G-SHOCK’s Limited-Edition Katana-Inspired MR-G Watch launched with Only 800 Pieces Worldwide

Oct 27, 2024

G-SHOCK has introduced a new limited-edition MR-G model inspired by Japanese sword-making traditions. Set for release in November 2024, this new G-SHOCK MRG-B2000JS-1A timepiece combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology, appealing to collectors with only 800 pieces available worldwide.

Craftsmanship Honoring Japanese Swordsmiths

The design of this MR-G watch draws from the Juryoku-Maru: San, a katana crafted specifically for G-SHOCK by master swordsmith Kamiyama Teruhira. The bezel, made of recrystallized titanium, reflects the edge pattern found on hand-forged blades. A blue-grey AIP coating on the case gives a similar polished look to that of the katana’s blade.

Adding a touch of tradition, the watch band features aogai-nuri, a lacquer technique with mother-of-pearl inlay, mimicking the intricate design of the sword’s scabbard. This element produces a subtle shimmering effect that changes with the light. Each watch is individually numbered and features a hand-engraved inscription on the back by Kamiyama Teruhira, adding a unique touch to every piece.

Combining Tradition with Functionality

While rich in traditional design, the MR-G model includes modern features. The dial displays a hishimaki-gara pattern, a traditional diamond shape found on sword hilts, and the watch indexes subtly reflect a blade’s curve.

For functionality, the watch includes Bluetooth connectivity, solar power, and radio-controlled timekeeping. With a sapphire crystal face and titanium alloy case and band, the watch is both scratch-resistant and impact-proof, staying true to G-SHOCK’s durability standards.

An Exclusive Collector’s Piece

This MR-G model is limited to 800 units, designed for collectors, and carries a hefty price tag of around $8,000 USD (1.1 million yen).

Asus has established a solid place for itself in the field of gaming phones with the ROG Phone series. The ROG Phone 9 FE, the budget-friendly version of the Asus ROG Phone 9 series, which is eagerly awaited by mobile game lovers, has been spotted in the GSMA database.

Asus ROG Phone 9 FE appeared with the model number “ASUS_AI2401_N”. We don’t know the specifications of the model yet. However, the ROG Phone 9 FE’s model number is similar to the Asus ROG Phone 8 series, which was introduced earlier this year. Therefore, Asus ROG Phone 9 FE is expected to be equipped with similar features to the ROG Phone 8 series. The device is expected to offer high-performance gaming experience at an affordable price.

Asus’ ROG Phone series has always stood out for its unique designs and gamer-friendly features. The ROG Phone 9 FE is sure to have a unique design as well. In particular, details such as RGB lighting and trigger buttons could be among the highlights of the device.

On the display side, a large screen with a high refresh rate is likely to be used. This will increase fluidity during gameplay, while the high touch sampling rate will allow for more precise control in games. This kind of display could offer an advantage to gamers, especially in competitive games.

In terms of hardware, judging from the model number, the Asus ROG Phone 9 FE is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. While delivering top-end performance, the device is expected to be equipped with an effective cooling system for long gaming sessions. There is also a possibility that this cooling system can be further enhanced with external accessories.

For this reason, the ROG Phone 9 FE is expected to come with a high-capacity battery with fast charging support. This will allow gamers to enjoy an uninterrupted experience for long periods of time. Although ROG Phone 9 FE is a price-performance-oriented model, this device is a candidate to attract a lot of attention by offering high-end gaming performance at an affordable price.

Oct 27, 2024

Infinix continues to attract users with a wide range of smartphones for different budgets. The brand’s highly anticipated new Infinix Note 50 series has appeared in the GSMA database and is preparing to appear with four different models: Infinix Note 50 Pro+ 5G, Infinix Note 50 Pro, Infinix Note 50, and Infinix Note 50X.

Infinix Note 50 Pro+ 5G “X6856”, Infinix Note 50 Pro “X6855”, Infinix Note 50 “X6858” and Infinix Note 50X “X6857” model numbers appear in the GSMA database. Technical specifications of the series have not yet been clarified. However, the previous version of the Infinix Note 40 series offers some clues about the new models.

The Infinix Note 40 Pro offered users a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 1300 nits brightness. The processor of the device was MediaTek Dimensity 7020. It comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.

In terms of camera, Note 40 Pro stands out with 108MP OIS-supported main camera and auxiliary cameras; the main camera stood out with a 3x lossless zoom feature. There was a 32MP selfie camera on the front. The device’s 5000mAh battery could quickly recharge with 45W fast charging and 20W wireless charging options. With IPX3 water resistance and IP5X dust resistance certificates, this device was also ambitious in terms of durability. It also comes out of the box with the Android 14-based XOS 14 interface and offers an up-to-date software experience to users.

Although the Infinix Note 40 has similar specifications to the Pro model, equipped with the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultimate processor. 8GB RAM and 256GB storage were also included in this model. Camera and battery specifications were largely the same as the Pro model.

The Infinix Note 40X, which is positioned at a lower level, comes with a 6.78-inch IPS LCD display, 120Hz refresh rate and MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. It offers up to 12GB RAM support and 256GB storage. On the camera side, comes with a dual camera setup. The 108MP main camera is accompanied by a 2MP auxiliary camera. It provided a more modest energy management with a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

In the light of this information, the Infinix Note 50 series is expected to hit the market with a similar design concept and features. However, in the Note 50 series, the Pro+ 5G model will be a strong player especially in the middle segment. The 4G version will be offered with a different processor, but there will be no major changes in other key features. The Note 50 will be simpler and more price-performance oriented than the Pro models, while the Infinix Note 50X is expected to reach the user with more basic features for the lower-mid segment.

With the launch of the Infinix Note 50 series, a great competition is expected to take place, especially in the middle segment. Although the launch date is not yet finalized, the series is expected to be introduced in 2025. With these new models, we expect Infinix to offer a series that attracts attention especially with price-performance balance.

Oct 27, 2024

While the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy A56 is still months away, early details about its camera specifications have emerged.

Camera Upgrades

The Galaxy A56 is expected to feature a similar camera setup to its predecessors, with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro lens. However, Samsung is reportedly making a significant change to the front camera, upgrading from the aging 32MP sensor to a 12MP sensor. This move will likely improve selfie quality, especially in low-light conditions.

In terms of performance, Samsung has started testing a processor identified by model number S5E8855, codenamed “Santa,” which is expected to power the Galaxy A56. This chip is likely to debut as the Exynos 1580, a successor to the Exynos 1480 in the Galaxy A55.

The Galaxy A56 was recently spotted on the Geekbench database with a score of 1341 in single-core and 3836 in multi-core tests. This score is on par with the Snapdragon 888, the flagship Qualcomm SoC powering 2021 smartphones.

Samsung is also extending its update policy for the Galaxy A56, which is similar to the Galaxy A16. This will provide the device with six years of updates, including six major Android upgrades, positioning the Galaxy A56 as a longer-lasting choice for users who want software longevity in a mid-range device.

Pricing details are still unknown, but the Galaxy A56 is expected to fall in the €450–€500 range, aligning with previous models in the A5x series.
