Honor has just recently offered us a glimpse at how it developed the cutting edge technology that it features on its flagship Magic 5 Pro smartphone. The company is offering a behind the scenes look at certain features, so let’s have a look.

Honor Magic 5 Pro’s Advanced Autofocus & Eye Care Tech

For those unaware, the Chinese smartphone maker’s new Magic 5 Pro model arrives with cutting edge photography features. This device’s camera now offers a massive 245 percent jump in autofocus speed compared to its predecessor for an improved photographic experience. It also comes with AI Motion Sensing technology that is capable of recognizing subjects, even in moving scenes.

Furthermore, the Magic 5 Pro also places an emphasis on user eye protection. The device aims to protect users eye thanks to advancements in display technology. It highlighted its Circadian Night Display and Dynamic Dimming feature. For those unaware, the Magic 5 Pro is the first smartphone to receive the TÜV Rheinland Circadian Friendly Certification. This means that it manages blue light output and can automatically adjust color temperature during night time.

Ensuring the Best Product Quality

Apart from just offering cutting edge technologies, Honor has also invested heavily to ensure that its customers get the best production quality with its Magic 5 Pro. The brand has spent over 20 million US Dollars on quality assurance with testing equipment at its Global Compliance and Testing Center (GCTC).

Thanks to this, the device also comes with more than 200 certification test standards. With all of this, the company promises to offer the best product quality on its Magic 5 Pro.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra Unboxing & Hands on: Wow, a camera able to make a call!

By

Apr 19, 2023

Finally, Xiaomi’s top flagship: the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has been officially launched. Thinking back to last year’s Xiaomi 12S Ultra, it was great, but users in regions other than China simply couldn’t buy it. Various sources have proven that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is definitely going to be announced globally. So why not come along with us and see what’s in the box of Xiaomi’s peak mobile phone? You’ll be impressed a lot.

Unboxing

The most obvious difference between the Xiaomi 13 Ultra and the 12S Ultra is that there is an extra white colorway. But unfortunately Xiaomi Store currently only has green and black on the shelf, and I can only bring you the green version unboxing. We all know that no matter how expensive Xiaomi’s phones are, the complimentary accessories are relatively ordinary, so let’s see if it will be better this time.

Open the lid and we can see what’s inside this little box. The regular card pins and instructions, and the phone case. This case is not the same as the previous transparent case, the black plastic surface has a leather-like pattern. Very thin, much better than the previous one.

Let’s take the phone out and put it aside for now, first we can see the accessories. Not surprisingly, underneath the phone lies the charger and charging cable, the charger is still a USB-A port, but the power has increased to 90w. while the size is similar to the previous 67w.

Hands-on

Let’s take a look at this new phone. At first glance, it looks a bit like the 12S Ultra, but it’s completely different when you look closer. 13 Ultra’s frame is different from normal phones, not only is it flat, but the metal frame also extends to the back panel. The back panel is also raised at the camera module part, to make the camera look less protruding.

Except for the absence of the red Leica logo, it is very much like the Leica M10 look. Xiaomi 13 Ultra dares to launch the white leather version this time because its back panel is actually more like silicone than “leather”. It’s more durable and more resistant to dirt. But considering that my 12S Ultra’s corners have been worn flat, I wouldn’t trust them.

It has NFC and IR Emitter. But there is no headphone jack and no more Harman Kardon logo. Weight and size have not changed much compared to the 12S Ultra. If you have to ask me whether it’s comfortable to hold? My answer is more comfortable than I thought. The frame design doesn’t affect the feel too much， however, it is really heavy and thick. Your hands aren’t exactly comfortable for long periods of time.

So that’s what I would say about the design of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra: a beautiful phone that sacrifices feel in hand to look as much like a Leica camera as possible.

Display

Xiaomi 13 Ultra does not use Samsung’s screen this time, it is the latest C7 panel from TCL. This is not the first time Xiaomi has used a TCL panel on its top-of-the-line flagship phone, since the Mi 10 Ultra did the same thing. But at that time, TCL couldn’t make a screen comparable to Samsung’s, but this time, it did.

In terms of specs, it’s almost perfect. I didn’t find any drawbacks in my short hands-on time either. Oh, if there’s one thing I’m not satisfied with, it’s probably the width of the bezel. I’ve recently gotten used to the ultra-narrow bezels of the Xiaomi 13, and I feel like the 13 Ultra could do better.

We’ll leave the testing of the 13 Ultra’s performance and camera to the FULL review video. After all, it’s not officially on sale yet, and I don’t know how good it really is. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel. We will also do a review of the Xiaomi Band 8 and Pad 6 Pro later.

After this short hands-on experience, I finally know that Xiaomi has changed the way they think about making phones. They are making a camera that can make phone calls. Xiaomi is telling you that if you don’t like big and heavy phones and you are not interested in photography, buy the Xiaomi 13. If you like photography, especially if you are a fan of Leica. Then this 13 Ultra is the dream phone for you.

Apr 19, 2023

Apple’s highly-anticipated WorldWide Developer Conference 2023 (WWDC) is set to happen from June 5 to June 9, and the tech giant is gearing up to unveil major updates to its software systems. According to Bloomberg’s tech guru Mark Gurman, Apple’s watchOS 10 will be the biggest software update for the Apple Watch to date, bringing with it a revamped UI that boasts significant enhancements.

According to analyst941 (Twitter), the new Home Screen layout is set to be a standout feature of watchOS 10, as it allows for apps to be stacked neatly, akin to the layout on iOS. This will replace the two distinct layouts for Home Screen, the Grid and List view, currently available on the Apple Watch.

