Samsung is investing $116 billion in logic chip R&D and production through 2030

Image
Early last year Samsung became the world's largest chip manufacturer (taking the crown from Intel) largely thanks to the strong performance of its memory division. Today the company announced plans to invest $116 billion through 2030 in non-memory chips. This will help reduce its reliance on the memory segment (which didn't do so hot last quarter). More than half of the money will go towards R&D, creating 15,000 jobs. The rest will go to building the infrastructure. Samsung System LSI, which develops Exynos chips and modems, ISOCELL sensors and more, along with Samsung Foundry (which... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2IR8FTu via IFTTT

Oppo Reno hands-on review - the non-10x zoom version

Image
We're in Zurich for the global announcement of the Oppo Reno lineup and we got to spend some quality time with the fully tricked out Reno 10x zoom. After that proper flagship, we also got the opportunity to briefly play around with the regular Reno. The differences in hardware aren't minor and the vanilla Reno comes with the mid-tier Snapdragon 710 instead of the 10x zoom's 855. There's also no periscope telephoto camera on its back and the ultra wide module didn't make the cut either. The main cam does use the same 48MP Sony sensor as the flagship, but the lens isn't stabilized... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2UR0zl7 via IFTTT

Google Maps adds real-time availability of EV chargers in the US and UK

Image
Google has just made life easier for electric car users thanks to its latest update in Google Maps. Now EV drivers can enjoy live updated information on charger availability in the US and UK so they don't have to spend time waiting for their next top up. A simple "ev charging stations" search query will bring out the nearest charger and show availability information. According to Google, users will be able to see details such as port types, charging speeds and availability alongside photos, ratings, and reviews from other drivers. Google said it partnered with Chargemaster, EVgo,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2GDDlGd via IFTTT

iFixit tears down Galaxy Fold, finds it fatally fragile and suggests what may be wrong with it

Image
Despite Samsung's recalls, tear down specialists iFixit have managed to get their hands on the Galaxy Fold and open it up a lot more than it already does. While it's best to read the tear down in its entirety, here are some of the talking points raised by the article: One of the areas for concern are the gaps all around the phone. While we already know the Galaxy Fold is not ingress protected, the gaps are rather large around the hinge and may potentially be a location for small particles to get stuck and jam the mechanism or even damage the display. The phone has two batteries,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2GA5XPB via IFTTT

OnePlus 7 Pro prices will start at around €700

Image
This year OnePlus will go for a multi-tier strategy and will launch the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro. The Pro model will offer numerous upgrades over the vanilla model and it will be pricey (by OnePlus standards). Rumor has it that the OnePlus 7 Pro with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage will cost €750 while the top-specced 12/256GB model will be €820. The price for the base 6/128GB memory option is unknown, but should be around €700. Note that there might be small differences between EU countries. For US pricing, there's a very good chance that you just swap the € sign for a $, meaning... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2UBJN4j via IFTTT

EE will test its 5G network at the Glastonbury festival

Image
The Glastonbury Festival is coming up soon (June 26-30) and EE will use it as a testing ground for its 5G network. It will erect temporary 5G antennas and make it the UK's "first 5G-connected festival". Glastonbury is expected to attract a record 200,000 people who will use up a whopping 70TB of data. There's a stumbling block, however - almost no one will have a 5G-capable phone. But 5G enthusiasts will have options. EE is a launch partner for the Oppo Reno 5G, which will be available staring from May at €900 (around £780). That will most likely be Europe's first 5G phone.

UK to allow Huawei "limited" access in non-core 5G components

Image
In a slight turn of events, the British National Security Council (NHC) has decided to grant Huawei the right to help build up "non-core" 5G infrastructure. The decision comes at a time when multiple countries around the world have banned Huawei from supplying 5G network equipment. According to the Daily Telegraph, Prime Minister Theresa May, who heads the NHC made her decision despite expressed caution from several senior ministers as well as warnings from the US. The move would allow Huawei to supply 5G base stations and transmission equipment in the UK but not much more. The company... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2Dv8Yjq via IFTTT

Oppo Reno and Reno 10x zoom go global, Reno 5G joins them

Image
The Oppo Reno and Reno 10x zoom will make their debut in Europe soon. They are the same phones that were unveiled in China a couple of weeks ago (and the vanilla Reno is already on sale there). As a quick recap, Oppo Reno 10x zoom features a notch-less 6.6" OLED screen thanks to a unique shark fin pop-up (16MP selfie cam). The phone's best feature (and reason for its name) is the periscope zoom lens on the back, which joins the wide and ultra-wide cameras. Both the periscope and the wide camera have OIS.

This is the first image of Inshaf Ahamed Ibrahim, the Sri Lankan suicide bomber and alleged mastermind of the atrocity which killed 359 people. Ibrahim, 33, blew himself up at the Shangri-La Hotel at just before 9am local time in a third-floor restaurant.

China warned Tuesday that the US decision to impose sanctions on buyers of Iranian oil will "intensify turmoil" in the Middle East and in the international energy market. The White House announced Monday it was calling an end to six-month waivers that had exempted several countries -- including major importer China -- from unilateral US sanctions on Iranian oil exports.

