  • 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. Additionally, he also claimed that Samsung plans to sell at least 1 million foldable phones in 2019.

    Yonhapnews, a South Korean news agency suggests that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S10 flagship smartphone in February next year. This will be followed by the foldable phone. The foldable phone, allegedly called the Galaxy F will launch in March along with a 5G variant of the Galaxy S10. Presumably, the foldable Galaxy F will not support 5G connectivity.

    Reports also profess that the company will showcase a working prototype of the Galaxy F smartphone at MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2019. The South Korean news agency also claims that the smartphone will cost $ 1,770 (around Rs 1,29,024 ). The steep price of the smartphone indicates that it might not be a mass market handset.

    Galaxy F Features

    The biggest highlight of the Galaxy F will definitely be its foldable display. Samsung says that the new smartphone will have a 4.6-inch display in regular mode and a 7.4-inch screen when unfolded. The foldable smartphone will also support Android Q’s continuity feature. It means when a user is running an app on a foldable device, it will seamlessly transfer between the two screen layouts. Which are the smaller, smartphone-like folded screen, and the larger, tablet-style experience when it is unfolded.

  • 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.

    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.

    5G, the big leap for smartphones is approaching fast and the companies are working hard to reap the early bird advantage. Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has already launched their 5G compatible Mi Mix 3. Moreover, OnePlus has already announced they will launch a 5G smartphone in the year 2019. Recently, the company revealed to Cnet Spain that the 5G OnePlus will not be the OnePlus 7. In fact, the upcoming smartphone will be part of a completely different series.

    The Successor To The OnePlus 6T?

    OnePlus refreshes their flagship smartphones twice a year hence, the OnePlus 7 will launch before Q2 of 2019 ends. Most notably, OnePlus 7, the next flagship will not have 5G support. The company revealed that the OnePlus 7 will remain their flagship phone. As the new 5G technology will not only bump the price of the phone, but it will also have limited carriers initially. So, the company predicts to not sell as many units of the same as the former.

    The company officials explained that the 5G smartphone which is due to launch in early 2019 will be a part of a different lineup that will complement the flagship series. The smartphone is set to launch in early 2019, we feel that the company might announce it during the MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2019 which will be held in Barcelona starting 25th February.

  • Samsung’s New Mid-Range ‘Galaxy M’ Series Leaked

    Samsung’s New Mid-Range ‘Galaxy M’ Series Leaked

    Earlier reports had suggested that the Samsung will combine its Galaxy J, Galaxy C and Galaxy On series into a single ‘Galaxy M’ series. The M series is set to be the new mid-range series from Samsung. It might focus on producing more value-for-money phones. This move from Samsung comes in the wake of cut-throat competition from Chinese manufacturers who are hurting the Korean giant’s smartphone sales big time, especially in South Asia.

    The New Galaxy M

    Now, a leak ‘confirms’ that two devices from this series are on the way. Bearing the model numbers SM-M205F and SM-M305F, they have been dubbed the Galaxy M20 and Galaxy M30. The leak also suggest that there are many more Galaxy M devices on the way. The source also claims to know the storage variants of the devices. The SM-M205F has 32 GB and 64 GB storage variants while the SM-M305F has 64 GB and 128 GB variants. Both the devices have dual SIM variants, while some countries might see the launch of single SIM variants as well.

    Another recent report also suggests that the devices will not have AMOLED panels and will instead carry LCD panels. The inclusion of LCD panels will ensure that Samsung can keep the prices of these models down and focus on providing more features. The fact that Samsung mid-range phones lacked attractive specs was a huge complaint from consumers in the past. The tech giant maybe looking to change that by cutting corners in areas such as the display.

    Users Report Overheating Issue On The Pixel 3

    High-end smartphones this year are facing a lot of issues. Something, a high end smartphone is least expected to have. The iPhones faced the Beauty Gate and Charge Gate  and now the Pixel 3 is apparently also facing major charging issues. Some users in a discussion forum as well as the Google product forum have complained that their new Pixel 3 is overheating while charging. Some have also reported the Pixel devices to auto shut down due to the over heating issue.

    A user reportedly was on a video call on WhatsApp once and on Zoom, both times facing an auto shut down. This was when the phone was plugged in to charge. The device is also reportedly shutting down automatically when the camera is on for a long time (15-20 minutes) due to overheating. Before it shuts down the phone is showing a message “Your phone is shutting off due to heat”. Some users also reported that Google is giving them a replacement phone.

    Some have tried to hard reset the phone but the issue still persists. If Google is replacing the phones they might be acknowledging the issue. Some are speculating that it can be fixed with software updates but the act of replacement seems to suggest otherwise. One user has reported that the replacement Pixel 3 is also overheating. The Pixel 3 saw its launch early in October this year along with the Pixel 3 XL.
