Nov 8, 2022

Xiaomi has launched a new model of the MIJIA Pulsator Washing Machine. The new washing machine is a slight modification of last year’s model bearing the same name and capacity. By the way, there is also an 8kg MIJIA Pulsator Washing Machine. The new product comes with a 3-year warranty and carries a price tag of 1099 yuan ($151). However, it is on offer for 899 yuan ($124) for its first sales round.

The MIJIA Pulsator Washing Machine 10kg is said to meet the washing needs of a large family as it can wash 45 shirts or 4 sets of 4-piece bed sets or four 1-meter floor-to-ceiling curtains in one cycle.

The washing machine can intelligently weigh the fabrics and as such, will automatically adjust the amount of water. Thus, it contributes to saving water in an efficient way.

The MIJIA Pulsator Washing Machine 10kg comes with 10 special washing modes which can carefully care for clothes of different materials. It can also adjust the appropriate water level according to the number of clothes.

It also uses a five-blade cyclone pulsator. By improving the stirring power of water flow, 360-degree three-dimensional scouring can strongly disintegrate stubborn stains, easily wash heavily soiled clothes, and reduce residues by deep cleaning.

The new washing machine also features a self-cleaning mode which is a first for the series. In this mode, the inner and outer cylinders are cleaned by high-speed water flow. In the air-drying mode of the tube, the residual moisture on the wall of the air-drying tube can prevent mold and bacteria from growing.

The MIJIA Pulsator Washing Machine is presently available for pre-order in China via JD.com.

By

-

Nov 8, 2022

The display arm of Korean tech giant LG has unveiled what is dubbed the world’s first 12-inch high-resolution stretchable display. The innovation was announced by LG Display and offers free-form technology. It is the result of a large-scale R&D project by Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, driven by LG since 2020. The technology allows the display to be extended, folded, and twisted without any distortion, creases, or damage.

The new LG high-res stretchable display is the first display to achieve 20% stretchability, 100ppi resolution, and full-color RGB. It is highly flexible, durable, and reliable. LG expects the product to find its way to the market with great potential for commercialization. The display panel itself is made of high-quality Silicon substrate used in contact lenses. The display has a rubber-like flexibility that can extend its length to 14 inches. The new LG stretchable display uses a micro-LED light source with a high level of durability. It can withstand strong impacts even with its high resolution.

The LG Stretchable display uses the flexible S-form spring wired system. It can withstand up to 10,000 repetitive changes to its form, thus underscoring its significant durability. LG Display collaborated with twenty organizations in the industrial-academic sector in South Korea in developing the product since 2020. The stretchable display can be easily attached to curved surfaces and this offers a huge potential for its scalability to commercial applications.

It is unclear at this time when the stretchable display will enter the market. LG has been in the forefront of innovative services before it exited the smartphone market. The new stretchable display will find extensive applicability across fields.

Nov 8, 2022

Xiaomi recently unveiled 12S Ultra Concept Edition, which fuses the camera and smartphone with detachable Leica M-series lenses. And today the brand showcased a special Xiaomi 12S ultra imagery gift box, which comes with some interesting accessories, such as a hood, starburst lens, polarizer, and more. But just like the concept edition, the gift box is also not for sale.

Xiaomi recently announced the Xiaomi 12S Ultra imagery gift box in China. The limited edition gift box is not for sale, but the company is apparently planning to giveaway some units through a lucky draw.

As can be seen in the image, the gift box includes a hood, a lens storage bag, a phone case, a 52mm star mirror, a 52mm polarizer, and other accessories. Xiaomi says these accessories will enhance the photography capabilities of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

As mentioned, Xiaomi recently showcased the 12S Ultra Concept Edition, which features a unique rear camera setup that attaches to a Leica lens for enhanced photography. The company says the new lens will help the device double as a flagship-level smartphone experience and a professional photography tool, something many people dream of. Unfortunately, it’s just a concept and will not be available for purchase.

To recall, the 12S Ultra is a China-exclusive smartphone that comes with some serious camera tech. It employs Leica’s color science and comes with a 1-inch-type image sensor and Summicron optics. The device has a main camera that uses a 50.3-megapixel 1-inch-type IMX989 sensor paired with a 23-mm F1.9 lens. It also has 48-MP ultra-wide and telephoto cameras, which make use of Sony’s IMX586 sensor.

