Vivo Y17s might launch soon in India as it gets BIS certified

Vivo Y series gets a new smartphone almost every month. Recently, the brand unveiled the Vivo Y77t in China with a Dimensity 7020 processor. The company also launched the Vivo Y78+ (t1) version earlier this week. Now, another Vivo smartphone has been spotted on BIS India as well as the Bluetooth SIG website, hinting imminent launch. Vivo Y17s could be a new mid-ranger from the brand. Here are the details.

The Vivo Y17s has recently been certified by the Bluetooth SIG, bearing the model number V2310. This certification confirms that the device has Bluetooth version 5.0. The same model number, V2310, has also been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Vivo-Y17

While the BIS listing does not disclose any specific details about the device, it does confirm that the Vivo Y17s is slated for a release in India. This is not the first time that the Vivo Y17s has been certified by any regulatory body. A previous TKDN listing, spotted by The Tech Outlook, reveals the device will only support 4G connectivity.

The handset’s launch date in India is still unknown, but it is likely to be released in the coming months. Judging by the moniker, the Vivo Y17s appears to be a refresh over the Vivo Y17. However, it’s also possible that these two phones are entirely unrelated, especially considering that the Vivo Y17 was launched four years ago.

Similar to other models within the Vivo Y series, the Vivo Y17s is likely to be a lower mid-range smartphone with modest specifications. One can expect a large display with at least a 90Hz refresh rate, along with a 5,000mAh battery and a less powerful MediaTek processor. Further details about the device are expected to emerge in the coming days, so stay tuned for updates!

Poco did not confirm the name of its upcoming D9200+ phone. Since most of the recent Poco phones are rebranded versions of the Redmi / Xiaomi phones available in other markets, it is likely that the said device could also be a rebranded edition of an existing Redmi / Xiaomi phone.

Redmi has recently released the Redmi K60 Ultra in the Chinese market. A tweaked version of the phone offering better cameras will debut as the Xiaomi 13T Pro in the global market. There is a possibility that the K60 Ultra may have a global variant with Poco branding.

Since the specs are good enough to consider it an F-series phone, it is likely that the device could be called the Poco F5 GT. Here is a look at the specs of the Redmi K60 Ultra.

Redmi K60 Ultra specifications

The Redmi K60 Ultra has a 6.67-inch OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

Volkswagen Has Started Production for the ID.7 Electric Sedan in Germany

Volkswagen has started on a new path in its journey towards electric mobility with the production for the all-new ID.7 sedan at the Emden plant in Germany. This move comes at an important time for the company, following a brief disruption due to insufficient demand for the ID.4 model earlier this June.

The ID.7 features a 77-kWh battery base option, with an option to upgrade to 86 kWh

The ID.7’s arrival holds a lot of importance for the German auto giant. With a small production run already launched, Volkswagen is counting on the ID.7, along with the ID.4, to enhance demand, and they are now accepting orders in Germany with deliveries likely to start this fall.

Volkswagen

Built on the MEB platform, the ID.7 brings promising features such as a 77-kilowatt-hour battery, expected to deliver a driving range of 382 miles in the European WLTP test cycle. An even more impressive 86 kWh battery option is in the pipeline, which could extend the range to 435 miles, highlighting Volkswagen’s commitment to efficiency and innovation.

Notably, the ID.7 will introduce the new APP550 electric motor, delivering up to 210 kW, marking an upgrade from the previously used 150 kW motor. This, coupled with possible all-wheel drive versions, signals an exciting advancement in electric vehicle dynamics.

However, the journey ahead depends on the demand for the ID.4 and the new ID.7. The recent production glitches have led to a cautious approach, with the third shift postponed for the fall. The ID.7’s scheduled launch in North America in 2024, along with local production for the Chinese market through joint ventures, highlight Volkswagen’s global ambitions in front of the world.

Have a Look at Apple’s Latest Ads for Apple Pay

Apple is pushing its mobile payment service, Apple Pay, in a big way, and they’re using the catchy tagline “#PayTheAppleWay.” So how does this work? For every $100 paid using the app, Apple gets 15 cents. It doesn’t sound like much, but this could make them $4 billion this year!

Apple Pay is poised to be the biggest competitor to Google Play soon

People love Apple Pay. Why? You don’t even need to pull out your iPhone if you have an Apple Watch. Just tap, and you’re done. No more dropping credit cards while everyone behind you gets impatient. Most stores accept it, so Apple is promoting it with TV ads. In one ad called “The Dance,” a woman struggles with her credit card, while another shopper easily uses Apple Pay. The message? You know it.

