Meizu 21 screen resolution, battery size officially confirmed

Meizu will announce the Meizu 21 featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on Nov. 30 in China. The company recently revealed the front design of the smartphone. Today, it rolled out a couple of posters to confirm its display resolution and battery size.

Meizu 21 display resolution, battery size

Meizu has officially verified that the Meizu 21 comes with a 6.55-inch Samsung AMOLED display. The latest promotional materials affirm that the screen will boast a 1.5K resolution and feature 1920Hz PWM dimming. Furthermore, the Meizu 21’s display has obtained SGS low blue light certification and flicker-free certification. The screen will offer an amazing viewing experience as it is flanked by symmetrical 1.74mm bezels on all four sides.

The Meizu 21 has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a chipset that is also available in flagship phones of various brands like Xiaomi, iQOO, Nubia, Realme, and OnePlus. However, the Meizu 21 promises enhanced performance compared to its competitors, attributing this advantage to the integration of the company’s OneMind 10.5 AI engine. This engine promises Meizu-specific customizations for an optimized user experience.

Meizu also confirmed that the Meizu 21 packs a 4,800mAh battery. According to the brand, with OneMind 10.5 and the energy-efficient Samsung AMOLED screen, the phone achieves an impressive 8.2 hours in extreme endurance mode, testing from 0 to 100%. In other words, the Meizu 21, when subjected to a demanding test simulating heavy usage from a fully charged (100%) to a completely depleted battery, demonstrated an impressive endurance or battery life of 8.2 hours. Meizu claimed that this performance surpasses that of competitors on the same platform with a 5,100mAh battery that achieves 7.4 hours in similar testing.

The 3C certification for the Meizu 21 indicates potential support for 80W fast charging. Interestingly, Meizu has not yet provided teasers for the Meizu 21 Pro, hinting that it might not be launched simultaneously with the Meizu 21 on Nov. 30.

In addition to confirming the launch date, Realme has not disclosed any additional details about the GT 5 Pro. The poster released by the brand provides only a glimpse of the round camera module and mentions the announcement date without revealing further information.

Reports have revealed that the RMX3888 Realme device, which has appeared in the databases of Geekbench, AnTuTu, and China’s TENAA certification platform, is the upcoming Realme GT 5 Pro.

So far, the brand has confirmed that the Realme GT 5 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and its rear camera setup will include a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 primary camera and a 50-megapixel IMX890 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and 120x digital zoom.

iQOO 12 Pro Review: When The Muscle Guy Dressed Up As A Gentleman

As a sub-brand of Vivo, iQOO has always focused on making high-performance gaming phones. But it seems that iQOO realized it’s not enough to just please gamers, so their phones have slowly changed from being biased towards gamers to more towards the normal person. This iQOO 12 Pro, instead of being a gaming phone, it’s more like a regular phone that’s better suited for gaming. It may be a bummer for gamers, but it does get better for more people.

WHERE TO BUY
Buy iQOO 12 Pro @Giztop with coupon: GIZMO

Design

First of all, this new look is much better than before. Unlike previous iQOO phones, its camera module has become much more rounded, making this phone a lot gentler. If the logo was blocked out, I would never have guessed this was a new iQOO phone. I would say this new design will get a lot of non-gamers interest, and it’s definitely one of the best upgrades to the iQOO 12 Pro.

I’m also happy for the iQOO flagship phone which finally supports IP68, and the IR emitter is still on the top, but USB 2.0 makes me not so happy. I know that people probably don’t use USB to transfer data very often anymore, so you don’t really care if it’s 2.0 or 3.0. But for the same price, other phones have USB 3.0 already. I just don’t get it, why should normal consumers like me and you should suffer this?

Camera

Normally we don’t talk much about the camera on “gaming phones”, but this time it’s different. 12 Pro’s camera is already at a very good level. At least when we look at the specs, it’s a bit better than the Xiaomi 14 Pro at the same price range.

There are no well-known camera brands in this, but the color style is quite pleasing. The dynamic range of all three cameras is excellent, and there are no signs of over-sharpening. The iQOO 12 Pro is really handy when it comes to taking photos of food and pets, it’s a huge improvement over its predecessor.

Especially in macro mode, you can choose to use the ultra-wide camera to get close enough to take detailed photos. Or, you can choose to take photos with a telephoto focusing distance of 15cm. The benefit is of course that you can get a shallower depth of field. And I can’t believe that iQOO phones can actually switch between three lenses in 4K recording one day. The camera system on this iQOO 12 Pro is totally good enough for most people.

But as an expert in mobile photography, the iQOO 12 Pro still leaves a lot behind. For example, the front-facing camera still only records 1080p 30fps video and doesn’t have any image stabilization. So Vloggers will have to say goodbye to the iQOO 12 Pro.

