Nubia Technology, backed by the Chinese ZTE, has announced the start of accepting orders for the latest flagship smartphones Red Magic 8 Pro in the international market.

Open sales will begin on February 2, 2023, but in the meantime, a special offer has begun for early birds. The manufacturer offers to reserve a smartphone for 1 dollar (or euro for Europe) and get a discount of 30 dollars / euro (in the US and Europe, respectively). So pricing starts at $619/€ for the Matte version and $769/€ for the Void version.

Recall that the Matte version is equipped with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory, while the Void version is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of flash memory. Visually, they are also different – on the back of the Void there is a transparent insert through which the backlit fan can be seen.

The Red Magic 8 Pro features a 6.8-inch Full HD+ (2480 x 1116 pixels) OLED screen with a 120Hz frame rate, a 16MP sub-screen front camera, a triple main camera (50MP, 8MP and 2MP), SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, stereo speakers, Android 13 with Red Magic OS 6.0.

The Chinese brand Chuwi, known for its tablet computers, has a novelty – the HiPad X Pro tablet, which replaced the HiPad X. The device received a larger screen, four speakers instead of two, and improved cameras.

The IPS display is characterized by a diagonal of 10.5 inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The maximum brightness is 360 cd/sq.m. The software platform of the device is Android 12, the hardware platform is SoC Unisoc T616 with eight cores (two Cortex-A75 and six Cortex-A55). There is only one memory configuration – with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory.

The front camera is characterized by a resolution of 8 megapixels, the main camera uses a sensor with a resolution of 13 megapixels. HiPad X Pro received a metal case with a thickness of only 7 mm, the weight of the tablet is 500 grams. The battery capacity was 7000 mAh, the cost of Chuwi HiPad X Pro is $150.

Large monitor-TVs with a 48-inch OLED panel from well-known computer hardware manufacturers could not appear on sale for a long time after the announcement, but eventually they appeared, and now they can even be found much cheaper than the initial price. So, the American retailer Newegg immediately reduced the cost of the Aorus FO48U by $670. As a result, the price almost halved: from $1,500 to $830.

Although the device is advertised as being 48 inches, the OLED screen actually measures 47.53 inches diagonally. The frame rate is 120 Hz and the resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels. The monitor provides coverage of 98% of the DCI-P3 color space and 130% of the sRGB color space.

The Aorus FO48U is configured with a KVM switch, three speakers with a total power of 50W, one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 connectors, a USB-C port (for KVM) and a pair of USB 3.0 Type-A, an RJ-45 port.
