Unreleased TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra with Wear 4100+ leaks in hands-on video

Mobvoi could be releasing its latest smartwatch, the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra anytime soon. An Italian tipster has released a YouTube video of the yet-to-be-released smartwatch showing some of its features and functionalities.

The TicWatch Pro 3 GPS was what could be seen on the YouTube video, and it is unclear whether there is a separate model for a particular region. The TicWatch Pro 3 GPS will be powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ chip, which is a better choice in terms of efficiency, compared to the base Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip. The new co-processor uses less power even when the display is set at always-on. Little details were provided about the smartwatch by the presenter, although some differences could be seen from the retail box. A slightly different appearance in the slimmer bezel and less angular appearance highlight some of the differences between the new smartwatch and its predecessor, the TicWatch Pro 3.

In what is unlikely to be a coincidence, Mobvoi updated its details about the listing of the product by stating that it is powered by the updated Snapdragon Wear 4100+. The Mobvoi changes in its Amazon Store also included the TicWatch E3. Interestingly, Fossil’s Gen 6 smartwatches are also powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform.TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra

Little is known at this time on the number of variants of the Pro 3 GPS/Ultra that will be released ultimately. We also do not know the pricing details yet of the smartwatch. Mobvoi is yet to make any public statement relating to the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS/Ultra at this time.

Realme TechLife Air Purifier could be unveiled in India next week, retail box leaks

There is speculation that Realme could introduce to its Indian market, its latest air purifier in the last week of September 2021. The Realme TechLife Air Purifier is already available in the Philippines and Indonesia. It will be making its entry into the Indian markets, as the global availability of the product is gradually scaled up by Realme.Realme TechLife Air Purifier

The lineup of products this month in India has been a long list. The products already launched this month include the Realme 8i, 8s 5G, Realme Pad, and Bluetooth Speakers. Next week’s unveiling announcement will be preceded by another product launch event in India today and the Realme Band 2 is among the devices listed. Other products are the Smart TV Neo 32”, Narzo 50A, and Narzo 50i.Realme TechLife Air Purifier

Realme has had a tremendous impact on the Indian market, which is arguably the company’s largest source of product sales. The Realme TechLife Air Purifier and the HEPA filter will be available for purchase in India separately, although the pricing details for the TechLife Air Purifier are unknown at this time. The HEPA filter is required to be changed every 4-6 months for optimal performance of the air purifier. Some images of what could possibly be the upcoming Realme Air Purifier indicate that it will be sold for Rs. 1,499 ($20) in India. There is also a specification that the actual price may be a bit lower than the stated price tag on the retail box.

As per details from other markets where the air purifier has already been released, we know that it comes with a three-stage filtration system with an advertised capacity to remove 99.5% of dust and other pollution particles from the air. It has five operation modes for different air situations, features a real-time air quality indicator, and a timer function for turning off the device after a specified duration of the operation.

There had been no official statement from Realme on the product launch in India of the TechLife Air Purifier.

OPPO Watch Free officially confirmed to launch on September 26

OPPO has officially announced that it would launch a new smartwatch dubbed OPPO Watch Free in China. The company revealed this via a post on Weibo, indicating that the launch event will hold on September 26. The post is accompanied by renders of the device, giving us a good look at the design. OPPO Watch Free

From the teaser poster, we can gather that the OPPO Watch Free will feature a vertically elongated rectangular display similar to that of the Huawei Watch Fit and the more recently announced Realme Band 2. The screen is surrounded by what we believe is a metal frame that is coated black on the black variant and gold on the beige model. The watch won’t have a phyical button just like the Realme Band 2. Instead, users will make do with the touchscreen display. In addition, the Watch Free will feature a textured rubber strap with ridges for breathability and comfort.OPPO Watch Free

Te posters, the Watch Free will have some sort of sleep tracking that will allow you to wear it at night. We’ll know what kind of OS will the device run in two days, and we’ll also learn the exact pricing and availability details.

At the moment, other details of the smartwatch are still not in the open. However, we don’t expect its specifications to be as studded as the Watch 2. That also points at a cheaper price tag.

Apart from the Watch Freee, OPPO is also expected to launch the Oppo K9 Pro smartphone and a Smart TV on that same day.

Dell tops PC monitor shipments in Q2 2021, Lenovo sees highest growth

COVID-19 and the resultant global lockdown may have had a deep impact, but the PC monitor market has continued to grow well over a year later.

