Feb 8, 2022

The Jaunty Plus electric scooter is the latest offering by AMO Electric which is billed for unveiling on February 15 in India. The electric scooter comes with some impressive features that will place it on a high pedestal to provide strong competition to established brands in the market. The AMO Jaunty Plus is priced at Rs. 1,10,460 ($1,478) (ex-showroom) and it will be on offer across the company’s extensive network of showrooms (up to 140) across the sub-continent.

AMO Electric is a Noida-based electric vehicle manufacturer that is fast growing in reputation and expanding its EV lineup. The Jaunty Plus seems to be a revamped and more powerful version of the AMO Jaunty electric scooter. It has a bigger range than the Jaunty and several other innovations. AMO Electric is offering a three-year warranty for the e-scooter which will come in five dual-tone color options. These are red-black, yellow-black, white-black, grey-black, and blue-black.

The AMO Jaunty Plus is powered by a fixed and portable 60v/40 Ah lithium-ion battery which delivers energy to a brushless DC motor. The e-scooter is capable of achieving drive distances up to 120km, although the top speed and other performance metrics are lacking for the e-scooter at this time. Fast charging support means that the Jaunty Plus can be fully recharged within four hours. The suspension and braking system is also a bit decent and impressive. The Jaunty Plus comes with a side stand sensor, a USB charging port, digital instrument cluster, central locking, and an engine kill switch, amongst other features.

The Jaunty Plus sports a conventional scooter design but comes with lots of technical advancements, and in the words of the company, it will continue to provide the best-in-class EV mobility solutions and service. The price tag and extensive features of the Jaunty Plus e-scooter could excite the growing Indian market, but the first few days after its release on February 15 will point to a possible direction for the e-scooter.

Realme will take wraps off its new Realme C35 budget smartphone in Thailand on February 10. Ahead of its launch, the phone has passed several certification sites revealing key specs. Now, we have received live shots of the smartphone.

We get to see the Realme C35 in two different shades – Green and Black. It is just in line with the renders, where we saw two of these colors. Furthermore, the rear design is visible. The smartphone has a triple rear camera system with a camera island inspired by its Realme 9 Pro siblings.

It comes with two sensors placed vertically one after another and the third sensor placed offset from the two camera lenses. The phone seems to have a shiny back.

Previously, we learned that the smartphone has 50MP cameras. So, out of these three sensors, the primary lens will be a 50MP snapper. Although the phone’s front design isn’t visible, the renders as well as the rumors confirmed an 8MP selfie camera. The device has a waterdrop notch display. We can expect it to be an LCD panel.

The Realme C35 will pack a 5,000mAh battery and is expected to have 18W of fast charging support. It will come with a power button on the right spine that will double up as a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The device will come powered by the UNISOC T616 SoC and have 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. It will boot on Android 11OS.

AnTuTu January 2022 iOS device rankings: M1 iPads remain dominant with a huge lead

Feb 8, 2022

Benchmarking platform AnTuTu has released its January performance rankings list for iOS devices. The rankings largely remain unchanged compared to December.

The data represented below was collected between January 1 to January 31 and is the average running score of the listed device rather than its highest running score. It is done so to better represent the day-to-day performance of these devices.

Like last month, the M1 equipped iPad Pro (12.9-inch) retains the first spot with an average running score of 1255349. It is closely followed by the iPad Pro 11-inch variant which scores 1187014 points for second place. The 2018 iPad Pro 3rd gen still remains in the 3rd position with 1187014 points while running the A12X Bionic chip.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max is inching closer to entering the top 3 and comes in at 4th with 847981 points. The next six Apple devices making up the top 10 rankings are the iPhone 13 Pro with an average score of 841365, iPad Pro 4 (12.9-inch) with an average score of 830609, iPad Pro 4 (11-inch) The average score is 824218 points, the average score of iPad Pro 3 (11-inch) is 809178 points, the average score of iPad mini 6 is 808143 points, and the average score of iPhone 13 is 803254 points.

There is no major change compared to December’s rankings other than the iPad Pro 3rd gen (11-inch) and iPad mini 6 interchanging the 8th and 9th rankings. The overall scores have only changed by a few hundred points compared to the scores of December which are considered pretty normal. The list probably won’t see much change till the release of a new iPhone or a new iPad.

