Infinix is apparently working on a successor to the Infinix GT 10 Pro. The new model is the Infinix GT 20 Pro, which was spotted on a major certification platform before any official announcement. This sighting confirmed a bunch of its key specifications, so let’s check it out.

Infinix GT 20 Pro: RAM, Storage, Battery, & More

The Infinix GT 20 Pro recently surfaced on the FCC database. Just last week, the device was also spotted on the BIS platform, which hinted at its imminent launch in India. The upcoming smartphone was spotted on the FCC carrying the X6871 model number. Looking at the certification listing, the Infinix GT 20 Pro will reportedly support 45W wired fast charging as it was listed with a charger that has the model number U450XSB. This charger has a power output of 15W (5V/3A) and 45W (11V/4.1A).

The certification also confirmed that the new handset will come in at least one storage configuration that offers 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. An interesting aspect of the certification was the design schematics of the rear panel. These images showcase a triple camera setup on the back similar to the Infinix GT 10 Pro. However, the most notable part of the schematics is the semi-circular strip that is divided into two halves, which are likely cutouts for the LED lighting just like its predecessor.

While the official design isn’t confirmed at the moment, the brand would likely continue the cyber mecha design that was first featured on the Infinix GT 10 Pro. The FCC certification confirms the dimensions of the Infinix GT 20 Pro, which is 164×74.5×7.6mm. For connectivity, the smartphone supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6 802.11 a/n/ac/ax. Earlier this month, the Infinix GT 20 Pro was confirmed to be powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack and feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 8200 SoC on the GeekBench and TUV certifications.

Mar 22, 2024

Oppo has officially launched its latest Watch X smartwatch in China, less than a month after its Malaysian debut. While the smartwatch retains the same core specifications as its global counterpart, there are a few key differences catered to the Chinese market. So let’s get into the specifications here.

Oppo Watch X Specifications

The Oppo Watch X maintains its distinctive circular design with a polished stainless steel case. The front has a 1.43-inch AMOLED display that is protected by Sapphire Crystal Glass and boasts a 466×466 pixel resolution. The screen has an impressive 1000-nit peak brightness and supports Always-on Display technology.

There are two physical controls – a rotating dial and a button – that protrude from the right side of the case. The watch also has MIL-STD 810H durability certification and IP68 water resistance to a depth of 50 meters.

Under the hood, the Oppo Watch X runs on a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Software-wise, it runs two operating systems, Color OS, and RTOS, much like in the latest OnePlus Watch 2.

Color OS runs on the W5 Gen 1 chip, while RTOS uses a separate BES2700 chip, along with 4GB of eMMC storage. RTOS stays on continuously, handling background tasks and more light activities like calls and notifications.

There’s also eSIM support which means you can use the watch to make and take calls. This feature is missing on the global variant of the Oppo Watch X.

Nonetheless, thanks to the combination of two operating systems, the Oppo Watch X offers a battery life of up to 100 hours. It takes around 60 minutes to fully charge the device.

As for health and wellness, the Watch X is equipped with an 8-channel heart rate sensor and a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor that covers continuous heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels, and stress tracking. It also offers comprehensive sleep analysis, including a Sleep Snoring Risk Assessment feature.

Moreover, you get over 100 sports modes with automatic recognition for activities like running, walking, cycling, and swimming. The watch also has dual-band GPS (L1 + L5) support with a 5-satellite positioning system (Beidou, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS) that lets you navigate your route easily and accurately. There’s also support for car key feature in vehicles of brands like Ideal, BYD, Te Nengxing, Leapmotor, Maverick Electric, and Venucia.

Pricing and Availability

The Oppo Watch X is available in China in “Thousands of Sails Blue,” “Desert Silver Moon,” and “Starry Night Flying” colors at retail prices of 2499 yuan, 2399 yuan, and 2299 yuan, respectively. You can buy the smartwatch from JD.com in China.

