How Fast Can You Type On The Galaxy Tab S7 Keyboard?

Leave a reply

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ come with a Book Cover with an integrated kickstand, S Pen compartment and keyboard.

While most tablets offer keyboard options, you will be surprised at just how fast you can actually type on the Galaxy Tab S7 keyboard! Take a look…

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Keyboard : What Is It?

The Samsung Book Cover Keyboard is an accessory for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ tablets.

It protects the tablet from damage, and comes with an integrated kickstand, S Pen compartment and keyboard.

Its two-piece design transforms your Galaxy Tab S7 or Tab S7+ tablet into a laptop, that quickly turns into a tablet whenever you want.

It is available for both Galaxy Tab S7 models. They only differ in their sizes (prices as of 14 December 2020):

Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for Galaxy Tab S7+

Malaysia : RM799
Singapore : S$244 | S$258
United States : $229.95
United Kingdom : £154.09
Australia : A$285.69

Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for Galaxy Tab S7

Malaysia : RM499
Singapore : S$218 | S$224
United States : $145.94
United Kingdom : £154.09
Australia : A$264

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Keyboard : How Fast Can You Type On It?

To showcase how fast you can type on the Book Cover Keyboard, Samsung brought in expert stenographer Jongheon Im.

Stenographers are trained to type as fast as a person speaks, so they need to be very fast!

In this video, Im is asked to transcribe a minute of speech on two regular keyboards, and then on the Galaxy Tab S7+ with the Book Cover Keyboard.

While Im is most comfortable with the special stenography keyboard, she felt that it was more comfortable to type on the Book Cover Keyboard, than an actual laptop keyboard.

In the end, she managed to type at around 700 strokes per minute on the Book Cover Keyboard, compared to 670 strokes on a laptop keyboard.

Frankly, most of us would expect to type faster on a laptop keyboard than a tablet keyboard… but as our review pointed out – the Book Cover Keyboard is really nice to type on, especially with its 26% larger keycaps and 18.3 mm key pitch.

We highly recommend it for anyone who purchases the Galaxy Tab S7 or Galaxy Tab S7+ tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 : How Good Is Its Main Camera?

Leave a reply

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 only comes with a 12 MP main camera, but you will be really surprised at how good its camera really is!

Learn more about its 12 MP Sony IMX555 main camera, and take a look at the photo samples we took!

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 : Sony IMX555 Main Camera

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 comes with the same 12 MP main camera as the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 FE.

Built around the Sony IMX555 sensor, it has a wide f/1.8 aperture. Let’s take a look at how good this camera really is.

The Sony IMX555 is a 12.2 MP CMOS sensor, with a square pixel array of 4032 x 3024 pixels.

This is a Dual Pixel sensor, which means it uses dual photodiodes in every pixel for faster and more accurate phase-detection autofocus.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 supports the new HEIC file format, so each 12 MP picture is only about 2-3 MB in size – about half of the usual JPEG file format.

That basically means you can store twice as many photos as you would with an older smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 : How Good Is Its Camera?

Even though we are under a CMCO lockdown, we had the opportunity to test the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2’s main camera out.

Here are eight high-resolution Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 photo samples for you to check out.

For faster loading, we reduced the resolution, but they are otherwise unedited.

We are glad that Samsung did not skimp on the main camera, using the same Sony IMX555 sensor and wide f/1.8 aperture as the Galaxy S20.

The detail and colour rendition of this camera is really good, with fast autofocus, courtesy of its Dual Pixel capability.

The wide f/1.8 aperture is great for bokeh and low-light photography, but it introduces a very narrow depth of field.

So be very careful when you take close-up shots, as you can end up with the shot focused on the wrong subject.

To be sure, tap on the subject you want, so the Galaxy Z Fold 2 “knows” what you want to focus on.

If you can keep that in mind, you will end up with very nice shots from the Galaxy Z Fold 2!

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 : Price + Availability

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is offered in two colour options – Mystic Brown and Mystic Black.

