 Samsung is preparing to launch the galaxy S21 early next year. To be sure, the flagship phone will be upgraded in large sizes, but Samsung has also made ambitious plans for its Bixby voice assistant. It is reported that Samsung will add voice recognition support to unlock your phone. Samsung's one UI 3.1 will allow users to choose Bixby voice as a biometric method to unlock devices, sammobile reported. One UI 3.1 is expected to debut in the galaxy S21 series. The software update is likely to be available on other galaxy phones as well. So far, it is not clear how this feature will work. It's worth noting that Google provides a similar voice based feature in the helper. However, for security reasons, the company removed the voice matching feature in 2018. Samsung launched a new update for its Bixby voice assistant, and the new report appeared a few weeks later. The new version has a new look and feel, including updated icons and visual refreshes. In other words, this is the fir...

 Virtual reality is a promising technology, and it has not yet had a strong position in the field of game and entertainment applications. At present, some functions have hindered the widespread popularization of this innovation in the industry. The biggest problem is that when using VR glasses, the eyes will soon be fixed on the eyes, and many attractive methods have been taken to eliminate this shortcoming. The fact is, VR technology is not yet ubiquitous, and this innovative application goes beyond games and basic mobile applications. Since the beginning of egotism, more and more people rely on popular video conference platform to communicate with relatives, colleagues and friends. It's no accident that games like Google meet, zoom and Microsoft teams have set impressive records in terms of traffic and popularity. With the advent of virtual reality technology, this is also an area where significant improvements can be made. Imagine that your interlocutor appears in front of you i...

 There is a lot of talk about Mi 11 and Mi 11 pro, the flagship smartphones to be launched by Xiaomi. The devices are not official, but they have been affected by a number of rumors and leaks. This time, the eye-catching digital chat station (via XDA developers) has some new information about mobile phone displays. According to the prompts, the MI 11 Pro will be equipped with QHD + resolution panel and a 120Hz refresh rate.

 2020 is coming to an end, and the news about the new flagship of Samsung Galaxy S series next year is about to be exposed on the Internet. Earlier, Android police learned a lot about the specifications of the new model from its informants. It is said that Samsung will still launch the S21, S21 + and S21 ultra models this time. The size of the ultra is 6.8 inches, and it will use a more power-saving ltpo panel like the note 20 Ultra. The screen has a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits and also supports s pen touch. Of course, this stylus needs to be purchased separately, and it can't be stuffed into S21 Ultra. You need to find another way to store and carry it. In addition to ultra, the S21 and S21 + sizes are 6.2 "and 6.7", respectively. In terms of processors, in addition to using snapdragon's new flagship processor, the new machines will also launch models based on the unpublished "exynos 2100" in some regions. It is worth mentioning that the new product ...

 For those who hold iPhone 12, iPhone 12 pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini, it's better to install the system update as soon as possible. Apple has released the latest IOS 14.2.1, which is aimed at various problems of the iPhone 12 series, including fixing the problem of unable to receive MMS messages, the sound quality of hearing aid devices, and the iPhone 12 Mini lock screen not responding. If your new phone has the above problems, find a time to install the update.

 If the early rendering of oneplus 9 Pro posted by onleaks on voice is true, the front design of 9 Pro will continue the appearance of 8 Pro instead of the updated 8t. At the same time, on the camera module on the back, it has the visual effect of note 20. Although it is mahjong arrangement, the lens is arranged in a straight line. The rendering doesn't mention any specifications, but it is believed that it will adopt the new generation of high-end snapdragon 800 series processor and 6.55 inch panel of qcomm, which is slightly smaller than the 6.7 inch of the previous generation, which should make it more comfortable to hold. In addition, camera sensor elements may also be updated. It is rumored that oneplus will launch 9 pro in March next year, which is roughly in line with the usual launch schedule of oneplus, but a little earlier than April of 8 pro. There is still about four months to go from now to then. There is still room for change in both the design and the launch schedule...

 Oneplus has released new patch software updates for oneplus 8t users. This is an update to oxygenos 11.0.4.5, but since it is a hot fix, there are no new features. The main purpose of this update is to address all issues caused by previous software updates launched by the team. Especially from a user experience perspective, this involves fixing damaged content and optimizing existing functionality to make it better. This is an air update that has begun to be available in India. Oneplus said it would soon be available to users in North America and Europe. However, no specific timetable was mentioned in the announcement. You can see the detailed change log below, but remember that these updates are usually released in phases. This means that some users will receive this patch update earlier than others. If the update eventually leads to a major problem, it can help the team quickly control the situation.

