Motorola Is Also Working On A Foldable Smartphone Cum Tablet

Motorola was the first company to produce a handheld mobile phone in the year 1973. Over the years, the company has produced several exceptional devices some of which include the Moto RAZR and Moto G. A report published by the WSJ claimed that the company is developing a successor to the Moto RAZR which will have a foldable display. A fresh patent exhibits that the company is not only working on the foldable Moto RAZR but is also working on a large smartphone cum tablet with a foldable display.

Foldable Motorola Tablet Cum Smartphone

In mid-2017, Motorola filed a patent with two different patent agencies which include USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office). The patent was published on 10 January 2019 and it discloses information about a Foldable smartphone cum tablet that the company is working on.

The patent for the foldable device from Motorola highlights several technologies that are currently unheard of. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy F, the Motorola device in the patent folds outwards. It proposes an innovative feature to navigate through smartphones. When in the folded state, the touchscreen that faces the rear can be used to navigate menus on the front screen. In simpler words, the user can control activities on the front display with the help of touch gestures on the rear display.

The foldable Motorola smartphone cum tablet has a home button on the right side and it also has a custom UI (User Interface) for easy navigation on a tall and narrow device. In addition to navigation via the rear side display, the front camera in the top bezel tracks the head movement of the user and can be used for hands-free navigation.

Another image from the patents shows that the foldable Motorola smartphone cum tablet can be used as an alarm clock when set in a partially folded state. While it is set on a flat surface as an alarm clock, the user can continue using the other half of the screen.

Redmi Note 7 Survives After Being Used As Skates And Thrown Down From Stairs
Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Redmi launched the Redmi Note 7 smartphone earlier this month in China. Due to its aggressive pricing the phone is attracting a lot of attention. A picture posted on weibo revealed a hidden feature of the Redmi Note 7. Two fresh videos shared by the company on a Chinese social media platform testify that the smartphone is not only loaded with features but it is also very durable.

In the first video, a user attaches castor wheels to the rear of the Redmi Note 7 with the help of high strength tape and then rides the makeshift skates. Surprisingly, the device not only survives this abuse, its display seems to work perfectly fine that too without any noticeable scratches.

The second video again torments the Redmi Note 7 but in a completely different manner. A unit of the Redmi Note 7 is placed in a bin which is sealed from top and then rolled down the staircase. This video is an ideal demonstration of how a smartphone would get through in an accidental staircase drop. Like the first video, the Redmi Note 7 mainly stays unharmed without any noticeable damage.

Although an actual device would seldom face such an abuse, the videos certainly reflect the build quality and durability of the Redmi Note 7.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Might Have A Secondary Display

Samsung’s Galaxy series of phones are the most anticipated high end smartphones along with Huawei, iPhones and Oneplus phones. So it does not come as a surprise that everyone has focused their attention on the new Galaxy S10 series of phones.

According to a Dutch media source, Samsung had filed a new patent which includes the provision for a tiny second display. This isn’t the average display at the back of the phone, but a display overlay over the front camera. Most phones with punch hole cameras have to leave the lens part blackened out. The new patent wishes to put a screen on top of it. This is so that it can display relevant icons such as an animation of a heart when performing biometrics, a red outline if the camera is not ready, a green outline when it is and so on. The transparent screen will hide various optical components which work with the help of light. These include proximity sensors, lighting sensors and the front camera. This will enable the phone to have a cleaner design and will be a much better experience for the users.

Details

The second screen area will supposedly have a lower resolution than the main screen. The two display areas will work independently of each other. The display will also be able to show colours and the transparency of the small display will vary.

Samsung has spoken about correcting the image displayed on the second screen. This can be done using a technology they are calling ‘light path conversion device’. It is integrated as an additional display layer, in a grid pattern. The smartphone is also said to be able to detect if the area is being used for the camera or biometrics. We will have to wait and see if these new patents are in any way incorporated into new phones. Specially the the soon-to-be-launched galaxy S10 but it seems highly unlikely since many previous leaks suggest the phone to have a punch hole camera like any other phone.

