A revolutionary remote health monitoring service, called YouCare has just been launched at the ongoing Mobile World Conference (MWC) 2021 holding in Barcelona, Spain. YouCare is based on a new technology that enables excellent health monitoring using a t-shirt with sensors embedded and data transmission via the 5G network. The t-shirt is a washable and reusable textile material and looks like a regular t-shirt.
The YouCare project is conceptualized to develop textile devices that can be used for health monitoring without the use of invasive and uncomfortable metal materials. The t-shirt was wholly developed in Italy, according to the developers, can detect several vital bio-markers in the body and transmit them seamlessly using the 5G network infrastructure provided by Chinese network infrastructure provider ZTE.
At the launch of the project today in Barcelona, ZTE stressed its joy at being part of the team that has produced the revolutionary health service monitoring project. The company underscored again, the tremendous opportunities that could be harnessed using the 5G network. ZTE further reiterated its continued support for the innovative work by the Italian team. The company also says it will initiate the YouCare 5G test soon.
YouCare works by detecting bio-vital health parameters using imperceptible polymeric sensors embedded on the shirt. A miniaturized control records the data, which is then converted to digital format. This data is then sent to a bidirectional platform, which then transmits the data to a smartphone or smartwatch. The data could also be transmitted to a remote unit for analysis.
Several vital health parameters can be detected by the YouCare t-shart. These bio-vital parameters include respiratory act analysis, electrocardiogram, sweat, and muscle activity that could help to identify various health conditions using the textile sensors. The data generated is then sent through 5G infrastructure enabled by ZTE to dedicated centers or individual users. The project could dramatically expand access to healthcare to a wide array of persons and remote monitoring can be really helpful in assisting those with chronic ailments to get a prompt attention on the go. Several stakeholders like the International Red Cross, are excited at the prospects of the project.
The pursuit of textile monitoring technology could hold the key to several innovative breakthroughs like telemedicine, sports, work, and so on. When this technology is then combined with the super-fast 5G network, the opportunities could be very huge. For one thing, unlike the smart wearable devices whose area of contact with the body is only the wrist, the new t-shirt offers a wider surface area for data acquisition.

There are multiple services that send OTP messages to you when you want to carry out a transaction or as a form of authentication when you want to register or log in. These messages clog up the inbox, especially if you don’t delete them immediately. If you use Google Messages, then you won’t have to worry about these messages.
Among the new features that Google will be rolling out to its Messages app in India is the autodeletion of OTP messages after a period – specifically 24 hours. Users will be able to turn on the feature as seen in the gif below and this should help you clear your inbox.
Google has also announced that the app will use machine learning to automatically sort your messages into categories. Messages will now be classified into personal, transactions, OTPs, and offers, making it easier for you to find a particular message.
These new features will begin rolling out to Indian users (Android 8 and up) in the next few weeks in English. Google reiterates that these features are optional and can be turned off under the settings menu in Messages. There is no news yet on when it will be available for other regions.

OPPO phones run a custom version of Android called ColorOS. The current version is ColorOS 11 and OPPO has done a great job rolling out the update to its devices. A new version is expected to be announced later this year and it should arrive as ColorOS 12. According to new info out of China, it will be OPPO’s best yet, thanks to the team developing it.
According to the Weibo user that goes by 菊厂影业Fans, ColorOS 12 combines the best features of other Android skins. The post says that the new OS combines the fluency and design of Meizu’s Flyme, the innovative features of Smartisan OS, and the simplicity of HydrogenOS.
If you are familiar with Chinese Android skins, then you will agree that the aforementioned features and their respective operating systems are indeed true. So how is OPPO able to achieve this? According to the post, ColorOS 12 is being jointly developed by a team made up of the original ColorOS team, Flyme team, Smartisan OS team, and HydrogenOS team.
OPPO recently hired Zhu Haizhou, a former product manager at Smartisan, to join its software development team. We also know that the HydrogenOS team would have been merged with OPPO’s own ColorOS team now that OnePlus is a sub-brand of OPPO. It has also been reported that OPPO has recruited several Smartisan and Meizu employees. So the information revealed by the account checks out.
