Apple has spruced up its Siri device in order to ensure that the privacy of conversations is maintained. Customers would not like their conversations revealed.
Off late Apple has rather acknowledged the fact that Siri does eavesdrop on a person’s conversations without user-knowledge and even when it is not actually activated. At the same time, however, it said that only “a small portion” of the conversation was indeed being tracked. Apple did say that its contractors were doing this just for quality control. There is understood that Apple reportedly suspends Siri’s quality control process.
Obviously, this news has attracted a lot of queries on privacy. Questions such as do a persona really believe Apple? And does listening to “a small portion” of a conversation mean anything? Is Siri not all that safe to make use of anymore? People were amazed by it and tried to shake it all off, Apple has now indeed reportedly shut Siri’s quality control process worldwide. Apple does that it is suspending the grading process of Siri globally and it will also be able to review the process, that it makes use of in order to determine whether Siri is able to hear queries correctly or is being subjected to by mistake. Apple reportedly suspends Siri quality control process as it felt it was required to do so.
Presently, Apple either does give an option to entirely disable Siri or not at all. As for Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa, and users do have a choice to disable the microphone recordings and still use the voice assistant when required.

Redmi K20, Redmi K20 Pro Gamepad with Bluetooth
Xiaomi has successfully introduced Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in the technology market and has carved a niche for itself among the customers.
Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has successfully launched its Redmi K20 series phones in China back in May this year. The phones did make their way to India in July. The key highlight of the Redmi K20 series phones is their rather powerful specifications and somewhat decent pricing. Xiaomi is now indeed looking to entice gamers to buy it’s Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 phones with a new gamepad. The company has rather announced a new gamepad for its Redmi K20 series phones in China. In fact, both Redmi K20, Redmi K20 Pro arrival has had their impact on the techno-savvy market.
Just one day after highlighting its launch, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has announced the launching of a new Redmi K20 costing Rs 21,999 gamepad on Tuesday, via Weibo. From the looks of it, it is quite similar to the gamepad that was rather launched alongside the first Black Shark gaming smartphone last year.
The Redmi K20 gamepad is rather priced at CNY 179 (roughly Rs. 1,800) but the company will allow Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro owners to be able to buy one at a discounted price of CNY 99 which is roughly Rs. 1,000. The Redmi K20 gamepad is on sale in China.
The compact gamepad can be hooked to a Redmi K20 or a Redmi K20 Pro smartphone on its left-hand side. The gamepad supports Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity and includes a 340mAh battery. The game controller comes with LT and LB buttons, a stick, configurable gameplay buttons, and a Bluetooth connection indicator. Redmi K20, Redmi K20 Pro has unique features.
There is actually no official word on whether the new Redmi K20 gamepad will be arriving in India. But judging by the company has already launched the Redmi K20 series phones in India, it does not appear to be a bad idea to launch it here as well. The popularity of Redmi K20, Redmi K20 Pro cannot be undermined.
If it is possible to recall, the Redmi K20 series phones feature an in-display fingerprint scanner, three rear cameras, and a large 4,000mAh battery. Both the phones are indeed currently being sold in India via flash sales.
With the smartphone gaming industry on the increase, more and more smartphone manufacturers are rather following the suit to deliver promising gaming experience. Keeping this in view, Xiaomi has now indeed launched a custom gamepad for its recently launched Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in China. Xiaomi’s Redmi K20-lineup does offer top-of-the-line specifications with enticing gaming performance. With a custom gamepad, Xiaomi is now rather looking to attract smartphone gamers out there. For those who are unaware, Xiaomi previously teased the very same controller on its official Weibo account a couple of days ago.
As mentioned earlier, Xiaomi’s latest custom gamepad is in fact made especially for the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro smartphones. It can be used with any other smartphone out there with Bluetooth connectivity. The controller does look identical to the one which was launched alongside Black Shark. Xiaomi’s new controller can be connected to a smartphone either to the right or the left edge. The handset will be of course held in the landscape mode just like with most controllers out there.
As far as size is concerned, the new custom controller is quite compact. When it comes to connectivity, the gamepad has the support of Bluetooth 4.2 with a Bluetooth connection indicator. Also, the controller has a 340mAh battery.
Moto E6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 forums open
Samsung has brought forth Moto E6 and Galaxy Tab S6 and has contributed well to the techno-savvy market. Customers have access to unique smartphones.
Moto E6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 forums are now of course open.
Wherever there is a phone or tablet being sold, someone is indeed looking out for more information about it. This week, there are two new device forums opening up so that people can gather the required information. The devices happen to be quite different from each other. It is better to join one of the forums in relation to Moto E6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6.
The Moto E6 has been launched on Verizon last week as a super affordable device. For just $149 a person has access to a 5.5-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 SoC, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP camera, and 3,000 mAh batteries.
Both Moto E6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 are unique in their own way.
It is indeed slightly more exciting as far as Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is concerned. Think of this tablet as a Galaxy Tab S5e with an S Pen and up-to-date specs. It has a 10.5-inch WQXGA, Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 855 SoC, up to 6GB of RAM, dual rear cameras, 4 speakers, an in-display fingerprint scanner, built-in S Pen charger, and 7,040 mAh battery. Looking from a feature perspective, both Moto E6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 have their specifications catering to the needs of the customer.
