Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Leak Reveals Awesome New Look

Galaxy Note 7

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 – Doing Away with Fingerprint Sensor


According to new leaks, Samsung has been organizing the launch of its most influential mobile device. Some official looking extracts of the Galaxy Note 7 had been revealed overnight by notorious smartphone tipster,Evan Blass on Twitter displaying the device in more details. The image portrayed a seemingly polished looking device which has a strong similarity to the latest Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7 that had been released in March last.

 But the rear panel seems to be imprinted with the words `Galaxy Note 7’ outwardly showing that it is a new device. The Note 7 is anticipated to get a curved OLED display measuring 5.8ins imitating the screen on the Galaxy S7 Edge and if the images leaked seemed to be right, Samsung’s flagship design sign would be standard on the next Note.

The Galaxy Note 7 would also be doing away with fingerprint scanner and replacing it with an iris scanner which tends to look into your eyes for unlocking the phone. This could be a courageous decision since most of the other flagship smartphone or phablet tend to use fingerprint scanner though could work on a super-sized device such as the Note 7.

Incredible New Translation Features


The scanner would also provide access to protected app, folders, files as well as documents. Other disclosure from the Indian tech site iGyann.in states that the Galaxy Note 7 would be coming with some incredible new translation features.

The new Dictionary and Speaking services enables user to translate words quickly form one language to another and eventually introduce consistent text to speech functionality. Android smartphones all over are set to receive a leading improvement due to the release of the next generation of software. Presently Google is working on the launch of Android Nougat, which is the latest edition of the mobile platform, set to be released later in the year.

Among the new features, we have an improved battery life together with power performance owing to the new Doze feature that enables to put the device in a low power mode when it senses that the phone is not moving.Android phones would now be supporting split-screen apps and hence two apps would now be capable of running side by side or one above the other like the prevailing iOS feature of Apple.

Improved Support for Virtual Reality Games/Apps


Moreover, included in the latest release is an improved support for virtual reality games and apps, connecting to new Daydream VR headset of Google, together with a new night mode that will reduce on harmful light while utilising the phone at night.Google has also been tweaked on how Android devices tend to manage notifications since the new Direct Reply feature enables users to respond swiftly to text messages or update task list right within the notification interface.

Developers could bundle in notification together so that all the text messages, calendar reminders, Facebook prompts can be taken together when one drags down the notification shade. App would also take less time in installing with the latest release and the predictive keyboard of Google would also get enhanced with a strip of new themes, the capability of adding or removing borders surrounding individual keys as well as setting a custom photo as a backdrop.

Review: Nikon D500

Nikon D500

The Nikon D500 – Autofocus System


The Nikon D500, a 21MP APS-C DSLR has the potential of shooting at around 10 frames per second and comprises of an autofocus system which comes from the one in the D5. It means that it is precisely the type of high end DX setup body which seems to become wiped out with the D300S.

Since the launch of the D300S of six and a half years, the camera market has progressed considerably though the D500 seems to have reclaimed the position as one of the distinguished APS-C camera in the market.

Much of the enhanced proficiency of the camera focuses around sports and high speed shooting together with substantial renovations to the shooting rate as well as autofocus system. However, there are some main advancement to the viewfinder, video skills and the connectivity choices that seem to extend its utility further than one particular niche. The following are the key features:

  • 20.7 MP APS-C – DX format sensor 
  • 153 point AF module with 99 cross type points 
  • AF point joystick • 180,000 pixel RGB sensor for metering and subject recognition 
  • 10 fps shooting up to 200 shots 
  • 4K (UHD) video from 1.5x crop of sensor • 100% coverage viewfinder with 1.0x magnification 
  • 2.36M-dot tilting touchscreen display 
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity with NFC for setup 
  • Mic and headphone sockets 
  • USB 3.0 connector 
  • For working under artificial lighting, an anti-flicker option

Capability of Focusing & Shooting Quickly


Most of the competency of D500 is built on the capability of focusing and shooting very quickly and its 153 point AF module provides a near full width coverage which is connected to a 180,000 pixel RGB metering sensor to enhance further its AF tracking skills.

The AF system of D500 like the D5 now provides two parameters for fine tuning the autofocus tracking performance, enabling the user to identifythe kind of subject movement as well as the precise response to another object obstructing the targeted subject.

The D500 has a 3.2 inch 2,359,000 dot screen which is touch sensitive. Prevailing Nikon enables you to only specify duration, directing Nikon is attempting to extend the range of shooting condition for which the AF system could be improved.

Existence of SnapBridge Technology


Another feature which differentiates the D500 from the D5 is the existence of the SnapBridge technology of Nikon that enables the camera to always remain connected to a smart device, over a low-power Bluetooth connection or through Wi-Fi.

This could mean that after the main connection has been done, images can be transmitted automatically to the phone whenever it is shot and they can be ready to be shared through the internet when you tend to pick up your phone.

 As suitable as a camera, it is intended for professionals and serious supporters, wherein the D500 tends to have two card slots, one which accepts SD type media and the other is for the faster XQD cards. Though they have been around for a long time, the XQD cards are not conventional yet with most of the cameras only accepting SD-type media but this could be changed.

