šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø Good morning, and welcome to Tuesdayā€™s Daily Authority. This week Iā€™m looking forward to heading off on a murder mystery weekend at a remote Scottish hotel. Hopefully, Iā€™ll survive the night!

Weā€™ve got lots of news for you today, as the OnePlus 11 launches globally later alongside the OnePlus Pad. Weā€™ve got leaks for the latter, plus Microsoftā€™s AI event, Pixel 7 savings, a PlayStation Vita emulator, and Pedro Pascal as youā€™ve never seen him before.

OnePlus Pad leaks

OnePlus Pad Official
OnePlus

Ahead of the OnePlus event later today, where weā€™re expecting the OnePlus 11, OnePlus 11R, and the OnePlus Pad, a leak has revealed the tabletā€™s keyboard, stylus, and other details.

  • A Weibo post discovered by GSMArenaĀ shows off the tabletā€™s display, rear camera, and two accessories in a promo video.
  • It looks like the OnePlus Pad will come with a stylus and a folio-style keyboard similar to those that come with other Android tablets, with a trackpad too.
  • We also saw a second leak from Abhishek Yadav on Twitter, who shared some leaked specs. According to Yadav, the OnePlus Pad could pack an 11.6-inch 2.8K LCD display with 144Hz refresh rate, MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, 13MP rear cam, 8MP front cam, a 9,500mAh battery with 67W charging, and stylus support (which backs up the leaked video).
  • Weā€™ll know more at the launch, later today.

Microsoftā€™s surprise AI event

Just one day after Google announced Bard, its ChatGPT competitor, Microsoft announced an in-person press conference for 1:00 PM ET today.

  • Taking place at the companyā€™s HQ in Redmond, the event will also see OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in attendance.
  • Itā€™s expected to focus on AI and possible ChatGPT integration for Bing.
  • Just last week, a user of the search engine spotted a chatbot interface in it, so the company could be ready to roll the integration out widely or announce plans surrounding it.
  • This all comes ahead of Googleā€™s AI and search-related event, which is happening tomorrow, February 8, at 8:30 AM ET.

Tuesday thing

Itā€™s-a me, Mario!

If you werenā€™t sure about Chris Prattā€™s Mario voice (so, thatā€™s most of us), then check out this SNL HBO Mario Kart trailer which guarantees youā€™ll see Pedro in a whole new light. Speaking of The Last of Us, when are we going to see that giraffe moment?

Have a great day!
