Earlier today, Nubia launched the Z60 Ultra Starry Night Edition smartphone in limited quantities in the global market. Unfortunately, it looks like the stock ran out as soon as it was made available to purchase.

On top of that, the Starry Night Edition was announced to be a limited-edition item in the global market, so the brand has no plans to restock it. If you missed your chance to buy the device, worry not as the Nubia Z60 Ultra Starry Night Collector Edition is still available on Giztop for $999 with global shipping.

Nubia Z60 Ultra Starry Night Edition specs:

Besides the Van Gogh-style artwork on the back, the Starry Night Edition is pretty similar to a regular Z60 Ultra smartphone. It has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with LPDDR5x RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, and runs on MyOS 14 based on Android 14. The phone features a flat 6.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate.

It packs a sizable 6,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired charging and is IP68 water and dust-resistant. The camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultrawide sensor, and a 64MP 3.2x periscope telephoto camera. For selfies, there’s a 12MP under-display camera on the front.

Huawei inches closer to 100% domestic smartphone production

Huawei‘s new flagship, the Pura 70 series, boasts a remarkable achievement: over 90% of its components are sourced from Chinese companies, except for the highest-end model’s main camera. This signifies a significant leap towards complete domestication in Huawei’s smartphone manufacturing.

HUAWEI-Pura-70-Ultra-Retractable-Camera

Chinese Smartphone Manufacturing Nears Self-Sufficiency with Huawei Pura 70

Teardown analyses by Japanese research firm Fomalhaut Techno Solutions reveal that Chinese suppliers like OFilm, Lens Technology, Goertek, Csun, Sunny Optical, BOE, and Crystal-Optech are now providing the core components for most Pura 70 models, including processors, displays, chassis, batteries, and more.

Only the most advanced processor (Kirin 9010) and the main camera in the top-tier Pura 70 Ultra remain reliant on foreign technology due to limitations in wafer fabrication. With advancements in chip fabrication and camera technology, this goal is likely to be reached in the near future.

Honor and Huawei have achieved remarkable popularity in their home market of China, securing the top spot in smartphone market share according to IDC’s Q1 2024 report. The immense popularity of the Pura 70 series has led to a surge in demand, causing stock shortages in major channels and price increases on the secondary market.

Industry estimates predict strong performance for Huawei this year, with potential smartphone shipments reaching 50 million units. The Pura 70 model is believed to be a significant driver of this success, with sales exceeding tens of millions alone.

The Pura 70 series signifies a significant step towards complete domestic manufacturing for Huawei. The phones showcase the growing capability of Chinese companies to supply crucial smartphone components, relying on a limited number of high-end imports.

This trend suggests a potential future where the entire smartphone manufacturing process within China becomes fully nationalized, potentially impacting the global smartphone supply chain and reshaping the industry landscape.

Xiaomi launches Mijia Table Lamp 2 / Lamp 2 Lite with HyperOS connectivity starting at just $11

By
Rajesh Regmi

Xiaomi has introduced two new table lamps in China: the Mijia Table Lamp 2 and the Mijia Table Lamp 2 Lite. These lamps are designed to deliver comfort while you study or work, and they come at an affordable price. So let’s walk through the specs, features, and price of both the Mijia Table Lamp 2 and the Lamp 2 Lite.

Mijia Table Lamp 2

The Mijia Table Lamp 2 has a 60cm long head with 112 LED beads fitted into it. It has secured a “reading and writing AA-level photometric rating” and a “learning lamp AAAA-level certification” from CQC. That is, the lamp can distribute light evenly with a brightness that minimizes glare and eye strain.

It has also been rated for a high Ra97 color rendering index, meaning the colors will appear as they should under the light. Measured between 1 to 100, the higher the color rendering index is the natural colors will be rendered under an artificial light source when compared with sunlight. 

Xiaomi Mijia Table Lamp 2 can also connect with Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem powered by HyperOS. It allows you to control the lamp via voice commands or through other devices in your smart home network. 

Not to forget, the lamp has an adjustable shaft that allows you to tilt it backward and forward, each up to 25°. Additionally, it has gone through rigorous testing to ensure the shaft endures over 10,000 adjustments. 

The Mijia Table Lamp 2 costs 199 yuan (~$28) in China and is available to purchase via JD.com. 

Mijia Table Lamp 2 Lite

As the name suggests, the Mijia Table Lamp 2 Lite is a more affordable option of the two. It is priced at just 79 yuan (~ $11) and still has a bunch of impressive specifications on paper. 