The latest figures from International Data Corporation’s Worldwide Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker are out (via: IDC) and show that worldwide shipments were just over 35 million units in the second quarter of 2021. This is an increase of 11.2% compared to the numbers from the same quarter in 2020 when COVID-19 lockdowns were in full force.

monitor

The demand has been stronger than ever this year. However, supply was constrained by various challenges that affected not only the PC monitor production but much of the electronics industry at large.

Components such as ICs that go into display panels remained limited. This, combined with rising transportation costs and logistical challenges, led to price hikes. Buyers fulfilling urgent demand and hedging against expected shortages further contributed to the hike.

Company Highlights

The share of commercial shipments saw a drop in Q2 2021 compared to a year ago, losing out to growing demand from home users. Much of this was driven by gaming monitors alone. Another reason for the drop is that the commercial segment was bought more thanks to the lifting of COVID curbs which led to a recovery in office occupancy.

But perhaps, it is the low-tier vendors ranking below the top 5 PC monitor companies, that benefitted the most from the growth in demand from home users. Such brands captured almost 36% of the market share compared to their 32.2% share from a year ago.

pc-monitor-shipments-2021-figures

As clear from the above table, Dell Technologies continues to top the 2021 worldwide PC monitor shipments list with over 7,549,000 million units sold in Q2 2021. Lenovo follows with 4,164,000 units. However, the latter has seen a significantly higher YoY growth, or almost double to be precise – where Dell has seen an 18.6% increase in shipments in Q2 2021 when compared to Q2 2021, Lenovo has seen a growth of 35.2%.

Looking ahead, IDC expects to see stabilization in monitor component pricing as demand wears off and component shortages ease out a bit in the second half of this year.

Shipments are predicted to peak at a little over 147 million units, the highest level since 2012. Following that, volumes are expected to decline in the coming years, eventually stabilizing at 139 million by 2025.

pc-monitor-shipments-2021-forecast

“The second quarter capped five consecutive quarters of positive year-on-year growth, four quarters of which were growth in the double digits. Such momentum has never been seen in the history of our monitor coverage,” said Jay Chou, research manager for IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker.

“However, we believe the market will soon reach an inflection point. Demand will begin to cool in the latter half of 2021, with small declines in 2022 thru 2024. Nonetheless, long-term assumptions have already shifted for the better compared to pre-COVID times as location-agnostic modes of work/study become more popular, thus enlarging the installed base,” he added.

OPPO Reno7 details emerge from a reliable source

OPPO Reno6 series has just made its way to some markets lately since its initial debut in China earlier this year. But it appears the company is already gearing up to launch the OPPO Reno7 series very soon. A popular leaker has now revealed some details about the upcoming lineup.

OPPO Reno 6 5G Featured A
OPPO Reno6 5G

According to a now-deleted post by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, OPPO will be soon launching the OPPO Reno7 series in China. Its primary competitor will be the upcoming vivo S12 series. This means vivo will be skipping the S11 branding and jump to S12 from the current-gen S10.

That said, the tipster has only disclosed information about the vanilla OPPO Reno7. As per him, this smartphone will feature a similar front design as its predecessor OPPO Reno6. In other words, the flat display on it will have a punch-hole at the top left corner. Additionally, the bottom bezel will be thinner than the older model.

Further, he says that the phone will have a metal frame. It will house a triple camera setup on the rear and there will be improvements in their performance. Lastly, one of these cameras will sport an LED notification ring.

We expect to learn more about the OPPO Reno7 series in the coming days. The forthcoming handsets will likely use different chipsets like their predecessors.

Honda to use Google’s Android Automotive in its cars from 2022

For the first time ever, cars from Honda will be featuring Google‘s Android Automotive software. So, it seems that Google has managed to bring in another major automobile manufacturer on board for its new operating system for cars.

Honda
Prologue EV from Honda

Now, Honda will begin launching cars that arrive with Google’s embedded Android Automotive OS, which also features the Google voice assistant. Other notable features include the Google Maps among other infotainment based systems and other Automotive approved Android applications. The first vehicles from the Japanese carmaker to feature the Android Automotive will roll out next year. Although, the company has yet to reveal which models will feature this system first.

