5 changes that would make the Galaxy S9’s software dramatically better
Samsung’s made strides, but there are a few final things that make the GS9 frustrating to use.
I quite like my Galaxy S9+. The overall experience of using this high-end phone is great, but as I’ve said many times I’m not a huge fan of the software overall. To put it concisely, I use the Galaxy S9+ despite its software rather than because of it. That’s the opposite of my feelings toward phones like the Google Pixel 2 XL and OnePlus 6, which have software that draws me in and rarely frustrates.
So I’m going to nitpick for a little bit, and point out the handful of things I’d love to see change in Samsung’s software simply for my personal edification. The Galaxy S9’s software is finished and isn’t going to change dramatically, but hey maybe we’ll see some of these changes come to the Galaxy Note 9 or the GS9’s successor next year.
Make Samsung apps optional during setup
In an alternate universe where Google didn’t operate the Play Store or make a whole host of extremely popular apps, Samsung’s suite of pre-loaded apps would make a ton of sense. But the reality is Samsung’s apps are completely duplicative with Google’s, and they just constantly get in the way — and it’d sure make things simpler if Samsung just let you pick and choose which ones to use when you first set up the phone.
Some people prefer Samsung’s apps, but those who don’t should have a choice.
To be clear, I’m not asking for Samsung to go full-on Motorola or OnePlus and just move to only using Google’s apps rather than its own. I simply want the option during setup to choose which ones I want. I know a lot of people like Samsung’s Gallery, Email and Messages apps, but I don’t — and I think everyone should have the choice. Of course you can set your default apps and hide the ones you don’t want from your launcher, but why should we have to go through that hassle?
Yes I understand that Google requires that Samsung load many of its apps as a condition of having the Play Store, and that’s rather unfair to Samsung. But it’s the world that every Android manufacturer plays in, and I would love to see Samsung make a consumer-friendly move and let us make the choice as to whether we want its apps or not.
The notification shade should respect media apps
One of the most egregious examples of Samsung’s software being designed in a vacuum is its notification shade. Despite having guidelines to help integrate, the Galaxy S9’s notification shade has no idea how to gracefully handle app-defined non-standard notification colors, leading to jarring (and frankly broken looking) visuals. The entire shade is white, with these multi-color notifications coming through in a complete contrast — making it worse is the persistent bar at the bottom of the notification shade for managing notification settings.
Multi-colored notifications from media apps clash hard with the white aesthetic in a way that makes me wonder if anyone at Samsung listens to music or podcasts with third-party apps. There are ways that you can integrate these multi-colored notifications in a smooth way, and it looks like it hasn’t even made an attempt.
Fix your dang keyboard
Despite its massive engineering resources, Samsung somehow continues to ship one of the worst virtual keyboards in the industry. Yes you can replace it, as I do with every Samsung phone I use. But the people who don’t know (or care) to replace their keyboard end up using this subpar experience.
I’m not sure what it is, but Samsung’s auto correction system is just horrible. It randomly inserts punctuation and corrects words to form incoherent sentences with no regards to the structure of the words around it. I don’t quite understand how it could be this bad, especially given there are many companies that would happily license (or outright sel) to Samsung to improve things.

Overhaul the lock screen and always-on display
Being an early pioneer of OLED displays, Samsung had a big differentiator on its hand when it introduced its always-on display. But it’s 2018, and every single company has some sort of ambient display now — the core concept of Samsung’s hasn’t changed since it was introduced.
Samsung was an early pioneer of always-on displays, but it’s fallen behind now.
Always-on display is pretty useful, but only in a very limited set of conditions. It shows you various different clock styles, along with the date and a couple other small bits of information … and that’s it. There’s no integration with the lock screen or notifications, so any interaction with the always-on display is different from what you’d experience by turning on the screen first. Yes you can add music controls and calendar “widgets” to the always-on display, but these are different from the lock screen ones. Baffling.
The always-on display shows icons for notifications, and that’s it. Why? Who knows. Every other manufacturer lets you glance at the screen and get a better view of details about the notifications right alongside the clock and date information Samsung provides. Samsung knows you want to see the notification details on the lock screen itself, why not show a greyscale version on the always-on display also?
I like that Samsung has put a lot of thought into the design of the always-on display, and it definitely wins in the customization department, but the functionality portion of the equation isn’t anywhere near the competition. This needs a redo.
Push out security updates, please
It’s hard to pick on this one in particular because it’s both something you can’t actually see and something that isn’t actually wrong with the current software on the phone. But Samsung continues to have a borderline abysmal record of consistently updating its phones to the latest security patches, even for the latest high-end models.
People buying an $800 phone shouldn’t have to worry about updates for a while.
