Qualcomm unveiled the first two-way messaging system for smartphones

Qualcomm Technologies unveiled the first satellite-based two-way messaging solution for high-end smartphones, Snapdragon Satellite, at CES 2023. Beginning with devices based on the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, Snapdragon Satellite will use mobile messaging to connect people all over the world.

OEMs and other service providers will be able to give genuinely global coverage thanks to the new technology, which will be supported by the fully operational Iridium® satellite constellation and powered by Snapdragon 5G Modem-RF Systems. The smartphone solution uses Iridium’s weather-resistant L-band bandwidth for both uplink and downlink.

Satellite-based connectivity for next-generation premium Android phones will be provided by Qualcomm and Iridium, while Garmin will offer emergency communications.

In remote, rural, and offshore locations, Snapdragon® Satellite can enable two-way emergency messaging, SMS texting, and other messaging applications. Snapdragon® Satellite gives complete worldwide coverage from pole to pole.

Snapdragon Satellite will support 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks once NTN satellite constellations and infrastructure become accessible (NTN).
With this technology, smartphones and other non-smartphone gadgets can communicate through satellite in an emergency.

The following generation of smartphones, which will debut in select regions in the second half of 2023, will provide emergency message sending and receiving via Snapdragon Satellite.

Samsung refreshes its Smart Monitor M8 for 2023 with various new features

Samsung has improved the Smart Monitor M8, which it introduced last year. The Smart Monitor M8 billed as an all-arounder, can be used not only as a traditional external monitor but also as a Smart TV thanks to a Tizen-derived OS with game and video streaming apps. To that end, Samsung included speakers and a small Amazon Fire TV Stick-style remote with the original Smart Monitor M8.

While the Smart Monitor M8 was originally available in a single 32-inch size, Samsung has now released a smaller 27-inch model, mirroring its older Space Monitor series. The smaller Smart Monitor M8 retains the 4K resolution of its larger sibling, resulting in a higher pixel density. Both are available in Daylight Blue, Spring Green, Sunset Pink, and Warm White, as well as a height-adjustable stand with tilt support.

This year’s Samsung Smart Monitor M8 series includes stands that can pivot up to 90 degrees, which was missing from the original 32-inch model.

Furthermore, both sizes come with VESA mounts if you don’t want to use the included stand. The Smart Monitor M8 series supports mouse control functionality within SmartThings and Smart Hub, among other apps, providing greater convenience than the previous year’s version. Samsung also claims to have added a new My Contents feature that can display specific information, such as upcoming calendar entries, at a glance.

This year’s Smart Monitor M8 monitor will also include an upgraded SlimFit camera, which now operates at 2K resolution and is compatible with video conferencing apps like Google Meet. Samsung has not yet confirmed pricing or availability, but the previous Smart Monitor M8 took the company several months to do so.

Does the new trailer depict the story of a young man who becomes married to a working girl to survive on his wife’s earnings? on the other side, the film has beautifully portrayed the reality of this generation’s marriage life. An unemployed girl can marry an employed boy, and it’s okay, at that time girls are very weak, and they need to have cared for. While an employed girl marries an unemployed boy, then the so-called modern wife turns off the switch of gender equality.

The unemployed boy faced everything; the girl left no effort undone to feel him low. At that time the girl becomes a powerful woman, if she will, she can engulf that man single-handedly.

Microsoft 365, Outlook, and Teams apps will already be installed on the ThinkPhone.

The Moto KeySafe is a standalone processor that adds an extra layer of protection; it will store cryptographic keys, PINs and passwords, and other sensitive data in a tamper-resistant setting.

The Lenovo ThinkPhone for business clients can also be remotely configured by IT administrators using Moto OEMConfig or Moto Device Manager.

The Motorola Lenovo ThinkPhone will soon be available in the US, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Australia, and a few Asian nations. As a B2B device, Lenovo hasn’t yet disclosed the price, so don’t expect to find it in your neighbourhood electronics shop.
