❤ The Galaxy S23 will be the first device to use Gorilla Glass Victus 2

Gorilla Glass has been the go-to for most device manufacturers – and for good reason. Corning’s latest release – Gorilla Glass Victus 2 – is set to be used on the Galaxy S23 series, giving the device significant added protection.

The Gorilla Glass Victus lineup is known for the protection it adds to phone displays. Corning’s Gorilla Glass is highly shatter resistant and provides a decent amount of scratch protection, all while allowing the device’s display to shine through.

In November 2022, Corning released Gorilla Glass Victus 2 with improvements to drop protection when against materials like concrete, which can make for a very aggressive impact. Another added benefit is the environmental benefits, with Corning claiming that Victus 2 contains an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content.

Today, the company announced that its latest Gorilla Glass Victus 2 will find its first home in the “next generation of Galaxy smartphones.” While Corning hasn’t explicitly named the Galaxy S23 series from Samsung, specifics can be inferred. Of course, the Galaxy S23 is part of Samsung’s highest line of devices. With that, users expect some of the best materials available on the market. With Gorilla Glass Victus 2, we’re expecting to see an improvement in shatter resistance and overall durability.

 

Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 Plays Key Role in the Design of Samsung Electronics’ Next Galaxy Flagship Smartphones

Samsung’s next Galaxy flagship smartphones will be the first to use Corning’s latest generation of Gorilla Glass, which delivers improved drop performance on rough surfaces like concrete

CORNING, N.Y., January 26, 2023 — Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced that Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. will use Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 as part of their next generation of Galaxy flagship smartphones. Gorilla Glass Victus 2’s new glass composition delivers improved drop performance on rough surfaces like concrete, while preserving the scratch resistance of Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®.

“Today’s consumers expect damage-resistant smartphone displays,” said David Velasquez, vice president and general manager, Gorilla Glass. “For more than a decade, Gorilla Glass has met the needs of smartphone users, setting the standard for tough cover materials. We are proud to continue our long partnership with Samsung and have our latest innovations play a vital role in Samsung’s newest Galaxy smartphones.”

“We’re committed to integrating sustainability throughout our product lifecycle, working with like-minded partners such as Corning to improve performance while reducing our environmental impact,” said Stephanie Choi, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Mobile eXperience Business, Samsung Electronics. “Our next generation of Galaxy flagship smartphones are the first devices to use Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, offering better durability and improved sustainability at the same time.”

Gorilla Glass Victus 2 launched in November 2022. By better surviving drops on rough surfaces like concrete, the world’s most abundant engineered material, it redefines tough for consumers and OEMs. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 puts a focus on the environment and has achieved an Environmental Claim Validation for containing an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content, as validated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). (Products bearing the UL Environmental Claim Validation Mark undergo routine audits and testing to retain their status.)

Gorilla Glass has been designed into more than eight billion devices by more than 45 major brands. With Gorilla Glass Victus 2, Corning’s Mobile Consumer Electronics business continues a legacy of innovation that includes market-leading cover glasses as well as glass and optics for semiconductor products, which enhance performance, deliver new connectivity features, and support immersive user experiences with augmented reality and 3D sensing.

While Victus 2 has appeared in Galaxy S23 rumors, this news comes as an official announcement from the company. With that, the Galaxy S23 is supposed to come with overall minimal design changes when compared to the S22 series. Fortunately, Samsung has chosen not to increase the price of the S series from the past generation to the current in the US. Though the event is less than a week away, users can still submit a reservation to get access to the S23 series before the general public.

The best places to get your iPhone screen replaced

When your iPhone screen gets cracked, it can be really frustrating. Not only is it difficult to use your phone, but it also decreases its resale value. If you’re looking for somewhere to get your screen replaced, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll discuss the best places to get your iPhone screen replaced.

Apple Stores

If you have an iPhone, the best place to get your screen replaced is at an Apple Store. Apple Stores have trained technicians who know exactly how to fix your phone. They also use high-quality parts, so you can be sure that your phone will be as good as new after the repair.

There are a few downsides to getting your screen replaced at an Apple Store. First of all, it can be expensive. Apple charges $279 for an iPhone 6 screen replacement, and the price goes up from there. If you have AppleCare+, you may be able to get a discount.

Another downside is that you’ll have to leave your phone at the Apple Store for a few days. This can be inconvenient if you rely on your phone for work or other important tasks.

If you’re looking for a high-quality screen replacement and you don’t mind paying a bit more, an Apple Store is the best place for you.

