Apple MacBook Pro 2021’s rival Samsung Galaxy Book Pro shines in a new leak
In the tech industry, we’ve encountered quite disappointing news this week as the world’s largest smartphone brand – Samsung has officially confirmed to skip its high-profile Note phones this year due to an imbalance between parts and supply.
Apart from this, a well-known tipster brought us Samsung’s mini product roadmap that revealed several upcoming devices along with their launch timeline and details about future Unpacked events.
According to the alleged roadmap, the South Koreans will launch Chrome-powered Chromebooks and Windows-powered Galaxy Book laptops at the company’s PC-focused Unpacked event in April 2021. And we now have initial information along with a set of renders regarding these products, courtesy of Evan Blass (via Voice).
Here’s our first look at Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360:
Evan recently shared some CAD renders of the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360, which gives us our first look at the company’s upcoming laptops that are expected to launch next month. The renders of these PCs show off the pretty sleek design and powerful features that are enough to catch up consumers’ attention away from Apple’s upcoming MacBook Pro.
Galaxy Book Pro 360:
As per the renders, the Galaxy Book Pro 360 looks similar to the Galaxy Book Flex in terms of design with an included 360-degree hinge that allows the screen to flip around and turn into a tablet-like gadget.
Galaxy Book Pro:
On the other hand, the Galaxy Book Pro is quite identical to the straightforward laptops that may be the successor to the Galaxy Book Ion. And both Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 to be available in two different display sizes including 13-inch and 15-inch.
Previously, it was said that the Galaxy Book Pro series will also offer an S-Pen-equipped touchscreen convertible sibling in the form of the Galaxy Book Pro 360. And the Galaxy Book Pro to come in two colors including Blue and Silver while the 360 variants will be available in Navy and Gold color options.
These upcoming PCs are expected to feature 11th generation silicon from Intel, a choice of embedded or discrete (nVidia MX450) graphics to drive the full HD AMOLED displays, and connectivity options including Thunderbolt4 and available LTE cellular modem.
However, it is expected that the Cupertino tech giant will hold an Apple Event in April to launch the new iPad Pro 2021 and some more products. Meanwhile, the new MacBook Pro 2021 is still unconfirmed so it’s a good chance for Samsung to grow its share in the computer and laptop market by introducing new Galaxy Books ahead of Apple.
Lastly, it’s still unclear when will Samsung launch the Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360. Besides, the specifications, availability, and pricing details are yet to come. We’ll keep you posted whenever any new information comes on this story. Stay tuned!

Here’s how Galaxy HDR works on the latest Samsung Galaxy S23

Samsung Galaxy S23 series comes with a new design, new features, and the latest software. In addition, the Galaxy S23 series shows Samsung’s groundbreaking photographic capabilities such as stand-out selfies, cinematic video with less noise even in dark conditions, Auto Exposure with HDR, detailed photos, and more.
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.

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.

Samsung displays are precious, Apple must have to keep tech’s unhappiest marriage alive

Samsung and Apple are the biggest rivals in the smartphone industry, fighting for the global crown. Apple has mastery in some aspects such as longer updates support and well-optimized software, while it’s nothing without the help of Samsung for displays.
According to a TheInformation report, there are complicated relationships in the tech industry and then there is the rocky marriage between Apple and Samsung for displays. The former needs cutting-edge displays for iPhones which makes it dependent on Samsung, while it blames Samsung for patent infringement.

An ex-Apple employee revealed how Samsung is concerned to protect its display technology supremacy. The company naturally wishes to keep the biggest rival away from its cutting-edge display technology, by preventing Apple engineers to visit manufacturing facilities.
It’s reported that a team of Apple engineers went to South Korea to meet the Samsung display division’s team in 2017. Instead of a meeting, the company didn’t allow the workers to reach the display manufacturing units and even the office buildings.
Samsung reportedly asked Apple employees to return to their hotel rooms to communicate with their Samsung counterparts remotely. In addition, an incident happened in the past when Samsung was sending millions of LCD displays to Foxconn to be utilized in the Retina version of the iPad mini.
The US tech giant reportedly found a few minor defects in the screens, but Samsung declined to amend them, so Apple had to go ahead and deploy the supplied panels. No doubt, Samsung achieved mastery in display technology, which forces Apple to keep this unhappiest marriage alive.
Samsung is the biggest supplier for Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro panel orders, beating LG Display and China’s BOE. For the next-gen iPhone models, it is reported that the Korean tech giant will have a sweeping order from Apple, thanks to the ultimate OLED panels!
