This is the PlayStation 5 – the Look and Specs

Sony has finally revealed what the PlayStation 5 looks like and its features

After nearly an hour of announcements about the PS5 game, Sony also unveiled the hardware design. According to foreign media, the PS5 console includes a black and white design to match the new controller that will be included in the box.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

With the radical change, the Sony PlayStation 5 comes in white color combined with black. The console comes in two versions, a standard model and a digital one, which will have a 3D camera.

The unveiling of Sony’s PS5 hardware design comes months after Microsoft unveiled the PC-shaped look of its next-generation console, the Xbox Series X, in December 2019. And Sony, like Microsoft, has slowly given more information to its next-generation PS5 in recent months.

The console will arrive in the holiday season and is powered by an eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU  and an AMD RDNA 2 GPU. Sony announced the specifications of the PS5 in March, and AMD chips will offer 10.28 teraflops of power using variable frequencies in both CPU and GPU.

Sony is also using an SSD option to increase game load time. The SSD will provide 825GB of storage and 5.5 GB/s of performance.

In this regard, it is said that Sony is requesting that all games be installed on the internal SSD to use the read speed.

The PS5 will also support 8K graphics, 4K graphics with a 120Hz refresh rate, and 3D audio. The PS5 will also support an “overwhelming majority” of the more than 4,000 PlayStation 4 titles available today.

This Chinese company surpasses Samsung and Apple in this technology

The fight for the lowest possible screen frame ratio but without eliminating the selfie camera has brought many aesthetic versions like Samsung’s notch, iPhone punch-hole, or thick frames like Pixel.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The solution definitely remains the under-display camera, the camera under the screen and until it is finalized we will still be left with these more practical than aesthetic solutions. But finally, the day has come to enjoy as Visionox a Chinese company has finally found the solution and will soon bring the first under-display camera.

The product has passed the tests and is ready for mass production. This means that Chinese smartphones will have an advantage over giants like Apple or Samsung. To create this new camera Visinox has used a range of technological patents on a second screen which sits above the camera module by hiding it.

The main screen and the secondary screen are carefully calibrated to suit each other’s resolution, brightness, and color reproduction to enable a precise experience.

It remains to be seen the final product, but a camera under the screen will however require a compromise between the quality of the camera and that of the screen as an unobstructed lens will always have an advantage.

If you buy a flagship smartphone you will of course ask for the maximum quality for the money paid but the technology is not yet where it should be so we will have to wait until we see it in big names.

On July 2, the company will hold an event for its TVs, and this is where the announcement is expected to take place

Just as big names fall, so do young people. OnePlus is definitely one of the most inspiring stories in the smartphone world and the next news shows that the trend continues to be on the rise. A mid-budget smartphone will be introduced under the name OnePlus Z in the Indian market, at least according to Android Police.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Technical details speak for a 6.55-inch 90Hz OLED display, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of memory. 48MP and 16MP ultra-wide camera as well as Snapdragon 765.

The price of 24,990 rupees ($330) will position it much cheaper than the standard OnePlus 8 which with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory sells for $699. And on the other hand, OnePlus’ latest smartphones have gone beyond the initial ambition, reflected in higher prices.

On July 2, the company will hold an event for its TVs, and this is where the announcement of the OnePlus Z is believed to be made. This special moment which brings us back to the feeling of OnePlus 1 delights us immensely as it shows once again the presence of a champion in the market.

OnePlus 8 Pro Review

OnePlus 8 Pro: The phone that Samsung feared the most

OnePlus’ latest flagship lineup is an alarm for Samsung thanks to its sleek design, 120Hz display, 5G, better cameras, and even wireless charging

Starting at €799, the OnePlus 8 Pro is more expensive than the €649 OnePlus 7 Pro and the €699 7T Pro. With the latest smartphone, OnePlus distanced itself from the motto of the “flagship killer” company by competing more directly with Samsung and Apple products without the massive price advantage.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

8 Pro simplifies the design of last year’s models. The “pop-up” selfie camera has been removed, replaced by a traditional “hole-punch” camera. The 6.78-inch QHD+ elite screen is the star of the show and covers almost the entire front of the device.

This year the refresh rate has been increased from 90Hz to 120Hz while staying in line with the Galaxy S20. The difference between 60Hz and 120Hz screens is something that is easily noticed when browsing lists, content, and other animations that are smoother at 120Hz.

