iPhone 14 Pro Max in Deep Purple is the most popular color

It’s been six months since Apple released the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and it still holds the crown as the best smartphone for several reasons. While BGR already reported it has a better camera and a better processor, a test conducted by YouTuber PhoneBuff shows Apple’s biggest phone also beats the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in a battery test.

Besides the spoiler alert, his video is very interesting as it’s the first time a Galaxy phone lasts for so long in a battery test. Long story short, the iPhone 14 Pro Max beat the S23 Ultra by 30 minutes, and during several hours of the 27-hour long test, it’s Samsung’s phone that actually reigns over the iPhone.

That said, it’s worth noting that while the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a 5,000 mAh battery and the iPhone 14 Pro Max offers a 4,323 mAh battery, it’s Apple’s iPhone that wins the test thanks to optimized applications and better integration between hardware and software.

During the tests, the YouTuber starts with a call, then texting, e-mail scrolling, web browsing, and Instagram scrolling. While both phones offer a similar experience, it’s during a 16-hours standby test that the iPhone’s battery drops way below Galaxy S23 Ultra from 73% to 66% (S23 Ultra stays at 69%).

The experiment continues with watching YouTube videos, gaming, playing music, and sending Snapchats. That said, with the Snapchat app, Galaxy S23 Ultra loses the lead as the battery drains from 27% to 15%, and the iPhone remains with 16% of battery life.

To end the test, the YouTuber kept opening all the apps he used from the test until the battery of one of the phones died. That said, it’s Galaxy S23 Ultra that turns off first. By the end of the trial, here’s how each phone performed:

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

  • Active time: 11h06
  • Standby: 16h
  • Total: 27h06

iPhone 14 Pro Max

  • Active time: 11h44
  • Standby: 16h
  • Total: 27h44

You can watch PhoneBuff with all testings in the full video below.

      Learn more Blind Face Video Restoration with Temporally Consistent Generative Prior and Degradation-Aware Prompt
      In real-world scenarios, both face images and videos may suffer from various types of degradation, such as downsampling, noise, blur, and compression. Blind Face Restoration (BFR) is a challenging task that aims to restore low-quality face images and videos that suffer from unknown degradation. Existing BFR methods have used facial priors such as reference prior, geometry prior, and generative prior in the network structure to perform restoration. However, they mostly focused on blind face image restoration (BFIR) with still images and have not been fully utilized for video restoration. 

      In this study, we present a new method called Stable Blind Face Video Restoration (StableBFVR). With StableBFVR, we have introduced temporal layers in the Stable Diffusion model that can preserve temporal consistency. The temporal layers are designed using two core technologies: Shift-Resblock that handles long-term information, and Nearby-Frame Attention that utilizes short-term information. Find out more about StableBFVR and how it performs better than existing methods at the Samsung Research blog.

      Learn more SAMSEMO: New Dataset for Multilingual and Multimodal Emotion Recognition
      Multimodal emotion recognition, recently gaining popularity, is a study area that analyzes a variety of communication signals including images, voices, and text in a multilateral way. However, the list of large-scale multimodal datasets is very short and the available datasets have various limitations. Hence, Samsung R&D Institute Poland presents a new dataset for multimodal and multilingual emotion recognition: Samsung Multimodal and Multilingual Dataset for Emotion Recognition (SAESEMO).

      SAESEMO contains over 23,000 video scenes in 5 languages (Korean, English, German, Spanish, and Polish) collected from diverse sources. All video scenes are accompanied with rich metadata and emotion connotations collected manually. The study also analyzes balance and energy of audio features for the most important emotion classes and compares them with CMU-MOSEI data. Moreover, it carries out multimodal experiments for emotion recognition with SAESEMO and shows how to use a multilingual model to improve the detection of imbalanced classes.

      Learn more Technology Innovation towards mmWave Fixed Wireless Access
      Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is expected to drive 5G subscriber growth, with global subscriptions reaching 265 million by 2029. FWA users can consume 20 to 30 times more data compared to regular mobile users, placing a significant strain on the network.

      Most existing FWA systems operate in Frequency Range 1 (FR1), meaning frequencies of 6 GHz or below. However, using Frequency Range 2 (FR2), which uses frequencies ranging from 24.25 to 71 GHz, can help improve FWS coverage and data demands. This article discusses key technology innovations that enable improved coverage and capacity for FR2-based FWA systems of 5G and 6G. Learn more at the Samsung Research blog.

      Samsung Enhances Hotel Stays With Apple AirPlay on Hospitality TVs
      By Samsung Newsroom
      Samsung Electronics today announced Samsung Hospitality TV compatibility with AirPlay, allowing hotel guests to connect their iOS and iPadOS devices to the TVs in their rooms easily and securely.
       
