Samsung Display is once again the largest display supplier for the mobile industry after the company lost the title to BOE Technology near the end of 2018. However, as more OEMs continued adopting AMOLED solutions for their 2019 smartphones, Samsung Display regained its top spot as the industry's biggest player. This is according to a Gizmochina report citing IHS Markit, which reveals that Samsung Display covered 29% of the mobile display segment at the end of Q3 2019, up from 21.3% only a quarter earlier. Meanwhile, BOE Technology's market share fell below 20% in the third quarter. Samsung Display shipped a whopping 146 million AMOLED panels in Q3 That's 2 million more than the largest amount of LCD panels ever shipped in a quarter for the mobile industry. This means that, effectively, AMOLED is now the most popular type of mobile display. Samsung Display shipped 'only' 93 million AMOLED panels in Q2 2019, and an increase to 146 million units over the

Computer science research addresses problems that affect all of our lives, from producing better flood forecasts to live captions and more. To ensure that CS research explores the issues that affect all communities, the researchers themselves need to be representative of those communities But in 2018, less than 25 percent of computer science PhD degrees in the United States were awarded to researchers from groups historically underrepresented in technology. As part of our efforts to broaden participation in CS research careers and make them more accessible to everyone, we accepted 37 outstanding undergraduates to Google's CS Research Mentorship Program (CSRMP) this fall. The program encourages students to pursue graduate and doctorate-level CS studies by matching them with Google mentors. As the students work toward their goals, they attend a CS research conference and travel to Mountain View as guests for the PhD Fellowship Summit. We caught up with Sam Steinberg, a

There has been a lot of discussion about the unexpected camera layout of the Galaxy S11 . Unofficial CAD renders of the Galaxy S11e and Galaxy S11 gave us our first look at it last week. Renders of the Galaxy S11+ have been leaked online by the same source today. As if that wasn't enough shock and awe, the Galaxy S11+ appears to have an absolutely bonkers camera layout. It's unlike anything that we have ever seen before on a Samsung smartphone. Yet it now seems like a done deal. Galaxy S11+ camera layout is unlike any other Samsung smartphone The design itself is similar to what we have seen in the other leaked renders. Slim bezels, a taller display and no headphone jack . All of the physical buttons have been moved to the right frame. The Galaxy S11+ is expected to feature an impressive 6.9-inch Super AMOLED display. The punch hole for the front camera is in the center like it currently is on the Galaxy Note 10. It's said to measure in at 166.9 x 76 x 1

Samsung is the biggest smartphone vendor on the planet. Data from multiple industry trackers showed that the company shipped nearly 300 million units just last year. As you can probably imagine, a vast manufacturing network is required to pump out over a quarter of a billion devices every year. The company has factories in several countries across the globe. However, it doesn't really make a difference what country Samsung phones are made in. Samsung maintains a single quality standard across all of its factories. Where are Samsung Galaxy phones made China You'd think China would be where most Samsung Galaxy phones are made. China is the global manufacturing hub after all. It's also where Apple gets the bulk of its iPhones manufactured. Not to mention the fact that Chinese OEMs have come to dominate the smartphone market. Samsung actually shut down its last remaining smartphone factory in China this year. As of 2019, the company is not making any phones in the

Samsung launched its Bixby assistant with the Galaxy S8 back in 2017 . The assistant, particularly the Bixby Voice functionality, has since been expanded to many of its devices. Bixby Voice is what responds when you give your phone a voice command. Some mid-range Samsung phones and tablets only have Bixby Home. Bixby has come a long way since then. It received a significant update with the Galaxy Note 9 as well. It appears Samsung now wants users to only experience the most recent iteration of its virtual assistant. Bixby Voice support ending for Android Nougat and Oreo Our sources tell us that Samsung has decided to end Bixby Voice support for devices running Android 7.0 Nougat and Android 8.0 Oreo. The devices in question include the Galaxy S9 and S9+, Galaxy S8, S8+ and S8 Active, Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy A9 2018. If you own one of these devices that's running either or Nougat or Oreo, you will not be able to use Bixby Voice and Bixby Briefing, which provides a summar

Samsung is bringing the Galaxy Fold to yet another market, this time Vietnam , where the device will become available for pre-order tomorrow, November 27. Unsurprisingly, Vietnam will see a limited launch not unlike in other markets, and a limited number of Galaxy Fold units will ship to customers on December 14. Galaxy Fold in Vietnam costs about the same as everywhere else Unsurprisingly yet again, prospective Galaxy Fold buyers in Vietnam are expected to pay a full retail price of VND 50,000,000 or the rough equivalent of $2,156. However, Samsung Vietnam also talks about 12 and 24 months installment plans with 0% down, which will be available from December 13 until the end of March 2020. The Galaxy Fold in Vietnam will be available in Cosmos Black and the retail package will contain the usual goodies, ranging from a Kevlar case to help protect the precious smartphone-tabled hybrid, to a pair of Galaxy Buds. Customers in Vietnam will take advantage of the Galaxy Fold Premier

Samsung held the 2019 C-Lab Outside Demoday event at its R&D Campus in Seocho-gu, Seoul, yesterday. At the event, the company introduced 18 new startups that were selected through the C-Labs Outside contest in August this year. These startups cover diverse business areas such as AI, lifestyle, VR / AR, healthcare, etc. More than 300 attendees comprising of startup representatives, influential investors, and Samsung officials attended the event.

Last year, the company expanded the scope of the initiative by launching C-L

The Galaxy Fold went on sale after the Galaxy Note 10, but it didn't have many of the fancy new features that debuted on the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ despite having a price tag almost twice as big. Samsung first brought those Note 10 features to the Galaxy S10 series and then brought some of them to the Galaxy Fold . Today, yet another feature that debuted on the Galaxy Note 10 is making its way to Samsung's foldable smartphone-cum-tablet. DeX on PC now supported on the Galaxy Fold The company has released a new update for the Galaxy Fold that adds support for Samsung DeX on PC. For those unaware, DeX on PC allows you to hook up your device to a Windows or Mac PC to use its software with a desktop interface with just a USB cable. This can be useful when you want to view content such as pictures or documents stored on your phone on a big screen, drag and drop files from your PC to your phone, or play a round of PUBG with your friends and show them who's boss
