DJI gifts the new DJI Inspire One to James Cameron

DJI is without any doubt the world leader in camera drones and quadcopters. We have seen many great drones from this Chinese giant, which are much more precise and advanced than competitors.

DJI Inspire One James Cameron
Recently, DJI decided to gift a brand new DJI Inspire One to a great director, James Cameron. He is one of the best directors in Hollywood right now, having directed popular movies such as the Terminator, the Titanic and Avatar.

DJI posted a picture on their Weibo page, which showed James Cameron with the new DJI Inspire One. The post said that the company was looking forward to the director’s new work.

Camera equipped drones are increasingly becoming a part of the movie industry, as they can take aerial shots from angles that’s not even possible with helicopters. Before the advent of quadcopters, the only option for shooting an aerial action shot was with the help of an helicopter, but that brought a lot of issues such as safety, angle limitations etc.

Directors are increasingly relying on drones for such shots, as it brings down the cost and makes the movie set safer. In fact, many of the aerial action shots in the movie Expendables were filmed using drones.

While we have yet to see the widespread use of drones in film making mainly due to the legal limitations, UAVs such as the DJI Inspire One clearly shows that such drones can be powerful enough for professional shoots.

But drones such as the Inspire One are costly, and their price can easily go up to $3500. In fact, on banggood, the 4K equipped DJI Inspire One is listed for a whopping $3300.

 

Coolpad to announce a new Dazen phone with amazing battery life?

Back in January, Coolpad unveiled a brand new flagship device which showed off the workmanship and design philosophy of the company. The Dazen X7 featured a beautiful design with double sided glass and an aluminum frame.

dazen

Looks like the company is all set to announce another Dazen device in the market. While we have very little information about this upcoming device, it is said that the phone will have long lasting battery.

The existing Dazen X7 features a 2700 mAh battery inside a 6.5mm which is an impressive feat. However, given its 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display, the battery life on the device won’t be so good. Hence, Coolpad could be looking to work on this area with this upcoming device.

The teaser released by the company says that the device will be announced on 19th March 2015. The picture in the teaser looks like a powerbank with two microUSB ports. While its possible that the company may announce a new power bank, it could also represent the long lasting battery on the device. Also, its possible that the large battery on the phone helps it to act as a power bank to other devices.

As you can see, not much is clear about the upcoming smartphone, so its best to wait for the official launch which isn’t too far off.

 

Apple Watch may come in three new material options in 2015

Last year, Apple announced its first wearable in the market, the Apple Watch. And if the company is to follow its regular schedule, it will release a new edition of the Apple Watch by fall 2015.

apple watch new

Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analysts at KGI securities recently said that Apple may release as many as three new casing for its new watch this year. These new materials are expected to go into mass production in Q4 2015 and may even be announced by the holiday season this year.

Unfortunately, Kuo didn’t specify what could be the new materials. But according to a recent report, Apple experimented with a platinum casing for its new watch. Platinum is much more premium than gold, which may translate into even higher price tag than the existing Apple Watch editions which start at $10,000.

Other possible materials include titanium, white gold, ceramic or even carbon fiber. There are even custom options like Rolex’s “Rolesor” and Hublot’s “Magic Gold”, but that’s not likely to end up in the next generation Apple wearable.

Kuo further adds in a report that Apple could sell anywhere between 15 million to 20 million units of its new watch this year. The shipments are expected to grow at a much higher rate for its second and third generation models.

Kuo has built up a reputation of predicting accurate information about Apple in the past. So, this report about new materials for the Apple Watch may come true.

 

 

 

 

 

SAIC and Alibaba invest $1 billion in the Internet Car Fund

Last year, SAIC, China’s leading automobile company entered into a partnership with Alibaba to develop internet enabled smart cars. Earlier today, both the companies jointly set up an Internet Car Fund of $1 billion to further speed up its research and development. This is an open capital fund which means other companies too are encouraged to invest and participate in the development of Internet cars.

saic alibaba internet car

The companies are said to be focusing on the needs of the user while developing such a car. SAIC Chief Engineer Cheng said that Internet will become an important aspect of a user’s car and travel plans. Wang Jian, Alibaba’s CTO also said that internet enabled cars will not only help people communicate effectively with their vehicles but also enable other cars to communicate with each other. This will further help in the development of unmanned vehicles in the future.

The partnership also aims to develop a new automobile ecosystem with relevant applications.

Last year’s press release gave us some idea about the plans of the company.

“Targeting end-user experience, the two companies will integrate Alibaba’s Yun operating system, big data, Ali communication, Autonavi navigation technology, Aliyun cloud computing and Xiami music with SAIC Motor’s resources in car and parts R&D and auto service trade, open and merge Internet and big data services. They will also provide users with smart travel solutions through combining and optimizing the two companies’ online and offline resources.”

The first internet car as a result of this partnership is expected to hit the markets by 2016.

 

 

ZTE Nubia Z9 spotted running AnTuTu benchmark

ZTE has an official event on March 26 where it will unveil a number of devices in the Z series lineup like the ZTE Nubia Z9 and the Z9 Max. While we patiently wait for the official announcement, the device was recently spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark test which revealed most of the important specs of the device.

The ZTE Nubia Z9 with the model number NX510J will reportedly feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB RAM. There will be a 5.2-inch display with a full HD 1080p resolution. The rear camera will be of 16MP while the front shooter of 5MP. Finally, the listing reveals that the phone will run on the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update.

While the specs look high end, the older flagship model, i.e. the ZTE Nubia Z7 featured a 5.5-inch 2K display panel. So, it would make no sense for ZTE to bring down the size as well as the resolution on its successor.

nubia z9 benchmark

Also, according to the picture leaked on Weibo by the Ubuntu team, the device which ran this test had thick bezels, which is the exact opposite of what recent leaks and rumors say about the ZTE Nubia Z9. Several images claiming to be the Z9 flagship revealed a bezel-less design. So, its very likely that this is a new model in the Z9 lineup, which could end up as the ZTE Nubia Z9 mini.

