Dec 28, 2022

Twitter has been surrounded by a lot of negative press recently and it seems like the unfortunate run is still ongoing. A hacker has claimed to have private data on hundreds of millions of the platform’s users.

A new report has stated that the hacker has acquired sensitive information on 400 million users to be exact, which was illegally captured in 2021. The data was obtained by abusing an API vulnerability that has been fixed since its originally discovery. The hacker goes by the name ‘Ryushi’ has offered Elon Musk and Twitter to purchase this data him for a hefty price of 200,000 US Dollars. If they refuse, they would face an even heavier fine from the GDPR.

As per Ryushi on the Breached hacking forum, “Your best option to avoid paying $276 million USD in GDPR breach fines like facebook did (due to 533m users being scraped) is to buy this data exclusively… after that I will delete this thread and will not sell this data again.” To prove this, he even shared a sample data of more than 1,000 users that include a number of celebrities, which was leaked. This information contains sensitive data like email addresses, usernames, follower counts, creation dates, and some users’ phone numbers.

The hacker further added that if Twitter skips this deal, he is also open to selling this data to multiple buyers for a sum of 60,000 US Dollars for interested parties. Unfortunately, it is still unclear as to what decision Twitter will make regarding this matter or even if the leaked private data is completely accurate. So stay tuned as we will offer updates if there are any notable developments on this matter.

India pushes for Universal Charging standard for Smartwatches

By

-

Dec 28, 2022

Back in the 2000s, different phone brands had different chargers for their handsets. However, this soon started to shift with the launch of the Android powered smartphones. Now, it seems like a universal charging standard will also be required for smartwatches as well, with India pushing for this change.

Just recently, the European Union had mandated that Apple will have to drop its Lightning Port and adopt the USB Type C port. For those unaware, the USB Type C has mostly become a standard for most Android smartphones and the iPhone maker was the only major brand that chose to stick to its proprietary charging technology. Although, the same cannot be said for the smartwatch market since different wearables features a dedicated charger even for varying models from the same brand.

The Indian government apparently has plans to enforce a new mandate to make USB Type C the universal charging standard for smartphones, but is even working on a similar charge for wearable devices as well. The Secretary to the Department of Consumer Affairs, Rohit Kumar Singh told PTI that the BIS might require all upcoming wearables to ship with support for a standard charging solution.

The consumer electronic products that were mentioned for a universal charging solution includes smartwatches, fitness trackers, wireless earbuds, and headphones. Unfortunately, it is still unclear what form the actual universal charging standard might take. Similarly, the timeline for this universal charging solution is also unclear as of right now. So stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

How Harmful are Smartphones for the Environment?

By

-

Dec 28, 2022

Smartphone sustainability is reaching new heights, with Apple and Samsung leading the way in terms of sustainable initiatives, according to a report by Counterpoint Research. The report, called “Smartphones and Circular Economy: Creating a Sustainable Future,” evaluates the top five smartphone original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) based on their efforts to reduce their impact on the environment by reusing materials, recycling devices, and minimizing waste throughout the smartphone’s life cycle, from design and production to power consumption.

Apple and Samsung Lead the Way in Smartphone Sustainability

The report’s scorecard includes a robust metric system that assesses each OEM’s vision and overall approach to sustainability. Apple’s vision appears to be clearer than its competitors, and its actions support this vision. However, each of the top OEMs performs differently across the three major stages of the smartphone circular economy: production, usage, and end of life.

In terms of production, OEMs have focused on eco-friendly components and packaging, as well as water-saving mechanisms in their manufacturing processes. Brands like Samsung, Apple, and OPPO have also encouraged their vendors to adhere to environmental norms. However, revenue and profit remain the primary objectives for these companies.

In terms of usage, OEMs must balance the desire to motivate consumers to upgrade to newer, more technologically advanced devices with the need to protect the environment. Chinese OEMs like OPPO, Xiaomi, and Vivo are working to improve battery life and energy efficiency. Apple excels in terms of overall longevity, updates, and sustainability innovations, while Samsung excels in repair, energy efficiency, and after-sales networks.

When it comes to end of life, OEMs have a significant role to play in reclaiming and responsibly recycling or repairing their smartphones once they reach the end of their usable life. The main objective is to reduce electronic waste (e-waste). The global refurbished market has grown significantly in recent years, but OEM initiatives on reclamation, refurbishment, and e-waste reduction are limited. Even the best brands are not active enough in pulling back devices from the market, and the e-waste crisis continues to grow.

Overall, while Apple and Samsung are leading the way in terms of sustainability initiatives, the efforts of all smartphone OEMs fall short when compared to the volumes of new smartphones being shipped every year. To truly make a difference in the fight against e-waste and other environmental issues, OEMs must do more to encourage the reuse and recycling of smartphones, and prioritize sustainability in all stages of the device’s life cycle.

Made in India Smartphones see a fall demand in the local market

By

-

Dec 28, 2022

Smartphones that were Made in India saw a sizeable rise in shipments back in the second quarter of this year. However, in the third quarter, it seems that these devices did not see such a great performance in the local market.