Reliable Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, also revealed in a post that ColorOS 12, which will be based on Android 12, has some features of HydrogenOS. He also revealed that there are big UI changes and that it has already reached the internal testing phase.
ColorOS 12 is expected to be released in the third quarter of the year. One report even says the date is August 15, though we will advise users to take it with a pinch of salt.
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi yesterday announced that it would be hosting a smart Life conference today (June 29) where a new smart door lock will make its debut. Indeed, Xiaomi has launched the Mi Automatic Door Lock Pro and it is even on pre-order across some e-commerce platforms in China including Xiaomi Youpin. The product carries a price tag of 2099 yuan (~$325) and will start shipping after July 6.

The wider aspect ratio ensures the image recognition camera captures a wider field of view. So that it can recognize a child and an adult without any of them staying out of its FoV. The camera also allows the homeowner to check the state of the entrance hall or to see who’s at the door.
Further, the Mi Automatic Door Lock Pro features a human body sensor that works with an AI humanoid detection algorithm. The algorithm ensures that it can identify the video of people outside the door. The videos can be stored in the cloud for free for 3 days.
In terms of basic functions, the door lock features a multi-dimensional semiconductor fingerprint recognition with a success rate of up to 98.94%. It also supports NFC unlocking with the identification area integrated with the numeric password buttons, giving it a larger area. You also get Bluetooth unlocking, HomeKit unlocking, and others.
Due to the integrated camera, the door lock adopts a dual-battery power system. The door lock uses 8 dry-cell batteries and has a standard battery life of 12 months. On the other hand, the camera system is powered by a rechargeable 5000mAh lithium battery with a battery life of 3 to 5 months. This ensures, your home front is always monitored.

Electric vehicle maker Tesla will remotely update the Autopilot software in about 285,000 of its cars in China to prevent drivers from mistakenly activating the Autopilot feature while driving. This is after the country’s regulatory agency investigated claims that drivers inadvertently switch to Autopilot when driving.
The remote update is understood to affect both cars made locally and those from abroad. The state regulator, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation, believes there are safety concerns if the Autopilot is not firmed up. When the Autopilot turns on accidentally, the vehicle may accelerate rapidly or quickly slow down. Sudden acceleration or slowing down could, in extreme cases, cause a collision.
According to the state regulator, Tesla had already commenced the process of updating the software since Saturday. The bulk of the vehicles affected are the locally produced Model 3 and Model Y models, while more than 35,000 imported Model 3 will also be updated.
Tesla has had several issues relating to safety connected with the Autopilot in its vehicles in recent times. Some fatal collisions have also been recorded both inside China and in the US, among other countries. However, Tesla has continued to pursue greater development of the Autopilot feature, with safety concerns factored into their development.
Tesla has made steady progress in penetrating the Chinese market, which is arguably the largest EV market. Tesla’s China strategy has seen it rapidly invest in building factories in the mainland for its products to remain competitive. The company’s CEO Elon Musk has already hinted that China is its next biggest market after the US. In April, the company said that the US and China accounted for about 70% of its revenue.
Chinese tech giant TCL unveiled a new range of new smartphones in April this year which include the TCL 20 Pro 5G, TCL 20L, TCL 20L+, and TCL 20S. Two of these models – TCL 20 Pro 5G and TCL 20S have now been launched for sale in the US alongside the TCL 20 SE. The 20 SE was announced alongside the TCL 20 5G and MoveAudio TWS earbuds at CES 2021 in January. The company is also promoting the Moveaudio earbuds.
The three smartphone models are now available in the US in a range of color variants via Amazon. TCL’s Moveaudio S600 true wireless earbuds are also available from Amazon at $99.99. The TWS earbud comes in three color variants are available – black, white, and grey.
