  • Samsung Galaxy Note 10’s Display Will Double Up As A Speaker

    Samsung Galaxy Note 10’s Display Will Double Up As A Speaker

    Samsung’s latest Note series flagship is right around the corner with other big releases like the upcoming Apple iPhone 2019 and Google’s Pixel 4 line up. The Korean company will have to pull out an amazing feature or function with the new device to make it stand a cut above the rest. Amidst the various rumours, new reports by a renowned leakster reveal a new ‘Sound on Display’ technology for the Galaxy Note 10.

    Ice Universe, the source, leaked Samsung’s new proprietary feature on Twitter. This implied that the tech giant is letting go of the earpiece systems that have been used so far for a new feature to facilitate calls. Within the tweet, a couple of images were shared as well. These images showcased screen protectors that showcased negligible bezels on the Galaxy Note 10 save a punch hole camera cut out.

    Sound on Display is a feature that will have vibrations travel through the screen and to the user’s ears when they receive a call. In practice, the feature on the Galaxy Note 10 will function similar to any other handset. According to the aforementioned images, both the Pro and non-Pro will incorporate the new technology. Notably, Samsung is not the first manufacturer to bring this function to mainstream markets, Huawei and LG have previously equipped their flagships with the same. In fact, the company has already tried it once on its own M series lineup. The Samsung Galaxy M40 received mixed reception for the substitute tech over an earpiece with concerns regarding quality.

    Reports have even claimed that the Galaxy Note 10 may also feature traditional speakers alongside the Sound on Display feature. However, no concrete evidence has been uncovered and a simple screen protector does not always paint a true picture. Furthermore, it is still highly likely as Samsung has already included the feature in mid-range smartphones and the upcoming Note 10 will probably seek to innovate where possible.

    Vivo Showcases World’s Fastest 120W Charging Technology For Smartphones

    With the constantly increasing battery sizes in smartphones, the subsequent demand for a quick charging technology has increased. As a result, many major OEMs have incorporated some sort of fast charging in their devices. One such company is Chinese handset maker Vivo, which has announced with a post on Chinese social networking website Weibo; that it has successfully developed the world’s fastest 120W charging technology for smartphones.

    Vivo

    Vivo announced its 120W fast charging technology via a poster shared on Weibo. The company claims that it will allow charging a 4000mAh battery from 0 to 100 in around 13 minutes. For the battery to hit fifty percent capacity, the company claims it takes a 5-minute charge. This is faster than the 100W charging technology Xiaomi showcased a while ago; which allowed for a battery of same capacity to be fully charged in 17 minutes. Vivo has given its proprietary technology a name of FlashCharge 120W. The technology is expected to be showcased at the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai; which is scheduled to take place from June 26 to June 28 at the Shangai New International Expo Center. The post by Vivo also insinuates that the company may also be planning to showcase its first 5G smartphone at the event.

    While the prospect of a super quick charging technology in smartphones seems exciting; it has been revealed that the Vivo FlashCharge 120W is still in development. The company may have to wait until later this year or early next year to launch a commercial device with the charging technology. It is also not known what Vivo has done to keep the heating that is akin to fast charging tech, at bay in its FlashCharge 120W technology. Unfortunately, details about it are not known at the moment but are expected to be revealed as we move closer to the event scheduled for next week.

    OnePlus Reveals Upcoming Oxygen OS Features

    OnePlus has been busy with various software updates for its lineup of smartphones, especially the OnePlus 7 Pro. The Chinese company is well renowned and critically acclaimed for its user-centric business model. On multiple occasions, the company has added features or brought bug fixes relatively quick just after scouring its own community app. In a similar manner, the company has unveiled its planned catalogue of features and additions to its Oxygen OS.

    OnePlus

    What To Expect

    In a new post on the OnePlus Forums, the company has highlighted developing as well as planned features with the future update. The Open Beta build already includes a couple of these new features that aim to enhance the OxygenOS user experience. Notably, a small part has been confirmed to be product exclusive while the rest are generally available OS-wide. The said exclusive features include OnePlus 7 Pro’s horizon light customizability, whereas most OnePlus devices will receive a new step counter in the Shelf.

    OnePlus

    OnePlus has already given its approval for most of the feature requests which are currently being tested in various open and closed beta programs. For example, the horizon light feature lights up the edges of the OnePlus 7 Pro when a notification is received. This was done by the company to address customer grievances regarding the lack of LED notification lights. Unfortunately, the feature will not appear on the standard OnePlus 7 model or its predecessors.

