re done.

Frankenstein’s earbuds would sound monstrously good
Despite frequently hopping between some of the best wireless earbuds, I still don’t feel like I’ve found my perfect pair. It’s not that any models I’ve used are bad in their own right. It’s more that I like each of them for different and specific reasons. Between the Samsung, Sony, and other buds at my disposal, I have an orchestra full of features that I enjoy. But it’s a pain having to switch between buds when I want to experience the best of a particular functionality.
But what if I could somehow take them apart and put all of their best qualities together? With their high-end features combined, they’d make for an impressive set of earbuds indeed. Maybe then I could have all of the features I’m looking for all in one place. Strange though it is, Frankenstein’s earbuds would sound monstrously good. Here’s what they should look like.

- Press renders have leaked for the Samsung Galaxy A54 and A34.
- Both phones look a lot like the Galaxy S23 series, especially the camera modules.
- Leaked specs point to minor upgrades over last year’s Galaxy A53 and A33.
Now that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series has launched and become available worldwide, all eyes are on Samsung’s next smartphone launches. The most imminent launch is for the Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34, two mid-rangers. Interestingly, they both look a lot like the Galaxy S23 series.
The Samsung Galaxy A54 will likely be the company’s most high-end mid-ranger of 2023. Last year’s Galaxy A53 was one of our favorite budget-minded devices, and we expect this year’s model to continue that same trend. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A34 should be a decent value device, although a harder sell if you can spend an extra $100 or so on the Galaxy A54.
