Jun 14, 2021

Chinese electronics manufacturer Anker has launched a wireless charger specially designed for the Apple Watch series. The wireless charger adopts an in-line design and a Type-C interface and is very portable. Like the OEM Apple Watch charger, the Anker wireless charger has a magnetic function for easy fixation. The cable-free design is convenient for storage, as well as for use on the road or outdoors.

Anker’s Apple Watch In-line wireless charger has gotten Apple’s MFi certification which ensures it is compatible with the intended product and the charging rating is on par with the original Apple Watch charger. For the avoidance of doubt, the wireless charger is compatible with all six generations of the Apple Watch series from the Watch Series 1 to the Watch Series 6.

The Apple Watch In-line Wireless Charger from Anker is said to deliver up to 2.5W charging and can fully charge the Apple Watch in about 1.5 hours. The Type-C interface can be connected to an iPad Pro tablet or a power bank.

The product is light in weight, weighing in at just 23g. As stated earlier, it is suitable for charging all present Apple Watch models. It carries a decent price tag of 199 yuan (~$31) and is presently listed on Jingdong (JD.com) in China. The product is expected to go on sale on July 16.

Recall that Anker recently launched the Life P3 Earbuds that is compatible with Apple’s Siri voice assistant. The earbuds also bring several top-notch features and are presently on sale in the UK. We may also see this new product launched for the global market soon.

Microsoft reveals Windows 10 support will end Oct. 2025, new proof Windows 11 is coming

Jun 14, 2021

Microsoft has scheduled June 24 as the date for the unveiling of a new version of Windows. While it didn’t officially reveal what the new version will be called, there are speculations it will launch as Windows 11. Now, an updated support page for Windows 10 lends credence to those speculations.

A support life cycle page for Windows 10 that was recently updated has revealed that support for the operating system will end on October 14, 2025. That is about 3 months after its 10th anniversary. It has been reported that the support page mentions Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro (including Pro Education and Pro for Workstations).

This new development has led to the belief that the new version of Windows that will be unveiled next week will definitely not launch as Windows 10. While the name is still unconfirmed, Microsoft is expected to continue the numerical naming scheme, so Windows 11 seems logical.

The new version of Windows should come with changes in the user interface as well as lots of new features, some of which were expected to launch with the now-canceled Windows 10X.

Piaggio One e-scooter series can hit a top speed of 60km/h & 100km range

Jun 14, 2021

Italian electric scooter manufacturer Piaggio has unveiled its next-generation electric scooters at the Beijing Motor Show. The Piaggio One series is made up of the Piaggio One, One+, and One Active, each having different battery sizes and ranges.

The new Piaggio One electric scooter series is a follow-up of the company’s Vespa Electrica scooters. The three models in the series are mainly targeted at a more urban and younger audience. Piaggio did reduce the entry cost of these scooters with a lower power design since it is aimed to be used in urban centers.

Of the three models, the Piaggio One is the entry-level model. It is powered by a 1.2 kW electric motor, with a top speed of just 45 km/h (28 mph). Under the moped laws of most countries, the riders will not need a motorcycle license to use the scooter. It comes with a 48V and 25Ah unit battery with 1.200 Wh capacity, which according to the company can run for 55 km or 34 miles.

On its part, the Piaggio One+ is also powered with a 1.2 kW electric motor with the same top speed as the Piaggio One. However, the battery is bumped up to a 2,300 Wh capacity. With this boost, it can go a distance of about 100 km or 62 miles.

Meanwhile, riders that desire a faster scooter can go for the Piaggio ONE Active. It is powered by a more powerful 2 kW motor, which enables the scooter to reach a top speed of 60 km/h or 36 mph. Although the scooter is equipped with a more powerful motor, the battery is 2,300 Wh capacity, the same as the Piaggio ONE+. Thus, the scooter has a maximum range of 85 km or 53 miles.

The charging time of all the scooters according to Piaggio is six hours, with removable batteries that can be charged remotely. The company has teamed up with a consortium that designs removable batteries, with the intent to have a standard scooter and electric motorcycle batteries, but no new battery design has been disclosed by Piaggio. It is still not clear if the Piaggio ONE series batteries are made with the new standards.

