Twitter has finally agreed to Elon Musk‘s offer. So now, the Tesla CEO is the sole owner of the company. In a recent press release, the social media giant announced that Elon Musk has bought the company for a sizeable sum of 44 billion US Dollars.
As per the press release, the microblogging website stated that the Tesla and SpaceX Founder has bought the company at 54.20 US Dollars a share. In other words, this is the same as the initial offer that Musk had offered earlier this month. Through this purchase, Twitter will now become a privately held company by the time the acquisition is completed. At the moment, the deal is expected to close in 2022 and is subject to approval from Twitter stockholders, the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and more.
After the announcement, Elon even tweeted out saying that “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans.”
Notably, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal addressed his employees, stating that no layoffs were planned “at this time.” Although, some of the employees have expressed their discontentment with Musk buying the platform. Agrawal told his employees that “There is indeed uncertainty about what will happen after the deal closes.” Earlier this month, the Tesla CEO owned 9.2 percent of the company, but just a few weeks after, this number jumped to 100 percent.

If you thought that Vivo X Fold and Vivo X Note were the only Vivo top-tier flagships for this quarter of the year, you were wrong. A few hours ago, the Blue Factory came up with the new Vivo X80 Series composed of the Vivo X80 and the Vivo X80 Pro. The company decided not to launch the Pro+ variant: it will come later, sometime in Q3 2022. Meanwhile, we know all the specifications of the other two variants just announced for the Chinese market, and we also know that they will hit the global market as well. This comparison will highlight the difference between their specifications in order to let you understand which one is the best device for your needs.

There are only minor differences in the designs of the Vivo X80 and the Vivo X80 Pro: if you look at each of them alone, you won’t be able to distinguish them. The only important difference when it comes to aesthetics is the size of the rear camera module. These flagships went official in three different color variants with three different materials for the rear side: the blue version has a rear side made of AG glass, the black one has a ceramic back, and the orange one is made of vegan leather. Which material do you prefer?
Display
One of the most important advantages of the Vivo X80 Pro if compared to the vanilla version is the display. This handset comes with an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.78 inches sporting a Quad HD+ resolution and the LTPO 2 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The vanilla version has a lower Full HD+ resolution and it lacks the LTPO 2 technology, so its level of detail will be lower and its energy consumption will be higher. But the vanilla version still comes with a great AMOLED display including an in-display fingerprint reader and a 120 Hz refresh rate.
Specs & Software
The Vivo X80 Pro comes in two variants with different chipsets: one is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 mobile platform and the other is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The chip is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The vanilla version will be only available with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM. Given that, according to benchmarks, the Dimensity 9000 is a stronger chipset than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the hardware comparison is a draw. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box, customized by OriginOS. Once they will hit the global market, these handsets will run Funtouch OS 12 based on Android 12.
Camera
The Pro variant is called Vivo X80 Pro especially due to its superior camera setup. It has a Samsung ISOCELL GNV main sensor with a 50 MP resolution and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto sensor for portraits with 2x optical zoom, an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 48 MP Sony IMX598 ultrawide lens. The vanilla version replaces the Samsung ISOCELL GNV sensor with a Sony IMX866 coming with the same resolution, it retains the telephoto sensor but it lacks the periscope camera, and the ultrawide sensor is an inferior 12 MP snapper.
The Vivo X80 Pro comes with a bigger battery sporting a capacity of 4700 mAh and, unlike the vanilla version, it supports fast wireless charging, with a power of 50W. The Vivo X80 has a smaller 4500 mAh battery and it only features 80W fast wired charging.
Price
The starting price of the Vivo X80 in China roughly translates into €527/$565, while you need at least $840/€784 to purchase the Pro variant. This said, the Pro variant is waterproof and it offers a better display, superior cameras, and a bigger battery with wireless charging. Would you spend more on these features?
The new Asus ProArt Display PA147CDV is slated for release later this year. The portable monitor bears some remarkable semblance to the Duo lineup of laptops. It is a 14-inch touchscreen that can act as a secondary display for creative users. It has a small form factor and a 32:9 aspect ratio which is quite expansive.
