Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has launched the MIJIA Humidifier 2 in China. The second-gen MIJIA Humidifier comes two years after the release of the MIJIA Humidifier. It also arrives with five major upgrades over its predecessor but retains the 99-yuan (~$15) price tag of the previous model.

The earlier model, the MIJIA Humidifier had a 4L capacity and up to 36 hours of humidification. It thus eliminated the stress of frequent water injections. The MIJIA Humidifier 2 has an upgraded fog volume from 280mL/h to 300mL/h. It has a built-in ceramic core atomizing sheet that helps to block water particles. The atomized micron water particles are then sprayed at 300mL/h to provide greater hydration. Unlike its predecessor, the new model does not require you to lift the lid to add water to the humidifier. The new model also provides 360 degrees rotation for more effective humidification of the room. The previous model only operated in a single direction.

The second-generation MIJIA Humidifier provides up to 99.9% silver ion antibacterial action, which is a marginal improvement from the first-generation model. It has also included a visual transparent water gauge, unlike its predecessor. The new Mijia humidifier has a 4L container and can provide up to 30 hours of humidification. It does not require frequent addition of water and its antibacterial action prevents bacterial breeding inside the tank. The MIJIA Humidifier 2 is currently available in China and global availability details are not known at this time.

Logitech G and Tencent Joined hands to Build a Cloud Gaming Handheld

Aug 2, 2022

Logitech G and Tencent Games are joining hands to bring a cloud gaming handheld for the users later this year. The handheld will apparently be an amalgamation of Logitech G’s hardware expertise and Tencent’s software services. It will support multiple cloud gaming services.

Both the companies are also working with the Xbox Cloud Gaming and NVIDIA GeForce NOW to enable gamers to play AAA games on the go.

From the announcement blog, it’s clear that the upcoming handheld will be cloud gaming-focused. For the unversed, Cloud gaming utilizes data center servers to stream video games to consumers. Gamers do not need to download or install games on their PC or console because they are rendered and played on remote servers.

“Logitech G’s leadership in PC and console gaming gear make them an ideal partner to help us realize the vision of bringing a better gaming experience to gamers around the globe,” said Daniel Wu, general manager of Tencent Games Smart Solution Innovation Lab. “Today marks the start of a new opportunity for our companies to further push the frontiers of gaming devices.”

“As one of the leading global platforms for game development, publishing and operations, Tencent Games has been at the forefront of innovation and it’s why we partnered with them,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G. “As someone that grew up playing video games, the idea of being able to stream and play AAA games almost anywhere is super exciting, and we can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on.”

The design and other details about the gaming handheld are yet to be revealed. However, back in r/SteamDeck subreddit (Via GSMarena) discovered a patent filing by Tencent, which showcased images of a gaming handheld.

It’s likely that the handheld discovered in the patent filing would be a totally different one because Logitech will definitely want to design the upcoming handheld itself. However, it may share some design elements.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless retailer listing reveals the design and details

Aug 2, 2022

Sennheiser teased an upcoming wireless headset in June which promises to deliver over 60 hours of playback time. The headset is expected to be The Momentum 4 Wireless, the successor to the aging Momentum 3 Wireless. Indeed, the name and some details of the headphones have been by a listing on Canada Computers & Electronics.

The earlier teaser by Sennheiser pointed to an August launch for the wireless headset. In other words, Sennheiser may only be a few days away from officially announcing the Momentum 4 Wireless. Regardless, Canada Computers & Electronics has released the design, color options, and specs of the headset.

Sennheiser has revamped the Momentum Wireless for the fourth iteration, as expected. Sennheiser, for some reason, has followed Sony’s lead and abandoned the folding design. The Momentum 4 Wireless can fold flat; however, its ear cups cannot hinge to provide a more compact appearance when stored. As a result, the Momentum 4 Wireless has a larger carry case compared to its predecessor.

Sennheiser also looks to have integrated touch controls this time around, as opposed to the Momentum 3 Wireless’ button-heavy design. Separate photographs of the headphones’ packaging reveal the inclusion of adaptive noise canceling (ANC), Qualcomm aptX Adaptive compatibility, and a battery with a battery life of up to 60 hours. In comparison, the Momentum 3 Wireless has a battery life of up to 17 hours. In addition, the Momentum 4 Wireless will be capable of 96 kHz and 24-bit at 420 kbit/s output.

Canada Computers & Electronics lists the Momentum 4 Wireless at CAD 449.95 (~$350). In comparison, the Momentum 3 Wireless was originally priced at CAD 529.95 (~$411) in Canada, but Sennheiser now sells the headphones for CAD 369.95 (~$287). This implies that the Momentum 4 Wireless will be less expensive in other markets.

For optics, the vanilla variant has a 50-megapixel primary sensor that is paired with a 2-megapixel secondary shooter and a 2-megapixel macro lens. The Reno 8 Pro features a 50-megapixel primary camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens and a 2-megapixel macro sensor.

An Unknown Google wireless device has been spotted on the US FCC website ahead of the company’s big fall launch event. The FCC reveals no information about what this new device will be. The device has been listed on the website with the model number G28DR and supports Bluetooth and Wifi.

