Huami’s latest PumpBeats BP monitoring engine offers BP check in 30s, 24-hour BP monitoring

Jul 13, 2021

Chinese tech giant and Xiaomi eco-chain partner Huami held the Next Beat conference today. Apart from the self-developed Huangshan 2S chip and Zepp OS, the tech giant also announced a new PumpBeats blood pressure monitoring engine.

Hypertension is a silent killer which affects a large number of the individuals cutting across different social strata and race. Wang Kongqiao, Vice President of Algorithm Technology at Huamiduring the conference shared a set of data that shows that as many as 245 million adults are living with hypertension in China.

The new PumpBeats blood pressure monitoring engine is said to have taken Huami 5 years to develop. The engine is capable of measuring the BP in just 30 seconds. PumpBeats can also provide 24-hour continuous blood pressure monitoring as well as data collection, fusion, and AI model establishment around high-precision optical sensors.

Apple has been able to integrate a BP monitoring feature on its smartwatch but that only functions with a medically validated, connected blood pressure monitor. With this new PumpBeats engine, Huami claims users can monitor their blood pressure anytime, anywhere directly from a smartwatch.

Huami says the accuracy of the PumpBeats blood pressure monitoring engine has been verified by Peking University First Hospital in Beijing, China. Clinical experiments show that the average absolute deviation of the engine’s systolic blood pressure is lower than 5.14mmHG, and the diastolic blood pressure is lower than 4.88mmHG, the engine is reliable and the blood pressure measurement takes only 30s.

Apart from one-off BP checks, the engine can also provide 24-hour continuous blood pressure monitoring and explore new ways to screen for occult hypertension.

Huami is expected to release a smartwatch donning the PumpBeats engine in Q4 this year.

Amazfit PowerBuds Pro packs multiple health features and ANC for $149

Jul 13, 2021

Last year, Huami marked its entry into the earbuds space with the launch of the Amazfit ZenBuds and Amazfit PowerBuds. Today, it has announced its third model called the Amazfit PowerBuds Pro, and it packs a handful of health features as well as Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).

Amazfit PowerBuds Pro Design

The Amazfit PowerBuds Pro completely ditches the design of its predecessor. Huami has adopted the stem design made popular by the AirPods and has also redesigned the case too. Both the earbuds and case have a two-tone matte finish – gray on the inside and white on the outside.

Each earbud weighs 6.7 grams and has IP55 dust and water-resistance rating making them suitable for sweaty workouts and the occasional times you are caught up in the rain. Users get four pairs of silicone earplugs of different sizes.

Amazfit PowerBuds Pro Health Features

The PowerBuds Pro is not just any ordinary pair of earbuds. Huami says it can track your speed, time, distance, calories burned, heart rate, pace, and step count when applicable while walking, running, and cycling. Just like some smartwatches, the earbuds will automatically begin tracking these metrics once it detects you have begun running.

Users will also receive real-time voice notifications about their distance, heart rate, and more with every kilometer or mile when running, walking, or cycling. You will also be able to get the info on demand by tapping the right earbud. Yes, the right earbud is the one with the PPG optical heart rate sensor.

Another cool feature of the PowerBuds Pro is its ability to detect and show in the app the sitting angle of your cervical spine. If your position hasn’t changed in a long while, you will get a rhythm to which you can move your neck to relax.

There is also a volume analysis feature that will advise you on a safe listening volume and a recommended listening time. Last is a Motion Beat Mode that automatically makes what you are listening to stronger and clearer when you are working out.

Amazfit PowerBuds Pro Audio Features

For the audio features, the addition of Active Noise Cancellation is one of the major upgrades. Huami claims noise can be reduced by up to 40dB with a combination of hybrid digital adaptive noise-reduction and passive sound insulation.

The PowerBuds Pro has four noise cancellation modes – indoor, travel, sports/workout, and an adaptive mode that automatically adjusts depending on your environment. There is also Thru Mode, Huami’s take on Transparency Mode, that allows you to hear the world around you. This comes in handy when having conversations or listening for announcements.

