Samsung Not Ditching Google for Bing

Posted by Jane Danes on May 23, 2023

Samsung Will Not Abandon Google After All Last month, the New York Times reported that Samsung may consider switching to Bing as its default search engine on its devices. But it looks like Samsung has a change of heart. It is not going to use Bing as the default search engine on its mobile web browser, according to the Wall Street Journal. Every Samsung phone has its own Internet Browser. It has used Google as its default search engine although users can change it. If Samsung does consider ditching Google, the search engine giant would lose billions in yearly revenue. The smartphone maker said that switching to Bing will not cause a lot of disruption. The reason for this is that most Samsung smartphone users do not use its pre-installed browser. However, Samsung is backing away from this huge change because of concerns about how it could actually affect its relationship with Google. In the first place, it is difficult to understand why Samsung would want to switch to Bing. One of the possible reasons is Microsoft’s expansion into AI. But Google is not holding back. It has been ramping up its efforts to include AI-powered features in its search engine. In fact, its Bard chatbot is now available to everyone. There is no more waiting list. However, Samsung may still change its mind and switch to Bing. In that case, Google is not out of the woods yet. Remember that the company still has to renew its contract with Apple. The iPhone maker might be more motivated to switch considering that Google’s Android OS is its major competitor. But for now, Google’s parent company and its shareholders can now breathe a sign of relief. It is said that Alphabet pays Apple between $8 billion and $12 billion a year just to make Google the default search engine of iPhone maker’s devices. The amount is significantly higher than how much it is paying Samsung to keep Google as the default search engine. The extra revenue stream might be the reason Apple is sticking to Google. Bard and Bing AI Google Bard and Microsoft Bing AI are chatbots trained on datasets. The bots scrapped the data to obtain information from it. Then, the bots utilize the data to create answers to different questions entered by the users. However, there is a huge difference...

Samsung Health Monitor App Gets FDA Approval

Samsung Health Monitor App Gets FDA Approval

FDA Cleared Samsung Health Monitor App Heart Health Feature Image People love to use a health monitor app as they can track their progress toward their fitness goals. They have a record and they can hold themselves accountable. Whatever their progress is, the app can help them stay motivated to continue their fitness journey. On Monday, Samsung said that its Irregular Hearth Rhythm Notation (IHRN) feature of the app has received FDA clearance. With the app’s on-demand ECG function, the new feature can proactively monitor heart rhythm suggestive of Afib. Samsung said: “We’re excited to announce that Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification, designed to help millions of people around the world who may not be aware of a potential heart risk, has been cleared by the FDA. This is yet another example of how Samsung prioritizes proactive safety solutions and enables users to receive a more holistic understanding of their cardiovascular and overall health.” What is AFib? AFib is a threat to a person’s health. It is a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. When you have it, the upper chambers of your heart beat irregularly. In some cases, they beat rapidly causing blood to pool in the heart and form clots. If a clot travels from the heart to the brain, it can cause a stroke. The Galaxy Watch has Bioactive Sensor that can look for irregular heart rhythms. But you need to activate it using Samsung’s Health Monitor app. The sensor needs to pick up several irregular measurements to alert the wearer of a possible AFib activity. However, just because the sensor picks up these measurements, it does not mean that they are conclusive. Hence, you will receive a notification suggesting that you take an ECG reading to get a more accurate measurement. The feature is included in the One UI 5 Watch update. Apple Watch’s Similar Feature The Apple Watch also has this kind of feature. The FDA also cleared Apple Watch’s AFib History feature. It can be used by wearers aged 22 and above who have been diagnosed with AFib. The update was released in the fall of 2022. Why Is It Important to Monitor AFib? As mentioned, it is the most common form of irregular heartbeat. It affects millions of Americans. If it is not treated, it can cause...
