| Verizon is launching RCS Chat on the Pixel 3 on December 6th Posted: 04 Dec 2018 04:53 PM PST  Verizon has confirmed to The Verge that it will be launching RCS Chat on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL on December 6th. Only those two phones on Verizon will have the feature, but the company tells me that it is "committed to bringing advanced messaging to other Verizon smartphones in the future." In other words, the rollout for Chat on Verizon will probably be a little slow, but it's still earlier than we were expecting. A few weeks ago, A Verizon executive indicated that support for Chat would come in "early 2019." RCS is the text-messaging standard set to replace SMS for Android phones — it supports features that you would expect from any text-messaging client, including typing indicators, high-resolution images and video, and better group... |
| The first ‘real world’ 5G test was a dud Posted: 04 Dec 2018 04:48 PM PST  This week's Qualcomm Snapdragon Technology Summit was supposed to be the coming-out party for blazing-fast 5G cellular networks — the first time that journalists would be able to see real, consumer 5G devices running on real 5G networks from Verizon and AT&T. That's only partially true. A handful of 5G devices are here on the beautiful island of Maui. But journalists aren't being allowed to try 5G in any meaningful way. They can't touch the Samsung phone, or the AT&T hotspot, or the Verizon hotspot, or run an actual speed test on Motorola's 5G modded phone. There are demos, like a VR headset plugged into a computer connected to Wi-Fi that's also technically 5G, but we can't peer behind the curtain to verify that 5G is actually working. ... |
| Apple patents interchangeable AirPods design with biometric sensors Posted: 04 Dec 2018 03:07 PM PST  Apple's AirPods may be best-in-class wireless earbuds, but they're not for everyone. Due to the shape of some people's inner ear, the headphones simply don't fit every possible ear shape well, or in some cases, cause pain when placed firmly inside the ear. That's a major drawback for a $160 pair of headphones, especially ones that could be easily lost and are definitely not cheap to replace. But a new patent, filed originally last year and awarded to Apple today, highlights a possible solution: interchangeable, "universal" AirPods that could use built-in biometric sensors to perform health tracking and also to determine in which ear a specific bud is being placed. ... |
| Tom Cruise stars in impassioned PSA against motion smoothing Posted: 04 Dec 2018 03:01 PM PST  Tom Cruise has a new public service announcement that he wants people to become super aware of: he's taking a stand against motion smoothing on TVs. Cruise and Mission: Impossible — Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie — reunited on the set of Top Gun: Maverick — appeared in a 90-second video meant to bring attention to motion smoothing, known more technically as interpolation or more casually as the "soap opera effect." Cruise acknowledges in the video that "the unfortunate side effect" of motion smoothing technology is that it makes it seem like movies were "shot on high-speed video rather than film." Fallout was released on Blu-ray today, which is the reason for the announcement's timing. Cruise starts the video with a smile, but... |
| The Secret Service wants to test facial recognition around the White House Posted: 04 Dec 2018 01:51 PM PST  The US Secret Service has revealed plans for a test of facial recognition surveillance around the White House, with the goal of identifying "subjects of interest" who might pose a threat to the president. The document was published in late November, but the American Civil Liberties Union publicized its existence today. It describes a test that would compare closed circuit video footage of public White House spaces against a database of images — in this case, featuring employees who volunteered to be tracked. The test was scheduled to begin on November 19th and to end on August 30th, 2019. While it's running, film footage with a facial match will be saved, then confirmed by human evaluators and eventually deleted. The document... |
| Trump administration releases Postal Service review after Amazon attacks Posted: 04 Dec 2018 01:30 PM PST  The Treasury Department today released a 70-plus-page report on the Postal Service's finances, part of a task force review ordered by the Trump administration after the president publicly bashed mail deals between the service and Amazon. The review, a detailed examination of the service's "unsustainable" business model, credited e-commerce platforms with contributing to an increase in package volume and revenue, but said future increases in package delivery won't be enough to offset financial problems. Without financial changes, "the USPS's long-term sustainability is in question." The report details issues well beyond package pricing deals, which the president has used as an argument... |
| Google made a Sounds app for custom Pixel ringtones, but its features aren’t live yet Posted: 04 Dec 2018 01:27 PM PST  Google has made several custom apps for the Pixel and Pixel XL, and its latest one appears to be an app called Sounds that was just uploaded to the Play Store, as spotted by 9to5Google. However, the link to the app is only accessible if you have a Pixel. The app listing describes Sounds as a way for users to customize their alarms, ringtones, and notifications. It's an updated version of the Sounds menu found in Pixel settings. As you test out each sound, the app uses colorful visualizations so you can better differentiate each ringtone from the other. Others have saved the APK and noted that the app doesn't quite have those visualizations available yet, and doesn't even offer any new ringtones. That's likely because this... |
| Verizon’s first 5G hotspot will launch in 2019 Posted: 04 Dec 2018 01:00 PM PST  Verizon today announced that its first 5G — and I mean real, proper 5G NR — hotspot device will launch to consumers in 2019. The hotspot was developed in collaboration with Inseego and utilizes Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 chip and Snapdragon X50 5G modem. The two companies plan to showcase the hotspot running on a very small-scale deployment of Verizon's actual 5G NR network in Hawaii at Qualcomm's technology summit. (The event is being used to conduct tests of the "real" 5G networks for Verizon and AT&T.) With the hotspot, they'll perform "a live virtual reality telemedicine demonstration in partnership with Columbia University" that's meant to highlight the incredibly low latency delivered by 5G. Inseego says its device has "achieved... |
| Qualcomm announces the Snapdragon 855 processor for 5G phones Posted: 04 Dec 2018 12:44 PM PST  Snapdragon 855. That's the name of Qualcomm's new flagship processor for mobile phones, the company just announced at its Snapdragon Technology Summit in Hawaii. The announcement was expected: Qualcomm launched its predecessor, the Snapdragon 845, at the same conference almost exactly one year ago. But the new 855 isn't just another spec bump. It's the chip that will almost certainly appear in the first wave of 5G phones. Qualcomm has said this new platform will support "multi-gigabit" download speeds on 5G networks. This year's Snapdragon Technology Summit is also one of the last major milestones before blazing-fast 5G cellular networks launch in the United States for real, and both AT&T and Verizon are here with real 5G devices for us... |
| Samsung caught (again) using DSLR photo to advertise smartphone camera Posted: 04 Dec 2018 12:00 PM PST  Now that smartphones are capable of taking photos that can, in some instances, rival those of DSLRs, companies seem to be getting more and more comfortable swapping actual DSLR photos into their advertising. The problem is, most phone cameras are still far from DSLR quality, so it's rarely a fair representation. And Samsung is the latest to get busted trying to pass one off. Over at DIYPhotography (which we spotted via Daring Fireball), writer and photographer Dunja Djudjic says that she caught Samsung Malaysia using one of her photos to advertise the portrait mode capabilities of the Galaxy A8 Star, a midrange phone that came out over the summer. Djudjic suspects that Samsung licensed the picture from her through the photo site EyeEm,... |
