Samsung and Microsoft Expand Partnership And We’re All For it

In the world of technology bustling with innumerable and sometimes expendable additions, Samsung and Microsoft partnership is something we can all get behind.

In addition to the most anticipated and momentous unveiling of Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Samsung Unpacked 2019 event in Brooklyn witnessed several surprises. Having teamed up in the past as well, Samsung and Microsoft have yet again announced an expanded partnership that promises to provide professionals the best services and solutions by integrating both of the companies’ hardware and software.

This reunion between the two tech giants resulted in the introduction of Samsung’s flagship smartphones power-packed and pre-installed with the latest versions of Microsoft apps including OneDrive, OneNote, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Skype, coupled with DeX functionality. This partnership also promises pre-installation of “Your Phone” application that interfaces phones with Windows 10.

The highlight of the event was showcasing of Samsung Galaxy Note 10, the latest in our favorite phablet line. Let’s take a look at what’s new in detail and what the partnership between the two means:

The Perfect Model

The newly announced flagship Galaxy Note 10 is absolutely top of the line with its 6.1 inch infinity display with an edge to edge look. This ultra-slim and elegant design boasts a dynamic AMOLED display with a 2280×1080 resolution, 8GB RAM, 256 GB internal storage and 3500 mAh battery.

DeX on PC

Samsung DeX is a desktop-like interface that enables the users to get a full-fledged desktop experience with their Galaxy devices. Previously, phones needed to be plugged into a monitor to access the desktop OS but the latest version now allows you to transfer files between devices and use the same apps you use on your phone by plugging Galaxy Note 10 into a Windows 10 or a Mac computer via a USB connection.

Link to Windows

Another major improvement is “Your Phone” linking Note 10 to Windows 10 that enables users to sync photos, send messages, manage notifications and scroll through apps while being on their PC. On top of that, this feature is updated to allow Window users to also make and receive phone calls on their laptop.

Microsoft Apps Integration

Always keeping its users excited, Samsung has taken its smartphone experience up a notch with all the latest Microsoft apps optimised and integrated with the phones, and an update readily configured for the S-pen that will allow the users to interact with emails, contacts and calendars by merely hovering above the screen. The Microsoft apps as mentioned earlier will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. By the end of 2019, a new feature will also be introduced allowing the two-way sync of Outlook calendar and Samsung calendar making life easier for the professionals.

Outlook for Wearables

samsung, microsoft, tech, technology, pc, smartphones;

Samsung and Microsoft’s alliance guarantees the birth of innovative digital experiences to help businesses evolve. One such feature promoting this transformation will be a new Outlook design for wearable devices. Galaxy wearable users will be given a new Outlook design in future to check their inbox without even picking up their phones.

Galaxy Book S

A new Galaxy S book is also introduced which is an always-connected Windows 10 device that brings the smartphone experience to PC and makes sure you power through your day without a hiccup. The performance perfection of this ultra-portable design is ensured by a 7th Generation Intel Core i5 processor, dual Core 3.1GHz for the 12-inch model and an Intel Core m3 processor, dual-core 2.6GHz for the 10.6-inch model. Featuring Gigabit LTE connectivity, the new Snapdragon 8cx mobile computer platform, keyboard and S pen, Galaxy Book S is the highest-end Windows 10 laptop powered by ARM designed for you to get things done anywhere in the world. It is also the first one to be announced featuring the Snapdragon 8cx.

This collaboration will enable Samsung to integrate Windows 10 laptops with its popular smartphone apps. This will conversely result in an inclination of Windows users to purchase mobile phones since they will now have the new Windows 10 features. The cross-platform connectivity is a win-win situation for consumers who use devices and apps from both companies. From the looks of it, this reunion between Samsung and Microsoft brings everything together and would mean even bigger things in the future.

Best Official Certified Refurbs: ASUS & Lenovo Laptops

If you’re ever on the hunt for cheap electronics like laptops, you are going to be seeing the word “Refurbished” almost everywhere. Refurbished laptops are often identified as mere fault electronics, or simply customer returns who changed their mind upon receiving the device. Although that may be true to some extent, these laptops are professionally reverted back and retested so they can be used again. It is also noticeable that refurbished laptops are generally cheaper than brand new laptops.

Refurbished laptops can be anything from unwanted gifts to a thoroughly used laptop gone for repairing and available to buy again. Laptop brands like ASUS and Lenovo vigorously test their electronics so that it doesn’t have any defects upon next use.

Tech News

Trends from CES 2019

The start of a new year does not just initiate a new beginning for you, but it also brings you the evolution of technology that will certainly boggle your mind. Technology empowers us to improve our lifestyle and make a better future for us, so we can achieve more.

The Consumer Electronics Show of 2019, also known as CES 2019, gave us a pretty good glimpse of the future ahead. More than 4,400 companies exhibited their products there on an exhibiting hall of 2.7 million square feet. We think it may be safe to say that CES is defining the future of the human race.

