Samsung Display unveils optimized OLED display for 5G smartphones

Samsung Display, the display-making affiliate of the conglomerate, unveiled an optimized OLED display for 5G smartphones today. Samsung continues to dominate the mobile OLED market with an over 90 percent share and it aims to keep things that way.

So it continues to innovate and offer products that other display manufacturers are not yet able to. This competitive edge is what helps Samsung maintain its significant lead over the entire market. Samsung Display’s latest offering is likely going to be used for many top-tier phones due this year.

New display panel also has reduced power consumption

Samsung Display also supplies the display panels for the Galaxy S20. The entire new flagship lineup from Samsung features Eye Care-certified displays with a 120Hz refresh rate. The panels have also been certified by VDE Germany for 100 percent Mobile Color Volume in the DCI-P3 color range.

The latest offering from Samsung Display has reduced blue-light emissions and lower power consumption. Swiss certification and testing company SGS has awarded it the ‘Eye Care Display’ certification while Underwriters Laboratories has certified the display for lower blue-light emission and power consumption.

In its testing, SGS found that the new OLED display emits 6.5 percent blue light which is noticeably lower than the 7.5 percent level of the Samsung OLED panel released last year. Power consumption has dropped by 15 percent, according to UL, which found that the average power consumption when performing tasks like taking pictures or surfing the web dropped from about 1.5W to 1.3W.

Samsung Display has quickly commercialized the new display inventions that were unveiled with Samsung’s latest smartphones. It also confirmed last week that the Ultra Thin Glass, used for the Galaxy Z Flip’s foldable display, can now be mass produced for different foldable devices and screen sizes.

New Galaxy Note 10 update improves face recognition, navigation gestures

Samsung has released a new software update for the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, one that brings improvements other than enhanced security for the first time after the two phones were updated to Android 10 and One UI 2.0. This new update, sporting software version N97xFXXU2BTB5, was released in Malaysia a little over a week ago and is now available in Germany. It will likely be released in more markets in the coming days.

The improvements in the new update are focused on facial recognition and full-screen navigation gestures, though Samsung doesn’t go into detail about exactly how these features have been improved. The update doesn’t include the March security patch, which is somewhat surprising as Samsung had recently gotten into the habit of releasing the next month’s security patch for its flagships before the preceding month was over. However, it’s possible that in some countries, Samsung will bundle the aforementioned improvements with the March patch.

If you own a Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+, you can check if the update is available for your phone over the air by opening its Settings app, selecting Software update, and tapping Download and install. You can also update by installing the latest firmware, which you can download from our firmware archive, on your phone using a Windows PC.

Samsung Knox awarded best mobile innovation for digital trust by MWC

This year’s Mobile World Congress may have been canceled due to fears over the coronavirus infection, but it’s Global Mobile Awards have still been announced. Samsung always manages to pick up a few awards at these things and that’s no different in 2020.

Samsung Knox, the company’s enterprise-grade security platform, has been recognized by the Global Mobile Awards as the Best Mobile Innovation for Building Trust in the Digital Age.

Samsung views security as a highly important aspect of maintaining a trusted relationship with its customers. The company keeps security as a priority every step of the way, from designing the chipset to the operating system, device to network and app to cloud.

Knox is Samsung’s global defense-grade security platform that protects all data that’s stored, sent or received on consumers’ devices throughout the device’s entire lifecycle. As the largest mobile vendor on the planet, the Knox platform already secured billions of devices and it has been recognized by the mobile industry at large as well as governments across the globe.

A panel of six judges was responsible of selecting the winner of this particular award. Samsung Knox was chosen by the panel which also highlighted that Knox happens to be “a very good solution to the issue of device security – a global defence-grade platform.”

This isn’t the first time that Knox has picked up an award. The Global Mobile Awards had previously recognized Samsung Knox Workplace as the Best Security/Anti-Fraud product in 2015.

Samsung’s next budget tablet may be called the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

The Galaxy Tab S6 is a flagship Android tablet that Samsung released last year. Samsung addressed a major shortcoming of its flagship tablet lineup with this device by shipping it with the latest processor, which was the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 at that time.

It appears that the company’s next tablet is going to be an offshoot of the Galaxy Tab S6. However, it’s not going to be a premium product. Samsung is likely going to launch its next budget tablet as the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

Galaxy Tab S6 Lite will truly be a Lite device

We exclusively revealed a couple of months ago that Samsung is developing a new tablet bearing model number SM-P615. Specs of the device emerged the following month. We now know what Samsung is going to call this tablet courtesy of the device going through its Bluetooth qualification process. The Bluetooth SIG listing reveals that this product, the SM-P615, will be called the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

Despite sharing its name with Samsung’s flagship Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is going to be Lite in every sense of the word. Key specs of the tablet were revealed last month when it surfaced on Geekbench. It will use the same Exynos 9611 processor as found in mid-range devices like the Galaxy A50s. It will be available with 64/128GB storage options and 4GB of ram. There’s also a possibility that it will be paired with an S Pen and will most likely come with Android 10 out of the box. A Wi-Fi only variant of the tablet with model number SM-P610 will be on offer as well.

Seeing as how this is going to be a truly mid-range affair, expect Samsung to launch the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite by way of a press release at some point in the coming months. No word as yet on the pricing and availability details but we’ll be sure to let you know if we get a hold of them.
