Tesla Under Investigation in China After Fatal Crash

Feb 20, 2023

On Friday, a Tesla Model 3 EV crashed in East China’s Zhejiang Province causing one death and a critical injury. Though the exact reason for the crash is unknown, there are allegations that the accident happened due to a braking system failure in the EV.

The incident occurred on February 17, when a Tesla Model 3 which was speeding on an urban road, crashed into a bus. Before crashing into the bus, the vehicle also hit an electric bicycle and several cars on the road. Surveillance footage shows that during the crash, the brake lights were not engaged on the EV. The crash was so severe that it instantly killed the passenger, critically injured the driver, and damaged three other cars in the vicinity.

Tesla has agreed to fully cooperate with the local authorities during the investigation. Tesla China also released a statement saying, “We are very sad about this accident. We fully understand everyone’s concern about this accident. Currently, the local traffic police are investigating the cause of the crash, and we will do our best to cooperate with the authorities. We also ask everyone not to believe or spread unconfirmed information”.

Tesla is having a hard time in China as the company is facing tough competition from homegrown EV makers like BYD. The fatal crash on Friday has added to the company’s woes as consumers are now questioning the safety of EVs. After the crash, the company has seen a drop in its sales as rumors and allegations state that there is something wrong with Tesla EV’s braking system. Recently more than 300000 Tesla EVs were recalled in the US after authorities found that they posed a crash risk. Though the company has rolled out an OTA update to mitigate the crash risk, Tesla’s reputation has taken a hit after the US investigation reports.

Tesla has faced similar allegations in the past, where customers have complained of braking issues and brake failure. However, investigations have always come out in favor of the company, as in all previous cases authorities found that it was the driver’s mistake that caused the accident.

Tesla, which was the number one EV seller in the world, was recently dethroned by the Chinese EV company BYD. China is the biggest EV market in the world, with a projected revenue of $190.40 billion in 2023. The country reported a 113% growth in its EV sale, a staggering figure as compared to North America and Europe. China’s BYD overtook Tesla last year to be the number one Electric Vehicle seller in the world. Hence, it is obvious that Tesla will keep an eye on China and its growing EV market.

During the Q4 2022 earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that Chinese workers worked the smartest and hardest of all and Chinese EV makers are the biggest rival to Tesla. Hence the company is working harder to recapture its market in China by introducing price cuts and other benefits exclusive to Chinese customers.

Regardless, the manufacturer has begun releasing the S23 Ultra device’s first firmware update. The most recent update adds a security patch for February 2023 to the device, as well as other minor tweaks. For the issues reported by the reviewers, the update may contain a fix.

The Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra are receiving the February 2023 security patch. The most recent update has the build number S91xBXXU1AWBD. The latest update is currently being rolled out to European variants of the smartphone. Other regional versions should receive the update soon. The update is usually released to all global regions within a few days. Unlocked smartphones will receive updates ahead of carrier-locked models, particularly in the United States. The most recent update is 567MB in size.

If you have a Galaxy S23 series phone and live in Europe, you can now check for the most recent update by navigating to Settings » Software update and choosing Download and install. If you haven’t yet received the update, we advise you to give it a few more days before downloading it to your smartphone manually. It can take some time for all devices to get the update because it is being rolled out in stages.

The user interface and performance are also expected to be enhanced with the new update. This will speed up the phone’s performance and make it more responsive to user input, making it simpler to use. Additionally, the update is anticipated to feature security upgrades that will protect the device and user data from malicious assaults and other security risks. So that was all there was to the subject. Many thanks for reading this post all the way through.

OnePlus Foldable Will Not Be a Rebranded Version of the Oppo Find N2

Feb 20, 2023

OnePlus will enter the foldable smartphone market with the launch of its own foldable device later this year. The company revealed its plans during its Cloud 11 event, where it also announced the launch of its highly anticipated OnePlus 11 flagship smartphone.

Digital Chat Station, a popular leaker on Weibo, has shared more details about the upcoming device, revealing that it will have a large display with a 2K display resolution, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.

This suggests that the new OnePlus foldable will not be a rebranded Oppo Find N2, which has a folding screen resolution of 1,792 x 1,920, closer to FHD+ than 2K. However, it is possible that the OnePlus foldable and Oppo’s foldable Find N2 may share similar features.

