New Sony Alpha 7V, features, price and technical sheet

by

Taking photos with your cell phone is fine. It’s very good, in fact. Today we can find devices capable of achieving spectacular results, from the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra until the iPhone 17 Propassing through OPPO Find X9 Pro with its curious teleconverter kit designed to further squeeze its capabilities. But, despite the fact that the mobile phone reigns in everyday life, the world of cameras is still far from having thrown in the towel. Firms like Sony continue to promote the sector with increasingly powerful, more versatile equipment and with a growing integration of artificial intelligence. The latest proof of this has its own name: Sony Alpha 7V. This new full-frame mirrorless reaches its fifth generation with a solid track record behind it and a well-earned reputation among advanced hobbyists and professionals. It is just that type of camera that many have chosen—and would continue to choose—when they are looking for performance that borders on professional, versatility that gives room for growth, and a price that does not go into the territory of the more specialized or iconic models of the Japanese brand.

The Alpha 7V takes over from the Alpha 7 IVthat camera presented in 2021 that for years served as a reference in Sony’s upper mid-range. This new model is clearly positioned as “entry-level professional”, one step below the Alpha A7R V, A1 II and A9 IIIbut inheriting a good part of its key technologies. At this intermediate point in the catalogue, it competes directly with proposals from the same segment such as Nikon Z6 III and the Canon EOS R6 Mark III. New sensor, new brain. Sony uses here a partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS of about 33 MP, accompanied by the BIONZ XR2 processor with a dedicated AI unit, an architecture that the company debuted in 2022 with the Alpha 7R V as the first Alpha camera with a specific processor for AI-based recognition. This set allows for a more accurate interpretation of the scene and improves the speed with which the camera processes each frame. In practice, it represents a clear leap over the Alpha 7 IV, especially in situations where response and recognition make the difference. Click to see sample images on the Sony page Click to see sample images on the Sony page Real-time recognition taken further. The manufacturer claims that the Alpha 7V improves real-time eye recognition AF performance by up to 30% compared to the Alpha 7 IV, according to its own internal measurements. Its 759 phase detection points and 94% frame coverage allow you to maintain focus even with irregular movements or low light situations, with a performance that drops to EV -4.0. All of this contributes to more stable monitoring and better focus decisions. The Alpha 7V also advances image quality thanks to a dynamic range of up to 16 stops when using the mechanical shutter, designed to preserve detail in both bright lights and deep shadows. The new AI-based automatic white balance analyzes the scene and estimates the light source more accurately, delivering more coherent and natural colors. Added to this is the high-resolution RAW processing available in Imaging Edge Desktop, an option that expands flexibility in post-production without compromising sharpness or captured information. Designed not to miss the moment. Thanks to a sensor readout that is approximately 4.5 times faster than the Alpha 7 IV and 60 AF/AE calculations per second, the Alpha 7V can handle highly dynamic scenes with greater stability. The burst reaches 30 fps through the electronic shutter with AF/AE tracking, avoiding interruptions even in irregular movements. In addition, the Pre-Capture function records up to 1 second before shooting, a useful support in unpredictable situations such as wildlife or sports. 4K for hybrid creators. Sony adds more flexibility in video with the arrival of 4K 60p upsampled from 7K in full format and 4K 120p in APS-C/Super 35. Pixel binning-free readout improves the level of detail and dynamic active mode reinforces stability when recording without support. The camera maintains subject framing using AI and adjusts audio with noise reduction and an internal microphone designed to limit constant background sounds and preserve a natural tone. A continuous body, a more polished use. The Alpha 7V maintains the design of the previous generation, with a practically identical chassis to the Alpha 7 IV and the same combination slot configuration, SD UHS-II and CFexpress Type A/SD. The improvements focus on the user experience: 4-axis multi-angle screen, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, dual USB-C and a revised handle to gain stability and comfort. The … Read more