In terms of the features, the Moveaudio TWS earbuds has active noise cancellation as well as a Transparency mode. TCL’s new earbuds promise to offer an impressive audio experience for users. Music enthusiasts especially enjoy the sound output of the earbuds. The earbuds has Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and also feature smart wear detection playback functionality. Further, it supports Google’s Fast Pair protocol for quick connectivity. They are also IP54-rated for dust, sweat, and water resistance which should enhance the durability of the earbuds significantly.
The TCL 20 Pro 5G, sells at $499.99 in the US and comes in two colors – Moondust Gray and Marine Blue. It bears close semblance with the global version, although the US model has a better 5MP sensor. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 750G chipset with 6GB RAM and 256GB of internal memory.
The features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a curved glass design. It equally packs a quad-camera setup. The US version of the 20 Pro 5G will come with Android 11 and TCL’s in-house user interface.
The TCL 20S, like the 20 Pro 5G, packs a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen which is less trendy than that of the 20 Pro 5G. It has 4GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage.
The TCL 20 SE is the lowest-priced at $189 among the three models. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 460 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. This model features a 6.82-inch LCD display and a U-notch containing a 13 MP camera. The TCL 20 SE also boasts of a quad-camera setup similar to the 20S.
Buyers who purchase the premium TCL 20 Pro 5G till July 5 using the code TCL20BOGO1 on Amazon will get free MoveAudio earbuds.

It’s been a while since ZTE launched its flagship phone, the AXON 30 Ultra. I’m sure you guys are just as curious as us to see how good the high-end phone from ZTE really is. With that in mind, let’s take a look at how it performs.
Axon 30 Ultra Review: Design & Display
When I first saw this phone, I really liked it. It has a square appearance, with the top and bottom cut flat, and the camera module is rectangular but has some details. With the dark gray frosted glass, the whole shape is very calm and elegant.
This shape reminds me of Samsung’s Note series, but considering that Samsung may not launch a new Note model this year, the AXON 30 Ultra may be one of the most square phones you can buy this year. The camera is color-coated and reflects colorful shades when exposed to light.
The 188g weight makes it one of the lightest flagship phones from any brand this year. Honestly, I really like the look and the lightweight feel of the device, but it is not without drawbacks. The bezel is quite prominent, and it can be a bit uncomfortable to hold it for long periods of time. Other than that, I’m very happy with the design.
The AXON 30 Ultra 5G features a 144Hz refresh rate, FHD+, 10bit color depth support screen. The hole punch is in the middle of the screen. Although the screen has no screen protector, the oleophobic layer of the screen is sufficient, so it is very smooth to operate. The upper and lower bezel is almost equal in width, but it is not on the same plane as the screen, so it cuts your hand when sliding. Although the supplier of the screen is not Samsung, it still uses diamond-like pixels.
The fingerprint recognition area is situated a bit higher than usual, and it is more comfortable when unlocking. In short, AXON 30 Ultra’s screen is average for a flagship, not particularly outstanding to wow people, but it has no obvious shortcomings for users to complain about.
Axon 30 Ultra Review: Hardware & Gaming
Since it is called the Ultra, the phone naturally features top-end hardware like the Snapdragon 888, UFS 3.1, and LPDDR5.
In the AnTuTu Benchmark, the phone scored 790011, while in 3D MARK it scored 5857. The Geekbench 5 scores were 1125 for single-core and 3575 for multi-core. The Benchmark scores are the usual level for flagship phones.
Next, let’s take a look at the gaming performance. The frame rate curve of PUBG is very smooth, which means that the most basic cooling measures are implemented without any problems. The Axon 30 Ultra uses a 2880mm2 liquid cooling plate, which seems to have made a significant difference in the extreme gaming tests.
Genshin Impact’s frame rate curve is not as stable as PUBG’s, but the average frame rate of 52fps and the absence of sudden and significant frame rate drops make for a good gaming experience. Brightridge’s gaming performance is also similar to Genshin Impact.
Of course, it has the same shortcomings as the other Snapdragon 888 phones — the phone heats up quite a bit. But since ZTE has chosen to unleash full performance, a temperature increase is inevitable.