The new Piaggio ONE scooters will first be available in China with a price tag of 17,800 RMB (~$2,785).

The ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor is targeted at gamers

A gaming Chromebook? Yes, that is what ASUS is touting its new Chromebook Flip CM5. The new notebook, powered by AMD’s Ryzen 5 chipset, is targeted at gamers – specifically those interested in cloud-based gaming.

Priced at $499, the ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 has a 15.6-inch IPS 1080p touch screen with 250 nits of brightness and a 178° viewing angle. The screen can be bent backward, so you can use the device as a tablet or in tent mode and there is support for a USI stylus that has to be purchased separately. The ergolift hinge also lifts the keyboard for a more comfortable typing experience when in laptop mode.

The Ryzen 5 3500C processor is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of PCIe M.2 SSD storage. There is also a 4GB RAM version with an AMD Ryzen 3 3250C processor and 64GB of eMMC storage. While those specs are not quite gaming specs, they will suffice if you are streaming games from platforms such as Stadia and GeForce Now, two services the device supports.

ASUS has added some gaming aesthetics such as giving the WASD keys, power button, and volume rocker an orange accent; including a Harman Kardon audio system, and a Wi-Fi stabilizer technology that filters out interference. The chiclet keyboard is backlit but there is no mention of it being RGB which would have been a nice addition.

The Chromebook has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, an HD camera, and a battery life that goes up to 10 hours. For ports, you get 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports for display and power delivery, 1x HDMI 1.4 port, an audio jack, and a MicroSD card reader. The spec sheet also mentions that it has a Titan C Security Chip.

The laptop is already available in the US for $499.99 but that is for the 4GB RAM version with 64GB of storage.

Tipster reveals Chinese OEMs are already testing the Snapdragon 888 successor

Jun 14, 2021

Earlier this month, a couple of leaks surrounding what is said to be the successor of Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 888 chipset. The chipset codenamed SM8450 is said to be built on a 4nm process and is expected to power next-generation flagship phones.

The SM8450 has now appeared in the rumor mill again. Noted Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the upcoming 4nm Qualcomm chipset is already being sampled by many of the top Chinese phone manufacturers who may likely release models powered by the next-gen Qualcomm flagship. The tipster also disclosed that the enhancement on the upcoming chipset may be more than on last year’s Snapdragon 865 and SD 865+.

We can’t say how fast that can be for now but the earlier leak tips the chipset to feature Qualcomm’s new ARMv9 chip architecture with Kryo 780 cores. The chipset also features an Adreno 730 GPU, Adreno 665 Video Processing Unit (VPU), and Adreno 1195 Display Processing Unit (DPU). The chipset will also integrate a Spectra 680 ISP for image processing.

Further, the Snapdragon 888 successor will also feature a Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF system. The 5G modem was first announced in February this year and brings superior speed and support for up to 10Gbps speeds on both standalone and non-standalone 5G networks. The upcoming processor also brings a FastConnect 6900 chip that provides support for Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

Qualcomm is expected to announce the Snapdragon 888 successor in the second half of the year.

ZTE reveals “1+2+3” strategy based on chips, algorithms, and architecture for its 5G business

Jun 14, 2021

ZTE is one of the leading companies when it comes to telecom networking equipment and with increased restrictions from the United States, the company is now looking to update its strategy for doing business.

Today, the Chinese tech company has proposed a new “1+2+3” strategy for its 5G technology and has also announced the world’s first commercial pilot of a wireless intelligence orchestration network and a 5G industry networking solution.

Bai Gang, Vice President of ZTE says that chips, algorithms, and architecture forms foundation of the technology and adds that the company will continue to iterate and innovate in three aspects — capability, performance, and efficiency.

Further, the company’s Senior Vice President Zhang Wanchun pointed out that in the past year, the 5G technology has benefited several industries and the current 5G applications have demonstrated significant economic and social value. He adds that in the future, the development of 5G techonology should be such that it adds value.

