The biggest change in the appearance of the vivo X Fold Plus is the new red color. Unlike the traditional red color, this red color, which is deeper and heavier, with the plain leather process, is extremely business-like. The red leather is paired with the black frame and image module, and the red and black combination, as well as the shiny vivo logo on the leather, gives the phone a unique and elegant look.

The image module part, Vivo X Fold Plus adopts the square and round sky step design, the round four-camera module is located on top of the square “sky step”, the right side uses a large area of white, the upper right corner of the obvious Zeiss small blue mark.

Between the round lens module and the square decorative parts, there is a slightly curved extension of the glass surface articulated, this continuous glass surface cleverly transition the abruptness of the camera module. The rotor part, using a metal sandblasting process, matte frosting is very fine.

At first glance, the center frame of vivo X Fold Plus looks angular, but a closer look reveals a small circle of rounded chamfers near the edge, making the whole frame look thinner and lighter.

In addition to the volume and power buttons, there is also a separate physical mute button in the center frame, which allows users to choose whether to turn off/on the media volume with the mute button through the system settings.

On the top, there is a large speaker opening and infrared light; on the bottom, there is a microphone, speaker, SIM card slot and charging port; in addition, the Vivo X Fold Plus+ has three microphones (top + bottom + back lens set) and a barometer, which displays air pressure and altitude in real time in the compass.

As a folding screen phone, Vivo X Fold Plus’s external display ratio is no different from that of a normal phone, measuring 6.53 inches with 2520 × 1080 resolution and an aspect ratio of 21:9, which makes it slightly heavy in the hand.

After the vivo X Fold Plus is unfolded is 8 inches, 4:3.55 aspect ratio, resolution up to 2160 * 1916 large internal screen, this internal screen is also made of E5 material, support 120Hz high brush, also reached the world’s first 19 Display Mate performance records, and got the overall A + level certification, is still the top of the folding screen screen.

Compared to traditional photoelectric fingerprint, ultrasonic fingerprint is one level higher in unlocking rate, speed, anti-interference and security, and there will be no sudden bright light “blindness” at night.

In terms of hardware, the Vivo X Fold Plus has a considerable upgrade. Firstly, the processor has been upgraded from Snapdragon 8 to the latest Snapdragon 8+, which has been greatly improved thanks to TSMC’s 4nm process, especially in terms of temperature control and power consumption.

Secondly, in the charging part, Vivo X Fold Plus battery is upgraded from 4600mAh to 4730mAh, and the fast charging is also upgraded from 66W to 80W, and also supports 50W wireless flash charging and 10W wireless reverse charging. Other specifications are still top-notch, including a custom SPU security chip, 12GB+512GB, 12GB+256GB storage, overclocked UFS 3.1 + enhanced LPDDR5, and more.

In addition, it should be emphasized that Vivo X Fold Plus also supports DSDA technology for the first time and debuts dual 5G dual SIM technology on the folding screen, for example, when the primary card is gaming/ talking, the secondary card can still call/ talk/ text. For business people, this feature is very important, not to miss calls, disconnected, to keep the dual card communication lasting smoothly, and may be able to negotiate a large business list at critical moments.

A few days ago, digital blogger “small B MAX” according to the jelly box data, statistics in August Jingdong self-owned folding screen cell phone sales ranking.

From the list, Xiaomi’s latest folding screen flagship MIX Fold 2 won first place with more than 10,000 sales, taking the top spot, and is the only model on the list with more than 10,000 sales.

You know Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 was just released on August 11, more than half a month sold more than 10,000 units, which shows the power of its products.

It’s worth mentioning that after the first batch went on sale, the Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold 2 was priced at least 1,000 more than the original price on third-party channels to get it because it was so sought-after.

The main reason for the fire of Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold 2 is that the design has brought a stripped down upgrade, first of all, the thickness of the machine after unfolding is only 5.4mm, only a little thicker than the Type-C interface, which is currently the thinnest 5G phone.

At the same time, the outer screen uses a 21:9 ratio of high brush screen, when used as the main screen is no problem at all, and with the internal 8-inch large screen to achieve high brush, brightness and other parameters of consistency.

Returning our attention to the ranking, Huawei Mate Xs 2 and Vivo X Fold are 2 and 3 in turn, with sales of more than 7,000 and 6,000 respectively.

Among the top 10 models, Samsung has three units, Huawei and Xiaomi have two units each, and other brands have one unit each.

In addition to the film and television rights, Tencent also enjoys the exclusive license to record The Three Bodies as an audio work.

