After making its own Pixel-branded smartphones for years, Google is now finally gearing up to launch its own smartwatch in the market, dubbed Pixel Watch. Ahead of the launch, many details about the upcoming device have surfaced online.

Now, it appears that more details about the Pixel Watch have been revealed, including the watchfaces through the Android Studio emulator image that Google published earlier this year for Wear OS 3.0.

Currently, the emulator in Android Studio is the only way to experience what the stock version of Wear OS 3 will be like on future watches. The 9to5Google team found a video within the emulator that shows a variety of watch faces that will be available on an upcoming Wear OS device.

About 10 different watchfaces have been revealed, including one that shows Fitbit logo. Two of these watchfaces were also seen on the renders of the Pixel Watch. This further indicates that the leaked watchfaces will make their way to the actual smartwatch and are not just for demo purposes.

Based on the previous leaks, the upcoming Pixel Watch will have a minimal bezel and a slight curve and feature a physical button. It is expected to come powered by a custom-made SoC that will be manufactured by Samsung using the 5nm process.

It will be running the latest Wear OS 3.0 as the operating system which is a merged version of the Wear OS based on Android and Samsung’s Tizen OS. The South Korean giant’s Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic were the first devices to run this new version of the wearable operating system.

While the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is set to power a wave of new top end 2022 smartphones, the company is also planning on launching new Dimensity 7000 chip for mid range models as well. However, a new report has suggested that it might be called Dimensity 8000 and could be launching soon.

A known Weibo tipster believes that the Taiwanese chipmaker is reportedly planning on launching the Dimensity 8000 chip soon. This mid range chipset is apparently built on TSMC’s 5nm process and comprises of four Cortex A78 cores that clock in at 2.75GHz and four Cortex A55 cores that have a 2.0GHz clock speeds. For graphics, the chipset arrives with the Mali G510 MC6 GPU.

The tipster further added that the Dimensity 8000 chip will support FHD+ displays with up to 168Hz refresh rate or QHD+ displays with 120Hz refresh rate. Other features include support for LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage and possibly even up to 75W fast charging as well. Notably, the tipster further added that the Dimensity 8000 chip will be featured in certain Redmi and Realme smartphones. From these specs, it appears that the Dimensity 8000 could be a cut down version of the higher end Dimensity 9000 SoC.

Interestingly, the chipmaker has also opened its flagship Dimensity store on popular e-retailing website JD.com. In this store, the Dimensity store will be divided into different sections including 9000 series, 1000 series, 900 series, 800 series, and 700 series chipsets. Within these sections, users are shown smartphones from different brands that feature any of these SoCs. This includes models from Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and others that are displayed.

Dec 16, 2021

At the HONOR X30 5G launch event, the brand also announced the HONOR Play 30 Plus 5G. We just reported on this phone a few hours back. Although we knew that this handset’s release was imminent, we did not expect it to go official today itself, albeit we mentioned the possibility. That’s because we never heard about it until earlier today.

HONOR Play 30 Plus 5G Specifications and Features

The HONOR Play 30 Plus 5G (CMA-AN00) is an entry-level 5G smartphone for the masses. But it looks like the expensive HONOR and HUAWEI-branded handsets due to the presence of two large circular modules for the cameras.

The device sports a 6.74-inch TFT LCD panel with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels (HD+), 16.7 million colors, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The TÜV Rheinland-certified (for low blue emission) display has a dewdrop notch and a 90.07% screen-to-body ratio.

It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC coupled with 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB storage. As for software, it boots Magic UI 5.0 based on Android 11.

Further, the phone houses a dual-camera setup on the back comprising of a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, it uses a 5MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

On the connectivity front, the smartphone supports dual SIM, 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, and GNSS (GPS, A-GPS, BeiDou). It also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and a MicroSD card slot.

The device comes with all the essential sensors like an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, compass, proximity light sensor, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It measures 167.59 × 77.19 × 8.62mm in dimensions, weighs 198g, and arrives in four colors (black, silver, blue, gold).

Last but not least, HONOR Play 30 Plus 5G is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging.

HONOR Play 30 Plus 5G Price and Availability

The HONOR Play 30 Plus 5G will retail at the following price tags in China.

4GB +128GB – ¥1,099 ($173)
6GB +128GB – ¥1,299 ($204)

Google Pixel 6 network issues have reportedly worsened with December update

Dec 16, 2021

The Pixel December security update is here for models all the way back to the Pixel 3a, bringing along a ton of fixes for bugs across the lineup. However, for the Google Pixel 6, things have seemingly worsened with the latest patch as there have been several complaints about poor signal and network issues.

Reports of the problem have surfaced on Reddit and the Google Issue Tracker (via Android Central), with users stating that they’re now having to deal with connectivity woes in areas where there previously were no issues. The mobile network signal allegedly has been quite poor and even non-existent in some cases.

Not only does the issue lead to simple functions like calling and texting becoming a real pain, but also drains the battery faster as the phone struggles to find a proper signal. The whole thing is rather ironic considering one of the fixes included with the update was “General improvements for network connection stability & performance.”

Most reports seem to originate from Europe with some touting the .A4 or .A1 builds that were pushed out to select European countries, Canada, and Taiwan, as the culprits for the issue. However, without official clarification, the matter still remains unclear.

Regardless, many of the Pixel 6 users are yet to receive the December update as rollout seems quite spotty this time, so it would be advisable to hold off on it until the issue is addressed.

In the meantime, be sure to check out the workarounds we have listed in a recent related coverage about the issue.

