Ford Explorer is upgraded with a range of luxury amenities (part 1)

Ford Explorer has gradually become the top choice in the luxury 7-seater SUV segment. The current version of Explorer owns many necessary upgrades to maintain the attraction of customers. Those are improvements in interior and exterior to bring more comfortable and luxurious experience.

In terms of exteriors, the new version of Ford Explorer has a new pair of headlights including LED-type near-illuminated lamps as standard equipment. Clamping between the pair of headlamps is a more compact grille than before with more modern meshes. The final highlight on the front of the car is a pair of LED fog lamps with a sleeker and more modern design than the previous C-type lamps.

The body part did not change much from the previous version. The car has a square design and looks great with straight lines throughout the body. This type of design is reminiscent of expensive Range Rover. The most obvious change in the body is the 20-inch wheels that are more luxurious than the old one. Similarly, the tail retains a square design with a bold American feel.

Entering the cabin, Ford applied a scientific, practical but equally luxurious layout to Explorer with decorative details as well as premium leather and wood materials. The space in 3 rows of seats is very wide for all 7 people with a height of 1m65 – 1m7 with full air-conditioning doors for the position on the car. All seating positions are leather-covered, legroom and the ceiling space is reasonably allocated for seven passengers. The top electric seats, inflatable backrests, and even three-level massage capability.

The dashboard area is shaped symmetrically and seamlessly, the modern center console with 8-inch touch screen runs Sync 3. The occupants can activate seat cooling/heating features for the driver’s seat and passenger seat next to them. The standard infotainment system from Ford is almost perfect with high-end Sony audio systems, DVD players, exclusive SYNC®3 systems with voice control capability, plus USB connection/Bluetooth and SD memory card.

Boeing officially applies ecoDemonstrator, a new range of technologies

The program is designed to test new initiatives to improve safety, sustainability and enhance the passenger experience.

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has said it will carry out the latest test flight series to evaluate new technologies designed to address the challenges that aircraft operators and passengers are facing from improving safety and sustainability to improving flight experience.

“This is the latest series of tests that are part of our ecoDemonstrator program. In this program, we look at ways to help crew and passengers get a better flight experience and how to use technology to make flights safer, more efficient and more enjoyable. Using Boeing 777 to fly test allows us to capture faster and thereby offer solutions that improve much faster with greater accuracy in determining their value, ”said Mike. Sinnett, Executive Vice President of the Future Aircraft Product and Development Strategy, belongs to Boeing’s Commercial Aircraft division.

The technologies tested in this year’s ecoDemonstrator program include: Sharing digital information between the air traffic control station, the cockpit and the airline’s operating center to optimize efficiency and safety in the introduction of flight routes; Application of electronic flight documents using new generation communication techniques to automatically provide pilots with rerout routes information when weather conditions are guaranteed.

The connection technology in the passenger compartment helps the kitchen and bathroom become smart, while monitoring the conditions in the passenger compartment such as temperature, humidity to automatically make appropriate adjustments; Cameras help passengers observe the landscape outside the plane.

Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator program was included in the first aerial test in 2012. The five aircraft – 737-800, 787-8 Dreamliner, 757, Embraer E170 and 777 Freighter – have already tested 112 technologies since then until 2018.

More than one third of the technology has been put into practice by Boeing or its partners. Nearly half were maintained for improvement, and testing on the remaining projects was halted after completing the research process.

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.

Huawei believes that it will lead the smartphone market next year

In a recent interview, Yu Chengdong, Huawei’s CEO, said the company had planned a business development strategy in the past two years. He believes that next year Huawei will rise to the top in the smartphone market.

According to sources, Huawei has invested more than $ 5 billion in R&D (Research and Development) and hopes that the company will take the top position next year. Besides, the company also aims to achieve sales revenue in 2023 of 150 billion USD.

Yu Chengdong said Huawei is surpassing Apple and Samsung in many developed countries to become the leader in the smartphone market. He said that in the Chinese market, one out of every three smartphones will be Huawei. Expected this year, if there are two smartphones sold, one will be Huawei.

He added that this year (2019) is called the first year of 5G network technology. It is still under construction and will be more complete next year. Therefore, this year’s revenue is still based on 4G smartphones. Huawei is also one of the few companies capable of designing 5G chips, typically earlier this year Huawei released a Baron 5000 chip.

On some recent articles, Apple also wants Huawei to produce 5G chips for them and received “nod” from Yu Chengdong. However, Huawei’s CEO stresses that the US government is currently making it difficult for Huawei, so if Apple wants to get Huawei’s 5G chip, it will have to face big obstacles.

Huawei confirmed that Huawei Mate 20 X will have a 5G version and it will be released later this year. However, the company did not disclose changes in the new version. Accordingly, the 5G version will continue to retain the 7.2 inch screen but it will have significantly smaller capacity battery, only 4,200 mAh, compared to 5,000 mAh on the standard Mate 20 X version. The good news is that the 5G version will come with Huawei’s SuperCharge 40W fast charging technology.
