Dec 28, 2023

Vivo unveiled the X100 and X100 Pro smartphones in China back in November. Both the phones boast a powerful Dimensity 9300 chip and a curved-edge OLED display. While the lineup currently features two devices for now, we have also been hearing rumors about a more affordable Vivo X100s.

Today, tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo has shed some light on the X100s’ alleged specs. If the rumors are true, the X100s will be quite similar to its curved sibling, except for the display. It’s expected to sport a 6.78-inch BOE 8T OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a likely 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the X100s is tipped to pack the same Dimensity 9300 chip as the Vivo X100. It’ll also likely come with a generous 5,000mAh battery with fast charging support, possibly at 120W or even 80W.

In the camera department, the X100s is rumored to have a triple-lens setup on the back. The main sensor could be a 50-megapixel Sony IMX920 with optical image stabilization (OIS), joined by a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultrawide lens and a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. No word on the selfie camera yet, but it might inherit the X100’s 32-megapixel front-facing shooter.

Besides this, Vivo is also expected to launch an X100 Pro+ smartphone. It will be the top-of-the-line variant in the lineup, expected to come with a whopping 200MP periscope telephoto lens which is said to support 200x digital zoom.

As for the launch, Vivo is expected to hold an event in China sometime in the first quarter of 2024 where it might announce the Vivo X100s. The X100 Pro+ smartphone might also debut alongside it, but if we go by previous report, the company may announce the smartphone in the second quarter of 2024.

Motorola promises comeback in 2024, X-series, S-series flagship phones incoming

By

Dec 28, 2023

In October, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and released an official list of brands set to launch flagship phones featuring the new chip. Notably absent from the list was Motorola, and the brand has yet to confirm its plans regarding the release of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phone. In 2022, Motorola released multiple phones for China and other markets, but in 2023, the company released fewer products. Besides the Razr 40, Razr 40 Ultra, and the recently unveiled Moto G34 5G in China, the brand has been less active compared to previous years. Today, Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo China Mobile Phone Business, took to Weibo to disclose the company’s plans for Motorola’s product lineup in 2024 for China.

Motorola in 2024: What to expect?

According to Chen Jin, Moto Razr experienced significant success in China and the global market in 2023. However, acknowledging that expectations for the Motorola brand surpass the Razr lineup, details about what to anticipate in the upcoming year were disclosed.

Chen added that, acknowledging the anticipation for new Moto products and understanding that everyone is eager for continuous improvement and more exciting innovations.

Over the year, we have been restructuring our product planning and pace in response to the significant opportunities and challenges posed by folding screens and AI large models in the mobile phone industry.

On the product front, the new Razr is set to showcase a more impressive design and enhanced AI interaction. The X-series imaging flagship will integrate new capabilities in large AI language models, while the S-series and G-series will undergo comprehensive enhancements. 2024 is slated to be the year when Motorola reveals its complete product range. We believe that the X-series and S-series flagship phones may get rebranded as Edge-branded models in the global market.

Throughout 2023, the company silently focused on accumulating and adjusting its position. In 2024, the brand intends to embark on a new journey, delivering valuable products to all users.

Games like Destiny 2 are still sporting a large player base

The top sellers, including titles like “Apex Legends” and “Baldur’s Gate 3,” demonstrate a blend of long-standing favorites and new hits. It’s interesting to see how games like “Destiny 2” continue to attract a large player base, proving that a game’s age doesn’t always dictate its popularity.

In the category of new releases, games like “Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon” and “Hogwarts Legacy” made a strong impression, showing that gamers are eager for fresh experiences and new worlds to explore.

The most-played games, led by titles such as “Apex Legends” and “Counter-Strike 2,” highlight a community’s commitment to certain games, with player counts reaching impressive peaks. This commitment is a testament to the games’ ability to engage and retain players over time.

Ostrichoo Shakes Up E-Bike World with Ultra-Fast Charging – See How!

By

-

Dec 28, 2023

The e-bike landscape is constantly evolving, and Dutch company Ostrichoo is at the forefront of this innovation. In a move away from traditional lithium batteries, Ostrichoo is harnessing the power of supercapacitors to energize its range of electric bikes. This shift isn’t just a technical tweak – it’s a game-changer in how we think about e-bike efficiency and sustainability.

The bikes use supercapacitors with way more advantages than typical Lithium batteries

Supercapacitors, while not a new invention, offer distinct advantages over the typical lithium batteries used in most electric vehicles, including e-bikes. They stand out for their ability to charge and discharge energy rapidly. This feature translates into practical benefits for e-bike riders, such as quick bursts of power – ideal for tackling steep inclines – and exceptionally fast recharge times. Imagine regaining most of your bike’s charge in the time it takes to enjoy a coffee break!

Another significant advantage of supercapacitors is their environmental edge. Constructed from materials like aluminum and coal, they require fewer rare earth metals, making them a more eco-friendly choice. In addition, Ostrichoo’s e-bikes boast an impressive 2,200 charge cycle lifespan, nearly double that of standard lithium battery-powered models.