Third-Party Stores

If you want to save some money, you can get your screen replaced at a third-party store. These stores typically charge around $100 for an iPhone 6 screen replacement, which is a lot less than what Apple charges.

There are a few things to keep in mind if you choose to go to a third-party store. First of all, the quality of the parts may not be as high as what you’d get at an Apple Store. This means that your phone may not look or feel exactly the same as it did before.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the repair may not be done as well as it would be at an Apple Store. This is because the technicians at these stores are not as highly trained as the technicians at Apple Stores.

If you’re looking to save money and you don’t mind sacrificing some quality, a third-party store is a good option for you.

Local Repair Shops

If you want to get your screen replaced but you don’t want to go to an Apple Store or a third-party store, you can always go to a local repair shop. These shops typically charge around $100 for an iPhone 6 screen replacement, which is the same as what you’d pay at a third-party store.

The downside to going to a local repair shop is that the quality of the parts and the repair may not be as good as what you’d get at an Apple Store or a third-party store. This is because the technicians at these shops are not as highly trained as the technicians at Apple Stores or third-party stores.

If you’re looking to save money and you don’t mind sacrificing some quality, a local repair shop is a good option for you.

Do-It-Yourself

If you’re feeling brave, you can always try to replace your screen yourself. There are a few things to keep in mind if you choose to do this. First of all, it’s important to use high-quality parts. If you use low-quality parts, your phone may not look or feel the same as it did before.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the repair may not be done as well as it would be if you went to an Apple Store or a third-party store. This is because you’re not as highly trained as the technicians at these stores.

If you’re looking to save money and you don’t mind sacrificing some quality, replacing your screen yourself is a good option for you.

Conclusion

If your iPhone screen is cracked, you have a few different options for getting it replaced. You can go to an Apple Store, a third-party store, a local repair shop, or you can try to replace it yourself.

Which option you choose depends on a few different factors. First of all, you need to decide how much you’re willing to spend. Apple Stores are the most expensive option, followed by third-party stores, local repair shops, and finally, do-it-yourself.

Second, you need to decide how important quality is to you. If you want your phone to look and feel exactly the same as it did before, you should go to an Apple Store. If you don’t mind sacrificing some quality, you can go to a third-party store, a local repair shop, or you can try to replace it yourself.

Third, you need to decide how important convenience is to you. If you need your phone for work or other important tasks, you should go to an Apple Store. If you don’t mind leaving your phone at the store for a few days, you can go to a third-party store or a local repair shop. If you want to be able to use your phone right away, you can try to replace it yourself.

No matter which option you choose, we hope that your screen is replaced quickly and easily.

❤ Official-looking Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 renders appear ahead of Unpacked 2022

Galaxy Expert , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

 

With Unpacked 2022 only a couple of weeks away, we already have a pretty good idea of what the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 will look like, both inside and out. To put any doubts aside, new official renders have appeared online, showcasing four attractive colorways.

Over the past couple of months, we’ve already seen just about anything there is to see with the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4. Generally unchanged from the previous model, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is set to come in four colorways – black, blue, cream, and purple.

According to Giznext, these colorways are likely to be officially named Graphite, Pink Gold, Bora Purple, and Blue. In an exclusive leak, the site was given official press renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 via @onleaks (Steve Hemmerstoffer). The images show off each color and several different angles, giving us a great look at each of them

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the majority of details look virtually identical to the Galaxy Z Flip 3, there are a couple of small differences. First, the hinge seems to have a tighter tolerance when the device is fully open. To add, the rear display and camera bar seems to stretch out almost entirely from side to side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the Galaxy Z Flip 3, it seemed as if the black screen and camera array sat off of the edges a little bit. The new design looks to unify the camera bar and rear of the device. Overall, the Flip 4 has a slightly cleaner look.

Aside from that, there isn’t much more to glean from these Galaxy Z Flip 4 renders until Unpacked 2022 gives us a much better look at the devices. We’re expecting the Galaxy Z Flip 4 to be priced roughly starting at €1,080 for the 8GB/128GB storage model.

Latest Galaxy Z Fold 4 leak pins down storage offerings, ‘Burgundy Red’ color option

 

 

 

 

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 is probably only a month away, and a fresh leak is giving us a better idea of what to expect from the storage, as well as revealing a “Burgundy Red” color option.

Evan Blass today posted a list of Galaxy Z Fold 4 variants that break down the color and storage offerings for Samsung’s upcoming phone.

