The spectrum belongs to the operators and will have to negotiate with them to display their satellite mobile network

by

In January we knew that Starlink activated the direct cellular connection for mobileregardless of whether or not they have satellite connection. So that the system, called Starlink Direct To Cell, Offer mobile internet to any mobile, you must do it through the frequencies that are in use by mobile operators. Here comes the delicate. The situation. As our partners say Xataka mobilefor a company for a company like Starlink or Project Kuiper de Amazon Give us mobile connectivity, you need to do it through the frequencies that are already used for classical mobile networks. The problem is that these bands are licensed by Movistar, Vodafone and Orange. A possible route. Taking into account that Starlink and company are competitors, it is expected that the operators will want an agreement in which they do not be harmed. A possible route would be to negotiate the use of the bands with the regulatory agencies, thus jumping to the operators, but it will not be possible. The GSMA has spoken. It is the Association of Mobile Operators and organizer of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Have published A statement in which they give a series of guidelines for coexistence between land operators and satellite operators. The document establishes that Starlink and company must negotiate directly with the operators, who are the owners of the land spectrum. Marking territory. With this statement, the GSMA does not want to stop the arrival of satellite mobile connectivity services, but to mark its territory and defend what has cost so much to achieve terrestrial operators. To put it in context, in 2021 The 700 MHz band was auctioned and Spanish operators paid more than 1,000 million euros for their hole. It has all the meaning that they are who negotiate who uses their spectrum. Starlink has already negotiated similar agreements with operators from other countries such as the United States, Australia, Canada or Switzerland, so it is not something alien to the company. Of the satellite to the mobile. To offer internet to any mobile, Starlink uses a network of satellites that operate in the Leo orbit. These satellites fly lower to facilitate connectivity, about 360 kilometers from the surface. According to Starlink herself, they already have more than 600 satellites from their Direct To Cell network that add to the more than 8,000 satellites they have in orbit. If you want to continue expanding it to more countries, they will have to reach new agreements and pay what corresponds to use the frequencies.

If this week you do not find who fixes your phone, maybe he is competing in the mobile repair World Cup

by

If something can be gamified, we are going to gamify it. It is the best way to turn a daily task into something fun. Not surprisingly, there is a World Cup to collect garbage in Japan -How no-, but it is also something that allows demonstrating the skills in a program that many use, but not so many dominate: The World Cup. Cut by the same pattern is the CGC World Cupa competition that has become the World Cup to repair mobiles. It is an event in which knowledge is shared, workshops are held and in which the main course is a fight repairing a smartphone under very strict rules. CGC World Cup. During the last months, in countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Egypt or Indonesia, the qualifying phases of this competition have been held. The best talents of each region came with the hope of taking one of the squares in the final that will be held in the Chinese city of Guangzhou Los next September 17 and 18and it will be then when they have to expose their skills in front of the public and a professional jury. 20 minutes. That is the time that participants have in the tests. The competition seeks excellence both in the precision of labor and in the most difficult in these conditions: to fulfill the clock. The evidence is nothing unknown to competitors: Screen reconditioningwhich includes the replacement of damaged glass. CPU microsoration, such as the replacement of welding spheres. Repair of other terminal components, such as Wi-Fi modules or more common elements in repair workshops. In each job there is a counter and a red button that the participant clicks when it is over. At that time, the jury comes to verify the correct performance in the evidence. There are evidence from two hours 40 minutes Nothing easy. They are situations in which we seek to simulate daily work in a workshop like we can go to to repair our smartphone, but the demand is that the greatest precision is sought at work and, above all, to fulfill a time that is really adjusted (it is not the same in your workshop than in a streaming and with people judging your work at half a meter). As if that were not enough, there are factors that influence the “game.” For example, temperature. Professional attendees to the event comment They have air conditioning, yes, but precisely a temperature that they do not control can make their times vary because they may be more accustomed to higher temperatures in the workshop where they usually work and, even if they are a few degrees, it is something that can affect processes like him receptive. In addition, each professional is accustomed to their tools (some even customize them), but in the GCG World Cup they all compete with the same weapons. The mobile repair Messi. If the mobile lights, it is functional and the work has been done with maximum precision, leaving the smartphone in optimal conditions, wins. These events have also had their controversies, but in terms of experience, it is not only a competition, but a meeting point for the more top professionals of mobile repair worldwide, with panels and courses live. It is also an interesting meeting point for brand tools and distributors brands, so a synergy is created between the different legs of the sector. The truth is that these videos of people performing microsolduras attract a lot of attention, and many of those professionals that we see on YouTube are those who compete and attend these events. Among all, it stands out Wyman Lauconsidered the best ‘repair’ of smartphones in the world and what is a show see to work. In the video below you are performing microsolures between processor pins A17 PRO of the iPhone 15 Pro. It is a repair of the most advanced. It is called ‘CPU Jumper’ and consists of bridging two specific points of the integrated circuit of the CPU by means of a conductive thread, and it is something that is done when it is detected that one of the clues of the processor has been damaged by a fall, humidity or excess heat. Wyman Lau, with its G-Lon brand, is one of the top exponents of the CGC World Cup and someone who has been seen in the events. The World Cup problem of mobile repair? That, as a public that attends live, or you look at the screen on which it is broadcast or surely do not find out about anything if you look directly at competitors, since they do work at the microscopic level.

