Microsoft Surface Duo

Microsoft Surface Duo will come in September at a $1,399 price tag

Microsoft finally confirmed that the Surface Duo is ready for the market with orders starting today while  coming out on September 10

Microsoft is launching its dual-screen Android phone Surface Duo on September 10, priced at $1,399. A few months after Microsoft executives partially announced the device on Twitter, the company today officially begins the pre-orders for the Surface Duo in the US. Orders will be available at AT&T, online at Microsoft and Best Buy.

The company had revealed the design of this smartphone for many months but only today we managed to discover its features as well. “This is probably one of the sexiest devices we’ve ever created,” Windows and hardware manager Panos Panay told at a pre-launch news conference today. “The Surface Duo does things that single-screen devices can’t do”

The device includes two separate screens with 5.6 inches OLED (1800 x 1350) with a ratio of 4:3 that are connected together to form a screen – of an 8.1-inch (2700 x 1800) total workspace with a ratio of 3: 2. Unlike other foldable models like Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, the Surface Duo is using real Gorilla Glass, and the screens are designed to work in a similar way to multiple monitors on a Windows PC.

Microsoft is using the 11MP f/ 2.0 camera, which will include automatic low light modes, multi-frame HDR capture, and a “superzoom” of up to 7x. 4K and 1080p video recordings will be supported at 30fps and 60fps, with electronic image stabilization. There is only one camera in the Surface Duo, which can be used for both video calling and main camera.

The Surface Duo features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal memory. LTE is available on T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon, but there is no support for 5G. Microsoft has been working closely with Google on Android for the Surface Duo. Microsoft had to rely on Android for the reason of mobile applications, especially after Windows Phone failed in the market.

Top 5 Games Like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

The Assassin’s Creed series was experiencing a decline in quality, till to the point where one of the most beloved games for fans came out: Odyssey

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a game that gives the player the opportunity to control the gameplay, to the point where it can choose to play as a male or female mercenary in the Peloponnesian War. The gameplay also includes a very inclusive open world and a story that relates very well to all of this.

If you are a fan of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, then there are some other games similar to it that you may try out:

#1. LORD OF THE RINGS: SHADOW OF WAR

As a successful sequel to Shadow of Mordor, Lord of the Rings: Shadow of War is a fairly well-executed RPG. History and missions will keep you busy for a few good hours and Tolkein’s beautiful world of imagination is something that will remind you of the beautiful story of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

#2. RED DEAD REDEMPTION

Although Red Dead Redemption does not give the antique feel of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, it does a brilliant job of bringing an open-world game to those who are fans of this genre. The game gives players a vast world intertwined with interesting missions, NPCs that interact with you, and various types of activities you can explore.

#3. TOM CLANCY’S THE DIVISION

Tom Clancy’s The Division is a third-person RPG set in a post-apocalyptic future. You start as part of the Strategic Homeland Division, in a lifeless New York, with the mission to make the city safe and functional again.

#4. ASSASSIN’S CREED ORIGINS

Assassin’s Creed Origins is the predecessor of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and was the first of the games to introduce loose gameplay in the series. Set in ancient Egypt, the game follows the story of Bayek, a Medjay seeking revenge against the five men responsible for the murder of his child. A short but compelling story that gave Assassin’s Creed series direction and new life.

#5. THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT

It makes no sense to talk about open-world RPG and exclude The Witcher 3. The game is the final installation of The Witcher trilogy and follows Geralt on his way to find Cirilla. A game that definitely redefines the term free-roam gameplay, The Witcher 3 is the standard by which it compares to any other open-world game, including Assassin’s Creed Odyssey itself.

NVIDIA next-gen graphics cards a big hit to AMD

New rumors suggest that NVIDIA is preparing to launch new Ampere graphics cards with the NVIDIA RTX 3000 series. The latest information says that NVIDIA will launch three new graphics cards in September, followed by another in October and the last two of this line, the presentation of which is not known when it will take place.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The big news is NVIDIA’s most powerful new graphics card which will succeed the RTX 2080 Ti with 24GB vRAM. Such an amount of memory can only be rivaled by the super expensive RTX Titan graphics card but on the other hand, thwarts any attempt by AMD to compete with the new Navi graphics which have no more than 16GB vRAM.

The RTX 3080 will come with 24GB of vRAM and a 384-bit bus. The RTX 2080 Super will be replaced by the RTX 3080 with 10GB vRAM and debuts in mid-September. The graphics card that will come in October has 20GB of vRAM. Finally, the two remaining graphics cards will replace the RTX 2070 Super with 8GB and 16GB vRAM.

