With details about the devices trickling down in a steady stream, the upcoming smartphones are starting to take shape. Here is a quick rundown of the latest rumors about the Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL.</p> <p>The Pixel series, since it debuted in 2016, are famed for their cameras. Released at a time when Apple started the trend of adopting dual camera sensors, the Pixel opted for a premium single-lens approach. Much to the surprise of smartphone fans, the Pixel actually featured what could very well be the best camera in its class during 2016. Last year, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL adopted the same approach, taking on the competition with a single-lens shooter, and just like the first-generation devices, the two flagships proved to be one of the best, giving even the iPhone X’s dual camera sensor a run for its money.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956912/google-pixel-3-what-we-know-so-far/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/-y3TuWmVj0o" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4956912/google-pixel-3-what-we-know-so-far/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4956912/google-pixel-3-what-we-know-so-far/ Apple Watch Series 4: Walkie Talkie Feature Could Prove To Be Surprisingly Useful http://feeds.inquisitr.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~3/Bm73BkmUiDw/ https://www.inquisitr.com/4956583/apple-watch-series-4-walkie-talkie-feature-could-prove-to-be-surprisingly-useful/#respond Sun, 24 Jun 2018 22:37:20 +0000 https://www.inquisitr.com/?p=4956583 <p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956583/apple-watch-series-4-walkie-talkie-feature-could-prove-to-be-surprisingly-useful/" title="Apple Watch Series 4: Walkie Talkie Feature Could Prove To Be Surprisingly Useful"><img width="950" height="460" src="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/apple-watch-series-4.jpg" class="attachment-single-leader size-single-leader wp-post-image" alt="The Apple's Watch Series 4's walkie-talkie feature could actually be really useful." srcset="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/apple-watch-series-4.jpg 950w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/apple-watch-series-4-670x324.jpg 670w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/apple-watch-series-4-768x372.jpg 768w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/apple-watch-series-4-625x302.jpg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p> <p>There is no doubt that Apple’s Watch OS has evolved significantly since the introduction of the first-generation device back in 2015. While the original Apple Watch was still a step above the competition when it was released, the wearable was nonetheless bogged down by its software and lack of “killer apps,” which pretty much made the device into a very expensive accessory and very little else.</p> <p>One notable aspect of the <a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4946599/apple-watch-series-4-rumors-what-we-know-so-far/">Apple Watch</a> that its first users have grievances with was the fact that its operating system was not fully optimized yet. Users mostly praised the device for its sleek design and physical controls, but its software was a completely different story. Over time, however, Apple’s Watch OS managed to find its stride, and the Apple Watch began standing on its own.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956583/apple-watch-series-4-walkie-talkie-feature-could-prove-to-be-surprisingly-useful/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/Bm73BkmUiDw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4956583/apple-watch-series-4-walkie-talkie-feature-could-prove-to-be-surprisingly-useful/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4956583/apple-watch-series-4-walkie-talkie-feature-could-prove-to-be-surprisingly-useful/ Surface Phone: Microsoft Seems To Have Confirmed Andromeda’s Phone Capabilities, And It Makes Perfect Sense http://feeds.inquisitr.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~3/59TN1U1FsM0/ https://www.inquisitr.com/4956520/surface-phone-microsofts-seems-to-have-confirmed-andromedas-phone-capabilities-and-it-makes-perfect-sense/#respond Sun, 24 Jun 2018 21:52:05 +0000 https://www.inquisitr.com/?p=4956520 <p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956520/surface-phone-microsofts-seems-to-have-confirmed-andromedas-phone-capabilities-and-it-makes-perfect-sense/" title="Surface Phone: Microsoft Seems To Have Confirmed Andromeda's Phone Capabilities, And It Makes Perfect Sense"><img width="950" height="460" src="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/surface-phone-andromeda.jpg" class="attachment-single-leader size-single-leader wp-post-image" alt="Recent reports suggest that Microsoft's Andromeda device would include phone capabilities." srcset="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/surface-phone-andromeda.jpg 950w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/surface-phone-andromeda-670x324.jpg 670w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/surface-phone-andromeda-768x372.jpg 768w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/surface-phone-andromeda-625x302.jpg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p> <p>More and more signs are emerging that Microsoft’s Andromeda device, which is expected to be released sometime later this year, is actually the near-mythical Surface Phone. With the release of Andromeda seemingly getting closer by the day, more information about the upcoming device continues to trickle down in a steady stream.