Galaxy Note 7 : Samsung launches its TV ad to reassure on its … – Phonandroid

Maxime Lancelin-Golbery February 8, 2017

Samsung has had a year end of sulfurous in 2016, while the batteries of its Galayx Note 7 exploded one after the other. A sordid history that have affected the general public, the constructor should win now. To do this, it launches an advertisement on television and on the web, in order to reassure the quality of the batteries it produces.

2016 will resound in the market of smartphones, but not for devices that the new year will bring. Quite the contrary, it will resound to the sudden collapse in Samsung, which has encountered a major problem with his Galaxy Note 7 and had to purely and simply cancel it.

We all know now, this problem has been officially identified as a problem with the battery, which will hit the first wave of devices as their replacements are supposed to be safe. But this will not have prevented the damage done to the image of Samsung.

It is in this perspective that we noticed in recent days the appearance of an advertisement on French television, on the M6 and TMC in particular, to hours of great listening. The ad, available on the internet, put in before the new process of manufacture of batteries of Samsung and wants to be extremely reassuring.

Ironically, it is at the same time as the factory in charge of the creation of its batteries caught fire today, but nevertheless, here we see the manufacturer try to regild his blazon to the general public. He puts here before the 8 steps of quality control that he has now put in place in its factories.

Being broadcast at prime-time, it marks the first step of Samsung to forget the matter and look to the future. It is a future that we will unveil the Galaxy S8 and the design of the borderless, marking a new step for the constructor.

Redmi Note 4X : Xiaomi dance the waltz of the SoC – The Digital

the Six months after having introduced the Redmi Note 4, already declined with two SoC separate, Xiaomi has just updated its range with the Redmi Note 4X, which is based on several different chips.
At the end of the month of August last year, Xiaomi was the Redmi Note 4, the successor to the Redmi Note 3. At the heart of the spacecraft, there was an SoC Helio X20 supported by 3 Gb of ram. A few months later, however, it is a chip Qualcomm, namely the Snapdragon 625, head past the Redmi Note 4 (stamped Pro for the occasion) outside of China. A few more weeks have passed and the manufacturer is coming again to enlarge the family. Good news, there is no question of a third model, dubbed Redmi Note 4, but a brand new Redmi Note 4X. B ad news for fans of clarity, the name cache again, several profiles hardware different.

in practical terms, all the Redmi Note 4X reproduce the look of the Redmi Note 4. We thus find the same dress, embellished with a Full HD screen of 5.5 inches (≈14 cm diagonal ; 1 920 x 1 080 px ; 401 ppi), two APN of 13 and 5 Megapixel and a fingerprint reader. A battery of 4,100 mAh battery is also present in all cases. The SoC, however, is not the same according to the grinds. On the version dedicated to the character Hatsune Miku, put forward by the constructor, this is, once again, the Snapdragon 625, which animates MIUI 8 (Android-6.x), supported by 4 Gb of ram. The website of the manufacturer, however, did state in parallel with a Redmi Note 4X without any branding, with a chip Snapdragon 653.

On the technical side, this means that the first one has 8 cores architecture Cortex-A53, while the second is based on 4 core Cortex-A72 (more efficient) and 4 cores Cortex-A53. The graphics, for its part, is based on a GPU Adreno 506 within the Snapdragon 625 and a GPU Adreno 510 (best) within the Snapdragon 653. In the margin of this power gap, however, no major difference should not jump to the eyes. The two chips handle a maximum throughput of 300 Mb/s in download, the VoLTE and the same standards of connectivity (Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, etc.). There are also 64 Gb of internal memory and a microSD port, regardless of the grind.

For the time being, we know that the version of Hatsune Miku must land on the shelves of chinese on the 14th of February, at a price yet unknown. The Redmi Note 4X “short”, for its part, has no timetable, but appears already at the rate of 269,99 $ , evening approximately 253 €.

Ecotax : these are the motorists who pay the note according to the Court … – Capital.fr

Failed”strategic”, “waste heritage, social and industrial”… the Court of auditors does not mince his words in denouncing the management of the environmental tax, the draft taxation of heavy goods vehicles ultimately buried by the State. The removal of this device is, in effect, results in a huge cost to the taxpayer, are the magistrates in their annual report.

at the base, the project was still ambitious. This was to apply a charge for mileage to the approximately 800.000 heavy weight of more than 3.5 tonnes, of which 550.000 French. The idea being to encourage the economic actors to favour other modes of transport to the road… but also to bring back the 890 million additional euros each year into public coffers.

Passed in 2009, the measure was intended to apply in July 2013. Las : the project has been postponed for the first time, before being suspended in October 2013, in the face of opposition from road hauliers in particular, then definitely buried a year later.

To offset the loss of revenue, the executive has been voted in the urgency to increase the tax on diesel, generating tax revenues a little higher. Except that this measure has not hit the same audience : while the heavy-duty foreign would finance 31% of the environmental tax, they have been almost completely spared by the over-taxation of diesel (only 2% of the revenue). By contrast, other road users, particularly motorists, who were not supposed to be affected by the environmental tax, contribute close to 57% with regard to the increased taxation of diesel oil, or 652 million euros per year !

Another major problem : it was necessary to compensate Ecomouv’, the private partner had been selected to collect the ecotax. Cost of the compensation for the taxpayer : 958 million euros. Add to that 70 million spent by the government to implement and then break the contract. Not to forget the 53 million loss in annual revenue related to the lowering of the tax to the axle, which had to be offset by the ecotax.

This is not all : the Court estimated at 270 million euros, the financial risk of litigation is still ongoing, “related to requests from claims made by some companies of the electronic toll collection”, she says. It has probably not yet finished talking about the mess of environmental…

as Soon as it is attached to a correspondence from a lawyer, a note of fees is covered by the obligation of professional secrecy and, therefore, untouchable by the agents of the administration.

