Man uses a magnetic fishing rod to pull out iPhone 12 Pro from a canal, thanks to MagSafe

By
Jed John Ikoba

A Berlin resident used an improvised fishing line attached to a strong magnetic material to successfully find and retrieve his friend’s iPhone 12 Pro that fell into a muddy canal. The magnetic fishing rod was able to attract the phone thanks to MagSafe, a strong ring of magnets that is built into the back around the wireless charging coil on the iPhone 12 series.

Apple had designed the MagSafe to attach MagSafe accessories like wireless chargers, but the smart Berliner put it to impressive use. App developer Frederik Riedel tweeted the story via his Twitter handle. According to Riedel, his friend inadvertently dropped his iPhone 12 Pro on a 3-foot deep muddy canal and groped through the mud without any success in search of the phone.

However, they then created the innovative solution by improvising a magnetic material to attach to a fishing rod. The improvised magnetic fishing rod was then plunged into the canal, searching for the submerged iPhone. Obviously, the device was stuck in the mud, but the taut line created by the magnetic fishing rod upon contact with the iPhone made it possible for the man to successfully extricate the iPhone 12 Pro from the bottom of the muddy canal.

The iPhone was still working, and the battery was still virtually full even after spending several hours in such an extreme state. The incident further proves that the iPhone 12 Pro has strong water resistance capabilities. The excellent working condition of the retrieved device is clear evidence of the rugged credentials of the iPhone 12 Pro.

Stories of this sort are boosters to Apple to continue to raise the bar in terms of quality, durability, ruggedness, and adaptability of its iPhone lineup.

Tomorrow, Huawei will be taking off covers from its first devices that will come preloaded with the HarmonyOS. A new MatePad tablet and the Watch 3 smartwatch are expected to arrive with HarmonyOS preinstalled. Fresh leaks have revealed the key specifications of the upcoming MatePad Pro 10.8.

As per a new Weibo post by famous tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Huawei tablet could be called the MatePad Pro 10.8. Another source has revealed the specs sheet of the device. The new leaks reveal that the tablet measures 246 x 159 x 7.2mm and weighs 460 grams.

A leaked shot of the upcoming MatePad Pro

The tablet features a 10.8-inch IPS LCD panel that offers a 2560 x 1600 pixels resolution, a DCI-P3 color gamut, 540 nits brightness, and a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. It is expected to hit the Chinese markets in 128 GB and 256 GB storage choices.

It Is backed by a 7,250mAh battery that promises a video playback time of 11 hours. The rear side of the tablet is likely a 13-megapixel camera, and its front could be fitted with a 5-megapixel snapper. The other features that are mentioned in the specs sheet include M-Pencil support, HarmonyOS 2, USB-C, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi 6, and GPS. It is expected to arrive in colors like Night Grey, Fritillaria White, and Green.

The specifications of the new MatePad Pro are not too different from the MatePad Pro that debuted in November 2019. The only noticeable changes are the inclusion of the HarmonyOS 2 and Snapdragon 870 instead of the Kirin 990 chip. The other specifications seem to be the same on both devices. The new leak has no information on the pricing of the MatePad Pro 10.8. Apart from the 10.8 model, the Chinese manufacturer is also expected to announce a 12.6-inch tablet with Kirin 9000 series chip tomorrow.

Honor 50 series smartphones confirmed to launch on June 16 in China

By
Jeet
-

Honor, the smartphone maker which went independent earlier this year, has confirmed that its upcoming device, the Honor 50 series, will be officially launched in China on 16th June.

Earlier, the company had confirmed that the Honor 50 will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. We expect the Pro variant of the smartphone to pack the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset.

Honor 50 Launch Date Teaser

The smartphone brand has also received permission to start using Google Mobile Services on its devices and a recent tweet by Honor Germany confirmed that the Honor 50 series will have support for GMS, paving way for the global debut of the device.

Based on the leaks so far, it appears that the phone features a large pill-shaped camera module in the top-left corner that holds two large circles. The top circle packs a single camera sensor — the primary one while the bottom circle has a periscope zoom lens and a third camera sensor.

HONOR 50

As per the leaks, the smartphone will be made available in three color options — Yellow, Blue, and Purple. There could be a few more colors but we will know about it when the phones go official. The Honor branding on the back is also much smaller than its predecessors.

Soon after splitting from Huawei, Honor started talks with other companies and suppliers as it could source components from companies that were banned to do so when Honor was a part of Huawei. The company has received a nod to do business with Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, Google, and more, which is still not possible for Huawei due to the U.S. sanctions.

Google continued to access users’ locations even after location sharing was turned off: Court Docs

By
Jed John Ikoba

Unedited court documents in a lawsuit involving Google have alleged that the tech giant reportedly knew that it was difficult for smartphone users to keep location information private. The search giant’s seeming deliberate privacy breach, the court documents further revealed, was common knowledge to Google’s top executives and engineers. Google continued to collect users’ location data even after they had turned off location sharing on their devices.Google Logo Featured

Another accusation is that the company specifically made privacy settings difficult to find. Furthermore, Google was alleged to have also pressured phone manufacturers to hide privacy settings because users regularly activated the settings.

