ARCHOS 50d Oxygen, new economic smartphones with metal frame

Archos has unveiled a new smartphone the Oxygen line, Archos 50d Oxygen. It will be presented during the Mobile World Congress 2016 which, remember, will be held February 22 to 25. The new French will be as usual a solution from the value targeted, with mid-range hardware, Android 5.1 Lollipop preinstalled with full access to Google Play Store and dual-SIM module device. The price? 179.99 USD.


Archos 50d Oxygen is a low-budget smartphone features a 5-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD resolution. The company promises "deep blacks" by implementing a manufacturing technology called "Full Lamination". As for the design we find a gold metal frame and a rear polycarbonate shell, but it will be verified in the field in Barcelona the feeling that the solution will be able to express in normal use.

Hardware side we find a platform centered on a SoC MediaTek MT-6753, containing eight cores to 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53. The processor is supported by 2GB of DDR3 RAM and 16GB of ROM expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. The new model is compatible with 4G LTE networks Cat. 4, then 150Mbps theoretical maximum download bandwidth, and can hold two SIM Dual Standby mode.

Photo on the front there are two distinct forms, as usual: the rear uses a 13-megapixel sensor with auto-focus and LED flash, and is capable of recording video at 1080p resolution. For selfies and video calls you will instead rely on a 5 megapixel module. Under the shell, thick 8.2mm, there is a removable battery 2.100mAh that considering the specifications of the device, it should offer a duration sufficient only on single charge.

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...

Billionaire clothing dynasty heiress launches Everybody & Everyone to make fashion sustainable

Veronica Chou’s family has made its fortune at the forefront of the fast fashion business through investments in companies like Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger . But now, the heiress to an estimated $2.1 billion fortune is launching her own company, Everybody & Everyone , to prove that the fashion industry can be both environmentally sustainable and profitable. There’s no argument about the negative impacts of the fashion industry on the environment. The textiles industry primarily uses non-renewable resources — on the order of 98 million tons per year. That includes the oil to make synthetic fibers, fertilizers to grow cotton, and toxic chemicals to dye, treat, and produce the textiles used to make clothes. The greenhouse gas footprint from textiles production was roughly 1.2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent in 2015 — more than all international flights and maritime shipments combined (and a lot of those maritime shipments and international flights were hauling clothes). The lit...
