Highlights Of The Huawei Mate X

Officially, the Mate X will be available mid-2019 for the price of € 2,300. The specifications of the phone have been known for some time. In addition to the biggest feature, the folding function, it will also be Huawei’s first 5G smartphone.

The company spokesman confirmed that the foldable Huawei smartphone will continue to come with Android as the operating system on the market, as it was already presented in February and thus before the separation from Google. However, it is still in negotiations, which Google Apps are already installed on the Mate X factory. Because the transition period by Google is only valid until mid-August.

The Mate X Flap Display

The Mate X can be opened. If you press the small silver button, which is in the middle of the handle, a soft click sounds and the smartphone opens its wings like a butterfly. But they are in contrast to the colorful butterflies – not symmetrical. The handle ensures that one side of the display is a bit narrower. In the unfolded state but does not bother.

Brilliant, Sharp And Scalable

Before unfolding the Mate X, the smartphone has two displays. The main screen measures 6.6 inches and dissolves at 2,480 x 1,148 pixels. The display on the back is slightly smaller: 6.38 inches in the diagonal provide space for 2,480 x 892 pixels. The Mate X recognizes which of the two faces is facing the face and turns on the corresponding display. So you do not necessarily open the smartphone, for example, to write a message.

Although the foldable screen is undoubtedly the highlight of the Huawei Mate X, the folder offers more than that. Three cameras with different focal lengths (normal, wide-angle and telephoto), 5G and two batteries giving a total capacity of 4,500 mAh are also included to the equipment features. In addition, the Mate X, if you connect it to the charger, charged with 55 watts. This means: the battery will charge from 0 to 85 percent within half an hour.

Huawei Wants Its Own Operating System

The Chinese Huawei Group wants under the massive pressure of US sanctions to have its own operating system by the next spring at the latest ready. The software will run on smartphones, computers and tablets, but also on televisions, in cars and portable devices. In addition, it will be compatible with Android apps, announced the head of Huawei consumer division.

The Chinese Huawei Group wants to quickly complete its own operating system after the US sanctions. As a date for the start called a Huawei manager spring 2020 at the latest or perhaps in the fall of this year. The US had banned some of Huawei’s business, and Google had announced that it would restrict Huawei’s access to the Android operating system.

It Is Possible That The Software Will Be Ready In The Fall

According to this, the currently second largest smartphone manufacturer since 2012 working on the development of its own operating system. Since it is known that the US government wants to massively restrict the business of US companies such as Google with the Chinese group, the project has, however, gained much urgency.

The Period

For users of Huawei smartphones, the 90-day period means, among other things, that Google will continue to supply its phones with updates and apps in the next three months. However, the easing does not apply to the use of US technology in new products. The US has put Huawei on a blacklist of companies whose business relationships with US partners are subject to strict controls. Anyone who wants to sell or transfer US technology to Huawei has to acquire a license.

However, this can be denied if security concerns are touched. Huawei is suspected by US authorities of using its entrepreneurial activity to espionage for China. Evidence has not yet been made public. The US is also pushing other western countries, such as Germany, to keep Huawei off the nets for the future superfast 5G cellular standard. Huawei always rejected the US allegations.

The HP Metal Printer Project To Increase Productivity

New HP metal printers should massively increase productivity in the industry. The printer manufacturer HP launches the production of metal parts in large series with its “Metal Jet” printers. The presses presented the IMTS manufacturing fair. It will produce fifty times faster than competing models and be even more reliable.

3D Metal Printing Could Play An Important Role In The Production Of Electric Cars

In initially rather small series of e-vehicles, conventional production methods often involve high upfront costs, for example for the creation of tools or molds. That drives up the unit costs. In 3D printing, however, the costs are the same from the first piece. Manufacturing by 3D printing is called additive, because the workpieces are built up in layers, which are added one after the other and connected.

HP is already active in the mass production of plastic parts and is now entering the metal-working market. So far, due to its high cost and slow speed, 3D metal printing is only used for high value added small series such as turbines. HP promises competitive costs for runs of thousands of units.

In addition, the 3D machines derived from the “Laser Jet” paper printers are designed to enable faster printing through more printheads. The quality should also be high thanks to redundant pressure nozzles. For example, clogged nozzles should not fail the workpieces.

HP Also Targets Smaller Companies

HP wants to assert 3D metal printing in the broad market as quickly as possible and is therefore planning to launch the Metal Jet Production in the first half of 2019.Businesses can then upload the designs of their workpieces to HP: specialists then check to see if the parts can be manufactured or modified. Thereafter, the orders are passed on to the customer’s wishes to order producers.

What To Expect From A 2019 Model Notebook That Costs Around 1,000 Euros?

