According to IDC, Samsung has a 19.4% market share, while the US tech giant held a 20.1 percent share.

According to analysts from the widely followed market tracker, Apple’s growth may be attributed to the popularity of high-end products like the iPhone.

At Unpacked 2024, Samsung Will Introduce Its First “AI Phone”

January 17, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

With the launch of the AI-powered Galaxy S24 smartphone series, Samsung Electronics showcases its in-house generative AI, called Samsung Gauss, and its on-device AI, called Galaxy AI, which enables operation without an internet connection.

With additional AI services, an AI phone’s capabilities go beyond those of a standard smartphone. The “Galaxy Unpacked 2024” event is set to take place in the SAP Center in San Jose, California, on January 18 at three in the morning KST.

Samsung will highlight the Galaxy S24 series as the next-generation smartphone and highlight that it is the first AI phone during the event. The company is committed to using AI developments to get beyond smartphone constraints.

Prior to Unpacked, one of the noteworthy AI offerings was real-time call translation. With Samsung Gauss integrated into the Galaxy S24, the translation service hopes to provide real-time translation of the other person’s call, in contrast to other services like Never Papago or Genie Talk that needed installation of separate apps.

Even if the other person doesn’t have an AI phone, this functionality still functions flawlessly. In essence, users may converse with an interpreter concurrently by selecting to listen to the translated chat in voice or view it in real-time as text.

Galaxy AI is essential to improving camera features, such as still images and motion pictures. Like the Galaxy S23 Ultra before it, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has an optical zoom of 100 times.

However, customers may now enjoy an expanded 150x camera zoom, a 1.5-times boost, thanks to the incorporation of Galaxy AI. Galaxy AI uses software correction to digitally enhance photos taken with the 100x optical zoom, producing better-looking images.

For this reason, the U.S. branch of Samsung Electronics has posted on its website that “Zoom with Galaxy AI is coming.”

Additionally, Galaxy AI helps with video and photo editing. When a topic is positioned off-center, Galaxy AI automatically stretches the backdrop to bring the subject into focus.

Features like taking a fresh backdrop picture or offering editing spots for easy tweaks may be included, especially when working with unsteady images or silent films.

A tool for summarizing material on websites or news items is Galaxy AI. It gives preference to using well-known terms, idioms, and sentences that people frequently use when summarizing.

It can also translate English or Chinese idioms discovered in an article upon selection, and it can quickly identify the species of a plant when clicked in a photo.

The $3,499 Vision Pro from Apple Has A Release Date At Last

January 10, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

According to Apple, the much-anticipated Vision Pro headset will be available for purchase in the US on February 2.

Although a debut date for the UK has not been announced, US buyers may pre-order the $3,499 (£2,749) mixed-reality device starting in mid-January.

It is the company’s first significant new product introduction since the 2015 debut of the Apple Watch.

In June 2023, the headgear was unveiled by the corporation following years of speculation throughout development.

However, problems have arisen since then. The Financial Times reports that Apple has cut its manufacturing estimates in half, from an expected one million devices in 2024 to only 400,000 units.

In addition to the release date, Apple said that the gadget would have 256GB of storage and made it clear that, in the case of an individual who is not able to utilize both eyes equally, the eye-tracking technology in the headset will be able to monitor one dominant eye.

Interestingly, though, the company is attempting to distinguish the headset from competing products by instructing developers to refer to their applications as “spatial computing” rather than “headgear.”

It stated in a blog post aimed at developers, “Don’t label your app experience as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), or mixed reality (MR).

Additionally, Apple has posted an online clip that appears to be an effort to replicate the excitement around the 2007 arrival of the iPhone and has characters from movies wearing helmets and goggles.

If it is effective, Apple may be able to generate new multibillion-dollar revenue streams. However, given that so many people worldwide struggle to pay for necessities, the expensive cost will probably confine this to the status of a toy for the wealthy.

The “mixed-reality” experience consists of digital stuff that is projected into your environment.

A single button on the upper right section of the headset has to be physically pressed in order for you to see the familiar app icons for iMessage, Photos, and Apple TV (more will appear as developers create them).

From that point on, everything revolves around gesture control. The headset detects your gaze, so when you look at an app, pinching your thumb and fingers together causes it to open.

A physical dial allows you to adjust the degree of immersion by increasing or decreasing the size of the object you’re viewing. It might take up the whole space or have the appearance of a TV screen pressed up against your wall.

However, regardless of your level of immersion, you may see someone walking in front of you in real life.

Nevertheless, if there was a problem during the demo, a representative from Apple would always warn us that it was still in its early stages and that any footage captured during the session could not be uploaded to the internet.

Kim Kardashian’s Mobile Game Is Going Down

January 5, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, the celebrity is closing down her popular smartphone game, which she released nearly ten years ago.

