For security enhancement, the Korean firm has fixed over 60 related issues and exposures. These include 5 Critical and 35 High levels of CVEs from Google’s Android operating system and 23 Galaxy-specific SVEs that were affecting One UI apps and services.

Besides these, Samsung does not bring any notable new features or changes with this update. Both these foldables recently grabbed the big One UI 5.1 update and their another feature-rich One UI 5.1.1 software is on the way.

Last year, Samsung brought the Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1 software with a lot of new features to make large-screen easy to use. A similar update is coming this year as well but there is no sign of Android 13L so far. It seems like One UI 5.1.1 will also rely on Android 13.

Moreover, the company is expected to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 smartphones with Android 13-based One UI 5.1.1 software out of the box. The next-gen foldable phones may debut in August this year, whereas the One UI 5.1.1 may be available for older Galaxy devices a month later of launch.

Let’s talk about the Galaxy HDR technology implemented in the Galaxy S23 series. But do you know what HDR is? If you do not know, then let us tell you that HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technology that expresses bright and dark areas as widely as possible.

Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook

When we take pictures or videos, we get images with suitable brightness through AE (Auto Exposure) operation which adjusts the exposure. However, when shooting indoors in backlit conditions or while looking out a window, bright and dark scenes coexist, resulting in images that are bright or dark depending on the scene.

Samsung Galaxy S23 HDR Technology

In Samsung Galaxy S23, the company uses the MF-HDR (Multiple Frame HDR) compositing method. It is a technology that takes pictures of different brightness by continuously adjusting the exposure, and then extracts the video information of the bright part from the bright picture and the video information of the dark part from the dark picture, and combines them into one picture.

Since the image is created by selectively combining bright and dark object information, an image with optimal brightness is created. However, since MF-HDR captures multiple consecutive scenes, there is a lag between scenes.

It means that a moving subject is prone to ghosting when the motion vector and image overlap, so it is recommended to use it in a shooting mode where the subject moves little.

On the flip side,  in motion picture mode, SF-HDR (single-frame HDR) technology is applied, and image sensor IDCG (Intrascene Dual Coverage Gain) technology is used to capture and synthesize bright and dark scenes simultaneously.

Image sensor iDCG technology generates electrons, that is, electrical signals, according to the brightness when light is incident on the photodiode of the image sensor, and the image sensor’s internal circuit (ADC: Analog Digital Converter and Logic Circuit) is used to convert the image sensor does for voltage. It goes through a process of change.

During the conversion of light into an electrical signal, electrons are placed in a cup called FD (Floating Diffusion) to measure the number of electrons. Determine a specific ratio based on the capacity of the cup and convert it to a voltage signal.

In the case of existing sensors, the capacity of the cup is limited to one, so it is difficult to take great pictures in environments with frequent changes in light and dark.

If the cup potential is large in a dark environment, it will be difficult to clearly express the dark part because the small light information cannot be converted into a sufficient voltage. It’s hard to articulate the bright parts well.

iDCG technology converts the existing one cup into two cups of different capacities, selects the smaller cup in a dark environment, selects the larger cup in a bright environment, measures twice, synthesizes in real-time, and HDR improves the performance of the image.

In the case of SF-HDR using 1 exposure, it is better for shooting moving images than MF-HDR using 2 exposures because of the sharpness of the subject’s movement. In addition to this, the company is preparing to bring HDR performance closer to the human eye through camera image sensors and ISP technology.

If you use the function while the charger is connected to the Galaxy smartphone, it will provide power to play the product and charge the battery.

This feature minimizes battery charging and allows most of the power to be supplied only to the running device in order to reduce the impact on the other products such as the battery, due to simultaneous game execution and battery charging app operations while gaming.

How to use it?

You can easily enable and use the Samsung USB Power Delivery Charging Pause feature, firstly you have to install and run the fame after connecting the PD charger.

• This function is enabled only when a PD charger is connected. Check whether a normal charger is connected or not, and connect the PD charger.

Activated feature but it is not working

• The game is on: Even if the game is running, if the screen is off or actions other than the game are in progress, such as switching to another screen, the function does not work.
• When battery charge exceeds 20% with PD charger connected (25W or higher, PPS function support is required). In addition, the battery may charge if a normal charger other than a PD charger is connected, or if the battery charge is below 20%, which is normal.

Supported Devices

Original story published on March 12.

The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic was the last Samsung smartwatch that brought a physical rotating bezel feature. The company later ditched the Classic branding in favor of Pro for the Galaxy Watch 5 lineup, which also killed that much-loved physical rotating bezel.

According to the latest info, the next-gen premium Samsung smartwatch could bring back the physical rotating bezel. Korean tipster @SuperRoader revealed that the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro would introduce the physical rotating bezel feature, which might be seeing disappointment from consumers.

Like earlier, the top model will exclusively bring the rotating bezel, while the vanilla variant will offer the same experience digitally. Moreover, it’s reported that the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro will be available in two sizes so consumers can buy the best-sized model, as per preference.

Launch?

The South Korean tech giant is expected to launch the Galaxy Watch 6 along with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 smartphones. The company may hold its next big event sometime in August or September 2023, while an official announcement is too away to happen.