The range of notebooks is rich. In the price range up to 1,000 euros, there is currently everything your heart desires. Form the slim ultrabook over versatile convertibles to classic laptops without a lot of bells and whistles. But who is actually suitable for which model? How should a 1,000 euro notebook be equipped? Do only expensive devices offer a high speed and a long battery life? This large test of current Windows 10 laptops in the price range of 1,000 euros provides answers and explains what really matters when buying.

Unity In The Resolution

The differences in the displays are more dramatic, even if the data does not suggest it at first. The reveal that most of the notebooks feature full-HD movies, vacation photos and web pages with 1920×1080 pixels. Sure: With the smaller 13.3-inch notebooks , the approximately two million pixels are naturally much closer together than 15.6-inch notebooks . The result: a slightly higher image sharpness. In practice, this is hardly significant. The tested 15.6 incher also show detailed and sharp content. But a sharp display does not make a perfect picture, as the test showed. The biggest criticism: Many candidates  take it in the color representation anything but accurate.

Great Expectations

For the photo editing is not only the pace important. To make sure that it does not hook, the notebook should have a lot of steam – especially if in addition to Photoshop Elements other programs and websites are open. But what hardware can notebook buyers expect depending on their price range? Up to 1,000 euros: A 500-gigabyte SSD must also be with 1,000 euro notebooks on board, but also a hard drive with about 1,000 gigabytes of memory. In addition, buyers can expect a separate graphics chip, with which simple games can be played .As in the case of the Acer Swift 3 or MSI Prestige PS42.

Great Speed Differences

 The expensive notebooks put themselves in the tempo tests at the top of the test field. For simple office and Internet tasks, the differences were still manageable – they are usually barely noticeable in everyday life. When it comes down to it, the balance of power becomes clearer. Cutting out boring scenes from a video clip and then converting it to a new movie takes the HP Envy X360 2019 around half the time of the Huawei MateBook for example.

Almost Nine Hours Of Battery Life

The advantage of the Pentium CPU in the Trekstor: It is content with comparatively little energy, so a battery charge in the test was sufficient to work for four hours without a socket. Acer’s Swift 3 proves that even lumbering laptops can really handle energy with a mischievous amount of energy: when working, the lights only turned off after seven hours and the video playback took almost nine hours. That was enough to watch a few 90 minute films without a stop at the socket. Great for a notebook in this performance class.

The Best Digital Camera Features In 2019

A quick snapshot to share on Instagram? This is the fastest way with a smartphone. Anyone who wants to shoot top shots on holiday or special events goes better with a digital camera. Zoom in every motif  has better image quality thanks to flash or larger sensors, much more setting options or a particularly short reaction time: There are plenty of reasons for a digital camera! We give some recommendations for choosing the perfect models and introduce them.

 Perfect View Of The Subject

Whether ski slope or summer beach – in bright sunshine, there are only reflections on the smartphone or camera display. Luckily for many digital cameras, a viewfinder provides more clarity. In SLRs, it is always included, even with very cheap models like the Canon EOS 2000D and the Nikon D3500. System cameras and compact cameras with viewfinder are often a bit more expensive. Among the cheapest are the system cameras Olympus E-M10 Mark III and Panasonic Lumix GX80 . When shooting overhead or near the ground, a folding or swivel display is extremely handy.

Full-Frame Sensor: Top Shots In Every Light

Top photo smartphones such as the Apple iPhone XS  or Huawei P30 Pro deliver great photos and videos during the day that are barely distinguishable from digital camera images on the smartphone display. If you zoom in on the picture, you will quickly notice that most smartphones offer a significantly higher picture quality with larger sensors. Especially compact cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix TZ202 with 1-inch sensors collect more light than the tiny smartphone sensors. This usually ensures better pictures even in daylight.

Lenses For SLR And System Cameras

The biggest advantage of SLR and system cameras is the interchangeable lens. For portraits, for example, a bright short telephoto is perfect. Good lenses like Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM or Nikon AF-S Nikon 50mm f1.8G are already available from good prices. With an APS-C camera like the Nikon D3500, their focal lengths are around 80 millimeters (converted to 35 mm format). This succeeds on a small budget portraits, in which the background already sinking into blur – smartphones can’t do that.

Samsung is expected to launch its new flagship this summer. After many rumors now render graphics have emerged, showing the device from all directions. The release of Samsung’s new Note model is expected in August 2019.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 price

Protective Film Shows Narrow Edges

The latest leak to the Galaxy Note 10 gives a look at the possible design of the front .In the form of a screen protector. On a picture published  on Twitter, there is a display slide, which is supposed to be a design for a cover sheet for the Note 10.Clearly recognizable are the narrow edges around the display, which are marked black in the film. The lower edge is slightly wider than the rest. It is also noticeable that the film has no recess for the front camera. According to news, that’s because the dimensions are missing. Even with the first designs for the Galaxy S10, this information was not available.

