										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are into retro or a smartphone that will get people talking the new Motorola Razr Flip phone is finally on sale and new packages are available via Telstra that are not going to break the bank.</p>
<p>On a 24 month contract the show piece device is only going to cost $112 per month for a $2,600 smartphone.</p>
<p>So why should you consider buying a flip phone.</p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal wrote recently?</p>
<p>In case you hadn’t noticed, our phone screens have gotten unmanageably huge. And smartphone sales have slowed, as we see less incentive in upgrading from one black rectangle to another.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, flexible and foldable screens are rapidly evolving and dropping in price. What better way to get us to buy a new thing than sell us a new thing that actually looks like a new thing?</p>
<p>The new reimagined Motorola Razr can now be seen in-store across ten Telstra retail outlets in Australia.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was all camera at the 2020 launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S20 5G in San Francisco this morning, 8K shot footage, up to 100X zoom and artificial intelligence that sets the new benchmark for a premium smartphone and a massivly improved Google Duo.</p>
<p>Bragging rights just kept coming from 8K footage that in the past need a camera rig worth thousands, new “super zoom resolution” mode that delivers up to 100X capability and easily out performs the Huawei P30 with the biggest advantage that Samsung can guarantee that they have not worked with the Chinese Liberation Army to compromise security.</p>
<p>This has all been achieved with the introduction of an exceptionally high-resolution sensor coupled with a cutting edge processor made by Samsung.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-147405" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sAMSUNG-lAUNCH-7-scaled.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sAMSUNG-lAUNCH-7-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sAMSUNG-lAUNCH-7-768x406.jpg 768w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sAMSUNG-lAUNCH-7-1536x812.jpg 1536w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sAMSUNG-lAUNCH-7-2048x1083.jpg 2048w" alt="" width="2560" height="1354" /><br />
Design wise the new S205G Ultra makes the old Note 10 Plus feel chunky, and Apples latest offering seriously old technology.</p>
<p>The 6.9-inch screen with its 120Hz refresh rate makes shot images look beautiful colourful and bright.</p>
<p>The 4x telephoto lens located behind the hole in the back of the S20G combines with a built in 48-megapixel sensor delivering “lossless hybrid optic” zoom. Lossless means that you won’t lose quality as you zoom similar to what was happening with the Huawei P30.</p>
<p>The 100x zoom feature which is exclusive to the S20 Ultra allows users to easily flick to a zoom setting as was demonstrated by Samsung when standing on a cliff two kilometres away from the famous Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, one button push and the cameraman could easily zoom into the location.<iframe id="widget2" class="youtube_embed_iframe" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/https://youtu.be/x0Kv_QRWR-I?autoplay=0&amp;theme=dark&amp;loop=0&amp;fs=1&amp;showinfo=1&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;color=red&amp;autohide=1&amp;disablekb=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;version=3" width="300" height="150" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p>
<p>What Samsung has done that’s unique is dramatically improve the resolution and quality of an image</p>
<p>The S20 Ultra’s periscope appears to make a massive difference when it comes to shooting, I want to test it against a top end Canon camera and one of their zoom lenses. The Canon rig alone will cost you over $5K making the new Samsung offering a cheap pro camera rig.<img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-147400" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Screen-Shot-2020-02-12-at-6.53.44-am.png" sizes="(max-width: 2302px) 100vw, 2302px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Screen-Shot-2020-02-12-at-6.53.44-am.png 2302w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Screen-Shot-2020-02-12-at-6.53.44-am-768x403.png 768w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Screen-Shot-2020-02-12-at-6.53.44-am-1536x806.png 1536w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Screen-Shot-2020-02-12-at-6.53.44-am-2048x1075.png 2048w" alt="" width="2302" height="1208" /></p>
<p>The zoom capability also works at night, so a pool party suddenly becomes a lot more focused.</p>
<p>In the past problems have occurred when shooting in low-light, Samsung claims to have found a solution to these problems using the power of their new processor combined with the AI speed of the sensor.</p>
<p>Another massive improvement is that you can access Google Duo on the Galaxy S20 directly from the dialler. I love Google Duo for my personal calls, while I use Zoom for business calls, I ditched Skype for Duo. Only recently when in a boardroom meeting my phone rang, it was my 4-year-old granddaughter, she had her mother phone and decided to call me a real ‘Hello Grandpa moment”</p>
