Oct 24, 2022

Xiaomi Smart Ecology has officially unveiled a new audio product dubbed Xiaomi Bone Conduction Headphones. The new product comes with a starting price tag of 699 yuan ($96) and is available in China via JD.com.

The most outstanding feature of the smart wearable is the use of bone conduction technology. The technology works by transmitting sound vibrations along your cheekbones instead of through the air. It is the same technique that sea mammals use underwater and is said to be the technique used by German classical composer Ludwig Van Beethoven to make music when he lost his hearing. With this technology, users can also hear the sound of their environment without affecting the outside world when listening to music, so that they can always pay attention to the environment.

The vibrator inside the earphone adopts an innovative track-type design, and the sound quality is more distinct. There is also a 360° closed directional sound cavity, which can effectively suppress sound leakage and protect privacy.

In terms of connection, the new earbuds use a Bluetooth 5.2 chip, allowing for fast connectivity. The company claims a link delay is as low as about 86ms. Thus, users can have a stable connection to the headset when exercising, and there will be no disconnection.

In addition, the earphone has a single battery life of up to 12 hours. It uses a Type-C interface that is common to mobile phone charging cables. A 5-minute charge can provide to two hours of music playback.

In other respects, the Xiaomi Bone Conduction headset supports MIUI pop-up quick connection. The device is automatically and quickly paired when it is close to the phone. It also comes with IP66 dust and water resistance meaning that it can withstand wind, rain and sweat.

Oppo PHJ110 Will be a Budget 5G Smartphone: TENAA

Oct 24, 2022

At the end of August, a mysterious Oppo smartphone with model number PHJ110 was certified by TENAA. Now, almost two months later, the listing of the phone has been populated with the key specs.

As per the listing, the handset will likely be a budget 5G smartphone. Let’s take a look at the features it will offer.

According to TENAA, the upcoming Oppo PHJ110 will flaunt a 6.56-inch display (TFT LCD) with a resolution of 1612 x 720 pixels (HD+) and 16.7 million colors. It might have at least a 90Hz refresh rate though it is not mentioned.

The device will be powered by a chipset comprising a 2.2GHz CPU. The chip will be paired with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage.

Interestingly, despite sporting an LCD screen, the phone is said to house an under-display fingerprint sensor. We believe it could be a typo and the handset could actually come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Further, the device will feature a MicroSD card slot (up to 1TB). It will arrive with a dual-camera system on the rear consisting of a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary snapper. On the front, it will have an 8MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

It will be backed by a 4,880mAh battery (rated). The typical value could be 5,000mAh. Last but not least, the smartphone will measure 163.8 x 75.1 x 8.0 mm in dimensions and weigh 188 g.

The Oppo PHJ110 will most probably go official in China without any fanfare, like any other budget handsets from the brand.

The South Korean tech giant has announced the new Camera Assistant application that aims to offer advanced features while using the Galaxy phone’s camera. This would help improve the users customizability with the camera’s auto mode. As of right now, the app is available in regions like India, South Korea, and some other markets through the Galaxy Store. Furthermore, this app also brings the ability to let users disable or enable automatic HDR as well.

Apart from this, Galaxy phone users can also expect to see soft photo texture and even automatic lens switching when shooting subjects that are away from the user. Notably, the new Camera Assistant app also allows you to shoot videos even when they are using the Photo mode. Users can even hold the shutter button to start recording videos. One of the most important features added to the Camera Assistant is the Quick Shot option that lets you reduce motion blur in still images.

Although, Samsung stated that the image quality might be lowered slightly when the feature is used. But, it should help in better capturing quick moving subjects like pets. With this new app, there is no need for any setup since it basically enables a number of new options into the Galaxy phone’s camera settings that users can toggle as per their requirements.

Oct 24, 2022

Earlier today, Huawei teased the upcoming launch of the Huawei P50 Pocket S smartphone in China. The device is set to break cover at 7 PM on November 2 in the domestic market.

