Pixel Google shines despite poor management of demand – Caracol Radio

Google Pixel / Flickr – TechStage

Although Google has not released the sales figures, industry researchers point out that Pixel has been a coveted item since its launch in October, and has been the subject of the best reviews and the largest marketing campaign in the 18 year history of Google.

however, he did not have enough devices to meet demand. Instead of waiting several weeks, many consumers who were interested in the Pixel you probably bought a iPhone, Galaxy or some other model.

Google also came to an agreement to sell it through a one-company wireless, Verizon. Although the shops of the Google on line sell Pixels compatible with other telephone companies, the majority of people do not acquire their devices that way.

it is Not surprising that Google has made a bad evaluation of the market, given that it is the first attempt by the technology company to manufacture its own phone. It had previously been associated with several manufacturers for his line Nexus, with which it launched its operating system, Android, but such efforts hardly left a footprint.

“This was possibly a good learning experience for them,” said Neil Doshi, analyst at Mizhuo Securities USA.

The iPhone 7 and the Apple Watch become to catapult Apple

iPhone 7 Plus. Photography: Hypertext.

When you worse, it seemed that things were going, when we spoke of the inertia of Apple because it is not of the past, and the iPhone was just beginning to lift the foot from the accelerator without an alternative that is fortaleciese enough to compensate, Apple has filed financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2017 with a record income of 78.400 million dollars, which allow you to increase the pace of growth that saw very slowed down a year ago, when it went from 75,000 to 76,000 million dollars of revenue. There had been a growth of crazy, as in 2013 and in 2014 the revenues were 55,000 and 58.000 million dollars respectively.

These new numbers obey you in good measure to the 78,3 million iPhone sold, which represents a year-onyear growth of 5%. The figures in the four quarters are equivalent to earlier, from 2013 through 2016, were 47.8, 51, 74.5 and 74.8 million. The iPhone 6s was a growth very discreet, while the iPhone 7 and the have been course, without getting to the loftiest heights of previous increase, a new push. Something to keep in mind is that the average selling price of each iPhone has risen to 694 dollars: here was because even though the exclusive camera of the iPhone 7 Plus, but also been due to see their impact moderated by the 32 GB storage on the basic models, that may have been enough for many buyers that once would have gone for the 64gb model, now extinct.

The Apple Watch for its part has also contributed to the good quarter. While it is true that Apple continues without giving specific numbers, including their numbers in the ambiguous “Other” category, Tim Cook has referred to him talking about that has been a trimeste “record” in sales, presumably the result of both the release of Series 2 and the christmas campaign. The Mac also has been a surprising joy, as revenues have risen 7% in sales. The iPad continues the inertia negative, accentuated by the many months in white in terms of releases. 22% have decreased the income obtained with it.

How to avoid buying an iPhone stolen – CNET in Spanish

do you Plan to buy an iPhone or an iPad used? If you’re buying from an individual, either locally or from a source like eBay, things are now a bit more complicated.

For unknown reasons, Apple seems to have removed the function Activation Lock, which was previously available through iCloud.com. Activation Lock is a security feature in iOS. With this activated, a device is registered with that account until the user disables the function. In this way, if a device is stolen and put up for sale, buyers in power can check the IMEI or the serial number of the device and see if the device is still registered with the iCloud account.

What happened with Activation Lock?

Rick Broida/CNET

The risk

For example, a thief with a iPhone stolen could listarlo on Craigslist or eBay for a low price with the idea of selling it quickly. But if the phone is still locked to the account owner, you will not be able to do anything with him. And without the checker of blockade of activation (Activation Lock), you can’t determine that state before you buy it.

The solution

however, all is not lost. If this is a buy online, you can still ask the IMEI number of the device and use the verification function of the operators:

swappa-imei-check.jpg

The verifier IMEI on Swappa lets you determine if a used device has been stolen.

Rick Broida/CNET

The service of Sprint bring your own device Mentioned an inspector IMEI, but I couldn’t find any place to enter a number. Fortunately, there are also available verifiers IMEI of third parties, such as this of the buyer and seller of services Swappa.

it Is important to note, however, that even though a check of the IMEI can help you determine if a phone is stolen, it doesn’t tell you if it is still locked to the account of the previous owner. In fact, I think that it is entirely possible that an IMEI appears “clean” while the iPhone or the iPad is still locked by the user.

