Compatibility, Sound Preference, or Location: Which Samsung Soundbar is the one for you?

When it comes to selecting a sound system, there are various variables to consider. This depends on your goals and demands, how you use your leisure time, whether watching movies or playing video games and even how compatible it is with the rest of your entertainment system. For some, the visual may be the most important factor, while for others, the sound quality is what makes their entertainment come alive.

Curious to know which is most suitable for you? Here are Samsung’s recommendations on which soundbar you should go for based on your needs:

HW A550 A series Soundbar
  • For gamers: If you own a gaming console and have been looking for an immersive sound experience, consider the Q-Series Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. With the ultimate 3D sound coming to you from every direction, you’ll be able to feel like you’ve stepped into your TV and are experiencing the game in the first person. The Q800A Soundbar comes with three channels, one subwoofer channel, and two up-firing channels – which ultimately means that the sound moves around you based on the action on your screen. Not only does it bring your games to life, but you can also experience playing music on a whole other level, as with the ‘Tap Sound’ feature, you can simply tap the soundbar, and it will recognize your device and play the song you’re currently playing on your phone.
  • Seamless compatibility with other devices: If you’re looking for an all-rounder soundbar that can jive with all of your devices, you can consider the S-Series All-in-One Soundbar with Acoustic Beam and built-in Bixby Voice Assistant.

Q800A Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTSX
  • All about the bass: The bass makes a great sound system for music lovers. If blasting music and dancing to your heart’s desire is your thing, you can go for the A-Series Soundbar with the Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X feature to give you immersive surround sound simulation. Imagine rewatching one of your favourite live concerts with the Powerful Bass Boost that’s connected to its very own wireless subwoofer – surely nothing could go wrong. The A-Series Soundbar can also connect to two different mobile devices simultaneously, allowing you and your friends to switch between your favourite playlists at any given time.

2022 and Beyond – Technologies that will Change the Dialogue

We are living in a do-anything-from-anywhere economy enabled by an exponentially expanding data ecosystem. It’s estimated 65% of Global GDP will be digital next year (2022). This influx of data presents both opportunities and challenges. After all, success in our digital present and future relies on our ability to secure and maintain increasingly complex IT systems. Here I’ll examine both near-term and long-term predictions that address the way the IT industry will deliver the platforms and capabilities to harness this data to transform our experiences at work, home and in the classroom.  

What to look for in 2022:  

The Edge discussion will separate into two focus areas – edge platforms that provide a stable pool of secure capacity for the diverse edge ecosystems and software defined edge workloads/software stacks that extend application and data systems into real world environments. This approach to Edge, where we separate the edge platforms from the edge workloads, is critical since, if each edge workload creates its own dedicated platform, we will have proliferation of edge infrastructure and unmanageable infrastructure sprawl.

Imagine an edge environment where you deploy an edge platform that presents compute, storage, I/O and other foundational IT capacities in a stable, secure, and operationally simple way. As you extend various public and private cloud data and applications pipelines to the edge along with local IoT and data management edges, they can be delivered as software-defined packages leveraging that common edge platform of IT capacity. This means that your edge workloads can evolve and change at software speed because the underlying platform is a common pool of stable capacity.

We are already seeing this shift today. Dell Technologies currently offers edge platforms for all the major cloud stacks, using common hardware and delivery mechanisms. As we move into 2022, we expect these platforms to become more capable and pervasive. We are already seeing most edge workloads – and even most public cloud edge architectures – shift to software-defined architectures using containerisation and assuming standard availably of capacities such as Kubernetes as the dial tone. This combination of modern edge platforms and software-defined edge systems will become the dominant way to build and deploy edge systems in the multi-cloud world.

The opening of the private mobility ecosystem will accelerate with more cloud and IT industries involved on the path to 5G. Enterprise use of 5G is still early. In fact, today 5G is not significantly different or better than WiFi in most enterprise use cases. This will change in 2022 as more modern, capable versions of 5G become available to enterprises. We will see higher performance and more scalable 5G along with new 5G features such as Ultra Reliability Low Latency Communications (UR-LLC) and Massive Machine Type Communicators (mMTC), with dialogue becoming much more dominant than traditional telecoms (think: open-source ecosystem, infrastructure companies, non-traditional telecom).

More importantly we expect the ecosystem, delivering new and more capable private mobility, will expand to include IT providers such as Dell Technologies but also public cloud providers and even new Open-Source ecosystems focused on acceleration of the Open 5G ecosystem.

