Huami to announce a new OS and chip for smartwatches

By

If you have been wondering why Huami has been slow with announcing new products this year, we think we know why. It turns out the Chinese manufacturer that owns the Amazfit and Zepp brands has been developing a new operating system for its smartwatches.

A few days ago, Huami, announced that it has an event scheduled for July 13. It turns out that the manufacturer will be announcing its new operating system and a new chipset too at the event dubbed “The Future of Health”.

A Weibo post by Huang Wang, the founder, and CEO of Huami Technology, revealed that its new self-developed operating system is better suited for watches and can better take advantage of the health features present in wearables. The CEO also shared a video of what appears to be a redesigned interface for heart rate measurement.

We do not know if the operating system is still based on RTOS or it is entirely new from scratch. However, one feature we know it will have is a dynamic watch face as seen in the video below courtesy of Digital Chat Station. The Chinese leaker who has had hands-on experience with the new operating system praises the UI and user experience.

More details about its upcoming Huangshan chipset were also revealed. According to Mr. Huang, the new processor, which should launch as the Huangshan 2S, will have an independent GPU. It will be a dual-core chipset based on the RISC-V architecture, and it will not only be more powerful but also have lower power consumption.

How much the Snapdragon Insiders Phone will cost in India and China

The Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders will be sold in a number of key markets including China and India. Ahead of its availability in August, the device has now been listed on the ASUS online store for India and China along with their respective prices.

Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders featured b

The Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders (or Snapdragon Insiders Phone) sold in India and China will have the same specifications as the models sold in other regions, so buyers will also get 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

According to the listings, the phone will sell for ₹111,990 in India which converts to about $1500, the same price the device will go for in the U.S. For those in China, the price tag is ￥9,999 (~$1543). While it is interesting to see that those in India won’t be paying more, the fact is that they will be getting less than the other regions.

For starters, the phone will ship with a slower 30W charger (Qualcomm’s site says it is a 35W charger) compared to the Quick Charge 5 65W charger other regions will be getting. Also, the ASUS store listing doesn’t mention the pair of premium earbuds among the items in the box which means it won’t be included.

The Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders has a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor and packs a 4000mAh battery capacity that can charge at up to 65W. The phone has a 64MP + 13MP + 8MP triple camera setup on the rear and a 24MP camera in front. It also has stereo speakers, Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and dual SIM support. When it starts shipping, it will run a stock version of Android 11 out of the box.

Samsung could reintroduce vapor chamber cooling for the Galaxy S22 lineup

By
Jed John Ikoba
-

A recent report from Taiwan claims that Samsung’s supply chain partners and suppliers are preparing to develop vapor chamber cooling solutions for Samsung’s lineup of smartphones from 2022. Specifically, the vapor chamber cooling solution could be deployed in the Galaxy S22 scheduled for unveiling in 2022.galaxy s21 vs s21 ultra

As smartphones become thinner and lightweight, with lots of internal components and features that ramp up the temperature of the devices while in operation, the need for robust cooling solutions cannot be glossed over. While throttling the smartphone processor is bound to reduce overall temperature, the flipside implies that the device will not operate optimally, performance-wise. Since device overheating is a serious operational challenge for smartphone manufacturers, it is always a priority to evolve solutions to the challenge that will provide smartphone peak performance while also extending battery life.

The vapor chamber cooling solution in smartphones has been deployed previously in some Samsung products like the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20. It seems to be a better cooling solution than the traditional method prevalent in most smartphones. The vacuum chamber approach entails placing a flat vacuum-sealed metal canister dissipating chamber within the smartphone that efficiently transforms the generated heat through a vaporization mechanism. The vapor chamber cooling solution effectively lowers the device temperature faster than a heat sink or even the graphite thermal pad used in some models.

With a more efficient cooling mechanism, you are guaranteed an optimal performance of the smartphone’s chipset even under situations that could ramp up the heat generation like gaming and other processor-intensive applications. Battery life is also optimized with a better cooling mechanism.

There has been no formal indication from Samsung about its plans to reintroduce the vapor chamber cooling solution to its 2022 lineup. So at best, this remains speculation for now.