POCO is back. The Xiaomi sub-brand returns to update its high-end, which this year features the flagship, the POCO F8 Ultra and the POCO F8 Pro, which is the terminal that concerns us in this article. It is not the most cutting-edge of the brand’s new line, but it is still a very complete mobile phone and a very interesting option for those looking for power at a good price. Let’s see what it offers us. POCO F8 Pro technical sheet LITTLE F8 PRO DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 157.49 x 75.25 x 8mm 199g SCREEN LITTLE HyperRGB AMOLED 6.59 inches, 2,510 x 1,156 px 120Hz Brightness up to 2,000 nits PROCESSOR Snapdragon 8 Elite RAM MEMORY 12GB LPDDR5X STORAGE 256/512GB UFS 4.1 REAR CAMERAS Main: 50MP, Light Fusion 800 1/1.55-inch sensor, f/1.88 aperture, OIS Telephoto: 50MP, f/2.2 aperture, 60mm equivalent Ultra wide: 8MP, f/2.2 FRONT CAMERA 20MP battery 6,210 mAh 100W fast charge Reverse charging up to 22.5W operating system HyperOS 3.0, based on Android 16 connectivity Dual SIM, 5G SA, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 7, NFC others Corning Gorilla Glass 7i IP68 water and dust resistance Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor Dual speakers with Hi-Res audio, Dolby Atmos, Sound by Bose price From 419.99 euros with offer Sober design and a huge module We start with appearance. POCO has opted for a design that is in line with what we are seeing lately: a flat design, with a metal frame with straight edges and a camera module that occupies the entire width of the mobile (although the cameras only occupy more or less half of the module). The back is covered in glass with a matte finish and comes in three colors: black, blue and titanium silver.

“The Cayenne Electric marks the beginning of a new era for Porsche.” This is how it starts release that the German company has shared to detail the characteristics of its new SUV. And although it is a speech that sounds familiar to us from any presentation of any type of product, in this case it could not make more sense. On Halloween, Porsche presented its resultsand the figures were not good: losses of 967 million euros when, in 2024, they had had profits of 4,000 million. What has happened in these twelve months is that China has revolutionized the car scene with their electric. The Taycan has not been enoughwe had to react, and the answer is this Porsche Cayenne Electric. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? And it combines three elements that work: it is an SUV, it is electric and it is Porsche’s best-selling model. The new 100% electric Cayenne It has rained a lot since Porsche will launch the Cayenne in September 2002. It became the dream of many as it was one of the cars that James Bond could drive in the video game ‘all or nothing‘, and also the one preferred by the masses. The SUV has maintained its visual identity throughout the generations, and the electric one does not change too much a formula that has been proven to work. It is a little bigger: 55 millimetersto be exact. It measures 4,985 mm long, 1,980 mm wide and 1,674 mm high. The difference between the previous model and the electric one is greatest in the wheelbase, which is now 3,023 mm (13 millimeters longer than the previous one). And the trunk has a capacity of 90 liters for the front and between 781 and 1,588 liters in the main one, depending on how we configure the seats. If some sensations of the brand’s sportiness were already transmitted in the fuel models, in the new Cayenne Electric Porsche points directly to the Formula E. Before we get into that, it will arrive in two versions. On the one hand, the Cayenne Electric as access to the range: All-wheel drive. 