Last month, we exclusively reported that Samsung will launch three variants of the Galaxy Watch 7. Along with that, we also revealed the model numbers of the three versions of the smartwatch. Earlier this month, one of the variants of the Galaxy Watch 7 was spotted on the Bluetooth SIG platform. Today, the battery of another version of the upcoming smartwatch has been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) platform.
A battery from Samsung bearing the model number EB-BL705ABY has been spotted on BIS (via 91Mobiles). Going by the model number, it seems to be the battery for the cellular version of the top-end variant of the Galaxy Watch 7, which carries the model number SM-L705. The listing indicates the company is planning to launch the smartwatch in India. Unfortunately, it doesn’t reveal the battery capacity or other details about the device.
According to a previous report, the Galaxy Watch 7 might feature a 578mAh battery, which Samsung could advertise to be a 600mAh pack. The upcoming smartwatch is expected to feature a 3nm processor, which would be a first for Samsung, and is reported to be 50% more power efficient than the Exynos W930 from the Galaxy Watch 6. It should also come with an increased storage capacity of 32GB.
Galaxy AI’s webpage summarization and translation functionality is collectively called Browsing Assist, and in this article, we dive into how you can get started with and use Browsing Assist. You can also learn about the feature in the video below.
Browsing Assist: You need the Samsung Internet browser
If you thought you could use Galaxy AI to summarize and translate webpages in any browser, you would be disappointed. Browsing Assist is only available in Samsung Internet, the company’s in-house browser app.
If you’re not already using Samsung Internet or have it installed, you need to fix that before moving forward. Samsung Internet can be downloaded from both the Play Store or the Galaxy Store on any Samsung smartphone or tablet.
You will find two Samsung Internet apps on the app stores: one is the standard app and the other is a beta version that Samsung uses as a testbed for new features. You can download either version, as Galaxy AI works the same way on both.
Summarize webpages
Summarize, as the name suggests, is the feature that generates summaries of webpages using artificial intelligence, or advanced intelligence as Samsung likes to call it. The concept is simple: if you don’t wish to read through an article or piece of text on a webpage, you can get a summary of it to quickly learn what the article or text is about.
Like note summaries, Galaxy AI gives you the option of standard and detailed webpages summaries. Detailed summaries often offer you more useful info without being much longer than standard summaries.
For example, if you summarize our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review, which has 5000+ words, the standard summary will give you five bullet points talking about what makes the phone good. The detailed summary, on the other hand, adds two more bullet points and uses them to tell you about some of the not-so-good aspects.
In the screenshot below, you can see the difference between the standard (left) and detailed summaries (right).
Once these summaries are created, you can copy them right away, or you can translate them and then copy the translated text. In case you’re wondering, creating summaries requires an internet connection as the text is processed by Samsung’s servers, though the text is never stored on those servers.
Here’s how to create summaries of webpages using Samsung Internet and Galaxy AI:
Step 1: Open the webpage you wish to summarize in Samsung Internet.
Step 2: Tap the Galaxy AI icon in the browser’s bottom toolbar (if the toolbar isn’t visible, swipe down on the screen). It’s the icon with the four stars, highlighted in the screenshot below.
Step 3: Select Summarize from the pop-up menu.
Step 4: The AI will take a few seconds to process the page and then present you with a standard summary.
Step 5: If you want a detailed summary, tap the settings icon (highlighted in the screenshot below), select Detailed, and press Done.
Step 6: Once you decide which summary you wish to use, hit the Copy button at the bottom of the screen so you can copy that summary to other apps.
Translate summaries
You can also translate the standard or detailed summary before copying it. To do so, follow the steps above to get the standard or detailed summary, then hit the Translate button.
The source language will be auto detected, so just select the target language and you will get the translation instantly, which you can copy using the Copy button.
The first time you use the translate feature, you will need to download the language pack for the target language. These language packs can be 500-600MB large, so make sure you have enough mobile data bandwidth if you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection.
If you wish to translate an entire webpage without creating a summary first, Galaxy AI lets you do that as well. Follow the steps below to translate a webpage in Samsung Internet.
Step 1: Open the webpage you wish to translate in Samsung Internet.
Step 2: Tap the Galaxy AI icon in the browser’s bottom toolbar (if the toolbar isn’t visible, swipe down on the screen). It’s the icon with the four stars, highlighted in the screenshot below.
Step 3: Select Translate from the pop-up menu.
Step 4: Then, at the top of the browser, choose the language you wish to translate the webpage to using the drop down box. (If you are using this feature for the first time, you may have to first download the relevant language pack by using the Add languages option in the drop down box.)
Once you select the target language, the browser will take a few seconds and then present you with the translated webpage.
The original language of the webpage is automatically detected, but if not, tap the three-dot button and hit the Change source languageoption to change the original language.
Industry 4.0 has been a bedrock of innovation for at least the last decade. Now, as generative AI, advanced Machine Learning, and modelling algorithms become more accessible with “off-the-shelf” technologies, questions are being raised about the value – and risks – artificial intelligence might bring to the sector.

