The tablets’ industry seeks to regain positioning in the market. Samsung brings a new product, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 model, which will maintain its design, but will offer improved hardware and an update to the Android version and interface.

With the focus on “lite” products, Samsung will offer the same device but improved. So, it will be normal for users to appreciate features such as the “10.4-inch multi-touch LCD screen, with native resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels, as well as support for optical pens such as the South Korean brand’s own S Pen.”

However, there will be news inside the tablet. It incorporates a Samsung Exynos 1280 SoC with a combination of two high-performance ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores. “With six Cortex-A55 cores, and integrated Mali-G68 MC4 graphics to optimize the developments of the latest versions.”

As for the configuration, it will offer “at least 4 Gbyte of RAM and 64 Gbytes of internal storage”, with support for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless standards. In addition, users will enjoy “stereo speakers, front and rear cameras, USB port for charging and data, 7040 mAh battery and the usual sensors in tablets, GPS included.”

Regarding the software, there will be an update with the One UI layer created by the company for its mobile devices on Android 14.

TikTok users will be able to enjoy a better experience on tablets and foldable phones, thanks to the new update to the platform’s interface.

On large screens, interaction will be optimized thanks to changes that “seek to make video viewing and navigation more comfortable on these larger screens, responding to the growth of new models and user preference for these alternatives.”

TikTok has noted that the update includes improvements to aspects such as video clarity and quality, which translates into a more immersive visual experience. “In addition, three key aspects of the interface will be optimized: video quality, navigation and use in landscape mode.”

Users will have new navigation bars at the top and bottom of the screen that will make access to the app’s functions and tabs much easier.

Additionally, it will include support for landscape mode, with which the user will be able to rotate their devices for a more comfortable viewing. “The video will be centered on the screen, with two gray areas on the sides to focus attention on the content.”

Another novelty is that the app is now compatible with any orientation. This makes it easier for the user to adapt the video in both portrait and landscape mode, regardless of how the device is held.

Ambient temperature, as well as heating and air conditioning, can affect the operation of electronic devices, such as cell phones, cameras, laptops, among others.

Moving from a warm environment to one with a very low temperature could cause the smartphone not to turn on, to mention the device most used in daily life. But the effect could be greater if due to the cold in open spaces moisture enters the internal elements, causing condensation or corrosion.

As an initial protection measure, it is recommended to carry the smartphone in a cloth cover that allows it to be kept at an adequate temperature for proper operation. On the other hand, it is also recommended, when changing the environment, to wait a few minutes for the device to adapt naturally and then turn it on.

Sudden temperature changes can have a high impact on these devices. “Going from the cold outside to an interior where the heating is very high” is a very common example. This action, which is normal for the user, could generate problems in the medium and long term, and even irreversible damage, due to “sulfation and corrosion,” according to PcComponentes experts.

A simple tip to warm up the equipment is to warm it up with your own hands before turning it on, and to prevent it from restarting on its own or simply not loading data and applications correctly, or affecting battery performance.

In the case of computers, both office and home laptops, their internal components are highly sensitive to low temperatures. Batteries, hard drives, for example, must be extremely careful of shocks between high and low temperatures, whether natural or artificial.

Google has announced the release of a new version of Google Chrome that introduces productivity-focused improvements, such as a new split-screen layout that makes it easier to find tabs while browsing, and tab groups, coming soon to your browser.

The company has reported that these developments are now available on all Android tablets and that they will then arrive at the first Pixel tablet, whose launch is expected in 2023.

One of the notable features of this update, which introduces functionalities aimed at improving productivity, is the introduction of split screen, which improves navigation between tabs.

With this new design, Google allows you to navigate between tabs by sliding your fingers on the navigation bar. Also, it introduces an auto-scroll back feature, which helps users to go back to the previous tab.

On the other hand, the company has reported that it will hide the close window button in order to avoid inadvertent closings when the windows are small (if several are open at the same time).

It has also introduced a new preview of tabs arranged in a grid, to improve the search for the desired tab without the need to consult all the web pages that are open.

Users will also be able to easily save content while browsing with a single gesture, that is, by dragging images, text and links from the Google Chrome browser to other applications. Among them, Gmail, Photos or Keep (notes).

Google has also stressed that from now on, it is possible on tablets with Android operating system to choose the desktop mode of a web page. That way, they can use features that are not available in the web versions whenever they want.

Finally, the company has indicated that groups of tabs, which allow greater organization and a more intuitive experience, will soon arrive at tablets that use Chrome.

Users of mobile phones and other electronic or digital devices will have a universal charger from 2024 thanks to the fact that the European Parliament has concluded the legislative process on this matter.

The skein of cables that is currently seen in homes and offices will gradually disappear as the provision is applied, at least initially, in the European bloc. Without a doubt, it will spread to the rest of the continents.

Since 2014, the discussion of a common charger for laptops, mobile phones, digital cameras and other devices has been introduced. In 2021, the European Commission faced slow progress in the negotiations, as industry players had not shown a good disposition.

However, a recent plenary decision of the European Parliament concluded that it is definitely necessary to eliminate the different cables used in everyday devices so that a universal charger is used from 2024.

This means that from that year all electronic devices sold must incorporate a USB-C port and thus facilitate charging. And from 2026 the measure will be extended to laptops.

MEPs have not left out the issue of fast charging, so they are focused on all devices benefiting from the same charging speed. The decision, with more than 600 votes in favor in Parliament, emphasizes the need to free consumers from the impositions established by the manufacturers of electronic devices.

WhatsApp began testing the linking of tablets with the Android operating system to use the messaging service on a secondary computer, different from the mobile device where the account is installed.