      Guests will be able to enjoy the convenience of watching their favorite shows and movies from popular streaming services, listening to personal playlists on various music platforms, viewing photos, practicing presentations, playing games and more on the TV in their room. By simply scanning a unique, on-screen QR code, guests can privately and securely connect their iPhone or iPad to the Samsung Hospitality TV.1
       
      Ensuring both convenience and robust security, no personal information is ever stored or saved and all information about paired devices is automatically erased upon guest checkout. This feature not only enhances the guest experience but also provides peace of mind regarding data privacy. Additionally, hotel managers and operators can easily update their management systems to enable AirPlay technology, simplifying the integration process.
       
      The integration of Apple AirPlay is part of Samsung’s broader strategy to enhance the in-room experience for hotel guests while providing powerful management tools for hotel operators. Samsung’s latest hospitality TVs include LYNK Cloud and SmartThings Pro for enhanced connectivity, seamless management and improved guest experience.
       
      “Samsung is committed to building a robust and connected ecosystem that enhances convenience, usability, and overall guest experience,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “AirPlay allows both iPhone and iPad users to easily share their favorite content on the big screen in their hotel room, making their temporary stay at a hotel feel more like home. LYNK Cloud and SmartThings Pro also give hotel management better business insights while making their operations more seamless and efficient.”
       
      For hotel managers and operators, LYNK Cloud is a comprehensive cloud solution for Samsung Hospitality TVs that offers customizable content, remote device management and access to OTT entertainment. Equipped with an e-commerce platform, LYNK Cloud provides an in-room ordering system that offers guests interactive services such as booking hotel services, ordering room service, a digital concierge and more, all bundled in solution. With LYNK Cloud, hotel managers can also use insights to personalize content and experiences for hotel guests to create impactful promotional content across different rooms or properties worldwide.
       
      SmartThings Pro brings enhanced connectivity to hotel managers, delivering more interoperability and security with IoT devices in their properties. Hotel IT managers can connect and control Samsung smart devices2 throughout the hotel, such as Hospitality TVs, Smart Signage, air conditioning systems and more IoT devices3 through one efficient dashboard. The SmartThings Pro Dashboard enhances multi-unit management, device performance monitoring — all designed with scalability and developer-friendly integration in mind. To meet the diverse set of hotel partners’ needs, SmartThings Pro also offers customizable Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for seamless integration with existing systems, and a customizable dashboard.

       
       
      1 Apple AirPlay will first be available in HBU8000 model and will be sequentially supported on other existing models.
      2 Available on Tizen 7.0 or later
      3 IoT devices which support the industry’s latest IoT specifications, Matter and the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA) can be connected to SmartThings Pro.

      Samsung ViewFinitiy S9 launches in August to compete with Apple’s Studio Display
      By BGR
      After being announced during CES 2023, Samsung is about to start selling its Apple Studio Display competitor next month. The 27-inch ViewFinitiy S9 monitor features a 5K display with a 99% DCI-P3 and 218 PPI.
      With more saturated and vivid colors with crisper details, the Sout Korean company says this monitor offers “smart color calibration designed for creative professionals,” which is an industry first. “Users can conveniently customize the screen for precise settings without expensive, complex calibration equipment whenever they want. Using the SmartThings app, users can choose to calibrate in the Basic mode for a quick and easy adjustment of white balance and gamma setting, or they can use Professional mode for complete control of color temperature, luminance, color space, and gamma settings.”
      Users only need to point their smartphone camera at the monitor to calibrate the display. Once it’s done, they can view a report detailing the adjustments made and the Delta E color accuracy,
      Like Apple Studio Display, the ViewFinity S9 offers a matte option to limit light reflection and glare on the monitor. It has Thunderbolt 4 and Mini DisplayPort inputs and USB-c ones as well. The Thunderbolt 4 compatibility allows users to charge devices with up to 90W of power and transfer data reliably at speeds up to 40 Gbps.
      Unlike Apple Studio Display, which offers a 1080p webcam, this monitor comes equipped with a built-in 4K SlimFit camera that connects via a pogo pin without additional cables or equipment. Samsung says the camera delivers “crystal clear quality for video calls” on apps like Google Meet.
      What makes the ViewFinity S9 display unique is the ability to use Smart TV apps when you’re not using the monitor to work. A report says Apple is working on a similar approach with a future display, but the availability is still unclear.
      With so many similar features – with a few extra points – Samsung’s Apple Studio Display competitor will also be available for less than Apple’s option: $1,599.99 vs. $1,799. In addition, the South Korean company has a cheaper option, the Samsung M8 monitor, which launched in June.
