Samsung Galaxy Note 10 may come in a compact form factor

Highlights: Samung might be working on a smaller Galaxy Note device. This could be aimed at emulating the success of the Galaxy S10E. Samsung is procuring components indivdiually for two different Note devices. Now that the Samsung Galaxy S10 series has hit the market, the focus is now on the upcoming Galaxy Note. Expected to be called the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, a new report claims Samsung will launch a compact variant of the upcoming device. A South Korean report states this would be the first time Samsung will launch more than one variant of the Galaxy Note. Given that there are four models of the Samsung Galaxy S10, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Galaxy Note is also given a similar treatment. The Galaxy Note series has always been aimed at productivity enthusiasts who require a bigger screen. If the report is true, Samsung will target a new bunch of users with a smaller Galaxy Note. Reports coming out of South Korea suggests the smaller Galaxy Note may be shipped to select few markets only, especially in Europe. It could be a bid to acquire users who prefer a compact form factor and are not too comfortable using very large displays. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is expected to come with a 6.7-inch display, same as the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. It could be possible that the smaller variant will come with a 6.4-inch display, same as the Galaxy Note 9. The report outlines that Samsung is sourcing parts from the supply-chain for both models separately. That could be an indication that the two devices will come with differentiated hardware, same as the Galaxy S10E. While most of it is mere speculation at this point, it’s entirely possible that Samsung is planning to diversify the Galaxy Note series to attract more users. It’s also expected that Samsung will announce a 5G variant of the Galaxy Note 10 along with a standard 4G variant.

16-year-old commits suicide after being scolded for playing PUBG

In an unfortunate incident, a 16-year-old student in Hyderabad reportedly commited suicide after being scolded for playing PUBG Mobile for too long. According to a report by the Times of India, the student, Kallakuri Sambashiva killed himself after his mother scolded him for playing the game instead of studying.  The report notes that the student’s father lodged a complaint with the police in which he mentions “Sambashiva used to play video game on phone and my wife Umadevi warned him not to play the game on Monday night. My son got angry and committed suicide by hanging in his bedroom.” This isn’t the first death that has been attributed to the hugely popular mobile game. The addictiveness of the game is subject of much debate and some have called for a ban on the game. Certain places in the country had temporarily banned the game, leading to some arrests. Even the game developers have come forward to try and control its player base. The game recently started restricting players to 6 hours a day, while giving them a ‘Health Reminder.” However, the developers later said that there was an error with players reportedly being stopped from playing even though they only played for a few minutes.  While gaming addiction has been noted as a legitimate disorder by the World Health Organisation, it’s imperative that gamers themselves take stock of the time they spend gaming and if it is negatively impacting their lives. Players should also remember that there is no game or object in the world that is worth their lives.

DC Dimming feature coming to OnePlus phones: Top executive

Highlights: OnePlus to roll out DC Dimming feature in future updates. Internally, the demo has worked fine. It will be released as an optional feature. OnePlus became a top brand in India not only due to the competitive price of its phones, but also because it brings a lot of features, like Nightscape photography (like Google’s Night Sight) to its devices. In the latest development, OnePlus is bringing a display-related technology which is reportedly gaining a lot traction. With the increasing use of the OLED panels in the smartphone industry, DC Dimming feature has been looked upon the next big thing and OnePlus looks to be one of the early adopters. What is DC Dimming? In layman’s terms, DC dimming feature automatically adjusts (dims and lightens up) the brightness of the phone’s display according to the ambient environment. Now almost every phone has this “adjustment feature” in them but it is NOT DC Dimming. The feature is a more effective way of controlling the light output of an LED fixture. The technology uses a DC current to control the output, that is, if the voltage goes up, the display will emit more light and vice-versa. DC dimming is one of the most effective way to reduce the low-brightness strobe. Oppo has already showed a demo of the tech in a short video and announced that the Oppo Reno will have this technology. Xiaomi introduced DC dimming with its Black Shark 2, and the Mi 9 may also get this in upcoming MIUI updates. OnePlus will be the latest addition to the list of companies to include the DC Dimming. Company CEO Pete Lau posted on Weibo that OnePlus is also considering to roll out DC dimming functionality in future updates. However, every OnePlus user may not be able to use this feature initially. Lau said that the feature’s demo has gone well within the development team and the company will roll it out to those who are willing to test it early. It is expected to be available in the OnePlus Laboratory or within the Developer Options. Related Read: OnePlus 3, 3T users waiting for Android Pie asked to be more patient
