Renders show the gorgeous foldable phone that Samsung can’t make

A leaked Samsung video a few days ago showed us a bunch of devices that aren’t yet available in stores, but they showcased the kind of technology that Samsung is already developing. Among them, we got to see a foldable phone in greater detail than what Samsung was willing to show the world back in November at SDC 2018. Samsung pulled that clip from YouTube, but then officially released it online alongside a blog post that says the video “teases Samsung’s 5G products and foldable display technology to be launched later this year.” We now have a few renders based on the foldable phone from the video, and they suggest that the Galaxy F could feature a gorgeous design. Someday.

This is Samsung’s Galaxy S10+, again

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The Galaxy S9+ pictured at the top of this post was one of the sleekest and most powerful smartphones that was released in 2018. It was also one of the most disappointing smartphones that was released in 2018, and that’s why it’s rumored to be Samsung’s worst-selling Galaxy S phone since 2012. It’s a great flagship phone, of that there is no question. But it also features the same design as the Galaxy S8 series from the prior year, and it didn’t introduce a single new feature that might be compelling enough to get people to upgrade. It was a disappointment in every sense of the word, and that is perhaps why expectations are so high for this year’s new Galaxy S10 series flagship phones. Luckily, judging by all the leaks and rumors we’ve seen so far, it appears as though Samsung’s upcoming new Galaxy S10 will actually manage to deliver on our lofty expectations.

Samsung clearly phoned it in last year and as a result, the company’s earnings have taken massive hits over the past few quarters. But 2019 is shaping up to be an entirely different story, with not one or two but three different flagship phone launches that are all shaping up to be hugely exciting. It all starts later this month with the Galaxy S10E, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ that are set to be unveiled during Samsung’s first big Unpacked press conference of 2019. And now, thanks to a big leak from a source with a superb track record, we get to take yet another look at an actual photo of Samsung’s Galaxy S10+ ahead of launch.

Facebook’s latest move proves it’s betting big on blockchain tech

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Over the years, Mark Zuckerberg has made a number of smart moves that only helped him expand the reach of Facebook and improve the outlook of the business going forward. Purchases including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Oculus allowed Facebook to grow its customer base and monetize even more user data via ads, compete better against other image and video-based social networks, and develop new hardware and software experiences targeting VR users. The next major objective on Facebook’s roadmap seems to be the blockchain. The company has already confirmed its working on blockchain technology, and reports said Facebook will release its own cryptocurrency in the future, in the form of a stable coin that will be pegged against the dollar. It’s unclear when that will happen, but Facebook just made a significant move that further proves it’s serious about the blockchain.

Google adds two impressive features to Android phones for people with hearing loss

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Google is starting to roll out two new features for Android phones today that are meant to help the some 900 million people around the world who the World Health Organization says will be suffering from hearing loss by the year 2055. The features are actually two apps for Android called Live Transcribe and Sound Amplifier, both of which do exactly what the names imply.

The Live Transcribe app, for example, takes real-world speech and turns it into real-time captions using the phone’s microphone, while Sound Amplifier helps filter, augment and amplify sounds in the environment around the user. It increases quiet sounds while not over-boosting loud sounds, and it can also be customized, with sliders and toggles that can be used for noise reduction to minimize distractions in the background.

Jupiter, the mighty “king” of planets, is one of the most interesting objects in our Solar System, and not just because it’s really really big. The gas giant is covered in a swirling mass of clouds and storms that put any weather patterns on Earth to shame, and scientists would love to learn more about them.

NASA’s Juno orbiter has been hanging around Jupiter for some time now, and it regularly checks in on many of Jupiter’s colossal vortexes. Lately, a relatively new storm has caught the eye of scientists and Juno alike, and NASA just revealed an animated “movie” that shows its raging clouds.

Apple Watch ‘fall detection’ feature credited with saving man’s life

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

One of the more interesting things about the Apple Watch is how the narrative behind the wearable has seemingly done a 180. Early on, the Apple Watch was positioned as something of a fashion accessory. Remember, for instance, the outrageously expensive Apple Watch Edition? Today, in sharp contrast, Apple prefers to tout the device as a fitness tracker and health monitor.

Over the last few months, we’ve seen quite a few stories involving the heart rate monitor on the Apple Watch being used to detect potentially life-threatening health conditions. Indeed, it’s no exaggeration to say that the Apple Watch has helped save numerous lives at this point. And now comes word that the fall detection feature first introduced on the Apple Watch Series 4 has started saving lives as well.
