What is a SIM Card? And How It Works! — Sim Card

All of as use SIM Card. These small pieces of plastic may not seem interesting to you, but in fact, few of you know that there is a processor inside, its own RAM and read-only memory, even its own operating system. You’ll know more about all these in slight detail nuances today.

An excursion into history!

At the beginning of the development of mobile phones and mobile networks, the operator identified the subscriber by the serial number of the device.

If you figure it out, this approach had a lot of disadvantages that caused inconvenience to the subscriber. One of the drawbacks, for example: if the subscriber changed the phone, then he had to come to the operator’s office without fail and flash your number into a new phone! Not only did you have to spend a lot of time on this, but the procedure was paid. that was very inconvenient. The sim card itself appeared with the development of mobile networks, and for the first time, its use was in 2G networks. The main task of the SIM card is to simplify the identification of the subscriber in the mobile operator’s network.

The SIM abbreviation itself is decrypted by SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE.

Nowadays, all SIM cards have several formats (mini-sim 1996, micro-sim 2003, micro-sim from 2012 to this day). So previously, everything was not as easy as it is today. Previously, the SIM card was the size with a bank card and was inserted into the phone as it is now. And the size was chosen for a reason, a SIM card is one of the varieties of smart cards that are used in various services. For example, in bank cards, access to satellite television and so on.

What is a SIM Card? And How It Works!, Different Types Of Sim Card — Different Types Of Sim Card

You can also find such cards in hotels or in enterprises where such cards are used as access keys. Currently, thanks to Apple, we have received such a huge variety of SIM cards. With the release of the iPhone 4, operators had to introduce.

But a year later, with the new generation of iPhone 5, the format of SIM cards was changed to Nano-SIM. As a consequence of this development, we have various adapters and standards for trimming SIM cards.

WARNING!

Never try to trim the SIM card yourself and you should not use adapters if it does not fit into the new device. This I say for a reason, but why: When the trimming was not done correctly, the sim card itself can get stuck in the smartphone, and thereby can damage the contact base when it is removed at home. But to avoid this, you need to contact the service center to safely remove it from the slot. This will save you from unnecessary expenses.

Contact your operator to replace the SIM card with a new standard or one that you need, and will take no more than 10 minutes of your time. The replacement procedure is free, but there is no repair for your device.

SIM card structure.

And now the most interesting thing is that it’s a microcomputer that works in a SIM card. I wrote at the beginning of the article that a SIM card has a processor, RAM and read-only memory, a module for a hardware random number generator and a hardware encryption module. If in simple and understandable words for you, it is almost a system on a chip, just a little more and not on a chip, but on aboard.

What is a SIM Card? And How It Works!

SIM card processor:

It receives power from a smartphone and operates at a frequency of 5 to 10 MHz, which seems to be very small by modern standards! But if you consider that earlier in universities the first computers occupied entire floors, and could not even give such power. But in a SIM card, the processor is the size of the eye of a needle, and it takes only some 10% of the total area of the SIM card.

SIM card memory:

That’s just the same memory occupies almost all the space and plays an important role. The memory is divided into several sectors where the user can store contacts, call log and SMS. A sector for operator data and a sector for an operating system with microprograms.

The most important sectors carry the technical information for identifying the subscriber in the operator’s network (IMSI – international mobile subscriber identity), this is a sequence of numbers that makes it possible not only to identify the subscriber and its owner in the network but also to find out which operator released it and from which country.

Thus, mobile operators can learn how to work with such a SIM card, what services can be provided to him and which are not, and with which number to register him in the network. Almost all of this information is stored in encrypted form, and in order to access it, you need to enter the so-called PIN 1 or PIN 2.

Operating system:

Like any computer, the SIM card has its own operating system with microprograms, it is stored in a separate sector of the memory card. The microprograms themselves are written in the JAVA programming language, and they, in turn, serve to implement additional services provided by the operator.

Maybe you still remember the times of push-button telephones, and so there was such a special Menu SIM, in which there were all kinds of services: horoscope, weather, news, and others. So there it is now on your smartphone, just find the application e SIM Toolkit and you will understand what I’m talking about – these are the very microprograms.

What to expect in the future?

There are most likely two options for event development:

When you just buy an empty SIM card (blank), download the application and write the operator’s data to the SIM card yourself. Thus, virtual operators and VSCA service work in the USA and Great Britain. Google also uses similar technology to build its own virtual network (PROJECT FI). Project FI virtual network subscribers can use the Internet in 120 countries using their SIM card.
Using eSIM (embedded Simcard) – built-in subscriber identity module. In this case, the need for a physical SIM card disappears, all operator data will be recorded in a specific memory area of your smartphone. As follows. They downloaded the application, bought a tariff plan and already on the network you are flashing all the necessary data and identifiers. Such a decision, in my opinion, was the most correct and promising in our time. By removing the physical SIM card, we give manufacturers the opportunity to expand their batteries or introduce other technologies.

