Samsung’s next S Pen might have a built-in camera

It’s a spy pen!

With technology today, the spy thriller has gone out of business. The world’s greatest minds can now develop snazzy gadgets faster than you can say “Idris Elba should be the next James Bond.” If you know where to look, James Bond’s gadgets are just a click away. With time, these once-fictional devices will inevitably pervade mainstream technology. Just look at the self-driving car.

Soon, the pen camera will join that list. Samsung filed a patent for an S Pen with a built-in camera.

According to the patent, Samsung’s pen camera will have optical zoom, an image sensor, separate battery, and control mechanism. On paper, the S Pen will have the necessary components for a pen camera. The S Pen itself can take photos and can communicate wirelessly with the smartphone. The pieces are set for a pen camera.

Of course, Samsung can use this technology for other purposes, including facial recognition. Likewise, we’re not sure which device will flaunt the pen camera. Currently, Samsung bundles the S Pen with the Galaxy Note series. However, Samsung can easily change their usual plans in the future, including bundles with a laptop or even the Galaxy S series. At this point, it’s too early to tell.

Samsung might even decide against the idea in the future. For now, a patent only indicates the company’s possible plans, rather than actual blueprints for the future. Regardless, a pen camera is not an impossible feat. A more discreet market already offers functional devices to willing purchasers. If anything, a Samsung variant can possibly break the film piracy market. Likewise, such a device can wreak havoc in despicable hands.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