Edge will become the new battleground for data management as data management becomes a new class of workload. The data management ecosystem needs an edge. The modern data management industry began its journey on public clouds processing and analysing non-real-time centralised data. As the digital transformation of the world accelerates, it has become clear that most of the data in the world will be created and acted on outside of centralised data centers. We expect that the entire data management ecosystem will become very active in developing and utilising edge IT capacity as the ingress and egress of their data pipelines but will also utilise edges to remotely process and digest data.

As the data management ecosystem extends to the edge this will dramatically increase the number of edge workloads and overall edge demand. This correlates to our first prediction on edge platforms as we expect these data management edges to be modern software-defined offerings. Data management and the edge will increasingly converge and reinforce each other. IT infrastructure companies, like Dell Technologies, have the unique opportunity to provide the orchestration layer for edge and multi-cloud by delivering an edge data management strategy.

The security industry is now moving from discussion of emerging security concerns to a bias toward action. Enterprises and governments are facing threats of greater sophistication and impact on revenue and services. At the same time, the attack surface that hackers can exploit is growing based on the accelerated trend in remote work and digital transformation. As a result, the security industry is responding with greater automation and integration. The industry is also pivoting from automated detection to prevention and response with a focus on applying AI and machine learning to speed remediation. This is evidenced by industry initiatives like SOAR (Security Orchestration Automation & Response), CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) and XDR (Extended, Detection and Response). Most importantly we are seeing new efforts such as the Open Secure Software Foundation in the Linux Foundation ramp up the coordination and active involvement of the IT, telecom and semiconductor industries.

Across all four of these areas – edge, private mobility, data management and security – there is a clear need for a broad ecosystem where both public cloud and traditional infrastructure are integrated. We are now clearly in a multi-cloud, distributed world where the big challenges can no longer be solved by a single data center, cloud, system or technology.

What to look for beyond 2022:

Quantum Computing – Hybrid quantum/classical compute will take center stage providing greater access to quantum.  In 2022 we expect two major industry consensuses to emerge. First, we expect the industry will see the inevitable topology of a quantum system will be a hybrid quantum computer where the quantum hardware or quantum processing units (QPU) are specialised compute systems that look like accelerators and focus on specific quantum focused mathematics and functions. The QPUs will be surrounded by conventional compute systems to pre-process the data, run the overall process and even interpret the output of the QPUs.

Early real-world quantum systems are all following this hybrid quantum model and we see a clear path where the collaboration of classical and quantum compute is inevitable. The second major consensus is that quantum simulation using conventional computing will be the most cost effective and accessible way to get quantum systems into the hands of our universities, data science teams and researchers. In fact, Dell and IBM already announced significant work in making quantum simulation available to the world.

Automotive The automotive ecosystem will rapidly shift focus from a mechanical ecosystem to a data and compute industry.  The automotive industry is transforming at several levels. We are seeing a shift from Internal Combustion Engines to Electrified Vehicles resulting in radical simplification of the physical supply chain. We are also seeing a significant expansion of software and compute content within our automobiles via ADAS and autonomous vehicle efforts. Finally, we are seeing the automotive industry becoming data driven industries for everything from entertainment, to safety to major disruptions such as Car-as-a-Service and automated delivery.

All of this says that the automotive and transportation industries are beginning a rapid transition to be driven by software, compute and data. We have seen this in other industries such as telecom and retail and in every case the result is increased consumption of IT technology. Dell is actively engaged with most of the world’s major automotive companies in their early efforts, and we expect 2022 to continue their evolution towards digital transformation and deep interaction with IT ecosystems.

Digital Twins – Digital Twins will become easier to create and consume as the technology is more clearly defined with dedicated tools. While gaining in awareness, digital twins is still a nascent technology with few real examples in production. Over the next several years, we’ll see digital twins become easier to create and consume as we define standardised frameworks, solutions and platforms. Making digital twin ideas more accessible will enable enterprises to provide enhanced analytics and predictive models to accelerate digital transformation efforts. Digital twin adoption will become more mainstream with accelerated standardisation and availability of solutions and framework, bringing deployment and investment costs down. Digital twins will be the core driver of Digital transformation 3.0 combining measured and modeled/simulated worlds for direct business value across industry verticals.

As a technology optimist, I increasingly see a world where humans and technology work together to deliver impactful outcomes at an unprecedented speed. These near-term and long-term perspectives are based on the strides we’re making today. If we see even incremental improvement, there is enormous opportunity to positively transform the way we work, live and learn and 2022 will be another year of accelerated technology innovation and adoption.

