Infinix NOTE 60 Pro: Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 CPU, 144Hz OLED display, 6500mAh battery

The Infinix NOTE 60 series is now official. We’ll be talking about the vanilla model in a separate article. For this one, we’ll be focusing on the more premium Infinix NOTE 60 Pro. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: the design of the Infinix NOTE 60 Pro is inspired by the new iPhone 17 Pro series . It has a wide camera island, similar to Apple’s Camera Plateau, and comes with that unmistakable orange colorway. But, it has one trick up its sleeve. That camera island holds the Active Matrix Display. It’s a dot-style display that shows pixel icons, emojis, pets, time, weather, and more. You can also play mini games on this one. That island also holds the 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide. On the front, there’s a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, has 4,500-nit peak brightness, and is protected by a Corning Gorilla 7i. A 13-megapixel selfie camera is on top. Per usual, this Infinix smartphone is equipped ...

Meta reportedly wants to put automatic facial recognition to its smart glasses

Meta-Ray-Ban-Display-Smart-Glasses

Meta is working on adding facial recognition technology to its smart glasses, according to a new report, revealing that the company is now ready to revisit a feature it previously abandoned over privacy concerns.

The New York Times spoke with four anonymous sources familiar with the plans, who said the feature carries the internal codename “Name Tag.” It would let people wearing Meta’s Ray-Ban or Oakley smart glasses identify others and pull up relevant information about them using artificial intelligence.

The new feature could potentially recognize people the wearer already knows through Meta’s apps or display public data from Instagram profiles. However, the sources stressed that universal facial recognition, which would let users identify anyone they encounter, will not be an option.

The technology brings clear privacy risks, which may explain why Meta held back on showing it at a conference for the blind community last year. The company also dropped plans to include facial recognition in the first version of its smart glasses when they launched in 2023.

But an internal memo from Meta’s Reality Labs, seen by the Times, suggests the company now sees a path forward. The memo noted that with the current political environment in the US, many groups that would typically push back on such a feature may have their attention elsewhere.

Meta sees facial recognition as a way to stand out as competition in the smart glasses space heats up, especially with companies like OpenAI working on rival products.

This would not be Meta’s first attempt at the technology. The company turned off its Face Recognition system on Facebook in 2021 following public backlash over how it handled user privacy especially in the automated tagging system.

If you look at your new phone’s specifications, you will notice something like “IP69 Water and Dust Protection.” This is a common selling point that phone manufacturers and brands show on their specifications. At first glance, it may appear too technical, but it’s actually straightforward. What does the IP code mean? The “IP” in the IP code stands for Ingress Protection, an internationally recognized standard defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that indicates the level of dust and water protection of a gadget, such as a mobile phone or other electronic device. As you notice, the letters IP are usually followed by a mix of numbers and/or letters, like ‘IP69’ or ‘IPX7,’ indicating their water and dust protection rating.  We already mentioned what IP stands for. Now, let’s look at the next two digits. What does the first digit mean? The first digit after IP indicates solid particle protection, including dust, wires, or body parts. It will range from ...
