Samsung and Germany’s DT added voice to 5G, made world’s first 5G VoNR call
Just recently, Samsung confirmed that it is going to hold a new launch conference on June 22nd, 2021, and the slogan for this event is “Samsung Networks: Redefined”. Most probably, the company will introduce 5G technology, terminals, or its vision for 6G.
Aside from this, new information has appeared online from Germany that a local carrier Deutsche Telekom has finally completed the world’s first 5G Voice over New Radio (VoNR) call in partnership with Samsung, Xiaomi, Ericsson, and Nokia.
According to the info shared by Deutsche Telekon, it has used Samsung and Xiaomi’s mobile terminals including Qualcomm’s test platform. Although this new technology doesn’t need to utilize 4G and other networks for voice calls, it directly uses 5G SA (stand-alone) networks for VoNR protocol calls.
German carrier said that the call was made over a 5G Standalone (SA) network set up at Deutsche Telekom’s lab in Warsaw, Poland. In contrast, this network setup included a 5G Core from Ericsson and IP Multimedia Subsystem from Nokia.
The call was completed using 5G smartphone shape test equipment driven by Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G, and Snapdragon 888 5G modem-RF system, which is supported by Snapdragon 780G and the latest Snapdragon 888 5G system-on-chip.
Alex Choi, SVP Strategy & Technology Innovation, Deutsche Telekom said “Our collaboration with best-in-class partners to validate end-to-end 5G VoNR interoperability is an important step towards the future of 5G voice services for our customers.”

Google Photos preps to expand Pixel 9’s magical AI features
Pixel 9’s AI Magic Editor features could be coming to older models through Google Photos. The company seemingly working to optimize two new Magic Editor features called Auto Frame and Reimagine for older Pixel phones.
AndroidAuthority reports that Pixel 9’s AI-powered Auto Frame and Reimagine features could come to Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 series with Google Photos update. This surprising info was discovered right under the codes and strings of Google Photos APK.
Code and strings related to the Pixel 9’s Reimagine and Auto Frame appearing in the Google Photos app for Pixel 6 to Pixel 8. It’s a clear indication that the US tech giant plans to roll out Pixel 9 features across Tensor-powered models.
Google’s new Pixel 9 introduces cool camera features such as Add Me, Video Boost with Night Sight, and more. The company has a habit of expanding newly added features with select older models that fulfill hardware requirements.
The new Magic Editor’s Auto Frame automatically frames your chosen subject, even if that requires expanding the image using AI. Whereas Reimagine lets you change backgrounds with the power of generative artificial intelligence.
Google Photos could add these new features in a future Feature Drop. The company may also expand the new additions to all Android phones through a Google One subscription, the same way Pixel 8’s Magic Editor rolled out earlier.

Samsung makes fun of iPhone 16 with ‘different’ Galaxy Z Flip 6
Samsung has shown the mirror to Apple over the recently launched iPhone 16 as it can’t Flip or Fold. Apple dreams of entering the foldable phone market, but it’s already delayed in its entry and the wait won’t be over for at least two more years.
In the latest ‘different’ ad, Samsung mocked the Apple iPhone 16 through the Galaxy Z Flip 6. A graphical clip showcases a series of iPhones rolling. All are shown flat from the rear side and then comes the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in a half-unfolded state.
It’s all about showing off innovation and the edge of being the foldable market leader. Apple also wishes to launch its foldable display product. However, the company is waiting for years until the segment and products enter the mainstream.