As initially spotted by 9to5Google, the Google device has appeared on the FCC website with model number G28DR. The device is certified for use with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It is not listed with any other common connectivity options like NFC or UWB, so it will likely not be a smartphone or tablet. It is also revealed that the mysterious device will have a 3.65V battery.

For signal testing, the Google device was connected via USB to a laptop, which suggests the device will be chargeable through a standard USB connection. The device could be the next member of Google’s Nest lineup because the company hasn’t revealed many smart devices this year.

The details about this unknown Google device are still pretty short. And the tech giant has of course not revealed any details about it yet. We hope to learn more about it in the coming days.

In related news, Google recently started rolling out the Android 13 beta to the newly launched Pixel 6a. The new Android 13 Beta version will be the only Beta build that the Pixel 6a will receive before they directly upgrade to Android 13 OS. The Pixel 6a is also expected to receive an OTA update that will bump the security patch level to August.

Xiaomi MiGu Headband will let users control Smart Home products with their Minds

Xiaomi is known for creating innovative products that appear to have come straight from a utopian novel. Take the latest CyberDog for example, the four-legged robot can mimic the actions and behavior of a dog. It can walk, run, jump and even perform a backflip (yep). Today, the company has showcased the Xiaomi MiGu headband which will apparently let users control smart home products with their minds using brain waves. As per the company, the headband is a part of the project that won the first prize in the third online hackathon of Xiaomi Group. The Xiaomi MiGu headband is claimed to not only allow users to control their smart homes with their minds but will also monitor fatigue during driving through brain waves (Via ItHome).

The engineer of the project said that he hopes to enable everyone to enjoy a more convenient smart life with a more natural way of interaction.

The team behind the MiGu headband claims that there are three points set on the MiGu headband, which help it obtain electrical signals. Moreover, it can also roughly read the user’s EEG (Electroencephalography) using the potential difference between the points.

For the unversed, EEG is a test that measures electrical activity in the brain. People produce different EEG waveforms in different emotional states and the Xiaomi headband uses artificially labeled machine learning to map these waveforms.As mentioned, the Xiaomi MiGu headband is a project that won the Xiaomi online hackathon and it is unclear whether the headband will be commercialized or not. In any case, the product seems quite interesting and it will likely draw a lot of attention if the company decides to sell it.

Do you think this product can change the way we interact with technology? And would you buy it if the company decides to commercialize it?

Motorola has been doing an intense teaser campaign for its upcoming Razr 2022 and X30 Pro smartphones. Both the handsets were scheduled to launch tonight at 7:30 PM IST at a special event. Now, Motorola and a Lenovo official announced through Weibo that the launch event has been canceled. The company hasn’t given any reason for the cancellation and hasn’t specified the new launch date.

Motorola has canceled today’s Razr 2022 and X30 Pro launch event. It was initially announced by Lenovo’s General Manager for China, Chen Jin through a Weibo post. The machine-translated version of the post read “I’m sorry to inform everyone that the moto new product launch event scheduled to be held at 7:30 tonight has been canceled for some reason. We still sincerely hope to bring new moto products to everyone and still be the moto that Chinese users like.”

“We are deeply sorry for this and thank you for your enthusiastic support for Moto’s new products. For information about new products, you can continue to pay attention to Moto’s official information platform,” said Motorola through its official Weibo handle.

The company has not specified any reason behind the cancellation. It could be related to the rising political tension in China due to the US White House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan later today.

It’s not certain if these events are related. Motorola could have also canceled the event due to some internal problems. In any case, all we can do is wait for some clarification from the company. We’ll keep an eye out and let you know about any new development.

Qualcomm recently announced the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 premium wearable platforms. Chinese tech giant OPPO earlier today released a teaser on China’s microblogging platform Weibo that confirmed that its upcoming Watch 3 Series smartwatch will be powered by the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 platform. Now, well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station has hinted that the OPPO Watch 3 Series will be officially unveiled on August 10th.

The appearance of this upcoming watch series has also been revealed ahead of time. The watch will have an ECG support feature and an LTPO adaptive refresh rate panel, according to the leaker.

With rounded corners and a glossy, textured frame that gives it a luxurious appearance, the Watch 3 Series appears to have a similar design to Apple watches. The watch also features a working button and a crown that can turn. Additionally, there is a speaker grill on one side, indicating that eSIM standby calling will be available.

The Watch 3 Series’ Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor is based on the 4nm architecture and has low power Wi-Fi, GNSS, and audio islands as well as low power states like Deep Sleep and Hibernate.

Along with a host of other features, it supports 3D watch faces, 3D maps and navigation, real-time 2-way smart calling, smart device controls, and much more. We might anticipate that the Watch 3 Series will have a longer battery life than the Watch 2 Series because this chip is more energy-efficient.

Apple is expected to unveil its iPhone 14 lineup in September. The next-generation flagship series will comprise the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Earlier in March this year, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that only the Pro models would come with Apple’s next-generation A16 processor. This meant that the non-Pro variants would stick with last year’s chipset. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also agreed to the rumour.

