Amazfit GTR 3 India price revealed ahead of October 20 launch

Last week, Zepp Health (formerly Huami) announced its latest generation of smartwatches. Since then, these wearables have been slowly making their way to various markets around the world. They have been now confirmed to launch in India on October 20 (tomorrow).

Amazfit GTR 3 Featured A

Zepp Health introduced three new smartwatches a few days back. They are Amazfit GTR 3, Amazfit GTR 3 Pro, and Amazfit GTS 3. All three will be officially unveiled tomorrow in India.

Ahead of that, their availability has been confirmed by partner retailers. In fact, we already know the price of one of these models.

According to a report by MySmartPrice, the Amazfit GTR 3 will be sold in India via Flipkart. It will be priced at ₹13,999 and will be available for purchase at 12 PM starting tomorrow itself. Buyers will be able to avail 10% discount on SBI Credit card transactions.

On the other hand, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and the Amazfit GTS 3 will be sold by Amazon India. Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have at the moment. It’s not known how much these wearables will cost and when they will go on sale.

Anyway, going by the price of Amazfit GTR 3, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro should cost more than that. Whereas, since the price of GTR 3 is almost similar to its predecessor, the Amazfit GTS 3 will likely carry a near-identical price tag of its forerunner.

A $19 cleaning cloth is Apple’s latest piece of innovation

The Apple ‘Unleashed’ event saw the launch of multiple significant Apple products including the all-new MacBook Pros, AirPods 3, and others. These were all expected though and had been leaked quite a bit so didn’t really come as a surprise. What did come as a surprise though was a microfiber Polishing Cloth accessory designed for cleaning the screens of Apple devices.

apple cleaning polishing cloth 1
Apple’s latest innovation

Apple has barely given any information about the cloth itself and hasn’t specified its material, only stating on its website that it’s “made with a soft, nonabrasive material” and “cleans any Apple display, including nano-texture glass, safely and effectively,” which is understandable considering that the cloth is nothing but a…cloth.

Its images reveal something with a striking resemblance to a mouse mat. And apart from having an Apple logo stamped on it, it really doesn’t seem to offer anything over a regular microfiber cloth one can grab for a fraction of the price.

Apple recommends using a “soft, lint-free cloth” for cleaning all of its products and to avoid “abrasive cloths, towels, paper towels, or similar items” in one of its support pages. Hopefully, the Polishing Cloth will be meeting these requirements.

Last but not the least, there is even a compatibility list mentioning almost the entirety of Apple’s hardware portfolio, just in case you’re wondering if you’d rub the wrong device with it and accidentally summon an evil genie.

While the Apple Polishing Cloth sells separately for $19, it does come free with the Pro Display XDR, meaning you would have to spend $5,000 if you wish to get it along with your purchase.

Back in March, the company also stated that it would be investing a sizeable 10 billion US Dollars for its electric car project over the course of the next ten years. In August, Xiaomi had also completed the business registration for its electric vehicle unit as well.

Samsung announces Marvel, Disney accessories for Galaxy Z Flip3

The Galaxy Z Flip3 is arguably the hottest foldable smartphone in the market right now. The device is in the news since its debut. That’s because Samsung has been continuously promoting it one way or another. For the latest promotion, the South Korean tech giant has partnered with Marvel and Disney.

Samsung Marvel Disney Accessories Galaxy Z Flip 3

Samsung has announced (via SamMobile) two new accessories for the Galaxy Z Flip3 in association with Marvel and Disney. The first one is a Marvel-branded strap and the second one is a Mickey Mouse-shaped ring.

These two products are currently exclusive to Taiwan priced at NT$690 and NT$890 respectively. They can be attached to the official silicon cover for Galaxy Z Flip3 sold by Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 Accessories Taiwanese Designers

Above all, the new accessories will be only available at Samsung Experience Hall, Samsung Wisdom Hall, and Samsung Mall. The limited availability suggests that the new strap and ring may not make their way to other markets.

At the same time, the company also unveiled six additional straps for Galaxy Z Flip3 designed by local Taiwanese artists. However, the availability of these straps will be only announced in November.

Galaxy Z Flip3-shaped Case for Galaxy Buds

Lastly, the Galaxy Z Flip3-shaped case for Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Buds Pro, and Galaxy Buds2 also made their debut in Taiwan priced at NT$990.

Apple M1 Max is 2x faster than the M1, its GPU could match the PS5: Report

Apple had recently announced the 14 inch hand 16 inch MacBook Pro laptops. These feature its new and powerful custom processors, including the M1 Pro and M1 Max chipsets. Now, early benchmarks has revealed that the high end M1 Max CPU performance is up to two times better than the M1 while its GPU could rival the Sony PS5.

Apple

For those unaware, the M1 Max chip features 10 core CPU and 32 core GPU. In a benchmarking result on Geekbench, the processor scored 1,749 points in single core and 11,542 points in multi core. This implies that the multi core score is double that of the previously launched M1 chip on the 13 inch MacBook Pro. Based on the performance of the M1 chip, NotebookCheck also shared its expectations for the GPU’s performance.

As per the report, the M1’s 8 core GPU offers 2.6 TF, so the the M1 Pro’s 14 core version could offer around 4.5 TF, while the M1 Pro with 16 core could offer 5.2 TF. On the other hand, the M1 Max 24 core could offer 7.8 TF and its 32 core could offer an impressive 10.4 TF. Keep in mind this is a rough estimate and not official so take it with a pinch of salt. Although, this estimate does offer us an interesting look at its potential GPU power.

Apple M1 Max
M1 Max

While the M1 Max draws up to 100W less power than a high end laptop with a discrete GPU, its 32 core’s estimated performance seemingly rivals the desktop grade Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU, which offers 10.07 TF, and even the Sony’s latest PlayStation 5 that offers 10.28 TF. Despite this, the Cupertino based giant claims that the M1 Max can offer up to 21 hours of battery life.

China to surpass South Korea in OLED & LCD display market: Report

China is set to overtake South Kore in OLED as well as LCD display market. Chinese display maker BOE is expanding its partnership with Apple, which will increase its presence in the OLED and LCD market as well.

China

According to a BusinessKorea report, BOE has began the shipment of 6.1 inch OLED panels for the Cupertino based giant’s iPhone 13 series last month. These shipments are expected to further rise after some testing at Apple. BOE had previously only supplied OLED panels to refurbished iPhone models. But now, the Chinese display maker is responsible for up to 40 percent of Apple products that use OLED panels.

On the other hand, Samsung Electronics‘ share in the supply chain for OLED has fallen over time. Back in 2017, Chinese LCD panel makers had caught up with LCD manufacturers in South Korea. This appears to also be reflected in the OLED panel market as well, with BOE leading the Chinese manufacturers. As of right now, LG Display and Samsung Display are the top two largest producers of OLED in the global market.

China

Although, the growth of the two brands is slower than their Chinese counterparts. While Samsung and LG showcased an average annual growth of 12 percent and 19 percent respectively, firms like BOE and CSOT are seeing 25 percent and 52 growth rates annually respectively. In other words, they are expected to catch up to these South Korean firms soon and even possibly overtake them.
