Adobe’s AI image generator tool “Firefly” threatens DALL-E, Midjourney

Generative AI tools are all the rage these days. From AI chatbots to image generators, these tools have dramatically changed the way we work. And now, Adobe has thrown its hat in the ring with its own image synthesizer called “Firefly”. As of 2023, it has released the second version of its Image Model, as well as integrated new Vector and Design models.

Adobe Firefly Overview:

Firefly is the first generative AI product from Adobe, and it’s currently in the beta stage. In case you didn’t know, generative AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence (AI) tool that is capable of translating ordinary words (or other forms of inputs) into images, text, video, documents, art, and more.

Contrary to other AI image generators like DALL-E and Midjourney, Firefly is a bit more versatile in what it’s capable of. It can generate still images, edit video effects, and even work with 3D compositions. Firefly also has “creative building blocks” like brushes, vectors, textures, and more to help with your creative workflow. Other than this, it lets you create stylized texts too; like Microsoft’s WordArt on steroids.

An interesting take on training the AI model

More importantly, the company says Firefly has been trained on models using data from Adobe Stock Library, those that are licensed content for training, or out-of-copyright materials. Alexandru Costin, VP of generative AI and Sensei at Adobe said, “We can generate high quality content and not random brands’ and others’ IP because our model has never seen that brand content or trademark.”

Hence, the company is confident that Firefly’s results will not infringe any copyrights or steal human artists’ work. Adobe is also planning to pay artists who are willing to contribute to training the AI.

On top of that, Adobe is also working on a way for artists to choose the “Do Not Train” option to prevent their content from being used for the training model. The company is also working to enable users to integrate Firefly’s API into various platforms to enable custom workflows and automation.

Adobe Firefly Availability

As aforementioned, Firefly is still in the beta stage right now. You can request access to the platform from here—even if you don’t have a Creative Cloud subscription. Adobe Firefly will first be available on apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Express, and Experience Manager.

The new Nokia C12 Pro is same as the Nokia C12 with a bigger battery

Not long after announcing the Nokia C12, HMD Global has launched the Nokia C12 Pro in the Indian market. Featuring the same barebone specs but with a bigger battery, Nokia C12 Pro is pretty identical to its vanilla sibling. In this article, we’ll be going through the specs, features, availability, and expected price in Nepal of the Nokia C12 Pro.

Nokia C12 Pro Overview:

Design and Display

The C12 Pro’s design is the same as the C12. You get a waterdrop notch display for the front camera and a thick bezel on the bottom. Its build quality consists of plastic frames, while the phone’s rear panel has a metallic finish and a 3D pattern for a better grip. Nokia C12 Pro is available in Charcoal, Dark Cyan, and Light Mint finishes.

Nokia C12 Pro Design and Display

Up front, you’re looking at a 6.3-inch IPS LCD screen with a static 60Hz refresh rate. And it has just HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) resolution as well. Nokia has not mentioned the protection type but the screen is rated to be scratch resistant. Likewise, the C12 Pro is also IP52 certified for protection against dust and water drips.

Performance

Although the official site doesn’t mention the chipset, it’s likely that the C12 Pro houses the same Unisoc SC9863A1 SoC (28nm). This is an entry-level processor with an octa-core CPU, consisting of four Cortex-A55 (@1.6 GHz) and four Cortex-A55 (@1.2 GHz) cores. In terms of memory configuration, there are two variants to choose from 2/64GB and 3/64GB. By the way, it also supports virtual RAM expansion by 2GB.

To complement such a low-powered processor, the Nokia C12 Pro boots on Android 12 Go Edition. Instead of the full-fledged Android 12. With a lighter UI, you also get the “Go Edition” of popular Google apps like Maps, Docs, Gmail, and Files—which aren’t as resource-hungry. Likewise, the company has promised 2 years of security updates for this phone.

Camera

Moving on, this budget phone sports a single 8MP camera at the back; supported by an LED flash. Interestingly, this camera can take portrait and night mode shots too. Then there’s a 5MP camera up front for selfies and video calls.

Rest of the specs

Nokia C12 Pro gets its juice from a removable 4000mAh battery, which is 1000mAh more than the regular C12. Unfortunately, it still supports just 5W charging via a micro USB port. As for connectivity options, this 4G phone brings dual SIM, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, and there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack too.