The earbuds have a total of six microphones (three on each) made up of two dual-beamforming digital mics and a call-pickup digital mic. An AI call noise-reduction algorithm helps reduce wind noise by up to 40dB and environmental noise by up to 35db.

The PowerBuds Pro has smart in-ear detection (automatic pause and play when you remove and put the earbuds). It supports touch controls and also works with the voice assistant on your phone. Connection is fast (simply opening the case will get them to pair with your phone) but the first setup needs you to connect via the Zepp app. Huami says that an OTA update will bring support for Google Fast Pair.

The earbuds have a battery life of up to 30 hours with the case. The earbuds will last up to 9 hours with ANC off but that drops to 5 hours 45 minutes when you turn on ANC. That number drops further to 3 hours 30 minutes for calls and with ANC turned on. The battery capacity in each earbud is 68mAh while that of the case is 510mAh. The case charges via USB-C and charging time takes 2.5 hours.

Price and Availability

The Amazfit PowerBuds Pro is priced at $149.99 and is available in one colorway called Frost White. There is no info on when it will be available.

The OnePlus Nord 2 will get only two major OS upgrades

Jul 13, 2021

In what can be described as typical of OnePlus, the manufacturer has been releasing bits of information about its upcoming smartphone, the OnePlus Nord 2. The latest info is about the phone’s software support.

According to a tweet by OnePlus India, the OnePlus Nord 2 will come pre-installed with OxygenOS 11 (based on Android 11). An earlier report already revealed that it is actually OxygenOS 11.3 and it will be the first OnePlus phone to come with the new integrated codebase with ColorOS.

Take a deep breath and chill, worrywarts. OnePlus Nord 2 comes pre-installed with OxygenOS 11 backed up by 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates.

Get Notified – https://t.co/hh6l42Dggc pic.twitter.com/lmkcOGcA0c

— OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) July 13, 2021

The tweet also disclosed that the Nord 2 will receive two major Android updates which means it will receive Android 12 and Android 13. In addition to these OS upgrades, the phone will receive security updates for 3 years.

The info above should not be surprising as OnePlus already revealed earlier this month that Nord and Nord CE models will receive two major OS updates and three years of security updates. The more affordable Nord N series will receive only one major OS update but get three years of security updates too.

The OnePlus Nord 2 will have a 90Hz AMOLED display with a single punch-hole at the corner for the front-facing camera. It will be powered by the Dimensity 1200-AI processor, a custom version of the Dimensity 1200 that provides “AI-assisted imaging for an improved photography experience, display enhancements, and better response times for faster and smoother gaming”.

The OnePlus Nord 2 will be announced on July 22.

Huami unveils a new Huangshan 2S chip & self-developed Zepp OS for smartwatches

By

-

Jul 13, 2021

Chinese tech startup Huami Technology today held its Next Beat 2021 conference at Hefei, China. The conference is themed “The Future of Health” and indeed, the company announced several new products tailored towards promoting the health of users of its products.

Two of the products released include a new generation of smart wearable chips dubbed Huangshan 2S and a new self-developed operating system named Zepp OS. The new operating system focuses on health.

The Huangshan 2S chip is said to be the industry’s first dual-core RISC-V wearable chip. It also features an independent GPU. The processor comes with artificial intelligence and can achieve super-computing power and ultra-low power consumption. The chip can perform high-load calculations such as graphics and UI operations. Among them, the large-core system also integrates FPU and supports floating-point operations.

The processor takes over from the Huangshan 2 chip which was released around this time last year. Compared to the previous-gen model, the Huangshan 2S has an improved computing performance by 18%, while operating power consumption has been reduced by 56%. The sleep power consumption has also been reduced by 93%. Huami claims the processor can process sensor data for 24 hours and realize continuous monitoring of biological data in all weathers.

