Mar 21, 2023

Xiaomi is really making a big move into the automobile industry. The company set up a new facility in Beijing, which includes the R&D and sales headquarters, and is aiming to release its first car by 2024. The R&D team has been hard at work, as they’ve recently patented a new automatic driving method that matches the driver with a mode that meets their safe driving level. Here are the details.

As revealed by the abstract of the patent, it is related to automatic driving technology and proposes a method for automatically matching the driver with an appropriate driving mode that meets their safe driving level. The abstract highlights that the method starts by determining that the vehicle is in automatic driving mode and then collecting driver information during driving. Based on the collected driver information, the method determines the driver’s target safe driving level, which could depend on factors such as their driving habits, skills, and experience.

Once the target safe driving level has been determined, the method matches the driver with an automatic driving mode that meets their target safe driving level, and authorizes the operation authority of that mode. By doing so, the method aims to ensure the driver’s safety by providing them with an automatic driving mode that is appropriate for their driving abilities.

This is a promising development, especially as Xiaomi is set to begin mass production of its cars in the first half of next year. While it remains unclear whether the patent will be integrated into Xiaomi’s upcoming car models, it’s evident that the company is taking significant steps toward enhancing the safety and reliability of its vehicles.

Roborock has released the self-cleaning sweeping and mopping robot P10 in China. The new robot joins the G20 which was also released at the same time. The P10 offers flagship-level cleaning solutions for both sweeping and mopping. The new Stone robot sweeper comes at a lower starting price than the G20.

Roborock self-cleaning Sweeping and Mopping Robot P10

As with the Roborock G210, the P10 robot offers two versions – manual water change and automatic water change. The robot has a spiral rubber brush design that is less likely to entangle air during operation. It offers a suction power of 5,500 Pa and can remove dirt inside crevices on the floor. The P10 robot has a high-speed dual-rotation constant-humidity mopping system with a 200rpm maximum speed. It can easily overcome stubborn stains stuck on the floor with its high-speed action.

The floor mopping module can be adjusted up to a height of 10mm. This prevents the carpet from being wet and avoids secondary pollution after mopping. The P10 has a full-feature base station with automatic self-cleaning and drying features for the system. The P10 imitates the dynamic cleaning mode of a washing machine, with three stages of cleaning. These are pre-washing, rinsing, and drying.

The speed and water volume change to match the stage of cleaning. The P10 is equipped with the RR mason 10.0 system for effective obstacle avoidance, in combination with multi-sensor fusion technology.

The Stone (Roborock) self-cleaning sweeping robot P10 is available from JD.com starting at 3,299 yuan (~$480) for the manual water change version. The automatic water change model of the P10 is priced at 3,899 yuan (~$567).

Mar 21, 2023

Xiaomi’s ecological chain partner Roborock has unveiled the Roborock G20 Robot Vacuum Cleaner with four-zone double-vibration mopping. The new Roborock self-cleaning robot features a 6,000 Pa suction for top-level cleaning. It comes in two options – manual or automatic water change versions. The Roborock G20 sweeping robot is equipped with a powerful dual-drive module with improved sweeping and dragging functions.

The G20 comes with innovative double-helix rubber brushes and dual-vibration mopping in four zones. It offers improvements in cleaning difficult locations within the room effectively. The added power provided by the suction system of the G20 ensures that all areas of the room are efficiently cleaned. The Roborock G20 can simultaneously shovel or suction the dirt to achieve a double roll and double shovel effect. The hair treatment effect of the new robot is stronger than the single brush featured in previous iterations of the robot sweeper.

The Roborock G20 adopts an oblique spiral design that effectively prevents dirt, including hair strands, from affecting its operation. Any hair strands wrapped around the main brush are transferred to the hair storage bin, essentially bypassing manual cleaning of the compartment.

The Roborock G20 is the first to feature the four-zone dual-vibration mopping, with an enlarged vibration area. The 3000rpm motor of the gadget provides high-frequency vibration that effectively reaches all previously difficult-to-reach areas like deep floor gaps and rough porcelain surfaces.

The G20 has a high-energy base station and offers automatic mop washing, automatic drying, dust collection, cleaning, and water replenishment. It also offers an automatic anti-bacterial function among other features. The self-cleaning module is significantly faster than the previous generation of Roborock models.

The Roborock G20 sweeping robot is available on retail platforms in China such as JD.com. The price of the manual water change version is 4,999 yuan (~$727) while the automatic water change version retails at 5,599 yuan (~$815).

Motorola stands out as one of the few smartphone manufacturers that offer stylus support in their devices. The Moto G Stylus from last year gained popularity among users who enjoy jotting down notes or sketches on their phones. This year, the brand is preparing to release the 2023 edition of the Moto G Stylus, which is rumored to feature various upgrades. Though an official launch is yet to be confirmed, marketing images of the device have surfaced online, unveiling its design and specifications.

