Samsung’s AKG N400 wireless earphones feature ANC, water resistance

Image
It was long rumored that the Galaxy Buds+ would feature ANC to compete with Apple's AirPods Pro, but they didn't. Now, Samsung's AKG sub-brand has released new true wireless earphones that bring active noise cancellation. On top of that, they also offer water resistance, something that the Galaxy Buds+ are lacking. The AKG N400 first made a surprise appearance  in South Korea, but they have now been officially announced. They cost KRW 230,000 (around $190) in South Korea, which is 30% higher than the price tag of the Galaxy Buds+, but they also bring additional features. They use 8.2mm drivers that have a frequency response of 10Hz-20KHz, an impedance of 16 ohms, and a sensitivity of 96 dB SPL. AKG N400 feature ANC, wireless charging, companion app They use a Bluetooth 5.0 chipset, which supports SBC and AAC codecs. The new true wireless earbuds come with a bunch of ear tips, including Comply foam tips. The active noise cancellation feature is excellent for blocking

Updates to form controls and focus

Image
HTML form controls provide the backbone for much of the web's interactivity. They're easy for developers to use, have built-in accessibility, and are familiar to our users. One issue with native form controls, however, is the inconsistency in their styling. Older controls, such as <button> and <select> were styled to match the user's operating system. Form controls that were added to the platform more recently were designed to match whatever style was popular at the time. For Chromium based browsers, this has led to controls that look mismatched and sometimes outdated, which causes developers to spend extra time (and ship extra code) styling around the controls' default appearance. <meter> , <progress> , and <input type="range"> look like they come from different worlds in Chrome 80 on Windows. To help fix this problem, the teams at Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome spent the last year collaborating to retheme an

How much is the Samsung Galaxy S10 now and is it worth it in 2020?

Image
The Galaxy S20 series represents Samsung's best 'candy bar' smartphone solution to date, which is something you'd expect from a brand new flagship. But if you're wondering if the Galaxy S10 series has any place on the market after the new model's release, the answer is 'yes,' if you're aware of the implications. There's no denying that the Galaxy S20 lineup is more powerful on paper than its predecessor in virtually every way, but that's not to say the Galaxy S10 is obsolete. And with the Galaxy S20 now stealing all the hype, you may be able to find attractive discounts on the Galaxy S10 series. You may have thought how much is the Galaxy S10 these days if you've been slightly discouraged by the pricing for the Galaxy S20. The good news is that one of Samsung's most robust lineups is now within reach of more customers than ever before. Is the Galaxy S10 worth it in 2020? Samsung's 2019 flagships remain quite powerful by t

First case of coronavirus confirmed at Samsung’s semiconductor plant

Image
The first case of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) at Samsung's semiconductor manufacturing plant in Yongin, Seoul, was confirmed earlier today, according to Yonhap News Agency . This is the first case of a Samsung employee at the Giheung semiconductor factory in Yongin to test positive, but it is not the first SARS-CoV-2 case to have been reported within the factory's perimeter. Roughly one month ago, a cafeteria worker at the Gigeung plant had also tested positive , but this was an employee of a contractor firm. As yet, there's no news on whether or not the plant will be shutting down Samsung's employee is in his 20s and he's a resident of Hwaseong. He began showing syndromes last week. According to the source citing the Hwaseong city government, the worker tested positive on Sunday. Samsung immediately sent his colleagues home and disinfected the workplace, but as yet, it's unclear whether the company will shut down its plant. The company may have found itsel

I’m seriously impressed with the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s charging speed

Image
The battery capacities on Galaxy phones in all price segments have received a massive boost this year. From the budget-friendly Galaxy M11 to the $1400 Galaxy S20 Ultra, Samsung has released quite a few phones that have a 5,000 mAh battery in recent months. The Galaxy S20 Ultra, despite some power hungry features like a 120Hz display refresh rate and a nearly 7-inch screen, lasts really long on a single charge thanks to the size of its battery. More than that, however, I'm impressed at how quickly it goes from 0 to 100% with the supplied 25W charger. I have been using the Galaxy S20 Ultra for around three weeks at this point and was using the Galaxy S20+ prior to that. All three Galaxy S20 models support 25W super fast charging, but Samsung seems to have tuned the Galaxy S20 Ultra to charge the fastest, or at least in a similar time as the Galaxy S20+, despite the difference in battery capacities. An hour of charging gets the Galaxy S20 Ultra from 0 to 100%, and that's par