The lamp has the same CQC AA photometric rating for delivering light uniformity within a central 30×50cm area. And it also has a Ra90 color rendering index, which still falls in the area where the lamp can render colors fairly well. 

Xiaomi Mijia LED Lamp 2 Lite Specs Price

Moreover, the lamp has a custom-made optical lens with 53% transmittance that reduces eye irritation when looking directly at the light source. 

Regarding adjustability, the Lamp 2 Lite offers three-axis linkage for the lamp head, pole, and base, allowing for multi-angle positioning to suit your needs.

Safety is another focus Xiaomi has worked on. The lamp can achieve an RG0 exemption level for blue light hazards. This means it emits minimal blue light, a wavelength known to contribute to eye strain and sleep disruption. Additionally, the light is flicker-free to reduce eye fatigue.

Apple removes apps from the App Store that can generate nudes using generative AI

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

Just days after news broke about a problematic AI feature removing clothes in Huawei phones, similar news has surfaced regarding Apple (via 404 Media).

The company has reportedly removed three apps from the App Store that are advertised as “art generators” but were promoting themselves on Instagram and adult sites claiming that they can “undress any girl for free.”

These apps exploited AI to create fake nude images of clothed individuals. While the images don’t depict actual nudity, the app can generate images that can be used for harassment, blackmail, and invasion of privacy.

AI Nude Apps Apple

What’s concerning is that Apple’s response came after 404 Media shared links to the apps and their ads.

Surprisingly, these apps have been available on the App Store since 2022, advertising the “undress” feature on adult sites.

The report also suggests these apps were initially allowed to stay on the App Store if they removed ads from the adult site.

However, one of the apps ran ads until 2024, when Google pulled it off from the Play Store.

Apple removes App using generative AI for nudes

Apple has now finally decided to remove them from the App Store. It’s slightly concerning though, to see the the reactive nature of app store moderation and the potential for developers to exploit loopholes.

This incident comes at a sensitive time for Apple. WWDC 2024 is just around the corner and the company is expected to make major AI announcements for iOS 18 and Siri.

Apple has been actively building a reputation for responsible AI development, even going as far as to ethically license training data.

In contrast, Google and OpenAI face lawsuits for allegedly using copyrighted content to train their AI systems. Apple’s delayed removal of the NCI apps could potentially tarnish its carefully cultivated image.

In the beginning months of 2024, Vivo launched the Vivo V30 5G and the Vivo V30 Pro 5G in different markets. The brand recently confirmed that it will announce the Vivo V30e phone on May 2 in India. While it is busy expanding the V30 series, rumors suggest it is also working on the V40 series. Last month, Vivo unveiled the Vivo V40 SE 5G, equipped with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2chip, in Europe. Fresh developments suggest that Vivo is also working on the Vivo V40 Lite.

Vivo V40 Lite receives important certifications

Additionally, earlier this month, the V40 Lite with the same model number was spotted in the database of the Global Certification Forum (GCF). Interestingly, the Bluetooth and GCF listings do not mention “5G” in the moniker of the device. However, the GCF certification reveals that the device will support n1 / n2 / n3 / n5 / n8 / n20 / n28 / n38 / n40 / n41 / n66 / n77 / n78 5G bands.

The other specifications of the Vivo V40 Lite are under wraps. Devices that emerge in Bluetooth SIG’s database are known to go official in around one month. Hence, it is likely that the V40 Lite may break cover in May or early June. It will reveal that the device will succeed the V30 Lite, which debuted in December 2023.

The Vivo V30 Lite has a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen integrated with a fingerprint sensor. It has the Snapdragon 695 chip, 8 GB / 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a 4,800mAh battery with 44W fast charging. The device runs on Android 13 with a layer of FunTouch OS 13 on top. It has a 50-megapixel front-facing camera, and its back panel has a 64-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera unit.

The forthcoming Vivo X100s has been spotted on AnTuTu, showcasing impressive performance metrics powered by the yet-to-be-unveiled Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset. The Vivo X100, which debuted in November 2023 in China, and the Dimensity 9300 onboard scored around 2.2 million points on AnTuTu. The screenshot clearly shows that the X100’s AnTuTu score surpasses that of its predecessor.

Garnering a total score of 2,305,267 on AnTuTu, the upcoming X100s showcase noteworthy prowess across test categories. It achieved a CPU test score of 538,809, a GPU score of 940,944, a memory test score of 472,337, and a UX test score of 353,177.

