144Hz OLED flat screen Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 50MP 4700mAh 67W for $435. Meizu 20 unveiled, similar to iPhone 14 Pro and Galaxy S23 at the same time
Together with the Meizu 20 Pro, a simpler model, the Meizu 20, debuted today. It is also built on the SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but cheaper: the basic version with 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory is priced at only $ 435. The cost of the top version (12/512 GB) is $555.
Outwardly, Meizu 20 is a collection of quotes. The main camera is designed in the spirit of the Samsung Galaxy S23, and the flat metal frame is like the iPhone 14. The screen with the front camera embedded in the center is like most models on the market. By the way, the yellow color is also related to the iPhone 14: literally immediately after the announcement of the yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, Meizu announced that its new flagship would also have this color.
The OLED screen is flat, it is characterized by a diagonal of 6.5 inches and Full HD + resolution, the maximum frame rate is 144 Hz. The fingerprint scanner is sub-screen, and the resolution of the front camera is 32 megapixels.
The main camera is represented by sensors 50 (Samsung GN5), 16 and 5 MP. The set can hardly be called flagship. But these are the components of the hardware platform: a bunch of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash memory – like in all the flagships of this year.
Meizu 20 received a 4700 mAh battery with support for 67 W fast charging. This model does not support wireless charging. The list of characteristics includes stereo speakers, WiFi-7, NFC and the Flyme 10 interface based on Android 13.

Introduced a very unusual keyboard in the style of classic typewriters for PC and smartphones

Fineday is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to launch a keyboard that can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0 to a Windows or Mac computer, as well as an iOS or Android tablet or smartphone. Mobile devices can be fixed like a sheet of paper right on the keyboard, which is made in the style of classic typewriters.
The keyboard can also be wired. If it works via Bluetooth, the device will need two AA batteries as a power source – nothing is said about the battery life.
Both the Fineday case and the surfaces of all its keys are made from 6063 anodized aircraft grade aluminum. The characters are engraved on the keys so they shouldn’t wear off as quickly as on a regular keyboard. Each key hides a Cherry MX Blue switch and is LED backlit.
Along with these keys, Fineday also has left and right knobs. The left knob adjusts the brightness of the backlight, while the right knob adjusts the volume of the paired device.
Early buyers can purchase the devices for $655 and end up with a price of $1,100.

In 2023 in all top smartphones. Arm introduced the Cortex-X4 supercore

Arm has unveiled the Cortex-X4 supercore, which will be used in the next generation of flagship single-chip systems.
Arm is talking about a 15% performance boost, which is a lot for a single generation. In addition, Cortex-X4 is the most efficient Arm super-core ever.
Interestingly, in the press release dedicated to Cortex-X4, most of the text concerns not quite the newest core. Arm also unveiled its most powerful CPU cluster ever. In this case, we mean the possibility of combining Cortex-X4 with the new Cortex-A720 and A520 cores.
The basis of the cluster is the new block DynamIQ DSU-120, which allows you to cluster 14 processor cores. Of course, this is not required for smartphones, but it is a good start for platforms aimed at PC. As an example, Arm gives a cluster of 10 Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720. The block also supports L3 cache up to 32 MB and new intelligent power saving modes.
Separately, Arm mentioned a cluster with a core formula of 1 + 5 + 2. It is this configuration that is attributed to the SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Honor today introduced the Honor 90 Pro smartphone, the main feature of which was the screen. It supports 3840Hz PWM and has been certified by TUV Rheinland to be flicker-free, which even people with very sensitive eyes will not notice. Yesterday we clearly showed that in this regard, it turned out to be Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro.
According to the international standard IEEE Std1789-2015, when the screen flicker frequency exceeds 3125Hz, stroboscopic flicker does not pose a danger to human eyes. The current PWM frequencies of 2160 Hz, 1920 Hz and 1440 Hz, which are widely used in flagships, are still noticeable.
The Honor 90 series screen has a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1, supports 1.07 billion colors and 10-bit color depth. The Honor 90 Pro uses a 6.78-inch screen.

On the front of the Honor 90 Pro is a 50MP portrait dual camera that supports 100° ultra wide-angle shooting. The minimum focusing distance can be as short as 2.5 cm.
The smartphone received a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 single-chip system, as well as a 5000 mAh battery that supports 90-watt charging.
Honor 90 received a 6.7-inch screen, Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, a 200-megapixel camera, the same battery and 66-watt charging.
