Nov 23, 2021

Huawei, in its effort to regain some lost market share, is planning to host a product launch event in December where the Chinese giant will be unveiling a number of devices, including a flip-type foldable smartphone named Huawei Mate V.

Although the exact launch date has not been known yet, a new report coming from a tipster on Weibo (via ITHome) claims that the company could be launching smartwatches, ink screens, Bluetooth glasses, and some other products with support for blood pressure monitoring at this upcoming event.

So far, among all these types of products, names of only two products are known — Huawei Mate V for the flip folding smartphone and Huawei Watch D for the smartwatch.

The specifications of the Mate V as well as details of its design are currently unknown. It was previously reported that Huawei is working on a foldable phone with a clamshell design similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3. However, there is no link connecting this clamshell foldable to the Mate V expected to launch next quarter. Time will tell if they are one and the same or two different devices.

On the other hand, coming to the Huawei Watch D, there’s no information about what the “D” in the device’s name indicates. Huawei previously launched a smartwatch named Watch GT where the GT stands for “Gran Turismo.” It may be that Huawei is rebranding its devices and thus, opted for a simpler name for the upcoming product.

This new smartwatch is expected to come with many health and fitness-related features, including a heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, and body fat monitor. If this turns out to be true, then it will be the first smartwatch from the company to come with support for blood pressure monitoring.

Redmi Note 11T is set to launch on Nov. 30 in India. A fresh tweet by Redmi India has confirmed the charging capabilities of the smartphone. Also, Xiaomi’ India’s Managing Director and Global Vice-President, Manu Kumar Jain has hinted at the processor that will drive the Note 11T.

The Redmi Note 11T is confirmed to carry support for 33W fast charging. This is a major upgrade considering that the predecessor Redmi Note 10T 5G only supported 18W charging.

Jain claimed that the Note 11T will be the first-ever Redmi phone with a 6nm chipset. Considering that the Redmi Note 11T could be a rebranded version of China’s Redmi Note 11 5G, it is likely to feature the 6nm Dimensity 810 chip. This chip will allow the Note 11T to rival with the Realme 8s, which features the same chipset.

Redmi Note 11T 5G specifications (Rumored)

The Redmi Note 11T will come with a 6.6-inch IPS LCD 90Hz FHD+ display, a 16-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual-camera setup on the back.

The Dimensity 810 powered phone will arrive with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It will house a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. Other features of this phone include MIUI 12.5 based Android 11 and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

At present, there is no information available on the pricing of the device. However, it is likely to cost under Rs 20,000 (~$268). It is speculated to arrive in multiple variants such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.

MIUI Health app gets a makeover ahead of MIUI 13 release

By

Nov 23, 2021

MIUI is a heavily skinned Android operating system by Xiaomi. Since the beginning, it has been probably offering more features than any other alternative. However, most of these features are exclusive to the home country of China. One such feature is the built-in MIUI Health app. This application now gets a makeover ahead of MIUI 13 release.

Xiaomi is currently beta testing MIUI Health app in China. The new version of the application can be only used by the official testers with their accounts logged in. However, @miuibetainfo found a way to bypass this. This helped Xiaomiui in reporting on the changes.

According to the findings, the new MIUI Health app is almost identical to the Xiaomi Wear app. Looks like Xiaomi is trying to replace the dedicated Wear app with the stock MIUI alternative on its own smartphones.

The current stable MIUI Health app only has two sections, namely dashboard and workouts. But the upcoming version, which is under beta testing, also includes devices and account sections. The design language is moreover indistinguishable with options like avatar and others.

Talking about devices, users can now pair all the Xiaomi and Redmi wearable products that are compatible with the Xiaomi Wear app. The list includes Mi Wach Color, Mi Watch Color Sport, Xiaomi Watch Color 2, Redmi Watch, Redmi Watch 2, Mi Smart Band 5, Mi Smart Band 6, and Redmi Band.

Xiaomiui suggests that the new MIUI Health will be part of MIUI 13. When this application enters stable in the future, Xiaomi and Redmi smartphone users need not install the Xiaomi Wear app for their Xiaomi group wearables.