A few days ago, the Shanghai Intellectual Property Court announced the results of a case concerning the maintenance of Tencent’s audio copyright of Three Bodies.

In 2019, Tencent filed a lawsuit with the Shanghai Pudong New District People’s Court after believing, through online forensics, that a large amount of audio content of “Three Bodies” uploaded by anchors existed in Litchi’s Litchi App.

The instrument shows that the plaintiff Tencent claimed that it signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with Liu Cixin, the author of the novel Three Bodies, in May 2016, and that Liu Cixin issued a letter of authorization in which the plaintiff enjoyed an exclusive license to record Three Bodies as an audio work.

The defendant Lychee provided a large number of unauthorized audiobooks for online listening, playing and caching through its website and “Lychee” application, which caused many Internet users to stop visiting the plaintiff’s website and downloading the plaintiff’s “Penguin FM” client. The Court of First Instance held that the defendant Lychee had infringed on the copyright of the plaintiff’s work in question.

The court of first instance held that the defendant Lychee infringed the plaintiff’s copyright and should bear the responsibility of stopping the infringement, eliminating the impact and compensating the damages.

Li Zhi Company argued that the exclusive license of the right to adapt “Three Bodies” into a radio drama was owned by Himalaya Company, and Liu Cixin did not authorize the right to webcast the work in question to Tencent, so it filed an appeal.

The court of second instance held that the first instance judgment found that the facts were clear and the applicable law was flawed but the verdict was correct, so the verdict rejected the appeal of Litchi and upheld the original verdict.

The new discs are said to hold 1TB each and are expected to be packaged in 10 disc cartridges. A particular highlight of these discs is that they can be produced at a “radically lower cost”. Thanks to the use of next-generation materials and efficient production techniques, ACTIVE discs cost less than $5 per TB and are planned to reach $1 per TB.

While many have consigned ODD technology to the dustbin of technology history, along with floppy disks and the like, Folio Photonics sounds very confident in its new format.

In a press release, Folio Photonics CEO Steven Santamaria boasted that the new ACTIVE disc offers “an entirely new approach to optical storage that overcomes historical limitations and enables unheard-of benefits in terms of cost, cybersecurity and sustainability.”

Santamaria’s claim is supported by experienced IT industry analyst John Monroe, who praised the new optical format and offered some insight into the technology behind active optical discs.

Monroe explained that while today’s archival optical discs have up to three layers, Active discs are made with next-generation materials, patented polymer extrusion and a thin-film-based disc construction process. Such discs work in concert with a custom optical pickup unit, which together facilitate discs with up to 16 thin film layers per side.

In addition, Folio Photonics has developed a roadmap to increase the number of layers over time, with media costs as low as $1 per TB.

The rollout of active optical disc technology is expected to begin in 2024 with 10 disc cartridges supporting 10 TB. The projected cost per TB is $5, roughly five times cheaper than HDD. Continuing with this comparison, HDDs consume up to 80% of the power. Thus, in two important respects (price per TB and running costs), Active is clearly ahead compared to HDD storage. This total cost of ownership advantage should appeal to businesses interested in easy access to their archives.

Folio Photonics claims that Active discs are made of sustainable materials. However, there seems to be little compromise when it comes to the durability of the discs, as the media is claimed to have a 100-year lifespan, is unaffected by radiation or water, and is resilient to heat, cold and humidity.

The company also claims that Active discs are not susceptible to EMP attacks, which is the case with HDDs. Both Active and HDDs outperform tape archival storage in terms of fast read/write operations. Nothing is said about the read/write performance of ACTIVE discs, which is obvious. Hopefully, some performance details will be shown before the product is launched.

Recently, the company announced that the Sion solar-powered electric vehicle will start production in the second half of 2023, and will be manufactured by Finland’s Valmet Automotive.

Reports say that as of September 1 this year, the car has been booked for more than 20,000 units, and the SonoMotors website shows that the Sion solar electric car currently has a deposit of 500 euros and an MSRP of 29,900 euros. After the completion of the capacity climb, Sono’s plan to produce about 257,000 Sion cars in seven years.

According to the introduction, Sion solar electric car in almost every plane is equipped with solar panels, including the hood, roof, fenders and trunk. However, considering the cost of the vehicle after an accident, the front of the car is not equipped with solar panels.

Sono officials say the vehicle has a total of 456 solar cells, providing a range of about 112 kilometers per week, but that number could double if the weather is better.

In addition, the vehicle also has a 54kWh battery pack with a WLTP range of 305km, a battery with a charging power cap of 75kW and a bi-directional charging function that turns the car into a mobile power station with an output of 2.7kW. Powering the Sion solar electric car is a 120kW motor with a maximum torque of 270N-m.

