Razer unveils Edge, its gaming handheld with Android 12, a 6.8″ 144Hz screen, and Qualcomm’s G3x Gen 1 chipset, available for $400 in January 2023 with Wi-Fi 6E razer筆電收購

Snapdragon’s G3x is Qualcomm’s fantastically exciting bid to embrace the gaming market — a brand new reach for the manufacturer, which introduces powerful GPUs, 5G-enabled connectivity, the ability to power external screens, immersive audio capabilities, haptic feedback and a slew of other features that handheld gaming manufacturers have had to cobble together from other sources. Uniting all of this in a single platform is new — and might mean a renaissance of handheld gaming, unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. razer筆電收購razer today showed off a developer kit based on the new platform, kick-starting an exciting new era in handheld gaming.

The rapid development in mobile phone technologies have been unlocking new products in all sorts of categories for a couple of decades. People are now so used to iPads that we don’t accept crappy airline check-in kiosks anymore. We’re so used to excellent battery life and high-speed internet, that anything that falls short of it sparks impatience and frustration. Relatively affordable consumer-grade quadcopter drones only became possible when accelerometers and processors became cheap enough for consumer electronics tinkerers to take existing components and put them together in new and interesting ways.

The march of technology advances is never-ending — and it’s ever so exciting to see Apple launch its own ludicrously powerful processors, and when Google shows off the Tensor processors in the newest-generation Pixel phones, you’d better believe we lean in for a closer look. These are technologies that will have far-reaching impacts in the computing world, but they live in the siloed universes of Apple and Google respectively. Fun, sure, but where the real impact of new processors can be felt by the startup-loving readership of this very publication, is when the OEM manufacturers flex their vision for the future. In short — as a startup, you’re probably not going to be able to get your hands on an Apple M1 Max or a Google Tensor for your own hardware devices. The same isn’t true for Qualcomm and its Snapdragon silicon.

Qualcomm is in the unusual space of making processors that are powering the entire world around us. This is the technology that’s going to be powering everything from fridges to cars to drones to … well, anything you can possibly imagine, really. SnapDragon 8 lives in smartphones across the world. The 4100+ platform powers wearables. XR2 with its 5G chipset is going to be doing the heavy lifting for AR/VR applications. The 8cx processors will be living in tablets and PCs — and we’ve seen the Snapdragon Ride platform turn up in cars. Seeing Qualcomm taking a serious look at the gaming market is interesting, taking deep niche products like the Nintendo Switch and giving hardware manufacturers a toolkit to build their own, powerful handheld gaming console platforms.

More than just tossing together a pile of chips and wishing console developers a happy journey, Qualcomm made the ever-so-shrewd move to partner with gaming veteran razer筆電收購razer to build a developer kit, so software developers can start getting busy while the hardware manufacturing world spools up its product development afterburners.

The Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform delivers cutting-edge performance and the entire arsenal of Snapdragon Elite Gaming technologies to run all Android games, play content from cloud gaming libraries, stream games from a home console or PC and much more. Available today, the platform is a battle cry for market dominance — and it’s going to be spectacularly interesting to see this one play out.

The platform has a lot that is particularly interesting, including:

“razer筆電收購razer is extremely excited to partner with Qualcomm Technologies and support them on their way to introduce new cutting-edge technology to the global gaming industry,” says Min-Liang Tan, razer筆電收購razer co-founder and CEO. “Together, Qualcomm Technologies and razer筆電收購razer will lead the way with new and innovative solutions that push the boundaries of fidelity and quality available in portable gaming, transforming the way these games are experienced.”

