Xiaomi has released software version 1.19.15 updated for the Smart Band 7. The rollout of the latest update starts in China and delivers several improvements to the device. Apart from bug fixes, there are a few more features added to the Smart Band 7. The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 was released two months ago in China and globally last month.

The new software version is an upgrade from version 1.16.07 from last month. Xiaomi has added a wall clock to the 1.62-inch AMOLED display and interval training for some sports modes. Several bugs were addressed with the new update including overlapping messages, frequent resetting of the vibration intensity, and freezing. Xiaomi also says that power consumption will be optimized with the latest update. It is unclear whether the battery life of the Smart Band 7 could increase beyond 14 days due to this update.

Although the software version of 1.19.15 is not yet available globally, we expect it to roll out shortly. The update can be downloaded using the Zepp Life app and paired with the smartwatch. This month Xiaomi released the Brand 7 Pro to the global market. The new smartwatch comes with some visible improvements over its predecessor.

Jul 26, 2022

Samsung has decided to add a new color to the Samsung Galaxy S22 variants. The “Bora Purple” color option for the device will be available next month at carriers and retail shops. Samsung’s new Bora Purple color is the eighth color choice for the Galaxy S22. Previously available hues included Phantom White, Phantom Black, Graphite, Green, Sky Blue, and Cream. Samsung hopes that the new color will “evoke joy, spark creativity, and embrace individuality.”

Violet, the first purple color in the Galaxy S22 series, was previously exclusively accessible via Samsung’s online shop. Compared to the current violet color, Bora Purple is a little bit darker. Since the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S9, Samsung has long been a fan of the color purple. Even recent products like the Galaxy Z Flip 3 used the color.

On August 10, the day of the next Galaxy Unpacked event, the Bora Purple Galaxy S22 will go on sale. You may purchase it from Samsung or your chosen carrier, which may be AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or another company. The selling price of the Galaxy S22 in Bora Purple is $799.99.

It goes without saying that the introduction of the new Bora Purple color for the Galaxy S22 should provide a clear indication of the availability of some of the new products anticipated at Galaxy Unpacked. Bora Purple has already been spotted on upcoming gadgets including the Galaxy Z Flip 4, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

Earlier we thought that the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event could take place on August 11, but it is officially going to take place on the 10th of August this year.

Jul 26, 2022

The Asus Zenfone 9 will be introduced during a global event on July 28 (Thursday), and it appears like it will be available for pre-order right away. We found out the details about the smartphone have already been leaked as it is already listed on the Norwegian website Elkjøp, complete with photos, a spec sheet, and even the price.

Asus Zenfone 9 leak — (SOURCE: GSMArena)

Keep in mind that this page may not be ready for publication – since it isn’t scheduled to be released yet – thus some facts may be incorrect. But here’s what the Zenfone 9 is said to be like.

By today’s standards, it won’t be all that little, but it will be small. It is somewhat smaller than the Zenfone 8 in size and weighs 165g. Its dimensions are 146.6 x 68.2 x 9.45mm. In contrast, the Galaxy S22 measures 146 x 70.6 x 7.6mm and weighs 167g.

The phone will have a 5.92″ AMOLED display (manufactured by Samsung) with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Gorilla Glass Victus will protect it. The phone will be water and dust-resistant, with an IP68 classification. The 12MP Sony IMX663 with dual PDAF will be used as the front camera.

There will be two cameras on the rear. The primary module has a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor with “6-axis gimbal stabilization” (1.56″, 1.0 m pixels) (machine translated, could be wrong). 8K video may be captured using this camera. The 12MP ultra-wide camera with an IMX368 sensor is also located on the rear.

Being a true little flagship, the Asus Zenfone 9 will, of course, be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Elkjp advertises four color options in addition to three storage options (8/128GB, 8/256GB, and 16/256GB).

The phone will support GNSS (GPS L1+L5, GLONASS L1, Galileo E1+E5a, BDS, and QZSS) as well as Wi-Fi 6E (axe), Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and 5G (bands: 41, 77, 78, and 79). There will be a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB-C 3.0 port for connected communication.

The 4,300mAh battery (300mAh greater than the model from last year) can also be charged via the USB-C connector. The retail bundle will include a 30W USB-C charger, according to the retailer. On the side, there will be a fingerprint reader (replacing the under-display reader of the old model).

Additionally, August 2024 is listed as the date of the most recent OS upgrade that is assured (about two years from now). “44797” is mentioned as the final guaranteed security patch, although we’re not completely sure what that implies.