The Huangshan 2S chip integrates a 2.5D GPU which improves the graphics acceleration performance of the new chip by up to 67% compared to the previous generation. The GPU can independently and efficiently process graphics-related instructions, making the operating system run more smoothly. In addition, the convolutional neural network acceleration processing unit on the chip can quickly identify the type of disease; taking atrial fibrillation as an example, its recognition speed is 26 times faster than pure software calculations.

Huami also unveiled a new Zepp OS to provide an alternative to the Android Wear OS and others. The self-developed OS is entirely developed for smartwatches. Huami’s co-founder and the rotating president of the Global Innovation Center, Fan Meihui stated that the new OS comes with three main features – lightness, smoothness, and practicality.

Talking of lightness, the new operating system is based on the FreeRTOS microkernel open source code, which occupies a very small space compared to other general OS. The system package is only 55MB, which is about 1/28 of Apple’s watch OS and 1/10 of the Amazfit OS used by Huami Technology. From low-profile single-chip microcomputers to high-performance SoCs, the system is perfectly compatible and suitable for all types of wearable products.

Based on the lightweight underlying code and various power optimization methods, Zepp OS has further improved the battery life to ensure 24 hours continuous health data monitoring. The operating power consumption of Zepp OS is reduced by 65% compared to the previous Amazfit OS. Compared with the Amazfit Watch 2 running Amazfit OS, the battery life of the watch equipped with Zepp OS has increased by 190%.

Another major feature of Zepp OS is smoothness. The frame rate of most interfaces in the system can exceed 60fps, and the effect is smooth and delicate. In addition, the system also integrates 150 dials, including 15 cool dynamic dials.

Zepp OS also has powerful IoT connectivity and network functions. It can realize smart home control, NFC access control for cardless payment, etc. The OS also makes it easy to connect other heath equipment such as blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, etc. In the future, through cooperation with GoPro, Huami smartwatch users will be able to control GoPro sports cameras to take pictures right from the watch.

At the same time, the system also supports various Internet cloud service applications, such as NetEase Cloud Music, Alexa, and Yuepaoquan.

In addition, Zepp OS supports 4G/5G connections and Wi-Fi connections. It also integrates a complete set of TCP/IP network protocols. This means that smartwatches equipped with eSIM can be directly connected to the cloud without a mobile phone, which is convenient for users.

For developers, Zepp OS is also equipped with a friendly and easy-to-use watch JS applet framework-Zeus Mini-Program Framework, which is convenient for developers to develop watch applets with a lower threshold. In the future, the same easy-to-use graphical development environment will be opened for dial design, and even individual users can easily design personalized dials.

Samsung Galaxy M02 receives its second price hike in India

By

-

Jul 13, 2021

Samsung launched the Galaxy M02 in India in early February. Just a month later, the handset’s price was increased. Now, four months from that, the smartphone gets yet another price hike. Let’s take a look at how much the device now costs in the country.

Samsung Galaxy M02 All Colors Featured — Samsung Galaxy M02

The Samsung Galaxy M02 sold in India comes in two variants – 2GB + 32GB and 3GB + 32GB. They debuted at ₹6,999 and ₹7,499 respectively.

As mentioned earlier, the handset got its first price hike a little over a month from its announcement. The device price was increased by ₹500. Hence, it had been selling for ₹7,499 and ₹7,999 since then.

Now, once again, the Galaxy M02 receives a price hike of ₹500. As a result, the phone now retails at ₹7,999 and ₹8,499 for the 2GB + 32GB and 3GB 32GB storage configurations respectively.

Some of the highlights of the Galaxy M02 include a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen, MediaTek MT6739W SoC, 13MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) dual-camera setup, 5MP selfie camera, and 5,000mAh battery.

It is worth noting that Samsung is not the only company to increase the price of its smartphones as well as TVs in recent times. Almost all phone and TV brands have hiked the price of their certain products due to a shortage of supplies.

Unfortunately, it’s not clear when the situation will improve. Hopefully, it does sooner than later as it could affect the demand in India, which in return could further harm the country’s economy.