Redmi Go NBTC Certification Suggests It Will Launch Soon

Redmi has lately been in the news because of the newly launched Redmi Note 7 smartphones. Several reports claim that the company will soon launch an entry-level smartphone called the Redmi Go which will be targetted towards developing countries. The smartphone has received certification at Thai NBTC (National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission) which indicates that the launch of the device is imminent. Although the listing does not reveal any specifications of the upcoming Redmi Go.

Redmi Go Expected Features & Construction

Since it is an entry-level smartphone, it is expected to have a plastic or a polycarbonate shell that will allow the company to pack better specs into it. A past leak claims that the smartphone will sport a 5.9-inch display with HD+ resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. Also due to the low price, it is expected to have 1 GB of RAM an 16 GB of inbuilt storage.

The Redmi Go is believed to have a 5 MP selfie camera and an 8 MP rear camera along with an LED flash. It will likely run on the Go edition of the latest Android 9.0 Pie. Other specifications like the battery capacity and chipset details will only be revealed at the time of its official launch.

Launch Date and Price

Samsung Might Stop Producing Flagship Smartphones In India

Samsung is a leader in smartphone technology and is one of the most successful companies in the Indian market. The company has shared a piece of shocking news that claims it might stop producing flagship devices like the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 in the country.

Reason Behind Possible Discontinuation

Samsung highlighted that India’s Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) is the main reason behind this decision. PMP aims to boost local manufacturing of components in the country which was originally planned to take effect from the month of March 2020. However, the Indian government has now decided to prepone the date of its implementation which will go into effect from February 2019. Companies that don’t produce the said components in India from next month are subjected to pay 10% duty tax on any imported components.

This sudden change in the decided date of PMP’s implementation is now pestering Samsung as the company still imports AMOLED displays which are used on flagship devices. According to the company, displays account for 25-30% of a smartphone’s total cost and the 10% duty implied by the Indian government can significantly increase manufacturing costs. Even though Samsung is setting up a local plant for the assembly of AMOLED panels in the county, it won’t be operational until April 2020. Reportedly the company has notified the Indian government if such a duty is implemented, it will stop producing flagship smartphones locally. Additionally, the company will also reduce the manufacturing of midrange and budget smartphones.

It is still undecided whether the government will negotiate with Samsung or not and only time will tell about the future of local smartphone production by the company.

Galaxy S10 Will Have Samsung Neuro Game Booster Technology

Korean smartphone manufacturer, Samsung is soon expected to launch the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones. The company has announced that the Galaxy S10 lineup along with the foldable phone allegedly called the Galaxy F will be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event. As the smartphones are nearing their launch date, more of their features tend to surface online. The company filed a patent with EUIPO (European Intellectual Property Office) on 21 January 2019 that concerns the ‘Neuro Game Booster Technology’ on future Samsung smartphones. Apparently, the upcoming flagship smartphone from the company is the Galaxy S10 which is most likely to have this feature.

What is Neuro Game Booster Technology?

The patent clearly mentions that this technology is mainly associated with gaming and smartphones. Additionally, it also talks about AI (Artificial Intelligence). Combining all the points from the patent suggest that Samsung is developing software that will enhance mobile gaming with the help of AI algorithms.

What is The Need Of Neuro Game Booster Technology?

Although modern smartphones are loaded with powerful processors massive amounts of RAM, use of such software can provide an even smooth and joyful gaming experience. The technology will optimise the allocation of resources to various applications. While running heavy games it would either stop other processes or provide them with limited resources. As most of the resources would be used to run the onscreen game itself.

Microsoft Is Officially Ending Support For Windows Phone, Asks Users To Switch To Android Or iOS

Windows 10 mobile is an operating system that was developed by Microsoft and was released in the year 2015. It is a successor to the Windows Phone 8.1 and was derived from Windows 10 to work on devices that have a screen size under 9-inch. Windows 10 mobile entered the market with Lumia brand smartphones in 2015.

