Google is apparently offering a new product that is strictly for merchants in India. The company’s Google Pay brand is introducing a Soundpod device that is similar to the ones offered by other brands like Paytm and PhonePe.

For those unaware, Google Pay, Paytm, and PhonePe are popular UPI payment apps in India. Apart from the Search Engine giant, the two other firms offered a Soundpod to merchant that helped offer audio feedback of payments being received on their accounts. Now, it appears that Google Pay is also working on such a device that features an in built speaker as well as an LCD panel to notify users that payments have been successful.

This device will support different languages as well. As of right now, the company has reportedly offered this gadget to a select group of merchants at no extra cost. In other words, the device is still being tested in a small scale, with merchants getting the new soundboxes for free. Alternative platforms like Paytm, PhonePe, and BharatPe already offer such devices, so it is no surprise that Google Pay is also working on its own version of this soundpod.

As per sources close to the matter, Google has already started distributing the new devices across sellers in North India, including the capital region of New Delhi. Apart from just offering audio announcement for successful payments, the LCD panel will display the payment amount, battery, network status, and manual controls.

Jan 19, 2023

Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi A1 and Redmi A1+ smartphones a few months ago as part of the company’s new A series. These are entry-level devices that are targeted toward first-time smartphone users.

A fairly basic MediaTek Helio A22 chipset powers the Redmi A1 series of smartphones. According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi may have plans to launch a new smartphone that will essentially be an upgrade of the Redmi A1.

Xiaomiui has uncovered new FCC documents that hint at an upcoming smartphone with model number 23036RN54G. Model number 2302 (2023-02)’s first three numbers indicate that the smartphone may be released in February or March of this year. The Redmi A1’s model number, Xiaomi 220733SL, is similar to the impending Xiaomi 23036RN54G, according to a Federal Communications Commission listing.

The next Xiaomi 23036RN54G will reportedly feature a new processor with the model number MT6765X, according to the documents. The MediaTek Helio P35 CPU is designated by this model number. This indicates that Xiaomi is developing a Redmi A1 model with a MediaTek Helio P35 processor. The future Xiaomi 23036RN54G and the Redmi A1 won’t differ in any other ways, according to the documents.

The FCC listing also hints that Android 13 will run on the next Xiaomi entry-level smartphone. The Xiaomi 23036RN54G, according to people at Xiaomiui, will also boot Android 13 Go Edition. The device is reportedly known under the codename Water. For those who don’t know, the Redmi A1 and Redmi A1+ have the respective codenames Ice and Snow.

Nothing more regarding the next Xiaomi smartphone is known besides that. Even the smartphone’s name is a mystery. In the following weeks, we may expect to learn more about the next Xiaomi device. Meanwhile, let us go through the Redmi A1 specifications and features.

Redmi A1: Specifications and Features

The Redmi A1 has a 6.52-inch display panel with an HD+ resolution, 400nits peak brightness, and a waterdrop notch. The phone has a quad-core MediaTek Helio A22 chipset inside, along with up to 3GB of RAM. Android 12 Go Edition is preinstalled on the entry-level smartphone.

The 5000mAh battery in the Redmi A1 supports 10W charging. It has a depth sensor and an 8MP camera on the back. It is dependent on the 5MP front camera. Additionally, the Redmi smartphone features a 3.5mm audio jack and a separate micro-SD card slot.

Samsung has scheduled its first ‘Unpacked’ event of 2023 for February 1. The company has confirmed to debut the Galaxy S23 series at this event. The smartphones are expected to be accompanied by the Galaxy Book 3 series of laptops.

Ahead of their official announcement, almost all details about these products have leaked. We have even started hearing about the price. Earlier reports suggested a hike in price but a new one says otherwise.

As per an official-looking Verizon document (via 9to5Google), Samsung will not increase the price of the Galaxy S23 series, at least in the US. The lineup will retail at the following price tags in the region.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra – $1,199.99
Samsung Glaaxy S23 Plus – $999.99
Samsung Galaxy S23 – $799.99

In other words, The Galaxy S23 family will cost the same as the Galaxy S22 lineup from last year. However, the base variant of the S23 Plus will arrive with 256GB instead of 128GB like the S22 Plus. Hence, the second memory variant will offer 512GB.

