After Apple spilled the beans in its iPad video, the developer DaVinci Resolve has detailed the feature set for the release expected before the end of the year.
The forthcoming release of DaVinci Resolve for iPad was first revealed by Apple in its introduction to the new iPad Pro models. Now details of the app’s features and pricing have been announced, alongside the news that it will launch before the end of the year.
“DaVinci Resolve for iPad is truly a revolution for post production,” Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO, said in a statement. “Customers will have the power of Hollywood post production tools for editing and color correction literally in their hands, creating a whole new generation of creative editors and colorists.”
On the Mac, Windows, and Linux, DaVinci Resolve is a video editing suite that competes with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. Its main app is free, with certain limitations that tend to concern only the most high-end video production professionals.
Those professionals are served by a separate app called DaVinci Resolve Studio, which adds advanced HDR grading, more audio plugins and video filters, and so on. Blackmagic Design says this same model will apply to the iPad.
On release, DaVinci Resolve for iPad will be a complete video editing app that is free, but comes with an optional in-app purchase for an upgrade to a separate DaVinci Resolve Studio for iPad.
Blackmagic Design has not revealed a price for the in-app purchase to upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio for iPad. Its existing desktop equivalent costs $295.
The app is to be available for all iPads, but it is optimized for the M2-based iPad Pro. Blackmagic Design says the app requires iPadOS 16, and its features include:

  • Color pages and the app’s cut page optimized for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro display.
  • Supports HDR display on 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the M1 chip
  • Up to 4x Ultra HD ProRes render performance improvement with the M2 chip
  • Compatible with DaVinci Resolve 18 project files
  • Supports multi-user collaboration via Blackmagic Cloud
  • Supports H.264, H.265, ProRes and Blackmagic RAW media files
  • Supports clips from iPad storage, Photos library and iCloud
  • Import clips from external USB-C disks
  • Works with Apple Pencil, Magic Trackpad, Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio

It’s not clear what features come free, and which are premium.
“Compatibility with DaVinci Resolve 18 [for Mac] and Blackmagic Cloud, mean that customers can collaborate on the same timeline with other editors or colorists as well as audio engineers and VFX artists from literally anywhere in the world,” continued Petty. “I think it will be exciting to try out the new iPad version and I can’t wait to see how our customers use it, their creativity will be mind blowing.”

If DaVinci Resolve for iPad contains all of the functionality of its desktop version, it will be the first high-profile video editing app to come to the iPad complete. Adobe has previously released a cut down version of its video editor as Adobe Premiere Rush, and Apple has its entry-level iMovie already installed.
There is no Final Cut Pro for iPad. Industry professionals are reportedly pressing Apple to be more proactive with the development of its video editor.

Premium smartphone demand in smaller cities up 40% in Jan-July: Flipkart

Demand for 5G-enabled premium smartphones in India’s smaller cities increased 40 per cent from January to July this year, according to Flipkart.

Tier-two cities such as Guntur, Hisar, Moradabad, and Shahjahanpur showed a strong preference for premium smartphones, according to insights from the e-commerce firm. Overall demand for such phones increased 25 per cent in the same period.

Flipkart recorded a growth of more than 60 per cent in new smartphone launches by premium brands like Apple, Samsung, Google Pixel, OPPO and Nothing, coinciding with telecom companies preparing to roll out 5G service and the festival season.

“As one of the fastest growing markets for smartphones in the world, we are witnessing increasing traction for premium smartphones across the country with tier 2 and beyond cities taking a lead in the demand,” said Kunal Gupta, Senior Director, Mobiles at Flipkart.

“This is an indication of the evolution of the smartphone market where owning premium smartphones have gone beyond the aspirational need for customers across geographies and have become an important part of their daily lives,” added Gupta.

According to research firm Counterpoint, India’s smartphone user base crossed the 600 million mark during April-June quarter with the share of 5G smartphones reaching 29 per cent of overall shipments in Q2 2022, which is the highest it has ever been.

Product exchange options for premium smartphones grew by over 50 per cent from January to July 2022 compared to the same period last year, indicating a strong preference for the purchase of premium smartphones through exchange deals, said Flipkart.

Nothing Phone 1 launch materialises with Notify Me page, targets OnePlus market


The launch of Nothing’s Phone 1 materialises as the ‘Notify Me’ page goes live on Flipkart. Announced in March 2022, Nothing Phone 1 will be launched via the e-commerce portal Flipkart and probably through the company’s website. The Nothing Phone 1 will be the first smartphone by the UK-based tech start up. Most likely, the smartphone will be revealed in June 2022 itself.

The Nothing Phone 1 will come with Snapdragon processor and Nothing OS, company’s own operating system. 
The Nothing’s association with Flipkart could be exclusive but we do not know yet. Carl Pei, the CEO and Co-founder of Nothing, is widely aware of the OnePlus-Amazon tie up. So in order to create a different ecosystem, the former OnePlus’s co-founder could have opted for Flipkart which is the largest e-commerce portal in India currently.

Nothing Phone 1 may be worked around the previous generations of OnePlus smartphones that were minimalistic in design and user interface. Nothing Phone 1 would also aim to offer the clutter-free smartphone experience.
Nothing Phone 1 might aim to get into the OnePlus’s stronghold, the premium segment. The phone might see the newly announced Qualcomm chipset, Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 with up to 12GB RAM. The Nothing Phone 1 is expected to run on Android 12 out of the box on top of its own OS, Nothing. 
The smartphone may ship with triple rear cameras and a single selfie lens. Nothing Phone 1 could see the Sony IMX sensors, both in rear and selfie lens. The battery is expected to range between 4,200mAh to 4,500mAh with a charger inside the box.

The Nothing Phone 1 display is likely to be around 6.7 inch AMOLED display supported by the 120Hz refresh rate. The phone might be a hit among the urban areas and the internet savvy buyers who are looking for a fresh option the premium to the mid-segment. Nothing Phone 1 will have to sweat it out to dethrone OnePlus’s online presence and Samsung’s offline reach.
