Honor Magic 2 packs six cameras into competitive Android slider

-
Honor has revealed its latest Android phone, the Honor Magic 2, driving screen bezels to their very minimum and doing so without having to resort to a notch. The newest device from Huawei's youth-obsessed sub-brand, the Magic 2 relies on a retractable camera section to avoid a screen cut-out. It leaves the front of the smartphone almost entirely dominated by … Continue reading

How Google Maps Made The Navigation Industry “Sweat”

-
Image
The arrival of contemporary smartphones and mobile apps in the late 2000s didn't just fundamentally change what consumers expect from their handsets, it also ended up disrupting a wide variety of industries, with mobile navigation being its first target.  Founded in 1999, Santa Clara, California-based Telenav was enjoying a relatively successful first decade of existence, having worked with major U.S. carriers such as AT&T and Sprint on offering navigation services. Following the arrival of Google Maps, it suddenly found itself having to rethink its flagship product after after Google's solution, offering a comparable navigation service free of charge, became available on every new smartphone.  "It made the industry sweat quite a bit at the time," Telenav Executive Director of Strategy Ky Tang recalled in an interview with Android Headlines, asserting Google Maps had changed the navigation game significantly. At a time when smartphones were enjoying massive globa...

Telenav Seeks Disruption With Free In-Car Services

Image
Location-based solution provider Telenav is seeking to disrupt the in-car services industry with a new monetization platform designed to offer a variety of in-car services such as free navigation to consumers and monetize them through advertising. Originally announced at Las Vegas, Nevada-based Consumer Electronics Show in January, Telenav's offering is effectively targeted at bringing the ad-supported software business model that already proved its worth in the mobile industry to the in-vehicle tech segment. The company's internal studies and a number of independent surveys suggest the vast majority of consumers "would prefer free in-car services monetized through ads rather than pay for them" like they would traditionally, Telenav Executive Director of Strategy Ky Tang told AndroidHeadlines in an interview. Telenav says its in-car solution can be applied to a wide variety of use cases and technologies that consumers have come to expect from contemporary vehicles....

Supporting the military community for whatever’s next

In August 2018, Google made a commitment to veterans, military spouses, and service members transitioning to civilian careers. At that time, we announced a job search experience that uses military occupational specialty codes to connect service members and veterans with open jobs that call for skills developed during their time in service. In the months since, we've continued our work to make it even more useful for those who are searching for civilian jobs and the amazing people who support and guide them. People like Kristen Rheinlander, who works as the Transition Site Manager of the USO Pathfinder Program at Fort Hood, Texas. A self-described Army brat whose father served in the military for 25 years, Kristen came to the USO as a volunteer 4 years ago. Today, she heads up a team that works with service members and their families as they prepare for a new challenge: figuring out what comes next. Every new challenge has a first step, and for Kristen, it starts with ...

Helping journalists understand the power of machine learning

Editor's note: What impact can AI and machine learning have on journalism? That is a question the Google News Initiative is exploring through a partnership with Polis, the international journalism think tank at the London School of Economics and Political Science . The following post is written by Mattia Peretti, who manages the program, called JournalismAI. In the global survey we conducted last year about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by news organizations, most respondents highlighted the urgent need to educate and train their newsroom on the potential offered by machine learning and other AI-powered technologies. Improving AI literacy was seen as vital to change culture and improve understanding of new tools and systems: AI literacy is crucial. We are looking at how to better educate our journalists on everything from rudimentary coding through to data science. The more the newsroom at large embraces the technology... for AI projects, the bet...

We picked up on a rumor out of China earlier this week which claimed to reveal the Galaxy Tab S3 specifications . It was claimed that the upcoming tablet would be powered by an Exynos 7420 processor with 4GB RAM. We’re seeing a conflicting report today as the Galaxy Tab S3 has now been spotted on the benchmarking website GFXBench. As per the benchmark result, the Galaxy Tab S3 features a 9.6-inch display with 2,048×1536 pixel resolution and a 2.1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor under the hood hooked up to 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. It also reveals that the device could feature a 12-megapixel rear camera and may be running Android 7.0 Nougat from the get go. It’s pertinent to mention here that only the 9.6-inch variant of the Galaxy Tab S3 has been spotted as far and it remains to be seen if its smaller sibling will make an apperance soon as well. Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything about its new flagship tablets. Hopefully it will have more to share at the Mobile Wor...
