Motorola Moto X30 Pro launched as world’s first 200MP camera smartphone

Motorola launched the world’s first smartphone with a 200MP camera dubbed the Moto X30 Pro. The same event also introduced the world to the refreshed Razr 2022 foldable. Here, we will go through the Motorola Moto X30 Pro and its specs, features, availability, and price in Nepal.

Motorola Moto X30 Pro Overview:

Massive 200MP Primary Camera

The main highlight of the Moto X30 Pro is, no doubt, its camera. The phone is the first commercial product with Samsung’s 200MP ISOCELL HP1 sensor, which the company announced last year.

Motorola previously shared the first photos from X30 Pro’s 200MP sensor on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging site. The company even briefed that the 200MP camera will take 50MP photos natively with 4-in-1 pixel binning.

It is a different approach than the 108MP cameras on current mainstream flagships that utilize nona-binning (9-in-1). Motorola even claimed that HP 1’s 4-in-1 binning is superior to the 9-in-1 binning on other phones.

On the videography front, ISOCELL HP1 can shoot 8K videos at 30fps should the phone’s processor allow it. The phone also supports Optical Image Stabilization. As you can see in the pictures, the 200MP camera has resulted in a massive camera bump on the Moto X30 Pro.

It even raises higher than the other two sensors. Talking about the two sensors, one is a 12MP telephoto camera with 2x zoom and the other is a 50MP ultrawide. These are not as groundbreaking as the 200MP sensor, but impressive nonetheless.

The front camera has a 60MP sensor with 4-in-1 binning.

125W Fast Charging

Moving on, the Moto X30 Pro is Motorola’s first phone to have 125W fast charging support. The power brick uses GaN technology and weighs around 130 grams. Besides that, the phone also supports 50W wireless charging.

Motorola claims that the mAh battery on the smartphone can go from 0% to 100% in just 19 minutes.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

In terms of performance, the Moto X30 Pro features Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It is a mid-year refresh of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and is based on TSMC’s 4nm process.

There are two RAM configurations of the phone. The base variant has 8GB of RAM, whereas Motorola also offers a 12GB option. More so, the available storage options are 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

Design, Display

In terms of design, the phone features a familiar slab shape, a rectangular camera bump, and a curved display. Its back panel has a Motorola logo in the middle and bottom. The phone is available in 4 colors: blue, white, grey and black.

The smartphone brings a 6.7” FHD+ curved AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. The 10-bit panel covers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and supports HDR 10+ and DC dimming. It is rated for 1,250 nits peak brightness and offers a 1,500Hz touch sampling rate.

Oppo Watch 3 Pro becomes first wearable with Snapdragon W5, LTPO screen

Last month, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon W5 series —the company’s latest flagship wearable platform. Yesterday, Oppo launched its Watch 3 Series smartwatches as the first wearables based on the new platform. So, let’s take a look at the specifications, features, expected price, and availability of the Oppo Watch 3 and 3 Pro in Nepal.

Oppo Watch 3 Series Overview:

Snapdragon W5

For starters, both the Oppo Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro are powered by the vanilla Snapdragon W5. Technically, this makes them the first smartwatch based on the W5 series. However, the first smartwatch with the W5+ will be from Mobvoi.

To recall, the Snapdragon W5+ features an additional always-on co-processor that is missing on the standard W5. But it won’t be a problem for the Oppo Watch 3 series as the company has incorporated Ambiq’s Apollo 4 Plus co-processor instead.

Design

Except for some changes, the Oppo Watch 3 and 3 Pro retain the design of the last-gen Oppo Watch 2. We get rectangular AMOLED panels on both models. The one on the Pro model is fully curved and measures 1.91-inch diagonally. It even has LTPO technology with a maximum refresh rate of up to 60Hz.

The vanilla model features a smaller 1.75-inch non-LTPO AMOLED screen It matches the Pro model in pixel density.

Oppo Watch 3 Design

The main frame of the Oppo Watch 3 and 3 Pro is made of aluminum while we get an LNP special glass fiber reinforced PC on the bottom. The Pro model even gets a mechanical crown made of stainless steel. The Watch 3 series even has a 3D glass cover for protection.

Oppo is offering two colorways for each smartwatch. The Pro model is available in Platinum Black and Desert Brown while the vanilla model replaces the latter with Feather Gold.

Health and Fitness Tracking

The Oppo Watch 3 Series features the basic health and fitness tracking you expect of a smartwatch. Both the Oppo Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro can track your heart rate, continuous blood oxygen level, and sleep. Furthermore, you can even monitor the elasticity of your blood vessels in just 30 seconds.

For this, the watches come with an optical heart rate sensor, ECG sensor, and blood oxygen sensor. In addition, they can have a barometer, ambient light sensor, and an accelerator + gyro sensor.

They even have a new Family Care Mode which tracks the health status of your family members. There is even a Healthy Pixie guide that tells users how healthy he/she is by visual representation of a cat.

