0

ZTE Axon 20 5G was the first phone to feature an in-display selfie camera. The company improved the tech in its successor. And, now we have the third-gen in-display camera in the newly released Axon 40 Ultra. Along with it, the company has also launched Axon 40 Pro. And, in this article, we will be discussing the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the ZTE Axon 40 Pro, and Axon 40 Ultra in Nepal.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Overview:

Third Gen In-display Camera

The main highlight of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is undoubtedly the next-gen under-display camera. As a result, you don’t get any notch or anything of that sort here.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra under-display camera

The phone employs a new UDC Pro chip and a new sub-pixel arrangement above the camera to make the display area more uniform. This is backed by a 1-drive 1-pixel circuit design to reduce the anti-aliasing effect, allowing each pixel to be controlled separately. The phone also has a self-developed pro-photography algorithm 3.0 for improved post-processing of the image.

Thanks to all of this tech, the Axon 40 Ultra’s 16MP under-display camera can snap selfies much like other flagship phones’ front cameras.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Back Cameras

On the back, the phone houses a trio of 64MP cameras, with a main and ultrawide lens using Sony IMX787 sensor. The remaining is a telephoto lens that supports up to 5.7x optical zoom. The primary and telephoto cameras both include optical image stabilization (OIS). Likewise, this trio of 64MP lenses is accompanied by a flicker sensor, a ToF sensor, and a tri-microphone setup for audio zoom and recognition features. By the way, one can shoot at up to 8K resolution from all three cameras.

Performance

Powering the smartphone is Qualcomm’s current-best Snapdragon 8 gen 1 processor. The memory option includes 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Yet, the latter is exclusive to a 1TB storage configuration while the former two are paired with either 256GB or 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Samsung announces UFS 4.0 memory with 2x speed boost, improved power-efficiency

2

Samsung has unveiled the 4th iteration of the Universal Flash Storage (UFS) solution. It’s an upgrade over the currently used UFS 3.0 and 3.1 and brings a 2x performance boost. Read along to know more about Samsung UFS 4.0 flash storage.

Samsung UFS 4.0 Overview:

To begin, UFS is a type of non-volatile memory that can store documents and files for a longer period of time. While the older eMMC achieves the same thing, it has a few flaws of its own. 

For instance, it cannot read or write data at the same time; while its bandwidth is also limited, resulting in slower read and write speeds. This is why UFS has emerged as a viable choice for smartphone manufacturers since it has faster read and write speeds. 

While it was initially found in flagship handsets, as the technology has matured, we are now seeing it on budget and mid-range phones as well. The UFS 4.0 that we will be discussing here is the fourth iteration of the flash storage system.

Improved performance

Samsung Semiconductor announced the UFS 4.0 storage solution via its official Twitter handle. Per the company, it has been approved by the board of directors of the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC).

The new standard provides up to 23.2Gbps per lane, which is twice as fast as UFS 3.1’s 11.6Gbps. “That much bandwidth is perfect for 5G smartphones requiring huge amounts of data processing, and is also expected to be adopted in future automotive applications, AR, and VR as well,” says Samsung.

Furthermore, Samsung’s UFS 4.0 memory solution a sequential read speed of 6.0MB/s per mA, which is a 46% gain over its predecessor. This will result in longer battery life and faster read and write speeds. By the way, the storage capacity can go as high as 1TB with this new standard. 

In terms of actual size, UFS 4.0 will measure 11mm x 13mm x 1mm, allowing for more effective space usage.

Samsung UFS 4.0 Availability

As per Samsung, the mass production of new memory will commence in the third quarter of 2022. Considering that, we can expect UFS 4.0-equipped device as early as next year.

Xiaomi announced Redmi 10 Prime 2022 in Nepal in February this year. The company is now offering a small price cut in the phone’s base variant, making it a bit more affordable for consumers. Let’s get into the specs, features, latest price, and availability of Redmi 10 Prime in Nepal.

Redmi 10 Prime 2022 Overview:
