All you need to know about Redmi Watch 2, Redmi Smart Band Pro before launch

Oct 26, 2021

Redmi became an independent brand in 2019. But only in 2020, we saw the brand entering multiple product categories. One of them was wearable. The company not only released a fitness tracker called Redmi Band but also a smartwatch dubbed as Redmi Watch. A year later, these two products are now about to get a successor in the form of Redmi Smart Band Pro and Redmi Watch 2. Let’s take a look at them one by one, starting with the smartwatch.

Redmi Watch 2

Redmi has confirmed to launch the Redmi Watch 2 on October 28 in China. It will be unveiled alongside the Redmi Note 11 series. So far, we only know a few details about this product.

Redmi Watch 2 Display B For starters, the smartwatch will have a 1.6-inch rectangular AMOLED display with a larger screen-to-body ratio. In comparison, the original Redmi Watch sports a smaller 1.4-inch LCD screen.

Thanks to retailer listings, we also know the colors of this device as well as its price. It will be offered in three hues, namely Elegant Black, Space Blue, and Ivory. As far as price is concerned, it is expected to retail at ¥399 ($63).

Although we are only two days away from the announcement, we still expect the company to shed more details on its second-generation smartwatch in the next few hours. We will update this article if new teasers come up.

For now, going by the specs of the Redmi Watch, we can expect the Redmi Watch 2 to arrive with a customized RTOS, GPS, heart rate sensor, multiple sports modes, sleep monitoring, water resistance, and more.

Redmi Smart Band Pro

Unlike the Redmi Watch 2, we don’t have any official launch date for the Redmi Smart Band Pro. However, a leak by Roland Quandt of WinFuture recently revealed that this wearable will be also going official on October 28 but in Europe instead of China.

Xiaomi released the Redmi Band with a different name in Europe. It is known as Mi Smart Band 4C in the region. Hence, the Redmi Band Pro will be the first Redmi-branded fitness tracker in this part of the world.

As opposed to the original Redmi Band, which looks like a flat Mi Band, the newer Pro model will resemble HONOR Band 6. It will have a larger rectangular display but the type of panel is not known yet. For those unaware, the older model uses an LCD screen.

Unfortunately, not much else is known about this wearable just like the Redmi Watch 2. As of now, from the renders, we can see that the Redmi Band Pro will have a heart rate sensor and will use a pogo pin charging connector instead of direct USB charging like the Redmi Band.

As far as features are concerned, we can expect the fitness tracker to come with multiple sports modes, water resistance, app notifications, sleep monitoring, and others.

Weirdly, the renders only showcase the product in black color option but the company should sell different colored straps separately. Having said that, this story will be updated if more leaks and teasers show up in the next few hours ahead of the official launch.

Oct 26, 2021

While Apple had recently unveiled its latest generation of MacBook Pro and AirPods, it had planned on launching the new products in India today (26th October 2021). However, it seems that the company faced certain issues that caused it to delay the arrival of the new gadgets.

The new products include the 14 inch and 16 inch versions of the 2021 MacBook Pro that feature the latest M1 Max and M1 Pro chipsets. Alongside the laptops, the Cupertino based giant had also announced its third generation of AirPods TWS earbuds earlier this month. Now, the two products were set to launch on October 26, but the company has shifted availability to a new date of October 29.

The new launch date was spotted on an updated listing on Apple’s official Indian website. Unfortunately, the iPhone maker has yet to reveal the reason for the delay, so we can assume that it was some unforeseen issue prior to the launch. On the other hand, the new MacBook Pro and AirPods 3 are still on schedule to launch on 26th October 2021 in the US market.

For those unaware, the 2021 MacBook Pro 14 inch variant starts in India for a price of 1,94,900 INR (roughly 2,600 US Dollars) while the 16 inch model costs a 2,39,900 INR (roughly 3,200 US Dollars). In comparison, the 14 inch model in the US costs just 1,999 US Dollars. Similarly, the third generation of AirPods is available in India for 18,500 INR (roughly 250 US Dollars) while its US pricing is 179 US Dollars.

On Thursday, the company will be unleashing two other phones such as the Honor X30i and Honor X30 Max in the home market. Both models are rumored to support 22.5W fast charging. Hence, it appears that the ANY-AN00, TNA-AN00, and LSA-AN00 model numbers do not belong to the X30i or X30 Max.

Google is working on bringing Pixel 6 features to its older Pixel phones

Oct 26, 2021

Owners of older Google Pixel smartphones rejoice as the company has said that it working on bringing some of the Pixel 6 series features to its previously launched smartphone models.

The search engine giant told Android Authority that it will roll out a few of the new features that arrive with the latest Pixel 6 phones. Some of the new features arriving to the older models include the astrophotography mode, Cinematic Pan option, and Call Screening, and more. Although, the older models will still miss a couple of the new features since the new Pixel 6 series heavily relies on its proprietary Tensor processor for some of the new features. So, there are technical limitations here on a hardware level.