On the other hand, the vanilla S23 will come in the same 128GB and 256GB versions. But the standard and plus models will share almost all specs, including colors (Phantom Black, Lavender, Cream, Green).

Finally, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be also available in the same memory configurations and colors as the Galaxy S23 Plus.

During the pandemic, the volume of video calls over a Work-from-home setting increased drastically. Millions of people started using webcams from the comfort of their homes to communicate with their teams. Logitech is a leading manufacturer in the webcam sector, and the company recently unveiled its Brio 300 series webcams, providing a substantial upgrade for remote workers.

The Brio 300 series is advertised as being compact and capable. Logitech claims to have surveyed more than 3000 remote workers. Based on their surveys, they have focused on improving lighting conditions and sound input quality for their new series of webcams. The Brio 300 series is equipped with plug-and-play functionality, Full-HD 1080p resolution, noise-reduction microphone and automatic light correction. So far, Logitech has launched two webcams in Brio 300 series, the Brio 300 and Brio 305.

Users can connect the webcams to computers via a USB-C port. The Brio 305 webcam can be remotely managed through Logitech Sync. This would ensure that any issues are addressed in a short span of time and with little to no hassle. For privacy, users can spin the built-in privacy shutter to block the camera lens. The webcam sports a fresh cone shape design, rarely found in webcams these days. The company also claims to positively impact the carbon footprint by ensuring that the Brio 300 and Brio 305 are built from certified post-consumer recycled plastic. This can be a good selling point for those who prefer environmentally sustainable products in their setups.

The Logitech Brio series will be priced at $69.99 USD for both models. They will be available in off-white, graphite and rose colors. The company previously launched the Brio 500 webcam in the year 2022. An interesting thing to note is that Logitech also manufactures some of the most widely used webcams for gaming and streaming. Due to their significantly lower price point, the Brio 300 and Brio 305 may also be preferred by gaming enthusiasts since it offers 1080p resolution and high dynamic contrast.

Apple Is Reportedly Working on a Smart Display to Rival Google Nest Hub Max and Amazon Echo Show

By

Jan 19, 2023

As per reports, Apple is finally planning to enter the smart display market to take on its rivals like Amazon and Google, who are well-established in this industry. The company has previously tried to crack the smart speaker market dominated by Amazon and Google with little success. The latest sources, however, show promise for the new upcoming Apple Smart Display.

The Smart Display would use the iPad as the primary screen, and the device would be used to regulate the thermostat, home lighting and security options, such as locks. Users will be able to make facetime calls using the Smart Display as well. Additionally, one could watch TV and multitask on the device – for instance, watching a cooking video on YouTube while checking the weather forecast.

As per sources, Apple’s Smart Display will feature a larger screen for the sake of convenience. Compared to Google Nest Hub Max, which has a 10-inch display, customers can expect the Apple Smart Display to have a slightly larger screen. Furthermore, Apple might even let its users purchase docks for their iPads, similar to the dock for the upcoming Google Pixel tablet. That will enable customers to hang up their iPads around their home or just use it with a stand on a counter or a dresser.

Apple’s voice assistant, Siri would be a major point of focus for the Smart Display. Since Apple’s AI capabilities don’t match the potential of Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa, Apple would have to improve Siri as a strong contender to its competition. The process might take a fair amount of time, which is why customers should not expect the Apple Smart Display to launch anytime soon.

Apple’s new HomePod smart speaker is promising. However, it features more or less a similar design to its previous generation, which was launched in the year 2018. To make its Smart Display a success in such a competitive market, Apple would have to bridge a lot of gaps in their hardware and software. It will be quite interesting to see how the trillion-dollar electronics company conquers this hurdle.

Hands-on With Truke BTG X1 Wireless Earbuds

By

Sudarshan Ravichandran

-

Jan 19, 2023

Low-cost truly wireless earphones and smartwatches are the hottest categories right now. There are lots of options to choose from.

