Google Home gets ability to set location-based reminders

Image
Google Home is getting yet another useful feature: location-based reminders. Yes, now you can ask your Home unit to remind you about something at, let's say, the supermarket you frequent, and it will make sure the Google Assistant on your phone does that when you are at the location. Yup, we've all been there. Try saying, "Hey Google, set a reminder to pick up more coffee at the grocery store" and your Google Assistant will remind you on your phone. pic.twitter.com/IkLjV4I2zd— Made by Google (@madebygoogle) March 14, 2018 The feature has already started rolling out, as some users... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2tPQ1Fx via IFTTT

Google Assistant speaker and smart display from LG now available to pre-order

During CES 2018, a few OEMs announced their own Google Assistant-powered smart displays that would arrive later in the year to compete against Amazon's Echo Show and Echo Spot, two Amazon Alexa devices that offer visual feedback rather than audio-only. These smart displays have a homescreen with basic info. The display offers a very basic UI with controls like brightness, power, and a mute button accessed by swiping up from the bottom.

Spotify testing voice search within its app

Spotify has been testing a new feature on a small number of users - a new voice interface. This voice interface would allow you to open the Spotify app and hit a mic button which would prompt you to make a voice commant like "Play my discover weekly", or "listen to my workout playlist". Sure, you can already do this with Google Assistant by ending the command with "listen to ... on Spotify" but a native voice search function would allow make for a better experience tailored specifically for finding music, a playlist, a song, or discovering music.

Google Pixel 2's portrait mode is made open source

Image
There's no denying that the Google Pixel 2 has a really great camera. Although the camera UI does not offer manual controls, Google's HDR+ algorithm is really good at exposing most scenes very evenly. It can even do this fairly well in lower-lit conditions. HDR+ aside, Google made a Research Blog post about the Google Camera's portrait mode. The Google Pixel's portrait mode only needs a single camera lens, unlike many other OEMs that require a second camera to map out depth to synthesize the bokeh (blur) effect.

First software update is now rolling out to the Galaxy S9 and S9+ in the US

Image
Last week Samsung pushed out the first software update to the Galaxy S9 and S9+ units meant for Germany, and this contained the March security patches. Today the US-bound S9 and S9+ are starting to receive their first update as well, but in this case unfortunately the security patch level remains unchanged - February 1, 2018. The update does however come with stability improvements for the camera and the Face Unlock function, as you can see from the screenshot on the left. We assume there might be some other, unnamed bug fixes in there too. Since most S9 buyers will see this release... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2FAqaH7 via IFTTT

vivo can't help itself, lists the V9 early in India revealing all of its specs

Image
vivo's upcoming V9 has been the star of a few leaks so far, the biggest of which came yesterday. Now vivo itself apparently wants in on the leaking game, since it's managed to list the V9 on its website for India, complete with new press renders (though rather low-resolution) and a full list of specs. The V9 is apparently powered by the Snapdragon 626 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of expandable storage (and there's a triple slot inside so you can even use two SIMs and a microSD card all at once). It's also got a 19:9 6.3" notched IPS touchscreen with 2,280x1,080 resolution.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2FANswG via IFTTT

vivo X21 with under-display fingerprint sensor stops by Geekbench too

Image
vivo is going to unveil the X21 at an event in China on March 19, and now that we're only a few days away from that a prototype has been spotted in the Geekbench database. As usual, this reveals some of the phone's specs. Note that the device that was benchmarked is the UD version, as you can see from the screenshot, which means it will have an under-display fingerprint sensor. The vivo X20 Plus UD was the first smartphone in the world to employ this tech, and the X21 is probably going to be the successor to the smaller X20 that was released last October.

Huawei P20 goes to Geekbench running Android 8.1

Image
The Huawei P20 - code name Emily or EML-L29 - took its Kirin 970 chipset for a run in the Geekbench fields. The chip performed as expected and seeing Android 8.1 as the software version was a pleasant surprise. The Oreo will be topped with EMUI, of course, but Huawei has really made an effort to keep the software fresh recently. 4GB of RAM isn't ideal for a flagship (it matches the P20 Lite) but it's not a dealbreaker either.

Meizu E3 info leaks: specs to brag about at a modest price

Image
Details of the Meizu E3 have surfaced ahead of the scheduled March 21 unveiling. Not the best way to celebrate Meizu's 15th birthday, but we're not complaining. The E3 will join the 18:9 display movement with a 5.99" 1080+ screen. Its body is made of metal with a noticeable indent on the side - that would be the fingerprint reader. Around the back there's a 12MP + 20MP dual camera, which will allegedly use the Sony IMX363 image sensor used in the Zenfone 5z and (reportedly) in the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s.

Huawei P20 Lite goes on pre-order in Poland, ships on March 26

The Huawei P20 Lite was supposed to go official on March 27 along with its P20 and P20 Pro siblings but either there was a last minute change of plans or somewhat jumped the gun. The phone is now up for pre-order in Poland with shipments poised to begin on March 26. That's close to a week after it's China-bound Nova 3e counterpart becomes official. The Huawei P20 Lite costs 1,599.00 Polish Zloty (€380) and for that you're getting a 4GB+64GB Blue model and a Huawei Smart Scale as a gift.

The new Model B+ has a slightly faster 1.4GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 64-bit Broadcom BCM2873B0 processor that now also features better thermal management to run at sustained speeds for longer without throttling considerably.

First, there was an offer by Broadcom to acquire Qualcomm for $105 billion, followed by an improved one worth $121 billion. They were both denied, and later the San Diego upped its NXP acquisition bid that led to a lower offer of $117 billion. The discourteous dance was abruptly ended by a presidential order, followed by an official statement that Broadcom is officially terminating its offer.

We saw a photo of the Blue one a couple of days ago and another one a few days before that. There will be a Gold model too. While the video doesn't give any specs, TENAA spilled the beans already.

ALS: The disease that Stephen Hawking defied for decades

Image
British physicist Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous sufferers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the fatal neurological disease that paralysed his body but did nothing to curb his contribution to science. The rare condition normally claims the lives of those who have it within two to three years of diagnosis, making Hawking's five-decade fight to overcome the disease an extraordinary exception. The neurodegenerative condition attacks the motor nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, hampering their ability to communicate with muscles and control voluntary movements, leading to eventual paralysis. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FISH9z via Latest News

Fired by Trump over Twitter, Tillerson doesn't thank him

Hours after President Trump announced his firing over Twitter, outgoing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday left the former real estate entrepreneur off the list of people he praised and thanked in a brief speech about his accomplishments and the future of his department. Tillerson, looking and sounding defeated as he delivered an eight-minute farewell, said he was delegating his duties to Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, effective at the end of the day, and formally ending his own watch as the top U.S. diplomat at the end of the month. The former Exxon chief told reporters in the State Department briefing room that Trump had telephoned him from Air Force One a little after noon — some five hours after the president announced to the world that Tillerson was out, to be replaced by CIA director Mike Pompeo. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FRq79n via Latest News