Just like before, the new MIUI Health application is also expected to remain exclusive to China. It should be uninstallable like most system apps on MIUI.

Honor will be unleashing the Honor 60 series of smartphones on Dec. 1. in China. Ahead of the launch, the Chinese manufacturer has released a poster to showcase its rear design.

In the poster, Chinese model and actor, Gong Jun can be seen endorsing the Honor 60. The gradient blue rear shell of the device is flanked with starry sky elements. At its top-left corner is an oval-shaped camera housing that houses two large-sized camera rings with what appears like a small camera in between.

Nov 23, 2021

Last week, Motorola announced 5 smartphones. One of them was Moto G200. This device is expected to go official as Motorola Edge S30 in China. Ahead of it, the parent company Lenovo accidentally reveals a Transformers Edition of the handset.

Lenovo is offering discounts on almost all of its smartphone portfolio in collaboration with Hasbro’s Transformers in China. On one of the promotional pages for these offers, the PC giant appears to have coincidentally exposed the renders of yet-to-release Motorola Edge S30 Transformers Edition.

These renders have been now taken down. But multiple netizens managed to save them and certain Chinese publications like ITHome even reported on this incident.

The renders showcase the Motorola Edge S30 Transformers Edition in a navy blue color with ‘Autobot’ logos imprinted all over its back. In fact, the rear Motorola Batwing logo is replaced by a large red-colored Autobot logo at the center. However, there’s still a ‘motorola’ branding at the bottom.

The special version of the phone will be most likely similar to the regular version in terms of specifications. It should only differ in terms of looks and might come with a customized software themed after the Transformers.

Motorola Edge S30 is expected to go official in China before the end of 2021. The main highlights of the handset include a 6.-inch 144Hz display (LCD), Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 108MP (wide) 13MP (ultra-wide, macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, plastic body, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

ZTE has already announced that the company will be launching a new variant of its current flagship smartphone Axon 30 Ultra on 25th November in China, which is dubbed as ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Space Edition.

Ahead of the phone getting officially unveiled, the company has shared another teaser which reveals that the smartphone’s quad-camera setup on the back panel will be using Image Fusion Technology for enhancing the photo quality.

For those who are unaware, Image Fusion Technology basically combines photos captured using different camera lenses into a single image to provide features like higher resolution, better low-light performance, and lower noise levels, among others.

Previously, the company revealed some high-definition images of the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Space Edition smartphone, revealing a special logo or branding of TAIKONAUT, a Chinese astronaut, on the phone. It has also been confirmed that the limited edition device will come packed with 18GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.

We expect the rest of the phone’s specifications to remain the same as the Axon 30 Ultra. It features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 144Hz refresh rate, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

OPPO entered the smart television category in October 2020. The company initially introduced two models, namely OPPO Smart TV S1 and OPPO Smart TV R1. Over a year after their debut, the latter model has been confirmed to get a new variant later this week.

OPPO Smart TV R1 Enjoy Edition Teaser Featured — OPPO Smart TV R1 Enjoy Edition

OPPO will be holding a launch conference for the OPPO Reno7 series in China on November 25. The firm has revealed that it will be unveiling a new smart television dubbed as OPPO Smart TV R1 Enjoy Edition at this event, in addition to OPPO Enco Free2i TWS earbuds.

As the name suggests, the upcoming television from the brand will be a variant of the already existing model. According to the teaser, the new version of OPPO TV R1 will bring improvements in audio with collaboration with Dynaudio.

For those who don’t know, the original OPPO Smart TV R1 from last year lacks Dynaudio tuning, while the expensive OPPO Smart TV S1 has it. The company says that users will be able to hear the picture when they close their eyes while in front of the forthcoming OPPO Smart TV R1 Enjoy Edition.

Apart from audio, the new variant should be most likely similar to the original in terms of features. It may also arrive in multiple-size versions.