Technologies do not stand still and some manufacturers have begun to introduce such technologies both in smartphones and in wearable electronics. The future is not far off. And I think you had to learn something new about such a familiar thing as a SIM card.

iPad Pro and MacBook coming with Mini-LED display in 2020

Apple iPad Pro and MacBook Pro event are already creating the environment for the launch of new products this month, But as noted by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that A apple is planning to release a high-end iPad and MacBook models with Mini-LED display between late 2020 and mid-2021. This means we will see a massive change in technology when Apple will push its display from LED to Mini-LED. Recent MacBook Pro still featuring best display but they already created display benchmark by releasing Mac Pro’s XDR displays which really features insane specs, Apple is trying to close these gap introduction of Mini-LED display’s.

In a research note for TF International Securities, seen by MacRumors, Kuo added that the iPad and MacBook display will use approximately 10,000 LEDs, compared to 576 in Apple’s upcoming Pro Display XDR. Mini Display LEDs are approximately 200 microns in size which will help Apple to push to that massive amount of LED into this package.

A report earlier from Kuo also said it is expecting that iPad models will have 10-12 inch and 15-17 inch display for MacBooks. Apple trying to push the boundary by going to maximum screen to size ratio and create less bezel display. By inclusion of Mini-LED may push the cost of iPad Pro and MacBook Pro models by far but the expectation of the price is still not set.

Apple already pioneering LCD display by creating the most accurate LCD display in iPhone 11, and also trying pushed the level of OLED display as Retinal XDR now also becomes a thing so Apple can make some more enhancement by the inclusion of Mini-LED displays. Although mass production of medium-sized OLED displays has gradually improved and the wide color gamut performance of OLED is comparable to that of Mini-LED, Kuo believes that Apple’s first choice will be Mini-LED because it does not have burn-in issues and reduce its dependence on Samsung for the supply of OLED displays.

Apple already investing in the vast majority of brands for its display production like LG or Japan Display for suppling display. LG Display will supply the Mini-LED display panels, while other Mini-LED component suppliers will include Epistar, Zhen Ding, Radiant Opto-Electronics, Nichia and so on according to Kuo.

By inclusion of Mini-LED it is expected that it will allow the display to be thinner and lighter product, while also offering good wide color gamut performance, high contrast, HDR, local dimming, which dims the backlight behind areas of the screen that are displaying black while keeping the bright parts of the screen bright and most effective on power as it will take less power. These things will help Apple to choose Mini-LED rather than OLED in the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro 2020. These devices will b in the market at around late 2020 or early 2021 in iPad Pro and MacBook Pro.

PIxelbook Go Announcement at Pixel Event 2019

Google Pixel event is simply amazing as we have seen many devices from Google on which they working but still some of the expected device was missing in the event. One of the eye-catching stuff in the event was Google Pixelbook Go.

This is almost Google’s third time to implement a laptop but they still not able to make clear what they really want to put through. We have recently seen Microsoft Surface devices from Surface Laptop, Surface Pro’s and all these devices are built for specific use cases but when we compare these devices along with Pixelbook it start to lags in every aspect where it stands.

This is not really the fault of the device but Google is responsible to made this device and it seems like they still not clear where to put this device as talking about first Pixel book it is and Touch Screen laptop which can be foldable for writing to any kind of doodle, while second approach is Google Pixel Slate which not able to make any dent to market as it more costly and does less as compared with competitions, now this time Google again jump back to clamshell design rather than making it 2-in-1. These rapid changes in design lure away the user to think about this device and what it can do. Now let’s talk about other features of the device one by one.

Google Personal Touch Design

PixelBook Go is designed to be a lighter as the device is made with magnesium rather than using aluminum because magnesium provides the same amount of toughness with less material required. The Go has a larger screen (13.3 inches), but it’s lighter (2.4 pounds), because of magnesium chassis. Google’s product team took me through what’s new, and why a more comfortable laptop experience was the most important goal this time around.

Google is trying to keep the ergonomics of the device best as possible as they are promising that Pixelbook Go give better typing experience, the new keyboard is designed to feel better than they already pretty good Pixelbook keys, and quieter. The touchpad of the device becomes larger but the gesture system of the device still lagging behind Windows or macOS.

Pixelbook Go Keyboard in Not so Pink Version

The color scheme of the device will arrive in two variant black and “not pink” which match last year Pixel 3.

