The best of iOS 14 isn’t available on iPhone

This feature is available on the iPad, but if you want to run it on an iPhone, you have to pay. One of the most notable features on iOS 14 is picture-in-picture. Simply put, this feature will minimize the video window playing back to the corner of the screen. It allows you to watch movies while running other applications.

This feature has appeared on Android versions for a long time, but until now, only on iOS. Not having to watch a movie in full screen lets you do multiple tasks at the same time. On the iPhone, however, the PiP has major limitations.

PiP on iPhone won’t work with free YouTube accounts. If you want to use this feature, you’ll have to sign up for a YouTube Premium account. It is a service that allows viewers to skip ads, listen to music in the background, and download videos.

Surprisingly, YouTube doesn’t block the PiP feature consistently on iOS 14. If you open a browser, go to a website that embeds a YouTube video and exit, the iPhone can still display the PiP video. On iPad, you can also watch PiP YouTube videos without needing a Premium account.

According to The Verge, it is not clear whether this is a bug or YouTube deliberately restrained users from taking advantage of this feature on iPhone. It should be noted that even on the iPad, to view the PiP you have to open it via Safari, but if you open directly from the app, you will need a Premium account.

After Apple officially released iOS 14, on some technology forums and iOS user community, a series of responses showed that iOS 14 caused the device to heat up and drain the battery. Many people also reported that after updating iOS 14, the Home swipe was not hidden in the game, so it was annoying. Currently, Apple has not commented on this error.

Galaxy S21 will have the fastest memory in the smartphone market

Maybe Galaxy S21 is the first phone equipped with DRAM LPDDR5 capacity up to 16 GB. The Korean tech firm announced that it had set up a new line at its Pyeongtaek facility. That wax beginning the world’s first 16 GB LPDDR5 mass production of DRAM.

This component will be mass produced on a third generation 10 nm (1z) process using ultraviolet technology. According to Vice President of DRAM Products and Technology Jung-bae Lee, 16 GB LPDDR5 marks a new step in mobile RAM manufacturing. It overcomes the barriers of increasing DRAM capacity and opens new avenues.

Samsung claims the new memory offers the highest speed and largest capacity ever available on a mobile device. The LPDDR5 on this process can transfer at a rate of 6,400 Mbs. Which is 16 percent faster than the 12 GB LPDDR5 memory available on flagships like the Galaxy Note20.

Manufacturing on a commercial 1z process also makes the LPDDR5 module 30 percent thinner than its predecessor. The smartphone will have more free space for other components, such as batteries. The new LPDDR5 manufacturing process can create a 16 GB package with just 8 chips.

It’s been rumored that the Galaxy S21 and Samsung’s upcoming high-end handsets will have 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM. In addition, this company confirmed that it is ready to provide other partners with the largest capacity and fastest mobile RAM module in the market.

With each generation, smartphones get more and more expensive, and users want to keep them longer and longer. However, that desire can vanish when you accidentally drop your phone. Unintentional damage causes the owner to break up with his favorite device.

Obviously these are not real-world situations. There will be many factors that affect when the user drops the device while using it. However, customers will be somewhat more secure and boldly spend $ 1,400 on Samsung high-end smartphones.

Intel has just put an end to the position of US technology

The world’s largest chip maker has decided to hire outsourcing, putting an end to an era of leading US semiconductor chips. Intel CEO Bob Swan announced a shocking decision to many. Intel will consider outsourcing chips outside instead of producing all the chips that label Intel as it has been for decades.

Intel’s decision may cause the balance of semiconductor technology to move, according to analyst Matt Ramsay of Cowen & Co. While it is a very important part, chip design is not the final process to create products that are processors or graphics chips. Manufacturing or outsourcing is critical to making sure chips can store more data.

Intel no longer holds the No. 1 position in chip manufacturing. The semiconductor company from Taiwan now makes chips on the 5 nm process, while Intel is still struggling with the 10 nm process so far.

Information about the delay of the new process makes Mr. Bob Swan face a series of difficult questions from investors. His answers were not much better, as Intel did not come up with a clear plan for hiring a processing partner.

Intel’s recognition of manufacturing process failure marks the end of an era in which the United States has always led the way in semiconductor technology. This can affect the world technology.

