Samsung to start deleting inactive accounts soon: Here's how to stop it
Samsung, the South Korean tech giant, has decided to permanently delete all accounts that have been inactive for 24 months as a new move to ensure better data protection. Emails are being sent out to the IDs associated with users' Samsung accounts with a personalized date mentioned on each of them. If the user fails to take any action by the specified date, their account and all data associated with it will be permanently deleted by the company. This new 'inactive Samsung account policy' is aimed at preventing the personal data of users from being tampered with due to prolonged periods of inactivity which could increase risks of leakage. Data from your Google Account will still be secure since that is completely separate from a Samsung account. 'As per our service's policy, your data in Samsung Cloud including data stored in Smart TV, Family Hub, and Galaxy Wearable will be deleted,' the email reads. All such warning messages to intimate customers about this move will be sent before July 31. Since Samsung accounts are required to access any Galaxy device, it's fairly staple for all customers of the company to have one. If you wish to protect your data from being erased, simply log in to your account using a Galaxy device once again to inform the system that you are still an active user and wish to continue with your previous account. If you fail to do so by the date mentioned in your warning email, the company will consider that you no longer wish to receive the data stored on your previous account and delete all such material. Make sure you are still logged into the email associated with your Samsung account, otherwise you may never receive the warning mail. For those using a secondary Samsung account, the same procedure applies. If you switched to another mobile brand but wish to keep your hold account intact, make sure you log into it once before the assigned deadline.

iPhone 16e vs OnePlus 13s: Two good phones and you gain some, you lose some
Slowly and steadily, we are witnessing a resurgence of compact smartphones in the market. Two phones launched in recent memory are the iPhone 16e — this one launched about three months ago. While, the other one launched earlier this week — the OnePlus 13s. In fact, Apple is not new to compact phones in a way. While it's true compact flagship phones were the iPhone 12 and 13 Mini, in the modern day and age, when you look at the standard iPhones too — the 6.1-inch models — those are also not big phones. In fact, Android phone makers market a Galaxy S25, S24, Xiaomi 14, 15, and the likes, with displays in the realm of 6.2 inches, as compact unlike iPhones, the common complaint among compact Android phones has been battery life. As good and handy as the Galaxy S25 is, or the S24 was, the battery life isn't among the best. The simple reason is — a compact phone can only fit in a decent-sized when it comes to iPhones, even with batteries ranging between 3,000mAh to 4,000mAh, the battery life has been stellar. And these are the standard 6.1-inch iPhones we are talking about — not even going to the Plus and Pro Max, which have battery life on another level. Read here - iPhone 16e review: Apple Intelligence and Visual Intelligence for the winWhich brings us to the current scenario. The OnePlus 13s is a modern-day Android phone, which is as compact as the iPhone 16e, but comes with a big 5,850mAh battery in a sleek and handy package. By the way, this is one of the first compact phones to come. Vivo is planning to bring its own compact flagship, rumoured to be the X200 FE, and similarly, we are pretty sure more will follow. But, that's a story for a different now, the iPhone 16e and OnePlus 13s are two compact phones, available for under Rs 60,000, from the iOS and Android camps. In both phones' cases, expect to see stellar battery life. And since we have established that both these phones have solid endurance, and this is one area you need not worry about. What are the other factors that you should keep in mind when choosing between the iPhone 16e and OnePlus 13s?As the headline says — two good phones and you gain some, you lose some. Let's break it 16e vs OnePlus 13s: Design and buildBoth the iPhone 16e and OnePlus 13s feature metal and glass sandwich designs. They have an aluminium frame, flat front and rear, and a sleek profile. The OnePlus 13s is a tad thicker and heavier than the 16e, but the difference isn't much. The iPhone also has a better IP68 dust and water resistance rating versus IP65 on the it comes to colour options, the iPhone 16e comes in black and white, while the OnePlus 13s is offered in more lively colours, like olive green, a beautiful pink, and an industrial black here - OnePlus 13s review: This small phone delivers big on every