</p> <p>Take the latest information about Andromeda, for example. According to a <a href="https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/microsoft-andromeda-prototype-has-telephony-capability/"><em>Digital Trends</em></a> report, unnamed sources from Microsoft have stated that the upcoming device will feature phone capabilities. The device is not classified as a smartphone per se, considering that it is more of a smaller, more advanced extension of the Surface Pro line, but the device would definitely have cellular capabilities. If the sources are correct, Andromeda, or the Surface Phone, for that matter, would likely be equipped with 4G LTE connectivity, as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956520/surface-phone-microsofts-seems-to-have-confirmed-andromedas-phone-capabilities-and-it-makes-perfect-sense/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/59TN1U1FsM0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4956520/surface-phone-microsofts-seems-to-have-confirmed-andromedas-phone-capabilities-and-it-makes-perfect-sense/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4956520/surface-phone-microsofts-seems-to-have-confirmed-andromedas-phone-capabilities-and-it-makes-perfect-sense/ Galaxy Note 9: Samsung’s Upcoming Flagship Might Feature A Killer Stylus http://feeds.inquisitr.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~3/AaBzwdZg3pk/ https://www.inquisitr.com/4956403/galaxy-note-9-samsungs-upcoming-flagship-might-feature-a-killer-stylus/#respond Sun, 24 Jun 2018 21:18:36 +0000 https://www.inquisitr.com/?p=4956403 <p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956403/galaxy-note-9-samsungs-upcoming-flagship-might-feature-a-killer-stylus/" title="Galaxy Note 9: Samsung's Upcoming Flagship Might Feature A Killer Stylus"><img width="950" height="460" src="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/galaxy-note-9-1.jpg" class="attachment-single-leader size-single-leader wp-post-image" alt="The Galaxy Note 9 could feature significant upgrades to its S-Pen." srcset="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/galaxy-note-9-1.jpg 950w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/galaxy-note-9-1-670x324.jpg 670w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/galaxy-note-9-1-768x372.jpg 768w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/galaxy-note-9-1-625x302.jpg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p> <p>The Samsung Galaxy Note series has established itself as one of the most formidable lines of smartphones in the market today. Large, both in size and in raw specs, the Galaxy Note phablets have managed to carve a unique niche for Samsung among power users who require a lot of horsepower from their mobile devices.</p> <p>One of the Galaxy Note series’ main draws is its versatile stylus, aptly dubbed the S-Pen. Over the years, the S-Pen has proven to be one of the most reliable, advanced, and feature-ridden smartphone accessories in the market. Considering its various uses, the S-Pen has become a feature that closes the gap between Samsung’s flagship-grade units and Apple’s smartphones. If recent reports are any indication, it seems like the South Korean tech giant is preparing something special for enthusiasts of the premium phablet with its upcoming 2018 device, the <a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4946261/galaxy-note-9-samsungs-2018-flagship-phablet-is-all-about-size/">Galaxy Note 9</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956403/galaxy-note-9-samsungs-upcoming-flagship-might-feature-a-killer-stylus/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/AaBzwdZg3pk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4956403/galaxy-note-9-samsungs-upcoming-flagship-might-feature-a-killer-stylus/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4956403/galaxy-note-9-samsungs-upcoming-flagship-might-feature-a-killer-stylus/ Apple Was This Close To Retiring The Lightning Port, Claims New Report http://feeds.inquisitr.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~3/BoEQ8Mj2IQw/ https://www.inquisitr.com/4956334/apple-was-this-close-to-retiring-the-lightning-port-claims-new-report/#respond Sun, 24 Jun 2018 20:04:10 +0000 https://www.inquisitr.com/?p=4956334 <p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956334/apple-was-this-close-to-retiring-the-lightning-port-claims-new-report/" title="Apple Was This Close To Retiring The Lightning Port, Claims New Report"><img width="950" height="460" src="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/iphone-lightning-port.jpg" class="attachment-single-leader size-single-leader wp-post-image" alt="Apple might soon retire the Lightning Port for its iPhones." srcset="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/iphone-lightning-port.jpg 950w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/iphone-lightning-port-670x324.jpg 670w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/iphone-lightning-port-768x372.jpg 768w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/iphone-lightning-port-625x302.jpg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p> <p>Over the years, Apple has strangely developed a tendency to remove useful ports from its products. The 2015 MacBook, for one, got rid of all ports except one USB-C port, starting a dongle dependency that bogs down even the most high-end MacBook Pros of today. In 2016, Apple unveiled the iPhone 7, a smartphone that is essentially an upgraded iPhone 6S, save for the fact that it does not have a headphone jack. Apple’s reason then? Courage. Courage to take off the legacy port that remains useful until today.