According to the recent news that after the months of ongoing and increasingly tense between the merger negotiations between the two printing companies. The Xerox announced on Monday that it would launch another offer to buy HP, this time increasing its offer price to $24 per share or around $34 billion in total.

The new offer, which Xerox indicated would launch around March 2, 2020, would amount to $34 billion, consisting of $18.40 in cash and 0.149 shares of Xerox for each HP share. Originally, Xerox had made an unsolicited offer of cash and shares of $22 per share, or $33.5 billion, to acquire HP last November. But HP’s board of directors unanimously rejected the proposal several times, arguing that the offer undervalued HP and was not the best for shareholders.

Furthermore, Xerox responded by directly addressing HP shareholders in recent months to persuade them of the “tremendous value” and “synergies” that could be created from a merger between the two printing companies.

While there were initial doubts about whether Xerox could raise the cash needed to complete the agreement, Xerox last month obtained $24 billion in financing from large banks to pursue its acquisition, although HP rejected the talks again.

In his announcement on Monday, Xerox said he had met, “in some cases several times,” with many of HP’s largest shareholders, who “constantly claim that they want better returns, better growth prospects and the best human capital of his class”. that will result from a combination of Xerox and HP. “

“The public offer announced today will allow these [HP] shareholders to accept Xerox’s compelling offer despite HP’s constant refusal to seize the opportunity,” Xerox said in his announcement.

If you are a fan of Motorola Razr phones as they were very popular a few years back. Now they have gained back their popularity. And recently Motorola Razr launched a flip phone. Here’s our review for all our valuable readers.

Unlike the original lovable and seemingly indestructible plastic version from 2004, this new Razr is dense. It’s made from glass, stainless steel, and plastic and weighs nearly the same as the 6.55-inch OnePlus 7 Pro. The action feels tighter than the OG Razr, but you can still slam it shut after a phone call.

While the Motorola Razr is one of the few foldable phones you can buy, which include the Samsung Galaxy Fold, Royole FlexPai, and Huawei Mate X. But it is the first to unite a modern Android phone and the familiar design of the past. Before the current dynasty of glass plate smartphones, Motorola defined what a mobile phone was. And this new Razr could help redefine how we use our phones.

With $ 1,499, it doesn’t have the fastest processor, the biggest battery or the best cameras. If this phone didn’t fold in half, it would be a solid and medium Android phone. But the Razr has something that most phones lack: personality. And as Jules says in Pulp Fiction, “Personality goes a long way.” The Razr feels more personal than any phone you have used.

Every time it opens or closes, we see its value increase. That said, most people should not buy the Razr, including us. The real test of its design will take place in the coming months in the pockets of those who buy it. This does not mean that Motorola is on the wrong track: the Razr is a huge achievement that sets the stage for a second improved version.

What we find the best in Motorola?

Motorola designed a special hinge that allows the screen to remain curved when closed and, therefore, prevents a permanent fold. This is complicated. Motorola released a video on how to care for the Razr that says “the screen is bent; bumps and bumps are normal.” I have not found lumps or lumps on the screen, but the packages and packages are not normal. If you have a lump or lump in your body, you should see a doctor.

The 2.7-inch screen is located under a piece of Gorilla Glass 3. When it is not covered with fingerprint spots, it looks absolutely premium. It works in two ways. When the phone is locked, it becomes a Peek screen and allows you to view notifications. When you unlock the screen, you get additional access to a mini control panel (brightness, flashlight, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and selfies) and you can interact with notifications. Press and hold an icon to quickly view messages and notifications. It is wonderfully discreet.

What we like

• Impressively small.
• Groundbreaking design and layout.
• Peek Screen/Quick View display.
• Flipping it open and closed.

What we Don’t Like

• $1,499 price
• Midtier specs
• Concerns over durability

In the race of 5g and 6g which one is better and more advanced? Wireless manufacturing has transformed the way we work and play, so it’s no wonder why 5G has caught everyone’s attention.

Already in some cities, and soon worldwide, fiber optic transmission speeds will invisibly reach all our pockets, bringing television, 3D images and new applications that we never dream of on our mobile devices.

What is 6G? No one knows yet, and international standards bodies, formed by hundreds of companies worldwide, will discover it in the next decade. But work at the University of New York shows that by 2035, 6G will mark the beginning of the ability to send wireless signals at the speed of human computing.

Nicknamed “wireless cognition” by researchers, 6G could mean that human intelligence could eventually be sent to the air instantly. Remote control robots and artificial intelligence applications with capabilities similar to those of humans could be enabled on 6G cell phones.

By using electromagnetic frequencies greater than 95 Gigahertz, future cell phones will be able to use massive channel bandwidths and highly directional antennas that allow excellent coverage and allow new applications. These frequencies, which are 20 times higher than the current frequencies of 4G cell phones, and three or four times higher than the new 5G frequencies, were marketed by the Federal Communications Commission last year.

Furthermore, accurate positioning and direction search along with superior detection and images, just as humans use their eyes to see things clearly both near and far, will be possible with 6G.

While 6g is already in the headlines in the technology world. But for now, 5G is starting to get interesting, and with at least ten years before the first track of a 6G network appears, let’s enjoy the exciting technology that 5G will bring us before. Don’t worry, we will also keep up with 6G to make sure we are fully prepared by 2030 and beyond.

