goodbye

say goodbye to your right hand

Although Tesla already has her CEO with exclusive dedicationthe manufacturer still faces serious commercial problems After the company’s fall in the company in the US and, above all, for its disastrous figures in Europe. In the midst of this scenario, Elon Musk has been forced to make a drastic and painful decision: to fire one of its closest and most confidence collaborators. Tesla asked for blood and Afshar is the offering. According The published by ForbesElon Musk has fired OMEAD AFSHAR, Vice President of Manufacturing and Operations of Tesla in North America and Europe. This decision comes at a critical moment. The world sales of Tesla suffered a significant collapse during the first quarter of the year, as well as a serious reputational crisis that triggered Attacks against concessionaires of Tesla in the US and Europe. Afshar is one of Musk’s maximum confidence executives, so before starting his adventure Politics with Trumpthe Millionaire ascended him as Sales and Head of Operations. An extremely sensitive charge before the forecast of fall in sales that was going to cause The generational relief of your best selling car. Musk had put Afshar on the edge of the razor. When Musk needed something to be solved, he always called Apshar and he was in charge of solving him. He Wall Street Journal He described it as “the Musk problem solution.” Therefore, when the millionaire designated him for this position he could not imagine that, months later, he would have to say goodbye. He public rejection that generated the role of Musk at the head of Doge’s cuts, made sales fall much more than expected. Specifically, the brand has left 13% in total sales during the first quarter of the year. Sales are They sank 45% in Europewhile enrolling electric cars They grew up 15.3% year -on -year and its competition He sold more cars that never. OMEAD AFSHAR: Musk’s problem solving. OMEAD AFSHAR was one of Elon Musk’s maximum trusted men since his incorporation to Tesla in 2017. His role was key in the optimization of the chain of Model 3 assembly And, subsequently, he led the construction of Tesla gigafactoría in Austin, Texas. According to the Elon Musk biography Written by Walter Isaacson, Afshar was one of those responsible for the factory to be located in Austin and not elsewhere. In addition, he had a decisive role in the Robotaxis Design and in him Optimus developmentthe Tesla robot. Afshar also participated in the Musk landing on Twitterconsolidating as a fundamental piece in all the great movements of the company in recent years. An exodus of managers in Tesla. The case of Omead Afshar is not an isolated event within Tesla. In recent weeks, two other high positions of Musk’s maximum confidence have abandoned the company for different reasons. Milan Kovac, engineering director of the Optimus Humanoid Robot Program, He recently resigned claiming that he wanted to spend more time with his family, he said In his X profile. Musk He publicly thanked The time Kovac had dedicated to the company, but has not commented on AFShar’s departure. For its part, Jenna FerruDirector of Human Resources of Tesla for North America, also left Tesla and no longer appears in the company’s directory, As published Bloomberg. All these changes in Tesla’s directive dome reflect that the brand is in an intense process of Reorientation of your strategy. To publicly demonstrate these changes, Musk has had to sacrifice some very valuable pawns in their surroundings. In Xataka | We knew that the CEO of large companies were very well paid.

We prepare to say goodbye to Windows 10, but part of the US Air Control still works with disks and Windows 95