Moving future for connectivity stills lagging

Pixelbook Go sports two USB-C ports which offer a 2-hour boost in 20 minutes so you can catch day to day work without spotting. USB-C support allows room for more possibilities as USB can now connect Displays, Hard Drives, Flash Drives and much more. USB-C is provided on both sides of the device so the user can easily charge the device without any issue.

The larger battery should last longer than those of previous Pixelbooks, too, 12 hours on a full charge according to Google. One thing which Google can include an extendable option by providing a place to plug microSD or SD card which helps the user to carry data on the device more convenient than ever and increase the space of the device.

Specs option high still behind

Pixelbook Go starts from $649 for Intel Core M3 eighth-gen processor which is decent but lags behind from other competitor’s CPU. While as the price increase there is an option to opt for Core i5 and Core i7 which make the price of the device whopping approx. $1399 with 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM. There’s a 4K display upgrade, too, which also costs extra.

Google made the device security powered with the Titan-C security chip which was the same as last year’s Titan M chip in Google Pixel 3, which provides device protection while the user is using it.

Pixelbooks are having good hardware but the amount of software used on the device really made these specs upgrade a waste as many applications like Microsoft’s Office PC: Edition, Adobe Desktop, and various other professional applications won’t work on the device. While Google making an approach to support its own Office apps to work on the device natively while Android Studio now also supports Chromebook with some configuration condition works seamlessly on the device.

So these are some features of Google Pixelbook Go about that you should be aware, Pre-Orders also get started and device will be shipped by 28 Oct. Talking about all configuration of the device Core m3 8GB RAM and 64GB SSD start with $649, while Core i5 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD costs around $849, while Core i5 16GB RAM and 128GB SSD costs around $999 and the most expensive model with Core i7 16GB RAM 256GB storage costs around $1399.

Our human eye can see visible light or a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The human eye cannot see any types of radiation like ultraviolet light or infrared light. Infrared energy is just one part of the electromagnetic spectrum that encompasses radiation from x-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet, and a thin region of visible light, radio waves infrared, and microwaves. With the help of the thermographic camera, we can determine the temperature of an object, infrared radiation is used. So today we will know about Thermal imaging or Thermographic camera.

Thermography: Imaging Beyond Naked Eye Could See — Electromagnetic Spectrum

What is Thermography?

Infrared thermography technique uses infrared imaging to detect, display thermal patterns and temperature across the surface of an object. Thermography can be applied to any situation where any type of thermal temperature will provide meaning data about a system or object. It is the types of equipment which sense infrared radiation by converting it into temperature and displays an image of temperature distribution.

How Does Thermal Imaging Work?

The main function of Thermal cameras is to detect the temperature by recognizing and capturing different levels of infrared light. This type of light is invisible that our naked eye can’t see, but can be felt as heat if the intensity is high enough.

Almost all object except some kind of infrared radiation, and it’s one of the ways that heat is transferred. If you hold your hand over some hot coals on the grill, those coals are emitting a ton of infrared radiation, and the heat is transferring to your hand. Furthermore, about half of the sun’s energy is ultraviolet and infrared light.

Thermal cameras can see this heat and convert it to an image that we can then see with our eyes, almost like a night vision camera that captures invisible light and convert it into an image.

How Thermal Imaging Camera Works?

Let us understand the working of the thermal imaging camera.
Infrared energy coming from an object is focused by optics onto an infrared detector.
The detector sends this received information to a sensor for image processing using complex algorithms.
The sensor translates this data into an image that can be viewed on the LCD screen of the thermal imaging camera.
Each pixel of the image is the measure of temperature at different points. For example, if the resolution of an image by the camera is 60 x 60 pixels, then it is equivalent to the use of about 3600 Infrared thermometers used simultaneously.

Advantages Of Thermal Imaging

Following are the benefits or advantages of Thermal Imaging :

This technology has created a more efficient and safer method of measurement.
Regular predictive maintenance using thermal imaging products help in saving money and consecutively lower the costs. This is due to less downtime, power outages, production losses, fires, etc.
Thermal imaging products provide fast and accurate measurements of objects which are difficult to touch/to reach such as high-altitude power lines.
Thermal imaging allows very accurate temperature measurements of machines from distance and in running condition. This running machine is very hot and dangerous to contact. Moreover, it cannot be turned off until production is completed.
It can help in identifying air leakages, documenting irregular heat dispersion and identifying possible irregularities in insulation.

