Galaxy Z Flip 5: The Evolution of Foldable Smartphones

Five years after Samsung Electronics pioneered foldable smartphones, these devices have seen remarkable advancements in performance and technology, addressing consumer demands for enhanced functionality and convenience.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5, the latest clamshell-style foldable released last summer, stands out with a broader front cover display and a lighter, slimmer hinge, making it easier for users to fold flat compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

At CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Samsung Display, the exclusive supplier of foldable screens to Samsung Electronics, unveiled groundbreaking concepts that push the boundaries of foldable smartphone design, offering a glimpse into the future of these devices.

Among the innovations presented is the Flex In&Out Flip concept, featuring a foldable smartphone display with a 360-degree folding capability, allowing users to fold the device completely backward. This unique feature enables users to utilize the phone’s full screen even when closed, facilitating activities such as taking selfies with the main high-definition camera.

Another concept, the Flex Liple device, showcases an extended dual-folding panel with one side shorter than the other when bent backward. The larger side accommodates several icons in the phone’s quick setting menu, media playback controls, and displays the battery level and time. Described as “a new foldable display with an edge panel” by a staff member at Samsung Display’s CES showroom, the Flex Liple represents an innovative step in foldable smartphone design.

While Samsung Display did not comment on plans to supply the new dual-folding display to Samsung Electronics, these concepts showcased at CES 2024 offer insight into the world’s largest smartphone maker’s vision to create a more versatile and useful lineup for future foldable smartphones.

Windows Users Get Ready: Microsoft’s Bold Move with the Copilot Key

Microsoft is adding a special button called the “Copilot key” to some new computers running Windows. This button will launch Microsoft’s AI chatbot, and it’s part of Microsoft’s efforts to be a leading platform for AI applications. The move aims to make it easy for users to access AI features by simply pressing a button on their keyboards.

Even though many people use phones to connect to the internet and AI applications, adding an AI button to computers is a significant step. Microsoft is working closely with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, to leverage generative AI technology. This comes amid increased competition among tech companies in the AI space, despite ongoing concerns about ethical and legal issues.

The redesign of the keyboard marks Microsoft’s most significant change since introducing the Windows key in the 1990s. The new AI button(Copilot Key), marked with the Copilot logo, will be located near the space bar on some computers, replacing either the right “CTRL” key or a menu key.

While other companies like Apple and Google have customized keys on their keyboards, Microsoft’s strong presence in the PC market, with about 82% of computers running Windows, gives it a unique advantage. The Copilot Key is expected to be featured on new models from various computer manufacturers, with some announcements expected at the upcoming CES gadget show in Las Vegas.

World’s first “Flying Taxi” approves in China

There is a greater need than ever for innovative, workable solutions to reduce traffic congestion in cities throughout the globe. Large Indian cities, particularly metropolises like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, are frequently featured in news articles regarding the traffic difficulties that city people experience and the amount of time they spend stuck in traffic.

In an attempt to address the traffic problem in a futuristic manner, Guangdong, the country’s booming southern province, has authorized the use of “flying taxis,” which will operate against the backdrop of the cityscapes. Ehang, a Guangzhou-based business, has produced the world’s first electrical vertical take-off and landing, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has granted it a “type certificate.”

The drone that was granted the type certificate, the EH216-S AAV, is a completely autonomous vehicle intended to transport two people.

This brings the vision of self-driving air taxis—which are a common sight in science fiction films across several languages—one step closer to reality.

At ‘Scary Fast’ event Apple unveils speedier M3 iMac

The ‘Scary Fast’ event at Apple officially began on Tuesday morning. Apple introduced a few brand-new Macs during the launch event that come equipped with the most recent iteration of the company’s proprietary processor.

The new M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max circuits are the “first personal computer chips” constructed using the more effective 3-nanometer technology, according to Apple.

According to the Verge, the trio of processors boasts a “faster and more efficient CPU” in addition to an enhanced GPU that supports mesh shading, ray tracing, and Dynamic Caching, which optimizes the device’s memory use while doing activities.