To cope with the demand for international bandwidth almost doubling every two years, Japanese corporations NEC and NTT have successfully trialed a revolutionary submarine cable technology set to drastically enhance internet speeds under the sea.
The transoceanic-class experiment transmitted hundreds of terabits across a staggering 7,280km, a feat made possible through a sophisticated algorithm.
NEC and NTT’s innovative solution uses a 12-core multicore fiber, comprising of 12 optical signal transmission paths within a standard outer diameter optical fiber, a significant enhancement from existing single-core fiber used in submarine cables.

MIMO technology
However, the addition of more cores to an optical fiber presents its own challenges. Interference, or crosstalk, occurs when optical signals leak from one core to another, leading to a degradation in communication quality. This is amplified in long-distance transmission where non-uniformity of delay and loss between signals makes accurate reception difficult.
To overcome these issues, NEC developed an algorithm for demodulating received signals using MIMO technology. This enabled accurate separation and demodulation of high-speed received signals. Concurrently, NTT developed the coupled 12-core multicore fiber optical transmission line which mitigates the effects of non-uniformity in signal delay and loss.
Moving forward, NEC and NTT say they aim to commercialize their research, potentially contributing to the realization of a high-capacity optical submarine cable system and terrestrial core network.
The research team, which recently presented its findings as a highly scored paper at the Technical Conference of OFC 2024 in San Diego, estimates that such systems could operate at hundreds of terabits per second, depending on specific cable designs, potentially heralding the advent of petabit per second class submarine cables.

The attractive, white, all-electric 4-door coupe sat hidden under shimmering gold fabric for most of Wednesday morning at the New York International Auto Show before Polestar revealed its new 4-door EV, the Polestar 4, and presented an innovation conundrum: does a car need a rear window?
This was Polestar’s big innovation for its new EV: removing the rear window and instead placing an HD screen camera on the spoiler and projecting that image on the interior rear-view “mirror”. Of course, that mirror is now a display.
“It’s not just for the cool looks and the design of it,” said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath in his presentation, “it actually has an incredible functional benefit.”

Ingenlath explained that, unlike roomier SUVs, a coupe like the Polestar 4 would naturally have a lower roof and move the center construction beam over the heads of the rear passengers. The space back there can only be narrowed so much because you need a clear line of sight from the rearview mirror to the rear window. However, when you remove the rear window, it lets you move the beam back while giving your passengers more headroom.
Converting the rear-view mirror into a display offers another benefit. Instead of looking at a mirror and seeing your car interior with a relatively small portal to the outside world in the middle of it, the entire display shows only what’s going on behind your car.

It’s not a crazy idea and not even that new. Years ago, I sat in a concept car with a rearview mirror that could switch between a traditional mirror and a video feed from one of the car’s many cameras.
A better view and more interior room sounds like a win-win.

However, comments online ranged from incredulous to disappointment. Most insisted that the $54,900 EV, which is expected to ship later this year, would be inherently less safe than a car with a rear window.

Some wondered if the Polestar 4 would even be street-legal. There are laws on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration books that, as of 2014, expanded the required field of view for all passenger cars. This was mostly done to reduce accidents where drivers had backed over children because they couldn’t see them playing behind their cars.
The rules, however, don’t address rear windows, just visibility. By that measure, the Polestar 4 might exceed safety requirements.