by

It is likely that in recent months you have seen some news about the End of Windows 10 support. And if you have a computer with that system, you are probably already valuing when to make the leap to Windows 11 or look for an alternative. The idea of ​​keeping an operating system No technical support It is usually interpreted as imprudence. And rightly: it implies losing security patches, compatibility with new applications and threat protection. However, not everyone seems so worried about staying updated. And the most unexpected example comes from such an important as delicate sector: air traffic control in the United States. There, part of the control towers still depend on technologies that seem taken out of another era. Literally, from the last century. The data confirmed this week Chris Rocheau, interim administrator of the FAA (the Federal Aviation Administration), in an appearance before the Assignments Committee of the House of Representatives. His intervention was clear: there are towers that still use paper and flopy strips To manage flight coordination. Technologies introduced in the seventies and that today remain operational in some airports in the country. The public chain NPR has added more firewood to fire: says that computers also work with Windows 95 (yes, Sweden trains They are not the only ones with this system). Although more modern than the floppy disks, it is a system whose extended support ended more than two decades ago. Microsoft stopped updating it December 31, 2001and today does not offer any kind of guarantee or security support for that environment. Obsolete technology, although functional Why are they still in use? Because they work. Because they have worked for decades. Air traffic control systems (known ATC) must be kept operational 24 hours a dayseven days a week, and that historical reliability has been precisely the reason why nobody has apparently wanted to take the risk of changing them completely. But that margin is running out. The new Secretary of Transportation, Sean DuffyHe pointed out that modernizing the system is now a national priority. In his words“It is the most important infrastructure project that the country has had in decades.” An affirmation that coincides with the growing concern within the sector: from controlling unions to industrial groups such as Modern Skies have begun to demand deep reforms. The Government’s Responsibility Office (GAO) published in March 2025 A report with forceful conclusions: of the 138 systems that make up the FAA infrastructure, 51 were classified as unsustainable and 54 as potentially unsustainable. Many of them have been in service for more than 30 years. Some, more than 60. The report warns that these platforms are not only vulnerable to technical failures: they are also increasingly difficult to maintain. There are no longer spare parts, the technicians specialized in these architectures are retiring and provisional solutions, such as virtualization, cannot always be applied in such critical environments. Given this scenario, the Department of Transportation has launched a call Open for private companies to present proposals with new generation technologies. Meanwhile, the system is still underway, but it does so on an increasingly fragile basis. Time will say if this time the leap to a modern infrastructure finally becomes a reality.

Goodbye to the windows for passengers, hello to the immersive screens

by

A fuselage that seems sculpted by the wind. Not a single cabin window. And a clear objective: revolutionize private aviation. He Phantom 3500 It is not a conventional plane And that shows from the first glance. Otto Aviation has been perfecting this design for years, first with the Celera 500L as a test bench, and now with a model that wants to go further. On paper, what it proposes is not less: a plane capable of radically overcoming other comparable executive jets. The technical key of the project is the Laminar flow. Otto proposes an approach based on perfectly profiled surfaces, designed so that the air moves better. This aerodynamic optimization seeks to reduce resistance and improve flight efficiency. According to the companyone of its great objectives is to reduce fuel consumption significantly comparable Jets. In combination with sustainable fuels (SAF), Otto aspires to achieve a much lower carbon footprint. No windows, but with digital views and very real ambitions The operational figures that OTTO handles point high. The Phantom 3500 aspires to an autonomy of up to 6,482 km, an 51,000 feet cruise altitude (15,544 m) and a sustained consumption of 435 liters per hour. This places it, on paper, below models such as Bombardier Challenger 350 or the CITATION Latitudewhose average values ​​of consumption are around 1,135 liters. Part of the advantage is in its large surface wing and optimized profile, which improves support and allows to operate from shorter clues than usual. Inside, it also uncheck. The cabin completely dispenses with passenger windows. Instead, Otto implements a system called “Super Natural Vision”, Based on high -definition screens that show the outer environment in real time. The objective is not only of stimulant. The civil sphere is not the only one in which Otto wants to leave a mark. In previous materials, the company has suggested military applications, especially in logistics or deployment missions from remote tracks. He has also collaborated with Darpa agency in several projects. In parallel to technical development, the company works with FAA to obtain the certification of the plane. Paul Touw, CEO of Otto Aviation, recently declared Flightglobal That the first flight could occur in 2027, although the entry into service is not expected before 2030. To expedite the processes and contain the costs, Otto is integrating simulation tools developed by Galorath, which allow estimating technical and economic impacts before moving on to production. However, as we point out above, the Phantom 3500 is not part of zero. Is the direct evolution of Celera 500L, a platform that served as a technological demonstrator. The design has been deeply reformulated, but the base principle remains intact: maximize efficiency without giving up real benefits. If you get your goals, Otto will not only put a new type of plane in the air. It could inaugurate a whole new category in executive aviation.

