Huawei Preparing it’s Own Voice Assistant to Pitch Against Google Assistant

When we talk about virtual voice assistants, the two names that come to mind immediately are Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. While Google dominates the Android smartphone segment with its data-driven assistant, Alexa has carved out a niche of its own in the new smart speaker segment. However, if fresh news is to be believed, Huawei might soon join the race with the likes of Samsung and numerous other smartphone OEMs.

hauwei

Richard Yu, CEO of Consumer Electronics at Huawei was quoted by CNBC in an exclusive interview as saying, ” In the beginning, we are mainly using Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa” for its AI Cube and smartphones, he said. “We need more time to build our AI (artificial intelligence) services … Later we will expand this outside of China.”

Huawei already has a China-centric voice assistant called XiaoYi, not to be confused with the similarly named Xiao AI of Xiaomi. The world number two brand also recently unveiled the Huawei AI Cube which is the company’s first AI-powered smart speaker. Yu stated that until their own voice assistant is ready for prime time, they will continue using Google and Amazon’s offerings in their global products.

 

 

Despite the executive’s statement, much about the voice assistant remains unknown. There’s no detail on what languages it will support on debut nor the time of its unveiling itself or even what it will be called outside of China. However, it seems the ever-growing popularity of voice assistants has attracted the Chinese giant’s attention and it wants a share of the pie.

Google Camera gets Night Sight update on all Pixel devices

Google Camera is receiving a new update with the all-new Night Sight feature. Google announced it at the launch event of Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. It allows cameras to capture photos in low-light environments and helps to improve the overall light in the final processed image. The update is rolling out to all Pixel devices as of now, but the Search giant has said that the new feature will work best in the Pixel 3 series.

Pixel 2 Camera

Until now, almost every smartphone was having the issue of bad quality photos taken in the night time or in low light environments. To cure it, Google has added a new Night Sight feature, which helps the smartphone to capture crispier and lightened up photos. It will provide well-lit shots in dim lighting conditions. Google has already demoed the feature at the launch event, and later we have also tested it and found that the whole algorithm is quite impressive.

It can create lightened-up photo shots in dark environments. Though, Google has said that it will work better with Pixel 3 series as it is compatible with its learning based white balancer.

Along with the new Night Sight feature, Google Camera also packs usual bug fixes. It will improve the performance and stability of the Google Camera app on Pixel devices. The update is available for Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL and Pixel devices.

Users can use it by opening the app and then heading over to the “more” tab by swiping. Now, you have to select “Night” option. Later, if the device found a darker environment, it will automatically suggest you use the Night Sight. We recommend to use it when you see some dark environment or low-light situation.

Well, did you received the new update on your Pixel device?

Samsung Galaxy S10 to have three variants; components sourced from Chinese suppliers

Samsung is currently preparing to launch its next-generation Galaxy S-series smartphone early next year. As per the reports, the company will be launching three variants in the new Galaxy S10 lineup instead of the usual two.

Moreover, the latest report indicates that the South Korean company is also shifting its supplier framework. Samsung is reportedly increasing its dependence on Chinese manufacturers its upcoming smartphones. While the reason behind such move is not yet known, it could be the declining smartphone profits and increased technical capabilities of Chinese manufacturers.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Concept Render

As per the report, Samsung will source the Galaxy S10 lineup’s antennas from China. Samsung’s flagship smartphones use integrated antennas which combine Near Field Communication (NFC), Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) and Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) antennas.

Samsung’s Galaxy S-series devices usually feature antennas manufactured primarily by Samsung’s subsidiaries and by Korean manufacturers, especially Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Amotek. Currently, there are six Chinese companies supplying antenna to Samsung.

For the 5G variant of the Galaxy S10, the latest report indicates that Samsung won’t be using Qualcomm-branded chips. The company is reportedly in the process of developing its own 5G-compatible  communication processor. The device is likely to come with Samsung’s newly-announced Exynos 9820 chipset and the Exynos 5100 modem.

The company will reportedly launch three variants of the Galaxy S10 early next year, probably in February during Mobile World Congress — SM-G970F, SM-G973F & SM-G975F. Two of them will feature a 5.8-inch display while the third one will be the successor of the Galaxy S9 Plus.

The Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus will come with a triple-camera setup on the back, similar to what we’ve seen on Galaxy A7 2018. The Galaxy S10 Lite, on the other hand, is expected to come with flat display and side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Supply chain analysis reveals how Samsung managed to make a foldable smartphone

Samsung recently showcased its prototype foldable smartphone with Infinity Flex Display at Samsung Developer Conference, which turns into a tablet from a smartphone when the display is unfolded. However, the company has not talked about the technology which enables making such foldable devices.

Even though Samsung remains silent on the technology, a Korean publication connected the dots using a trail of reports and supply chain analysis, revealing how the South Korean giant managed to make a foldable smartphone.

Samsung Foldable Smartphone

It seems that Samsung has ditched the all-glass concept and has adopted the high-tech polymers with its trusted and long-term technology partners. Apparently, the South Korean giant has collaborated with the Japenese firm Sumitomo Chemical for producing a “luxurious” to the touch transparent polyimide that can be bent numerous times without any visible differences.

The transparent polyimide layer is attached to a flexible OLED panel directly underneath. It is attached using an extremely durable and flexible adhesive which Samsung has been developing for years. It allows the whole package to bend at the middle. The adhesive will also be able to stretch to a certain extent and will hold onto the package.

This adhesive from Samsung is called Optical Transparent Adhesive or OCA film, which is a special type of elasticized adhesive that can be bent thousands of times and still retain its original size and form. Further, it’s reported that the flexible OLED panel that Samsung is using has about 45 percent thinner polarizer.

As per the report, another Japanese supplier, Nichido Denko, is producing the polarizer film for the bendable display. Interestingly, the OLED display panel used in the Galaxy F smartphone is the same that’s used in the current Galaxy S9 or Note 9 models.

Another important part of the foldable smartphone is the stretchy hinge and the report mentions that the hinge will be sourced locally by Samsung from a company named KH Vatec. Samsung has put in a lot of time and effort with KH Vatec to develop the seemingly elastic and stretching hinge that sits right beneath the foldable display.

While Samsung has showcased its foldable smartphone, the actual commercial model is expected to be the Samsung Galaxy F or a part of Galaxy F-series. The company is yet to address the overall protection of the smartphone, user case scenarios, ergonomic issues, and software.

Design

Every design maniac would prefer Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite to its opponents because it features the most beautiful aesthetics. It has a stunning glass back and a higher screen-to-body ratio than its opponents. Further, it is available in gradient hues. Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi A2 both have a full metal unibody design available in normal colors, and the only important difference between their designs is the notch which is only present on the Redmi Note 6 Pro.

 

Display

All the displays of these devices are more or less at the same levels. They all feature an IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution, a similar brightness and a similar color reproduction. There is only a big difference between Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi A2: as said above, Xiaomi Mi A2 does not have a notch, but it features thicker bezels. So, choose by basing on your tastes.

 

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi A2 and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite have the hardware side which can provide the best performance. Both come with a Snapdragon 660 chipset and up to 6 GB of RAM. Xiaomi Mi A2 is slightly better in terms of performance because (unlike its opponents customized with MIUI) it has Android One installed, which is a stock and lightweight version of the operating system with faster updates and Google’s support.

 

Camera

The rear camera of Xiaomi Mi A2 is way better than Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. It comes with a higher resolution for the secondary sensor (20 MP) and brighter apertures, so it can capture more light and provide more detail. But when it comes to the front camera, Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is the most useful one as it has a dual front setup with a secondary depth sensor.

 

Battery

Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is the only phone of the trio with an above-average battery. It has a capacity of 4000 mAh and it is one of the most satisfying Xiaomi phones when it comes to battery life. There are not many phones in the market which can reach its battery life.

 

Price

All of these devices can be purchased with a price tag around €200/$226, with just slight differences depending on the street prices available at a certain moment. There is not a real winner of this comparison: you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite if you care more about design and performance, Xiaomi Mi A2 if you want good performance and a great camera, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro if you are looking for a long battery life.