Although Windows 10 powered smartphones had up to date specifications, Microsoft was unable to create a seamless ecosystem like Android or iOS. Later in October 2017, Microsoft revealed the development of Windows 10 mobile has been ceased due to low market share and lack of third-party development for the platform.

Microsoft has announced that the company will soon stop releasing security updates for the platform. Smartphones running on Windows 10 Mobile version 1709 will receive updates until December 10. While the devices running on version 1703 will only last through June 11.

Microsoft has recommended Windows 10 Mobile users to manually create a backup of their data with the help of built-in tool before termination of support. This announcement does not necessarily impact all the 3rd applications on Windows 10 Mobile. As these applications would continue to function until their developers provide support for them.

Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft has advertised Cortana users from Windows 10 Mobile to continue using the voice assistant application on Android and iOS applications.

Disappointing Geekbench Score For Samsung S10+

The most highly anticipated phones from Samsung’s stable have always been their Galaxy S series. This year, they will have three or four variants of the phone. There will be an affordable Lite version as well. Just a few days back, it was revealed that the Galaxy S10 will have 6GB RAM and Android 9 OS out of the box. It was also seen on the Geekbench score that the phone would be powered by an Exynos 9820 SoC.

Now new scores have surfaced. It seems like two of the Samsung’s flagship phone variants will be powered by Snapdragon 855 as well. With Samsung phones, it is often observed that the Exynos processors score considerably lesser than the phones powered by Snapdragon’s latest SoCs. The S10+ proves that point yet again.

Geekbench Scores

The two variants of the S10+ have one that features an Exynos 9820 and Snapdragon 855. The one with the Snapdragon scores 3413 on Single Core and 10256 on Multi Core. On the other hand, the S10+ with the Exynos processor scores 3248 on Single Core and a meagre 7999 on Multi Core. It is also noteworthy that this score is even lower than the non- plus version. That version scored a decent 4382 on Single Core and 9570 on Multi Core. This version also features the same Exynos processor.

Rumours

Other rumours that have made headlines regarding the phone include a punch hole camera at the front, better battery among other things. A tenyearchallenge teaser by Samsung was recently shared by a popular tipster on a social networking website. This might give us indication of what else is to come from Samsung. The teaser showcases two camera styles. One having a vertical four camera layout and another with three cameras at the back. The teaser also shows a floating phone but we are not sure if the company just wants to show that it is waterproof, or the phone will actually float!

Apple’s Foldable iPhone To Take A Completely Different Approach

The year 2019 will be remembered as a significant year in the history of Smartphones. The year will see the launch of several smartphones with a foldable display. At least some information about foldable devices from Samsung, Xiaomi, LG, Huawei is already available but Apple nowhere seems to be in the picture.

A senior Samsung executive has shared crucial information about a foldable Apple phone. The executive claims that the display on the foldable Apple phone, unlike the Galaxy F, might fold outwards. The information can be considered trustworthy as large companies usually keep track of their competitor’s strategies.

Reasons For Using A Outward Folding Display

The clear advantage of using an outward folding display on a Smartphone is its ease of production. The outward folding display allows for a much higher turn radius than an inward folding display thus being the first choice out of the two options.

The foldable glass that is currently available can only bend up to a certain angle. Beyond this safe angle, the glass would either crack or won’t return to its original wrinkle-free state. This is one reason why the first foldable phone, the Royale FlexPai has an outward folding display.

Expectations From Apple

Apple is the richest company that knows no financial boundaries and continuously pushes technology with new innovations. The notch on top smartphone display’s that is slowly becoming the industry standard was also launched by Apple with the iPhone X. Apple’s FaceID is still unmatched. Apple holds the power to surprise the world with an unusual and novel foldable phone. But, will the company actually do that may be a different question.