Conclusion

Thermography is the way to see and measure heat. This procedure is used as a thermal image for display, detect thermal patterns and temperatures across the surface of an object. In this thread, we know the principle of thermography and how thermal image is processed in-camera via the optical system, thermal detectors, scanning mechanism, and display. In the future, the focus on infrared thermography should be on more sensitive and fast IR cameras together with powerful computers that make it possible to manage even more complex and efficient algorithms and larger data matrices. So, this is the conclusion of Thermography along with their advantages and disadvantages.

Apple In-House 5G Modem Will Appear By 2022

Apple In-House 5G Modem Will Appear By 2022

5G smartphones are all around the market and most of the companies are offering you like Samsung, Motorola or OnePlus smartphones with 5G pre-built but one of the most innovating smartphones still lagging behind to adopt this technology, yes iPhone still not featured with 5G modem inside, which made competitors move ahead from Apple. 5G technology still not able to prove its capabilities as we have seen speeds like Gigabit in a smartphone but this speed is not consistent, also makes smartphone hotter which is due to drop off the band while 5G coverage is still in few cities in the U.S. around certain hotspots which results in poor coverage while roaming.

Apple recently buys Intel’s Modem business which helps Apple to take leverage Intel’s running project on 5G modem, it is expected that iPhone will release a 5G iPhone in 2020 which will be using Qualcomm modems, but their in-house chipset will not be ready until 2022, as this is confirmed from a report of “Fast Company”.

A report earlier this year from Reuters hinted that Apple has plans to ship iPhones with its own modems as soon as late 2021, but it only takes a small slip-up for that timeline to be delayed to 2022 – in line with the Fast Company reports.

The report further explains that the process of designing and manufacturing a new modem will be a laborious task. As the chipset is made by Apple they at-least find a vendor which will provide the chipset according to Apple’s standards. In addition to fabricating a functioning chip, Apple will then have to go through lengthy certification and FCC approvals.

In fact, bringing a new modem to the finish line in two years is really pushing it, my source said. After all the design work is done, and the fabrication of the chips themselves is underway, an arduous testing and certification process still awaits.
Apple will have to put the modem through network optimization testing to make sure it plays nice with the carriers’ wireless networks. The modem must be tested to ensure compliance with global standards, and undergo another battery of tests to satisfy FCC requirements.

By reading this source it will confirm that the iPhone in 2023 will feature this chipset. The current-gen. iPhone features Apple’s own system-on-a-chip which includes CPU, GPU, RAM, and other key components. This manufacturing technique gives Apple an upper hand toward optimizations of power which result in optimum performance of iPhone’s

Apple stills in partnership with Intel for modem business as Apple’s latest iPhone 11 and 11 Pro feature Intel modems. All the Intel modem were directly integrated with Apple’s own A-series chipset.

So all these will give the result that Apple will produce its own 5G modem until 2023 but as 5G technology is growing day by day Apple need to add 5G modem into 2020 iPhone and most promising partner will be Qualcomm as Apple has recently made multi-billion dollar settlement deal with Qualcomm, which has a terms of six years and an option to extend. But Qualcomm is not only options for Apple to bring 5G into a smartphone as Huawei and Media-Tek also made their own version of 5G modem.

iPhone SE 2 May Have 3GB RAM & iPhone 8 Reflection

Apple iPhone 11 sale is on top-chart in every country in which they launched the product and it seems that this lineup of iPhone will let Apple bring back its crown of being the top smartphone vendor. Apple already pushing its shipments of all the iPhone lineups than expected to meet the overgrowing demands. But Apple has to compete with low-prices smartphone markets and Apple’s iPhone SE is one of the best-priced smartphones which is still able to run on Apple’s latest iOS 13 software, Apple is planning to bring another iteration of iPhone SE called as “iPhone SE 2” in the first quarter of 2020, according to noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

iPhone SE 2 May Have 3GB RAM & iPhone 8 Reflection, iPhone SE 2019 Design Leaks And Rumor — iPhone SE 2019 Render Image

But this time Apple is planning to go a bit further with this smartphone as according to a research note with TF International Securities, Kuo said that the device will feature similar form factors as of iPhone 8, but from inside it will be powered by A13 Bionic Chipset and 3GB of RAM. This specification will really outperform from many low priced smartphones in the industry and Apple could bring back a low price but the best iPhone in the markets.

Apple is planning to launch this product in the spring of 2020, they may announce a special event in March of 2020. iPhone SE 2 will likely help Apple to increase some market share in growing countries, according to report it is expected that Apple could reach 30-40 mn units in 2020. Kuo believes the “iPhone SE 2” will be the “best upgrade choice” for an estimated 100 million remaining iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users, serving as a “key growth driver” for Apple in 2020. Kuo also believes that customer has low desire for high-end features like multiple camera or FaceID, so Apple may stick to TouchID and a single camera lens.