According to reports, the Dimensity 9300 Plus is an overclocked variant of the Dimensity 9300. A previously seen Geekbench listing revealed enhanced performance with its boosted prime core clocked at 3.4GHz, 3 x Cortex-X4 operating at 2.85GHz, 3 x Cortex-A720 cores working at 2.0GHz, and the Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU.

Aside from featuring a new chipset, the Vivo X100s is expected to pack the same internals as the Vivo X100. While retaining many of the X100’s specs, it is said to adopt a flat screen, eschewing the curved-edge display seen on the previous model. It is likely to come in color options, such as white, black, cyan, and titanium.

The Vivo X100s, along with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Vivo X100 Ultra, are expected to break cover in May in China. MediaTek is poised to unveil the Dimensity 9300 Plus on May 7 in China. This suggests that the official launch of the X100s and X100 Ultra is expected to occur by mid- to late-May. Some reports claim that the Ultra variant may have the Vivo X100s Ultra branding.

The Sony Xperia 1 VI, expected to launch soon, may come with a slightly reduced price tag in Taiwan compared to its predecessor, according to a recent rumor.

Sony Xperia 1 VI

As per a report by SumahoDigest, a user on Weibo has shared a snippet of code that reveals that the Sony Xperia 1 VI will come with a price tag of 39,990 TWD in Taiwan, which roughly translates to USD 1,227. This represents a decrease of around 5% from the Sony Xperia 1 V, which was initially priced at 41,990 TWD.

While there’s a chance of a price drop in other regions as well, the new Xperia 1 VI is still a premium device. The previous Xperia 1 V was priced at $1,399 in the U.S. and £1,299 in the UK. The new Xperia 1 VI is expected to be unveiled at a launch event in Japan scheduled for May 17.

So far, reports have revealed that the Xperia 1 VI will feature a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, rather than the 21:9 ratio present on its predecessor. It is also rumored to downgrade to a 2K display rather than a 4K one.

Regarding the camera setup, there’s some uncertainty. Initially, it was claimed that the Xperia 1 VI would boast a triple camera setup with 48MP Exmor T sensors across all lenses. However, a more recent report contradicts this, suggesting a setup comprising a 48 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12 MP telephoto camera. Only the main camera would feature an Exmor T sensor. Notably, this configuration mirrors that of the current Xperia 1 V.

A new leak surrounding the upcoming Huawei Watch Fit 3 suggests a significant overhaul for the wearable, both in terms of aesthetics and software.

Renders of the smartwatch surfaced earlier this week and the design is a complete departure from its predecessor. It looks strikingly similar to the Apple Watch instead. 

Aside from the outer design refresh, the smartwatch is also tipped to undergo a substantial change in the user interface (UI) aspect. 

The tipster suggest the watch will have major UI modifications based on the latest version of HarmonyOS for wearables. Although not specified, we’re guessing that the Watch Fit 3 might come pre-installed with HarmonyOS 4.2 or even the upcoming HarmonyOS NEXT.

The revamped UI could include smoother animations, increased space for app icons, larger fonts, and a wider selection of watch faces. However, official confirmation regarding these changes remains pending.

There’s also a good chance the Watch Fit 3 might launch in both domestic China and international markets. Nevertheless, details regarding key specifications, pricing, and internal features are yet to surface.

With time, we can expect more details and leaks about the Huawei Watch Fit 3 to surface. We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop as new developments come to light.

Samsung is expected to launch a new smartphone, the Galaxy F55 5G in the Indian market soon. Leaks suggest it will be a rebranded version of the recently launched Galaxy M55 5G, with very similar specifications.

A new leak by tipster @yabhishekhd on X (formerly Twitter) has now revealed the price of the Samsung Galaxy F55 5G in India. It reveals that the phone will come in three memory configurations. 

Samsung Galaxy F55 Price in India

The base will be the 8/128GB variant which will retail at Rs 26,999. The mid-tier 8/256GB model will go for Rs 29,999 while the top-of-the-line variant with 12/256GB variant is expected to retail at Rs 32,999. The prices closely match that of the Galaxy M55 5G in the Indian market.

Considering the rebranded nature of the phone, we can expect the F55 5G to share most specifications with the M55 5G. The expected specification includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1000 nits peak brightness, and Vision Booster technology.

The rear camera system is likely to consist of a 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP (likely macro) sensor.

The front-facing camera is expected to be a 50MP sensor. The device may pack a 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support.

Samsung is yet to confirm the launch date of the Galaxy F55 in India or any other markets. However,  since leaks have been surfacing left and right and the device has received necessary certifications from the authority body, we can expect an official announcement soon.
