The pixel density over the camera has doubled from 200ppi to 400ppi, which should make the display more consistent. The company also showed off in-display 3D Face Unlock technology to be used in various applications. ZTE surprised everyone when it became the first smartphone OEM to make in-display camera tech commercially available on a smartphone . Several OEMs have been working on this tech, but ZTE felt confident enough to release it to the masses so it must be good right?

Mars Perseverance’s parachute carried secret NASA message
The enormous orange and white parachute deployed by NASA's Perseverance rover to land on Mars contained a secret message, thanks to a puzzle lover on the spacecraft team. Systems engineer Ian Clark used a binary code to spell out "dare mighty things'' — a line from former US President Theodore Roosevelt — in the orange and white strips of the 70-foot (21-meter) parachute. He also included the GPS coordinates for the mission's headquarters at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. This combination of images from video made available by NASA shows steps in the descent of the Mars Perseverance rover as it approaches the surface of the planet Mars rover message encoding was 'super fun' Clark, a crossword hobbyist, came up with the idea two years ago. Engineers wanted an unusual pattern in the nylon fabric to know how the parachute was oriented during descent. Turning it into a secret message was "super fun," he said Tuesday. Only about six people knew … [Read more...] about Mars Perseverance’s parachute carried secret NASA message
