What’s new with Samsung Note 9?

Galaxy Note 9 has been one of the hit for Samsung in the technological world in 2018. Note 9 has a reputation as bleeding edge phone in the note series. It is the first with multi window software for running two different applications at the same time and consists of curved edge screen. The new Galaxy Note 9 starts from 999$ and it includes an S pen that improves the remote control in this device.

What’s new with Samsung Note 9?

S Pen: Now the stylus pen comes with a Bluetooth control, so it can be used for presentations, music control and taking pictures.

Huge Battery: Samsung Note 9 has a huge battery of 4000mAh which is the biggest in Samsung handset history. This is a huge step up if compared with Note 8 (3300mAh) but upon performance check Note 9’s battery wasn’t able to come up to expectations and it showed only marginal improvements

AI Camera: The camera on the Note 9 can recognize 20 different scenes and can adjust in complex light situations to obtain the best results

Water Cooled: This monster uses a water carbon fiber cooling system to prevent heat to increase efficiency and to deliver sustained high performance.

Design: The most appealing feature of any phone is design and Note 9 has now been introduced in two elegant colors. It comes in Lavender Purple and Ocean Blue version, but Lavender Purple appears to capture most of the market due to its eye-catching elegance. However, ocean blue version is equipped with a yellow S pen, which writes in yellow on-screen memo mode. Shortly after release of Note 9, Cloud Silver and Midnight black colors were also introduced in the market and Samsung plans to sell them as their exclusive product with a premium price.

Though Note 9 is a beautiful phone but it takes a keen eye to differentiate between Note 8 and Note 9 as both are 6.4 inches long and 0.34 inches deep. Difference occurs in weight of both phones; the new Note 9 is slightly lighter the Note 8 but holding both the devices wouldn’t make such a difference as the weight is slightly low. The biggest change is the fingerprint sensor, which Samsung wisely moved from beside the dual-lens camera to beneath it. This makes it easier for those of us with small hands to easily unlock the phone without straining our stubby fingers.

Domestic Robots

House chores are a part of life whether one likes it or not. In this fast moving world, it becomes even harder as one’s presence in various other errands is needed just as much. Technology continues to make life easy with innovations that were not believed possible in the past. One of these innovations is of domestic robots that are designed to make life easier by performing these tasks for the owner.

From dishes to dry-cleaning, mopping to lawn mowing, these robots tend to replace human labor and thus increase the efficiency in results. This is not a new concept of computerized houses; there are technologies like driers, remote controls, dishwashers, that have taken place of manual house handling.

The automated carpet cleaners called Roomba may not be a fully functioning vacuum cleaners, but they sure are much advanced than the former machine. With the facilitation of internet connectivity, these robots can have scheduled cleaning routines, which can be assigned from smartphone apps. You don’t have to carry them around to their place either, these machines return to their stations when the battery runs out. Similar is the case with rob mowers. Even though they are not as powerful as the manual lawn mowers, they too can have scheduled tasks and can perform without supervision.

The task of dry cleaning also tends to be reduced to a zero with the Swash that has the “precision for misting” and “rapid thermal drying” and can takes as less as 10 minutes. The machine works on different kind of fabrics and is capable of delicately handling material like cashmere. With this technology, you don’t have to worry about odor or wrinkles on your clothes. This slim designed robot can fit beside your closet or even inside it. This, however, does not mean you can completely avoid a trip to the pros since this machine is not meant to entirely replace professional dry cleaner. It merely extends the life of your outfits.

It looks like household chores get easier day by day and the humans have all the time to carry out other activities without worrying about running late for work or any other event.

Fold On- Samsung will be right back

We all know how smartphones have been competing to mark their worth in the market arena. There have been so many innovations to attract customer attention and loyalty. With its creative edge screen technology, Samsung has won the hearts of many and succeeded in marking its position among the most well reputed brands for smartphones. However, the company continues to expand their creativity in their attempts to execute ideas that were merely a concept. Samsung will now show us how a foldable smartphone looks like.

