Sep 1, 2023

Vivo is working on a new smartphone dubbed Vivo X100, and based on the information that’s coming out, it appears that the phone will come with an impressive set of camera sensors.

According to the latest leak from Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Vivo X100 smartphone will come with a 64-megapixel camera sensor with a periscope module.

It is said that there will be a 100mm periscope lens with a f/2.5 aperture tuned for shooting during low-light conditions. It will also have an OmniVision OV64B 64-megapixel 1/2” sensor with 0.7µm native pixels and support for 4-in-1 binning.

The company is reportedly collaborating with Zeiss and will be using Vario-Appo-Sonnar lenses on the smartphone. The primary camera sensor on the device is expected to be a customized sensor for Sony, likely to be a 53-megapixel 1/1.43” sensor.

The Vivo X100 lineup is said to have three phones in the series —X100, X100 Pro, and X100 Pro+. While the X100 and X100 Pro are expected to be available sometime around November this year, the X100 Pro+, the top-end model in the lineup, could be released early next year.

There’s also a possibility that the smartphone lineup could also come with the company’s own Vivo V3 6nm image chip along with a new Zeiss T* coating technology.

Tesla Unveils the Refreshed Model 3, Features New LED Lamps & More Range

Sep 1, 2023

After years of taking the EV market by storm, Tesla’s Model 3 is ready to win over more of the mainstream crowd with its recent updates. Codenamed Project Highland internally, the revamped Model 3 aims to strike a balance between high-tech and daily drivability.

The New Tesla Model 3 has a distinct, cleaner look

The first thing you’ll notice is how Tesla has fine-tuned the design. The front end sports new character lines and more modern headlamp housing, lending it a cleaner, almost utilitarian look. The sharper lines extend to the hood, making the car look both stylish and functional. Gone are the days when the Tesla logo dominated the rear end; now, the company’s name is spelled out, flanked by new, eye-catching C-shaped taillights.

The focus isn’t just on the looks; it’s also about performance. Tesla’s Italian press release underlined improvements in aerodynamics for better range and quieter rides. These updates are currently available for the rear-wheel-drive and long-range versions, targeting the majority of everyday drivers rather than just tech enthusiasts or luxury seekers.

New color options like Ultra Red and Stealth Gray add to the car’s mainstream appeal. But it’s not just the aesthetics; Tesla has made strategic moves to make this the go-to electric vehicle for a wide range of consumers.

As we steer into a future where electric vehicles are the norm rather than the exception, Tesla’s updated Model 3 could be the frontrunner in making EVs more accessible and appealing to the average driver. It’s no longer just a car for early adopters and Tesla fans; it’s shaping up to be the electric car of choice for the everyman.

Could this be the most anticipated EV of the year? It certainly has the potential. And with these enhancements, Tesla might just have widened its net to capture a broader market.

Samsung is Rolling out Wear OS 4 Update to the Galaxy Watch 5 & 5 Pro

Sep 1, 2023

Samsung now lets you switch to your paired phone without resetting the Smartwatch

Samsung’s version of the Wear OS 4, dubbed “One UI 5 Watch,” packs in features that focus on convenience and wellbeing. Users get easy controls for connected Galaxy Buds and a useful widget to monitor battery levels across multiple devices. It’s a one-stop-shop for connected living, making device management as straightforward as it gets.

But what sets Samsung apart is the ability to switch your paired phone without resetting the smartwatch. That’s right: no more tedious resetting when you swap out your smartphone. Your settings and data stay right where they are, making it a seamless transition. This feature alone could tip the scales in favor of Samsung for those who are often juggling between different devices.

Meanwhile, Pixel Watch owners are left playing the waiting game. Though rumors of a beta program for the Pixel Watch have circulated, nothing concrete has come out yet. By the time the Pixel Watch receives the Wear OS 4 update, Samsung Galaxy watches will have already reaped the benefits for over four months.

In a space where software updates are as crucial as the hardware, Samsung’s quick adoption of the Wear OS 4 update gives it a notable edge. It not only provides an enhanced user experience but also sends a message: Samsung is more agile at delivering what consumers want, even if the software originates from Google. So, while Google is still tuning up for the race, it appears Samsung has already taken a victory lap.

