Samsung announces the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite - Circuit Breaker

After weeks of rumors and leaks, Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite ahead of CES 2020. The phones are budget versions of Samsung’s popular 2019 flagships, and they promise to bring premium features from those high-end phones down to more affordable price points (although Samsung hasn’t said what those prices will be just yet).

Both phones feature 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O displays at 2400 × 1080 resolution, with center-mounted hole-punch front-facing cameras, 4,500mAh batteries, and either 6GB or 8GB of RAM with 128GB internal storage. But the rest of the internal hardware differs greatly between the two devices.

The Galaxy S10 Lite features a Snapdragon 855 processor, while the Galaxy Note 10 Lite offers Samsung’s in-house Exynos 8895 chipset. The rear camera systems both offer triple-lens setups, but they are also completely different on the two phones.

The S10 Lite offers a 5-megapixel f/2.4 macro lens; a 48-megapixel F2.0 wide-angle lens featuring “Super Steady OIS,” a feature that the Note 10 Lite doesn’t offer; and a 12-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide featuring a 123-degree angle lens.

The Note 10 Lite has an entirely different configuration: a 12-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide; a 12-megapixel f/1.7 wide-angle lens with dual-pixel technology and OIS; and a 12-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto lens (also with OIS).

Rounding out the differences, of course, is the S Pen on the Note 10 Lite, which isn’t included with the S10 Lite. The S Pen features the same Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) support introduced with the Note 9 in 2018, allowing it to be used to control the phone.

There’s no word yet on the prices or release dates for the S10 Lite or Note 10 Lite or the markets where they’ll be sold.

Tesla destroys expectations, announces record deliveries of 112,000 cars - Electrek

Tesla has announced its 2019 Q4 delivery and production numbers. The automaker delivered much higher than expected with record deliveries of 112,000 cars.

CEO Elon Musk told employees that Tesla’s top priority was to deliver every car in inventory by the end of the year and it looks like they took him seriously.

Tesla’s previous delivery record was 97,000 cars in Q3.

It was believed that Tesla was going for a new record of 100,000 deliveries in the fourth quarter, but the automaker has now confirmed 112,000 deliveries during the last 3 months of the year.

Tesla confirmed that they have produced 104,891 vehicles during the fourth quarter (also a new record) and delivered an additional 8,000 cars:

Model S/X: 17,933 cars produced and 19,450 delivered
Model 3: 86,958 cars produced and 92,550 delivered
Total: 104,891 cars produced and 112,000 delivered

This story is still developing… refresh for more details.

Here’s the full press release:

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the fourth quarter, we achieved record production of almost 105,000 vehicles and record deliveries of approximately 112,000 vehicles. In 2019, we delivered approximately 367,500 vehicles, 50% more than the previous year and in line with our full year guidance.

Production Deliveries Subject to lease accounting

Model S/X 17,933 19,450 14 %

Model 3 86,958 92,550 7 %

Total 104,891 112,000 8 %

We continue to focus on expanding production in both the US as well as our newly launched facility in Shanghai. Despite breaking ground at Gigafactory Shanghai less than 12 months ago, we have already produced just under 1,000 customer salable cars and have begun deliveries. We have also demonstrated production run-rate capability of greater than 3,000 units per week, excluding local battery pack production which began in late December.

Lastly, we want to thank our customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and supporters who made another record-breaking year possible.

Our net income and cash flow results will be announced along with the rest of our financial performance when we announce Q4 earnings. Our delivery count should be viewed as slightly conservative, as we only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct. Final numbers could vary by up to 0.5% or more. Tesla vehicle deliveries represent only one measure of the company’s financial performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of quarterly financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles.

OnePlus Concept One smartphone has 'invisible' rear cameras - TechRadar India

We already knew that we'd see the OnePlus Concept One smartphone at CES 2020, and we now know what its party piece will be - hidden rear cameras.

The Chinese phone manufacturer took to Twitter ahead of its big reveal in Las Vegas on January 7, to post a teaser video of the new technology in action.

According to Wired, the OnePlus Concept One uses electrochromic glass. This is an electronically tintable glass, which can hide the rear camera lenses behind the flush glass rear of the handset, revealing the trio of sensors only when they're in use.

We’re bringing the #OnePlusConceptOne to #CES2020, but you don’t have to wait: you can get a sneak peek at it right here, along with its groundbreaking “invisible camera” and color-shifting glass technology. pic.twitter.com/elsV9DKctnJanuary 3, 2020

OnePlus has partnered once again with British high-performance car manufacturer McLaren (with whom it's previously released a couple of special edition handsets) to use the same glass as found in some of the latter's vehicles.

A smartphone first

While the cameras will disappear from view, you may still be able to see a faint outline as the glass transitions from transparent to translucent, rather than fully opaque.

This is the first time we've seen this technology feature on a smartphone, with handsets previously hiding cameras via pop-up mechanisms or sliders, as seen on the OnePlus 7 Pro, Oppo Find X and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3.

It's not clear whether the OnePlus Concept One will feature any other new features, but we will be checking out the handset during CES to bring you everything you need to know.