The lawsuit was filed by the US state of Arizona against Google, alleging that the company secretly breached user privacy by illegally tracking Android users’ location without their consent. The Arizona State Attorney General, Mark Brnovich filed the lawsuit in 2020 on behalf of the state. It also alleged that Google kept the location tracking feature running in the background for some features on their Android devices even after users had disabled it.

Among the reliefs sought by Brnovich is for the court to force Google to pay back profits accruable to it from monetizing the collected privacy data through ads that were served on Arizona residents. If found guilty, Google may also be subjected to Arizona fraud laws that stipulate up to $10,000 in fines for each violation.

The Arizona lawsuit is yet another of the company’s legal tangles it continues to grapple with in recent years. Google, however, is accusing the Arizona Attorney General and its competitors of trying to mischaracterize its services. Google’s spokesperson Jose Castaneda insists that the company had always built privacy features into its products and provided robust controls for location data. The company hopes the present case will help it to set the records straight on the accusations leveled against it.

Xiaomi Mi Band 6 fitness tracker’s global shipments cross 3 million mark

About a month ago, Lei Jun, Founder and CEO of Xiaomi had announced that the shipments of Mi Band 6 has crossed the mark of one million units. Now, Zeng Xuezhong, Vice President of Xiaomi Group and President of Mobile Phone Division has posted on Weibo that the total global shipments of Mi Band 6 have exceeded three million units.

Xiaomi Mi Band 6 3 Million Shipments

For the uninitiated, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 is the latest version of the wearable fitness tracker from the Chinese giant launched in March this year. It comes in two variants, a standard model without NFC support and another with NFC support.

While the Mi Band 6 was announced in March, the device went on sale in China from 2nd April and in less than a month, overall sales of the wearable crossed 1 million. Now, in about two months, the sales have crossed the 3 million mark globally.

The standard version is priced at 229 yuan which is approximately $36 while the NFC variant costs 279 yuan which roughly converts to $44.

The Mi Band 6 features a 1.56 inch AMOLED color display which amounts to a 50 percent increase in the display area and offers 326PPI. Xiaomi ditched the physical touch button and has introduced support for gestures.

It is capable of tracking the blood oxygen levels along with being capable of monitoring heart rate and users’ sleep as well. Furthermore, the fitness tracker also features other health and sports tracking features, including 30 sports modes with support for tracking running, cycling, walking, and many more.

There are six auto-detect exercise modes, 24×7 heart rate monitoring (PPG), and SpO2 (Blood Oxygen measurement). The device is rated 5ATM for water resistance and is powered by a 125mAh LiPo battery with up to 14 days of battery life.

Fitbit may soon add Snoring detection to its smart wearables

By
Jed John Ikoba
-

The Fitbit lineup of smart wearable devices will soon have a snoring detection feature added to them. There will also include an enhanced noise detection mechanism that will generate data on sound activity around the device’s wearer even while asleep.

Snoring is one sleep activity that could disrupt sleep for persons in the same room as the snorer. The snorer is unaware of the sounds emanating from his/ her nostrils while asleep and may even contest the claim of snoring. However, the new Fitbit feature is bound to provide strong evidence that there is a snoring activity in the room.

Of course, the device would be unable to identify whether the snorer is the one wearing the Fitbit device or not. The feature is currently available on the Fitbit app on Google’s Play Store. The snoring detection feature works by using the Fitbit device microphone to listen to ambient noise, including snoring picked up within the microphone range. The feature is bound to be a considerable drain on the device’s battery, and the utility of the snoring data collected all night looks unimportant.

Fitbit advises that users who want to use the feature must have up to 40% of battery life left in their devices. The Snore and Noise Detect feature, as it is called, will be able to identify whether the noise it is picking is snoring-related or not. The presence of white noise during the sleep period could hamper the operation of the snoring tracker, and the release notes specify that such white noise should be eliminated for optimal performance of the feature.

As stated earlier, there is little that could be done to the snoring data that will be generated by the new snoring detection feature on Fitbit. However, we could expect additional illumination from Fitbit soon.

Early this year, ByteDance announced it was shutting down Smartisan, the Chinese smartphone brand. The last phone announced by the company is the Smartisan Nut R2, and if you don’t mind buying a phone from a brand that no longer exists, then it should excite you to know that the 2020 flagship will be on sale for the 618 festival.

A Weibo post by the official Smartisan account has revealed that the Nut R2 will be discounted by as much as ¥800 (~$125) starting tomorrow. There is also a free 65W GaN charger, a 30-day worry-free return, and a 12-month warranty.