frontadvertisementOf course, looking at the design — from the front — the OnePlus 13s looks more modern, simply because of thinner bezels and a hole-punch cutout for the camera, something you can't say about the iPhone 16e, which comes with a notch. However, that notch has a big functionality advantage in the form of Face ID, aka IR-based face recognition, which is something Android phones design-wise, while it is easy to count the iPhone 16e out, for its notched look, it does have a big advantage. As for the OnePlus 13s, if you are willing to trade in Apple's Face ID system for an in-display fingerprint solution, then there's nothing like are good-looking devices, and it is only a matter of subjectivity — which one you like more. While the OnePlus 13s is definitely more modern looking, along with an extra camera at the back, the iPhone 16e is surely the more robust one with its IP68 16e vs OnePlus 13s: DisplayAs we keep moving up through the segments, it's going to get tougher to choose one over the other. Take for one — the display. The iPhone 16e, in simple words, has a 6.1-inch OLED display with 800 nits support in High Brightness Mode. On the other hand, the OnePlus 13s has a slightly larger 6.3-inch AMOLED display, with double the support in High Brightness Mode at 1,600 nits and double the screen refresh rate at 120Hz. This is, by the way, an LTPO AMOLED display, which supports variable refresh most folks out there, you won't even notice a thing when using both these phones' displays side by side. Honestly, both have nice and vibrant panels, with almost the same FHD+ resolutions. However, truth be told, the OnePlus 13s does have a big advantage in the brightness department, which will definitely show up under the bright sun. On a sunny day, the OnePlus 13s will be the brighter option over the 16e, hands down. As we mentioned, most folks will not even care about the brightness issue, and the 16e's brightness will suffice. However, in reality and in comparison, if a brighter display is what you want, not to mention a smoother one at that — 120Hz on the 13s and 60Hz on the 16e — the OnePlus here does have the upper 16e vs OnePlus 13s: Performance and batteryThis is where things get fascinating. On one hand, there's the iPhone 16e powered by the A18 chip, including a 6-core CPU and a 4-core GPU, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. On the other hand, there's the OnePlus 13s, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is an 8-core CPU, paired with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. Just looking at the numbers alone, you might think the OnePlus 13s has the upper hand. Well, it's not as easy as it be told, both phones offer top-tier performance, whether you are using the devices for casual tasks or for playing graphics-intensive games. Speaking of which, both chipsets come with support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing in supported games. This means games such as Asphalt 9: Legends and BGMI can take advantage of realistic-looking lighting effects and course, with all that raw power comes battery consumption. On paper, the iPhone 16e has a much smaller battery (4,050mAh) than the OnePlus 13s (5,850mAh). However, in the real world, because Android is a more resource-hungry OS in comparison to iOS, Android phones have generally used bigger batteries than iPhones. Having said that, one can expect to see a similar kind of battery life from both. A heavy user can easily expect to see at least a day's endurance on both when the choice comes down to which one performs better? This is going to be a hard one because both phones here are pretty evenly matched. However, we will give it to the OnePlus 13s, which comes with faster 80W charging, compared to the iPhone 16e's 20W support. That said, for what it's worth, the iPhone 16e has wireless charging, albeit at 7.5W 16e vs OnePlus 13s: SoftwareiPhone 16e comes with iOS 18 and, as it's seen with iPhones, expect to get at least 6–7 years of software support. For instance, the iPhone 11 from 2019, which is 6 years old, is set to receive the next-gen iOS update, so longevity-wise, Apple never disappoints when it comes to timely the Android world, while phone makers have gotten better with software updates, they are not as good as how Apple promises. For what it's worth, the OnePlus 13s is set to receive four major OS updates and six years of security top of this, both phones are loaded to the brim when it comes to AI features. While the iPhone 16e has the Apple Intelligence features, which include photo search, intelligent emoji creation (Genmoji), and AI processing on devices that focus on privacy. The OnePlus 13s comes with its own suite of AI features, like AI Detail Boost, Reflection Eraser, VoiceScribe, and also a productivity tool called Mind once again