Oppo has just announced its new self developed high precision position algorithm. It is dubbed the Real time Kinetic Positioning (RKP), which enables smartphone navigation to be more accurate within a one meter distance radius. This is a highly accurate reading and could offer a lot more precise reading in various scenarios.

According to a GizArena report, the new positioning technology is based on carrier phase measurement. In simpler terms, the algorithm maps users’ locations by measuring the distance between network stations in real time to deliver a precise reading. This system isn’t exactly new, since it was originally used at an industrial level that used a large and complex system. Thus, it wasn’t suitable for smartphones at that time.

But now, Oppo has developed an advanced algorithm that uses information from existing smartphone sensors, including the accelerometers and gyroscopes, to improve positioning accuracy. Another benefit of this system is the reduction of signal interference. At the moment, the Chinese tech giant’s proprietary technology is in the commercializing phase, so we can expect to see it arrive in future Oppo smartphones in 2021.

The latest rugged model from Ulefone, Armor 6E, is already in the market for some time now and has won the buyers’ preference for its great performance in outdoor performance and durability. The Armor 6E has gained up to 98% of good reputation from the users since it has been launched. You have already seen several videos about its performance and durability but today Ulefone released another one demonstrating the positioning performance of the device compared with iPhone XS. Let’s have a look.

As shown in the video, the 2km distance covered by the runner along the seaside was accurately recorded by the Armor 6E while the iPhone XS deviated from the original route. This means that in this case, the Armor 6E performed better than the $1000 opponent. The Armor 6E comes equipped with GPS, Glonass, and Beidou navigation system, offering wider and stable satellite signal reception, accurate positioning and navigation routes, making a perfect assistant when you get lost outdoors and want to find the right way.

Besides the excellent navigation capabilities, Armor 6E also comes with powerful specs like the 6.2″ FHD+ display covered with Gorilla Glass 5, Helio P70 SoC backed by 4GB/64GB memory configuration, 16MP/2MP dual rear camera setup, and an 8MP selfie shooter. In addition, there is a 5000mAh battery, face and fingerprint unlock, NFC with Google Pay support, global network coverage, and Android 9 Pie OS.

Until July 17th, Ulefone Armor 6E is on promotion over at Aliexpress costing just $197.49, a very low price for its specs. You can grab yours here.
