This is why makers are worried that MacBook Air M2 will suffer the same fate and so to avoid any such thing, you are suggested to purchase extra storage and RAM just to be on the safer side so that you won’t face any such issues.

Price and Configuration

Instagram is soon to ditch video posts to boost reels on the platform

OPPO Reno8 Series: Coming with a 6nm NPU MariSilicon X to deliver an end-to-end imaging solution

With the creation of its neural processing unit MariSilicon X, OPPO’s camera innovation has reached new heights. The company, which is well-known for its hardware and software innovations that improve camera performance, keeps pushing the limits of image processing. Three key areas of innovation have gone into the development of this evolution.

With the upcoming Reno 8 series, Oppo is targeting the market based on its improved camera specs. The Reno 8 series is already expected to succeed its predecessors with many enhanced features and specs, and this is just an addition to it. Here’s all that you can expect from the upcoming imaging technology:

PROPRIETARY ALGORITHMS

The first and very significant development includes generating accurate and appropriate Indian skin tones. Along with the skin tones, it even creates Bokeh Flare Portrait Videos. In order to apply various degrees of skin smoothening and beautifying, OPPO’s AI can also differentiate between skin imperfections. Additionally, it identifies beauty spots as well as the subject’s age and sex.

The first and very significant development includes generating accurate and appropriate Indian skin tones. Along with the skin tones, it even creates Bokeh Flare Portrait Videos.

Furthermore, the cameras from OPPO are capable of automatically choosing the best camera setting, including HDR for those ideal wide-exposure images. The images produced are primarily based on the shooting environment and illumination.

RGBW SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

After the software, now let’s talk about the hardware technology. On the hardware front, the company has collaborated with Sony to create their revolutionary RGBW (red, green, blue, and white) pixel array technology. It fondly replaces the older RGGB (red, green, green, and blue) sensors. When compared to conventional RGGB sensors, this patented technique, which comprises 87 technical patent filings, inserts W (transparent) pixels into each RGGB pixel to admit 60% more light and a 20.2 per cent increase in purity. In essence, that translates to better skin tones in pictures and more realistic low-light photos. With the IMX709 selfie sensor, OPPO and Sony has debuted this new RGBW technology, which continues to improve light management and colour tones in OPPO’s portrait photography.

MARISILICON X NPU

With the creation of the MariSilicon X Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which is intended for computational photography, OPPO’s innovation in smartphone camera technology has now reached new heights. With 3.6 billion transistors and 400 patent applications, this device was created over three years and is capable of up to 18 trillion operations per second (18 TOPS). MariSilicon X was developed by OPPO using the most advanced 6nm chip architecture, which offers astonishing 11.6 TOPS per watt for low power consumption even during the most demanding workloads.

With the creation of the MariSilicon X Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which is intended for computational photography, OPPO's innovation in smartphone camera technology has now reached new heights.

Some other pros associated with the technology also include its capabilities of real-time lossless AI processing in the Bayer RAW domain. It comes paired with image data from the 50MP IMX766 rear camera sensor. Furthermore, the MariSilicon X’s image processing also provides the user with many more advanced benefits. For instance, users may record nighttime films in 4K Ultra HDR quality with the assurance of crystal-clear frames. The brightest point may be up to 1 million times brighter than the darkest place in 4K Ultra Night Video thanks to the NPU’s support for HDR Fusion and AINR (AI Noise Reduction) algorithm operations.

OPPO has created a full suite of customised solutions for both the software and hardware integration in computational photography with MariSilicon X. It is the last component of OPPO’s unique imaging system, which was created to make use of the camera sensor’s strength. Additionally, to operate the imaging system’s patented algorithm even more effectively.

MariSilicon X NPU highlights

  • After improved algorithms and its collaborations with Sony on RGBW camera sensors, OPPO further solidifies its imaging innovations with its proprietary MariSilicon X NPU
  • Users can now shoot 4K Ultra Night Video and #TransformTheNight

Oppo’s upcoming Reno 8 series: A glance

The new OPPO Reno8 Pro smartphone will combine all these advancements in smartphone camera technology. By utilising cutting-edge technologies that address the challenges of nighttime shooting, OPPO has created the Reno8 Series cameras to assist photographers and videographers in their mission to #TransformTheNight. Each frame, whether it be a still image or a moving image, is clear and accurately coloured.

Oppo Reno 8 Pro expected specs

According to reports, the Oppo Reno 8 Pro, which might be released in India, would have the same characteristics as the recently released Reno 8 Pro+ in China. A MediaTek Dimensity 8100 or Dimensity 8100-Max SoC may power this Indian model. It could have a 6.7-inch full-HD+ OLED display (1,080×2,412) with a refresh rate of 120Hz and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It could include a 32-megapixel selfie camera in addition to a 50-megapixel triple-back camera arrangement. A Mariana MariSilicon X image chip may also be used in the smartphone for better photography and filming. A 4,500mAh battery with the capability for 80W rapid charging is reported to be included.

Samsung reveals Starbucks co-branded cases for Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Buds 2

Thinking of premium coffee, Starbucks comes out first. The brand has won millions of hearts with its unique coffee flavours and cute accessories. Now the enterprise is gearing up to make a strong appeal to smartphone fans. Starbucks has collaborated with the  Korean Tech Giant, Samsung, to bring out some cute co-branded cases for Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Buds 2.

The co-branded release is a special and limited edition protective case available to buy both online and offline. Just like the other popular Starbucks accessories, like the metallic straws, and the black sipper, these cases are also brand exclusive. The primary aim to bring such tactics out is to promote the devices and the brand. Additionally, you would have cute cases to dress up your Galaxy S22 and Buds 2. Here’s all that you should know about it!

SamsungxStarbucks cases from Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Buds 2

A significant thing to note about the availability of these cases is that the users can only buy these from the Starbucks App or from the Naver Store. Now coming to the design of the cases for Galaxy S22 Ultra, it is based on the “Silicone cover with Strap” design. While, on the other hand, the Galaxy S22 case features a massive logo, eliminating the strap design. Lastly, the cover for the S22+ features the most-dreamy tagline saying, “Count the stars in your Galaxy”.

Now coming to the cases for the Galaxy Buds 2, the brand has planned something different. Unlike the Galaxy S22 series, which has received different cases for all three models, Buds 2 has got two special cases. Coming to the first one is quite straightforward featuring the iconic and gorgeous green from the coffee brand Starbucks, along with its logo. Talking about the other one is quite eccentric in terms of the design. The second one transforms the Galaxy Buds 2 TWS earphones from the South Korean electronics giant into a cup of Starbucks coffee. This is quite a unique and creative idea that the brand has come up with.

SamsungxStarbucks cases from Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Buds 2

Additionally, the brand has not released different covers for its other TWS Earbuds like Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Pro. Both the cases are also compatible with the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Pro Earbuds as well. The primary reason for it is the similar charging case that all the three Earbuds features.

Interestingly, all of these cases have been made out of eco-friendly materials. Since these are brand-exclusive accessories, all the cases are available in limited quantities. Another important thing to note is that these cases are Korea-exclusive models and will be available there only. Currently, there’s no information on whether the cases will be available to buy in Idia or not.
