We remember the important events of this week. In this release: the updated iPhone SE in the hull «eights»; the spike in sales of premium smartphones, the departure of the flagship Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 Pro and others.
Old new iPhone
Apple introduced the iPhone SE of the second generation – the most budget «iPhone» of the 2020. It was packed into the body from «eight»: 4,7-inch display Retina HD, button «Home» with Touch ID; protection from water IP67, wireless and fast charging according to the standard Qi. The A13 Bionic processor is the same as the current iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro processor.
The main camera in the iPhone SE is only one with a resolution of 12 Mpa and a lens with a diaphragm of f/1.8. It records 4K videos with a frequency of 60 frames per second; shoots in Smart HDR mode and in a portrait with a blurred background. On the link – date of the start of preorders, prices and other details.
More and more expensive
iPhone SE costs start from $399 and will be available for pre-order April 17 starting at 8 am ET/5 am PT. In «MTS» and «M.Video-Eldorado» calculated: in the first quarter of 2020 model premium-class bought twice more in comparison with the same period of last year. «Messenger» reported an increase in demand by 300%, and «Sitilink» counted an increase of 57%. Experts are confident that in the second quarter the purchase of flagships will still slow down – revenues due to the coronavirus pandemic have decreased.
Oneplus 8 Pro – almost no minus
The Oneplus range includes the flagship Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 Pro on the Snapdragon 865 and support for 5G. The younger model received a curved 6.5-inch display with a hole under the front camera and a built-in fingerprint scanner. The rear side of the smartphone is almost entirely inherited from the 7 Pro – the same design of the triple camera. By the way, the sensor in it, as in 7T, is Sony IMX586 by 48 Mpa, but the aperture of the lens has shrunk from f/1.6 to f/1.7.
The pro version got rid of the retractable frontalka in favor of the hole in the screen. Also has a 6.78-inch Quad HD+ screen with an update rate of 120 Hz and It’s protected against water by the IP68 standard. On the back is a small permutation: an additional fourth lens and a flare to the left. The main 48 Mpa module with the newest Sony IMX689 sensor, a 48 Mpa screen with the Sony IMX586 sensor, an 8 Mpa television with a three-fold hybrid zoom, and a 5-megapixel color filter.
Crytek masters Crysis remaster
Rumors that Crytek is preparing a remaster of Crysis have been circulating on the web for a long time. It is now clear to reissue to be! Officially. True, only the most attentive users were able to find the first confirmation of guesses. What was obscure was the Crytek site’s policy on cookies. There was both a logo and a poster of the game. And soon the site was upgraded: there was an animation where the light was beautifully reflected from the costume of the hero – a hint of beam tracing.
Intel’s official Youtube channel released a reissue teaser early, but quickly deleted it as if it had come to his senses. But the screens and the re-uploaded videos are notoriously not on and off the Internet without disappearing. Crysis Remastered has no release date yet, but it is already known that the game will appear not only on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, but also on Switch.
