Xiaomi’s latest air conditioner is the MIJIA Natural Wind Air-Conditioner 1.5HP. The new air conditioner comes with improved air conditioning capabilities and won the 2022 Red Dot Design Award. The new MIJIA air conditioner uses a metal silver wire drawing spraying process and has a built-in color display. The new air conditioner has several upgrades for greater comfort for users.

The MIJIA air conditioner has a three-dimensional wide-angle wind deflector and a large sweeping range. This implies that the air conditioner provides better performance compared to a traditional up-and-down wind deflector. The new MIJIA air conditioner offers four wind options namely: soft, sky curtain, carpet, and surround. There are 14 built-in scavenging blades each with 48 micro-holes that deliver the needed air comfort.

The MIJIA Natural Wind Air-Conditioner 1.5HP adopts an anti-sudden cooling technology when defrosting. It does not absorb heat from the room during defrosting, unlike traditional models. With the anti-sudden cooling technology, the machine is always in heating mode and it defrosts without stopping any other operations. This serves to improve the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner in the absence of frost. Overall, the new anti-sudden cooling technology enhances the heating capability of the air conditioner.

The air conditioner features quick heating and quick cooling. The compressor speed can be increased ten-fold within a few seconds and there’s no need to wait for a comfortable wind. The air conditioner has a range of operation between -32ºC and 60ºC. The machine is also self-cleaning both internally and externally. It has an antibacterial and mildew-proof filter, as well as a dirty block intelligent reminder.

The MIJIA Natural Wind Air-Conditioner 1.5HP uses a full DC frequency conversion, an electronic expansion valve, and an innovative air duct. It also offers a large circulating air volume of 1.5HP with an estimated yearly energy savings of 112kWh. The air conditioner also passed the Weikai harsh natural environment test and is thus certified.

The MIJIA Natural Wind Air-Conditioner 1.5HP will retail in China at an introductory price of 2,799 yuan (~$409) but the original price is 2,999 yuan (~$438). The new MIJIA air conditioner can be purchased directly from Xiaomi or other retail outlets in China.

Aug 25, 2022

Yamaha will release a compact soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and an affordable price in October. The Yamaha SR-C30A soundbar is priced lower than the Sonos Ray which is the gold standard for budget soundbars.

The Yamaha SR-C30A comes with additional features than the Sonos Ray, thus giving it a competitive edge. It comes with HDMI ARC connectivity, Bluetooth streaming, and a wireless subwoofer for high bass output. The soundbar is quite compact together with the wireless subwoofer. The system will work with 32-inch TVs and larger models and the subwoofer can fit snugly into a small space.

The SR-C30A has two 4.6cm drivers (compared to the four in the Sonos Ray) in the wireless subwoofer. The soundbar will feature virtual surround sound capabilities which can be controlled using the app. How this combines with its minimal number of drivers remains to be seen. Unlike the Sonos Ray, there is no Wi-Fi connectivity or streaming capability for the SR-C30A. However, the multi-point Bluetooth connectivity means that you can switch between different inputs like your smartphone or Amazon Echo Dot.

Some other budget-friendly Yamaha soundbars already on the market are the SR-B20A and SR-C20A. Both models have an impressive output, thus raising similar hopes for the SR-C30A. The Yamaha SR-C30A will be available in October and is priced at $279. Its affordable price could belie the quality on offer on the device. We await the official release of the soundbar to establish its quality rating.

TCL Tab 10 5G with an 8,000mAh battery, 5G connectivity launched for $300

Aug 25, 2022

It is often a challenge to balance performance and affordability in the tablet segment of the tech market. However, the new TCL Tab 10 5G aims to overcome that challenge. The new TCL tablet comes with fast connectivity via its 5G support, as well as long battery life and an affordable price. The new tablet comes with a large full-HD display and a long battery life.

The TCL Tab 10 5G is an inexpensive tablet that squares up with the Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite quite nicely. It has a larger screen, larger battery, and a lower price than the more established Galaxy A7 Lite tablet. The tablet’s display is made by the company’s NXTVISION group. The camera setup of the Tab 10 5G consists of an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. Face identification is featured in the Tab 10 5G and it can be used to unlock the tablet as an added security measure.

The TCL Tab 10 5G offers fast network connectivity on the go and is especially handy on long journeys. Its battery can be used without charging for several hours on a trip. The tablet runs on Android 12 and has 4GB RAM + 32GB of storage, which is quite limiting. It is powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 800T processor. It may not be well-kitted for intense gaming applications or multi-tasking due to the underwhelming RAM capacity.

The TCL Tab 10 5G is available on the T-Mobile network, unlike the slightly more-expensive TCL Tab Pro, which is available on the Verizon network. The Tab 10 5G will retail for $300 but it is unclear whether it is worth the plunge if your desire is a high-performance and versatile tablet.

Earlier this year, Sony launched the flagship Xperia 1 IV. However, the company didn’t announce the anticipated Xperia 5 IV. Now, the Japanese conglomerate has scheduled a launch event on September 1 where it may finally launch the Sony Xperia 5 IV.

The event will take place on September 1 at 4 PM Japan time (3 AM EST). Moreover, it will be live-streamed on the official Sony Xperia YouTube channel, so interested folks can watch it from the comfort of their homes.

The company announced the Xperia event through a teaser posted on YouTube. Interestingly, Sony collaborated with artist Cat Burns who apparently shot and recorded her latest single “People Pleaser” on a new Xperia phone. However, she didn’t specify which Xperia Phone. We believe it’s the long-rumored Xperia 5 IV.

The teaser suggests that the upcoming Xperia smartphone will have a compact form factor. The device will likely have the same pocket-friendly design as other smartphones in the Xperia 5 series.

A recent FCC listing suggested that the Xperia 5 IV’s display will measure 153.5mm diagonally (roughly 6-inch). Moreover, it is listed to come equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port.

The details about the device are still pretty short. It is expected to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc. But the possibility of an older Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor cannot be zeroed. In addition, it may feature a 120Hz OLED display, IP68 water resistance, a triple camera system, and dual stereo speakers.

The pricing and other details of the device are yet to be known. More details will definitely surface ahead of the launch. We’ll keep you posted.

Since last year, Huawei has been licensing its consumer electronics products to a telecom equipment manufacturer called TD Tech in China. This firm has so far released multiple Huawei smartphones under its own brand. Unlike Huawei, the same phones sold by TD Tech come with 5G connectivity.

Today, the said company took to Weibo to announce yet another handset. This device is officially called TD Tech P50. As the name suggests, it is nothing but a rebranded Huawei P50.

The differences between the original and the new model are that the latter carries support for 5G connectivity and ships with different software. Since TD Tech is more of an enterprise-facing company, it also provides customization for businesses.

Apart from the aforementioned dissimilarities, the TD Tech P50 is essentially a Huawei P50. Therefore, it arrives with a 6.5-inch 10-bit 90Hz OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, 4,100mAh battery, and 66W fast wired charging support.

The smartphone also houses a triple camera system on its rear. The setup consists of a 50MP primary sensor, 13MP ultra-wide unit, and 12MP 5x telephoto shooter. On the front, it sports a 13MP snapper for selfies and video calls.

TD Tech is yet to reveal the pricing and availability of this handset. The phone will be probably sold in limited quantities, like the previous models from the company.
