This story is sponsored by Viaim. PhoneArena's opinions in this article have not been affected in any way! We work in a remote and hybrid work world. Most of the days, our teams are scattered — some are at the office, some are working from home, some are in their favorite cafe, clicking and clacking away at their laptop.It's great, sure, but the modern work environment does present a lot of challenges, which require the team to stay on track, which in turn requires effective communication and regular meetings, no matter whether you are at the office or not.It's always a good rule of thumb to keep a cohesive summary of what was discussed, and to have a checklist to follow if every task that was decided upon has been completed. But that alone can become too much work on its own.Thankfully, we can leverage modern tech to do the boring work for us and focus on conquering those mountains!
The Viaim RecDot earbuds have been designed and built from the ground up as meeting- and call-recording earbuds. What sets them apart is that you can use them to record a hybrid meeting — with both in-person and online participants. The RecDot will record the system output from popular apps like Zoom, Meet, Teams, but also use their quad microphones with beamforming to capture the voices of the people around you.You don't even need to wear the buds — you can use them as your portable mic system. Just place them in their charging case and keep the lid open. They will connect to your phone via Bluetooth and provide recording, speaker identification, translation, and transcripts as well.
To facilitate ease of use, the RecDots have an easy way to begin recording. When they are used as a desktop recorder — just press the red dot button on the charging case. When they are worn (it is recommended you keep the right earbud on for better participant identification), you can press and hold on the earbud stem to begin recording.Inside the Viaim app, you will get automatic transcription and live translation. The app is capable of generating full meeting transcripts and to-do lists when the meeting is over.Yes, apps and programs that have been designed for meetings already have similar features. However, the RecDot ensures that you will be able to record both in-call and in-room sound, which is a godsend in today's hybrid meeting world. The app is also multi-platform, so you can sync your meeting notes to Android, iOS, Mac, and PC!
Viaim has launched its official Amazon store and to celebrate its presence on the massive retailer, you can now grab the RecDot at a $35 off with a coupon. Limited time offer, so check them out now!The next item we are about to present to you is also available with a $20 off coupon!

The Viaim NoteKit is an AI-powered smart note-taking assistant designed to revolutionize how you record, transcribe, and recall meeting content. On the surface, it looks kind of like a premium USB stick. Underneath — it's much more.The NoteKit is a compact voice recorder that connects directly to your computer and can record both online meeting audio (e.g., Zoom, Teams) and in-room conversations through its powerful 5-meter-range dual-microphone.This allows for real-time transcription, multi-language translation, and the instant generation of summaries and to-do lists.
Also, since NoteKit is available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and iPadOS, you can rest assured that your meeting notes and to-dos will be synced with you wherever you go!It's an all-in-one solution for the professionals who spend a lot of time in a lot of different meetings and need a hand to keep things organized — instead of wasting half their work day trying to organize next week's schedule on their own.
This is not an either-or situation. The Viaim RecDot can be paired directly with the NoteKit so you can get even more of the devices as a package.While the NoteKit can be your base station recorder, plugged to your computer to record both online and offline, adding the RecDot can help in multiple ways. You can use the earbuds to extend the range of the in-room mics (for large room meetings)
More microphones added will work together for a clearer recording and better multi-speaker identification
RecDot can be worn by a presenter who moves around a lot to record their voice, while NoteKit is there for the rest of the meeting participants
Redundancy - more microphones recording means less chance of something being muffled, missed, lost, and forgotten

IceUniverse: Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge to pack a 4,400 mAh battery Comments

