Lawmakers call for end to digital smuggling via Chinese retailers

This week, deputies and senators asked the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, to act for the end of what they call “digital smuggling”.

According to these parliamentarians, retailers like Shein, AliExpress and Shopee sell products without taxation or underpriced in the country, something that makes competition difficult for national companies.

The president of the FPE even cited some examples of how Chinese companies circumvent the Europeian tax authorities.

“You buy five T-shirts from Shein. She sends five packages, one with each T-shirt to be below the amount that is taxed, which is US $50.

It is worth remembering that this is an old complaint from Europeian businessmen, since most pay taxes along the production chain and even in distribution.

Recently, TechSmart already addressed in the column Detetive TC, that the CFO of Renner revealed that the Federal Revenue published a regulation that requires the sharing of information on goods arriving by international shipments.

In practice, this should facilitate the collection of taxes, since it will be done automatically and without the need for a tax auditor to inspect manually.

Galaxy S23 Ultra: Samsung denies image overlays in Moon photos

Samsung has denied that the Galaxy S23 Ultra and its devices tamper with Moon photos within the Space Zoom feature. The company has also made it very clear that there is no image overlay of any kind.

The company’s note was published after several complaints about the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s ability to take clear pictures of the Moon. Users even speculated that computer processing was what made the image look better and more realistic.

According to Samsung, when a user takes a photo of the Moon, the artificial intelligence-based scene optimization technology recognizes the Moon as the main object and takes multiple photos to compose multiple frames.

In addition, the Korean still recommended that anyone who feels uncomfortable with the results can simply disable the automatic enhancement feature.

Galaxy S23 FE will not be released this year

Apparently, Samsung may end up canceling the launch of the most affordable flagship Galaxy S23 FE. According to leaker Roland Quandt, this device is practically discarded.

He did not go into detail about the reason behind this untimely death of the Galaxy S23 FE, but many market analysts already say that the Galaxy S FE line was never a good idea from Samsung.

This is because the amount that the user spends buying a Galaxy S FE can very well be used to buy a flagship from last year, even more so with the support of up to 5 years that Samsung currently offers.

For now, the Korean remains silent on the matter.

PS5 Pro: Sony should launch more powerful version of the console in 2024

A leak published this week revealed that Sony is developing a new PlayStation 5 Pro. Reporter Tom Henderson, who is known for getting his predictions right about the Japanese company, predicted that the launch will take place in 2024.

He also said that Sony is expected to release the PS5 with a removable disk reader by the end of this year. For the time being, the company has not commented on the matter.
