Xiaomi’s Mijia Electric Kettle 1A was a huge success in the first half of 2023, ranking first in the industry in online channel shipments/value. Today, Xiaomi has launched the Mijia Electric Kettle N1, which is priced at 79 yuan but has an introductory price of 69 yuan. Let’s talk about what Xiaomi has to offer with the new Mijia Electric Kettle N1.

Xiaomi Mijia Electric Kettle N1 Launched

The MIJIA Electric Kettle N1 follows the minimalist design that Xiaomi products are known for. It looks similar to the Kettle 1A, and it still has a capacity of 1.5 liters. The kettle has an inner and outer double-layer body design, with the inner tank made of 304 food-contact grade stainless steel.

The Mijia Electric Kettle N1 features 1500W high-power 360° concentrating ring heating, which evenly heats up and boils water quickly. It also has a high-quality thermostat to ensure complete boiling.

The kettle has a two-stage damping open lid design to prevent steam from spraying out. The 12 cm large diameter kettle body is easy to clean, and the U-shaped round spout prevents hot water from splashing. The bottom of the kettle has a power cord storage compartment and a heating lamp.

In terms of safety, Xiaomi says the Mijia Electric Kettle N1 has passed the service life test over 10,000 times and supports anti-dry protection, high-temperature power failure, and steam induction.

Xiaomi Mix Flip moniker confirmed via IMEI; a worthy Galaxy Z Flip 5 competitor on the way?

Sep 5, 2023

Xiaomi launched the Mix Fold 3 last month as the thinnest book-style foldable yet. However, it was soon revealed that the handset, like its predecessors, wouldn’t make it to the global market. That’s definitely a bummer, but the company is also said to have a flip phone in the works, which should launch next year in China and maybe in the outside world as well. With high expectations, we are now hearing that the Xiaomi clamshell foldable will be called the Xiaomi Mix Flip, of course.

ITHome has spotted the alleged Xiaomi vertical foldable on the IMEI database with model number 2311BPN23C. The device is listed with the moniker “Mix Flip”, confirming the previous rumors. There are no other interesting details to be found in the listing. While there’s no official confirmation from the brand, a leaker recently claimed the Mix Flip is launching sometime next year alongside the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4.

Previously, a GSMChina report shared design renders of the upcoming flip phone. We couldn’t help but point out that the camera is a reminder of the Xiaomi 11 Ultra, although it is much smaller in the case of Mix Flip. There are three camera sensors with LED flash. One of the cameras is said to offer 3X telephoto zoom.

The Xiaomi Mix Flip could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and feature a sleek design. We would expect it to be thin and light because that’s what Xiaomi likes to do with its foldables. In any case, take these early leaks with a pinch of salt. We are still many months away from the official launch, and a lot is bound to change. Stay tuned for updates.

Sep 5, 2023

The Galaxy A50 series line has been among the most-sold smartphones in recent years. This year’s Galaxy A54 5G is also quite a popular choice in the mid-range for Indian and global customers alike. With that in mind, Samsung has now introduced a new white color model in the Indian market, around 6 months after its initial launch.

The Samsung India website now features the White color choice for their product. It’s important to note that this color option is currently exclusive to the 256GB storage model, and unfortunately, it’s presently not available. While the official price for the 256GB variant is ₹38,999, Samsung states that the device will be accessible for ₹36,999. It’s probable that the brand may provide discounts through banks during the initial sale period.

Samsung Galaxy A54 5G specs

The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G boasts a 6.4-inch S-AMOLED display featuring a sharp FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Running on the One UI 5.1-based Android 13, it is powered by the Exynos 1380 chipset and comes with 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and storage options of up to 256GB on UFS 2.2.

On the camera front, it offers a 32-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and a rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 5-megapixel macro camera. The device is fueled by a substantial 5,000mAh battery, supported by 25W fast charging. It also features an under-display fingerprint sensor for security and comes with IP67-rated water resistance, making it dustproof and water-resistant.

