Samsung unveils new 5G mmWave small cell to enhance indoor experience

Samsung’s new 5G indoor small cell will help provide seamless and enhanced 5G experiences to users in indoor environments known as Link Cell. According to Samsung, this technology delivers 5G-powered applications within enterprises, including manufacturing or distribution facilities, corporate offices, and entertainment or public venues (such as shopping centers, stadiums, or hotels).

Mind you! Link Cell is among the first commercial products available globally that provides wireless operators with a mmWave indoor small cell. It gives wireless operators a way to extend 5G service—with its high throughput and low latency capabilities—into businesses and venues.

Link Cell offers fast and easy indoor installation; it can be discretely placed on walls or ceilings, similar to a Wi-Fi access point while minimizing noise through fanless convection cooling. Designed to self-organize, Link Cell will adjust for optimal RF performance, allowing mobile applications to seamlessly operate within a facility or—as applications transition from a macro 5G network outside to the in-building network—maintain high-quality communications continuity. Link Cell is available now for wireless operators to purchase for use in commercial rollouts.

In order to extend the footprint of its 5G Ultra Wideband network, Verizon will be the first US wireless operator to commercially deploy Samsung’s Link Cell. This marks a new phase in delivering enterprise private 5G networks and advancing next-generation cellular technology use cases and applications. Verizon recently announced lab trials of 5G in-building solutions, which used Samsung Link.

“Verizon continues to rapidly advance our 5G deployment, and the addition of indoor cell sites will extend the availability of the fastest 5G service in the U.S. This is a key step in providing industry-changing, scalable, latency-sensitive, robust 5G solutions for enterprises,” said Adam Koeppe, Senior Vice President of Technology Planning and Development at Verizon.

The first version of Samsung’s Link Cell will support 28GHz and has the capability to combine four 100MHz bandwidth of frequencies, offering high capacity and ultra-fast download speeds. Moreover, it brings together radio, antenna, and digital unit into one compact box, and is less than 4 liters in volume, one of the smallest in the industry.

“Today, we are excited to unveil Samsung Link for wireless operators to expand the capabilities of 5G networks and seamlessly link together outdoor and indoor 5G experiences,” said Jaeho Jeon, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. “As one of the first commercial 5G mmWave indoor small cells, Link Cell will enable wireless operators and enterprises to bring 5G services to various offices, facilities and venue locations.”

Samsung’s Link Cell features the Qualcomm 5G RAN platform, which builds on the collaboration between Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Samsung. The Link Cell integrates antennas, radio, and baseband processing functionality into a discrete enterprise form-factor.

Apple likely to lift curtains off its ‘iPhone 12 mini’ next month

0

As we are inching closer to the much-anticipated launch of the Apple iPhone 12 series, the news is rife that the Cupertino-based tech giant is likely to lift curtains off its first iPhone with a mini moniker known as the iPhone 12 mini. This small variant will be rolled out along with “iPhone 12,” “iPhone 12 Pro,” and “iPhone 12 Pro Max”.

According to MacRumors, this moniker would be similar to the one that appears on the mini version of Mac, iPod and iPad. Mind you! Apple ‌iPhone 12‌ mini would be 5.4-inches in size as against the 5.4-inches iPhone 11 Pro that was launched last year.

Recently, a tipster on Twitter by name of DuanRui has shared a picture of Silicone Case Stickers for the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12/12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max that originate from Apple’s Distribution International Ltd, Ireland. The sticker further stated that these cases are designed in California and made in China. It is worth noting that the color for all three Silicone cases is black.

Recently, a tipster had also showcased a video of the expected 6.1-inch back panel that revealed the iPhone 12 Pro will come fitted with new LiDAR sensor placement. In a video Twitter, a tipster using the screen name of EverythingApplePro showcased that the back panel will comprise of LiDAR sensor placement, flat sides, smart connector, and various cutouts. Moreover, one gets to see the designated space that fits the wireless charger. If rumours are to be believed, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 12 is somewhat in line with the iPhone 5 and its predecessor. However, there is a change in the position of the SIM-card tray as the iPhone 12 has it on its right panel. As far as the camera is concerned, it is likely that this handset would carry a triple-camera module that’s in line with the already available Apple iPhone 11 series.

Apart from this, another popular leakster Jon Prosser shared that the mass production of Apple iPhone 12 models started. According to Prosser, the 120Hz refresh rate display model (codenamed d6x) didn’t go for production. Therefore, there are high chances that the upcoming handsets could offer 60Hz or 90Hz refresh rate displays.

Earlier, Apple had also started sending surveys to the iPhone users in order to enquire how they have been using the USB charger that comes along with the device. The clear reason behind this movie still unknown. However, the news is rife that the Cupertino-based tech company is planning to exclude the USB charger and EarPods in the box while rolling out Apple iPhone 12 later this year.

According to a 9To5Mac report: In the survey, users were questioned on what they did with their previous USB charger after bringing home the new handset. Apple is sending across this survey to those who recently bought a new iPhone.