<p>Now with a simple press of a button you can trigger a video call in full HD quality with up to eight people due to the new wide-angle camera. I really want to test this.</p>
<p><strong>Quick Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>With this device it appears you are going to get the best of everything and as Samsung said at the start of their event ‘It’s all about “premium” and that is what they have delivered with the S20Ultra.</p>
<p>Apart from 5G which is basic, there is an incredible camera, 16GB of Samsung manufactured RAM and a massive display screen. This device is not cheap at $2,249 but is a pro camera, PC, smartphone and you can do Google Duo calls while also getting the best Netflix can offer.</p>
<p>It also has an astonishing 16GB of RAM, which considering the amout of use you will get with this device is worth the money.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics has moved to cement their position as the dominant player in the 5G market, with the roll out of an all new 5G flagship range of S20 smartphones that come with a 108-megapixel camera 8K shooting camera and 120MHz display.</p>
<p>Simply the new Samsung S20 models are all about top end 5G performance and never before seen, camera technology in a smartphone, they start in price at $1,349 for the 8GB + 128GB expandable model with single SIM &amp; eSIM to $2,249 for the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G model with 16GB + 512GB of storage capability.</p>
<p>This model also has a single SIM and eSIM capability.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-147351" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Ultra_design_01-1.gif" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Ultra_design_01-1.gif 1920w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Ultra_design_01-1-768x432.gif 768w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Ultra_design_01-1-1536x864.gif 1536w" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /></p>
<p>Launched at a gala event in San Francisco overnight Samsung has set a new benchmark for both performance and camera architecture using new software AI technology and a new capture sensor that allows users to shoot their own 8K movies.</p>
<p>Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics told the audience, “As all three Galaxy S20 variants come with 5G connectivity and Samsung is now providing a next-generation device with an AI powered camera”.</p>
<p>On top of that Samsung has gone all 5G for their premium model range with new mid-range models set to be launched later this year tipped to be 4G and affordable.</p>
<p>Currently 9 out of ten 5G smartphones sold in Australia are made by Samsung.</p>
<p>Samsung Australia has confirmed that the Galaxy S20 range of smartphones will be available to purchase from March 6, 2020.</p>
<p>Customers who pre-order the Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20+ 5G and Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G from participating retailers are eligible to redeem a complimentary pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds+ valued at $299 (RRP)1. The pre-order period commences at 09.00 AEDT February 12 and concludes at 11.59 AEDT March 5, 2020.</p>
<p>The dramatically increased performance and shooting capability of their new 108MP camera which can now shoot 8K on the fly, has been achieved with the introduction of a new camera sensor made by Samsung.</p>
<p>The Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra are the first devices able to power new mobile experiences that take advantage of both sub-6 and mmWave technology.</p>
<p>The Galaxy S20 supports sub-6 and three devices can deliver non-standalone and standalone 5G capabilities.</p>
<p>CAMERA</p>
<p>The new camera delivers crystal clear clarity due to the larger image sensor and significantly improved resolution over the current Galaxy range.</p>
<p>The sensor has been designed to take in more light, so you get better low light shooting.</p>
<p>The S20 Ultra allows users to shift dynamically between a high resolution 108MP mode and a 12MP mode, due to new to nona-binning technology which combines nine pixels into one at the sensor level.</p>
<p>Also built in is new Space Zoom technology that uses a combination of Hybrid Optic Zoom and Super Resolution Zoom, which includes AI-powered digital zoom, even when you are far away you can zoom in close.</p>
<p>In the past brands such as Huawei with their P30 smartphone have had 50X zoom which we found impossible to shoot without a tripod.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-147348" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Plus_design_01_image.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Plus_design_01_image.jpg 1920w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Plus_design_01_image-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Galaxy_S20_Plus_design_01_image-1536x864.jpg 1536w" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /></p>
