U.K. Smart Home Firm Hive Announces View Smart Camera With Detachable Camera Cube

Hive, the U.K. smart connected home company backed by British Gas, today announced the Hive View, a smart indoor camera with an emphasis on style and high definition livestream security.

The 130-degree wide angle lens camera is capable of 1080p live-streaming, automatic 16ft night vision, and includes Bluetooth 4.1 to simplify setup. Meanwhile, the design, by industrial designer Yves Béhar, features a separatable magnetic camera cube and a magnetic ball-and-socket base, together allowing for a multitude of viewing angles.

The magnetic base and rotatable head enables the camera to be mounted on walls and ceilings, but the more unique feature lies in the way the camera cube can be detached and temporarily relocated away from the mount, thanks to a built-in 2100mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery providing up to 90 minutes of power.

The Hive View is available in two color options – White & Champagne Gold and Black & Brushed Copper – and costs £189 for a single camera or £319 for a two-pack. A rolling 30-day camera history for up to two cameras, and a host of other member-exclusive benefits, can be included for £4.99 per month. Otherwise, the Hive comes with a standard 24-hour camera history.

It’s worth noting that getting the cameras to work requires a Hive Hub (£80) and an Android or iOS device for the Hive app, and there’s currently no HomeKit support. Hive also offers a Close to Home plan that offers a saving of up to £130 on the full range of Hive smart home products, including Hive Active Lights, Hive Window or Door Sensors, a Hive Active Plug, and the Hive Hub.

Keep an eye on your home’s interior with the mobile Hive View

You don’t need eyes in the back of your head as long as you have Hive’s new indoor security camera. Known as the Hive View, this smart security camera from Centrica Connected Home promises to fit naturally into any home environment.

Born out of customer research, which suggested that folks wanted an indoor camera to complement’s Hive’s existing roster of outdoor security solutions, the Hive View was developed in conjunction with designer Yves Béhar. The indoor camera’s most defining characteristic is the “Grab and Go” feature, which allows the lightweight camera to be disconnected from its thin stand and placed in various areas throughout the home for a truly mobile experience. Of course, the Hive View comes with now-standard features like HD live-streaming, person detection, and camera history, all of which can be accessed at any time from anywhere through the companion Hive app.

“Customer feedback is central to our design process and is invaluable in ensuring every feature of a new product has a tangible benefit,”  Tom Guy, Centrica Connected Home’s global product director, said in a statement. “Working with Yves and his team, we’ve built on this thinking with Hive View, a smart indoor camera that is strikingly designed and, most importantly, keeps people connected to their home, from wherever they are.”

Promising a straightforward setup process, the Hive View is said to work “within minutes of unboxing.” You can set up the indoor camera on a wall, shelf, or magnetic mount — regardless of which you choose, all can rotate, flex, and claim a 130-degree field of view.

Users can determine when to trigger the Hive View to capture content. Recording will only begin if sound or motion is detected, so you won’t have a surveillance-style camera frightening folks in your home. You can also choose to set the Hive View to only detect people, so pets won’t set off your recordings. Via the Hive app, you can watch a secure lives-tream in 1080 HD, even in the dark. All recorded content can be viewed for 24 hours, though if you upgrade to receive Hive Video Playback, you will have a 30-day rolling video history.

Currently available either in Black and Brushed Copper or White and Champagne Gold, the Hive View comes as part of the Hive Close to Home pack, which includes lights, sensors, plugs, and Hive Video Playback. This package will set you back $350. Alternatively, existing Hive customers can add Hive View to their current pack for $200.

Samsung Galaxy A8+ set to launch in India exclusively on Amazon

Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A8+ is coming soon to India.

Samsung introduced its mid-range Galaxy A8 series two weeks ago, with both phones now up for pre-order in Korea. With India being a key market for Samsung in 2018, the company is getting ready to launch the devices in the country exclusively on Amazon.

The Amazon India listing for the Galaxy A8+ highlights key features of the device, including the 18.5:9 Infinity Display and dual front cameras with Live Focus.

After dominating sales in India over the last four years, Samsung is locked in a battle with the likes of Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo. Xiaomi is now jointly tied with Samsung in first place in the Indian handset segment, and as a result Samsung is undoubtedly looking to widen the gap this year.