408 HP (300 MW) in normal mode. 442 HP (325 MW) in Launch Control mode. Acceleration 0-100 in 4.8 seconds and maximum of 230 km/h. On the other hand, the Cayenne Electric Turbo: All-wheel drive. Up to 1,156 HP (850 MW) with Launch Control and 1,500 Nm of torque. In normal mode, 857 HP (630 MW) with ‘Push-to-Pass’ function that activates another 176 HP for 10 seconds. Acceleration from 0-100 in 2.5 seconds, from 0-200 in 7.4 seconds and maximum of 260 km/h. In addition to the power that each one delivers, there are important differences in both cooling and regeneration. The Turbo model, to withstand that power, has a direct oil cooling system for the rear axle motor. The goal is to ensure continuous high power. The ‘normal’ Electric model wants to be more efficient, and for that it has an energy regeneration system that returns charge to the battery with a power of up to 600 MW during braking. They claim that, in daily driving, around 97% of braking operations can be managed solely by electric motors. To get that one-pedal drive, wow. Both have adaptive air suspension as standard, but then there is the universe of extras. Both can be equipped with rear axle steering, something that turns the rear wheels 5º. Screens to power Inside, as it could not be otherwise, LEDs and screens reign. Even Mazda has given up on this and Porsche has ambient LEDs, a panoramic roof with variable light control and the aforementioned screens. On the front we have what they called Flow Display: a curved OLED panel integrated into the center console. It is complemented by a 14.25-inch fully digital instrument panel and a larger 14.9-inch instrument panel for the passenger. On the moon we have a head-up display that projects an effective 87-inch screen, showing information about what we have up to ten meters in front of the vehicle. Now, they have made an effort to comment that the most used controls, such as the climate control and the sound system volume controls, are physical. These screens are customizable using widgets, and we can also control some options using voice commands. They ensure that the software has a system of AI that “understands complex and interrelated queries, recognizes context and responds like a real interlocutor.” Arrives with ‘MagSafe’ Let’s go with the battery. This is a newly developed 113 kWh battery that allows a combined WLTP range of up to 642 km for the Cayenne Electric and up to 623 km for the Turbo model. For charging, it incorporates 800 volt technology with direct current charging capacity of up to 400 kW. According to the company, in these ideal conditions, it allows you to go from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes. In 10 minutes, you should have a range of 325 kilometers in the Cayenne and 315 km in the Cayenne Turbo. Now, the most peculiar thing is its inductive charge. It’s another extra, and one they focused on during the presentation at the IAA in Munich in early September. It is a platform on which we align the car so that it begins to charge with a power of up to 11 kW. You simply have to attach the plate to the ground and, when we park on it, the process begins. Price and launch of the Porsche Cayenne Electric Once the presentations are made, it’s time to look at the portfolio. The company has commented that orders are now accepted for the new model, which will arrive in the two aforementioned versions at the following price: Cayenne Electric: 108,296 euros. Cayenne Turbo Electric: 169,124 euros. And if you don’t want an electric one, Pôrsche assures that they will continue developing the Cayenne with hybrid and combustion propulsion systems “well into the next decade.” Of course, without additional details. … Read more