Previous reports had also revealed that the next gen OnePlus flagship featuring 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Apple led market growth in the earwear and smartwatch categories in the META regions comprised of the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa in Q3 2021, defying supply chain constraints. The company was followed by Samsung that held the second spot in terms of shipments.

The data comes from International Data Corporation (IDC) that further reported that in META, the wearables market saw a year-on-year growth rate of 2.0% in units and 25.4% in value in the third quarter of this year. A total of 3.09 million earwear, watches, wristbands, and glasses worth $504.6 million were sold across the region during the same timeframe.

The impressive figures come in at a time where the market is still struggling against the global semiconductor shortage. That’s not to say that the shortages didn’t have an effect though, as dwindling supply did lead to price increments levied by many vendors.

“Consumers tend to spend more of their disposal income on more compatible devices connected to their cellphones,” says Zeynep Kilic, a research manager at IDC. “The pandemic and lockdowns raised the demand for wearables for their health and fitness capabilities, and this is what spurred some vendors to invest in this field, such as Apple with its Fitness+ apps.”

Among all of the wearable shipments, TWS and over-ear audio devices grabbed the largest share of shipments in Q3 2021, accounting for 45.9% of all wearable devices shipped to the region. The YoY shipments increased of the category increased 34.4% in terms of units and 22.6% in value during the quarter. Apple led the sales with a third of the total market units, trailed by Samsung followed by Xiaomi. The work-from-home trend led to increased demand for wearables with support for ANC.

Earwear sales were followed by smartwatches that oversaw significant annual growth of 40.9% in units and 45.7% in value in Q3 2021. Apple again dominated the market mostly thanks to the new Series 7 lineup. Samsung took 2nd place with its Galaxy Watch 4 selling like hotcakes. Garmin ranked third.

The basic watch and fitness band category also saw strong year-on-year growth in Q3 2021, with shipments increasing 54.8% in unit terms and 44.2% in value. Such gadgets have grown to be a great budget alternative to their pricier smartwatch counterparts, and have lately begun offering more advanced features like SpO2 tracking. Huawei led this category, followed by Amazfit in second and Xiaomi in third.

Dec 16, 2021

India has recently approved a new 10 billion US Dollar incentive plan. This large sum will be used to lure in certain semiconductor and display makers, as per Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.

According to a Reuters report, a number of semiconductor manufacturers have apparently shown interest in this plans, with Israel’s Tower Semiconductor, known Apple supplier Foxconn, and a Singapore based consortium mulling plans to set up a semiconductor fabrication site in India. Similarly, display maker Vedanta Group has also shown interest in building a display manufacturing factory in India as well, as per sources close to the matter.

As of right now, the government has approved a design linked incentive (DLI) plan that will encourage 100 local companies in semiconductor design for integrated circuits and chipsets. As per technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, “Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) has taken a historic decision today that will help develop the complete semiconductor ecosystem — from the design of semiconductor chips to their fabrication, packing and testing — in the country.” Notably, India’s 10 billion US Dollar plan arrives as the world is still suffering from an ongoing global shortage of chipsets.

But meanwhile, the Tata Group also has plans to venture into the semiconductor business with three states to invest up to 300 million US Dollars. This would even have it build a semiconductor assembly and test unit as well. Keep in mind that its still too early to tell which companies end up taking the sizeable incentive, so stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.

Dec 16, 2021

Huawei is one of the world’s leading telecom equipment manufacturers but the company is now barred from working on the 5G communication technology because of the sanctions imposed by the United States.

At a time when several countries are looking to get rid of Huawei telecom equipment from their telecom infractions, Bangladesh has done the opposite. The first commercial 5G network in the country is now live, thanks to the partnership of Huawei and Teletalk.

Initially, the 5G network will be available in six locations around the Bangladesh Secretariat, the National Parliament area, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, the National Monument in Savar, and the mausoleum of the Father of the Nation in Tungipara, Gopalganj.

Mustafa Jabbar, Minister of Posts and Telecommunications Division, said that after 2G and 3G, the 5G technology can go much beyond and expand the horizons for industries, businesses, agriculture, healthcare, and much more.

Zhang Zhengjun, CEO of Huawei Bangladesh, said: “We believe 5G will change society with diversified applications for individuals, homes, and industries. And Huawei will always be there to facilitate Bangladesh with its innovative technology because we are in Bangladesh, for Bangladesh.”

The company has revealed that the coverage will gradually expand to more regions of the country. However, there’s no timeline about when the coverage will be expanded or which areas will be covered in the future.

Huawei had launched the P50 and P50 Pro smartphones in the month of July. The Huawei P50 Pro 4G comes in two different models — one powered by the Kirin 9000 SoC while the other one is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset.

Now, the Huawei P50 Pro 4G powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC is finally available for purchase in China. It is being offered in three colors — Snow White, Obsidian Black, and Cocoa Tea Gold.

The 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage model is priced at 5,988 yuan (~$941) while the other model which packs 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage costs 6,488 yuan which roughly converts to $1,019.

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset but the model is limited to only 4G connectivity because of the sanctions imposed on Huawei by the United States, barring it from using 5G connectivity, among others.

In the camera department, there’s a 50-megapixel f/1.8 RGB primary sensor with OIS and a 40-megapixel f/1.6 Black and White sensor. There’s also a 13-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera and a 64-megapixel f/3.5 telephoto camera with OIS.

On the front side, the device features a 13-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling. Unlike most other phones, this one is running the company’s own HarmonyOS 2 out-of-the-box. It is powered by a 4,360mAh battery which comes with support for 66W fast wired charging and 50W wireless fast charging.