The Galaxy A8+ has all the ingredients to succeed in the Indian market.

The dual 16MP + 8MP front cameras will be a key differentiator for the Galaxy A8+, along with the 6-inch FHD+ Infinity Display. The phone also features an Exynos 7885 chipset manufactured on the 14nm node, and has a 16MP rear camera, IP68 dust and water resistance, microSD slot, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3500mAh battery with adaptive fast charging.

The Galaxy A8+ comes with either 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, or 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It’s likely we’ll see the latter model make its debut in India, with the 3GB option slated for the Galaxy A8 instead.

There’s no information regarding the launch of the Galaxy A8+ in India, but we should see the device debuting before the end of the month. We’ll have to wait until that time to know pricing details, but with the phone retailing for $599 in Samsung’s home market, it’s likely to assume it’ll be in the vicinity of ₹38,990 ($610) in India.

If you’re interested, you can head to Amazon India from the link below to be notified when the phone launches in the country. What do you guys think is a decent price for the A8+ in India?

Samsung Exynos 9810 now official with 40% faster cores and deep learning

The Exynos 9810 includes a third-generation custom CPU and neural network-based deep learning.

Samsung served up an early look at the Exynos 9810 a few weeks ago, and now the company has officially launched the chipset. The highlights of the chipset include a third-generation custom CPU, 1.2Gbps LTE modem, and sophisticated image processing that enables 4K video at 120fps.

Starting off with the CPU, the Exynos 9810 offers eight CPU cores divided into two clusters: four high-performance cores clocked at 2.90GHz, and four energy-efficient cores. With improvements to the core architecture and increased cache memory, Samsung is touting a massive 2x increase in single-core performance and a 40% uptick in multi-core performance when seen against its predecessor.

Samsung is also leveraging neural networks to improve its deep learning algorithms, which means the Exynos 9810 will be better at recognizing people or specific elements in photos. The technology will be used for depth sensing to scan a user’s face in 3D, enabling “hybrid face detection.”

Elsewhere, Samsung says the Exynos 9810 will deliver more immersive multimedia experiences thanks to a dedicated image processing and upgraded multi-format codec. Improvements in image processing will lead to better stabilization of images and videos and brighter photos in low-light conditions with reduced noise and motion blur.

Furthermore, the new image processing algorithms will enable 4K video recording at 120fps, which we’ll likely see on the Galaxy S9. The chipset features an industry-first Category 18 LTE modem with 6x carrier aggregation for a total bandwidth of 1.2Gbps. You’ll get 4×4 MIMO and 256-QAM, but it’s unlikely you’ll ever be able to get those speeds in real-world usage. The Exynos 9810 also has a separate security processing unit that stores biometric information like facial, iris and fingerprint data.

Samsung notes that the Exynos 9810 is currently in mass production, and while the manufacturer hasn’t officially confirmed it, this is the chipset that is likely to power the global variants of the Galaxy S9 and S9+.

Hive’s new home monitoring camera isn’t bound to its base

Hive is a relatively well-known smart home brand in the UK. It all started with a connected thermostat released back in 2013, endorsed by nationwide utility provider British Gas. Not long after that seal of approval, British Gas acquired the company behind the thermostat, and now the Hive range includes motion sensors, lightbulbs, smart plugs and a water leak detector. Last year, the Hive brand crossed the pond in hope of breaking into North America, and what better way to start 2018 than launch a new product in all markets simultaneously for the first time? That brings us to the new Hive View home monitoring camera: An attempt to balance style and feature set to stand out from the crowd.

It wasn’t long ago, just last summer, that Hive launched its first security camera. Requiring its own specific app and with no cloud storage option, it was a simple affair. And so it was back to the drawing board for the Hive View. That said, the new home monitoring camera has many of the specs and features common to competitor products. We’re talking 1080p livestreaming to the Hive mobile app, nightvision, a 130-degree field of view and Bluetooth pairing for a simple setup process.

Motion and sound sensors, the sensitivity of which are adjustable, will trigger notifications on your smartphone and entries into an event log. Thanks to a dedicated video analytics chip, the camera can also distinguish between people and, well, not people — meaning you can set it to ignore the family cat wandering in and out of frame. You get a rolling 24 hours of video storage for free, or 30 days with the monthly subscription plan. For the paranoid, there’s a scheduling feature that turns the thing on and off at times of your choosing, in addition to an on/off switch on the actual device.

