Dec 27, 2021

Honor has officially confirmed that the brand’s first foldable smartphone is called Honor Magic V and is expected to soon get launched if the teasers from the company are anything to go by. Although the company has not yet revealed the launch date.

In the latest teaser video shared by the company, the design of the upcoming Honor Magic V foldable smartphone has been revealed, giving us a pretty good idea about how the phone will look and how it will function.

It has now been confirmed that the smartphone will come with a book-life fold design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and not the clamshell fold as we have seen on the Galaxy Z Flip3 or the Moto Razr smartphones.

The Honor Magic V is being developed with a focus on a large-screen experience. It is said that after unfolding the device, it will offer a tablet-like experience and the adaption of the app for the system screen has also been optimized.

Honor CEO claims that the Magic V will be the leading foldable smartphone available in the market in 2022. As said, currently there’s no information available about the launch or availability of this new device. But we expect the phone to go official in January 2022.

The device is confirmed to come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset which was launched earlier this month. A recent leak hinted about an 8-inch inner display and a 6.5-inch cover screen for the upcoming Honor foldable smartphone but it remains to be seen if the Magic V is this device. It is also said to use display panels supplied by BOE and Visionox.

We expect the company to share more details about this upcoming foldable smartphone in the coming days, including its key specifications and features through teasers.

This time, the Chinese giant has revealed that the phones in the Xiaomi 12 series will come packed with the company’s in-house developed Surge P1 chip for power management. It has also confirmed some key details about the upcoming Pro model flagship smartphone.

The dual-cell battery design that is currently being widely used in the market adversely affects the battery capacity and ultimately the battery life, according to Xiaomi.

The company adds that it has redesigned the charging architecture and through two self-developed charging chips, it optimized the charge pump structure and realized for the first time that a single cell has a wired second charging, and the heat loss is reduced by 30%.

Ahead of the launch, it has been revealed that the Xiaomi 12 features a smaller 6.28-inch display while the Pro model features a bigger 6.73-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED LTPO display along with support for 2K resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate.

In the camera department, it is said to feature three 50-megapixel cameras. There is a 1/1.28-inch Sony IMX707 primary camera sensor with an f/1.9 aperture, a 50-megapixel Samsung S5KJN1 telephoto sensor, and a 50-megapixel Samsung S5KJN1 ultrawide lens with a 115-degree FOV.

On the front side, there’s a 32-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling. The device will run on MIUI 13 based Android 12 OS. Along with 120W wired charging, it will have support for 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Google Fit for iPhone now supports heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring

Dec 27, 2021

Earlier this year, the Google Fit application received support for a new feature that enabled Android smartphones to monitor the heart rate and the respiratory rate on the device. Now, it has been confirmed that the feature is available for iOS as well.

The Google Fit application on iOS for iPhone will now be able to record the user’s heart rate along with the respiratory rate, reports 9to5Google. The feature will also work when the smartphone doesn’t have an active internet connection.

For this feature to work, the device’s camera is used. When users place their finger on the rear camera sensor of the device and apply slight pressure, Google fit can track the incoming light in the sensor to gauge the heart rate.

Users can also place their hand in front of a light source and allow Google Fit to measure their heartbeat by tracking what the company says are subtle changes in the color of the user’s fingers. It takes about 30 seconds to show users a graph with beats per minute.

After the results are shown on the screen, users also have an option to save the vitals. Google claims that the accuracy of the process is determined by algorithms that also account for factors like age and skin tone, among others.

The feature was first introduced in February this year but was initially limited to the Pixel lineup of smartphones and gradually the company added support for more devices. Now with support for iOS devices, it has expanded to more devices.

Moreover, the company CEO Lei Jun has shared a poll on Weibo asking for what feature do the users expect to have in the upcoming MIUI 13. The majority of the users reported that they expect the software to be bug-free.

It seems that Xiaomi has already focused on the stability of the MIUI 13 and so did it list such options in the poll. It is to be noted that the MIUI 13 will be on top of the Android 12 OS for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro smartphones.

Recently, the company revealed the list of its first batch of phones to receive the update.