For the past 30 years, Intel has been the largest chip manufacturer in the world. That’s combining both chip design capabilities and leading manufacturing technology. The company invests billions of dollars each year in research and development.

Intel is also the last US chip company to still operate factories in the country. Most other companies have closed or sold factories in the US, moved abroad or outsourced them. Therefore, Intel’s recognition that it is difficult to continue will be a cold water in the US semiconductor industry.

Dark Mode on smartphones is only for technology blind people

Many people mistakenly believe the miraculous use of the dark regime. However, many studies indicate this is just a technological trend. A year ago, dark mode is famous on many technology platforms.

Apple’s newly updated iOS 13 has a dark mode. Android 10 has a dark mode. Windows 10, macOS Mojave, Chrome, Firefox, Gmail. Everywhere you can see the dark mode. It makes an injustice to see black text on a white background for years.

Đây là Giao diện tối (Dark Mode) trên iOS 13 – Thủ Thuật iOS

However, not everyone loves dark mode for the benefits above. Many unconscious users love the dark mode just because of the crowd effect, or because it’s weird.

Users believe that using dark mode will save more battery. But how much battery saving? According to iFix, the amount of battery saved is not too much. It only lasted about 1 hour for day with an OLED screen.

If a smartphone user does not have an OLED screen, no battery percentage will be saved. However, not many people know this. Users think that every night is to save battery.

Many others believe that the dark mode makes the eyes more comfortable. But this is not true. Adam Engst from tech site TidBits says that seeing white text on a black background for hours makes him more tired than usual.

In one study, Motherboard showed that looking at white text on a black background increases the risk of astigmatism because users will have to squint more to see.

Besides, many studies show that black and white background is the most readable mode. In a test by Passau University, readers reading black text on a white background detect more errors and read faster than dark mode.

Many users find that dark mode looks better. This is considered to be aesthetically pleasing. But it is only a matter of trend. 10 years later will this trend continue to be popular?

iPhone 2020 wireless data transmission

Apple is expected to use ultra-wide band technology to help devices transmit data at speeds of up to 500 Mb / s at a distance of 3m.

Technology blogger Ben Geskin has just released a series of photos that allegedly belonged to the iPhone 2020 (or iPhone 12). Apple’s new device is inspired by the iPhone 4 and will have significant improvements over the previous generation. Specifically, in addition to supporting the Wi-Fi 6 standard as the iPhone 11, the new device will integrate 5G connectivity, so the antenna slot on the side of the machine is wider than the old designs and made from other materials. This change comes from the fact that the connection system and 5G model are different from the old network technologies.

Besides, the “notch” on the iPhone 12 will also shrink because the new FaceID facial recognition hardware system will be smaller. Ben Geskin said Apple is experimenting with many FaceID solutions with different optical systems.

Changing the “rabbit ears” design is considered easy to understand. Apple’s FaceID technology is considered a branding feature but has become somewhat outdated compared to rivals. Instead of “Apple” cramming all the hardware on the top edge of the device, users expect them to shrink this “notch”.

The iPhone 12 may remove the Lightning port, but it won’t use USB type C like current Android models. Instead, the device will use UWB wireless technology (Ultra wideband, ultra-wide band) that allows data transfer rates up to 500 Mb / s in a distance of 3m and 110 Mb / s at 10m.

Earlier, Ben Geskin iPhone 12 would use three new overlapping circuit boards. This design aims to increase the internal space to accommodate other hardware, for example, 5G network components, while reducing the size of the device. From the iPhone X onwards, Apple’s phone models have used the arrangement of two overlapping circuit boards.

Earlier, analyst Ming Chi-Kuo said Apple could introduce next-generation iPhones with different screen sizes and all models support 5G. The 120 MHz ProMotion display on iPad Pro will also be included in the new iPhone. Besides, the smartphone launched in 2020 of “Apple” is also equipped with 3D camera and USB type C connector.

Apple’s overall satisfaction score is higher than Samsung scores (81 points), Amazon (79 points), HP (78 points), Acer (77 points) and others you can see in the table below:

According to the ACSI report: “According to the overall industry ranking, Apple ranked first for the second consecutive year with a stable and fairly high score of 83, and its customers so far have had expectations. Despite dropping 1%, Samsung still holds the 2nd position and is no longer in harmony with Amazon, which has dropped to 3rd. Amazon dropped 4% to 79, only 1 point higher than the industry average. Of the top three, Apple shows superiority in all aspects of the customer experience, but still lags behind Samsung and Amazon in value. ”

ACSI says that Samsung is the industry leader when it comes to the desktop segment, with Apple in second place, but Apple devices win in the laptop and tablet segments, resulting in a high overall score. Best for this brand.