Of course, every innovation has its trade-offs. Supercapacitor-powered bikes like those from Ostrichoo offer a shorter range – about 70 kilometers per charge. However, this is offset by their rapid charging capability, with Ostrichoo claiming up to 80 percent charge in just eight minutes using specific chargers.

Ostrichoo’s product line demonstrates its commitment to versatility and accessibility in e-mobility. From the rugged Nero e-MTB, priced at an accessible 1,199 euros, to the premium, urban-focused Caesar with a 120-kilometer range, there’s a model for every type of rider. These bikes aren’t just vehicles; they’re clear proof of the evolving relationship between technology, sustainability, and our urban landscapes.

Dec 28, 2023

BYD, the Chinese automotive giant, has recently announced plans to establish its inaugural electric car manufacturing facility in Europe, specifically in Szeged, Hungary. This move marks a significant expansion of BYD’s global footprint and is an exciting development in the European electric vehicle (EV) market.

Hungary has already been a host to BYD’s production for the EU

Hungary, already a host to BYD’s electric bus production, is becoming a hub for EV-related investments within the European Union. This strategic decision by BYD underscores Hungary’s growing importance in the EV industry.

Presently, BYD offers five electric car models in Europe: Han, Tang, Atto 3, Seal, and Dolphin, and operates 230 retail stores across 19 countries. The company plans to expand its European lineup with three more models by 2024. This expansion is a clear indication of BYD’s commitment to the European market and its confidence in the growing demand for electric vehicles.

The proposed factory in Hungary is more than just a manufacturing hub; it represents a significant economic boost for the region. Expected to generate thousands of jobs, the facility will also enhance local economies and support regional supply chains. This move is particularly notable as it aligns with Europe’s shift away from internal combustion engines towards more sustainable transportation options.

BYD’s approach is unique in its commitment to a highly integrated supply chain. The company plans to leverage this to create a local ‘green ecosystem’, promoting technological exchange and innovation between China and Hungary. This strategy not only positions BYD as a leader in the EV sector but also demonstrates its dedication to sustainable practices.

The New York Times Takes on OpenAI & Microsoft in Court

Dec 28, 2023

ChatGPT, Bard, Copilot, and much more… As you can see, the number of artificial intelligence in our lives is rapidly increasing. Nowadays, companies are working on developing their own AI chatbots or integrating their capabilities into their services. Of course, this process is much more difficult than you can imagine.

This is because developing an artificial intelligence model requires not only hardware and software knowledge but also training it with billions of pieces of information obtained from millions of different sources. However, accessing such information isn’t always straightforward within legal boundaries, as highlighted by The New York Times’ lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement. Here are the details…

The New York Times vs. OpenAI & Microsoft over Copyright Infringement

New York Times claims that millions of their articles were used without permission in training language models such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. They’re concerned about the impact on journalism because AI can create content much faster than humans. If AI leverages data from platforms like The New York Times, it could cause substantial financial harm to these publications.

The company stated that they had contacted both OpenAI and Microsoft, but couldn’t reach an agreement. Despite the unstoppable progress in AI tech, New York Times is right about certain aspects. Firstly, using copyrighted content for commercial purposes is definitely illegal. Moreover, low-quality content created by AI poses a real threat to journalism.

While search engines like Google prioritize original content, it can be difficult to distinguish between AI and human made content. Artificial intelligence poses a threat to various professions, with journalism appearing as one of the most vulnerable. Of course, what the future holds remains uncertain for now. To find out more, it seems we have to wait for the outcome of New York Times’ lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft.

Dec 27, 2023

LG Electronics has announced its latest smart AI agent in pursuit of its zero-labor home ideal. The new LG two-legged smart AI bot is capable of understanding context and intentions via multimodal AI technology. It is also equipped with the Qualcomm Robotics RB5 Platform for face and voice recognition. The smart home agent is also capable of processing natural language to underscore its role as an all-around home manager.

The LG smart home AI agent is part of LG’s lineup for CES 2024, as the company intends to launch the bot as an essential part of its vision of zero labor home. LG hopes that gadgets of this nature will help to reinvent the future of home automation. The design of the bot makes it capable of functioning as a home companion. It is a two-legged, two-wheeled device with a visor that could function as a screen. It has a built-in camera, speaker, and sensors that gather data around the home. The LG smart AI bot is marketed as a moving smart home hub but the specifics on the smart home standard adopted are lacking at this time. It is expected that the LG bot should support Matter just like a regular smart hub.

The LG smart home AI agent offers exciting possibilities but there are opinions in some quarters that it may just be an expensive gimmick rather than an essential gadget. CES 2024 opens its doors on January 9, 2024, and we expect to be serenaded by the performance of the LG smart home AI agent during the event. The venue of CES 2024 is the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, United States. There is no pricing information for the LG smart home AI agent yet.
