Such models were popular about 20 years ago, but they were not smartphones The Japanese company P-UP World presented a rather interesting smartphone – Mode 1 Retro II. This model is made like a classic “clamshell” from the 2000s - there is even a button block, but only Mode 1 Retro II is a full-fledged smartphone, as it runs Android 13.

The battery capacity is 2500 mAh, and it is charged via the USB-C port. The price of the new product is quite reasonable - $200.

It is available to all beta program participants in China The internal beta version of the MIUI 14 interface based on Android 14 for smartphones in the Xiaomi 14 line was released on October 5. Now, the company has already released a public beta version - anyone who has signed up for the beta testing program can download it. True, so far only in China.

Their premiere is expected on October 27.

It improves energy efficiency The Tensor G3 single-chip system should be significantly more productive than the first and second-generation platforms, which differ little from each other. In addition, according to new data, Google's new SoC may be much more energy efficient. [caption id="attachment_55229" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Google Pixel smartphones[/caption] Insider Revegnus says that the Tensor G3 will be the first SoC that Samsung will produce using FO-WLP packaging technology. Thanks to this, the SoC will be more energy efficient and potentially cooler than previous generations of Google platforms. Google Pixel smartphones will no longer be hot and throttling. For potential buyers of the new Pixel, this is good news, since Tensor and Tensor G2, among other things, are characterized by quite noticeable heating and, as a result, throttling. As a reminder, Tensor G3 includes one Cortex-X3 core, four Cortex-A715 cores, four Cortex-A510 cores, and an Immortalis G715 GPU with 10 cores. Insider Revegnus was the first to publish a photo of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 before its release and also described the characteristics of the Exynos 2400, which were then confirmed in Geekbench software.
