iPhone 12 vs. OnePlus 8T – where should you money go?

A few days after the launch of the iPhone 12 on October 13, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 8T

Both phones will be available from October 23 and will compete to seduce new buyers. The price for both smartphones is more or less the same, while the iPhone 12 costs $799 for the base model, the OnePlus 8T comes for a price of $749 – there is practically only $50 that separates these two devices. So a comparison of the specifications and features of these close competitors – iPhone 12 and OnePlus 8T was inevitable, writes slashgear.

Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus mock the lack of a charger in the iPhone 12 box

OnePlus with the launch of OnePlus 8T this Wednesday emphasized that a 65W charger is included in the package

Among the things that made the most news after the iPhone 12 launch event was the lack of an adapter and headphones in the packaging. Apple’s justification is to reduce pollution from electronic devices left in our drawers and then in unrecycled bins.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Such a move could not pass without a dose of sarcasm on the part of competing companies.

Samsung Caribbean posted a photo of an adapter on Facebook and wrote: “Your #Galaxy gives you what you are looking for. From the most basic as a charger, to the best camera, battery, performance, memory, and even 120Hz on a smartphone.”

Xiaomi did the same, in a Twitter post wrote “Don’t worry, we didn’t leave anything out of the box with the #Mi10TPro.”

OnePlus has also entered the dance where with the launch of the OnePlus 8T this Wednesday, it emphasized that a 65W charger is included in the package.

However, the day is not far when these and other companies will start doing the same. Ultimately beyond the ecological concern, this strategy brings price reductions especially at such times when the market trend requires cost shrinking everywhere. In fact, Samsung itself is discussing that it will apply this strategy to 2021 products.

What is the iPhone 12 MagSafe

A smart move with the iPhone 12 launch bears the name MagSafe

The fact that Apple makes a lot of money from iPhone accessories is well known. The lack of a universal headphone jack and USB-C strengthen the need to purchase specific accessories to keep within the company ecosystem. A smart move with the launch of the iPhone 12 bears the name MagSafe.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

It is a new infrastructure of building the back of a smartphone, the wireless charging panel will also have some small magnets all around to hold behind its new accessories, from the charging pads which will already stay fixed with smartphones, pockets to hold cards but also new creations expected to come soon.

Since the launch of the iPhone 12, we saw several products, in addition to the card pocket, a dual pod was introduced, which can charge the smartphone but also a watch or headphone case. Belkin himself is working on such products.

MagSafe is not just a pair of magnets, the system is also equipped with NFC, an option that will allow the device itself to communicate with accessories which may also be smart. This way the smartphone will understand what that system is and what to do with it, such as the sleeve case which has a special space for the watch. When the iPhone is inside it will automatically turn on the clock on the screen.

On the other hand, Apple has also improved the charging itself which has already doubled to 15W. Probably not the fastest in the world but it is progress anyway, considering that wireless charging is not yet as fast as cable charging.

iPhone 12 Official

This is the iPhone 12 with which Apple hopes to replicate the success of the iPhone 11

iPhone 12 is finally among us: 4 models, a mini, a standard, a Pro, and a Pro Max version. New processor, 5G and LiDAR sensor

This year took longer than usual but the iPhone 12 is finally among us. Most of the rumors turned out to be correct, 4 models, a mini, a standard, a Pro, and Pro Max version. A new processor, 5G, and LiDAR sensor. The latest version of the Apple smartphone will also be available in several variants and sizes as the company adapts consumer behavior around mobile devices.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The inclusion of 5G does not constitute any news for consumers as a whole. Apple is not the first company to bring a 5G smartphone and according to statistics 13% of phones sold in the first half of 2020 had 5G technology.

The whole iPhone 12 line has undergone a redesign taking the layout elements from the iPad Pro.

iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12

First was introduced the iPhone 12, 6.1″11% thinner, 15% smaller, and 16% lighter and flat angles, distinctive of this generation. OLED screens are uniform on all fours and moreover will be protected by a special ceramic coating to guarantee 4 times more durability. Like the others, it will come with the latest A14 Bionic processor and the only smartphone with 5nm processing technology. This guarantees greater power but also efficiency in energy consumption. According to Apple, this processor is 50% faster than all the competition.

