Apr 7, 2023

After launching the Realme GT Neo 5 and Neo 5 SE, the company is now gearing up to unveil its next number series. Realme 11 Series is expected to include multiple models, such as the Realme 11 Pro and 11 Pro+. Although there hasn’t been any buzz around the standard version of Realme 11, a new mobile phone has surfaced on the TKDN website today, which might possibly be the anticipated model. Here are the details.

A Realme smartphone with model number RMX3760 has appeared on Indonesia’s TKDN website. While the listing did not reveal any interesting details about the handset, the model number hints it could be a Realme 11 series handset, possibly the vanilla Realme 11. We know it’s not the Realme 11 Pro or Pro+ as these phones have model numbers RMX3770 and RMX3740, respectively.

While there’s no info about the vanilla Realme 11, a recent TENAA listing revealed the Realme 11 Pro will come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that may have a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it may be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. For photography, it may get a triple camera setup, headlined by a 200MP primary sensor. While the front may flaunt a 16MP selfie shooter. It may pack a 5,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support.

It goes without saying that the vanilla model will not boast such high-end specs. Realme will likely introduce it as a balanced smartphone. However, it may share the display with the other two models in the lineup. Currently, other details are unknown. We hope to learn more in the coming days. Stay tuned.

Meizu’s first foldable could rival Galaxy Z Fold 5 with its 200MP main camera

By

-

Apr 7, 2023

After making a comeback in the flagship smartphone market with the Meizu 20 series, it seems the Geely-owned company is now planning to throw its hat in the foldable phone category. Meizu’s vice president recently confirmed the company will launch a folding smartphone by the end of this year and we even saw a patent for the same. Now while we wait for more concrete information, a tipster has revealed the first Meizu foldable will arrive with a whopping 200MP main camera.

As per a screenshot shared by WHYLAB on Weibo, the upcoming Meizu foldable, likely to be called Meizu 20 Fold, will be equipped with a 200MP main shooter. The smartphone can be seen to be linked with the ISOCELL HP1 sensor, which is older than the latest HP2 found on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Nevertheless, the sensor is said to offer impressive capabilities like 8K recording, high-end pixel-binning, and fast auto-focus.

This could give the Meizu 20 Fold an upper hand over the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5, at least in the camera department. But that’s just a far-fetched assumption because, without proper ISP and software to back it, even a 200MP camera sensor is barely useful over other sensors. The brand’s latest flagship— the Meizu 20 Pro— comes with up to 50MP main cameras, however, we can’t comment on its photography performance as of yet.

Details about the Meizu foldable are pretty limited. A recent patent has suggested that it may take the form of a flip phone, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip models, and may come with a new hinge design. We should be learning more about the smartphone in the days to come. Stay tuned for the updates.

The Vivo X Flip was recently spotted in a leaked live image. Now more official-looking images of the phone have surfaced on Weibo giving us a better look at the device. Chinese actress Wang Ziwen (aka Ava Wang) is seen posing with the upcoming Vivo X Flip in the images.

Right off the bat, the Vivo X Flip seems to be a tall phone with a large interior display. It has a slim profile and curved edges on all four sides. The back panel has an embossed diamond cut pattern and is in Purple color. The device is also expected to be offered in Black and Gold hues. There is a circular camera module at the top left corner of the back panel. It houses two sensors and an LED flash sits outside. The images also confirm the presence of ZEISS-branded cameras on the upcoming foldable phone.

Coming to the main aspect, the images reveal the Vivo X Flip with a horizontal display on the back panel. It is located just below the camera module and the screen stretches from one end to another with slightly curved corners. The secondary screen maxes out at the hinge where the phone folds.

This is everything we could spot about the Vivo X Flip from the official-looking images. We can expect Vivo to make an official announcement about its first clamshell foldable phone in the coming days. As per reports, the device is rumored to be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC coupled with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.

Amazon grows diamonds for its future quantum computing & networking plans

Apr 7, 2023

Amazon is apparently looking to acquire diamond for its future plans in quantum computing and networking. The company is working in conjunction with a diamond miner for this move, so here are all the details.

The e-commerce giant is partnering up with known miners De Beers to develop the precious stone under laboratory conditions. These diamonds will be used to supposedly improve the speeds of quantum computing and networking. The project is being run by the tech giant’s Center for Quantum Networking as a part of its AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud service. So now, De Beers’ Element Six division is responsible for growing these diamonds to help improve their quantum networking speeds.

For those unaware, the quantum computing is typically believed to be the next step in computing technology. Unlike the conventional binary system, this technology offers a whole new way to compute that underpin all our current digital technologies. Furthermore, the standard fiber optic infrastructure is also not fast enough to keep up with this technology. Thus, Amazon is looking to solve the problem by utilizing different materials like diamonds. In a year, Element Six will apparently produce around 2 million of these diamond components.

