‘The Qualcomm chipset offers very good performance for still image processing, but for video, it’s not good enough’: Honor explains why it created a dedicated imaging chipset for its gimbal-equipped Robot Phone

‘The Qualcomm chipset offers very good performance for still image processing, but for video, it’s not good enough’: Honor explains why it created a dedicated imaging chipset for its gimbal-equipped Robot Phone Writing about chipsets can be a bit like watching paint dry. These tiny mobile brains get more powerful every year, but 99% of smartphone users don’t get anywhere close to using their full potential. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, for instance, came out in 2023, but most people would be hard-pressed to notice a performance difference between that chipset and Qualcomm’s latest, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which powers most of today’s best Android phones . It’s a classic case of diminishing returns — semiconductor manufacturers can keep raising the chipset performance ceiling, but if phones can’t make use of all that extra power (and for several years, they haven’t been able to), the tangible g...

I compared the Insta360 X6 and X5 — these are the 5 upgrades that really make a difference for 360 footage Insta360 X6 Like the X5 was before it, the X6 is the best all-round 360 camera you can buy, offering excellent image quality day and night.

I spent two hours with the Honor Robot Phone, and this ridiculous, remarkable device made me feel like a kid again

I spent two hours with the Honor Robot Phone, and this ridiculous, remarkable device made me feel like a kid again First there was the phone. Then there was the iPhone. And now, according to Honor , there is the Robot Phone — a “revolutionary, category-creating device that shatters the physical boundaries of traditional mobile technology.” Now look, I love to call out marketing department hyperbole as much as the next journalist, but notwithstanding its description as the evolutionary successor to Apple’s greatest-ever product — sell 3 billion units, then we’ll have that conversation — the Chinese tech company is right to position the Robot Phone as something wholly different to what’s come before. No smartphone I’ve ever come across features a fully motorized, three-axis mechanical gimbal built directly into its chassis, nor such a comprehensive suite of professional-grade camera features, som...

The FCC could start banning DJI drones that have previously been approved, and DJI isn't happy about it

The FCC could start banning DJI drones that have previously been approved, and DJI isn't happy about it The FCC wants to take 'military-grade' DJI drones off sale Numerous DJI models would be affected You can comment on the proposals until September 2 There's been a ban on new DJI drones and cameras in the US since last December , but now the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is making moves to retroactively take some models off shelves that were approved before the ban came into effect. Specifically, the FCC wants to pull "military-grade" drones from stores (via PCMag ), which apparently includes every model with LiDAR obstacle avoidance or thermal cameras. That would affect drones such as the DJI Air 3S, the DJI Avata 360, the DJI Mini 5 Pro, and the DJI Mavic 3T, for example. Drones that weigh over 55 pounds (nearly 25 kilograms) will be included in the retro...
