After unveiling its next-generation Pixel 6 series flagship smartphones a few weeks back, Google has officially confirmed that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will be officially launched on 19th October, powered by the company’s new Tensor chipset.
Now, according to the latest report, the search engine giant is also gearing up to launch a new subscription service named “Pixel Pass” which will be bundling several Google services under one bill.
Brandon Lee of This Is Tech Today reveals in a tweet that the upcoming Pixel Pass is a “monthly subscription that addresses users’ mobile needs end-to-end.” It is a bundle of several Google services, which includes the following:
Pixel device financing
YouTube Premium/YouTube Music
Google One storage
Play Pass
Google Fi mobile network service
Preferred Care/Device Protection
This means that with the new “Pixel Pass” bundle, the customer can purchase a Pixel smartphone from the Google Fi or Google Store with a financing option. It would also include the option of Google’s Preferred Care or Device Protection plans for an extended warranty. If the previous subscription offering for Google’s devices is to go by, then some of these services could be an optional part of the bundle.
It remains to be seen if the services offered as a part of the Pixel Pass bundle by Google will just unite them under a single bill or offer some sort of discount. However, it’s highly likely that there will be some kind of discount for bundling the services together. It is also yet to be confirmed if the subscription will be limited to the new Pixel 6 lineup or will be available with other Pixel devices as well.
Ahead of the scheduled October 16 unveiling of the Pixel 6 and other Google products, a new leak has further illuminated the design choices inherent in the Pixel 6 Stand. Some additional features in the new Pixel 6 Stand make it stand out from the older models. The Pixel 6 Stand has a fan for cooling and supports faster charging speeds, which we had known previously via some leaks.
A new leak has shown that the Pixel 6 Stand will feature a dual coil wireless charging system with a dedicated coil for wearable devices. Up to 23W charging will be supported on compatible devices, while the active cooling fan maintains some balance and efficiency while in operation. The tipster, M. Brandon Lee provided these details via his YouTube channel including some wallpapers of the Pixel 6 series.
Google Pixel Stand (2nd Gen) will come in at $79, can charge at 23W, has two charge points, two colors & has a fan.
Of course, it includes a lot of those great features you get when you put a Google Pixel phone on a Pixel stand to make it like a smart display#pixel6#teampixelpic.twitter.com/M1kJIemB2f

Two charge points are available in the new Pixel 6 Stand and will offer a smart display for the Google Pixel 6 phone. The stand is made up of a substantial part of recycled materials and will thrill sustainability enthusiasts. In addition to the improved software experience using the Google Pixel 6 Stand, it also offers a raft of functions that will make its use as a Pixel 6 accessory an exciting experience.
There are other details also revealed by the tipster including a 1-year limited warranty for and other countries while a 2-year warranty will be available for the EU, China, and the UK. Confirmation of these leaks will come as we inch closer to the October 19 launch date for the Google Pixel 6 Stand. As per the new leak, the Pixel 6 Stand will cost $79 in the US.

The Canadian government had announced that people living around its airports will not have the full complement of 5G connectivity on airport safety considerations. The announcement came just a few weeks after Canada’s telecoms spent $9 billion in acquiring the 5G spectrum license in July 2021. The new announcement could slice a chunk in expected revenue for the telcos and they are voicing their concerns.
The move around airports will deprive thousands of 5G users of the full use of their smartphones in the restricted areas because there are fears that the 5G network frequencies could interfere with important navigational devices that could affect safety in the airports. One of the successful telcos, Telus Canada said that the decision could deprive it of up to $100 million in lost revenue. The company says it is indeed surprised that the proposed technical changes would impair a significant amount of the spectrum it won at auction. The comment was filed on September 2 with the country’s Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED). Telus has also noted separately that the mobile industry was taken aback by the move by the Canadian government, and the implications of the policy.