<p>With the new Samsung range users can shoot up to 30X zoom on the Galaxy S20 and S20+, or step-up to the revolutionary folded lenses on the S20 Ultra, which uses AI powered, multi-image processing to reduce quality loss at high zoom levels so that users can experience Super Resolution Zoom up to 100X with a clearer view ever than before claims Samsung.</p>
<p>Other features include:</p>
<p>Single Take, Multiple Possibilities: Single Take lets you stay in the moment, while you capture the moment. Thanks to its AI camera technologies, the Galaxy S20 can capture several photos and videos, such as Live focus, cropped, Ultra-Wide and more that captures your moment the best.</p>
<p>Pro-Grade Filming Capability: The Galaxy S20 offers stunning 8K video shooting, so users can capture their world in true-to-life colour and quality. When you are done shooting, stream your video to a Samsung QLED 8K TV and enjoy its best-in-class viewing experience or grab a still from an 8K video and turn it into a high-res photo. And, even the bumpiest videos look like they were shot using an action cam, thanks to Super Steady and its anti-rolling stabilization and AI motion analysis.</p>
<p>Samsung who acquired Harman, one of the world’s leading sound Companies who own brands such as JBL, Harman Kardon and AKG has also incorporated new audio output capabilities wrapped around AKG tuning technology.</p>
<p>New capabilities include integration between Spotify and Bixby Routines.</p>
<p>Music Share extend a paired Bluetooth connection to a car stereo or speaker via your device, so you and your friend can take turns DJ-ing during a road trip.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Australian chairman of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei has hit back at claims by a Labor MP that his company is effectively controlled by Beijing and poses a national security risk.</p>
<p>The strong defence by chairman Jon Lord followed an attack on the company by Labor&#8217;s Michael Danby in Federal Parliament. It comes as Parliament considers whether Huawei should be permitted to participate in the construction of Australia&#8217;s 5G mobile network, due next year.</p>
<p>In Danby&#8217;s attack, he said: &#8220;Huawei and ZTE must report to a Communist Party cell at the top of their organisations&#8221; and added: &#8220;Let me issue a clarion call to this Parliament: Australians 5G network must not be sold to these telcos.&#8221;</p>
<p>Huawei&#8217;s John Lord said Danby was wrong and his company would do all it could to assure authorities it was not a risk. He said Huawei was owned by its employees – the Chinese government did not own any shares.</p>
<p>Lord added that Huawei would be willing to give Australian intelligence agencies oversight of its operations, as it has done in the UK.</p>
<p>Other commentators have noted that Danby appeared confused about the nature of the planned 5G network, which is not being &#8220;sold&#8221; to Huawei or any other operator. The work in question will presumably be contested by telcos and operators like Huawei, Sweden&#8217;s Ericsson and Australia&#8217;s Telstra and Optus.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SYDNEY – Australians&#8217; increasing desire to be constantly connected and continuously consuming is leading to data-plan blowouts, hidden costs and more people switching operators, according to a new Deloitte report.</p>
<p>Deloitte&#8217;s Mobile Consumer Survey 2017 has calculated that Australians look at their mobile phone screens no less than 560 million times a day, equating to more than 35 glances a day by each Aussie old enough to have a mobile.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bigger data plans and increasingly available free Wi-Fi hotspots are facilitating our connected way of life, although not sufficiently according to our research,&#8221; according to Deloitte executive Jeremy Drumm.</p>
<p>&#8220;The number of people streaming content and watching live TV on phones has tripled since 2016, with 25pc of 18-34 year olds watching live TV on their smartphones weekly.&#8221;</p>
<p>But he said this trend does have a knock-on effect, with 43pc of Australians &#8220;fairly often&#8221; or &#8220;very often exceeding monthly data limits. The survey highlighted that those on 3-5GB plans are twice as likely to exceed their limits as those with 500MB or less of data.</p>
<p>The survey also found that smartphones are becoming an invaluable workplace tool, with 67pc of respondents consistently using their phone for work. And no fewer than 26pc often use their phone for business purposes outside normal work hours.</p>
<p>To the surprise of some, Drumm sees this not as an undesirable situation but &#8220;a huge opportunity to optimise mobile for basic work tasks that can be undertaken on the move and transform the way we work.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ahem. That&#8217;s a transformation that at least some of use can do without. – DF</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Serious questions have been raised about the source of products being offered on a brand new amaysim telco site that is being pitched as “discount heaven” for people looking for cheap smartphones.</p>