It is available globally from September 2020 onwards, at these recommended retail prices :

Malaysia : RM 7,999 (25 September 2020)
Singapore : S$2,888 (18 September 2020)
United States : US$1,999 (18 September 2020)
United Kingdom : £1,799
Australia : A$2,999 (25 September 2020)

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Night Mode Guide

Leave a reply

Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G smartphones have a Night mode, which promises to deliver superior picture quality in very low light conditions!

Find out how to use Night Mode in the Samsung Galaxy Note20 family of smartphones!

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Night Mode : What Is It?

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G smartphones have a Night Mode that delivers unprecedented picture quality in low or dim lighting conditions.

When you take a photo using the Night Mode, it takes up to 30 photos in rapid succession, and intelligently combines them using multi-frame processing to produce one bright and clear photo.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Night Mode : How To Use It?

Here is a quick guide on how to use the Night Mode on your Galaxy Note20 or Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G smartphone :

Open the Camera app in your Galaxy Note20 / Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G smartphone
Swipe to the left, and tap More.
Tap NIGHT, to enable the Night Mode.
Tap the Zoom icons if you want to get a closer shot.
Tap the Capture button when you are ready to take a photo!

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Night Mode : How Effective Is It?

Here is a shot taken by the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G smartphone, with and without Night Mode.

We set up this scene, placing a dim and indirect light source at a distance on the right side. Perceptually, the picture on the left is close to what we see with our naked eye.

Without Night Mode, the scene is much darker.

Ice Bear appears a little blur and you can barely make out Grizzly’s right hand. The Minion’s hand being bitten by the crab is hardly visible too.

Darth Minion is the worst case scenario – you can’t even make out his shape, just white eyes and belt buckle.

But once you turn on Night Mode, look at how much brighter it looks!

Not only can you see Darth Minion clearly, you can even see the texture of the surface they are standing on clearly.

Ice Bear is sharper, and Grizzly’s right hand is now clearly seen. Even the Minion’s hand being bitten by the red crab is clearly visible.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Night Mode : Gua Tempurung

Take a look at some sample pictures we took inside Gua Tempurung, a massive cave system south of Ipoh.

Those who have been in there will know just how dark it really is, even with lamp posts placed along the way.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Series Camera Technologies : What’s New?

Leave a reply

The new Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G smartphones come with a brand new camera system, with larger high-resolution sensors, and improved Space Zoom technology!

Let’s take a look at the new camera technologies in the Samsung Galaxy Note20 family of smartphones!

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Series Camera : Ultra-High Resolution

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 series smartphones come with new ultra-high resolution cameras :

the Galaxy Note20 has a 64MP telephoto camera, while
the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G has a 108MP main camera!

The ultra-high resolution photos they take allow you to zoom in, and crop a section you want, without losing any detail in that picture!

Samsung did not just increase the number of pixels on their sensors, they also greatly increased the sensor size. This increases the amount of light each pixel receives, so that they will deliver better image quality, even in low-light conditions.

Camera	Galaxy Note10+	Galaxy Note20	Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G
Main (Wide Angle)	12 MP resolution 1/2.55-inch sensor	12 MP resolution 1/1.76-inch sensor	108 MP resolution 1/1.33-inch sensor
Ultra-Wide	16 MP resolution 1/3.1-inch sensor	12 MP resolution 1/2.55-inch sensor	12 MP resolution 1/2.55-inch sensor
Telephoto	12 MP resolution 1/3.6-inch sensor	64 MP resolution 1/1.72-inch sensor	12 MP resolution 1/3.6-inch sensor

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G Camera : Nonacell Technology

The 108MP Samsung HM1 image sensor in the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G comes with Nonacell technology, which combines groups of nine pixels into much larger 2.4μm pixels.

This gives you a 12 MP picture instead of an 108 MP picture, but each pixel will receive 9X more light for much better clarity in low-light conditions!

In addition, Nonacell uses the Samsung ISOCELL Plus technology to dramatically reduce crosstalk, optical loss and light reflection that happens when pixels are combined.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Series Camera : Space Zoom Technology

The Samsung Space Zoom Technology combines their improved Hybrid Optic Zoom (Note20) or Optical Zoom (Note20 Ultra 5G), with AI multi-frame processing enhancements to give you incredible zoom ranges.

The Galaxy Note20 offers 3X Hybrid Optic Zoom, with 30X Space Zoom.
The Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G, on the other hand, offers 5X Optical Zoom, with 50X Space Zoom!