Nothing Phone (1) scored as the least repairable phone of 2022 after teardown

By

-

Nov 8, 2022

The Nothing Phone (1) has been awarded the title of the least repairable phone of 2022. This comes after a teardown of the quasi-transparent smartphone by YouTuber Hugh Jeffreys. This is even with the release of the iPhone 14 series which discourages third-party servicing with the presence of strategic software locks.

The Nothing Phone (1) is coming in for criticism despite its impressive and innovative design together with Glyph lighting. However, it seems these innovations are at the heart of the very low repairability of the device. It is pretty difficult to repair the Phone (1) compared to the conventional Android smartphone and replacing the display results in a dysfunctional fingerprint reader. It is seemingly impossible to recalibrate the device after replacing its screen.

Hugh Jeffreys’ teardowns also revealed that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were among the least user-fixable smartphones in 2022. The highly customized Nothing Phone (1) debuted with pomp and high expectation however takes the prize for the least repairable. On the other end of the spectrum, the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Google Pixel 7 flagships were pretty high up in their repairability.

The assessment by Jefferys, however, needs to be put in perspective. It is based on the teardown of a few smartphones released this year. This is in addition to the fact that there are still some smartphones that will enter the market before the close of 2022, and which are not captured.

There is not much change in the list compared to the standings in the month of September. A good number of models on the list are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ with just one model powered by a Dimensity SoC on the list. At the top of the list is the ASUS ROG 6 smartphone. It is closely followed by ROG Phone 6 Pro. The Mi 12T Pro is in the third spot with a benchmark score of 1061590 points. The Red Magic 7 and Black Shark 5 Pro occupy the fourth and fifth spots.

The only MediaTek-powered model on the list is the Vivo X80 and it is powered by a Dimensity 9000 processor. Motorola Edge 30 Pro, Galaxy Z Fold4 5G Mi 12 Pro, and Motorola Edge X30 complete the top 10 list, all powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Samsung released the stable Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update for the Galaxy S22 series last month, and now it has started rolling out the stable builds of the software to the older Galaxy S21 series as well as to the S20 and Note 20 series. Currently, the update is being rolled out to the aforementioned devices in Europe, with a wider rollout projected in the coming days.

The Galaxy S21 series, which includes the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra, is receiving the stable update One UI 5.0 update (software version G99xBXXU5DVJC) in Europe. As of writing this, there is no update available for the Galaxy S21 Fe. The smartphone will likely receive the latest software separately.

The One UI update for the Galaxy S20 series, and Note 20 series is rolling out with firmware versions G98xBXXUFGVJE and N98xxXXU5GVJE, respectively. It is currently rolling out in Switzerland and Germany. The update also bumps the Android security patch level to October 2022.

The Changelog of the update is not available right now because Samsung hasn’t announced the rollout officially. It should bring the new features the South Korean company introduced with the One UI 5.0. We can expect loads of visual changes, including new notification UI, icons, and more.

The update reportedly comes with smoother animations, but we don’t expect any earth-shattering changes. Also, One UI 5 will allow users to customize their lock screen and add more wallpapers. In addition, they will be able to set different call backgrounds for each contact. There are also new stacked widgets on the Home Screen.

Beta for Steam on ChromeOS Begins; More Devices Now Compatible

By

Nov 8, 2022

ChromeOS is a lightweight operating system developed by Google for PCs. Many devices on the market come pre-installed with ChromeOS and many people use it all over the world, especially those who are looking for a lightweight and power-efficient software. In any case, the operating system has its own set of limitations, such as the fact that it is not intended for performance users or gamers. However, recently Google released a line of Chromebooks oriented towards gamers using the power of the cloud and Valve seems to be actively developing a ChromeOS-compatible version of Steam.

Steam is currently in the testing phase and a stable rollout is expected in the coming months. Anyway, there’s good news for those who are excited to explore Steam on ChromeOS. It was previously on the Dev channel, but now, it has been finally moved to the Beta channel. The latest version of ChromeOS 108.0.5359.24 has officially made the Beta version of Steam accessible to users.

Beta users can now go and explore Steam. If you’re not a beta user, then don’t worry, switching to beta isn’t a hefty task. You can seamlessly jump to the beta version directly from the System Settings. As Steam has now entered the Beta stage, more Chromebooks can have access to it. It is estimated that around 3X more Chromebooks can now download and use Steam, as compared with the Alpha version.