67 years ago Pope Pius XII starred in the most macabre goodbye of the Church. The reason: exploded in full funeral

by

Throughout his almost two decades as Pope, Pius XII had to deal with the complex scenario of World War II and The Holocaustwhich has made it A controversial figure. His critics accuse him of having silent before the Nazi extermination. His supporters see in him a strategist who maneuvered to save lives and prevent Hitler’s wrath from being on Christians and Jews. Curiously and After the death of Francisco Ithese days his name is playing for a very different reason: His caulitous funeralthat probably make the burial of Pius XII the most macabre and commented of the long history of the Vatican. After all There are few chronicles that they argue that during their funeral one of the worst things occurred that can happen in such circumstances: his body exploded for the past of the curia and the doctors. Literally. A goodbye with controversy Pius XII had a pontificate convulsive. And very much in spite of (and that of the church) their last days were fogged by the same feeling. Although his agony was not especially long (he felt bad October 6 of 1958 and died only a few days later, on Thursday 9) everything related to his health status became an obsession for the press. So much interested and such was the fight to publish in first the death of the Pope that some media decided to use a first level source: the doctor Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisiwho for decades had been a friend, confidant and personal doctor (Pontifical file) of Pius XII. “In those days the Vatican was extremely hermetic and it would not have occurred to him He remembered in 2005 The journalist Alexander Chancellor. When in 1968 he put himself at the head of the Reuters delegation in Italy, he himself met an old red phone in the office that, as his colleagues explained, had been installed there ten years before to be able to contact Galeazzi-Lisi. The problem is that the doctor turned out to be a source as influential as unreliable and lack of scruples. Over time Galeazzi-Lisi It would end up expelled of the Vatican for allegedly wanting to take advantage of his position at the Holy See while the Pope agonized. To be precise, They accused him to strain a camera in their room to photograph the dying and then sell the material. The reward was juicy. ABC remember that there were magazines and editorials that offered him $ 3,200 for the snapshots and another 20,000 for his story. It was not the only thing that the doctor was accused. From Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, it is also said that he promised to give a journalist’s death exclusively. The pact was allegedly that when Pius XII had gone to better life, the doctor would open a window of the papal residence. With what they did not tell, neither the doctor nor the press was that the heat of the Roman October took a nun to open that same window to ventilate the building, which led the reporter to misunderstand the signal. Other sources They assure that what Galeazzi-Lisi had committed was to stir a handkerchief and that the journalist confused him with a curtain moved by the wind. Whatever the right version, the truth is that on Wednesday, October 8, when the Pope was Agonizing but still aliveseveral media went out with a news as resounding as false: “Il Papà è Morto”. There were still several hours for Pius XII to die due to a “circulatory disorder.” The news was made public another better doctor, Antonio Gasbarrini. The most curious thing is that the main (and infamous) participation of Galeazzi-Lisi in the last goodbye of Pius XII began just then, after the death of the Pope. A frustrated embalming Although Francisco I simplified Papal funeral In order for the ceremony to look more like that of “a shepherd” than to “a powerful man of this world”, his funeral has made clear once again that the burial of a high pontiff is an unusual event. It is estimated that in just a few days about 250,000 people They passed before the coffin, in the Basilica of San Pedro del Vaticano, to say goodbye to him. In times of Pius XII something similar happened. The body used to stay Exposed for days so that the faithful could transmit their goodbye. And that, of course, required trying to remain preserved in the best possible conditions as much time as possible. The usual thing was that they retired part of the body of the body, but that idea did not seem like Pius XII too much, determined to be buried “As God created it”. In His memoirs Galeazzi-Lisi recounts how to these misgivings he decided to speak to the Pope of a new conservation technique that he had developed with a colleague of Naples, a simple, little invasive method of a mixture of herbs and essential oils. The technique was known as “Aromatic osmosis”it had been prepared by Galeazzi-Lisi with the help of a embalder called Oreste Nuzzi and one of its great advantages was that it barely required to manipulate (or eviscerate) the body of the deceased. It arrived with submerge it in the oil and aromatic herbs preparation and then wrapped it in layers. The doctor assured that the method was similar to that used by the Egyptians in their rites or the one that had been used with Jesus Christ. In his galeazzi-lisi memories even He recounts How he showed Pius XII a hand treated with his mixture. “He was amazed to see his appearance”. Did the Pope accepted that new technique to his body? It is not clear. What seems to be that Galeazzi-Lisi managed to achieve the approval of the Church. The works started on October 10 and priori followed the doctor’s guidelines: the body of the Holy Father was treated with the preparation of herbs and oils and then covered with a kind of cellophane to “conserve volatile aromas and ensure the best … Read more

