In favor of a larger battery Vivo, like many other smartphone manufacturers from China, is actively participating in the charger power race to provide ultra-fast charging. But now, on the verge of introducing 200-watt technology into finished devices, Vivo has stopped. What’s more important, 200W charging or a 6000mAh battery? Vivo has made its choice Insider told Digital Chat Station about this. According to him, the project to create ultra-fast charging with a power of 200 W for a smartphone has been paused; instead, the company has relied on a solution with charging of lower power (120 or 100 W), but with […]

In favor of a larger battery Vivo, like many other smartphone manufacturers from China, is actively participating in the charger power race to provide ultra-fast charging. But now, on the verge of introducing 200-watt technology into finished devices, Vivo has stopped.

Vivo has made its choice Insider told Digital Chat Station about this. According to him, the project to create ultra-fast charging with a power of 200 W for a smartphone has been paused; instead, the company has relied on a solution with charging of lower power (120 or 100 W), but with a larger battery capacity - 6000 mAh. Obviously, when using 200-watt charging, such a large battery capacity could not be provided: most likely, it would not even be less than 5000 mAh. Some may be disappointed by this decision, but many will be delighted that Vivo's future flagships will feature a battery of such impressive capacity. Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately report the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12, as well as Xiaomi 13.

True, the smartphone turned out to be not cheap Following the Oppo Find N3, OnePlus' first foldable smartphone, the OnePlus Open, debuted. These devices are not just “brothers” - in fact, they are one model. Only Oppo Find N3 is intended mainly for Asian markets, and the OnePlus Open will be sold in Europe, where the version with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of flash memory costs 1,800 euros. In the UK the same configuration was priced at £1,600. [caption id="attachment_71974" align="aligncenter" width="565"] OnePlus[/caption] Orders for the purchase of OnePlus Open in Europe are accepted from today until October 26, with sales opening on October 27. Those who pre-order will receive OnePlus Buds 2 Pro headphones as a bonus, and students can count on a 10% discount. Those who buy OnePlus Open will be able to purchase the OnePlus Pad tablet with a 10% discount until November 30, and Buds Pro 2, Nord Buds 2, and Buds 2R headphones with a 30% discount. Considering that OnePlus is just making its debut in the folding smartphone segment with the Open model, it did so very brightly, because the smartphone received top-end screens that surpass in brightness absolutely everything that is in the segment, as well as an advanced Hasselblad camera. [caption id="attachment_71975" align="aligncenter" width="562"] OnePlus[/caption] AMOLED screens are made using LTPO 3.0 technology, they support a frame rate of 120 Hz, and maximum brightness reaches 2800 cd/sq.m. That's a lot. For comparison, the brightness of the internal screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is only 1750 cd/sq.m. OnePlus makes a powerful entry into the foldable smartphone market with OnePlus Open The diagonal and resolution of the external OnePlus Open screen is 6.31 inches and 2484 × 1116 pixels, the internal one is 7.82 inches and 2440 × 2268 pixels. The thickness of the OnePlus Open when unfolded is 5.8 mm, when folded it is 11.7 mm. The device is thin, but at the same time it is incredibly durable (at least according to OnePlus itself): the body is made of titanium alloy, which is 4 times stronger than surgical stainless steel, and the flexible screen is mounted on a carbon fiber frame. OnePlus says the internal display can withstand 1 million folding and unfolding cycles. [caption id="attachment_71977" align="aligncenter" width="752"] OnePlus[/caption] A special feature of the Hasselblad camera is the new 48-megapixel LYTIA-T808 sensor as part of the main module. Its diagonal is 1/1.43 inches, but due to the new technology for placing transistors, light sensitivity should increase noticeably: in terms of light capture capabilities, it is compared with inch sensors. The main module also uses a lens with an EGF of 24 mm and an aperture of F/1.7. [caption id="attachment_71979" align="aligncenter" width="780"] OnePlus[/caption] The second module also has a 48-megapixel sensor (but in 1/2-inch optical format), and an ultra-wide-angle lens with 14 mm EGF and autofocus. The third module is the periscope, it has a 64 MP sensor and a stabilized lens with 70 mm EGF and 3x optical zoom. There are two front cameras: a 32-megapixel one on the outer screen, and a 20-megapixel one on the inner screen. OnePlus Open is built on SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The battery capacity is 4805 mAh, the device supports 67 W charging.

Pixel 8 Pro will allegedly cost more than 1200 euros Google Pixel smartphones have always stood out from other flagships of famous brands at a lower price. The younger models of recent years (Pixel 6 and Pixel 7) started at just $600 while offering flagship specifications. However, in the new generation, Google may refuse such generosity.  [caption id="attachment_52070" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Google Pixels[/caption] End of cheap Google Pixels? The Tech Outlook resource claims that Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will be significantly more expensive than their predecessors at launch - that the younger model in Europe will cost 875 euros, and for the older one you will have to pay 1235 euros. For comparison: in the European region, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro launched with prices of 650 and 900 euros, respectively.  This is a very significant rise in price, which even Apple does not allow itself, so for now this information should be treated with a grain of salt. Moreover, nothing is attributed to Google’s new products that could explain such a strong price increase.

In India Motorola has introduced an inexpensive smartphone Moto G84, which at its price of $ 245 may well compete with numerous Chinese competitors. For example, for this money the buyer gets 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory! This is the only modification of the novelty, but according to this indicator, it is impressive. The Snapdragon 695 serves as the heart – far from the most powerful platform in this price category, but it still gives out about 400,000 points in AnTuTu 9.

The source also says that the Pixel 8 Pro model will receive Night Sight for video, which will allow you to shoot better video in low light. True, it is not clear why only the oldest of the new products will receive such a function, because the main cameras for both should be identical.

iRULU V1 ANDROID SMARTPHONE REVIEW VIDEO iRULU is a not so well known tech brand that produces smartphones and tablets. A few weeks ago in the interest of trying out and reviewing a new android smartphone I ran across this brand and purchased its iRULU V1 ( VICTORY 1 ) android smartphone. Here are the specs: OS : Android 4.4.2 Cameras : Back 7.99 MP,  Front 4.92 MP Ram : 1 Gig Storage : 8 Gig Display : 5.5 inch 540x960 pixels Chipset : MediaTek MT6582M With a price range $50 to around $80 its a low to medium range device. Nothing fancy or too special about it feature wise. The phone is a simple yet nice looking design Fits well in the hands despite being a large device. But its definitely a 2 hand device in my opinion. The video recording quality of the back 8MP camera seems to be slightly better than the previous phones I have reviewed, both for exterior and interior shots. Although the camera did freeze and drop frames twice during the interior video shoot. The photo quality for exterior shooting was just average and the interior photo quality had a purple tint !! The back and the battery are removable which nowadays is a BIG PLUS. I did two sets of battery tests. One harsh and one casual. For the harsh test i had the screen brightness up all the way and did a lot of hardcore gaming and video streaming. The battery lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes. For the casual battery test I brought green brightness down all the way and just did some Facebook, social media and web browsing. The battery lasted 8 hours and 59 minutes.  Both results very mediocre to average in m opinion. For gaming the first game I tried was NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED. Like most other smartphones I have reviewed this game just crashes immediately. Im not sure if its because of the 1 Gig ram or the MediaTek chipset. But GT RACING 2 runs beautiful. Stock Android 4.4.2 is the OS. Extremely outdated but it seems to be running well on the iRULU V1. The screen even though NOT HD, looks absolutely gorgeous and doesn’t show pixels. At only 8 Gigs of storage you can barely put any apps on it before it runs out of space.
