Patent for Google Pixel 7 smartphone with cameras and sensors under the display

By pratik patil January 3, 2022

Ignoring the fact that the Google Pixel smartphones are only available in a few countries, the phones have sparked a lot of curiosity. Consider the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which were released this fall. A cheaper Pixel 6a is also expected in the first part of 2022. Google has experimented with many sorts of selfie cameras throughout the years. A punch-hole camera is included in the most current versions.

The front camera was still embedded into the screen edge a few years back. The Pixel 3 XL, a Google Pixel phone featuring a notch, was also announced. Meanwhile, according to a newly disclosed patent, the American search engine behemoth is working on an under-screen camera.

The Google Pixel 7 might feature a camera built into the display.

Google LLC submitted a patent for a ‘Display arrangement for mobile computing devices with the USPTO (the United States Patent and Trademark Office) on August 31, 2021. On December 16, 2021, the 16-page documentation was released.

According to the specification, a greater screen area is required without increasing the phone’s overall size. Other components, like the selfie camera, must be put elsewhere in order to offer a full-screen experience. An under-panel camera is being considered as a possible solution.

There have already been a few examples of this new form of selfie camera. Consider the ZTE Axon 30, Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. One for phones with front-facing cameras that are processed beneath the screen. This technique appears to have a future for Google as well.

It’s also not the first time we’ve reported about a Google Pixel smartphone patent that includes an under-screen camera. The appropriate documentation for this was also put down by the American manufacturer in May of this year. This time, the technology employed is different.

Former Samsung Display employee’s invention

It’s also important to note that Sangmoo Choi devised the Google-patented technique. Mr Choi has worked for Google for 3.5 years and currently holds the role of ‘Staff display hardware engineer.’ According to his LinkedIn page, he spent more than 14 years with Samsung Display as a ‘Principal Engineer’ with the responsibility of ‘Team lead for new AMOLED technology development.’

3D renders of the Samsung Galaxy A83 5G with a water drop camera design.

By pratik patil December 20, 2021

In 3D product renderings, the Samsung Galaxy A83 is depicted. Like the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it has an upgraded triple camera with a water drop camera design. We already know a lot about the Samsung Galaxy A series line for 2022 in recent weeks. Consider the Samsung Galaxy A13, A33, A53, and A73. It’s also possible that a more sophisticated Galaxy A83 may be released. The Galaxy A82 was only introduced last year in China and India, where it was dubbed the Galaxy Quantum 2 model. It is the successor of the iconic Galaxy A80, and it has a revolving camera that can be retracted.

In April 2021, the Quantum 2 / A82 was shown. The successor’s details are still scant. That didn’t stop Technizo Idea, a graphic designer, from inventing his own concept template. The phone is available in two colour options: traditional black and cool green.

A flat AMOLED display is included on the Samsung A83.

The Samsung A83 5G designed by Technizo Concept has clear characteristics of the popular A-series, but also the high-end S series. The front shows a beautiful screen filling the screen. Presumably, the device will again be equipped with a large flat screen. Think of a 6.6 “screen – just like the Galaxy S22 Plus. It is most likely a dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Maybe the screen supports a resolution. High QHD +, as is the case with the Quantum 2. This is unlike the Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus – both have reduced image resolution, resulting in a Full HD + display. The Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus are expected to have a Full HD + display again. Galaxy S22 Ultra (S22 Note) will support QHD + resolution. It would be good for Samsung to keep a budget model in its range with this high screen resolution. The A83 would be ideal for this. The fingerprint sensor is also likely to be processed under the screen.

LG is working on a patent for folding automobile dashboard display.

By pratik patil December 11, 2021

LG looks to be developing a new foldable display for in-car entertainment. The patent was submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization by the South Korean behemoth (WIPO). It’s possible that the corporation is employing the same technology that is used for LG’s smart TVs and rollable phones.

LG appears to be working on a roll-up display panel for an automotive infotainment system, according to a patent application filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The app, as 91mobiles noted, has foldable infotainment system design designs, giving us information on what to expect.

The dashboard’s display panel extends from the back to reveal a bigger screen. Depending on the resolution, the design creates the appearance that the panel can display content both folded and unfolded. Furthermore, when the display is open, the size of the display doubles. LG is most likely utilising technologies from its renowned roll-up smart TVs. LG had teased a rollable smartphone earlier this year, however, after hyping the flexible screen phone, the company chose to wind down its smartphone business.

