“Guided by its brand essence of ‘Stop At Nothing’, TECNO is committed to unlocking the best and newest technologies for forward-looking individuals from hardware and design innovations to the latest software developments. As such, we’re delighted to be continuing our long-term partnership with Google to bring Android 14 Beta to the newest CAMON 20 Series, which allows our users to be among the first to experience the pleasures of the new features on Android 14.” said Jack Guo, General Manager of TECNO.

The recently launched CAMON 20 series delivers a winning combination of high-performance photography, unique design elements and an outstanding user experience. Featuring 5000 times/second Sensor-Shift OIS Anti-Shaking Technology and a 50MP RGBW Ultra Sensitive Sensor, CAMON 20 Premier 5G is a master of both nighttime photography and steady portrait video. Meanwhile, TECNO’s MUSE Design Award-winning CAMON PUZZLE Deconstructionist Design sees the CAMON 20 series challenge the industry’s traditionally minimalist aesthetic, fusing three-dimensional ribbed Magic Skin and advanced ceramic material in an innovative back cover.

Delivering a host of upgrades for privacy, security, performance, and user customization, the Android 14 Beta will help to further enhance the CAMON 20 series’ user experience in ways such as –

  • Higher Privacy Level – Starting with Android 14, apps with a target Sdk Version lower than 23 cannot be installed, making it harder for malware to avoid such security and privacy improvements. Ultimately, it serves to help improve security and privacy for smartphone users.
  • Longer Battery Life- Android 14’s updated functionality enables the system to better handle the background tasks, downloads, and uploads, etc., which in turn improves the system efficiency to reduce power drain for longer battery life.
  • Larger Fonts and Smarter Scaling – To provide low-vision users with better accessibility options, Android 14 allows larger font scaling. A non-linear scaling curve strategy ensures large text and small text elements scale at different rates to prevent large elements from scaling too much, while also preserving the proportional hierarchy between elements of different sizes.

Wait… What? Oscar-winning filmmakers are using this portable projector from JMGO???

Leave a comment

The projector showcases JMGO’s relentless pursuit of cinematic picture quality and the commitment to upgrading the viewing experience for global users.

SHENZHEN, China, May 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — JMGO N1 Ultra Triple Color Laser Gimbal Projector has secured US$2.24 million on Kickstarter from over 1,700 backers worldwide. The pioneering triple laser-powered projector has become a reliable choice for professionals including Academy Awards-winning filmmakers Adam Leipzig, Edd Lukas, and Rachel Morrison, who appreciate its vivid, accurate color representation, exceptional portability, and plug-and-play features.

JMGO N1 Ultra wins over Oscar-winning filmmakers
JMGO N1 Ultra wins over Oscar-winning filmmakers

The N1 Ultra has been well-received by global media and consumers since its debut in March.  Now the successful journey is joined by Academy Awards-winning filmmakers Adam Leipzig, Edd Lukas, and Rachel Morrison as serious users who are enjoying the “whole cinema experience in a carrying case” provided by the N1 Ultra. The addition of Academy Awards-winning filmmakers as users who are more sensitive about visual performances and image qualities undoubtedly is another recognition of N1 Ultra’s picture quality.

Will Wang, Chief Product Officer of JMGO, said, “We are thrilled to see the color representation of the N1 Ultra recognized by Oscar-winning producers and cinematographers. As an industry leader and a user-oriented company, we will continue to push the limits of optical technology to refine the picture quality of laser projectors and bring the cinematic experience to more global users.”

A Projector Recognized by Filmmakers
Filmmakers need precise color representation, clarity, and contrast in their professional monitors to ensure the productivity of their work. Now, the cinematic picture quality allows the N1 Ultra to become a new, reliable choice for them to capture every detail of the scene. The projector covers an ultra-wide color gamut of 110% BT.2020, which is equivalent to 155% DCI-P3, a widely adopted color standard for the film industry. It even offers a full suite of color calibration options, allowing users to achieve the best possible color accuracy based on their needs.

The N1 Ultra projects a shining bright image. Together with the integrated gimbal design, its application scenario is no longer confined by time and space. It can be a productivity tool for filmmakers like Adam Leipzig and Edd Lukas who need a handy, high-resolution monitor with accurate colors at work. For Rachel Morrison, it can also be a portable, 150-inch screen to enjoy movie nights while camping.

A Portable Cinema Powered by Proprietary Technology
Powering the cinematic performance of the N1 Ultra is JMGO’s proprietary optical technology, the MALC (Microstructure Adaptive Laser Control) Triple Color Laser Optics. JMGO’s engineers spent two years developing and perfecting this cutting-edge technology, which integrates into a compact, long-throw projector with a gimbal design. The in-house developed laser engine allows the N1 Ultra to deliver exceptional color representation, contrast, brightness uniformity, and speckle reduction, making it a “performance beast” according to Projector Reviews.