Players have been increasing their notoriety and moving up the social scale since 2014, realizing their A-list ambitions.

The 43-year-old made appearances in the game with her family members Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian.

Kim, however, told US magazine People that she would “forever be inspired” by the game’s community and confirmed the closure.

Hollywood was released by the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star in collaboration with mobile game company Glu.

Although it was a free-to-play game, users could buy K-stars, the in-game money, to advance in events, modeling, and dating.

“I’m so grateful from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has loved and played Kim Kardashian: Hollywood in the past 10 years,” she stated.

Although creating the game had “meant so much” to her, she stated that it was now “time to focus that energy into other passions”.

Though the game is no longer available in the Apple and Android app stores, users can continue to use its features till April 8th.

A countdown ticking down to the game’s closure has been added, according to recent pictures.

Hollywood apparently made more than $160 million after overcoming early skepticism after its premiere.

Gaming website Polygon recognized it as a paradigm for “mobile games unapologetically tailored toward young women” and included it among the top 100 games of the decade.

For further information, AAC has reached out to Kim Kardashian and Electronic Arts (EA), the company that purchased Glu Mobile.

A First Step Toward Ultra-Fast Computers The First Functional Graphene Semiconductor

January 5, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

Scientists have demonstrated the first semiconductor made of graphene that functions. The finding may permanently alter electronics and computers.

Researchers have achieved a significant advancement in the field of electronics by producing the first functional semiconductor ever using graphene, a substance renowned for its strength, flexibility, light weight, and high resistance.

Their finding coincides with the limiting of silicon, the raw material used to make almost all contemporary devices.

Due to the fact that graphene semiconductors are faster and more energy-efficient than silicon, scientists have been working feverishly to produce them.

According to the authors, the finding opens up new possibilities for the development of electronics and may represent a significant advancement towards the next generation of computers.

The limits of silicon semiconductors are being reached.
Bits, or ones and zeros, are represented by electricity passing through silicon switches in classical computers, such as the chip in your laptop or phone.

“All computers require semiconductors in order to operate. They enable us to design little switches that can be used to turn on and off energy. Computers are able to conduct computations because of the energy that flows through electrical circuits,” said Sarah Haigh, a materials professor at the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.

A possibility was graphene. The strongest known chemical bonds hold graphene, a 2D substance made up of a single sheet of carbon atoms, together. Similar to honeycomb, these carbons are organized in tessellated hexagons.

About 200 times stronger than steel, it is an extraordinarily strong substance. With just one atomic layer of graphene, it is strong enough to hold up a football.

Additionally, because graphene is so flexible, it may be printed on glass, plastic, or textiles in addition to being used in batteries and electrical equipment.

Scientists are especially excited about its potential application as a quicker and more energy-efficient semiconductor.

According to experts, the breakthrough has enormous promise for the electronics sector. One potential benefit is that it may enable the development of novel graphene semiconductors that are far more potent than silicon equivalents while consuming less energy.

**Semiconductors made of graphene may play a significant role in the development of quantum computers, such as the Chinese prototype.**

Because graphene electronics can turn on and off with less energy, they are more energy-efficient. Additionally, they let electrons to move freely without producing a lot of extra heat that needs to be cooled using fans, which uses energy, according to Haigh.

“This would mean phones could last for weeks without running out of battery, reduce energy consumption in all parts of our lives, reducing costs and the pollution from fossil fuels

According to De Heer, his finding could alter electronics in the future.

The development of quantum computer technology might be expedited, to start with, by the new graphene superconductors.

Though still in the early stages of research, quantum computers can tackle problems that would take conventional supercomputers millennia to solve in a matter of seconds.

According to experts, graphene semiconductors might aid in overcoming the numerous difficulties involved in developing quantum computers.

January 3, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

After a complete set of specifications leaked, NVIDIA teases the
GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series, which includes the GeForce
RTX 4080 SUPER with a 2,550 MHz boost clock and 23 Gbps of memory.

Although NVIDIA hasn’t revealed what it will be revealing at its Special Address at CES 2024, a new promotional image that has been posted to the company’s official GeForce social media pages, including the GeForce Brazil account and Facebook, suggests that it may be the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series.

Here’s a big, wallpaper-worthy version of the NVIDIA graphic that appears to tease the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series as something extraordinary, even if it will share the same shroud as the current standard versions, complete with ARGB lighting effects:

Shortly after the complete specifications for the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series leaked online, exposing higher base and/or boost clocks for every model—including a faster memory clock for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER—the new promotional picture was released.

According to a source, NVIDIA is improving the SUPER version by giving its 16GB GDDR6X RAM a little performance bump to 23 Gbps. As a result, the bandwidth over the 256-bit memory bus increases by 2.6% to 736 GB/s. The memory speed of the RTX 4070Ti/4070 SUPER will remain at 21 Gbps.

