It is an affordable, medium-sized monitor with a high refresh rate and a response time of 0.3ms.

The announcement of the LG UltraGear was done quietly by the South Korean tech powerhouse and its details were displayed on its website. Lots more details could be provided to illuminate the remarkable OLED monitor. Its ultra-high refresh rate of 240Hz is a catchy feature for the monitor. We expect the full specs sheet of the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B to be very impressive.

As per the available specs, the LG UltraGear has a 27-inch display and 98.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The OLED panel boasts a contrast ratio of 1.5 million: 1. The monitor is certified for AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync but lacks hardware acceleration for both. The monitor has an adjustable stand that can get up to 11cm.

There are two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort (versions not stated for both HDMI and DisplayPort). It also has two USB 3.0 ports (up and downstream) and a SPDIF audio jack.

Before now, most OLED monitors feature 120Hz refresh rates, and a few offered up to 175Hz like the LG 34-inch ultrawide OLEDS with 3440 x 1440 p resolution. Corsair could release a 240Hz refresh rate monitor soon but LG has nicked the top prize with the UltraGear OLED. It is a small and nimble monitor that offers sufficient capacity to display competitive FPS games seamlessly.

LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B OLED Monitor

Oppo is gearing up to launch its latest entries in its popular Reno series of smartphones. The company is set to announce the new Reno 9 lineup during the launch event on November 24, which will also be live streamed across various platforms like social media. The lineup consists of three new models, namely Reno 9, Reno 9 Pro, and Reno 9 Pro+. So here’s a rumor roundup regarding these three phones.

Oppo Reno 9

Talking about the design first, the Reno 9 series will feature a design similar to the Reno 8 series. Although the overall design still features some differences. The Reno 9 still features a sleek design with the sides possibly having a metallic frame and the rear appearing to have a glass body. But since the base Reno 8 had a plastic frame and rear, it might feature the same materials. The rear will feature a dual camera setup, which consists of a 64 megapixel primary and 2 megapixel depth sensor.

Oppo

On the front, the Reno 9 is expected to sport a 6.7 inch OLED display that has a FHD+ resolution and a high 120Hz refresh rate. This screen will also have a center aligned punch hole cutout for the 32 megapixel selfie camera on the top and an under display fingerprint scanner for security. Under the hood, the smartphone is expected to feature a Snapdragon 778G+ SoC and it could be powered by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging. The Reno 9 is expected to be offered in three storage configurations, namely 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 512 GB.

Reno 9 Pro

Moving ahead with the higher end variants, the Reno 9 Pro sits in the middle of the Reno 9 lineup and offers some improvements in specs. However, the smartphone is still pretty similar to the base model in terms of design. This model will likely feature an aluminum frame and a glass back just like its predecessor, while the front will have a 6.7 inch OLED display that also offers FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and possibly an HDR10+ rating as well. The front also houses a punch hole cutout for the 32 megapixel selfie camera.

Oppo

Meanwhile, the rear also packs a dual camera setup, which consists of a 50 megapixel Sony IM890 primary sensor paired with an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens. The “Powered by MariSilicon” can also be seen etched on the camera module of this phone. Under the hood, the Oppo Reno 9 Pro will feature a more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX that will be paired with up to 16GB of RAM with either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. This model is also expected to be powered by a 4,500mAh battery pack that will support 67W fast charging.

Reno 9 Pro+

The Reno 9 Pro+ is the top end model from the upcoming Oppo Reno 9 series. Similar to the first two models, the most premium phone in the series also feature a similar design with an aluminum frame and glass rear panel. However, a key difference in design is the addition of another sensor on the rear camera module. The Reno 9 Pro+ is set to feature a triple camera setup on the rear, which consists of a 50 megapixel Sony IMX890 primary sensor that supports OIS along with an 8 megapixel telephoto lens, and another 2 megapixel shooter.

Oppo

The front will feature a 32 megapixel camera, just like the rest of the phones in the Reno 9 series. On the front, the device will also sport a tall 6.7 inch OLED panel that has a FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, curved edges, an under display fingerprint scanner, and possibly the HDR10+ rating as well. Under the hood, this model will feature Qualcomm’s current flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc that will also be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

Google Ends APK Era for App Bundles on Google and Android TV

By
Oğuz Çakır
-

The use of smart television continues to increase. For this reason, software and hardware manufacturers are trying to improve the user experience by adding new features. Lastly, Google has made a significant change to its smart TV operating system. The company has announced that starting in May 2023, Android TV and Google TV will require apps to be bundled in the Android App Bundle (AAB) format instead of the existing APK format.

Google TV and Android TV will require app bundles from 2023

Google says this policy on Android phones has a number of benefits. According to the US tech giant, users are less likely to delete AAB programs because they allow apps to be archived. Many people may prefer to delete their apps to save space, but the archiving option eliminates this need as it saves 60% of space. AAB apps are also smaller, faster, more current, and superior to their predecessors. Of course, with this move, the company wants to eliminate the alternatives of its own app store.

All the advantages offered by the application packages are as follows:

  • App bundles save 20% more space than APKs by optimizing’s for each device.
  • App bundles allow users to archive (which reclaims 60% of app storage), so they can keep these and more apps on their TV despite limited storage.
  • App bundles are helpful for all Google Play-enabled Android devices, including TVs, phones, tablets, watches, and cars.
  • The Play Store automatically serves an optimized app for each device configuration from a single artefact containing all of your app’s code and resources.

Josh Wentz of Google TV Product Management said about the app bundles decision: “Over the past few decades, TV has transformed from linear channel surfing to on-demand content with multi-app experiences. Today, over 10,000 apps are available on Android TV OS. Less storage results in users having to uninstall apps, hindering their overall TV experience. To help with this problem and others, Android introduced App Bundles in Nov 2020. And now, Google TV and Android TV will be requiring Android App Bundles that are archivable starting in May 2023 to save storage for users.”

LG Display Announces Vibrating Panel That Turns Cars into Speakers

By

LG Display has developed a new speaker technology for cars. This product, which may not sound very impressive or exciting when we first hear it, manages to fascinate everyone with its technologies. Because these vibrating LG Display panels turn car dashboards and headrests into speakers. Moreover, the speaker takes up almost as much space as a passport.

These LG vibrating speakers turn car dashboards and headrests into speakers

LG Display is known for developing and providing display panel technologies to various companies, including LG. The speaker introduced by the company challenges conventional car audio systems. Its new speaker doesn’t use a cone, magnet, or voice coil and doesn’t require a speaker grille.

Instead, the speaker relies on what the company described as a “film-type exciter technology,” which vibrates off display panels “and various materials inside the car body” to create “3D” sound. This way, LG speakers can turn any part of your car into a speaker. LG Display claims sound quality is as good as traditional car speakers.

It was developed with an unnamed “global audio company” and is expected to be ready for car interiors in 2023. The biggest advantage of LG vibrating speakers is their size. You can get much louder and better sound quality in your car as this product does not contain space-consuming parts such as magnets.

The speaker measures 5.9×3.5×0.1 inches (150×90×2.5 mm) and weighs 1.4 ounces (40 g). In its announcement, LG Display said that’s 10 percent as thick as a typical car speaker and 30 percent the weight. LG Display said it would show off its speakers at the CES trade show in Las Vegas in January.

Both LG Display and Sony have used similar panels in OLED TVs, but that while the technology itself is not a completely new innovation, it has yet to reach its full potential.