Goodbye to the ruinous business in Latin America … and Diana on Digi and Vodafone

by

Marc Murtra, just ratified As executive president of Telefónica with a support of 90% of shareholders, they have a forceful message: the priority is “Europe, Europe and Europe”, and the consolidation within each country is essential. He already anticipated it In an inaugural speech of the MWC full of intention. The “intramerous” mergers are, in their opinion, the only effective way to generate real synergies, reduce costs and improve profitability in a sector that has languished for years. While Abandon Latin America After a ruinous business attempt there, Murtra focuses on operators such as Vodafone Spain and Digi, according to Expansionwith sufficient scale to impact. Why is it important. Murtra’s message to the European Commission, the CNMC and national governments is clear: mergers within each country are priority over any paneurpea consolidation, and regulators must allow them. This approach is a change with respect to the previous position of the EC, which has hindered similar mergers in the last decade. Orange and MasMóvilwithout going any further, he lasted a lot and filled with asterisks. However, recent letta and draghi reports on European strategic autonomy give intellectual coverage to this position. Murtra relies on the new geopolitical climate, where European technological sovereignty is at staketo claim conditions that allow European telecos to gain financial muscle and compete globally. The contrast. While in Europe it seeks to grow absorbing competitors, in Latin America Telefónica is in full withdrawal, after years of negative results that have undermined their financial position. Peru is already in creditors. Argentina has been sold for 1,190 million euros to the Clarín group (although Milei’s government tries to block the operation). Colombia is about to go to Millicom. And Mexico is the following in the list for divestment. Only Brazil remains as a strategic market, contributing about a third of the group’s profitability and being even more priority than Spain in terms of investment. What’s happening. The European consolidation strategy proposed by Murtra reflects a reality of the sector: Europe has 34 main operators for 450 million people, while the United States has only three for 335 million. This fragmentation is a lifeline. The European Telecommunications Sector has lost 41% of its capitalization since 2015while American and Asian giants advance technologically much faster. Telefónica’s stock market value fell 57% under the Álvarez-Pallete mandate despite reducing debt by half. The European 5G coverage (81%) is delayed with respect to the American and China (more than 95%). The average income per mobile customer in Europe is 15 euros compared to $ 42 in the United States. Fiber customer yield is 13 euros in Europe against $ 58 in the United States. Between the lines. Vodafone Spain and Digi arise as the logical objectives for consolidation in Spain. Only these operators have enough scale to generate multimillionaire synergies. Vodafone, with almost three million broadband customers, or Digi, who already exceeds two million fiber users, represent acquisitions with the necessary volume to move the needle in the Spanish market and contain the competition that is eroding its margins. Other assets such as Avatel, FI Network or Adamo would also be intent, but have too small dimensions for their purchase to have the impact that Telefónica seeks. Yes, but. Telefónica’s transformation goes beyond traditional consolidation. 43% of their business income in key markets already come from services that are not communications. The operator is close to the inflection point where most of your billing comes from technological servicesnot voice or data. The IT segment is growing “in double digit” while reducing the investment ratio on income from 12.9% to 12.5%. This metamorphosis reflects the search for a post-terocommunications identity, where Telefónica wants to be defined as a diversified technological company. Now the crystallize narrative is missing. And now what. Murtra has announced that he will present his strategic plan before he finishes 2025, with three priorities: focus on Europe, “iron financial discipline” and technological excellence. What remains to be seen is whether the European Commission, with The new Teresa Ribera Commissionerwill respond favorably to its requests with greater consolidation. And if Murtra will execute both Latin American divestments and European acquisitions with the rapidity it promises. If it works, it could mark the way for other European telecos trapped among American technological giants and Asian manufacturers. If it fails, the decline of the sector in Europe could become irreversible.