<p>An investigation by ChannelNews reveals that the bulk of the branded smartphone devices set to be offered by amaysim on their shop.amaysim.com.au website is being grey imported from questionable suppliers in Asia.</p>
<p>Executives at several leading phone brands have said that consumers are taking a “massive risk” buying products that have not been certified for use in Australia by both carriers and the Australian Mobile Telecommunication Association.</p>
<p>We have also discovered that amaysim are also the owners of the BuyMobile.com.au a web site which according to several leading phone brands are selling grey imported smartphones which could also be a risk to consumers.<a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/maxresdefault-1-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-79545" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/maxresdefault-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /></a></p>
<p>One of the brands being listed on the new amaysim and the Buy Mobile web site is Motorola.</p>
<p>Also being sold are Apple, Samsung, Alcatel, HTC, Huawei and LG smartphones.</p>
<p>According to Danny Adamopoulos the General Manager of Sales for Motorola in both Australia and Asia said that his Company “had not” supplied the devices to amaysim.</p>
<p>“They do not have an account with us nor have we supplied devise to these Companies, these are not Australian certified Motorola devices”.</p>
<p>“If these products have come from Hong Kong they are going to be wrong for the Australian consumer, they could even be Chinese models. We need to investigate this further”.</p>
<p>Sam Skontos the Managing Director of Alcatel in Australia said that his Company had not supplied amaysim with their Blackberry range of smartphones which are also ranged on amaysim web sites.</p>
<p>He said “We recently purchased one of our Blackberry products listed on the Buy Mobile website which when you inspect the small print is owned by Amaysim. We discovered that this device came from Hong Kong and was not made for the Australian market”.</p>
<p>He added “Consumers are taking a major risk buying products that are not certified. A smartphone bought through proper channels or a device that has been supplied by an Australian distributor or vendor has to undergo rigorous certification processes”.</p>
<p>“In Australia people have died buying telecommunication products that have not been certified” said Skontas.<a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61946" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv.jpg" alt="" width="2400" height="1600" srcset="https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv.jpg 2400w, https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv-300x200.jpg 300w, https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv-768x512.jpg 768w, https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BlackBerry-Priv-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px" /></a></p>
<p>Back in July 2016, the NSW Commissioner for Fair Trading pursued legal action against Huadi Bi &#8211; the director of Hau Yang Australia International Trading and Investment Pty Ltd &#8211; for selling a faulty $4.95 USB charger, resulting in the death of Sheryl Anne Aldegeur.</p>
<p>Bi&#8217;s company is facing penalties up to $605,000, following the prosecution of first offences under Section 15 of the Electricity Consumer Safety Act.</p>
<p>Ms Aldegeur, aged 28 years old, obtained the faulty item from Bi&#8217;s Campsie-based store. In April 2014, Aldegeur was found dead wearing headphones in her East Gosford home &#8211; presumably electrocuted, as the faulty charger sent a high current through her body.</p>
<p>The AMTA (Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association) has affirmed that &#8216;grey import&#8217; smartphones pose potential risks for Australian consumers and network carriers.</p>
<p>Compliant mobile phones receive certification from Australia&#8217;s regulating body, the ACMA (Australian Communications &amp; Media Authority).</p>
<p>This certification confirms that devices meet the safety standards for national network integration, and also include the functionality to make &#8216;triple zero emergency phone calls&#8217; without requiring a SIM card.</p>
<p>AMTA Chief Financial Officer, Glenn Brown, describes the two major risks posed by &#8216;rogue phones&#8217;:</p>
<p>&#8220;In terms of compliance, one of the issues that we see, is being able to meet the requirement of Australia&#8217;s triple zero service. In Australia, a compliant phone has to have the ability to make a triple zero emergency call with, or without a sim card&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If the phones are not compliant, does the consumer have confidence that the feature set of the phone will allow the same functionality, that Australian consumers take for granted, with compliant handsets?&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Brown states whilst some grey import phones are not compliant in Australia, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean devices won&#8217;t feature triple zero functionality, however, &#8220;there&#8217;s no way to know before [consumers] purchase, so that&#8217;s a concern&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Brown also states that non-compliant phones haven&#8217;t been tested, to ensure they meet the safety standards for Australian network integration:</p>
