Last week was packed with key announcements, and if you missed them, here’s your chance to get updated with our weekly round-up of the top stories:
Meizu Watch
After months of waiting, the Meizu Watch is here and it packs the guts of a modern smartwatch along with an affordable price tag. The wearable is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100, runs Flyme for Watch, has an eSIM, and costs roughly ~$235.
Samsung’s next-gen Exynos chip will have an AMD RDNA2 GPU
Samsung’s next-gen flagship Exynos chipset is expected to boast some big gains in GPU performance, no thanks to the company’s partnership with AMD. Last week, Samsung revealed the chipset will have a GPU based on AMD’s RDNA2 architecture when it arrives later this year. This is the same architecture the GPUs inside the PS5 and new Xbox Series X/Series S consoles are built on.
Huawei’s new HarmonyOS-powered devices
Huawei has a handful of new products powered by HarmonyOS. The lineup includes the Huwaei Watch 3 series and three new MatePad tablets. There is also a new pair of TWS ANC earbuds – the Freebuds 4 and new monitors. Huawei also gave us an early look at the Huawei P50 series.
Pixel Buds A
The Pixel A series of smartphones is pretty popular, even selling more than the main Pixel line. Now, Google is extending that budget treatment to its earbuds line and it appears it already has a winner. The $99 Pixel Buds A TWS earbuds drop some of the premium features of the Pixel Buds (2) but keep the key ones for a great audio experience.
OnePlus Tag is coming
OnePlus may be making its own smart tracking device based on a recent patent filing. The OnePlus Tag should take on Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s SmartTag when it eventually launches. We can expect it to be cheaper than what the competitor offers when it hits the market.
Samsung’s new Windows 10 on ARM PCs are powered by Qualcomm chips
Samsung announced the Galaxy Book Go last week, and the notebook comes in different configurations with 5G and 4G as well as a Wi-Fi-only version. The new notebook has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx or Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chipset depending on the variant you want to purchase. It runs Windows 10 Home/Pro and offers up to 18 hours of battery life.