There’s also an old problem from the Vivo family: you can’t use the telephoto camera in very low light. If you zoom in to 3x, it’ll shoot the object with the main camera and then do some cropping, instead of shooting like the real telephoto camera. I don’t understand why iQOO just won’t let me use this telephoto camera. The Xiaomi 14, which clearly has a smaller sensor, can do that without any problem.

Also, for example, it will be cooler when shooting yellow objects, and the purple-fringing issue with telephoto lenses has not been resolved. It seems that the iQOO 12 Pro still has some gaps compared to the main photography phones.

Display

The iQOO 12 Pro’s screen gets the usual upgrade from Samsung’s E6 panel to the E7. The biggest change is that the HDR window’s maximum brightness has almost doubled. It’s still 1440Hz dimming at low brightness, but you can go to developer mode and change it to DC-like dimming mode.

If you bought the iQOO 12 Pro and feel like the screen isn’t quite as sharp as it should be, it’s because the default resolution is 1080p, so remember to go to Settings and change it to UHD.

The screen itself is nothing much I can complain about, but I do have a bit of a gripe about the fingerprint recognition. It’s still ultrasonic recognition though, and it works pretty well. But the 12 Pro is definitely a step back from the super large fingerprint recognition of the iQOO 11 Pro.

Benchmark & Gaming

You never need to worry about the performance of an iQOO phone, as the 12 Pro uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as expected. all the stats are in line with the normal 8 Gen 3 performance which is great.

I would have expected the iQOO 12 Pro to completely conquer the Genshin Impact because a smaller phone like the Xiaomi 14 has almost done it. But in reality the iQOO 12 Pro isn’t that much better, it is better in stability, but at the cost of higher power consumption.

They all look pretty much the same, so why we would say iQOO 12 Pro focuses on performance, the answer is the self-developed Q1 chip in the phone, which improves the smoothness and resolution of your games. While I think it’s a great feature, I don’t think it’s going to be useful for non-Chinese users. Most of the games that support this feature are Chinese games, maybe the only one you guys will play is Genshin Impact.

Battery & Charging

The iQOO 12 Pro is no longer the 200W charging monster it once was, but you can’t be too critical with 120W. 26 minutes to fill up should be more than most people need. And it has wireless charging, which is fantastic. One thing I really like about iQOO: their charger always with USB-C port and supports PD 65W charging, I urge all brands to learn from it! Even the 12 Pro has a super large battery, it lasts about as long as any other phone IF you play a lot of big games.

Conclusion

As you can see, the iQOO 12 Pro doesn’t look like what we call a “gaming phone”. As the title says, it has a powerful performance but looks so elegant. It’s similar to the Xiaomi 14 Pro, with photography first, and performance second. Whereas the iQOO 12 Pro is all about gaming and then the photos are pretty good too. Which one to choose depends on whether you prefer photography or gaming.

Stellantis Issues Global Recall of Jeep Wrangler 4xe Over Battery Fire Risks

Stellantis, the parent company of the renowned Jeep brand, has announced a major recall of its plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe models, affecting over 44,000 units globally. This decision, rooted in safety concerns, highlights the challenges and responsibilities faced by automotive manufacturers in the era of electric vehicles (EVs).

There is a potential fire risk associated with the high-voltage battery pack

At the heart of this recall is a potential fire risk associated with the high-voltage battery pack in the Jeep Wrangler 4xe models. Following a routine check of customer data, Stellantis discovered eight instances of vehicle fires. Notably, these incidents occurred while the vehicles were parked and, in most cases, connected to chargers. This situation underscores the complexity and potential risks inherent in modern EV battery technology.

Jeep Wrangler

The recall predominantly impacts vehicles in the United States, with significant numbers also in Canada and other regions. Owners of the affected 2021-2024 model-year vehicles are advised to avoid recharging their hybrids and to park them at a safe distance from structures and other vehicles. This advice reflects a prudent approach to risk management, prioritizing customer safety over convenience.

Addressing the issue involves a software update and, in some cases, a complete battery pack replacement. This approach is indicative of the technical challenges faced by automakers in the rapidly evolving EV market, where software plays a crucial role in vehicle performance and safety. The company’s proactive customer communication strategy demonstrates its commitment to customer satisfaction and safety.

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has been a notable success in the U.S. market, outperforming rivals in sales. This recall, however, puts a spotlight on the challenges of maintaining quality and safety standards in the competitive and fast-paced EV sector. As the automotive industry transitions to electric powertrains, manufacturers like Stellantis must navigate the fine line between innovation and reliability.

The New Storck Name:2 E-Bike Weighs Only 17 kilograms

City life is fast-paced and demanding, and the Storck Name:2 e-bike seems to understand this perfectly. Known for its high-performance road bikes, Storck has now ventured into the e-bike market, targeting those who navigate the urban jungle daily.