To recall, OnePlus announced the Ace 2V in March 2023, and a couple of months later, the brand unveiled a tweaked version of the device with the Nord 3 moniker. Both phones offered different primary cameras, but the rest of the specs were identical. Therefore, it is likely that the upcoming Nord 4 could be a tweaked version of the Ace 3V. Here is a look at the specifications of the 3V.

OnePlus Ace 3V specifications

The OnePlus Ace 3V features a 6.74-inch flat OLED display with a centrally positioned punch hole. The screen offers a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 2150nits peak brightness.

Mar 22, 2024

Xiaomi has launched a new projector in China, called the Redmi Projector Lite. As the name suggests, it’s designed to be a more affordable option but feature-wise, it still delivers a great value. Let’s delve into its details here.

Redmi Projector Lite Specifications

As a budget-friendly choice, the Redmi Projector Lite focuses on delivering the essentials. It features a 1080p resolution and a throw ratio of 1.2:1, allowing for image projections of up to 100 inches in size.

While its 150 CVIA lumens brightness might not dazzle in well-lit rooms, Xiaomi says the projector offers clarity and color in content thanks to a sealed optical engine and a “super-transparent lens”.

The Redmi Projector Lite has also been certified by SGS for low blue light emissions, specifically filtering light within the 415nm-455nm range to help reduce eye strain. Xiaomi also claims a lifespan of 10 years for the machine.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of this projector is its ToF laser sensing module. This along with AI algorithms enables features like automatic picture correction, displacement adjustment, and autofocus at startup, says Xiaomi.

All this automation should make the setup notably less fussy, letting you get to movie night faster. The projector can also be used for side, oblique, and elevation projection, but do note that the automatic picture correction only works within a 15° angle.

For connectivity, the Redmi Projector Lite version includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI (ARC) port, USB 2.0 interface, and a DC IN power input.

Moreover, the projector can be controlled via the Mijia App and supports wireless screen projection from both computers and mobile devices. You can also pair your external audio devices via Bluetooth.

Price and Availability

The Redmi Projector Lite is currently available for purchase through Xiaomi’s Youpin platform and JD.com for a price of 699 yuan (~$96).

Mar 22, 2024

Microsoft today unveiled the new Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 for Business PCs, which starts at $1199 (~8664 Yuan). These new Surface laptops are scheduled for release on April 9. A remarkable improvement in these two new products sits in the repairability, where users are treated with visual icons and maintenance instructions inside.

New Surface Laptops with a focus on repairability

“The most maintainable Surface devices ever”

A video shows that they have added QR codes and wayfinding to replaceable parts. Through these. users can check the type of parts, screws, and required tools. The interview with Nancy Gaskill, general manager of Microsoft’s Surface division implies that the new surface products are now easier to maintain with clear visual icons and maintenance instructions.

Coming to the replaceable parts for the new Surface Pro 10, it includes the display module, battery, SSD, SSD slot, Surface Connect ports, cooling system, microphone module, speakers, chassis, front and rear cameras, power supply and volume control buttons, and finally the stand.

Android 15’s latest update brings satellite connectivity support at OS level

By

Mar 22, 2024

Google continues the preview phase of Android 15 with the release of Developer Preview 2 (DP2). It builds on the initial preview launch last month, but like its predecessor, the version remains firmly aimed at developers preparing apps for the new operating system. A public beta release is expected in April.

Android 15 Developer Preview 2: What’s New?

The big change in Android 15 DP2 is its support for satellite connectivity at the operating system level. The OS now has UI elements designed into it to ensure a consistent user experience for devices connected to satellites.

Apps can also detect if a device is using a satellite network and adjust its functionality accordingly. Core messaging services like SMS/MMS and pre-installed RCS apps can also utilize satellite connections for communication.

Additionally, Android 15 DP2 makes handling PDFs within applications easier. Developers can now include rendering for password-protected PDFs, annotations, and in-document search, editing, and selection capabilities.

