iPad Pro will reportedly feature 2K display and eye tracking technology

By Leave a Comment

ipad-pro The rumors on the iPad Pro continue to grow and we have another report on some of the specs and features coming on the high-end tablet from Apple. Cupertino looks to mimic the strategy they have been using with MacBook for iPad, splitting the product into iPad Air and iPad Pro.

The iPad Air will be the thin and light experience, while the iPad Pro will pack a punch with more powerful internals and features for the more professional user, including the possibility of eye tracking technology.

Eye tracking technology has been explored by Samsung on their Galaxy S and Note devices, but not to much success. Apple may have something different in store for the eye tracking, possibly understanding movements on the iPad apps and tailoring the experience for the user.

In terms of raw specs, the iPad Pro will come with a 2K display, this is a step up from the retina display currently on the iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display, but isn’t that big of a jump compared to previous 4K rumors we have heard.

The screen size will also be boosted to a 12.2-inch display, making this the biggest iPad available. Apple will be able to sell the iPad in three different versions, Mini, Air and Pro for three different types of users, although we need to see software improvements on the iPad Pro to really make a difference.

Release date is still a little foreign, we cannot pin-point if Apple wants to get this out at their WWDC conference or at a later date, possibly at their iPhone/iPad conference that normally happens in September or October.

The price for the iPad Pro will certainly be higher than the iPad Air, with the more advanced feature set comes a higher price. We expect somewhere in the region of $600 – 800 for the base model, with improvements taking the iPad Pro up to over $1000.

Oppo Find 7 will be fitted with 2K display

oppo-find-7 Oppo has never been one to cower behind the announcement date and their PR department seems to do an excellent job at balancing teasing and not revealing a whole lot about the device before the official release.

So far we know the Find 7 is coming and now Oppo has teased the smartphone will arrive with a whopping 2K display, acing the current 1080p trend and doubling the amount of resolution to 2560 x 1600.

The 2K display movement has started already and both Sony and Samsung are developing higher-resolution screens for early 2014. We may see the 2K screens at CES 2014 in January, before the launch of smartphones to accompany the screens at MWC in Barcelona the month after.

Apart from the display specs, the Oppo Find 7 looks to take all the best on the market right now and implement it onto the smartphone. The full spec sheet has not been leaked or released yet, but we can hazard a guess through some rumors and possibilities what will come on the Find 7.

We can expect either the Snapdragon 805 SoC or the octa-core MediaTek processor, 3GB of RAM and Oppo will either add a 13MP or 16MP low-light camera, a huge battery, LTE, NFC, dual-band WiFi a/g/b/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0.

On the software side, we are curious to see if the CyanogenMod sticks to Oppo’s line of smartphones or if the Find 7 will only run Oppo’s Color OS. Choice is always better and when Color OS isn’t exactly one of our favorite skins CyanogenMod is a great option.

We would love to see this at MWC 2014, but the fact that Oppo is still a fairly unknown brand outside China will make it hard to market, especially against industry titans like Samsung and LG.
