Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Worth the Wait?

The leaked information about the Galaxy Note 9 don’t bring something new to the table. However, Samsung has confirmed that it will worth the wait.

According to the newspaper The Korea Herald, Gray G. Lee, head of the AI Center Under Samsung Research, announced that Galaxy Note 9 will have Bixby 2.0 as the smart assistant. Given the fact that last year users ridiculed Bixby on the Galaxy S8, Lee praised the new feature and said it will enhance enhances the performance and user experience, natural language processing and that it will improve noise resistance capability and faster response times.

However, Samsung has failed to keep up with its competitors – Google, Amazon and Apple – regarding artificial intelligence, but is now regaining strength. Lee characterized Bixby 2.0. as an “artificial intelligence platform”, expecting it to run on 14 million Samsung devices by the end of the year. Moreover, the company now has 1,000-strong AI workforce and will step up the game with involving itself with artificial intelligence businesses.

If the arguments above are not convincing enough, a mysterious leaker who goes by the name Ice Universe stated on Twitter that the Galaxy Note 9 will have a UX design that will be interactive for the users which they will benefit from. He went even further to say that we can call the new product Crown UX. It is worth to mention that Ice Universe has been the Galaxy Note 9’s biggest critic in recent weeks, so to read such a statement praising the product makes the launch more intriguing as it was before.

Samsung has had problems with the software before, so an improvement is welcomed. However, there is still a problem with the Galaxy Note 9 hardware. We won’t have to wait long to find out it the software will make-up for this feature.

iOS 12 Update: Instagram and New Improvements

On Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference held on June 4, Apples announced that they will target security and reliability for their future phone models. I made a list of features that I would like to be seen on my new iPhone version.

Clear those annoying notifications

This should be the main feature because everyone wants to feel free to choose how they want their notifications to be kept. Also, unsubscribing for those annoying notifications would be an important step. I think we could do that simply from a settings icon. More precisely, Apple should borrow this idea from Android, at least in that area.

No Instagram feeling

When I enter the Photo app, I want to see my iCloud Library too. This should be automatically synchronized with my albums.  The albums are generated by the time, the size, the location. It is not fun anymore. I want to see my recent photos from a launch view, with a lot of options for sharing with those we love.

Also, I want to put filters on my photos and play new highlighters with them, without entering the gallery every time. A distinct application for these features would be a great victory in this battle with boring photos.

Silent phone all day long

For now, I would like my calls to be filtered while I am driving. I do not want to receive calls for everyone, just for my friends and family, if it is something urgent. This behavior can be chosen in the night version of “Do not disturb”, so let’s make it possible for the drive mode, too.

Also, at nights it might happen that someone from the approved list to call me. I would like to answer, because for sure it’s an emergency. This control upon my notifications would be a dream for the “Do not Disturb” feature.

How Will GTA 6 Surprise Us?

GTA 6 is definitely one of the most anticipated games in the history of gaming. After the success of GTA 5, the expectations are quite high. However, there aren’t any official details available yet, which means that we have to rely on rumours and speculations.

We managed to gather some of the most exciting ones and we are here to share them with you. Here are some things that we can expect in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game.

Vice City might be back

Some rumours seem to indicate that Vice City might make a comeback in Grand Theft Auto 6. Since the game series started there, it would be a nice touch to take us back to the beginning, while also offering us an enhanced version of Vice City.

Female characters

Having a female character is something that fans wanted for a long time. We had some great male heroes, but it might be time for a change. In fact, we did not even have female supporting characters since Grand Theft Auto 3.

Rockstar considered this option in the past, and this might finally be the moment when the company takes this decision. There is a chance that they decide to surprise us and come up with a female lead character.

New consoles

There is a chance that we will be playing Grand Theft Auto 6 on some upcoming consoles. According to the rumours, Rockstar might wait to release the game until after Microsoft and Sony will have released their latest consoles.

Removed songs

 

The FM station from GTA will be removed. Rockstar representatives explained that due “to music licensing restrictions, we are required to remove certain songs from the in-game soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto IV and its Episodes, in particular a large portion of the Russian pop station, Vladivostok FM.”
