Fossil Gen 5E offers Snapdragon 3100 and Wear OS smarts at a more affordable price
Following the official news, let’s talk about smart watches, but not necessarily what we think we would receive. I mean, Google invested in Fossil a while ago, and we were hoping to see some light on that, but all we have is Fossil to announce the new Gen 5E. It brings in much of the same hardware as the regular Gen 5, but it manages to bring the price down. It is powered by the new Snapdragon Wear 3100 SoC, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and a day’s battery life. It runs on Google’s Wear operating system and offers NFC. The variants bring a 1.19-inch AMOLED screen and come in 42mm and 44mm ion sizes. It has weird “pinned” GPS, which means it uses your phone’s GPS instead of its own sensor, so if you like to run this is not for you … hey, the WearOS algorithm for running is something I don’t recommend anyway. The thing is, it will start shipping the week of November 3 and will have a starting price of $ 249.
The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 could be getting closer to launch
This year is finally coming to an end when it comes to dates, but not when it comes to announcements. One of the things we usually get at the end of the year is the latest Qualcomm processor and this year will be no exception. The company has just sent press invitations for its 2020 Technology Summit, which will be held in digital format. The event will begin on December 1 and will end the next day. There’s no mention of what we’re getting yet, but we’re expecting the Snapdragon 875 SoC which will reportedly be built on a 5nm process. There are also some rumors of different lite variants for this SoC, to help lower the price of the upcoming flagships. The thing is, yeah, no trip to Maui this year … Because I guess we’ll have to make way for the alien landing at some point.
Will OnePlus 8T 5G feature a wide-angle selfie camera?
Now let’s talk about OnePlus, as you know things are gearing up for your announcement. We are less than 10 days away from the OnePlus Ultra event for Q8 and well, the company continues to give us snippets of what to expect. On this occasion, they tweeted “Strike a pose with the 8T’s ultra-wide camera” along with a 5-second preview. It somehow implies that this is the camera for selfies, but we doubt that it is so. We will get the same drilled hole design that we got on the Series 8, but not a secondary one. Let’s see what improvements they bring to the Ultra Wide standard. The 8T is designed to bring a 6.5-inch 120Hz display, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4500 mAh battery. The rumored price so far is $ 699, so we’ll keep you posted as the event takes place on October 14.
Under-display camera could skip the Samsung Galaxy S21, to get to the next Z Fold 3
Now let’s talk about Samsung and what the company has in store when it comes to innovation. The last we heard is not much if Samsung Mobile plans to work with companies other than Samsung for displays. Anyway, last year Samsung introduced different types of displays like the Infinity O, which is the one we currently have on their smartphones, but we know that their main goal is to place the camera under the screen to give you a truly bezel-less experience. . Well, according to a new report from Elec, Samsung was aiming to put this technology in the Z Fold 2, but that obviously didn’t happen. And they claim that due to the low production performance of the technology, they won’t be able to put it in the Galaxy S21, but we will still get it next year. The report claims that the technology would be ready by the second half of 2021 and that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be the first device to bring it. Samsung is currently working on a better solution for the under-screen camera that won’t compromise as much image quality as current solutions do. However, let’s hope the S21 brings Samsung panels.
IPad Air 4 Benchmark List Reveals 4GB RAM and Impressive Performance Gain
And finally, today’s hottest news has to do with Apple, the A14 Bionic, and more details on the new iPad Air. In the first report, we have the iPad Air going through some benchmarks and revealing specs. It will apparently bring 4GB of RAM, running on iOS 14 and the A14 that will power it will be a 6-core processor. On a second note, and staying on the iPad topic for a while, Apple’s VP of Marketing went to the iJustine and Jenna’s Same Brain podcast to talk about the new iPad. In it, he mentioned that the Touch ID sensor in the power button was an incredible feat of engineering which is, a bit of fun, considering how late they are in the power button trend. Still, there was more talk about the chip, which was then compared to some other benchmarks that emerged on it. He said that when compared to the A12Z, the 12Z is optimized for professional workflows and experiences that may be more graphics-intensive, but the A14 offers more comprehensive capabilities. If you look at the separate benchmarks, and to sum it up and not bore you with details: it is significantly faster than the A13 Bionic, and still does better than the A12Z in both single and multi-core. Surely not the 40% mentioned by Apple because it’s an A12 Bionic comparison, but it’s still a huge boost. The iPad Air will be available later this month with a starting price of $ 599.
