Alcatel One Touch Idol 4S, packaging will be a card box for the virtual reality

Many companies encourage you to recycle packaging in which a product is delivered, but it appears that Alcatel has a solution entirely new and original to the problem. The packaging of the impending Alcatel OneTouch Idol 4S fact can be used as a viewer for virtual reality thanks to an approach similar to that of Google Cardboard.


VentureBeat spoke who managed to get information on new models of smartphones Alcatel. The box of OneTouch Idol 4S is made of polycarbonate and inside it has two lenses, a slot for storing your device and a single button to select items on the screen. It is the most advanced solution from a technological point of view, however, does his duty once you put the smartphone in it.

Alcatel OneTouch Idol 4S will not be, however, an explosive device at the technical level, and we wonder how it will behave with the highest computational loads required for the virtual reality rendering. The device will occupy the mid-range with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 652 and a Full HD display of 5.5 ". It will be sold for less than $ 400, according to sources, a relatively affordable price even if we consider the inclusion of VR viewer.

Virtual reality is not, however, compatible only with video games. More and more applications and services offer a 360 ° video easily managed with a VR viewer: for example we find them on YouTube and Facebook, and several filmmakers, as well as companies such as Google and The New York Times, are taking to the field by offering their creativity with "navigable" content. Idol 4S should be released in May, but to date we do not know if we'll have to try it, along with his viewer, at Mobile World Congress.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