Fairly standard stuff among home monitoring cameras these days, but then most existing products look basically identical: An eyeball on a pedestal. Form is one of the ways the Hive View hopes to get noticed. Designed by serial consultant Yves Béhar, its cuboid body and curved arm are an attractive break from the norm. The ball-and-socket base and rotating head lets you experiment with all kinds of Kubrickian angles. The base is actually made of two parts held together by strong magnets, allowing you to mount the thing on walls and ceilings and pull it down to set up elsewhere when needed. It also comes in two rather lavish color schemes: White and “champagne gold,” as well as black and “brushed bronze.”

This form also conceals a pretty unique function. Just as you can detach the base from the magnetic mount, so you can detach the cube from the base — Hive calls this “grab and go.” Say you want the camera to watch an open back door while you’re airing out your place on a hot day. Instead of moving the whole thing, base and power cable, you pop the camera off and it’s good for about 1 hour to 90 minutes untethered, depending on how often it’s triggered.

In the near future, Hive wants to make its home monitoring cam more than a peace-of-mind device with a special “moment mode.” Kind of like Google’s Clips camera, the idea is you point the Hive View away from your front door and at something you want to capture for the right reasons, like your kid’s birthday party. It’ll then take pictures at intervals to document the event so you don’t have to, as well as making the “grab and go” functionality a bit more useful day-to-day.

Announcing future features on day one might seem promising, but it also highlights what isn’t available out of the box. Basic things like two-way audio and digital zooming aren’t live at launch. The detection feature is very limited, too. Hive View can tell you it’s spotted a person, but the push notification doesn’t include a picture at the moment. You have to scan through the footage yourself for that info.

The Hive View launches in the UK today for £189 for a single camera or £319 for a two-pack (there’s no hard limit on how many the Hive app will support, though your internet probably won’t like 12 livestreams running at once). Bear in mind that the camera isn’t fully entrenched in the Hive ecosystem just yet, though — meaning it won’t turn your connected lights on when it detects a person, as an example of what’s promised in future updates. The Hive Video Playback subscription is £5 per month, should you want a footage archive stretching back a month.

There are also a couple of payment plans that include the View and various other Hive devices available to Brits. In the US and Canada, though, you can only buy one of these product packages to get one of the new cameras in your home (provided you’re not already on the Hive bandwagon, that is). If you’re an existing customer, you can simply buy a View for $200 (CAD $239) or spread the cost over 24 months. The 30-day rolling footage subscription is $6 (CAD $7) extra per month.

If you’re entirely new to the Hive range, however, then you have to purchase the entire “Close to Home” bundle, which includes smart lighting, motion sensors and plugs. This can be purchased for $350 (CAD $439) or spread over two years, but if you like the look of the View camera, you’ve gotta buy all sorts to get it. And if you’ve got yourself other brands of smart home gear plugged in already, then it just doesn’t make sense to double up, now does it?

Samsung’s smart TVs are getting ESPN and Freeform

If you have a 2017 Samsung Smart TV, you can now install ESPN and Freeform, thanks to the deal the Korean company struck with their overlord Disney. While both apps have been around on phones, tablets and streaming devices for a long time, this makes things much easier if you’d rather stream directly on your TV. The ESPN app gives you access to all things sports, obviously, including the upcoming Alabama-Georgia College Football Playoff National Championship. Freeform, on the other hand, is for binging on movies and TV shows, including Gilmore Girls and Shadowhunters.

You’ll still need to be a pay TV subscriber to be able to access both apps, however — that bit unfortunately hasn’t changed. It’s also unclear if they’ll ever be available on older smart TV models. But if you are a pay TV subscriber and have a new Samsung smart TV, then you can download the apps anywhere you are in the US.

Dell’s new XPS 13 is made from the same material as your running jacket

The Dell XPS 13 has been one of our favorite notebooks for a few years now, regularly scoring well in our reviews and regularly winning our Editor’s Choice award. We had to note in our most recent review, though, that the machine’s design was getting a bit stale. Dell apparently agreed, and it’s introducing an updated XPS 13 that looks like it addresses those design concerns — and then some.