A Honda spokesperson revealed (Via TheVerge) that “We will collaborate with Google to better integrate Google in vehicle services in our vehicles including the ability to more easily use features like Google Assistant, Google Maps functionality and other in-vehicle apps offered through Google Play.” Keep in mind that Android Automotive is different from Android Auto. The latter is a system that is projected from a paired smartphone rather than being a separate infotainment system altogether like the former.

Honda

At the moment, only cars are available with this embedded Android Automotive, namely the Polestar 2 and Volvo XC40 Recharge. However, Google has made deals with other notable players in the automobile industry like Ford, General Motors, and more, which should result in millions of vehicles in the future featuring this system as their default operating system.

Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G tipped to get 3 Android updates

Xiaomi has confirmed to launch the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G in India. This smartphone is a newer version of the Mi 11 Lite 5G. It was announced alongside the Xiaomi 11T series last week. Ahead of this device’s debut in India, a tipster has revealed the details about the variant heading to the country.

Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G Featured A
Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G

According to Yogesh Brar, the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G will be the first Xiaomi smartphone with the new ‘Xiaomi’ branding, which is obvious. As per him, the handset will be available in four colors and two configurations in the region.

Further, unlike the original Mi 11 Lite that launched in the country at the end of June, the newer 5G model will feature NFC for contactless payments via Google Pay and other supported applications. Like most recently Xiaomi phones, it will also come with Google Phone, Google Messages, and Google Duo.

Most importantly, the tipster claims that this handset will get 3 Android updates and 4 years of security patches. For those unaware, Xiaomi did not mention the longer software support during the global launch event last week.

The new software policy was thought to be exclusive to the Xiaomi 11T and the Xiaomi 11T Pro for now. But it does not appear to be the case. This means most mid-range and all the premium smartphones from Xiaomi will now most likely receive the same software treatment.

Last but not least, Yogesh says that the Xiaomi 11 Lite Ne 5G will be priced more than ₹22,000 in India. To know about the exact price, we will have to wait until September 29.

Xiaomi CIVI to offer Pixel level skin rejuvenation beauty mode: Lei Jun

Xiaomi is gearing up for the launch of its upcoming CIVI smartphone. The device is set to be unveiled on 27th September 2021, but prior to its launch, the company’s Founder and CEO revealed an interesting feature regarding the smartphone.

Xiaomi

In a Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website) post, Lei Jun stated the new CIVI will offer pixel level skin rejuvenation through its camera’s beauty mode. As per the senior executive, the new beauty mode will bring out the true potential of the users’ skin. Lei Jun stated in the social media post that “I do not believe in perfection, but I think everyone has their own beauty,” (direct translatation).

Furthermore, the official also reshared another Weibo post that showcased the camera’s beauty mode in action. In this, we can observe the CIVI’s selfie camera taking images of a user who’s acne was covered up almost seamlessly through the new beauty mode. The Founder and CEO also used the social media platform to explain the workings of this new beauty mode. He stated that advancement in technology enabled the company to offer skin rejuvenation at the pixel level.

Xiaomi

Xiaomi managed to achieve this by using an advanced Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that helps “rebuild” the skin. While this does seem promising, we will have to wait for real tests to know about its actual effectiveness. We will also be covering the September 27 launch event as well, so stay tuned for more updates.

Xiaomi has officially teased its upcoming smartwatch, the Color Watch 2. The new wearable is set to launch on 27th September 2021 and will be the latest smartwatch from the company.

As per the latest teaser poster, the Chinese tech giant’s Watch Color 2 will sport a round dial and will be available for purchase in 6 color straps. Furthermore, the company will also offer over 200 dial faces to choose from online.

Since then, the company even launched a Color Sport variant as well that brought GPS functionality and blood oxygen detection, among other features.

Xiaomi

In other words, we can expect the upcoming Watch Color 2 to also feature many of these features with slight improvements.

But the brand has yet to reveal any finer details regarding this smartwatch as of right now. Notably, the September 27 launch event will also include the announcement for the Xiaomi CIVI smartphone, Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earphones and other products. So stay tuned for more, as we will be covering the launch event and any new teasers shared before its official release as well.

Realme V11s 5G launched in China with Dimensity 810 processor

Realme just launched the Realme V11s 5G in China as another addition to the V series. The phone is a successor to the V11 that was launched early this year and comes with a couple of notable upgrades.

realme-v21s-5g

The more important of the two is that the phone is now powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset, which should offer improved performance over its predecessor’s Dimensity 700. As a cherry on top, the Realme V11s 5G is actually the very first device to use the chip.

