Galaxy Book S

A laptop with the essence of a smartphone, Samsung introduces the Galaxy Book S

We were expecting at least one surprise from Samsung yesterday and we got it. At the end of the Unpacked event, Samsung debuted the Galaxy Book S, a slim, lightweight system created in collaboration with Microsoft and Qualcomm.

The laptop comes with Windows 10 on a Qualcomm processor. One of the biggest benefits of Qualcomm‘s chip is its crazy battery life of 23 hours with a single charge according to the company.

Galaxy Book S has a USB-C port on both sides which means you can charge it with the Galaxy Note 10 adapter. For this reason, the company was very proactive with Windows accountancy for the Note 10. Microsoft even acquired CEO Satya Nadella to discuss the growing partnership between the two companies.

Inside the laptop hides an eight-core Snapdragon 8cx 7-nanometer processor. Comes in two colors and has a 13-inch touch screen. Samsung says it resembles a laptop but has the essence of a smartphone thanks to the chip and LTE connectivity. The laptop has 720p HD front camera, 8GB of RAM, microSD port, fingerprint sensor, light sensor, AKG stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos technology.

Galaxy Book S goes on sale in September for $999.

The Note 10+ 5G model will cost $1,300

As it did with the Galaxy S10, Samsung will sell a 5G version of the Galaxy Note 10. And just like the S10 5G, the Note 10+ 5G will be the franchise of mobile operators that have launched their own 5G networks around the world.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

In the US the phone will sell for $1,299 for the 256GB model and $1,399 for the 512GB model.

The 5G versions will go on sale on the same day as the standard versions and will be available for the Note 10 and Note 10+.

With the exception of 5G, phones want have any hardware advantage over the standard models. Note 10 Plus 5G will have the same 6.8-inch screen and the same camera setup.

Today the only reason not to buy a Note 10 5G is the availability of the 5G network. Also the companies around the world that have released 5G networks, its availability is very limited.

Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ officially Launched

8 years ago Galaxy Note is a phone that cannot be ignored. The original model, introduced at IFA 2011, looked huge, full 5.3-inches.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Nearly a decade on and hundreds of millions of smartphones sold, the line has undoubtedly transformed the way we view and use mobile devices.

Certainly the Stylus pencil has not become an indispensable element for devices other than the Note series, but the entire industry has changed its mind about large screens and productivity thanks to this phone.

Apple also came one day, and today the average screen size of a smartphone is 5.5 inches. With the battle of big screens winning, Samsung has another in hand.

The smartphone market has stalled, even retreating, and for the first time companies have a difficult mission in their hands. How can they make their products constantly compelling?

The problem is that companies have been the ones to set themselves up with shoulder on the wall. Smartphones have become so good that users do not have to switch phones so often. Top models have become very expensive starting at $1,000. Between the S series and the Note Samsung has left a cycle of only six months and these phones are used to bring the latest technologies. Also the differences between them have been eliminated and the S Pen is the only option that changes them.

With the introduction of the Note 10 and Note 10+, Samsung is trying to give users a secondary flagship. Like the S line, the Note is split into two different devices (actually three if we consider the 5G model). The standard Note 10 model took a step back in screen size.

The base model switches from 6.4 to 6.3 inches but why? Samsung believes that a smaller screen makes the device easier to use. But seeing that the Note 10+ has the same size of the Note 9, users immediately realize how compact the Note 10 is.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_5″]

The ratio between the screen and the body of the smartphone is impressive. Today the 5.3-inch is nothing compared to the size of the 2019 screens, but then it was a big step forward.

Perhaps you’ve seen endless leaked images of phones that have proven to be true. It’s a beautiful phone. Samsung has worked harder with the curves, leaving an almost an inexistent frame. The camera cutout on the S10+ has been removed in favor of a small hole in the center of the screen. Samsung said it has given up to a dual selfie camera to upgrade a single camera through software and artificial intelligence.

One very important detail missing is the 3.5mm headphone jack. After making fun of Apple for several years, the company is doing what the iPhone giant did three years ago. Large batteries are back with the 3,500 mAh on the Note 10 and the 4,300 mAh on the Note+.

To help eliminate the 3.5mm headset, Samsung has included a pair of USB-C AKG headphones in the package that will cost you. Also the dedicated Bixby button is no longer available and the virtual assistant can be activated by holding down the power button.

Samsung is still investing in virtual assistant but overall it has reduced the momentum of the early days. On the back of the phone is a 16-megapixel super wide-angle camera, a standard 12-megapixel wide-angle and a 12-megapixel telephoto.

The Note 10+ also adds a Time-of-Flight sensor to add image depth. It’s a small difference between the two phones for the screen and the battery.

The camera software has some interesting extras like bokeh effect on video. Using gyroscope and machine learning, the camera system reduces the vibration in the picture. The TOF sensor brings a 3D camera scanner and users can scan an object and convert it into a moving design element.

Zoom-in Mic is another very interesting option which uses microphones to direct the sound source to the point where you have focused the camera. Night Mode has been added to the 10-megapixel selfie camera for low-light selfie.