The OPPO Smart TV R1 comes with a 4K LCD panel, 93% DCI-P3 color gamut, MEMC, MediaTek MTK9652 chipset, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, 8K video playback support, WiFi 6, HDMI 2.1, OPPO Share, NFC remote control, pop-up camera, 20W speakers, Dolby Audio, far-field microphones, and ColorOS TV operating system.

Snapdragon 8 Gen1 is Snapdragon 898’s actual name, confirms Qualcomm

By

Nov 23, 2021

Last year in December, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. A successor for this chip will be announced on Nov. 30 through the Snapdragon Tech Summit event. It was speculated that Snapdragon 888’s successor could be called Snapdragon 898. However, it was revealed last week that Qualcomm may use an entirely different name for it. The U.S. based chip maker has revealed that its next Snapdragon 8-series chip’s name will have a single-digit series and generation number, which means it has been named the Snapdragon 8 Gen1.

Qualcomm believes that a new simplified and consistent naming structure for its mobile platforms will make it easier for its customers to discover and choose devices powered by Snapdragon. Hence, the company will be switching to a new naming scheme for its other chipsets that are now being called Snapdragon 695, Snapdragon 480+, and so on. It is likely that the forthcoming less powerful Qualcomm chips could be named as Snapdragon 7 Gen1, Snapdragon 6 Gen1, and so on. At present, there is no official confirmation on these monikers.

Qualcomm also said that it will be using colored badges in its chip logos. This will help users to distinguish flagship SoCs from low-powered chipsets. It will be using a Gold badge for top-tier chips, whereas Midnight, Gunmetal, Nickel, and Red will be used for other chipsets.

The company has separated the Qualcomm and Snapdragon brands. The latter will be a standalone product brand with specific ties to the Qualcomm brand where appropriate. The mobile platforms will no longer carry suffix “5G” and the iconic “fireball” will gain new prominence and manifest itself in new visual assets and other creative executions, said Qualcomm in its blog.

Xiaomi, Motorola, Lenovo, OPPO, Samsung, and Huawei are the first batch of companies to launch phones featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip. Probably, the Xiaomi 12 and Motorola Edge X may break cover as the first phones driven by the new chip.

Nov 23, 2021

Last month, HMD Global launched its Nokia T20 tablet in several different markets and within a few weeks, the Finnish company has now announced a new variant of the same, dubbed as Nokia T20 Education Edition.

It has been revealed that the Nokia T20 Education Edition will be available for purchase from next month, i.e. December but the company has not yet revealed the pricing details.

As the name indicates, the product is aimed at students to aid in their learning. It features a 10.4-inch 2K display with 1200 x 2000 pixels screen resolution and has passed the Swiss SGS low blue light certification and also provides eye protection mode, sitting posture correction, and eye exercises.

MediaTek’s VP claims the Dimensity 9000 squares up with Apple A15 Bionic in benchmark tests

By

Nov 22, 2021

Chipmaker MediaTek is leaping into the high-end segment of smartphones with its innovative Dimensity 9000 chip. The SoC is the company’s first real foray into the production of highly powerful chips that could compare with the leading lights used in flagship models.

Ahead of MediaTek’s Annual Summit, the company has highlighted the features of the Dimensity 9000 which is seen as its most technically advanced chipset so far. MediaTek’s Vice President of Corporate Marketing, Finbarr Moynihan, threw more light on the new flagship chipset during an interview with DigiTrend. Importantly, the Dimensity 9000 is the first chip to be produced using the advanced 4nm process. It is also the first chip that uses the ARM Cortex X2 core, based on the innovative ARM V9 architecture. The ARM Cortex X2 offers up to 3.05 GHz and combines with up to seven lower Cortex A710 and A510 cores. The GPU of the Dimensity is ARM’s Mali G710 Graphics Processing Unit.

The MediaTek VP claims the flagship chipset is expected to pair up with the Apple A15 Bionic in multi-core benchmark tests. Curiously, Apple’s own flagship chipset is built using a 5nm process. Moynihan also made reference to the Dimensity 9000’s recent feat of hitting an AnTuTu score of over a million points for the first time.