B DarlingYext, 49 minutes ago I work in a mobile phone store, people come here with complaints about phones every day. Those... more i work on mobile repair (until i finish my Engineering degree) as well, and a big reason i daily a Galaxy is the good, at least on S-Series, price of original parts, how easy and quick it is to obtain them, and how straightforward they are to service when it comes to software! That, and OneUI, although the latter is personal preference. DarlingYext, 5 hours ago What did Ice use to measure that battery? Whatever, it doesn't really mattery, that si... more This story now specifies a battery size In short Battery increase yes thinner NO Below is my post then to the the post Darling Yext has again repeat (No URL for the site he gets his misinformation from) Confirmed: The Galaxy S26 Edge will be thinner than the S25 Edge and have a larger battery thanks to new battery material technology. This is a rumour neither initiated by nor confirmed by Samsung, Samsung is NOT the party responsible, Ice Universe is. Your criticism of Samsung shows you don't understand the vectors at play. Multiple reasons to dismiss it out but don't let this clickbait campaign prevent Darling Yext from ignoring facts which will be another 10 months until the S26 Edge is released. #1) Let's not forget his prediction that this S25 Edge would be the S25 Ultra specs inside a thinner S25+ frame #2) There was a desire to get a thinner that desire had NOW been met #3 A now thinner phone than the S25 Edge (no longer 3900mAh Lithum ion) has a bigger battery #4 thinner phones have a limit so in 2027 the S27 Edge will have to INCREASE back to the (not going to happen) S26 Edge reduced size #6) UW camera cannot be improved upon the same reason #3& #4 battery Perhaps the SINGLE CRITICAL RESTRICTION is overheating. The S25 Edge uses Qualcomm's flagship SoC the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. "The sustained performance isn't great, as one would expect from a thin chassis like this one. The Snapdragon 8 Elite's CPU started throttling within the first 5 minutes of the CPU test, while the GPU stability score is below 50%. You can expect considerable thermal throttling during long gaming sessions." It CANNOT get thinner as that would mean an ever smaller vapour chamber AFTER presumably upgraded to the latest Qualcomm flagship SoC The S26 Edge cannot and will not get thinner and at the same time improve specs. Phone sizes have increased to where they are now The S25 Edge was preliminary named the SLIM my post found here, using maths disproved the claim then & misinformation text by this "commentator' 99% of phones achieve a 50% charge in 30 minutes FROM FLAT. Darling Yext seems to have struggled with all aspects of charging phones. That appears to have been resolved when he via "Trial & error?" began using phones above 25W. It is laughable that he now attempts to lecture us on Faster Charging when it is a problem he alone experienced. Spoiler Alert We can read % during charging and use (discharging). If we fully discharge our phone and do not notice Charging at home will be the principal charging place & many people just carry a charging cable ( if e.g not in their car already) there are multiple places/ports outside home, and those who can't adapt so a wild guess battery pack? I thank Darling Yext for not including Fast Charging protocols so as not to be too technical and overcomplicate matters, especially as the S25 is a 25W phone, so everyone will be unaware of the complexity that 45W brings. If and when Samsung will provide instructions. #2 There was a desire to get a thinner that desire had NOW been met. Thinner means bigger vapour chamber Not Again, 56 minutes ago Samsung's customer service is absolute rubbish in the EU.