As was predicted the iPhone 12 has two rear cameras, a 12-megapixel main and a super-wide 12-megapixel taken from last year’s model. Night Mode has been upgraded to all models and added to the selfie camera.

Then was unveiled the iPhone 12 Mini which fortunately has almost the same power but comes in more modest dimensions with a 5.4 “screen. Features 5G and has the same specifications of the camera as the standard version. The dual set of which has received more investment on the software side.

Prices for the Mini will start at $699 while for the iPhone 12 start at $799.

The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are the Max of what Apple can offer

The difference of course holds the Pro tag which from Pro Max differs only in dimensions. The Pro has a 6.1″ screen while the Pro Max 6.7″. The A14 Bionic is 5nm here too, but unlike the first two, it has additional capabilities for real-time processing of what the camera captures or shoots, an asset that will cost you hundreds of dollars more.

The three rear camera sensors have undergone changes mainly in the aperture to work better with low light. Contrary to expectations, the Pro and Pro Max will not have four lenses, as the LiDAR depth sensor is smaller and less noticeable. It will add pretty much advantages to light processing as well as how fast it hits objects. This sensor will contribute quite a bit to the plans the company has for the AR sector.

The new Pro models feature Retina XDR OLED screens, A14 Bionic processors, glass with ceramic cover, LiDAR scanners, and 5G technology which are the maximum that Apple can offer. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max goes on sale in three configurations: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, and four colors: graphite, silver, gold, and blue. The pandemic apparently also affected Apple, which this time decided to start offering the iPhone 12 Pro from $999 and the 12 Pro Max from $1099. 

In the Pro Max model where the screen is bigger, Apple says it has packaged 3.5 million pixels. The back of these models is matte glass while the frame is made of steel. iPhone 12 Pro is water-resistant to a depth of 6 meters for 30 minutes thanks to IP68 certification. Another reason why people are willing to pay more with Pro models is the camera system. Orders for iPhone 12 Pro start on October 16th and sales on October 23rd. For iPhone 12 Pro Max orders start on November 6 and sales on November 13.

Processor and cameras

Thanks to the A14 Bionic processor, Apple brought a new “Apple ProRAW” format for professional photographers where the image retains editing capabilities. Specifically, users have more control over the colors, details, and dynamic range of the image on the iPhone.

The main sensor has a 7-element lens and f/1.6 aperture significantly increasing performance in low light. The ultra-wide-angle camera (ultrawide) has a field of view of 12 degrees, the telephoto a length of 52mm, and 4x optical zoom. The Phone 12 Pro Max has a 47% larger sensor improving the performance in low light by 87%. Also, the telephoto camera in this variant has a focal length of 65mm and 5x optical zoom.

Night Mode has also been extended to ultrawide cameras and Night Mode and Time-lapse modes promise more detail. Deep Fusion technology is faster. In video recording, the new models offer HDR video with Dolby Vision up to 60fps and optical stabilization. The innovation is the LiDAR scanner which has a role to play in augmented reality. In addition, this scanner can increase the autofocus performance in low light by 6 times. A novelty for the iPhone 12 is also MagSafe technology where users can charge the phone wirelessly or use magnetic accessories. Apple will sell a MagSafe charger, a silicone case, and a leather case. The MagSafe Duo charger is capable of charging iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously will debut in the coming weeks.

Innovation for this year

The smartphone has an OLED screen that Apple calls the Super Retina XDR doubling the number of pixels compared to the LCD screen that the iPhone 11 had last year.

All smartphones have the A14 Bionic chip. This time the chip has six processor cores and four graphics cores. Upon revealing this information the company took the opportunity to talk about the arrival of the League of Legends game on the iPhone.

With the iPhone 12, Apple decided to return to MagSafe, a magnetic system integrated into the back of the device through which accessories connect to the phone. These are mainly accessories such as wireless chargers and cases.

Lastly, regarding the packaging, Apple has decided to empty it, because with the purchase of the iPhone 12, you will no longer get Earpods wired headphones nor the charging adapter. Apple says it did it to protect the environment.

