Vivo smartphone with 6 GB RAM

06.03.2016

Vivo, the Chinese subsidiary of BBK Electronics and maker of the world's thinnest smartphone, officially unveiled its new flagship smartphone Vivo Xplay 5 at an event in Beijing.

Specifications Vivo Xplay 5 appeared on the Web a day before the announcement. The device will be released in two versions. They differ in hardware.

Both modifications are equipped with a metal case, a 5,43-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, a 3600 mAh battery, 4G support, an 8 MP front camera and a 16 MP rear camera (Sony IMX298 sensor), as well as a sensor fingerprint and fast charging technology (charging via USB-C connector). Devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow with a proprietary FunTouch OS shell work.

The older modification, Vivo Xplay 5 Elite Edition, includes 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent memory, a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. It is equipped with two ESS ES9028 digital-to-analog converters and three TI OPA1612 audio amplifiers - one DAC and amplifier per channel and right) plus one common amplifier (the company called such a system "Hi-Fi 3.0"). It's also worth noting that the Elite Edition's screen is rounded left and right, like the Samsung Galaxy S6/S7 edge (Samsung has begun shipping these displays to other smartphone makers).

The lower version (without "Elite Edition" in the name) uses a flat display and a slower 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, and 4 GB of RAM. In addition, it has a simpler sound system (only two chips).

The cost of the older modification of Vivo Xplay 5 Elite Edition will be $654, the younger one - $564. Sales in China will begin in early March 2016. Two colors will be available to choose from: gold and rose gold.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

The fastest mobile Internet 27.01.2014

South Korean mobile operator SK Telecom announced its intention to modernize its LTE-Advanced network through Carrier Aggregation (CA) with a combination of three bands. Thanks to this, it is planned to achieve a record throughput for the mass market of 300 Mbps.

Last summer, SK Telecom launched the world's first commercial LTE-Advanced network, where data transmission can be carried out at speeds up to 150 Mbps. This is twice as fast as the LTE networks deployed in many countries, and ten times faster than 3G technology. The operator does not intend to stop there.

A press release on SK Telecom's website says that the company plans to launch a high-speed mobile network called 3band LTE-Advanced before the end of the year, where users will be able to transfer data at 300 Mbps. For this, frequency aggregation will be used - two 10 MHz channels and one 20 MHz.

Chipsets and devices capable of connecting to the 3band LTE-Advanced network are already in development. Their appearance on the market is expected by the end of this year, the operator claims.

On networks up to 300 Mbps, an 800 MB video is expected to download within 22 seconds. In conventional LTE networks, this takes about 85 seconds, in 3G networks - about 7 minutes 24 seconds.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, SK Telecom is planning to showcase its 3band LTE-Advanced service using three 20MHz bands and capable of transmitting data up to 450Mbps.