The flexible design of the foldable infotainment screen should save space on the car’s dashboard and also provide (somewhat) eye protection when technically not in use. Unfortunately, the patent description does not reveal the technical details, such as panel dimensions, usage scenarios, panel compatibility, etc.

Samsung has patents for a rotating and rollable display on its Galaxy Watch.

By pratik patil December 11, 2021

You might read more about a rolling Samsung Galaxy smartwatch in development with a sliding screen and camera on LetsGoDigital earlier this week. While several smartwatches with flexible displays have been shown and even launched before, such as the Nubia Alpha, this was the first time we saw one with a rollable screen.

Samsung Galaxy smartwatch rotating and rollable display

This invention, however, is not unique; Samsung Electronics recently received a patent for a winding linked watch. The latest Samsung model is considerably more sophisticated, with the ability to swivel on the wrist. Depending on the programme, this will zoom the screen horizontally or vertically. For the user, this opens up a slew of new possibilities.

Samsung’s rollable smartwatch features compatibility for the S Pen.

This is a patent that Samsung Electronics filed on May 3, 2021, with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO). The documentation titled “Electronic device including a flexible display and its operation” was released on December 9, 2021. It is a detailed patent that occupies no less than 113 pages – I do not remember having dealt with a patent any more. prolonged. This watch is therefore full of possibilities, unlike anything we’ve seen before. The patented Samsung Galaxy Watch has a square screen. it’s a crown on the side. However, this is mainly done through the touchscreen. Surprisingly, the documentation also talks about compatibility with a stylus. Samsung naturally has several smartphones in its range with an S Pen. Think of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 3 are also compatible with Samsung’s S Pen. Just like the Galaxy S22 Ultra expected in February. Tablets like the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus can also be used with the Samsung stylus. Smartwatches, on the other hand, have a significantly smaller screen, which means the benefits of a stylus are minimal.

The screen on this smartwatch, on the other hand, can be expanded, so Samsung is exploring making it compatible with a stylus. Due to the device’s size, an S Pen container will certainly be impossible to incorporate. It will, however, be functional with a stylus. There is no apparent bezel between the two halves of the screen this time, unlike the spherical rollable smartwatch that LetsGoDigital revealed earlier this week. Samsung was able to resolve the issue internally, which we’ll discuss later in this article. The top of the frame detaches from the bottom of the frame when the screen is removed.

A semi-circular rail is positioned between them so that it remains a sturdy and elegant whole. When fully extended, the screen is twice as large as in the most compact position. Where 12 icons can be displayed as standard, it is 24 in the extended position – this can be inferred from the patent illustrations. The screen isn’t as big as the foldable smartwatch Oppo released in 2019, but you can obviously work much more efficiently on such a large screen.

The world’s first LPDDR5X DRAM is developed by Samsung.

By pratik patil November 9, 2021

Samsung’s LPDDR5X DRAM offers over 1.3x higher processing rates while using over 20% less power than the prior LPDDR5 technology. Outside smartphones, the LPDDR5X solution will expand the usage of high-performance, low-power memory to AI and IoT technologies.

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in innovative memory technology, today announced the development of the industry’s first 14-nanometer (nm) based 16-gigabit (Gb) Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM, targeted at improving development in high-speed data development services such as 5G, AI, and the virtual world.

“Hyperconnected market areas such as AI, smart glasses (AR), and the metaverse, which rely on highly fast big data processing, have been quickly developing in recent times,” stated SangJoon Hwang, Senior Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ DRAM Design Team. “In out LPDDR5X will expand the usage of high-performance, low-power memory beyond smartphones, bringing new possibilities to AI-based utilized to expand such as servers and even automobiles,” says the company.

Its LPDDR5X DRAM will have processing capabilities of up to 8.5 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is more than 1.3 times better than the 6.4 Gbps of LPDDR5. This will require roughly 20% less power than LPDDR5 memory, thanks to the industry’s most sophisticated 14nm DRAM production technology. Also, the 16GB LPDDR5X chip will allow for up to 64 gigabytes (GB) of memory per memory packet.

Samsung will begin working with global chipset makers later this year to develop a more possible framework for the growing world of virtual reality, with its LPDDR5X acting as a crucial component of that groundwork.

With continuing advances in performance and power efficiency, the business will strive to expand its industry-leading mobile DRAM range, while also cementing its leading position with increased production flexibility.

Apple’s Newest Display Repair Device Has the Ability to Change the Repair Industry.

By pratik patil November 7, 2021

Apple has already been usually looking at iPhone repair work that isn’t under their control. Apple may be seeking to utterly defund the market with fresh upgrades to the iPhone 13.