Additionally, the company has also released the “5G Industry Cloud Network Soliution” with China Telecom and the “5G Voice Network New Architecture” with China Mobile.

Beats Studio Buds launched with fewer Apple features but better Android support for $150

By

Jun 14, 2021

Apple has announced its latest pair of TWS earbuds under the Beats brand. The Beats Studio Buds as they are called are vastly different from the 2019 Beats Powerbeats Pro in terms of design and features. They are also significantly cheaper and can be said to even support Android devices better than any of Apple’s other offerings.

The Beats Studio Buds feature a stem-less design, unlike Apple’s AirPods. They also ditch the hook-like design of the Powerbeats Pro which means they are smaller in form factor. Available in Black, Red, and White, and weighing 5 grams each, the earbuds will be easily recognizable by the famous Beats “b” logo in white on each earbud.

According to the product page, the earbuds use a proprietary layered driver with a dual-chamber acoustic design for clear sound and an effective Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) performance.

Like a number of earbuds with ANC, these also have a Transparency Mode that allows you to hear the world around you. It does this with the help of external-facing microphones that pick up the sounds of your surroundings.

The Beats Studio Buds don’t feature an Apple chip which is surprising but you still get features such as hands-free Hey Siri, a pairing interface similar to AirPods, and integration in the Control Center.

According to The Verge, the lack of an Apple chip means that you don’t get features such as automatic pairing across Apple devices on your iCloud account, audio sharing, and the ability to automatically switch between the devices in use such as from your iPhone to iPad or Mac. However, you do get support for Apple Music’s new Dolby Atmos spatial audio.

While the earbuds lack features associated with Apple earbuds, it does work pretty well with Android devices. They support Fast pair which means they are linked to your Google Account after the first setup and don’t need to be paired to other devices tied to that Google account. They will also display their battery status as well as that of the case under Bluetooth settings. Another feature is support for Find Device which lets you find the device or check its last known location. The product page says you will also be able to update the firmware with the Beats app for Android.

The Beats Studio Buds has an IPX4 rating for sweat and water resistance. The earbuds have on-device controls that allow you to control playback, answer/reject calls, turn on ANC or transparency mode, or call up the assistant.

The earbuds offer a battery life of 8 hours on a single charge that goes up to 24 hours with the case. They also support fast charging – a 5-minute charge will provide up to 1 hour of playback.

The case of the Beats Studio Buds, which weighs 48 grams, charges via a USB-C port (no wireless charging support). It comes with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable and three pairs of ear tips of different sizes.

If you want the new earbuds, they are listed on Amazon US and Best Buy but are not yet available for purchase until June 24. It has also been announced in China for ¥1099 (~$172) and it will be available starting July 2.

Galaxy S21 FE production is still not suspended: Samsung

By

Jun 14, 2021

The media was awash recently with news that Korean tech giant Samsung had halted plans to mass-produce the much-anticipated Galaxy S21 FE due to a chip shortage. Samsung has now responded to the report, stating it has not made a decision on whether to stop production of the Galaxy S21 FE.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE render by Steve Hemmerstoffer

In a statement sent to Bloomberg, the company said: “Although we cannot discuss the details of the unreleased products, the so-called suspension of production has not yet been determined.”

The news of Samsung halting product of the expected phone was first carried by Korean blog ETNews and was hinged on the prevailing shortages being encountered in the semiconductor industry. The report also asserted that the Qualcomm processors set aside for the S21 FE had been reassigned to foldable devices scheduled for launch in August. The report has since been deleted, ostensibly due to Samsung’s response.

The Galaxy S21 FE is considered a trimmed-down version of the vanilla Galaxy S21, with no significant reduction in functions and a more affordable price. The new version will take over from the Galaxy S20 FE which was released last year. The FE stands for Fans Edition which is reflected in the premium build and affordable pricing for which the series is known since its inception.

Despite Samsung’s debunking of the report of production being suspended, the company didn’t outrightly affirm that production is still going on. Thus, it may take some time before the actual state of things is known. The Galaxy S20 FE wasn’t announced until September last year and it went on sale in October. We expect the Galaxy S21 FE release schedule to be around that same time.

