Oppo plans to launch a tablet next year, work on rollable and fodable phones is still ongoing

Last year Oppo unveiled a concept rollable phone, but that was just a tech showcase – the company had no plans to mass manufacture and sell such devices at that point. It was reportedly more willing to try a foldable phone first, but that hasn’t come yet either (despite a rumor saying that it will launch this June). Oppo has not given up on the changeable form factor phones, however. At a recent event VP Liu Bo hinted that the company is working on both foldable and rollable designs, but mentioned no specific plans to launch either. The company will be entering a new market soon,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://bit.ly/39S3E9t

New iPad mini torn down, iFixit explains jelly scroll effect

In a new video posted by iFixit, the recently announced iPad mini is torn down and a jelly scrolling effect is also explained. This so-called "jelly scroll" effect is not new. It has to do with the orientation of the controller board and the direction that user is scrolling. Because the screen refreshes by scanning from one side to the other, scrolling in the direction that's perpendicular to the direction of the scan may appear like its scrolling unevenly in some cases, particularly when using the iPad in a vertical orientation.

And that helped push the new mini to 130 points in the DxOMark camera test suite, matching the old iPhone 12 Pro Max.
