One of the things I do the most on my iPhone is long press on links in apps (RIP 3D touch) to pop open a small modal window to view the site without leaving what I’m doing. Now the Arc browser lets me do that on the desktop with its new peek feature. (I guess there’s only one way to brand this kind of thing, huh.)

The S23 Ultra doesn’t break the mold set by the S22 Ultra, but it is a better phone in a number of ways. If you want a big Android phone this year, it’s going to be tough to beat this one.

Everything’s a computer!

When this OnePlus keyboard was first teased, I groaned and thought “just buy the Keychron it’s based on”. But now that it’s official, I can’t say I’m mad at it and there are some legitimately cool tweaks, like the height adjustable stand that looks like a guitar’s whammy bar to me.

Raycast, my favorite app launcher/shortcut finder/general utility on the Mac, has come out with a new deep linking feature, extending its long list of features catered to power users.

Both Qualcomm president and CEO Cristiano Amon and Google SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer came on stage to talk about a new partnership with Samsung related to AR, VR, and XR. But there are no further details other than “this is happening”, so I guess it’s not yet a reality.

Samsung boasts that the new Book3 line has “3K” displays. Not 4K, not 2K, but 3K. (They are 2880 x 1800 pixels.)

We’re 20 minutes into this event and Samsung’s already told us that all of the vignettes for the event were filmed on the S23 Ultra and we’ve gotten cameos from Ridley Scott and Na Hong-Jin.

Samsung’s event just started a few minutes ago, but you can read about all of its news already. Leading the pack is the new S23 Ultra, which looks a lot like last year’s S22 Ultra, but comes with a 200-megapixel camera. Here’s Allison Johnson’s first look.

Former Verge Executive Editor and current Google employee Dieter Bohn is on the ground at the Samsung event, which warms my blogger heart.