Third Party Keyboards Give Mobile Users More Options

Keyboard

Third Party Keyboard App from Apple’s Opponent


Before the arrival of the iPhone in 2007, no one believed that typing on touch-screen keyboards would be a good notion and thereafter users have become proficient at tapping on the glass of phones and tablets. Whereas the built-in keyboards from Apple are concerned, Google together with the other device makers seems to be much better than they used to be and are not the only choices available. One of the third party keyboard apps comes from Apple’s opponent, Google for Apple devices.

 The latest Gboard app functions just like any type of touch-screen keyboard and have a fresh and simple design which does not cause any distraction while you tap away. Moreover it also provides all the normal punctuation and emoji through evident controls and also seems decent appearing lightly identical to Apple’s keyboard. However, Gboard tends to have some good additions.

The space bar tends to double as a track pad enabling the user to scroll the cursor around in the text which has been already typed. Besides this, Google has also incorporated direct search features in the keyboard.

Gboard–Choice of Glide-Type/Swipe between Successive Letters


When you hit the Google button while typing a message, you tend to type in a search box. All the search results of Google then become accessible ready to be copied and pasted in the text which tends to get useful while checking up a word definition, checking street address or locating a GIF or a YouTube video. One could also search for emoji which tends to save the trouble in locating them manually.

Gboard also provides the choice to glide-type, swiping between successive letters rather than tapping on the screen and several of the features of the apps are customizable through settings. If the user tends to get anxious that Google would log what you type, Google states that it will not record the messages, whether a love letter or reveries on the latest news or gossip. Gboard is said to be open to all.While Gboard seems to be good, SwiftKey, a third party keyboard app deals with one of the greatest issue with typing on a touch screen. SwiftKey tends to auto corrects the mistakes.

SwiftKey Utilises Artificial Intelligence – Writing Style


SwiftKey utilises artificial intelligence to learn the writing style over a period of time, building an understanding of the words you seem to use. Hence while typing a long message, the app generally does a good job of correcting errors made since it can guess the word intended to be used. SwiftKey also recommends the words one may prefer to type next so they can be entered with a single keystroke. It could also learn your slang as well as emoji habits.

The app also tends to do a good job in detecting the language used, automatically switching its correction of error even if you have switched languages midway of the message. If SwiftKey does not tend to polish your typing skills, then there is Fleksy a same third-party keyboard app which is free for iOS as well as Androidthat has several of the same features. The keyboard layout of Fleksy is customizable with regards to size and colour and the app is said to be good at auto correcting errors.

Has the LHC discovered a new particle?

LHC

Large Haldron Collider – Found New Particle


Cern’s group of Large Haldron Collider – LHC in Switzerland have found a new particle and in its first set of substantial effects since its upgrade last year, LHC researchers have noticed large spikes in energy which could be the consequence of particle impacts among new boson even larger than the Higgs. Physicists had been working hard crunching data gathered by the most powerful particle accelerator of the world which is presently functioning at unprecedented levels of energy as well as intensity.

Their attempts may not be without success since there has been a lot of excitement in the hallways and offices at Cern in Geneva on the so-called `bump’ in the data from the particle smashes of LHC. The LHC tends to crash two beams of proton particles together about 100m below the French Swiss border and scientists thereafter search the debris of these crashes for clues of the earlier undiscovered particles.

Out of trillions of similar collisions last year, scientists had identified more photon– light particles that were produced than estimated, regarding the said bump. More specifically, they perceived an excess of photon pairs with a shared mass of 750 Gigaelectronvolts- GeV.

Facts of LHC


This could be the revealing sign of a new heavy particle which is about six times more enormous than the famed Higgs boson which was discovered in 2012 at Cern. A new particle’s discovery would be very exhilarating as the widely accepted theory of particle physics – the Standard Model could not explain everything observed regarding the world that surrounds us. Facts of LHC are:

  • The Large Hadron Collider is a particle accelerator which tends to push two particle beams near the speed of light and crashes them together in order that scientists can check for signs of new physics phenomena in the debris 
  • Over 1,200 `dipole’ magnets are arranged end-to-end in a long 27km circular tunnel 100m beneath the French-Swiss border near Geneva 
  • The magnets steer the beam of any proton particle or lead ions around the ring of the LHC and allotted points surrounding the tunnel, the beams cross, enabling collisions to occur. 
  • The experiments which tend to analyse these collision, generate over 10 million gigabytes of data each year.

Statistical fluctuations Anticipated


Since the LHC first went online back in September 2008, signals have come and gone. Such types of statistical fluctuations are anticipated and the bumps generally get levelled out with the count of extra data. Prof Stefan Soldner-Rembold, head of particle physics at the University of Manchester explained that more data is needed to ensure that the signal does not go away, till then they need to be careful.

The reason people are excited about the bump is that both experiments, Atlas and CMS saw a suggestion in approximately the same place, but this is not completely unlikely. Gold standard for demanding a discovery in particle physics is said to be a statistical threshold call five sigma. This tends to corresponds to a chance of one in 3.5 million that the observed signal is a chance occurrence and unevenly the same chance as tossing a coin and getting 21 or 22 heads in succession.