To begin with, Dell shaved some size off of what was already one of the smallest and thinnest Windows 10 notebooks around. It’s now significantly thinner, less deep, and less wide, and its weight has gone down as well. That makes it, as Dell attests, the “smallest 13-inch on the planet.” That’s a significant improvement over what was already a very thin and light notebook, but Dell didn’t stop with the machine’s dimensions.

Key Specs

Intel 8th-gen Core CPUs

4K UHD next-gen InfinityEdge display

100 percent AdobeRGB, 400 nits, 1500:1 contrast

Gore thermal insulation

7.8-16mm thin

New Rose Gold color with Alpine White woven glass fiber

Up to 19 hours 46 minutes battery life

In terms of pure aesthetics, the carryover version of the XPS 13 also received a serious bump up. Dell retained the same model with black carbon fiber keyboard deck and chassis bottom and silver aluminum lid, but it smoothed out some lines and improved some angles. What was always a sharp notebook now seems more modern as well. There’s a new version that sports a Rose Gold aluminum lid with an Alpine White woven glass fiber palm rest, using a material that was specially developed for Dell. We’ll know in our hands-on experience if the new Rose Gold version is as comfortable as the older design’s carbon fiber build.

In addition, both machines sport a new Gore Thermal Insulation material that Dell says provides a thermal conductivity level that’s lower than air, which services to direct air out of the machine with greater efficiency. That promises to coax even better performance out of the latest eighth-generation Intel quad-core i5 and i7 processors.

Also new to this generation is a 13.3-inch 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 or 331PPI) resolution display that’s a real step up from the previous model’s QHD+ (3200 x 1800 or 276 PPI) maximum. Dell promises some serious quality from the new display, which offers 100 percent sRGB gamut coverage, 400 nits of brightness, and 1,500:1 contrast ratio. A new suite of “entertainment-enhancing technologies” dubbed “Dell Cinema” is also along for the ride.

All told, Dell is also calling this the “most powerful 13-inch laptop in its class,” while still promising great battery life at up to 19 hours and 46 minutes. The addition of a higher resolution display and new materials should help to keep the Dell XPS 13 at the top of our list of the best notebooks.

You can order the new XPS 13 today and it starts at $1,000 for the base configuration. Dell will also be selling an Ubuntu-based developer edition with Linux preloaded, starting at $950.

5G is finally coming: AT&T to begin mobile 5G rollout in second half of 2018

Well folks, 5G is finally coming. AT&T announced that it intends to be the first major network to begin rolling out the new 5G standard in the U.S., starting in late 2018. That means we are less than a year away from finally having consumer-ready 5G networks.

The new network will be based on the industry standard approved by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) just a few weeks ago, and it basically encompasses the use of low-frequency spectrum (600Hz and 700Hz), mid-frequency spectrum (3.5GHz), and high-frequency spectrum (50GHz). When used together, these different spectrums should help deliver a much faster experience.

“5G will change the way we live, work and enjoy entertainment,” Melissa Arnoldi, president of AT&T Technology and Operations, said in a statement. “With faster speeds and ultra-low latency, 5G will ultimately deliver and enhance experiences like virtual reality, future driverless cars, immersive 4K video and more.”

Companies have been racing to lay the foundation for a super-fast future 5G network in the past few years. Much of that has meant buying newly freed spectrum for use in new networks, like the Gigabit LTE networks that launched recently.

Of course, AT&T has been building hype for 5G for some time now. The company has been rolling out its so-called “5G Evolution” networks, which, to be sure, are not actually 5G. Instead, these networks use technology from existing LTE Advanced networks that other carriers have been deploying for some time now. Still, they do offer significantly faster data speeds than AT&T’s existing 4G networks. So far, 23 major markets have seen the rollout of 5G Evolution, including the likes of Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and more.

Apart from offering 5G connectivity to consumers this year, the company says it will also begin testing 5G deployment in businesses, to create a more seamless 5G experience.

It’s unclear exactly when each carrier will roll out its 5G offerings. While AT&T says it intends to be the first to introduce the technology, Verizon also plans an initial rollout in 2018. T-Mobile has maintained that it will begin to roll out its 5G technology at some point in 2020.
