Sep 26, 2023

After launching its first tablet earlier this year, OnePlus is now gearing up to launch the new OnePlus Pad Go. The new slate is confirmed to launch in India on October 6 and the company has already started revealing many of its specifications. A recent teaser confirmed the tablet will bundle a 2.5K resolution display. Now, OnePlus has shared the upcoming device will bring a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos Audio.

OnePlus Pad Go will be a multimedia powerhouse?

OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus Pad Go will feature a quad speaker setup which will be supported by Dolby Atmos audio. As per the company, the device will offer a “cinematic sound experience”. Paired with an 11.35-inch display with a 2.4K resolution and a 7:5 aspect ratio, the OnePlus Pad Go might actually offer a solid multimedia experience.

So far, the details about the tablet are limited. OnePlus has generously released the images of the device, revealing its dual-tone design. It retains the same design as the OG OnePlus Pad with curved edges, a centrally-placed camera module, and sizeable bezels on all sides of the display. The tablet is confirmed to arrive in Twin Mint color.

We reviewed the original OnePlus Pad and found it to be good for content consumption. With an 11.61-inch LCD screen sporting a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels and 144Hz refresh rate, the tablet offers good visuals. The Dimensity 9000 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 makes sure the device runs without hiccups. However, we noted in our review the OnePlus Pad is limited by Android OS.

The OnePlus Pad Go is supposed to be a toned-down version of the OnePlus Pad so you might see a less-powerful processor and probably a smaller battery. The software limitations will continue to be there until something is done on a broader scale.

Sep 26, 2023

OpenAI has recently introduced new multimodal capabilities for ChatGPT, enabling users to engage in voice conversations and share images with the model in real-time. These features will be initially rolled out for Plus and Enterprise subscribers, followed by availability for free users.

Voice Input for Mobile Users

The voice input, similar to what we find in mobile voice assistants like Siri and Google Assistant, allows users to speak their queries. The system then translates this speech into text, processes it, and responds vocally. This feature is accessible on both iOS and Android and has great potential for various applications.

Use your voice to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with ChatGPT. Speak with it on the go, request a bedtime story, or settle a dinner table debate.

— OpenAI (@OpenAI) September 25, 2023

Image Input for Visual Queries

Similarly, the image input feature, resembling Google Lens, enables users to convey their questions using images. ChatGPT analyzes the uploaded images and provides relevant responses. Users can even use drawing tools to highlight specific parts of the image or clarify their questions through text or voice. This feature aims to enhance the user experience by enabling dynamic conversations. It can be especially helpful for tasks like bicycle repairs or cooking as demonstrated by the OpenAI, where users can upload images of objects or instruction manuals and receive explanations and solutions.

OpenAI’s decision to integrate voice and image capabilities into ChatGPT not only broadens the range of interactions but also opens up exciting creative possibilities. However, OpenAI is aware of the potential for misuse and is taking steps to prevent unethical applications of these advanced features.

How to use the features?

To start using voice with ChatGPT, go to Settings in the mobile app, access New Features, opt into voice conversations, tap the headphone icon on the home screen’s top-right corner, and select your preferred voice from five options.

For image prompts, tap on the plus button and then either capture or select an image and use drawing tools to guide the assistant.

OpenAI has also launched DALL-E 3 recently, an upgraded AI art tool that boasts integration with ChatGPT, enabling users to create detailed prompts more easily. DALL-E 3 addresses the challenge of generating realistic human hands and improves its performance with complex commands compared to its predecessor, DALL-E 2.

The global wearables market rebounded in the second quarter of 2023, with shipments increasing by 6% year-on-year to reach 44 million units, according to market research firm Canalys. This growth was attributed to a surge in consumer demand across various aspects of daily life, as well as the availability of affordable wearables.

Apple led the market with a share of 18%, followed by Xiaomi (11%), Huawei (10%), Noise (8%), and Fire-Boltt (7%). Out of all the wearable segments, the basic watch category experienced robust growth, capturing nearly half of the market share.

This growth was primarily driven by Indian players and major smartphone vendors, such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Huami. In the Indian market, basic watches saw a remarkable 73% increase in shipments.

Likewise, despite a year-on-year decline, basic smartbands also maintained a stable market share of 19%. This is likely due to the availability of affordable options and consumers’ cautious approach to higher-priced alternatives.

The smartwatch category experienced substantial double-digit growth—all thanks to the competitively priced products from companies like Xiaomi and Huawei. They introduced a slew of new wearables at aggressive prices to boost their market presence and appeal to diverse consumer preferences.