This list confirms two things. Firstly, it seems the 1TB storage option we previously heard of may not be available after all. Blass’s list shows 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB versions of the Fold 4. It was previously rumored that a 1TB model would also be on the way, but this list implies that won’t be the case. Of course, it’s entirely possible this is a regional restriction – while Blass doesn’t mention it, it seems safe to assume this list is regarding the US market.

Beyond that, we also get a breakdown of the color options for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, including “Burgundy Red.”

This color option was previously mentioned by a display analyst, who claimed the color would be tough to purchase. It is noteworthy that this color option is available exclusively in the higher storage tiers, rather than the base 128GB.

The full breakdown of colors and storage options in Blass’ list can be seen below.

  • Beige – 128GB/256GB/512GB
  • Burgundy Red – 256GB/512GB
  • Gray-Green – 128GB/256GB/512GB
  • Phantom Black – 128GB/256GB/512GB

Samsung is rumored to be launching the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Flip 4, and its next Galaxy Watch sometime in mid-August.

 

 

 

 

 

 

❤ Apple Photos bug prevents precise latitude and longitude geotagging of images

Avatar photo

Galaxy Expert , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

 

Apple Photos users are reporting a bizarre issue related to geotagging. The issue, which 9to5Mac has confirmed, centers around manually editing the location of an image and using exact latitude and longitude coordinates.

A variety of threads focused on this bug have surfaced on Apple’s Support forums . When you try to manually edit an image via Apple Photos and set the location as a specific latitude and longitude, the location will automatically jump to the reverse-geocoded location.

Here’s a quick explanation courtesy of Wikipedia on reverse geocoding:

Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) to a human-readable address or place name. Reverse geocoding permits the identification of nearby street addresses, places, and/or areal subdivisions such as neighbourhoods, county, state, or country.

What this means is that when you enter the latitude and longitude into the Photos app, the Photos app will attempt to convert this into a suggested location that could in practice be far away from the actual latitude and longitude.

 

 

 

 

Other describe their experience with this bug:

Apple Photos geotagging doesn’t seem to work properly anymore since a few months.

When manually editing the location of an image and using exact GPS Coordinates (Lat, Lon) then these coordinates are not being set for the image but only a Reverse-Geocoded location which could / will be far from the original location.

Example: When I try to geotag a picture with Coordinates “36.6972,24.4707” (Airport in Milos, Greece), I can only pick one entry, but this one entry is completely wrong.

In this user’s specific example, the Photos app suggestion is for the Aegean Sea, far away from the intended airport. 9to5Mac has seen similar incorrect suggestions across locations in the United States and the UK.

The problem appears to be tied to Apple Maps. When you enter latitude and longitude details in Apple Maps, it will show a suggested location for those details. The Photos app seems to be pulling in the first suggestion from Apple Maps, which again, could be inaccurate.

Large corporation cannot circumvent coronavirus due to social distancing regulation for hygiene purpose.

Myer is closing for 4 weeks of time starting from 29th of March 2020.

10,000 team members of Myer from Monday will not be paid and will not be working. However, luckily, full and part time staff has advantage than others because their flexibility is greater since they can access annual leave and long service entitlements in addition to government assistance measures.

Myer has to have difficult decision to protect their staff members from working in the environment of getting threats by COVID-19. They are considering of offering members a temporarily service of ‘free counselling’ and online-only business to help members to maintain their family and their well-being.

How About using Hand sanitizer? 

Hand sanitizer is used in limited circumstances where people cannot wash their hands in toilet facility or have soap products for better cleaning effect. However, this does not mean, we could use hand sanitizer instead of washing hands.

 

 

Wait! Is the Pocophone F1 just hype? ✋

The Pocophone F1 is cheap and very powerful. When it comes to price per performance, this is the king of its class. However, there has to be something going on. You can’t make a powerful device with high end specifications with mid-range pricing.

Is the Pocophone F1 just all hype? Let’s take a look at the not so positive side of the phone and see if it still make you want to buy it. Is it a deal breaker for you or you can just ignore and get this well-hyped up smartphone from Xiaomi.

Plastic Build

When it comes to build quality, the Pocophone F1 is not the greatest. Sorry. If you see it for the first time, you would see a very traditional glass front. But holding it is a totally different story. You feel like it squeaks and breaks as you apply the slightest pressure on the side.

You can actually feel it.

It’s not horrid, but at a time when gorgeous sandwiches of metal and glass are commonplace, it feels old hat to hold a plasticky device in your hand, no matter how much the phone costs.