Ahead of the launch, tipster Parag Guglani has shared the renders of the P50 Pocket S revealing its design and color options.

Design-wise, there appear to be no changes compared to the P50 Pocket, which launched back in December 2021. It has three cameras in a circular camera island accompanied by a flash module. The other black circular cutout on the back houses a secondary display that can display notifications and other crucial information from a variety of supported apps.

The image reveals five color options – blue, pink, rose, green, and yellow. Earlier reports have also mentioned that the device will come in white and black colors too.

The original P50 Pocket launched with the Snapdragon 888 4G chip under its hood. However, the P50 Pocket S is rumored to come with a Snapdragon 778G 4G chipset. Other than that, we expect to see a 120Hz OLED foldable display on the device, along with HarmonyOS 3, and the company’s XMAGE image processing technology. The device is expected to be quite affordable as the 256 GB edition of the Huawei Pocket S is expected to cost around 4,999 Yuan (~$689). On the other hand, its 512 GB edition, may arrive with a 6,999 Yuan (~$965) price tag.

Oct 24, 2022

With the launch of the Apple iPhone 14 series, the company had officially killed off its iPhone mini series. Now, a new report has suggested that the base 6.1 inch iPhone’s days are also numbered.

For those unaware, there have been rumors going around that the Cupertino based giant has been working on an iPhone Ultra model. However, this doesn’t just mean that the brand is simply planning on adding a new phone to the iPhone lineup. Rather, it is rumored that the company might discontinue the 6.1 inch base iPhone model (Via PhoneArena). This rumor had sparked backlash from many, who took to Twitter to voice out their disapproval of the iPhone 15 Ultra model.

Some stated that the iPhone Pro Max models are already too large. At the moment, the base model is the only true compact flagship phone from the brand, which some people prefer. So, it is not surprising that there are people against another big iPhone model. There is also a chance that Apple will launch the iPhone 15 Ultra with some exclusive Ultra features, which has also raised concerns with its customers that do not wish to have another Pro Max model in the market, despite rumors of the Ultra being the replacement for the top end Pro Max series.

Interestingly, there was a recent rumor regarding the iPhone 15 Ultra featuring a premium titanium build. If this is true, it might address some of the issues of Apple users that complain of the iPhone 14 Pro Max being too heavy and unwieldy with one hand since titanium is 45 percent lighter than stainless steel but still just as strong. But keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.

The Poco F4 is one of the best flagship killer smartphones released in 2022. Before its launch, there were leaks about a Pro model.

The so-called Poco F4 Pro was later revealed to be canceled. Now, months later, this unreleased smartphone appears in a video.

A Malaysia-based Xiaomi reseller called Xiaomi Kluang Technology showcased (via Xiaomiui) the canceled Poco F4 Pro in a Facebook live stream in late September. The video confirms what the initial leaks about this device stated earlier this year.

The Poco F4 Pro is indeed a rebranded Redmi K50 Pro. If it had gone official, it would have become the first Poco-branded smartphone with a QHD+ display.

The reason behind the product’s cancellation is a mystery. However, it is worth noting that the brand was undoubtedly testing it for global markets.

The phone in the video boots the last known internal MIUI Global build (V13.0.0.18.SLKMIXM). Xiaomi stopped releasing internal MIUI builds for this handset two months ahead of the launch of Poco F4.

If the Poco F4 Pro had been released, it would have offered features like a 6.67-inch QHD+ (3200 x 1440 pixels) 120Hz OLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 108MP primary camera, 20MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, and 120W fast wired charging support.

Just recently, Apple began selling a number of new accessories on its official online store that were made by various third party accessory makers like Anker, Mophie, and Twelve South. So let’s have a look at some of the more notable products.

The Anker 3 in 1 MagSafe Cube is one of the new products currently listed on the Cupertino based giant’s retail store. It is a 150 US Dollar, MagSafe certified charging accessory, that can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. As of right now, the device is available for purchase through Apple retail stores, but the online listing to buy the product should go live soon. As the name suggests, the device comes in a cube form factor that extends out from the top and side to offer various charging platforms for Apple products.