Marketing images of the upcoming Moto G Stylus (2023), shared by The Tech Outlook, showcase the smartphone with a curved back and a squircle camera module. It can be seen that the device has a dual camera setup and an LED flash. The text on the camera module says the main camera of the device will be 50MP. On the front, the smartphone will get a hole-punched display with thin bezels all around.

The stylus casing is visible on the bottom of the smartphone alongside the speaker grille and USB-C Type C port. Some readers will be happy to know that the handset also features a 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom.

The publication says the Moto G Stylus (2023) will have a 6.5-inch display that offers an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It could have 64GB of native storage and a microSD card for expanding the storage even further. Further, the handset will be fueled by a 5,000mAh battery, likely with 10W charging support.

The rear camera setup of the handset is claimed to be capable of capturing detailed portrait shots, close-up shots, and low-light images. While the report did not reveal the processor of the handset, a recent Geekbench listing suggested it will be powered by the Helio G88 chipset under the hood.

Earlier this month, Motorola launched the mid-range Moto G73 smartphone in the Indian market with a decent processor and 120Hz display. Now, it has been reported that the Lenovo-owned company may soon follow it up with another G series device— Moto G13. The handset will likely be priced lower than the G73 and offer an FHD+ display with a 5,000mAh battery. While we wait for an official announcement, a report has seemingly revealed the India launch timeline of the phone.

91Mobiles Hindi, citing retail sources, claims that Motorola will launch the Moto G13 smartphone in India as early as next week. The publication did not reveal the exact date and there’s no official confirmation from the brand yet. Moto G13 is already official in the global market and it carries a price tag of EUR 179.

The Indian pricing of the handset is still anyone’s guess. We expect it to cost less than Rs 12,000 in the country. This pricing will make the Moto G13 an ideal choice for those who are looking for a reliable budget smartphone with clean software. It will likely have the same specifications as its global counterpart, meaning we could see a 6.5-inch FHD+ IPS LCD panel with a 90Hz high refresh rate, 1600 X 720 pixels resolution, and 20:9 aspect ratio.

Under the hood, it could get a MediaTek Helio G85 processor and a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging (you read that right). The 4G handset should run Android 13 OS out of the box and include Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, USB Type-C, and NFC. Moto G13 is expected to get 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB internal storage, which can be further expanded via a microSD card.

It could get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security. For photography, the Moto G13 may feature a 50MP primary camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro unit. The front of the handset could have an 8MP snapper for selfies and video chats.

Apple iPhone 15 to feature USB-C port, but it’s not all good news

The iPhone 15 series is set to launch later this year and Apple has long been rumored to finally adopt the USB Type-C standard. While many would rejoice this change, it appears that there is a big catch as per a known analyst.

In the current smartphone market, the Cupertino based giant is the only brand that does not feature this port format on its handset offering (although some of its other product line does feature this standard). For those unaware, Apple is making this notable change to comply with the European Union’s ruling to set a standard port across the industry. While we already know that the company will be adopting USB-C for its iPhones, known analyst Ming Chi-Kuo believes that it isn’t all good news.

Kuo has just shared some predictions, which claim that the iPhone 15 lineup’s USB-C port will come with certain restrictions. He believes that the company will physically restrict the cables that users will be able to use with the new port. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first report of Apple possibly “sabotaging” the USB-C port on the iPhone. A previous rumor had also hinted at various limitations on the new USB Type-C ports.

Apparently, only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be equipped with the USB 3.2 ports. On the other hand, the base iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus might rely on the slower and older USB 2.0 standard. Another aspect affected by this is data transfer speeds, with only the higher end models features high data transmission similar to the iPad, which only supports high 40GB/s data transfer on more expensive models. Meanwhile, the low tier iPads support just 480Mbps.

Last week, HMD Global launched the Nokia C12 in India. The main highlight of this smartphone is its 3,000mAh removable battery. Today, the company has debuted the Nokia C12 Pro in the country.

The Pro model is almost the same as the regular version. The only difference between the two is the battery capacity.

The Nokia C12 Pro arrives with a 4,000mAh removable battery. This means its battery capacity is 1,000mAh more than the vanilla Nokia C12.

For a larger battery, HMD Global is charging ₹1,000 extra over the non-pro model that retails at ₹5,999. Thus, you have to shell out ₹6,999 for the base 2GB + 64GB variant and ₹7,499 for the higher 3GB + 64GB version.

Talking about specs, the Nokia C12 Pro flaunts a 6.3-inch display (LCD) with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels (HD+) and a dewdrop notch. It is powered by an outdated 28nm Unisoc SC9863A1 chipset and boots Android 12 Go Edition.

HMD Global guarantees at least 2 years of regular security updates but no Android updates. Interestingly, the company is offering a 12-month replacement guarantee.

Further, the device comes with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. There’s support for single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a MicroSD card slot, and a MicroUSB port.

Last but not least, the Nokia C12 Pro can be availed in either Light Mint, Charcoal, or Dark Cyan color options.