Apple said that the new 24-inch iMac’s M3-flavored upgrade is twice as fast as its M1-equipped predecessor. The revised iMac has a 1080p camera, a 4.5K retina display with over 1 billion colors, and Wi-Fi 6E capability in addition to the new CPU.

Along with having up to 24GB of unified memory, the iMac is available in seven different colors: green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver. Accessories that match the iMac’s color scheme are also included, however they’re all Lightning-connected.

The price of the 24-inch iMac, equipped with an eight-core CPU, is USD 1,299, while the ten-core model costs USD 1,499. It’s available for preorder now and will be delivered on November 7th.

Not all of the devices are getting M3 upgrades, including the iMac. Aside from that, Apple unveiled two brand-new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, each sporting an M3 Pro or M3 Max CPU.

A 22-hour battery life, a six-speaker sound system, a Mini LED display, and up to 128GB of RAM are features shared by both laptops.

The Verge reports that they come in silver and space black and have a new covering that is supposed to help prevent fingerprints.

Priced at $1,999 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro processor and $2,499 for the 16-inch M3 Pro. These MacBook Pro models will go on sale on November 7th, and preorders are already open.

Elon Musk intends to introduce “XWire,” a news distribution service

According to reports, Elon Musk intends to introduce XWire, a news distribution service that will compete with current platforms for sharing press releases and company PR news.

The news wire project was discussed at an all-hands meeting with staff members that was led by X CEO Linda Yaccarino and Elon Musk, according to Bloomberg.

Citing sources, the report stated that “the duo also referenced ambitions to create a news wire service called XWire, which would rival Cision’s PR Newswire.”

Regarding how X would more effectively compete with platforms that disseminate company news and press releases, Musk and Yaccarino did not share many details.

Musk, who is placing a significant wager on X Corp becoming a reliable news source, stated last week that the platform is “open source news” and that anything pertinent from traditional media is already accessible on X.

“They get the final say and can double down on their false narrative when fake news spreads on CNN, MSNBC, or in The New York Times or Washington Post,” the X user wrote.

Yes, Musk replied, mentioning that X is an open-source news portal.

That is the appropriate approach to take. In any case, anything pertinent from legacy media is republished here,” he continued.

Last month, Musk urged individuals to cover X through citizen journalism.

“Please support the expansion of citizen journalism! Using your phone, you can easily record live video. “The world will change with more everyday citizens reporting from the ground up,” he declared.

Musk extended an invitation to journalists in August to publish directly on X, the former Twitter, in exchange for a higher salary.

The business has also focused on hiring through the @XHiring account and using videos to compete with platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube.

India’s first satellite internet service launched by Reliance Jio

Friday saw the successful launch of Reliance Jio’s first giga-fibre service in India, which uses satellite technology to deliver high-speed, reasonably priced Internet access to remote regions of the nation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi witnessed the demonstration of JioSpaceFiber on the opening day of the “India Mobile Congress 2023.”

In order to gain access to the most advanced medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite technology available, Jio has teamed up with Luxembourg-based SES, the only MEO constellation that can provide gigabit-speed, fiber-like services from space.

“We broaden our scope to encompass the millions who are not yet connected with JioSpaceFiber,” stated Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. Chairman Akash Ambani.

With gigabit access to online services for government, education, health, and entertainment, “JioSpaceFiber will allow everyone, everywhere, to fully participate in the new digital society,” Akash Ambani continued.

Currently, Jio serves over 450 million customers with high-speed fixed-line and wireless broadband services.

The availability and scope of Jio True5G will be further improved in the most remote areas of the nation by the additional capacity for mobile backhaul that the satellite network will support.

JioSpaceFiber has already been connected to four of the most remote locations in India: Gir, Gujarat; Korba, Chhattisgarh; Nabarangpur, Odisha; and ONGC-Jorhat, Assam.

“Together with Jio, we are honored to support the Indian government’s ‘Digital India’ initiative with an innovative approach that aims to deliver multiple gigabits per second of throughput to any location in India,” stated John-Paul Hemingway, Chief Strategy Officer at SES.

The speaker continued, saying, “Even in the most remote areas of the nation, we are eager to see how this will lead to digital transformation. In certain regions of India, our initial space-based fiber-like services have already been put into use.”
