Mar 14, 2023

The fields of technology and healthcare have always been closely connected. The advancements made in science form the foundation of modern medicine, from curing diseases and facilitating surgeries to playing a crucial role in early diagnosis. Recently, many technology companies like Apple have focused on bringing health solutions to the forefront through their products. We have already reported on Gizmochina about how the Apple Watch can pre-detect some heart conditions. Now, a similar move has come from South Korea. Samsung has announced that it is supporting the digital diagnosis of Alzheimer through the use of the Galaxy Tab S8+. Here are the details…

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8+ to Play Major Role in Digital Alzheimer Diagnosis

Samsung has announced that it is supporting the digital diagnosis of Alzheimer using the Galaxy Tab S8+ Enterprise Edition. The company’s Swiss subsidiary has collaborated with Bottneuro AG, a medical technology startup, to conduct research on the development of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis solution.

Bottneuro has developed technology that identifies the brain area where Alzheimer occurs through 3D MRI and PET data, and conducts electric target treatment with the self-developed neurostimulator ‘Mia Mind’. The Galaxy Tab S8+ is used to control the neurostimulator and transmit treatment data. This development makes early diagnosis much easier and accessible.

The solution developed through this research will be provided to clinical patients in hospitals in Switzerland. Samsung plans to supply 100 Galaxy Tab S8+ products in June, with the number of units supplied set to increase to 2,500 by the end of this year. The company aims to expand product supply to various regions, including Europe, next year.

The use of digital diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease is becoming increasingly important as the global population ages. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are currently around 50 million people worldwide with dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form. This number is expected to triple by 2050.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 50 million people worldwide suffer from dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60-70% of dementia cases. In 2021, the number of people with dementia is projected to be approximately 55 million, and this number is expected to increase to 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050, due to the aging of the global population.

Meta is Ending NFT Support for Facebook & Instagram

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has decided to wind down support for NFTs on its platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The move comes less than a year after the company started pushing for the adoption of digital collectibles on its platforms. Meta’s Head of Commerce and Financial Technologies, Stephane Kasriel, announced the decision on Twitter and stated that the company had learned a lot from the initiative that could be applied to products that support creators, people, and businesses on its apps, both now and in the metaverse. Kasriel did not provide a reason for the decision but said the company would focus on monetization opportunities for Reels and messaging payments across Meta.

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique digital assets that use blockchain technology to verify ownership and authenticity. They can represent a wide range of digital content, such as art, music, videos, and tweets. NFTs have gained popularity as a way for creators to monetize their digital works and for collectors to own unique and rare digital items.

Mark Zuckerberg had previously announced Instagram’s work on NFT support at SXSW in March 2021, and the feature was launched in May of the same year. The company announced its expansion in November 2021, allowing creators to mint and sell collectibles directly on Instagram. Zuckerberg had suggested that NFTs could play a role in Meta’s metaverse plans, stating that he hoped users could mint their avatar’s clothing as NFTs and take it between different places in the metaverse.

Meta has been in a period of restructuring, and many initiatives have been shut down. The company has laid off thousands of workers and shut down numerous projects in what Zuckerberg has described as the company’s “year of efficiency.” Meta’s crypto wallet, Novi, was sacked last year, and rumours that it would have NFT support on its roadmap have not materialized. The company has also cut back on projects with its metaverse division, Reality Labs, and its program that paid bonuses to Reels creators.

Mar 14, 2023

In 2021, Nothing, a tech startup, released its first product called the Nothing Ear (1), which gained popularity for its unique transparent design and inclusion of ANC. The brand is now preparing to launch its successor, the Nothing Ear (2), with a scheduled launch date of March 22. Despite this, promotional material and specifications for the earbuds have already surfaced online.

The leak comes from Tech Outlook citing tipster OnLeaks as the source. The report reveals the design of the Nothing Ear (2) will be quite similar to its predecessor. The earbuds will continue to sport a semi-transparent design for the earbuds and the charging case.

Featuring a stem design and silicone ear tips for improved grip and passive noise cancellation, the earbuds showcase their internal components and battery cells through a transparent section. A microphone cutout can be observed on both sides of the earbud, and the Nothing Ear (2) branding is imprinted on the stem. The charging case also boasts a semi-transparent design, with a transparent lid and a white covering that conceals its internal components.