<p>&#8220;The other concern, is of course, from a carrier’s point of view &#8211; some non-compliant phones could well cause disruption to networks, and certainly not work in conjunction with how the networks have been set up. These &#8216;rogue phones&#8217;, therefore, could cause signal cancelling and other interference to the normal user&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Non-compliant phones haven&#8217;t been tested to ensure they meet the safety standards for network integration&#8221;.</p>
<p>According to sources amaysim is also looking at selling other consumer electronic goods online in the future and is working on becoming an online tech store focusing on connected devices at highly competitive prices.</p>
<p>The only problem is the Company is not saying what percentage of the products are sourced from overseas and have not been certified for the Australian market.</p>
<p>Julian Rosenberg a spokesperson for amaysim admitted that goods being sold on their new site and their Buy Mobile site were sourced from overseas.</p>
<p>He claimed that the Company “unpacked the overseas goods and checked them before they were sold onto consumers.</p>
<p>He was not able to elaborate what cost this added to the cost of the goods being sold via the Companies web sites, or whether the Company tested for compliance with Australian networks or power supply.</p>
<p>The Company is claiming that consumers can save as much as $200 on devices they are also offering a two-year warranty on devices.</p>
<p>They are also planning to offer financing that will not be linked to customers’ phone plans which the Company claims will remain free to change providers at any time without being forced to pay-out the leftover balance all in one go.</p>
<p>There is no mention on the shop.amaysim.com.au site or the Buy.Mobile site that the overseas sourced smartphones are not compliant for Australia.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Huawei has moved to take on both Samsung and Apple in the premium smartphone market, with the launch a new $899 Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, that will sell for $1,100.</p>
<p>The unlock key is a new Chinese developed engine that the Company claims is superior to their competitors and delivers &#8220;superior image capture&#8221;.</p>
<p>One of the biggest claims is that Huawei’s AI processing will be able to significantly reduce the phone’s performance degradation over time, which the company has identified as a major problem with Android devices in general.</p>
<p>During an exclusive briefing with both ChannelNews and SmartHouse we were able to get a hands-on look at the two new devices last week, we also saw the devices at IFA in Belin last month.</p>
<p>The new object-recognition capabilities built into the Mate 10 Pro help them take better photos than the competition claim Huawei. Many smartphone cameras make automatic tweaks to the images they take, but Huawei suggests its technology takes this to the next level.</p>
<p>In a direct shootout with the Samsung Note 8 the Huawei Mate 10 Pro which comes with a 6in (15cm) OLED screen, there is also a slightly smaller 5.9in LED version, was not able to deliver a superior picture.</p>
<p>At first the images we shot appeared to have a yellow tint.</p>
<p>When we turned off the HDR setting the image was on par with an image shot indoors with the Samsung Note 8 but not superior.<a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/960x0-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-79007 alignleft" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/960x0-1.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>The main difference between the two new Huawei phones is in screen size and shape. The Mate 10 features a 5.9-inch 2560 x 1440 LCD while the Mate 10 Pro’s display is a 6-inch 2160 x 1080 OLED.</p>
<p>The standard Mate 10’s sharper 16:9 screen looks good and the device feels good in the hand.</p>
<p>That camera setup includes a 20-megapixel colour sensor and a secondary 12-megapixel monochrome sensor designed to gather additional information and detail.</p>
<p>The Pro has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the Porsche Design model comes with 6GB of RAM and ups the storage to 256GB.<br />
The Mate 10 is 8.2mm thick and has a fingerprint sensor below the screen.</p>
<p>They each feature a Kirin 970 CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 4,000mAh battery, 64GB of storage, and dual cameras with f/1.6 lenses.</p>
<p>Huawei says it trained the Mate 10&#8217;s camera-controlling algorithms with more than 100 million pictures to teach them to recognise different scenarios and items.</p>
<p>To ensure the decisions are taken quickly enough, has developed its own processor &#8211; the Kirin 970 &#8211; which has a neural processing unit (NPU) in addition to the standard central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) used to power most computers</p>
