Details for the two devices – known as the Z6 II and Z7 II (surprise, surprise) – are still kept under wraps but rumours of their specifications have been circulating around the web prior to this. According to a report by Nikon Rumors, both models may feature some similarities with the original Z6 and Z7, namely their body designs and EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) hardware. The report added that the new duo will each include Dual EXPEED processor, improved autofocus (for face, eye and animal detection), more buffer memory, 4K/60p video capability and USB power charging....

Beyond the touch pen nub at the top, the stylus actually looks almost identical to the Joy-Con strap accessory. It has the same two buttons on the side for easier access to the usually tiny SL and SR buttons. It even comes with the same strap. Despite all this, the accessory described in the patent is more than just a fancier version of an existing one. When attached to a Joy-Con, touching an item in-game with the stylus makes the Joy-Con rumble....

Beyond the obvious upgrade to the screen, the new Nintendo Switch OLED also comes with a slightly smaller fan on the inside and a thinner heat pipe. It you remember, it’s a similar change to the PS5 when the new revision with the better screw was made available, that is the shrinking of the cooling system’s hardware. This may or may not result in its own debate as to if this is an upgrade or downgrade as far as cooling is concerned....

According to the publication, Nothing showcased a prototype of its upcoming smartphone behind closed doors to industry executives during the currently ongoing Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. A source familiar with the matter told TechCrunch that the device will feature a design language with “elements of transparency,” much like the company’s earbuds which was launched last year. This is unsurprising, as Pei did previously state in an official blog post that the design approach is planned to be Nothing’s staple for its future products....

The Z40S Pro, of course, runs on the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and to compensate for that extra power, it is equipped with a bigger vapour chamber as well as a graphene sheet and thermal paste with synthetic diamonds to keep the phone cool. It can be configured with 8, 12 or 18GB of RAM with between 128GB and 1TB of storage. Just like its predecessor, the Z40S Pro has a 6....

The rumours first appeared on Twitter, posted by the prominent leakster and rumour monger, kopite7kime (@kopite7kimi). According to kopite, the AD102, which is expected to be the premium and top-tier version of the Lovelace architecture, will be the one that will be commanding that absurdly high 800W of power, while running at peak performance. The rumour train doesn’t stop with the AD102 Lovelace desktop GPU either. In the same tweet, kopite lists down three more GPUs, the AD103, AD104, and AD106, all of which will have peak TDP of 450W, 400W, and 260W, respectively....

To be absolutely clear, CMP is not a graphics card and will not do graphics; NVIDIA explicitly states that CMP units do not meet the necessary specifications or requirements of a GeForce graphics card and therefore should not impact the availability of said Ampere-powered GPUs. Sending that point home is the fact that CMP units are also devoid of any display outputs for better airflow, as well as possess lower peak core voltage and frequencies....

Specs-wise, the card is based on NVIDIA’s latest Turing GPU architecture, and features 6GB of GDDR6 graphics memory spread across a 192-bit memory bus. It is also capable of up to 52 trillion Tensor FLOPS and achieving up to five Gigarays per seconds. In terms of performance, Huang told us on stage that the card was more powerful than a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. In addition, he also said that, thanks to the combination of his company’s RTX and DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) visual technology, the RTX 2060 could sustain average framerates betwen 60 fps and 82 fps....

According to the official newsletter, the payment to Softbank will be transacted through a “combination of its shares and cash”. As to what NVIDIA plans on doing with the assets of its newest acquisition, the brand says that it will be using ARM chips to the drive its AI endeavours further. To that end, it also announced that it will be “expanding ARM’s R&D presence” by building a new supercomputer within its the chipmaker’s home of Cambridge....

Like so many other major tech giants around the world, NVIDIA was forced to cancel its annual GTC event due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Flight tickets and hotel accommodations were cancelled and refunds were given. While the company decided that it would simply pre-record talks with key partners and developers that were either long-time patrons of the event or new companies using NVIDIA’s GPU technology for the first time....

The discovery was picked up by German-site HardwareLuxx, who discovered the rebadging of the GA102-250. As a quick primer, the GA102-250 was supposed to offer specs that are nearly identical to the RTX 3090; its CUDA core count was rated at 10240, which is just 256 cores shy from what NVIDIA’s top-tier card has. To that end, plans for the GPU has been pushed aside and the GPU maker already has a GA102-225 GPU for the RTX 3080 Ti instead....

As those who have been following the esports scene closely will know, ONE has recently been expanding their operations in esports, with their first esports events being the ONE Street Fighter Tokyo Challenge and the ONE Tekken Tokyo Invitational.

The official images confirm that the renders that we saw previously were indeed accurate, with three cameras and an LED flash in a single bump. Unfortunately, the image set doesn’t come with any that depicts the front of the OnePlus 10 Pro. For its launch date, current reports mention 11 January for the launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro in China. No word on when that will be for the rest of the world....

From its gorgeous display with its ultra-high refresh rate right down to its highly capable main camera, we’ll be taking a look at what makes the OnePlus 8 Pro the high-end device that it is. Specifications Naturally, there are a couple of differences between the OnePlus 8 Pro and its non-Pro sibling. Its display is slightly bigger and longer at 6.78-inches with its 120Hz refresh rate gives its an edge against its sibling, no questions asked....

Like the previous teaser, not much of the OnePlus 8T was revealed – save for some brief glimpses which still doesn’t highlight much of the new device. According to the previous leak that we’ve previously covered, the phone is said to feature a 6.55-inch flat AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, and supports 65W fast charging. — OnePlus (@oneplus) September 21, 2020 On its back is believed to be a quad camera setup with 48MP, 16MP, 5MP and 2MP sensors – but each shooter’s functions were not detailed....

It is also meant to lay down the foundation for 5G technology which is expected to be deployed through phase 2 of JENDELA sometime in 2022 or 2023. One of the main objectives for JENDELA’s Phase 1 is to increase the national average 4G download speed to 35Mbps by 2022....

Because as brilliant an idea the Dynamic Island is on the software side of things, it is ultimately a pretty disguise for the two cutouts on the screen of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. The great software is the polish that’s being used to hide or doll up something that’s inherently hard on the eyes. And you know what they say about polishing a turd… [Image: Apple.]At this point, I should probably clarify what I mean by Dynamic Island being a “tragedy”....

The global Reno 3 Pro features a Mediatek Helio P95 SoC instead of a Snapdragon 765G 5G chipset found on the Chinese version, therefore excluding support for 5G connectivity. It is also equipped with 8GB RAM instead of up to 12GB, while storage comes in either 128GB or 256GB. The phone is equipped with the same 4,025mAh battery with 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 support. Another major difference compared to the Chinese 5G edition is its display....

First on the list is the next-generation RGBW sensor, which now features deep-trench isolation and a new self-developed algorithm known as Quadra pixel binning. These are aimed to reduce cross-talk and moiré during image captures – a flaw that existed in early generation RGBW technology. OPPO claims the sensor is also capable of capturing 60% more light than its predecessors, while also offering 35% reduction in noise. Next up is the 85-200mm continuous zoom lens, which – as implied by its name – offers smoother transitions when switching between different zooming levels....
