  • Social Media Use Increases Depression And Loneliness, According To Study

    Social Media Use Increases Depression And Loneliness, According To Study

    Around a month back, the World Mental Health Day was celebrated. It laid emphasis on the importance of mental health, especially in today’s world. The emphasis in today’s world is due to the fact that increasing exposure to certain technology has in fact resulted in people becoming more distant from each other. While these were just speculations until now, a study now backs up this claim. The study proves that a relation exists between social media use and increased depression and loneliness.

    The Study

    The study was conducted by the University of Pennsylvania and for the first time, did not place the users in unrealistic situations. Earlier studies were done in laboratory conditions, were data was collected during short spans of time. Which were sometimes even within a duration of one hour. During these studies, users were sometimes not even using social media platforms like Facebook and mostly relied on self-reported data.

    The study conducted now, aimed at a more comprehensive and rigorous approach towards the issue. The study included three of the most used social media platforms, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram. The participants of the survey, which were around 140, recorded their mood. This was done both before and after using these social media platforms. They also share screenshots of their iPhone battery information to see how many hours a day they used the social media apps. They were then split into two groups. One group was allowed to consume the same amount of social media every day, while the other group had their share reduced to 10 minutes, per platform, per day.

    The Findings

    Based on the data received from the above, they identified seven major problems among the participants. These include the fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness, among others. The result of the survey was as stated, the fact that more social media exposure led to more mental health issues. The researchers even went further to say that they believe anyone between the age of 18-22 should stop using social media altogether.

    The researches suggest that one stays away from social media as much as possible. And should spend more time with people in their lives. The awareness about the same is on the rise. Google has introduced its Digital Wellness program which ensures that you spend more quality time with those around you. This program is big in all google devices and some features are present in almost all Android smartphones. Apple also introduced certain parameters to limit the time you use a certain app in a day, with its latest updates.

     

  • Galaxy S10 Lite Pricing & Specs Leaked

    Galaxy S10 Lite Pricing & Specs Leaked

    Samsung is expected to release the Galaxy S10 range of smartphones in Q1 of 2019 with major upgrades from the current generation. Recently Ben Geskin, a Concept designer has leaked the specifications and prices for the upcoming Galaxy S10 Lite. As the name suggests, it will be a low spec variant of the upcoming flagship Galaxy S10.

    Galaxy S10 Lite Specifications:

    The Galaxy S10 Lite will feature a flat Infinity-O display which the company recently showcased at their developer’s conference. The Infinity O is Samsung’s effort in creating a high screen-to-body ratio display. It has a circular cutout for the front-facing selfie camera and is surely a new approach when compared to the usual notch. The smartphone will have dual-rear cameras, exact details of which are unavailable at the moment.

    The Galaxy S10 Lite will have a side mounted fingerprint sensor. It might be similar to the side mounted fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy A7 which also doubles as the power button. In terms of storage, the smartphone will be available in 3 RAM/ROM variants which are as follows:

    • 4 GB RAM +64 GB ROM
    • 6 GB RAM +64 GB ROM
    • 6 GB RAM +128 GB ROM

    However, the support for a microSD card is unclear as of now. Talking about the chipset, Ben Geskin suggests that the device will either have the Snapdragon 845 or the upcoming Snapdragon 8150. The Snapdragon 845 is an Octa-Core SoC based on 10 nm architecture whereas the Snapdragon 8150 is based on 7 nm architecture. Hence, it is a faster and efficient processor than the Snapdragon 845.

    Galaxy S10 Lite Price:

    The twitter post suggests that the Galaxy S10 Lite will be priced between $ 650-750 (around Rs 47,000- Rs 54,000). The smartphone will most probably be launched during the Mobile World Congress 2019 which is set for 25-29 February.  The company is also likely to showcase the highly anticipated foldable Galaxy F during the same event.

  • Analyst Predicts iPhone XR Shipments To Be 30 % Lower

    Analyst Predicts iPhone XR Shipments To Be 30 % Lower

    iPhone XR is the cheapest iPhone sold by Apple, from its latest lineup. Except for the Liquid Retina display, single camera, 3 GB RAM, IP 67 rating and lack of 3D Touch, it gets almost all the same specs as the more expensive iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. The smartphone definitely catches a lot of attention due to its funky colours and low price, but that is not enough to rake in high sales, claims an analyst. Ming-Chi Kuo is a senior writer at Macrumors and is also an analyst at TF Securities, a financial services group in Asia-Pacific region. The analyst gathers information from Apple’s Asian supply chain to further pass it to his clients.

    The analyst claims that the demand for Apple’s iPhone XR is less than expected and which might result in 30% lower shipments. Previously, it was estimated that Apple will ship 100 million units of the iPhone XR between Q4 of 2018 and Q3 of 2019. But now it is reckoned that the company will only be able to ship out around 70 million units of the handset during the given period.