One of the leading important name in technology and smartphone companies. Samsung played a teaser of not yet announced smartphone Galaxy Z Flip during Oscar’s commercial break.

It is not just the leaks that allow us to know what the big technology companies plan to announce in their speeches, more and more are the companies themselves. Since this year’s Academy Awards are ahead of the inaugural speech unpack on Samsung’s February 11. The company decided to try the Galaxy Z Flip, which basically showed the entire phone.

We expect Samsung to announce new Galaxy S20 phones (three of them) and the Galaxy Z Flip, a rumored folding phone has a glass screen. The ad showed the phone sitting at a table at a 90-degree angle alone, better for video chat. He also gave us our first and best-folded look and doesn’t seem to bend completely.

The Motorola Razr, which has just been release but has already been plagued with reports of squeaky hinges, folds completely. Furthermore, In the fine print for the ad, there is a copy that says “You may notice a small crease in the center of the main screen, which is a natural feature of the screen.” That answers that question. As with the Fold, the Z Flip will have a crease. The ad also shows two different colors: purple and black.

We also had our first look at the exterior screen, which is very small but full color. The announcement shows that the screen can make caller ID and also has sliders to accept or reject a call.

Samsung has always grown great with the ads at the Academy Awards. His previous Oscar announcements have varied from product placement celebrity selfies to subtle apologies for his explosive Note phones. However, there are still leaks: Samsung itself leaked the Galaxy S20 last week.

We will be updating after the Samsung event on February 11 to find out if there is something that has not been leaked, photographed, rumored or mocked by Samsung itself. It is still possible that there is. Tell us what you think of this smartphone? What are your expectations in the comment sections?

Attention all game lovers!! The ultimate Ubisoft will launch five new amazing AAA games in 2020-2021. All three of them will be released later this year and two will be launched in early 2021.

And none of them will be Beyond Good and Evil 2. But wait there are not what you want.

According to the recent statements which are as follows, “We have evolved our organizational structure in recent months to strengthen our focus on high-potential titles, and we are very excited about the idea of ​​launching five new AAA games in 2020-21,” said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot during the third trimester. Call of investor for the fiscal year 2020.

In addition, they also said during the question and answer section, Guillemot followed that statement by confirming, at least, that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is not one of the five AAA games planned to be released this year.

Ubisoft previously announced, then delayed a list of AAA games that include Watch Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six: Quarantine, Gods and Monsters, and there have been reports that Ubisoft is working on a new Assassin’s Creed game allegedly based on Vikings. There are four games that could fit perfectly into Ubisoft’s AAA plans for the year. And there are also projects like Skull and Bones that have been delayed indefinitely and could complete the launch schedule.

As for when players will see any combination of these games, Guillemot revealed that three of the five games will be released in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2011, or the period between October and December 2020, and the other two games will be released. between January and March 2021.

While, what’s also very thought-provoking about the statement, and rumors, is that the games that were not mentioned. There was no reference to Skull & Bones or Beyond Good And Evil 2, which suggests that the latter in particular is still years away from completion. We hope that this won’t disappoint the fans.

Sadly, the coronavirus is spending rapidly in Wuhan China while reportedly so many people have lost their lives. Due to this China and other big tech companies are suffering badly.  

The technology sector is currently feeling the impact of the coronavirus, with companies that close offices, stores, and factories in China, in addition to restricting employees from non-essential trips to the country. The closures, which were initially expected to last during the Lunar New Year holiday week. At the end of January, it has now extended until February 10, although it is still unclear whether most companies will work again on Monday.

A multitude of short and long-term effects are anticipated, from postponed events to companies that potentially lose a holiday launch target due to the closure of offices across the country. Here is a look at how coronavirus has already affected the industry.

Earlier this month, leading technology companies announced that they would temporarily close all corporate offices, factories and retail stores in China. These companies include Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Tesla, and Google. (Google has also closed offices near Hong Kong and Taiwan). Most closures were expected to last until Sunday, February 9, although some companies did not specify when exactly the offices would reopen.

Apple’s chief of staff, Deirdre O’Brien, wrote in an internal email that offices and contact centers are expected to open “next week,” while the reopening of retail stores is still being determined. “Additional cleaning, health protocols and local restrictions around public spaces will influence this decision,” he wrote. But it seems that “next week” could mean until February 15 for many stores, according to Bloomberg.

Amazon has not yet announced the closure of offices in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Guangzhou (it does not have an office in Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have originated), but requires employees to obtain approval for any essential trip to China. Employees traveling inside and outside of China are also advised to work from home for a period of 14 days before returning to the office.

While Facebook does not have offices in China, it also warned employees against non-essential trips to the country. LG and Razer have also advised similarly. If travelers can even reach China, this is another matter, since more than 50 airlines around the world have suspended flights in and out of the country.

As many products are manufactured in China (or use parts from Chinese suppliers), experts also warn customers to expect shortages of several smartphones, VR headsets, cars, and other technological accessories. Foxconn and Pegatron closures in China, for example, are expected to potentially delay the production of iPhones and AirPods since factory workers cannot resume work. We hope that this situation gets better soon.