Huawei has just said goodbye to Android by Deepseek. And this strange folding is the first step

by

I had announcing the movement For a few months, and it has finally materialized on a phone. Huawei He just said goodbye to Android in his native countryand he has done it with a curious phone with an never seen aspect relationship. This is the first phone that lands on the market with Harmonyos Nextthe operating system completely developed by Huawei with its own kernel and without a trace of Android. In addition to premiere operating system, it is the first Huawei device to release Harmony Intelligence, its AI in collaboration with Deepseek. Goodbye to Android. The day came. Huawei has presented its first phone without a trace of Android, the Huawei pure x flip. To date, the company’s mobiles were marketed in China with Harmonyos. An operating system that, although the company wanted to completely disconnect from Android, was based on its nucleus. With Harmonyos Next things are different. This is an operating system developed from scratch, does not use Android code, is not compatible with its apps (at least, not if these are not modified) and uses its own core (HMS or Huawei Mobile Services) instead of the Google Application Service. This is the first 100% Harmony mobile. The first step for AI. Harmony Intelligence It is your alternative to Apple Intelligence and Samsung Galaxy AIpromising to go beyond an assistant for AI. This AI has trained both the Pangu model, developed by Huawei, and in Depseek, a model that is permeating quickly in Chinese mobiles. “We have trained our AI assistant for millions of hours with our large -scale language models and we have taken that intelligence to the device for the first time, so that it looks like a human and interact naturally, with conversations with different emotions and detecting the user’s mood.” As Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei promises, the focus is that the person-one interaction is as natural as possible, coming to promise that the assistant will be able to detect user’s emotions (it has not been detailed how). In a more landed plane, it will be able to eliminate photographs objects, generate and modify them, convert voice, and even describe the objects that the telephone camera sees, so that people with accessibility problems can “see” through the mobile. Another especially curious function is to be able to read books without touching the phone: we can pass pages only with our eyes. Huawei wants a 100% own ecosystem. The key here is not that a Huawei mobile releases its AI, is that Huawei is already prepared, in agreement with Deepseekto compete with the greats of the industry. Harmonyos Next is a platform oriented to all types of devices, from home to the connected car, and this first jump presenting Harmony Intelligence is key to the Chinese manufacturer. The company has advanced that its first platform for PC (Harmonyos Next brought to desk) will land in May, and it is expected that throughout the year we will start to see this operating system in virtually all new products that launch the market. The pure huawei. The lucky one who has released Harmonyos Next is the pure x, a folding phone in appearance ratio 16.10 when it is deployed. It is a telephone that, being folded, has a 3.5 -inch screen with 980 x 980 resolution, 2,500 peak shine nits, LTPO technology and appearance ratio 1.1: completely square. Upon opening, a curious 6.3 -inch panel is displayed with resolution 2,120 x 1,320, a completely different format than we are used to. The camera system is triple, with 50 MP for the main camera, 40 MP for ultra wide angle and 8 MP for 3.5X teleobjective. It has a 4.720MAH battery with a fast charging of 60W and will be sold in China at a price that starts from 7,499 yuan (just over $ 1,000) in its 12 + 256 GB version. At the moment, far from Europe. If the question is whether Huawei’s plan to completely end its Android dependence, the answer is no … for now. In Europe, the company is looking for alliances with developers after projects such as Aurora Store to facilitate the installation of Google services in its terminals (something that is easier than ever), and betting on EMUI based on ancient Android versions. The key to Harmonyos Next ends up being global is in the Chinese manufacturer alliance with the rest of the developers and technological. In China, Google apps or giants as a goal (Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook) have hardly any presence, in our territory they are an essential for a good part of the users. Currently, they can be installed in EMUI thanks to the microg Google Services framework. Without it, the matter is complicated.