Prices and availability 

The new phone starts at $799, $100 more than the iPhone 12 mini also introduced at this event. The 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max models start at $999 and $1,099 respectively. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro can be ordered from October 16th while arriving in stores on October 23rd. Pro Max and Mini version on 13 November.

Apple 5nm Chip-

Apple today will show more than the iPhone 12, a technological revolution

Today the company will make a fuss with the first devices that have a new type of chip

With the new processor, users of these devices can edit 4K video, modify high-resolution photos, and play graphically intensive games more easily than previously possible using fewer battery.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The new 5-nanometer architecture means that the size of the transistors has been reduced and the processor board occupies more of them than was previously possible. These transistors are now only 25 atoms wide and billions of them can be placed on a single plate. Simply put, more processing power. Four years ago the industry doubted that such an advancement would be possible.

Such advancements would not have been possible before an unknown Dutch company called ASML. This company has developed a way to construct transistors on the silicon plate through a process called Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV). Its machinery costs $123 million a share. It is currently the only company that manufactures these devices and they are more cost-effective than alternative options due to the low level of defects.

Only two chipmakers have started using this technology commercially:

Both firms have their share in ASML alongside Intel which will start using the technology in 2021.

What exactly does 5-nanometer mean?

One nanometer is one of 1 billion Metter. This is the size that human hair grows every second. Transistors are used to measure the width of a component. But a decade ago the way chips are designed changed and nanometers are no longer used as a geometric effect. Today 5 nanometers is more of a marketing term and two companies with the same design can produce transistors with different performance.

To help you understand the size of transistors, at every 1 mm2 of the Apple chip are put 17,1 million transistors. The new structure with a stack of four nanosheets allows about 30 transistors to be placed onto the chip with the size of a fingernail bringing significant gains in efficiency and power.

In comparison to the 10 nm chip, the new 5 nm structure brings 40% performance improvements at fixed power, or 75% power saving at matched performance. This leads to more powerful and more efficient smaller devices.

N5 is the first TSMC process designed around extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). Because it uses a 13.5-nanometer light instead of 193-nanometers, EUV can define chip features in one step—compared with three or more steps using 193-nanometer light.

Smarter smartphones

Everything that was said above matters because switching to 5-nanometer means that devices are more intelligent. As chips advance, more tasks are capable of performing and many of them can now be done locally instead of being sent to remote servers. We have already seen smartphones capable of transcribing voices or recognizing people in pictures without the need for an internet connection. With new processors, more complex tasks are possible with artificial intelligence which means that smartphones can better recognize the world around them.

Switching to smaller transistors, processors use less power and have higher performance. For this reason, TSMC 5-nanometer chips should be 15% faster than 7-nanometer ones or 30% more power-efficient.  Apple claims that the A14 can perform machine learning tasks 10 times faster than the A13. But consumers are more concerned about real-life benefits than theoretical digits.

iPhone 12 Last Minute Rumors: Better Zoom and Longer Battery Life

Apple will unveil new iPhone models today. The company will hold an event at 19:00 with our local time and you can watch the live broadcast live on this YouTube link. With the Apple event just a few hours away, you would think that we already know everything about the new iPhone 12. And, for the most part, we know, and here are two summaries of what we expect for Apple to announce tomorrow.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

According to speculation, Apple will introduce four versions of the iPhone 12, including a 5.4-inch “mini” model, an iPhone 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max. Some of the models will be equipped with 5G technology although the latter is still in experimental stages in many parts of the world.

However, the leaker Max Winebauch has disseminated some very detailed, last-minute information about the new iPhones, some of which we have not heard before.

According to Winebauch, the smallest of the iPhone, the 5.4-inch “iPhone 12 Mini” – will have a TrueDepth camera system adjusted at the front, resulting in a level that is smaller horizontally but slightly larger vertically.

Zoom is getting another improvement; Weinbauch claims that the Pro models will have 3x optical zoom and 25x to 30x digital zoom, while the non-Pro iPhone 12 models will get better zoom through software upgrades.

The new iPhones are getting bigger batteries than the previous models. This should result in one-hour battery life for Pro models. However, the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini will perform worse than the iPhone 11 when it comes to battery life, due to its smaller size.

