Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said on Apr 27 the rate of testing for migrant workers had not slowed and that MOH was increasing the capacity of testing of migrant workers.īy May, the cluster at the S11 dormitory had swelled with new cases every day for a month, but the rate of infection slowed dramatically to single-digit increases in late April. The increase at the S11 cluster remained stable, with small spikes over the next week, bar a 134-case jump on Apr 29. On Apr 22, there was a sharp dip in the number of daily cases at the S11 dormitory, with 71 new cases linked to the cluster - compared to the 166 the day before.īy Apr 25, the number of daily new cases at the cluster had dropped to just six, the first single-digit increase in nearly three weeks.

That ToF sensor will likely come from the manufacturer Sunny Optical in China – the same supplier of the ToF sensor in the Galaxy S10 5G. ![]() ToF means Time of Flight, and it's been in a few phones already, but nothing so major as a Galaxy S. This is far cooler than "visual object detection" might make it seem – think if it more of a Pokedex for every real-world object it's got indexed – that's more like it!Ī tip from TheElec in Korea suggests that the Galaxy S11 and Samsung Galaxy S11+ family will produce the first major Samsung smartphone with a ToF sensor. It's quite likely that the Galaxy S11 family of devices will sport the first spectrometer tech on its back for visual object detection.