On the topic of new releases, Apple is reportedly working on the iPad Air 5 and the iPhone SE 3 which have already entered mass production and will likely debut in the month of March.

Out of these, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most anticipated device, so let’s take a look at what we know about the device so far.

Design & Display

Starting off with the front design, the S22 Ultra doesn’t look all that different from the Note 20 Ultra released back in August 2020. And unlike its more affordable siblings, the phone also doesn’t appear to have uniform bezels all around, courtesy of the ever-so-slight chin.

On the back is where the device differs the most. It features a flat rear without any camera island. This time around, the camera and sensors placed in the top left corner protrude from the back panel only making for a clean-looking design. So far, the device has been shown in three color variants namely Green, Burgundy, and White. Overall, the phone measures 163.3 x 77.9 x 8.9mm.

Coming to the display, it will feature a 6.8-inch QHD+ (3080 x 1440 pixels) Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, with support for HDR10+, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and 1,750nits peak brightness.

Cameras

The Galaxy S22 Ultra will feature a quad-camera setup at the back with a primary 108MP Super Clear lens with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS support. The primary sensor is touted to be an enhanced ISOCELL HM3 or ISOCELL HM4.

The device will pack a 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom with f/2.4 aperture and another 10MP lens with 10x zoom and an f/4.9 aperture. Upfront, it will equip a 40MP shooter with an f/2.2 aperture.

The device is also said to come with an AI-powered image quality enhancement mode which will help enhance the details, colors, and brightness of the images fully utilizing the potential of the massive 108MP primary sensor.

Performance

The device will have the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC under its hood and will also come with Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 SoC in some regions. If the reports are to be believed, then this time, there will be more regions getting the Qualcomm-powered model.

The storage configurations revealed so far are 8GB + 128GB, 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 12GB + 1TB. However, it is worth noting that the 1TB storage variant will only debut in select markets.

It will be running the latest Android 12 operating system with Samsung One UI on top. The device will come with a 5000mAh battery size and support 45W fast charging which will be the highest yet for a Samsung smartphone. The device will also come with an S Pen which is said to be almost 3 times faster than the Note 20 Ultras’.

Pricing and Availability

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is rumored to launch in South Korea at around $1,210 for the 256GB variant and around $1,333 for the 512GB variant. The device will go live for pre-orders following its launch tomorrow (February 9th) and is said to start shipping from February 25th.

Feb 8, 2022

The convergence in technology and the similarity of some components used by Apple for manufacturing iPads and MacBooks, is fueling research on technology to bridge the gap between the iPad and the MacBook. According to Patently Apple, a new patent granted the Cupertino-based company shows a hinged keyboard mechanism that could provide the keyboard environment and support that will effectively allow an iPad to function as a MacBook Pro. The new keyboard design goes beyond just attaching a keyboard to an iPad and could be an exciting product if it comes out.

Apple had previously dismissed the idea of convergence of an iPad to a Mac, but new technologies, in combination with the patent, may have put the possibility in a fresh perspective. The patent is a fascinating glimpse into a possible future direction for Apple. The patent describes a base system with an electromechanical keyboard and a hinged coupler that can attach to the iPad in multiple modes including laptop and reverse display mode. In the base position, multiple input devices could be attached to the iPad. These include a keyboard, trackpad, and a touchscreen display. These are input options for the tablet computing device. Magnetic connection and wireless charging Apple pencil. The configuration also provides for a second display.

There are several possibilities with the new Apple patent but whether it will eventually become a commercial product is a different issue. It will be interesting to see how this product evolves if indeed Apple is pursuing its development.

HP announced a bunch of AIO (all-in-one) PCs a couple of weeks back. Out of all the models, we find the HP EliteOne 800 G9 AiO Desktop PC to be interesting. Because it not only features the 12th Gen Intel processors and Windows 11 but also a built-in wireless charger.

The new AIO computer from HP is targeted at people working from home. It arrives in two variants, one with a 23.8-inch display and another with a 27-inch display. The screen on both models offers 1080p (FHD) resolution.

The product sports a minimal modern design and a webcam at the top. Unlike most AIO PCs, it also comes with an optional wireless charging pad built into its stand. It is really useful and helps users keep their desks clean without any wire.