Additionally, he also shared 360° renders of all color variants of the upcoming Samsung products, namely Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Watch4, Galaxy Watch Active4, and Galaxy Buds2.

Initially, all the above-mentioned products were planned to go official at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. But going by multiple reports, the Galaxy S21 FE will not be presented at this event due to the global semiconductor shortage. The successor to the popular Galaxy S20 FE is now expected to release in October.

That said, as per previous reports, the third-gen foldable smartphones from Samsung will bring huge improvements. The Galaxy Z Fold3, for instance, will not only have under-display cameras but will also support S Pen stylus. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip3 will come in a new dual-tone finish with a larger cover screen.

Further, the Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch Active4 will be the first smartwatches to ship with the new Wear OS. Lastly, the Galaxy Buds2 will be cheaper than the Galaxy Buds Pro, however, it will still offer ANC (Active Noise Cancellation).

OPPO is working on a new A-series phone called the OPPO A16, which is likely to replace last year’s OPPO A15. Reputed tipster Evan Blass leaked the renders of the A16 to reveal its design and color variants. The tipster is back with some fresh renders, some of which confirm some of its key specs.

The new renders give a better look at the black, blue, and beige colors of the OPPO A16. The device sports a teardrop notch display on the front, and its back panel has a triple camera system. While its left edge is fitted with volume buttons, its right edge has a power button, which doubles up as a fingerprint scanner.

The other images show that the OPPO A16 is driven by the Helio G35 chipset and a 5,000mAh battery. Even the Geekbench listing of the phone that was spotted last month had revealed that it has the Helio G35 SoC. The listing had further revealed that it has 4 GB of RAM, and it runs on Android 11 OS, which will be overlaid with ColorOS UI.

The OPPO A16 was spotted at the FCC certification site last month. The listing had revealed that its 5,000mAh battery will support only 10W charging. It further revealed that the device is equipped with connectivity features like dual-band Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and Bluetooth.

A recent leak claimed that the OPPO A16 may get rebranded as the OPPO A37 (2021) in some markets. However, there is no official confirmation on the arrival of the A16/A37 (2021). Probably, the handset will go official later this month. Readers can checkout this Blass’ leak on A16 to view some of its other renders.

The global electric bike market experienced rapid growth during the past year, driven partly by the coronavirus pandemic. The growth trajectory has continued to 2021 and an array of exciting products have been unveiled in the budding market. One of the e-bike variants is folding bikes, which offer compactness in handling an electric bike. These folding e-bikes usually come shorn with all the glamour and beauty you may attach to some of its non-folding variants. Fiido hopes to change the perspective with its latest folding e-bike series – the Fiido X and X Lite.Fiido X e-bike

Fiido has released a comprehensive specification list of its latest folding e-bikes, together with an impressive video detailing the features and performance of the X series folding e-bikes. The new e-bike feature several upgrades and design enhancements from its predecessor, the D11 folding e-bike. As per the video released by Fiido, we see a lady donning the new Fiido e-bike outclassing her opponents in a bike race excellently.Fiido X e-bike

The Fiido X Lite is a lighter version (and less expensive) version of the Fiido X across several components, including battery size, range, top speed, and price. The two models are pedal-assisted with a torque sensor that helps to push the bicycles beyond their stated ranges. They both have Seatpost-integrated batteries and a driving range of 60km/ 130km, respectively.FIIDO X e-bike

The Fiido X has top speeds of 25km/h, at par with most e-bikes across different countries, except in the US, where maximum speeds of 32km/h are allowed on public roads. The magnesium frame both models have embedded folding mechanisms for transforming the bike from a bike to a compact travel companion. The 7-Speed Shimano transmission in both models offers seamless switching of speeds from high to low and vice versa as the situation demands. There are key code locks for the batteries, LED lighting, solid tires, and other safety features.

Some features of the two models are also different, such as the hydraulic disc brake system in the X model compared to the mechanical disc brakes in the lower model.

The two Fiido folding e-bikes will commence pre-sales on July 13, with the X model selling at an extremely low price of $1,099, while the X Lite goes for $899 during the period. Fiido expects to have a successful pre-sale period that could eclipse the $1 million pre-sale performance of its predecessor, the D11 last year.