This is all we think about the one who aims to be Samsung’s most expensive mobile

by

Although they are not for all audiences (especially for their prices), Folding mobiles They have come to stay. Samsung has a lot to do with the consolidation of this category and has made the formats of their fold and Flip mark the way to follow. But there is a new format in which Samsung has not yet entered, the Triple folding. This is about to change. This is Everything that has leaked from Samsung’s triplegable. Possible Name of Samsung triplegable Although Samsung has confirmed its existencefor now they have not said what the new model will be called. At first, rumors suggested that Samsung Galaxy G fold would be calledwhich would distance it from the rest of folding that use the letter Z to differentiate from the rest of the ranges. During the summer, it was discovered that Samsung had patented another name that fits with a triple folding: Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold. We will have to wait to confirm it, but it makes more sense that Samsung wants to maintain the lyrics z in its range of folding. Thus samsung money earns: the secret is on the iPhone Samsung Galaxy Z Design Trifold This was the prototype they taught in 2021. Image: Samsung In recent years, Samsung has left us clues How they imagine a triple folding. In 2021 Samsung already showed several prototypes during the ‘Sid Display Week’, One of them was a triple folding. Later, in 2023, they showed Another triple folding prototype In the Mobile World Congress. Several weeks ago, This X user published three videos that contain several animations about some functions of the device, revealing that The design will be different from the expected. Thus I solve the folds in this prototype. Image: Tecno Unlike Huawei’s concept with the Mate XT Ultimate Designin which we only have a large screen and the mobile folds like forming a Z, Samsung’s triplegable It will have two screens: an external and a huge internal screen. When folding it, one sheet must be closed and then the other, like This concept presented by Tecno recently. The advantage is that so The interior screen is totally hiddenwhile in the case of Huawei is exposed on the edge. In This other filtered animation It looks how it will be deployed. Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold characteristics This summer the processor was leaked that will integrate the new folding, which will be none other than the Snapdragon 8 Elite for galaxy, the same one that carries the Galaxy Z fold7. In addition, it will be standard with Android 16 and Oneui 8, The most current versions of the operating system and the Samsung customization layer. On the screen, The rumors point that the internal panel will measure 10 inches diagonally and will be OLED type. In addition, it will have a Triple Chamber System which could be the same as we have at the Galaxy Z Fold7. It consists of a main sensor of 200 megapixels, an ultra angle of 12 megapixels and a 10 megapixel telephoto. Image: Qualcomm The filtration that we have mentioned in the previous block reveals some features, such as that it will have wireless load and also reverse load to load accessories such as headphones. Also Other functions have been leaked As you can reflect the home screen on the interior screen, with up to three pages of icons and widgets. Besides, Three apps can be used in Multiventana modea function that Samsung calls ‘Split Trio’. When will it be presented and what will be the price of Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold We expected that Samsung will announce its triple folding in the Unpacked That was celebrated this summer, but it was not so. Given the generalized disappointment, the company confirmed within a few days that the triple folding was in process and would arrive Before the end of the year. The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design. Image: Xataka In statements to the media during the IFA Fair of Berlinthe head of Samsung’s mobile division confirmed that development is in the “final phases” and reiterated the company’s intention to launch it before the end of the year. Today we have known that The device has received the certification in South Koreaso your arrival could be imminent. Samsung’s triple folding is expected to have A rather limited launchat least at the beginning. There are 50,000 units that will first reach South Korea and China. With respect to the price, there is nothing confirmed, but considering that the Galaxy Z FOLD7 costs 2,109 euros, Everything points What will be above 2,500 euros. In Xataka | 10 years ago, Samsung was the ugly duckling of Android software. Now is the example to follow