Smartisan Nut R2 promo

Starting tomorrow, interested buyers will be able to grab the phone on the official Smartisan store on JD.com. The promotion runs until June 3. Below are the discounted prices for each available configuration:

  • 8GB RAM + 256GB (Black) = ¥2499 (~$392)
  • 8GB RAM + 256GB (Green) = ¥2499 (~$408)

Leaked Moto G Stylus 5G press render show all angles

Motorola already announced a Moto G Stylus phone early this year but that won’t be the only model planned for 2021. There will be a second device that will launch as the Moto G Stylus 5G, and now a press render of the device has surfaced on the web.

The render was posted on Twitter by Nils Ahrensmeier of TechnikNews and it shows the phone from all angles. As seen in the photo, the Moto G Stylus 5G will have a hole in the left corner of its display. The side bezels are pretty slim but the chin is thicker.

Motorola has gone with a camera design different from the model that launched earlier this year. While it still has four sensors, they are arranged in a way that reminds one of a cooker. The camera housing protrudes and there is a pill-shaped LED placed horizontally below the cameras. Motorola’s batwing logo sits in the middle and you can be sure there is a fingerprint scanner beneath it.

The Moto G Stylus 5G has an audio jack at the bottom alongside a USB-C port, a speaker grille, and the silo for the stylus. The top of the phone is bare.

According to the source, this is the Motorola device codenamed “denver” and according to earlier reports, it will be powered by a Snapdragon 480 5G processor. This is Qualcomm’s entry-level 5G chipset and we have seen it appear in phones as the OPPO A74 5G, Vivo’s revised Y52s, and HMD Global’s Nokia X10 and Nokia X20.

The phone is said to come with 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage but it has also been revealed that there will be a 256GB version. We expect this variant to have at least 6GB of RAM.

For the cameras, it has been revealed that the primary camera is a 48MP sensor and it comes along with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor.

The Moto G Stylus 5G will be exclusive to the US according to Nils but we won’t put it past Motorola to announce it in another market under a different name. When the launch will happen is still unknown but if you want a budget 5G phone with a stylus, then you may want to hold on for this one.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab patent-based concept renders showcase a tri-fold design

By
Jed John Ikoba
-

Samsung has been developing foldable display technology in recent years, as highlighted by its patents in this area. A recent patent listing at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) shows that the company was working on a design titled ‘Method and device for providing (a) user interface in (an) electronic device having foldable display’. The patent was published on May 21, 2021, and gives an insight into the possible usage scenarios of such a multi-foldable device.

Earlier on, the same design was patented at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patenting information has now yielded some renders of the device, which are pretty illuminating. Editor-in-Chief at Yanko Design, Sarang Sheth, has provided some pretty hi-res renders of the Galaxy Z Fold Tab (via LetsGoDigital), using the details contained in the Patent. There is no need for a cover display in the device because of its foldable design. The device’s name is not yet clear, although it could be named Galaxy Z Fold Tab or Galaxy Z Flex, which is in line with the naming convention used in the foldable Samsung 2-in-1 laptop.The Galaxy Z Fold Tab is designed to operate both as a smartphone and a tablet, with a decent form factor resulting from its minimal folding mechanism. The design of the Z Fold tablet also incorporates a position for the S Pen, which could be more efficient in the model.Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab

Foldable technology holds much promise, as several OEMs are pursuing active research along such a line. Recently Huawei and Xiaomi have released affordable foldable-display smartphones to the Chinese market.Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab

However, Samsung will have to decide whether this device is worthy of being released into the tablet market and its market viability. The Galaxy Unpacked event slated for August 2021 will provide further perspective on the possible trajectory of the new foldable device.

The Pro-H version of the Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover has the capability of electrolyzing the water with the addition of hypochlorous acid which can sterilize efficiently, more than 99% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, it can effectively block fecal-oral transmission, making the toilet truly clean. The sterile water also can be automatically restored to natural water, making it environmentally friendly.Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover Pro-H Version

Each time the toilet lid is opened, it will automatically start the pre-wetting function. During this phase, there is multi-directional automatic spraying of water mist to moisten the inner wall surface of the toilet to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface when flushing.Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover Pro-H Version

The smart toilet seat cover supports 8 cleaning modes. These include Menstrual care, Spa, Children’s cleaning, Women’s cleaning, Buttocks cleaning, Massage cleaning, Reciprocating cleaning, and Selection cleaning. Most children cannot use the washing function normally because of their small buttocks. The one-key operation of this product is specially designed for children and can be used without being seated.Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover Pro-H Version

After the flushing is completed, the Tinymu Pro-H supports four-block warm air, which are room temperature, 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C, with a four-block seat ring for temperature adjustment, which is suitable for all seasons.

You can start the deodorization function by yourself when you sit down. The activated carbon is combined with a catalyst deodorant, and then a fan is used to ventilate the room so that it smells fresh when someone else wants to use the loo.

In terms of design, the Tinymu Smart Toilet Cover Pro-H adopts a new slim design with smooth lines. It packs a remote sensor at the side for remote control operation. Further, the seat is said to be compatible with 95% of mainstream toilets in the market. It can be adapted to arc, wall-mounted, and small toilets.

The product is presently up for backing on Xiaomi Youpin. It will start shipping in June.