The ProArt Display PA147CDV is currently being showcased at the 2022 NAB show in Las Vegas, United States. It is slated for a second-quarter release this year. The new Asus external monitor will debut first in North America although no price information is available at this time. The Asus ProArt Display monitor supports Microsoft’s Pen Protocol 2.0 and will be adaptable to Microsoft’s Surface Dial due to its built-in dial functionality. The display is equipped with an HDMI port and two USB-C ports. It also comes with a stand that enables either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
For the Asus ProArt Display PA147CDV to be inviting to its target customer base, it must be affordable and compact. As it is, it sits snugly between a conventional bulky second monitor or a touchscreen tablet. The pricing will be a major driver of demand for the ProArt Display PA147CDV.
Xiaomi‘s Redmi brand made its entry into the smart monitor market in 2020 with the launch of the Redmi Display 1A. Since then, the company has gone on to launch a number of high-end displays, including gaming monitors but none in the same price category as the 1A. Looks like the company will soon release another affordable smart display.
A certification listing spotted on Certipedia shows that a Redmi display believed to be the Redmi Display 1A Pro has been certified for low blue light by TUV Rheinland. This means the device will feature a similar display as the 1A which filters out harmful blue light.
The entire specs of the Redmi Monitor 1A aren’t known, we expect the monitor to some with some improvement over its predecessor. The display may feature a 144Hz or even higher refresh rate. We also expect features such as AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync functionality as well.
Xiaomi may likely not alter the design of the Pro version markedly from the Redmi Display 1A. However, we expect a refreshed specs lineup. The pricing will likely be higher than that of the Display 1A which is presently listed on Xiaomi Mall for 700 Yuan. The Redmi Display 1A Pro may come in slightly higher.
Back in June 2021, OnePlus officially announced its merger with OPPO. OnePlus customers and fans alike were divided by this decision with many believing that the brand will lose its identity over time.
Although OnePlus merged its operating system codebase with OPPO’s ColorOS and the Chinese OnePlus devices come with ColorOS out of the box, the brand has largely been able to maintain its identity. Now, in an interview, OnePlus China’s president Li Jie has shared some of the advantages that have been gained from the merger.
In an interview with NetEase Technology and other media outlets, Li Jin revealed that they are now able to expand to 10,000 offline stores overnight in China. As we know, OnePlus for the large part has been an online-focused brand with most of its sales happening online. Using OPPO’s resources, OnePlus can now expand its physical stores to 2,800 county towns, 4,000 core business districts, and more than 5,000 experience points overnight.
The company is able to do so by opening its experience stores inside of existing OPPO outlets. Usually, it takes years for a manufacturer to establish 10,000 physical stores, and it also takes a lot of capital investment. But that’s not the case for OnePlus as Li Jin explains “OPPO’s store is ready-made, the rent has been paid, and the basic salary of the experienced consultant has been paid. For us, it is only on the counter. Find an area that belongs to OnePlus, put the product on it, and if the product generates some sales or services, you will get a commission. This is the benefit of integration, and the offline cost is very low.”
Li Jie also emphasized the importance of having offline experience store sayings “Our products and brands have always emphasized workmanship and texture, including detail polishing. If there is no offline experience link, many times users don’t know or perceive it!”
Oneplus Ace
Using OPPO’s supply chain to achieve this will largely reduce the cost and investment for OnePlus. OnePlus president also pointed out many other benefits they enjoy with the merger. OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus Ace which features OPPO’s 150W SUPERVOOC fast charging. The cutting edge fast charging speed would’ve been difficult to achieve as OnePlus previously worked alone and only had one or two thousand engineers. After the integration, it cooperates with more than 10,000 engineers from OPPO expanding its R&D capabilities and increasing efficiency.
Separately, the recently launched OnePlus Ace will be rebranded for the global market and launch with the OnePlus 10R moniker in India on April 27. Check out our roundup story to learn more about the upcoming phone.