Six Edge Computing Trends to Watch in 2022

While many aspects of edge computing are not new, the overall picture continues to evolve quickly. For example, “edge computing” encompasses the distributed retail store branch systems that have been around for decades. The term has also swallowed all manner of local factory floor and telecommunications provider computing systems, albeit in a more connected and less proprietary fashion than was the historical norm.

However, even if we see echoes of older architectures in certain edge computing deployments, we also see developing edge trends that are genuinely new or at least quite different from what existed previously. These trends are helping IT and business leaders solve problems in industries ranging from telco to automotive, for example, as both sensor data and machine learning data proliferates.

Edge computing trends that should be on your radar

Here, edge experts explore six trends that IT and business leaders should focus on in 2022:

1. Edge workloads get fatter

One big change we are seeing is that there is more computing and more storage out on the edge. Decentralized systems have often existed more to reduce reliance on network links than to perform tasks that could not practically be done in a central location assuming reasonably reliable communications. But, that is changing.

IoT has always involved at least collecting data almost by definition. However, what could be a trickle has now turned into a flood as the data required for machine learning (ML) applications flows in from a multitude of sensors. But, even if training models are often developed in a centralized data centre, the ongoing application of those models is usually pushed out to the edge of the network. This limits network bandwidth requirements and allows for rapid local action, such as shutting down a machine in response to anomalous sensor readings. The goal is to deliver insights and take action at the moment they’re needed.

2. RISC-V gains ground

Of course, workloads that are both data- and compute-intensive need hardware on which to run. The specifics vary depending upon the application and the tradeoffs required between performance, power, cost, and so forth. Traditionally the choice has usually come down to either something custom, ARM, or x86. None are fully open, although ARM and x86 have developed a large ecosystem of supporting hardware and software over time, largely driven by the lead processor component designers.

But RISC-V is a new and intriguing open hardware-based instruction set architecture.

Why intriguing? Here’s how Red Hat Global Emerging Technology Evangelist Yan Fisher puts it: “The unique aspect of RISC-V is that its design process and the specification are truly open. The design reflects the community’s decisions based on collective experience and research.”

This open approach, and an active ecosystem to go along with it, is already helping to drive RISC-V design wins across a broad range of industries. Calista Redmond, CEO of RISC-V International, observes that: “With the shift to edge computing, we are seeing a massive investment in RISC-V across the ecosystem, from multinational companies like Alibaba, Andes Technology, and NXP to startups like SiFive, Esperanto Technologies, and GreenWaves Technologies designing innovative edge-AI RISC-V solutions.”

3. Virtual Radio Access Networks (vRAN) become an increasingly important edge use case

A radio access network is responsible for enabling and connecting devices such as smartphones or internet of things (IoT) devices to a mobile network. As part of 5G deployments, carriers are shifting to a more flexible vRAN approach whereby the high-level logical RAN components are disaggregated by decoupling hardware and software, as well as using cloud technology for automated deployment and scaling and workload placement.

Hanen Garcia, Red Hat Telco Solutions Manager, and Ishu Verma, Red Hat Emerging Technology Evangelist, note that “One study indicates deployment of virtual RAN (vRAN)/Open RAN (oRAN) solutions realize network TCO savings of up to 44% compared to traditional distributed/centralized RAN configurations.” They add that: “Through this modernization, communications service providers (CSPs) can simplify network operations and improve flexibility, availability, and efficiency—all while serving an increasing number of use cases. Cloud-native and container-based RAN solutions provide lower costs, improved ease of upgrades and modifications, ability to scale horizontally, and with less vendor lock-in than proprietary or VM-based solutions.”

4. Scale drives operational approaches

Many aspects of an edge-computing architecture can be different from one that’s implemented solely within the walls of a data centre. Devices and computers may have weak physical security and no IT staff on-site. Network connectivity may be unreliable. Good bandwidth and low latencies aren’t a given. But many of the most pressing challenges relate to scale; there may be thousands (or more) network endpoints.

Kris Murphy, Senior Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat, identifies four primary steps you must take in order to deal with scale: “Standardize ruthlessly, minimize operational ‘surface area,’ pull whenever possible over push, and automate the small things.”

For example, she recommends doing transactional, which is to say atomic, updates so that a system can’t end up only partially updated and therefore in an ill-defined state. When updating, she also argues that it’s a good practice for endpoints to pull updates because “egress connectivity is more likely available.” One should also take care to limit peak loads by not doing all updates at the same time.

