But the speeds are far from record ones. Lexar has introduced the world's first NM memory card with a capacity of 512 GB. Let us remind you that these are memory cards for some Huawei smartphones. [caption id="attachment_64954" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei smartphones[/caption] Finally, NM cards with a capacity of 512 GB have appeared for Huawei smartphones. Huawei introduced this format back in 2018. It did not gain much popularity, however, despite the sanctions, Huawei did not abandon it. Until now, the maximum capacity for such cards was 256 GB, but now the maximum has been doubled. The new card supports the eMMC 5.1 protocol and is characterized by a read speed of 90 MB/s and a write speed of up to 85 MB/s, which is not particularly fast by modern standards. The price is still unknown, but the 256 GB version costs $50–80, so the new product will be significantly more expensive.

APK file appeared Earlier this month, Google introduced two new flagship smartphones - Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. They include a host of new features and software updates, most notably the Google Camera 9.1 camera app. Google Camera v9.1 APK file with a new user interface, different controls, new Ultra HDR+, and other features can already be downloaded online. The installation file is available to owners of previous generations of Google Pixel smartphones. The new app adds an option called “Rich Colors in Photos.” This option allows the Display P3 format to be used instead of sRGB, allowing devices to capture vibrant, wide-gamut JPEG color images, all without the need for 10-bit HDR. [caption id="attachment_64887" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro[/caption] The latest Google Camera 9.1 Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have already leaked online Plus, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are the first Android phones to take Ultra HDR photos. This is an innovative feature exclusive to Pixel devices. Ultra HDR+ helps photos look better by bringing out colors, highlights, and shadows. Images in this format are fully displayed on devices with an HDR display. But the Ultra HDR format is backward compatible with SDR, so those with older or simpler smartphones and computers will see a regular JPEG. Also in the Google Camera v9.1 application, a new design of quick settings is presented, which is called up by swiping up, as well as an updated menu of brightness controls, shadows, white balance, and other parameters.

The design will be familiar The Vivo X100 Pro+ smartphone appeared in the first renderings. As you can see, the device will be similar to the current generation, although we are not talking about a complete copy. [caption id="attachment_68042" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Vivo X100 Pro+[/caption] The camera block will increase even more and move towards the center. The characteristic cross stripe, which makes the design of the X90 Pro+ more original, will disappear. But the signature red color will remain. Vivo X100 Pro+ renders have appeared Let us remember that the X100 Pro+ model was previously credited with a periscope “telephoto” with 100x zoom based on a 200-megapixel sensor. There is nothing like this on the market yet, although, of course, it is not a fact that it will appear because for now, these are just rumors. However, recently Samsung itself officially invited companies to use its 200-megapixel sensors specifically for “television” cameras, so Vivo just might become the first.