The Oppo Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro have over 100 different sports modes with automatic detection of 6 of them. Oppo also says to have improved posture detection (in sports like tennis) and improved heart rate detection in sports like running.

Smart Features

Oppo also revealed that it is working on a car app for the Watch 3 series. Once it is live, users will be able to start their vehicle, check battery percentage, turn on AC, and more using the Oppo Watch 3 and 3 Pro. These new watches even have built-in navigation, NFC for touchless payment, and even a voice assistant.

Battery and Charging

Oppo Watch 3 Pro features a 550mAh battery rated for 5 days of typical usage. On the other hand, the vanilla Oppo Watch 3 has a smaller 400mAh battery rated for just 4 days. Oppo Watch 3 series supports flash charge with 10 minutes of charging enough for a day’s worth of endurance. The full charging process takes around 65 minutes for the Pro and 60 minutes for the vanilla Oppo Watch 3.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 Launch Overview:

Xiaomi is set to launch its newest foldable device in China a day after Samsung. The announcement came via the company’s Weibo account where it revealed the Mix Fold’s August 11 launch.

Several leaders including Digital Chat Station spotted potential Mix Fold 2 screenshots from Lao Wei, mobile product manager of Xiaomi.

The screenshot highlights 1,080 x 2,520px resolution. Thus, confirming the rumors of a 21:9 cover display on Fold 2. Likewise, the foldable is likely to house the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB storage.

Samsung might unveil a foldable tablet in the first quarter of 2023

Samsung is a leading force when it comes to foldable smartphones. We are just a day away from Unpacked where Samsung will reveal the next-gen Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4. To maintain its lead in foldable tech, Samsung is reportedly working on a folding tablet. So, let’s glance at the possible Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab and rumors surrounding it.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab Rumors:

According to a user on the Korean blog Naver, Samsung is currently working on a brand new foldable device. It is said to be different from the existing Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, which means, it will be a whole new lineage of foldable devices from Samsung.

The user also claims that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab and the Galaxy Tab S9 will be announced in tandem. This release from Samsung will help the company “further solidify the leadership” in the foldable market.

While the leaks surrounding the Flip and Fold are rampant, there is little to no buzz about the Galaxy Tab S9. However, based on previous release practices, we can expect the tab to go official in Q1 of 2022. Hence, we can possibly see a foldable Samsung tablet at the beginning of next year.

Also Read:

What to expect?

Samsung is no stranger to folding displays in various shapes and sizes. As Samsung was the first company to release a well-rounded folding phone, we can expect it to be the first to do so with tablets. Previously, Samsung showed off concepts such as the Flex S and Flex G.

While the Z Fold had two folds, the concept Flex S has three folds and folds into an “S” shape. There is no need for a separate front display for the S concept since the sole tri-fold screen turns into one.

The Flex S tablet opens up to form a 16:10 aspect ratio display which is good for content consumption and web browsing. Samsung also showcased a smaller version of the Flex S at a recent trade show.

Flex G is another tri-fold concept from Samsung. While the S folded outwards, this folds inward like a clam shell. The company has also revealed a rollable display as well as a 13-inch foldable laptop with no keyboard.

The Galaxy Z Fold Tab is rumored to feature a tri-fold display like the one on the concept Flex-S. The tablet will also come with S-pen support. As of now, the rest of the features are unknown. Despite the approach, the principle of all Samsung’s foldables are the same; big display in a compact form factor.

Go Games’ new console brings proprietary AI Voice assistant that rivals Siri and Alexa

Go Games, a British manufacturer of handheld consoles has introduced the TRDR Pocket II. In a nutshell, it may appear to be a standard console. However, it is baked with what the company claims to be the world’s most sophisticated AI assistant. Continue reading to find out more about the Go Games TRDR Pocket.

Go Games TRDR Pocket II Overview:

The TRDR Pocket is the latest attempt by the British company for portable consoles. And actually, this is the ‘Series 2’ model—the first-generation TRDR was not well-received by customers due to the fact that it is similar to Retroid Pocket and has different limitations in and of itself.

However, the TRDR Pocket Series 2 is following a different route (almost). It still has the design of a portable console, including a D-Pad, joystick, and XABYCD buttons. However, what distinguishes this handheld game console from others is the presence of a proprietary AI voice assistant built and trained by Go Games itself.

Hey Julia, Scarlet, Tony

There are three distinct AI personalities built into the console. Julia, Scarlet, and Tony are their names, and a single console will only have one of them deployed inside the device.

Go Games claims that this AI allows players to have more natural conversations than the existing popular Siri and Alexa. According to Gianni O’Connor, CEO, and Founder of Go Games, “it could be the first AI in the world to pass Alan Turing’s infamous Turing Test.”

Also Read:

The root

However, a proprietary AI assistant on a game console may appear to be an odd notion. However, consumer complaints such as “Hey, it’s not functioning, I don’t know how to reset this” triggered O’Connor to create this.