Price and availability

The vanilla Asus Zenfone 9 (8/128GB) will cost NOK 8,000 (equivalent to $810/€800) based on Elkjp’s pricing. The fully equipped 16/256GB option costs NOK 9,500 (approximately $960/€960), which is 10% more than the 8/256GB configuration.

Asus will offer four distinct colors- Midnight Black, Moonlight White, Sunset Red, and last but not least Starry Blue.

Samsung is gearing up to launch its next generation of foldable smartphones on August 10th at the Galaxy Unpacked Event 2022. The company is expected to debut two devices at this launch event namely the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 — Image via Onleaks

Ahead of the launch, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has been spotted in a leaked promotional video. Now, reliable tipster Onleaks has leaked the renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 (Via: Giznext). So, let’s take a look at the design and color options of the foldable.

The images reveal the complete design language along with the color options of the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4. The clamshell design remains unchanged, but the camera module looks a bit different. The camera bump is a bit more pronounced compared to the last generation, and it has a two-tone design with the camera module painted in black.

The volume keys and another key (presumably a specialized digital assistant key) can be seen on the Galaxy Z Flip 4’s right panel, while the SIM card tray is located on the left. The speaker grille and USB Type-C port are both located on the bottom panel.

Coming to the color options, the renders showcase the device in black, golden, purple, and light blue colors. These will likely be marketed as Graphite, Pink Gold, Bora Purple, and Blue color options.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 specs (rumored)

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is expected to launch with a 6.7-inch Full HD+ sAMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it will have a 2.1-inch sAMOLED panel on the outside serving as a secondary display.

The phone will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. According to rumors, the battery unit will enable 25W fast charging and have a 3,700mAh capacity.

The smartphone will have two 12-megapixel cameras on the back for photography: a 12-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. We’ll most likely receive a 10-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video chats.

The London-based startup Nothing recently launched its first Android smartphone in the global market dubbed the Nothing Phone (1).

Nothing has been manufacturing the Phone (1) domestically for the Indian market to keep the costs low. Recently, some of the customers have complained of issues with the display of the smartphone like a green tint on the screen, and a black dot near the punch hole.

Now, as the device reaches more customers, new flaws with Nothing Phone (1)’s rear panel are being brought to light.

Quality issue in NOTHING PHONE 1, the wire tape just above the nothing brand is misplaced its identical and looks weird. Also the flash placement is up side down… not placed in symmetrical way!! I guess more QC issues will be visible soon 🤦🏻‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/9glNHKlPj2

— Saaquib Neyazi (@saaquib_neyazi) July 24, 2022

According to multiple Twitter users, their Nothing Phone (1) unit has flaws in its design. These flaws range from an alignment issue with the wire tape on the back panel to the LED flash module being placed upside down. 91mobile’s Ronil Thakkar has also reported difficulties with placing replacement requests for the defective model on Flipkart, with Flipkart reporting an error in taking a return/replacement request.

@flipkartsupport @Flipkart @nothing @nothingsupport Got this unit a couple of days ago, and the piece has an design alignment issue at the rear. I’ve tried several time to place a replacement request, but the app won’t let me proceed the request. Please check the attachment: pic.twitter.com/cMrx4waWx8

Thakkar has also shared the response from Flipkart support which states “Thank you for reaching out to us via DM and sharing the requested order ID. We certainly understand your concern here. Please be assured that the team is actively working towards resolving your issue. We’ll be contacting you to address this further.” According to the report, Flipkart is yet to contact them regarding this issue.

Even more bizarre is the incident that occurred with Twitter user @therational_pi, who upon receiving a defective unit of the Nothing Phone (1) opted for a replacement. However, the company shipped a damaged Nothing Phone (1) to them as a replacement. From the various complaints, it is clear that Nothing has some serious quality control issues, and it remains to be seen how swiftly the company addresses these issues.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 details leak – 10% performance uplift, significant GPU improvements & more

By

-

Jul 26, 2022

Last week, Qualcomm announced that it will be launching the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets on November 15, 2022. Now, ahead of the launch, some details about the SoC have surfaced giving us an idea of what to expect.

According to a WFCCtech report, only TSMC will be taking the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 orders from Qualcomm. The chipset, however, will likely not be made on TSMC’s upcoming 3nm node. This is due to the fact that Apple is TSMC’s most lucrative client and has already reserved fab capacity for the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. So, we are likely looking at Qualcomm using TSMC’s 4nm node again for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. For those unaware, it is the same node on which the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is made.

Samsung has recently started shipping its cutting-edge 3nm node to clients, however, it is reported that no smartphone chipset vendor has approached Samsung for its 3nm GAA chips. A reason for Qualcomm not placing orders with Samsung yet could be the fiasco with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. The chipset was manufactured on Samsung’s 4nm node and was heavily criticized for its thermal and efficiency issues.