AVvXsEhy8fiJ4VOXIq0ZngFdHPYN8Y2Zi2YLbdxJljk3LeaWsTCH lmXqZxS3SlfopxXGTTfxlwNaPQnimCfADh6VKW5iDxu0Z6CkILQmZufACMbPhefM7XthhB HPbpiKamrXarS37VW7wRKHWiLCPCSmrAvqn0jKUWcApupYBCWEpWeTghI5Iw 79XBI7ojw=w640 h480 - iOS

On iOS 15.1, after replacing the display on an iPhone 13 Pro Max with another original iPhone 13 Pro Max display, a Face ID problem message appears.

When you replace the screen on the new iPhone 13, its flagship Face ID capability is entirely disabled. We’ve proven this time and time again in our lab, testing a range of phones running iOS 15 and 15.1, and our findings have been corroborated by a number of repair experts.

Fixers, both individual and team, are having a bad day. The most basic phone repairs, which could previously be completed with hand tools, now necessitates the use of a microscope. As a result, you won’t been able to repair your iPhone screen without missing significant performance. Which also has far-reaching effects for the professional repair business, since Apple is the most commonly serviced brand. Smaller companies may be forced to close, with owners forced to choose between spending thousands of dollars on new equipment or losing a key source of revenue.

This little microcontroller is used to connect the iPhone 13 to its screen, a process known as “serialisation” by repair technicians. Apple hasn’t made it easy for store owners or small retailers to connect a new screen. Licensed technicians with knowledge to Apple Services Toolkit 2 can install new screens by reporting the repair to Apple’s cloud servers and matching both phone and screen serial numbers. It allows Apple to accept or reject each individual fix.

A most advanced repair shops have devised a solution, but it isn’t a fast, clever hack—it involves manually shifting a fused chip from the original screen to a replacements. We’ll go through that method in more depth later, and it’s necessary to remember that this is entirely unusual. The replacement of a screen is quite frequent. Thousands of repair companies throughout the world help their communities by changing screens at low costs for clients. But Apple appears to be chopping its industry off at the feet in one swift blow.

Want to get into the technical aspects of things. We put it through its paces on iOS 15.1, the most recent official iPhone software upgrade. When you replace the screen of an iPhone 13 with the same exact screen from a brand new iPhone, you get the following error: “Unable to activate Face ID on this iPhone.”

Samsung Unpacked: High Resolution Renders of the Galaxy S22Ultra.

By pratik patil October 25, 2021

published in recent weeks about the new S-series devices that will be unveiled in early 2022 at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event. LetsGoDigital disclosed the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s camera design a week ago. Based on unique information collected from South Korean former Samsung employee Super Roader, LetsGoDigital commissioned high-quality product renderings. According to this report, Samsung will include a water drop camera technology in the new top model of the Galaxy S series.

AVvXsEgTzAGJ8Sg7jKrbXCmAV5wBUAfvnGKtvnQ8u2OriVT6P2hvIH1SXceeW5ZZI JITASu9NyM uXOBnCiuWCthBxIlEsLraeH OVPHQa22eFAd hXdTWGqdlfnjLtJ8BvOjw4N8duDIoz5cncb0SR4Bn7k42BFw92tqFBh2 YHNVT2UcT77dKc7TGVWslpA=w640 h444 - iOS

Similarly, in-house graphic designer Giuseppe Spinelli, nicknamed Snoreyn, has been hard at work on Technizo Concept’s Galaxy S22 Ultra model, this time setting the smartphone in a photo-realistic environment – like the smartphones were on show at Samsung Unpacked. This is the first moment designers have collaborated to create a more reasonable outcome. As a result, the updated 4K and 8K models provide a more true picture of how this phone model will appear in real life.

Waterdrop camera technology on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Many people now are confused about what to trust. After all, this isn’t the first time the S22 Ultra’s camera system has been displayed. It was previously stated by the French leaker OnLeaks that it will be a P-shaped camera island. Ice Universe expected an 11-shaped camera island on the S22 Ultra, understanding it wouldn’t be a P-shape. As a result, there were a number of various versions floating about.

A waterdrop-style design that LetsGoDigital revealed weeks ago has now been confirmed, thanks to a picture of a rear panel with five-camera holes floating on the Chinese social media site Weibo. According to the leaked image, Samsung plans to keep the camera island as simple as possible this time. The design is identical to the Galaxy A32, which is a budget phone. Samsung has taken this design approach from LG Electronics, which included a water drop camera on the LG Velvet.