As per the aforementioned report, the upcoming Nothing TWS earbuds will retain the 11.6mm drivers seen in the first-generation model. Each earbud will offer a claimed playback time of up to six hours with a single charge, while the charging case is expected to provide up to 36 hours of battery life. The charging case will also support fast charging and Qi wireless charging.

The Ear (2) is said to come equipped with some premium features like Hybrid ANC, which will effectively reduce background noise. Weighing at just 4.5 grams each, the Ear (2) will be lighter than its predecessor by 0.2 grams. The earbuds will also come with an IP54 rating for protection against water splashes and sweat.

There are speculations that the Nothing earbuds will allow for connecting two devices at the same time, and might also offer Personalised Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), allowing users to adjust the ANC strength to their preference. Additionally, the Advanced EQ feature will enable users to customize their sound preferences as well.

Mar 14, 2023

Samsung Foundry, the second-largest foundry in the world after TSMC, is set to begin mass production of chips using its third-generation 4nm process node. This comes after the company had yield issues with its 4nm chip production last year, resulting in Qualcomm moving production of its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to TSMC. However, Samsung has seen improvements in its yield rates, which have risen from 35% at one point last year to 60% now, as well as boosts in performance and energy-efficiency. We might get to see the new 4nm process node in Google’s Pixel 8 lineup, which is expected to release later this year.

While 3nm is the most advanced node available, Samsung’s 4nm and 5nm processes are currently being used more frequently, accounting for 22% of chips produced during the third quarter of last year compared to 16% manufactured using 6nm and 7nm process nodes. The only phones expected to be powered by 3nm silicon this year are the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra.

Google’s Pixel 8 series, set to be released in the fourth quarter of this year, is likely to be powered by the third-generation 4nm process node, with the Google Tensor 3 chipset for the new handsets expected to be produced using this technology. The Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel 7a are expected to be powered by the Tensor 2, which is built on Samsung’s second-generation 4nm node.

Both TSMC and Samsung plan to produce 4nm chips in the United States starting next year, with TSMC’s fab in Phoenix, Arizona and Samsung Foundry’s facility in Taylor, Texas, adding a 4nm production line. TSMC hopes to start shipping 2nm chips to customers in 2026, while Samsung plans to begin 2nm production in 2025, followed by 1.4nm production in 2027. Intel has also stated that it plans to match TSMC and Samsung Foundry in 2024 and regain process leadership the following year.

So far, Realme has launched the Realme 10 Pro 5G, the Realme 10 Pro+ 5G, and the Realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola Edition. The company has confirmed through its social media handle that the Realme 10T 5G will be announced at 4 pm (local time) on March 21 in the country. The company has also confirmed key features of the device.

The Realme 10T 5G will be powered by the Dimensity 810 chipset and will offer 256 GB of internal storage. It will feature a 90Hz display and a 50-megapixel primary camera on the back.

Mar 14, 2023

Google has finally put out a new feature drop for Pixel devices and the Pixel Watch, giving users access to several highly anticipated updates. Night Sight, a popular low-lit photography feature, has been optimized for faster processing on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro phones. The Magic Eraser tool, previously exclusive to the Pixel 6, will now be available on all Pixel handsets. Magic Eraser allows users to remove unwanted objects from their photos with just a few taps. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, Magic Eraser can intelligently fill in the area where the object was removed, seamlessly blending it into the surrounding environment. This feature is particularly useful for getting rid of distracting elements in your photos, such as power lines or strangers in the background. With Magic Eraser, users can easily clean up their photos and make them look even better than before.

In addition, Google’s Health Connect app will now come pre-installed on Pixels, providing a convenient hub for storing health and fitness data from various apps. Finally, the Direct My Call+ feature arrives on older Pixel models, allowing users to bypass tedious customer service menus when making calls. Google also highlighted its recent addition of Fall Detection on the Pixel Watch, which can automatically call emergency services in the event of a hard fall.

It is noteworthy that if users want the stable version of QPR2, they will need to exit the Beta program first. To do this, before March 13th, users will need to go to www.google.com/android/beta and click on the rectangle that says “View your eligible devices.” They will then be taken to an image of their Pixel device with the words “Opt out” underneath. Once they tap on the button, that’s pretty much it. If they do nothing, users will receive the QPR3 Beta 1 update today, and they will be forced to stick with the Beta program until June 5th when the June Feature Drop should be released by Google.