Earlier reports have mentioned that Qualcomm could opt for a “1 + 2 + 2 + 3” cluster instead of the “1 + 3 + 4” CPU cluster used on previous Snapdragon chips. This new configuration will have a high-performance core codenamed Makalu, two Makalu cores, two Matterhorn cores, and three Klein R1 cores. These codenames will correspond to Cortex-X3, Cortex-A715, and an updated Cortex-A510, which are the latest CPU architectures unveiled by ARM.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is anticipated to be coupled with Qualcomm’s most recent Snapdragon X70 5G modem in addition to its unique CPU design, enabling it to achieve new peak download speeds while using up to 60% less power. Tipster Yogesh Brar has informed that we can expect significant gains in the GPU performance and around a 10% uplift in the overall performance of the chipset.

Google’s next-generation flagship Pixel 7 series is expected to debut in the coming months. We already know the smartphone’s design that was showcased at the annual I/O Developer conference in May. Now tipster Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz) has tipped key details about the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro’s camera configuration.

The Google Pixel 7 series will arrive as the successors to the Pixel 6 series. The upcoming offering’s predecessors i.e. the regular Pixel 7 comes with a 50MP primary lens paired with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle unit. On the other hand, the Pro model also features an additional 48MP telephoto sensor.

Main: Samsung GN1
Ultrawide: Sony IMX381
Telephoto: Samsung GM1 (Pro)

As per the tipster, the Google Pixel 7 will get a 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor coupled with a Sony IMX381 ultra-wide angle lens. The latter is said to be an upgrade over the 12.3MP IMX380. As for the Google Pixel 7 Pro, it will reportedly come with a 48MP GM1 telephoto lens while the rest of the sensors are claimed to be the same as the regular variant. Both upcoming flagship smartphones from Google are tipped to come with a 10.87MP Samsung sensor at the front for selfies and video calling.

The Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are confirmed to come with the search giant’s next-generation Tensor processor. Both devices will feature an upgraded design starting with an aluminium horizontal bridge on the back panel housing dual cameras in a pill-shaped cutout and a third lens paired with LED flash outside. The Pixel 7 duo will come with a dual-tone finish with a premium glass back panel and ship with Android 13 OS out of the box.

Google Pixel 6a bags better repairability score than its predecessor

By

-

Jul 26, 2022

Google‘s tenacious $450 midrange smartphone, the new Pixel 6a, has been disassembled before it has even been made available to the general public; the launch is set for later this week. Google Pixel 6a received a teardown and a repairability score which is better than its predecessor.

The relentless disassembler PBK took apart a Pixel 6a over the weekend and gave it a very good repairability score of 7/10, better than the Google Pixel 6 Pro’s 5.5/10 score because of its more difficult-to-remove parts, notably the battery unit.

Thankfully, the battery’s center wasn’t as tightly attached as it is on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, so it came out relatively simply. Additionally, Google attaches the display with clips rather than a tonne of adhesive, and the panel can be taken off quite easily.

The Pixel 6a’s “3D thermoformed composite” plastic back, which can also be unglued, makes it unlike other modern glass-bodied phones in that you won’t have to constantly watch over it.

The only ho-hum aspect in terms of repairability is the USB-C charging port that is soldered to the mainboard together with Google’s Tensor chipset and all other silicon paraphernalia, so if you break the port you may be in for a larger repair than needed.

Google, however, recently entered a partnership with iFixit for providing genuine spare parts and repair schematics that should make fixing a Pixel 6a cheaper and easier, in a move to preempt any mandates stemming from the recent Right to Repair Act passing.

The brand-new Google Pixel 6a packaging contained some trash, and there were scuffs on the polycarbonate rear and camera lens bezel when the disassembly unfortunately started. We can only hope that early adopters won’t have similar catastrophes on a frequent basis, since it would again point to Google’s Pixel phone assembly partners’ failings in terms of quality control.

Motorola Edge X30 Pro to cost upward of 3,000 yuan ($445): Report

Jul 26, 2022

Lenovo-owned Motorola is gearing up to launch the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra in the global market. The same device will release with the Motorola Edge X30 Pro moniker in China.

Ahead of its August 2 launch, the general manager of Lenovo China mobile phone business department, Chen Jin has hinted at the pricing of the upcoming Moto X30 Pro. According to a MyDrivers report, Chen Jin revealed that the Moto X30 Pro will be priced higher than the Moto Edge X30.

For those unaware, the Motorola Edge X30 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset launched with a 2,999 yuan (about $445) starting price tag back in December 2021. So it is pretty obvious that its successor that’s coming with the new and improved Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset will be priced higher.