New Steam Machine, features, price and technical sheet

If you were thinking about buying a home console and were hesitating between PlayStation 5 or one Xbox Series X|Sa new player has just entered the game. Valve has presented the Steam Machinea proposal that aims high and comes with enough arguments to shake up the market. The company led by Gabe Newell has also announced a new virtual reality headset, the Steam Frameand an updated version of the Steam Controller. All of this reinforces the feeling that Valve wants to once again bet heavily on hardware and regain the prominence it had with the Steam Deck. Stam Machine technical sheet Stam Machine CPU AMD Zen 4 6 cores 12 threads Up to 4.8 GHz TDP: 30W GPU AMD RDNA3, 28 graphics cores Up to 2.45 GHz sustained TDP: 110W Support for 4K, 60 FPS gaming with FSR Ray tracing RAM memory 16GB DDR5 VRAM memory 8GB GDDR6 Storage 512GB (SSD) 2TB (SSD) Expandable via microSD Connectivity Ethernet 1Gbps WiFi 6E (2×2) USB-C 10Gbps (3.2 Gen 2) 4× USB-A ports (2× USB 3 front, 2× USB 2 rear) Operating system Steam OS Others Compatibility with third-party controllers Decorative LED light Price Unannounced Steam Machine: Valve’s great re-entry into the field of consoles Although Valve has not yet revealed the price and has only announced that its launch will take place “early 2026”, yes he has shared a good part of the specifications. The Steam Machine will come in two versions: one with 512 GB of storage and another with 2 TB, both expandable using cards microSD. It can be purchased separately or in a package with the new Steam Controller. This controller has a curious design, with the joysticks in an unusual position that invites you to try it to check its ergonomics. In any case, compatibility with other controllers – such as those for Xbox or PlayStation – is guaranteed. Inside, the console mounts a AMD Zen 4 processor with six cores and twelve threads, capable of reaching 4.8 GHz and with a TDP of 30 W. The graphics part is provided by an AMD RDNA3 GPU with 28 computing units, maximum sustained frequency of 2.45 GHz and a TDP of 110 W. On paper, the promise is clear: games in 4K and 60 FPS with FSR technology. Valve claims that the Steam Machine is “six times more powerful than the Steam Deck.” An ambitious statement, but one that makes sense if we think about the limits that the portable console already shows in some recent titles. This new machine seeks to offer a more fluid, more stable gaming experience and, above all, closer to that of a traditional desktop console. If we talk about memory, it will have 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. For now there is no data on bandwidth, but there is data on connectivity: one port HDMI 2.0one USB-C and four USB-A (two front and two rear). The operating system chosen is SteamOS, as expected. Valve has maintained its active development since the times of the first Steam Machines, that project that didn’t take offbut which served as the basis for the subsequent success of the Steam Deck. Users will be able to access thousands of games from the SteamOS catalog (a new compatibility badge will be enabled) and even to cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming. However, some titles will remain absent, such as ‘GTA 6’, which will not be available at launch and whose future arrival is still uncertain. In any case, the Steam Machine is, in essence, a PC. So we can, for example, install another operating system like Windows to expand its possibilities. For now, there is only wait for Valve to confirm prices and specific dates launch to see if the Steam Machine manages to make its way among giants like Sony and Microsoft.