Xiaomi dominates as China’s security camera online sales surge by 37%

By

Sep 5, 2023

In a recent report by Runto Technology, data from July 2023 indicates a robust growth in the Chinese online market for security cameras. Sales reached an impressive 2.03 million units, signifying a 36.5% year-on-year increase, despite a slight dip of 2.2% from the previous month.

Robust Growth in Online Sales: Delving into the Numbers

Financially, this translated to a revenue of 460 million yuan ($64.4 million) – a 41.1% increase from the previous year. Interestingly, there was only a marginal monthly decrease of 0.2%. When it came to the average market price online, the figures stood at 229 yuan ($31), marking a 7 yuan ($0.96) rise year-on-year and a 5 yuan ($0.68) increment from June 2023.

Brands have played a pivotal role in this growth. Xiaomi, the tech giant, took the lead in the surveillance camera online market, boasting a 16.8% share. This positioned the brand on the top, dominating its competitors.

Qiao An wasn’t far behind, securing second place with an 11.1% online market share. However, it’s worth noting that there was a significant difference between Qiao An and Xiaomi’s market presence. The subsequent positions saw Yoosee in third, TP-Link at fourth, and Hikvision rounding off the top five.

A noteworthy observation is the growing trend in outdoor surveillance cameras. Based on the same report, outdoor camera sales constituted 31% of the total market in July 2023, reflecting a 3% year-on-year growth.

These cameras are not only catering to home security needs but are increasingly becoming essential for the small-scale commercial sector. Chain stores, convenience stores, and small supermarkets are some of the beneficiaries, utilizing these cameras to enhance security management.

British audio brand Marshall is known for its premium devices. The audio maker has expanded its small range of TWS earphones which has only three offerings.

The MOTIF II ANC packs notable upgrades like an improved battery life, better connectivity, and audio features. It competes against premium TWS earphones offered by brands like Sony, Apple, Sennheiser, and more.

Marshal MOTIF II ANC specifications and features

The Marshall MOTIF II ANC are in-ear earphones with a stem and silicon ear tips that resemble the AirPods Pro. However, Marshall’s offering stands out due to the leather texture and knurled stems giving a premium feel. The bottom part of the stem is also accentuated in Gold color. The earphones are IPX5-certified water-resistant. Similar to most earphones in the market, the MOTIF II ANC offers touch controls for various functions like music playback, answer/reject calls, and even Spotify TAP feature. The company says that the audio device is made from 70 percent post-consumer recycled plastic

In terms of audio, the Marshall MOTIF II ANC are equipped with a 6mm dynamic driver with 108 dB driver sensitivity.

Apple’s foldable screen tech: New patent shows slight bend for drop safety

By

Sep 5, 2023

Apple, one of the few major smartphone manufacturers yet to launch a foldable screen device, has recently been associated with a notable patent. According to CNMO, on September 5th, the Tianyancha App revealed Apple Inc.’s new patent titled “Electronic Device with Durable Foldable Display”.

Safety First: How the Screen Protects Itself Upon Impact

The unique aspect of this patent is its safety feature: the screen slightly folds upon impact or vibrations. This ensures that when the device is dropped, the display won’t directly hit a hard surface, thus increasing its durability. The design focuses on a bending axis around which the screen folds and the display panel is equipped with a pixel array that projects images through the display cover layer.

A pivotal part of this technology is the display cover layer, which is crafted from a glass layer. This layer has a distinctive recess that extends along the bending axis. This recess creates a flexible, thinner portion in the glass layer, permitting it to fold or bend around the axis. For added impact resistance, the corners and edges of this cover layer have been thickened.

foldable iPhone concept — Concept iPhone Fold

The inclusion of display hinges and other structural adjustments ensures the screen remains flat when fully opened. However, during unforeseen drops or vibrations, it can automatically bend around its axis, offering protection to the screen.

While the revelation of this patent sparks excitement and curiosity among Apple enthusiasts, it’s crucial to remember that this doesn’t guarantee an imminent foldable-screen phone from Apple.

The company also recently filed a patent for a device with a rollable or scrollable display, suggesting that future products such as iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks could feature this innovation. Nevertheless, it undeniably showcases Apple’s advanced R&D pursuits in the realm of foldable screen tech.