I have avoided them for a long time for fear of quality issues. But recently when Truke approached me to take a look at one of their latest TWS earbuds, I agreed so that I could get a taste of such products.

The brand sent me their recently released Truke BTG X1. For the unaware, BTG stands for ‘Born to Game’. It is a lineup of wireless earbuds from Truke targeted at mobile gamers.

Personally, I am not a gamer. So I used the product only for regular usage. I believe most users will do the same since the earbuds are priced so lucratively priced that even non-gamers would purchase them.

The Truke BTG X1 carries an official price tag of ₹1,499 ($18). However, it is often available at only ₹999 ($12).

With that out of the way, let me share my experience with the product. Before I begin, I would like to inform readers that Truke neither had an editorial input nor an early look at this article.

Truke BTG X1 Hands-on Experience

The Truke BTG X1 has an attractive design. It resembles a pebble in black color.

There’s a Truke branding on the lid which is easy to open/close one-handed and a regulatory sticker at the bottom. A USB Type-C port for charging is located on the rear side.

The lid is surrounded by 20 RGB LED lights. Additionally, an X-shaped LED light is presented on the front. Even the right-side earbud has a tiny RGB LED light.

[envira-gallery id=’509508′]

These lights turn on when you open and close the case. Unfortunately, you cannot customize these lights.

As far as the buds are concerned, they look like AirPods but with Truke branding. They feature an open-ear design, and therefore, you don’t get silicone tips.

Both buds and the case are lightweight. The buds don’t feel like they are in the ears. They are comfortable and offer a good fit for my ears. Anyway, your experience may vary as everyone’s ears are not the same.

[envira-gallery id=’509509′]

Though the product is good-looking, its build quality feels cheap, which certainly matches its price tag.

The same goes for the audio quality. I found the output to be just adequate for the price. I could say the same for the microphones. Weirdly, the buds should be on 70% volume level or more to be audible.

Further, I felt the touch controls on the buds to be complicated as there are multiple options. Also, you cannot disable touch controls. So I faced accidental touches all the time.

The best thing about these earbuds despite being cheap is their connectivity. I didn’t face connection drops or any audio lag.

As far as battery life is concerned, the buds lasted for about 6-7 hours on a single charge during my usage. It is enough to watch two movies or 5-6 episodes of a TV series.

So should you buy the Truke BTG X1? That depends on the price you are paying. If you can grab the product at ₹999, then I don’t mind recommending it.

However, at ₹1,499, I would suggest you consider other options like Oppo Enco Buds, which retail at around ₹1500-₹1800.

Tecno Phantom Vision V is the name of Tecno’s concept phone with a foldable screen, according to a report by GSMArena. However, it is different from all the other foldable phones available on the market. The reason for this is that it has a rollable sliding screen. Before reading ahead, readers should note that it is a concept device, which means it is unclear whether the device will be commercially available.

The Tecno Phantom Vision V’s video shared by the publication begins by showing the device in a folded state.

The back of the Phantom Vision V has a triple camera unit with a quad-LED flash. The camera module, which sits flush on the rear shell, looks inspired by the Phantom X2 series. A small display is available under the camera setup. It can display notifications, always-on display content like a clock, and reminders.

The device is equipped with an aerospace-grade titanium alloy casing and a durable hinge with a patented design. When folded, it appears like a regular, pocket-friendly smartphone. The inner display, which is made up of 11 functional layers, can expand to offer a screen space of up to 10.1 inches. It appears that the same screen folds at the edge and shows up on the front when folded. If such a device arrives on the market, it may result in the death of the tablet sooner or later.

While there is no official word from the brand, there is a possibility it may announce the Tecno Phantom V foldable phone since the moniker was spotted in the Bluetooth SIG’s database last month. At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, which will be held at the end of February, many smartphone brands are expected to announce new products and new technologies. It remains to be seen whether Tecno will showcase its foldable phone at MWC 2023.
