Which country is the most voracious user of internet data quota?

Which country is the most voracious user of internet data quota? - Ericsson has just released its latest report on the use of mobile devices for the June 2019 edition. In the report entitled Ericsson Mobility Report June 2019, Ericsson also revealed which countries were the most greedy cellphone users consuming mobile internet data quotas throughout 2018.

The country in question is India. Mobile phone users in the country spend an average of 9.8 GB of mobile internet data quota every month last year. For the record, "India" here includes India, Nepal and Bhutan.

"The increase in LTE customers, attractive data offerings by operators, and changes in data consumption by young people who now like watching videos, affect the growth of data usage (in the Indian region)," Ericsson wrote in a report. Summarized by KompasTekno from Android Authority, Sunday (06/23/2019), the high level of data consumption in India was also supported by the relatively cheap mobile internet data quota price there.

One of the new cellular operators in India, Reliance Jio, is priced at a data package of 149 rupees (Rp. 30,000) for 1.5 GB which is active for 28 days. Ericsson predicts an increase in data consumption in India in 2024 will reach 18 GB. In Southeast Asia, the average data consumption per month reaches 3.6 GB in 2018 which is predicted to increase to 17 GB per month in 2024.

Ericsson predicts a sharp surge in data consumption in 2024 will occur in the North American region. By 2018, North America consumes an average of 7 GB of data per month and will rise to 39 GB on average per month in 2024.

This increase will be influenced by the strengthening of the economy, the rapid rolling of 5G networks technology, and more innovative content and applications. Globally, Ericsson said the increase in data consumption occurred because of the increasingly sophisticated capabilities of devices, cheaper data quota prices, and increased data-intensive content.

FedEx Refuses to Send Huawei Cellphone Packages from UK to US

FedEx Refuses to Send Huawei Cellphone Packages from UK to US - The blow is like not whacking Huawei. After President Trump banned companies in the US from having business with Huawei, now even the FedEx shipping company refuses to send the package containing the Chinese cellphone even though it is not a merchandise.

The well-known gadget magazine PCMag tries to send Huawei P30 Pro cellphones from their offices in the UK to the US, but the items are returned to the sender on the grounds that there is a ban from the US Government.

In the PCMag page, Friday, June 21, 2019, said the PCMag Office in the UK which has the P30 Pro will send to the magazine office in New York that needs it.

PCMag staff fill out the shipping form by including the telephone brand. The package left England through Parcelforce, part of Royal Mail. FedEx as a Royal Mail partner in America, got the package to be sent to the address in New York. But what happened, five hours later the package returned to England with a note that it could not be sent because there were US government sanctions against Huawei.

"On May 16, 2019, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and 68 global affiliations are included in the Register of Entities that assign US companies to do business with them. Sorry for the inconvenience, "it is written the reason the package was returned to the sender.

A representative from Huawei in an upload on Twitter, said that FedEx "misinterpreted" the government's decision and list of entities. There seems to be no legal reason for FedEx not to send Huawei cellphone packages.

Neither FedEx or Parcelforce did not provide comments and official responses to this incident.

"This is very ridiculous," said Sascha Segan, PCMag New York reporter.

Customizable decoration frames enhance the screen and ensure it matches any luxury space.

Thanks to the life span of 100,000 hours of self-emitting diodes in it, The Wall is designed to never die, but can turn into a digital canvas that best suits the interior needs and personal mood of its owner.

When the screen is not used, Ambient Mode can display a variety of curating art, from paintings, photos and art videos to images that can be customized with digital frames - which best suits the tastes of the homeowner.

Strategy of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Against iPhone 11

Strategy of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Against iPhone 11 - Rumors circulating Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will present the latest camera technology that will be a match for the iPhone 11. Given the news circulating, the iPhone 11 should get an upgrade for the main camera.

Citing the Tomsguide page, Thursday, June 20, 2019, the increase in cameras is very important for Samsung, so the possibility of the latest sensors will appear on the Note 10 and Note 10 Pro.

The information was based on ETNews Korea outlets, quoted by BGR, which reported that component maker MCNEX, which made Samsung's camera and fingerprint sensors, opened a new factory worth US $ 11.2 million, equivalent to Rp. 169 billion to make ToF sensors.


Samsung has received the ToF sensor from Partron, another component company. However, it makes no sense to think that Samsung will ask for additional assistance to produce sufficient sensors.

What can you do with ToF? As seen in the Galaxy S10 5G review, this sensor allows for portraits of bokeh effects with more precise separation between the foreground and back. But ToF can also enable a better AR experience.

The second news came from a reliable master of Ice Universe. Through his Twitter account he wrote that Samsung engineers from China claim that the Note 10 will have a three-stage variable aperture on the camera. For photo geeks, IU also provides f-numbers: F1.5, F1.8 and F2.4.

Samsung has used a two-stage aperture (F1.5 and F2.4) on the 12 MP sensor. This is the main camera found in the Galaxy S9 and S10 series, which can take pretty good photos.

