上一次我親自參加的大型科技活動是三星推出Galaxy S20系列智慧**。現在，三星將加入其他所有人在科技領域的行列，試圖捕捉這種體驗的一些表象，並在一個純粹的線上活動中大肆宣傳，即將於8月5日舉行的無包裝活動。

當然，我們期待著當天公佈的Galaxy Note 20陣容。雖然傳言最初有點含糊其辭，究竟是什麼陣容將需要，最近洩漏點注20，注20加（這將是更大的），和注20超（這將是。。。“超”，不管是什麼意思）。

除了Note20系列之外，還有很多其他三星裝置即將釋出。有5G版本的Galaxy Z Flip摺疊**，Galaxy Z Fold 2（傳言稱“Z”是三星彎曲螢幕的品牌），Galaxy Watch 3智慧手錶，還有豆形的新耳塞（是的，真的）。

如果所有這些裝置都被公佈，那麼很明顯三星希望透過這次活動引起轟動。不必說得太細，但該公司在邀請上用金屬漆潑濺的方式非常清楚地傳達了這一意圖。

按照慣例，我現在將繼續對技術邀請函中提供的影象進行全面分析。但是，雖然正常的規則要求我猜測這個影象預示著什麼產品，相反，我認為它說明了這些產品背後的心理。是光環嗎？一個被廢黜的國王下垂的王冠？我只想說這是它看起來的樣子：飛濺。這意味著：如果傳言屬實，今年夏天的開箱活動將看到三星丟擲一堆想法到水中，看看什麼漂浮。

我有種感覺，三星正在四處尋找一款halo裝置（也許還有其他類似的東西）。光環裝置需要打動每個人，吸引人們去商店，但不一定是人們購買和走出去的東西。是20號音符，Z翻頁，還是Z翻頁？我懷疑三星自己是否知道答案。

我也不是，但我悲觀的看法是“要麼失敗，要麼失敗”。讓我們回顧一下競爭者。

註釋20肯定是好的，但它會有兩個問題。首先，規格追蹤器會知道這只是一個星系S20與手寫筆。第二，三星今年的大賭注是在一個新的相機感測器上，這個感測器最好是好的，最壞是有問題的。

三星原本希望實現一個世代的飛躍，但卻失敗了，自此一直在努力恢復。據報道，Note20不會試圖重現所謂的100倍變焦，但它將繼續使用有問題的1.08億畫素感測器。儘管三星在推出Galaxy S20 Ultra後已經做了很多改進，但仍然令人擔憂。

Galaxy Z Flip確實比任何其他翻蓋摺疊**都好（主要競爭對手是新款Razr），但我對它的最大問題是它的價格太高。我不知道是誰吵著要花更多的錢。5G變體並不是三星所需要的。

銀河手錶？這將是Android**最好的智慧手錶，鑑於競爭的現狀，這意味著bupkis。至於耳塞，我只想讓三星有自信，把它們叫做“豆子”。如今，科技界過於自我嚴肅了。給我耳朵豆。

但耳朵豆也不是。剩下的是星系Z摺疊2（或者其他什麼名字）。我敢肯定三星會在那裡以5G的名義投入運營，以換取運營商的回扣）。

去年4月，我在災難性的Galaxy Fold釋出會上坐在前排——每當你的**在幾位評論員的手中自動中斷時，那就糟糕了。三星最終確實重新發布了摺疊平板電腦（價格為1980美元的天價），但如果三星決定在一兩年內收回整個摺疊平板電腦，你不會責怪它。

不。如果傳聞是真的，第二次世界大戰就要來了。這就是信心。關於它將是或不會是什麼的傳聞比我在現階段通常預期的三星**要少一些——更大的外螢幕，沒有手寫筆，5G。我還假設它會有Z-Flip的超薄玻璃螢幕。故事還有很多，但這款**比其他任何東西都更有可能成為光環裝置。

為什麼三星需要光環裝置？因為中國的****商正在緊跟其後爭奪市場份額（如果不是在很多地區完全獲勝的話），而三星則把自己的聲譽押在了創新上。你可以找到一款擁有三星旗艦**90%的**，而花費卻少了數百美元——所以三星真的需要用另外10%讓你驚歎。

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.

評論和操作方法

┏現在購買最好的無線耳塞。我支援克里斯·韋爾奇的觀點。在過去的一個月裡，我在5款不同的藍芽耳機（AirPods Pro、Pixel Buds、Sony 1000XM3、OnePlus neckbuds和Galaxy Buds）之間來回切換，Galaxy Buds是我現在使用最多的耳機，尤其是我在Mac、iPhone和Android**上使用它們。我要消音嗎？當然，但現在我不坐火車上下班了，這對我來說沒那麼重要了。我也希望這些耳機能夠在不同的裝置之間更無縫地切換，但至少它們比索尼好（幾乎每個人在這方面都比索尼好）。

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.

┏行動式顯示器可以讓您在餐廳的餐桌上更輕鬆地工作。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.

┏LG Gram 17評論：比看上去更輕。莫妮卡·琴：

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.

┏ 運動泡泡是研究COVID-19的好地方。妮可·韋茨曼：

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.”

┏微軟宣佈推出新的Windows 10“開始”選單設計和更新的Alt Tab。湯姆·沃倫：

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.

Inside the company, though, a few dozen developers were building what they describe as one of Magic Leap’s most exciting projects.