The Cube is able to charge the iPhone at up to 15W, and can even fast charge the Apple Watch Ultra, Watch Series 8, and Watch Series 7. Furthermore, when charging a MagSafe enabled iPhone, the device can be kept in either landscape or portrait orientation. The Cube also comes with a 1.5m USB Type C to Type C charging cable and a 30W charger as well. Moving forward, the brand also listed the new extendable HoverBar Tower from Twelve South. This accessory was made specifically for the iPad.

It serves the function of keeping the iPad upright for Apple Fitnes+ workouts, FaceTime calls, and more. The new iPad accessory has been launched in two color options, namely black and white, and can be adjusted from under three feet of height to over five feet as well. The HoverBar Tower from Twelve South works with all iPad models and holds the tablets via a clip design, while it has a weighted base and three tower post poles. This accessory retails for 130 US Dollars. However, the company has yet to make this available for purchase, but we can expect the listing to go live soon

Lastly, Apple also announced a new Mophie power bank that launched alongside the Anker Cube and Twelve South HoverBar. The new power bank is the Mophie Powerstation Plus 10K. This device houses a 10,000mAh battery pack that can offer battery for up to 43 hours of video playback on the go. It even supports up to 27W of fast charging for both the iPhone and the iPad.

Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro are reportedly in the works. Qualcomm is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform in November. It is speculated that soon after Qualcomm’s announcement, Xiaomi will take off covers from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Xiaomi 13 duo. A new leak by tipster Digital Chat Station reveals that the Xiaomi 13 duo will sport narrower bezels than its predecessor.

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 13 will have a curved-edge OLED panel manufactured by a China-based company. It is unclear whether its display will be supplied by CSOT or BOE. The Xiaomi 13 Pro, on the other hand, will come equipped with a Samsung AMOLED E6 display with curved edges. The tipster further said that the bezels of the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro are narrower than those of the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro.

Past reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 13 will have a 6.26-inch display, while the Pro model will be fitted with a 6.7-inch screen. The former may support 1.5K resolution, while the latter may offer Quad HD+ resolution. Both phones are expected to carry support for a 120Hz refresh rate. The Xiaomi 13 may feature a 50-megapixel main camera, whereas the Xiaomi 13 Pro is likely to arrive with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX989 1-inch camera sensor.

The battery size of the Xiaomi 13 is not known yet. However, the 13 Pro may pack a 4,820mAh battery. Both phones may support 67W and 120W fast charging, respectively. The Pro model is also expected to offer 50W wireless charging.

Both devices are speculated to arrive with MIUI 14 flavored Android 13 OS. Earlier today, Xiaomi confirmed the Redmi Note 12 series’ launch date (Oct. 27) for the Chinese market. It appears the teasers for the Xiaomi 13 lineup will surface some days after the Note 12 series goes official.

Apple has transitioned to the Apple Silicon chips, and almost all the devices from the company come powered by its own processors, except for the Mac Pro, which was last launched in the year 2019.

The new Apple Mac Pro is expected to go official sometime next year, and it could end up being the most powerful computer ever launched by the company so far, thanks to the new M2-series processors from the brand.

According to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upcoming Apple Mac Pro will come powered by the new and powerful in-house chips named M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme with 24 CPU and 48 CPU cores, respectively. It will be coupled with a 76-core GPU or 152 cores GPU, along with up to 256GB of RAM.

It is also being reported that Apple is currently testing a Mac Pro configuration that features a 24-core CPU, 76 GPU cores, and 192GB of RAM. It runs the macOS Ventura 13.3 operating system, which is set to roll out today to eligible devices.

The new Apple Mac Pro is expected to launch next year, but no timeframe is available as of now. Ahead of the Mac Pro launch, the company will be launching new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros powered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, as well as a new Mac Mini powered by the M2 chip. These three devices are expected to go official in the coming month, most likely next month.