The company usually announces three different variants in the Z series and the specs is probably of the smaller Mini version.

Anyways, we will have to wait only for a few more days to get full details about the upcoming ZTE devices. So stay tuned.

The SoC has a built in Tensilica HiFi 3 DSP and an ISP which supports sensors up to 32MP. Like the Kirin 925, the new Kirin 930 too features the i3 co-processor. Other features include support for LTE Cat.6, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, Dual Band Wi-Fi, USB 2.0. The processor was expected to hit the markets by Q2 2015 and will most likely end up on the upcoming Huawei P8 flagship.

Luckily, we have some details about the upcoming Kirin 940 and 950 processors too. Our source tells us that the Kirin 940 which is expected to be announced by Q3 2015 will feature four Cortex A53 and four Cortex A72 cores clocked up to 2.2GHz. If you remember, the Cortex A72 is the latest launch from ARM which is very powerful yet power efficient. The GPU will be upgraded to Mali T860 and it will support dual-channel LPDDR4 RAM. The HiFi DSP gets upgraded to Tensilica HiFi 4 and the processor will have dual ISP which supports up to 32MP sensor. Kirin 940 is expected to bring native 10bit 4K Main 10 HEVC VP9 Encoding and Decoding. It will feature the new i7 co-processor and will support dual SIM cards with LTE Cat. 7 connectivity.

Unlike the Kirin 940 which is expected to be a big upgrade to the Kirin 930, the Kirin 950 will only have slight modifications. Our source tells us that the SoC will use the same Cortex A53 + Cortex A72 combination but will bump up the clock speed to 2.4GHz. Other important upgrades include a newer Mali T880 GPU, support for Cat. 10 LTE networks and Dual ISPs which now support up to 42MP sensors. Most of the remaining specs of the processor are expected to be the same as the Kirin 940.

Remember that this news comes via a new source, so it may happen that some of the details of the upcoming SoCs turn out different. Hence, make sure that you take this news with a pinch of salt. Still it looks like Huawei is all set to strengthen its processor lineup this year with faster and power efficient chips.

Redmi Note 2 Images Leaked with a Bigger display

The specs rumured of the phone is also great, It has a Snapdragon 615 with 2GB of RAM . It is running MIUI6 based on Android 4.4.4. It will have a 5.7″ IPS LCD display protected with OGS Glass (Similar to Corning gorilla glass 3). As for connectivity options, the phone is said to feature dual microSIM slots and will support GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz; WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100MHz, FDD LTE: 1800/2100/2600MHz. Yes, it is rumored to have FDD-LTE support which it compatible with a lot of country’s 4G network band.

eg

 

As this version is a 4G version, we may see a 3G version with a MediaTek processor but for now, there is no information on that. Redmi Note is one of the top selling phones in china in the phablet category and with Redmi Note 2, Xiaomi may set a new benchmark. If the size of the phone increase, the size of battery will also increase, Hence we can expect a battery of around 4000mAh, which could make phone easily last for 2 days. There are also some rumors going on that it may have NFC and Finger Print Scanner.

Qihoo 360 CEO said to be working on the best smartphone in the world?

Yesterday evening, while reporting its earnings for Q4 2014, Zhou Hongyi, the CEO and founder Qihoo 360, revealed some interesting details about the company’s plans for mobile business.

qihoo360_500

Qihoo 360 is a well known internet security company known for its anti-virus software and web browser. The company has over 496 million users for its internet security software as of June 2014 and 641 million mobile users.

Zhou revealed that the company is working with Coolpad to launch a revolutionary smartphone brand in the market. Coolpad’s supply chain sources will be responsible for developing the hardware on the new phone, while Qihoo 360 will focus on developing the software of the device.

Last December, the company invested about $400 million in a Joint Venture with Coolpad for developing a brand new ecosystem for mobile devices. So, this news doesn’t come as a surprise.

Since Qihoo 360 is an internet security company, Zhou is aiming to develop the new OS into a much more secure platform than competitors like Android and iOS. The company has over 10 years of experience in internet security and it could use its expertise to streamline the new OS. He said that the new operating system will be called as the SEAL and will be safe from the core. However, he didn’t mention whether SEAL will be an entirely new OS or based on an existing platform like Android.

Apart from the security features, the new OS is also said to be fast. It will come with options such power saving mode to attract users. As mentioned above, Qihoo has a lot of loyal fans, which could turn into potential buyers of this new device.

However, software won’t be the only selling point of the device. Zhou claims that the new phone will feature the best tech specs in the market. Naturally, price won’t be cheap. The retail price could exceed well over 5000 Yuan ($798) but he says that the company does not plan to profit from the phone’s hardware.

Clearly, the new smartphone brand will be targeted at high end users who like the best hardware as well as a secure environment for their phones. He has not yet revealed the name of the device, but it is said that the phone will launch sometime after June 2015.

There’s still plenty of things unclear about the device, such as the exact configuration and security features, but expect more details in the next few months.

So, would you be willing to spend over $800, even for a phone that’s highly secure and comes with top end hardware?

ZTE Nubia Z9 Leak 2

The pictures leaked by a known leakster, Leaksfly reveals the bezel-less display of the ZTE Nubia Z9. Unlike other phones which claim to have super slim bezels, it looks like the Z9 has no bezels at all. To be honest, the display looks somewhat like the one on Sharp Aquos Crystal, which was also bezel-less. If this is indeed the final model, then surely it would be the selling point of the device.
