Black Shark is apparently working on an interesting new product that will be made for people with disabilities. The company has just recently patented a VR based product (virtual reality) that is built to aid people with hearing impairment.

The Chinese smartphone maker’s patent was recently spotted by ITHome. Looking at the official patent description, the company is working on a new VR glasses type of device that houses its own mobile power supply and a display unit. Furthermore, the upcoming VR device is apparently capable of a very interesting feature. This gadget will have a dedicated module to read lip and lip language. In other words, it would be able to recognize lip movement and sent the relevant information to the VR device wearer.

Black Shark

The data would likely be transcribed in the form of audio or possibly displayed on the VR device’s display. Interestingly enough, we had covered a report earlier this year regarding Tencent acquiring Black Shark. The former was rumored to be making this move as it sought to step into the Metaverse. For those unaware, Black Shark has been a brand that has been in the gaming industry for sometime now and would’ve reportedly develop VR hardware for the metaverse. Meanwhile, Tencent would’ve been responsible for the software content on the company’s new VR product.

Keep in mind that this is still just a patent. This means that we have no idea if the brand is actually working on such a product or is simply covering all bases. But if it is true, then the company is clearly focusing on improving accessibility to more consumers across the market. This is all the information we have regarding this matter, so stick around for more updates.

BBK subsidiary Vivo has launched a new wireless neckband headset in China. The Vivo Wireless Sports Headset 2 utilizes a neckband design which is cool but what should stand out more is the 12 hours of music playback which the battery under the hood can support. The product is super-affordable as it starts at just 119 yuan ($16).

Vivo Wireless Sports Headset

Since this is a relatively cheap product, not much should be expected of it in terms of the configuration but that isn’t the case. The neckband earphone is ultra-lightweight, weighing just 18 grams. It adopts the exclusive horn ear design, which can closely fit the ear firmly without discomfort. Since this is a sports earbud, it is essential that they fit the ears firmly.

The built-in 11.2mm moving coil unit is equipped with a polymer diaphragm. It also utilizes the Japanese Daikoku copper-clad aluminum voice coil that enhances the high-frequency sound output. The headset is also tuned by Vivo’s Golden Ear acoustic team to balance the three frequencies.

The wireless sports headset 2 uses a Bluetooth 5.0 chip, and the audio delay during games can be reduced to 80ms at least. A high-sensitivity microphone is designed at the in-line control position of the headset, which supports noise reduction for calls, making daily calls and game voices clearer.

As stated earlier, the earphones support up to 12 hours of music playback on a full charge. Even if you run out of battery, there is no cause for alarm as the earphones have a flash charging function. A 10-minute charge can deliver up to 3 hours of music playback which is awesome.

Vivo Wireless Sports Headset 2

Furthermore, the new product adopts a magnetic suction design, which will enter a dormant state when the suction is removed. It also supports a one-key flash connection function meaning the headset can be quickly connected when it is close to the phone. In addition, the button can wake up the mobile phone voice assistant and quickly switch the paired device.

Sony has officially revealed the pricing and the release date for its PlayStation VR2 headset. The new announcement also shares the information for the virtual reality based headset, which is similar to the launch timeline of the new DualSense Edge.

As per official notes, the Japanese tech giant will begin pre-orders on November 15 in various markets across the globe. Although, registrations for the pre-orders are already live. The company has also opened a dedicated web page for the PS VR2. Keep in mind, the brand did say that registering does not guarantee that you will be able to pre-order a PS VR2 headset. Sony will also be limiting the orders to just one unit per ‘PSN ID per household.’ This is likely to avoid hoarders or scalpers or because of limited supply but a higher demand.

Furthermore, the company is apparently only letting pre-orders go out to regions where the PS VR2 headset can be sold directly. Meaning, only countries where the PlayStation Direct Store can deliver is eligible for the early buyers. If you are able to meet all these criterias, you can place pre-orders for the new headset on November 15. It will go for a price tag of 5499 US Dollars, which includes taxed. The company will also ship the new PS VR2 headset alongside the PS VR2 Sense controllers and even stereo headphones as well.

Sony is also offering the new PlayStation VR2 in a Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle for 599 US Dollars. This basically adds a PlayStation Store voucher code for Horizon Call of the Mountain.

The company is expected to start selling the device and its accessories on 22nd February 2023.

Last year, in June, OnePlus merged its business with OPPO and announced that the company would operate independently. CEO of OnePlus, Pete Lau, also took the role of Senior VP and Chief Product Experience Officer at OPPO.

Earlier this year, the company revealed its plans to enter the offline markets with the help of OPPO. Today, the company has announced that OnePlus has now entered the offline market through OPPO’s offline channels.

The offline expansion of OnePlus is currently limited to the Chinese market. The company has revealed that offline experience points will cover 2,800 districts and counties across the country and added that there will be more than 5,000 stores.

Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, has announced that the OnePlus phones have fully entered the OPPO offline channels with more than 5,000 stores. It covers over 90 percent of prefecture-level cities and also provides after-sales service.

Soon after the merger of OnePlus and OPPO, the company stated that the merged entities can effectively use the group’s sales channels and after-sales services to reduce costs and focus more on the development of advanced technologies.

OnePlus had managed to sell more than 10 million units of premium smartphones globally in 2021, and the company plans to step up its push to expand the brand’s presence in the global high-end smartphone market. The company’s push for its presence in the offline market will definitely help the company reach more users and create a trust factor among users who are wary of online-only brands.