The Dimensity 9000 has enjoyed substantial upgrades from MediaTek’s previous highest chip. It will have a 14MB total cache which is as high as it can get for any smartphone. The all-around innovation in the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip also includes camera resources, display capabilities and it could be well-primed for gaming applications. The Dimensity 9000 will support Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and will have a 5G modem operating at the latest quality, 3GPP Release 13.

The 4nm process is a massively complicated process leading to the production of the cutting-edge 4nm chips. It requires close collaboration, according to MediaTek, and the company’s proximity with the TSMC foundry in Taiwan where the chips were built, helped a lot. It is expected that the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip will compete favorably with the flagship offerings in the field, it will be more power-efficient among several other performance metrics.

Overall performance of the smartphone powered by the Dimensity 9000 chip is expected to be substantially higher. The company’s partners are already developing smartphones that will be powered by the chipset and the first smartphones could be launched by the end of Q1, 2022. It remains to be seen if the Diemnsity 9000 can indeed be compared with the current league of flagship processors. Only time will tell.

Dronut X1 drone with two rotors is suitable for areas without GPS & confined spaces

By

Nov 22, 2021

The Dronut X1 is a two-rotor, donut-looking ducted drone that comes with an unconventional design. The device owned by Cleo Robotics bears little semblance to a drone on the outside, at least. In addition, the drone doesn’t use the same flying technology prevalent in conventional drones.

Cleo Robotics says the Dronut X1 is the world’s first bi-rotor ducted drone, being able to fly in previously uncharted areas for any drone. The palm-sized drone is designed for indoor use – the outer propellers visible in drones are absent in the Dronut X1. The ducted fan design, therefore, allows the drone to operate extremely close to humans and can operate around sensitive equipment.

The Dronut X1 uses Cleo Robotics’ proprietary thrust vectoring technology for lift resources, while several other sensors provide a variety of functionality for the drone. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The compact Dronut X1is well-suited for applications in challenging environments such as tight spaces even with poor or no illumination.

The Dronut X1 is fitted with a 3D LiDAR, a 4K camera, a global shutter camera for precise positioning, and can be reliable in areas lacking GPS service. It can accurately detect and avoid obstacles, and can also be remotely controlled via an Android smartphone.

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), produced in the US, has a $9800 price tag. The battery of the device however only offers 12 minutes of flight time on a full charge. The battery can be charged from 0-100% in 40 minutes. The drone can be deployed in several innovative ways to track activities in confined and difficult spaces. The short battery life could however be a limitation of the device, for its high price.

OnePlus patents a tri-fold foldable phone with a sliding key to lock the folding position

By

Nov 22, 2021

A recently discovered patent relating to OnePlus has indicated that the tech company is probably working on a foldable smartphone with two hinges that can be locked by a handy slider. The three-display device seems to be the very first by OnePlus amidst the innovations that have been done in the field of foldable displays. Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi are the current front-runners in foldable display technology, while other OEMs are also making strides in the area.

The patent relates to a foldable phone with three display parts invented by Gao Yang and the patent document is captioned: Mobile terminal. It is believed that the patent document was filed in China in 2020 and was published in July 2021. It has now been included in the global repository of patents, in the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) database. The WIPO documentation has therefore given a stamp of approval and protection to OnePlus for the stated patented technology.

Some stunning renders of the OnePlus Tri-Fold smartphone, derived from the patent images have also been released by Technizo Concept. The device can be folded in different ways, providing interesting options for more User applications of the device. It can work as a large tablet apart from its operation as a smartphone. The versatile design comes with quite a few challenges, and it will be exciting to see the debut of the innovative OnePlus tri-foldable smartphone. It remains to be seen how the actual device will look, as it bears little semblance to current tri-foldable designs.

The OnePlus design really leaves much to the imagination on the multiple applications that could be deployed with the device. We expect the first foldable OnePlus smartphone in 2022 and this could come with a bang expectedly. However, the complex design of the device will warrant the resolution of several challenges due to the multiple foldable displays and the reliability of the hinges.
