Infinix is expected to launch the Infinix Note 10 series very soon, as per multiple certifications. It looks like the brand will also announce an entry-level device called Infinix Hot 10i in the coming days. This phone has appeared on Google Play Console revealing its primary specifications.

Infinix Hot series of smartphones are similar to Xiaomi’s Redmi number series. These handsets offer the best bang for the buck in the markets they are sold. They are popular in Africa where Xiaomi and realme do not have much presence.

The upcoming Infinix Hot 10i with model number X658B will be no exception. According to the device’s Google Play Console listing, it will flaunt an HD+ display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, 320 DPI, and a centered punch-hole at the top for the selfie camera (as per front render).

Being an entry-level smartphone, the handset will be powered by a MediaTek Helio A20 SoC coupled with 2GB RAM. But thankfully, it will run Android 11 out of the box. Since all three Transsion brands (TECNO, Infinix, itel) are not known for providing proper software support, it is a plus point for this device to come with the latest Android version available.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the Infinix Hot 10i apart from the above-mentioned specifics. But we expect to learn more about it before its official announcement sometime later in the coming days.

These companies includes major chip makers like Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Nvidia, which saw the highest revenue rise year on year among the top 10 firms.

In 2020, Qualcomm overtook Broadcom for the leading position in the top 10 list due to the sudden rise in demand for network devices, along with Apple’s decision to use Qualcomm’s baseband processors as well. Furthermore, the US sanctions against Huawei also prompted other smartphone makers to ramp up their handset production volumes to seize Huawei’s market share. Notably, the top three IC design firms also saw a whopping 52.2 percent increase in revenue year on year.

While Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Nvidia led the list, other major IC design firms include MediaTek, AMD, Xilinx, Marvell, Novatek, Realtek, and Dialog as well.

Renesas chip factory fire damage worse than first thought; auto chip supply could be impacted

Mar 29, 2021

Earlier this year, Renesas Electronics Corp’s chip-making plant in Naka, Japan suffered from fire damages. The company had said that 11 machines were damaged but now the company’s spokesperson says that it believes the damage was more extensive than first thought.

While the Renesas spokeswoman would not confirm a specific number, she added that the chipmaker would share the extent of the damage by Tuesday. As per the latest reports, it is believed that the number of inoperable machines was now believed to be around 17.

The company says that it will take at least a month for the production to resume at its 300mm wafer line at the fire-hit plant, but replacing damaged machines could take several months. An extended outage could add to a global shortage of chips which is disrupting some production of cars and electronic devices.

Renesas account for about 30 percent of the global market for microcontroller units used in cars, and two-thirds of the chips produced at the facility are for the auto industry.

The fire was reportedly caused by a power surge in one of the machines. This comes after an earthquake stopped production for three days last month. In 2011, the plant shut down for three months after the deadly earthquake that devastated Japan’s northeast coast.

That said, it is not known why Samsung is set to release a new variant of Galaxy S20 FE months after the smartphone’s debut. For those unaware, this phone’s successor (Galaxy S21 FE) is reported to be in the works and could go official in August.

In related news, Samsung will start selling the original Galaxy S20 FE 5G in India starting tomorrow (March 30). This phone is expected to cost under ₹50,000 in India.

Robot vacuum cleaners are slowly and steadily finding a place in normal households across the globe and manufacturers are investing heavily and bringing new products every now and then to entice customers.

Roborock, a brand that is a part of the Xiaomi family and specializes in robotic vacuum cleaners, has now launched its new T7S lineup which includes three vacuum cleaners — T7S, T7S Plus, and T7S bundled with Automatic Dust Collection and Charging Dock.

The devices generate sound wave vibrations to wipe the floor and come with an omnidirectional floating rubber brush. The company says that it has a coffee stains removal efficiency of 91.419 percent with a single-use, thanks to the device’s support for 3,000 linear transverse acoustic vibrations per minute.

The ultrasonic sensor accurately recognizes the carpet and automatically stops the water supply so it doesn’t get wet while cleaning. Thanks to AI, it also suggests different types of modes for cleaning.

Roborock T7S is equipped with the RR Mason algorithm, which optimizes the zigzag algorithm, reduces repetition, and improves efficiency. The surround algorithm has also been improved and the route is smarter in a multi-table and chair-leg environment.

The battery capacity is 5200mAh which offers around 2.5 hours of battery life and can clean up to 250 square meters at a time. The devices are currently on pre-sale in China and will soon be available for purchase.

The Roborock T7S costs 2,999 yuan but the pre-sale price is 2,499 yuan. On the other hand, the T7S Plus is priced at 3,499 yuan but can be purchased for 2,799 yuan during the pre-sale period. The model which comes with a Dust Collector and Charging Stand can be purchased for 4,099 yuan instead of its regular price of 4,899 yuan.

Mar 29, 2021

The world’s leading smartphone manufacturer, Samsung Electronics, has announced that the domestic sales of the company’s new flagship smartphone lineup — the Galaxy S21 series, has surpassed the 1 million units mark last week.

As per the claims by Samsung, the Galaxy S21 series, which was released on 29th January, has managed to achieve this milestone in 57 days of its launch. This is about one month faster than its predecessor.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra featured — Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

While the pace of sales for the new lineup seems faster than its predecessor, it is still slower than the S10 series launched in the year 2019, which topped the 1 million mark for its units in just 47 days.

Samsung usually announces its new S-series flagship smartphones around mid-February every year but this time, the company launched the Samsung Galaxy S21 series in the month of January, that too with comparatively lower price tags.

In South Korea, the S21 was priced at 999,900 won (~$880), which is cheaper than the low-end S20 last year priced at 1.24 million won. This has also helped the company boost its sales numbers within this time frame.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 accounted for 52 percent of the total S21-series sales, followed by the Galaxy S21 Ultra with 27 percent and Galaxy S21 Plus with 21 percent. The lineup accounted for 20 percent of the company’s total sales in South Korea and 60 percent of them were purchased online.

Razer’s smart mask dubbed Project Hazel will actually be mass produced, CEO reveals

Mar 29, 2021

Razer announced an N95 respirator at CES 2021 dubbed Project Hazel. The product was unveiled as a concept product but in a new twist, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan has disclosed in an interview with Yahoo Finance that “Project Hazel is going to be a reality”.

With the uncertainty surrounding the rollout of COVID 19 vaccines globally and the continued rise in the number of cases and mortality rates, the use of nose masks won’t stop any time soon and that is apparently why Project Hazel is being transformed from concept to reality.

The mask utilizes detachable and rechargeable ventilators that also serve as voice amplifiers as there are microphones embedded inside. The outside is made from waterproof and scratch-resistant recycled plastic with a glossy finish.

In Razer’s trademark manner, the nose mask is designed with RGB Chroma lighting which allows the two ventilators to glow, and even automatically shine light onto your mouth when it gets dark, so others can see you speaking. It equally comes with adjustable ear loops.

There is no word yet on when Razer will release the respirator or the price tag it will adopt. We expect the company to fast track the process as the product will still need to get approved and certified by the US Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or Occupational Safety and Health Administration as well as any relevant authority in the regions where the company plans to sell it.