The New Galaxy Note 10 According To Pictures

The pictures show the normal Note 10 model with triple camera on the back. This is not like the predecessor horizontal and centered, but placed vertically in the upper left corner. As with the Galaxy S10 Samsung probably uses an Infinity display. The hole for the front camera should this time be positioned in the middle and a little smaller. The display is slightly bent on both sides. It has a narrow rim all around.

The case has a power button and volume buttons on the side, a USB-C port on the bottom and the slot for the S-Pen. In contrast, the design lacks both the headphone jack and the button. A fingerprint sensor is not visible. This is probably like the Galaxy S10 in the display.

Physical Buttons, Headphone Jack And Charger

According to news, Samsung has experimented with a touch 10 with no buttons. The prototypes discarded. The grade 10 should therefore be equipped with physical keys. That the headphone jack is missing, however, is confirmed. The Leaker has parallel released a picture with a flash, numbered 45 in binary code. This concludes the rumor mill that the battery can be charged with 45 watts. The Note 9 offers in comparison charging with a maximum of 15 watts.

iOS 13 Innovations And Many More Features To Exploit The Potential

The innovations for iOS 13 were a big topic at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference. Apple separates now strictly between iOS for the iPhone and iPad, in addition to a dark mode you can look forward to completely revised apps and many more features.

In addition to many new and helpful features for the new operating system for iPhone and iPad stands out above all a fact at this year’s conference: For the first time in the company’s history, Apple separates the iPhone and iPad and donated both devices their own OS version. Over an hour, Apple took time for iOS and iPadOS to present all the innovations.

The Dark Mode

The desire for a dark mode in iOS has been more and more present in the Apple community in the recent past . Finally Apple fulfills this wish. Although Apple was not too keen on the new feature: What we can take from the keynote, is that there will be new wallpapers, on which the dark fashion comes to its best advantage. Even in the apps themselves, the dark fashion provides a nice visual change.

Extensions For iMessages 

The ubiquitous messaging app gets an upgrade that allows users to choose a name and image and choose who can see what info. The emojis also get a big update. Now users can create their own digital version of themselves with even more details. Especially women can look forward to the update, because here you can try all imaginable hairstyles and make-up wishes.

The iPad Gets Its Own OS

All the new features that appear on iOS 13 will also come on the iPad. Apple  separates for the first time the iOS for iPhone and iPad. With iPadOS, the iPad gets a new gesture control and a partially new interface. For example, if you wipe the home screen to the right, a mixture of homescreen and widgets will appear on the screen. In addition, users expect new multitasking capabilities, not just with system apps, but also with third-party apps.

New Homepod Function

The homepod has a lot of problems, but above all, it treats each voice as if it were the user who sets it up and ties it to its Apple ID. For a device that is intended for use at home, this is a frightening defect and, frankly, a security and privacy problem. Apple is not yet tackling this problem instead the voice will sound more natural with a Siri update. In addition, you can now put the iPhone near the HomePod, so that it automatically takes over the music played on the iPhone. If you remove the iPhone again, the music will play again on the iPhone.

The Advantages Of Samsung Portable SSD X5

Most current external SSD storage rarely achieves transfer speeds beyond 550 megabytes per second (MB / s). Among other things, this is due to the fact that the interfaces of the used mSATA memory no longer give. 

Samsung’s Portable SSD X5 Is Different

It uses a flash memory with NVMe interface, as they use modern internal SSD storage for fast PCI Express transfers. And so that the connection does not become a bottleneck, the X5 connects via Thunderbolt 3 with computers. We have measured with the 1 terabyte large version of the memory, what comes out.

Samsung Portable SSD

Nothing Works Without Thunderbolt 3

In order to be able to ride Samsung’s high-speed SSD, you need a computer whose equipment meets the high demands. Thunderbolt 3 cannot be found on many notebooks, USB 3.1 is still standard here. On such devices you need the X5 but not only plug in, without Thunderbolt 3 no data flows. And even if the required port is present, the computer’s SSD may not be able to keep up, or the PCI express transmission may run on fewer channels than Samsung’s Turbo Storage.

Faster Than The Internal SSD

The test results are impressive. In System Test Lite, the Samsung Portable SSD X5 reached speeds of around 2550 MB / s, data it wrote at about 1800 MB / s. In the Blackmagic Disk Speed ​​Test, the memory came to just under 2400 MB / s (read) and 1750 MB / s (write). In both tests, the X5 left the internal SSD of the MacBook Pro at the write rates (1300 MB / s) clearly behind. While reading, both memories were a bit faster. A 30-gigabyte folder of photos and videos were copied from internal to external storage after about 15 seconds.

The Samsung Portable SSD X5 is extremely fast and displays the taillights, especially when reading data from all external SSD competitors. However, it costs about 500 euros with 1 TB in online trading, with 500 GB about 250 euros. That’s a lot of money and is really only worthwhile for users who need the speed and whose hardware can exploit the X5 -for example, in the professional 4K video editing.
