Maybe don’t buy into the 8K video recording hype yet

Image
Opinion post by Joe Hindy We are getting 8K recording sometime in 2020. It’s not really a secret. After all, the Snapdragon 865 comes with native support for 8K video recording and the Galaxy S20 has it as well . It’s definitely something different and shows the power of today’s smartphones. That said, this is the first generation of 8K recording and, for heaven’s sake, it’s 8K recording. There are almost certainly going to be some issues with this on the onset, so maybe we shouldn’t get too excited just yet. 4K’s introduction didn’t go smoothly either It’s been a few years. However, a lot of people may not remember how not great 4K was when it was introduced. It frequently caused overheating issues in some devices and it had a recording limit of about ten minutes. It was actually quite a big hassle to record in 4K because technology simply hadn’t evolved to a point where a device with only passive cooling could handle such an intensive task. This problem is surprisingly

Face ID Mask lets you keep using face unlock during viral epidemic

Image
Face ID Masks The coronavirus epidemic has resulted in a sharp increase in demand for face masks, helping to protect people against getting infected. But one of the downsides is that face unlock on your smartphone becomes difficult (to say the least) if you’re wearing this. Fortunately, designer and artist Danielle Baskin has come up with a weird solution of sorts in Face ID Masks . This service prints your face on an N95 surgical mask, allowing you to theoretically unlock your device. Read: This smartphone uses AI to prevent you from taking nudes The process sees you uploading a picture of your face using the Face ID Masks web-app, and tweaking it to fix alignment before you get a finished product. There are a few caveats though, with the main one being that it doesn’t work with devices that use 3D face unlock. That means people with a Google Pixel 4 , Huawei Mate 30 Pro , or iPhone X and later can’t use it. Face ID Masks Baskin told Android Authority that she’s working on a

This smartphone uses AI to prevent you from taking nudes

Image
Tone Smartphones have become the primary photography platform for the vast majority of people around the world, and this extends to nude pictures as well. There’s nothing wrong with an adult taking nudes in the first place, but what if you have a problem or you’d like to make sure your children aren’t engaging in this sort of thing? That’s where the Tone E20 smartphone comes in. The new device by Japanese company Tone has a feature dubbed Smartphone Protection, according to CNET . This feature uses machine learning within the camera app to detect nudes being taken with the phone. If a nude photo is indeed detected by the camera app , it simply blocks the snap from being saved to the phone’s gallery. Tone In a rather interesting move, the phone can also be connected to a guardian’s device and warn them if someone tried to take a nude selfie. Hopefully Tone has tuned the feature adequately enough to prevent false positives. After all, the last thing I’d want as a minor is to be wro

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite review: An affordable flagship done right

Image
These are interesting times for smartphone buyers. While OnePlus pioneered the concept of an affordable flagship smartphone, Xiaomi , Realme and many others have sustained the momentum. Packing specifications that rival top-of-the-line hardware and nearly matching the experience, the line between a value flagship and a true premium device is blurry at best. Enter the Galaxy S10 Lite. Samsung’s flagship property has so far skirted away from the $500 to $600 segment, but changing times call for radical new solutions. The Galaxy S10 Lite errs close to the full featured Galaxy S10 experience with top-end internals, a software experience to match, as well as a quality camera set up.