To explain the technology, quantum computing utilizes principle in quantum physics that subatomic particles that can be found in two places at the same time. So, quantum computers relies on qubits rather than bits. This means that quantum systems are theoretically much more powerful than any of the current generation of supercomputers. Thus, these new diamonds will be used to make signal repeaters to relay the information stored in qubits through networks. Thanks to the hardness, the diamonds will enable stabler transmission than traditional repeaters.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra might just be the USB 3.0 Xiaomi phone you’ve been dreaming of

By

-

Apr 7, 2023

Xiaomi has been lagging behind in USB technology, still sticking to the outdated USB 2.0 port on their phones. It’s quite puzzling why the brand hasn’t made the switch to USB 3.0, especially when other major players in the market like Samsung have already done so. However, there have been rumors swirling around since last year that Xiaomi has been testing USB 3.0 and it seems the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra may be the first phone to feature this long-awaited upgrade.

According to a reliable source, Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra will come equipped with a USB 3.x port. If this information turns out to be true, it will mark the first time a Xiaomi smartphone includes this particular USB standard. Currently, only some gaming phones from Xiaomi’s sub-brand Black Shark support the USB 3.0 standard.

This should mean a great deal for you as a consumer because USB 3.0 provides better speed and more efficient power management than USB 2.0. It also enables the capability to output high-resolution displays to HDMI. This can be particularly advantageous in various scenarios. For instance, when you want to present a slideshow or give a presentation on a larger screen without a separate adapter.

To remind you, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will debut in the global market this month. Just like last year’s Xiaomi 12S Ultra, the handset will offer a top-notch photography experience with a quad camera setup tuned by Leica. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the handset will support both wired and wireless charging. It could have up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage and run Android 13 out of the box.

Google has announced that WebGPU, an API designed to give web apps greater access to your graphics card’s capabilities, will be enabled by default in Chrome 113. The release is scheduled for around three weeks from now, and WebGPU will be available on Windows PCs supporting Direct3D 12, macOS, and ChromeOS devices with Vulkan support. Here are the details…

Google is rolling out WebGPU tech for next-gen gaming in your browser

In a blog post, Google explained that WebGPU allows developers to achieve the same level of graphics with significantly less code while providing more than three times the improvements in machine learning model inferences. This breakthrough is especially relevant in the current age of generative AIs and large language models, opening up possibilities for advanced machine learning applications that take advantage of local hardware.

WebGPU technology can also enable developers to create better-looking games for your browser. Babylon.js, for instance, already has an impressive demo that can be run on the Chrome Beta. Google has described this month’s release as a “building block for future updates and enhancements,” with more advanced graphics features and deeper access to shader cores expected. Developers can also look forward to improvements in the development of content that runs on WebGPU.

The API has been under development since its conception in 2017, and it is not exclusive to Chrome. In the future, it is expected to be available in Firefox and Safari as well. Google is working on expanding its implementation to support more operating systems, including Linux and Android.

In other Chrome-related news, Google announced on Wednesday its plans to speed up future releases of the browser. While the stable releases’ schedule remains unchanged, Google aims to “feature freeze” them later, shortening the time between when developers stop adding new features to the build and when the general public receives the update. This change is expected to streamline the development process.

Samsung to stick with AMD for mobile GPUs despite Exynos 2200 disappointment

By

Apr 7, 2023

Back in 2021, AMD and Samsung co-developed an RDNA2-based GPU for Exynos chipsets, which debuted with the Exynos 2200, the chip that powered the Galaxy S22 series. Unfortunately, the chip didn’t quite live up to expectations. In fact, it was pretty underwhelming compared to its rival TSMC’s 5nm-class nodes. Despite this, AMD and Samsung have now announced that the two companies are renewing their GPU architecture licensing agreement for the Korean company’s Exynos SoCs.

Samsung previously made it clear that it will stick with AMD for mobile GPUs. And now, the South Korean company has signed a multi-year deal with AMD to continue licensing AMD’s Radeon graphics architectures for use in its Arm-based Exynos SoCs. The extension of the licensing agreement comes 4 years after Samsung and AMD announced their initial licensing agreement in June 2019.

“Together with AMD, Samsung has been revolutionizing mobile graphics, including our recent collaboration that brought ray tracing capability to mobile processors for the first time in the industry,” said Seogjun Lee, executive vice president of Application Processor (AP) Development at Samsung Electronics. “Drawing on our technological know-how in designing ultra-low-power solutions, we will continue to drive ongoing innovation in the mobile graphics space.”

“We are excited Samsung selected multiple generations of our leadership high-performance Radeon graphics to advance the next generation of Samsung Exynos solutions,” said David Wang, senior vice president of the Radeon Technologies Group at AMD. “The extension of our work with Samsung is a testament to our strong technology partnership and commitment to bring the best experiences possible to mobile users.”

The agreement suggests AMD will play a role in the development of the rumored Samsung Exynos 2400 SoC, which should have Xclipse X940 GPU. Furthermore, this recent announcement serves as proof that AMD is committed to continuing its GPU IP licensing business. It’s clear that they have no plans of slowing down in this regard.

Unfortunately, this is all the information we have regarding the upcoming 2023 MagicBook 14 laptop model.

As the name suggests, we can expect the new laptop will likely feature a 14 inch display. The previous models offered up to 2.1K resolution, 300 nits of peak brightness, and 100 percent sRGB color gamut as well. Furthermore, Honor has offered both AMD and Intel powered models in the past, so we can expect either the latest Ryzen 7000 series or Intel Core 13th Gen processors to power the laptops.