Pricing of iPhone SE 2 will be more crucial for Apple as they already are in the market with iPhone XR for $599 and iPhone 11 $699 with all those high-end features so convincing users to buy iPhone SE 2 at price of $400 will be much harder.

What is Chromium? How the Chromium web browser is different from Chrome

We are back with yet another exciting yet informative thread for you guys this time we will be discussing everything about the Chromium browser. Chromium…sounds like something on the Periodic Table (it is) or something superheroes would use to defeat their enemies. Fun fact: it’s also a browser that sounds a lot like Google’s Chrome. And funny enough, the two are quite closely related in certain ways.

What Is Chromium?

Chromium is an open source web browser run by the Chromium Project, first released in 2008. Any developer can modify or update the source code (but only small number of Chromium devs can actually add their very own code).

And Chromium has a rather active community of contributors supporting it. Because of this the browser is updated often, which is great. Its different parts are registered under various different licenses, like the BSD License (for the parts written by Google – more on that below) and MIT, LGPL, and others for the rest.

What Is Chrome?

Chrome is Google’s web browser. The devs at Google develop, maintain, and release it. But here’s a cool fact: Chrome is built on top of Chromium’s open-source code.

So how does this work? Well, Google devs take that Chromium code and build their own, proprietary features on top of it. Which gives us Chrome. So Chrome has some extra features like auto-updating, browser data tracking, and native support for Flash.

Some of these features are helpful, and some (like data tracking) make developers nervous.

How They’re Similar

Since Google’s Chrome is actually built on top of Chromium’s source code they share the same bones, as we’ve already established. Their logos are also quite similar. Chrome’s is Google-themed multi-color, and Chromium’s is a few shades of blue. But you’re probably far more concerned with the differences, so let’s take a look at them.

The Biggest Differences Between Chromium and Chrome

They Handle Updates Differently

Chromium updates all the time since devs are constantly modifying the source code. The trouble (or cool thing?) is, you need to manually update the browser as it won’t update on its own. Chrome, on the other hand, updates automatically every so often. So, you don’t have to remember to update your browser. But it doesn’t update nearly as often as Chromium.

So, if you want to see the latest and greatest source code from the Chromium Project right when it’s out, then it’s best to use the Chromium browser.

Privacy Concerns

Sure, Chrome is super easy to use. But if Chrome is your browser of choice, Google will be tracking your info. Chromium doesn’t do this. If this makes you uncomfortable, but you still like Chrome as a browser, perhaps Chromium is a better option for you. Your privacy will be more protected but you still get the Chromium source code-based experience.

Support For Adobe Flash

Google Chrome has built-in support for Adobe’s Flash player. But since Flash’s code isn’t open source the Chromium project won’t use it. So if you use Chromium and want to enable Flash, you have to jump through some hoops. Do note, however, that since Flash is being phased out as of 2020 in favor of HTML5 this shouldn’t be a huge deal in the near future.

My Kingdom For A Codec

What is a codec, you might ask? A codec (combo of code and decode) is a computer program that converts between analog and digital sound while compressing and shrinking large file formats. Since music and video files are huge, codecs were created to encode (or shrink down) those files and then decode them when ready for viewing or editing.

So why do we need these? If you’ve had a long week and just want to Netflix and chill this evening, you’ll need those codecs to allow that content to play. While Chrome comes with built-in media codecs (like AAC, H.264, and MP3), Chromium does not. Therefore, if you want to stream/binge watch some shows, you’ll either need to use Chrome or install those codecs manually in Chromium.

Google Play Store Vs Outside Extensions

If you want to download an extension in Chrome you can only do so from the Google Play Store (on Mac and Windows). If you want to get your hands on some outside extensions you have to enable developer mode.

If you’re using Chromium, on the other hand, feel free to grab any extensions you want.

Security Sandbox Mode

When you’re using plug-ins in Chrome the browser limits their functionality so that they can only perform the function for which you downloaded them. That is, they’re “sandboxed” or constrained just to that purpose. Chrome restricts these plugins automatically for you. This is usually a good thing for security reasons. But Chromium doesn’t always have sandbox mode enabled right off the bat. You can learn more about that here.

Which Browser Is Right For You?

In the end, it depends on what you want out of your browsing experience. If you want a simple out-of-the-box browser that doesn’t require a lot of attention, Chrome might be for you. But if you have privacy concerns and don’t mind digging in and doing some work, Chromium could provide a rewarding experience.

Microsoft finally stunned the audience by the inclusion of their new Surface lineup having two new categories of devices along with some refresh models. Some of these devices were already expected from leaks but other devices were really amaze the audience and must need to know about.