Others worried that the camera might get covered by snow, damaged, or even made less visible due to rain. I’d counter that the rear window on my sedan, which does not have a windshield wiper, is also pretty powerless against the rain.
Seems unsafe. Wonder if the United States has any laws about this? I know, for example, it’s required for vehicles to have side mirrors even though cameras can provide the same info to a screen much like the the rear view mirror in the Polestar 4.March 27, 2024

I’m not saying I love this idea. I can’t imagine teaching a new driver on the Polestar 4. Part of what you teach them is not to trust your mirrors. Yes, use them as a backup to make sure you’re aware of your physical surroundings and not about to change lanes into another car or that there’s no one standing behind you, but nothing beats seeing things directly. Turning your head to look out the rear window while you back up is good training for green drivers. It’s also the only way they learn about their car’s blind spots.
I understand that modern cars, especially EVs, have lots of cameras. I sat in a Lucid Air Grand Touring and saw cameras that could show me each wheel. Cameras like these, including all those on the Polestar 4, deliver valuable information that you can’t get by simply looking out a window and they can help with assistive driving features. However, as soon as we remove windows, we’re forced to rely on those cameras for crucial safety information. Perhaps they do offer a better and clearer view of the world outside our cars but I’m not sure they should ever offer the only view.
Finally, when Ingenlath first started describing the lack of a rear window and a “virtual view,” I assumed that the rear window glass might’ve been replaced with a giant screen that made it look as if you were looking out the back of the car. I know, the rear-view mirror display makes more sense, but I think I still like the idea of a giant display in the back, one that you sometimes have to look back over your shoulder to check.
Samsung has done an excellent job avoiding feature creep when it comes to Samsung Internet, its in-house browser for Android devices. The company doesn’t add new features very often, and the ones it does add go to the beta version of the app before coming to the stable version.
Samsung tests both major and minor features in the beta version, and the latest feature falls in the latter camp. The Samsung Internet beta app has received an update that adds a new option that, when enabled, prevents the menu bars from disappearing when you scroll through a website.
Latest Samsung Internet beta update adds option for persistent menu bars
Most browsers for smartphones hide all of their menus, including the address bar, when the user is scrolling. It’s something most people don’t notice or care about, but those who do, and perhaps find it irritating, can disable that behavior in the newest version of Samsung Internet beta.
The option, which is called Show menu bars while scrolling can be accessed from the app’s Settings » Layout and menus section. Once it’s enabled, menu bars at both the top and bottom will remain visible at all times.
The latest version, 25.0.0.31, of Samsung Internet beta also fixes bugs and improves general stability. It can be downloaded from the Galaxy Store. The app is also available on the Play Store, but the Galaxy Store is recommended as it receives updates faster. If you wish to manually install it without using any app store, you can download the latest APK file from APKMirror.
It’s unclear whether Tim Berners-Lee knew the magnitude of his authoring of the 1989 paper titled “Information Management: A Proposal“. But it was undoubtedly a transformative moment for humanity and has impacted society and business in profound ways.
35 years on from a mere proposal, we have interconnected systems all around the world that are powering large-scale big data analytics workloads, cloud-enabled quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) agents that are integrated into software components — like Microsoft‘s Copilot module. There may yet be further room for growth, with the metaverse and holographic projection possibly next in line as data transmission capabilities increase over the coming years.
Although the web was first proposed with Berners-Lee’s paper, the building blocks were in place for a few years beforehand by the US Department of Defense, when it decided to implement TCP/IP into its network. Thus, Arpanet was born. This eventually evolved into the model that’s become the web we use today — but it was a simple idea then, and pales into comparison compared with the intricately connected systems that govern every aspect of our lives.
The post-AI internet
The amount of data, for example, on the internet has exponentially surged — especially in the last few years. In 2018, IDC predicted that data would swell from 33ZB (or one billion terabytes) to 175ZB by 2025. Other estimates suggest it’s even greater, with 64ZB in 2020 ballooning to 181ZB by next year, according to Statista.
Considering what form the data takes is also key. With high-speed connections becoming more mainstream, the amount of video content has increased to the extent that it now represents 53.72%, according to a study published in 2022.