While the first idea was to create a simple AI that could guide customers through repairs, O’Connor soon realized he could create something far more complex than a customer-service chatbot.

“The standout difference with our proprietary AI is that we didn’t teach it anything specific, only how to learn,” says O’Connor. That means, the AI gains knowledge by reading the information available across different platforms. As a result, it began by reading as much material as it could get on the internet.

It then learned about the contexts, feelings, and opinions. The developer’s utilized court cases to teach AI about murder and self-defense. It was then taught about love and emotions through film scripts. According to Mr. Gianni, comedy is the hardest thing to teach since AI fails to comprehend nuance and timing.

Furthermore, when asked why there are three AI characters, O’Connor stated, ‘It was just Scarlet in the beginning. And the only reason we ended up with two other AI personas is that the main AI, Scarlet, had conflicting opinions and ended up sort of fragmenting.’

He added ‘’We just allowed them to grow. And that’s what we think true AI is. I was here to start this, and now I’m just here to monitor and safeguard it.’

Output

While the company has not shown any live presentations of the AI assistant, there are a few Q&A replies by ‘Scarlet’ made live by Go Games. We’ve included a screenshot of the replies for you to have a look at.

Q&A with AI Scarlet — Image Source: Dailymail.co.uk

By the way, Go Games will put its AI system to the test on August 20 at a private event at the Science Museum in London. The system specialty will be shown to a group of tech specialists and a third-party judge.

Rest of the specs

Moving on to the hardware, the TRDR Pocket is powered by an Helio P60 processor. This is accompanied by 4GB of RAM and a 4000mAh battery. It contains 192GB of storage that can be expanded with a microSD card.

A 3.5-inch touchscreen is located on the front of the device. Likewise, it boots in the Android environment. The I/O option supports HDMI output as well as a USB Type-C connector.

Go Game TRDR Pocket II Specifications:

Display: 4.7” IPS, 750×1334 pixels, 16:9
Processor: Helio P60
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 192GB
Wireless connectivity: Built-in WiFi
Wired connectivity: 720p Mini HDMI Output for TV
Battery: 4000mAh
Charging: USB-C Charging

Go Game TRDR Pocket II Price in Nepal and Availability

The TRDR Pocket II is now available for pre-order for $399 USD and will begin shipping on September 5th. If Go Game TRDR Pocket II is released in Nepal, we estimate it to cost NPR 55,000.

On paper, this processor choice may not appear to be very powerful, but keep in mind that it is a mobile gaming console. In fact, it works on Android 11, so you can easily play PS2 and GameCube games. This is complemented with a new game launcher and emulation UI designed for consoles.

Furthermore, the device’s base model has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The RAM may be upgraded to 3GB for $10, but the storage option stays constant.

Furthermore, aesthetically the device looks similar to the Nintendo Switch Lite, with comparable button placements. As you can see, Retroid has opted for Nintendo’s YXAB layout over the more typical XYBA pattern. Similarly, the Pocket 3 comes in six various colors that combine a combo of retro game console and modern technology.

Rest of the specs

The gaming console is fueled by a 4000mAh battery and supports USB Type-C charging. Besides this, you get a 3.5mm headphone jack and two speaker vents that outputs 2W audio.

AMD Ryzen 4000 Series APU Price in Nepal

Here in this article, you can find the latest price of Ryzen 4000 series APU from AMD in Nepal.

Ryzen 4000 Series Overview

It’s important to note that the latest AMD Ryzen 4000 desktop processors are all based on 7nm Ryzen Zen 2 architecture and not Zen 3. The latter is said to debut later this year. All the processors come with integrated Radeon graphics, which gives them an advantage over their Intel counterparts. AMD is already calling it the world’s most advanced x86 desktop processor with graphics. The Ryzen 4000 desktop APUs continue to make use of the AM4 socket.

AMD Ryzen 4000 Series Desktop APU

The G-series is among the first offering under the new Ryzen 4000 lineup. This includes six new processors. The three of them have G-suffix and operate on 65W TDP.

Each of the G-suffix processors has a GE-suffixed counterpart that operates on 35W TDP. The G-series is based on the same die and architecture as their mobile counterparts. And the only difference being the TDP and clock frequency have been scaled up in the desktop processors.

The GE-suffixed processors are underpowered and are hence suited for a less-demanding environment. Top-of-the-line Ryzen 7 4700G features eight cores and 16 threads with a base frequency of 3.6 GHz which can go up to 4.4 GHz when boosted.

AMD Ryzen Pro 4000 Desktop APU

The Ryzen Pro 4000 G-series desktop processors are the same as their non-Pro counterparts. But they come with an extra layer of security mechanism for office and business settings. These extra features are what the company calls Pro features. Part of the Pro Security is the AMD Memory Guard and AMD Secure Processor features. On top of that, there are other features that promise easy deployment, management, and administration of the processors.