The 5G spectrum licenses were auctioned by ISED and it has stated that it will hold a brief consultation and then put new restrictions in place that will apply to airports where automated landing is permitted. The restrictions will be applied on an individual airport basis. In Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, no 5G stations will be permitted in a broad stretch of space covering parts of Etobicoke, Brampton, Downsview, and Mississippi. Residents in the affected stretches will not be able to enjoy the needed 5G services. The quantum of potential 5G users that will be affected by these new restrictions is still speculative, but this could be huge.
The restrictions are mainly driven by studies that have indicated the potential risks of interference as a result of the 5G connectivity, especially in airports. Some countries have also implemented mitigation measures.
It remains to be seen how the telecom providers will navigate through the thorny restriction regimen and whether there are some remediation measures for the companies. Telus is insisting that there are other options open to the regulator so as not to hurt the interests of the telcos, while still ensuring safety. We expect more fluid movements as the new policy becomes operational around Canada’s airports.
The global chip shortage coincided with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and had seen several layers of dislocations in the supply chain globally. It however seems that chipmakers are gradually coming over the shortage with a raft of measures across the production chain. This has seen the expansion of existing capacities and outright building of new chip production processes.

Chinese company Phytium is changing its industrial and commercial registration by adding some heavy hitters like Alibaba, Baidu’s Dazi Bairuixiang Venture Capital Management Company, and China Internet Investment Fund as part of its investors. The company’s registered capital has also increased from 667 million yuan ($104 million) to 749 million yuan ($116.8 million). The new investment alignment will help Phytium to focus on its core area of producing homegrown core chips as the global market continues to boom. According to recent reports, the global artificial intelligence chip market could reach a massive $72.6 billion from its current estimate of $11 billion.
Alibaba and Baidu already have some interests in chipmaking, as both companies have subsidiaries that are focused on chip development. The two companies are just part of a large number of internet giants that are pursuing chip development as part of their business model. Baidu has the Kunlun Chip arm, while Alibaba has the T-Head Semiconductor Co., Ltd with the task of pursuing research and development, as well as the strategic layout of chips.
The new partnership in Phytium is expected to drive the expansion and development of chipmaking capacity in the company to meet local demand and even serve the overseas market.

Huawei has been making devices with stylus support for a few years now. Its styluses are sold under the M-Pencil name and support cross-compatibility and multi-device connection, allowing owners to use the same stylus for both a compatible phone and tablet simultaneously. A few months ago, it launched the M-Pencil 2 alongside new MatePad tablets but there is a chance we will be getting another stylus this year, one that is expected to launch as the V-Pencil.
The folks at LetsGoDigital have discovered that the Chinese manufacturer has applied for a trademark for Huawei V-Pencil. The application was filed on October 4, and if the name didn’t already give it away that this is a stylus, the description states that it is an “electronic pen, computer stylus, touchscreen stylus”.
We want to believe that the Huawei V-Pencil stylus will launch alongside the Huawei Mate V foldable phone reported to be scheduled for launch later this year. Thus, it is not far-fetched to say that this is a special stylus designed for the foldable just as Samsung did with its Galaxy Z Fold3 which launched with a special stylus dubbed the S Pen Fold Edition.
There are speculations that if the V-Pencil is indeed for the Huawei Mate V, then the foldable phone may not have a clamshell design like the Galaxy Z Flip3 but a design similar to the Mate X2 that launched earlier this year.
The specifications of the Mate V foldable phone are still unknown but it is expected to come with a Kirin 9000 4G processor and according to the leaker that goes by @RODENT950 on Twitter, it will use the same liquid metal hinge mechanism available on the Mate X2.

An artist has imagined a new Nothing wrist (1) smartwatch with transparent sides that exposes its innards as the company’s next offering, and it looks ‘nothing’ short of stunning.
If you happen to be living under a rock, Nothing was launched by Carl Pei, the OnePlus co-founder after parting ways with the company last year. The startup recently introduced its ear (1) wireless earbuds that not only offer a lot more for their price than you’d expect, but also sport a stunning design, the likes of which haven’t been tried by any company yet.