Sep 5, 2023

DJI‘s Mini 3 Pro drone was released in May 2023 and it was a big hit. The drone is small and light, so it doesn’t need to be registered or certified in the United States. It also has a lot of great features, like obstacle avoidance and low-light camera performance. Now, DJI is working on a new drone called the Mini 4 Pro. Here are the details…

Everything we know so far based on leaked packaging of DJI Mini 4 Pro

DJI is working on a new compact drone called DJI Mini 4 Pro. Most recently, eetail packaging for the DJI Mini 4 Pro has leaked online and revealed some specs. The new drone is expected to be released in September 15. It will be similar to the Mini 3 Pro, but it will have some new features.

One of the biggest upgrades over the Mini 3 Pro is the new 48 MP camera. This is a significant improvement over the 12 MP camera on the previous model, and it will allow users to capture stunning photos and videos with incredible detail. The camera also has an f/1.7 aperture, which will let in more light for better low-light performance.

In addition to the upgraded camera, the Mini 4 Pro also has a number of other impressive features. It has omnidirectional active obstacle sensing, which means it can detect obstacles in all directions. This makes it a safer drone to fly, especially for beginners. The Mini 4 Pro also has a long battery life of 34 minutes, so you can fly for longer without having to worry about running out of power.

The DJI Mini 4 Pro weighs less than 250g, which means it is classified as a micro drone in many countries. This makes it a great option for travelers, as it does not require registration or licensing in many places. The Mini 4 Pro is expected to be released on September 15th, unfortunately, the price is currently unknown.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 launched with hybrid switches, 95 hours battery life

By

-

Sep 5, 2023

The first-gen Logitech G Pro Wireless was a major breakthrough for wireless gaming mice. It was the first to offer latency that matched wired mice, making it a popular choice among professional esports players. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight Wireless launched back in 2020 took things a step further by being even lighter and more portable than the original, while still maintaining the same great performance. Logitech has now launched a new mouse in the Superlight series, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2. So let’s talk about it here.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Specifications

This new wireless model has the same comfortable shape as its predecessor, but it has a few key improvements over its predecessor. Logitech has finally replaced the old micro-USB port on its predecessor with the modern USB-C port. This is a more modern and convenient connection type.

The new mouse uses “Lightforce” switches instead of fully mechanical switches. Lightforce switches are a hybrid design that combines the feel of mechanical switches with the speed and durability of optical switches. This should help to reduce the incidence of unintended double-clicks.

Logitech has also improved the battery life of the mice which is now rated at 95 hours per charge, up from 70 hours on Logitech G Pro X Superlight. This is a significant improvement, and it should make the mouse last longer between charges.

You also get a new “Hero 2” sensor which Logitech says offers better tracking performance. The Hero 2 sensor can track at up to 500 inches per second (IPS) and up to 32,000 DPI. It also has a dual array design that helps to improve tracking accuracy when the mouse is lifted or tilted.

Last but not least, the maximum polling rate has been increased from 1,000Hz to 2,000Hz. This means that the mouse can report its position to the computer 2,000 times per second, which can help to improve gaming performance. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 goes on sale today at a retail price of $159 from the company’s official site and Amazon.

Anbernic RG405V launch: Unisoc Tiger T618 powered Gameboy-like gaming handheld

Sep 5, 2023

Anbernic has just launched the new RG405V, which is its latest gaming handheld model. This device features a design that resembles the iconic Gameboy handheld. So let’s have a look at its specs, pricing, and features.

Anbernic RG405V Gaming Handheld

The new RG405V is the second entry in the RG405 series and follows after the RG405M. But unlike the Sony PSP design of the RG405M, the new model appears similar to the Gameboy. This model sports a 4-inch IPS LCD panel that has 640 x 480 pixel resolution. Under the hood, the Anbernic RG405V is equipped with the Unisoc Tiger 618 processor that is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC flash storage.