<p>Huawei claims that the engine can distinguish between cats and dogs in a split-second, allowing it to automatically tweak how their fur and eyes appear in an image, we had neither a dog or cat to test their theory.</p>
<p>Their engineers claim that because cats&#8217; eyes are more reflective than dogs&#8217;, in bright interior light and sunlight the camera adjusts down the ISO level when a close-up of the animal is being taken.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/98336854_cat1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-79006" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/98336854_cat1.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="405" /></a> <a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/98336847_7ac10db3-5498-4c16-bebb-84e2f432dac2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-79005" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/98336847_7ac10db3-5498-4c16-bebb-84e2f432dac2.jpg" alt="" width="624" height="447" /></a></p>
<p>To take account of differences in the type of hair or fur the pets have, the software alters the image sharpness via the amount of noise reduction it applies since the camera has been trained to expect cats to be smaller than dogs, it also makes an adjustment to the depth of field.</p>
<p>The architecture of the NPU is a specialised part of the chip designed to handle matrix multiplications at speed &#8211; a type of calculation used by artificial intelligence neural networks, which attempt to mimic the way the brain works.</p>
<p>The only problem is that Huawei is now pushing artificial intelligence in their new phones despite most consumers not understanding why they need artificial intelligence.</p>
<p>&#8220;Without doing lots of tests, it&#8217;s difficult to tell how much value this really adds to the camera capabilities,&#8221; said Ben Wood, from the technology consultancy CCS Insight.<a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/kv-img_pad.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-79001" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/kv-img_pad.jpg" alt="" width="1275" height="838" /></a></p>
<p>Huawei says the inclusion of an NPU in its chip allows it to recognise about 2,000 images per minute.<br />
That is about double the rate that the new A11 processor in the iPhone 8 would be able to handle, Huawei says.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t believe most consumers understand what AI is,&#8221; said Mr Wood. “So, if Huawei intends to market the new phones around the technology, it will have to clearly articulate what the benefits are beyond it just being the buzzword of the moment.&#8221;</p>
<p>Huawei who is currently trailing several brands in Australia is struggling to gain market share as new competitors like Nokia enter the market and HTC get a new lease of life as they cuddle up to Google.</p>
<p>In Australia, the Huawei Mate 10 will be available through Vodafone and the open channel in black from November 15th. It will be priced at an SPR of $899.</p>
<p>The Huawei Mate 10 Pro will be an Opus-exclusive, available only in blue.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple shares tumbled by US$50 billion on Friday, a sum bigger than the entire value of companies such as eBay or Ford.</p>
<p>The company released its latest line-up of products on September 12, including the iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, Apple TV 4K, and Apple Watch Series 3.</p>
<p>The day before the launch, Apple had a market worth of US$834.9 billion but by the closing bell on Friday, its market value had fallen to about $782.5 billion. However the value of Apple is still about $100 billion bigger than Google-parent Alphabet.</p>
<p>Part of the reason for the share plunge appears to be problems with the latest Apple Watch whose new mobile phone technology simply does not work, according to journalists who have been testing the new devices.</p>
<p>Apple may also have been hit by fewer orders than expected for the forthcoming iPhoneX, which carries a record high price – as much as $1829 in Australia.</p>
<p>Gene Munster, an investor at Loup Ventures and a former top Apple analyst, had predicted a fall of up to 10 percent in Apple shares. He noted the stock had risen 50 percent in the past year, and said, &#8220;Naturally there&#8217;s going to be some people taking some profits.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Serious questions are being raised about the new Apple iPhone 8 offering with some saying it’s more an upgrade than a brand-new phone oozing new technology.</p>
<p>Tim Cook Apple CEO Said “It’s truly amazing how much iPhone impacts the world each and every day. Our intention with iPhone has always been to create something so powerful, so immersive and so magical, that the hardware virtually disappears.”</p>
<p>So far, the changes to iPhone 8 are what you’d expect from an annual smartphone upgrade. Stronger glass. Improved speakers. An A11 “bionic” chip.</p>
<p>Glass on the front and back. Silver, space grey, and gold. “The design is all new” claims Cook, some said “Oh really”.</p>