Like last year, Apple achieved the highest rankings for everything from device design, to existing features and applications.

In terms of overall customer satisfaction, desktop PCs, notebooks and tablets still lag behind overall smartphone satisfaction, but among the larger devices, desktop computers have the highest level of customer satisfaction. .

It is known that in order to create a scoring system and give scores for such devices, ACSI used data from interviews with approximately 300,000 customers, thereby analyzing customer satisfaction for hundreds of companies in dozens of different industries.

OPPO officially launched the smartphone with hidden camera

Starting a few years ago, smartphone manufacturers started racing to increase the rate of the display and narrow the borders around. Since then a lot of new designs have been released, which started out as Essential Phone with the screen only having a small slot in the center for camera selfie.

We have seen that the selfie camera structure is stuck, rotated 180 degrees and swivel, or even a fish-like design. Samsung seems to be a pioneering smartphone company when it wants to bring the camera down below the screen, but the design of Infinity-O still leaves a hole that is considered a “mole”.

Today, a smartphone with the most perfect design ever released. At Shanghai MWC 2019, OPPO introduced a camera with a camera hidden completely below the screen, this is the first design and technology launched in the world.

The smartphone possesses a display with no grooves or holes, nor any mechanical structure. The selfie camera is hidden on the bottom of the screen, but it is still able to capture the light on the internal sensor, thereby capturing the image as a regular selfie camera.

OPPO revealed the display was made of a transparent material, the pixel structure was also redesigned so that light could penetrate. This screen area can still display and manipulate the touch as usual. But when the selfie feature is activated, the screen area becomes transparent.

tech

However, at this event, OPPO only exhibited a prototype, and no actual product to experience. OPPO said it has just started studying this new technology since 2017 and officially embarked on a prototype prototype in May 2018. There is still a lot to do to launch a complete smartphone. good.

OPPO acknowledges that the quality of photos taken with a selfie camera hidden under the screen will be worse than usual. There are many effects that affect the image quality, such as the screen being blurred and the colors are not realistic. OPPO is researching more algorithms to handle and increase image quality.

OPPO did not say when the smartphone was officially launched and produced in large quantities. However, this is still a big technological step, showing that future smartphone designs can completely change and become really perfect.

Galaxy S11 is ready with 5G modem 

According to the latest rumors, the processor chip of Galaxy S11 can support DDR5 memory and integrated 5G modem.

Next year, the technology world will be witnessing a real competition in the smartphone world, the next two Exynos and Snapdragon 865 processor chips will be produced on the second generation 7nm process technology of Samsung. Currently, the Snapdragon 855 in the Galaxy S10 for the US is still only produced on the first generation 7nm process while the Exynos 9820 for the international version is on the 8nm process.

However, what makes tech experts most concerned is whether Qualcomm and Samsung’s 5G modems will be true system chips or are still separate entities like this year. The demand for two separate components on the Snapdragon 855 has forced many phone manufacturers to produce their own “5G” versions, often with bulky bodies and large batteries. Both users and analysts expect that this trend will no longer exist next year.

The latest news about the Snapdragon 865 processor chip is that there will be two versions, with and without a 5G connection, like this year, but it is still not clear whether the 5G version is integrated with the modem chip system .

Recently, the source from Roland Quandt (accurate forecasting of technology information) only confirmed two models codenamed Kona and Hurracan, respectively “a 5G capable modem, a modem has an integrated 5G modem (SDX55) “.

The point is that both will support the latest generation of DDR5 mobile memory and the fastest UFS 3.0 storage standard that the OnePlus 7 Pro is offering. Samsung has announced that it is ready for mass production for LPDDR5 memory chips. Unfortunately, they have not been available on the Galaxy Note 10 that will be integrated on Galaxy S11 next year.

Samsung recently announced it is planning to integrate a 5G modem into the processor chip (most likely its Exynos chip), providing faster speeds than any chip on the market. Expected, this modem will appear in Galaxy S11 with another version running Snapdragon 865 chip.