For years Samsung users had to resort to the ever-popular ‘battery pull’ due to “freezing up of Android and TouchWiz. This could be on account of third- party applications aggravating up, underlying bugs within Android or the TouchWiz OEM skin or even something with the hardware too such as the modem freezing up.
Samsung has achieved a lot this year and it has been a tumultuous year for it as well. It has come up with buoyant and complacent devices and most successful Android smartphones. The new Samsung Galaxy S6 has an eclectic curved-glass twin.
Samsung achievements
Samsung has indeed been experimenting with metal bodies up and down its product lineup, so it is not at all surprising for its successful venture in launching new models that come in full aluminum trim.
Samsung’s phones have been rather difficult to tell apart in the past on account of the company’s very set template, and the Galaxy S6 does feel like something of a missed opportunity in terms of a breakout design. With new materials and new priorities, Samsung could have rather gone in exciting directions but the Galaxy S6 not only indicates its forward approach but somehow manages to appear similar to Sony’s and Apple’s achievements.
Samsung has indeed come a long way with its in-house Exynos processor for all global versions of the Galaxy S6 which does indicate the company’s growing confidence in its ability to compete with top-tier technology firms such as Qualcomm. The Exynos 7420 SoC has four 1.5GHz ARM Cortex A53 cores and four 2.1GHz Cortex A57 cores, thus allowing the phone to strike a balance between performance and of course power consumption for all sorts of tasks. There is also 3GB of RAM, which happens to be the standard approach for top-end phones now.
With no microSD card slot, Samsung has made the Galaxy S6 available in multiple storage configurations. The strategy and pricing follow Apple’s precedents, but the base model comes with 32GB rather than 16GB, which seems like a direct shot across the bow.
Google to hold an auction for alternative search providers
Google holding an auction for alternative search providers is indeed a spectacular event and that too in the EU. It will bring forth various issues.
Google has been mandated to offer its EU Android users the ability to be able to choose alternative search and browser apps, the company has indeed decided to hold an auction to select the eligible search providers. The three highest bidders will rather appear alongside Google during the setup process for all Android smartphones and tablets thus starting at the beginning of 2020.
Once the user does select a search engine, it will automatically become the default option throughout the phone’s interface and even in Google’s Chrome browser. Users will indeed be able to switch their default search engine at any time after the initial setup. Thus Google will hold an auction for alternative search providers in the EU.
This approach is a direct answer to the €4.3 billion antitrust fine that Google did receive from the EU Commission a year ago when it was accused of pushing forward its search and Chrome apps as defaults on all Android devices. Back in April, Google came out with a solution to remind its users that they can indeed switch their default search as well as browser apps in Google Play.
Based on Google viewpoint, the choice for an auction process has turned out to be a fair and objective method to determine which search providers are included in the choice screen. Google will hold an auction for alternative search providers in the EU for this purpose.
Participating search engine firms will require the submission of a minimum threshold price that they are willing to pay each time a user does decide to select his or her product from the choice screen. The auction will actually be conducted on a per-country basis and the deadline to apply and submit bids is September 13, 2019.
The main requirement for entering the auction focuses on the search provider’s support in the local language throughout its interface menus in the country where they are rather applying for. Google does ensure that all information regarding the auction including the bidding companies and their proposals will indeed remain confidential.
Judging by Google reports, the choice for an auction process happens to be a fair and objective method to determine which search providers are included in the choice screen.
Google will also be requiring rivals to bid in order to become listed as alternative search providers on Android smartphones, which happens to be a move that is meant to try to keep additional antitrust scrutiny at bay. Google will hold an auction for alternative search providers in the EU in order to highlight this issue.
Starting next year, Google will rather be prompting users to make a choice between Google and three other rival options as their default search provider. Google has invited search providers to bid as part of an auction on the new choice screen, which will be appearing when a user sets up a new Android smartphone or tablet in Europe for the first time.
The European Commission comprising of its antitrust body, last year fined Google 4.3 billion euros ($4.8 billion) for strong-arming device makers for pre-installing its Google search and Chrome browser, thus providing it an advantage as the users are unlikely to look for alternatives if a default is already preloaded. The EU ordered Google to change that behavior and threatened additional fines if it failed to comply.
Google in April, in fact, started presenting users with a choice of alternatives to Google search and Chrome. It does appear somewhat challenging to produce a choice screen that will give consumers a choice.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro to ditch Gorilla Glass for AIR Glass
Huawei Mate 30 Pro has made remarkable strides and is coming up with unique features that will definitely make it sell well in the market.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro is planned to be released sometime later this year. Much talk about has been on the internet. It involves a new type of screen protection technology on the Mate 30-series.
Huawei hopes to replace the Gorilla Glass with AIR glass on the Mate 30 Pro. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer did recently file a trademark which came into force on WIPO’s website. The trademark was filed of course under ‘Class 9’, which is rather linked to smartphone covers, cases, protective glasses, etc.
