"Revolutionizing Holographic Displays: iPhone Transformed into 3D Projectors"

Researchers from The University of Tokyo have developed a new algorithm that allows smartphones to generate holographic images, potentially revolutionizing 3D displays for virtual and augmented reality. The method uses a smartphone screen and a spatial light modulator to produce full-color 3D holographic images without the need for lasers, offering a practical and cost-effective alternative. The team aims to enhance the performance of near-eye displays, such as those in high-end virtual reality headsets, and is working to improve the technology to display larger 3D images with more layers for a more realistic user experience.

"Revolutionary Smartphone Compass Technique for High-Sensitivity Blood Glucose Measurement"

Researchers at NIST have developed a technique using the magnetometer in smartphones to measure blood glucose levels with high accuracy. By attaching a tiny well containing a solution and a strip of hydrogel to a cellphone, they were able to detect changes in magnetic field strength caused by the hydrogel's reaction to glucose or pH levels. This low-cost method could lead to the development of inexpensive glucose testing kits that can be attached to smartphones, potentially revolutionizing at-home blood glucose monitoring.

"Comparing Samsung Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15 Pro Max: Speed Test Results Revealed"

In a recent speed test, the iPhone 15 Pro Max narrowly edged out the Galaxy S24 Ultra, finishing in 2 minutes and 54 seconds compared to the S24 Ultra's 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Despite Samsung's handset keeping pace with Apple's flagship, the iPhone's better app optimization on iOS likely contributed to its victory. However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra showcased faster internal storage speeds, providing a silver lining for Samsung supporters.

"2028: The Year of Self-Healing Phone Screens"

Analyst firm CCS Insight predicts that self-healing screens for smartphones, which can fix minor damage such as scratches and dents, will be available within the next five years. The technology would use a nano-coating on the screen's surface that reacts with the air to create new material, filling in the marks. While it may not be able to repair large cracks, it could effectively remove everyday scratches caused by regular use. Previous attempts at self-healing screens have been underwhelming, but CCS Insight is confident that a phone company or glass maker will release this technology before 2028.

"Google Pixel 8 Receives Game-Changing Upgrade, Outshining iPhone 15"

Google has upgraded the Face Unlock feature in its new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones to provide secure biometric authentication for payments and banking apps. The advanced machine learning capabilities of Google's Tensor chip enable the devices to verify the user's identity using the selfie camera alone, without the need for additional hardware. This upgrade brings the Pixel 8 in line with Apple's Face ID technology, offering a faster and more convenient alternative to fingerprint readers for secure authentication.

"Google's 'Holy Grail' Tech Puts Pixel Smartphones Ahead of iPhone in Underscreen Camera Race"

Google has revealed a new under-display camera technology in a recent patent application, which could potentially give its Pixel smartphones an edge over iPhones and Samsung Galaxy handsets. The technology aims to eliminate the notch or "Dynamic Island" from the display, providing users with an uninterrupted full-screen experience. Google's solution involves using specialized regions of the display that block or distort light in different ways, maximizing camera quality. By combining the output from each sensor using digital image processing and machine learning, the negative impact of shooting through a screen is reduced. While there is no guarantee that Google will produce such a camera in the near future, if successful, it could become a compelling reason to choose a Pixel device over an iPhone or Galaxy smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S24 series to feature EV-inspired battery tech for longer life

Samsung SDI is reportedly working with two Chinese companies to develop stacked batteries, which are used in electric cars, for smartphones and tablets. Stacked batteries can pack components more tightly, allowing for increased energy density and around 10% more capacity in the same space. The Samsung Galaxy S24 or S25 series could be the first to feature these batteries, which could improve battery life or allow for smaller phone sizes. Other smartphone and tablet brands may also benefit from this technology in the future.

iPhone 15 Pro and Ultra to Receive Major Camera Upgrades

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to feature a periscope lens that would allow for up to 5-6x optical zoom, a significant camera upgrade from the current 3x optical zoom. Periscope technology would be built into the Telephoto lens and allow for increased optical zoom without any blurriness or reduction in image quality. The periscope lens is expected to remain exclusive to the high-end iPhone model for at least the next two and a half years.

"Rumors suggest Galaxy Z Flip 5 will feature a larger outer display while Fold 5 remains unchanged"

Samsung's upcoming foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, will feature a new "droplet" hinge design, IPX8 water resistance, and a new touch screen technology. The Flip 5 will have a larger 3.4-inch cover display that is almost square and slimmer bezels on the inner display, while the Fold 5's outer hardware won't change much besides the new hinge. Both phones will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip and are expected to launch over the summer.