Gurman has also mentioned that the hardware changes in the next generation of Apple Watches will be minimal, making watchOS 10 a significant update for the wearable this year.

Gurman forecasts that iOS and iPadOS will receive some much-needed polishing and enhancements, as the tech giant prioritizes its users’ requests checklist for improvements.

Moreover, iOS 17 is expected to include the sideloading of apps, which means users can install apps from third-party stores. Additionally, Apple executives believe that the Reality headset may have a slow start but can eventually replace the iPhone and iPad.

The first beta of watchOS 10 is expected to be rolled out soon after the WWDC keynote, with the first public beta becoming available in July.

Amazon Announces Another Round of Layoffs, This Time from the Ad Department

By

Apr 19, 2023

Amazon, one of the world’s biggest companies, has confirmed that it is laying off employees in its advertising department as part of the company’s efforts to implement cost-cutting goals set by CEO Andy Jassy. While the scale of the layoffs is unclear, they are aimed at reallocating resources to maximize benefits for customers and ensure the long-term health of the business.

Amazon is also cutting jobs in its cloud computing, Twitch and HR Departments

The move comes as Amazon is undergoing the largest layoffs in its 29-year history. This was implemented after Jassy announced that Amazon will lay off 9,000 additional jobs on top of the 18,000 it cut in November last year and January this year. In addition to the recent layoffs in retail, equipment, recruiting, and human resources, Amazon is also cutting jobs in its advertising, cloud computing, Twitch streaming, and human resources departments.

These layoffs are part of a wider trend in the tech industry, as many companies are reassessing their workforce needs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies that have been heavily reliant on office-based workforces are rethinking their strategies, with many planning to continue with remote work arrangements even after the pandemic subsides. This shift is leading to layoffs in certain areas while creating new opportunities in others.

Despite the layoffs, the tech industry is still expected to be a major employer in the coming years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 11% from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. This growth is expected to be driven by increasing demand for cloud computing, big data, and cybersecurity.

Apr 19, 2023

Following the successful launch of the Valve Steam Deck, the handheld gaming console market is experiencing renewed competition. Asus is joining the fray with its own console, the Asus ROG Ally. Positioned as a direct rival to the Steam Deck, the brand has stated that the ROG Ally will offer twice the performance of its competitor.

Initially it was expected that the console will launch in October, howeever, a recent teaser from Asus has clarified that the ROG Ally will be launching sooner than expected. A new report from VideoCards has now disclosed one of the key aspects of the console, which is information regarding its CPU. The lesk comes via a shipping manifest revealing that the ROG Ally will feature an unreleased Ryzen 7 7840U, thr Radeon 780M iGPU and 16 GB of RAM.

ROG Ally will feature a custom CPU

We already know that the console will have a custome APU, so it will be interesting to see what custom chip AMD has cooking for this console. The repoer says that the custom Phoenix APU is codenamed Z1. In addition to that information, the publication has also spotted two different models of the console on FCC database. These models carry the model numbers RC71L and RC71X. Unfortunately, information is scarce on what makes them differ from one another. In the meantime, let’s check out what’s already known about the consoles.

Asus ROG Ally handheld console specs

Recent reports state that the console will be running Windows 11 operating system and will likely offer support for an external GPU. Rumors say that it has a 7-inch touch display with FHD resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel will have 500nits peak brightness and a 7ms response time.

As per recent reports from a reliable source in the handheld gaming industry, the upcoming Asus ROG Ally is expected to be narrower, thinner, and lighter than its competitor, the Valve Steam Deck. The device is projected to weigh 608 grams and measure 280mm x 113mm x 39mm. The source also suggests that the ROG Ally will be priced competitively, with an expected launch price of around US$650-US$700, which is lower than earlier rumors that had indicated a cost of up to US$800.

Apple’s Mixed Reality Headset May Let Users Work Out & Play Sports in VR

By

-

Apr 19, 2023

Apple is gearing up to unveil its Mixed Reality Headset soon. As the rumours around the headset continue to swirl, many are wondering how this product will fit into the broader market for virtual and augmented reality devices. Some analysts predict that Apple’s entry into the space could be a “game-changer,” given the company’s history of releasing innovative and stylish products that capture the public’s imagination and interest. However, others remain skeptical that the headset will be able to overcome the barriers that have kept other mixed-reality devices from gaining traction in the consumer market. Latest reports state that Apple is integrating its other services, such as Fitness+ with its mixed reality headset, which will allow users to work out in Virtual Reality. The company might even integrate some sports applications with the VR/AR ecosystem, letting users enjoy the thrill of playing sports from the comfort of their homes.

Apple’s Venture into VR & AR is highly anticipated

One key challenge facing the Apple mixed reality headset will be its price point. At an expected cost of $3,000, the device is significantly more expensive than other VR and AR headsets currently on the market. While some enthusiasts and professionals may be willing to pay a premium for Apple’s sleek design and powerful features, many consumers may simply drop the idea of the headset at such a high price tag. It remains to be seen whether Apple can convince a broad audience to invest in this new technology.

Another question mark hanging over the Apple mixed reality headset is the broader ecosystem of apps and services that will be available for the device. While it’s clear that the headset will have a strong focus on gaming, fitness, sports, and productivity, it’s unclear how well existing apps and services will translate to a mixed-reality environment. Apple’s track record of encouraging developers to create innovative apps for its devices is certainly promising, but it remains to be seen whether the company can create a compelling ecosystem that will entice users to keep coming back to the headset that costs a fortune.