Mar 14, 2023

Earlier this year, OnePlus revealed that its first tablet in the market, the OnePus Pad will be launching in April 2023. The tablet will be powered by a Dimensity 9000 chipset and feature a unique 7:5 aspect ratio.

OnePlus has now announced that pre-orders for their new tablet will start on April 10, 2023. However, the process may not be straightforward as the company has hinted that they may only accept deposits for the Pad on that day. The buyer will be required to pay only a deposit for the tablet on April 10, 2023, and the remaining cost will be collected at a later time, which has not yet been specified by OnePlus.

OnePlus has teased an “amazing gift” in their marketing material for the new tablet, but it remains unclear if it refers to the tablet itself or a bonus item for those who pre-order. However, by clicking on the “Notify Me” button located on the product page, interested buyers can participate in a promotional contest to win either a free tablet or a pair of OnePlus Buds Z2.

OnePlus Pad specs

The OnePlus Pad boasts an 11.6-inch display with a high 144Hz refresh rate, a sharp resolution of 2,800 x 2,000 pixels, and a bright peak brightness of 500 nits. Its powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, ensuring smooth and efficient performance.

Is Samsung Faking Pictures of the Moon Using AI?

By

Anubhav

-

Mar 14, 2023

A recent Reddit post has called out Samsung’s pictures of the moon, claiming that they are fake. The images, which have been popular with Samsung users for their high level of detail, were tested by a user of the platform who created a purposely blurry photo of the moon and displayed it on a computer screen. The screen was then photographed using a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra device. The resulting image was sharp and showed detailed images of the moon that weren’t present in the original photo. While Samsung has denied accusations of image overlaying or texture effects, it has admitted to using AI to detect the moon and enhance details by reducing blur and noise.

The controversy highlights the importance and complexity of image processing, especially as computational techniques become more prevalent. It raises questions about what constitutes a “fake” photo in the age of digital photography and computational enhancements. The author argues that the issue is complicated by the fact that the concept of “fakeness” is a spectrum rather than a binary “fake” or “not fake” image, and that the use of computational techniques blurs the line between “optically captured” and “software-generated” data.

The article suggests that Samsung’s process is more intrusive than upscaling blurry details using AI, as it creates new details that were not present in the original photo. This process produces a generated image rather than a photograph, and some may consider it to be “fake.” The author argues that the viral appeal of Samsung’s moon photography has made it a convenient application for computational photography, and that Samsung’s failure to explain the feature has allowed people to believe that it is a physics-defying optical zoom.

As computational techniques become more common and applied more widely, the author suggests that the line between “real” and “fake” photos will become even harder to tread on. The future may see the use of “detail improvement engines” on all sorts of data, such as faces and landmarks, to produce high-quality photos. The article concludes by suggesting that, in time, people may forget that images produced using computational enhancements were ever considered “fake.”

Apple launched the iPhone 14 series smartphone a few months back, and as soon as this new lineup was made available for purchase in the market, the company stopped selling some models of the previous generation’s iPhone 13 series.

Now, all the iPhone 13 series models except one are available for purchase but in refurbished versions from the Cupertino-based technology giant’s own online store in the United States.

Apple has today started selling refurbished iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max smartphones through its online store in the United States. The devices come at a discounted price, with the standard model costing $619, the Pro model being available at $759, and the Pro Max model priced at $849.

The Apple iPhone 13 lineup was first introduced in September 2021, and this is the first time the company started selling its refurbished versions in the United States. However, Apple started selling the refurbished version of this lineup in the European market earlier this year. As the 13 Mini refurbished option is being sold in Europe, we expect it to soon be available in the United States.

In the US, the company has introduced multiple color options and storage capacities for these smartphones, but the availability or stock may fluctuate as Apple sells what is available. All the refurbished iPhones come with new batteries, outer shells, and a new USB-C to Lightning cable in the box.

Mar 13, 2023

Enabot has launched the EBO X home robot on Kickstarter and the crowdfunding campaign has achieved tremendous patronage so far. The campaign for the Enabot EBO X has reached almost 20 times its original goal (about 1,900%). The campaign involved a huge discount from the $999 retail price listed for the home robot. This could be one of the major reasons for the huge patronage of the EBO X on Kickstarter.