    OnePlus 6T

    The developers in OnePlus have also seemingly confirmed working on video recording via the ultra-wide camera found on the latest flagship. The community had been requesting for this feature for a while, as only the primary shooter currently captures videos. OxygenOS is also slated to provide support for adaptive icons for its OnePlus launcher. Furthermore, functions such as a custom duration for Zen Mode, more apps in the recent menu and sound effect when the device is charging will be released by the developers.

    Other Notable Features 
    • Digital Wellbeing will be supported on OnePlus 5/5T/6/6T, and are currently available in the open beta.
    • Ability to block messages by specific keywords is also being tested under the closed beta and will be released soon.
    • Folders being considered for the app drawer for a simplifies and quicker way of finding applications.

  • Samsung Patents A Gaming Laptop With Expandable Display

    Samsung Patents A Gaming Laptop With Expandable Display

    Earlier this year, the Korean electronics manufacturer, Samsung launched its first smartphone with a foldable display in the form of Galaxy Fold. Freshly granted patent to Samsung states that the company is working on yet another distinctive device which is a gaming laptop with an extendable display. 

    Patent Disclosures

    Samsung Laptop Extendable DisplaySamsung filed the patent for the aforementioned gaming laptop with KIPO (Korean Intellectual Property Office) on December 2018 which was published on the 3rd of June 2019. The patent includes 14 sketches which showcase the different elements of the unique notebook computer. The standout feature of the laptop is apparently the display which expands to transform into an ultra wide screen.

    Although the patent does not mention, the Samsung laptop’s display seems to have a conventional 16:9 aspect ratio which when expanded or rolled out converts into a display with 21:9 aspect ratio. This expansion of display provides an additional 50 percent screen real estate which can be crucial for gamers. Noteworthy, most FPS (first person shooter) games can benefit from this wide of a display as it provides a wider FOV (field of view) which in turn gives the user a competitive advantage. Samsung Gaming Laptop

    The patent, however, does not reveal how Samsung intends the laptop to achieve this functionality due to lack of illustrations of the inner mechanism. Though, it seems that would incorporate technology similar to what a previously patented Samsung smartphone uses. Or rather it could also use technology similar to LG’s previously showcased rollable TVs with a flexible display.

    All in all, the previously achieved technological feats by Samsung suggest that a gaming laptop with this feature is not farfetched. And Samsung may surprise the world soon by launching a commercially available gaming laptop with an extendable display.

Unfortunately, the rest of the specifications of the ROG Phone 2 are not known yet. But if it manages to pack in top tier specifications at the aforementioned price tag, it may be a compelling buy over its rivals like the Nubia Red Magic 3 and Xiaomi Black Shark 2.

OPPO one of the well-known smartphone manufacturers has confirmed its attendance at the Mobile World Congress 2019 on Weibo. A poster shared by the company clearly indicates that it is planning to launch the first under-display camera in the world.

    OPPO

    Under-display camera smartphones essentially have its front camera within the front display but unlike a punch-hole module cannot be seen. The screen entirely encompasses the front panel with the camera under it. Earlier this month, Oppo had showcased its first functional prototype to the world, as did Xiaomi. Most OEMs have adopted a pop-up camera (like OnePlus 7 Pro) or rotating camera modules (such as Samsung Galaxy A80) for the full display solution. These are currently almost exclusively found in top-end or high mid-end range smartphones. 

    OPPO

    A short clip was previously shared by an OPPO executive which showcased a smartphone with the praiseworthy feature. It is uncertain if the aforementioned device is a prototype that is under development or an initial version of a smartphone that would be available commercially. The device had no visible seam for a front camera and had a full display panel at the front. This has probably given the world its first look into completely bezel-less smartphones.

    Google Calendar Suffering From Global Outage

    2019 has been a year of numerous outages across various services and applications worldwide. For instance, social media platforms Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram suffered from a worldwide outage in the consecutive months of March and April. Furthermore, American technology company Google also suffered from Google Cloud downtime earlier this month. As per recent reports, Google Calendar is also not functioning currently for multiple users across the globe.

    Many users who have been trying to access their Google Calendar schedules at calendar.google.com are facing issues, since they are greeted with an error. First reports started pouring in at about 7:30pm IST (10am EST). The majority of Canadian and US population (in addition to other countries) are unable to navigate to the website since then. The company has confirmed details regarding the service outage via its G Suite Status Dashboard, which can be viewed by clicking here.

    The company’s statement implied that the problem is being investigated. Additional details are expected to be available shortly. The most interesting aspect of this outage is the fact that the company posted a tweet from the G Suite Twitter handle stating how the Google Calendar application makes scheduling much simpler for day-to-day usage. The tweet was published merely an hour before the service outage. This may be a coincidence or a timed external attack on the company’s servers. Shortly thereafter, the company posted about the service disruption as well.
