How to take better photos with any smartphone

ZAP Notícias2 September 2026 at 19:30

Modern smartphones have increasingly advanced camera hardware and image processing software. However, most users limit themselves to pointing and shooting when taking photos, without exploring all the available features.

The best current smartphones allow you to get good images even without great concern for lighting, framing, or white balance, thanks to technological advances. Still, knowing some available tools can significantly improve photographs with just a few seconds of additional work.

The tips presented apply to Android 17 on Pixel, One UI 8.5 on Galaxy and iOS 27 on iPhone, according to Popular Science. Some features may vary depending on the device model.

The problem many motorcycles suffer at traffic lights that technology can solve

Many motorcyclists face the problem of not being detected by traffic light sensors when they stop correctly, resulting in permanent red lights while other vehicles continue to pass. This problem is not necessarily due to a malfunction, but rather to the fact that many traffic light systems cannot detect the presence of motorcycles, which are lighter and generate a smaller magnetic signal than cars. Fortunately, technology offers solutions to this problem, such as more sensitive sensors or vehicle-infrastructure communication systems.

GNR warns anyone who receives a new bank card by mail: don't do this or you could lose your money

GNR is warning about a new bank fraud scheme that arrives through traditional mail. Victims receive a letter seemingly sent by the bank, containing a supposed new bank card with their personal details. The letter includes a QR code that, when scanned, redirects to a fake bank page — a technique known as "quishing." By entering credentials or personal data on this fraudulent page, victims hand over information to scammers, potentially losing money and suffering identity theft. GNR recommends never using QR codes received by mail to activate bank cards and that, in case of doubt, you should contact the bank directly through official channels.
