AetherSX2 PS2 Emulator now available at the Google Play Store!

0

A brand new emulator has come on the Google Play Store and it’s the AetherSX2! Unlike the DamonPS2 emulator, the AetherSX2 is stable and performs way better compared to the former and it’s compatible to more devices not just the flagship ones.

The app is recommended to run on at least a Snapdragon 845-equivalent device while Mali or PowerVR GPUs will be able to run the app but at a slower performance compared to Adreno GPUs.

To run AetherSX2, you’ll need to have a BIOS with you that you can get from your PS2 and of course, the image of the PS2 games that you want to play. You won’t be able to run anything on the PS2 emulator without the two.

If you want to download the app, the app is free at the Google Play Store however, it is still on early access. Download it here: AetherSX2 – Apps on Google Play

Here’s a demo Taki Udon running AetherSX2 Alpha on different devices:

TECNO reveals 3 global leading mobile camera technologies to launch in 2022

0

TECNO has disclosed its highly-anticipated camera technologies, which they expect to buzz the smartphone market in 2022.

At a webinar entitled “Global Mobile Camera Trends 2022: Innovation Talk,” TECNO shared its recent breakthrough as they announced its newest technologies: RGBW/G+P, Sensor Shift, and Telescopic lens.

RGBW/G+P

TECNO teased that its upcoming smartphones will sport cameras that have a self-powered RGBW sub-pixel rendering algorithm. This technology increases the light captured by the CMOS sensor by a whopping 60%.

In addition, TECNO claimed that their new technology could enhance light intake by 30% through the G+P (glass + plastic) lens technology. As a result, upcoming smartphones will offer an overall 200% significant progress in light sensitivity.

SENSOR SHIFT

Meanwhile, its new Sensor Shift technology is an image stabilization technology that uses sensor movements instead of lens movements. Through this, TECNO phones can offer control accuracy of up to 350%, allowing users to take studio-quality photos with more stability.

You can watch this video for more information.

TELESCOPIC LENS

On the other hand, the upcoming telescopic lens brings the advantage of large aperture and continuous lossless zoom to future TECNO devices. This will ensure better quality for profile and telephotograph. Moreover, it provides enhanced multi-purpose functionality too.

Moreover, it comes with a compressed back focal length design with motorized stretchable lenses, reducing the thickness of smartphones.

TECNO noted that its telescopic lens will become official in Q1 2022.