Image: Gian Luigi Singh, Yanko Design
Transparency seems to be the main philosophy behind those earphones with their transparent case and transparent buds. In a world of cutthroat competition, a new brand would have to offer something unique if it wants to pull people’s attention, and Carl Pei managed to do just that with the Nothing ear (1).
But of course, a brand must also strive to maintain consistency across its product lineup in order to keep its portfolio easily recognizable. Designer Gian Luigi Singh knows of this and has based his renders on the fact that Nothing’s next product, whatever it may be, will be following a design language that will not be unlike its earbuds (via: Yanko Design).
The renders thus reveal a smartwatch with crystal clear sides that display the raw beauty of the precise engineering that makes a wearable tick. This will be reminiscent of some of the high-end analog watches with transparent underbellies that demonstrate the mesmerizing, precise yet complex clockwork it takes for the simple functionality of displaying the time.
But of course, a stunning design isn’t all that takes for a product to be successful, which is why the Nothing wrist (1) smartwatch will come with all of the newfangled health and fitness tech including a heart rate monitor and step counter, to keep up with the competition.
Moreover, like any other premium wearable piece of gizmo, the Nothing smartwatch will be protected against the elements by a water-resistant rating. Gian has slapped an IPx4 label at the watch’s bottom so there’s that.
The watch will be powered by Google’s Wear OS which should provide its owner all that they need to operate it and keep it connected with their smartphone. Speaking of connectivity, the wrist (1) will offer seamless connection and interoperability with Nothing’s present portfolio – that includes solely the Nothing ear (1). Thus, the watch will be able to pair with the earphones effortlessly and will allow one to keep tabs on the latter’s battery and adjust its volume levels.
A custom Wear OS interface to match the Nothing design language
In conclusion, the concept isn’t something far-fetched and we wouldn’t be surprised if Carl Pei himself comes across it and gains the inspiration required to launch something similar. If that actually happens, one can safely say that the renders will be to Carl Pei exactly what an apple was to Isaac Newton.
HP might have just revealed certain key details regarding the AMD Ryzen 7000 series of processors. A recent listing from the company has hinted that the upcoming next gen series of processors from Team Red could be launching sometime in early 2022.
According to HotHardware, the American PC maker’s listing revealed a pair of AIO (All in One) desktop systems that feature the Ryzen 7000 series of processors. These AIO PCs arrive in either 24 inch or 27 inch models in Starry White and Starry Forest. Apart from AMD, these systems will reportedly also feature Intel’s 12th Gen Core i7 processors as well, which is the latest Alder Lake lineup.
While this basically confirms the existence of the Ryzen 7000 series, the listing could still be a typo or some form of mistake. Although, listings revealing yet to be announced technology is not an uncommon occurrence. Although finer details regarding the Ryzen 7000 series chips is currently unknown, we can assume that the upcoming generation of processors is likely based on the Zen 4 architecture.
But this can’t be confirmed as of right now. The new Ryzen chips could very well also be the latest generation of APUs from AMD. In other words, it might be the Rembrandt APUs that are set to launch with Zen 3+ refresh, which is basically an enhancement over the Zen 3 architecture. This architecture also marks the shift to 6 nanometer manufacturing process from the 7nm on Zen 3 and stacked 3D V-cache. AMD has confirmed that it plans on launching chips with stacked 3D V-cache, so this might the chips that are listed on HP’s website.
HarmonyOS 2 introduced a new feature called Super Device. This lets users connect with smart devices in an intuitive manner. The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro finally adds support for it.
Huawei is known for its Multi Screen Collaboration feature that allows users to sync their smartphones with computers for a better multitasking experience. The company combined this feature with ‘Super Device’ with the release of Harmony OS 2.
Super Device is now the gateway to connect with Huawei ecosystem products on Harmony OS. Users need to simply drag and drop the devices that they want to make a connection to.
