Samsung promises next-gen mobile batteries are on the way

Newly published search from Samsung Electronics could lead to smartphone battery life that's double what it is on today's handsets, Business Korea reports. You may have to go through the nightly charging ritual for a while yet though: Samsung says the technology is still two or three years away from being used in commercial products. Today's lithium-ion batteries are getting close to the limit of their usefulness, with larger batteries pretty much the only remaining way to improve longevity. Samsung's researchers have been focusing on the cathode part of the battery — the part that receives the charge — and think that by replacing the graphite in today's packs with graphene-coated silicon they can produce batteries that last a lot longer. Related: Google is secretly working on better battery technology There are many different groups working on the battery life problem, and it's an incredibly complicated area of science.

Smartphone war: Samsung to launch 10 devices in the next quarter in Rs 9,000-18,000 segment

KOLKATA: Samsung Electronics Company, the world's biggest seller of smartphones, is planning its biggest blitzkrieg of launches in India in the next quarter in a bid to fend off local and Chinese rivals in the mid-segment category. The South Korean company will introduce 10 smartphones in the July-September quarter in theRs 9,000 to Rs 18,000 segment, where it is embroiled in a fierce battle for market share with Micromax Informatics, Lenovo-Motorola and Xiaomi. According to some research companies, the rivalry led to a drop in Samsung's market share in the high-stakes mid-segment in 2014. Over the past few quarters, Samsung has launched mostly variants of older models such as Galaxy Grand and Galaxy Core in this segment, which have failed to stand up to competition. The new strategy is championed by Samsung India president HyunChil Hong, who took over in December. Smartphones account for 70% of the company's revenue in India. This will be Samsung's largest rollout of u

Smartphones could interfere with pacemakers, new study shows

A recent study has added to increasing evidence that those with pacemakers should keep a reasonable distance (somewhere between six and eight inches) between them and their smartphone devices. According to Tech Times, this warning was issued because smartphones can cause both pauses in a pacemaker's function as well as painful shocks in the wearer. This occurs when pacemakers mistake the electromagnetic interference (EMI) that comes with smartphones as cardiac signals. When this happens, the pacemakers stop working, pausing the cardiac rhythm. This pause in rhythm can then lead to fainting. However, when this happens to implantable cardioverter defribillators (ICDs) that pause is read similarly to ventricular tachyarrhythmia, and the devices delivers a very painful shock. Each of these problems can be inconvenient, and at times painful, but are no immediate cause to stop using phones. Rather, those with pacemakers just have to be more aware of this problem, and understand whe

Samsung keyboard security flaw: The time has come to end bloatware

At least 600 million Samsung users are still at risk due to a major security flaw that opens up photos, messages, phone calls and a slew of other personal data to attackers. The company has still not issued a fix (though it says one is coming soon) for the vulnerability, which stems from the way the company used third-party software. The fact that the biggest Android manufacturer in the world put its users at risk for so long highlights a much bigger problem within the Android ecosystem: bloatware. All those extra apps that come pre-loaded on our phones are not only annoying eyesores. They often open us up to potential security threats. If Lenovo's Superfish fiasco has taught us anything it's that bloatware needs to go once and for all. Manufacturers and carriers need to give us back control over the apps on our phones. What is bloatware Bloatware refers to software that comes preloaded on a device that often can't be manually removed by the device owner. This

Samsung releases app to fix notification toggle bug

Samsung Samsung Galaxy S6 (Black version) When Samsung launched its newest smartphone flagships, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, fans of the Korea-based tech giant immediately loved their sleek design and high-end specs.

Users immediately found out about the bug since one of the new features of these models is the conveniently-located quick settings toggle. Samsung has already announced that it is working on the problem. The company has suggested that users try backing up their data first and then doing a factory reset. In addition, most tech observers say that one quick fix to the pro

Samsung Keyboard Bug Leaves 600m Android Devices Exposed to Hackers

A vulnerability in Samsung's Android keyboard installed on over 600m devices worldwide could allow hackers to take full control of the smartphone or tablet. The security bug revolves around the update mechanism of the built-in keyboard, which looks for language updates for trending phrases either daily or weekly. "The keyboard was signed with Samsung's private signing key and runs in one of the most privileged contexts on the device, system user, which is a notch short of being root," said researcher Ryan Welton from security company NowSecure who discovered the hole. The problem was discovered last year. NowSecure told Samsung about the bug in December. Samsung asked NowSecure to keep the discovery under wraps until it could patch the problem. Google's Android security team was also notified. However, six months on it is unclear whether the patch is out. Samsung started that process in early 2015, but unlike Apple's direct model of software updates, is behold