</p> <p>Since then, however, the market has adapted, and even Apple’s staunchest critics have followed the company’s lead into a headphone jack-less aesthetic. Even Google, which openly mocked the iPhone 7 for its lack of a headphone jack when it introduced the Pixel and Pixel XL, ultimately followed Apple with the release of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. So far, only Apple’s biggest rival — Samsung — has not adopted a headphone jack-less design for its flagship smartphones.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956334/apple-was-this-close-to-retiring-the-lightning-port-claims-new-report/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/BoEQ8Mj2IQw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4956334/apple-was-this-close-to-retiring-the-lightning-port-claims-new-report/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4956334/apple-was-this-close-to-retiring-the-lightning-port-claims-new-report/ Google Developed Smartwatch Rumored To Release Later This Year http://feeds.inquisitr.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~3/b0j8RPbC9e8/ https://www.inquisitr.com/4956314/google-developed-smartwatch-rumored-to-release-later-this-year/#respond Sun, 24 Jun 2018 19:43:49 +0000 https://www.inquisitr.com/?p=4956314 <p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956314/google-developed-smartwatch-rumored-to-release-later-this-year/" title="Google Developed Smartwatch Rumored To Release Later This Year"><img width="950" height="460" src="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/GettyImages-956205830.jpg" class="attachment-single-leader size-single-leader wp-post-image" alt="Android smart watches on display at Google I/O 2018" srcset="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/GettyImages-956205830.jpg 950w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/GettyImages-956205830-670x324.jpg 670w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/GettyImages-956205830-768x372.jpg 768w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/GettyImages-956205830-625x302.jpg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p> <p>While the Apple Watch may dominate the smartwatch space (in terms of sales figures), that hasn’t stopped competing tech companies from throwing their hat into the ring.</p> <p>Take Google, for example. The tech company has already released its own smartwatch-focused operating system, Wear OS. Previously known as Wear OS by Android and Android Wear, the Android-based operating system was initially released back in March of 2014 and has gone through numerous revisions since. The latest release, version 2.10, dropped back in mid-March, and a developer preview build is already available for version 3.0.</p> <p>Google, unlike Apple, has not yet manufactured their own line of smartwatches, opting instead to form partnerships with third parties. To date, companies including Asus, Casio, Fossil, LG, and Sony have developed their own smartwatch hardware, with Google’s Wear OS serving as the software backbone.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4956314/google-developed-smartwatch-rumored-to-release-later-this-year/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/b0j8RPbC9e8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4956314/google-developed-smartwatch-rumored-to-release-later-this-year/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4956314/google-developed-smartwatch-rumored-to-release-later-this-year/ Samsung Galaxy S10 And S10 Plus May Include 3D Face Scanner, In-Display Fingerprint Sensor, Triple Lens Camera http://feeds.inquisitr.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~3/UaB2Spnjwyk/ https://www.inquisitr.com/4955926/samsung-galaxy-s10-and-s10-plus-may-include-3d-face-scanner-in-display-fingerprint-sensor-triple-lens-camera/#respond Sun, 24 Jun 2018 13:24:53 +0000 https://www.inquisitr.com/?p=4955926 <p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4955926/samsung-galaxy-s10-and-s10-plus-may-include-3d-face-scanner-in-display-fingerprint-sensor-triple-lens-camera/" title="Samsung Galaxy S10 And S10 Plus May Include 3D Face Scanner, In-Display Fingerprint Sensor, Triple Lens Camera"><img width="950" height="460" src="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SAMSUNG.jpg" class="attachment-single-leader size-single-leader wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SAMSUNG.jpg 950w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SAMSUNG-670x324.jpg 670w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SAMSUNG-768x372.jpg 768w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SAMSUNG-625x302.jpg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p> <p>It’s not to soon to speculate about the particular features that will be standard for the next iteration of Samsung’s flagship phone line, the Galaxy S series.

