A cheap Motorola phone was introduced

Motorola Moto G72 was released with Helio G99 chip, 120 Hz OLED screen and 108 megapixel camera.
After releasing several official teasers, Motorola finally unveiled the new Moto G72 phone in India on Monday.

Although this new phone is in the mid-range series, it provides users with significant specifications in the field of camera and screen, so let’s take a look at the specifications of this phone as well as its price.

Specifications of Motorola Moto G72

The Moto G72 uses a 6.6-inch pOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 10-bit color depth, and 120 Hz refresh rate. The punch-hole display also supports HDR10, DCI-P3 color gamut and touch sampling rate up to 576Hz (depending on software). It is interesting to note that this high-end screen also has a fingerprint sensor under the screen.

The device is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset with LPDDR4x RAM and uMCP memory and boots Android 12 with Motorola’s My UX skin. The manufacturer also promises one Android update and three years of security updates.

The phone comes with a triple camera system consisting of a 108-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide unit, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The device also features a 16-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

This phone is IP52 certified and has a 5000mAh battery that supports 33W wired fast charging. The phone also comes with dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Connectivity options in Moto G72 include two SIM cards, 4G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GNSS, NFC and USB Type-C; And the last one is the same size as this phone, which has the dimensions of 160.5 x 74.4 x 7.9 mm and its weight is 166 grams.

Motorola Moto G72 price
The Motorola Moto G72 is priced at Rs 18,999 (about US$230) for the 6GB RAM configuration along with 128GB internal storage and can be ordered in Meteorite Gray or Polar Blue colors.

This smartphone will be available for purchase from the Flipkart online store from 12:00 PM on October 12 (October 20) local time.

The big problem in iPhone 14 camera made news

While many people were excited to buy this flagship phone after the unveiling of the iPhone 14, but the camera system problems blinded their taste.

It seems that many third-party applications have problems with the rear camera of the iPhone 14 Pro model. Users have reported problems such as shaking and shaking and making sounds while using applications such as Instagram, Tik Tok, and Snapchat. It seems that there are problems with autofocus and focus.

In addition to publishing iPhone 14 problem reports on Reddit and Twitter, some users have published videos of these problems. One of these problems is the mechanical sound from the iPhone 14 Pro when Snapchat is opened. Another video showed a similar problem with rear cameras when accessing TikTok.

An Apple spokesperson told Engadget that they are aware of the issue and will release a software update next week to resolve the issue.

According to the Engget website, considering that the mentioned problem is only seen in third-party applications, it is probably a software problem, not a hardware one. Especially, these applications may not work well with the optical image stabilization system of the iPhone 14 Pro, which is probably the reason for the shaking of the phone’s camera.

Two weeks ago, Apple unveiled four new iPhone models, including iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which are able to send help requests via satellite in emergency situations. Improvements made to the iPhone 14 camera include a new mode called Action for video, which helps stabilize shots.

 

The price of applications in the App Store became expensive

Starting next month, Apple will increase the price of apps and in-app purchases in the App Store in many countries.

Apple announced in a blog post that the new prices, which do not include automatic subscription renewals, will take effect on October 5.

In a message to designers, the company announced that customers who use Euros, as well as users in Sweden, Japan, South Korea, Chile, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Vietnam, will see price increases from October 5.

Apple said the changes in Vietnam also reflect new regulations for the company to collect taxes including value-added tax and corporate income tax at a rate of five percent.

The growth of the value of the dollar has probably been an influential factor. In Japan, prices rose by about 30 percent, a significant increase after the yen’s depreciation.

According to a Bloomberg report, Apple increased the price of its products including Mac, iPhone and iPad in early summer due to currency fluctuations. The euro has had the same fate as the yen and is now traded at the same rate as the US dollar and is likely to fall further.

The income of content creators on YouTube has increased

In competition with Tik Tok, YouTube introduced a new model for generating revenue for content producers from short videos.

YouTube will run ads on its Shorts video service, and video producers will receive 45 percent of the revenue from those ads. The standard distribution of advertising revenue for videos outside this service is 55%. On the other hand, Tik Tok has allocated 1 billion dollars in credit to pay content producers.

YouTube’s video service has been challenged to compete with TikTok, attracting more than 1.5 billion monthly viewers in late 2020 with the launch of its Shorts service, which includes one-minute videos.

YouTube created a $100 million fund in April to encourage content creators to make videos, and the ad revenue sharing plan, first reported by The New York Times, is a more attractive proposition than the fund, and somewhat similar to TikTok’s offer to Content producers are equal.

YouTube will share a smaller portion of sales with content creators on Shorts to compensate for their significant investment in the development of the service, said Tara Wolpert-Levy, vice president of YouTube.

According to a Reuters report, Google earned $14.2 billion from YouTube ad sales in the first half of this year, up 9 percent from the same period in 2021. But advertising sales in the third quarter had the slowest growth since the statistics began to be published in the last three years. Although global economic factors have been involved in this slow growth, Tik Tok also played a role.

Blood oxygen measurement with smartphone camera

Researchers at the University of Washington have stated in their recent study that smartphone cameras can track your blood oxygen levels.

According to Soraya, smartphone cameras will soon be able to help measure your blood oxygen level.

Washington University researchers have stated in their recent study, this technology includes placing a finger on the camera and flash; Artificial intelligence (AI) then decodes the blood oxygen levels from the patterns recorded in the video. This method can identify the early signs of a dangerous drop in oxygen levels among patients with Covid-19 and predict asthma attacks before they occur.

Our body needs 95% oxygen saturation. Respiratory diseases can reduce this amount to less than 90%, and that’s when a person needs breathing tubes or oxygen masks.

The results of this study show that when researchers used a chemical cocktail to reduce the amounts in young volunteers, the performance of this device was accurate 80% of the time.

“Other smartphone apps that do this are made by asking people to hold their breath,” said Paul G. Allen, a student at the University of Washington’s School of Computer Science and Engineering. But people aren’t very comfortable with the program, and are forced to take a breath after a minute or so, and that’s before their blood oxygen levels drop enough to show the full range of clinically relevant data. With our experiment, we can collect 15 minutes of data from each subject. Our data shows that smartphones can work well in the critical threshold range. Information can also be seamlessly transmitted to the doctor’s office.

When we breathe, our lungs are filled with oxygen. It is transported by red blood cells to other organs, which is a sign of fitness and heart health. Viruses and allergies interfere with oxygen absorption. The results of this study showed that smartphones can detect oxygen levels up to 70%, which is the lowest value for pulse oximeters. The researchers trained a computer neural network, or deep learning algorithm, to measure oxygen levels in six participants between the ages of 20 and 34.

The findings of this study, published in the journal NPJ Digital Medicine, are the first step towards the development of biomedical devices that work with machine learning to produce better results.