Despite using *some* old hardware, iPhone 14 non pro still have some overall performance boost over the iPhone 13 series
New cellular modem, new internals design, ect

— ShrimpApplePro 🍤 (@VNchocoTaco) August 1, 2022

In a new development, a leaker named ShrimpApplePro said that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will still have better performance compared to the iPhone 13 series. This is despite both the upcoming offerings being powered by the A15 processor that is found in the iPhone 13 lineup. The non-Pro iPhone 14 will still offer an overall performance boost over their predecessors. This is said to be due to a new cellular modem, new internal design, and other changes etc. The other improvements are tipped to be 6GB RAM which is 2GB more than the iPhone 13 lineup as well as a new and more efficient modem that is said to be smaller, use less power, and offer high performance.

To date, Apple has followed a strategy of equipping all of its latest iPhones with the same chipset. The ongoing chip shortages are said to have contributed to Apple’s decision in limiting the iPhone 14 and 14 Max to the A15 processor.

India’s 5G spectrum auction has finally ended. The auction for 51,236 MHz of the total 72,098 MHz spectrum was announced by Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Telecom Minister. This spectrum, which is valued at Rs. 1,50,173 crore and makes up around 71% of the entire spectrum, is included. Reliance Jio won the auction with the highest bid, buying over half of the airwaves offered for sale in the 5G spectrum auction.

Several bands of the 5G spectrum were bought by Reliance Jio, including the 700MHz, 800MHz, 1800MHz, 3300MHz, and 26GHz bands. Jio, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has stated that India will soon see a 5G rollout. The recently appointed Reliance Jio Chairman, Akash Ambani, announced that the business would roll out 5G throughout all of India in honor of “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.”

In order to commemorate “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav,” Reliance Jio claimed it will bring out “the world’s most advanced 5G network throughout India.” When India commemorates its 75th anniversary of independence on August 15, the company may disclose some information.

Jio placed the highest offer at the 5G spectrum auction, purchasing bands for Rs 88,078 crore. This includes the highly sought-after 700MHz 5G spectrum, which is supposed to provide a stronger signal.

The telco has over 400 million active users. Jio further stated that its 5G solution is made in India, by Indians and to suit the need of every Indian. “Jio is fully ready for 5G rollout in the shortest period of time because of its nationwide fiber presence, all-IP network with no legacy infrastructure, indigenous 5G stack, and strong global partnerships across the technology ecosystem,” the company further said in its press release.

Jio’s arch-rival Airtel was the second highest bidder. Airtel bought 19,867 MHz airwaves across different bands for Rs 43,084 crore. Vodafone Idea (Vi) bought spectrum for Rs 18,784 crore. 5G services are expected to roll out in India by October.

In the upcoming weeks, Spotify Premium subscribers will have more control thanks to an upgrade that separates the play and shuffle buttons. The play and shuffle buttons are currently unified for users of Spotify Premium and Spotify Free.

“This new change will allow you to choose the mode you prefer at the top of playlists and albums and listen the way you want to,” Spotify wrote on its blog. “Whether you love the joy of the unexpected with Shuffle mode, or prefer listening to tunes in order by simply pressing Play, Spotify has you covered.”

Spotify listeners may remember that the platform also provided only the “shuffle play” option for albums, which frustrated many of the artists. This changed when multiple Grammy Award winner Adele tweeted at Spotify last year saying “We don’t create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason.” The platform now displays the standard play button by default on album pages instead of the play/shuffle combo.

The separation of the play and shuffle buttons comes as a welcome change to the status quo, however, it does seem to be quite ridiculous that Sportify is opting to lock out such a basic function behind a paywall and not make it available to its free users.

Nothing could be working on its next phone. According to a report by The Mobile Indian, the next Nothing smartphone could be called the Phone (1) Lite. The moniker of the device suggests that it will be an inferior version of the Nothing Phone (1), which debuted last month. Before reading ahead, readers are advised to digest the leak with a pinch of salt as the company has denied the existence of the Nothing Phone (1) Lite.

It has been just a few days since the Nothing Phone (1) has been made available for purchase. The company has already encountered issues like shipment delays and quality issues with the device. Hence, it appears that Nothing will not be talking about the Phone (1) Lite even if it exists.

Nothing Phone (1) hands-on — Nothing Phone (1)

The report reveals that the Nothing Phone (1) Lite will be almost identical to the Phone (1), but it will lack two features. The Lite model will not have the LED layout called the Glyph interface on the back, and it will lack support for wireless charging. It may house a larger 5,000mAh battery.

Apart from these changes, the Lite (1) may not differ from the Phone (1). The device could be bundled with a 42W charger. However, it will only support 33W rapid charging. The publication claims that the Phone (1) Lite may break cover during the upcoming festive season in India.

To recall, the Nothing Phone (1) has a 6.55-inch AMOLED Full HD+ display that produces a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 778G+ and comes with 8 GB/12 GB of RAM, 128 GB/256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 4,500mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. It has a 16-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) dual-camera setup.

The Nothing Phone (1) Lite could be priced under Rs 25,000. The report states that Phone (1) may receive a price cut during the next festive season in India.