While fans eagerly await the new device’s arrival, they will have to be patient, as the official launch is expected no earlier than July. Until then, we will have to wait for more information about the specs, design, and features of OnePlus’ highly anticipated foldable phone.

OnePlus will be following in the footsteps of its sister companies OPPO and Vivo, both of which have already released their own foldable devices in China. As all three brands are owned by BBK Electronics, it is not surprising that OnePlus is now entering the foldable smartphone segment.

OPPO, which entered the foldable market in 2021, recently unveiled the Find N2 and Find N2 Flip in China. By launching its own foldable device, OnePlus is poised to compete with other major OEMs such as Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi. The company’s reputation for delivering high-quality, affordable smartphones is likely to make its foldable device an attractive option for consumers looking to try out the latest technology.

With the foldable smartphone market still in its early stages, it remains to be seen how well OnePlus’s upcoming device will fare. However, with the backing of BBK Electronics and the success of its sister companies’ foldable devices, OnePlus is well-positioned to make a splash in this exciting new segment of the smartphone market.

Feb 20, 2023

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 14 at the Xiaomi 13 series launch event in China in December. Since then, the company has been rolling out the latest software for its devices worldwide.

However, the rollout has been limited to smartphones for now. Thankfully, that’s changing now as the company has started pushing the tablet version of the software (MIUI 14 Pad).

Xiaomi had earlier revealed that the stable version of MIUI 14 Pad will reach all eligible tablets in April 2023. Therefore, the company has begun to roll out the update now itself.

Currently, the fresh software is only available for the vanilla Xiaomi Pad 5 in China. The update arrives with build number V14.0.4.0.TKXCNXM and it is based on Android 13.

In other words, the device is now receiving its second MIUI as well as second Android update. Since the company hasn’t disclosed anything about the product’s software policy, we are not sure if it will receive any major software updates hereafter.

Anyway, as of now, the update is limited to ‘Pilot Testers’. The general public will initially get access to the update as part of the ‘Stable Beta’ rollout, followed by the final ‘Stable’ release later.

Xiaomiui says that the software is also ready for ‘Global’ and ‘EEA’ variants of the Xiaomi Pad 5. These builds are expected to release by March end.

There’s a chance that Xiaomi may start pushing MIUI 14 Pad for the remaining eligible tablets in China in the coming days. We will be updating our readers regarding the same whenever that happens.

WhatsApp Adds Support of Picture-in-Picture Video Calls on iOS

Feb 20, 2023

WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging platforms. They had recently rolled out an update for Android devices which adds numerous features to the devices like Avatars and extended media sharing limit. Now, it has recently announced that they are adding picture-in-picture support for iOS video calls. This feature will allow users to make and receive calls while still being able to do other tasks on their phones at the same time.

Picture-in-picture (PiP) mode enables users to watch a video in a smaller window while continuing to use their device in other ways. For example, if you are viewing an online tutorial or conversing with someone over WhatsApp Video Call, you may continue working on your emails or browsing social media without interfering with your call session. The PiP window can also be moved and resized as needed by the user so that it does not interfere with whatever else they are doing at the time.

iOS users can update their application to the latest V23.3.77 to enjoy these features. This new WhatsApp update makes multitasking during video calls much easier than before; users will no longer have to choose between staying in touch with friends and family via voice/video chat and getting work done! It’s also wonderful news for people who frequently find themselves juggling many conversations at once – owing to this new PiP function, they’ll be able to bounce back and forth between them more simply!

Not only that, but the most recent version now supports adding captions to documents as well as longer subjects and descriptions to better express what your chat groups are all about. Overall, we believe that this is a fantastic addition to Whatsapp that will dramatically improve the user experience while doing Video Calls. So that was all we had to say about WhatsApp’s most recent update. Thank you for sticking with me until the end.

Sony PlayStation 5 Sales Sees Impressive 200% Boost in Europe

Feb 20, 2023

The Sony PlayStation 5 has apparently seen a massive bump in sales in Europe last month. The company’s latest generation of gaming console saw sales more than double over the same month last year. So here are all the details.

