Huawei applies for V-Pencil trademark, possible stylus for Mate V foldable

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”.

Huawei V-Pencil

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.

Google TV will get support for multiple user profiles starting next month

When you open up Netflix, you get get a splash page that shows the different profiles available. It is a pretty neat feature, one that Android TV (and Google TV) users have wanted for ages. Google has now revealed that personalized profiles a.k.a. multi-user support will be coming to Google TV starting next month.

Google TV profiles

Last year, Google stated that support for multiple user profiles was one of the top features on its mind but it didn’t say when the feature will be available. However, it revealed back then that it was working on a Kids Profile which began rolling out to users in March of this year.

According to The Verge, they have been informed by a Google spokesperson that multiple user support with individual profiles will be available next month starting with the Chromecast with Google TV and TCL and Sony TVs powered by Google TV. With individual profiles, recommendations, watchlists, and even Google Assistant help will be personalized. Google has also revealed that downloaded apps and credentials can be used across profiles. There is no mention of profiles coming to Android TV.

Apart from personalized profiles, Google will also roll out a separate feature called “glanceable cards”. These are small information cards that are displayed when the TV is idle. Users will see personalized information such as news, weather, and sports in addition to shortcuts to photos and podcasts.

Google TV Glanceable Cards

The source also mentioned that the new mobile remote app for Google TV which was announced last month for Android will be added to the Google Home app for Android and iOS soon.

Nothing wrist (1) smartwatch gets imagined with a transparent design revealing its innards

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.

Nothing-Wrist-1-smartwatch_wearable_gadgets-5

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).

Nothing-Wrist-1-smartwatch_wearable_gadgets-7

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.

Nothing-Wrist-1-smartwatch_wearable_gadgets-1

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.

Nothing-Wrist-1-smartwatch_wearable_gadgets_00
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 confirms AMD Ryzen 7000 chips, might launch in early 2022

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.

AMD

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.

AMD

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.

vivo Y20T launched in India with Snapdragon 662, 5,000mAh battery, and more

Chinese smartphone brand vivo has quietly launched a new handset in India called vivo Y20T. This device is a slightly tweaked version of vivo Y20 from last year. The only difference between old and new models is the chipset.

vivo Y20T Featured
vivo Y20T

vivo Y20T Specifications and Features

The vivo Y20T is near identical to the vivo Y20 that was released in 2020. The only distinction between the two is that the new device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC paired with 6GB RAM ( +1GB Extended RAM) and 64GB storage instead of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 mobile platform like the old phone.

The smartphone features a plastic build and sports a 6.5-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels (HD+) and a dewdrop notch. It measures 164.41 x 76.32 x 8.41mm in dimensions, weighs 192g, and comes in two colors (Obsidian Black, Purist Blue).

The phone houses a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 13MP primary sensor, 2MP macro snapper, and 2MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, it uses an 8MP shooter.

As far as connectivity is concerned, it supports dual-SIM, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, GALILEO), 3.5mm headphone jack, and MicroUSB port.

Other features of the handset include a MicroSD card slot, side-mounted fingerprint sensor,  accelerometer, ambient light sensor,  compass, proximity sensor, gyroscope, 5,000mAh battery, 18W fast charging, and Funtouch OS 11.1 based on Android 11.

vivo Y20T Price and Availability in India

The vivo Y20T is priced at ₹15,490 ($205) in India. It is already up for sale in the country via vivo India E-Store, Amazon India, Flipkart, Paytm, and leading offline retailers.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 could sport a dual-sided fingerprint sensor

A new patent indicates that Samsung intends to equip its Galaxy Z Fold4 foldable phone with an under-display fingerprint sensor, but with a twist – it will be able to scan from both sides of the display.

Now, the Z Fold3 was previously expected to come with an under-display fingerprint sensor, just like regular Samsung Galaxy smartphones have had. However, consumers were in for a disappointment as the Korean company decided to go with a side-mounted scanner.

But if the said tech is indeed shipped with the Z Fold4, then Samsung will be implementing the under-screen fingerprint scanner in a fashion that’s never been tried before.

samsung-z-fold4-dual-fingerprint-scanner
Image: LetsGoDigital

The patent was filed on March 31 this year with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) for a ‘Foldable electronic device capable of detecting fingerprint through at least part of the display’ and published on October 7, 2021 (via: LetsGoDigital).

It describes a fingerprint sensor positioned in such a way that it can be used via both the outside cover screen as well as the inside foldable one. This has been made possible by incorporating the sensor beneath the lower-left half of the flexible screen. A small printed circuit board (PCB) is placed between the sensors, which in turn is connected to the main printed circuit board. This opens up a new possibility of biometric authentication in both the unfolded and folded positions.

