Samsung Matter products

On November 3, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) held an event in Amsterdam, Newzealand to launch Matter and showcase its partners and their products, which includes Samsung Electronics as well.

CSA officially published the specifications of Matter 1.0 last month and now the partners have finally come together to show support. The new smart home standard Matter supports a wide variety of products including motion blinds, occupancy sensors, weather devices, smart plugs, door locks, lighting, gateways, platform components, and Matter-based software applications.

The company said that since the launch of Matter 1.0, 190 products have received certification or are in queue for testing and certification. In addition, 20 new companies have joined the CSA, with the number growing by the day. The interest among developers also seems high as Matter specs were downloaded over 4,000 times, and the SDK over 2,500 times.

The company also has test centers across nine countries that can help to get products certified. All these might not be possible when Matter didn’t have support from companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung, Signify, and many more.

Tobin Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance said –

“This is a major inflection point for the IoT. As we become more connected and break down the walls between the digital and physical world, we need to work together to make those connections meaningful. Matter and our membership are tackling this challenge head-on. With collaboration, inclusiveness, and a deep sense of responsibility to the market and consumers, Matter has the power to create a more connected, safe, and useful Smart Home.”

Among the four iPhone 15 models, the 15 Pro Max OLED estimate, which Apple plans to produce the most, is four times higher for Samsung than for LG Display. Industry watchers say that Samsung Display’s iPhone 15 Pro Max OLED volume is in the mid-20 million units, three times that of LG Display.

Samsung iPhone 14 RAM Display

For the first time, Apple surpassed Samsung in smartphone export from India. The company shipped 49% of the country’s total 12 million shipments in the second quarter. Samsung, on the other hand, secured 45% of India’s total smartphone shipments in the same period.

Apple clocked a rapid growth in export volumes in the last year by making iPhones through contract manufacturers in India. The Cupertino-based company’s share of exports soared from just 9% of the roughly 8 million smartphones shipped in Q2 2022, to almost half the total smartphone exports in Q2 2023.

Google Messages adds waveforms to Voice Recorder UI

Published

Samsung Phone September 2023 update One UI 6

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.

Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.

The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.

These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