Axon 30 Ultra Review: Camera Performance
The camera system of AXON 30 Ultra is very interesting, three of the four lenses are all main camera level lenses. They are 64MP main camera, 64MP portrait lens, 64MP ultra-wide lens. The last one is an 8MP 5x telephoto lens.
Main Camera
The main camera, even with the AI tuning, is not too gaudy, HDR is moderately strong, the details are plentiful, the white balance is stable, and the finished photo style is of the type that is stable, without mistakes. At night, AXON 30 Ultra’s auto mode is not integrated with any night mode algorithm, so you can see that the auto mode photos are faithfully restored to what the naked eye sees, and the dynamic range of the photos is relatively small. However, once the night mode is turned on, all aspects of the photos are improved tremendously. The noise is also less while retaining details, which already belong to the first tier level of flagship phones.
Ultra-Wide Camera
The ultra-wide camera has basically the same tuning as the main camera. However, because the hardware is weaker than the main camera, the exposure in low lighting scenes is also a bit darker and there will be more noise.
Portrait Lens
The AXON 30 Ultra’s portrait lens is not the same kind that other phones use to assist with bokeh, rather it is called a portrait lens because it is close to the equivalent 35mm focal length. However, to take 35mm equivalent photos, you need to manually slide the adjustment to 1.3x or switch to portrait mode to achieve it, the default mode gives you a 2x zoom button. The bokeh algorithm is not very effective if the portrait mode is not a human subject, so generally, I use this lens as a 2x telephoto. This lens works very well at 2x zoom, and the results at night are not bad. In addition to the noise limited by the hardware, exposure has been at par with the main camera.
Telephoto Lens
The last 5x telephoto lens performs well in the daytime. But at night, when the lighting goes down, the image may turn out to be blurred. Plus, it doesn’t have night mode, so it’s better to avoid using it if the light is too low.
I think the advantage of the AXON 30 Ultra’s image system is that it has a full range of focal lengths, so you can choose the right focal length to compose a picture, no matter how close or far. This is very friendly for photography enthusiasts.
Video
Because all three lenses are at the main camera level, except for the 5x telephoto, they are all able to record 4K 60fps video. The main camera can support up to 8K 30fps video and can also record HDR video. 5x telephoto intelligently records up to 1080p 60fps video. With strong image stabilization, it is a phone with very good video recording features.
AXON 30 Ultra’s new pre-installed system, MyOS 11, is also a change from the previous design, the UI and icons have become more youthful and vibrant, and the animations are smooth. If you’ve used the global version of MIUI or other Chinese branded custom Android OS, MyOS is very similar to them. But unfortunately, the global version of MyOS 11 is less functional than the Chinese version, for example, the streamlined desktop on the Chinese version is not present on the global version, which is a pity.
Axon 30 Ultra Review: Battery Life
AXON 30 Ultra supports up to 65w of charging power. The charger is included in the box, and it is worth mentioning that the charging interface is Type-C and the charging cable sent is also USB-C to C. The charger is very small and supports PPS. And this 65w charger is very small and supports PPS, which is considered to be a better overall quality of the charger that comes with the box.
Charging speed is okay, 10 minutes gets you to 28%, 30 minutes up to 64%, and 52 minutes to fully charge the device. So it looks like the charging tech doesn’t use trickle charge. However, it is rather unfortunate that the flagship is not equipped with wireless charging.
Although it is only 188g, ZTE still stuffed a 4600mAh battery. In the real-life battery test, the phone consumed 5% for half an hour of TikTok, 4% for half an hour of online video, 9% for one game of PUBG, 22% and 12% for half an hour of Genshin Impact, and 20 minutes of Brightridge, respectively. So, the battery life is also at a moderate level.
Axon 30 Ultra Review: Verdict
The AXON 30 Ultra is undoubtedly a very well-balanced flagship phone that has almost no particular shortcomings. But if you look at it the other way, it doesn’t have any obvious strengths either. Perhaps the squarish design, the dominant appearance, and the complete range of focal lengths are its more prominent highlights.
But would you buy this phone for these two strengths? Let us know in the comments section down below.