Apple suggests

In consequence, Apple offers the following guidelines when buying a used device:

When you buy an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Apple Watch of anyone other than Apple or an authorized reseller of Apple, it’s up to you to make sure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the account of the previous owner. Follow these steps before buying the device:

  1. Turns the device on and slide to unlock.
  2. If you see the lock screen with password or screen, the device has not been cleared. Ask the retailer to completely delete the device and go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Do not take possession of any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch used until it has been cleared.
  3. Begins the process of configuring the device.
  4. After choosing a language, a country or a region and connect to a network, the device will begin activation. If prompted for the Apple ID and password of the previous owner, the device will continue to be linked to your account. Handing the device back to the seller and ask him to enter your password. If the previous owner is not present, can remove the device from your account by logging in icloud.com/find. Do not take possession of any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch used to that have been deleted from the account from the previous owner.

you will Know that a device is ready for use when prompted to “Configure your iPhone”, “Set up your iPad” or “Set up your iPod” the first time you turn it on.

short Version: Only purchase from someone with whom you can meet in person, and take the time to go through the process of setting up before you pull out your wallet.

Alo: the phone most unusual and futuristic… and that doesn’t seem like a phone – CNET in Spanish

Alo is a prototype old, but seems to have reached his hour thanks to advances in holographic and voice control.

Jerome Olivet

There are few concepts of phones and devices that never see the light, however Alo, the popular French designer Philippe Starck — known recently for the design of the Xiaomi Mi Mix for the company’s china — returns to the fray in a moment in which the virtual assistants and holographic technology seems to have advanced far enough.

Alo was a concept originally launched in 1995 and was even shown then in the fair IFA in Berlin, however it was very advanced for its time. Now, Starck, in conjunction with the designer Jerome Olivet, has renewed its proposal of a device based on the display of holographic images, and voice control.

According to Mashable, which cites the Website Dezeen, the device instead of having a large touch-screen display, is based on the projection of messages, videos or photos, which can be seen as a holographic three-dimensional. The equipment is fully operated using the voice control, one of the trends of the smartphone by 2017, especially since the birth of Google Assistant, and the likely launch of an artificial intelligence of Samsung.

“Alo provides a voice interface to all functions of the phone. Read SMS and emails, and even allows you to dictate messages instead of typing,” said Olivet to Dezeen.

The camera of this phone is capable of acting as an “eye”. Among other things it can allow the reader to read the texts that detect and identify faces. Also allows you project 3D holograms to watch a movie or read a message either.

Alo has a camera capable of capturing texts and read them to you, as well as to recognize faces.

Jerome Olivet

The device, which breaks the stereotypes of a phone and that looks like any future technology, alien from any door of the series Stargate, is cast-in aluminum earthling and has a clam-shell style that works with an interface haptic, which reveals a small surface on which you can write, or at least give instructions to the device without having to speak to him.

Among other things Alo can vibrate and emit lights of different colors to alert you of notifications, and at the same time has something interesting: the material of construction is repaired automatically in the event that you suffer some damage.

Alo has a screen haptic.

Jerome Olivet

Although it is currently only a prototype, the designers are working with the electronics company French Thomson, to develop a version of this computer, take advantage of the artificial intelligence today.

The site Dezeen remember that Starck has always been a designer who has criticized the screens of the phones, which led him to develop this device, although, since then it is something sarcastic, considering that it has designed one of the first phones to be practically all screen, with 91 per cent of the front of My Mix covered by the panel.

what A bad joke? If so will the phones of the future, as you will not be able to distract you in meetings playing Angry Birds or Super Mario Run.

Half a century of tomatoes tasteless

These qualities have been lost in the course of the last fifty years, because the producers did not have the scientific tools necessary to regularly check the taste of their tomatoes, he explains.

Working on the genome of the tomato, which was completely sequenced in 2012, the researchers were able to identify changes in five or six genes that control the synthesis of all the chemicals important to give the taste to this fruit.

After the bump the Galaxy Note 7, the market is holding breath until you know how you will try to the Korean manufacturer to troubleshoot the issue, and it seems that could have given the key with a Galaxy S8 leaked ahead of time.

you CAN SEE: Auction of the pipeline should consider transport of ethane and petrochemical

The terminal has been filtered by Evan Blass on his Twitter account and, given the trajectory of this source, analysts and the media give him the credit. In particular, the succinct message says: "This is the Galaxy S8 will be launched on the 29th of march." A photo and a date. It does not take much more because in that brief tweet hide a multitude of details: the first of them is the confirmation that Samsung effectively bet to deliver to the saga Galaxy the responsibility to fix the disaster of the Note 7, and will not be a Note 8 who will make us forget the bad taste in the mouth.

The first, the S8 inherits the aesthetic that you both liked most of the models unprecedented, and its screen curved full on the sides, the frame disappears (as in the S6 and S7 Edge). The brand also do not want to change something that already works extremely well: the camera, that would be 12 MP, but was about to premiere, so yes, a system of object detection and visual search.