In addition to their incredible zoom ranges, the improved Samsung Space Zoom features smooth transitions between presets, and a manual zoom mode.

They both allow for more professional videos, with greater creative options.

Galaxy Note20 vs Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G : What’s The Difference?

Leave a reply

The new Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G smartphones have now been officially launched!

And here is a quick comparison of their key features and specifications!

Galaxy Note20 vs Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G : What’s The Difference?

The new Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G look very similar, but they are really quite different devices.

Here is a quick comparison of the key differences between the Galaxy Note20 and the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G.

Different Displays

The two models come with different displays with different resolutions :

Display Features	Galaxy Note20	Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G
Display Type	Super AMOLED+	Dynamic AMOLED 2X
Display Size	6.7-inch	6.9-inch
Resolution	1080 x 2400 pixels	1440 x 3088 pixels
Refresh Rate	60 Hz	Up to 120 Hz
Peak Brightness	1050 nits	1500 nits
HDR Support	HDR10+
Display Protection	Gorilla Glass 5	Gorilla Glass Victus

Performance

They are both powered by the Samsung Exynos 990 globally, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ in the United States, South Korea and China.

To ensure optimal performance in any condition, they are both kept cool by the world’s slimmest vapour chamber.

The Galaxy Note20 comes with 8 GB of memory, while the Note20 Ultra 5G comes with 12 GB of memory.

They both come with 256 GB of internal storage, but the Note20 Ultra 5G supports the addition of a microSD card for up to 1 TB of additional storage.

More importantly, this is the latest LPDDR5 memory, which is not only 1.5 times faster but also uses 20% less power, compared to LPDDR4X.

Different Cameras

They both come with a new triple camera system in the rear, but with different cameras.

The Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G not only comes with a 108 MP main camera, it has a 5X optical zoom camera.

The Galaxy Note20, on the other hand, has a higher resolution 64 MP telephoto camera, with 3X Hybrid Optic Zoom.

Cameras	Galaxy Note20	Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G
Main Camera	12 MP camera (f/1.8)	108 MP camera (f/1.8)
Ultra Wide Camera	12 MP camera (f/2.2)	12 MP camera (f/2.2)
Telephoto Camera	64 MP camera (f/2.0) 3X hybrid zoom	12 MP camera (f/3.0) 5X optical zoom
Laser AF System	NA	Laser Autofocus

Super Resolution Zoom

Both devices feature zoom cameras, but here is how they differ :

Galaxy Note20 offers 3X Hybrid Optic Zoom, with up to 30X Super Resolution Zoom.
Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G gives you 5X Optical Zoom, with up to 50X Super Resolution Zoom.

Their advanced zoom capabilities also extend to video recording, albeit up to 20X zoom for the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G, and 12X zoom for the Galaxy Note20.

The New S Pen

Both devices come with the new S Pen, which supports Air Actions and comes with a new lithium titanate battery that gives it 24 hours of standby time.

There is a difference that many people may not realise. The Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G’s S Pen has an ultra-low latency of just 9 ms, while the S Pen for the Galaxy Note20 has a 26 ms latency.

The almost-instantaneous response time will give you the feel of working with an actual pen or pencil – an experience that artists will greatly appreciate.

Battery Capacities

The Galaxy Note20 has a 4,300 mAh battery, while the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G comes with a slightly larger 4,500 mAh battery.

They both support 25 watt fast charging, and come with a 25 watt fast charger in the box.

Colour Options

Samsung is offering both devices in the signature Mystic Bronze colour, as well as two different colour options :

Galaxy Note20 : Mystic Gray, Mystic Bronze

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 : Hands-On In Both Colour Options!

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 has the same design language as the Galaxy Note 20 smartphones, with two colour options.

The signature Mystic Bronze colour has a satin matte finish, which they call a haze finish. The Mystic Black colour, on the other hand, has a highly-reflective mirror finish.

The Cover Screen is now much bigger at 6.2-inch, and encompasses almost the entirety of the front.

The Main Screen is slightly larger in size, but appears significantly larger because the large notch at the upper right corner has been replaced by a tiny punch hole for the front camera.