We can expect the smartphone manufacturer to drop the often criticized iris scanner in favor of a 3D face scanning technology, similarly to that currently on offer from Apple’s competing iPhone X, a wildly popular feature that has become the industry standard moving forward.</p><p><a

The ingredients are premium and fresh and the price tag is good: people will enjoy these burgers at just $6 each. The restaurant is located at 680 Folsom St., according to <a href="https://www.bloombergquint.com/pursuits/2018/06/21/the-world-s-first-robotic-burger-is-ready-to-hit-the-bay-area"><em>Bloomberg</em></a>.

The restaurant has been in the same location for two years, where the Creator team worked to put together the amazing setup. The founder is Alex Vardakostas, who started working on the project in 2012. His team is comprised of engineers, designers, and roboticists from some of the biggest names in the industry, like Apple, Tesla, and NASA.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4953145/burger-making-robot-to-debut-in-san-francisco-this-june-at-creator/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/p_hpbmhE-LA" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4953145/burger-making-robot-to-debut-in-san-francisco-this-june-at-creator/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4953145/burger-making-robot-to-debut-in-san-francisco-this-june-at-creator/ A Lamborghini Smartphone Exists And Will Be Available In August 2018 http://feeds.inquisitr.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~3/tURMfiApxJI/ https://www.inquisitr.com/4951342/a-lamborghini-smartphone-exists-will-be-available-in-august-2018/#respond Thu, 21 Jun 2018 03:05:39 +0000 https://www.inquisitr.com/?p=4951342 <p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4951342/a-lamborghini-smartphone-exists-will-be-available-in-august-2018/" title="A Lamborghini Smartphone Exists And Will Be Available In August 2018"><img width="950" height="460" src="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Lamborghini-logo.jpeg" class="attachment-single-leader size-single-leader wp-post-image" alt="Detail shot of the new Urus" srcset="https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Lamborghini-logo.jpeg 950w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Lamborghini-logo-670x324.jpeg 670w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Lamborghini-logo-768x372.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Lamborghini-logo-625x302.jpeg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.oppo.com/en/about-us/">Oppo</a> boasts being ranked No. 4 of top five competitors amid the global smartphone industry.

And according to <a href="http://theweek.com/articles/779196/governments-creepy-obsession-face"><em>The Week</em></a>, these efforts violate Americans’ privacy and civil liberties.</p> <p>The Department of Homeland Security is working on a new database called HART, which is short for The Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology. HART is an all-encompassing database. For each person in the database, HART has biometric face and voice data, as well as information on any tattoos, scars, “physical descriptors,” and even the person’s DNA. Currently, HART reportedly has over 500 million people in the database, which include U.S. citizens but also foreigners. HART is expected to be fully operational by 2021, but it will be rolled out as early as next year. By the following year, HART is expected to have iris and facial matching abilities.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4948010/new-biometric-facial-recognition-databases-are-a-gross-violation-of-privacy-says-the-week/">Click here to continue and read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheInquisitrTechnology/~4/xCZeRhlKYrQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> https://www.inquisitr.com/4948010/new-biometric-facial-recognition-databases-are-a-gross-violation-of-privacy-says-the-week/feed/ 0 https://www.inquisitr.com/4948010/new-biometric-facial-recognition-databases-are-a-gross-violation-of-privacy-says-the-week/
