YouTube introduces video previews to more users

YouTube now features preview thumbnails for videos on its desktop website. Users can now have a 3-second preview of the video content by simply hovering the mouse pointer over a video. The feature has been up since the end of June, however, few users have had the opportunity since February.

We are already half way through July and YouTube has presented the feature to a majority of users. Users can preview the video content through thumbnails that are similar to GIFs on YouTube home pages, search results, watch page, subscription tab, and trending tab. Moreover, the previews on YouTube will only be visible to Chrome versions 32 and up and Opera version 19 and up users. The thumbnails on mobile devices have not received the feature yet. As far as the eligibility for videos to showcase animated thumbnails is concerned, YouTube only generates previews for videos that are more than 30 seconds in length. Live videos do not feature the preview as well. YouTube is using AI to generate previews for videos by taking into account factors such as topic and content of the video. The preview is generated from the first half of the video since the first half is believed to give the best idea of what the content of the video actually is. YouTubers cannot choose the preview they want to showcase as of now. If you are unable to have a look at the preview for a video within next two days it probably will not have a preview anytime soon.

New Philips phone with 8MP camera visits TENAA

New Philips phone with 8MP camera visits TENAA A Philips smartphone bearing the model number S310X has just been certified by Chinese regulatory authority TENAA. So we assume that the company will first release the smartphone in China. Looking at the TENAA listing, the Philips S310X comes with not so impressive specs. It is listed with 1GB, 2GB and 3GB of RAM for the memory capacity. So most probably, the smartphone will come in three different memory variants. There is another possibility that Philips has not yet decided which amount of RAM would be used. In addition, the Philips phone would be available in three different storage variants as well. The basic version with 8GB, another with 16GB, and the highest one with 32GB of native storage space. So presumably, the Philips S310X will have three variations of this device with the 8GB model corresponding to the 1GB RAM variant, while the 16GB model corresponds to the 2GB RAM variant and the 32GB model corresponds to the 3G...