Now, however, there are also rising concerns over how much of the internet is real. A “shocking amount” of the content on the internet is fake, according to scientists with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a recently published paper. More than half (57.1%) of all the sentences on the web have been translated into two or more other languages, suggesting AI tools like large language models (LLMs) were used to create and translate them. It reinforces findings by 404 media, showing Google News is inadvertently promoting AI-generated content.
If Berners-Lee has anything to say about the future of the internet, we might adopt a new protocol known as Solid. Spearheaded by his new company, Inrupt, it leans on Web 3.0 principles and the prioritization of user privacy. Whether or not this idea takes off, however, remains to be seen.
During normal times, sluggish internet can be exasperating. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic – when many of us are operating from home or attempting to stay in touch with loved ones; issues with internet connectivity can have a far greater effect.
While factors beyond your control, like network saturation or insufficient bandwidth provided by your ISP, may contribute to these problems, sometimes the root cause may be within your own residence. Here are five factors to inspect to ensure your domestic internet connection operates at its optimum speed and efficiency.
Think of Acquiring More Equipment to Boost Your Signal Quality
Certain architectural designs of homes may prevent Wi-Fi signals from reaching every corner, regardless of the router’s placement. If you’re facing such a case, you have two viable but pricey solutions. Considering the current situation, it may be necessary to opt for home delivery.
Despite the more costly choice, a mesh router system is your best bet. These routers interconnect and provide extensive coverage under a single Wi-Fi network. You could place one in your living room on the ground floor, another in your workspace, and one more at the top of your staircase for multi-level houses. Each mesh unit requires a signal from its counterpart to relay the network further, but this setup is far more efficient than depending solely on a single router.
Set Up a Separate Network for Kids and Guests, and Activate QoS
When many devices are connected to the same network, it can drastically reduce internet speed, often reaching a near standstill. This situation is particularly common when multiple household members simultaneously use their devices. A potential solution is to allocate them to a different network to prevent interference with your connection.
This can be achieved by establishing a separate Wi-Fi router or activating your current router’s “Guest Network” feature, an option available in most models. This creates a distinct access point on your router, effectively segregating your access from your guests.
The primary purpose of guest networks is to provide internet access to visitors while isolating them from private devices. This partitioning can also be applied to your smart appliances, potentially safeguarding your primary devices from certain IoT attacks.
Reposition the Antennas of Your Router
Several wireless routers and gateways feature built-in antennas. These are situated inside the device and can’t be modified. If your device falls under this category, you can disregard this advice. However, if your router comes with adjustable antennas, it could be beneficial to alter their arrangement.
Typically, router antennas are omnidirectional, distributing signals in all directions at a right angle to the antenna. For instance, an upright antenna disperses Wi-Fi signals on a horizontal plane and vice versa. If you need to extend your Wi-Fi coverage across multiple floors, you might find it helpful to reposition an antenna horizontally. This enables the distribution of Wi-Fi signals vertically. Conversely, orienting the antenna vertically could be the solution if you aim to broaden your coverage area.
Position Your Wi-Fi router Centrally in Your Home
Positioning your router in a central location can optimize your signal’s reach. Although you’ll unlikely suspend your Wi-Fi router like a decorative centerpiece in your living room, here are some alternative spots to set up your router to enhance your Wi-Fi signal and increase your internet speed.
Eliminate Irritating Advertisements
Nearly all content platforms showcase ads. No matter where you browse on the internet, you’re bound to encounter ceaseless ads, images, GIFs, and auto-playing videos. Even if advertisements don’t bother you, they impact your internet connection speed.
The media in ads can cause a slowdown in your internet, so often the most straightforward solution is to block them. Installing an ad-blocking plugin can stop those data-intensive auto-play videos, giving your connection some much-needed space to function optimally.
Endnote
The effectiveness of your Wi-Fi router is key to the internet speeds you receive all around your house. Utilizing any of these recommendations can boost your home Wi-Fi signal and experience quicker internet speeds. If your speed is still not up to par after implementing these tips, it might indicate that you should start searching for a new internet service in your area.