Another ad, called “Captcha,” shows a woman failing to prove she’s human online. She gives up and finds another website where she can pay with Apple Pay. Just one tap, and she’s done!

The “Pay the Apple Way” campaign is happening in the U.S. and the U.K. The company’s making this big push because the payment service is part of their second-largest business, Services, which made $21.21 billion last quarter. That’s an 8.2% increase from last year!

This new thing isn’t about selling more iPhones. It’s about getting people to use the service regularly. The company isn’t just promoting a way to pay; it’s changing the way we shop and pay for things every day. It’s more than a business for the trillion dollar company; it’s a big step into the future.

Tesla Gets way Stricter Around Employees Leaking Cybertruck Images

Tesla is now taking firm action against employees leaking images and videos of the Cybertruck. A leaked internal email, posted on Twitter, has revealed that the company is warning employees and contractors of immediate “site removal” if caught filming inside Gigafactory Texas.

The Employees will be removed from the site if they are caught taking pictures of the truck

The measures are not unprecedented, as protecting proprietary information is a common practice among corporations. However, it does signal the lengths to which companies like Tesla are willing to go to protect their innovations.

The leaked email reportedly stated the possibility of issuing photo passes or stickers to appropriate personnel in the future, a measure to balance security concerns with business needs.

Cybertruck

In the past months, there have been numerous leaks from the factory, providing enthusiasts with insights into the progress of the Cybertruck’s production. With production expected to start later this year and the first handover event possibly happening towards the end of Q3 2023, it appears that Tesla is tightening its control over information flow.

These measures raise important questions about the balance between employees’ rights and corporate security. At least one ruling by the National Labor Relations Board has upheld employers’ restrictions on cell phone usage on premises in specific sections, a sign of the broader acceptance of such practices.

The Cybertruck, with 1.9 million reservations and anticipated to have a significant impact on Tesla’s brand, is undoubtedly a critical project for the company. As it moves closer to production, the focus on security is likely to remain a prominent aspect of its development.

Microsoft Unveils All New Skins for its Xbox Consoles

Xbox has announced a new addition to their gaming accessories: the Series X Console Wraps. Aimed at both affordability and customization, this launch may change how gamers personalize their consoles.

The Xbox skins catalog will definitely expand in the future to include newer designs

Available for pre-order starting today, there are three designs to choose from. The Starfield design costs $49.99, while the Arctic Camo and Mineral Camo options are priced at $44.99 each. These wraps are set to launch in the US, Canada, and Europe in the coming months. The wraps are carefully designed to fit the Series X console without affecting its performance.

One noteworthy aspect of these console wraps is their nod to sustainability. By allowing gamers to modify their existing consoles, Xbox is promoting a greener alternative to buying new, special edition consoles.

The Starfield-inspired wrap, with its high-tech feel, offers a unique twist on console customization. On the other hand, the Arctic and Mineral Camo designs provide subtler but equally engaging options for gamers looking to add some flair to their consoles.

The wraps’ introduction offers a fresh way for gamers to express individuality without a hefty price tag. It also aligns with a growing trend in the industry towards more eco-friendly choices. It’s worth watching how this product is received by the gaming community, as it might influence how customization and sustainability are approached in the future.

YouTube is Taking Steps to Earn Revenue From AI-Generated Music

YouTube is actively embracing the future of AI-generated music, announcing collaboration with entities like Universal Music Group (UMG) to lay down principles guiding this innovation. This initiative indicates a determination to advance while safeguarding artists’ rights.

The music giant is acknowledging that AI isn’t just a novelty but an essential part of the modern music ecosystem. They’re developing a Music AI Incubator, with input from artists such as Rosanne Cash, Yo Gotti, and Frank Sinatra’s estate, to guide their path forward. This collaboration symbolizes an intention to blend technology and creativity, reflecting the evolving nature of music.

YouTube

A cornerstone of this initiative is ensuring protection against copyright infringement while offering opportunities for interested partners. YouTube’s existing Content ID system will likely be expanded, and the company aims to reinforce content policies and safety measures in response to the AI wave.

However, the specifics remain nebulous. With more details to be revealed, the current principles seem more like an outline of the path YouTube intends to follow. It signifies an opening chapter in what could be a revolution in how music is made and monetized.