“We had to make a car under 20,000 euros in less than two years. We went into command mode” With these words Paula Fabregat, Director of Design Projects at Renault for segments A and B, summarizes the madness that has been the launch of the Renault Twingo. It is the last major assignment for Luca de Meo, who was CEO of Renault until last July when he unexpectedly left to make the leap into the luxury market with the Kering group. Since its arrival, the brand has experienced a true revolution, focusing on relaunches of the company’s legendary models reinterpreted as electric cars within the famous plan. Renaulution. The underlying idea in this Twingo looks very similar to the launches we have already seen: urban car like the Renault 5 and the Renault 4created with great care to stay attached to the past and, at the same time, propose an alternative that conquers by design to convince the undecided. The point is that the underlying idea was the same, the way of executing it has been very different. And, despite everything, the result at first glance (before getting into the car) is up to par. Technical data sheet of the Renault Twingo Renault Twingo BODY TYPE. Five-seater B-SUV MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHT. 3.79 meters long, 1.72 meters wide, 1.49 meters high and 2.43 meters wheelbase. From 1,200 kg weight (no further details are specified) TRUNK. 360 liters MAXIMUM POWER. 60 kW (82 hp) WLTP CONSUMPTION. To be confirmed. ENVIRONMENTAL DISTINCTIVE. Zero emissions DRIVING AIDS (ADAS). The minimum requirements required by the European Union confirmed. Front and rear emergency braking and lane keeping. Up to 24 ADAS driving aids as an option. OTHERS. Open R Link built on Android Automotive, compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Seven-inch screen for the instrument panel and 10-inch screen for the center. ELECTRIC HYBRID. No. Plug-in HYBRID. No. electric Yes. 60 kW (82 HP) versions with 27.5 kWh battery. Only available with 6.3 kW charging as standard Charging of 11 kW in AC and 50 kW in direct current as an option. price and release Price to be confirmed. Start of marketing: early 2026. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? Same spirit in modern times We enter a ship. A pristine Renault Twingo awaits us. With all its nineties aroma. With that jovial spirit and good roller that comes from its colorful upholstery, its simple shapes and its dashboards “with three things counted”. That urban man with the soul of a minivan that seemed to shout to the world that it doesn’t matter what you throw at it, that it is there for you to do with whatever you want. Their seats became beds. Today that Renault Twingo has to play something else. It’s still that purely urban car but it has to be content, no matter what, with being purely urban. Because the Renault Twingo is now an electric car with a 27.8 kWh battery capacity. It is a matter of pure regulations. Europe has decided that we must jump to the electric car. Segment A cars with combustion engines, crowded as they have to be with driving aid systems, They are very complicated to amortize. And they make things more difficult for the rest of the company in terms of their emissions average. Partially electrifying them is not a good idea either, with complex systems that make the product more expensive. Renault decided that if the future was electric it had two paths. The first was to fight for pure price, to make the cheapest car possible. It is ruled out with a Dacia that has the Spring and Chinese brands entering with force. The second way was to target nostalgia, to those who really have money to remember their past times in the Renault 5, 4 and now Twingo. But if they wanted to differentiate themselves, they had to create a product that someone would truly want to buy. And to make it attractive, the French company has given all the love and care possible to these cars… trying to contain the price. This is how the Renault Twingo was born, which in the absence of definitive prices will have an option based on less than 20,000 euros before aid. The proposal is simple: collect that spirit of modularity and practicality to have an urban car with minivan aspirations. The problem, and not a minor one, is that now the Twingo is tied to the city with that battery that approves 260 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle, which will surely go above this figure in the city but that outside of it limits us to routes that will be between 150 and, at most, 200 kilometers. To find the key, Renault has not hesitated to go to the place where cheap, electric cars and those designed in record time triumph. The Renault Twingo is the first major product born from the design and research center that the company has opened in Shanghai. Designed in China, made in Europe. Because the car will be manufactured on Slovenian soil. Specifically in the Novo Mesto plant but with a network of Chinese suppliers around it that guarantee to contain costs. The batteries, in fact, are LFP signed by CATL. Thus, they lack tariffs but claim to be able to bring Chinese knowledge to Europe. And since that context is not the same as that of 1992, when the Twingo was launched on the streets for the first time. To make a car like this attractive, Renault once again puts all the meat on the grill. It has done so by readapting the Renault Captur platform, miniaturizing it and installing the front axle of the Renault 5. This should give the Renault Twingo greater packaging, a greater sensation of a large car. On the outside, the design exercise is extraordinary. Perfect I would say. The play with the headlights, which are lightened by showing sheet metal between the LED arch … Read more

7,246 units sold in 2025 at the end of September. That is the data that raises the Omoda 5 as the best-selling car from Chery (Omoda, Jaecoo and Ebro) in our country. The compact SUV is one of the great cars of the moment, betting on the design-price-equipment combo as its great strength. The data is so good that, in fact, the SUV has the Top 10 best-selling gasoline cars in Spain within reach. Month by month, they have already sneaked in on occasion. They told us from Omoda It has only been a few days since they hope that this is just the beginning and that the arrival of a hybrid version should give them a good boost to sales. Nowadays the customer demands ECO sticker and the Omoda 5 SHS-H has it at a groundbreaking price, as is usual for the brand. Technical sheet Omoda 5 BODY TYPE. five-seater SUV MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHT. 4,373 meters long, 1,824 meters wide, 1,588 meters high. Wheelbase of 2,610 meters and weight of 1,480 kg.