 Xiaomi launched the MI 10 series of flagship smartphones earlier this year. As 2020 draws to a close, so is the time for the next flagship store from China's tech giant. These two new phones may be called Mi 11 and Mi 11 pro. Experts from China recommend some interesting details about Pro variants. The MI 11 Pro is played down with a 120Hz refresh rate of four HD + displays. If true, this will be a huge increase in the full HD + resolution and 90hz refresh rate available with the MI 10 pro. This will bring it to the same level as the high-end flagship models of other brands such as Samsung and oneplus. Xiaomi is expected to continue to use perforated designs on mobile phones. As we can see with modern equipment, it will have a hole in the upper left corner. It's going to be a curved display panel, the expensive flagship models we've seen from various Android OEMs. Pushers don't expect major changes in the camera department. It seems that the overall camera performance ...

 Just like the iPhone 11 series launched last year, when the iPhone 12 series went on sale earlier, users began to post in the discussion area, saying that their mobile phone screen would turn green, gray or flicker when it was dimmed. The problems include all four iPhone 12 models, and some users say that even if the true tone function is turned off, there is no improvement. Macrumors claimed to have obtained internal documents sent by apple to the service provider. Apple said it had learned about the problem with the iPhone 12 screen and had launched an investigation. Apple advised maintenance personnel not to repair the affected iPhone at this stage, but also reminded them to ask users to keep the phone and upgrade to the latest system version. The problem with the iPhone 11 screen was later resolved in IOS 13.6.1. I believe Apple intends to follow suit and fix it through system upgrade.

 Although Playstation 5 is only available in most of the world's markets, including Hong Kong, Sony has indicated earlier that consumers are too enthusiastic to provide stock on the first day of sale. The ps5 is not the only game console out of stock. Even the Xbox series X and series s, which were launched globally last week, are also in short supply. Tim Stuart, Xbox's chief financial officer, revealed at an interactive entertainment conference that the two new Xbox consoles will continue to be in short supply during the Christmas shopping season, and the shortage will continue into the third quarter of the group, the end of the first quarter of next year. In fact, as early as the end of October, Phil Spencer, vice president of Microsoft's game department, had predicted that the shortage problem would last for several months, and apologized to the outside world. He also said that he had made full production in the past two months and hoped to supply the stores as much as ...

 Google launched chrome 87, which Google said will reduce CPU utilization by as much as five times.

 A Danish retailer has revealed how many NVIDIA RTX 3070 graphics cards it received before it launches next week - a slim choice. Proshop ordered 4280 RTX 3070 units from a number of suppliers including ASUS, MICROSTAR and Gigabyte. But as of Monday, it had only received 106 units, about 2.5% of the requested inventory. There are also 185 units. However, unless manufacturing goes into the super drive, retailers' RTX 3070s inventory will be negligible when these graphics cards go on sale on October 29. For customers eager to buy graphics cards, Proshop's numbers are not good. Initially, the $499 RTX 3070 was due to go on sale on Thursday, but NVIDIA decided to postpone the launch to offer more products on the day of the launch. According to Proshop, delays may not have much effect on improving inventory. There may be other retailers, such as Amazon, best buy and Newegg, who have better luck on RTX 3070. However, other RTX cards (3080 and 3090) are out of stock in all major retai...

 NASA plans to land the first woman and second man on the moon by 2024, and once they get there, they need a decent wireless connection back to earth. Nokia has received funding to provide NASA with the first 4G LTE communication system on the moon and in space. Last week, NASA selected 14 U.S. companies as part of a "tipping point" tender to develop a variety of technologies that "will help pave the way for Artemis' sustainable operation on the moon." One of these companies is Nokia of America Corporation, which NASA awarded $14.1 million in exchange for its plan to provide reliable high data rate 4G LTE communication system on the moon. The program is "the first ultra compact, low-power, space hardened, end-to-end LTE solution on the lunar surface by the end of 2022." "Taking advantage of our rich and successful history of space technology, from groundbreaking satellite communications to the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation fro...