BATTERY 4500 mAh, fast charging 30W 4250 mAh, fast charging 33W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Dual SIM slot, 5G Dual SIM slot, 5G

Design

From the design point of view, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G offers something more. Despite the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is more compact, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G remains more attractive because it is one of the thinnest and most lightweight phones out there: it is just 6.8 mm thick and weighs just 159 grams. Further, its back cover is original and minimalistic, with a modern camera design. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G has even better build quality: its display is protected by Gorilla Glass 6 and the phone has the IP53 certification which makes it dust resistant and splash resistant.

 

Display

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G sports a better display and it has one of the best displays in the midrange segment. The 6.55-inch panel of this phone is able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution, a pretty high brightness, the HDR10+ certification, and a Full HD+ resolution, as well as the AMOLED technology. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has an AMOLED display too with a 90 Hz refresh rate, but it is not able to reach the number of colors shown by the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G. Both the phones pack an in-display fingerprint reader for authentication.

 

Specs & Software

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G wins the hardware comparison as well, thanks to its Snapdragon 780G mobile platform which is definitely superior to the Snapdragon 750G found on the OnePlus Nord CE 5G. And it is not all: the phone is also equipped with a UFS 2.2 internal storage instead of UFS 2.1. But there is an exception to this for the strongest variant of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G: in this configuration, it offers 12 GB of RAM, while Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G stops at 8 GB. The handsets run Android 11 out of the box with a highly customized user interface.

 

Camera

OnePlus Nord CE 5G and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G are more or less at the same level if we talk about the camera performance. They come with a 64 MP main camera and an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, as well as an additional macro camera (5 MP on the Mi 11 Lite, 2 MP on the Nord CE 5G). They also come with a 16 MP front camera and a 20 MP snapper, respectively. On the paper, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is slightly better.

 

 

Battery

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has a bigger battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh and it wins the battery life comparison as it is able to last more on a single charge. Its rival is able to charge faster thanks to a power of 33W, but the battery capacity is just 4250 mAh.

 

Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is available globally with street prices under €350/$415, while OnePlus Nord CE 5G costs €299/$355 in its base variant. If we exclude the battery life, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is a better phone and it wins this comparison. It sports a better display, it has a thinner and lighter design, and it even comes with the Gorilla Glass 6 protection and the IP53 certification. Further, it is equipped with a more powerful chipset.

Taiwanese tech giant ASUS has confirmed via a tweet by Dinesh Sharma, Business Head, Commercial PC and Smartphone, ASUS India that the sleek Zenfone 8 smartphone will be launched in India soon. The tweet didn’t reveal the exact date the product will be launched but it states that it is coming soon. ASUS Zenfone 8The Zenfone 8 was launched alongside the ZenFone 8 Flip in Europe this year in the month of May. The Zenfone 8 was later launched in the U.S not too long ago. The company hasn’t talked about the India launch until now but ASUS India’s head did disclose that the smartphone will definitely be released in the country. The delay is likely due to the COVID 19 pandemic that gripped India around the period it was launched in Europe.

Considering the court order issued over a trademark dispute about the use of the ‘Zen’ or ‘ZenFone’ moniker, the Zenfone 8 will be launched in India as ASUS 8Z. The device was spotted on Google’s website under the ASUS 8Z moniker.

As a reminder, the Zenfone 8 features a 5.92-inch AMOLED screen with a punch hole at the top left corner and FHD+ resolution. The display has a 120Hz refresh rate, a Pixelworks chip, HDR10+, and is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus. Powering the device is a Snapdragon 888 processor paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

The compact flagship sports a dual-camera setup at the rear of which the main camera is a 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor teaming up with a 12MP ultrawide angle camera that can also shoot macro pictures. For selfies, there is a 12MP Sony IMX363 camera.

The Zenfone 8 packs a 4000mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging. There is an audio jack at the top of the device, stereo speakers, Cirrus Logic amplifiers, and Dirac HD sound technology. The phone also comes with NFC, Wi-Fi 6E, dual SIM support, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Zenfone 8 runs Android 11 out of the box and has an IP68 rating
