Ather 450x special edition is called Series 1 and you cant have it

Indian electric scooter manufacturer Ather today has unveiled the Ather 450x special edition, called Series 1. The company had announced the electric scooter at an even in January earlier this year and had promised that the new electric scooter would start shipping in November. At the time, the company had bet big on consumers having faith in the brand, and expected people to lock in pre-orders before even seeing the final design of the Ather 450X. Today, Tarun Mehta, CO-Founder, Ather Energy has revealed that those who pre-ordered the Ather 450X will receive a very limited edition version of the electric scooter called Series 1.

The idea behind Series 1 was to do something special for the people who pre-ordered the scooter before its official reveal. The Scooter has a custom paint job, coming in a high-gloss black finish with a red stripe placed on the side panel with the number 1 emblazoned on it. Additionally, Mehta also revealed that the company has been working hard on developing a translucent body panel for the scooter, which will be made available to owners of the Series 1 later next year. The upgrade would be handled by Ather themselves and shouldn’t be too complex.

During the reveal, the company also clarified that the Series 1 will be a very limited edition version of the Ather 450X, and will only be sold to those who had pre-ordered the scooter originally. Mehta insisted that neither the high gloss black finish nor the translucent panels will be made available later in another model. For those wondering if Series 1 will come with any performance tweaks, Mehta clarified that besides the cosmetic tweaks, there’s absolutely nothing different performance wise on the Series 1 in comparison to the Ather 450X. Besides the custom paint-job and translucent body panels, owners of Series 1 will also get 1 year of free service as well.

Mehta said that the Series 1 scooter should be available to consumers by November in some markets, and December for some others.

Realme 55-inch TV with SLED display expected to launch soon

Realme is all set to launch a 55-inch 4K TV and it comes with something called SLED. So, what does SLED stand for? Well, from the information revealed by realme, one can deduce that it stands for the Spectral Power Distribution (SPD) technology used for the backlighting of the TV, but how this affects the viewing experience on the TV is something we will only know when we get our hands on it. Till now, we have seen TVs with LED backlighting, OLED TV and QLED TVs. So, it will be interesting to see if there is any difference between SLED and the other forms of backlighting. 

Realme 55-inch SLED TV expected features and specifications 

While we know the TV will have SLED backlighting, we don't know much else. We don't know the OS, but since realme’s previous TV ran on Android TV, we think this one will run on Android TV as well. 

Time for the BIG reveal! Presenting the World’s First SLED 4K Smart TV. Get ready for the Best-in-class Technology & the most stunning visuals ever on the #realmeSmartSLEDTV.

The TV also claims to support 108 percent of the NTSC colour space. What does that mean? Well, the NTSC Colour Gamut is 98 percent of Adobe RGB. Adobe RGB Colour Gamut is 17 percent larger than sRGB / Rec.709. The DCI-P3 Color Gamut is 26 percent larger than sRGB / Rec.709. To put things into perspective, OnePlus says that its OnePlus U1 (review) 55-inch 4K HDR TV covers 93 percent of the DCI-P3 colour space. How this affects the real-world viewing experience is something we will know when we get our hands on the realme TV.     

The realme SLED TV also boasts of TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification for a more comfortable viewing experience.

In the video embedded below, you can actually see the engineers designing and building the massive machine. There are even more videos that details the conception and design of the mecha. The iteration of the suit is based on the original Gundam design from the 1979 anime series. And, even though the Coronavirus pandemic brought everything to a standstill, trust the Japanese to put their head down and just get to it. The mecha is being built as a part of the Gundam exhibit and it is not yet known when the giant mecha will be available to be seen and experienced by the public.