Electrical from 37,900 euros before aid from the MOVES III Plan. Winning formula, now with ECO sticker There are no major changes in the Omoda 5 hybrid in relation to its gasoline versions but, in reality, it is not that it is needed. For now, the commitment of this Chinese brand seems to be working with an approach that focuses on design and a different image but, above all, on a cabin that doubles down. Now, with the Omoda 5 SHS-Hthe hybrid version of the model, the company adds a combination in which we find a 105 kW (143 HP) 1.5 TGDI combustion engine and a 150 kW (204 HP) electric motor that can together deliver up to 165 kW (224 HP) with a maximum torque of 294 Nm. Its acceleration remains in 7.9 seconds to cover 0 to 100 km/h. The company highlights that the battery for this hybrid is a 1.83 kWh LFP with “one of the highest instantaneous discharge powers in the sector.” They point out that in ideal conditions (25ºC and more than 50% battery charge) it can deliver up to 85 kW (114 HP) for 10 seconds, improving acceleration and recoveries. At Omoda they talk about “one car, two worlds” so, in the absence of testing it and seeing the technical specifications of the vehicle, we should expect great prominence from its electric side. It will have, to vary the power delivery and play with both engines, an ECO and a Sport driving mode. The accompanying equipment will continue to be really extensive. Among the highlighted elements, the double 12.3-inch screen is maintained, compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto or the dual-zone air conditioning. The customer will have a multifunction leather steering wheel, adaptive cruise control with emergency braking, lane maintenance and a rear camera as standard. Regarding its prices, the Omoda 5 SHS-H will be sold from 23,990 euros: Photo | Omoda In Xataka | “The hybrid is what people ask for”: Shawn Xu, global CEO of Omoda and Jaecoo, tells us about his plans for Spain and Europe

Nothing does not want to stop competing in one of the juiciest and most complicated segments in the world of smartphones: the affordable mid-range. The firm, which recently launched its first high rangechanges course completely with the Nothing Phone (3a) Litea terminal that seeks to offer the design that so characterizes the brand at a much more affordable price than its older brothers. And the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is a missile to the waterline of the rest of the manufacturers, since for 239 euros this device offers a different design, AMOLED panel, a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro very capable and a sufficient camera. With the introductions made, let’s get to know him better. Data sheet of the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite Nothing Phone (3a) Lite dimensions and weight 164 x 78 x 8.3mm 199 grams screen 6.77-inch Flexible AMOLED FullHD+ resolution (2,392 x 1,080 pixels) 387 dpi 10-bit color Refresh rate: 120 Hz adaptive Touch sampling: 1,000 Hz PWM Dimming: 2,160Hz Billo peak: 3,000 nits Maximum brightness: 1,300 nits processor MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G Mali-G615 GPU RAM MEMORY 8GB Virtual RAM: up to 16 GB INTERNAL STORAGE 128/256 GB expandable with microSD cards REAR CAMERA Wide 50 MP, f/1.88, OIS+EIS, PDAF Wide angle 8 MP, f/2.2, FOV 119.5º front camera 16MP f/2.45 battery 5,000 mAh 33W fast charge 5W reverse charging OPERATING SYSTEM Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5 3 years of major updates 6 years of security updates CONNECTIVITY 5G NSA/SA Bluetooth 5.3 NFC Wi-Fi 6 GPS USB type C OTHERS Fingerprint sensor on screen Glyph interface IP54 certification Essential Key Essential Space PRICE 8/128 GB: 239 euros 8/256 GB: 279 euros As striking as its brothers, but cheaper Nothing Phone (3a) Lite | Image: Nothing The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite has a thickness of 8.3 millimeters and its weight remains at 199 grams. As is customary in Carl Pei’s brand, its back is anything but discreet, with an industrial and transparent finish in which the Glyph interface stands out. This time it is not a set of LEDs that illuminate in full color, but a more modest and discreet implementation: an LED in the corner whose lighting patterns we can customize. The screen consists of a fairly generous AMOLED panel in size with FullHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. However, the most striking thing is its brightness level: 1,300 nits indoors and peaks of 3,000 nits outdoors, figures more typical of the high range than a 240 euro terminal. On paper, the truth is that it doesn’t look bad, although yes, no HDR technologies, for example. Nothing Phone (3a) Lite | Image: Nothing Inside we find a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro processor, an eight-core SoC with a maximum speed of 2.5 GHz. It is combined with eight gigabytes of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage which, in 2025, are expandable with microSD cards. A rare bird, definitely. With this combination, performance should be sufficient for everyday tasks and gaming. The operating system is Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5, although Nothing OS 4 (and surely Android 16) will arrive in the first half of 2026. In that sense, it is worth noting that Nothing is committed to offering three years of major updates and six years of security updates. AI, of course, makes an appearance again through the Essential Space that we already saw in previous models. Nothing Phone (3a) Lite | Image: Nothing Regarding the battery, 5,000 mAh with which Nothing promises up to 9.5 hours of gaming and 22 hours of YouTube playback. In any case, we already know that autonomy depends a lot on the use we make of the device. As for charging, 33W which, according to Nothing, charges half the battery in 20 minutes. Finally, and with regard to the camera, the terminal has a simple set: a 50-megapixel Samsung sensor under one angle and an eight-megapixel sensor under a wide angle. The most striking is the first, since it has OIS and EIS (something that is not seen every day in this range) and is compatible with Ultra XDR, the standard co-developed with Google. It is not the most complete camera, but it is enough for basic use. Versions and price of the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite Nothing Phone (3a) Lite | Image: Nothing He Nothing Phone (3a) Lite It can be purchased starting today, October 29, in two colors: black and white. The model with 8/128 GB costs 239 euros and the higher one, with 256 GB of storage, amounts to 279 euros. Images | nothing In Xataka | I had no idea what the future of the smartphone is.

