When Twitter launched in 2006, it offered users a new way of sharing the world around them in text-based tweets of up to 140 characters. Today, tweets can consist of up to 240 characters, and users can upload photos and videos directly to the platform. With the vast amount of content that is now shared on Twitter, however, you may find yourself wanting to save some of it for later. And although you simply right-click and save a photo, saving a video takes a few extra steps.

Here’s what you need to know.

Your Android phone could become a powerful tool for detecting cataracts
Researchers found that ophthalmologists reviewing smartphone eye images remotely closely matched in-person referral decisions, opening the door to easier screening in underserved communities.

Getting your eyes checked is fairly straightforward when an ophthalmologist is nearby. For millions of people living in rural communities, however, simply reaching one can be the biggest obstacle. Researchers in India think a smartphone could help close that gap. A new study found that eye specialists examining smartphone images remotely made cataract referral decisions that closely matched those of doctors examining the same patients in person.

The setup is surprisingly simple. Researchers developed a portable attachment that clips onto an Android phone and uses a magnifying lens and two small LEDs to capture consistent images of the front of a patient's eye. A silicone eyepiece blocks outside light and keeps the camera at the correct distance. Better still, the entire setup, including the phone, costs less than £150 (around $200). It also works with a telemedicine app designed for places with limited internet connectivity.

The iPhone Duo feels like a Galaxy Fold 8 redux, with a few clever party tricks
Apple waited years to make a foldable, and it looks all too familiar

Samsung went through the entire journey with foldable smartphones. It started with bulky hinges, terrible cover displays, and heavy bodies. After a few generations, the Galaxy Z Folds became better with each passing year. Xiaomi, Honor, Motorola, Oppo, Huawei, and others pushed the category thinner and lighter along the way.

So when Apple finally unveiled the iPhone Duo, I expected its first foldable to look distinctly Apple. The company has come up with some intuitive uses in iOS 27, and it also has several little software ideas I haven't seen implemented quite the same way elsewhere.

Samsung may give the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra brighter, longer-lasting OLED displays
The phones are said to use the M16 OLED materials already onboard the new iPhones.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone in blue color.

For the past few generations, Samsung’s flagship Ultra phone has felt increasingly predictable. The only upgrade that really grabbed my attention on the Galaxy S26 Ultra earlier this year was its Privacy Display. The Galaxy S27 generation looks different, though, as Samsung appears to be putting some genuine effort into improving its flagship phones.

We have already seen a redesign in leaked renders, heard rumors of a larger battery, and read reports of changes to the zoom camera. Now, according to ETNews, Samsung plans to equip both the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra with Samsung Display’s latest M16 OLED material set. These would be the first Samsung smartphones to use M16.