Amazon made its entry into the game streaming service market last year with the launch of Luna. Up until now, the service has been available only to a limited number of users who have to request early access. That changes as Luna will be open to all Prime members next week for a limited time.

Luna will be available to Prime subscribers on June 21 and June 22 and they will be able to play free for 7 days according to Amazon. After the 7-day period, users will have to pay $5.99 per month to continue to enjoy the service. Luna is still only available in the US.

It has also been reported that the Luna Controller, which launched alongside the game streaming service last year for $49.99, has been discounted by 30%. This brings the price down to $34.99.

The controller connects via the cloud to the streaming service which reduces roundtrip latency by 17 to 30 ms compared to a local Bluetooth connection. It is compatible with Windows PC, Mac, Fire TV, iPhones, iPads, and select Android phones. The Luna Controller can also be connected via Bluetooth to the aforementioned devices to use as a controller to play other games outside Luna and it doubles as a remote control for the Fire TV.

If you don’t want to purchase the controller, Luna also works with the PS4’s DualShock 4 controller, the Xbox One’s controller, the Razer Kishi, and a keyboard + mouse.

Luna has its own games which include Control, GRID, Ghost Runner, and Metro Exodus. If you want more games, you can subscribe to the Ubisoft+ channel beta which grants you access to a library of Ubisoft games including big titles such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watchdog Legion. The Verge also reports that Amazon has knocked $40 off a Fire TV Stick 4K + Luna Controller bundle.

Qualcomm seeks to invest in Arm if the $40 billion NVIDIA deal fails

Jun 14, 2021

Qualcomm has recently stated that it is ready to invest in Arm if the 40 billion US Dollars NVIDIA deal fails. This statement arrives as the takeover of the British chipmaker might be blocked by regulators.

According to a Telegraph report, the US Chipmaking giant’s chief executive Cristiano Amon said that Qualcomm would be ready to buy stake in Arm along with other industry players. At the moment, the NVIDIA deal to acquire Arm is currently under investigation by the UK Competition and Markets Authority. Similarly, concerns have also risen from other nations like the US and Japan, with Arm being under the ownership of Japan’s Softbank Group.

Amon stated that “If it moves out of Softbank and it goes into a process of becoming a publicly traded company, [with] a consortium of companies that invest, including many of its customers, I think those are great possibilities. We will definitely be open to it, and we have had discussions with other companies that feel the same way.” These other companies reportedly includes the likes of E-retailing giant Amazon, and even electric car maker Tesla.

Furthermore, the multi billion US Dollar from NVIDIA has been under scrutiny from various rival firms and regulators. Previously, we had also reported on Google and Microsoft raising their own concerns, citing that the takeover could potentially hamper competition in the market. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available or any notable developments surface in the future.

Apple has registered strong sales in the first quarter of this year in India. The company recorded its best quarterly sales of laptops and tablets in the region, as per a new report.

According to a Canalys report (Via QuartzIndia), the Cupertino based giant saw a great sales in the first three months of this year. The report revealed that the company’s overall PC sales reached 208 million units, which is a figure nearly double that of the sale period from a year prior. Canalys added that the iPhone maker’s growth in India was “largely aided by the availability of its official online store.”

For those unaware, the company officially launched its official online store in the country in the second half of last year. This launch was labelled as apt and timely by certain experts and the brand’s CEO Tim Cook credited the online store for the company’s robust iPhone sales in India last year. Although, keep in mind that the growth recorded by various OEMs isn’t just due to a strong performance in 2021, but rather a slump that was faced back in 2020.

Despite the supply chain for various vendors being crippled in mid 2020, the overall PC sales in India, including tablets, surged by 72 percent year on year. This figure reached 4 million units between the period of January and March 2021. The market saw a growth due to the growing trend of working from home and online education becoming more common. But Apple did state that its MacBook and iPad production are currently facing delays due to the world facing a major shortage of semiconductors.
