New iPhone Concept Design Unveiled: Metal Body Harks Back to iPhone 6?
Apple has been using glass bodies on recent iPhone models, sticking to a consistent design language, which has led many users to reminisce about the days of metal-bodied iPhones. According to CNMO, German industrial designer and 3D artist Jonas Daehnert recently created the latest iPhone concept renderings, enough to excite fans of "metal phones."
New iPhone Concept Design
Inspired by the iPad Pro, the new iPhone features an aluminum body with finely polished surfaces, slightly curved edges, and visible antennas. It bears a resemblance to the design elements of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 series.
Sony Xperia 1 VI Camera Configuration Leak: 48MP LYT800 Main Camera
Sony recently announced that the Xperia new product launch event will take place on May 15th, where two new smartphones are expected to be unveiled - the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI. Despite the official event not yet taking place, leaked promotional images and information have already revealed the camera specifications and other key parameters of these two phones.
According to reliable sources, the Xperia 1 VI has undergone significant upgrades in its camera setup. The flagship model's camera system now includes three different sensors: an ultra-wide-angle lens (16mm focal length) with a 50-megapixel Sony LYT600 sensor, a main camera (24mm focal length) equipped with a 48-megapixel Sony LYT800 sensor, and a telephoto lens (85-170mm focal length) using a 50-megapixel LYT500 sensor.
Great Wall Motors Management: Accelerating the Application of Solid-State Batteries in Vehicles
On May 10th, CNMO learned that during Great Wall Motors' annual shareholders meeting, the company's management announced that they currently have the capability to produce small-capacity all-solid-state soft pack battery cells for the next generation of solid-state batteries. This advancement can significantly increase the battery's energy density and will expedite the application of solid-state batteries in vehicles.
It is understood that traditional liquid lithium batteries consist of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, electrolyte, and a separator, while solid-state batteries are an innovative battery technology characterized by the use of solid electrodes and solid electrolytes. According to a solid-state battery development engineer from the Power Battery Research Institute, during the charging and discharging process of liquid batteries, lithium ions move back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes, a principle similar to that of solid-state batteries. However, solid-state batteries demonstrate significant advantages in terms of safety, energy density, volume, and low-temperature performance.
OnePlus 13 Camera Module Design Exposed, Abandoning Previous Generation Styling, reminiscent of OnePlus 7T
In December last year, OnePlus released the highly anticipated flagship phone, the OnePlus 12, with its outstanding performance and design receiving enthusiastic market feedback, being praised by the media as one of the most outstanding Android flagship phones of the year. Recently, CNMO learned that well-known foreign leaker Yogesh Brar shared preliminary outlines of the rear camera module designs for the OnePlus 13 and 13R phones.
It is worth emphasizing that these design drawings are still in the early stages of development, so the actual products may be adjusted. From the design drawings, the camera modules of OnePlus 13 and 13R are different from the current OnePlus 12 and 12R. The OnePlus 12 and 12R feature a circular camera module design biased to the left, while the camera module of OnePlus 13 may move to the center, similar to the design of OnePlus 7T. In addition, the new camera module appears to be larger, which may indicate that it will feature a more advanced camera setup (although previous leaks suggest the camera setup may be similar to that of OnePlus 12). This design change will undoubtedly attract great attention from OnePlus fans and consumers.