The news arrives from a Counterpoint Research report. The known analytics based firm found that smartphones under the ‘Made in India” category saw an overall decline of 8 percent year on year in Q3 2022. During this period, the Indian smartphone market shipped over 52 million Made in India handset units. However, this marked a noticeable fall in sales, which the report believes is likely due to fall in consumer demand.

This decline in sales is also likely linked to the uncertain geopolitics that could be the primary factor. According to Senior Research Analyst Prachir Singh, “The Made in India smartphone shipments declined in Q3 2022 as compared to Q3 2021. Two major forces impacted the growth of such smartphone shipments. First, the decline in consumer demand, especially in the entry level segment, due to the negative macroeconomic indicators. Second, the high channel inventory at the start of the quarter also impacted the manufacturing during the quarter.”

Despite this, the country’s smartphone manufacturing sector is still seeing expansion with almost 63 percent of shipments arriving from in house producers and just 37 percent from third party sources. BYD and Lava were two of the fastest growing brands in terms of total smartphone shipments. The researched further added that “Overall, the manufacturing trend is witnessing an upward trajectory with multiple partnerships happening in recent months, like the ones between Tata Group and Wistron and between Foxconn and Vedanta.” So this decline might not be permanent.

Apple faces lawsuit over alleged racial bias on Apple Watch’s health feature

Dec 28, 2022

Apple is facing yet another lawsuit. This time, the company is being sued for its Apple Watch wearable device, which the legal complaint states is racially biased in some of its key health related features.

The Cupertino based giant has been hit with a class action lawsuit in the Southern District of New York. The brand is facing the legal dispute over its smartwatch allegedly having a racial bias on darker tones for its blood oximeter health feature. According to the documents, a New Yorker named Alex Morales is claiming that the Apple Watch that he purchased over a year ago is “purported to measure blood oxygen levels and he believed it did this without regard to skin tone which was relevant to him based on his skin tone.”

As per the legal filing, Morales “expected the product would not incorporate biases and defects of pulse oximetry with respect to persons of darker skin tone.” He further added that “as a result of the false and misleading representations, the Product is sold at a premium price, approximately no less than $400, excluding tax and sales.” So Morales is filing a class action law suit, which will also cover all New Yorkers who purchased the Apple Watch during the statute of limitations. Furthermore, the lawsuit also listed research notes from a study that was conducted during the pandemic.

This was done to help test COVID-19 cases by checking the blood oxygen saturation percentage. They cited this research and stated that it “confirmed the clinical significance of racial bias of pulse oximetry. For decades, there have been reports that such devices were significantly less accurate in measuring blood oxygen levels based on skin color.” Apple has responded to this lawsuit saying that the Apple Watch is “only designed for general fitness and wellness purposes. Blood Oxygen app measurements are not intended for medical use, including self-diagnosis or consultation with a doctor.”

LG announces new Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera with OIS support

By

-

Dec 28, 2022

LG Innotek has just made a notable announcement with the official reveal of its new ‘Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module’ that will be made available for future smartphones soon. So here are all the details.

The South Korean brand’s new optical telephoto camera will arrive with integrated telescopic camera function that is capable of capturing the high magnification of up to 4x to 9x zoom. The company claims that the new image sensor that it will be able to capture these shots without the loss of any image quality. As per official notes, the conventional ‘fixed zoom module’ that exist in the industry offers optical magnification only in the specific zoom sections.

Any other magnification applied on the shot is enabled through the digital zoom. However, LG Innotek stated that it has developed a zoom actuator, which is a component for moving the lens to enable shifting of the focal distance. This enables the telephoto shooter to capture clear images between all sections between the 4x and 9x magnification sections as well and is not limited to just the two levels. Notably, this camera tech is also backed up by OIS support (Optical Image Stabilization).

Thanks to OIS, the devices that feature this sensor will be able to reduce blurring in shots and get steadier recordings as well. Furthermore, since the module is smaller as well, the brands that employ it would also be able to save up space inside their smartphone’s body. Meaning, a smaller camera bump or none at all is technically possible.

Dec 28, 2022

Vivo is reportedly working on two new foldable phones for the Chinese market. According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the company is planning to launch the Vivo X Fold 2 and the Vivo X Flip in the first half of 2022. The tipster has shared the key specifications of the X Fold 2.

According to the tipster, the Vivo X Fold 2 will feature a foldable screen that offers a 2K resolution. It seems that the front, as well as inner displays, will be equipped with an under-screen fingerprint scanner.

The X Fold 2 will have an OIS-enabled Sony IMX866 primary camera. The foldable phone will draw power from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It appears to be a lightweight device. To recall, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered Vivo X Fold, which debuted in the first half of 2022, weighs 311 grams. On the other hand, the X Fold+, which came equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, has the same weight. The Oppo Find N2 foldable phone that debuted earlier this month in China weighs around 235 grams. Hence, it is likely that Vivo could be working on reducing the X Fold 2’s weight.

Nothing much is known about the Vivo X Flip, except for the fact that it will arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. The tipster claimed that Vivo does not intend to launch a successor to the Vivo X Note. To recall, the X Note came equipped with a behemoth 7-inch OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, 50-megapixel quad cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery.

This year, Vivo released two X-series models, such as the Vivo X80 series and the Vivo X90 lineup. The tipster claimed that the company will launch only one generation of X-series phones starting next year.