    Top factors affecting its demand are:

    • Price of iPhone XR
    • Competition from other smartphones

    Additionally, the report points that overall sales of iPhones might also decline by 15-20 % in Q1 of 2019 compared to the this year. The demands might fall short, however, the iPhone XR is definitely a smartphone with solid performance, sturdy build, and top-notch specifications. For reference:

  • Apple’s New Patent Show’s Off An In-Display Camera

    Apple’s New Patent Show’s Off An In-Display Camera

    With the notch being present on two generations of iPhones, everyone was wondering as to what will be Apple’s next step towards a bezel-less display. Well, we might have the answer now. A patent, filed by Apple back in June, has finally been approved. The patent shows a smartphone with just a camera cut-out in the display.

    The Bezel-Less Future

    Apple isn’t the first company to patent such a design, though. This was seen in patents by Samsung, LG and even Asus. Huawei recently patented a design with just a cut-out for the earpiece. While these designs were only limited to smartphones, the patent by Apple seems to have much more.

    The patent describes a method with which a camera window can be integrated with the ‘cover glass’. Obviously the cover glass being referred to here is the display. Additionally it mentions only LCD displays as an example. This may not mean that OLED displays are completely eliminated. But, we can expect that the technology might be restricted to just LCD displays as of now.

    It is possible that Apple may just introduce it in its 6.1 inch LCD iPhone coming next year. Which might be the successor to the iPhone XR. However, there is also a possibility that the tech giant won’t hold back. It might ensure that its flagship devices carry the latest design language as well. Considering the fact that the patent was filed back in June, the company might have figured out a way to integrate it into OLED displays as well.

    Not Just iPhones

    Another interesting bit of information we get from the patent is the fact that it mentions not only mobile phones but also other hand held devices. These include larger devices such as portable computers, tablet commuters, etc. This could mean that Apple might not limit this design to only the iPhones. It might extend it to iPads, MacBooks and iMacs as well. This is quite probable as Apple introduced a totally new design language with the latest iPad Pro.

    Whether this patent will be seen through and will give us a device which goes into production is still a huge question. But, considering the pace at which the smartphone industry is moving forward, it is safe to assume that companies will no longer hold back on any innovations they have.

    A ‘Concept Video’ Of The Samsung Galaxy F Surfaces

    Foldable phones have been rumored for years and finally, Samsung showcased a working prototype of one such device in their developer’s conference. The device will most probably be called the Samsung Galaxy F, owing to its foldable screen. Recently, in an interview with Yonhapnews (a South Korean news agency), Samsung said that the Galaxy F will be commercially available in the first half of 2019.

    The company also claims to sell at least 1 million units of the foldable phone within the first year of its launch. According to sources, the smartphone will have a hefty price tag of $ 1,770 (around 2 million Korean Won). Any technical specification except the screen size of the Galaxy F is currently unavailable. Recently, a YouTube channel with the username ‘Concept Creator’ has shared a concept video of the foldable Galaxy F.

    Galaxy F Concept

    The concept video shows a smartphone that folds out into a sleek looking tablet. The tablet mode has a 4.2:3 aspect ratio, edge-to-edge display with rounded corners and negligible bezels. In the smartphone mode, it has a smaller, 4.3-inch infinity display with thick top and bottom bezels. The front-facing selfie camera is present on the top bezel of the phone.

  • Foldable Samsung Phone Will Launch In First Half of 2019

    Foldable Samsung Phone Will Launch In First Half of 2019

    Lately, Samsung has been in the news because of their smartphone with a foldable display. The company gave a glimpse of the foldable phone recently at their Developer Conference held in San Francisco. The president of Samsung Mobile division, DJ Koh in a press briefing said that the foldable phone will be available within the first half of the next year.

  • Huawei Files Patent For Smartphone With An In-Display Earpiece

    Huawei Files Patent For Smartphone With An In-Display Earpiece

    Huawei is a China-based tech giant that also manufactures smartphones. The company is working hard and continuously developing new technologies. They are the world’s first company to make a 7nm Android chipset, the Kirin 980. And recently the company has filed a patent for a smartphone with an earpiece cutout in the display.

    Earpiece Hole Display

    The recently filed patent by Huawei illustrates a smartphone with an earpiece cavity in the display. It is an effort to maximise the screen real estate without having to opt for a slider like the one present on Mi Mix 3 and Honor Magic 2. The smartphone in the patent has extremely thin bezels which indicate the device will use swipe gestures to navigate to different menus. The image shows that the power button and volume rockers are present on the right side of the smartphone.

