AT&T 5G Evolution marketing is going away but its 5G E icon will remain

5G has been the battle cry of many network operators and device makers so it wasn’t surprising to see carriers scrambling to promote their network as the 5G network to beat. More than two years ago, however, AT&T ruffled no small amount of feathers when it rolled out its “5G Evolution” advertising campaign and its accompanying “5G E” icon on … Continue reading

Justice League ‘Snyder’s Cut’ To Be Released On HBO Max In 2021

For those wondering how differently Justice League would have turned out had Zack Synder completed the post-production on the movie, wonder no more. In an official announcement by HBO and Warner Bros. Pictures, it looks like the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League will be released on HBO Max in 2021.

In case you’re unfamiliar with why this is a big deal, Zack Synder had originally directed the Justice League movie. The movie had completed filming and entered into post-production, but tragedy struck where Synder’s daughter had died. The director then decided to take time off to be with his family and handed off the post-production to replacement director Joss Whedon.

Whedon went on to make some reshoots which undoubtedly change the end result, and this has left many fans wondering how different the movie would have been had Snyder manage to complete his work. This led to call for the “Snyder Cut” to see what Snyder’s vision for Justice League would have been.

It was initially suggested that this “Snyder’s Cut” would never see the light of day, but this announcement has changed that. According to the director, “I want to thank HBO Max and Warner Brothers for this brave gesture of supporting artists and allowing their true visions to be realized. Also a special thank you to all of those involved in the SnyderCut movement for making this a reality.”

AT&T Agrees To Stop Using The ‘5G Evolution’ Marketing Term

Last year, AT&T decided to change the labeling on its phones where instead of displaying LTE, the company “upgraded” it to “5G E”. This caused a bit of controversy as it was not technically 5G, and some felt that by using the term “5G”, it would mislead customers into thinking that they had 5G when they really did not.

That being said, moving forwards it seems that AT&T has agreed that they will stop using the “5G Evolution” term. This is after the National Advertising Review Board agreed that by using the term, it would mislead customers into believing that they were connected to a 5G network even if they weren’t.

The panel also agreed that by using the “Evolution” term, it was unlikely that it would not be enough where customers could reasonably tell the services apart. It should be noted that in order to connect to 5G, you would need a 5G plan and a device that actually comes with hardware that supports it.

Simply changing the label does not make a difference, hence the confusion. AT&T has since stated that they will comply with the NARB’s decision, even if they “respectfully disagrees with the reasoning and result reached by the Panel majority.”

Check Out The Samsung Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition

If there is a problem with today’s flagship smartphones, is that they are not only incredibly expensive, but are pretty fragile too. This is because the phones were mostly designed to look good, and not necessarily rugged. However, it seems that Samsung thinks they can do both by creating the Samsung Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition.

Unfortunately, this is a device that most of us will probably not be able to get as it has been designed for military and government use. According to Samsung, “With a highly customized software and feature set, the Galaxy S20 TE can operate seamlessly with a range of existing peripherals and supports the requirements of tactical and classified applications, especially those designed to help operators navigate complex terrain, expansive distances, and the potential loss of communication with command units.”

The Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition will be more or less the same as the regular Galaxy S20, with some additional upgrades to make it more rugged for field use. It also comes with DualDAR architecture which basically doubles up on data encryption so that it can be used to securely send and receive sensitive information.

It is obvious that Samsung is hoping to get more of its tech to a wider range of users, not just the average consumers, and this sounds like a step in that direction. The company expects that the Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition will be made available in the third-quarter of 2020.

Vivo X50 coming next month with a tiny gimbal stabilizer inside

Smartphone camera technology has come a long way. We now have sensors that reach 108 million pixels and lenses that can be crammed like a periscope inside a thin body. The one thing that these cameras have trouble with, aside from low-light performance, is stabilization. Optical Image Stabilization, which still isn’t common on all camera modules, can only go so … Continue reading
