Nothing increased the price of Ear (1) by almost 50%, now costing $149

Nothing is gearing up to launch a new pair of wireless earbuds later this month. It has been teasing the new earbuds for a few weeks now, and has also confirmed that it will launch its second TWS earbuds, called Nothing Ear (stick), on October 26. However, just a week ahead of it, Nothing has announced almost 50% price increase for its first earbuds—the Nothing Ear (1). Here are the details.

Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei took to Twitter to announce that Nothing Ear (1) will get a 50% price hike later this month. From October 26, the earbuds will be available for purchase at $149. Currently, the Nothing Ear (1) is available for $99. Justifying the price hike, Pei said, “When we started developing it, we only had 3 engineers.” A year later, we have 185. During this time, the Ear (1) has received 15 firmware and tuning updates and is a completely different product to when we launched it. The price increase is also due to rising inflation and a weaker pound sterling.

On October 26, we'll be raising the prices for Ear (1) to $149 due to an increase in costs. pic.twitter.com/jJDlaXzzJ6
— Carl Pei (@getpeid) October 18, 2022

The new price of Ear (1) will likely make the shoppers reconsider their choices. Chances are that many buyers will go for other options, like the Galaxy Buds 2 or the Pixel Buds A-series. There are several other TWS earbuds that are significantly better than the Nothing Ear (1), both in terms of audio quality and price.

To recall, the Nothing Ear (1) earbuds come with a stem design and weigh 4.7 grams each. They are equipped with an 11.6mm speaker driver and support ANC (active noise cancellation). The TWS earbuds are claimed to offer up to 5 hours of listening time with the earbuds and an additional 34 hours of playback with the charging case. Ear (1) carries support for wireless charging and comes with IPX4 sweat and water resistance.

Exec confirms the camera-centric Realme GT 2 Pro has been canceled

Oct 18, 2022

Back in December 2021, OnLeaks shared renders of a rather interesting smartphone from Realme with a horizontal camera design, somewhat similar to Google’s Pixel 6 lineup. The handset was rumored to be a camera-centric version of Realme GT 2 Pro, and the firm even confirmed its existence via a Tweet. However, today, the brand’s VP revealed that the device has been canceled. Here are the details.

Realme’s VP Chase Xu revealed through Weibo that the company has canceled the camera-centric Realme GT 2 Pro (via OnLeaks). The executive did not mention why Realme axed the plan to bring this device to the market. The handset could have performed pretty well since it generated a lot of hype due to its unusual but interesting design.

Even though the device won’t be released anymore, let’s take a moment to admire its design. As can be seen in the renders, the handset has a premium look. Its biggest highlight is the horizontal camera bar on the back, that looks like an amalgamation of Pixel 6’ and Galaxy S10’s camera islands. The module features triple cameras and dual-LED flash cutouts. The engraving in the module suggests the Realme GT 2 Pro could have had GR lenses. For the uninitiated, the GR Lens offers outstanding shooting performance in a small camera body.

In related news, Realme is reportedly gearing up to launch the Realme 10 series of smartphones in a few weeks. Initially, the lineup may include two smartphones— the Realme 10 and the Realme 10 Pro+ 5G. However, the firm may announce other models later. The handsets will likely debut as solid mid-rangers.

Infinix Note 12 5G is Unlike Other Budget 5G Smartphones

By

Oct 18, 2022

There are more affordable 5G smartphones in India than ever before. However, the cheapest models still lack certain sought-out features found on the similarly-priced 4G handsets.

But Infinix Note 12 5G is different from other affordable 5G phones. Unlike the competition, it offers almost the same or even better specs than the 4G smartphones retailing in the price segment.

It can be called an underrated product as most people don’t even know about its existence. Before we talk more about this handset, we would like to clarify that this is not a sponsored article. The opinions stated here are the author’s alone.

Infinix along with its sister brands Tecno and Itel enjoy popularity in tier 2 and tier 3 cities across India. But the same cannot be said for other parts of the country.

Hence, a feature-packed device like Ininfix Note 12 5G stays under the radar even 3 months after its release. With that out of the day, let’s take a look at what this phone has to offer.

How Infinix Note 12 5G is Different From Other Budget 5G Smartphones?

Prev Next

1. The Display

Almost all affordable 5G handsets sport LCD screens. Whereas, the Infinix Note 12 5G flaunts an AMOLED display.

The panel comes with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+). But it is worth noting that it has a dewdrop notch and older Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

Also, the refresh rate is capped at 60Hz. Most LCD panel-equipped competitors provide at least a 90Hz refresh rate.

Though we cannot say that OLED is better than LCD, it is no denying that smartphone OEMs are switching to OLED across their portfolio.

At this moment, the Infinix Note 12 5G is the only 5G smartphone under ₹15,000 to feature an AMOLED display.

2. Better Chipset

Most 5G smartphones under ₹15,000 still house a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC. There are also some models with Snapdragon 450.

On the other hand, the Infinix Note 12 5G comes powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC. A more powerful chip that is commonly found in phones priced above ₹15,000.