OPPO is back on track. After launching last year the OPPO Find X8 Proa terminal whose camera we loved, the Chinese firm did not want to let the month of October pass without renewing its catalog with the OPPO Find X9 and Find X9 Pro. They are, as it could not be otherwise, two devices that aspire to the throne of the most premium high-end Android and that, to no one’s surprise, bet everything on the camera. The biggest differences between both models are in the screen and in the photographic section. The most striking thing is, once again, the zoom and the battery. OPPO has been betting on the silicon-carbon batteries and in its new models it has not skimped on milliamp hours: both terminals exceed 7,000 mAh capacity. That being said, let’s get to know them a little better. Technical sheet of the OPPO Find X9 5G and Find X9 Pro 5G OPPO Find x9 5G OPPO find x9 pro 5G dimensions and weight 156.9 x 73.9 x 7.99mm 203 grams 161.2 x 76.4 x 8.25mm 224 grams screen 6.59-inch ProXDR AMOLED Resolution 1.5K (2,760 x 1,256 pixels) Screen to body ratio: 95.4% 20:9 format 460 DPI Refresh rate: 30/60/90/120 Hz Touch sampling: 240Hz 10bit color Typical brightness: 800 nits Maximum brightness: 1,800 nits Peak brightness: 3,600 nits 6.79-inch ProXDR AMOLED Resolution 1.5K (2,772 x 1,272 pixels) Screen to body ratio: 95.5% 20:9 format 450 DPI Refresh rate: 1-120Hz Touch sampling: 240Hz 10bit color Typical brightness: 800 nits Maximum brightness: 1,800 nits Peak brightness: 3,600 nits PWM Dimming: 2,160Hz Dolby Vision HDR10+ HDR Vivid processor MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Arm G1-Ultra GPU MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Arm G1-Ultra GPU ram memory 12GB LPDDR5x 16GB LPDDR5x internal storage 512GB UFS 4.1 512GB UFS 4.1 rear camera Wide 50 MP, f/1.6, OIS Wide angle 50 MP, f/2.0, OIS Telephoto 50 MP, f/2.6, 3x optical zoom, 120x digital zoom 4K@60 FPS Video Dolby Vision Wide 50 MP, f/1.5, OIS Wide angle 50 MP, f/2.0, OIS Periscope 200 MP, f/2.1, 3x optical zoom, 120x digital zoom True Color Camera 4K Video@120 FPS Dolby Vision front camera 32MP, f/2.4 50MP, f/2.0 4K@60 FPS Video Dolby Vision battery 7,025mAh SuperVOOC 80W fast charging AirVOOC 50W Wireless Fast Charging 7,500 mAh SuperVOOC 80W fast charging AirVOOC 50W Wireless Fast Charging 10W reverse wireless charging operating system ColorOS 16 with Android 16 ColorOS 16 with Android 16 connectivity Wi-Fi 7 5G NSA/SA Bluetooth 5.0 NFC GPS Dual SIM eSIM USB Type C (USB 3.2) Wi-Fi 7 5G NSA/SA Bluetooth 5.0 NFC GPS Dual SIM eSIM USB Type C (USB 3.2) others Ultrasonic on-screen fingerprint reader IP66, IP68 and IP69 resistance AI Mind Space Connectivity with Apple devices Google Gemini Connected Apps Ultrasonic on-screen fingerprint reader IP66, IP68 and IP69 resistance AI Mind Space Connectivity with Apple devices Google Gemini Connected Apps steam chamber price 999 euros 1,299 euros A renewed design, although equally striking OPPO Find X9 | Image: OPPO If last year we had a huge circular module at the back and flat edges, the OPPO Find X9 returns to the origins with a rectangular module in the corner and straighter framessimilar to what we see in other smartphones. The module protrudes noticeably from the chassis, as does the new Snap Key (equivalent to the action button on iPhones and OnePlus terminals). On the right side we once again have the Quick Button to quickly launch the camera and zoom. Both devices are relatively similar in size, although the Pro model is somewhat thicker and noticeably heavier. However, the fact that the weight is around 200-220 grams and the thickness is eight millimeters is a more bearable sacrifice if we take into account the batteries of more than 7,000 mAh. All this accompanied by a resistance that leaves no loose end: IP66, IP68 and IP69. OPPO Find X9 Pro | Image: OPPO Regarding the screen, both devices incorporate ProXDR AMOLED panels about seven inches with 20:9 format. They share a large part of the technical specifications, namely resolution, maximum brightness and refresh rate, although that of the Pro model is slightly higher. While the OPPO Find OPPO has only confirmed that the Pro model is the one that has compatibility with HDR technologies, but it is expected that, although it is not expressly mentioned in the information shared with the media, the OPPO Find X9 will also have it. Another note that should be made is that, in the end, the fingerprint sensor under the screen is ultrasonicnot sonic. In short: more speed, more precision and no more needing to light up the sensor area to unlock the phone. MediaTek returns to the engine OPPO Find X9 Pro | Image: OPPO OPPO and MediaTek join hands again to sign the engine of the new OPPO Find X9. On this occasion, the SoC chosen is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500a chip made in three nanometers capable of reaching 4.21 GHz with its most powerful core. However, the most striking thing is the OPPO Trinity Engine, a system co-developed with MediaTek that, in essence, improves performance and the distribution of tasks between the CPU, GPU and DSU to optimize performance. According to OPPO, this system manages, for example, to reduce battery consumption by 16.1% during video recording by delegating tasks that would normally be done by the ISP to the processor. It also improves performance in high-stress scenarios (for example, when gaming) by up to 37%. To prevent the terminal from heating up, OPPO has implemented a vapor chamber in the Pro that is 33.7% larger than the last generation, so that it covers all critical components. OPPO Find X9 | Image: OPPO The system is accompanied by 12 gigabytes of RAM in the OPPO Find X9, a figure that rises to 16 gigabytes in the Pro model. Storage is 512 GB in both cases and it should be noted that the technologies chosen are the fastest available right now: LPPDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Another interesting aspect, … Read more

