  • Motorola X30 Pro is world’s first smartphone to use Samsung’s 200MP camera sensor

    Motorola X30 Pro is world’s first smartphone to use Samsung’s 200MP camera sensor

    The Moto X30 Pro, which debuted alongside Motorola’s Moto Razr 3, is the first smartphone in the world to have a 200MP ISOCELL HP1 sensor created by Samsung and a top-tier CPU.

    Unexpectedly, while having premium specs, the Motorola X30 Pro is not that expensive.

    The Moto X30 Pro sports a large sensor with 200,000,000 pixels. This is then combined with a unique Chameleon Cell technology that employs pixel binning techniques of 2×2 and 4×4. While the second combination produces more traditional 12.5MP photographs with larger individual pixels at 2.56m, the first combination produces 50MP images with 1.2m pixels. It is also possible to shoot with the full 200MP resolution, however the pixels will only be 0.64 mm in size.

    Three cameras are incorporated on the rear side. A 50MP ultrawide and a 12MP telephoto with a 2x optical zoom are available. A massive 60MP camera is used for taking selfies. The rear can record video in up to 8K resolution at 30 frames per second.

    The 6.67-inch OLED screen with 144Hz refresh rate and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor round out the low-cost flagship’s features. On the screen, Motorola features a fingerprint scanner. The base model comes with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage, while the top-end variant features a memory configuration of 12 GB/512 GB.

    It’s intriguing to learn that the Moto X30 Pro is now the first phone in the world with a 200MP Samsung camera. On the other hand, it appears strange that it is being used for the first time by another brand and not a Samsung flagship.

    Motorola X30 Pro price

    In terms of cost, the Moto X30 Pro’s base model will cost for Rs120,000 ($550) in China. The most costly selection will set you back Rs146,400 ($670). It is currently up for pre-order. Although its global availability is not specified, given that certain Moto devices are marketed abroad, it’s possible that it will be released outside of China.

  • Samsung is getting out of LCD business by the next month

    Samsung is getting out of LCD business by the next month

    Samsung Display has decided to cut its LCD production unexpectedly by July 2022. The stoppage was originally planned for December, but it can now take place as soon as the end of this month.

    According to insiders, Samsung’s competition has been quite harsh, and the company wanted to avoid further losses.

    Keeping in view previous Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) reports, the price of LCD panels is only 36.6 per cent of what it was in 2014, when production was at its peak. BOE, a Chinese display manufacturer, and AU Optronics, a Taiwanese company, are also offering lower prices to customers.

    Samsung had planned to exit the LCD business in 2020, but lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic increased demand for home entertainment on low-cost devices like affordable TVs and smartphones. As a result, Samsung was forced to postpone this significant step.

    Samsung officials have yet to respond to a request for comment, but we expect to learn more about the shutdown’s financial implications in July when the tech giant releases its Q2 earnings report.

    As per the Korea Times, people’s interest in LCDs has waned, while they are increasingly drawn to display technologies such as Quantum Dot and OLED.

    A US market research firm also revealed the LCD panel price index has fallen dramatically since late 2021 and is now down 60 per cent year on year.

    Moreover, in recent years, smartphones have also shifted from LCD displays to OLED displays.

  • Oppo Pakistan to launch F21 pro with Sony’s “DSLR-like camera” on April 11

    Oppo Pakistan to launch F21 pro with Sony’s “DSLR-like camera” on April 11

    The Oppo F21 Pro will be released in Pakistan on April 11 at 4:30 pm, according to Oppo’s official website where it also exhibited the handset’s official design.

    According to rumors, the F21 Pro 4G is a rebranded Reno7 with Snapdragon 695 processor which may or may not be true as it is expected to come up with a newer chip.

    The phone will be available in Sunset Orange and Cosmic Black, according to the company. The latter has a Fibreglass-Leather design that “doubles as a frameless battery cover to make the phone thin, light, and sturdy”.

    To maintain fidelity and longevity, the leather-like material was put through rigorous stress tests using rubbing alcohol, rubber erasers, and even denim swatches.

    The Sunset Orange is only 7.54mm thick, while the Cosmic Black is 7.49mm thick, according to Oppo. Both are 175 grammes and features a 2.5D glass display.

    The device will have a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. It will run ColorOS 12.1, which is based on Android 11, and will be powered by a 4,500mAh battery with 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging.

    It will be equipped with a triple camera system, including a 64MP main rear camera, a 2MP macro lens camera, and a 2MP depth camera.

    In addition, an orbit light can be seen around one of the camera sensors that notify users of incoming notifications, calls, and other events. A 32 MP lens will be used on the front-facing camera from Sony.

    Oppo Pakistan wrote on its website, “Exclusively designed by OPPO and built with Sony hardware, the IMX709 front camera image sensor allows you to capture bright and clear images in the low light environment”.

    It sounds weird that the firm has placed the high-end camera on the front since it would have been better for the phonemaker’s sales and worth if the Sony camera had been placed at the back.