The screen can be used on either FHD+ or QHD+ at 120Hz, unlike Samsung where 120Hz is limited to FHD+ only.

The rear of the glass is not only an aesthetic element but paves the way for wireless charging technology. The smartphone weighs 199 grams and is 74.4mm wide and 7g lighter than the previous model. It is significantly more comfortable to hold in the hands compared to the Galaxy S20 Ultra and 2.7mm longer than the 7T Pro. The OnePlus 8T Pro is the first OnePlus smartphone with IP68 certification of water resistance.

Specifications 

  • Screen: 6.78-inch 120Hz QHD AMOLED (513ppi)
  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865
  • RAM: 8 or 12GB RAM
  • Memory: 128 or 256GB UFS 3.0
  • Operating System: Oxygen OS 10.5 based on Android 10
  • Camera: Rear 48-megapixel main, 48-megapixel and super wide, 8-megapixel telephoto, 5-megapixel color filter; 16-megapixel front
  • Connectivity: 5G, two SIM cards, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1 and GPS Water resistance: IP68
  • Dimensions: 165.3 x 74.4 x 8.5 mm
  • Weight: 199 grams

Speed and battery lifespan

The 8 Pro has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor with 8 or 12GB of RAM as the OnePlus 8. This means unquestionable performance with 5G technology. The 8 Pro also has the battery life of the OnePlus 8 with 32 hours between charging cycles. Three hours used in 4G, in Wi-Fi with FHD+ 120Hz screen, 50 minutes video, 7 hours Spotify with Bluetooth headset, and about 20 photos. This is what you can do in a day with the OnePlus 8 Pro battery.

The 5G’s performance was similar to the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, while when two SIM cards are used, the smartphone is limited to only 4G. The Warp Charge 30T is so fast that it charges the 50% battery in 28 minutes and the full charge in 77 minutes. The novelty for this year is the optimized charge which saves the battery by delaying the charge to 100% at night till the moment you pick up the smartphone in your hands.

New is also wireless charging, including the Qi standard and Warp Charge 30 Wireless technology. 9 Pro can also charge other devices with Qi wireless technology. The OnePlus 8 battery withstands 800 charge cycles up to 80% capacity.

Oxygen OS 10.5

OnePlus 8 Pro comes with Android 10.5 Oxygen OS 10.5 operating system based on Android 10. This operating system is among the best if not the best based on Android with balanced functionality, aesthetics, and speed like no other.

OnePlus offers a 3-year update since debut, including two years of Android version updates and another year of security updates. Samsung offers 4 years of support for the Galaxy S series and Apple 5 years for the iPhone. So OnePlus has work to do in this regard.

The Camera

The OnePlus 8 Pro has four rear cameras where it combines: a 48-megapixel main camera with Sony’s new sensor, an ultra-wide 48-megapixel camera with last year’s Sony sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto camera, and a camera 5-megapixel colors filters.

The 48-megapixel main camera is excellent producing some of the best photos, details and exposure from a smartphone. Auto-HDR mode accurately manages high-contrast scenes, while the light performance at least differentiates it from the 7T Pro and 8 without the need for “Night Scape” mode at all. Normally the smartphone captures 12-megapixel photos combining four pixels in a single.

The 48-megapixel ultra-wide sensor is one of the best modules also in this camera segment producing quality images in good light. Problems with this sensor start in low light environments where it often produces image noise. Night Scape helps you in such scenes.

The 8-megapixel telephoto camera is good too but suffers in low light environments. There is a hybrid zoom (optical and digital) 3x and a digital magnification only 30x. In bright light, you can capture detailed objects even with 24x magnification.

Finally, the 5-megapixel photochrom filter is more advertising than usable. There are endless software that do the best job combined with the main camera.

Observations

  • The side slider easily passes between Silent, Vibrate and Ring modes
  • Stereo speakers are excellent
  • The smartphone comes with a plastic screen protector from the box
  • Excellent call quality
  • OnePlus sandstone cases are better if you want your smartphone not to slip

The Price

The OnePlus 8 Pro starts at 799 euros for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory and goes to 899 euros for 12GB of RAM and 256GB of memory.

OnePlus 8 starts at 599 euros, OnePlus 7T Pro at 699 euros, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra at 1,199 euros and Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max at 1,149 euros.

