Qualcomm Snapdragon 735 Soc To Bring 5G To Mid Range Devices

According to a leaked Qualcomm specs sheet posted by GSMArena, the Snapdragon 735 will be based on the 7nm die lithography; the process node as Qualcomm’s high-end Snapdragon 855 SoC. However, the chipset’s CPU setup seems to be running on rather odd 1+1+6 setup, versus the typical 2+6 core setup that the other chipsets typically operate in. Speed-wise, we’re looking at a single 2.9GHz Kryo 4xx core, one 2.4GHz Kryo 4xx core, and six Kryo 4xx cores running at 1....

Quentin Tarantino Says His Star Trek Will Be Pulp Fiction In Space

However, about a month ago, Tarantino assured fans that his Star Trek film would absolutely be rated-R. Now, the legendary director has gone even further by saying that his film will be Pulp Fiction in space. In an interview with Deadline, Tarantino said: And if you’re wondering why Quentin Tarantino is throwing jabs at Simon Pegg it’s because Pegg (who plays Scotty in the current JJ Abrams iteration of Star Trek) previously mentioned: He doesn’t know anything about what’s going on and he keeps making all these comments as if he knows about stuff....

Realme Watch 3 Pro Launches With Amoled Screen Gps And Longer Battery Life

The fitness-oriented connected watch sports a 1.78-inch display, nominally smaller than the Watch 3, which uses an AMOLED screen instead of LCD and maintains the peak brightness of 500 nits. Design-wise, the new watch looks exactly the same as its lower-end counterpart, with curved edges and a single navigational button on the side, as well as a silicone strap. The standard model had a relatively short usage time of seven days despite getting a bigger battery but with the new Pro variant, it boasts an improved 10-day battery life under normal usage, even though the battery has been slightly reduced to 325mAh....

Revisiting Iron Man 3 Is The Mandarin Plot Twist Really That Bad

The Mandarin plot twist left a sour taste in my mouth, as it did a lot of fans. The trailer teased a terrorist maniac, someone who was going to be Iron Man’s greatest foe; Marvel’s response to Heath Ledger’s The Joker, perhaps? In reality, we got a buffoon named Trevor Slattery in one of the most annoying rug-pulls in the history of cinema. At the time, a portion of hardcore fans of Marvel comics stood outside Marvel Studios with flaming pitchforks and large signs that read “Die....

However, in an interview with Observer, Rian Johnson did provide some insight as to how he’s approaching these films. The critically acclaimed director mentioned that he’s trying to figure out what the “essence” of Star Wars means to him....

Roller Coaster Rides Can Trigger Apple S Crash Detection Feature

According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the feature had been triggered not just once, but on six separate occasions involving iPhone 14 users riding a roller coaster at the Kings Island theme park in Cincinnati. Given that their devices were tucked away in their pockets or bags during the ride, it is no wonder that the individuals were not aware of the Crash Detection’s confirmation prompt, let alone be capable of dismissing it....

Samsung Could Have An 600Mp Isocell Imaging Sensor In The Works

Samsung explains that its endeavour into making such an imaging sensor as a challenge “that motivates their innovation”. More specifically, it says that it’s trying to create a lens that matches the perceived resolution of our eyes. Technically speaking, Samsung says that our eyes are said to match a resolution of around 500MP. Meaning that many of today’s imaging sensors on both smartphones and digital cameras don’t quite match the level of quality our own eyes are able to perceive....