The report further revealed that Apple clarified that its survey is about the USB power adapter and not related to the Lightning cable. The USB charger is used for charging using a wall outlet. You can plug the charger into an iPhone with a separate charging cable.

A Twitter user Thorzinho @bedabb revealed that he had bought an iPhone 11 this month and received the survey data Apple and he was intrigued by this question, “What did you do with the USB Power Adapter that came in the box with the iPhone 7 Plus that you replaced?”

The USB Power Adapter is used for charging from a wall outlet, and you connect the adapter to an iPhone with a separate charging cable.

Moreover, the display will be featuring a screen-to-body ratio of 91.9% which is comparatively larger than what we get on the 8 Pro (90.8%), 8 (88.7%) and recently launched OnePlus Nord (86.7%) that means it will be getting slim bezels.

Our Take

Comping all the specs side by side it has come to know that at least there is not much difference between all the four devices. S20 FE has got all the top features. It has a bigger 6.5-inch display, large battery IP68 certified for water and dust resistance along with a multi-camera set up that too includes a telephoto lens. In order to bring down the cost, the company has given a plastic body instead of glass which comes on its flagship devices. Also, it lacks 8K video recording and 100x space zoom is also missing instead it has a 30x zoom and 3x optical zoom. So for all these features, the pricing makes sense. So if you are were looking for an affordable option S20 FE is the one for you.

Google Maps brings a COVID-19 layer, a new safety tool to track nearby cases

With a new update, the search giant Google has introduced an overlay of COVID case trends as a new safety tool on its platform. This tool will be helpful in getting critical info about the number of COVID-19 cases in your area so that you can make more informed decisions before they travel to a city, state and even countries as getting around is more complicated these days

Over the past few months features such as popular times and live busyness, COVID-19 alerts in transit, and COVID checkpoints in driving navigation have already being introduced by Google in Maps. But now it has come up with a new safety to track COVID-19 cases in an area. The special COVID layer to Google Maps will start rolling out globally to Android as well as iOS devices this week onwards.

According to the blog post, a tool can be found in your Google Maps and toggling through this will show up the seven-day average number of confirmed cases in each area per 100,000 people for the area of the map you’re looking at, and a label that indicates whether the cases are trending up or down. 

 

Tap the layer button to see the data

The layer button can be found on the top right-hand corner of your screen. Hitting the button will let you see a trend of new COVID cases info. The colour coding will help you easily distinguish the density of new cases in an area. Trending case data is visible at the country level for all 220 countries and territories that Google Maps supports, along with state or province, county, and city-level data where available.

Select the COVID-19 info from the bottom of the layers menu

The COVID overlay gets its data from multiple authoritative sources, including Johns Hopkins, the New York Times, and Wikipedia. While these sources get the data from public health organizations like the World Health Organization, government health ministries, along with state and local health agencies and hospitals. Many of these sources already power COVID case information in Search, and we’re now expanding this data to Google Maps. 

“While getting around is more complicated these days, our hope is that these Google Maps features will help you get where you need to be as safely and efficiently as possible. The COVID layer starts rolling out worldwide on Android and iOS this week,” wrote Sujoy Banerjee, a Google Maps project manager, in a blog post.

Samsung SSD 980 PRO unveiled for gaming and high-end PC apps

0

Samsung has unveiled the company’s first consumer PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) – the Samsung SSD 980 PRO for professionals and consumers who want cutting-edge performance in their high-end PCs, workstations, and game consoles.

“Over the years, Samsung has continuously challenged the limits of high-speed flash memory storage solutions. The new 980 PRO SSD reflects our continuing commitment to delivering exceptional products consumers have come to expect from Samsung,” said Mike Mang, vice president of Memory Brand Product Biz at Samsung Electronics.

According to Samsung, The 980 PRO is ideal for consumers and professionals who work with 4K and 8K contents and play graphics-heavy games as it has been optimized for handling data-intensive applications.

All the key components, including the custom Elpis controller, V-NAND and DRAM, are completely designed in-house to deliver the full potential of PCIe 4.0. This allows the 980 PRO to provide sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,000 MB/s respectively, as well as random read and write speeds of up to 1,000K IOPS, making it up to two times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs and up to 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs.

Apart from performance, Samsung 980 PRO comes with outstanding thermal control solutions for improved reliability. While most of today’s high-performance NVMe SSDs rely on external copper heatsinks to diffuse heat, Samsung’s 980 PRO employs a nickel coating on the controller as well as a heat spreader label on the back side of the SSD for efficient thermal management. These innovative heat-dissipating functions also allow the drive to maintain its compact and slim M.2 form factor.

Besides this, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology further ensures that the drive’s temperature stays at the optimal level, minimizing performance fluctuations over the long haul.

It is worth noting that the Samsung SSD 980 PRO comes in 1TB, 500GB and 250GB models, and will be available worldwide starting this month, while the 2TB capacity model will be available by the end of this year. The 980 PRO’s manufacturer’s suggested retail prices start at $89.99 for the 250GB model.