Microsoft started the event with some usual Surface story about their accessibility feature in Windows and Surface devices, as they grew deeper and deeper into the event we see some change into the shift of Microsoft Surface strategy to bring innovation to mobility. Microsoft also created a dilemma for high-end Surface users to choose the device.

New Surface devices also clear user thoughts about the shift in computing and Microsoft’s approach toward future technology adoption as Microsoft will be going to release this device in early 2020. So let dive into each devices and understand it from Microsoft’s perspective.

Surface Laptop 3 (Necessary & Needed Update)

Surface Laptop 3 has got a necessary update like a new processor from Intel which is 10th Gen. Processor, along with the processor update Microsoft also added the option for user swappable storage the device directly without having to perform tedious repair procedure. User can update the storage of device pretty easily, Surface Laptop 3 now feature metal housing also which made the device more premium in looks. As these updates are necessary but Microsoft tends toward Apple’s MacBook Pro design approach.

One of the most expected features that Microsoft listened is the inclusion of Type-C port into the device which is one of the necessary updates, now the user can connect two 4K displays simultaneously. Another feature of the device is some aesthetic approaches not have changed in the device overall.

Now the new Surface Laptop 3 also features a 15-inch version that will have AMD CPU option only, which is really amazing as the user wanted to use AMD processor in high tech piece of laptop and Microsoft finally provides this opportunity. 15-inch version also powers with AMD’s Ryzen GPU which really gives these devices a giant leap in Graphics performance. Pricing of the device starts from $999 for the 13-inch Fabric model and $1,299 for the 13-inch Metal model, while the 15-inch version costs around $1,499 for the Metal model and fabric model is not available in this.

Surface Pro 7 (Need More Changes)

Surface Pro 7 only upgraded some internal changes without any new approach to design or features. The device will now powers with Intel 10th Gen. CPU which makes the device more energy-efficient as well as powerful. The device now features Type-C port option that made the device to connect to power demanding hardware, now as the industry is shifting toward Type-C more and more powerful hardware are in progress, Microsoft finally listens to their user’s demands as they almost get late to adopt this feature for up to 4 years. While another improvement to Surface Pro 7 not much amazing, but this device is really far better than current-gen. iPad Pro, but still Apple’s Pencil is far more accurate as compared to Surface Pen while using and doing other stuff.

While talking about connectivity features like new Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 also present on the device. You can now preorder the device from today from $749 for Core i3 128GB SSD up to $2,299 for Core i7 1TB SSD.

Surface Pro X

Surface Pro X comes with the more demanding feature of the Surface device which should be present in Surface Pro 7, thinner bezel, more accurate display, slimmer form factor, new Surface Pen and another fine refinement.

Microsoft really reduces gap between Apple’s iPad and Surface device with announcement of Surface Pro X as artist can use more accurate display from Microsoft to fill their canvas, Microsoft also add more feature to Surface Pen so it can measure precise pressure level and accurate angle, but you need to charge the device, Microsoft gives a gap inside the keyboard case of Surface Pro X so user can hold the Surface Pen easily.

Surface Pro X also reminds us about Surface RT which is the first step towards ARM processor for Windows 10 but that time Surface RT really faces set back because of its performance but this time whole Windows 10 is made for the ARM processor, Microsoft uses Qualcomm Chipset along with their tincture called this combination as SQ1 chipset. This processor is different from the 8CX Qualcomm processor as it can be capable of 9 teraflops of AI performance which is a really huge improvement, as AI on Chipset allows more easy tasks like taking pictures, text recognition and various other AI task to run faster than ever. Users can also use the user Surface Pro X on go as 4G integration on this device is also possible by Qualcomm so that LTE speeds will be more reliable. You can get the device by 5th Nov, starting from $1,099 for 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage to $1,899 for 16GB and 512GB version.

Surface Buds

After the failed start of Surface Headphone, Microsoft now tries to enter the world of True wireless buds, but it does not look much attractive like AirPods or Galaxy Buds, while some features of the device are really stunning for the audience.

Including, Touch control of the device makes it more user-friendly than its competitors are a usual command like skipping or assistant triggering works but other works like swiping slide show or apps based feature will make this device more intuitive. The battery life of Surface Bud is same as of other for whole day battery life (Along with case), while the user can charge the device with its case.

Surface buds can also be connect with other devices like Android and Microsoft devices simultaneously without any issue. Price is one of the factors which made this device not mass adoption as a device priced at $249.

Surface Duo & Neo

These devices are telling the possibility of what Microsoft may approach for future devices. Microsoft finally showing innovation in Hardware also as we know “People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware” and Microsoft really stepping ahead.