Samsung has argued in the patent that since a foldable device is equipped with a flexible screen, it is more likely to show creases when pressure is exerted on the screen. Thus, existing fingerprint tech should be tweaked to ease this limitation, and the dual-sided fingerprint sensor implementation seems to be the perfect solution.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G

While LetsGoDigital believes that the dual-sided fingerprint will be present with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 itself, it is advisable to take this bit of info with a pinch of salt. After all, patents are only ideas awaiting to be chosen from a sea of similar ideas. But with the competition increasing in the foldable space, thanks to the likes of Xiaomi and Huawei, Samsung may be compelled to pull off something as crazy as this in order to stand out.

Vivo to launch new NEX Smartphone with Snapdragon 888: Tipster

NEX 3S 5G

The news arrives from known Weibo blogger Digital Chat Station (Tipster on the Chinese microblogging website). This upcoming NEX series phone will feature a new form, design, platform, and even a new imaging solution as well. Back in April, we had reported on the Chinese smartphone maker reportedly working on a new NEX phone that features an under display camera, 60W wireless charging, and other features.

For those unaware, Vivo hasn’t released a new NEX series smartphone for a while now, with the last model being launched in March 2020. But rumors had surfaced regarding a successor being in the works. As per our initial report, this new NEX model would launch as NEX 5 in the second half of this year. This device was rumored to feature an under display selfie camera under a waterfall display supplied by LG Display.

Vivo

Other rumored features include support for the company’s 120W Super FlashCharge and 60W wireless charging, along with IP68 certification for dust and water resistance. Unfortunately, finer details regarding this smartphone is currently unknown, so stay tuned for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

WhatsApp will allow you to pause voice recordings soon, Community feature also in the works

WhatsApp has been working on improving its user experience further with the addition of a few new features. It was recently revealed that the chat app will be getting a feature to listen to voice messages globally, with different playback speeds. And now, WhatsApp Beta Info has published a new report about the ability to pause voice recordings.

The report shows that WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow users to pause voice messages while they’re recording them. The feature is useful because it will allow you to fit your message within a single voice message without forcing you to stop and record a new one.

As seen on the demo video above, there is a new pause button on the voice recording panel, tapping which the recording immediately comes to a halt. It can then very conveniently be resumed as well using the same button.

The WhatsApp pause voice recordings feature has currently only hit a few users on the app’s beta channel on iOS but a wider rollout for all beta users is expected soon. WhatsApp Beta Info has confirmed that the same feature for Android is in the works as well.

Recently, an APK teardown by XDA revealed that WhatsApp is also working on a new “Community” feature that will co-exist with the existing Group feature. XDA speculates that a community could possibly host several WhatsApp Groups within itself (or be the other way round), as well as be a dedicated Channel for admins to message. Posts within could possibly host threaded responses, not unlike the kind that Telegram allows in its channel posts.

This was as per WhatsApp’s latest beta, v2.21.21.6 that came with several new strings that point towards the upcoming Community feature.

Tesla urged by Indian Minister to not sell China made EVs in South Asian nations

Indian Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has urged Tesla to stop selling its electric cars made in China to other countries in South Asia. The news arrives prior to the company’s EVs entering the Indian market.

Tesla

According to SCMP, the Minister stated that the American electric car manufacturer should “make cars in India, sell in India and export from India.” Furthermore, the brand should also rely on local suppliers. The Minister further added that Tesla car models in India will cost around 35 lakh INR or about 46,600 US Dollars and the local government is aiming on helping the brand bring its EVs into the country.

Back in August, Tesla had stated that it has received approval to make or import four of its EV car models in India. As of right now, the company is manufacturing its vehicles in factories in the US and in Shanghai, China, while also awaiting final approval for a new plant in Germany as well. Meanwhile, India is also trying to diversify its supply chains away from China, due to recent frictions caused by military clashes in the border regions last year.

Prior to Tesla’s arrival in India, the company’s chief executive Elon Musk stated that the firm’s new electric vehicle plant near Berlin is expected to start producing new cars as early as next month. This factory will be making Model Y cars around November or December and will likely sources its batteries from the company’s factory in China.

Digital Chat Station was the leaker who shared some information about the upcoming OPPO Reno7 series. Today, the tipster is back again with more details.

According to him, the OPPO Reno7 series will use large-sized camera sensors. He specifically mentions that the vanilla OPPO Reno 7 will come equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, which measures 1/1.56” in size.

For those unaware, the current-gen OPPO Reno6 (review) as well as OPPO Reno6 Pro (review) sport an inferior 64MP OmniVision OV64B main sensor, which has a smaller size of 1/2″. We were unsatisfied with the camera performance on these two phones. Hopefully, the new improved sensors on the next-gen bring improvements.

Previously, the leaker revealed that the standard OPPO Reno7 will feature a metal frame and a punch-hole at the top left corner like its predecessor. He also mentioned that it will have a triple camera setup and a notification LED ring.

Last but not least, as per Digital Chat Station, the OPPO Reno7 will compete with yet-to-release vivo S12.