This move also reflects the broader industry’s acceptance of AI. The Beatles are exploring a ‘final’ song using AI, and UMG itself is delving into AI-created soundscapes. YouTube’s guidelines are a step towards legitimizing and profiting from legal AI creations without running afoul of artists and labels.

James Webb Telescope Gets us New Images of the Ring Nebula, and They are Magical

Discovered in 1779 during a quest for comets, the Ring Nebula, also known as M57 or NGC 6720, has remained a prominent astronomical figure. Once mistaken as distant worlds due to its appearance, the Ring Nebula represents a celestial beauty just 2,500 light-years away from Earth.

The telescope used infrared light sensors to reveal intricate details of the galaxy

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has now brought us closer to this stunning object. It’s not just a marvel to look at; the images captured by JWST give us information regarding the very process of stellar life and death.

James Webb

In the new images, the NIRCam, designed to detect near-infrared light, displays the intricate details of the nebula, including 20,000 dense globules rich in molecular hydrogen. The MIRI, on the other hand, reveals around ten concentric arcs beyond the nebula’s outer edge, unfolding an astronomical puzzle.

The history of the Ring Nebula’s observation signifies more than its physical components. It’s a symbol of human curiosity and advancement. From the early misconceptions that led to its planetary nebula label to the advanced technology of JWST, our pursuit of understanding this phenomenon parallels the growth of astronomical science itself.

Today, the Ring Nebula stands as a symbol of astronomical archaeology. The colorful main ring, the remnants of a dying star on its path to becoming a white dwarf, is a vivid reminder of our cosmic connection. In studying the nebula, we’re not merely observing a distant object; we are peering into the past, present, and future of the universe itself.

Realme’s next flagship smartphone is launching on August 28 in China. Realme GT 5 is expected to bring the same 240W extreme charging tech as its predecessor.

While we wait for the launch, Realme GT 5 has appeared on the Geekbench website, running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood. Here are the details.

The upcoming Realme GT 5 smartphone, identified by its model number RMX3820, recently made an appearance on the Geekbench database, revealing some noteworthy specifications. The device, running on the Android 13-based operating system, has its chip’s motherboard codenamed “Kalama.”

The chipset employs a 1+4+3 architecture. The primary core operates at 3.19 GHz, while the performance cores maintain a clock speed of 2.80 GHz, and the base cores run at 2.02 GHz. This is likely the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It integrates the Adreno 740 chipset and offers a variant with a generous 16GB of RAM.

Realme has started to tease the device in China. In a recent teaser, the company revealed the GT 5 will have a “Miracle Glass” finish. While we don’t know exactly what this entails, Realme previously claimed the finish is so hard to achieve it makes the suppliers go crazy. We might be in for something interesting.

Realme GT 5 is said to have a 6.74-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate.

Acer Predator X32Q FS 4K Mini-LED gaming monitor with 165Hz refresh rate launched in China

Acer has launched a new 32-inch Mini LED gaming monitor in the Chinese market called the Acer Predator X32Q FS. Other than being good for gaming, this monitor can also be used in creative workflows due to its high color range coverage. Let’s look at it in more detail.

Acer Predator X32Q FS

Acer Predator X32Q FS specs

The Acer Predator X32Q FS is a 32-inch gaming monitor with a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160). It has a high refresh rate of up to 165Hz and a fast response time of 1ms for smooth and clear gaming. What makes it stand out is its advanced backlight technology with 1152 Mini LED zones, earning it VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, which means it delivers fantastic contrast and brightness.

Compared to a regular IPS monitor, Mini LED IPS monitors offer better contrast and deeper blacks than regular IPS monitors. This is because mini LED technology allows for more precise control over the backlighting. This can result in a better viewing experience when watching movies or playing games that have dark scenes. Another key advantage is the elimination of backlight bleeding, which translates to better immersion.

Back to the specs, this monitor is also great for color accuracy, supporting 10-bit color depth and covering 99% of the AdobeRGB color range. It’s compatible with both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync for tear-free gaming.

In terms of connectivity, it has DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB Type-C, audio in/out, and four USB 3.0 ports. Plus, it supports KVM switching and has built-in 7W speakers. You can adjust the monitor’s position easily, thanks to its tilt, height, swivel, and rotate options.

Pricing & availability

Currently, Acer is only selling the Predator X32Q FS in the Chinese market for CNY 4,999 ($687). The monitors will start shipping near the end of October. There is currently no word on the global availability, however, we can expect more news to arrive in the coming days.
