Huawei P60 Pro will launch next week on March 23 along with the vanilla P60. As the higher-end model in the series, the handset is expected to bring many interesting features. For one, it may feature Apple’s Dynamic Island-like selfie module. The P60 Pro should also bring impressive cameras for photography. It has been claimed that the handset will arrive with a new type of telephoto lens that would produce better night photos. Here are the details.

Sources from China have revealed that the Huawei P60 Pro will arrive with a new patented technology on the telephoto lens. It is expected to enhance the telephoto shooting capabilities, allowing the smartphone to take more detailed pictures in low light. Separately, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei CBG, stated that the handset will be able to take a picture with the sun in the frame while managing to keep details of other objects.

The exec also shared a picture to back his claims. A promotional video also showcased the Huawei P60 Pro’s remarkable ability to capture detailed images of the moon, which even appear to challenge the fundamental laws of optics and physics. But, don’t believe everything you hear about moon photography from companies – it often turns out to be not as amazing as they say.

According to previous reports, the Huawei P60 Pro main camera will be a first-of-a-kind 50-megapixel Sony IMX888 with a 1/1.4″ large bottom that supports f/1.4-4.0 variable aperture and OIS optical stabilization. The handset may also get a 64-megapixel OV64B periscope telephoto lens that supports 3.5x optical zoom and a classic RYYB array. A 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 (1/2.51″) ultra-wide-angle lens could also be present on the rear of the P60 pro.

Huawei is gearing up to host a major launch event in China later this month. However, prior to this conference, a mysterious new smartphone model was recently spotted on the TENAA certification website.

For those unaware, any device that will launch in China has to pass through TENAA, which means that this unknown handset model is set to launch soon. In other words, it is likely that the Chinese tech giant could launch this device during this event. Looking at the TENAA (China’s Telecommunication Equipment’s Network Access Management) listing, we can see that Huawei is working on a new smartphone that carries the model number STG-AL00. With the Huawei Enjoy 60 series expected to launch soon, this device could be a part of this new lineup.

Mar 15, 2023

Honor has applied for a new patent that could transform the way we monitor our app usage. This innovative patent proposes a method for displaying dynamic wallpapers on mobile phones that reflect the user’s app usage time. The idea is to generate wallpapers with customizable graphics that represent the user’s app usage habits, where the size of each graphic reflects the amount of time spent on each app. Here are the details.

As discovered by ITHome on China’s State Intellectual Property Office website, Honor’s latest patent proposes a new method for displaying wallpapers on a mobile phone’s screen that is based on the user’s app usage time. It will apparently generate wallpapers with graphics that represent the user’s app usage, where the size of each graphic reflects the amount of time spent on each app.

Let’s try to put it simply. If a user spends more time on social media apps than on productivity apps, the wallpaper will display larger graphics for social media and smaller graphics for productivity apps. The benefit of this method is that it adds visual character to the phone’s screen while also providing a simple way for users to understand their app usage habits.

By simply looking at the wallpaper, users will be able to see which apps they use the most and which ones they use less frequently. This information can be useful for people who want to monitor and manage their screen time or improve their productivity by spending more time on specific apps. Overall, this patent proposes an innovative way to enhance the user’s mobile experience and provide valuable insights into app usage habits.

Mar 15, 2023

We have already covered various reports that hint at the next gen Apple A17 Bionic being based on TSMC‘s cutting edge 3nm process node. But now, a new report has revealed that the company is looking to acquire most of the 3nm process of the world’s largest contract chipmaker.

For those unaware, the A17 Bionic is the next gen chipset that will power the iPhone 15 Pro models later this year. It will be based on the 3nm process from TSMC, which would make the iPhone the only smartphone to feature a 3nm based chip this year. TSMC will produce the chips with its advanced N3E process node in the second half of this year. The newer N3E process is cheaper than the previous N3 process, so it would lower the cost for its various clients.

In other words, brands like Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm would rush to put in their orders in the latest 3nm process node. However, it appears that the Cupertino based giant is looking to acquire most of the new 3nm process for its proprietary chips. The next gen chips based on the N3E will be more power efficient while offer faster clock speeds, with 15 percent better performance with 30 to 30 percent lowered power consumption.

As of right now, Apple is already the largest customer of TSMC, accounting for 25 percent of TSMC’s annual revenue. A new report from EDN Asia has revealed that the 3nm chip production has hit the 80 percent yield rate. High yields basically mean than more chips pass quality control and help the company save up on production cost.

GPT-4 OpenAI’s Latest Model Claims to Outperform Humans in Exams

By

Mar 15, 2023

OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT and some other popular artificial intelligence, has announced the release of its latest AI model, the GPT-4. The company claims that this new AI model is a significant milestone in its deep learning research and that can outperform humans in many area. According to OpenAI, GPT-4 exhibits “human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks.” Here are the details…

OpenAI Unveils GPT-4, A Deep Learning Model That Outperforms Humans In Exams

According to OpenAI, GPT-4 is capable of passing a simulated bar exam in the top 10% of test takers, while its predecessor, GPT-3.5 (the basis of ChatGPT), only scored around the bottom 10%. GPT-4 also performed well on various other exams, like the SAT Math test (scoring 700 out of 800). However, it scored only 2 on the AP English Language and Composition exam (14th to 44th percentile).