There have been speculations for the phone to be called Galaxy X or F, but there still has been no confirmation on behalf of Samsung for the name of the device. Although, they are expected to launch the details in the annual Samsung Developer Conference. There are still some rumors as to what the specifications of the phone might be and we can expect it to have a 7nm processor in the new foldable phone along with specially designed gaming specification.

The new display is known to be the ‘Infinity Flex Display” which as the name suggests can be folded and unfolded for infinite times without compromising on the display quality or causing any wear and tear. The screen is reported to be 7.3 inches in folded position. Not much has been revealed about the design so far, but we do know that Samsung plans to launch it in market in the coming months.

Vodafone made the first ever Hologram call

Ever since in the sci-fi movies holographic motion pictures were shown, companies are working on performing and providing this facility to their customers and Vodafone has finally succeed to be the first ever company to make a holographic call in United Kingdom. Call was made by female football captain Steph Houghton from Manchester and appeared live in 3D hologram in front of guest audience Newbury, she had a chat and gave few tips to her fan Iris.

Vodafone is planning to launch their service in near future as 5G has the speed to meet the need of such product. According to company in first phase they will launch 5G in urban area and then leading it to the rural areas of UK. The infrastructure for 5G service has already been in place by the end of 2020 UK will facilitate from the technology of 5G and hologram technology properly.

Vodafone UK is part of Vodafone Group, one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies, and provides a range of services including voice, messaging, data and fixed communications. Vodafone Group has mobile operations in 25 countries, partners with mobile networks in 46 more, and has fixed broadband operations in 18 markets

This concept literary revolutionized the concept of video call as people are more and more data oriented now this perspective will bring positive change in the market, it will help different companies in accordance to their demand. Vodafone being the first mover will put a huge impact on its market value and size, this advancement possibly will create a new and strong image of Vodafone in UK and all over the globe.

Magic Leap One another step to Augmented Reality

Ever since is videography introduced people are trying to find ways to feel those images and experience it like it’s in front of them. Magic Leap is an organization in America and they introduced a technology through which you can experience augmented reality. It is not smart glass but a next step from virtual reality.

Magic Leap One is designed and build on the technology called “Digital Lightfield” and company is secretive about their secret ingredient but still sharing information about their product and its services. For example, if you make a walk or roll of any animal or object on table (table is actual but the object moving will be augmented) it will fall at the edge of the table to keep the feeling real as much possible.

The design of the glasses is not like the smart glass you cannot use them outside like normal pair of glasses also they are not fashion statement as well. There is other limitation of using it outside as it projects light on glass of screen, on sunny day it has to fight the light of sun which makes nearly impossible for the image to be visible enough to be seen.

It introduced on August 8 in Chicago in starting price of $ 2,295, it will be available in different areas in soon. In its current price countries like Pakistan, India, China and other Asian countries market size will be very low and target audience will be niche.

What is Blockchain and is it really beneficial ?

Blockchain is one the most popular technological system now a day, people are attracted to it and organizations and people are willing to understand and use it for their own benefits. But before looking in to the matter either Blockchain is beneficial for our society or not we have to understand the concepts of blockchain.

In 2009 the first ever application of blockchain was “Bitcoin”, it is a digital currency supported by blockchain through its cryptographic system. Blockchain is a peer to peer system of transaction you don’t need any centralized server to store data everything is decentralized, and every account holder maintain his/her own ledger of transaction, well which makes it impossible for the hackers to hack, steal data/information or even steal information.

It is on a small scale but for bigger organization it plays a vital role in keeping their accounts protected and secure from any outside interference. The reasons it is safe and beneficial are:

Before the introduction of “Blockchain” security and validation of your ownership of digital accounts can’t be trusted and stealing of information and data is common even you use different software for safety from others to get access but still that company who is providing you security has the access to your information. Blockchain removes this and create a peer to peer system of transaction and due to cryptographic blocks in chains reduces the chances of any interference.

