上一次我亲自参加的大型科技活动是三星推出Galaxy S20系列智能**。现在，三星将加入其他所有人在科技领域的行列，试图捕捉这种体验的一些表象，并在一个纯粹的在线活动中大肆宣传，即将于8月5日举行的无包装活动。

当然，我们期待着当天公布的Galaxy Note 20阵容。虽然传言最初有点含糊其辞，究竟是什么阵容将需要，最近泄漏点注20，注20加（这将是更大的），和注20超（这将是。。。“超”，不管是什么意思）。

除了Note20系列之外，还有很多其他三星设备即将发布。有5G版本的Galaxy Z Flip折叠**，Galaxy Z Fold 2（传言称“Z”是三星弯曲屏幕的品牌），Galaxy Watch 3智能手表，还有豆形的新耳塞（是的，真的）。

如果所有这些设备都被公布，那么很明显三星希望通过这次活动引起轰动。不必说得太细，但该公司在邀请上用金属漆泼溅的方式非常清楚地传达了这一意图。

按照惯例，我现在将继续对技术邀请函中提供的图像进行全面分析。但是，虽然正常的规则要求我猜测这个图像预示着什么产品，相反，我认为它说明了这些产品背后的心理。是光环吗？一个被废黜的国王下垂的王冠？我只想说这是它看起来的样子：飞溅。这意味着：如果传言属实，今年夏天的开箱活动将看到三星抛出一堆想法到水中，看看什么漂浮。

我有种感觉，三星正在四处寻找一款halo设备（也许还有其他类似的东西）。光环设备需要打动每个人，吸引人们去商店，但不一定是人们购买和走出去的东西。是20号音符，Z翻页，还是Z翻页？我怀疑三星自己是否知道答案。

我也不是，但我悲观的看法是“要么失败，要么失败”。让我们回顾一下竞争者。

注释20肯定是好的，但它会有两个问题。首先，规格追踪器会知道这只是一个星系S20与手写笔。第二，三星今年的大赌注是在一个新的相机传感器上，这个传感器最好是好的，最坏是有问题的。

三星原本希望实现一个世代的飞跃，但却失败了，自此一直在努力恢复。据报道，Note20不会试图重现所谓的100倍变焦，但它将继续使用有问题的1.08亿像素传感器。尽管三星在推出Galaxy S20 Ultra后已经做了很多改进，但仍然令人担忧。

Galaxy Z Flip确实比任何其他翻盖折叠**都好（主要竞争对手是新款Razr），但我对它的最大问题是它的价格太高。我不知道是谁吵着要花更多的钱。5G变体并不是三星所需要的。

银河手表？这将是Android**最好的智能手表，鉴于竞争的现状，这意味着bupkis。至于耳塞，我只想让三星有自信，把它们叫做“豆子”。如今，科技界过于自我严肃了。给我耳朵豆。

但耳朵豆也不是。剩下的是星系Z折叠2（或者其他什么名字）。我敢肯定三星会在那里以5G的名义投入运营，以换取运营商的回扣）。

去年4月，我在灾难性的Galaxy Fold发布会上坐在前排——每当你的**在几位评论员的手中自动中断时，那就糟糕了。三星最终确实重新发布了折叠平板电脑（价格为1980美元的天价），但如果三星决定在一两年内收回整个折叠平板电脑，你不会责怪它。

不。如果传闻是真的，第二次世界大战就要来了。这就是信心。关于它将是或不会是什么的传闻比我在现阶段通常预期的三星**要少一些——更大的外屏幕，没有手写笔，5G。我还假设它会有Z-Flip的超薄玻璃屏幕。故事还有很多，但这款**比其他任何东西都更有可能成为光环设备。

为什么三星需要光环设备？因为中国的****商正在紧跟其后争夺市场份额（如果不是在很多地区完全获胜的话），而三星则把自己的声誉押在了创新上。你可以找到一款拥有三星旗舰**90%的**，而花费却少了数百美元——所以三星真的需要用另外10%让你惊叹。

Verge Deal of the day

Apple’s AirPods Pro are $30 off at Amazon

Normally $250, the Apple AirPods Pro wireless earbuds are down to $220 at Amazon. Compared to the standard AirPods, these feature better sound quality and noise cancellation. We’ve seen these drop a bit lower in price before, but that’s a pretty rare occurrence.

评论和操作方法

┏现在购买最好的无线耳塞。我支持克里斯·韦尔奇的观点。在过去的一个月里，我在5款不同的蓝牙耳机（AirPods Pro、Pixel Buds、Sony 1000XM3、OnePlus neckbuds和Galaxy Buds）之间来回切换，Galaxy Buds是我现在使用最多的耳机，尤其是我在Mac、iPhone和Android**上使用它们。我要消音吗？当然，但现在我不坐火车上下班了，这对我来说没那么重要了。我也希望这些耳机能够在不同的设备之间更无缝地切换，但至少它们比索尼好（几乎每个人在这方面都比索尼好）。

There’s no one set of earbuds that is perfect at everything. For general everyday listening, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus are the best wireless earbuds. Got an iPhone? Nothing beats the AirPods Pro.

┏便携式显示器可以让您在餐厅的餐桌上更轻松地工作。丹·塞弗特：

Right now, the Ananta is available through a Kickstarter campaign, with deliveries promised for September of this year. As of this writing, the lowest price you can get the display for is $359, and it is expected to retail for a rather steep $599 when it hits general availability. If you go for the Kickstarter deal, the price is reasonable for how large, versatile, and well the Ananta works. But at full price, it may cost nearly as much as the laptop you’re plugging it into, at which point you have to wonder if it’s worth it.

It’s very unusual to see a 17-inch laptop under four pounds — let alone under three. Couple that with a $1,499 starting price (our model currently goes for $1,699), and you’re looking at a pretty niche target demographic. For that niche, though, this laptop tracks.

If the virus starts to spread within the isolation zones, though, it should be relatively easy to trace the path it traveled. In the outside world, it’s hard for people to remember where they go and who they interact with, says Angela Ra**ussen, a research scientist at the Center for Infection and Immunity at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. If you’re on a tight schedule and living in a central location, like athletes in these environments are, that information is easy to access. “You can work out, not only the number of contacts you’ve had, but the types of interacti*** you have with those people.”

It’s an approach called “one health.”

┏微软宣布推出新的Windows 10“开始”菜单设计和更新的Alt Tab。汤姆·沃伦：

Essentially, the reduction in the color of the blocky tiled interface on the Start menu will simplify it slightly and make it easier to scan for the apps you use on a daily basis. It’s a subtle change, but it certainly makes the Start menu look a little less chaotic and avoids many tiles sharing a similar blue color.