According to a new report, the Japanese tech giant sold over 493,000 units of its consoles across the European region (not including UK and Germany) in January 2023. The company saw an impressive rise of around 202 percent in Ps5 sales across the European market. One of the reasons for this impressive rise in sales is due to improving supply chains. Back in January 2022, the PS5 sales were lackluster owing to supply constraints.

But with the PS5 sales last month, it appears that the situation has improved significantly. The PS5 was also the No. 1 console of the month, beating the Nintendo Switch, which saw a drop in sales of around 11 percent from January 2022. Lastly, the Microsoft Xbox Series S and X also saw drop in sales by around 32 percent year on year. During this same period, the brand sold 1.76 million add on products across Europe. However, this also marked a 2.1 percent drop in sales over the month before.

The PS5 DualSense controllers were by far the best selling accessory. Apart from this, Sony also sold 1.37 million points and subscription cards were sold across Europe last month, which also marked another 4 percent drop over January 2022.

BYD has been gearing up to launch a new SUV model. But prior to its official announcement, the company has shared a new teaser video which showcases the upcoming N7 SUV model.

Looking at the new teaser, we can see the N7 SUV being driven through the snow. For those unaware, the N series is the Chinese automobile manufacturer’s SUV series and the N7 will be the latest addition. This model will be a medium sized SUV with five seats. The company had teased the concept of this vehicle in the past and it appears that a mass produced version of this vehicle features camouflage as well, based on the trailer.

We can see sharp headlights at the front with a wing shaped grille just below both headlights. Rumors have suggested that the BYD N7 will feature the brand’s proprietary DM-i hybrid engine, which means that it can run on both regular fuel and even on pure electricity as well. Unfortunately, the pricing of this vehicle is still at large, but the N7 SUV model may launch in the 200,000 to 300,000 Yuan price range (roughly 29,000 to 43,000 US Dollars).

As of right now, the company has yet to official reveal the launch date for this vehicle. Although, an official had previously mentioned that the N7 SUV will be released in the first half of this year. Meaning, we can expect it to launch in the Spring season in China. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

Back in December, the Nubia Z50 went official in China as one of the first smartphones powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It has been two months since then, however, the brand is yet to debut the next models in the lineup.

Looks like that may happen soon. That’s because the top variant in the series seems to have been certified by TENAA. At the same time, its features have been tipped by a reliable leaker.

As per ITHome, an unknown Nubia smartphone has been listed on TENAA. This device bears model number NX712J. The publication suggests that this handset could go official as Nubia Z50 Ultra.

A couple of reliable tipsters have recently revealed a few details about this phone. Hence, there’s a high chance that this mysterious device could be the ‘Ultra’ model of the Z50 family.

The TENAA listing currently does not include the specs. We expect the listing to get populated with specs in the coming days.

According to Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Nubia Z50 Ultra will come equipped with ZTE’s fourth generation under screen front-facing camera. The tech implemented is said to be from BOE.

Further, the display is tipped to offer 2K resolution and curved edges. It will be run by a second-gen display chip.

The phone is expected to house a periscope zoom camera. Last but not least, it is said to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery.

We are looking forward to learning more about the Nubia Z50 Ultra in the coming days.

Sony PlayStation Plus to Bring This New Feature to a 24yr Old Classic PS1 Game

Feb 20, 2023

Sony is apparently planning on bringing a new feature update to a classic PlayStation 1 era title. The new update for the 24 year old game could be arriving from the company’s PlayStation Plus premium service.

For those unaware, PlayStation Plus is the Japanese tech giant’s most expensive tier on its newly overhauled PS Plus service. There are various benefits offered to PS Plus buyers, which includes the ability to play certain PS1, PS2, and PSP games at no extra cost. Buyers can even gain access to streaming select PS3 titles as well. Premium users can also download trials for a set duration, allowing them to try out games for a limited time (like 3 hours for God of War Ragnarok) as a part of this subscription plan.

But now, sources have revealed that this is also bringing updates to much older games as well. This includes The Legend of Dragoon. Apparently, the PS Plus Premium Tier would offer a new trophy system, which wasn’t even a feature available more than two decades ago. Although, this feature might no be ready for launch yet. But sources have claimed that the trophies for The Legend of Dragoon will be added soon after the release on PS Plus Premium.