Notably, the Anbernic RG405V gaming handheld is powered by a 5,500mAh battery pack, which is 1,000mAh larger than the battery on the RG405M. The 22 percent larger battery size is likely possible thanks to its larger housing that has 145 x 105 x 35mm dimensions and weighs 282 grams. On a single full charge, the Anbernic RG405V should last for up to 9 hours, which is also 2 hours longer than the RG405M model.

Notably, the RG405V has hall joysticks, a six gyroscope, and a built-in fan to cool the Unisoc Tiger T618. It is available in multiple variants, which include Wood Grain, Gray, and a Transparent finish. Unfortunately, the Anbernic RG405V won’t feature a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion. This model has a price tag of 129.99 US Dollars. The company is also offering a 128GB and 256GB microSD card slot model for 144.99 US Dollars and 159.99 US Dollars respectively.

Huawei Watch GT 4 Pro to come with new ECG monitoring feature

Sep 5, 2023

Huawei is holding a product launch event in Barcelona on September 14th. The company will launch the new Huawei Watch GT 4 series wearable device at the event. The Watch GT 4 series is already rumored to have some exciting new features, including a brand new ECG (electrocardiogram) feature.

Tipster FixedFocus has revealed that the Huawei Watch GT 4 Pro will have this new ECG feature. This feature could be used to detect arrhythmia. For those unaware, an arrhythmia, also known as irregular heartbeat, is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm.

It is normal for your heart rate to speed up during physical activity and to slow down while resting or sleeping. However, arrhythmias can be serious and can lead to heart problems. The ECG feature works by recording the electrical activity of the heart. This information can be used to identify arrhythmias and other heart conditions. As a result, adding support for arrhythmia detection in the Huawei Watch GT 4’s ECG feature will help consumers get the most out of their health management.

Besides ECG, the Huawei Watch GT 4 is expected to have a new positioning system for sports activity, a waterproof speaker, and new service widgets with HarmonyOS 4. It will also have a stylish frame and a green color to match the Mate 60 series of smartphones.

From the launch poster shared by Huawei, we can also predict that the Watch GT 4 will have two different dials, one that looks like the Watch GT Cyber with colored labels and another that is round. Both dials seem to have custom watch faces designed for the smartwatch.

We will have to wait for the official launch to confirm all of these features, but the new ECG addition and other features make the Huawei Watch GT 4 series even more exciting.

BMW CEO Says European Automakers Can’t Win Price War With Chinese Rivals

The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. While established manufacturers like Volkswagen and BMW still produce gasoline and diesel cars, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly widespread and popular. In addition, Tesla and many Chinese companies are only producing in the EV category, accelerating this transformation. This is leading to a cold war, especially between the old and the new. BMW CEO Oliver Zipse recently revealed that in this struggle, the loser would be them. Here are the details…

Chinese Manufacturers Gaining Ground in Electric Vehicle Market

As you know, Europe has long been the heart of the automotive industry. Many manufacturers that are over 100 years old have become market leaders because they excel in engineering and have successful R&D departments. However, the rise of electric vehicles has changed this. Tesla and other new players have entered the market, ushering in a transformative era for the industry. This has been further complicated by competition from Chinese manufacturers, as well as Europe’s upcoming ban on gasoline and diesel engines.

Most recently, BMW CEO Oliver Zipse made a striking statement on this issue. Zipse said that the EU’s ban on new gasoline and diesel cars is pushing European automakers into a price war with Chinese rivals, which he said are “fundamentally impossible” to win. Zipse also said that the basic car segment will face two possible outcomes: either it will disappear, or it will no longer be dominated by European automakers.

He noted that Chinese automakers, such as BYD, are aggressively expanding into the electric vehicle market and are becoming increasingly ambitious. Zipse said that BMW is still not affected by the price war, but that it has already led to declining profits for many Chinese automakers. He pointed to Volkswagen, which has been dethroned as China’s best-selling automaker by BYD.

Zipse said that BMW has a number of advantages over Chinese automakers in the premium segment, where its brands are more popular. However, he acknowledged that European automakers will need to find new ways to compete in the basic car segment. It seems European automakers will need to find new ways to compete in the Chinese market.