OnePlus Nord’s latest update delivers improved battery life, June 2021 security patch

By

Jul 13, 2021

OnePlus isn’t just planning on pushing out new midrange models following the success of the Nord last year but is also striving to push out fresh updates to the original model. The tech giant has now rolled out a new update for the first-gen Nord smartphone.

The update ushers in the OS version Oxygen 11.1.4.4 and brings some improvements to the device such as improved battery life and a couple of bug fixes. The changelog for the update shows that the device comes with a reduction in power consumption in specific areas. It also fixes the issue of delayed notifications. The new update equally fixes the overheating issue in certain scenarios. In addition, the new update brings the June 2021 security patch.

Owers of the OnePlus Nord owners have started receiving the update via OTA push but to avoid bricking their smartphones, it is important that users ensure that their phone’s battery has up to 30% of battery power before commencing the update. It is also required that there is a minimum of 3GB RAM space available before starting the update.

This is the second time the Nord smartphone is receiving a new update since May. In the month of May, OnePlus provided an OTA update for the device which arrived as OxygenOS 11.1.1.3. The update brings an upgrade to the security patch and several new fixes.

Since the vanilla Nord’s launch last year, the Chinese tech giant went on to release a number of mid-range models such as the Nord N100, Nord N10. This year, the company has already unveiled the Nord CE 5G and Nord N200 5G. The Nord 2 5G is expected to join the fray later this month.

LG Innotek and Corning working on ‘Liquid Lens’ that could benefit smartphone photography

By

-

Jul 13, 2021

LG Innotek and Corning are jointly working on a new project. This collaboration between the brands is for the research on a new liquid lens technology, which could potentially bring benefits for the photography aspect of smartphones.

According to TheElec report, the news arrives from patent filings that were recently spotted. Both brands have 50-50 stakes in the nine patents that are related to the liquid lens technology. The core technologies listed in these patents include a liquid lens system, how to control a camera lens (which features the liquid lens), and lens curvature varying instrument. The liquid lens has a vinyl bag shaped lens with liquid material. So, the lens is capable of going in and out of focus depending on the curvature of the liquid that can be changed with a current of voltage.

To put things simply, unlike a conventional lens, the liquid lens does not have to move to control focal length. This would enable smartphone makers to make thinner camera modules since the liquid lens changes as per the requirements and does not physically move. Furthermore, it could even bring various improvements in the camera performance of smartphones as well.

The new technology could potentially offer faster and more accurate focusing abilities, which is useful in video captures. On the other hand, the technology could also enable OEMs to develop better stabilization for cameras, which, in turn, would lead to clearer low light images as well. Unfortunately, this technology has yet to be adopted commercially by any brand as of right now, so stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Jul 13, 2021

Earlier today (13th July 2021), a new product went live for crowdfunding on the Xiaomi Youpin platform. This is a new pet dryer, which lets users safely dry their pets without any hassles.

The product is currently listed on the Youpin platform at the moment and its official specifications stated that it can offer 15 seconds of rapid heating to help dry pets. This has it reach a constant temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, it also supports the internal and external circulation of air, while also simulating natural winds to keep the pets calm with low noise levels. In other words, this product would be perfect for those that seek to avoid the hassles of drying their unruly pets.

Furthermore, the drying process neutralized static electricity from the pet’s fur, while also repairing hair scales, and forms a moisture protection layer on the fur as well. Drying from a hair dryer or towel would usually lead to that pet’s hair sticking on end, but this product avoids this and makes the hair smoother. Once you dry your pets, the in built deodorizing module turns on to promptly remove any residual odour from the process in the small cabin.

To ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure, the small pet dryer is also built with transparent materials that offer a 180 degree field of vision on either side as well as the top region. It also houses built in lighting and has a 60 liter volume that is compatible with the usual house cats and smaller breeds of dogs that weigh less than 9 kilograms. For additional safety, the product also carries a heat warning module that cuts off power if internal temperatures exceed 42 degrees Celsius. The Pet Drying Box is currently listed on Xiaomi Youpin platform for 699 Yuan (roughly 110 US Dollars).