But perhaps the crux of the matter is in your facet more transgressive: the S8 will come with an innovative virtual assistant baptized as Bixby, staffed with a dedicated button and you will be able to execute orders more complex than that of its rivals. the This section is important, since it seems that the brands are clear that the future of mobile passes inevitably by the attendees based on artificial intelligence. Another section in which the giant wants to break the mold is the one on the screen, and, more specifically, its aspect ratio, leaving the usual 16:9, and by opting for a ratio of 18:5:9. The battery would be built with a generous capacity of 3,500 mAh in the larger model.

The new Samsung Galaxy S8 – Tribune.hn

As happens every year, as that is about the date of presentation of a device highly anticipated is filtered out most of the details about its design and hardware. Happens with the iPhone, with the Galaxy, with video-game consoles, and so on. It is clear: it is very difficult to keep the secret when it is so large the number of companies involved in a same device, from design, supply of components, construction, distribution, etc.

In this case, it is the Galaxy S8 Samsung, which also has the plus that your arrival is delayed: will not be part of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, in the last days of February, where it will be LG with their G6 (which also there is a huge amount of known data), along with Sony, Alcatel, Nokia, Lenovo, Huawei and other companies.

And the information comes from the prolific Evan Blass, who typically handle information that is very accurate, and in this case published in Venture Beat many, many, many details about the team, some already known -or predicted – and other unexpected. The Guardian also published several details this week.

The biggest change to the S8 in respect of its previous versions is in the front, something we already knew, although not with much detail: although the design follows the previous model, Samsung reduces the maximum possible frame of the screen to maximize the surface area that it occupies. This forces it to remove the start button (and fingerprint sensor) on the front of the computer. Will take you to the back of the phone, as most of its competitors (with the notable exception of Sony and some other company, which are placed on one side, and those who manage to leave it at the front, such as Apple, HTC, OnePlus, and others).

the Samsung did, according to the photo published Blass, a bet of risk: the fingerprint sensor will be on the side of the camera and not below it, as is customary.

The screens will be of 5.8 and 6.2 inches, but the overall size of the equipment should be similar to the S7: it grows the size of the screen but not the phone because they reduce the frames. As a reference, the Xiaomi Mi Mix has a screen of 6.4 inches and an overall size similar to the iPhone 7 Plus (which has a screen of 5.5 inches) using the same technique.

The display of both models will have a curvature towards the back of the phone (like the Edge) and the bottom of the touch screen -where before the start button was – it will be pressure sensitive to activate special commands, such as offers Apple from the iPhone 6S, and that Huawei and ZTE incorporated then in some models.

The Galaxy S8 will be a chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 in some markets and an Exynos -designed by the own Samsung – in others, as in previous models; if you follow the tradition of other years, Argentina will the version with chip Exynos; this should not involve a change in performance. The Galaxy S8 will be 11 per cent faster, and your energy efficiency will be a 20 per cent higher than in S7, according to Blass.

The Galaxy S8 maintains the size of the batteries (3000 and 3500 mAh) and RAM (4 GB) of the samsung Galaxy S7 , but increases the internal storage base to 64 GB. It also maintains the analog audio connector, adds a USB-a port C, and the phones feature a 12-megapixel camera with aperture f/1.7, in addition to a sensor of the iris in the front of the computer to improve the biometric identification, as I had the Galaxy Note 7 , among other devices.

Among other unusual features, with the Galaxy S8 will debut Bixby, his digital assistant, which should have much in common with Viv, created by the company behind the original version of Siri, and that Samsung purchased it in 2016. Its strong: it allows a more natural interaction with the user in which understands the context of a conversation and complex requests; Google offers something similar with Google Assistant, and in theory both are a step forward in regard of Siri, Cortana and Alexa.

Samsung will also offer in-DeX, a base that will allow you to use your phone with a keyboard and a monitor, and a user interface adapted to this screen and use a mouse; it’s similar to what was implemented by Microsoft in Windows 10 and the function Continuum (and that Motorola provided with your lapdock makes a five-year period).

it Is unknown how it will work, but it could be something close to what you have developed the Google Chrome OS: a Linux desktop with Android applications. A few years ago Asus was selling another concept (a cell that is inserted into a tablet that connects a keyboard to transform it into a notebook), but the company stopped updating that line a few years ago.

According to Blass, the Galaxy S8 will be presented in New York on the 29th of march; Samsung already did something similar with the Galaxy S4. The following models were unveiled at the Congress of Mobile of Barcelona.