New DJI ROMO, features, price and technical sheet

by

For years, DJI has developed drones andcameras that define a good part of the sector. Now, the Chinese company lands in a very different scenario: that of robot vacuum cleaners. ROMO is the first step in a strategy that brings to the home the same precision that the company has been honing in the air for years. The movement is not surprising so much because of the technology, but because of the change in terrain. DJI leaves the sky for a moment to test if its engineering also works on the ground. Its new line is the result of a technical approach that DJI has mastered for years: obstacle detection and precise navigation. Instead of focusing on revolutionary features, the company has fine-tuned the elements it considers essential for error-free cleaning. Each model combines optical sensors and planning algorithms to cover more surface area and avoid collisions. The proposal is also supported by the DJI Home app, which adds specific modes (carpets, thresholds, pet areas) and alerts about the status of the tank or cloths. Flight technology to avoid socks and cables The ROMO detection system integrates optical sensors and LiDAR wide scope to generate detailed knowledge of the environment. DJI explains that data from both is combined using machine learning, allowing you to accurately recognize and avoid obstacles. Among the examples cited are thin cables or cards in a deck. This recognition also makes it easier to move under furniture and plan routes without blind areas. For DJI, the value of ROMO is not just in the sensors, but in how it interprets space. The company states that it has transferred part of the planning algorithms it uses in drones to these robots, with the aim of tracing more coherent routes and avoiding unnecessary movements. According to its description, the device can identify obstacles such as socks or cables and adjust its strategy without stopping. It also reduces speed when it detects loose debris. DJI’s stated suction power for the ROMO series reaches 25,000 pascals and an air flow of 20 liters per second, although the company does not specify whether these figures correspond to a specific model or the entire range. The system combines a “high-performance” motor with an internal flow-optimized design, and sensors automatically adjust the speed and movement of the side brush to prevent debris from being dispersed. According to the manufacturer, roller brushes with high-torque motors help collect hair without clogging. ROMO incorporates dual flexible arms that extend and retract based on available space, guided by real-time mapping and edge algorithms. This mechanism allows for deep cleaning along walls, corners and irregularly shaped furniture. In parallel, the mopping system has a 164 ml tank that keeps the cloths moist and adjusts the water flow when it detects stubborn stains. Sweeping always precedes scrubbing, which prevents dirt from moving before being removed. The ROMO base station is presented as an autonomous cleaning and emptying system. It combines high-pressure water jets with a 16mm chute to remove debris from cloths and a mechanism that applies 12 newtons of downward pressure to improve washing. The set is designed to operate during long periods without maintenancewith an estimated autonomy of up to 200 days. In addition, the base incorporates a sound suppression system with chambers and silencers that reduces suction noise by around 80%. All ROMO management is centralized in the DJI Home app, which includes different smart cleaning modes. These include options for rugs, thresholds or areas where pets are present, as well as the ability to customize the intensity and order of tasks. The system sends warnings when the water tanks or dust container are full and allows the robot’s activity to be monitored remotely. Access to the camera requires two-step authentication and videos are transmitted encrypted, in addition to being able to disable the video function completely. Within the range, the ROMO P incorporates a finish with transparent panels that reveal the internal structure both in the base and in the robot itself, and an additional compartment for deodorizer that can be dispensed along with the cleaning solution on the mop cloths. The ecosystem is completed with a official accessories linesuch as brushes, cloths, self-sealing bags, cleaning fluids and an auxiliary ramp. DJI does not detail other hardware differences between P, A and S. ROMO will debut in a segment where actors with solid proposals already coexist. iRobot stands out with the Roomba Max 705designed to manage pet hair. Roborock has gone one step further with the Saros Z70which incorporates an extendable robotic arm. And Dreame, with him Aqua10 Ultra Roller Completehas focused its commitment on the cleaning and maintenance of mops. DJI thus enters a category where innovation is not measured only in power, but in the ability to solve increasingly complex household tasks. Price and availability of the new DJI ROMO The ROMO series is now available through the DJI online store and authorized resellers, with shipments beginning today. The range is made up of three versions: ROMO P: from 1,899 euros ROMO A: from 1,599 euros ROMO S: from 1,299 euros. DJI has not detailed the exact hardware differences between them.

BYD has found a golden opportunity with the plug-in hybrid. Aware that electric vehicles are not advancing at the expected pace in Europe and that they have to make a jump in sales on our continent, the DM-i, their well-known plug-in hybrids, seem the best option to expand that customer base. The last to arrive is the BYD Atto 2 DM-i, the plug-in hybrid version of the one that until now It was only sold as an electric car. Its credentials are the same as always: autonomy of over 1,000 kilometers. We do not know its price at the moment but until now BYD has opted to make its cars a clear commitment to providing the most complete equipment at a reasonable price.

Pre-sale available in the month of November Delivery of the first units in the first quarter of 2026 A clear commitment to increasing customers BYD continues to expand its offer. In just over two years, the Chinese company has gone from landing with three flashy electric cars. Today, they already have nine cars in their range and they have completely redefined it. From betting solely on electric vehicles to having a good presence of plug-in hybrids. From playing with their most premium vehicles to choosing to open the market at a lower price. He BYD Atto 2 DM-i It will be one of the bets that sums this up perfectly. In this plug-in hybrid version, there are hardly any aesthetic changes. The company talks about a larger front grille and some minor changes such as the absence of side grilles on the fenders or a new emblem on the tailgate. This DM-i version will feature an exclusive Midnight Blue color. Regarding its equipment, the Chinese company has not offered details but we can expect few changes because its base models always come with great equipment. It remains to be seen if they repeat the configuration with their rotating 10-inch central screen or change something in that regard. Likewise, we can expect all the mandatory driving aids required by the European Union, with emergency braking, the rear camera or the speed warning assistant by default. All in all, and although it has not been revealed, it is very likely that we will also see it arrive with adaptive cruise control, a system that BYD has included in all its vehicles. The company boasts a propulsion system that should provide a range of 1,020 kilometers. If you choose to drive only in electric mode, the range will be 90 kilometers. This allows the car to take advantage of offers from the MOVES III Plan as if it were an electric one, that is, they can reach up to 7,000 euros in discount. The pre-sale is expected in November and that will be when they reveal the price. At the moment the electric version is sold for 25,790 euros before aid from the MOVES III Plan, so we can expect a very reasonable price.