Swiftkey Vulnerability In Samsung Galaxy Phones Puts 600 Mn Devices At Risk

As per a report from security firm NowSecure (via Forbes), a critical vulnerability in the SwiftKey keyboard app that comes preloaded on some Samsung's Galaxy series could allow an attacker to remotely tap into GPS, camera and microphone, eavesdrop on text messages, calls and more. During the Black Hat London presentation  of Abusing Android Apps and Gaining Remote Code Execution, NowSecure mobile security researcher Ryan Welton said that over 600 million Samsung mobile devices are vulnerable to an attack that is highly reliable, completely silent, and affects all devices. As explained by security firm, the default SwiftKey keyboard app can be used by a potential attacker to remotely execute code as a privileged user. What may bing a sigh if relief is that attackers will be able to hack a phone only if the handset is connected to an insecure Wi-Fi network. Once done, hacker can gain access to GPS coordinates, the camera, or the microphone, installing malicious apps with

India 'the new China' for smartphone makers

In terms of technology, most of the smartphones sold in India are still 3G, with 3G penetration currently less than 10 percent. This is about four years behind China's adoption of 3G and also well below the level of other large, emerging Asian markets, Li added. And smartphones are still mainly distributed through retail channels, rather than by network operators, because almost 70 percent of the Indian population lives in rural areas where networks have a smaller presence . Read MoreMeeker bullish on India's Internet economy "Going forward the operator channel is expected to remain insignificant compared with China and developed markets," he said. While online sales are developing rapidly, with smartphone makers partners with e-commerce platforms such as Amazon India and Flipkart, low internet penetration and weak logistics infrastructure mean growth will be limited. Who's best positioned? Given the market's characteristics, local and Chinese lo

South Korea's Lee dynasty is facing the biggest test of its iron grip since starting Samsung

Paul SakumaSamsung Electronics Co. Chief Operating Officer Lee Jae-yong arrives at the Allen and Company Sun Valley Conference. In South Korea, a country where the chaebol – the country's four largest family conglomerates – virtually controls the national economy, one corporate dynasty is the most powerful of all. The chaebol has exerted a firm grip since the end of the Korean war when it was instrumental in rebuilding the ravaged economy and turning it into one of the most powerful in Asia. Since then, Samsung has become so huge that it is estimated to account for between a fifth and a quarter of Korea's GDP, leaving its rival chaebols Hyundai, LG, and SK, in its wake. This colossal machine has been under the control of the Lee family since it began as a trading company in 1938 in their home province of Gyeongsang. Now, the Lee dynasty is facing the biggest test of its iron grip since setting up Samsung – "three stars" in Korean – nearly

Is This What The Next Samsung Galaxy Note /Edge Will Look Like?

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Design Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Design Naturally, the Note 5 will be bigger to accommodate a larger display, but won't be massive because Samsung has effectively capped the display of Note series at 5.7 inch for the last few models. The Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy S6 came up with a metal frame and it can be pretty certain this will return on the Note 5 as well. Samsung might sacrifice the old faux leather plastic back of the Note 5 and will bring in glass panels similar to the Galaxy S6. Samsung Galaxy Note Display Samsung Galaxy Note Display Samsung has consistently delivered some of the best displays in the market for a while now. Samsung has came up with Super AMOLED display for its devices that provides excellent color accuracy and contrast, brightness levels and viewing angles.

Apple iPhone smartphones to be manufactured in India soon

A lack of good infrastructure and suppliers were the biggest hurdles to making technology products in India but the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make In India' push is slowly but surely changing this long held notion. Sources reveal that Foxconn is looking to build the Apple (APPL) products in India. Earlier, the same problem forced most of India's phone companies to get their products from the mature markets of China and Taiwan. The world's largest contract manufacturer of electronic products however, noted India is fast become an increasingly popular manufacturing hub for electronics, with a large pool of workers with technical know-how. Having said that, it lags behind China as a go-to place for electronics manufacturing. The move of shifting its facility to India could help Foxconn potentially mitigate the rising labor costs in China. The group is already in talks and if it works we could soon see Foxconn manufacture iPhones, iPads and iPods i
