A new patent from Samsung suggests that in the future, the Galaxy Ring could do much more instead of just fitness tracking. It could control your phone, tablet, and laptop screens. Even, Galaxy Ring may soon be able to move files between devices, all with a simple flick of your finger.

The patent (via 91Mobiles) shows a “screen control method” that allows the ring to act as an input device, which offers the ability to interact with connected displays in a seamless, intuitive manner. This means you could swipe, tap, or move files between devices like smartphones and laptops just by making gestures with the ring.

Samsung Interior Fit Kit

Samsung has introduced a new product called the ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit,’ which makes installing system air conditioners much easier. It is mainly beneficial for homes with limited space between the inner and outer walls of the ceiling.

Previously, installing air conditioners required complicated work like cutting the ceiling, carpentry, and painting. These works took 2-3 days and often lowered the ceiling height to make the space look less appealing.

The new ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit’ replaces this complicated step-down construction as it allows the system air conditioner to be installed quickly and without affecting the look of the room.

The kit connects the air conditioner to the ceiling seamlessly, keeping the space looking neat and tidy. In addition, it uses Samsung’s wind-free system, which provides gentle, comfortable airflow.

This kit offers an easy installation process. It takes just one day to complete. The kit works by drilling a hole in the ceiling’s outer wall and then installing the air conditioner on top of the kit. It can be used with all models of Samsung’s home wind-free system air conditioners, which include AI features.

The kit is available at Samsung stores across Korea, with prices ranging from 180,000 to 190,000 won depending on the size.

A Samsung Electronics official said:

With the ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit,’ you can install a system air conditioner more easily and economically without damaging the interior,” and added, “We will continue to introduce innovative products and services so that more consumers can experience the AI ​​life through Samsung Electronics AI home appliances.

Samsung 50W wireless charging

Samsung is working to make wireless charging faster and more reliable with a high-speed of 50W. The company has introduced a new chip S2MIW06, which supports wireless charging speeds of up to 50W.

The latest power chip S2MIW06 is designed to work with the latest wireless charging standards, including Qi2. It supports different charging speeds – 5W for basic charging, 15W for faster charging, and up to 25W with a special Magnetic Power Profile (MPP).

MPP uses magnets to perfectly align your device with the charger, which helps avoid problems like overheating and slow charging caused by misalignment. While MPP currently supports up to 25W charging, the new chip from Samsung is designed to push this up to 50W.

Samsung is also working with the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to develop the next wireless charging standard, Qi v.2.2. The aim is to make wireless charging more reliable and compatible across different devices and chargers. Samsung has tested its new chip with many types of chargers to ensure it works well with both certified and uncertified ones.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 may not have MPP built-in but it will be “Qi2 Ready.” This means it can work with special cases that provide the magnetic alignment needed for faster charging.

Though 50W wireless charging isn’t available just yet, Samsung’s new chip is helping to prepare for a future where wireless charging is as fast and reliable as using a wired charger. The upcoming Galaxy phones could support this new charging standard with 50W faster speed.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max rumored to boost camera specs, can it challenge Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s dominance?

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

In the world of smartphone cameras, Apple‘s iPhone has always been a strong player, getting better with each new version. The latest rumors talk about big camera upgrades for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. But with Samsung’s impressive Galaxy S25 Ultra out there, the big question is: Can it truly challenge the dominance of Samsung’s best?

According to the latest leak, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will come equipped with significant camera enhancements. Apple is rumored to introduce triple 48-megapixel sensors across its camera system on the back, including the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. This would be a big jump from the iPhone 16 Pro Max, especially since the telephoto camera might go from 12MP to 48MP. Additionally, the front camera might see an upgrade to a 24MP sensor, an upgrade over a 12MP front camera.

On the other hand, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is going to have one of the best camera systems around. It features a huge 200-megapixel main camera for the incredibly detailed pictures. It uses pixel binning tech to take 12-megapixel pictures that look great even in low light.

The S25 Ultra is also expected to keep its lead in Zoom, probably the best in the smartphone market. It’s rumored to have two telephoto lenses – one at 3x zoom and another at 5x optical zoom.