Other news from Weinbauch includes support for 4K video at 120 or 240 fps, faster Face ID operation, night mode being added to the telephoto camera, better low light performance for the ultrawide camera, and a possible macro camera mode, as well as a portrait video.

The big Apple event starts at 19:00, on Tocday, October 13th.

How to follow the iPhone 12 live presentation?

Apple will introduce new iPhone models today. The company will hold an event at 19:00 with our local time and you can watch the live broadcast live on this YouTube, or through the video below.

Apple will also introduce a wireless charging device. The iPhone giant has also long been reported to be working on a pair of headphones that will join the AirPods line. As we said above Apple will broadcast the activity live on YouTube and it is the easiest way to watch it.

AMD Zen 3 5000 series Desktop CPUs Officially Revealed

How would be able AMD to create a third successful Ryzen 9 processor? Last year it was clear that the company had brought a real challenge to Intel especially in video game performance. With the new Zen 3 architecture, AMD went the illustrations once again to create a processor and platform which is more efficient. The company even got more turbo frequencies and 19% more (IPC) showing real performance.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The Ryzen 9 5900X debuts on 15 November is a 12-core 24 threads chip with 4.8Ghz turbo frequency, 64MB L3 Cache and 105-watt thermal design. AMD says the 5900X offers 26% more gaming performance than the Zen 2. Specifically, it has increased performance per core where AMD has faced difficulties. The company says it is the first processor to go beyond 600 points in the Cinebenc R20 1T benchmarks with 631 points. The Core i9-10900K processor scores 544 points even though it has a higher frequency.

Ryzen 9 5900X

The rest of the 5000 line is a model Ryzen 5800X with 8 cores and one with 6 cores the Ryzen 5600X that sell for $449 and $299 respectively.

Lastly, the company had maintained a surprise, the Ryzen 5950X model with 16 cores and 32 threads as well as 4.9Ghz turbo frequency while maintaining the same thermal design of 105-watt starting at $799. It is the ideal solution for those who want the performance of a Threadripper but at a much lower cost.

What makes Zen 3 special? Redesigned design creating a unified 8-core complex that reduces instruction delays and allows cores to reach the processor L3 Cache itself. The results of this design will be felt mainly in games and their online streaming like Twitch. Overall Zen 3 is 24% faster than Zen 2 and 2.4 times faster than Zen 1. AMD said the company is currently working on the Zen 4 5-nanometer architecture.

Meet the OnePlus 8T design before its debut

OnePlus will officially unveil the 8T on October 14th

In a video released yesterday, OnePlus has revealed the full design of the OnePlus 8T ahead of its official debut. The design is very different from its OnePlus 8 predecessor. So the company has decided to move away from the central camera module for a module located in the upper left corner.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

It’s a surprise because OnePlus has been using the central camera design for several years. At first glance, the OnePlus 8T is very similar to the affordable OnePlus Nord model. The green color inherited from the flagship models of the year will remain. OnePlus will officially introduce the 8T on October 14th.

The phone is confirmed with a 65W fast charger, a new camera sensor, 120Hz flat screen.

The first DDR5 RAM modules unveiled by SK Hynix

DDR5-4800 chips have speeds between 4,800 to 5,600Mbps while consuming less power than DDR4

Korean chipmaker SK Hynix introduced the first 64GB DDR5 RAM module, marking a big step compared to DDR4 DIMMs which have dominated computer memory since 2013. DDR5-4800 chips have speeds between 4,800 to 5,600Mbps while consuming less power than DDR4. The technology also makes possible 256GB modules available in size.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The JEDEC standard of DDR5 RAM was officially introduced in July but SK Hynix has unveiled the first chip in 2018 with this memory. In addition to capacity, DDR5 will have two 32-bit channels instead of 64-bit making it easier to increase the bandwidth. It is the modules themselves that regulate the voltage and not the board with DDR5 allowing the memory output to control its frequency. SK Hynix also tested the modules at 6,400 Mbps and 8,400 Mbps.

By 2022 DDR5 memory will occupy only 10% of sales and by 2024 it will go to 43%. When this moment comes it will be the de facto the memory used on all new computers.
