MediaTek unveils the 4G-only Helio G91 SoC

Without much fuss, MediaTek announced a new but somewhat familiar Helio G91 SoC designed for entry-level 4G smartphones. The G91 has mostly the same hardware as its Helio G88 and G85 siblings but offers an upgraded ISP. All three aforementioned chips share the same CPU configuration - 2x Crotex A75 clocked at 2.0 GHz joined by 6x Cortex-A55 ticking at 1.8 GHz.

The nubia Pad 3D II launches with an improved glasses-free 3D display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Avatar 3 is coming out next year – however, we are well past the 3D craze after the first one came out and these days very few people have 3D capable displays at home, much less glasses-free ones. Last year ZTE launched the nubia Pad 3D with a glasses-free 3D display. Now the company has come out with a second generation model with major improvements. The nubia Pad 3D II is marketed as the “world’s first 5G+AI eyewear free 3D tablet”. It’s quite a mouthful, but it’s correct. The previous model had a Snapdragon 888 chipset and no cell connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy Ring first impressions

Samsung unveiled its first foray into the smart ring category with the Galaxy Ring earlier today and since we’re attending MWC, we got to see the health tracker in person. It comes in three official colors - Ceramic Black, Platinum Silver, and Gold. The ring features an interesting design choice – it’s concave so the sides taper into the middle, kind of like a miniature car rim. It’s also really shiny regardless of which color you pick up, and seems like it will attract plenty of smudges.

Weekly poll results: AI is not widely used yet, but it has a wide variety uses

For most people, AI is just not a tool they use daily – in last week’s poll the majority has not used AI besides maybe a few quick experiments to see what all the buzz is about. However, a third of voters do find occasional use for it and some 15% even use AI daily. What do they use it for? Surprisingly, gaming was by far the least common answer, despite being the first of the current branch of AI to be deployed at scale – Nvidia launched the GeForce 20 series in 2019 with DLSS and has kept improving it ever since.