It goes on, “These SKUs are said to retain the same boost clocks as the original versions (2610 MHz and 2475 MHz, respectively), for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4070 SUPER. The base clocks, which are now at 2340 MHz (+30 MHz) and 1980 MHz (+60 MHz), are just cosmetically altered.

These charts list their enhancements and specifications, including TDPs, however it doesn’t seem like price is yet known:

US Permits Import Restriction On Smart Watches Apple Appeal

December 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

Apple has announced that it would challenge the US government’s decision to prohibit the sale and import of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 timepieces.

The step was taken after the Biden Administration decided on Tuesday not to relax limitations due to a patent dispute in an emergency manner.

Masimo, a manufacturer of medical devices, has charged Apple of stealing its technology and staff.

As a result, the US International Trade Commission banned the import and sale of Apple watches.

Apple “pre-emptively” banned the devices from US retailers and its website earlier this month. There has been no impact on sales elsewhere.

According To A Source, Apple Is Set To Start Shipping Vision Pro In Bulk

December 26, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

Often dependable supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated in a note on Monday that Apple will start shipping large quantities of its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset “in the first week of January” before introducing it at Apple Stores in late January or early February.

According to Kuo, Apple intends to supply “approximately 500,000” Vision Pro units in an effort to ensure the greatest possible start to the company’s most significant product launch in years.

According to the current mass shipment schedule, Kuo predicted that the Vision Pro would likely hit store shelves in late January or early February. These remarks aligned with a recent report from reputable Apple analyst Mark Gurman, who stated last week that Apple was getting ready to launch the headset “by February.”
Since revealing the Vision Pro in June, Apple has not provided a firm launch date, just stating that it would be available in shops “early 2024.” Following that, rumors began to circulate that Apple will probably launch the mixed-reality headset in March 2024.

However, given that these two prominent tipsters are essentially stating the same thing, it is more probable than not that Apple will release the Vision Pro for sale in around one month—a bit sooner than anticipated.

German reported last week that Apple is now “ramping up production” of the Vision Pro at its factories in China, “setting the stage for a launch by February,” citing sources with knowledge of the situation. He continued by saying that for the past three weeks, the Vision Pro has been manufactured “at full speed at facilities in China.”

The tech behemoth is allegedly urging software developers to test their apps and submit them to Apple for evaluation in order to prepare for the upcoming mixed-reality headset as the launch date draws closer.

Additionally, Apple intends to teach employees of Apple Stores on the proper ways to introduce and display the Vision Pro to prospective clients.

Is the Vision Pro going to be successful? It’s hard to tell for sure, but the steep $3,499 price tag is one thing that could turn off a lot of potential buyers. There are also rumors that Apple is working on a less expensive model, although it could take some time before it is released.

SpaceX Is Prepared For Fifth Attempt To Launch A Falcon Heavy Rocket

December 26, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

SpaceX will spend the next several days finalizing plans for a fifth attempt to launch the Falcon Heavy into space, after four abortive attempts earlier this month.

Previous attempts by SpaceX in recent weeks to utilize the rocket to launch an experimental spacecraft for the U.S. Space Force into orbit were thwarted by a variety of factors, such as inclement weather at the Florida launch site at Kennedy Space Center and an unidentified “side issue” on the ground.

The current intended launch date is Thursday, December 28, although there is no guarantee that the Falcon Heavy will launch on time based on the results of the last four attempts. Yes, SpaceX engineers will be closely monitoring the weather, since the current forecast calls for a lot of cloud and a probability of rain.

The rocket will be making its ninth flight since its inaugural one in 2018 when the Falcon Heavy eventually roars away from the launchpad.

Because SpaceX primarily uses its reliable Falcon 9 rocket for flights to and from the International Space Station as well as satellite deployment missions in low-Earth orbit, there is increased interest in the Falcon Heavy, which is made up of three Falcon 9 rockets joined together to create a more potent vehicle.

The thrust produced by the Falcon Heavy’s 27 engines upon launch is approximately 5.5 million pounds, or the equivalent of around eighteen 747 airplanes.

In addition to the spectacular sight of all that rocket force propelling it into orbit, spectators may also see the return and upright landing of two of the three boosters shortly after launch.

This is the first mission that SpaceX has launched the Space Force’s X-37B spacecraft, which is scheduled to launch on its seventh trip into orbit following its inaugural flight in 2010.

According to the Space Force, the unmanned vehicle, which resembles a scaled-down version of the space shuttle, will conduct a number of tests in orbit, such as flying in “new orbital regimes, experimenting with future space domain awareness technologies, and investigating the radiation effects on materials provided by NASA.”

Hopefully happening on Thursday, Digital Trends has all the details you need to catch the live feed of the Falcon Heavy’s launch.