Nokia C12 Pro Specifications:

  • Body: 160.6 x 74.3 x 8.75mm
  • Display: 6.3-inch IPS LCD panel
  • Resolution: HD+, 20:9 ratio
  • Processor: Unisoc SC9863A1 (28nm, octa-core CPU)
  • RAM: 2/3GB RAM, 64GB storage (expandable)
  • Software & UI: Android 12 Go edition, 2 years of security updates
  • Rear Camera: 8MP with LED flash
  • Front Camera: 5MP (notch)
  • Audio: 3.5mm headphone jack, FM Radio
  • Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), 4G LTE, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.2, MicroUSB 2.0
  • Battery: 4,000mAh (removable), 5W charging
  • Colors: Charcoal, Dark Cyan, Light Mint

Nokia C12 Pro Price in Nepal and Availability

In India, the Nokia C12 Pro costs INR 6,999 for the 2/64GB and INR 7,999 for the 3/64GB model. We expect the Nokia C12 Pro price in Nepal to start from NPR 12,499 when it launches here shortly.

Nokia C12 Pro Price in India Price in Nepal (Expected)
2/64GB INR 6,999 NPR 12,499
3/64GB INR 7,999 NPR 14,499

Google’s ChatGPT rival “Bard” finally launches in US and UK

Google’s ChatGPT rival “Bard” finally launches in US and UK

After demoing it about a month back, Google has finally launched its conversational AI called “Bard”. It runs on Google’s LaMDA language model and is currently under an experimental phase, available to select users in the US and the UK. Bard is Google’s direct answer to the widely popular conversational AI “ChatGPT” from OpenAI.

Google Bard AI Chatbot Overview:

As mentioned before, this chatbot is powered by Google’s Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA) and uses a wide range of data available online to provide users with relevant and high-quality responses. According to Google, this is a supplement to “Search” rather than a replacement for traditional search engines.

Google Bard Welcome Screen

Its homepage is similar to that of ChatGPT and GPT-4-powered Bing. But contrary to the competition, Google includes a disclaimer at the bottom that reads, “Bard may display inaccurate or offensive information that does not represent Google’s views.” Unlike other chatbots, Bard displays three responses to a single query, all of which are nearly identical with minor differences.

Also supports voice input

Each response includes a prominent “Google it” button that takes users to a related Google search. You can also ask Bard questions using your voice, just like you do with Google Assistant; something not available in ChatGPT.

Google Bard Disclaimer

So far, several users from the United States and the United Kingdom have tested Bard. And most of them say Bard responds faster than its competitors, possibly because there are fewer users on the platform. But they’ve also highlighted that Google’s solution lacks the same level of creativity and accuracy (mostly while doing maths and grammar).

Google Bard vs OpenAI ChatGPT:

Everyone is waiting to see who will win this AI battle between ChatGPT and Bard. And as of now, ChatGPT seems to produce accurate results in the majority of cases because it is better trained than Bard.

Bard is indeed immature in comparison to ChatGPT as of now, but Google is constantly taking user feedback and improving Bard.

 

Google Bard: Availability

As mentioned before, this AI chatbot from Google is currently available in the US and UK only. And Google says it will expand to more countries and languages over time.

Oppo Find X6 series arrives with flagship chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek

Oppo Find X6 series arrives with flagship chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek

After multiple leaks and rumors, Oppo has finally launched the Find X6 series. The lineup includes two models, a vanilla and a Pro model, which arrive with flagship chipsets from MediaTek and Qualcomm, respectively. Let’s get into the specs, features, expected price in Nepal and availability of Oppo Find X6 and X6 Pro.

Oppo Find X6 Series Overview:

New design

Oppo has been continually exploring new elements for its phone’s design. Last year’s Find X5 Pro featured a slight variation of the “Gradient Arc” design, which has been a staple of Oppo’s flagships since 2021. But it looks like the company has changed things with the Find X6 series.

Oppo Find X6 Pro

As the renders suggested, the back of the Oppo flagships now arrives with a big circular module that houses a triple camera setup. The Find X6 Pro is 9.1mm thick while it weighs 218 grams for the glass variant. Its “Desert Silver Moon” color variant features a premium leather back and is even thicker at 9.5mm. Other color options—Cloud Black and Flying Spring Green—both have an all-glass back.

On the other hand, the vanilla X6 is thinner and lighter at 8.96mm and 207 grams, respectively. It also has identical design language as the “Pro” model, except that Oppo isn’t offering Find X6 in a leather finish. Also, the Find X6 Pro bags an IP68 dust/water rating while the vanilla model gets a relatively weaker IP64 dust/splash resistance.

Display

Getting to the display, Oppo Find X6 Pro has a 6.8-inch E6 AMOLED display with a 2K resolution (3168 x 1440 pixels). The screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate with LTPO 3 technology and 10-bit colors. Meanwhile, the vanilla X6 comes with a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2772 × 1240 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Oppo Find X6 Pro - Display

Interestingly, Find X6 Pro’s display has a whopping 2500 nits of peak brightness—which is the highest ever on the smartphone. The previous titleholder, the iPhone 14 Pro Max, maxed out at 2000 nits. Likewise, the vanilla Find X6 settles for 1450 nits of peak brightness instead. The Pro model can also play Dolby Vision and HDR10+ videos, while the Oppo Find X6 only supports the latter.