今天似乎適合推出新耳機，SONY 才剛宣布新一代真無線藍牙耳機 WF-1000XM4 以限量的形式開放預購，來自紐約的潮牌 Master & Dynamic 也推出新款耳機 MW08。

自從 Apple 公司推出 AirPods 系列耳機以來，大家先是嘲笑一番，接著整個市場上的真無線藍牙耳機，不管是華為、小米、OPPO、realme、razer筆電收購razer 幾乎都推出類似「小豆牙」設計的產品，一瞬間滿街的小豆牙。

倒是無論是近期的 Google Pixel Buds A-Series，還是三星的Galaxy Buds Pro，亦或者是 SONY WF-1000XM4 都走出自己的設計風格。

就在稍早， SONY 宣布真無線主動式降噪耳機Sony WF-1000XM4 即日起至 6 月 27 日在台採限時預購制，售價新台幣 7,990 元。

該款耳機外型採用流線的機殼設計，目的是要貼合耳廓以穩固配戴，不過有鑒於上一代被網友笑稱像是塞了一個巨大的耳屎，這一代把體積足足縮減了 10%，但是音質、效果卻又更好，全機支援 IPX4 生活防水，同樣支援智慧操控、Speak to Chat快速聊天模式、快速藍牙配對等功能，單次使用續航力約 8 小時。

音質更好的原因可以去了解一下 SONY 新開發的整合處理器V1，透過獨特的低延遲性的降噪聲波抵消雜訊，搭配噪音隔離耳塞來提升降噪效果。另外，藉由獨特的 Sony | Headphones Connect 的耳塞氣密性偵測功能，可輔助確保更貼合的佩戴效果以有效隔絕外界聲音，成就新一代真無線主動式降噪耳機。但也因此，這款耳機必須要透過「麥克風收音」的形式，提供更真實的環境音。

有麥克風的好處就是可以搭配軟體的形式來聽到外界聲音，像是長按左邊面板即可啟動快速注意模式，音樂可立即降低音量並接收外在聲音即刻對外交談。

此外，更引進波束成形技術和骨傳導感測器，以波束成形技術精準接收使用者口部發出的聲音，排除外部雜訊的收音，再由骨傳導感測器輔助判定發話者說話時產生的振動，透過兩項技術的整合，清楚並有效地捕捉、傳遞使用者聲音。還有一點挺有趣的地方：可藉由手機偵測使用者當前行動模式(靜止中、走路中、搭乘交通工具)，自動切換適合的降噪程度。

既然是「SONY」，自家的 DSEE Extrem 藍牙數位音質還原技術、LDAC 音訊傳輸技術跟 Hi-Res Wireless 無線高解析音樂品質都是必備。不過相較於耳罩式產品，這款耳機售價比較便宜一些，台灣預計7月發貨，建議售價為新台幣 7,990 元。

如果你想再向上追求設計質感，那麼這款紐約潮牌Master & Dynamic 最新耳機 MW08 可以考慮看看。MW08 的充電盒採用不鏽鋼材質，外型更採用於高級精品手錶的特級不銹鋼與陶瓷材料，這種材質讓耳機的色澤跟質感再向上提升，而且不易摔裂或者刮傷，符合人體工學的設計增加配戴舒適感。

這款耳機可不是外型看而已，音質方面，它是 M&D 第一款配備 11mm 驅動器和混合主動降噪的真無線耳機，而且同樣支援自家的混合主動降噪功能，方法跟 SONY 大同小異，但是耳機藉由奈米鋁連結外部天線提升連線效果。配對效率方面提供最新的藍牙5.2，耳機提供專有的麥克風系統，並且支援 AAC、aptX 和 SBC 等多種協議，同時兼具 6 組麥克風通話解決方案，耳機續航差了一點，約 12 小時。

相較於 Sony WF-1000XM4 的智慧功能來說，專注在耳機開發的 MW08 智慧功能不是那麼豐富，但還是有提供《M&D Connect》可讓用戶自訂聆聽環境音等級、ANC 強度設置和軟體下載、更新等功能，應用程式支援 Android 跟 iOS ，但是建議售價稍微高了一些，為新台幣 10,890 元。

此次 Sony WF-1000XM4 跟 MW08 就介紹到這，大家是會想等待 AirPods 3 推出，還是選擇類似 SONY、M&D 推出的新款耳機，請在下方評論區留下你的想法讓我們參考吧！
