Back in May, Oppo announced the Reno 10 series — the successor to the Reno 9 series in China. Now, the phone is launching soon in Nepal. In this article, we’ll be talking about the specs, features, and expected price of the OPPO Reno 10 5G in Nepal.

OPPO Reno 10 5G Overview:

Design and Display

Design-wise, the OPPO Reno 10 5G looks pretty similar to its “Pro” siblings. You get a glass sandwich body with a curved finish on both sides. And looking at the rear side, there is a pill-shaped camera module. The company ships this phone in two color options: Ice Blue and Silvery Grey.

For the display, the Reno 10 sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with curved sides for a premium look. This is a Full HD+ resolution screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. It supports 1.07 billion colors, a wide color gamut (P3), and 950 nits of peak brightness.

Performance

While the Chinese variant of the Reno 10 featured Snapdragon 778G, Oppo has replaced it with Dimensity 7050 on the global model. This is a new 5G-ready SoC from MediaTek previously seen in Lava Agni 2 and Realme 11 Pro+. Providing a balance between power and performance is TSMC’s 6nm fabrication process.

The chip is coupled with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 internal storage. It also has support for an additional 8GB of virtual RAM. As expected, its storage is non-expandable. And the Reno 10 boots on ColorOS 13.1 based on Android 13.

Camera

As for the optics, this vanilla model gets a triple camera setup. It consists of a 64MP primary, a 32MP telephoto unit with 2x lossless zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide snapper. Unlike the Reno 10 Pro and Pro+, it doesn’t have OPPO’s Marisilicon X NPU for image processing. Up front, you are looking at a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

Apple loses “Design Head” to LoveFrom & OpenAI!

0

In a recent move, Tang Tan, Apple’s Vice President (VP) of Product Design, is set to leave the tech giant to join Jony Ive’s design firm, LoveFrom. Tan, who currently heads the design teams for iPhone and Apple Watch, is making a move to collaborate with Ive and Sam Altman on an ambitious project. In this article, let’s dive into more about Tang Tan and his move to leave the tech giant Apple.

Apple’s VP of Product Design: Tang Tan

LoveFrom’s Growing Hype

LoveFrom, founded by Jony Ive in 2019 after his departure from Apple, has become a magnet for Apple’s design talent. With Tan’s departure, a total of 14 members from Ive’s former design team have now joined LoveFrom. Bloomberg reports that Ive’s work with OpenAI represents one of his “most ambitious efforts” since leaving Apple, with aspirations to turn it into a new company, currently focused on talent acquisition and concept creation.

Tan’s Role in OpenAI’s Project

Tang Tan will assume a crucial role in LoveFrom’s collaboration with OpenAI, leading the hardware engineering aspect of the project. While specifics about OpenAI’s hardware ambitions are not fully disclosed, there are indications that the concept stage includes devices designed for home use.

OpenAI

Apple’s Designers Are Fleeing

Tan’s departure marks another instance of Apple losing a key designer to LoveFrom, bringing the total to over 20 former Apple employees who have joined Ive’s new design venture. Notably, Ive’s departure has seen a significant shift in Apple’s design landscape, with only a handful of designers who once reported to Ive still remaining at the company. Earlier, two of the lead designers left Apple to start the now-in-hype Humane Ai Pin.

Tang tan leaves apple

As Apple’s VP of Product Design, Tan played a central role in shaping the design and features of devices like the iPhone 15 Pro and Watch Series 9 – products that contribute over $383 billion annually to Apple’s revenue. His departure in February will leave a notable gap in Apple’s design team.

Collaboration and Future Prospects

The collaboration between LoveFrom, OpenAI, and Tang Tan aims to create what they envision as “the iPhone of artificial intelligence.” Though the project is still in its early stages, with Tan leading hardware engineering and OpenAI providing the software foundation, early designs and concepts are reportedly in development.

Since leaving Apple, Jony Ive’s LoveFrom has undertaken projects for notable brands such as Airbnb, Ferrari, and Moncler. The purported AI-focused device, often referred to as the Ai-Phone, represents LoveFrom’s foray into a market where Apple currently holds a leading position.

In terms of cameras, the Galaxy M14 5G features a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP f/1.8 primary shooter, alongside a 2MP depth, and a 2MP macro camera. For selfies, you get a 13MP camera hidden beneath the notch. Both cameras can record videos at up to 1080p @ 30fps.

Rest of the specs

As aforementioned, the Galaxy M14 5G gets its juice from a large 6000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging. This is essentially the only difference between M14 5G and A14 5G, as the latter carries a smaller 5000mAh battery with slower 15W charging. However, you’ll need to purchase the charging brick separately because Samsung does not include it with the phone. There is also a physical fingerprint sensor on the side for security.