The stylus S Pen has adopted a solid unified design. Samsung has made it possible to create customized gestures with this device. DeX continues to be a part of Samsung conferences. The company says the data copying function between Note and a Mac or PC with drag-and-drop has been improved. Still the DeX brand is blurry at this point and looks more like a show than a real product.

Finally inside the Note 10 and Note 10+ you’ll find a Snapdragon 855 processor coupled with 8GB of RAM on the Note 10 and 12GB of RAM on the Note 10+. Both versions have 256GB of basic storage while the Note 10+ has 512GB.

Orders are open from today, August 8th. The phones are in stores on August 23. The Note 10 starts at $950 and the Note 10+ starts at $1,100. Packaging for today’s orders are even the Charging Duo adapter and the Galaxy Watch Active smartwatch.

A 5G variant of the Note 10+ will also be sold at the same time, though it will be a franchise for operators that have launched 5G in the US or elsewhere in the world. Price for this model was not announced by Samsung.

This camera will shoot pictures that have a resolution of 12,032×9,024 but no other specifics have been released.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

“See You Later” writes briefly in an image released by the company, revealing ambitious data for this new camera.

Given that the current cameras, which are located on smartphones, which have a capacity of about 48 megapixels, this camera seems to be extremely powerful and in some form impossible.

This is not the first time that Xiaomi has tested a powerful camera on phones, having successfully tested the 64-megapixel camera, which will be launched later this year as part of a new very good phone.

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus in New York tomorrow. But if you don’t want to wait until tomorrow to find out more, the Note 10 suffered another leak this time from Samsung’s own marketing materials.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

According to them, the Note 10 will have a 6.3-inch display while the Note 10 Plus will have a 6.8-inch display, both with “hole-punch” cameras. As expected the S-Pen will have some new tricks like gestures in the air and switching from one camera lens to another.

Also Note 10 is supposed to have super fast charging technology which delivers several hours of battery life with just a few minutes of charging.

But marketing materials do not go into details of every specific but says that the Note 10 can capture beautiful portraits, beautiful landscapes and clear photos at close range and at any level of light.

Finally the phones have “Audio Zoom” microphones that will work to hear audio coming from the object you have focused on in the video. LG offered a similar feature to the V30 a few years ago but this Note 10 is expected to perform better.

A unified front of regulatory authorities is being created that opposes Facebook’s plans with Libra

There was no doubt that the cryptocurrency of Facebook Libra would counteract, but facing an unified front was not predicted.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

Regulatory authorities from the US, Britain, the European Union and four other governments have asked Facebook to answer some questions about how it will protect user data.

The social network has not been able to meet the regulatory authorities’ requirements in the past and there is no assurance that it will do better with Libra in their letter to the social network.

The authorities want to know that Libra will have taken the necessary measures to protect personal data, including transparency and adequate means of protecting personal data with a minimum collection of information.

They also want to know if those companies that process payments will adhere to these obligations and apply the same standards in different countries.

The group expects a response from Facebook even though it has not set a deadline. The social network one way or another should address these concerns. Politicians have gone so far as to propose a temporary ban on working in the Libra.

After many years of delay, Intel’s 10-nanometer processors arrives

Intel had warned us long ago about the 10th generation of processors codenamed “Ice lake” and is now ready to provide more details.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

The company will launch 11 new processors ranging from a dual-core Core i3 to a four-core Core i7, all built on the 10-nanometer “Sunny Cove” architecture.

However the situation with model numbers is somewhat complicated because the company offers three different graphic options. If you thought it was difficult to distinguish Intel processors from one another, prepare for more complex names like the Core i7-1068G7.

The new processors come with Iris Plus teraflop performance graphics that can play some games at 1080p, a notable achievement especially for integrated graphics.

But only 10th-generation high-end processors will get the full graphics power of Iris. At the end of their label they will have a “G7” indicating they have 64 processing units.

The G4-labeled processors at the end have 48 processing units but retain the performance benefits of Iris. The lowest level is the G1 which have the usual integrated UHD graphics with 32 processing units.

As usual Intel shares the family of processors for the Y series laptops for super-thin and efficient models and the U series for ultra-laptops like the Dell XPS.

With this generation the Y-series processors will become more powerful with the first four-core model. Despite this line it is not expected to be able to play 1080p games with G7 Iris Plus graphics as well.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_5″ tdc_css=””]

The 10th generation processors have turbo frequencies up to 4.1Ghz while the Core i7-8565U up to 4.6Ghz. Still the new chips are more powerful than the previous generation in other directions.

Intel says Sunny Cove architecture can deliver 18% more processes than before. So with the same frequency, the processor does more work. There were also improvements to the larger L1 and L2 cache.

The new processors bring more power for AI tasks, support for Thunderbolt 3 with up to 4 four ports, and next-generation Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. And of course the new 10-nanometer architecture means more efficiency. The first laptops with 10th generation processors are expected to come from Dell like the XPS 13 or Acer line with the Swift 5 line and many more.

While the top is not visible, the sides look like other laptops from Samsung, only that this new one is much thinner.

Specs have not been released, though the USB-C port and headphone jack are expected, while it is expected to have a Snapdragon 855 processor and 8GB of RAM.

It is already seen that with this laptop, Samsung will rival Microsoft, only it is not known when it will launch.