The Indian state of Gujarat is implementing an Electric Vehicle policy that aims to provide incentives for renewable energy solutions to the transportation challenges in the state. It will see the state government paying Rs 10,000 per kWh as Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to electric bike customers for every unit that they purchase in the state. The policy takes effect from July 1 and could kickstart a rush for two-wheeler electric vehicles in the state of Gujarat.
One company that is hoping to benefit from this policy is Revolt bike which opened shop in the state in 2020. With the Revolt bike having a battery capacity of up to 3.2 kWh, each customer could get above Rs 20,000 when purchasing the electric bike. The Gujarat state EV policy also follows some extensive incentives programs by the national government to engender clean and greener solutions to the transportation challenge. The Central government’s program could also yield up to Rs 15,000 per kWh for the electric vehicle manufacturer. Therefore, a combination of these incentives has made it possible for buyers of Revolt electric bikes in Gujarat to save up to Rs 68,000 for their purchase of the e-bikes.
As could be expected, the incentives regime is bound to drive demand for the bikes to the ceiling, and Revolt is taking steps to ensure that it meets the increased demand expected for the product. With several sales dealership networks slated for opening across the state, Revolt will hope to tap maximum benefit from the new EV policy. In addition, prices for the bikes are bound to go down because of the new subsidy regime. This could lead to more affordable vehicles for a greater segment of the population.
Other states have also begun a similar policy to encourage renewable energy solutions to the country’s transportation problem.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series has been generating much hype, especially concerning the design. Recently, we saw a set of cool renders of the Galaxy S22 designed by talented designer, Technizo Concept in conjunction with LetsGoDigital. The prolific designer has now unveiled another set of custom renders, this time for the premium Galaxy S22 Ultra giving us an idea of what to expect onboard Samsung’s next flagship.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Concept
The Galaxy S22 Ultra will likely come with an expanded S Pen functionality, with talk of a new S Pen feature with Bluetooth support. No major changes are expected in the screen size of the S22 Ultra, and some tipsters have predicted that it will sport a 6.81-inch, QHD+ display, same with the S21 Ultra. The renders also reveal that the S21 Ultra will have a rounded screen with a glass back panel. The LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) screen technology will also be deployed for the S22 Ultra, with an adaptive and efficient display refresh rate.
There are also indications that the S22 Ultra will have lots of features that point to it being used as a gaming smartphone. It could have the Adaptive Heat Fan to curb overheating widely reported by some users of the S21 Ultra, together with support for ray-tracing and variable rate shading. Together with the new AMD-collaborated Exynos 2200 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets, these features pack sufficient power and capabilities into the device. The S22 Ultra will also come with Android 12, which Google could release in October 2021.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will also sport an impressive camera setup, with the possibility of an under-display selfie camera included. A RAM of 16GB with internal memory up to 1TB is predicted for the S22 Ultra. As we inch towards January 2022, we are bound to get more details relating to the flagship model before its eventual release.
Huawei has just recently published a new patent, which was related to the control system of autonomous vehicles. While smart cars with self driving technology are already available, the company seeks to improve the overall driving and travel experience.
According to the patent titled “Smart Car Control Method, Device and Control System,” the Chinese tech giant is working on a smart car control system that could improve the autonomous technology behind self driving cars. As per an ITHomereport, the patent also describes a system for controlling smart cars, which is capable of improving the comfort for passengers as well as the driving experience of the self driving smart car.
This system would control the smart car’s driving mode, its driving style, to reach the speed of the vehicle at an optimal level. Once it reaches this optimal speed, it would also shift the driving mode to maintain it. In simpler terms, it would effectively work in real time to make the experience smooth and comfortable for the passengers riding in the vehicle, including the one behind the wheel.
Unfortunately, this is still a patent at the moment so finer details regarding this smart control system are currently unknown. Furthermore, it is also unclear if the smartphone maker is actually working on such a product or is just covering all bases. So stay tuned as we will be providing updates when additional information or any notable development surfaces regarding this technology.