The bike has 24-inch wheels that are suited to city driving

What makes the Storck Name:2 stand out is its clever blend of compact design and sporty performance. Its size and shape are reminiscent of a BMX bike, with 24-inch wheels that make it easy to zip through crowded city streets. Despite its small size, it doesn’t compromise on comfort. The tall seatpost and standard handlebars ensure a comfortable ride, whether you’re commuting to work or just out for a leisurely ride.

E-bike

But it’s not just about looks. The Name:2 is a powerhouse. It’s as light as a feather for an e-bike, weighing no more than 17 kilograms. This is thanks to Storck’s innovative use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced material, the same used in their race bikes. Plus, the Fazua Ride 50 Trail motor provides a whopping 50 Newton-meters of torque, making even the steepest hills feel like a breeze.

For those who love a bit of tech in their ride, the Name:2 doesn’t disappoint. It comes with a high-performance 12-speed Shimano XT M8100 drivetrain, ensuring smooth gear transitions. Its Schwalbe Big Ben tires are specifically chosen for city riding, offering a stable and secure experience. However, it’s important to note that the Name:2 is strictly for urban use. It doesn’t come with extras like luggage racks or mudguards, and its price tag of about $5,235 USD is hefty but somewhat justified for the set of features it offers. What do you think? Is this is a solid contender in a rapidly improving niche? Let us know in the comments below.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is all Set to Outshine its Predecessors

Hyundai is making bold strides with its Ioniq 6 N, rumored to be the most powerful model in its N series. Expected to debut by 2025, this electric anomaly is set to redefine boundaries in the segment.

The car will hit 0 to 60 mph in a staggering 3.2 seconds

Hyundai’s journey towards electrification gained momentum with the Ioniq 5 N, but the Ioniq 6 N is set to surpass its predecessor. Equipped with a dual-motor setup, it’s anticipated to deliver a staggering 641 horsepower. Though its torque remains under wraps, it’s speculated to exceed the 545 lb-ft offered by the Ioniq 5 N. These figures suggest a vehicle capable of extraordinary acceleration, likely outperforming the Ioniq 5 N’s 3.2-second sprint to 60 mph.

hyundai

The Ioniq 6 N’s design borrows insights from the RN22e concept, unveiled last year as a precursor to Hyundai’s electric N models. The RN22e, with its 577 horsepower, not only matched the Kia EV6 GT but also served as a testing ground for the E-GMP platform, crucial for high-performance electric vehicles.

Despite this electric focus, Hyundai hasn’t abandoned gasoline-powered cars. The upcoming Elantra N is expected to feature an even more robust gasoline engine. However, the emphasis on electric N models is unmistakable, driven by tightening global emissions regulations.

This move isn’t just about compliance. Hyundai is committed to keeping the thrill of driving alive, even in an electric future. The Ioniq 6 N stands as a testament to this commitment, blending environmental responsibility with the exhilaration of high performance.

OpenAI’s Alarming Discovery of a Powerful AI That Poses a Threat to Humanity

Artificial intelligence technologies continue to become widespread and are appearing in every aspect of our lives. While many people find this development beneficial for the progress of humanity, others consider it dangerous. However, it seems that the latter group is justified. This is because OpenAI employees, who recently resigned from their positions, warned about a “powerful artificial intelligence discovery that could threaten humanity” sparking concerns and discussions. Here ate the details…

OpenAI reportedly made a potentially scary AI breakthrough

OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has just concluded a highly eventful week. Initially, the company’s CEO was ousted by the board of directors but was reinstated after pressure. Right after that, CEO Sam Altman made changes to the board. Many of us struggled to make sense of these chaotic power plays and tried to understand what was unfolding. It turns out that one of the reasons behind the scandal was a discovery that could potentially bring about the end of humanity.

OpenAI AI

As you may know, OpenAI is working on various artificial intelligence models. Two of these, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, are currently available. However, there’s another AI model that the company has named Q. What sets Q apart is that it’s not your typical AI like ChatGPT or Bard that we’re accustomed to. According to claims, Q is a technology straight out of science fiction films, capable of performing highly complex tasks.

Some employees believe that Q represents an advanced technology at a dangerously intelligent level. According to them, this AI could become too intelligent and potentially pose harm to humans. In fact, some employees became so concerned about this discovery and the CEO’s behavior that they brought the matter to the attention of the board of directors. After discussions with Sam Altman, the board members, citing the CEO’s failure to take the danger seriously, decided to dismiss him.

Of course, all of this is currently based on rumors. However, the company’s reluctance to comment on the matter only adds to the suspicions. The exact workings of Q and why it instills so much fear are still unclear. One thing is certain, though: the science fiction disasters we enjoy watching are just a step away from becoming a reality.
