The Chinese phone maker first introduced the Mate 50 with satellite connectivity feature. With its next flagship products, the company is reportedly bringing the 2nd iteration of satellite SMS feature with further refinements and upgraded capabilities.

The Galaxy S23 series lacks satellite connectivity feature and Samsung CEO said that the company believes it’s not a demanding feature. The technology is in its initial stage, and we will wait until it gets mature before pumping into Galaxy products.

On the flip side, Huawei just kills Samsung with brigning the world’s first smartwatch that talks to satellites in the space. As the tech is in developing stage, it’s expected that the Watch Ultimate could let users send and recieve SMS through satellite network.

In reality, satellite network is not an important feature, but it already saved life of consumers in emergency situations. In case your device is not connected to internet services, satellite network would become a life saving feature for yourself.

Galaxy Watch 6

Chinese vendors are expanding their footsteps in technolgy, while Samsung is still confused finalyzing its products portfolio. The Galaxy Watch 4’s Classic branding was replaced with Galaxy Watch 5’s Pro branding and Samsung is bringing back the Classic name tag and physical rotating bezel with Watch 6.

Samsung brings premium smartwatches with futuristic features and health tracking functions in both Bluetooth and LTE connectivity. However, Huawei is going to set example in the wearable market with bringing satellite support on a tiny smartwatch. Rumors are there that Huawei is woking on Watch 4 as well.

Courtesy of Esper.io’s Mishaal Rahman, we have a pretty clear idea of what new features are included in the latest Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1. It’s worth mentioning that the company brought various tweaks with the QPR3 Beta derived from the Android 14 DP2.

Android 13 QPR Beta is a Pixel-exclusive software development plan, which Google initiated to test features prior to its quarterly feature drops. Similarly, Samsung brings new features and enhancements to Galaxy devices, but there’s no pre-defined distribution program.

Here is the Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 stuff:

• Device Controls can show a custom embedded activity from providers, but only to developers in Android 14 DP2’s release.
• The transient taskbar is now available when gesture navigation is enabled, while the persistent taskbar appears with 3-button navigation.
• Users now have the option to display weather on the lock screen separately from smartspace.
• The font scaling Quick Setting tile is now available when enabled.
• A new “emoji wallpaper” generator is available in Android 14 DP2, but not enabled by default.
• Three new keyguard quick affordances are supported: Mute, notetaking, and video camera.
• Watch Unlock feature can now be accessed through Settings integration.
• A “show only new notifications on lock screen” option is available under Settings Notifications, but only if the lock_screen_show_only_unseen_notifications is set to ‘1’.
• Share menu is more consistent with an unbundled chooser.

After two developer previews, the Mountain View company is expected to release the Android 14 Public Beta 1 for Pixel devices next month. As reported, there will be a single Beta update in QPR3 Beta as Google says the preview will “continue until Android 14 Beta kicks off.”

“If you’re participating in QPR3 beta, you will automatically receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to Android 14 Beta 1 when it becomes available. No separate program opt-in is required. We’ll provide more information as we get closer to the Android 14 beta release.”

Lighting is one of the important factors in photography. With the new update, the company would like to introduce the Editors’ Tint Menu so that you can fine-tune the effect of these lights.

Samsung offers three different functions for adjusting the lighting, which look similar but are different. Those three functions are Light Balance, Definition, and Clearness. Let’s see these three functions of Samsung One UI 5.1 Photo Editor.

Improved Light Balance 

Light Balance literally means the balance of light. This function adjusts the balance of brightness to the mid-tones in the image. This feature ensures visibility and balances brightness by making very dark areas slightly brighter and very bright areas slightly darker.

When we increase the (+) value, the light balance effect is adjusted to make the overall image brighter and more clear, while we increase the (-) value, the overall image becomes darker such as casting a shadow.

The Light Balance function is currently only available for photo editing and will be soon supported by Video Editor.

Sharpness Improvement

Sharpness is a feature that edits blurry photos to make them sharper. Although it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with light, it does involve the power of light.

Brighten the brightest point of the photo that bringing out the texture, which has the effect of sharpening the photo. The sharpness enhancement applies to photo editing and video editing alike.

New Clarity Feature

Clarity is a new feature of the latest One UI 5.1 update. Alike the Sharpness function, the Clarity function applies the effect of lighting rather than changing it. This function makes bright areas of an image slightly brighter and dark areas slightly darker to enhance the texture or three-dimensional effect of the image. In One UI 5.1, Clarity is only available for photo editing, but the company is planning to release this feature to the Video Editor.

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.
