After Android and iOS apps, Twitter’s Clubhouse-inspired Spaces now available on browser
Around a year after iOS exclusivity, Clubhouse has officially launched for Android-based smartphones earlier this month. However, everyone is well-known for the rapidly rising popularity of this drop in audio chat social media platform, rivals also started updating their functionalities and feature offerings.
In a recent development, Twitter announced that it is expanding the social audio rooms, better known as “Spaces”, which is quite similar to the Clubhouse! So far, you could only join Spaces from Twitter’s Android and iOS applications, but you are now able to join Spaces from desktop and mobile web browsers.
Below, you can see how a Spaces look like on the Twitter web. The first (left) image shows what you will see before joining a Space, while the second (right) displays a Space off to the side so you can continue scrolling through Twitter while you listen.

Twitter Spaces revealed its focus areas:
- Infrastructure and listening UI that adapts to your screen size
- Setting reminders for scheduled spaces
- Accessibility and transcriptions
According to TheVerge sources, “Spaces on the web have a big caveat, though: you can join Spaces, but you can’t host them yourself just yet.”
Over the past few months, Twitter has been rapidly opening up and adding features to compete with dedicated social audio apps Clubhouse and similar features from companies such as Discord and Facebook. Earlier this month, Twitter started rolling out the ability to host Spaces on mobile to anyone with 600 or more followers.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 could pack Exynos 2400e and Exynos 2500
Samsung could pack the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 with Exynos processors. The company could launch its first affordable foldable phone next year. The device could get a different camera and processor from the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Leaker Jukanlosreve revealed that Samsung could use the Exynos 2400e in the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The former Exynos variant powers the Galaxy S24 FE, while the Exynos 2500 is an upcoming product.
Samsung previously intended to use Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. However, the chip has a major performance difference from its Snapdragon counterpart. This led the company to solely rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the S25 series.
Exynos 2500 is being manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 3nm process node. The yield rate is quite low (around 20%), which is far from the production threshold. However, Samsung chose the path to produce the chip at such a low yield rate.
Exynos 2400 has proven to be a decent chip with no frustrating flaws. The Exynos 2400e could be used in the Z Flip FE. The “e” model could be made using IPoP (Integrated Package on Package) tech, which is cheaper than the standard method.
Recently, a Korean media outlet reported that Samsung Foundry has started mass production of a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip. It was initially intended to be used in the S25 and S25 Plus, but issues pushed it towards the second-half debut in the Z Flip 7.