Apart from this, you get the addition of DRE. Dynamic RAM Expansion is the latest obsession in the Android world and it allows the internal storage to be used as an extension of the RAM, effectively allowing more apps to run concurrently. The tech allows the 4GB variant to get extended virtually to 5GB, while the 6GB version apparently can reach 11GB.

realme-v21s-5g

The Realme V11s 5G’s design is unchanged when compared to the Realme V11, with both having the same body. Both also come with the same 5000mAh battery capable of getting filled up at 18W. They also sport the same 13MP + 2MP cameras.

Additionally, the Realme V11s 5G has a thickness of 8.4mm and a weight of 189g. The display is unchanged and is still sized at 6.5-inches with a waterdrop notch atop. A side fingerprint sensor has been given for security and the phone will be booting into Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 out of the box.

realme-v21s-5g

The phone has two variants, both with the same storage space of 128GB. The 4GB RAM variant is priced at 1399 yuan while the 6+128G costs 1599 yuan. Color options are two – Aurora Purple and Igneous Gray. There is no indication of a global launch as of yet.

Bluetti PV120 and PV200 portable solar panels launched with 200W and 120W capacity, respectively

After the launch of the AC300 solar power inverter along with the 3000W Sine Wave inverter, Bluetti introduced two new solar panels – PV120 and PV200. These could be quite handy, in case of a power emergency as these days weather is getting extreme, and we can’t expect a 24×7 power supply in that case. A portable power solution could give greater relief. However, there are many other applications for portable solar panels along with power stations.

Must See: Bluetti introduced AC200 Max off-grid power station with B230 and B300 battery modules

Due to modular design and circuits, the users can generate electricity by connecting it with the existing setup. The flexible design offers the ability to set up the panels at any place having an ample amount of sunlight throughout the day.

Bluetti introduced SP120 solar panel in Jul 2020 and later 200-watt SP200 panel in 2021 with EP500 power station. Bluetti’s new solar panels – PV120 and PV200 can be flawlessly used along with AC300 and AC200MAX. Here’s our comparison with previous generation solar panels.

Bluetti’s new solar panels PV120 and PV200 are built with blue ABS material having a smaller logo. The black rubber handles enhance portability along with modular design. The PV series features a new one-piece waterproof coating design that encapsulates the solar cells, meanwhile, the SP series carried one giant raw canvas.

The new PV panels now carry a new snap fastener design which allows easy adjustment, unlike the previous SP panels. Moreover, the new PV panels are bit heavy due to advanced waterproof coating.

Efficiency

Solar panels are available in three different technologies using different materials – Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline and Amorphous. Among these Monocrystalline offers the highest efficiency among all due to the presence of a single large silicon crystal. Both Bluetti’s SP and newly launched PV solar panels use Monocrystallinewith increased efficiency of around 23-24%.

Shading Performance

Bluetti PV panels are configured with a parallel connection to reduce the voltage fluctuation if shade comes over the panel. It is a great way to enhance power production without incurring losses due to shade on some parts of the panels. The parallel connection allows all other panels to run at full potential, even if some panels are under shade.

It helps to overcome efficiency drops due to obstructions such as trees, nearby buildings, etc. Bluetti PV200 and PV120 will easily said you away from such issues.

Pricing and Availability

Bluetti PV panels are not on sale if you buy them with solar generators. The 200W PV200 is available for $549 per piece and the 120W variant for $399. However, the price reduces to $425 per piece if you grab it with AC200 + PV200 bundle. The discount is applicable only for the title 30 September.

Xiaomi patents a 3D imaging system that could enhance smartphone photography

Earlier today (24th September 2021), Xiaomi published a patent for a new imaging system. This would allow users to take 3D images using multiple devices that are connected to one another.

The patent has the publication number CN113438462A and is titled under “a multi-device interconnected shooting method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium.” Looking at the patent description, the new system basically combines images taken from a number of interconnected devices to obtain a three dimensional image. This would enhance the overall photography experience and let users experiment to find creative ways to shoot their subject/scenery that they are trying to capture.

 

Xiaomi

According to the patent, the shooting process would involve communication between these interconnected devices that would request a connection first and then acquire shooting information that will form the final shot. These device will also include a panoramic shot on which the other shots will be layered. So, a minimum of two devices will be required for this imaging process. As of right now, it is unknown if the company is actually working on such a system or is just covering all bases. However, this might make smartphone photography more interesting by involving multiple devices/users and add a more social aspect as well.