This includes the new Live Translate, Motion Mode, and others. According to the company’s representative “As with all Pixel features, we aim to bring as many features as possible to older Pixels where technically possible — though it might take some time to develop and offer a different experience. Some technologies will require additional technical investments, such as Live Translate, as our on device language models are engineered to run on Pixel 6’s proprietary Tensor chip on TPU (which older Pixel models don’t have).”

While this basically confirms that Google will be launching some features to older Pixel phones, the company has yet to reveal an official date for the roll out of this feature. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Here’s a look at the unreleased Apple Watch Pro from 2015

Oct 26, 2021

A new demo unit from an Apple Store has revealed an unreleased/unused version of its smartwatch. The ‘Apple Watch Pro’ moniker was spotted in a hidden file in the retail store’s demo unit.

This hidden file was found by @AppleDemoYT who shared this news on his Twitter account. The demo unit that has this file featured an original design that had a built in iPad Mini to showcase the watchOS to customers. In this, the “Apple Watch Pro” logo along with other smartwatch variants like Watch Sport and Watch Edition. In other words, it means that the Cupertino based giant was working on Pro variant that it had planned to watch sometime in 2015.

Upon looking into some of the demo content files on a 2015 Apple Watch Demo (A1623), I discovered an image of logo for an unknown model of Apple Watch. Not sure if “Apple Watch Pro” is an unreleased model, or is just some place holder text. #appleinternal pic.twitter.com/kbpzBGrokX

— Apple Demo (@AppleDemoYT) October 25, 2021

Although, it seems that the iPhone maker did not follow up with this product and changed its plans sometime before its 2015 “Spring Forward” event that revealed the pricing and release date for its Watch. Notably, this demo unit of the Watch also didn’t allow users to try the watch on their wrists, rather, it was simply showcased on a table and wasn’t meant to be tried out. AppleDemoYT also noted that this could be an unreleased model or just a placeholder text for the Watch before the company settled on a name.

Sony Xperia PRO-I smartphone with a 1-inch camera sensor launched for $1,800

By

-

Oct 26, 2021

Sony has today officially launched its latest smartphone under the Xperia branding — Sony Xperia Pro-I, which is targeted towards the content creators. The highlight is the camera technology, which is developed with the same advanced imaging technology from Sony’s mirrorless Alpha brand cameras, found in the RX100 VII camera.

The newly announced Sony Xperia Pro-I is touted to be the world’s first smartphone to come with a 1.0-type sensor with phase detection. The device comes packed with a 1.0-type Exmor RS sensor with a 2.4µm pixel pitch for impressive low-light performance.

The 1-inch sensor is borrowed from its RX100 VII camera. It supports RAW 12-bit shooting for incredible dynamic range, and dual aperture that goes from f/2.0 to f/4.0 for changing the depth of field. The phone also features a BIONZ X for mobile and a front-end LSI.

The smartphone includes three camera lenses, all of which are enhanced with ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating and a 3D iToF sensor. There’s a newly developed 24mm lens that adopts ZEISS Tessar Optics for delivering high-resolution images with less peripheral image distortion and more intense contrast and sharpness.

The 24mm lens is clubbed with two other sensors — a 12-megapixel 16mm f/2.2 ultrawide sensor and another 12-megapixel 50mm f/2.4 2x optical telephoto lens. Further, the 3D iToF sensor calculates the distance between the camera and the subject to ensure fast and accurate autofocus.

The device also features 315 phase-detection AF points that cover almost 90 percent of the frame. There’s also an AF technology that includes features Real-time Eye-AF in humans and animals, Real-time tracking, 20fps AF/AE burst shooting, and anti-distortion shutter for a cleaner capture of fast-moving objects.

Sony claims the Xperia Pro-I to be the world’s first smartphone allowing users to shoot high-quality video in 4K 120fps and slow-motion video at up to 5x. There’s a monaural microphone next to the main camera for clear speech recording.

There are two physical camera buttons on the device — one is a two-stage shutter key and the other is a circular button that is mapped to launch the Videography Pro app. This app offers advanced controls like white balance, exposure and focus.

Given that the smartphone is aimed at content creators or vloggers, there’s a special Vlog Monitor which is basically a 3.5-inch 720p monitor accessory that can be attached to the phone’s rear, allowing to film users with the new 1.0-inch type camera sensor.

As for the rest of the specifications, the Xperia Pro-I features a 6.5-inch 4K OLED display with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM.

With such advanced camera functions, you will need a good amount of storage and Sony isn’t compromising as it is offering 512GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot allowing you to further expand the storage capacity up to 1TB on the device.

It supports the usual set of connectivity options, with support for 5G and Wi-Fi 6. The device runs the Android operating system and is powered by a 4,500mAh battery with supports for 30W fast charging technology.

Sony Xperia Pro-I will be available for purchase from December this year, for the price of $1,800 through authorized deals in the United States. It will also be available in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Nordics.

The company will start taking pre-orders from 28th October. Apart from the smartphone, the Vlog Monitor and Style Cover in Leather will also be available in December 2021 for around $200 and $90, respectively.

For voice calls, the endurance drops to 6.5 hours and 5.5 hours respectively. The charging case, which packs a 215mAh battery, increases battery life up to 22 hours. It can be charged using a USB Type-C port.