The Beta version requires a Rocket Lake or Alder Lake (12th Gen) Core i3 processor or an AMD Ryzen 3 (5000 C-series) processor or above to run. The ChromeOS device will also require at least 8 GB of RAM. Anyway, Google still recommends a Core i5 CPU and 16 GB of RAM “for the best experience.” In other words, those with the bare minimum of hardware may have difficulty operating some games. Also, the target for the Beta version is to fix the issues, not the user experience. So, you should be aware that you may face some glitches or troubles operating Steam.

Google May Add Support for New File Format in Android 14

By

-

Nov 8, 2022

Google has been working on adding more file formats to the Android operating system to extend its compatibility. It was previously reported that Google had added support for exFAT file format in the Android 13 running Pixel smartphones. This was somewhat perplexing given that the other OEMs have licensed support from Microsoft, which owns the format. When exFAT was introduced, it triggered a chain of developments on numerous Linux, Android, and other device kernels.

Another Microsoft-pioneered format, NTFS, has an altogether different story when compared to exFAT. The read/write capabilities were integrated into Kernel version 5.15. Mishaal Rahman of Esper reported in August on an Android 13 kernel based on that version. On the other hand, to enable support for it in the operating system, the volume daemon, which is Android’s storage mounting function needed to be modified accordingly.

And only Google can modify it. So, indirectly, only Google can decide whether to enable the support for NTFS format in Android. According to Rahman, Google has just built and integrated a program that repairs common NTFS errors. This could indicate that the company is actively working on a broader NTFS support implementation, which opens the door to the possibility that suitable Android 13 devices, as well as any device running a future Android version, will benefit from this feature.

However, during the initial phase, it may be confined to certain smartphones or only Google Pixel smartphones. We can assume that all Android 14 smartphones will support the NTFS file format. In any case, nothing has been officially confirmed, so take the information with a pinch of salt.

A Redmi phone with model number 22120RN86C has been spotted on China’s TENAA certification website. The listing reveals the smartphone’s design. Going by the images, we assume that the device is the Redmi 11A since the design looks similar to the Redmi 10A that debuted earlier in April this year. The upcoming offering is expected to arrive as the successor to the Redmi 10A and Redmi 9A.

The TENAA image reveals that the Redmi 11A has a waterdrop notch display. The power and volume rocker buttons are located at the right side of the device. The back panel is seen in a Dark Grey colour with diagonal stripes. The panel also houses a square camera module with two vertically stacked sensors and an LED flash. The camera island also has a conventional fingerprint scanner.

Apart from the design, the listing does not reveal any core specifications of the Redmi 11A. The Redmi 10A and 9A were powered by MediaTek Helio G25 processors. We can expect the next-generation offering to come with a new chipset. We also expect the Redmi 11A to bag more certifications in the coming weeks.

As for the Redmi 10A, the device has a 6.52-inch HD+ display with a 5MP front camera and a 13MP rear snapper. The device packs 4G RAM and 64GB storage. It is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging and ships with Android 11 OS out of the box.

Just recently, Samsung had mocked Apple for not having its own foldable iPhone. The latter hasn’t responded to this jab and appears to have no plans of releasing a foldable iPhone anytime soon. But, there’s a fan in China who managed to convert his iPhone into a foldable smartphone. So here’s a look at this interesting fan made model.

The fan made foldable iPhone device is dubbed as the iPhone V (not to be confused with the iPhone 5). Based on the end result of the DIY foldable iPhone fan project, this model features a clamshell foldable display. The fan made foldable iPhone was shown off in a video on BiliBili, a popular video sharing platform in China. The video showcases different parts of other foldable smartphones that also have a clamshell design, like the Galaxy Z Flip and Moto Razr. Following their design philosophy, the fan divided the internal components of the iPhone into two halves and connected them together.

The lower half houses the main motherboard with the SoC and memory, while the upper half houses the battery and the camera sensors for the rear and front. This fan’s project was a year long effort, but it is still just a prototype and won’t come close to an actual finished product from a major tech giant. But, the fan still managed to use a 3 printer to make a shell for this foldable iPhone. The end result shows a fully functioning iPhone that has a foldable screen, with the camera and other basic functions also working normally.

The fan even made a fake promotional video of this device, which shows that it features 5G connectivity and is powered by an A16 Bionic chipset. The front houses a 12 megapixel selfie camera, while the device’s display is a Super Retina XDR panel that can fold. It also offers a Pro series camera setup and features Ceramic Shield technology. Other keywords including improved battery life.
