Samsung confirms five new devices this August
Galaxy Note 20 series will be one of them

A few weeks ago, a Samsung report teased three upcoming smartphones between August and October. At August’s Unpacked event, Samsung will launch the Galaxy Note 20 series. However, as with every major event, the company will likely bundle the main event with a few supplementary devices. Now, Samsung confirms that five devices will debut this August.
In an official newsroom post, Dr. Tae-moon Roh, Samsung Mobile CEO, talked about what’s next for the smartphone branch. Specifically, he reinvigorated the company’s drive to adapt to the “Next Normal.” In the future, Samsung will build devices that will make everyone’s “new normal” lives easier, allow collaboration between different services, and remain agile for an uncertain future.
In mapping this future, Roh confirmed a few details for the upcoming Unpacked event. “At this summer’s Galaxy Unpacked, we’ll be introducing five new power devices,” he said.
Further, he gave a few hints on the devices in the Unpacked lineup. “In the Next Normal, you will be empowered to live life to the fullest with these devices in your hand (and in your ears, and on your wrist.)” Now, we have a clear idea of what’s coming up.
For one, Samsung has already confirmed the launch of the Galaxy Note 20 series. According to Roh’s hints, the company will also launch the Galaxy Buds Live and the Galaxy Watch 3. That said, what else can Samsung launch this August? There are still two unmapped smartphones set for September and October. At the very least, expect five new Samsung devices to debut this August.

Here’s how to share your Spotify Wrapped 2023 with everyone
Also available on desktop for the first time ever

Psst. It’s that time of the year again. If you’ve been on social media lately, you might have noticed the start of Spotify Wrapped posts. Everyone is keen to share which songs they were obsessed over this entire year. If you want to join in the fun, here’s how you can share your top songs and artists for the year.
Starting today, Spotify Wrapped is now available. As long as your app is updated, the yearly feature should already be available. You can find the button for your Wrapped right on your home screen.
Clicking on the feature will take you to the traditional story-like sequence showcasing your favorite music and when you listened to them. At the end of the sequence, you’ll get a variety of color options to share your list on social media. This year’s theme is more psychedelic, so you can show off a lot more color for your feed.
Additionally, after you view the sequence (and during, for your most listened-to artist), you can access special messages shot by your most played artists as a thank you for supporting them throughout the year. The top artist will get a special spot in your stories, too.
Besides the usual way of viewing your Wrapped on mobile, Spotify is also making Wrapped 2023 available on desktop for the first time ever. The desktop version isn’t really new as it still offers the same story sequence, though. Still, it’s a good addition if you prefer using Spotify on a PC.

Netflix is getting three classic Grand Theft Auto games next month
All three in remastered glory

If you need something light to play amid the bushel of bigger games released this year, you might be sleeping on Netflix’s growing library of games. After packing a significant amount of indie classics on the platform, Netflix is now adding more mainstream hits starting next month. Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will arrive on the platform in December.
While it’s no Grand Theft Auto V, the trilogy collection three of the most iconic titles in the series: Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas. The three games represent an era when Rockstar Games had unparalleled dominance in the open-world genre. Released in 2021, the collection releases the trilogy for modern systems, complete with upgraded (albeit controversial) graphics.
The trilogy is a big get for Netflix. Though the platform’s games catalog already has certified hits (such as Spiritfarer and Into the Breach), Netflix’s new feature hasn’t taken off as much as the company would want. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy might be its most iconic addition yet, potentially boosting its value for subscribers (especially those who don’t want to pay full price for old games).
For Rockstar Games, the addition couldn’t have come at a better time. The studio has already confirmed that it will release the first trailer for the much-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI next month. The series is about to get a big boost.
If you want to play Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, the three games will drop on Netflix starting December 14. As with all of Netflix’s other games, the trilogy is available for free for all subscribers through a mobile device.
