Alcatel 1 is an Android Oreo Go Edition smartphone with 534-inch display, 1GB RAM

The Alcatel 1 smartphone, which was spotted online a few days ago is now official. The company has announced the device at the ongoing MWC Shanghai event and as rumoured, it’s an entry-level device running on Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition) OS. It features a 5.34-inch FWVGA display with an 18:9 display aspect ratio and is powered by the quad-core MediaTek MT6739 SoC. The handset sports 1GB RAM, coupled with 8GB of internal storage. It is priced at $89 (Rs 6,200 approx) and is said to be made available in select regions from July 2018, however, there is no information on an India launch or pricing.  The Alcatel 1 comes in Metallic Blue, Metallic Black, and Metallic Gold colour variants. Google’s suite of Go apps come pre-installed on it, which are optimised for running on a device with low specs. The single-SIM handset is equipped with a 5MP rear camera with a flash, while on the front is an interpolated 5MP sensor. There is also a photo editing suite on the device called the Social Mode, which enables users to capture, edit and share images easily with tools like Photo Booth, Social Square, Instant Collage and One-Handed Mode. “With Photo Booth, users can take photo booth-style keepsakes with their friends anywhere that are instantly shareable. Social Square keeps the camera viewfinder open while displaying photos the user just took below, so they can stay in the photo-taking action. One-Handed Mode frees up a hand for users, letting them take quick snapshots with an interface that’s customizable for their comfort.” says Alcatel.  The device is backed by a 2000mAh battery and is equipped with a micro USB port for charging. The company says that it can deliver up to 8 hours of battery life under 4G usage, and can be fully charged in around 3 hours and 24 minutes.

20th Century Fox researchers create AI model to predict audience for a movie

Image
In a first, researchers from 20th Century Fox film studios have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered model to predict what target audience will most likely see a movie. The prediction is done on the basis of the film’s trailer. Since video trailers are one of the most critical elements of marketing campaigns for new films, the model can provide an opportunity to filmmakers to make movies depending on the interests of general moviegoer population, easily communicate the plot of the movie to them, present the main characters, and reveal important hints about the story. This could also help them to understand what aspects of the movie the audience liked and what parts they did not. “These insights typically determine the strategy for the rest of the marketing campaign. In this paper we present a tool, which we call Merlin Video, that uses computer vision to create dense representations of the movie trailer, and uses those representations to predict customer behaviour.

Apple is rumoured to launch the iPhone SE successor - tentatively called the iPhone SE 2 - in 2020. Now, alleged iPhone SE 2 renders have leaked online. The phone is supposed to pack flagship internals in a not-so-flagship level design. The first leak-based renders and 360-degree video of alleged iPhone SE 2 suggest that it will carry the design of iPhone 8, which means it will come with the Touch ID button. Further, the leaks reveal a single rear camera setup. The latest development comes courtesy of tipster @OnLeaks in collaboration with iGeeksBlog.

After Facebook, Apples plan to introduce Apple Pay in India stalls: Report

Image
Apple’s plans to introduce its UPI-based payments platform ‘Apple Pay’ seem to have hit a brick wall. According to a report in The Economic Times, the reason for this is that the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) recently laid out rules which make it mandatory for any company, who wishes to introduce payment service in India, to save all the related data on local servers in the country. Citing people with the knowledge of the matter, the national daily reported that apart from Apple and Facebook, Amazon has also stalled the full rollout of its service, Amazon Pay. Google, which recently renamed its UPI-based service ‘Tez’ to ‘Google Pay’, is also reported to be “assessing the evolving situation around data localisation.” With the rules in place, other players like Facebook, Mastercard, Visa, and PayPal are also uncertain of going ahead with their plans. “Apple put the brakes on introducing Apple Pay in the country despite holding discussions with a few leading banks and the National Payme