The Premium service is set to launch February 21. Sony has recently been adding trophy support for classic games that were available on PS Plus Premium. This includes titles like No Heroes Allowed and Super Stardust Portable. So it won’t be very surprising if the company also brings trophy support for The Legend of Dragoon.

Tencent Pulls the Plug on Its VR Hardware Plans: Report

Feb 20, 2023

Tencent is apparently planning on abandoning one of its more recent projects. The company is rumored to be ending its VR (Virtual Reality) hardware project. So here are all the details.

With the unveiling of the Metaverse, brands rushed to launch their own products that would enable users to tap into the new sphere of social networking. However, it seems that it wasn’t quite an easy market to capture. The Chinese tech giant was originally planning on building VR based products through its XR unit last year. But now it has seemingly asking its staff to “seek other opportunities” after the hype behind Metaverse died down.

As per a new report, the company faced “Difficulties in achieving quick profitability”. In simpler terms, the amount of money it would have to spend to compete with other rival brands in the same category wouldn’t have brought in any profit. Furthermore, this decision was also made following a lack of compelling games and non gaming apps, which were the original reason that saw the company focus in virtual reality.

Previously, Tencent had also made a “ring like handheld game controller” concept, but this unit wouldn’t have been profitable until 2027. Thus, the company decided to pull the plug on this project. The brand has worked in VR for sometime now, but it appears that it no longer sees a point in entering the market with its own hardware for the time being. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

Feb 20, 2023

Xiaomi continues to expand its product line. The Chinese tech giant, which is most well-known for its smartphones, produces many different products ranging from toothbrushes to smart home devices. The company’s latest venture is to enter the electric vehicle market. Xiaomi has been collaborating with various manufacturers to produce its own vehicle for some time now, and its upcoming sedan was recently captured by a spy camera. Here are the details…

Upcoming Xiaomi Sedan to Feature Pure Electric or Plug-in Hybrid Power

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is making headlines once again, this time with the recent exposure of spy photos of what appears to be their upcoming positioning sedan. The photos, which were leaked by well known car blogger. Images show us a heavily camouflaged engineering test vehicle that is equipped with a laser radar and has a sedan shape. The vehicle’s layout is similar to that of the Ideal L9, which belongs to the watchtower mode.

One of the most notable features of the vehicle is its extremely long front, which is longer than that of most ordinary pure electric vehicles. Bloggers speculate that Xiaomi may opt for a pure electric power and “plug-in hybrid (including extended range)” power version. However, this has not been confirmed yet. The interior of the vehicle has also been exposed, but since it is an engineering sample, it is of little reference value. However, it can be speculated that the vehicle will be equipped with a large-size screen to create a technological atmosphere.

Last month, the design renderings of Xiaomi MS11 were leaked on the internet. From the renderings, it can be seen that the Xiaomi sedan is a coupe with a closed front face, a lidar on the roof, and headlights with brake vents below, indicating that the vehicle’s sporty performance may not be weak. The vehicle uses hidden door handles, does not use the latest electronic rearview mirror, and the roof is integrated with a canopy, which may be equipped with frameless doors.

The wheels are petal-shaped, and the middle of the wheels is clearly displayed. Xiaomi vehicle’s will use the updated “MI” logo, which was introduced in March 2021. However, Wang Hua, the general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, responded to the leak of the design renderings by stating that the confidential design documents of the second-tier supplier were leaked. The supplier was only a supplier for mold proofing, and the leaked documents were very early in the bidding process. The design draft is not the final stage, and the supplier who caused the leak was fined 1 million yuan.

It remains to be seen what features Xiaomi‘s upcoming positioning sedan will ultimately have, as the vehicle is still in its early testing phase. However, based on the spy photos that have been leaked, it seems that the car will have some exciting features that will set it apart from other sedans on the market. Xiaomi has been making big moves in recent years, expanding its offerings to include everything from smartphones and laptops to smart home products and wearables. The addition of a positioning sedan to its lineup could be the next big step for the company as it continues to grow and expand its reach.