As for iPhones, they are pretty easy (but expensive) to repair at one of their official repair shops, so no issues with that. Xiaomi devices aren't that lucky, but some non-official stores can and will repair them as well, for not that much money. However Samsung denies warranty claims way too often according to customers I've talked to, thus their customers service is absolutely awful. Sailory, 1 hour ago Look, you can write anything you want with chatGPT, I owned a lot of phones and I also had the... more "Every SiC battery in any modern phone is rated at 1000-1200 charging cycles until it gets to 80% capacity. Samsung's batteries for years are rated at 2000 cycles" That's cool, until you realise that 75% battery health on a 6000mAh battery means 4500mAh, which is still more than 100% on a phone with a 4400mAh battery. Oh, well. N DarlingYext, 2 hours ago Samsung's customer service is absolute rubbish in the EU. Especially if you have a foldab... more Samsung's customer service is absolute rubbish in the EU. Especially if you have a foldable device, any tiny scratch anywhere on that thing and your warranty is void. You famously admit you don't and haven't owned any Samsung products for years Yext somehow you know nothing enough to post the nonsense now on a phone just two months old You haven't seen the phone, nobody in your circle owns a Samsung so can't cite one incidence. You post more unreliable comments than all of the collective rumours on X that are published here ? Am i just stupid because i do not understand with some oems making regular slab phones to be very thin instead of having bigger battery? Does people really want to buy these? Then oems will sell external magnetic Qi2 portable power banks which makes that super thin phone even thicker than regular slab phone. Of course with folding phones(especially tri folding phones) people want thinner more like 8-10mm but with slab phones? I do not see the appeal honestly. k Sailory, 1 hour ago Look, you can write anything you want with chatGPT, I owned a lot of phones and I also had the... more No, you didn't guess with your assumption about ChatGtp. I've banned all sorts of AI nonsense like Gemini, etc... I don't need them, I went to school and paid attention in class. Another one who fell for the marketing trick of 2000 cycles... It would be good if the battery was 6000-7000mA, not 4400-5000. Because these 2000 cycles don't give you anything more with a small battery that you will charge more often, which will degrade it faster, which will lead to even more frequent charging and even faster degradation. These 2000 cycles do not mean 2000 days of life, as you might think. I'll teach you something else. The mA on the batteries that the manufacturer gives you does not mean that you will have 5000mA for 2000 charging cycles. They mean that the manufacturer guarantees that for these 2000 cycles your battery will have a capacity of AT LEAST 80 percent of the one originally given to you. It doesn't matter if on the third, thirtieth or 1300 cycles your battery is no longer 100 percent healthy. As long as it is at least 80 percent everything is OK. So after 1000 cycles on a 6500mA battery and charging every day and a half, which will be equal to 1500 days of life, I will still have at least 5200mA battery. Which will still be more than your initial 5000 after 1500 charges once a day and even if it has degraded only to 90 percent it will be 4500mA. I have a 1+10 Pro with a fast 80 watt charger and I charge it to 100 percent every time, once a day, and after 4 and a half years I still have the original battery and it still lasts me 1 day. So what? I'm from Bulgaria, it's not colder than Germany. So what? Even my first Xiaomi Mi 3 from 2013 still has the original battery and some life left in it. S kdss, 2 hours ago You would be right about fast charging, if you weren't completely wrong. The fact that yo... more Look, you can write anything you want with chatGPT, I owned a lot of phones and I also had the OnePlus 12. You can convince yourself however you want that fast charging is better, but the device overheats like crazy. Maybe if you live in Norway where it's not that warm it's going to stay cooler, in Germany where I live it got really hot every time, so much so that I developed a habit of charging it face down to allow the heat to dissipate faster. There are studies on batteries where it's proven that heat degrades the battery faster and it did on my OP 12 and my older Huawei phones. Maybe the new technology will be better, it's yet to be proven for me. I gave my Galaxy s23 Ultra to my dad and that 2 year old device still lasts more than any device I have ever had. Also you say 80% capacity on 6000mAh is better than 80% on 4400. That's theoretically true but how many charging cycles is the battery rated for? I'll tell you. Every SiC battery in any modern phone is rated at 1000-1200 charging cycles until it gets to 80% capacity. Samsung's batteries for years are rated at 2000 cycles. And I witnessed it first hand on the s23 Ultra and I absolutely used that thing havily for almost 2 years, no overheating while charging, charges from 15% to 90% in around 50 min which is plenty fast, that's why I chose not to sell it. But sure, you can believe what chatGPT or some online article says without knowing yourself first hand k DarlingYext, 2 hours ago Samsung's customer service is absolute rubbish in the EU. Especially if you have a foldab... more My colleague waited about 40 days to have his Fold4 screen replaced. He was denied the warranty by the official service center, "mechanical damage". He paid, what could he do? He was either screwing up with the money for the display or had to forget about the money for the entire phone, and it was only 3 months old. k Sailory, 2 hours ago After owning almost every brand out there, I can honestly say Samsung is the most reliable. If... more You would be right about fast charging, if you weren't completely wrong. The fact that your battery is dead has nothing to do with fast charging. Stop fantasizing, and go read a little about batteries. Batteries degrade from: 1 - High temperature. The new technology allows you to charge your battery at least 2 times faster, which reduces its heating by half. 1+/Oppo even uses technology that allows the heat dissipation during charging to be mainly from the adapter. 2 - The smaller the battery, the more often you charge it, the faster it will degrade. Guess which brand still relies on small batteries? 🤣 3 - Charging from 80 to 100 percent. Can you guess which is better? Limiting a 6000+mAh battery to 80 percent or limiting a 4400mAh battery to 80 percent? 🤣🤣 4 - Each manufacturer generally uses their own protocols for charging their phones' batteries. If you use a charger that doesn't meet them, your phone will heat up and won't charge as fast as it's supposed to. This also leads to battery degradation. But you can continue living in the land of slow charging and small batteries, no problem. Sailory, 2 hours ago After owning almost every brand out there, I can honestly say Samsung is the most reliable. If... more Samsung's customer service is absolute rubbish in the EU.

If any other brand will have the same software, same availability and same custome support in case of damage as Samsung does, then I'll gladly switch to that brand. I don't gieva crap what logo is on my device, as long as it offers everything, not just hardware. But sadly nothing compares to what Samsung (and Apple) provide in the US and Europe. You can go on and brag about something like fast charging all you want, that crippled my older phones batteries. I will always activate the slower charging and put battery protection on as I have very bad experience with fast charging. People, especially here in GSMArena, believe that hardware features are the only thing that matter. But it's not a coincidence that Samsung and Apple are the top sellers worldwide, they have the best update policy, best customer support and great deals consistently k Vale, 4 hours ago How are people getting milked?

But they sell cars that match the money they ask for them. And you are being milked by Samsung, because for the sixth year in a row they are going to offer you a phone with the same battery, the same charging speed, almost the same cameras, etc., but with an increased price. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you are happy with the name of it - Samsung. Vale, 4 hours ago How are people getting milked? You know you don't have to buy anything if you don't ... more The examples you took are so wrong. Lamborghini and arguably most watch companies put more thought into theirs products than Samsung. Not using S/Ci battery tech for a phone like this was already comical, but two gens in a row is properly despicable. But again, Samsung and innovation parted ways some time ago now. What about the s26 pro? k Strawhat, 4 hours ago Silicon Carbon technology? Next century. Maybe. S Silicon Carbon technology? T Great news if S26 Pro will get bigger...