Perhaps the most frustrating part about this whole situation is that it varies wildly between regions and even specific carriers. Some have received a few security updates since launch and are just a month behind, while others haven’t received a single update. Considering Samsung isn’t interested in pushing large bugfix and feature improvements regularly, in which it would make sense to maybe roll up a couple security updates together with them, it must improve the cadence of security updates to its phones.
You can argue that the average consumer doesn’t care about security updates, and I’d agree with you. But I’d also say these are the people who will benefit most from having inherently more secure software to save them from unknown security holes they may be walkaing into.
So that’s my list of changes I’d like to see on the Galaxy S9 — do you have any of the same complaints? Or maybe different ones?

Vivo Unveils 3D Sensing Technology With 10 Times as Many Data Points as Apple’s Face ID
Chinese mobile phone maker Vivo has today unveiled new 3D sensing technology which it says has 10 times the accuracy of the Face ID authentication system in Apple’s iPhone X.
Vivo says its Time of Flight (TOF) system uses 300,000 data points to map the user’s face in three dimensions, compared to the 30,000 points of infrared light used in Apple’s facial mapping technology.
The TOF system works by detecting the time it takes for emitted pulse light to return to the sensor, which allows it to accurately map objects at up to three meters in front of it, according to Vivo. The company said the tech would enable “new opportunities in facial, gesture and motion recognition, 3D photography and AR, expanding the capabilities of the next generation of smart devices.”
“From last year’s debut of In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology, the recent launch of the truly bezel-less Vivo NEX, to our ground-breaking TOF 3D Sensing technology, we continue to forge ahead and evolve towards the truly intelligent future by opening new ways for the AI to help the consumer,” said Alex Feng, Senior Vice President of Vivo. “By combining TOF 3D Sensing Technology with AI, we will continue to explore new possibilities for a better future.”
Vivo demonstrated the 3D sensing technology at the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai, a stage it has used in the past to make similar big reveals. Last year Vivo used the platform to unveil its screen-embedded fingerprint sensor technology, at a time when Apple was thought to be struggling to achieve the same result. Of course, it later emerged that Apple was leaving fingerprint recognition systems behind.
Vivo says its latest 3D sensing tech is “no mere proof of concept”, but it will be a while before it makes it into a commercial smartphone. Whether the increased number of data points automatically translates in practice to better security and accuracy remains to be seen.

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon chips will power next-gen budget phones
Qualcomm may have just launched the new Snapdragon 700 series a few months ago, but that doesn’t mean it’s slowing down in the release of budget and mid-range chipsets. In fact, the company has unveiled the new Snapdragon 632, Snapdragon 439, and Snapdragon 429 chipsets, aimed at bringing more power and smarter features to budget handsets.
Here is a rundown of the new chips and the features they have on offer.
Snapdragon 632
The Snapdragon 632 may be the newest addition to the 600-series lineup, but it’s not quite the most powerful. It joins the likes of the Snapdragon 636 and offers features like eight Qualcomm Kryo 250 CPUs and an Adreno 506 GPU. It supports displays with up to a Full HD+ resolution, as well as up to a 24-megapixel single lens, or a 13-megapixel dual-lens camera. Like many of Qualcomm’s other chipsets, the eight CPUs aren’t all functioning in the same way — instead, the chipset features four “performance” cores, and four “efficiency” cores, which kick in for lower-power tasks, ultimately saving battery.
According to Qualcomm, the chipset should offer several performance boosts over the previous generation Snapdragon 626. For starters, it boasts up to a 40 percent CPU performance boost over the last chip, as well as up to a 10 percent GPU performance boost.
There aren’t any phones with the new chip yet, but phones with the previous generation Snapdragon 626 include the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Pro, Moto Z2 Play, and more. Phones of a similar tier will likely adopt the Snapdragon 632 in the future.
Snapdragon 439
The Snapdragon 439 is set to be an excellent option for manufacturers building ultra-budget handsets. The chip replaces the Snapdragon 430 and brings with it a number of great features. Like the Snapdragon 632, the chipset offers eight CPUs, with four performance cores and four efficiency cores — though the CPUs here are Cortex A53 CPUs rather than the Kryo 250 CPUs in the Snapdragon 632. According to Qualcomm, the CPUs offer a performance boost of up to 25 percent over the Snapdragon 430. The GPU on the chip is the Adreno 505, which boasts up to a 20 percent boost over the Snapdragon 430. As far as camera support goes, the Snapdragon 439 supports up to a 21-megapixel single lens, or an 8-megapixel dual sensor.
Phones that used the previous generation Snapdragon 430 include the Moto G5, Nokia 6, and more — so similarly priced phones will likely adopt the Snapdragon 439.