When comparing the camera systems, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a few notable advantages:

  • Resolution and Low Light: The S25 Ultra’s 200-megapixel camera takes super detailed photos and does great in dim light thanks to its big sensor.
  • Zoom: As per the latest information, Samsung’s S25 Ultra has two telephoto lenses, letting you zoom in on anything from people to things, without significant quality loss.
  • Software: One UI on Samsung phones has lots of cool photo features like Night Mode and Expert RAW mode, making you feel like a pro photographer.

Despite Apple’s rumored upgrades, the iPhone 17 Pro Max might still lag in a few areas:

  • Zoom: The iPhone’s telephoto camera might get better, but it probably won’t have as much zoom power as the Galaxy S25 Ultra with its two telephoto lenses.
  • Custom Settings: Samsung’s phone has more options, which can really help you get the shot you want.
  • AI and Image Processing: Samsung has been using AI in its cameras for a while now, making photos look better in all sorts of lighting, while Apple is still working on catching up (too late in the AI party) with these kinds of features. Just remember this name “Object Eraser”.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max might get some cool camera upgrades, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still the camera king in smartphones. Samsung’s combination of great hardware and smart software makes it a tough competitor, even for the iPhone. Choosing between them might be about which brand you like more, but if you are all about camera quality, Samsung seems to hold the upper hand.

For people who love taking pictures, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best with its great camera hardware and software. But we all want to see how they really do when they come out.

The big reason Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max users might switch to Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Published

on

Samsung is at the forefront of smartphone innovation globally. The new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is going to be a big deal, especially if you’re currently using an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Here’s the big reason why you might want to consider upgrading to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Samsung’s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is expected to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Qualcomm’s latest chipset, built on a 3nm process, promises to offer better power management, which directly translates to enhanced battery life. In the smartphone industry, this is a game-changer feature.

Despite the iPhone 16 Pro Max having a 4,685 mAh battery, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will keep the 5,000 mAh battery from its predecessors, but it’s not just the same in performance; it’s improved. With the optimized Snapdragon 8 Elite, this phone could easily beat the iPhone 16 Pro Max in real-world scenarios.

For iPhone users, this is particularly appealing. For those with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, upgrading to the Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t just about getting the newest smartphone. It’s about having a phone where you don’t need to worry about the battery life or charger. You get performance you know, but with even better battery life.

With the S25 Ultra, Samsung is setting new standards for battery life and how well a phone works. If your iPhone’s battery doesn’t last through your day, the S25 Ultra will be the upgrade you need.

Apart from the battery life, there’s more reason to upgrade:

  • Display: A 6.8-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate offers incredible brightness and color accuracy.
  • Camera Innovations: With rumors of a new 50MP ultra-wide and a variable zoom lens, photography enthusiasts might find the S25 Ultra’s capabilities more flexible than the iPhone’s.
  • Design and Build: The S25 Ultra is expected to feature rounded corners and a titanium frame, making it not only durable but also more comfortable to hold than its predecessors or the current iPhone lineup.

Let’s have some recent comparison between the Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max:

In PhoneBuff’s battery test, the iPhone 16 Pro Max outlasted the Galaxy S24 Ultra, lasting 28 hours and 14 minutes compared to the S24 Ultra’s 27 hours and 18 minutes.

However, in other battery tests like Mrwhosetheboss’s, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has outperformed the iPhone 16 Pro Max, lasting 12 hours and 31 minutes compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 11 hours and 22 minutes. Note that the S24 Ultra is an almost year-old device without an optimized OS and processor.

Both of these phones are capable of providing excellent battery life, with many users likely to experience all-day battery performance under normal use. However, for those who prioritize battery life, the Galaxy S25 Ultra might be the better choice based on the latest chipset performance.

The optimization of the Snapdragon 8 Elite could potentially lead to better battery life through improved power efficiency.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite might give the S25 Ultra an advantage in terms of raw power efficiency, potentially leading to longer battery life for high-performance tasks.

Samsung’s One UI 7 (which will be updated for the S25 series) has been improving in terms of battery efficiency with each version, and with the integration of Galaxy AI features, there could be further enhancements for battery management.

However, Apple’s iOS has historically been very competitive in terms of battery life.