It’s important to note that GPT-4 is a regurgitation engine that draws upon material it was trained on to address a query. Although it may recall details for exams, its accuracy can vary. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that GPT-4 is still flawed and limited, and may seem more impressive on first use than after spending more time with it.

GPT-4 is a large multimodal model designed to accept queries via text and image inputs, with answers returned in text. It is being made available initially via the wait-listed GPT-4 API and to ChatGPT Plus subscribers in a text-only capacity, as image-based input is still being refined. Despite the addition of a visual input mechanism, OpenAI is not being open about or providing visibility into the making of its model. The company has chosen not to release details about its size, how it was trained, nor what data went into the process.

In a live stream on YouTube, Greg Brockman, president and co-founder of OpenAI, demonstrated the difference between GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 by asking the models to summarize the OpenAI GPT-4 blog post in a single sentence where every word begins with the letter “G.” GPT-3.5 did not try, while GPT-4 returned “GPT-4 generates ground-breaking, grandiose gains, greatly galvanizing generalized AI goals.”

Brockman also had GPT-4 generate the Python code for a Discord bot, as well as HTML and JavaScript code for a hand-drawn mockup of a jokes website sent to Discord. Finally, Brockman set up GPT-4 to analyze 16 pages of US tax code to return the standard deduction for a couple, Alice and Bob, with specific financial circumstances. OpenAI’s model responded with the correct answer and an explanation of the calculations involved.

While GPT-4 is an impressive achievement, its development raises concerns about the lack of transparency and potential consequences of large-scale models like GPT-4.

Though the demand has eased with the end of the pandemic, OEMs continue to introduce new products. In fact, multiple new brands have started entering this category.

Thus, we are not surprised to learn about the launch of a new tablet by Hisense. This tablet is not only rugged by design but also offers 5G connectivity.

Hisense is well-known for its televisions worldwide. However, the company also sells tablets in select countries.

It has now released a new Android tablet in its home market China. The device is officially called the ‘Hisense P50 5G Rugged Tablet’.

Samsung has announced the launch of the Galaxy S23 Enterprise Edition in Australia, aimed at providing businesses with more advanced enterprise tools. The Enterprise Edition models are the same as the regular S23 models in terms of hardware but come with additional features that cater to the needs of businesses. It’s important to note that only Galaxy S23 and S23 Ultra variants are available, the Plus model is not included in the Enterprise Edition.

One of the standout features of the Galaxy S23 Enterprise Edition is the one-year subscription to the Samsung Knox Suite, which provides multi-layer protection against malware, hacking, and other cyber threats. The suite also allows IT departments to manage a fleet of phones remotely, deploy updates and device configurations, and analyze and get status information on phones and tablets in the field, among other things.

In addition to the Knox Suite, the Enterprise Edition models come with pre-installed Microsoft and Google cloud productivity tools, making it easier for businesses to manage their work on the go. However, it’s important to note that editing Microsoft Office documents still require a license.

The Galaxy S23 Enterprise Edition models will be available for two years after launch, and Samsung will supply critical OS updates and security patches for up to five years. Pricing details for the Enterprise Edition models have not been announced, but they will likely be acquired through bulk orders, with each company negotiating its own deal.

Garry McGregor, Vice President of the Mobile Experience Division, at Samsung Electronics Australia, said, “Businesses need devices that are not only powerful and secure but also easy to use and manage.” The Galaxy S23 Enterprise Edition is aimed at fulfilling these needs and providing businesses with a device that is not only secure but also efficient in managing their work on the go.

Mar 15, 2023

Vivo is gearing up to launch a new tablet model, which will be the successor to its original Pad model. But ahead of any official announcement, a new leak has revealed some of the key specification of the Vivo Pad 2.

Previously, we had reported on a Google Play Supported Devices List sighting of the Pad 2. This revealed the PA2373 model number of the tablet. It was believed that this device could feature Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, the latest leak from known tipster Digital Chat Station has hinted otherwise. The specs leak claims that the Chinese tech giant’s Pad 2 model will be equipped with MediaTek high end Dimensity 9000 chipset.

While the original Vivo Pad model featured an 11 inch IPS LCD panel, it appears that the Pad 2 will sport a taller 12 inch LCD panel that supports 144Hz refresh rate. This display will likely have a high resolution similar to its predecessor that had a 2560 x 1600px resolution. Apart from this, the tipster claims that the upcoming flagship tablet model will also be powered by a large battery pack, but did not reveal the exact battery capacity of this model.