Also an important benefit of using blockchain system for transaction is if your transaction took place no one can edit that transaction and that transaction remains the part of the ledger and account for future concerns.

Hyperloop: Transport of the Future ?

We live in a time where technical advancements are progressing exponentially and concept of hyperloop is being the part of this remarkable technical world. Hyperloop is basically a fast-moving capsule covering distance of hours in matter of minutes, travelling through pressurized tubes using magnetic levitation. It does look like a science fictional, but this project is in cusp of becoming reality. For example, you live 400 miles away from your family and friends and to see them meet them you need hours to travel by road even that distance requires hours on plane but through hyperloop it will be covered in minutes, hyperloop concept will revolutionize the idea of global village by bring cities or states closer than ever before. This idea was first conceived by Elon Musk in 2012 the founder of most famous program Space X and CEO of Tesla motors. It is design in pattern to travel from one place to another through tube reducing air pressure and friction to reach maximum speed possible.

Organizations are working on this concept one of them is Virgin Group and they introduced “Virgin Hyperloop One” and United Arab Emirates is one the very few countries which is being a part of it and will launch hyperloop transportation service in their country. If this idea/concept succeed which most probably will it might be the transportation system of the future (on land).

Google-Type me a Blog

In all this techno-crazy world, one often wondered when the time would come when man could no longer tell the difference between a computer operated tone and a human conversation. I have heard Alexa talking and Siri responding in their casual computer operated voices which is how it is for all those techno assistants. Then, no more than few months ago, I came across a recording that I thought was just some random conversation between two people. What I did not know was that one of those people was a Google Assistant called Duplex.

It took me a great pause and focus to figure out that the woman making a salon appointment was actually Duplex in it coolest, most casual tone ever. Impressive as it sounds, it is also a whole new level of curiosity to figure out what Google just did there. So I researched on the basics of its functions.

Google Assistant initially formed an additional service by Google Now. This was designed to personalize the user information regarding their daily plans, timings and locations to extract the relevant information for their consumption. This was extended on the prevailing Google OK services. What remains currently is the Google Assistant which is user friendly and works in both text and voice command for your convenience.

From timers to calendars and reminders to meeting schedules, Duplex can do your tasks for you and even take your place to make calls and carry out perfectly natural conversations- I would say even more calmly than you can. Just a couple of years since Google launched its Assistant, it has been very popularly acknowledged and used by more partners including it into other smart devices than just phones.

The basic operational system consists of a “recurrent neutral netwrork (RNN)”and “TensorFlow Extended (TFX)” and the output comprises of Google’s “automatic speech recognition (ASR)”. This is a very simplified version of the complex structures that make Duplex a compatible mechanism for its users. The illustration bellow describes the functioning of Google Assistant:

Is it worth it to upgrade to Iphone XS Max

When the manufacturer told U.S. the iPhone X was a style of the future, it wasn't kidding. iPhone XR, iPhone XS and therefore the iPhone XS are all engineered on the inspiration started by the iPhone X.
The biggest of these, and therefore the most costly of these, is that the iPhone XS max.
The easiest way to describe the appearance and build of the iPhone XS max is to mention that it's sort of a massive iPhone X. Apple took last year's style and created it additional waterproof, larger and more color choice.

