Stay updated as we await its official release and prepare to experience the future of smartphones.
Apple has been at the vanguard of the rapidly changing smartphone…
The convenience of Bluetooth streaming is great but it is constrained by how much data it can pump through its signal. Though portable music players are preferably used with wired headphones for maximal performance, wired cans have seemingly enjoyed a recent renaissance too.
Smartphones are great for convenience but they’re not necessarily great for sound. As they’re multi-taskers, able to perform a range of functions, that also means they are a product that’s a jack of all trades but master of a few. Support for higher quality music has become better in the portable space with what Qualcomm is doing with its Snapdragon Sound platform and Sony’s innovations with LDAC, but in terms of outright quality for music, you won’t find better than a portable player.
Sony’s announcement of a new and not too expensive Walkman is a sign that portable music players still have a function and a purpose, as well as reminding some they still exist. Most would assume that portable music players have (or are) going the way of the Dodo, slowly passing their way out of relevance. However, we’re still seeing specialists such as Astell & Kern launch new players every year, and just recently FiiO announced the M11S. While Apple killed off the iPod, the rest of the portable player market isn’t interested in joining the scrap heap just yet.
The NW-A306 has a battery life of up to 36 hours of continuous playback, a 3.6-inch display, and because it runs on Android, you can install your favorite streaming apps if you must, although that defeats the point of having all your music with you. You'll still need a computer to load your music onto the device, just like with the iPhone's Music app, but that somehow seems less annoying with a walkman than with a phone. It also has audiophile-level playback at up to 96KHz (more than double the sample rate of a CD), although that's probably not a difference you can hear.
But it's not all upside. For a start, you'll have to carry two devices if you still want to carry your phone. And it's possible that you kind of let your music library slip when streaming came along. I bought a used iPod a while back, and when I loaded up all my songs, there was no music from the last half-decade or so because I'd been streaming it all.
The convenience of Bluetooth streaming is great but it is constrained by how much data it can pump through its signal. Though portable music players are preferably used with wired headphones for maximal performance, wired cans have seemingly enjoyed a recent renaissance too.
In a wider sense, of this seems to have converged around a greater want for higher quality music on the go. We have for decades limited ourselves in this area as MP3 streaming and downloads were a step in the wrong direction, one that’s taken a long time to reverse. In people’s minds, the quality of what they’re listening doesn’t matter as much as having access to it. We have access to more music than we can fathom at the moment, the area that we need to beef up is the quality we listen at.
From DACs to headphone amplifiers and higher quality streaming services such as Tidal and Qobuz (we still wait for Spotify Hi-Fi to make its entrance), the issue of ‘quality’ is one of the frontiers that the music and audio industry is pushing towards. All these devices have the potential to make music sound better, so while my smartphone will still be my device of choice given how much it (rightly or wrongly) rules my day-to-day activities, when it comes to listening to music in its highest quality, I’ll be tuning in with my portable player to get the best experience possible.
On My View Point...
You may think that, there’s only a need of an audio enhancing software or a high end headphones. But on all every aspects, from nostalgic design, high end specs possible and even quality - Sony have managed to make it all happen in a capsule. And that’s it. For music lovers, this will be dream gadget for sure and so happy to see this upgrade on this formfactor which was really unexpected. And looking forward to have a glance of one of these in real. And that’s been it - Edwin K Jayesh

SK Hynix's Billion-Dollar Bet: Dominating the AI Memory Chip Market
South Korean chip giant SK Hynix has invested over $1 billion in advanced chip packaging. This investment was to leverage the demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), an important component to develop artificial intelligence. Dr. Lee Kang-Wook, an expert in 3D semiconductors and former engineer at Samsung Electronics, is leading this endeavor.
This investment is driven by mass reflow-molded underfill (MR-MUF) technology. Additionally, through-silicon via (TSV) technology is making sure that the last phases of chip production are enhanced. Continue reading to find out everything there is to know about this transaction and the future of the industry.
The AI Market
The global AI industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 37.3% between 2023 and 2030 as of early 2024. This strong expansion highlights the role AI plays across a number of industries, leading businesses to take a calculated risk by entering the AI chip market.

SK Hynix is aware that packaging is essential to meeting AI's changing requirements. For semiconductor companies to remain competitive, it is believed that switching from front-end chip design to back-end packaging is essential. Dr. Lee highlights that the packaging industry will lead the way in the next fifty years, and that SK Hynix's recent launch of mass reflow-molded underfill (MR-MUF) is a testament to their dedication to this field's innovation.
The development of MR-MUF technology and the November 2022 release of ChatGPT marked a turning point for SK Hynix. With this packaging technique, which offers better heat dissipation and greater production yields, liquid material is injected between layers of silicon and hardened. For the material, SK Hynix worked with Namics Corp. in Japan, reaffirming its leadership in AI memory chip technology.
Strategic Partnerships and Market Recognition
Nvidia selected SK Hynix as a core supplier of HBM for its AI tools. This agreement pushed SK Hynix’s valuation to 119 trillion won (S$119.6 billion) and a 120% gain in stock value from the start of 2023.

Beating major industry heavyweights like Samsung and Micron Technology, SK Hynix has established itself as South Korea's second-most valued business. According to Dr. Lee, the majority of SK Hynix's $1 billion investment would go into developing TSV and MR-MUF technologies.
It is expected that these developments will be crucial in maintaining the company's leadership in the HBM industry by guaranteeing improved performance, lower power consumption, and increased efficiency. By strategically investing in line with this growing trend, SK Hynix is establishing itself as a major player in satisfying the growing need for cutting-edge AI memory solutions.