New rumor from China claims Samsung Galaxy S30 will sport a punch hole display

Jul 13, 2021

A new rumor from China regarding an unreleased Samsung flagship smartphone has just surfaced on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. The rumor is for the Galaxy S30 series, which will apparently still feature a punch hole display on the front.

For those unaware, the next gen selfie shooters in flagship handsets are expected to make a shift towards under display sensors, which are expected to be more common next year. Although, it seems like the South Korean tech giant will refrain from making this shift for a while longer. The news arrives from @数码闲聊站 who believes that the company will still ship the Galaxy S30 lineup with punch hole cameras on the front due to the maturity of the technology.

The tipster added that the Galaxy Z Fold3 will be the first from the brand to feature an under display camera. However, the next gen flagship Galaxy S30 series will still feature a punch hole shooter on the front owing to the company’s maturity with this particular camera technology in its smartphones. In other words, the company might be going for the older but more reliable technology while it perfects the newer one’s implementation.

Reportedly, the punch hole shooter on the Galaxy S30 series will be housed in the top center region of the display, while its primary rear image sensor will still sport 100 megapixel camera. While some rumors had pointed at a 200 megapixel sensor on the Galaxy S30 Ultra, other reports claim that the company will offer a more refined 100 megapixel image for the upcoming flagship series. Keep in mind, this is still an unconfirmed report and it is still too early to talk about the Galaxy S30 lineup, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.

While being more affordable, the G335 is slimmer and lighter and retains key features like memory foam ear cups and adjustable headbands from its more expensive wireless sibling.

The Logitech G335 wired gaming headset is priced at INR 6,795 and is available from Amazon.in. There are only two colors available right now in India – Black and White. Interestingly, the global version of the G335 had an additional Mint color.

Weighing just around 240 grams, the Logitech G335 is one of the lightest gaming headsets in the market right now. It features a slimmer design than the G733 and comes with memory form ear pads as well as an adjustable suspension headband. Logitech says that the breathable ear pads and the elastic headband ensure a comfortable fit even during long hours of gaming. Further, the headband is reversible and washable as well.

The G335 headset features 40mm neodymium drivers for gaming-grade audio quality. The headset promises easy ‘plug and play’ support for most gaming platforms like Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC, and smartphones via a 3.5mm audio jack. The headset also features user-friendly controls like a volume roller on the ear cup, as well as a flip-to-mute mic. The G335 headset is Discord Certified too.

The HUAWEI P series is the company’s flagship smartphone lineup for the first half of the year. Unfortunately, due to the US ban and semiconductor shortage, the next-gen HUAWEI P50 series has been delayed. Currently, it’s not sure when the devices will launch, however, their features continue to leak.

A Huawei-focussed tipster who goes by the username @RODENT950 has revealed the camera specs of the HUAWEI P50 series. According to a tweet of his from Saturday (July 10), the next flagship smartphones from Huawei will arrive with the following camera setups.

HUAWEI P50

- - Sony IMX707
  - Sony IMX600
  - 3x Telephoto

HUAWEI P50 Pro

- Sony IMX800
- Omnivision OV64A
- 5x Periscope
- ToF / New Sensor

Unfortunately, the leaker is yet to reveal anything about the front camera. Hence, the selfie camera of these phones continues to be a mystery.

According to previous reports, the HUAWEI P50 Pro will flaunt a 2.5K (1224 x 2696 pixels) display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. Unsurprisingly, it will have support for 5G connectivity and WiFi 6+. Additionally, there could be a 4G variant as well.

Talking about the design, Huawei had already officially exposed the design of the HUAWEI P50 series at the HarmonyOS conference in early June. The back of the phones will house two giant circles with cameras inside them. In other words, the handsets will look similar to the HONOR 50 series.

What are your thoughts on the HUAWEI P50 series? Do you think the lineup will ever get a release date outside China as the company appears to be struggling to launch the smartphones even in its home country? Do let us know in the comment section below.