Enabot seems to be riding on the crest of massive demand for home automation solutions. The EBO X is a family bot that is designed as an ultimate home automation product. It is an upgraded version of the Enabot Air and comes with a stabilized 4K camera in place of the Air’s FHD camera. The new home robot combines all the features of a smart speaker, a telehealth elder monitor, as well as a pet companion. The robot uses precision sensing to move about by itself within the home.

The EBO X home robot comes with enhanced AI and security features. It supports the Alexa voice assistant and can zoom autonomously via its V-SLAM navigation. It has a dual-core, 5 TOPS-capable X3M chip that is capable of tasks like fall detection and protection of children or pets from potentially dangerous or vulnerable areas in the home. The Enabot EBO X also is capable of providing home entertainment through its built-in Harman AudioEFX-tuned sound system.

The EBO X home robot is a robot on wheels, hence it is unable to climb stairs in the home and it cannot be seen from a height or distance. The stated drawbacks notwithstanding, the EBO X has amassed a massive followership on Kickstarter. It has reached about $200,000 in pledges, far beyond its goal of $10,000. The crowdfunding campaign for the Enabot EBO X home robot will end in about six weeks and the outlook remains very bright.

Omnivision has announced the launch of a new 2K 4-megapixel image sensor designed for consumer security and surveillance cameras. The new image sensor, named the OS04D, features a 2.0-micron high-performance backside-illuminated pixel that provides higher sensitivity, ultra-low noise, and better overall image quality. Here are the details…

Omnivision Launches New Image Sensor for Smart Home and Baby Monitoring Devices

The OS04D image sensor, which comes in a cost-effective 1/3-inch optical format, offers 40% power consumption savings compared to its predecessor. Additionally, it provides improvements of over 30% in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and 40% in sensitivity. The PureCel®Plus technology-based BSI pixel in the sensor enables higher sensitivity and ultra-low noise, while select conversion gain (SCG) allows the sensor to flexibly select low and high conversion gain depending on the lighting conditions.

Furthermore, on-chip auto exposure control (AEC) and auto gain control (AGC) accelerate system-on-chip (SoC) booting time, which makes it an efficient and reliable solution for battery-operated devices such as doorbell security cameras. The low power consumption of the sensor is beneficial for such devices.

According to Cheney Zhang, Senior Marketing Manager at Omnivision, “the OS04D image sensor is designed to provide the ideal balance of performance and cost for mainstream IP and HD analog security cameras.” For security camera image sensors, the most critical component is their ability to produce sharp, high-resolution images.

The OS04D image sensor produces extremely clear images and has fast frame rates to capture real-time, fast-moving HD video. Its PureCel Plus pixel architecture achieves high quantum efficiency and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in extremely high sensitivity in low-light conditions.

The OS04D image sensor is pin-to-pin compatible with Omnivision’s OS04L image sensor as well as other new products that the company will launch in the future. It is a significant improvement over its predecessor, offering improved performance, low power consumption, and an ideal balance of performance and cost for mainstream IP and HD analog security cameras. Its high sensitivity and low noise make it an excellent solution for low-light conditions, making it a perfect fit for doorbell and baby monitoring devices.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Might Bring Back the Fan-favorite Rotating Bezel

The Galaxy Watch 5 series was an interesting refresh, offering consumers several models to choose from. But Samsung did break some hearts by ditching one of the most beloved features on its smartwatches— the rotating bezel. Its origin dates back to the time when the company’s smartwatches used to be sold under the “Gear” moniker. Now, it is being claimed that the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 series could bring fan-favorite rotating back. Here are the details.

According to YouTuber Super Roader, the physical rotating bezel will be back with the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 series. But there’s a catch— only the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro will be worthy enough to feature it. The standard Galaxy Watch 6 may have to make do with a digital bezel, which isn’t necessarily a downside, but it cannot fully replicate the authentic tactile sensation of a physical rotating bezel.

If you have ever worn a Samsung smartwatch (Galaxy Watch 4 series or older), you would appreciate the sheer pleasure of using the rotating bezel to effortlessly navigate through widgets, screens, and applications.

Separately, it has been reported that the Watch 6 Pro will be offered in two sizes— one will likely be a smaller size, made for those who don’t want a large watch. To recall, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro was launched in just one 45mm size last year. Reports also claim that the Watch 6 Pro will continue to focus on great battery life. We are not sure when Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy Watch 6 series. It may unveil the wearables in the second half of this year, alongside the new foldable smartphones.