In the third stage it seems a reasonable decision after two years of using the same technology, by making the camera more flexible by giving it additional control over how much light the sensor has in certain situations.

The combination with the ultra-wide telephoto and TOF sensor mentioned earlier is intended to get a smartphone with a lens for every occasion. It might even have the potential to overcome smartphone kings such as the Huawei P30 Pro.

While the iPhone 11 and 11 Max are both rumored to be getting three rear cameras in order to compensate for competition. Although there are some debates about whether only the successor to the iPhone XS Max will get this feature.

According to Bloomberg, the three cameras on the back of the iPhone will help capture a field of view that allows a wider zoom range. It will also capture more pixels so that the Apple software automatically corrects the video or photo according to the subject that was accidentally disconnected from the initial shot.

Bloomberg also mentioned that Apple is also planning an enhanced version of the device. Live Photos feature, which is reported to double the length of the video before and after the photo from 3 to 6 seconds.

Huawei goes wide with Mate 20 Pro

Huawei goes wide with Mate 20 Pro - Chinese smartphone giant Huawei has established a solid reputation for building devices with interesting, high-quality cameras co-developed with Leica, and its newMate 20 Pro continues in this vein with a three-camera set-up that features an ultrawideangle lens alongside wideangle and portrait modules. This is similar to the new Samsung Galaxy A9 (see below), although the Huawei has rather higher-end aspirations.

Its 16mm-equivalent
ultra-wideangle camera
sports an aperture of f/2.2
and a 20MP sensor, and
can focus as close as
2.5cm in super-macro
mode. Meanwhile the main
27mm camera combines
an f/1.8 aperture with a
40MP sensor. The 80mm
telephoto module only
has an 8MP sensor, but its
f/2.4 lens includes optical
image stabilisation. The
lenses are arranged in a
square on the device’s
back, alongside the Dual
Tone flash that aims to
match the colour of both
sunlight and artificial light.

Huawei claims the
camera can recognise
1,500 scenes and
scenarios using artificial
intelligence built into its
Kirin 980 HiAI processor,
and that focus tracking is
improved compared to its
previous models. Other
features include IP68
water-resistance, a 6.39in
curved OLED screen and a
huge 4200mAh battery
that can charge from
empty to 70% in 30
minutes, with wireless
charging also available at a
slower rate. We’ve already
had our hands on the Mate
20 Pro, and it looks like a
very impressive device with
a really attractive design.
We’re looking forward to
putting it through its paces
in a full review. Handsetonly
pricing and availability
are still to be confi rmed.

The Exchange, Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail

The Exchange, Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail - FOR MUCH OF their career as gallerists, Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail—founders of Carpenters Workshop Gallery—have questioned the perceived boundaries between contemporary art and design. “We’re nonconformists, because we’re not interested in design, as such—the functionality of the object is not relevant,” says Le Gaillard, 47. “What we like is the way that there is strong narrative in the object.” By way of example, he cites a curvilinear sofa by one of their designers, Sebastian Brajkovic, which appears to almost melt into the ground on one side, thus blurring the line between sculpture and furniture. So which is it? “Does it matter? Is it good enough as one or the other? Does function lower or increase the perceived value of an object or artwork?” Le Gaillard asks. In truth, the answer for Le Gaillard and Lombrail, who both grew up in Paris and have been close friends for two decades, is where art and design intersect. “We like the object to be an artwork,” says Lombrail, 40.

Before they joined forces, Le Gaillard and Lombrail each had art galleries of their own, in London and Paris, respectively, where their collections included visual art. They soon recognized their shared and growing interest in craft and form, and in 2006, the duo opened the first CWG in London’s Chelsea (they moved to Mayfair in 2008). They now have spaces in Paris, New York and, as of last year, San Francisco, helping talents like Studio Job, Maarten Baas, Robert Stadler and Ingrid Donat (Lombrail’s mother) realize their most audacious creations. Inspired by the Dutch Design movement, which has flourished since the 1990s, the two seek to regenerate the art of craftsmanship by offering their artists the opportunity to experiment and innovate with the help of some of France’s best artisans, who work out of their immense workshop just outside of Paris. Lombrail calls the space, which they opened in 2015, their “toy factory.”

Today, the items forged in the CWG foundry, or
hand-carved and crafted in the gallery’s wood and
upholstery workshops, end up in some of the most
beautiful homes in the world—influential architects
like Peter Marino, Pierre Yovanovitch and Jacques
Grange frequently acquire pieces for their clients.
“We never know if a piece will sell or not, but we are
quite confident that we will be able to convince eight
people in the world to buy it,” says Lombrail.

This May, CWG will showcase what it does best during the 58th Venice Biennale. CWG’s group show, titled Dys-Functional, invites 14 of its artists, including Studio Drift and the fashion designer Virgil Abloh, to create site-specific works inside the elaborate Ca’ d’Oro palazzo. The works will be installed alongside the palazzo’s formidable art collection.

“We wanted to say loud and clear that the way we think about design is [that it’s] equally as important as art,” Le Gaillard says.