The gimbal design is a unique feature of the N1 Ultra, which turns it into a truly portable cinema. With the Ultra-Thin 2-Axis Gimbal System, the N1 Ultra can pan 360° horizontally and tilt 135° vertically, remaining stable at any given angle. The Instant Gimbal-like Display Correction further simplifies the setup process, as users only need to point the lens to the projection surface and let the smart calibration software automatically calibrate the image within seconds.

A Pioneer of Smart Projectors
JMGO has been dedicated to the innovation of projection technology since 2012 and established itself as a pioneer of smart projectors, bringing exceptional audio-visual experiences to millions of users in China. In 2021, JMGO expanded its business to the global market, and the N1 Ultra is its latest offering. The launch of the triple color laser projector has been a huge success since day one, raising US$2.24 million from 1,706 backers on Kickstarter in just 45 days. The projector has also become the best seller on both Rakuten Japan and Yahoo Japan following its regional launch on April 6th at Tsutaya Books Daikan-yama.

JMGO will continue to strive for technological innovation to bring cinematic experiences to more global consumers. The highly anticipated projector will be available on Amazon US and Japan, as well as the JMGO official website in mid-May 2023, at the MSRP of $2,299.

Whereas, the HALOT-MAGE PRO excels with a 170mm/h thrilling speed, an innovative resin pump, and the Integral Light Source 3.0.

JMGO Achieves $2.24 Million Kickstarter Goal with Its N1 Ultra 4K Triple Color Laser Gimbal Projector

Leave a comment

Achieving more than 100 times the stretch goal, the N1 Ultra has proven to be widely recognized for its premium audio-visual performance and ultimate level of flexibility.

SHENZHEN, China, April 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, JMGO, a pioneer of smart projectors, has completed its 45-day crowdfunding project on Kickstarter, successfully raising US$ 2.24 million and achieving 112 times the stretch goal. Within the first 24 hours, the project had managed to raise US$ 1.16 million from 994 supportive backers, and it only took 25 days to hit the milestone of US$ 2 million. As of April 23rd, 1706 backers are eagerly awaiting the immersive audio-visual experience that this versatile and portable projector will provide.

JMGO N1 Ultra Triple Color Laser Gimbal Projector
JMGO N1 Ultra Triple Color Laser Gimbal Projector

Since its debut, the N1 Ultra has been well received by the industry and media for its outstanding picture quality and ingenious gimbal design. The projector was subsequently recognized as the “Best Projectors 2023” by Trusted Reviews and recommended by top-tier technology publications such as Android Central and MakeUseOf among other accolades from top-tier technology publications. The N1 Ultra has been lauded as a “performance beast” by Projector Reviews for its excellent color reproduction, deep blacks, impressive shadow detail, and excellent color accuracy after calibration.

“With the enthusiastic support of our backers, we are delighted to demonstrate the positive momentum in our commercial success, which is driven by our consumer-centric innovation,” said Will Wang, Chief Product Officer of JMGO. “The success of the Kickstarter campaign undoubtedly is a confidence booster and has enabled us to further the mission of transforming user experience through constant innovation in optical technology.”

Proprietary Technology-Powered Visuals

The N1 Ultra projects a shining bright image at 4,000 ANSI Lumens and 4K UHD resolution, making cinematic experience possible even during daytime. Behind the stunning image is the MALC Triple Color Laser Optics – a proprietary technology developed by JMGO to take the picture quality of laser projectors to the next level. The MALC Laser Engine taps the Modularized Laser Stacking Technology to achieve better optical efficiency and heat dissipation while keeping the projector at a compact size. Unevenly distributed brightness and laser speckles are challenges facing laser projectors. Equipped with the Quad Layered Diffuser System, the N1 Ultra is capable of delivering a brightness uniformity of over 95%. Users will not be troubled by the irritating speckles caused by the laser engine, as the Dynamic Light Speckle Reducer Technology (LSR) is already in place to effectively reduce laser speckles by more than 96%.

As a triple color laser projector, the N1 Ultra provides users with true-to-life images with accurate and natural colors. It covers 110% BT.2020 color gamut with color accuracy at △E<1, which far surpasses LED and single laser projectors in the market. A contrast ratio of 1,600:1 plus HDR 10 presents users with clear details in both highlights and deep blacks. JMGO also takes into consideration the needs of A/V enthusiasts and incorporates Color Manage System (CMS) into the N1 Ultra to allow them to calibrate the image to their preference by adjusting parameters such as gamma, white balance, and color space.

To complement the visuals, the N1 Ultra boasts a powerful sound system co-created with Dynaudio, a leading Danish loudspeaker brand. The sound system, which is certified by Dolby Audio and DTS, packs two 10-watt speakers featuring 45Hz extreme low-frequency bass. In short, the N1 Ultra offers an all-in-one home theater solution so that users no longer have to rely on external speakers.

