  • Helpful AI Features In The Clever Galaxy S25

    Helpful AI Features In The Clever Galaxy S25

    With less than a week remaining until Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event in January 2025, details surrounding the Galaxy S25 series have emerged. A recent leak has provided fresh insights into the camera system and Galaxy AI features. Notably, the Galaxy S25 is set to integrate the Gemini assistant into applications like Samsung Notes and YouTube, but the standout is a new feature called Now Brief.

    The Now Brief feature appears to deliver real-time updates throughout your day. For instance, it could start your morning with a weather report and your energy level, include a “For your route” section featuring a map and a coupon, and even conclude with a “Night Summary” that reviews your daily physical activity. These discoveries were shared with the Portuguese platform Tecnoblog, and while the card names are translated into English, if these details are accurate, it seems Galaxy AI is poised to enhance daily living significantly.

    The capabilities of Gemini AI are already impressive, and these new images suggest even more functionality than anticipated. For instance, users might soon be able to play a YouTube video and command Gemini to “List the locations mentioned in this video and save a Note.” This indicates at least two applications that will work with the AI, with the possibility of others yet to be revealed. Even if these are the only two for now, having access to on-demand video summaries could be a massive time saver, especially for those learning new tasks or trying to determine if a video has the information they need.

    Regarding the camera setup, the Galaxy S25 Plus will feature a 12MP front camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 50MP main camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. It will be supported by a robust 4,900mAh battery, which Samsung claims can last up to 30 hours on a single charge.

    The Galaxy S25 Ultra offers an even more advanced camera array. The rear cameras will include a 50MP wide-angle lens, a massive 200MP main camera, a 50MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and another 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Additionally, the S25 Ultra will carry a powerful 5,000mAh battery. We’ll confirm the accuracy of these details and unveil what more the Galaxy S25 series has to offer on January 22.

  • Say Goodbye To This Tiny Yet Useful Windows 11 Feature

    According to a blog post by Microsoft dated December 12, the “suggested actions” feature in Windows 11 will soon be phased out, meaning users will no longer receive updates. This feature was designed to suggest relevant actions when copying specific information such as dates or phone numbers, facilitating tasks like creating calendar events or dialing phone numbers.

    This functionality was first introduced in a Windows 11 update in 2022 and provided useful contextual options based on the data being copied. Microsoft stated, “Suggested actions that appear when you copy a phone number or future date in Windows 11 are deprecated and will be removed in a future Windows 11 update.”

    The decision to phase out this feature might stem from a decline in its usage, as well as the impending launch of the new Click To Do capabilities, which provide similar functionality. However, it’s important to note that the Click To Do feature will only be available for Copilot+ PCs, leaving users with older Windows 11 devices without access to these enhancements.

    Microsoft has clarified that while the suggested actions menu will not be completely removed, it will no longer receive support and may malfunction or create issues as time goes on.

    Additionally, Microsoft has included several other features on its list of deprecated functionalities, including Legacy DRM services, Paint 3D, Adobe Type 1 fonts, DirectAccess, NTLM, and others. Recently, the company mentioned the discontinuation of updates for the nostalgic WordPad as of September 1, 2024, alongside its shift from the Control Panel to the centralized Settings app. Therefore, it’s clear that users may see more beloved applications phased out, and only time will reveal what else Microsoft plans to remove or discontinue support for in future updates.