say goodbye to employees if they do not marry and have children

by

October 2024. The New York Times Uncapa One of the latest initiatives sponsored by the China Government to lift its battered birth and that takes off once and for all: literally go door by door In search of women to intervene in crucial decisions about motherhood. Several months have passed since then and, far from lowering the tension, the proposals have climbed several levels. Unprecedented business policy. It also counted the Times this week. In an extreme attempt to reverse the fall in marriage and birth rates, the chemical company Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group issued a notice aimed at its single employees. The proposal: demand marrying and forming a family before September 30 or face the termination of your employment contract. That mandate, that quickly It went viral on social networkswas presented as a call to loyalty and social responsibility, aligning with government efforts to promote a more “friendly with fertility” in China. It is not the first time. The truth is that the chemical company was not the first to intervene in the personal life of its employees. Recently, the Pangdonglai supermarket chain prohibited its workers demand “wedding prices” (skills that men pay to the family of the future wife), arguing that They make marriage more expensive and discouraged the formation of families. In addition, he limited the number of guests at the weddings of his employees to five tables. Despite criticism in networks, The People’s Dailyofficial newspaper of the Communist Party, defended the measure as a step towards a Most accessible and civilized marriage. Be that as it may, before the negative reaction, Shandong Shuntian He withdrew the order that went viral and was forced to undergo a “rectification” by the local government, although the controversy highlighted the degree of interference that some private companies seem to be assuming in the demographic crisis. The background of the marriage crisis (and demographic). It We counted this week. The nation is so desperate to solve the birth rate that they are even considering reduce legal age To marry. In the background, a drastic decrease in their marriage and birth rates. In 2023, Only 6.1 million couples They married, 20% less than the previous year and the lowest figure since the Government began registering data in 1986. In addition, the population has decreased for three consecutive yearswhich has generated a growing concern about the impact on the economy and future work of the country. Other extreme strategies. As We count in October last year, the government had implemented various strategies to encourage birth, from subsidies to Elimination of the Single Son Policy. Some of the most striking actions included those Home visits to women to ask them about their pregnancy plans, but also all kinds of Official propaganda ensuring that pregnancy “makes the most intelligent women”, or even called to create a social environment conducive to fertility, including incentives in the workplace. However, these measures have been received with skepticismespecially Among the young Chinesewho cite economic reasons, lack of job stability and a desire for personal autonomy as the main reasons to avoid marriage and fatherhood. Companies as pressure tools. Had the New York Times Although the Chinese government has not issued direct orders as it did in the past with the policy of the only child, it has encouraged an indirect social pressure model. According to feminist activist Lu Pin, instead of imposing drastic measures, the Communist Party would be delegating the Pressure in private companiesusing social norms to influence citizens’ behavior. The intervention of companies such as Shandong Shuntian and Pangdonglai suggests that many companies consider acceptable to implement Rules aligned with the government agenda. Although officially the government does not force them to marry or have children, it allows and in some cases publicly supports business actions that foster these practices. Social control. In fact, an example of this approach was A filtered draft of the Quanzhou Health Commission, which proposed that government employees “take the initiative in the implementation of the policy of the three children.” Although the document did not specify how they should do it, the similarities with the Single Son Policy They have generated concern about possible more direct state pressure in the future. In short, the measures seem to reflect a change in the Government’s demographic control strategy, which has gone from imposing birth restrictions to the opposite: actively foster marriage and reproduction. In question, of course, the erosion of individual rights and the autonomy of the workers themselves. Image | Josh Vaughn In Xataka | China only allows you to get married from the age of 20.

Now there is a version says goodbye to paper money and replaces it with an app for mobile

by

Digital entertainment has never been so wide. Among series, movies, video games and music, the options are almost infinite. However, sometimes what we are looking for is just the opposite: disconnect, get away from screens and notifications. To do this, nothing like reading a good book or enjoying a board game. But not even these have escaped technology. Like electronic books have changed the way we read, board games have also evolved. It is not something new: for decades there are digital versions of classics such as chess or go. But now the trend has evolved. Some board games now combine physical pieces with mobile applications. A clear example of this is Monopoly. Monopoly is modernized with an app The new version of Monopoly premieres application. The game maintains its classic board, but now it will be necessary to use the mobile phone or the tablet to manage money and starting operations. That is, what we used to do with printed bills now is done directly from the screen. The properties and any transaction are also controlled from the app. From Hasbro, monopoly owners, explain that this format “assisted by application” not only speeds up the game by assuming the functions of the bank, but also incorporates mini -games to add an extra of fun. Each player selects a file and their corresponding bank card, which together with the property cards are scanned directly from the application. Monopoly App Banking is very oriented to children and offers among the most valuable properties a rocket launch platform, a chocolate factory or a roller coaster. This updated version will be available in the United States and During the year in Europe. It should be noted that the classic versions of the game and their expansions are still available. Modernizing a classic does not mean losing its essence. Here, the app promises to optimize the games of a game that sometimes can become long and dense, even providing new mechanics to refresh the experience and make it more accessible. However, this proposal will hardly attract those who see in the board games a shelter against the omnipresence of the screens.