Further, the stand is adjustable, which is not out of the ordinary. It also has support for VESA mounting, and therefore, it can be mounted on a wall if required.

The desktop computer is powered by Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake processors paired with up to 64GB DDR5 RAM and 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. Customers can also opt for optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti dedicated GPU.

It runs Microsoft Windows 11 operating system and supports WiFi 6E as well as Bluetooth 5.2. Finally, it is expected to hit the shelves in May at an undisclosed price.

OnePlus’s unified OS will reportedly run atop Android 13

OnePlus had back in June 2021 announced a deeper integration with OPPO along with plans to develop a unified operating system that will power offerings from both. Following this, HydrogenOS was ditched in China in favor of ColorOS and OxygenOS became nothing but a rebranded ColorOS.

But OnePlus has not settled just yet and recently announced the launch of a unified OS. A new report has now revealed some additional information about it.

While the official announcement stated that the unified and upgraded global operating system will be launched sometime in 2022, tipster Yogesh Brar (via MySmartPrice) says that it will be during the second half of the year. The OS, which is reportedly still in its early development phase, has also been revealed to launch alongside the OnePlus flagship handset.

Some may think that the handset in question is the OnePlus 10 Pro, but the device has already been launched in China running ColorOS 12.1, so that’s out of the question.

Yogesh further revealed that the unified OS will be based on Android 13. This is quite reasonable considering an H2 2022 launch date sits well with Android 13’s expected release date.

Some rumors have suggested that the upcoming OnePlus unified operating system could be called H2OOS, although that’s yet to be confirmed officially. Not much is known about it at the moment but an official infographic from last year had revealed that it combines the best bits of ColorOS and OxygenOS.

Redmi K50 Pro case leak gives first true glimpse of device

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Redmi K50 series in China quite soon. While the company is yet to confirm a release date, the devices could be launched later this month. A case leak from earlier today had shown what the devices’ rear could look like, but a newer one now actually shows the Redmi K50 Pro, or at least its renders.

A post from Fast Technology Official on Weibo has showcased a couple of cases for the Redmi K50 Pro in orange and purple colors. The creator of the render was kind enough to leave the device inside the cases, revealing some key details about its design for the first time.

Judging from the leak, the Redmi K50 Pro will be coming with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor just like the Redmi K40 series. The K series has always been a performance-above-all kind of offering, so under-display fingerprint tech has likely been given a miss due to its higher cost. Of course, this lacking will be made up for by other specifications.

The leak also shows that the Redmi K50 Pro will sport a triple rear camera setup arranged in a triangle. The primary is expected to be a 108MP sensor, as printed at the back of the case. A flash unit will sit beneath the cameras.

While not really indicated yet, it is safe to assume that the standard Redmi K50 model will feature a near-identical design, meaning cases for the Pro model will most possibly be compatible with it too.

It is unclear whether the case leaks in question are official or concern high-quality third-party accessories.

Models from the Redmi K50 series are expected to follow a naming scheme akin to the current models. As such, the Redmi K50 will likely be dubbed as the POCO F4 globally and perhaps as the Xiaomi 12X in India.

New Samsung smartphones may receive 4 years of Android OS updates

A new report has suggested that Samsung might be pushing the boundary with its Android OS update policy again. Previously, the company had upgraded its update policy for Android OS from two to three years. Now, a new leak has suggested that latest smartphones will support four years of updates.

According to a SamMobile report, the South Korean tech giant is planning on offering four major Android OS updates and up to five years of security patches. As of right now, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy S22 series, the Galaxy Tab S8 series and even the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3 are apparently eligible for this new update policy.

Notably, this also implies that the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Tab S8 lineup that are expected to ship with Android 12 will officially receive update till Android 16. Apart from the major updates, it will also receive five years of security updates as well. If this information is true, this raises the overall life of a new Galaxy smartphone, which makes it more appealing for prospective buyers since they wouldn’t need to consider upgrading their handset in just two or three years.

Interestingly, we had also previously reported on Search Engine giant Google offering four years of Android OS updates and five years of security patches on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. So, this might be an emerging trend or a new standard that smartphone brands may soon offer.