 Players may skip NVIDIA's RTX 3090. Surprisingly, in 4K games, the $1499 graphics card is only 10% to 15% faster than the RTX 3080. The company revealed some benchmarks for 3D rendering in statistics released on Wednesday. The RTX 3090 does offer a significant "up to 50" performance improvement over the previous generation of Titan RTX cards, which initially retail for $2499 when it went on sale two years ago. But for most PC gamers, it's better to save money and spend it on $699 RTX 3080 (assuming you can find one). Consider RTX 3090 only if you have an expensive 8K monitor. According to NVIDIA, the RTX 3090 is the first GPU to fully support 8K HDR games with an amazing 7680 × 4320 pixel resolution.

 Samsung today got a general idea of what the galaxy S10 will offer by launching its new exynos 9820 chip. The new silicon chip is designed to run AI driven applications through dedicated "neural processing units" or npus on the board. Samsung said in a press release that this makes the chip perform AI tasks about seven times faster than the previous exynos 9810 chip. As a result, faster processing times can be expected when using Bixby, the company's voice assistant. Samsung has been trying to make the technology compete with Amazon's Alexa and Google assistant. The goal is to create an entire ecosystem of devices, such as home appliances, that can run on Bixby. "With NPU, AI related processing can be performed directly on the device without sending tasks to the server, providing faster performance and better personal information security," Samsung added The NPU will also power AI tasks through the camera so that it can recognize objects and automatically a...

 HMD global of Finland launched Nokia 8 V 5g UW. The new smartphone is the company's second 5g phone after Nokia's 8.35g, and the first in Nokia's product portfolio to support mmwave 5g networks and frequencies below 6GHz. HMD brings Nokia 8 V 5g UW to Verizon, an American carrier. In addition to supporting Verizon's ultra wideband network, the new Nokia phone is basically a modified version of the Nokia 8.35g, which was first released in March.

 Much cheaper 5g phones will enter the U.S. market by 2020, but only T-Mobile and sprint. Opinion a highly technical new T-Mobile / MediaTek press release declares "independent calls in a multi vendor environment reflecting the actual 5g deployment.". Importantly, MediaTek, which produces low-cost cell phone modems, has now proven its M70 chipset to work on sprint and T-Mobile networks. If I can read correctly between the two lines, that means sprint and T-Mobile's 5g phones could be much cheaper. "Next year, we will continue to work with T-Mobile to help drive 5g network deployment," TL Lee of MediaTek said in a press release. When I interviewed Joe Chen, the chief executive of the Department in February, it made more sense. Chen said at the time that his company would have a smartphone chipset ready by the end of 2020, which could reduce the price of 5g phones to around $450. The first round of 5g mobile phones in the United States cost more than $1000, or - f...

 If you're buying smart speakers, there are already many echo devices to choose from, but that doesn't stop Amazon from producing new speakers.

 Motorola seems to work with flagship stores. But it's not done with cutting-edge features. While its new Z4 is definitely a midrange phone, it can be used with Motorola's backpack add-on for Verizon's new 5g system, and if a new line is activated, Motorola and Verizon plan to sell both for $439.99. The phone will cost $499.99 with a 360 camera accessory. "In the U.S., it's a duopoly in the flagship market between apple and Samsung," said Doug michau, Motorola's North American product operations director As a result, Motorola is doing some effective work for the company and phone buyers, but the budget is not high. According to the company, its moto g line of phones has always been the number one brand for unlocking devices in the United States, which has helped the company grow here, even though overall smartphone sales are falling. Z4 looks and feels like a flagship product, but the price is only half of the latter. Motorola's z-series phones have al...

 Google cloud hard disk provides a convenient way to store files in the cloud so that they can be accessed anywhere, but only Google's own file types can be edited offline using web applications. However, offline access is expanding to include all files. From April this year, G suite users can save and edit Google documents, forms and slides offline, according to Android police. This means that if you don't have an Internet connection, you can continue to work on these files. However, you cannot mark other file types for offline access unless you choose to use the backup & sync desktop client. The latest g suite beta uses web applications to extend offline saving and editing capabilities for all other file types, including PDF, Microsoft office documents, images, and any other files you want to mark as accessible offline. Currently, this new feature is limited to organizations registered with the G suite beta program, but Gmail users can use it as long as offline access is ...
