Oppo A98 gets a step closer to Launch, bags SIRIM certificate

Oppo might be gearing up to bring a new A series smartphone into the global as well as Chinese markets. The handset in question should be called the Oppo A98 and its launch seems near as it has already bagged several certifications, including NBTC, TDRA, and CQC. In the latest development, the mid-range smartphone has appeared on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification website. Here are the details.

Oppo A98 is expected to debut as a mid-range smartphone with some impressive features. You can expect the device to carry an immersive display, a premium design, and a decent processor. It should arrive as the successor to the Oppo A97, which was unveiled last summer in China. Circling back to the smartphone’s SIRIM listing, it has been spotted with the model number CPH2529. The listing itself isn’t anything interesting but it hints at a nearby launch of the device.

Previous listings of the device have revealed it will support 67W fast charging and offers 5G connectivity. Notably, a TENAA listing from last year revealed the handset will sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with an integrated fingerprint scanner and a Full HD+ resolution. We expect the smartphone to offer at least a 90hz refresh rate. While it is unclear which chipset will power the device, the listing revealed it will be a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

The smartphone is believed to be fueled by a 4,690mAh battery pack. In the rear camera department, it will get a 108MP primary camera accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor. The front may get a 16MP selfie shooter. Currently, there’s no official confirmation from the brand so take these specs with a pinch of salt.

Samsung making MacBook Air OLED panels, despite competition with its own Galaxy Books

Apple MacBooks offer top-class performance and their displays are also pretty decent, but not as good as some of the Windows laptops that use OLED panels. Samsung currently leads the pack with its Galaxy Book laptops that boast an impressive AMOLED panel. However, the Cupertino company reportedly has plans to release OLED MacBooks by the end of 2024, and what’s interesting is that Samsung will be the one manufacturing the displays for these upcoming laptops.

The Elec reports that Samsung has begun developing OLED panels for the 13.3-inch Apple MacBook Air. Although, it is unclear whether and when the MacBook Air, for which Samsung is developing a display, will actually be released. If past reports are to be believed, Apple will unveil the said OLED laptops by the end of 2024.

Galaxy Book 3 Series

When compared to Mini-LED, which is currently used by many laptops, including the ones by Apple, OLED boasts several advantages. For one, it is thinner, more versatile, and lighter in weight. Additionally, OLED displays offer sharper images, more vibrant colors, and higher refresh rates.

Samsung’s Korean rival— LG display— is apparently facing manufacturing constraints. LG is currently developing both 11-inch and 13-inch iPad OLEDs that Apple plans to release next year, so it doesn’t have the production capacity for other panels, reports The Elec. On the other hand, Samsung is reportedly only working on an 11-inch iPad model for Apple, which means it has the capacity to manufacture panels for the MacBook Air as well.

Samsung’s development of OLED panels for MacBooks could provide Apple with an opportunity to challenge the Korean company’s Galaxy Books in the display department.

Tesla launches ‘GigaBier’: A limited edition $30 beer inspired by the Cybertruck

Tesla has launched its limited edition Cybertruck-inspired beer in the European market. The $30 beer named ‘GigaBier’ is a pilsner-style beer brewed with an exclusive strain of Cyberhops and features notes of citrus, bergamot, and sweet fruit. Each bottle features a seamless gloss black sleeve with a glow-in-the-dark Giga watermark.

The company said that Tesla GigaBier is designed to emulate the form of Cybertruck while honoring the 500-year tradition of German Reinheitsgebot beermaking. Soon after announcing the launch of their new product at Giga Fest, Tesla trademarked both “Giga Beer” and “Giga Bier.” As of now, the product is only available for purchase in Europe, where it is produced in Germany and sold as a three-pack for €89 ($97.06). Each can of Tesla’s GigaBier has a 5 percent ABV and contains approximately 330ml, which is just over 11 oz. Tesla has filed for registration of the product through the US Patent Office, but it is not yet available for purchase in the US.

The beer is the second alcoholic beverage sold by Tesla. In 2020, Tesla launched its limited edition Tesla Tequila or ‘Teslaquila’ which was an exclusive, small-batch premium 100% de agave tequila añejo made from sustainably sourced highland and lowland agaves which were sold out in record time.  Bottles that had been previously owned were sold on various online marketplaces, such as eBay, for a price exceeding $1,000.

Tesla’s Eccentric Product Launches:

Tesla is not only known for its Electric Vehicles but also for a variety of eccentric limited-edition products that usually sell out within minutes of their launch. For instance, in 2018 Tesla launched a limited edition surfboard made of carbon fiber and designed by the Tesla Design Studio. 

The company has also launched other cool products and gadgets like a limited edition portable battery charger that resembles a miniature version of Tesla’s Supercharger, a Tesla Jacket which was a limited edition bomber jacket that featured a red Tesla logo on the chest, Tesla Radio Flyer which was a super cool limited edition electric Model S for kids designed in collaboration with Radio Flyer, Tesla Watch, Tesla Flamethrower, Tesla Bottle Opener, Cyber whistle and more. 

These limited edition or unusual products are now a part of Tesla’s brand identity and creativity which is beyond their main business of producing electric vehicles and energy solutions.

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 May Cost $200 Less Than RTX 4070Ti

GPU enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for NVIDIA to drop the RTX 4070 GFX cards, and as per the latest reports, their pricing points have just been unveiled. NVIDIA might finally look to find some common ground with its customers, since the RTX 4070 will reportedly be priced at $599, as compared to its big brother, the RTX 4070Ti, which is priced at $799.

NVIDI RTX 4070

At $599, the RTX 4070 is definitely more wallet-friendly than the RTX 4070 Ti, which had an initial price tag of $899. The Ti model was originally called RTX 4080 12GB, but after some backlash from the gaming community, NVIDIA decided to pull the card from the market. It was later rebranded and released for $799 a few weeks later.

The GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to have the same 192-bit 12GB GDDR6X memory subsystem as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, but with fewer active CUDA cores. It is unclear how well the GeForce RTX 4070 will perform as a graphics card, but it is definitely good to hear that its price point is lower than the 4070 Ti.

Interestingly, the RTX 4070 pricing seems to be on par with that of the RTX 3070 Ti, which has remained fairly consistent even after 1.5 years since its launch in June 2021. At $599, the Graphics Card would be a great option for those who are looking to upgrade to a high-performance card to support AAA titles, even for the next couple of years or more. Making PCs future-proof is a thing of the past. Even the most high-end computers of today may struggle to run the latest software and games in the future. Additionally, emerging technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning require significant processing power and specialized hardware that may not be available in current PCs. Furthermore, as new technologies continue to emerge, it is likely that they will require even more powerful hardware, rendering current systems obsolete. With the stabilizing prices of GPUs, one can at least be reassured that it won’t break the bank while spending on a new GPU upgrade in the future.