However, that’s not the only reason for the increased price tag as the device will also debut with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP1 primary camera sensor. This camera sensor is quite large, reaching 1/1.22 inches, has a unit pixel area of 0.64μm, and supports ChameleonCell pixel synthesis. It is also quite expensive, which is likely the reason for the price hike with the device over its vanilla variant.

Motorola Edge X30 Pro specs (rumored)

The Moto X30 Pro, according to previous rumors, will sport a 4.500mAh battery with 125W fast charging, a 6.73-inch P-OLED FHD+ 144Hz display, and up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, with up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Additionally, wireless charging will be supported.

The X30 Pro will be the first smartphone in the world to sport a 200-megapixel camera. A 12-megapixel telephoto lens and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens will be attached to this camera. A 60-megapixel front camera will be available for selfies.

Dyson‘s V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has been released in India. It is able to clean floors, difficult-to-reach regions, and mattresses properly to provide the greatest deep cleaning experience. To accomplish the greatest deep cleaning experience, this vacuum cleaner can pick up particles as minute as 10 microns and includes an acoustic piezo sensor for scientific confirmation.

The Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum has a sophisticated five-stage filtration system that can capture up to 99.99 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns and has a battery life of up to 60 minutes. This vacuum has a Dyson Hyperdymium motor that can create up to 240 air watts of suction for the deepest cleaning possible. The new Dyson V15 Cord-Free vacuum is engineered with 1.5 times more suction and 54% more bin capacity compared to the V12 Slim Complete Clean.

The brand-new conical brush bar’s anti-tangle spiral design swirls hair off and into the trash can, preventing hair from wrapping around the brush bar. The 56 hair removal vanes on the innovative brush bar technology are precisely oriented to move all hair types into the cleaner head.

While the piezo sensor measures and counts sucked-up particles and intelligently adjusts suction power across various floor types, the laser technology reveals buried dust. The LCD screen accurately shows the size and quantity of particles sucked up, assuring a thorough cleaning.

The vacuums are also set up to automatically increase suction power when they come into contact with a lot of dust. When a considerable concentration of dust is detected by the piezo sensor, reactive suction power is immediately encouraged to increase in strength. The suction power returns to its previous level as soon as the dust concentration returns to normal.

The Dyson V15 Detect Cord-Free Vacuum Cleaner is already available at Dyson.in, Amazon.in, and Dyson Demo shops. The vacuum cleaner is priced at Rs. 62,900 (~$789).

ASUS has just launched a couple of new laptops in the Indian market that are a part of its ROG (Republic of Gamers) series of gaming products. Two of the latest launches includes the new ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 and the ROG Flow X16.

ROG Zephyrus Duo 16

Talking about the Zephyrus model first, the gaming laptop features a dual display design. It sports a 14.1 inch touchscreen display that supports up to 4K resolution. Under the hood, the laptop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor that is paired with up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. Since the laptop features some powerful specs, the company has offered the ROG Intelligent Cooling system with 84 blade Arc Flow fans and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal compound on the CPU that can lower the temperature by up to 15° Celsius compared to traditional thermal pastes.

The gaming laptop is powered by a large 90Whr battery pack that supports USB Type C 100W power delivery fast charging. The secondary ScreenPad Plus display can also be configured to feature up to 4K resolution as well. ROG Nebula Display on the Zephyrus Duo 16 supports Dolby Vision HD, Adaptive Sync, 500 nits of peak brightness, and also supports Pantone validated with 100 percent DCI P3 color gamut. Notably, both panels support both touch and stylus input while an IR camera on the front offers Windows Hello support as well.

ROG Flow X16

The company also launched another model in the region, which is the ROG Flow X16. This model sports a 16 inch display and is also XG Mobile compatible that means it can fit in an ultra compact 15 inch chassis. But despite its compact design, it still packs a punch with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU. This processor is paired with up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card. In other words, this gaming laptop will be able to run titles that support Ray Tracing technology for improved visual fidelity.

Similarly, the laptop will also feature a dedicated Frost Force cooling system that is combined with Pulsar Heatsink. This model is also equipped with the Nebula HDR Display that is powered by AmLED technology. Its screen panel has 512 local dimming zones as well, which should help reduce the blooming effect that is seen in on some HDR enabled panels.

Pricing & Availability

ASUS has just launched the two new gaming laptops in India, which will be available for purchase through both online and offline channels. The ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 will have a starting price of 249,000 INR (roughly 3,122 US Dollars) while the ROG Flow X16 starts from 179,990 INR (roughly 2,257 US Dollars).