Surface Duo Foldable Android Microsoft Phone

Microsoft Duo device is an Android-powered device that will run Microsoft skinned version, but the user can use Android apps without any issue. We were expecting Microsoft Andromeda but unfortunately, our expectation wouldn’t reach that much but Android smartphone from Microsoft will really lure Microsoft geeks. Windows 10 latest integration of calling and screen sharing feature really reduces the gap between these two distinct technologies so making the Android version of Surface can lure the market user. Microsoft pushes the boundary with its phenomenal design as a foldable smartphone vision of Surface is far better than Galaxy fold plasticky screen which still not get fixed. Unfortunately, the device will be available in Holiday of 2020 as Microsoft doesn’t share much detail about the device.

Surface Neo Launch at Surface 2019 Event

Microsoft Neo is a foldable tablet that is powered with Windows 10x version which is a slimmed-down version of Windows 10, made compatible with Neo experience. As Microsoft tries to lure more and more developer to provide an API so that they can build application which can be used natively on the device. Microsoft made the design of Surface Neo the same as Surface Duo with the larger 9-inch dual display which can be folded. But these are only public prototype versions as the final edition of both of these devices will be available around late 2020.

So here are whole coverage of Microsoft Surface event from its roots devices like Surface Pro 7 or Surface Laptop to future innovation like Surface Neo and Surface Duo.

10 Ways to Fix To Bluetooth Not Working in Windows

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that lets you connect devices together. On Windows 10, you can use Bluetooth to pair keyboards, phones, speakers, and more. Bluetooth is great when it works, but you might encounter problems when trying to pair your device to a Windows 10 system. We’re going to show you how to fix those pairing problems.

1. Check If Your Device Has Bluetooth

This might sound silly, but it’s easy to mistakenly assume that a device has Bluetooth. Check the product specifications of your device—look for the Bluetooth logo on the packaging. If you can’t find any reference to it, chances are it doesn’t support Bluetooth and instead needs to be connected via Wi-Fi or cable. If it’s your Windows 10 computer that doesn’t have Bluetooth, don’t worry. You can buy a cheap Bluetooth adapter that is small and fits into a USB slot.

2. Ensure Bluetooth is Enabled

Your device won’t necessarily have Bluetooth enabled by default.

On Windows 10, press Window key + A to open the Action Center. Ensure that the Bluetooth tile is highlighted and on. If it isn’t, click on the tile to enable it. If you don’t see the Bluetooth tile, click Expand. While you’re here, double-check that Flight mode is disabled because this turns Bluetooth off.
Alternatively, press Windows key + I to open Settings and go to Devices Bluetooth & other devices and slide Bluetooth to On.
The device you want to pair will have its own method to enable it, so check its documentation. It may even have a physical switch to turn Bluetooth on.

3. Double Check the Bluetooth Service Status

Bluetooth is a service on Windows 10. That service should turn on as part of the processes above. But it’s always best to check again.
Press Windows key + R to open Run and input services.msc. The list is sorted by alphabetical Name, so look for all those that begin with Bluetooth.
Double click each and check the Service status. If it shows as Stopped, click Start to get it going.

4. Make Your System Discoverable

System Discoverable of bluetooth in Windows 10

Confusingly, Windows 10 settings are still fragmented, and this is also true of Bluetooth.
The setting to make your PC discoverable to other Bluetooth devices is not where you might expect. Press Windows key + I and go to Devices More Bluetooth options.
Tick Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC and click OK. This shouldn’t be necessary if you want to pair something like a mouse or keyboard, but can be helpful to pair devices like phones.

5. Reposition Your Device

Bluetooth has a limited range. The specific value varies, but in a home setting, it’s roughly ten meters. That can be greatly reduced by physical barriers like walls.
As such, make sure that the device you want to pair to your computer is turned on, fully charged, and in close range to your Windows 10 system.
Also, make sure it isn’t too close to another device using a USB 3.0 port. Unshielded USB devices can occasionally interfere with Bluetooth connections.

6. Disable Other Bluetooth Devices

Technically, you shouldn’t need to disable other Bluetooth devices, but they might be causing interference when you try to pair a new device.
To disable them, press Windows key + I to open Settings and click Devices. In turn, click each Bluetooth device and click Remove device Yes.
Of course, remember to pair these devices again if you still need them.

7. Read the Event Log

In June 2019, Microsoft patched Windows 10 to protect from a Bluetooth security vulnerability. However, this caused some Bluetooth devices to suffer connectivity issues.