Indian vendors also played a significant role, introducing entry-level and higher-priced products to cater to different customer segments. Brands like Noise and Fire-Boltt offered smartwatches with an average selling price below $19, helping them climb into the top five wearable brands.

CMF by Nothing has just launched its first bunch of products including the Buds Pro TWS, a 65W GaN charger, and a smartwatch called the CMF Watch Pro. The smartwatch doesn’t reinvent the wheel, however, it has a stacked spec sheet which will be hard to compete against at its price point.

CMF Watch Pro specs

Starting with the design and display, the smartwatch looks similar to the design the Apple watches have been rocking for a while, and it features a clear, polished metal frame that has a dial on the side. The back is made of hard plastic.

Coming to the front, the smartwatch features a flat 1.96” AMOLED display which is quite bright at 600+ nits peak and is also sharp with a resolution of 410×502. Another plus point here is the 58Hz smooth display that makes navigating the smartwatch a delight.

For fitness enthusiasts, the CMF Watch Pro comes with 110 sports modes. Perhaps the most interesting feature here is the built-in multi-system GPU that uses multiple satellite positioning systems to track your location and distance traveled data accurately for activities like running, cycling, walking, and hiking.

Outside of that, the smartwatch does have Bluetooth Calling, which it claims to integrate with AI technology to deliver a crisp mic output to the listener.

iPhone 16 Pro is expected to feature same tetraprism telephoto lens as 15 Pro Max

Sep 26, 2023

Apple announced its new iPhone lineup with some quality-of-life upgrades. Notably, the iPhone 15 Pro Max stands out as the only device to feature the new periscope camera with 5x optical zoom.

It is natural to expect that this lens would also make its way to the iPhone 16 Pro Max next year. However, according to a new report by supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro is also expected to feature the same tetraprism telephoto camera lens, which will bring the two models into parity.

The tetraprism lens introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro Max this year allows for a longer focal length without making the phone thicker. It works by bouncing light around inside the lens, which effectively increases the distance between the lens and the sensor.

The iPhone 15 Pro currently has a 3x optical zoom lens, so the addition of the tetraprism lens to the iPhone 16 Pro will bring it on par with the Pro Max. This means that both Pro models will offer the same level of optical zoom capability.

Kuo’s report also sheds some light on why the tetraprism lens is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max this year. The lens is complex to manufacture and is only produced by Largan, which is causing a supply bottleneck.

However, Kuo predicts that by next year, Apple may allow another supplier, Genius, to produce the lenses. This could help to reduce production challenges and allow Apple to add the tetraprism lens to more iPhone models, including the iPhone 16 Pro.

However, the cheaper price tag is made possible thanks to cut corners, with the earbuds no longer featuring the iconic transparent body. There will likely be some differences in the audio quality of the CMF Buds Pro and the Ear series of earbuds.

Despite this, the CMF Buds Pro still offers some premium features like hybrid ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) with up to 45 decibels of noise reduction. Furthermore, it also comes with clear call technology and a powerful bass boost option. Each earbuds house a 55mAh battery pack, which can deliver up to 11 hours of audio playback with ANC turned off. When paired with the charging case, the Buds Pro can last for up to 39 hours (with ANC off).

As per official notes, mere 10 minutes of charging can offer up to five hours of music playback. The earbuds’ charging case adopts a pebble-like circular case, while the earbuds adopt a stem and in-ear design. CMF Buds Pro can be used with the Nothing X app, which lets users gain access to a customizable equalizer and personalize the touch controls as well. It is available in multiple color options, namely gray, white, and orange, similar to the Watch Pro wearable.

CMF Power 65W GaN Charger

Out of the three new launches, CMF Power 65W Charger is the most affordable products. The company’s new device is a GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger. In other words, this can help users charge their electronic gadgets quickly. This charger is supported for smartphones, earbuds, smartwatch, and even most notebooks as well. It houses three ports, which include two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port.

Additionally, it arrives with a wide compatibility, supporting PD3.0, QC4.0+/3.0/2.0, SCP, FCP, PPS, AFC, Samsung 9V2A, DCP, and Apple 2.4A protocols. This means that most popular electronic products will be supported by this Power 65W Charger. Apart from 65W fast charging, it supports a wide voltage range from 100-240V. So if you travel across the globe, rest assured that this is safe to use worldwide. This can be purchased in either a grey or orange color option.

Pricing & Availability

CMF is a relatively more affordable brand compared to its parent company, Nothing. The new CMF Buds Pro are available for a 49 US Dollar price tag, while the CMF Power 65W Charger will go on sale for 39 US Dollars. All of the new gadgets will go on sale later this month, although a specific launch date hasn’t been revealed yet.
