 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

 IBM is a world-renowned brand, providing enterprise users with a diversified combination of cloud and hardware solutions. But the tech giant also faces unforeseen economic losses associated with the pandemic. Many actions have been taken to reduce the financial impact of the crisis on IBM, mainly involving restructuring and cost reduction. In early October, we learned that various options were being considered, including the option to sell assets. Now we have more details about IBM's strategic plan to reduce 10000 employees in continental Europe. At the same time, they are preparing to sell their IT business in the region, which will generate $2.3 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter, according to Bloomberg. These actions are expected to support and expand IBM's influence in the field of hybrid computer systems and cloud platforms with artificial intelligence. New job cuts in Europe have not been formally confirmed. However, the company's workers in the UK and Germany

 Sometimes you come across a name but are not sure how to pronounce it. LinkedIn decided to solve this problem by adding the ability to upload audio from your name to your profile. Have you ever seen someone's name in writing and found yourself unsure of the correct pronunciation? Correct pronunciation is not only a courtesy, but also an important part of getting a good first impression and creating an inclusive workplace. That's why we decided to offer "this feature allows you to choose how to pronounce shared names," wrote Joseph akoni, a LinkedIn product manager, on his blog. Currently, voice recording is limited to LinkedIn IOS and Android apps; at least for now, it's not for desktop users. The LinkedIn help center provides complete details on how to save audio on Android or IOS. On the same help page, it points out that the recording time should not exceed 10 seconds. It is recommended that you keep your phone about 4 inches away from your face, speak slowly,

 You may not know, but it's national card day. This is also the 30th anniversary of Microsoft Solitaire's debut on Windows 3.0. Microsoft launched classic games in 1990, and Solitaire has never left windows since. In fact, it is still popular all over the world. Card games are available in more than 200 markets and in 65 languages, attracting more than 35 million players a month.

So, no matter which platform you are on, you can play as many cards as you can in "cards" without spending a cent. Interested in global mission? Microsoft encourages all players to keep an eye on their Fac

 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. This will make it comparable to existing 120Hz refresh rate phones such as oppo find x2 and oneplus 8 pro. This is also an upgrade of the mi10 pro's FHD + resolution (90hz refresh rate). Mi 11 Pro is also expected to provide some new display functions. According to the report, some features were found in the MIUI 12 beta code. It includes MEMC, mapping from SDR to HDR and AI extension. If you want to kno w, Xiaomi has adopted MEMC technology in several of its smartphones, including Mi 10 pro and Mi 10t pro. However, the mapping of SDR to HDR and the expansion of

 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.

 Recently, geekbench, the running website, has just published the running results of 13 inch MacBook Air Using Apple M1 single chip system. At a press conference held earlier, apple said that the new macbooks were superior to the previous generation in terms of performance and battery life, which was also reflected in geekbench running points. According to geekbench's website, the new 13 inch MacBook Air has a single core score of 1687 and a multi-core score of 7433. Compared with the 2019 version, the 16 inch MacBook Pro using Intel Core i9 processor, geekbench has 1096 and 6870 points in single core and multi-core respectively. According to geekbench's results, the M1 MacBook Air, which is priced from HK $7799, is compared with the Intel Core i9 MacBook Pro, which costs from 21999. The former's performance is really superior as apple said. However, the actual use experience will not be answered until the new machine is available on November 17, and users have actually use

 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. Foreign media tests have found that its version also consumes less power and memory than in the past. The speed of starting Chrome browser will be increased by 25%, and the loading speed of web page will also be increased by 7%. Chrome 87 updates a number of features, including that users can enter keywords to quickly search for information after clicking on the triangle sign on the right side of the page. This function is currently applicable to chrome book and chrome operating systems, but Google said it would soon launch a feature for desktop version. In addition, chrome 87 also adds a new function of chrome action. Users only need to input the key words of instructions, such as delete history, in the address bar of Chrome's webpage, so that chrome can perform operations faster.

 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

 The company tweeted. The phone, along with micromax in note 1, was launched in India on November 3 and will be available from RS later this month. 7999。 The company is opening reservations for micromax in 1B on flipkart this week during the great lights Festival sale. The phone has two ram and memory configurations and three color options. The Fubon sells for rupees at 1b. 2GB ram + 32GB storage version and RS is 6999. 4GB ram + 64GB storage version is 7999. Tweeted by micromax India, the phone will be reserved via flipkart on November 10 at 12 noon (noon). Micromax in 1b will offer three color options - blue, green and purple. It will be on sale at 12 noon on November 26. So far, micromax has not shared details about micromax in note 1, which will be available on November 24.

 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. The price of the Nokia 8 V 5g UW is set at $699.99 (about 52000 Rupees). The phone is meteor grey and will be available on November 12. It will be purchased in the United States through Verizon's website, apps, local retailers and best buy. Due to Verizon's exclusivity, the Nokia 8 V 5g UW will not be sold in the global market. Having said that, Nokia 8.35g has been launched around the world, with a 6GB ram + 64GB storage version starting at 599 euros (52500 Rupees). Nokia 8 V 5g UW specification Available in single and

 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. The latest product is echo show 5, which is a cheaper option for Alexa fans who like voice assistant's smart display. Amazon seems to have skipped the third and fourth editions. The second generation echo display ($149.99 Amazon) was released in 2018, but here are five possible echo display size references. The $89.99 Alexa enabled smart speakers feature a 960 x 480 resolution 5.5-inch display, smaller than the 7-inch touch screen of the original screen and the second-generation 10 inch display. There is also a 1mp HD camera, which includes a shutter and an on / off button for the microphone and camera. Echo show 5 also shows some new software, skills and integration. It has the functions of automatically adjusting the ambient lighting and the new dashboard (attached to all echo show devices) to control all smart home devices, such

 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

 Last month, infinix launched the hot 10 smartphone in India. Now, the brand has introduced a new device in its smart line. The latest product is called infinix smart4. It is a slight variant of the infinix smart 4 plus, which debuted in July this year. Infinix smart 4 offers good specifications at a reasonable price. The smartphone retains the same design as the smart 4 plus. Let's find out what the device stores for us. The infinix smart 4 has a 6.82 inch display with HD + resolution and a drip tank. It has a post fingerprint scanner. The device has a gradient back panel and a rectangular camera module. Smart phones have DTS: high definition surround sound.

 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

 In June, Xiaomi was announced as Xiaomi laptop 14 and M notebook 14 horizon (launched its first laptop audit in India). They are powered by 10 generations of Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, respectively. These models start at RS 41999.

Xiaomi was unable to provide an integrated webcam on MI notebook 14 and notebook 14 horizo n, mainly because of its thin frame. The MI notebook 14 eLearning is equipped with a built-in webcam instead of the clip on external HD webcam available on earlier models. Xiaomi Mi notebook 14 e-learning version has a 14 inch IPS LCD Full HD resolution anti glare screen. It provides a 16:9 aspect ratio, 178 degree widescreen viewing experience and 81.2% screen share. The top border of the laptop is a little thick, with a high-definition webcam. The device is running Windows 10 ho

 Samsung follows the tradition of launching its flagship S-Series smartphones in February. Now, according to a new report, Korean brands are expected to launch their next-generation Galaxy S21 series on January 14, which seems to be earlier than usual.
