Mar 22, 2022

The Sony PlayStation 5 launched back in November 2020, however, it has been difficult to grab one even in 2022.

After starting the Open Beta program for the OnePlus 9R, 8T, 8 Pro, and 8 last month, OnePlus is now rolling out stable OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12 for these devices. There are a ton of changes with the update, and as far as we can tell, all phones share the same changelog. Let’s just dive straight into it before everything else:

OnePlus warns of a couple of bugs too here, although they’re UI-related and shouldn’t be too big a cause of bother. The clock widget displays a bit bigger than it should and the Phone app may be replaced by Contacts in the dock following the update.

The builds are currently only rolling out in the OBT (open beta test) branch as part of a staged rollout but they should be released in the stable branch too, soon enough.

While the OnePlus 8T and the OnePlus 8 series have bagged OxygenOS 12 in India and North America both, the OnePlus 9R is only getting the same in India. OnePlus says the builds for Europe will take a while since it requires “additional validation steps.”

Apple accused of holding an illegal monopoly on heart rate apps for Apple Watch

Mar 22, 2022

Earlier this week, a federal judge in the US said that Apple is facing a claim that states that it is illegally holding a monopoly over its heart rate monitoring apps on its Apple Watch in the United States market.

According to a Reuters report, US District Judge Jeffrey White stated that AliveCor Inc has claimed that it can prove that the Cupertino based giant has violated federal antitrust law. As per the claim, the iPhone maker allegedly has “complete control” on the market over similar apps. For those unaware, AliveCor Inc is behind the SmartRythm app that alerts the users to irregular heartbeats.

The judge added that “AliveCor alleges that Apple made changes to the heart rate algorithm that made it effectively impossible for third parties to inform a user when to take an ECG. Plaintiff’s allegations plausibly establish that Apple’s conduct was anticompetitive.” At the same time, Judge White also dismissed a separate claim for AliveCor, which claimed that Apple maintained an illegal monopoly over its ECG enabled smartwatches. Unfortunately, Apple has yet to provide any comments regarding this matter. Although, this isn’t the first time AliveCor has filed a complaint against the brand.

Back in 2020, the company had accused Apple for infringing on its patents based on its ECG features. In 2021, it also claimed that AliveCor was accused of changing the heart rate algorithm, which gave its proprietary system an “unfair competitive edge” over its competitors or possibly even putting “countless AliveCor users’ lives in danger” since they rely on their systems to offer them alerts. However, the American brand had countered this claim by saying that it was an “uncontroversial proposition that product improvement by itself” and did not violate the federal Sherman antitrust law.

OPPO Find X5 Pro can now be placed on chest to measure heart rate

Mar 22, 2022

OPPO announced the OPPO Find X5 Pro globally ahead of MWC 2022. It is the latest flagship smartphone from the company and the successor of last year’s OPPO Find X3 Pro. Almost a month after its debut, the company introduces an interesting feature.

Find X5 Pro Review 15 — OPPO Find X5 Pro (Review)

The OPPO Find X5 Pro can be now used to measure heart rate in China. The phone does not use an optical fingerprint-heart rate combo sensor like the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the realme GT2 Pro.

Instead, it relies on an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor, which is capable of measuring triaxial acceleration and triaxial angular velocity. OPPO is the world’s first smartphone manufacturer to measure heart rate using an IMU sensor, which consists of an accelerometer and a gyroscope.

In order to measure heart rate using their OPPO Find X5 Pro, users need to open the OPPO Health app (v3.13 or above), navigate to Heart Rate > Phone Heart Rate Measurement, and place the handset on their chest. Alternately, users can ask OPPO Xiaobu (Breeno) virtual assistant “measure heart rate” to access the feature quickly.

The heart rate data will be displayed on the screen within 12-15 seconds. The result will be based on the vibration reading through the IMU sensor and OPPO Health algorithm processing.

We are not sure how accurate the readings are. Either way, it is not recommended to rely on this feature for medical use. The same can be said for every fitness-focused wearable available in the market. Only consider them as a tool to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle.

The POCO X4 Pro 5G made its global debut at the Mobile World Congress 2022. We listed it as one of the best smartphones at the trade show. Weeks after its announcement, the handset has been now confirmed to release in India next week.

POCO X4 Pro 5G Laser Blue — POCO X4 Pro 5G

The POCO X4 Pro 5G will be launching in India on March 28. The virtual event will be live-streamed on the brand’s official YouTube channel from 12 PM IST. We also expect live tweets from the company’s official Twitter account.

As far as the device is concerned, we know everything about it since it is not only already official but also on sale in multiple regions for weeks. In some markets, it also comes with a free YouTube Premium subscription. We are not sure if this offer will be available in India.

But we are somewhat certain that the phone will lack NFC in the country. Further, going by the image tweeted by the brand, the handset will arrive with a 64MP main camera instead of a 108MP sensor like the original model.

The POCO X4 Pro 5G is a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G with a tweaked design and a cheaper price tag. Hence, it has the exact same set of features.

The smartphone comes with a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, liquid cooling technology, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, 108MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera system, 16MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, IP53 rating, MIUI 13 based on Android 11, 5,000mAh battery, and 67W fast charging.

As the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (Remi Note 11 Pro 5G) starts at ₹20,999 in India, the POCO X4 Pro 5G will likely cost ₹19,999 or lower.

Here, it was announced that the company has just shipped its first 500 units of its Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i models in the country, which marks the first ever order for its DM-i models outside of China.

For those unaware, the Chinese automobile maker had entered the Colobian passenger car market back in 2019. Since then, the brand has delivered thousands of electric passenger cars to Bogota, Medellin and other cities as well. Motorysa stated that these two new models arrive with a trendy and futuristic exterior design and are equipped with BYD’s latest DM-i hybrid platform, which means it combines stylish design with powerful performance.

Motorysa further added the new electric vehicles will also help promote the development of the nation’s new energy vehicle industry. Just last year, BYD had received orders for more than 1,550 electric powered buses from the country. Notably, this accounted for 96.5 percent of the region’s electric bus market and 99 percent of the capital Bogota’s electric bus market as well.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was the last entry in the series, which is based on a Polish series of fantasy novels. While the first two titles also saw decent sales, this title basically thrusted the series into mainstream popularity. Notably, there is even a critically acclaimed Netflix series based on the same setting and name. Now, the studio has announced that it is working on the new game with a multi year partnership with Epic Games. This will have CD Projekt Red built a new Witcher game on the Unreal Engine 5 game engine.

For those unaware, the studio has been using its proprietary REDengine technology for its games. But with the partnership, CD Projekt Red will have access to tailor made tools and assistance from Epic Games for the latest generation of Unreal Engine. This REDengine had even powered the infamous Cyberpunk 2077 as well. The company added that this engine will continue to power 2077, with the Witcher 3 also receiving a new gen console upgrade later this year.

While the studio hasn’t shared any finer details at the moment, CD Projekt Red CTO Paweł Zawodny stated that “One of the core aspects of our internal RED 2.0 Transformation is a much stronger focus on technology, and our cooperation with Epic Games is based on this principle. From the outset, we did not consider a typical licensing arrangement; both we and Epic see this as a long-term, fulfilling tech partnership. It is vital for CD PROJEKT RED to have the technical direction of our next game decided from the earliest possible phase as; in the past, we spent a lot of resources and energy to evolve and adapt REDengine with every subsequent game release.”