The only other device with this same chip in this segment is the Poco M4 Pro 5G. However, it does not offer an AMOLED display.

3. The Pricing

The Infinix Note 12 5G is sold in India in a single 6GB + 64GB memory configuration priced at ₹14,999. But during sales, the device is usually discounted by up to ₹2,000. Additionally, customers can avail of bank discounts.

At this price, it is unbeatable in terms of raw specs. Also, if you crave a 108MP main camera, there’s an expensive variant called Infinix Note 12 Pro 5G with 8GB + 128GB memory configuration priced at ₹17,999. That one usually retails at ₹15,999 during sales with additional bank discounts.

Samsung announces fastest ever LPDDR5X DRAM with up to 8.5Gbps speed

Oct 18, 2022

Samsung is close to releasing its LPDDR5X DRAM chips, which have gone through several stages of development. Samsung has now announced that the LPDDR5X DRAM has completed its validation process. The new chip has already achieved an industry milestone of 8.5 Gbps since March 2022.

The LPDDR5X DRAM is a significant improvement of the LPDDR5 and it’s a culmination of a partnership between Samsung and Qualcomm. The Samsung-Qualcomm collaboration certainly fast-tracked the development of the new chip. Its speed surpassed the previous maximum speed for DRAM which was 7,5Gbps.

Although the LPDDR5X technology is not new, it has seen some innovations even with the minimal internal redesign. The LPDDR5X technology is currently used in some smartphones but the new chips expand the utility and performance of the technology. It is a low-power consumption technology that delivers high performance. The LPDDR5X memory will achieve higher speeds with minimal internal redesigning. It is well suited for applications outside smartphones like PCs, servers, automobiles, and more.

Both Samsung and Qualcomm are excited about the completed validation of the LPDDR5X DRAM chip. Daniel Lee, EVP of the Memory Product Planning Team at Samsung, and Ziad Asghar, VP of Product Management at Qualcomm were both upbeat about the development. Samsung says the market availability of the chips was accelerated by more than a year following its collaboration with Qualcomm. There are no fine details yet for the release of the LPDDR5 DRAM commercially, but this could be very close.

Lenovo demos a Motorola rollable phone prototype at Tech World 2022

Oct 18, 2022

A Motorola rollable phone concept is part of the exciting concepts that have been showcased during Lenovo Tech World 2022. The conference is a gathering of innovative and futuristic concepts.

The Motorola Rollable Concept phone can expand vertically from a 5-inch slate to a 6.5-inch screen. The transformation is achieved using a physical button on the phone’s side. The rollable phone display has been propped up earlier by LG, but that won’t happen since LG has exited the smartphone market. The new Motorola rollable will be an improvement over previous similar concepts. It shows that there is great flexibility with OLED panels, as shown in some of the Motorola/Lenovo lineups. Content on the rollable smartphone, when rolled, will also dynamically adjust to expand the screen. The rollable phone market abounds with possibilities. We expect Lenovo and Motorola to continue research in that direction.

The possibilities of new form factors and potential use cases are quite outstanding. A rollable Lenovo laptop is in the works, and it will have a vertically expanding screen for multitasking, browsing, and other functions. Some important details of the upcoming rollable smartphones and laptops are still lacking.

The rollable OLED concept is a highly innovative and deeply involving research effort. We may be years away from seeing an actual phone with a rollable display. The optics shown by Motorola and Lenovo, however, indicate we are getting close. Some earlier models, like the ThinkPad X1 Fold 2022 and the Moto Razr series show this is a product that will likely be unveiled in no distant time.

Apple halts plans for using China’s YMTC chips over pressure from the US

Oct 18, 2022

Pressures from the US have apparently led to Apple halting some of its plans to use chip technology that originates from China. The company is now putting its plan to use YMTC (Yangtze Memory Technologies Co.) memory chips on hold.

According to a NikkeiAsia report, multiple sources close to the matter have revealed that the halting of the plan arrives after the latest rounds of US export controls that were imposed against the Chinese tech sector. Furthermore, the news is also indicative of Washington’s crackdown and is disrupting the supply chain as well. Notably, the Cupertino based giant had already completed the process to get approval to use the YMTC’s 18 layer 3D NAND flash memory and also got it certified before using it on iPhones.

However, the US government has since put out tighter restrictions around exports from China earlier this month. Interestingly, YMTC’s 128 layer chips are one or two generations behind competition like Samsung and Micron, but they are also around 20 percent cheaper than other leading rivals. Now, growing geopolitical pressure and criticism from US lawmakers have apparently led to Apple halting its plans for this deal.

As per one of the sources, “The products have been verified, but they did not go into the production lines when mass production of the new iPhone began.” Another source added that “YMTC is government-subsidized so they can really outprice competitors.” Meanwhile, Brent Fredberg Brandes Investment Partners’ director of investments stated that “Apple may continue wanting to use YMTC in the local market for China. But the way the regulations are set up currently, it’s very unlikely that YMTC will even be able to supply the kind of NAND chips in a couple of years that Apple would want.”