The CES 2019 was held from 8 January to 12 January in Las Vegas. This year, in particular, was detailed more in terms of individual announcements by major companies, and several trends were defined in the CES, which defined where the technology industry is standing now and where it is directed. Here’s what we noticed.

Artificial Intelligence

CES, technology, electronics, gadgets, tech products, AI, AR, VR, tech trends, CES 2019, innovations, event

Probably the most used term on the CES this year was “AI” or Artificial Intelligence. The products showcased by the brands on the show were completely jaw-dropping, as explained by Gary Shapiro, CEO of Consumer Technology Association which runs CES.

“AI pervades the show. Almost every major company is showing AI and applications that are just truly jaw-dropping.”

The best things which made the “Jaws drop” on the show were the self-driving cars. Although these self-driving cars have been around CES for a while, this year took a bigger leap. Many people were lucky enough to take a ride in these self-driving cars as well.

Amazon Alexa Vs Google Home has been this year’s AI battle between the two companies Amazon and Google. Both of these manufacturers continued duking it out throughout the CES about the most customers that each of them had during the past few years. It has been a multi-year battle, which was once led by Amazon, then quickly matched by Google. Now it’s a cold war between the two companies.

The rest of the Artificial Intelligence in CES was more subtle and was centred around software and algorithms that make cameras, televisions and other gadgets better than before.

5G Coverage

CES, technology, electronics, gadgets, tech products, AI, AR, VR, tech trends, CES 2019, innovations, event

The shift from 4G to 5G may seem like just another improvement, but that’s not the case. Every mobile network has been working to make better connections between people. As 5G also stands as a better improvement of connections between people, it will initiate the connection of people with things.

At CES 2019, Qualcomm showed off its “beamforming” technology for increasing the 5G coverage. Moreover, we’ll also be seeing 5G Smartphones soon ahead!

8K

CES, technology, electronics, gadgets, tech products, AI, AR, VR, tech trends, CES 2019, innovations, event

(Source: Samsung Global)

CES has always been more inclined towards 8K, especially this year. Brands like Samsung are taking this trend towards the extreme. Although the human eye has a hard time differentiating higher resolutions than 4K, since the average screen size is drastically increasing every year, 8K is a must!

AR – Augmented Reality

CES, technology, electronics, gadgets, tech products, AI, AR, VR, tech trends, CES 2019, innovations, event

Augmented Reality has been around for a while in games like Pokemon GO. In CES 2019, augmented reality is changing from a B2B to a B2C product, and major companies are stepping in to make AR better. Lenovo exclusively showed off their new headsets, and a concept of smart mirrors have also been introduced which eliminates the need to change clothes to try on a different colour – the mirror will change the colour of your dress by itself. How fascinating is that!?

Resilient Technologies

CES, technology, electronics, gadgets, tech products, AI, AR, VR, tech trends, CES 2019, innovations, event

Cities without resilient technologies are very vulnerable, especially in the time of a disaster. The CES 2019 – Best of Innovation Award was won by Watergen, which can create water from the air. This innovation can prove to be helpful in the time of disaster, which requires no infrastructure apart from electricity making it convenient to be used by anyone in a time of need.

As the annual show comes to an end, it leaves us with nothing but a broad view of what’s coming in the future. Not only did we see self-driven cars and flashy gadgets, but also some very important announcements and awards given to companies making a difference in a time of need as well. Stay tuned on our blog to keep up to date – we can expect 2019 to be full of more surprises!

Future Of Smartphones In 2019

Smartphones have been getting insanely more powerful than ever before. The new generation is breaking all the previous performance benchmarks. They are on the par with many entry level laptops and with performance extremely optimised and being incredibly battery and user friendly. The screens are getting bigger by the day, the quality of display has improved drastically. Battery life has been constantly increasing with more capacity and faster charging speed. Phones themselves are becoming efficient in their usage of power. The large capacity battery makes sure that a full day is completed on a single charge. Cameras has been improving exponentially, gone are the days of point and shoot digital cameras. Smartphones are performing much better than those digital cameras. Some phones have camera quality comparable to previous generation DSLRs. The barrage of sensors that phones come with these days is astounding. Apart from the obvious fingerprint sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer and light sensor, phones now have heart rate monitors, steps counters, barometer, iris scanner, IR blaster and lots of others features!

Things You Need To Know

Smartphones are getting lighter; making them extremely portable even with the increasing battery life and screen size.
They are becoming much more reliable and durable with IP rating certifications and other cool technology used to safeguard the phone.
Its longevity has improved. Phones are now incredibly reliable due to construction and the materials used in producing them.
Disappearing bezels makes the phones more aesthetically pleasing to look at. But it also makes more use of the phone body for screen.

Features Of Smartphones

Security

In the earlier stages of smartphones, we have used the 4-digit pin or pattern password, now things are moved far way. We now have fingerprint scanner, iris scanner, face ID, in-display fingerprint scanner and lots more.