Camera

After Xiaomi and Vivo, Oppo has finally used a 1-inch camera on the X6 Pro, which is a 50MP Sony IMX989 sensor. If you recall, it’s the same sensor you’d find on the new Xiaomi 13 Pro and Vivo’s X90 Pro series. This has been complemented with a 23mm equivalent lens with an f/1.8 aperture.

Oppo Find X6 Pro’s remaining camera setup is equally impressive. The company has used a couple of 50MP 1/1.56-inch IMX890 sensors; one for ultrawide shots which uses a 15mm f/2.2 lens and has a 110° field of view. Whereas its periscope telephoto shooter brings a 65mm f/2.6 lens and is capable of 3x optical or up to 120x digital zoom. Both the primary and periscope cameras have been optically stabilized.

Oppo Find X6 Pro Camera

On the other hand, the regular Oppo Find X6 also sports a triple 50MP setup with OIS on the primary and periscope units as the Pro sibling. But, it skips that 1-inch IMX989 sensor for the IMX890 instead, while the ultrawide unit also uses Samsung’s 1/2.76-inch JN1 sensor instead. Thankfully, it uses the same periscope camera as the Find X6 Pro. Both phones bring a 32MP IMX709 selfie shooter up front.

Hasselblad and MariSilicon X

In addition to the new camera sensor, the Oppo Find X6 series also benefits from Hasselblad’s color calibration and the MariSilicon X NPU. The Find X6 series is the second product out of Oppo and Hasselblad’s 3-year partnership.

Performance

Getting to performance, Oppo Find X6 is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9200, while the Pro variant goes for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 instead. Although both of them are flagship-level chips, the 8 Gen 2 has slightly better performance overall. Both phones use a vapor chamber cooling mechanism to keep the thermals in check.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC Architecture ISP Connectivity Photography Performance

As for the software, the Find X6 duo boot on ColorOS 13.1 built on top of Android 13. Likewise, users can choose between 12GB and 16GB RAM LPDDR5x variants with 256GB or 512GB UFS 4.0 storage options.

Rest of the specs

Fueling the Oppo Find X6 Pro is a 5,000mAh battery that supports 100W wired and 50W Qi wireless charging. And the X6 packs a smaller 4800mAh battery with 80W wired but no wireless charging support. Other key properties of these phones include an X-axis linear motor, an optical in-display fingerprint scanner for biometrics, and WiFi 7 connectivity.

Oppo Pad 2 is here with Dimensity 9000, Dolby Vision•Atmos support

Oppo first entered the tablet market with the Oppo Pad last year, followed by the Pad Air. Following their success, the company has launched Oppo Pad 2 in China today. Let’s take a look at what the Oppo Pad 2 has to offer, including its features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Oppo Pad 2 Overview:

Based on the design and specifications, the Oppo Pad 2 appears to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Pad, which will be available in the global market in April.

Design and Display

Design-wise, the Oppo Pad 2 is made of metal and has rounded corners. It weighs approximately 552 gm and is impressively thin at just 6.54 mm. Furthermore, this tablet has a polished back design that does not pick up fingerprints easily. You can buy this tablet in two colors: Nebula Gray and Light Feather Gold. There are also POGO pins on the left frame to connect Oppo’s “Smart Touch Keyboard” accessory.

Oppo Pad 2 Design and Display

In terms of display, we get an 11.61-inch LTPS LCD panel with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. Furthermore, it sports a 2K resolution (2800 x 2000 pixels) along with a 7:5 aspect ratio. Oppo says the Pad 2’s screen achieves a peak brightness of 500 nits.

Oppo also claims that this display has impressive color accuracy with ΔE<2. This tablet supports both Dolby Atmos audio and Dolby Vision HDR for enhanced content consumption too. You can also use Oppo Pencil (with 2ms latency) here to boost your productivity. But neither the keyboard nor the stylus ship with the tablet itself.

Performance

Under the hood, Oppo Pad 2 is powered by a flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity 9000 5G (4nm) chipset. And when it comes to memory, this tablet is available with 8/12GB LPDDR5 RAM and either 256/512GB UFS 3.1 storage options. In terms of OS, we get Android 13-based ColorOS 13.1 out of the box.

Rest of the specs

At the back, there is a single 13MP f/2.2 camera inside a rather distinct circular module. A front-facing 8MP camera is available for video conferencing and selfies. Oppo Pad 2 is fueled by a 9510mAh battery with 67W SuperVOOC charging. It doesn’t have a fingerprint reader onboard, so the biometrics option on this tablet is just face unlock. There’s no cellular connectivity either, while it does support tri-band WiFi 6.

