Rogers

It was another busy week in Canadian telecom, thanks to several plan changes at various providers. Along with plan changes, we saw new products announced from Rogers and Eastlink, plus MobileSyrup helped an Ontario resident resolve a months-long internet problem with his provider.

Pricing and deals

Virgin Plus and Koodo both joined Fido in increasing the price of their $34/20GB plan to $39/mo.

Notably, Telus-owned Public Mobile brought back its $29/mo 20GB 4G plan shortly after other providers increased their prices to $39/mo.

Bell’s Lucky Mobile ditched 3G plans. Public Mobile followed suit later in the week.

Virgin Plus added a $5/mo credit for 24 months to its $65/75GB 5G plan.

New products

Eastlink launched its take on a device return program dubbed ‘easyTab Flex.’

Rogers announced plans to bring Comcast and Xfinity products to Canada.

Regulatory

Quebecor said a recent CRTC decision would force it to scale back plans to launch “data-rich” plans in Manitoba.

Internet

An Ontario resident was stuck with a poorly installed temporary internet line for nine months. When a permanent line was finally put in, Rogers’ technicians failed to connect it, leaving him without internet for days.

Samsung develops solar watch straps, Galaxy Watch will have longer battery life

在今年早些時候,Samsung 就推出了一款 QLED 智能電視遙控器,而這款遙控器比較特殊,能夠利用室內光線、室外光線或 USB 進行充電。而該裝置所採用的太陽能技術也引發了不少消費者的關注,早前就有博主討論過這種太陽能技術是否適用於其他低功耗裝置上。而在近日,Samsung 給出了答案。據外媒 LetsGoDigital 報導顯示,美國專利和商標局(USPTO)9 月 16 日公佈了一項 Samsung 早在 2019年提交的專利申請。該專利的名稱為「由多種類型的太陽能電池組成的電子裝置」,共22頁。專利中描述了一款帶有太陽能錶帶的 Samsung Galaxy Watch ,兩個太陽能電池放置在錶帶中,在手錶外殼的兩側。並且在 LetsGoDigital 製作的產品渲染圖中可以看到,太陽能電池的位置有一個蜂窩狀結構,但在現實產品上你是看不到它的。值得一提的是,該專利並沒有詳細說明該系統的效率如何,但據猜測,Samsung 的想法是通過在錶殼兩側放置太陽能電池,無論如何佩戴手錶,都能收集到足夠的陽光。 Samsung 希望使用了一種帶有量子點的聚合物來改變光路,並使用幾種可以進行光電轉換的太陽能電池。太陽能電池捕捉通過聚合物的光線,之後將光線轉化為電能。即使它們的功率不足以為其完全供電,但也能起到提供輔助電源的作用。雖然 Samsung 並沒有說明該專利一定會成真,但 Samsung 在太陽能技術領域以及量子點的應用方面已經有充分的經驗,或許在不久的將來,一款能使用太陽能供電的 Galaxy 智能手錶將出現在我們的面前。