<p>“The first iPhone forever changed how we interact with technology by introducing multitouch.” said Cook.</p>
<p>The show was then handed over to Tim Schiller.</p>
<p>He said that the new device will have custom aluminium alloy, glass and a seven-layer colour process, internal steel and copper structure.</p>
<p>“The glass is the most durable ever in a smartphone” The same was said at the HTC 11 launch and the Samsung Note launch.</p>
<p>You get “New displays, with True Tone that adapts colour and temperature to ambient light”.</p>
<p>There are “new stereo speakers that are 25 percent louder than iPhone 7. “Deeper bass” claims Shiller.</p>
<p>We have still not seen any apple breakthrough with their iPhone 8.</p>
<p>Tim pulls the “one more thing” card. This isn’t as much of a surprise as the iPod was, but it’s going to be quite big.</p>
<p>Cook says it’ll “set the path of technology for the next decade”. We’ll see. It’s called the iPhone X. And it’s pronounced iPhone Ten.</p>
<p>Schiller’s not done yet, and he returns to announce the biggest change coming to the iPhone 8: wireless charging something that both LG and Samsung have had for more than two years, the big winner out of this deal appears to be Belkin.</p>
<p>The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus will now support the Qi wireless charging standard – that’s the one which is built into a lot of IKEA furniture. You’ll soon be able to charge your phone by just leaving it on your bedside table.</p>
<p>the iPhone 8 looks a lot like the iPhone 7, but it’s now all-glass, and it comes in three colours (silver, grey and rose gold).</p>
<p>There are some new features in this phone, including the True Tone tech carried over from the iPad.</p>
<p>The camera itself gets a new sensor and new colour filter on the normal 8, while the 8 Plus gets two new sensors for its two new cameras, and the telephoto lens gets better in low light.</p>
<p>the 8 Plus can now use the two cameras to build a depth map of a portrait photo, and artificially alter the lighting of the images.</p>
<p>Schiller also calls the iPhone the first phone “designed for Augmented Reality” I think someone needs to remind him about Google’s Project Tango.</p>
<p>Games developer Alti Mar, from Directive Games, arrives to show a multiplayer AR tower defence game. I’m bored already.</p>
<p>The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are upgrades to Apple’s current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus range, updating some of the main features found on Apple’s current products.</p>
<p>Initially, most pundits thought the iPhone 8 would be Apple’s main new phone – however it instead released three smartphones as part of the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone.</p>
<p>The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are similar in appearance to the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.</p>
<p>The smaller version has a 4.7-inch screen, while the larger phone has a 5.5-inch screen and a dual camera lens on the back.</p>
<p>The processor is the A11 Bionic, “the most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone,” Apple says.</p>
<p>“The new iPhone will have the most durable glass ever in a smartphone,” says Schiller.</p>
<p>Both models will have a HD retina display and feature a 12MP camera.</p>
<p>The iPhone 8 will be available in silver, space grey and a new blush gold colour.</p>
<p>Wireless charging, a big win for Belkin</p>
<p>Like the iPhone X, the two-new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus phones will come with wireless charging capabilities.</p>
<p>This means the phone can be charged by simply placing it on a power pad. It is the first time the technology has come to the iPhone range.</p>
<p>“This is a simple thing. We do it every day. We use them every day and charge every night,” said Schiller.</p>
<p>“Words can’t describe how much nicer it is to never plug in a cable again.”</p>
<p>iOS 11</p>
<p>The new iPhones will come with Apple’s new operating system iOS 11. iOS 11 includes hundreds of new features like a redesigned control centre, better multitasking, improvements to the camera, peer-to-peer Apple Pay and new safety features.</p>
<p>Dual camera</p>
<p>The iPhone 8 Plus will have a 12MP dual-lens camera, like the one featured on the iPhone 7 Plus released last year.</p>
<p>It features a larger and faster sensor, a new colour filter and deeper pixels.</p>
<p>Video</p>
<p>Apple claims the new camera delivers “the highest quality video capture ever in a smartphone” with better video stabilisation and 4K video up to 60fps.</p>
<p>While the demise of the home button and Touch ID on the iPhone X has been in the news, the iPhone 8 will maintain the button and Touch ID. It won’t, however, have facial recognition.</p>
<p>iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is cheaper than the new iPhone X 10 and on sale sooner, and will be available in space grey, silver and gold. Again, there will be both 64GB and 256GB models. The 64GB models start at $1079 for iPhone 8 and $1229 for iPhone 8 Plus. Preorder begin this Friday, September 15, with the phone going on sale the following Friday, September 22.</p>