40% of Android smartphones exposed of spying and data theft

Security researchers at Check Point have found a full 400 security issues in various parts of the code used by the digital signal processor (DSP) on Snapdragon mobile processors. Snapdragon is a chip system that contains several components from the processor, graphics to DSP. The latter is used for several reasons ranging from charging to video and audio recording, augmented reality, and other multimedia functions.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Phone manufacturers can use DSP for dedicated applications that enable certain features. The chip is implemented in at least 40% of smartphones worldwide including high-end devices from Google, OnePlus, and Samsung.

Check Point says hackers can exploit security issues in three ways:

  • Spy. The Android phone can be turned into a spying device and above all, no user intervention is required. Photos are copied, calls are recorded, location is exposed and the microphone is spied.
  • Data Theft. It can be performed in complete silence without the knowledge of the user and can not even be removed by the latter.
  • Phone Damage. The smartphone can be rendered unusable by totally rendering it out of function.

All that is needed according to Check Point is for a hacker to install an application on the victim’s device. The problems were all approved by Qualcomm and given the CVE designations as follows: CVE-2020-11201, CVE-2020-11202, CVE-2020-11206, CVE-2020-11207, CVE-2020-11208 and CVE-2020- 11209.

The chipmaker Snapdragon has notified all smartphone makers and addressed all the problems. All those who have not received the security updates remain exposed. Experts say it will take months maybe years until all Android smartphone users are safe. Check Point did not publish the technical details of the problems to prevent attackers from taking full advantage of them.

Users have no choice but to wait for companies to update their smartphones. Although Qualcomm has released the update, no Android phone has it incorporated yet.

Intel in Partnership with MediaTek Revealed the First 5G Chip for Laptops

The 5G MediaTek T700 chip is designed to be used on next-generation laptops with Intel processors

Intel does not build 5G modems after retiring from the business due to failing to meet the expectations, but the partnership with MediaTek has begun to bear fruit. The two companies introduced the 5G MediaTek T700 modem designed to be used on the next-generation laptops with Intel processors.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

In this partnership, Intel has worked on the integration and development of the platform for the 5G chip as well as providing assistance to OEM partners. The MediaTek T700 chip offers support for 5G sub-6Ghz technology. But the chip also works with 4G networks. MediaTek promised that this processor will be extremely efficient by saving the laptop battery while browsing the Internet or making 5G calls.

Given the higher 5G internet capacity, laptops with these modems will become a necessity. Recently launched laptops like the Dell Latitude 9510 2n1, HP Elite Dragonfly G2, and Lenovo Flex 5G use Qualcomm 5G modems.

5 Low-Spec Open-World PC Games

For all of you who have a PC system

The open-world gaming genre in 2020 has been created as one of the most popular genres in all games. The genre has been home to some of the most successful games of the last decade. These are some of the best open-world low-specs requirement PC games that can run on computers with 2 GB of RAM.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

However, slowly it is repeating itself and becoming more boring, with each new release trying to incorporate elements of the open-world genre. However, the cream always rises to the top (if you do not know as a reference ask moms), and the best games eventually find an audience sooner or later.

These are 5 Low-Spec Open-World PC Games

#5. Just Cause 2

If the gaming industry were to award for ‘Highest Number of Explosions Per Minute’, then the Just Cause series would easily receive the award every year. Games have evolved in size, scale, and, most importantly, more things to blow up. The original game was received relatively well, but it was the sequel Just Cause 2 that took the franchise to a new level and made it a series of the genre that is just as popular as it is today.

#4. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

The Witcher books have created not only a great Netflix show but most importantly, a gaming trilogy that is now considered among the best. The Witcher series evolved with each game being better than the previous one, and the sequel is the prime example of how the Project Red CD is growing by leaps and bounds. The Witcher 2 campaign is delightful, with player decisions and choices that bring real consequences to the story and outcome of the game.

#3. The Saboteur

One of the most overlooked games of the last decade that has slowly turned into a cult after all these years, The Saboteur is a really great game with lots of original ideas. The game puts you in France as an Irish freedom fighter who is working to get rid of the Nazi occupation in Paris. The game uses color to underline parts of the city that are uneven and gives an incredibly engaging experience.

#2. Assassin’s Creed II

Speaking of games with impressive sequels, Assassin’s Creed II is considered one of the best gaming sequences in history. The game founded Assassin’s Creed as a classic genre and one of the most fun open-world experiences of its time. Real-life historical events have always been a strong aspect of the series.

#1. Mafia II

Mafia II has an open world, but not at the level of GTA games. From snow-covered roads in winter or bright red Hot Rods, the Mafia II world feels authentic and never manages to bring a smile to your face. Anyone who has ever watched Goodfellas has only dreamed of playing a game like Mafia II. The game puts you in control of Vito, a future member of the Italian mafia. It tells an extremely heartfelt story, the ending of which has become quite famous in the world of video games.
