OnePlus Nord N300 official with Dimensity 810 5G, 48MP camera

OnePlus has announced its latest phone of the affordable Nord series in the US. The newly announced Nord N300 succeeds last year’s Nord N200 5G and brings a bigger display, faster chip, and faster charging among other upgrades. So, let’s walk through the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the OnePlus Nord N300 in Nepal.

OnePlus Nord N300 Overview:

To being with, OnePlus Nord N300 is not a phone built from the ground up. Like many other budget and mid-range phones in the Nord lineup, OnePlus Nord N300 is a rebranded Oppo phone. You can find the Nord N300 listed as Oppo A77 5G in many Asian markets. There is also a 4G variant of the phone available in Nepal.

Design and Display

That aside, let’s talk about the design. OnePlus Nord N300 looks like a premium phone with its rear matte finish. The sides are flat and the edges round. OnePlus is offering the phone in two color options: Black and Blue.

Over on the front, OnePlus Nord N300 features a 6.56-inch LCD screen with a waterdrop notch. While the screen is bigger, it makes the phone look outdated even when compared to its predecessor because of the notch. The refresh rate is unchanged at 90Hz but the resolution is reduced to just HD+.

Performance and Memory

Under the hood, OnePlus Nord N300 packs the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chip. It is a 6nm chip with two Cortex-A76 performance cores and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. The chip is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 64GB of UFS 2.2 storage. You can even expand the latter using an external SD card but that means giving up on the dual-SIM functionality.

Camera

The dual-tone rectangular camera module on the back of the OnePlus Nord N300 is home to a 48MP primary and a 2MP depth sensor. They are accompanied by an LED flash. Over on the front, the notch encloses a 16MP shooter, which is an upgrade over the 8MP camera on the Oppo A77 5G.

Rest of the specs

OnePlus Nord N300 5G has a 5,000mAh battery and supports 33W fast charging. A compatible charger is included in the box. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and supports 2D face unlock. It runs on Android 12 with OnePlus’s OxygenOS on top.

Scientists achieve a record 1.84 Petabit/s of data transfer over single fiber optic cable

The demand for broadband communication services has soared in the past 5 years. So, data engineers, and infrastructure are always looking out for new ways to increase the available bandwidth. And recently, scientists have achieved a milestone of 1.84 Petabit/s data transfer via a single optical fiber cable. Let’s learn more about it here.

1.84 Petabit/s data transfer:

Scientists from the Technical University of Denmark in Copenhagen conducted the research where they were able to transfer 1.84 Petabits of data per second using a standard optical fiber cable in tandem with a photonic chip.

To put that into perspective, the average internet bandwidth used by the entire global population is estimated to be around 1 petabit/s. Since photonic chip technology and the transfer medium (optical fiber) use light waves, both have proven to be excellent data conductors.

The process

The team of Danish scientists, led by Asbjørn Arvad Jørgensen, also gave insights into how the actual process works. First and foremost, the streams of data used in the trial were split into 37 lines, with each one sent down a different optical thread in the cable.

Each line were then split into 223 smaller data chunks that matches different color frequencies on the optical spectrum. This allows for creating a “frequency comb” where data gets transmitted in different colors at the same time without any interference.

Scientists called it a “massively parallel space-and-wavelength multiplexed data transmission” system. Data splitting and re-splitting greatly increased the potential data throughput supported by a fiber optic cable.

Also Read:

Now, testing and verifying 1.84 petabits/s bandwidth is a difficult task since no computer is capable of doing so. As a result, the research team used dummy data over individual channels to confirm the full bandwidth capacity. That means each channel was tested individually to ensure that the data received matched the transmitted data.

Availability Plans

Since the research was done with fiber cables, scientists believe a device can be built to upgrade our existing infrastructure. An optical processing device with a Photonic chip should enable fiber cable to accommodate such high speed. It will be the size of a matchbox that could replace optical data encoders and decoders of comparable size. This could result in an 8,251x increase in data bandwidth in the existing infrastructure.

Solana details its first Web3-powered Android smartphone

Solana, a public blockchain company, announced the Solana Saga, a Web3-focused smartphone, back in June. The company has now revealed the detailed key specifications of the device. It’s a flagship Android phone with features integrated with the Solana blockchain. So, let’s get into the specs, features, availability, and price of the Solana Saga.

Solana Saga Overview:

Backed by Web3

To begin, Web3 is a new iteration of the World Wide Web (WWW) based on blockchain technology. Similarly, Solana is a public blockchain solution for managing digital assets like tokens and NFTs. As a result, it is reasonable to expect Solana-backed smartphones to enable simple and secure transactions.

The company has also released the Solana Mobile Stack, an Android framework that allows developers to create rich mobile experiences for wallets and apps. The SDK is already available for developers to build applications on Solana.

Also Read:

Built by OSOM

While Solana is in charge of all software refinements, OSOM is responsible for all the hardware requirements for the Saga. OSOM is a startup founded by the people behind Essential devices, which is currently owned by Nothing.

Last year, OSOM teased a smartphone that is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022. Eventually, they partnered with Solana to introduce a blockchain-focused smartphone.

Specifications

The Solana Saga sports a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display with a ceramic back supported by a stainless steel frame. With the use of such materials, the phone weighs 247 grams, but its 8.4mm thickness is still comfortable on the hands. Likewise, its back panel has a triangle-shaped camera cutout and a fingerprint scanner. The smartphone is also dust and water-resistant, with an IP68 rating.

The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, and interestingly, it comes with the latest Android 13. This is paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Per the company, the security features of the 8+ Gen 1 will assist them in enabling Solana Mobile Stack’s Seed Vault.

It will segregate the private key, seed phrases, and secrets from the application layer while still allowing interaction with apps running on the device or in a mobile browser. For those who are unfamiliar, the Application Layer simply guarantees that an application may interact properly over multiple networks or the internet.

Moreover, the phone has a 4100 mAh battery and supports wireless charging. On the rear, you’ll find a dual-camera arrangement headlined by a 50MP IMX766 f/1.8 sensor and accompanied by a 12MP IMX373 f/2.2 120-degree ultrawide camera. It sports a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies.

Solana Saga Specifications:

Dimensions: 164 x 75.3 x 8.4mm
Weight: 247g
IP Rating: Yes, IP68
Display: 6.67-inch OLED, 120Hz
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4nm)

There is no built-in optical stabilization but the camera has electronic stabilization. However, turning it on will limit the zoom to a 1.23x crop.

The ZV-1F is capable of shooting 4K videos at 30fps and 1080p videos up to 120fps. It also has a Background Defocus feature paired with Face Priority Auto Exposure (AE) for better selfie-style videos.

Because it is a Sony camera, users can also enjoy features like Eye AF, SteadyShot, and S&Q, which allows users to capture 60x hyperlapse in HD. Sony’s Shot Mark app allows you to export short clips under 60 seconds directly to a smartphone.

Rest of the specs

The ZV-1F also supports screw-on ND filters and comes with built-in directional microphones. The microphones have a forward bias for voice isolation. Likewise, the camera ships with a removable windscreen.

Furthermore, it has Wi-Fi, Type-C, mini HDMI, and NFC for connectivity. In addition, users can also use wireless tripod grips like GP-VPT2BT which can be controlled via the Imaging Edge Mobile app.