Snapdragon 429
The Snapdragon 429 is the second new chipset in the 400 series, and its aimed at even cheaper phones than the Snapdragon 439. Instead of the eight CPUs found in the Snapdragon 439 and Snapdragon 620, the Snapdragon 429 features four Cortex A53 CPUs, and Qualcomm says this will give the chipset up to a 25 percent performance boost compared to the Snapdragon 425. The chipset also features an Adreno 504 GPU, which delivers up to a whopping 50 percent GPU performance boost over the Snapdragon 425. The chipset supports up to a 16-megapixel single sensor, or an 8-megapixel dual sensor.
Phones that feature the now-outdated Snapdragon 425 include the Xiaomi Redmi 5A and Samsung Galaxy J2.

Pepper the robot is now working at a bank in New York City
Mark Von Holden/AP Images for HSBC
The robot takeover of retail banking has begun.
It’s starting at HSBC’s main branch on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and involves a friendly robot called Pepper.
For those not in the know, Pepper is the work of Japanese telecoms giant SoftBank and French robotics firm Aldebaran SAS. The 120-cm-tall robot recognizes faces and emotions, and can respond through voice or by showing messages on its torso-based tablet. It can also be programmed with data according to its workplace, enabling it to provide specific experiences for those who interact with it.
Rather than overhaul retail banking overnight, HSBC says Pepper will provide customers with a glimpse of the “branch of the future.” That’s because the robot isn’t yet advanced enough to perform complex tasks.
So, at the bank, Pepper will perform a variety of rudimentary tasks, such as providing visitors with information about HSBC’s financial products and services, educating customers on technologies such as HSBC’s mobile banking app, and explaining options for customer support. It’ll also ask visitors questions before directing them toward the appropriate staff member who can offer more specific assistance.
HSBC promised Pepper will happily pose for selfies, too, and even tell jokes and do a little dance if a human member of staff isn’t immediately available.
It sounds like fun for visitors, but the main challenge for HSBC will be keeping customers engaged with Pepper once the novelty of seeing a robot staff member wears off. In its home country of Japan, most people don’t give poor Pepper a second glance when they spot it in a store, while a recent posting at a grocery store in Scotland showed that most shoppers simply ignored it, prompting the store owner to describe it as little more than “a walking sign.”
But as its technology improves, we can expect Pepper and robots like it to increase their skills and perform more useful tasks in a range of settings.
HSBC’s Pablo Sanchez, for one, certainly isn’t fazed by Pepper’s limitations, claiming the robot will offer visitors to the Fifth Avenue branch “an experience in retail banking like never before.”
He added: “We’re focused on developing the ‘branch of the future,’ and our use of Pepper will streamline branch operations and delight our customers, allowing bank staff to have deeper, more high-value customer engagements.”
Pepper has been showing up at a range of workplaces ever since its launch in 2015. Besides welcoming folks at department stores and airports, the friendly android has also been helping out at Pizza Hut and is even working as a Buddhist priest.
HSBC claims to be the first financial institution in the U.S. to bring robots to retail banking, and it hopes to introduce more Peppers to its branches nationwide in the coming months.

Facebook says it’s giving up on building its own internet drone
Facebook is abandoning efforts to build its own internet drone.
The decision to end work on its Aquila aircraft comes after four years of development. The aim had been to use the solar-powered flying machine to bring internet connectivity to communities in remote parts of the world that don’t have any internet infrastructure.
But in a message posted this week, Facebook said that since it started working on the Aquila drone in 2014, a number of aerospace companies had begun developing high-altitude aircraft with similar aims in mind.
“Given these developments, we’ve decided not to design or build our own aircraft any longer,” Yael Maguire, a director of engineering at the social networking company, wrote in the post.
The company says that it’ll keep the Aquila project alive by collaborating with partners such as Airbus, and also continue working on other initiatives aimed at getting more people online.
High hopes
Facebook once had high hopes for its solar-powered drone. The plan was to deploy a fleet of them at high altitude for up to 90 days at a time while delivering tens of gigabits per second of bandwidth to communities below.
But designing the Aquila drone, which at 42 meters featured a wingspan wider than that of a Boeing 737, was clearly a huge challenge. Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg made that abundantly clear in a blog post in the summer of 2016 in which he listed numerous hurdles that had to be overcome.
The team suffered a setback at the end of the same year when windy conditions during a test flight caused the aircraft to crash during a landing attempt, an incident that prompted engineers to review its design. It achieved a clean landing in 2017, but it’d taken six months to reach that point.
Abandoning work on the drone will result in the closure of a Facebook facility in Bridgwater, England. It’s not clear how many jobs will be lost or transferred as a result.
“Connectivity for everyone”
Maguire wrote that “connectivity for everyone, everywhere is one of the great challenges of our generation,” adding that Facebook has already connected nearly 100 million people as a result of its various efforts.