The PDF renderer updates will come via Google Play system updates and won’t depend on major Android releases. Google also says that the local PDF viewing experience should be faster and use fewer resources in Android 15.

Android 15 Developer Preview 2 Satellite Messaging

The other notable improvements in Developer Preview 2 include a smoother NFC payment experience and refinements in automatic language switching for audio recognition.

Developers also now can customize how their app appears on the smaller cover screen of flip-style foldable phones. Google says “these screens are too small to be considered as compatible targets for Android apps to run on,” but they’re still giving option to developers.

Moreover, Android 15 can also detect if an app is being recorded to enhance user privacy. For improved audio experiences, Google is introducing a new loudness standard that should mitigate inconsistencies when switching between various audio contents.

Last but not least, there is further customization in the Do Not Disturb mode, allowing users to prioritize specific rules and trigger actions such as a black-and-white display, night mode, and wallpaper dimming.

Microsoft launches its first AI PCs with emphasis on easy repairs

Mar 22, 2024

Microsoft has taken the wraps off its latest Surface devices – the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6. While visually reminiscent of their predecessor, these are the company’s first PCs to feature Intel Meteor Lake processors with integrated NPUs for on-device AI features.

Microsoft Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 Launch Price

The new Surface devices are also the first from Microsoft to feature a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard. And in case the name didn’t say it, Microsoft is targeting these devices primarily for business use, rather than for everyday consumers. Hence, with all the AI upgrades, Microsoft is calling them “the first Surface AI PCs built exclusively for business.”

Microsoft Surface Pro 10 for Business

The biggest upgrade on the Surface Pro 10 internally is the new Intel Core Ultra chipsets — you can choose between Intel Core Ultra 5 135U or Ultra 7 165U options.

They come with a range of LPDDR5X RAM configurations, with the base being 8GB, while the highest-tier variant goes up to 64 GB. Storage options are equally generous, ranging from 256GB to 1TB with detachable Gen4 SSDs for flexibility.

Surface Pro 10 has a familiar design, but upgrades lies inside.

There’s not a size increase in terms of display. You still get a 13-inch IPS touchscreen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, but it now has a new anti-reflective coating and 33 percent more brightness.

The Surface Pro 10 also has a lightweight design at just 1.94 lbs while it is also Microsoft’s first Intel-powered Surface tablet with optional support for a 5G radio.

Additionally, the tablet’s 1440p front-facing camera now offers a 114-degree field-of-view and supports Windows Studio Effects, including enhanced background blur during video calls, eye contact correction, and auto-framing.

The Surface Pro 10 for Business will be available for pre-order starting today, April (check current year), at a base price of $1,199.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 6 For Business

The Surface Laptop 6 shares the same Intel processor options as the Pro 10 and continues to offer both 13.5-inch and 15-inch IPS display choices.

Memory configurations include up to 64GB of RAM and 1TB SSDs, with pricing ranging from $1,199 up to $2,999. The NPU brings Intel AI Boost to the Laptop 6, making it a strong contender for AI-related workloads.

The Surface Laptop 6 mostly has the same upgrades as for Surface Pro 10.

The 15-inch model adds an extra USB-C port and a smart card reader. Additionally, the webcam gets a much-needed upgrade in this model, from 720p to 1080p. And like the Pro 10, it also benefits from AI-powered Windows Studio Effects for enhanced video and audio calls.

Beyond these improvements, perhaps the most notable upgrade in both new Surface products is their enhanced repairability. Users can now easily replace components such as the SSD, battery, and even the motherboard, thanks to QR codes on the parts that link to clear, guided tutorials.

Mar 22, 2024

Nothing has issued a new update for the Nothing Phone (1) called Nothing OS 2.5.3.A. The main objective of this update is to squash some annoying bugs that have appeared on the Nothing Phone (1) as of late.

If you wish to provide feedback on the update, you can do so by going to Settings > System > Feedback.