How to load the mobile to avoid accidents according to firefighters in Madrid

by

Let’s tell you How to load your mobile safely To avoid accidents, According to the firefighters of Madrid. Loading your mobile is sure, but that does not mean that accidents do not happen, and those who come in these cases are firefighters, so it is logical that they have detected concrete behaviors that lead to them. That is why The Madrid Security and Emergency Agency has published a series of recommendations for minimize possibilities that misuse of batteries when loading your electronic devices lead to an accident. This applies to both mobiles and tablets and even electric scooters. In addition to these tips, remember that in Xataka Basics we have also taught you How to load your mobile fasterHow to do it maximizing your useful life with The 20/80 ruleeither How to do it when there is no electricity. You also have advice on How to load the mobile at night. Be careful with surfaces One of the first things to take into account when loading the mobile is Be careful with the surface the place where you put them to load. Avoid putting them in a place where they give them the direct light of the Sun, near some device with heat. Come on, nothing to leave them loading on the dashboard of the car in summer or next to a radiator when we are in winter. Neither do you let it carry it on a textile surfacesuch as the bed, a chair or the sofa, and neither close to an easily flammable material such as curtains or cushions. This would make that there is an accident everything accelerated and started to burn. In this aspect, the safest thing is Choose a smooth surface non -fuelone that allows easy ventilation to prevent overheat. In the case of patinetes or electric bikes, it is best to load them outdoors where the dispersion of flammable or toxic gases is facilitated in case of fire. Be careful with the charger you use It is true that technology is increasingly expensive, but using the cheapest charger you find can be dangerous. That is why it is recommended Always use approved loaders. Not only those of the manufacturer itself, but also those of brands with good reputation and that always have security homologation. Nor do you use old loaders who are already deteriorated, however approved they were. In addition, this is important, Disconnect the device when you finish loadingbecause that can lead to overheating. And if when you are going to disconnect the charger you see that it is burning or very hot, again, do not leave it on flammable surfaces or near them. It is also advisable to touch your mobile or device during the load from time to time. If you notice that it is overheating excessivelyyou will have to unplug him and wait for him to return to a normal temperature before starting the load again. This, again, will avoid scares and dislikes. Do not repair the mobile anywhere If something fails on your mobile, do not start opening it and try to repair it on your own. No matter the ability we have, we could always leave something wrong that leads to a bigger problem. That’s why, Repairs must make them a qualified professionalwhat also leaves out that neighbor little hands that makes you quickly. Fume detectors just in case Those who give these advice are firefighters, so it is logical that they also recommend Install smoke detectors in your home. Because sometimes the care you have does not matter, accidents can happen equally, and having a smoke detector can save your life. These devices can warn before a fire occurs, only with the initial smoke, and this It gives you time to act quickly. You can turn off the device or unplug it, and in the event that the fire will start you will have more time to warn of emergency services and evacuate your home.

The new and radical idea to unravel the mobile

by

We are irremediably hooked on the mobile and has been created an entire industry that intends to “cure”. Manufacturers began to implement functions such as Time of usethere is boring mobiles to use them less and many Tricks to lower that screen time. Several apps have emerged that bet on a new method. One that uses NFC labels. The difference. The objective of these apps is to limit the daily time we spend using the mobile. They allow you to choose the apps that distract us most as Instagram and establish that we can only use them during, for example, half an hour a day. So far it works exactly like the functions that already integrate many manufacturers. The difference is that we can only unlock the apps if we bring the mobile to a physical object. A physical barrier. Time of use in iOS or digital well -being on Android are fine, but if you jump the warning that you have spent a lot of time on Instagram, you can ignore it with a simple tap. The idea of ​​these apps is that, forcing you to bring your mobile closer to an object, a more difficult physical barrier is created. If you carry the tag on top you can do it easily, but if for example you leave it at home when you leave, the thing is complicated and forces you to make a more rational use of the screen time. Apps. There are several apps that bet on the block blocking through a physical object. These are: Brick: It is the most popular app. The ‘Brick’ (in Spanish: brick) is how they have baptized their NFC label, which you can only buy on its website or from the app itself, and has a much larger design than that of a normal NFC label. It costs 61.95 euros, not precisely cheap. The app is free and is available both in iOS as in Android. UNPLUQ: It also has its own NFC label that is bought on its website or from the app. This time it is smaller and can be hung, for example, the keys. The other difference is that its price is 69.95 euros, but it is also the annual subscription. When you finish the period you will have to pay again. Can be downloaded in iOS and in Android. Scrolly: The main differences that instead of a more boring design, the label is a funny doll they have called Scrolly. You can also buy in The web or from the app and its price is 49 euros without subscription. The app is only available in iOS. LOCKED: The best option if you want to try this method without spending just. Has created a amateur developer And it is from open source. Although with a slightly less worked interface, in essence the operation of the app is the same. And the best: it is completely free. You will only have to buy an NFC label, which costs much less. For example this pack carries 50 labels and costs 8.41 euros. Friction. It has surely happened to you. You take the mobile to consult something and, without knowing very well how or why, you end up on Instagram, Tiktok or other devouring attention app. We have the employer memorized perfectly and we repeat it again and again. The idea of ​​these apps and other methods, such as empty the home screenIt is to create friction, that it is difficult for us to find the Instagram icon to stop being automatic and become something intentional, which we have thought and decided to do.