5. Edge computing needs attestation

With resources at the edge tight, capabilities that require little to no local resources are the pragmatic options to consider. Furthermore, any approach needs to be highly scalable or otherwise, the uses and benefits become extremely limited. One option that stands out is the Keylime project. “Technologies like Keylime, which can verify that computing devices boot up and remain in a trusted state of operation at scale should be considered for broad deployment, especially for resource-constrained environments” as described by Ben Fischer, Red Hat Emerging Technology Evangelist.

Keylime provides remote boot and runtime attestation using Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) and leverages Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) which are common to most laptop, desktop, and server motherboards. If no hardware TPM is available, a virtual, or vTPM, can be loaded to provide the requisite TPM functionality. Boot and runtime attestation is a means to verify that the edge device boots to a known trusted state and maintains that state while running. In other words, if something unexpected happens, such as a rogue process, the expected state would change, which would be reflected in the measurement and would take the edge device offline, because it entered an untrusted state. This device could be investigated and remediated and put back into service again in a trusted state.

6. Confidential Computing becomes more important at the edge

Security at the edge requires broad preparation. Availability of resources, such as network connectivity, electricity, staff, equipment, and functionality vary widely but are far less than what would be available in a data centre. These limited resources limit the capabilities for ensuring availability and security. Besides encrypting local storage and connections to more centralized systems, confidential computing offers the ability to encrypt data while it is in use by the edge computing device.

​​This protects both the data being processed and the software processing the data from being captured or manipulated. Fischer argues that “confidential computing on edge computing devices will become a foundational security technology for computing at the edge, due to the limited edge resources.”

According to the Confidential Computing Consortium’s (CCC) report by the Everest group, Confidential Computing – The Next Frontier in Data Security, “Confidential computing in a distributed edge network can also help realize new efficiencies without affecting data or IP privacy by building a secure foundation to scale analytics at the edge without compromising data security.” Additionally, confidential computing “ensures only authorized commands and code are executed by edge and IoT devices. Use of confidential computing at the IoT and edge devices and back end helps control critical infrastructure by preventing tampering with code of data being communicated across interfaces.“

Confidential computing applications at the edge range from autonomous vehicles to collecting sensitive information.

Diverse applications across industries

The diversity of these edge computing trends reflects both the diversity and scale of edge workloads. There are some common threads – multiple physical footprints, the use of cloud-native and container technologies, an increasing use of machine learning. However, telco applications often have little in common with industrial IoT use cases, which in turn differ from those in the automotive industry. But whatever industry you look at, you’ll find interesting things happening at the edge in 2022.

Yadea released its very own Christmas-themed short film via its social media channels on the day of Christmas.

In the Christmassy video, Santa can be seen around the streets and landmarks of Paris on Christmas Eve delivering gifts. Of course, for Santa, it is absolutely key not to get noticed by children, particularly in Europe where cities are trying to tackle noise pollution. Good old-fashioned reindeer just don’t cut it anymore – which is why Santa has discreetly chosen the Yadea C1S electric motorcycle his transportation of choice in the festive film, allowing him to quickly and quietly go about his business unnoticed by a single soul on the streets of the French capital on Christmas Eve.

A sporty and refined ride, Yadea’s noise-free C1S is ideal for anyone who wants to take after Santa and zip around urban settings. With a Red Dot Award-winning KISKA design and a generous 25L of storage space, Yadea C1S looks great on the roads and offers ample room for storing gifts or other cargo. And, while Santa chose the grey model to avoid detection on the streets, the electric motorcycle is also available with a coat of Beckers paint in candy cane Red, Blue, White, and Black – allowing riders to express their personality on the road.

Delivering billions of presents in a single night is daunting, which is why Santa needs the best performance and battery life possible. With a GTR 3.0 high-performance motor, the C1S packs plenty of power, while also being whisper-quiet. It features a Panasonic 18650 lithium battery with expandable dual battery support – enabling drivers to go further on a single charge. No matter the conditions, families are counting on Santa to deliver gifts on time. Again, the Yadea C1S excels: with IP57 waterproofing, a C-level brightness Yadea Gene Headlamp that shines brighter than Rudolph’s nose, and motorcycle-level hydraulic shock absorption. What’s more, the C1S is as dependable as a fleet of reindeer: with Yadea’s intelligent power management system, the battery offers nine levels of safety protection against overcurrent, overcharge, short-circuit and more.