However, aviation accidents and environmental problems can not be ignored. Recently, the Israeli Airport Authority said that Israel will ban the use of four-engine aircraft, including Boeing 747, from March 31, 2023, in order to reduce noise and air pollution.

According to CNMO, Israel has banned the use of four-engine aircraft, including the Boeing 747, in order to reduce the noise and air pollution caused by the takeoff and landing of four-engine aircraft, as part of the country’s environmental protection plan.

Currently, Israel has told airlines that they will not be able to land large planes at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv and other major airports starting in the summer of 2023. However, Israel has said that in exceptional cases, four-engine aircraft can be used normally after obtaining special permission.

It is worth noting that all Boeing 747s of Israel’s national airline were retired in 2019, and most airlines flying to Israel have largely stopped using four-engine aircraft.

The only four-engine commercial airliners in production are the Boeing 747 and the Airbus A380 and A340.

Through an app, users can choose from 22 colors for the upper door panel and 19 colors for the lower door panel, thus changing the color scheme of the refrigerator and the kitchen environment.
In addition users are able to set different themes to change the refrigerator color, including season, mood, location, etc., through different colors to a different feeling.

In addition to colorful colors, LG’s new refrigerator also has a built-in Bluetooth speaker that allows users to connect to the refrigerator via smartphones, tablets, etc. to play their favorite music. Meanwhile, MoodUP’s LED panel can keep changing colors in sync with the music, adding more fun to the kitchen.

The refrigerator also has some thoughtful features, such as when the door sensor detects that the refrigerator compartment has been open for too long, the door panel will flash repeatedly to remind the user that it needs to be closed. When the MoodUP’s motion sensor detects that someone is approaching, the door panel will blink in welcome.

In addition, MoodUP is built with LG’s own On-Device AI chip, which enables MoodUP to upgrade features such as voice recognition as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity to improve the user experience.

If you take the same gasoline and give the same model the fuel version and the extended-range version, which one is more fuel-efficient? Can it run farther?

This is the question many people have. The essence is which is more efficient, the extended-range power compared to the traditional fuel power.

In terms of efficiency conversion process, every conversion of energy has “waste”, the less the conversion process, the more efficient. The former is chemical energy → mechanical energy → electrical energy → mechanical energy, roughly after 4 energy conversions; the latter is chemical energy → mechanical energy, roughly after 2 energy conversions.

From this point of view, traditional fuel power should be more efficient with fewer energy conversions, but the problem is that each energy conversion also takes into account the actual efficiency and the actual working conditions.

Although the energy conversion of traditional fuel power is less, but the thermal efficiency of the engine is generally not high, more than 40% will be very efficient, and long-term maintenance is difficult, especially in the city stop and go, the actual efficiency may be less than 30%, a serious drag, the integrated power can reach 35% is good.

The advantage of the add-on power is that even in urban conditions, the engine is still in the best working range (generally around 40%) and continues to generate electricity efficiently with gasoline, while the efficiency of the electric motor (electrical energy into mechanical energy) is generally higher than 90% and 95% is the norm, so the combined power of the add-on power can reach more than 37%.

However, under high-speed conditions, the efficiency of traditional fuel power can be maintained at a higher level and can run farther, therefore, certain plug-in hybrid systems take direct fuel drive mode under high-speed conditions.

In general, in urban conditions, the hybrid power is more efficient and can run farther; in high-speed conditions, the traditional fuel power is more efficient and can run farther; in comprehensive conditions, the advantage of the hybrid power is a bit greater.

Of course, like cooking, even if the recipe and ingredients are perfect, it still depends on the cook’s skill, and it doesn’t exclude that some hybrid models are not very efficient.

In addition, this does not mean that the hybrid is environmentally friendly, after all, its main energy is still from fossil fuels, or gasoline, high-speed mode is currently not at all fuel-efficient.

In contrast, pure electric vehicles are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Compared with the fuel engine, the electric motor is “emotionally” stable, more energy efficient and more energy-saving. As for energy sources, although the current power generation mainly relies on coal, but electricity production has been diversified, and including wind power, hydropower, photovoltaic power and other clean energy ratio is gradually expanding.

Editor’s Note

Compared to pure fuel cars, the extended program power is more fuel-efficient in the city and has no range anxiety, which does have certain advantages.

In the future, the decline in the market size of pure fuel vehicles is inevitable.

However, the incremental power can only be connected in series, not in parallel, and the feeder fuel consumption is relatively high, so it can only be used as the current transition technology.