It is having put the whole mobile in the camera module

by

Apple checked yesterday with the design of its iPhone Airand rightly. But not because of its extraordinary thinness, which many seems to us a wrong obsession, but for something very different: its camera module, which is actually much more than that. Why is it important. In that small Apple module has managed to encapsulate not only the camera sensor, but almost the entire circuitry of this iPhone. They have done it with an objective: that the rest is just what an ultradelgado mobile needs, which is, Logically, drums. A Plateau prodigious. Those responsible for the firm explain in the description of the iPhone Air how the new Plateau (“Plateau”), that camera module, houses the cameras, the speaker, and the Apple Silicon family chip. Taking into account the reduced dimensions of said module, the achievement is exceptional. The rise of the MAC Mini M1 in Ifixit showed that Apple had a lot of space in that chassis. I was sung that they would end up offering a more compact model, as we saw with the Mac Mini M4. The Mac Mini M1 taught us the future. The extreme miniaturization Achieved by Apple in its integrated circuits already astonished us With the launch of the Apple M1 in the Mac Mini M1. These teams retained the chassis of the traditional Mac Mini, but in reality they could have been much smaller because the motherboard was tiny. So much so that with the Mac Mini M4 we could finally verify how small these teams could be. In the case of the iPhone Air that achievement goes one step further. The iPhone Air points to the folding iPhone. This technical achievement makes us inevitably think that this type of module can also end up being the protagonist in the hypothetical folding iPhone of which We have been talking for years. Rumors are in fact that we will see this device in 2026, and although the format does not seem definitive, Apple seems to be turning towards a foldable shell type like the Z Flip5, and not one type Z fold that when deploying resembles an iPad Mini. Of course, any of these options remains feasible. Unstoppable evolution. Other “Desceces” of Ifixit Like that of the Vision Pro They demonstrate that Apple’s ability to integrate all components into almost impossible volumes, and that is what they have demonstrated generation after iPhone generation. The motherboards of these devices have been dwarfing until we reach that minimum expression that we have seen on the iPhone Air. Total control = total integration. In that achievement it has a lot to do with that vertical integration that Apple has achieved. The firm already controls practically all sections of manufacturing and in fact on the iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 debut New connectivity chips and decisions like Eliminate traditional SIM slots. All aimed at making thinner devices, yes, but also more efficient. But. That technical achievement is unquestionable, but once achieved, why obsess with thinness? Having great autonomy remains one of the most valued characteristics in these mobiles, but in Apple they seem to prioritize once again – as in the time of Jony Ive – the form on the function. The iPhone Air looks striking, without a doubt, But I didn’t need to be so thin. Even Apple itself seems to recognize it: to announce a Magsafe battery in the form of “backpack” specifically designed for this mobile. In Xataka | The iPhone Air is the new attempt to solve what has tormented Apple for years: the fourth iPhone syndrome

That the mobile is updated is a long -awaited moment, but for my mother it is a nuisance. And the worst thing is right