You can see the crease along the centerline, but it appears to be less noticeable than in the Galaxy Fold.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 has two front cameras. The first is the 10 MP Cover Camera, with f/2.2 aperture. This is the “front camera” when the device is folded.

When it’s unfolded, the Display Camera becomes the front camera. It is also a 10 MP camera with f/2.2 aperture.

At the back, it comes with three cameras, supported by an LED flash, but no laser autofocus system like the Note20 Ultra.

Main Camera : 12 MP Dual Pixel sensor, f/1.8 aperture
Ultra-Wide Camera : 12 MP sensor, f/2.2 aperture
Telephoto Camera : 12 MP sensor, f/2.4 aperture

The Power button (with an integrated fingerprint sensor) and Volume control buttons are located along the right edge.

The SIM tray is located on the left edge, right at the bottom.

The top is clean. You will only find a speaker and a microphone here.

At the bottom, you will only find the USB Type C port, with a second set of microphone and speaker ports.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 : 7 New Features Coming Up!

Leave a reply

Samsung is introducing 7 new features to the Galaxy Watch Active 2 through a new firmware update.

Check out what those 7 features are, and when they are coming to your Galaxy Watch Active 2!

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 : A Quick Primer

Introduced last year, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is an active lifestyle smartwatch, with a slew of healthcare and activity monitoring features.

It is 5 ATM and IP68-rated and comes in two sizes – 44 mm and 40 mm, and in two styles :

lightweight aluminium, with a casual Fluoroelastomer (FKM) band
premium solid stainless steel, with a leather strap

They can be further personalised with a range of stylish straps and watch face options.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 : 7 New Features Added!

Samsung is introducing 7 new features to the Galaxy Watch Active 2 through a new firmware update. Here is a quick look at what’s coming!

Running Analysis + VO2 max

The updated Galaxy Watch Active 2 will feature a new standalone Running Analysis feature that can provide metrics, to help you improve performance and reduce injury :

asymmetry
regularity
stiffness
vertical oscillation
ground contact time

You will also be able to measure VO2 max – an indicator of the maximum amount of oxygen you can utilise during intense exercise.

This is a common measurement used to determine your fitness and performance capacity. You can use it to track your training progress, and help improve your endurance.

When you select Running under the exercise feature in Samsung Health, your Galaxy Watch Active 2 will automatically perform both Running Analysis and measure your VO2 max.

For an accurate reading, you should only measure VO2 max while running outdoors at high intensity for at least 20 minutes.

Fall Detection

The new Fall Detection feature will help you care for yourself and your loved ones, even when you are apart during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When a potential fall is detected, you are immediately given the option to send an SOS notification to up to four pre-designated contacts. This ensures that help is never too far away!

Here are the steps to activate Fall Detection :

Open the Galaxy Wearable app
Select SOS
Turn on Detect falls
Add the contacts you want to receive your SOS notifications.

Chat History + Photo View

With the new update, you can now view emoticons and photos directly from your wrist with Photo View.

And with Smart Reply, you will be given a suggested response for both messages and images, based on advanced photo recognition technology, so you can send a reply!

Your Galaxy Watch Active 2 will also now show your chat history, instead of a single message, so you can understand the context of that message. No more switching to your phone to check out the full conversation!

You will also be able to send both AR Emoji Stickers and Bitmoji Stickers from your Galaxy Watch Active 2!

Seamless Music + Scroll Capture

The new firmware update will also give you instant access to your playlist on your phone, giving you a seamless music experience across your devices.

Finally, the updated Galaxy Watch Active2 will support a Scroll Capture feature, which lets you take a scrolling screen capture from your smartwatch that is automatically sent to your smartphone.

This lets you screen capture message threads, workout information and more, from your Galaxy Watch Active 2!

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 : Firmware Upgrade Availability

Samsung will start rolling out this Galaxy Watch Active 2 update starting today. Availability will vary by market and operator.

The update will initially be available for the Bluetooth version, and roll out to LTE versions shortly thereafter.

Please make sure you update your Galaxy Wearable app!

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 : Where To Buy?

Here are the online purchase options :

MY : R830 40mm | R820 44mm | R820 44mm