The Verdict

8 Pro shows that OnePlus is no longer the number 2 hidden under the shadow of the big ones. Rather it brings technology capable of rivaling industry leaders.

Fantastic display, stylish design, wireless charging, and water resistance. The software is best on Android, battery life is high and the experience with Android interface beats clearly Samsung and Google.

The Chinese firm has managed to address the weak point, the camera, and maintain the strong point of the software, the speed and longevity of the battery. It is no longer the cheapest smartphone, but the cheapest and best option among the best.

Pros

  • Fantastic screen
  • Battery life
  • Quality camera
  • Slider of notifications
  • 5G
  • Fast fingerprint scanner
  • High performance
  • Fast wireless and wired charging
  • Excellent software
  • Water-resistant
  • Two SIM cards

Cons

  • No 3.5mm headphone port
  • Only three years of software updates
  • 5G disabled when two SIM cards are used
  • Expensive

Currents

Currents, Google+’s replacement, launches in July

Google Currents will finally be released on July 6, as a social network just for work relationships

On April 2, 2019, Google chose to get rid of the social media train by shutting down Google+. The reason certainly remains the low interest on the part of the community. Let’s face it, during the golden age of Facebook, having Google+ was the weirdest part of the group. But a G Suite version for enterprise communications continues to exist and apparently interest in this feature is active.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Existing Google+ users will be transferred to “an updated look and feel” and will benefit from “additional options” including content moderation and administrative privileges.

The beta version of the few months has served as a place to “engage with employees. To have fruitful discussions. We stay current together.”

The interface and experience are mostly unchanged, the material on the main screen is organized according to the connection or chronology, while posts from superiors can take precedence. Texts, links, images, and other materials from Drive can be easily shared.

Yes, if the WhatsApp group is not enough, you will have a completely dedicated social network.

An iPhone is again the most famous smartphone in the world

The models are changing but Apple remains at the top

It seems that Apple has long secured the title of “most popular smartphone in the world.” The title has so far belonged to the iPhone XR that was released in 2018 and the position will now be occupied by the iPhone 11.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

According to Omdia, Apple sold 19.5 million iPhone 11s in the first quarter of 2020 despite the pandemic, surpassing 13.6 million iPhone XRs in the first quarter of 2019. The numbers also show the big difference between the iPhone 11 and the competitor, with the second Samsung Galaxy A51 selling only 6.8 million units.

“Despite the devastating effects of coronavirus on consumer demand, Apple’s iPhone 11 in the first quarter of 2020 surpassed the iPhone XR of the first quarter of 2019 by 6 million units. This represents a huge improvement in the company’s performance since the first quarter of last year when the iPhone XS and XS Max weren’t even in the top 10. The iPhone XR was the only new model to appear in the top 10 at the time. This year, however, all three new models made their appearance in the top 10.“

The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max appear in 8th and 6th place, respectively, while the top ten are completed with Samsung and Xiaomi phones.

What you need to know about monitors and 4K TV

4K TVs offer the best viewing experience today compared to any other standard

It is one of the screens with the highest pixel density on the market at 8 million. Unlike 1080p or 720p screens where you can spot pixels in an image, 4K screens offer a view that looks like you’re watching it from a window, not a TV.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

What you need to know about 4K TV?

4K refers to high-quality image technology, device, or content. 4K describes in two screen resolutions: 4096 × 2160 and 3840 × 2160. The largest has been introduced in digital cinemas while the second is more present in consumer devices like TV screens and computer monitors.

Resolution 3840 × 2160 is referred to as Ultra-Hight Definition or UHD while 4096 × 2160 is 4K true. But 4K UHD is used to describe both standards.

Regardless of the screen size you are watching, 4K offers to games, movies, and TV fans a unique experience. This experience is possible thanks to the doubling of the number of pixels you find on a normal 1080p TV.

The true 4K quality is noticeable on large screens such as the 55-inch TV. There is a debate today as to whether the human eye can read every detail that 4K offers. However, the difference between 4K and 1080p is easily discernible to the human eye, however, the quality of the content is also important.

It is advisable to see 4K content on 4K screens but they look just as great on 1080p or 720p screens. 4K resolution will automatically convert to 1080p or 720p. However, viewing 1080p or 720p content on 4K screens will simultaneously expose their poor quality due to the lower resolution.