As overall the XS max is analogous in size to the previous generations of and models, except, Apple has created far better use of the area on the front. The notch is somethings that caused difference of opinion ever since it initial appeared on the iPhone X in 2017. Since then, it has been traced by several competitors to expand the screen-to-body magnitude relation.
As for resolution, it's long been the case that Apple avoids media customary defaults. instead of a QHD+ resolution, it's 1242 x 2688 pixels cover with 6.5-inch panel, giving a element density of 458 pixels per inch. That puts it among a number of the sharpest screens out there.
Apple created a giant deal of its new A12 Bionic processor, and for permanently reason. It's among the primary to form use of the 7nm process, creating it potential to own a lot of power coming back from a far smaller chip that is additionally more economical.
Gaming on the iPhone XS maxis as smooth and stable as you'd hope. Games load quickly and characters on screen answer input and touchscreen gestures with none hesitation, that is additionally part all the way down to the 120Hz bit detector response rate.
One issue iPhone is missing here compared to several others is it could be a quick charging wired charger within the box. Despite its size and large battery, the iPhone XS max ships with a similar 5W wall adapter and Lightning cable it is usually shipped with.
With iOS 12 you'll be able to conjointly produce your own emoji character known as a Memoji, that you simply will either create seem like you or no matter you would like, selecting face form, color, eye color
, eye wear, facial hair and loads a lot of other features and all that emoji reacts to your facial expressions
Apple's latest rear twin camera system is formed of 2 12-megapixel sensors, one giving a good angle read, and also the other a telephoto zoom view, with each cameras optically stabilized.

The Impact of Quantum Computing.

Generally, the computing system basically relay on the principals of the ability to storage and use information. Computers we normally use store data or information in the form of 0s and 1s we call this method a binary system. In case of quantum computing the system store information in the form of qubits (Quantum Bits).

A quantum bit (qubit) is the tiniest unit of quantum data, or, in other words itis the quantum analog of the normal computer bit utilized in the field of quantum computing. A quantum bit can exist in superposition, which implies that it can exist in different states immediately. As compared with regular bits, which can exist in one of two states, 1 or 0, the quantum bit can exist as a 1, 0 or 1 and 0 in the meantime. This considers quick registering and the capacity to do huge numbers of figuring immediately, hypothetically.

Over 5 Decades of advancement in mathematics, materials science, and software engineering have changed quantum computing from hypothesis to the real world. Today, genuine quantum PCs can be accessed through the cloud, and a large number of individuals have utilized them to learn, direct research, and handle new issues.

Quantum processors might one be able to day give leaps forward in numerous orders, including materials and medication disclosure, the enhancement of complex frameworks, and computerized reasoning. In any case, to understand those leaps forward, and to make possible to use quantum computers broadly, we have to rethink data handling and the machines that do it.

The Future is in The Air

The waves of cars that flood the roads today have been seen to go crazy. The passengers fight their way to their destination among the vehicles that look like tiny beetles in the day light and transform into fireflies at night. We wonder amidst this crowd of bug like machines if only they could actually fly above this mess and save our time wasted trying to get through.

This is obviously not the first time to come across the idea of a flying vehicle. The attempts, no matter how feeble, have been made ever since the Wright Brothers’ experiment in 1903. From aircrafts to horse carts, man has tried every possible way to carve a design and bring the idea into reality. The work has since been carried out by numerous practitioners and consists of 80 patents so far (Kevin Bonsor "How Flying Cars Will Work" 1 December 2000).

There exist, a large number of engineers who have been keeping up with the spirit of the notion, trying to make it work all these years. The following decades have seen the creation of technologically advanced and smoother running automobiles, however, there is not yet a well-established market for flying cars. Despite the lack of business in these machines, the world has seen many of these vehicles and to name a few of them we present the models designed and tested so far.

Dating back to the 1990s, a Solvakian organization named AeroMobil has been evolving the 4-seater model of its flying car that is expected to enable a vertical takeoff as well as an equally smoother run on the road. The independent takeoff and landing is supported by an electric mechanism which moreover, helps in the excellence of flight functions.

Another such model is the PAL-V ‘liberty’ which is described as “the car that flies and the plane that drives” (Production model of the PAL-V liberty flying car takes off, 2018). This automobile conveniently fits into the size of a regular one which makes it easy to run onn the road just like a normal car.
Last, but not the least, is the UK's first ever flying taxi- the vertical aerospace "eVTOL". It is a drone shaped automobile that has a distinctive characteristic of reducing  carbon production in the air and can be said to have an eco-friendly mechanism.
With this and a lot more sprouting designs, the future can see lesser fireflies and beetles on the roads, soaring high in the air instead. It is, however not yet so certain as to when that time may actually come.