When saying goodbye to continuity it makes sense to make a level leap

A week ago I could try the new OPPO RENE13 PROa mobile that the Chinese company has just presented officially in Europe next to the reindeer13, RENE13 F and RENE13 fs. Arrives with the difficult mission of overcoming RENE12 PROwhich left very good feelings last year because it was a fairly balanced proposal. This is not a complete analysis, but a first approach to some interesting aspects of the device. As a first advance, everything indicates that artificial design and intelligence (AI) will continue to be protagonists. Oppo keeps its focus on a modern aesthetic and in novel functions that seek to conquer the user.

While the OPPO Reno12Pro had a plastic finish, the new Oppo reno13 Pro stands out on its rear manufactured from a single piece of sculpted glass and a frame of “aerospace grade aluminum.” On the back I have found what the manufacturer has called “Butterfly Design.” These are butterfly wings that have a fairly subtle presence. I have been able to verify that engraving varies in intensity according to lighting conditions, creating a dynamic effect when moving the device. We are not facing a laser engraving deeply marked on the surface, and, after seeing it in action, it gives me the impression that this detail has the possibility of unnoticed day to day. Especially if we use a case or simply cover it with the hand when talking on the phone, although this occurs with any phone. In any case, the combination of these characteristics makes the phone transmit a more premium sensation. There are no visible unions and construction has seemed robust during use. In addition, Oppo has done a good job with the rear, which, except for the camera module, repels the traces quite remarkably. I must recognize that the new distribution of photographic sensors has pleased me. The lenses, organized in grid, impose a presence for their size. Now, the design of this section It is not lushso it maintains a balanced and functional aesthetic, without falling into excesses or artifice that breaks the harmony of the device. From the technical point of view, we find a 50 MP wide camera, with F/1.8 opening, 84 -degree field of vision, automatic approach (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS). He is accompanied by a 50 MP telephoto, also with AF and OIS, and an ultra wide angle of 8 MP, with a field of vision of 116 degrees, AF and OIS. On the front of the device we find a 6.83 -inch AMOLED screen, protected by the new glass CORNING GORILLA GLASS 7I. Bevels are noticeable, but thin enough as for unnoticed Once the device begins to be used, which adds another positive point to the experience. The sides of the device are worthy of a high -end mobile. They maintain the same location of the buttons as in the model released last year, but aluminum feels really good and integrates the antennas quite convincing. The chassis finish, as pointed out, suggests a balance between resistance and lightness. The mobile is equipped with a processor MEDATEK DIMENSITY 8350 With an 8 -core GPU. This is the successor of Dimensity 8300, which is committed to offering improvements in general performance, but focuses especially on games. We also find a battery jump, whose capacity is now 5,800 mAh. I have not been able to try the mobile in a pool (neither in a glass of water), but Oppo assures that it can immerse up to two meters For a maximum of 30 minutes, always in fresh water. That is, taking it on vacation to the beach is not a good idea. And why would we want to immerse it? To take some different photographs. The device has an underwater photography mode which allows you to capture both images and video. Since in this environment the touch screen is not an option, the volume buttons serve to take the captures and exchange between modes. In addition, they have told us that AI is responsible for optimizing the results. Artificial intelligence is again the protagonist Speaking of Aia, something that has caught my attention to Oppo’s commitment to this technology in a mobile that is not your flagship. The Reno1 Pro took that first step, democratizing this new technology in lower ranges, a trend that remains present in the reindeer. They are quite functional. We have AI Eraser 2.0, which allows us to eliminate unwanted objects from photos easily; Ai Liveppo, which records a video from 1.5 seconds and 1.5 seconds after pressing the shutter. The result is a 1080p clip. AI editor, meanwhile, allows us to improve quality, remove reflexes, correct the blur and more. Also Ai Studio, which … Read more