With the new firmware update, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro are finally compatible with Super Device. Thanks to this, users have to now merely drag the icon of the truly wireless earphones to the device they want to connect the earbuds with. The new feature does not hinder the dual-connection option. Hence, that will also work as intended.
In order to experience Super Device with HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro, the TWS should be on firmware version 536 or higher and the smartphone should be running HarmonyOS 2.0.0.135 or higher. Lastly, it also requires HUAWEI ID and a WiFi connection.
If you meet the requirements and got to try out the new feature, then do let us know your experience in the comment section below.
MediaTek has just revealed its financial report for the month of September 2021 last week. The company recorded robust growth with its total sales revenue reaching 47.906 billion New Taiwan Dollars (roughly 1.71 billion US Dollars).
According to the financial report, the Taiwanese chip making giant recorded a notable 26.5 percent growth in sale revenue over the same month back in 2020. Furthermore, the company even recorded an 11.91 percent in growth month on month. This figure marks a new high for the company, which has seen a great third quarter performance. Notably, the performance of the the first three quarters of this year has even surpassed the annual sales expectation for the entire year of 2020.
In the third quarter of 2021, the consolidated sales revenue was 131.174 billion New Taiwan Dollars (roughly 4.68 US Dollars). This marks an increase of 4.3 percent quarter on quarter and an annual growth rate of 34.7 percent, which was in line with the brand’s previous estimation. On the other hand, the total sales revenue for the first 9 months reached 364.76 billion New Taiwan Dollars (roughly 13 billion US Dollars), which is a sizeable annual increase of 61.5 percent. MediaTek is set to announce its financial report for the third quarter, and is expected to reveal its plans for the fourth quarter or even next year.
The Black Shark 4S series has continued to be teased ahead of its October 13 release date. While we previously have had vague info in the form of posters and teasers, Xiaomi has now given us a glimpse at some of the specifications to expect with the series comprised of the Black Shark 4S and 4S Pro.
A Weibo post today revealed that the lineup will be equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ flagship processor, have a dual disk array 2.0 design, and support UFS and SSD write double acceleration which greatly improves the read and write performance.
In addition, the phones will also sport a dual-zone screen pressure sensitivity feature that will allow two pressure-sensitive zones to be set on the screen. These two zones can then be tied to any on-screen controls, effectively providing a superior gaming experience. For clarity, an example use case can be using the movement controls to fire a weapon by pressing harder on them, in an FPS game.
Other known specs of the Black Shark 4S include support for 120W fast charging and a 720Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate. The device’s display with be a 6.67-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate.
Previously, Black Shark had teased the upcoming phone’s gamer-centric design with an official poster, showing its back and sides. The phone will be available in gray and white colors and will sport a striped rear finish.
Further, the back cover of the phone uses “nano-lithography” with its rear panel shifting colors with changes in the angle or lighting.
Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration of Guangdong Province released the list of products that it has approved. In this list, the medical grade ECG and blood pressure tracker for a smartwatch from Huawei also received approval.
According to an ITHomereport, the Chinese tech giant’s technology making it on the list officially signifies the company’s entry into the field of medical equipments. As per the data from the State Food and Drug Administration, the Huawei smartwatch’s ECG sensor belongs in the second category of medical equipment, with its registration certificate number “20202071705.”
Back in May 2021, He Gang, the president of Huawei’s consumer business smartphone product line, stated that the company’s first smartwatch that supports blood pressure tracking has passed medical device registration tests. Furthermore, the company’s new technology will also start registered clinical trials with professional medical institutions within the next six months. According to the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration, the brand has three other medical devices that have entered the priority approval process.
This includes the wrist ECG blood pressure tracker (MLY-B10, MLY-B11), ECG analysis system (ECG-1), and heart rate disturbance analysis system (PPG-1). While the current generation of smart wearables include a number of health monitoring systems, these are not used for medical diagnoses. Additionally, only a few brands have obtained the second class certificate for medical equipments, namely Huawei, Apple, Huami, and Oppo.
