New patent suggests better zoom and dual-cameras for the Galaxy S8
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies

A recently filed patent for Samsung in South Korea hints at improved zoom controls in their camera software for smartphones, which on its own is a pretty boring patent and seems pointless considering how terrible digital zoom is on smartphones. However, if Samsung is investing into a smartphone camera zoom patent, that might mean their […] Come comment on this article: New patent suggests better zoom and dual-cameras for the Galaxy S8 Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f5977b41a15feccedd98896b0863d72f._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Samsung has historically used Qualcomm processors in its smartphones as well as its own in-house Exynos processors, but a third brand could get added to that list. Last week, MediaTek chairman Tsai Ming-kai named Samsung as a partner. And today, Arthur Wang, MediaTek’s senior director, confirmed that Samsung is indeed a customer.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7bd8fbbf334c7251ddef9df4dd3e703d.jpgOver the past few years, much has been written about BlackBerry’s historic fall from grace. In a turn of events that already has the trappings of a classic Business School 101 case-study, the famed Canadian tech giant once ruled the smartphone market with an iron fist before Apple swooped in out of nowhere and pushed them to the brink of irrelevance. Once it became clear that Apple’s take on the modern-day smartphone was where the entire industry was headed, BlackBerry tried to implement all sorts of gimmicks, strategy re-shifts, and executive shuffling in an effort to stay afloat. Alas, there…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e4aa34c04bc200f9c8d47d450b9774ae.jpgOne of the more common ways that purveyors of malware are able to trick unsuspecting users into downloading malicious software is to prey upon the public’s insatiable appetite for celebrity news, photos and gossip. As a result, some celebrity-oriented search queries tend to be associated with a greater likelihood of downloading malware than others. As Intel notes, malicious actors are quick to put up websites “loaded with malware that can steal passwords and personal information,” especially in the days preceding new movie and music releases and in the days following a major celebrity breakup …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/260e096189e76235af02036b3e3a6a2a.jpg Welcome to throwback Thursday on a Wednesday. There once was a time where just about every Wi-Fi router in homes across the country were little blue boxes that said Linksys. Times have certainly changed and there are plenty of companies out there that make top-notch routers, but Linksys continues to be one of the best names in the business. After all these years and all the routers the company has released, the Linksys AC1900 Dual Band Open Source WiFi Wireless Router is probably its best all-around router ever. It's fast, it offers great range, and with Amazon's current sale it's availab…

Its promise? That two people wearing earpieces made by the company could speak in different languages, and with the earpieces working in conjunction with a smartphone app, each person could hear a translation in their preferred language in their ear. For example, one person could speak Spanish, and the other would hear it as English in his ear, and vice versa. (more…) Trending right now: No one is talking …

Which streaming service are viewers most happy with: Netflix, Amazon or Hulu?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/23938da673dfcc36e226f390abd8e50e.jpgIn the battle for online video supremacy, Netflix unquestionably has a leg up on the competition when it comes to original programming. In 2016 alone, for example, Netflix plans to introduce more than 600 hours of original content across every type of genre imaginable. All the more impressive is that Netflix anticipates a time when 50% of its library will be comprised of Netflix originals. When it comes to overall customer satisfaction, however, Netflix’s lead over the competition is shrinking rapidly.

Now this isn’t a Snowden level leak by any means, nor does it imply or suggest that Apple has access to the content of any privately sent messages, but in today’s age where user privacy is a hot-button issue, it can never hurt to be cognizant of what information might be shared with the police.
