Another look at the LG G7. The G7 has a hotkey on the left for Google Assistant, similar to Samsung's button for its Bixby assistant on Galaxy phones. The G7 is the first phone to have its own button for Assistant and it's not customizable. Just like the Pixel 2 phones when you squeeze their sides, only Assistant launches. You can't make it open something else. The LG G7 is also waterproof. It's rated IP68, meaning you can dunk it in about 3 feet (1 meter) of water for 30 minutes and it'll survive.

Google Assistant on the LG G7, left, and Bixby on the Galaxy S9 Plus, right, Because pressing LG's hotkey is designed to get Google Assistant working even faster, (Plus, you can avoid saying "OK, Google.") It also processes commands specific to the LG G7's camera, like "open the camera in portrait mode."However, LG has mimicked Samsung's aggressive decision to keep defender series modular case for apple iphone x and xs - blue/beige you from reprogramming the LG G7's hotkey to open the app of your choice, Both hotkey helpers can also handle basic settings, like turning on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi..

So how else do they stack up? While we haven't gotten a chance to thoroughly compare the two hotkeys, there are some important differences between the LG Google Assistant and Samsung Bixby buttons. Samsung is throwing its weight behind Bixby, the AI software it wants to ultimately put on all its devices, especially home appliances. So it makes sense for Samsung to strong-arm you into using Bixby alone, even if it feels unnecessarily heavy-handed. LG has essentially made Google Assistant+ by adding commands that only apply to the LG G7, specifically to its camera. For example, you can tell it to take a wide-angle selfie, open manual mode on the camera, take a photo in portrait mode, and so on. It won't actually let you program your own controls.

Be advised that telling Google Assistant to take a photo will give you a 3-second countdown, which doesn't leave you much time to frame your shot, Telling it to open the camera instead will let you decide when to take your photo, Like Bixby, you can press the hotkey to launch the software helper, even with the phone screen locked (this is a setting), The Google hotkey on the G7 is in the same place as the Bixby button on Galaxy phones, below the volume buttons, On Samsung phones like the Galaxy S9, the list of Bixby commands you can defender series modular case for apple iphone x and xs - blue/beige say to control your phone is staggering, You can also nest commands, such as: "Turn on Wi-Fi and search for brownie recipes."The Google Home speaker is capable of these nested commands, but I only got one command to work at a time when I tested it briefly on a preproduction LG G7..

Bixby doesn't always complete each task fully either, but it'll get you part-way there. For example, it may turn on Wi-Fi, but fail to open the specific website you want. Instead, it'll open the browser so you can complete the task yourself. Once we compare the LG G7 Google Assistant hotkey and Samsung Bixby Voice tool side-by-side, we'll have a better idea of which hardware button is more accurate, fast and useful in real-world situations. For now, we wait. Are we witnessing the rise of the hotkey?.

Samsung last year debuted a button on its Galaxy S8 phones that triggers the company's house-made Bixby Voice assistant. Bixby took months to roll out, defender series modular case for apple iphone x and xs - blue/beige but has since become a constant feature on high-end Galaxy phones, Now, LG has done the same, adding a hotkey on the LG G7 ThinQ that opens Google Assistant after you speak a command, Google Assistant is already integrated into the Android phone's home button, You can also launch it by saying, "OK, Google." So why would LG want a third way of calling up Google Assistant, if not to simply and blatantly copy Samsung?..

Facebook's Oculus Core Tech team unveils a prototype VR headset at F8. Facebook's Maria Fernandez Guajardo, who is head of Core Tech product managment at Oculus, introduced Half Dome, which looks a little like an Oculus Rift with miniaturized Frankenstein's monster bolts all over it, and other VR advancements in a presentation at F8, Facebook's developer conference and opportunity to announce major initiatives. The mechanical moving display inside the new Oculus VR prototype actually moves closer and further away.

Oculus already has plans for a VR headset successor to the Oculus Go: It's called Project Santa Cruz, and it's a defender series modular case for apple iphone x and xs - blue/beige mobile standalone headset with full-room tracking and dual controllers that feel like the PC-based Oculus Touch, CNET has tried Santa Cruz, and its motion controls work really well, Santa Cruz is already in developer hands, with Oculus promising more news "by end of year."But Half Dome, which we haven't tried, is a whole step beyond that, tackling some other specific issues in display tech: field of view and depth of focus, Oculus has a three-part goal to make VR displays higher resolution, have a better field of view and focus on objects like our eyes do in real life, The higher-res display part is something Oculus thinks will happen as displays improve, but the field of view and depth of field needed new hardware ideas..