Since its release, Yadea’s Christmas-themed film has been shared by netizens and garnered newfound attention for the C1S electric motorcycle. Additionally, Yadea also shared a series of festive posts across social media as the holidays neared, including an Instagram post-a vinyl record-player-shaped music box playing Christmas-themed music inviting followers to share their most cherished Christmas memories.

"We want to wish all members of the Yadea community a Merry Christmas, no matter where they’re celebrating around the world. We hope that Yadea can accompany you on a holiday season filled with joy and happiness as electrifying as your Christmas," said Aska Zeng, General Manager of Yadea.

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 25, 2021 — Bluetti, pioneers in off-grid power solutions, unveils its Christmas campaign to celebrate the holiday season with consumers.

With the 900W advanced MPPT solar controller, the AC200MAX can also be charged quickly up to 80% with direct sunshine in around 2 hours.

In addition, the newly released Bluetti’s ultra-portable solar generators EB55 and EB70S are available with $50 off. The former has a 700W inverter under the hood and carries a 537Wh LiFePO4 battery pack for better portability, while the latter is packed with an 800W pure sine wave AC inverter and 716Wh ultra-durable LiFePO4 battery pack.

For the best savings, Bluetti’s solar panel bundles are not to be missed as well. Combined with power stations, this helpful equipment can be a lifesaver when there are emergencies or when the grid goes down.

GOOVIS HMD Ensures Comfortable Low Blue-Light Viewing Environment and Low Visual Fatigue in the Virtual World


  • Certified GOOVIS HMD provides ‘Good Vision’ for holiday celebration

HONG KONG, Dec. 24, 2021GOOVIS, the product brand of NED Optics, a technical leading company in the XR Head-Mounted Display (HMD) field, has been praised by industry experts and consumers for producing premium HMD products with principles of quality and safety. Its products transcend typical viewing devices, which sometimes can cause fatigue and discomfort, and instead offer protective optical technology that does not detract from the high-quality visual experience. As shoppers gear up for the holiday celebrations, the GOOVIS Amazon store brings an impressive range of products suitable for numerous multimedia activities during the holiday, with special discounts offered.

"The practical application of VR/AR, or XR in general, is becoming a popular topic. For many users, the first word they relate to VR/AR is immersion. So, some devices prioritize immersion by leading people’s senses to wander around in the virtual world but fail to maintain clarity. This causes fatigue and discomfort, or even potential damage to eyes," said Dr. Huajun Peng, Founder and CEO of NED Optics. "This is one challenge GOOVIS HDM has tried to address. We aim to create the highest clarity for users when they are entering the world behind the screen. And this should be premised on comfort – dizziness-free, no eyestrain, and protecting users against the dangers of blue light damage."

GOOVIS received the world’s first SGS Metaverse series: Low Visual Fatigue certification this November. In 2020 the brand earned the TÜV Rheinland certification for providing a comfortable low blue-light viewing environment, becoming the world’s first full-mode low blue light eye protection headset which defines GOOVIS as being ahead of its competition in user safety. Prior to this, GOOVIS passed the rigorous eye health safety assessment of the National Ophthalmology Engineering Center, obtaining a four-star safety certification for all their products in 2018.

The main strengths aiding these certifications is the AMOLED micro-display eye protection screen and the company’s patented optical technologies. Compared with traditional computer and mobile phone screens, GOOVIS HMD reduces blue light damage by more than 70%. Blue light from electronics has been linked to health problems like blurry vision, eyestrain, dry eye, macular degeneration, and cataracts. Consumers have praised GOOVIS for their technological control of blue light exposure, protecting potential eye damage, and increasing user comfort.

Safety and ease are also important aspects of all GOOVIS products, and consumers regularly commend the incorporation of binocular diopter and inter-pupillary distance adjustments. Allowing users to independently adjust the HMD, this protective technology supports 300 degrees for hyperopia and 800 degrees for myopia, so users could enjoy a clear and 3D stereoscopic viewing experience without myopia glasses and with less strain on the eyes.


Consumers have praised the strong protective qualities of GOOVIS products for increasing comfort and extending viewing periods, with many users in the medical field utilizing GOOVIS for training sessions exceeding 6 hours. This long-wearing capability is further exhibited in its ability to immerse the user in the visual experience, allowing for a focused viewing session whenever and wherever.

Although visually, the device looks comparable to other HMD on the market, GOOVIS has been commended for their protective optical technology, producing premium quality viewing products that appear to be above and beyond their competition. Proving to be a trustworthy producer of high-quality products, GOOVIS is redefining a new way to experience multimedia entertainment.