Panning and Tilting like a Gimbal

In addition to the MALC Triple Color Laser Optics, another feature that excites Kickstarter backers is the integrated gimbal design, which makes setting up the projector a breeze. The Ultra-Thin 2-Axis Gimbal System enables the N1 Ultra to rotate up to 135° vertically and 360° horizontally and remain stable at any given angle. As the projection angle changes, the Instant Gimbal-like Display Correction simultaneously performs keystone correction and focus adjustment to have the image calibrated instantly, bringing users a truly plug-and-play experience.

Home Entertainment Extended

The N1 Ultra comes with an integrated Android TV 11 operating system, offering over 5,000 Apps via Google Play for users to explore. For home theater enthusiasts who seek to upgrade their viewing experience, the N1 Ultra offers two HDMI 2.1 ports (one supports eARC), one USB-A 2.0 port, and one 3.5mm headphone jack to enable extensive connections with external devices such as streaming sticks, Blu-ray media players, gaming consoles, and dedicated sound systems.

Pricing and Availability

The highly anticipated projector is now closer to becoming available to customers worldwide with the first batch of shipment taking place in May, 2023. The N1 Ultra will soon be launched on Amazon US and Japan, and the JMGO official website in mid-May, 2023 at the MSRP of $2,299.

At the core of the brand’s environmental scheme there’s a key technology. The Re/CASETiFY material. This material is made out of pellets obtained from the upcycling of old phone cases that have been donated to the brand by users from all over the world with the incentive of store credit. These pellets are then used to create new CASETiFY phone cases.

CASETiFY CEO & Co-Founder, Wes Ng, comments: “people don’t just buy sustainable products. They buy great products. And nowadays, for a product to be great, it needs to be manufactured as environmentally friendly as possible. That’s why we put Re/CASETiFY at the core of our business”.

By the end of 2022, the program achieved the following milestones since its inception:

  • 430,000 user-donated phone and airpods cases diverted from landfills, which is the equivalent t 40,000kg of plastic that was used for upcycling purposes.
  • Through our partnership with EARTHDAY.ORG, CASETiFY planted over 394,000 trees in partnership with different organizations; enough to offset 19 million pounds of carbon each year. This is equivalent to keeping 250 cars off American roads for a full 12 months.

Beyond releasing its latest results, the brand has also released its intentions for the next year:

  • Further develop a climate and emissions reduction roadmap that considers more than plastic waste.
  • Increase the adoption of more responsible raw materials across the CASETiFY product portfolio

Omdia: Global display fabs capacity utilization recover to 74% in 2Q23 while OLED fabs are under 60% average

Leave a comment

LONDON, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — New research from Omdia’s Display Production & Inventory Tracker reveals that total display fab capacity utilization is recovering from 66% in 1Q23 to 74% in 2Q23 thanks to surging orders of LCD TVs, notebooks, monitor panels and smart phone LCD panels. However, OLED fabs are still facing challenges to raise capacity utilization with average OLED fabs capacity utilization expected to be under 60% in the first six months of 2023.

Fab utilization rate by major application
Fab utilization rate by major application

2022’s over -supply has devastated LCD and OLED fabs capacity utilization. After low utilization in 1Q23, LCD fabs are gradually picking up the glass substrate input from 2Q23. LCD makers, especially in China, are gradually and cautiously raising their capacity utilization following disciplined capacity control to sustain panel prices.

In 2Q23, even with increasing orders and some rush demand surge, most LCD makers are setting up a roof of 80% capacity utilization rate. 

David Hsieh, Senior Director in Omdia’s Display research practice said: “OLED fabs are in lower capacity utilization than the mature, smoother running LCD fabs. Parameters for these include TFT array backplane throughput, OLED evaporation takt time, complex product switch, touch sensor patterning lead time, and the customization of OLED module form factor.”

On these parameters, the so-called full capacity utilization of LCD fabs can be viewed as 100% loading, but for OLED, 80%-90% on the total designed capacity can be viewed as full loading.

“The issue for OLED now is slow demand, rather than these process parameters,” added Hsieh.

Omdia forecasts that demand for smartphone OLED will not fully recover through 1H23 while OLED TV fabs will face slow market demand. OLED TV panel orders from LGE, Sony, Panasonic, TPV, Hisense, Samsung are not sufficient for the Gen8.5 OLED fabs to sustain a high-capacity utilization rate, and some China flexible Gen6 OLED fabs are suffering from unstable orders and a struggling throughput situation.

“While the recovery of LCD is receiving prominence and will obviously help uphold LCD prices and capacity utilization simultaneously, OLED will need to wait for further high-end consumer electronics demand recovery,” concludes Hsieh.
