iPhone 15 Ultra could become a lightweight and very expensive smartphone due to the titanium case
As it became known, Apple has already received five patents for its new devices with titanium cases. In particular, the patents for “titanium nitride surface with natural titanium color”, “textured surface for titanium parts”, “titanium parts with sandblasted surface texture” are mentioned. The images in the patents show a smartphone, a watch, a laptop and a tablet.
According to Mydrivers, Apple’s next flagship smartphone, which will be released as the iPhone 15 Ultra in September next year, will be the first in the line to receive a titanium case.
The biggest advantage of titanium alloy is the combination of lightness and strength. Smartphones iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max are criticized for their huge mass by the standards of mobile devices. But titanium alloys have a huge disadvantage when used in consumer products – they are too expensive.
It is reported that the price of titanium alloy in metal is second only to silver, which will lead to an extremely high cost of such a smartphone.
The source adds that the price of the iPhone 15 Ultra in China could exceed $2,000.

A truly unique smartphone design. Nubia Z60 Ultra turned out to be extremely unusual

The Nubia brand cannot boast of a large assortment of smartphones or good sales, but what cannot be taken away from Nubia devices is the design. Recently, everyone was surprised by the gaming Red Magic 9 Pro with cameras without any protrusion and a flat, minimalistic design, but now images of the flagship Z60 Ultra have appeared on the Internet, which does not look like Red Magic, but at the same time looks no less unusual, if not more.
As you can see, the device does not have any separate block of cameras, while three cameras are placed in an unusual way and each is designed in its own way.
Thanks to this design, the Z60 Ultra does not look like any other smartphone at all, and not even close. Plus, it has the most angular shapes and a screen without any cutouts, since the front camera is sub-screen.
The new Nubia should receive SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh and cameras with a resolution of 50, 50 and 64 megapixels, including a periscope module.

Three cheap smartphones and all without AMOLED. Infinix Hot 40 lineup unveiled

In addition to the ultra-cheap Smart 8 HD smartphone, Infinix also presented a whole line of budget models: Hot 40.
It includes the junior model Hot 40i, basic Hot 40 and Hot 40 Pro. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but the company says they’ll all cost less than $200.
Hot 40 Pro, as expected, looks the most interesting. There is a camera with a resolution of 108 megapixels, a 120 Hz screen, and 8/128 or 8/256 GB of memory. The device is also equipped with a 5000 mAh battery with 33-watt charging, Helio G99 SoC and a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display.
The Hot 40 is similar to the older model, but it has a screen with a frame rate of 90 Hz, is based on the Helio G88 and a 50 MP camera. The remaining parameters are identical.
The younger model Hot 40i is more different. The heart here is the less productive SoC Unisoc T606, the basic amount of RAM is 4 GB, although there is also a version with 8 GB, the screen here has HD+ resolution with a diagonal of 6.56 inches and supports a frame rate of 90 Hz, and charging power is limited to 18 W. Other parameters are the same as Hot 40.
It is also worth noting that all models received IPS screens.

This ultra-cheap $75 smartphone offers a “premium” design and a 90Hz screen. Infinix Smart 8 HD unveiled

Infinix has announced the Smart 8 HD smartphone with a price of just $75. At the same time, the device is equipped much better than many smartphones priced at $100-120.
But it’s worth starting not even with this, but with design. As you can see, Infinix does not betray itself and even made an ultra-budget smartphone so that it stands out: the back cover seems to have a relief pattern. The company itself even uses the expression “premium design,” but this, of course, is on its conscience.
From a technical point of view, the device is not bad, and for such a price it is very good. It is based on the Unisoc T606 SoC, which scores about 240,000 points in AnTuTu 10. There is 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash memory, a 13-megapixel main camera and a 5000 mAh battery. And the 6.6-inch screen with HD+ resolution also supports a frame rate of 90 Hz. In addition, there is an element that imitates the Dynamic Island of the iPhone.
It remains to add that the dimensions here are 164 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm with a weight of 184 g.