LG unveils eight ‘Real 8K’ OLED and LCD TVs ahead of CES - The Verge

LG has announced eight 8K TVs, ahead of CES. There are two OLED models which are 77 and 88-inches big, and six LCDs measuring between 65 and 75-inches. LG is yet to announce pricing or availability information for any of the sets, but it’s keen to emphasize that they’ll all offer “Real 8K,” in what appears to be a shot across the bow at Samsung and its recently announced certification from the 8K Association.

The announcement marks a continuation of LG’s proxy war with Samsung over what exactly constitutes an 8K TV. While both companies agree that 8K is a resolution of 7680 horizontal pixels by 4320 vertical pixels, the two companies have different ideas about how these should be measured. LG uses the Consumer Technology Association’s definition, which relies on a measurement called “Contrast Modulation” to define its pixels. Meanwhile, Samsung uses the 8K Association’s definition (an organization which LG is not a member of), which doesn’t list any such requirements.

It’s a very technical distinction, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any conclusive evidence about which is the better approach just yet. Check out John Archer’s in-depth explainer over on Forbes if you want to learn more, but don’t expect this to be the last you’ll hear about this mini format war.

Regardless of resolution disagreements, LG’s newly announced TVs should offer much better support for 8K content. The TVs now support HEVC, VP9, and AV1 content natively, which is notable when its previous 8K TV required an external decoder box to decode the YouTube-backed AV1 codec. The TVs are also equipped with HDMI inputs that can handle 60 fps content at 8K resolution.

Internally LG’s TVs are equipped with the company’s new Alpha 9 Gen 3 processor, which it says uses deep learning technology to optimize both picture and sound quality. The processor can upscale video to 8K and audio to 5.1 surround sound, and can also recognize faces and text on-screen, tweaking picture quality to improve the appearance of both.

Support for Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistants returns from last year, as does HomeKit and AirPlay 2 compatibility. LG also says that the TVs will be upgraded with Alexa far-field voice compatibility in the future, and that the TVs can be used to monitor and control supported IoT devices from their dashboard.

Despite the amount of noise being made about the new resolution, LG and Samsung’s disagreement shows that 8K is a technology that’s still in its infancy. There’s not just a lack of native 8K content; key TV manufacturers can’t even agree on the same definition for the new resolution.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Book Flex Alpha has QLED display, costs just $829 - Ars Technica

Samsung
Like other Galaxy Book laptops, this one will have a QLED display.

Samsung
It measures 13.9mm thick and has a similar design to the Galaxy Book Flex and the Galaxy Book Ion.

Samsung
Samsung estimates it will have a 17.5-hour battery life.

Samsung
The Galaxy Book Flex Alpha is the most affordable in the Galaxy Book lineup, starting at $829.

Samsung

The first members of Samsung's new Galaxy Book laptop family have yet to appear, but the company is already expanding the lineup. The new Galaxy Book Flex α (Alpha) is an offshoot of the Galaxy Flex, one of the three Galaxy Books announced last year, and it gives users a slightly more affordable way to pick up Samsung's newest QLED laptops.

The Flex Alpha will start at $829 when it comes out later this year, which is more affordable than the presumed price of both the Galaxy Book Flex and the Galaxy Book Ion (around $1,100 and $1,400, respectively). The 2-in-1 machine has a design that melds the Flex and the Ion, with squared-off edges and a chassis that measures 13.9mm thick.

The star of the Flex Alpha is its 600-nit, QLED display—a signature of the Galaxy Book Flex and the Ion, and arguably even more impressive on the Flex Alpha considering its price tag. QLED displays can rival OLED panels with their rich colors and deep blacks, and the panel on the Flex Alpha will likely be one of its biggest selling points.

The Galaxy Book Flex Alpha will last 17.5 hours on a single charge, and it supports fast charging for getting a decent amount of juice in a short period of time. Samsung hasn't released full specs yet, but we'll update this article with them when the company does so.

Both the Galaxy Book Flex and the Galaxy Book Ion support 10th-gen Intel processors and up to Nvidia MX250 graphics, along with perks like Wireless Powershare, a feature that lets you charge Qi-compatible devices by placing them on the laptops' trackpads. The Galaxy Book Flex Alpha probably won't have those things, as Samsung had to make some sacrifices to lower the price here.

On paper, the Galaxy Book Flex Alpha and the rest of the Galaxy Book line appear to be solid contenders in the mid-tier to premium laptop space. The Galaxy Book S was the first of the bunch to be announced last August, but we're only now getting details of its release: sometime in Q1 2020. This is the thinnest and lightest laptop of the group, and it runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx ARM processor (an Intel variant is scheduled for later this year). It's designed to be an "always-on," ultra-portable laptop with LTE connectivity, a fanless design, a promised 23-hour battery life, and improved performance over what was available on its predecessor, the Galaxy Book 2.

Samsung is clearly trying to become a more serious player in the consumer laptop space than it was with previous Galaxy Books and Notebook 9s. We're eager to give all of these laptops a spin, particularly to use their QLED displays and to see how well Samsung's battery life claims hold up.

The Galaxy Book Flex Alpha will be available in the first half of 2020 starting at $829.