Google Chrome will Let you Copy Frames from Videos with its New Feature

By

Sep 1, 2023

Google Chrome is unveiling a feature designed to make your life a smidgen easier, or so it seems. The browser now lets you copy video frames directly, eliminating the need for screenshot functions that often result in lower-quality images with that pesky video progress bar. Sounds ideal, right? Not so fast.

You still cannot save the copied frame directly to your desktop

The implementation of this seemingly easy feature is less smooth than you’d hope. On YouTube, for example, it takes not one but two right-clicks to access the option. That’s an additional hoop to jump through just to capture a still image from a video. Once you’ve managed that, Chrome allows you to paste the frame in specific text fields, like Google Docs, or even in Apple’s Notes app. The catch? You can’t save it directly to your desktop.

Google Chrome Read Aloud Feature Coming Soon

Moreover, the feature is not yet versatile enough for universal application. While it works fairly well on YouTube, streaming services seem to be a whole other ball game. Restrictions are still in place that hamper the feature’s functionality on platforms other than YouTube.

So, is Chrome’s “Copy Video Frame” feature a half-baked innovation or a stepping stone towards something truly useful? The jury’s still out on that. For now, it offers a specialized solution that needs a bit of tweaking before it can become a part of your daily web-browsing toolkit. Expect Google to make adjustments as user feedback pours in, but until then, maybe keep that screenshot function handy. Rolling out today for Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS, the feature may save you a few clicks but it’s clearly got a way to go before it becomes an indispensable tool.

Samsung Rolls Out New Firmware Update to Improve Audio Quality and Add New Features to Older Devices

Aug 31, 2023

Samsung continues to expand its product lineup, but the company doesn’t neglect to support its existing products either. In fact, many Samsung products gain new capabilities through subsequent software updates. The latest example of this is with the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Thanks to the most recent firmware update, these earbuds, which were introduced at last year’s Unpacked event, have received various improvements and new features. Here are the details…

Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Firmware Update Improves Audio Quality and LE Audio Support

Samsung has released a new firmware update, R510XXU0AWF4, for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Notably, the company didn’t just fix existing issues with this update; it also added new features to the year-old earbuds. Many people interpret this as a reflection of the value that Samsung places on its current users, which is a fair assessment. Very few companies other than Apple regularly update their products with software improvements. The fact that Samsung is one of them is a significant development for the industry. So what else does the update change?

The update improves the LE Audio capabilities of the earbuds, which means that they can now transmit audio over Bluetooth LE. This can be useful for reducing power consumption or for connecting to devices that do not support Bluetooth Classic. It also improves the audio quality of the earbuds, especially when listening to music or watching videos. This is thanks to the use of a new audio codec called Samsung Seamless Codec.

The update also adds a new feature called “Sound Assistant”. This feature allows users to adjust the sound output of the earbuds based on their surroundings. For example, they can make the sound louder in noisy environments or quieter in quiet environments. Of course, this update is not just for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. The same update will also bring audio improvements to some Samsung smart TVs, as well as the Galaxy Book3 Ultra, Book3 Pro, Book3 Pro 360, and Book3 360, which are all part of the company’s product lineup.

Apple Testing 3D Printing to Reduce Price of Steel Apple Watch Series 9 Models

Aug 31, 2023

Technology continues to advance and make our lives easier. This progress brings things that might have once been prohibitively expensive or nearly impossible right into the comfort of our homes. For example, consider how much it would have cost you 20 years ago to manufacture a product you designed yourself, using cheap material like plastic. Today, thanks to 3D printers, you can do this at affordable prices.

People from all around the world are using this technology for various purposes, from creating figurines to making objects they need. I’m even thinking of redesigning the legs of my chairs so that my robotic vacuum cleaner can easily go under them and clean. It seems that it’s not just ordinary users who are looking to benefit from this technology. According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is testing 3D printing for the steel cases of their Watch Series 9 models. Here are the details…

Apple Testing 3D Printing for Steel Apple Watch Series 9 Models

Of course, when you hear “Apple and 3D printer” don’t think of the home-use products sold online. The company has been conducting R&D for a long time to accelerate production and reduce costs. Industrial 3D Steel printers could be the solution that the US tech giant needs. In fact, Mark Gurman has mentioned that this technology could be used in the production of the Apple Watch Series 9, which is set to be introduced at the iPhone 15 event on September 12.