Looking on the bright side, the Pocophone F1’s silver-tinted chamfered edges add a dash of class, and the rounded corners and sides ensure that it fits comfortably in the palm. The rear-mounted circular fingerprint reader is easy to reach, too.

Not Water Resistant

Another downside, and most probably a price to pay for cutting down the price, is the Pocophone F1’s inability to survive splashes and submersion to water.

The Pocophone F1 isn’t certified for dust- or water-resistance, so you might want to avoid any bathroom or kitchen mishaps and using it out in the rain. Then again, the OnePlus 6T isn’t protected from the elements, either, and that phone costs a considerable chunk more.

No NFC

If you’re into the modern tech stuff which actually are being used today for your day to day routine, then you may be shocked to know that Near Field Communication is not available on the Pocophone F1.

The lack of NFC is a bigger problem. You won’t be able to use the Pocophone F1 for your contactless card payments via Google Pay, for instance, which is a bit of a pain if you’re used to tapping your phone on the Oyster card gates.

Weird Software Design

Okay, the most obvious to your eyes, the interface. It’s not the most glamorous version of Android but it’s got the latest version on the day of its release. Why should you care? Because it may just be annoying for you to use. Here’s why.

For starters, the app icons are particularly child-like, and I’m not a fan of how they look. The phone’s settings menu behaves a little differently, too, and finding particular settings is a lot trickier than the stock Android experience. I couldn’t figure out how to disable screen timeout, for instance, which proved particularly troublesome when testing the Pocophone’s display. App notifications don’t often show up at the top of the screen, either.

These are minor issues, of course, and can be remedied by installing a third-party launcher of your choosing when the phone arrives through your postbox. It doesn’t stop the Pocophone feeling that bit less slick than its competitors, though.

❤ How to Connect a Mac to Bluetooth Speaker

Avatar photo

Galaxy Expert , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A Mac can easily be connected to a Bluetooth speaker system, offering a convenient and wireless method of enjoying audio from the computer.

Using a Bluetooth speaker system on a Mac is quite simple, and the only real requirement is that the Mac has Bluetooth actively enabled, and the Speaker system is within range. Beyond that, MacOS is able to connect to virtually any Bluetooth speaker, whether it’s a fancier stereo or a simple portable speaker.

If you’ve never synced a Bluetooth device to a Mac before, or you’re new to connecting Bluetooth speakers to various devices, the walkthrough below should be helpful to you as it demonstrates the entire process of a Mac connecting to a Bluetooth speaker.

How to Connect Bluetooth Speaker to Mac

  • Turn on the Bluetooth speaker, and place it into discovery mode (typically a power button and/or Bluetooth icon button) if applicable
  • Pull down the  Apple menu and choose “System Preferences”
  • Select the “Bluetooth” preference panel
  • Turn Bluetooth on if it isn’t enabled already, then when you see the Bluetooth speaker show up in the Bluetooth devices list choose “Connect”
Connect to the Bluetooth speaker from Mac
  • Wait a moment and the Bluetooth speaker should connect, as indicated by the faint small “Connected” text
How you can tell if the Bluetooth speaker is connected to Mac

Once the Bluetooth speaker is connected to the Mac, adjust the volume on both the speaker and/or the Mac so they can be heard, and test out the sound. An easy way to test that audio is working is by opening iTunes and playing any music, or going to any video with audio on YouTube and listening for the sound to play from the Bluetooth speakers.

In the example here, a Retina MacBook Air is connected to a Tribit XSound Go which is a pretty good cheap portable speaker that greatly improves upon the built-in speakers experienced on a Mac laptop.

How to Disconnect / Remove Bluetooth Speakers from a Mac

One simple way to disconnect the audio output to a Bluetooth speaker from a Mac is to turn off the Bluetooth speaker, though when the speaker comes back on the Mac will automatically attempt to pair with it.

If you don’t want to turn the speaker off (perhaps you want to connect the Bluetooth speaker to an iPhone or iPad instead now), then you’ll need to use the menu bar or the Bluetooth control panel to disconnect and remove the device from the Mac.

  • Pull down the Bluetooth menu bar and select the Bluetooth speaker
  • Choose “Disconnect” from the submenu that appears alongside the Bluetooth speaker in the dropdown
Disconnect from Bluetooth speaker on Mac

You can also turn disconnect the Bluetooth speaker by turning off Bluetooth on the Mac, though that’s not practical if you use a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, or other accessories with the Mac.