The legal bills attached to a correspondence from a lawyer are covered by the privilege without having to make a distinction between the correspondence and the documents that are attached.

These bills are, therefore, elusive.

In the wake of this decision, and nuances to a previous decision (Cass.com. 20-10-1998 n° 1565 (D), the Court finds here that the legal bills are also covered by professional secrecy when they are joined to connections of the lawyers.

The wording of the judgment implies that the solution applies more generally to attachment to a corresponding lawyer.

Galaxy S8 vs Galaxy S7 and Note 7 : how Samsung has reduced the … – Phonandroid

Gabriel Manceau February 7, 2017

The design of the Galaxy S8 and S8 will be quite close to those of the S7 and Note 7 on some points, but this is not to say that Samsung has not improved. It is this that highlight these computer assisted design (CAD), with a focus on three elements, including the camera of the next smartphone Korean.

This is OnLeaks that shares these three drawings showing the changes that have been made on the Galaxy S8 compared to the Note 7 and the Galaxy S7. On the first, there is an outgrowth of the camera less and less important. While this last one does 1 mm on the S7, it was 0.8 mm on the Note 7, the camera on the Galaxy S8 should become almost invisible with its 0.2 mm.

A smoothness of which we have already had a preview when we tested the Galaxy A3 and A5 2017, who are already benefiting from this improvement in the manufacturing process. It is a step forward in terms of design, but also a response to the request of users who didn’t like too much this outgrowth, probably for fear of scratching the glass of the photo sensor, even if this latter is concerned not much with a sapphire.

More outgrowth on the camera of the Galaxy S8

The second picture shows the wrapping of the front sensor on the Galaxy S8. Where the S7 has four, and the Note 7 to five, with the sensor of the Iris, in particular, the next mobile high-end brand should not be less than six ! You can find these sensors in the video rendering is very accurate of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Most of which we were talking about this morning.

Finally, it is the thickness of the three models is compared. This last should not be too much change, even if the S8 will be 0.1 mm, compared to its predecessors, which should be imperceptible. It is also a proof that the current design of Samsung phones has reached a certain maturity and that the brand is Korean don’t try necessarily to make mobile always most purposes.

These images are, of course, to be accepted with caution, since they are not official, even if the different sources regarding the design of the next top of the range appear to overlap. If this comes to be confirmed, what do you think of the design of the Galaxy S8 and S8 More ?

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 : the findings of the investigation confirmed … – Fredzone

Samsung will finally be able to turn the page and move on to something else. The Korean authorities have carefully considered the findings of the investigation on the Galaxy Note 7 and they have confirmed the conclusions of the mark. For them, the battery of the device was at fault.

The phablet Korean had something for everyone. A neat design, a technical sheet promising, intelligent features and good thoughts… The device was promised to a very bright future, but not everything has not gone exactly as planned.

The Galaxy Note 7 was promised a bright future.

The Galaxy Note 7 has, in fact, very soon showed signs of overheating and many users have even been confronted with explosions.

The Galaxy Note 7 was promised to a bright future

Samsung has been resulted in a real downward spiral. The company began by launching the first reminder, but the latter has not had the desired effect. The replacement models had the same defects. For lack of any alternative, the brand has decided to put a definitive end to the production of his telephone.

This failure has cost him dearly, particularly in terms of image. The firm has therefore conducted a survey background in order to shed light on this great fiasco of technology. Hundreds of engineers were mobilized and many tests have been conducted.

She then held a press conference to publicly present the findings of the investigation. Having a hard time, but necessary to restore the image of the company.

Relatively dense, the report referred to two problems caused by problems both in connection with the battery terminal.

Two problems caused in connection with the battery

Samsung SDI was the first to commit an error. In order to get the batteries in the housing of the terminal, the subsidiary of Samsung has in effect voluntarily crushed the corners of the room, bringing at the same time its two electrodes.

in the Face of the situation, the Korean giant has cut its production lines, and asked them to ATL to take over on the drums. Only problem, the supplier had not anticipated such a request. In order to better meet its contract, it has accelerated the pace… and botched a part of his work.

Two different problems for the same result, therefore.

The KAT (Korea Agency for Technology and Standards) was not content of this report. She has conducted its own investigation on his side. After conducting a lengthy investigation, it has come to the conclusion that the problem is that many batteries… and not the terminal itself.

in arriving at these conclusions, the agency has appointed 13 experts and asked them to analyze 14 terminals that have caught fire and 46 models which have presented no problems of overheating in particular. In parallel, they also examined 169 batteries supplied by Samsung SDI, and by ATL.

the design of The Galaxy Note 7 is not in question

After you have reviewed the models that have caught fire, experts have noticed that the damage was concentrated around the housing of the battery.

They then focused their attention on the batteries provided by ATL and they have noticed that some of them had a defect : one pin of the anode was clear from his housing. According to them, it is a flaw that is at the origin of the second wave of explosions suffered by the Galaxy Note 7.

The batteries supplied by Samsung SDI did not better unfortunately. They had also a defect. The corners had been crushed… or depressed.

The fault in the design ? Obviously not. The experts of the KAT have taken on the dimensions of the device, its components and of the accommodation assigned to the battery. By compiling all this information, they have realized that the Galaxy Note 7 provided a ratio of free space equivalent to that of the Galaxy S7 Edge at the level of the battery. They therefore deduced that the problem came from the battery itself.

Samsung is out of the question ? Not at all. In fact, based on the report submitted by the organization, this fiasco would have perfectly been avoided if the brand is Korean had put in place procedures to control more flare-ups. Interestingly, it was specifically made for the Galaxy S8 and it is precisely for this reason that the terminal will not be ready in time for the World Mobile Congress.