Traditionally, Apple produces its steel Watch models using a process called forging. This involves creating small steel blocks slightly larger than the finished product. The metal is then cut to the required shape using CNC, leaving off cuts. 3D printing, on the other hand, uses a “powdered substance” which is shaped using heat and pressure into something closer to the final product. The resulting case “feels like steel” with some additional milling required to finalize the case.

Latest reports says that Apple is still in the early stages of testing 3D printing for its Apple Watch models. It is not yet clear if the new method will be used in the final products. However, the report says that Apple is interested in the potential benefits of 3D printing, such as reduced waste and faster manufacturing times.

It is worth noting that Apple is not the only company exploring the use of 3D printing for smartwatches. Companies, such as Samsung and Fossil, are also developing 3D printing techniques for their smartwatches. It is unclear for now who will be the leader in this technology.

Infinix quietly hikes GT10 Pro’s price in India

By

Aug 31, 2023

Infinix’s latest gaming-focused smartphone, the GT 10 Pro, was launched in India earlier in August to much fanfare. The handset offered solid specifications for under ₹20,000, and many were impressed with its flashy design. However, the GT 10 Pro is no longer available at its launch price. Infinix has quietly increased the price by ₹1,000.

The Infinix GT 10 Pro was launched in India for ₹19,999. The price remained the same when it first went on sale on August 10. But as of writing this, the phone is listed on Flipkart for ₹20,999. Twitter/X user Yash (@i_hsay) tipped us off about this unannounced price increase, claiming Infinix has done this before with other smartphones.

Infinix has not given a reason for the price increase. It is unusual for companies to raise the prices of their products after they have been released, but it does happen sometimes. For example, Nothing last year increased the price of Ear (1) price from $99 to $150, citing rising inflation and a weaker British pound as reasons.

In the case of the Infinix GT 10 Pro, we haven’t received any justification from the brand. The company might be trying to offset the increasing costs of components, or perhaps it’s just an attempt to maximize profit margins on the smartphone.

It’s worth noting the Rs. 1000 increase in the price does not make the Infinix GT 10 Pro a bad phone. With a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 108MP primary camera, the handset is still a good option in its price range. Not to mention, the GT 10 Pro’s Dimensity 8050 chip and flashy design make it an affordable Nothing Phone (2) alternative.

Aug 31, 2023

While Google has yet to release the stable Android 14 build, OnePlus went ahead and announced that its custom software skin based on the latest version of Android will launch on September 25. This means that stable OxygenOS 14 builds could start rolling out as early as next month. The new version of OxygenOS will also bring what the company calls the Trinity Engine. Here are the details.

OxygenOS 14 is scheduled to be released globally on September 25. OnePlus has not yet announced whether there will be a global event to announce the release, but the company claims that OxygenOS 14 will be one of the first operating systems based on Android 14. This release is supposed to introduce a variety of new features that are designed to improve the overall user experience.

“OnePlus has been committed to delivering a fast, smooth and steady OxygenOS to our users”, said Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus, “Powered by OnePlus’ latest innovations, OxygenOS 14 will be the most intelligent and intuitive software product in OnePlus’ history.”

OnePlus’ new software skin, OxygenOS 14, will debut with Trinity Engine, a new performance platform that promotes integration between hardware and software. Trinity Engine is claimed to address “industry-wide challenges in terms of power consumption efficiency, multi-tasking capability, and sustained fast and smooth performance.”

OnePlus uses a number of terms to describe what is under the hood of Trinity Engine. These include CPU Vitalization, RAM Vitalization, ROM Vitalization, HyperBoost, HyperTouch, and HyperRendering. While we do not know exactly what these keywords represent, it is expected that Trinity Engine will boost gaming performance on phones.