The first sale of the fitness tracker is scheduled for September 27 at 12 PM.

realme Band 2 Specifications and Features

The realme Band 2 is totally different from its predecessor. It looks more like a smartwatch than a fitness tracker. It features a design similar to that of HONOR Band 6 and HUAWEI Band 6.

The accessory sports a 1.4-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 167 x 320 pixels and 500 nits brightness. This screen supports touch input and there’s a capacitive button at the bottom bezel.

realme Band 2 Featured B

It comes in a single Space Grey color option with 50m water resistance. However, users can buy any 18mm interchangeable wrist strap of their choice separately.

The wearable arrives with a 3-axis accelerometer, an optical heart rate sensor, and an SpO2 sensor. It supports 90 sports modes (via future OTA update), heart-rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, sleep monitoring, menstrual cycle monitoring, and stress monitoring.

It also has features like sedentary reminders, breathing exercises, music playback control, camera shutter, alarm, reminder, app notifications, call alerts, and others. Users can also use the band to control select realme AIoT products.

realme Band 2 Featured C

The fitness accessory connects via Bluetooth 5.1 and uses the realme Link companion application. It is compatible with devices running Android 5.1+ and iOS 11+.

Google Chrome to soon add Microsoft Edge-like Side Search feature

The Google Chrome team is experimenting with a new feature that could arrive in the future live build of the browser. A new “Side Search” function has been spotted that appears to be similar to a feature on Microsoft Edge.

The new feature on Chrome was spotted by Leopeva64 (Via XDADevelopers). It appears to be a Side Search that will display search results inside a small panel without having the user open another new tab. As of right now, Chrome offers a side panel that shows bookmarks and a “Reading List” so it isn’t unlikely that the search engine giant would seek to broaden this panel’s functionality.

Although, Leovpeva64 believes that the feature will not use the current side panel located on the right, rather, the company could implement a Side Search panel on the left side specifically for this feature. Furthermore, three related flags were also spotted on Chromium Gerrit, which includes a Side Search, Side search clear cache when close, and a Side search state per tab functions.

Google Chrome Logo Featured

Notably, the new Side Search feature resembles the Microsoft Edge’s sidebar search quite a bit. Functionally, both features are quite similar, while the Edge’s sidebar search offers users to highlight a word or phrase on a webpage and display relevant search results on the side panel as well.

After teasing for days, realme has officially launched the realme smart TV Neo 32” in India. It was announced alongside the realme narzo 50 series and realme Band 2. Just like we expected, this television does not run Android TV. We thought that this TV will be more affordable than the competition because of this reason. But unfortunately, that’s not the case.

realme Smart TV Neo 32” Specifications and Features

The realme Smart TV Neo 32” sports a 32-inch LED-backlit LCD panel. The resolution should be 1366 x 768 pixels (HD Ready) but realme has not mentioned it. Anyway, the brand does say that the display is TÜV Rheinland-certified for low blue light emission.

Further, the television is powered by an unknown chipset with a quad-core CPU. Unfortunately, there are no details on its RAM and storage.

On the connectivity front, the TV arrives with WiFi, 2 x HDMI, 1 x USB, Antenna, audio out (3.5mm), and Ethernet. There’s no mention of Bluetooth, and therefore, we think the television lacks it. Hence, it does not appear to have voice control as well.

realme Smart TV Neo 32 Features Talking about software, TV runs some other operating system other than Android TV (probably a Linux-based OS). It comes with YouTube 2021, Quick Cast (Miracast), and realme’s proprietary Chroma Boost Picture Engine color profile.

Going by the renders on the official website, the television may only support streaming platforms like Hungama Play, Eros Now, and Yupp TV. Hence, buyers will have to invest separately in a streaming device to get access to popular streaming services like Netlfix, Amazon Prime Video, and others.

Last but not least, the television uses 20W speakers with support for Dolby Audio.

realme Smart TV Neo 32” Price and Availability in India

The realme Smart TV Neo 32” is priced at ₹14,999 ($203) in India. For comparison, the newly announced Redmi Smart TV 32 with Android TV and a better set of features just costs ₹1,000 more (₹15,999). 

The first sale of the television is scheduled at 12 PM on October 3. It will be also available at a discounted price tag during the upcoming Flipkart Big Billion Days sale, which will run from October 7 to 12.
