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.

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.

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.