As the company now looks to aerospace firms to help it one day get an internet drone in the air, Maguire said Facebook is continuing to invest in developing next-generation, internet-related technologies “like Terragraph, working with partners on new infrastructure builds like our fiber project in Uganda, and supporting entrepreneurs in programs like Express Wi-Fi — all to help connect the four billion people who still do not have access to the internet.”
Facebook’s drone project had been competing to some extent with Google’s Project Loon, which uses enormous high-altitude balloons instead of pilotless aircraft to carry the necessary equipment for enabling internet connectivity.
Instagram now lets you video chat with up to three buddies
It’s a busy time for Instagram just now. Right after launching IGTV, it’s now introduced video chat in Instagram Direct that lets you chinwag with a single buddy or several at once.
“Video chat gives you the experience of real-time video in a private space and helps you feel close and connected to friends when you can’t be together,” the Facebook-owned company said in a post on Tuesday.
The feature lets you connect with all of your Instagram friends whether they’re using an iOS or Android device, and unlike some chat and messaging services, you don’t need a phone number to get started. So long as you have an active Direct thread with them, you’re good to go.
To begin a video chat, swipe into your Direct inbox and open any message thread. See the camera icon in the top right corner? Tap it to initiate a call.
During a chat, you can minimize the video and do other stuff on the Instagram app like sending messages and photos in Direct, checking your feed, posting a story, and so on.
The new feature lets you chat with as many as four buddies at a time, with each participant given their own space on the display so you can all see each other.
“If there’s an active video chat in a group thread, the camera icon will turn blue,” Instagram says. “Simply tap the camera to join in the fun.”
If you want to leave an active chat among friends or end the call if it’s with one other person, then tap the red phone icon at the bottom of the display.
Don’t want to receive a chat request from someone? Just block them to prevent calls. It’s also possible to mute an individual if you’d prefer not to receive notifications from them. To confirm your video chat notification settings, tap the gear icon on your profile and you’ll find the new video chat control in Push Notifications.
Explore and camera effects
Instagram has also given some attention to the Explore tab, retaining its style but adding new topic channels along the top to help you surface content of interest. You can move quickly between the different topics by swiping the entire grid.
Finally, Instagram’s one billion users can also have fun with some new camera effects designed by Ariana Grande, BuzzFeed, Liza Koshy, Baby Ariel, and the NBA.
Introducing video chat takes Instagram another step away from its roots as a simple photo-sharing app, but with people now so used to having social media apps packed with features, the team behind it calculates that this latest one will prove a hit. It should certainly achieve its main aim of keeping users within the app for longer, eliminating the need to hop out to a competitor to initiate a call. Launching with a group video option is also important, as the likes of Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Snapchat already offer such a feature. Apple’s FaceTime will begin offering group video chats with iOS 12 when it launches in the fall.

Amazon is finally bringing Alexa voice control to the iPhone
Amazon Alexa may be largely considered to be one of the best digital assistants out there, but users haven’t been able to interact with Alexa using their voice on their iPhone. Thankfully, that is now changing — Amazon is finally allowing iOS users to control Alexa with their voice.
The move to Android and iOS marks a big push for Amazon into third-party operating systems. Android users have had voice control since the beginning of the year, and at the time Amazon promised that the feature would be coming to iOS “soon.” Of course, you won’t be able to use Alexa natively on iOS — Apple simply doesn’t allow third-party digital assistants to get the same treatment as Siri — but you will be able to simply open up the Alexa app to ask Alexa questions. The update will be rolled out over the next few days, so if you don’t have it just yet, you will soon.
Like Alexa in your Amazon Echo, Alexa on your phone can do all kinds of things. For starters, you can use it to control your connected smart home devices. On top of that, you can ask it about things like the weather and access any of its 40,000-plus skills. Alexa on iOS and Android also has a visual component to it — if you ask about the weather, you get a visual representation of the answer on your phone. If you ask about your calendar events, you see your upcoming appointments.
It makes sense that Amazon would launch the feature on Android and iOS. Because of the fact that the company doesn’t have a decently large mobile user base of its own, it faces an uphill battle against the likes of Apple and Google, who have large user bases that have Google Assistant and Siri available to them in their pocket. Because of that, launching Alexa on mobile seems like the best way for Amazon to proceed in its digital assistant endeavors.
Alexa has been getting increasingly popular over the past few years. Mobile aside, the digital assistant is available in a range of speakers, plus it’s now coming to cars and kitchen appliances too.
Editors’ Recommendations
- LG’s SmartThinQ appliances cook up support for both Alexa and Google Assistant
- Alexa will automatically boot up personal app preferences based on your voice