How to Remove a Bluetooth Speaker from Mac

You can also remove the Bluetooth speaker from the Mac, so that it is no longer paired or found by the Mac when discovering Bluetooth devices:

  • Pull down the  Apple menu and choose “System Preferences”
  • Select the “Bluetooth” preference panel
  • Click the small (X) button next to the speaker devices name
  • Confirm that you want to remove the connected speaker from the Mac
Remove and disconnect Bluetooth speaker from Mac

Once the Bluetooth speaker is disconnected and removed, the Bluetooth speakers would need to be added again using the same instructions to connect the speaker in the first place.

❤ How to modify iOS Notifications settings at the lock screen

ios12 iphone x lock screen manage messages notifications

If you’re tired of a particular app posting notifications, you don’t have to drill down.

Notifications are one of iOS’s best features, letting apps and the iOS system alert you about important updates: a new episode of a show is available, a new text has arrived, your Lyft is on its way, and more. But you can wind up with apps that either notify you too often, or change their notification pattern after you’ve given permission.

You can dive into Settings > Notifications, swipe to find the app, and adjust settings there. But Apple introduced a nifty way in iOS 12 to change notification settings from within a lock screen alert.

mac911 notification lock screen swipe manage

Swipe left and you can tap Manage.

  1. From the lock screen, either swipe left and tap Manage, or “peek” (press lightly) to preview the notification and then from the preview tap the three dots (…) in the upper right corner.
  2. A pop-up menu offers Deliver Quietly or Turn Off, as well as a Settings link.
  • Tap Delivery Quietly and the notifications will only appear in Notification Center from now on.
  • Tap Turn Off and confirm by tapping Turn Off All Notifications. The app’s notifications are fully disabled.
  • Tap Settings and it dives you right to that app’s specific notification settings, where you can tweak them.

❤ the redesigned 2018 iPad Pro

Galaxy Expert , , , , , , , , , , , ,

This is the best image yet of the 2018 iPad Pro.

This is the best image yet of the 2018 iPad Pro.

A leaked product image goes a long way toward confirming that the 2018 iPad Pro is getting a significant redesign. Apple’s next tablet is shown in a folding case, but it’s clear that the bezels have shrunk and the Home button has disappeared, just as previous rumors indicated.

The image also clearly shows the front-facing sensors needed for Face ID.

The case image, which was leaked to mysmartprice, shows the 2018 iPad Pro being used in landscape mode. This adds weight to the unconfirmed reports that Face ID will work with the tablet held this way. There have been some questions about  this, as Apple’s facial recognition system works only in portrait mode on iPhones.

More 2018 iPad Pro design changes

The tablet in the leaked image is supposedly the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. However, the length of the Apple Pencil indicates this is likely the 10.5-inch version instead. In the 2018 models, Apple is expected to keep the same 12.9- and 10.5-inch screen sizes, but reduce the overall dimensions of the tablets by shrinking the bezels.

Still, no screen cutout (or notch) is necessary for the TrueDepth camera, as the iPad Pro won’t have bezels as thin as the iPhone XS.

The angle of this picture neither confirms or refutes the reports that the 2018 iPad Pro models will the the first iOS devices ever with a USB-C port.

The case in the product picture has a slot for an Apple Pencil. It’s not clear if the one shown is the rumored updated version of this active pen.

This redesigned iPad is expected to be unveiled before the end of this month. This will supposedly happen at a second fall press event, along with the unveiling of a new MacBook Air and Mac Mini.

New sign indicates iPad Pro update is imminent

2018 iPad Pro concept art

The new iPads can’t come soon enough.

The long wait for new iPad Pros may be nearly over if a recent filing by Apple in Asia is any indication that Apple has finalized its product lineup.

This week it was discovered that Apple just registered three new iPad models with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Apple also registered a new Bluetooth device with MIIT, which could be a new Apple Pencil for the iPads.

According to MySmartPrice’s findings, Apple registered iPad model numbers A1876, A1980, and A1993 with MIIT at the end of September. Those first model numbers were also in a Eurasian Economic Commission filing from July, the A1993 model number hasn’t been seen before.

Now that Apple has filed the same iPad Pro models in different countries, it should be a good sign that a launch could be happening soon.

Apple is expected by some fans to host a keynote sometime in October. The keynote could cover new Macs and iPads for the holiday season. It’s getting later into the month though and there’s still no sign of the event, so Apple could just choose to reveal the new products online only.

New iPad Pro features are expected to include a bezel-free display, A12X processor, Face ID, more RAM and other internal improvements. Apple also supposedly plans to ditch Lightning on the new iPads in favor of USB-C.