Users of the WhatsApp Android beta (v2.22.21.6:) can now link an Android tablet to their account in the messaging service, as one of the four different devices it supports. The device with the account can be Android, but also an iPhone.

The user will be able to link a tablet from the WhatsApp settings on the phone, where they will have to go to “Link a device” and scan a QR code that they will see on the screen of the tablet. This process starts the synchronization of the messages between the two computers.

Once the synchronization is complete, WaBetaInfo confirms that WhatsApp can be used on the tablet without the need for the mobile to have an Internet connection or be turned on.

Smartphones are a class piece in communications today. Users want to keep them active as long as possible. The battery, however, runs out after several hours of use. To replace the recharge, they have designed a wireless laser charger that works up to 30 meters away.

The innovation is the result of studies by a group of Korean engineers, who realized that wireless charging is not done through the air. From there, they focused on an infrared laser system that sends charge to multiple phones at once.

You can also send load to other equipment such as laptops. This is much more convenient and efficient for users of these devices, who can continue working without interruption.

The test phase allows a 400 mW light beam to be sent 30 meters, “where the 10×10 mm receiver converted it into 85 mW of electrical energy, enough to charge devices.”

According to the New Atlas publication, the receiver “has a point where this incoming light is directed, where there is a photovoltaic cell waiting to absorb the light and produce electricity.” That’s how it works.

According to the developers, the wireless laser charger can be placed wherever the user wants it, connected to the receiver that could be built into smartphones.

European countries and legislators in Parliament have agreed to adopt a universal charger for smartphones, tablets and wearable devices starting in the fall of 2024.

The standard establishes that all devices will have a USB-C port with the purpose of “limiting the toxic waste of thousands and thousands of cables of various formats, and defending the right of consumers, forced for now, to accumulate various chargers.“

Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for Industry, stressed that the agreement was reached after nine months of negotiations, which in his opinion means “that we can move quickly when there is a political disposition.” He also indicated that the general interest of the European Union has prevailed.

The legal agreement must be formally ratified by the European Parliament, as well as by the 27 states of the block, before it can enter into force.

Sustainable products for the EU

In an official statement, the European Parliament explained that these legal regulations are part of a broad effort being made by the eurozone to obtain more “sustainable” products, reduce electronic waste and make life easier for consumers.

With the use of the universal charger, users will not need different cables to charge their new devices since they can use the same charger for all “small and medium portable electronic equipment.”

The Parliament also highlighted that the charging speed will be “harmonized for devices that support fast charging, allowing users to charge their devices at the same speed with any compatible charger”.

For his part, MEP Andrey Kovatchev indicated that the regulations will make life easier for consumers in the eurozone and improve the environment. “It’s time to put an end to the bundles of cables that we all have in our drawers, and reduce about 11,000 tons of electronic waste per year,” he affirmed.

The figures that the EU manages indicate that they “spend a total of about 2,400 million euros (about 2,800 million dollars) annually on cables and adapters to charge their mobile devices.”

Defeat for Apple

When the project was presented, the technological giant Apple presented its disagreement, saying that it was “hugely disproportionate to any problem that could be perceived”, in addition to limiting the “options of European consumers by removing older and cheaper models from the market”. The company defends its lightning connection and charging technology.

For 2009, the European Commission promoted agreements with technology companies to voluntarily adopt the reduction of cables. however, it failed to convince Apple. The company considers that the “adoption of a single charger is a brake on innovation.”

With the approval of the norm, MEP Alex Agius Saliba assured that the law must be applied equally to all, therefore “If Apple (…) or any other wants to market its products, abd sell them in our internal market, it will have to follow the rules and their device must have a USB-C port,” he said.

Google has officially introduced the version of Android for tablets, Android 12L, which will be available on devices from manufacturers such as Samsung, Microsoft and Lenovo with optimizations designed to take advantage of larger screens.

Android 12L is the version of the mobile operating system optimized for larger screens, such as tablets, in order to offer more information. In it, Google has introduced visible changes, such as the placement of notifications and quick configuration options, which no longer appear in the same column, one on top of the other, but in two.

The configuration of a new device also takes advantage of this breadth to display the options in two columns: one with the configuration and another where the changes made are reflected, as Google has shared on its official blog.

The taskbar has also been optimized to facilitate multitasking, with a split screen mode that allows you to load two applications at the same time or even modify the area that each of them will occupy.

This operating system will later come to compatible equipment from brands such as Samsung, Lenovo and Microsoft.

Google announced that early next year 2022 it will officially launch the new Android 12 update designed specifically for devices with large screens, such as tablets, folding devices and Chromebooks, under the name Android 12L.

The company communicated through Android Dev Summit that the Android 12L will have new tools that will facilitate its use on large screens and will include improvements in multitasking.

In addition, it adds a new application programming interface (API), a set of tools that allows external developers to create applications compatible with this platform.

With Android 12L, Google seeks to adjust this operating system to the needs of devices with large screens and adapt to these formats, in order to make better use of its space, optimize applications and enhance productivity.

Greater efficiency

According to the search engine, in Android 12L they seek to improve the interface through a new design of the notification system, lock screen or home screen, as well as quick adjustments of devices that exceed 600dp.

The interface presents a notification panel that is divided into two panels (also its lock screen), intended for quick settings (shortcuts to the alarm configuration panel, WiFi, Bluetooth) and another in which the notifications of messages and interactions are displayed.

Also, Android 12L presents a new task bar to more easily manage applications as if it were a computer desktop, as well as a divided screen in which two applications can be opened simultaneously.

Android 12L is already available in its development phase through an emulator, but Google will carry out its official launch in early 2022 taking advantage of the launch of new devices with large screens.
