Nexoptic Technology Corp > Snapdragon 888 WTF

Snapdragon 888 WTF

At the edge, machine learning, real time, night video enhancement, and vastly improved image quality on Snapdragon 888 based devices.  But it’s not ALIIS.  It’s BlinkAI’s technology.
 
The following article was posted on FB last week, but did not get much discussion.   What stands out for me in this article is no mention of ALIIS or Nexoptic, but rather BlinkAI that does practically the same thing. 
 
Make every snap picture perfect with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 (androidauthority.com)
https://www.androidauthority.com/picture-perfect-qualcomm-snapdragon-888-2747027/
 
Read it for yourself, but here are the highlights:
 
  • “Qualcomm also partners with BlinkAI, which leverages the Snapdragon 888’s AI Engine for vastly improved night video shooting with the Xiaomi Mi 11 smartphone. BlinkAI’s computational solution improves effective illumination by up to 5x to vastly improve image quality in tricky shooting environments.”
  • “This technology is found inside the OnePlus 9 Pro, Oppo Find X3 Pro, and Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.”
 
Wasn’t ALIIS supposed to be integrated “onto” this chip???
 
ALIIS has been ready for deployment for over a year.  So what devices is ALIIS sold in today?  Where are NXO’s contracts?  Here is a quote from Nexoptics NR a year ago (September 11, 2020):
“Our All Light Intelligent Imaging Solutions (ALIIS) products are now ready for deployment on our partner platforms with NVIDIA and Qualcomm, and we anticipate customer deals for sales of ALIIS in the near future,” said Rich Geruson, NexOptic’s Chairman.
 
To me, it seems like competition is eating Nexoptic’s lunch.  Chip supply problems?   Only a problem for NXO…does not seem to apply to BlinkAI.   NXO is still making demos while BlinkAI is getting contracts. 
 
Check out BlinkAI and their night video…pretty amazing:    https://www.blink.ai/nightvideo
 
Does this mean NXO can’t get contracts in the future?   No, I think NXO still has good potential, but perhaps this is a splash of cold water for the dreamers who think NXO has some kind of monopoly with their patents and partnerships.
 
Any thoughts on this article?

Good luck to all.

Allis is integrated on with whatever on the 778 series. I gave my opinion about the article in the FB group which is I didn't know and don't care. Folks if you are too concerned about other companies occupying the same space with similar offerings don't buy into company shares. There is nothing new under the sun!!! If you pay too much attention without celebrating others win even if ...more

@TRU  Dont look for any objective opinions here.  Aside from myself and a few other posters everyone is drinking the NXO Koolaid. I agree with you and others that we were supposed to be further along than where we are now.  Last year we were told Aliis was " avail immediately" for customers. Now 1 year later we are told we are entering " next phase of ...more

Damn1212:   Yeah, I know what you mean.   No contracts, 0 revenue, and dangerously low cash situation are serious problems that NXO needs to address.   NR about paradigm shifts, next stages of commercialization, more demos…blah blah blah…none of this addresses the real issues and risks facing the company.     Your point about the NXO Koolaid is ...more

Do we know how long BlinkAI has been a partner? Maybe they have just been working with Qual longer?
Comment by Truhlik on Sep 12, 2021 8:25pm
Good point...it could be.   I just know that BlinkAI is a small startup from Boston US, with an office also in China. Similar in a way to NXO.   NXO is a small startup from Vancouver with an office also in Korea.  Their technology is also similar:  at the edge, based on deep learning neural nets, and provide image/video enhancement solutions for poor lighting ...more

"Aside from myself and a few other posters everyone is drinking the NXO Koolaid." I thought I read you own over 1.5 million shares, sounds like you've definitely been drinking the look aid. You claimed you were up 18%, with that share count, sounds like a pretty penny. Not a bad time to sell with a nice profit and leave this company with a history of lies, no contracts, no ...more

This explains it well and clear why NexOptic are worried over the competition advancements. Selling ALIIS to customers would not be an easy job.