by

“Nena, look at the mobile phone that I don’t know what happened that everything has changed. I can’t find anything,” said my mother just a few days ago. I looked at my mobile and understood what was happening, Your mobile had been updated. They are two very different realities: what would be a reason for joy for me is an awkward moment. This has made me consider that there are enough reasons to update may not be something positive. What if you are right? When updates are a nuisance In my family all They turn to me when they need to be configured by a deviceI am something like “the computer niece.” It is not the first time that An update causes the bewilderment of my relatives, especially the older ones. Every time a new one arrives, especially if it is a larger update of Android, I know that it awaits me a good time of: “I had that otherwise” and “you have changed everything.” Even if there is every time More elderly connectedthe generational digital divide It is a reality. In the case of my parents, they are handled quite well sailing and using different devices, but his Kriptonite They are the changes and if they are unexpected even worse. When the mobile is updated, the design of the icons or the arrangement of the menus changes, this causes a Rupture in muscle memory. It has also happened to me when reorganizing my home screen and wanting to open an app, but not find it. I have got used to quickly, but it is true that at first it is a nuisance. For my parents, spending time to learn the new interface and configure the new functions is an unnecessary complication. Beyond fear of change There are people fleeing updates for other reasons. If something has taught us history is that Sometimes updating is not a good idea. There have been few cases of Updates that have gone wrong. On the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple admitted that An iOS 17 bug was causing them to heat more than normal and another update made the iPhone restart unexpectedly. It has also passed on Android, like when The update to One UI 6.1 did not feel good to some Samsung Galaxy or when OnePlus had to stop an update Because I was full of errors. Image: Xataka Android Then there is the problem of old mobiles. In Android, Update support has improved a lotbut lower ranges mobiles do not usually go from the two years of updates. And it makes sense since many times the new versions make the hardware work more and that translates into performance falls or batteries that last a sigh. Apple starred in a controversial sound after admitting that reduced the performance of the oldest iPhone intentionallysupposedly to protect the battery life. Many people are expected to update major versions until they are sure that they are not causing errors like the ones we have mentioned. Even There are those who avoid updating completely. It is not the most recommended since Many contain crucial security patchesbut The tendency not to update exists, And it does not only come for fear of change or older people. The hype has been deflanding I remember a few years ago We constantly talked about the problem of Android fragmentation. It is a problem that Still therebut it seems that It is no longer the drama of yesteryear. As we said, manufacturers have greatly improved their update support and Offer seven years is already becoming a standard. Another factor that has influenced is the European law that dictates that mobiles and tablets They must be updated for at least five years. Image: Xataka Android In the case of iOS, the platform I have used for years, we do not have the problem of fragmentation, but in general there has been a tendency to More continuous updates that did not bring many striking changes. We have matured as users, he Jailbreak It has become fashionable and he root In Android it sounds like a thing of the past. In general, the desire we had to install the newest and customize our mobile phones to the extreme has been deflating. Suddenly I’m my mother The Liquid Glass of iOS interface 26. Image: Ricardo Aguilar for Xataka Apple wants us to get excited again with iOS 26, which with the Liquid Glass interface supposes The biggest design change from iOS 7there is nothing. The first time I saw her It caused me rejection; I think that transparent icons lose the essence of what has always been iOS, not to mention that I have serious doubts that readability is good. Some time ago I would have installed the beta on my personal mobile, in a kamikaze plan, but I have not done it. With the final update when I fall, I realize that It doesn’t make me very excited Have to “learn” the new interface. In the end my mother will be right.

15 years later, Instagram arrives at the iPad. He does it with news that make differences to the mobile version

by

Instagram and the iPhone have always gone hand in hand. The first version of the social network landed on Apple’s mobile In October 2010marking the beginning of a relationship that soon became iconic. Android users, meanwhile, They had to wait until April 2012 To be able to join the experience. The iPad, on the other hand, was out of the equation from the beginning. When Instagram reached the market, Apple’s tablet had already been available for half a yearbut never received an application designed for its screen. They have spent almost 15 years without that changing. Until now: This Wednesday the company has finally taken the step. The official Instagram application for iPad is now available Instagram has finally premiered an app designed for iPad, something that many users had time to ask. It is not a simple adaptation: the interface has been rethink for Take advantage of the big screenimproving access to messages and notifications, which can now be seen simultaneously. Even when reproducing Reels Comments can be expanded while watching the video full screen. The change is noticed as soon as the app. Stories are still visible at the top, reels can be seen in a big way and the tab Following It is divided into three views to better organize content: All: recommended publications and reels of all accounts in a row Friends: Accounts that follow the user and those that this also follows The latest: Chronologically ordered publications, prioritizing the most recent The messages also gain prominence: you can consult the entrance tray while a conversation is followed, and the system to read comments in Reels allows you not to lose detail of the video. Instagram has adapted its app to the most advanced functions of iPados. There is support for multitasking and floating windows in Ipados 26 (Available in Beta and that should arrive generally next week), full screen mode both vertically and horizontally and keyboard, trackpad and Apple Pencil compatibility. The application is now available in the App Store for any iPad with ipados 15.1 or higher. If you had the iPhone version installed, just update it: A second app will not appearbut the existing will automatically adopt this new specific design for tablets. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, He had admitted That the number of users interested in an app for iPad was never large enough to justify development. That excuse is already part of the past: Instagram finally has an official presence on Apple’s big screens.
