Microsoft Lumia 1330 will feature mid-range specs, but 14 MP PureView camera
The Nokia Lumia 1320 “phablet” smartphone offers a large display at a reasonable price, but beyond that, the device doesn’t have anything else that could make it stand out from the crowd. Its successor however, is expected to improve upon the old formula while also adding a really nice feature to the mix. The tentatively named Microsoft Lumia 1330 recently visited the GFX Benchmark and we were able to find out a great deal of new details thanks to this. First off, the device will be similar to its predecessor in the sense that it comes equipped with mid-range specs, for the most part. However, there have been a few improvements this time around, with the most noticeable one being that the Microsoft Lumia 1330 is sporting a 14 MP PureView primary camera.
Complementing this impressive camera is yet another “selfie” shooter on the front, this time with a 5 MP sensor. The benchmark test also reveals that the handset will feature a 5.7-inch display with 720 x 1280 resolution, which is actually a bit smaller than the one offered by the Nokia Lumia 1320. But while the Microsoft Lumia 1330 will come equipped with a smaller screen, the rest of its specs have definitely not received any downgrades. Specifically, the upcoming phablet will sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage memory, and an Adreno 305 GPU. The Microsoft Lumia 1330 will run on the Windows Phone 8.1 GDR2 operating system.
Microsoft haven’t announced a release date for the device just yet, but the big unveiling is expected to be made next March at the MWC 2015, which takes place in Barcelona. The Microsoft Lumia 1330 might come in different variants, although there are very few details regarding this aspect. The model that payed a visit to the GFX Benchmark and the FCC a bit earlier this year has the model number RM-1062. Other variants of the Microsoft Lumia 1330 include RM-1063, RM-1064, RM-1065, RM-1066 and RM-1067.
A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?
Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:
- We updated system software security
- We improved system software stability and performance
- Some screens now have better messages and usability
That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.
Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?
We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.