these phones are pretty evenly matched and are software-rich. Of course, longevity-wise, just in case you are that person who uses their device for at least five to six years, the iPhone 16e will get timely and assured software see, when it comes to software, there's not really a choice here as to which is better. It's simply a matter of preference — whether you prefer Android or iOS. Both have their own 16e vs OnePlus 13s: CameraStraight up in terms of numbers, the OnePlus 13s has more cameras and higher megapixel counts. There's a dual-camera setup at the back — 50-megapixel primary + 50-megapixel telephoto — along with a 32-megapixel selfie snapper. The iPhone 16e, on the other hand, has a single 48-megapixel rear camera along with a 12-megapixel snapper at the it comes to photography and videography, these phones are definitely not the best out there. But, since these are high-end phones, and high-end phone cameras in general have gotten so good, that in ideal conditions, both phones' cameras will perform they do have an advantage over one another. While the iPhone 16e has better video-recording capabilities, as iPhones are known for, the OnePlus 13s is a more versatile camera with the addition of that 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and not to mention a higher resolution front camera, that does slightly edge out the iPhone 16e in terms of 16e vs OnePlus 13s: Price in IndiaThe iPhone 16e, without any card offers, is officially priced at Rs 59,900, Rs 69,900, and Rs 89,900, for the 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options, respectively. 8GB RAM is standard on all OnePlus 13s, on the other hand, is priced at Rs 54,999 and Rs 59,999, for the 256GB and 512GB storage options, respectively. 12GB RAM is standard on both 16e vs OnePlus 13s: It's a tough pickChoosing between the iPhone 16e and the OnePlus 13s isn't easy, and that's because both of these phones get the fundamentals right. If you're after a compact phone with solid battery life, sleek design, and reliable day-to-day performance, either option will serve you well. The iPhone 16e has the edge in terms of long-term software support, IP68 water and dust resistance, and more polished video recording. It also benefits from the Apple ecosystem, and features like Face ID offer a different level of security and ease. However, the 60Hz display feels a bit dated in 2025, and wired charging speeds are slow by today's the other hand, the OnePlus 13s offers more value on paper — a brighter, smoother display, faster charging, more RAM, and a versatile camera system with a telephoto lens. It also comes with more vibrant colour options and a sleeker front design. That said, it lacks the refinement of iOS, true water resistance, and wireless charging. So, your decision here really depends on what you prioritise more — software longevity and video chops or better hardware value and versatility on the Android side.

US stock market rallies as Dow jumps 550 points, S&P 500 tops 6,000, Nasdaq surges and Tesla leads tech comeback after strong jobs report
US stock market surges as Dow rallies 500 points on strong jobs report as S&P 500 retakes 6,000 in tech-powered comeback- The Dow rallies 500 points today after a stronger-than-expected May jobs report reassured traders that the U.S. economy is still chugging along even as tariff talks and interest-rate worries linger. The blue-chip index jumped 510 points, or 1.2%. The S&P 500 touched the 6,000 mark for the first time since late February, also up 1.2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.4%. Wall Street's bounce was driven by a 3 percent rebound in Tesla — a sharp U-turn from yesterday's 14 percent slide that followed CEO Elon Musk's public spat with President Donald Trump on social media. Big tech names such as Nvidia, Meta Platforms, and Apple all traded firmly in the green, adding momentum to Friday's rally. Below, we unpack the numbers, the catalysts, and the lingering risks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all surge Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 555 points , or about 1.3% , finishing near 42,841 — its best single-day gain in nearly two months. S&P 500 jumped 1.2% and broke through the 6,000 mark for the first time ever, closing around 6,012 . Nasdaq Composite climbed roughly 1.4% , powered by mega-cap tech stocks and a strong bounce in Tesla. It was a strong finish to a choppy week, with investors embracing optimism after several days of uncertainty. Strong jobs data adds fuel The U.S. labor market remains impressively resilient: Live Events May non-farm payrolls came in at 139,000 jobs added , topping economists' expectations. Unemployment rate held steady at 4.2% . The data signals continued economic strength but also reinforces that the Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates before September — a shift traders seem increasingly comfortable with. Tech comeback driven by Tesla Tech stocks came roaring back after taking a hit earlier this week, largely due to the Trump–Musk spat. Tesla shares jumped between 3.6% and 4.5% , helping restore confidence across the sector. Other tech leaders also bounced back: Nvidia : +1.6% Apple : +1.9% Amazon , Alphabet , and Meta all closed solidly in the green. The rally was broad-based, but tech clearly led the charge. Other market movers Russell 2000 (small-cap stocks) gained 1.3% , showing strong participation across the board. VIX (Volatility Index) dropped to a two-month low, signaling calm returning to markets. Sentiment was also lifted by signs of cooling U.S.–China trade tensions, another risk factor that has recently weighed on markets. Why did the Dow rally 500 points after the May jobs report? The Bureau of Labor Statistics said nonfarm payrolls rose by 139,000 in May, topping the Dow Jones consensus of 125,000 but easing from April's downwardly revised 147,000. Unemployment stayed at 4.2 percent. 'Today's hiring beat shows the labor market is holding up in spite of slower growth elsewhere,' noted Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise, in a CNBC interview. How did the S&P 500 climb back above 6,000 so quickly? Fresh jobs data calmed fears of an imminent slowdown, prompting investors to scoop up stocks that looked oversold after a choppy week. At its intraday peak, the broad-market benchmark sat less than 3 percent below February's record close, putting a milestone rebound in sight. Tesla stock rebounds nearly 6% as Trump-Musk tensions cool and investors look ahead to robotaxi launch Tesla stock (TSLA) staged a powerful comeback on Friday, climbing 5.85% to close at $301.35 , after a dramatic sell-off the day before. The rebound came as tensions between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump appeared to ease, and investors shifted their focus back to Tesla's big-picture innovations — particularly its highly anticipated robotaxi rollout coming later this month. Price : US $301.35 Change : +$16.65 (+5.85%) intraday Today's range : $291.43 – $301.96 Volume : 74.7 million shares traded What's driving Tesla's recovery? 1. Musk-Trump feud cools off Tesla had plunged over 14% on Thursday after reports of strained relations between Elon Musk and Trump, which raised concerns about political and regulatory risks. But with the heat now seemingly dialed down, the stock surged, clawing back a large chunk of those losses. 2. Eyes on the robotaxi launch Investors are increasingly focused on Tesla's next major catalyst: the debut of its robotaxi service , expected around mid-June. The move could open up a new revenue stream and solidify Tesla's place at the forefront of autonomous tech. 3. Technical bounce After falling below key support levels, Tesla stock rebounded sharply from oversold territory. Friday's rally brought it back above $300 — a psychologically important level for many traders. 4. High volume, high interest More than 74 million shares traded hands Friday, signaling strong buying interest and a renewed sense of optimism. Analyst take: cautious optimism Despite Friday's big move, analysts remain somewhat divided. The average 12-month price target still sits around $283–$290 , suggesting the stock could drift slightly lower from current levels. However, many remain bullish on Tesla's long-term growth potential, especially as it moves beyond EVs into AI and autonomous transport. Are tech giants like Tesla, Nvidia, Meta, and Apple leading the charge again? Yes. Tesla jumped more than 3 percent as bargain hunters stepped in after Thursday's plunge. Nvidia, Meta, and Apple each gained over 1 percent, restoring tech leadership and accounting for a big slice of today's index advance. What does the stronger jobs report mean for the Federal Reserve's June 17–18 meeting? With job growth still positive, traders scaled back bets on an immediate rate cut. Futures now imply the Fed will hold its policy rate steady while it waits for clearer signals on how fresh tariffs and cooling service-sector data feed into inflation. Could summer tariffs and weaker services data stall this rebound? Possibly. Weekly jobless claims ticked higher, ADP reported just 37,000 private-sector hires in May, and the ISM's services gauge slipped unexpectedly. Saglimbene cautions that tariff impacts 'should start showing up in the data over the summer,' meaning markets 'are holding judgment on growth and profitability for the next couple quarters.' FAQs: What caused the Dow to rally 500 points today? Stronger-than-expected May jobs data boosted investor confidence. Why did the S&P 500 hit 6,000 again? A tech stock rebound and solid labor market pushed it above 6,000.
