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...

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. ...
