    T-maxxing.

    I don’t make a habit of featuring Verge writers in the comment of the day, but since Nilay’s testosterone levels were the impetus for Victoria Song’s latest Optimizer column, on Whoop’s hunt for new health metrics, it only felt fair to air his response.

    Nilay Patel:

    Cmon everyone wants to see what I’m like jacked on literally 10x the testosterone

    Samsung’s Z Flip 8 slims down in new leak renders.

    The fairly reliable leaker OnLeaks has shared his first CAD renders for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, via MyMobiles, and it looks… pretty much identical to the Z Flip 7, actually. It’s apparently slimmer though, with 0.5mm shaved off when closed, which should make it fractionally more pocketable.

    <em>The Flip 8 has the same boxy design and full cover screen as its predecessor according to this leak.</em>
    <em>While it’s apparently going to be thinner when folded, it will be about the same thickness when open.</em>
    <em>Samsung’s foldables normally launch in July, so expect to find out more then.</em>

    Huawei’s next flagship phones are going big on gradients.

    The Pura 90 series will launch in China on April 20th, and the phones will be decked out in a series of colorful gradient finishes. GizmoChina has images of the full line of Pura 90 Pro and Pro Max colors, but I’m a fan of this sunset Pro Max Huawei has teased on Weibo.

    Gradients aren’t new for Huawei — its P20 and P30 phones had similar finishes.

    I see what you did there.

    Digital privacy non-profit the Electronic Frontier Foundation has announced it’s leaving X, citing a sharp decline in views for its posts. With EFF off the platform, some commenters agree with the organization’s thinking.

    eff x, I agree

    Android’s “tap to share” looks a little different to Apple’s.

    Last month Android Authority reported Google is developing an NFC-based way to share contact info, files, links, and more, and now it’s got the interface running. Unlike Apple’s NameDrop, users have to hold the two phones above one another, perhaps to account for how varied NFC chip placement can be on Android devices.

    <em>While iPhone users hold their phones edge to edge, on Android the phones must overlap.</em>
    <em>Sharing options include photos, videos, and contact info.</em>

    It just rolls off the tongue.

    Yesterday we found out the price of the new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition, the real name of a real product that I guess buyers are expected to learn.

    Great name!
