Samsung ties up with Swedish firm IMINT for video stabilization and optimization technologies

-

Samsung has signed an agreement with Swedish firm IMINT to use its video stabilization technologies in the upcoming products. Don’t get too excited too fast. The agreement specifically excludes the use of these video optimization technologies in Samsung’s smartphones.

IMINT, which stands for Image Intelligence, is a software and aerospace firm that’s specialized in video analytics, enhancement, and optimization. The company’s product Vidhance offers three benefits: advanced video stabilization, Live Auto Zoom, and Auto Curate. Live Auto Zoom allows following a moving subject and zooming in on it appropriately. Auto Curate trims down long videos into short clips, similar to what Google Photos does.

Since the agreement excludes smartphones, IMINT’s video stabilization being featured in the Galaxy S8 is out of a question. However, we think that Samsung could use the technology in its upcoming 360-degree cameras and drones (maybe).

Samsung’s QLED TVs receive positive feedback from US-based industry trackers

-
While Samsung has been the largest TV maker in the world for the past twelve years, it is struggling to promote its QLED technology for high-end TVs because only a few other brands have adopted the technology. Now, the South Korean consumer electronics giant has announced that its QLED TVs have received positive feedback from US-based industry trackers for delivering satisfactory all-round performance. DisplayMate and Forbes have praised Samsung’s latest QLED TVs pointing out their capabilities to reproduce accurate colors, higher brightness, and power efficiency. Forbes has reportedly praised Samsung’s TVs for providing better resolution, higher dynamic range, and for not facing burn-ins , something that is noticeable in OLED TVs if a static image is displayed for a longer period. “ All displays from TVs to Smartphones deliver their best picture quality and their most accurate colors in the dark. But almost no one watches their TV or any other display in complete darkness. T...

It hasn't been long since Samsung completed the construction of its P2 semiconductor plant in Pyeongtaek, but now, the company is preparing to build its 3rd 'P3' semiconductor factory in the same city in the Gyeonggi Province. According to reports from the local media , Samsung wants to start constructing the P3 plant in September and make it fully operational by the end of 2021. The P3 plant will reportedly be 300 meters longer than the existing P2 plant, topping a total of 700 meters in length. Constructing the building itself should take roughly a year, and a few additional months will be needed to install the necessary equipment and ready it for mass production. Samsung's P3 plant could be a 'total semiconductor factory' Given the size of the P3 plant compared to the P2 factory, industry watchers speculate that Samsung might want to turn the P3 facility into a 'total semiconductor factory' capable of producing DRAM and NAND flash chips as well...

The Galaxy M series has proven to be very successful for Samsung. The company launched its Galaxy M handsets last year in a bid to compete more effectively against the likes of Xiaomi and Vivo in India's lucrative mid-range market. It has been able to claw back market share in this segment thanks to the Galaxy M handsets. Customers have really liked what Samsung has offered and they have chosen to open their wallets for these devices. The company now says that the new Galaxy M handsets, lined up for the second half of this year, will be better and cheaper. New Galaxy M models are due in the second half of 2020 Samsung had complete clarity about the demographic it wanted to target with the Galaxy M series.

In order to aggressively price these devices, Samsung only sold the Gal...

Sony Announces Smaller Digital Paper E-Ink Writing Tablet

Sony has now announced a smaller follow-up to last year's Digital Paper E-ink writing tablet, the DPT-RP1. That's according to a new announcement made today via Sony's official blog. The new tablet – also dubbed with Digital Paper branding but sold under the model number DPT-CP1 – seems to be the same basic design as the previous model. However, while that earlier device was sized as close as possible to A4 paper with a 13.3-inch display, the new model drops to A5 with a 10.3-inch display. That should make its use much easier under a wider number of circumstances since it will arguably be easier to hold in one hand while writing with the other.  However, there will certainly be other benefits as well. As with the larger model from last year, the new Digital Paper centers around its inclusion of a stylus that works in conjunction with a 1,404 × 1,872 dot E-ink display with 16 levels of grayscale. The display is also specially designed to provide a paper-like feedback to u...