    Retroid Pocket Flip is a portable gaming console with a clamshell design

    Handheld gaming consoles have grown in appeal in recent years. The space is dominated by Valve’s Steam Deck and a bunch of retro handheld makers. One such brand is Retroid Interactive which has launched its new console, the Retroid Pocket Flip. So let’s get into the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Retroid Pocket Flip in Nepal.

    Retro Pocket Flip Overview:

    Design and Display

    The key highlight of the Retro Pocket Flip is its clamshell folding design. It not only helps to protect the screen when not in use, but the hinge allows you to open the display at a preferred angle which makes it handy for gamers. The device isn’t that heavy either, measuring 270 grams. But is a bit thick at 25.4mm.

    Retroid Pocket Flip Design DisplayThe thickness is largely due to the trigger buttons located at the back. These are L1, L2, R1, and R2 shoulder buttons with analog triggers. Along with them, you get M1 and M2 keys which are user-programmable.

    Moreover, you get a standard array of button on the bottom half of the console, including D-PAD, ABXY keys, and analog sticks with hall sensors that also works as L3 and R3 buttons when you click them. The Retroid Pocket Flip is available in five color options: Black, Indigo, 16-bit, Sporty Red, and Watermelon.

    Display

    As for the display, you get a 4.7-inch screen with HD resolution (1334 x 750 pixels). The touchscreen’s peak brightness is rated at 450nits. Likewise, it supports 720p HDMI video output for streaming.

    Performance

    Powering the core of the Flip is a Unisoc T618 SoC. This entry-level Octa-core SoC consists of two fast ARM Cortex A75 cores at up to 2 GHz and six power-efficient ARM Cortex A55 cores at up to 2 GHz. Accompanying the chip is a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU at 850MHz.

    Retroid Pocket Flip Active Cooling

    Likewise, the Pocket Flip runs on Android 11 OS and comes with 4GB LPDDR4-1866 RAM and 128GB of eMMC microSD card reader. To keep the thermals in check, Retroid has also provided an Active Cooling solution. The official image shows vents for the airflow, indicating fans inside the portable device.

    Connectivity, and Ports

    The gaming device relies on WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connectivity. Talking of ports, it includes a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a micro HDMI port, and a microSD card reader. Retroid has also given two 1-watt speakers for the audio output.

    The new Midjourney 5 update takes photorealism to a whole ‘nother level

    These days, almost everyone has heard of ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer). And its latest iteration, GPT-4, can now respond to both text and image queries. Although its response is still text-based. But what if you wanted to transform your queries into images? That’s where AI art tools like DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney come in. And the latest Midjourney 5 (v5) update fixes some of the most pressing issues with such generative tools, to deliver incredibly photorealistic results.

    What is Midjourney?

    First, let’s learn a little more about Midjourney. It is an artificial intelligence (AI) art tool (or an image synthesizer) that is trained on an AI model based on millions of existing human-made artworks. And based on those models, it responds to user prompts with images. David Holz, a former student researcher at Max Planck, is the founder of Midjourney. Unlike most other AI tools, Midjourney responds to prompts via bot commands in Discord. Its main rivals are DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion.

    How is it different from DALL-E 2?

    Midjourney generates artistic and visually appealing photos, whereas DALL-E 2 tries to provide us with actual photos most of the time. Check the images below for a better idea.

    What’s new in Midjourney 5?

    The new Midjourney 5 update—which is currently only available to paid subscribers—takes its AI capability to the next level. With Midjourney v5, you will get even more realistic and detailed images than with version 4. Midjourney has previously faced criticism for the way it handled human hands and teeth, as it depicted 7 fingers in one hand and a garishly unnatural number of teeth.

    However, these issues have been addressed in version 5.

    For the best results, Midjourney v5 requires you to type in a more detailed prompt in a proper sentence rather than just a bunch of words separated by commas. Version 5 also features improved blending. Midjourney used to simply join two images when asked to blend them, but now the blending is nearly perfect.

    But texts in images still remain a challenge. If you want to add text to your image accurately, you must use Photoshop or other tools. According to Midjourney officials, version 6 will be released within the next two months.

    Nokia 6130 runs on the company’s Series 30+ software. It means that the phone comes with the iconic Snake game built-in. In addition, the fonts are now larger, and the menus are more zoomed in for better readability. There is also a dedicated Accessibility mode that allows users to configure one-icon view, change font size further, and increase volume to the maximum.

    Nokia 6130 DS also has a 3.5mm headphone jack that you can connect to listen to music from the phone. Moving on, the radio on this device is both wired or wireless and therefore can work without any external antenna.
