260W All-Round FastCharge

Infinix has developed a new 260W All-Round FastCharge technology that improves mobile phone fast-charging with breakthroughs in charging architecture, charger design, and the charging cable.

The charging architecture uses a 4-Pump Intelligent Circuit Design that intelligently identifies power requirements and allocates the number of charge pumps needed to work, and the upgraded 12C high rate 4400mAh battery with a multi-electrode lug structure, which ensure a high charging conversion efficiency of up to 98.5%^[3], while also increasing battery durability. The battery retains more than 90% of its energy after 1,000 cycles ^[4].

The charger uses triple GaN material PFC + AHB innovative circuit architecture, which has high power density, small size, more intelligent and safe charging control, and a wider range of chargeable products. The charging cable adapts Emarker identification chip, with new interface structure design. This cable can carry a current up to 13A^[5], and when combined with Infinix's customized fast charging protocol, ensures that 260W high-power extreme fast charging is possible.

110W Wireless All-Round FastCharge

Infinix’s new 110W Wireless All-Round FastCharge technology can fully charge a phone in just 16 minutes ^[6]. By using custom-made small-sensitive coils that have fewer coils than traditional designs and wider coils in the same space, Infinix overcomes traditional architectural limitations, reduces coil internal resistance, and subsequently lowers phone temperature rise, increases peak power charging time, and improves wireless charging efficiency.

The custom-made 110W wireless charger features a dual coil design for both vertical and horizontal charging. The charge station also employs a fan at the base for silent air-cooling, which improves heat dissipation efficiency in typically high heat areas.

Infinix’s All-Round FastCharge Solution

Infinix has developed an innovative charging solution called the All-Round FastCharge, which takes charging technology to a new level. The company's long-term plan focuses not only on speed, but also on creating an all-round charging experience that is fast, flexible, smart, and safe. With this solution, consumers can charge their devices in a variety of ways, wherever they are in the world, without being tethered to a power source. The goal is to provide consumers with a seamless and convenient charging experience that meets all their needs.

In order to provide consumers with an all-round charging experience that is fast, flexible, smart and safe, Infinix's first generation All-Round FastCharge solution is packed with features. The solution offers both wired and wireless fast charging, as well as reverse charging, bypass charging, and multi-protocol charging. With wired and wireless dual fast charging, users can enjoy a supreme charging experience on-the-go. The reverse charging function also allows users to transform their phone into a portable charger. Infinix is compatible with multiple fast charging protocols, including PD 3.0, and offers intelligent charging and monitoring features such as night charging and bypass charging to extend battery life and reduce heat. In terms of safety, Infinix's solution includes over 140+ protection mechanisms and 20+ temperature sensors, ensuring safe operation even in extreme environments.

ACCA calls on employers to continue to progress flexible working on International Women’s Day

                                              

As employers around the world today mark International Women’s Day, ACCA is emphasising the importance of flexible working and training in accelerating diversity.

Remote and hybrid work, education and training are proving invaluable in extending access to opportunity and ACCA is calling on employers to maintain the momentum.

Following the completion of a major piece of research surveying 8,000 finance professionals around the world, ACCA has found most people want hybrid working, believing it makes them more productive, with additional benefits reported by women.

ACCA’s 2023 Global Talent Trends report found that while men and women valued hybrid working almost equally (at 88% and 86% respectively), women felt the benefits of remote working more significantly, with 73% of women saying felt they were more productive when they worked remotely, in comparison to 66% of male respondents.

Findings of the research suggest hybrid working also leads to better outcomes overall in terms of mental health and retention, with hybrid workers less likely to leave their organisations. But employers are still working through the potential impact on teamwork and collaboration.

Women felt better able to manage the impact of remote working on collaboration and engagement, with a lower percentage reporting they found collaboration harder when working remotely (43% in comparison to 52% of male respondents), or that they felt more disengaged.  

ACCA Chief Executive, Helen Brand OBE, said: “Flexible approaches to working are bringing significant benefits to all, but can particularly helpful to those where geographical, financial or additional commitments create restrictions that can impact on working location or hours.

“The cultural changes brought about by the pandemic, along with evolving technology, mean remote work and study is now an option for a greater diversity of people. As employers consider the culture of their organisations, it’s important this inclusivity benefit is kept front of mind.”

While not all work and study can be undertaken remotely, such as in the healthcare and construction sectors, increasing flexibility and access where it is an option can increase diversity. ACCA is committed enhancing inclusivity for its members, and future remembers, and remote learning and exams also plays a part in extending the opportunity of professional careers to many more people.

Helen Brand added: “E-learning has brought extra flexibility to study, giving people who live in remoter areas, or with challenging commitments outside of study, the scope to build education into their lives. It opens up the promise of a profession to many who might have been excluded until now.”

Google to host 7 Women Techmakers events to support over 1,550 women developers in Pakistan, starting from International Women’s Day

   Google is organizing seven Women Techmakers (WTM) events in Pakistan this year to support and empower more than 1,550 women developers across five cities. WTM is a global initiative by Google to provide visibility, community, and resources for women in tech.

The seven events - which will comprise rallies, workshops, networking events and conferences - will run from March to May, and provide training in various entrepreneurship areas including leadership, technical skills, and how to overcome unique challenges facing women in tech. 

The first event will start on March 8, which marks International Women’s Day (IWD). The IWD theme for WTM events this year is #DareToBe, where we encourage women to have the courage and confidence to dream big and take risks. Whether it’s bold, resilient or innovative, we invite everyone to think about all the ways they will “Dare To Be” in 2023.

Local WTM Ambassadors will host the events with support from Google. The WTM Ambassador program supports women in tech who are looking to create impact and give back to their communities. As an Ambassador, they will engage with their communities by participating in one or more leadership activities on a quarterly basis. 

Farhan S. Qureshi, Google Regional Director for Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka said: “These events, in collaboration with Women Techmakers (WTM) Ambassadors, don’t only recognize the accomplishments of women in tech, but will also encourage more women to join the fast growing tech industry. Over the years, WTM and its ambassadors have organized many events that have helped women developers reach their true and full potential. That said, the program will promote diversity, equality, and inclusion in the tech sector, which is the primary mission of Google.”

An attendee from last year’s program, Manahil Qureshi, recalled her experience at the WTM: “The speakers' sessions were filled with power-packed talks on Education, Women's Workforce, Community Building, and future prospects for women in tech in Pakistan. The speakers fired up the event with interactive discussions and some interesting Q&A sessions. The vibe of the event was so warm and positive.”

Our WTM events this year build on encouraging results from last year, where we trained more than 800 women developers across Pakistan through a series of WTM sessions. The events, which were also held as part of celebrations for IWD, covered important topics such as online safety, as well as coding and presentation skills.

The 2023 WTM sessions will commence on March 8, 2023, and continue until April 29, 2023, across Pakistan. For more information, please visit https://sites.google.com/view/iwd-wtm-2023-pakistan/