You can see if this is impacting you. Press Windows key + X and click Event Viewer. Beneath Summary of Administrative Events, expand Error and look for the following:
Event ID: 22
Event Source: BTHUSB or BTHMINI
Name: BTHPORT_DEBUG_LINK_KEY_NOT_ALLOWEDEvent Message Text: Your Bluetooth device attempted to establish a debug connection. The Windows Bluetooth stack does not allow debug connection while it is not in the debug mode.
If you see this, Microsoft recommends contacting the manufacturer of your Bluetooth device to see if they’ve made a patch. If not, you may need to buy a new Bluetooth device entirely.

8. Check for Windows Updates

It’s best to keep Windows up to date to benefit from the latest features and security patches. This can help resolve problems with Bluetooth.

Windows 10 will automatically update, but you can manually check for and install updates. To do this, press Windows key + I to open Settings. Go to Update & Security and click Check for updates.
Your system will either be running the latest version already, or it will begin to download and install new patches.

9. Update the Drivers

Your Bluetooth drivers may be outdated. This will often be the case if you recently updated Windows 10.

To check for driver updates, press Windows key + X and click Device Manager. Expand Bluetooth and right-click the adapter.
Click Update driver Search automatically for updated driver software. Follow the instructions. Once the driver has updated, restart your system.
If this process doesn’t find any drivers, double-check your manufacturer’s website and download it from there. If it’s an EXE file, open it up and follow the instructions.
Alternatively, it’s another format, like INF or SYS, follow the instructions above to update via Device Manager, but select Browse my computer for driver software when prompted. Browse to what you just downloaded, select the location, click OK, then Next to see the wizard to the end. Restart your computer when done.

10. Run the Bluetooth Troubleshooter

Windows 10 has a built-in Bluetooth troubleshooter. This will detect any problems and automatically try to repair them.

To run it, press Windows key + I to open Settings and go to Update & Security Troubleshoot Bluetooth Run the troubleshooter. Follow the instructions.
It should fix any problems it finds, but some of them might require your manual action.

Let's Understanding The Hype: 48 MP & 64 MP Camera

Today in the era of smartphone phone there is race of camera megapixels for the better image so let’s understand the difference in megapixels in smartphones. The megapixel race is on, now that the Redmi Note 8 Pro is the first smartphone in the market with a 64MP camera. Where do we go next? As we have seen that recently, smartphone cameras have undergone major improvements in image processing, as well as the inclusion of better and affordable multiple-lens systems. As the race to develop better imaging quality continues, we’re also seeing several other trends emerging in the smartphone imaging space.

Difference In Megapixels Carry Many Features Which We will Discuss Below In Detail

So, on to the main topic of this thread, what’s the difference between 64MP and 48MP? Samsung released its latest breakthrough in mobile photography with its 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 & updated 48MP ISOCELL Bright GM2 sensor. Meanwhile, Sony’s stacked CMOS design in the IMX586 is a leap in image quality by dramatically increasing the resolution to 48 effective megapixels (8000 x 6000).

As we have witnessed, Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with a 64MP camera while Redmi Note 8 with the 48MP camera. Samsung’s 64MP GW1 sensor uses 4-in-1 pixel merging TetraCell technology to merge four 0.8 micron pixels into a single 1.6-micron pixel to offer detailed images in low light conditions. In addition to that, it supports DCG dynamic ISO technology, which intelligently adjusts ISO sensitivity based on ambient light intensity.

In a high-brightness environment, it uses low ISO, and in a low-light environment, it uses high ISO to achieve the best signal-noise ratio for the entire scene. It can also shoot raw 64MP photos with the main sensor. Meanwhile, both the GM2 and IMX586 have a 48MP monochrome sensor with Tetracell and Quad Bayer (4 in 1 Bayer) Filter respectively for their RGB that’s both defaults to 12MP output. The only difference is the way both sensors the pixel array to create the 48MP images.

The biggest difference between 64MP and 48MP is that 64MP has 34% more pixels over 48MP meaning far more detail is captured in each image. But regardless of this, both the 64MP module in the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the 48MP in the Redmi Note 8 are class-leading, capturing super-detailed images with a great dynamic range and accurate colors.

Another benefit of a 64MP high-resolution camera is it can output larger size pictures. This means you can zoom in to the picture and crop it without compromising quality. Here is a shot that will amaze you – the detail retained around the owl’s eye once we zoom in is incredible!

Difference In Megapixels In Resolution — Difference In Megapixels in 48 MP & 64 MP Camera Resolution

As for the future, through a close collaboration between Xiaomi and Samsung, the ISOCELL Bright HMX was developed which captures images in 108MP, a resolution equivalent to that of a high-end DSLR camera which Samsung has unveiled.

I hope so this article will help you to understand the basic complexity of differences in megapixels in a simplified manner if you still have any queries comment us below we will love to solve that. For more basic information related to tech stay tune with Tech Awareness.
