Yesterday Samsung gave us a lot of details of its first smart ring. Since its initial announcement at the Galaxy Unpacked event last month, we have been learning a lot of information about the Galaxy Ring. It is set to debut in the second half of this year. Now, the South Korean brand has revealed the battery life of the upcoming wearable device.

Samsung Galaxy Ring battery life revealed

Korean news outlet Financial News attended the Galaxy Ring briefing. The publication learned that Samsung’s smart ring will deliver a battery life of five to nine days. This is attributed to the lack of a display that is found on smartwatches. This means that the upcoming wearable device will be capable of offering up to 9 days of usage before requiring a charge. TechM also states that the confirmed battery life is in line with what Samsung mobile chief TM Roh revealed. The executive also confirmed that the smart ring does not support voice calling functionality.

Another publication The Elec citing Samsung Vice President reveals that the Galaxy Ring will be announced in the second half of the year. This means that it will debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event in late July or early August that focuses on the new generation Galaxy Z foldable, wearables, and tablets.

As per the confirmed details yesterday, the Samsung Galaxy Ring will be available in platinum silver, gold, and ceramic black colors. It will have Natural Cycles for fertility tracking for women. There will be My Vitality Score feature that will measure the user’s mental and physical preparedness.

Feb 27, 2024

A high end Vivo X100s smartphone model is apparently in the works. But ahead of any official announcement, a fresh leak has hinted at some of the upcoming flagship device’s key specifications. So here’s everything you need to know.

Vivo X100s Specs Leaked

The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the new details on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). For those unaware, the X100 lineup is the brand’s premium grade handsets, so the X100s would arrive as the latest entry in this series. The tipster claims that the upcoming smartphone will feature MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity chipset.

It will reportedly be equipped with the Dimenity 9300+ SoC. Digital Chat Station further added that the X100s could also sport a flat OLED display that offers Full HD+ resolution. The Dimensity 9300+ is likely an overclocked version of the regular Dimensity 9300, which is a high end chip that powers current gen flagship devices. Reportedly, the upcoming handset will even offer 100W wired fast charging and be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack.

This is slightly slower than the 120W fast charging featured in the base X100 model. Digital Chat Station claims that the X100s houses a short focus optical in-display fingerprint scanner as well as a metal frame, and a glass rear panel. It is unclear if a leather variant is planned for this model. Although, the device is rumored to arrive in four color options, which will include a white variant. The Vivo X100s is expected to debut alongside the Vivo X Fold 4 and Vivo Pad 3 series next month in China, so stick around for more updates.

FCC and UL certifications shed light on Galaxy Tab S6 Lite battery and charging

Feb 27, 2024

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 appears increasingly likely to launch soon, as the tablet has been certified by both the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Denmark’s Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

These certifications reveal some possible specs and features of the device. So let’s take a look at it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 FCC and UL certification

One key detail revealed by these certifications is the battery capacity. According to UL, the tablet is expected to house a 6,840mAh battery (26.34WHr).

However, the certification includes two battery model numbers: EB-BT725ABU and EB-BT725ABN. The first one, EB-BT725ABU, is a larger 7040mAh cell, which might be actually used for the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

Support for this detail comes from the device’s FCC certification, which also mentions the EB-BT725ABU battery. Additionally, it confirms that the tablet supports 15W fast wired charging.

Moreover, the FCC listing suggests the tablet will be compatible with the S Pen stylus. Given that the previous Tab S6 Lite also supported the S-Pen, it’s unsurprising that Samsung would include it with the new model.

Considering the compatibility with previous S Pen models, the 2024 version may also have similar dimensions. Additionally, the FCC certification confirms that the device will have an LCD panel.

Additional leaks and benchmarks point towards the inclusion of the Exynos 1280 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 is expected to run the Android 14 operating system, likely with Samsung’s One UI interface.

While these leaks provide a glimpse into the upcoming tablet, official specifications and a release date from Samsung are still pending.

TCL, the Chinese electronics manufacturer, has broadened its smartphone range with the introduction of the 50 Series lineup. First unveiled at CES 2024, TCL shared more details about these devices at MWC Barcelona, including their pricing and availability.

TCL 50 series specifications

A notable feature of the 50 Series is the inclusion of TCL’s NXTPAPER display technology in two models: the TCL 50 XL NXTPAPER 5G and the TCL 50 XE NXTPAPER 5G.

TCL claims this technology brings the benefits of e-ink displays, known for their paper-like quality and reduced glare, to standard smartphone screens. This aims to minimize eye strain for users.

In addition to the NXTPAPER models, the TCL 50 Series includes five other smartphones— TCL 50 XL 5G, 50 XE 5G, 50 5G, 50 SE 5G, and the budget-friendly TCL 50 LE 5G.

The TCL 50 XL 5G and 50 XL NXTPAPER 5G are essentially the same smartphones, differing only in the inclusion of NXTPAPER technology. They offer expansive 6.8-inch displays with 120Hz refresh rates for smooth visuals, powered by the MediaTek 23E+ chipset and featuring a 50MP main camera in their triple-lens setup.

Similarly, the TCL 50 XE 5G and TCL 50 XE NXTPAPER 5G follow a similar pattern, featuring a 6.6-inch 90Hz display with a hole-punch cutout for the front camera. These models utilize the MediaTek 6835 23E+ chipset and include a 50MP main camera paired with a 5MP ultrawide lens.

While the 50 5G sacrifices camera quality for affordability, the 50 SE targets entertainment enthusiasts with its large screen, 12GB of RAM, and powerful dual speakers. For those seeking budget options, the 50 LE offers a slightly smaller display, less RAM, and a smaller battery compared to other models.

Price

In terms of pricing, TCL aims to position the TCL 50 LE 5G as a super-budget option at around $100. The TCL 50 XL NXTPAPER 5G will be priced under $229, while the non-NXTPAPER TCL 50 XL 5G will remain under $169.

Similarly, the standard TCL 50 XE 5G will be offered under $149, and the NXTPAPER version will be priced under $199.

The standard TCL 50 XL 5G is set to arrive at Metro by T-Mobile in Q2 2024, with the NXTPAPER model launching on TCL’s website in Q3 2024. Both TCL 50 XE variants are also scheduled to launch in Q3 2024.