The original Pad model ran on a massive 8,040mAh battery pack so we can expect a similar battery size on its successor. We can also expect certain other specs to make a return like the quad speaker system for an improved audio experience. The original model had a dual camera setup on the rear, which could see an upgrade or see a rise in camera sensor count. We can also see an upgrade on the 8 megapixel selfie shooter that was found on the older model. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report so stick around for more updates.

Nothing is gearing up to announce the successor to its first product, the Ear (1), later this month. But ahead of the Ear (2)‘s official launch, the company’s CEO has confirmed some of its features. So let’s have a look.

The company’s CEO Carl Pei revealed certain features of the upcoming Ear (2) truly wireless earbuds in an interview earlier this week. Here, he claimed that the next gen hearables will seek to offer a more premium experience. Furthermore, he confirmed two of the features that the Ear (2) will ship with. One of them is the Ip54 water and dust resistance, which is a welcomed upgrade over the Ear (1) that only came with IPX4 rating. Meanwhile, the Ear (Stick) also offers IP54 protection.

Apart from this, the executive also added that the new Nothing Ear (2) model will also support LHDC 5.0 audio codec. This means that it will feature hi-res audio streaming, which is again an upgrade over the AAC audio codec support on the company’s existing 2 earbuds. Unfortunately, this was all the information shared by the brand’s CEO in the interview. Although, previous reports have hinted at some of their other specifications.

Based on what we know so far, the Ear (2) will house an 11.6mm audio drivers similar to its predecessor and retain its transparent design as well. The earbuds will likely still support wireless charging and offer up to 36 hours of battery life with 6 hours from the earbuds alone when ANC is turned off. The company will launch the Ear (2) on March 21, so stick around for more as we will be covering the launch event.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Users Report Jittery Animations Issue

The Samsung Galaxy S23 range of smartphones is known for being one of the most advanced and feature-rich products on the market, created by the Korean technology giant. However, there appears to be a group of users who are dissatisfied with its performance. Based on information shared on social media and forums, some Galaxy S23 users have reported encountering jittery animations when scrolling through third-party applications like Reddit, WhatsApp, Twitter, and YouTube.

It seems that the problem is not widespread and only impacts certain users, and its root cause may or may not be connected to the security update released in February 2023. There is a possibility that the issue might be associated with a third-party application or another factor that has not been identified yet. Moreover, the problem is not confined to third-party apps, since some users have observed scrolling delays even on Samsung’s own Galaxy Store application.

According to SamMobiles‘ report, the refresh rate of the screen falls below 60Hz in Samsung’s proprietary app store. This leads to a slower scrolling experience on the Galaxy Store compared to mid-range Samsung devices that do not have a refresh rate greater than 60Hz.

Animations that are jittery and inconsistent can be an unpleasant and aggravating experience for users who expect a seamless and effortless operation from their high-end device. Some users have put forward a couple of potential fixes to address the problem, such as restarting the phone, erasing the cache, deactivating RAM Plus, or switching to a 60Hz refresh rate. Nevertheless, these remedies may not be effective for everyone or may necessitate compromising on other functionalities.

Samsung has yet to formally recognize or confront the problem at hand. We trust that the corporation will promptly release a software update to resolve the problem of unsteady animations for all Galaxy S23 users. In the meantime, if you are experiencing this difficulty on your device, you may experiment with some of the suggested solutions or seek help from Samsung support.

Leak Reveals Four New Colors of Huawei P60 Pro

Huawei is set to unveil its latest P60 series on March 23, and new color variants have recently been leaked. According to a Weibo tipster, the P60 Pro will come in four new color variants: Emerald Green, Rococo White, Feather Purple, and Feather Black. These colors are said to be eye-catching and will be complemented by a metal aperture around the camera module.

The P60 Pro is expected to have a premium design, and it is rumored that Huawei may use frost or new glass material for its construction. While there have been many leaks about the P60 series, these new color variants are particularly exciting. Huawei is known for its sleek and minimalist designs, and the addition of bold color options could attract a new demographic of consumers.

However, it’s worth noting that the authenticity of the leaked color variants has not been confirmed. In the past, Huawei has not typically offered bright and bold color options, so it remains to be seen if these leaked color variants will make it to the final product.

Previous leaks have shown six different color options for the P60 series, including Black, White, Pink, Grey, Blue, and Orange. The new color variants appear to be an upgrade to these options, with more vibrant and striking choices.

It’s unclear if the new color variants will be available for both the P60 and P60 Pro models. However, given that the leaked images show a metal aperture around the camera module, it’s likely that these new color options are for the higher-end P60 Pro model.

The highly anticipated P60 Pro is rumored to feature a 6.6-inch 2K BOE OLED display and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, along with a memory combination of LPDDR5X+UFS4.0.

Additionally, reports suggest that the P60 Pro will have an impressive triple-camera setup with an upgrade to XMAGE 2.0. The primary 50MP Sony IMX888 sensor, 50MP Sony IMX858 ultra wide-angle sensor, and a third telephoto camera featuring a 64MP OV64B Omnivision sensor with 3.5x optical zoom, promise to offer a range of photography options.
