Vivo “The Waterdrop” Smartphone Leaks Revealed Unusual Design

Thanks to the famous leaker that goes by the name of Ice Universe on Twitter, we could see the new Vivo “The Waterdrop” smartphone leaks. The peculiarity of this mobile phone would be its unusual design.

As we can see in the images leaked by Ice Universe on his Twitter page (which you can enjoy at the beginning of the article), the future Vivo “The Waterdrop” smartphone would boast a rounded display with almost no bezels.

“Crazy phone has begun to leak, it is said that this is new Vivo, a mysterious smartphone code-named ‘The Waterdrop,’ this phone will subvert people’s past perception of smartphones, this is the back of the phone design, play your imagination. Coming soon,” said Ice Universe on Twitter.

However, Ice Universe did not reveal other details about the Vivo “The Waterdrop” smartphone, so we’re now kinda curious about what this device has to offer.

Vivo “The Waterdrop” Smartphone Leaks Revealed Unusual Design

This new Vivo “The Waterdrop” smartphone might be the sequel (or the combination) of two new phone models Vivo revealed recently. More specifically, in 2018, Vivo presented its new Apex FullView Prototype as a smartphone with very thin bezels and a pop-out selfies camera. Also, more recently, Vivo launched its Nex Dual Display Edition model which boasts displays on both sides.

The Nex Dual Display Edition model’s rear screen comes with large bezels, while the front-facing display comes with very thin bezels. As for the Vivo “The Waterdrop” smartphone leaks, they could suggest that this future device might also come with two screens and a curved design.

However, we don’t think it would boast a pop-up selfies camera since the codename, “The Waterdrop,” might indicate to a punch-hole camera. On the other hand, the Vivo “The Waterdrop” smartphone might boast two displays with very thin bezels, which would be very exciting to see.

iOS 11 Electra Jailbreak Received Sileo as An Alternative to Cydia

Sileo, which has been developed by devs such as Coolstar, Nullpixel, AppleBetas, and others, got released for iOS 11 Electra jailbreak as an alternative to Cydia. Sileo rolled out in late-December in its Beta version on Electra’s Repo. However, once the final Sileo version launches, it would become available on its own repo which is currently under development.

At the moment, the beta version of Sileo only works with the latest Electra variant. Thus, Unc0ver jailbreak is not supported for the time being, even though some users reported that Sileo works for them. As mentioned, every iPhone and iPad user using iOS 11 Electra jailbreak can download Sileo from official Electra’s Repo.

“Currently, Dynastic Repo is the only repo that supports payments, with CharizTeam adding support very soon. Cydia Store purchases support downloads only. Sileo will be distributed on a new repo with the initial release. We hope you love the Sileo preview as much as us,” said Sileo team on Twitter.

iOS 11 Electra Jailbreak Received Sileo as An Alternative to Cydia

As for the Sileo beta for iOS 11 Electra jailbreak, the devs behind Silo added more details on Twitter. According to them, “This [Sileo version] is a beta preview. Some functionality is not finalized, and bugs are to be expected. For now, the preview only supports the latest version of Electra. The source code will be published at a later date.”

Even though the Sileo team announced users that the beta version is full of bugs, some users turned to Reddit to complain about the package manager crashing while installing/uninstalling tweaks and other issues. So, in case you want to keep a stable iOS 11 Electra jailbreak, you should avoid downloading Sileo as an alternative to Cydia.

If the devs update Sileo quick enough and release a stable version of it, then, indeed, Sileo might replace Cydia on jailbroken iOS devices. Until them, you can test the Sileo beta version at your own risks.

Nintendo Is Ready To Stop Video Games Consoles Manufacturing If The Market Changes

For more than 30 years, Nintendo has been involved in the video consoles industry. Now, the company’s president Shuntaro Furukawa stated that Nintendo is ready to stop video consoles manufacturing if the market changes. That information comes as a shocker for many fans, but, before starting to worry much about it, you should know that Nintendo is not planning to ditch the production of consoles anytime soon.

“At the moment we’re offering the uniquely developed Nintendo Switch and its software – and that’s what we’re basing how we deliver the ‘Nintendo experience’ on. That being said, technology changes. We’ll continue to think flexibly about how to deliver that experience as time goes on,” said Shuntaro Furukawa during an interview with Nikkei. “We aren’t really fixated on our consoles,” he added.

Nintendo Switch, however, is a great success as it sold more than 23 million units in 2018 and predicted it would sell over 17 million in 2019. Thus, Nintendo is on the wave so that it won’t ditch video games consoles manufacturing anytime soon.

Nintendo Is Ready To Stop Video Games Consoles Manufacturing If The Market Changes

“It has been over 30 years since we started developing consoles. Nintendo’s history goes back even farther than that, and through all the struggles that they faced the only thing that they thought about was what to make next. In the long-term, perhaps our focus as a business could shift away from home consoles – flexibility is just as important as ingenuity,” Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo president, continued.

Founded in 1889 as a playing card company, Nintendo moved to the video games industry in the mid-1970s when it started developing games.

Now, Nintendo is one of the most successful companies in the industry, and, according to its president, Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo should focus more on smartphone gaming segment which is “continuous stream of revenue.” Furukawa hopes to turn that into an about one billion dollars industry for Nintendo.

New Nvidia Shield Tablet Is Not Rolling Out Anytime Soon

While the Shield TV, Nvidia’s Android TV streaming box, is frequently updated by the devs, the Nvidia Shield tablet, which launched in 2014, has not been revised since 2015 when the latest variant of the device came out. Thus, a new Nvidia Shield tablet is not rolling out anytime soon, according to some new reports based on the statements of the Nvidia CEO.

“Shield TV is still unquestionably the best Android TV in the world. We have updated the software now over 30 times. People are blown away by how much we continue to enhance it. And more (unspecified) enhancements are coming,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during the CES 2019.

“We are really committed to [Shield TV], but on mobile devices, we don’t think it’s necessary. We would only build things not to gain market share. Nvidia is not a ‘take somebody else’s market share company.’ I think that’s really angry. It’s an angry way to run a business. Creating new markets, expanding the horizon, creating things that the world doesn’t have, that’s a loving way to build a business,” Huang added.

New Nvidia Shield Tablet Is Not Rolling Out Anytime Soon

As reported by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, a new Nvidia Shield tablet is not going to come out anytime soon, as Nvidia is focusing on its Shield TV, the tech company’s Android TV streaming box.

However, Huang left an open door to a future tablet from Nvidia, but, as he said, that such a tablet would come only “if the world needs it. At the moment, I just don’t see it. I think Nintendo did such a great job.”

In other news, Jensen Huang also debated the new AMD Radeon VII. “Underwhelming, huh? I was kind of like saying ‘what?’ Because the performance is lousy and there’s nothing new. There’s no raytracing, no artificial intelligence. It’s a 7nm chip with HBM memory that barely keeps up with a 2080, and when we turn on DLSS, we’ll crush it. When we turn on raytracing, we’ll crush it. And it’s not even available yet,” Huang said.