It’s Early, but Kamala Harris Isn’t Betting on New Hampshire

Image
GettyMANCHESTER, New Hampshire—Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and New Hampshire Democratic primary voters seem to be in the same boat with each other: They might not be each other’s first choice, but they’re at least checking the requisite boxes just in case.Granite State voters—who relish their many opportunities to hear from presidential candidates directly—are being courted by almost two dozen of them, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who won the New Hampshire primary in 2016 and owns a commanding share of support here, according to several recent polls.Meanwhile, of the top-tier candidates, Harris so far seems to have her sights set furthest beyond the first-in-the-nation primary state. Of course, it’s still early into the Democratic presidential primary; one high-polling candidate, Joe Biden, is only just kicking off his campaign this week. But since kicking off her bid in February, Harris has been a far more frequent presence in other early primary states, notably South Carolina,

Far-right militia which 'trained to kill Obama and Hillary Clinton' remains defiant on US-Mexico border

Image
Their commander is in jail. The authorities are giving them until Friday to clear out and leave. But the United Constitutional Patriots, the right-wing militia under scrutiny over detaining migrant families at the border with Mexico, is digging in.“It’s my God-given right to be here,” said one balaclava-clad militia member who gave his name only as Viper. Chafing at the hostile reactions to the militia’s actions, he said that he was an Army veteran and that he expected his group, if pushed out, to set up camp in another location along the border.“The guys in Washington say one thing about not wanting us on the ground, but no one from the Border Patrol here has ever told me they don’t want our help,” he said, squinting under the midday sun. “We’re here to protect Americans from the illegals violating our sovereignty.”The militia’s encampment Tuesday was little more than a trailer and a few pickup trucks next to a newly installed “No Trespassing” sign. It appeared to reflect the impasse

NRPLUS Conference Call with Rich Lowry and Victor Davis Hanson

Yesterday morning, NR editor in chief Rich Lowry spoke with author and historian Victor Davis Hanson to members of the NRPLUS group on a private conference call. The pair discussed the Mueller report, Victor's decision to support Trump, and Victor's life on a farm in Fresno, Calif.Rich and Victor started the call by discussing the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on President Donald Trump's alleged collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice. Victor described the report as a reflection of Mueller's team, who he says were all non-Republicans tasked with the job of finding evidence of collusion regardless of whether collusion was present. Indeed, the first volume didn't suggest any evidence was found. But by packing everything damning of Trump into Volume II, the team managed to accomplish the job the Left wanted them to accomplish.Victor says that impeachment isn't likely, as long as the economy remains strong and the United States does

Samsung’s Galaxy Fold might already have a new release date – and that’s awful news

Image
Samsung's Galaxy Fold launch is now nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. Who could have seen this coming... 7 months ago? The last thing a company wants to do when it's about to release a first-of-its-kind product is give consumers any doubt that it's a high-quality product. Well, Samsung went far beyond giving consumers a bit of doubt -- it showed us in the clearest possible light that the Galaxy Fold is a piece of junk. We have now lost count of how many Galaxy Fold review units broke shortly after being sent to bloggers to review, but suffice it to say the figure is painfully high. It was so high, in fact, that Samsung decided to cancel the phone's release this Friday so it can investigate the issues that have been causing the Galaxy Fold's display to break. That's right, we said "issues," as in plural. It's not just one problem that has been causing the screens to malfunction, it's several.The biggest problem appears to be the fact tha

Image
Donald Trump has praised Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter over comments she made last week about the Department of Veterans Affairs — while simultaneously undermining her stance on the issue of privatising health care for US veterans. The president claimed the agency “is doing great” thanks to his administration in a tweet, seemingly undermining the fundamental point the 29-year-old lawmaker was making during a town hall event in New York. Mr Trump supported at least a portion of the congresswoman’s statements surrounding veterans’ health care in America, writing Wednesday, “Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is correct, the VA is not broken, it is doing great. But that is only because of the Trump administration.” Ms Ocasio-Cortez was speaking out against efforts by the Republican Party to privatise the VA — the second largest federal department following Defence — when she said at a town hall event in New York, “When it comes to the VA, all I can think of is that classic refrain that m

See this Aircraft Carrier? It Was One of the Worst To Ever Set Sail.

Image
On September 15th, 1942 USS Wasp was struck by three torpedoes from the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-19. Wasp at first though survivable and was even able to remain under her own power, but gasoline fires swept through the ship and made her recovery impossible. After five hours the order was given to abandon ship, and Wasp was scuttled by three torpedoes fired by the destroyer USS Lansdowne. Of the ship’s 2,247 crew, 193 were killed and 366 wounded.(This first appeared last month.)The U.S. Navy rose to prominence during World War II from just one of many major naval powers to the undisputed greatest in just four short years. This was in large part due to the expansion and effective use of its aircraft carrier fleet. Although most American flattops that fought in the war were highly successful designs one, USS Wasp, was fatally compromised by the need to conform to international treaty obligations.