    The patent also discloses that the smartphone will have a rear-mounted fingerprint and not an in-display one like the OnePlus 6T. Additionally, the device in the patent has a USB Type-C port at the bottom and a 3.5 mm audio jack at the top. The back of the smartphone has a capsule shape ridge which most probably will house dual cameras and an LED flash.

  • A Brain-Like SuperComputer With 1 Million Processors Is Here

    A Brain-Like SuperComputer With 1 Million Processors Is Here

    Having taken up more than 15 Million Euros, 20 years of conception and more than 10 years of construction, the world’s largest brain-like supercomputer has finally got its final coprocessor, making it ready to be switched on. The machine just got its one-millionth processor. While the majority of its contributions will be towards science. It can also help assistants like Alexa and Siri better understand accents among different human beings.

    Named the Spiking Neural Network Architecture or SpiNNaker for short. The supercomputer is capable of completing more than 200 million actions per second. Additionally, each of its chips has a 100 million transistors. The machine has been designed and developed by the School Of Computer Science at the University of Manchester and can model more biological neutrons than any other machine, in real time.

     The Science Behind All The Processors

    To understand how this supercomputer works, we just need to understand how the human brain works. The human brain sends out a series of messages through an intricate network of parallel communication architecture. computers on the other hand, send chunks of information from Point A to Point B, no matter how large the information is. The SpiNNaker on the other hand, mimics the brain and uses a number of parallel connections to simultaneously send billions of small bits of information to different destinations.

    By doing so, the supercomputer ends up mimicking the billions of biological neurons present in the brain. The brain uses a spikes of electro chemical-energy to send this information across. The SpiNNaker uses large scale systems with electronic circuits to mimc the spikes seen as seen in the human brain.

    The ultimate objective of the team is to make sure that they can mimic the entirety of the human brain. To put things in perspective, the 1 Million processor supercomputer can just mimic 1% of the brain. The supercomputer can then help scientists to better understand how the human brain works and the process it goes through. This will be a huge boost for neuroscience. On the technology front, the supercomputer can be used to help Alexa and Siri better understand human accents and how we interact with machines.

  • Android Q Will Have Multi-Resume Support For Apps

    Android Q Will Have Multi-Resume Support For Apps

    Google’s Android Dev Summit 2018 was held in California during November 7 & 9. Lead Developers demonstrated a lot of changes the upcoming Android Q will have. One key change is Multi-Resume support for applications. The developers are provided with tools with which they can integrate the feature in Android 9.0 Pie apps as well but, it will be mandatory in Android Q.

    What Is Multi-Resume?

    Running simultaneous applications on an Android smartphone is not new. It has been available since the release on Android N (Nougat) in the form of split-screen. It allows users to run two simultaneous apps side-by-side. However, the feature has had limitations up till now. Earlier, the system would pause one app while the other is in use. But, it is soon going to change with the upcoming Multi-Resume feature.

    The new feature will allow users to keep multiple apps running live on-screen. It means the users will be able to interact with more than one app concurrently without having the system to pause the other app. This revolutionary feature will make it very much equivalent to a traditional desktop working environment. This feature might not be as useful on a small screen device but, will surely boost productivity on a larger screen tablet.

    Possibilities With Multi-Resume:
    • Video Conferencing: The new feature will open new possibilities for video conferencing. The users will be able to talk with their contacts while still having access to relevant content in another window. This will be beneficial for business personnel who are usually making online meetings via Skype or similar apps.
    • Drag & Drop Files: Although Google has not talked anything about the possibility of this feature. This can be another key advantage of Multi-Resume support.
    • Browsing & Maps: The user can even browse the web and search for relevant details with ongoing navigation.

    To conclude, the possibilities of Multi-Resume on Android are innumerable and are only limited to the vision & skills of the developer.

  • BattleField 1 Players Observed Cease Fire In Honour Of World War I

    BattleField 1 Players Observed Cease Fire In Honour Of World War I

    November 11th, 2018 marked the centenary of the end of World War I or the Great War as we know it. The end was brought about by an armistice which was signed between the Allies and the German powers which ended the fighting on the western front. The treaty of Versailles, which came into effect an year later, officially ended all aspects of the war. People all over the world paid their respects to the lives lost in the war. So did players of Battlefield I, in a certain online match.

    The ‘Armistice’

    At exactly 11 AM Melbourne time, the two sides playing Battlefield I came to a stop after an unofficial ‘truce’ was called. Battlefield I is based on World War I itself, so a homage like this is the perfect setting. Also adding to it was the exact timing. The armistice was called on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918. Realising that he is a part of a historical moment in the game, one player recorded this magnificent sight.

    However, the peace was unfortunately short-lived as a biplane swooped down and started bombing troops. This was followed by a player stabbing the very person who was recording the entire episode. This was an unfortunate end to a beautiful moment. Fortunately this was not how it unfolded in reality, back in 1918.
