Microsoft launched the surface laptop 3 back in 2019. Hence, a successor is long due for the Windows machine. Amidst a lot of reports, Geekbench listing strengthens the rumor that Microsoft could partner with AMD again.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 — Representative Image: Surface Laptop 3

A Geekbench listing shows the device in testing as the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4. It has a codename ‘renoir’ indicating that the successor of the 2019 notebook will also have a custom-made APU(Zen 2 architecture) and Vega GPU. Although the processor is listed as AMD Ryzen 5 3580U, we think it could just be a placeholder.

This is because the Ryzen 5 3580U found on the predecessor has 4-cores and not a Hexa-core CPU as mentioned in the listing. Hence, the exact version of the Ryzen 5 processor is a mystery at least for now but the listing strongly hints a new ‘Ryzen Surface Edition’ is coming.

Anyway, the listing also shows that the laptop will have 8GB DDR4 SDRAM and run Windows 10 OS. The device in testing scores about 1,063 in single-core and 5,726 in multi-core departments. We will have to wait for the real-world tests to find out if this outsmart the rival Intel 11th-gen CPUs.

Speaking of which, the Surface Laptop 4 is expected to come in 13.5-inch and 15-inch models. Unlike earlier, rumors say that Microsoft will offer AMD (Ryzen 5/7) CPUs as a choice for both sizes in addition to Intel (Core-i5/i7).

The predecessor Surface Laptop 3 had only the Type-C port and 3.5mm jacks so it would be nice of Microsoft to include an HDMI port/SD card reader at a time when giants like Apple are considering it.

The company is expected to launch the Surface Laptop 4 in April which means we could be seeing more leaks in the near future.

Razer Kiyo Pro webcam with support for 60fps 1080p, variable FOV launched

Feb 24, 2021

Webcams are not as popular as they used to be a couple of years back, mostly due to the proliferation of smartphones and tablets. Improvements in smartphone cameras make it more convenient to video chat using a phone. However, in this pandemic era of video conferencing, it is more convenient to use a webcam on a bigger screen or even with a laptop. But some of the webcams around don’t really offer the best of software. Razer has announced a new high-end webcam dubbed Kiyo Pro.

Razer Kiyo Pro is the successor of the Kiyo which was released last year. It features a 2.1-megapixel sensor which it claims can capture footage in 1080p resolution at up to 60 frames per second or up to 30 frames per second depending on if HDR mode is turned on.

The camera features Razer’s Synapse software which enables users to adjust the field of view between 103, 90 and 80 degrees depending on the size of the background you want to be captured by the camera. You won’t need to cover the camera with duck tape as it has a privacy cover. The lens is covered by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The camera uses a Sony IMX327 sensor with a larger1/2.8-inch aperture which is said to capture shots even in a poor lighting condition. As a result, the built-in ring light on the Kiyo is absent on the Kiyo Pro.

As for the pricing, the Razer Kiyo Pro is priced at $200 which is $100 higher than the Kiyo. In our opinion, the webcam is over-priced considering that it misses out on 4K video recording and Windows Hello support.

A company spokesman says LG Rollable’ development not suspended

Feb 24, 2021

We already have foldable smartphones from manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, Royole, and Motorola, and more manufacturers are expected to join the list this year. While LG is yet to make a phone with a foldable display, it is making a rollable phone which it teased at CES last month. A spokesman for the Korean electronic’s giant has said that the phone which should launch as the LG Rollable is still on the way.

LG had teased the device at CES 2021 with a promise to release it later this year. However, reports about LG exiting the mobile phone business have led people to believe that it may suspend the project.

Earlier this week, the Korean publication, Yonhap News, reported that LG may scrap the development of the phone as it considers leaving the mobile business. In relation to the story, a spokesman from LG Electronics informed The Verge that the device has not been put on hold. He is quoted to have said: “I can firmly deny that any such decision on future mobile products has been finalized,”.

That doesn’t sound very convincing as an analysis of the statement shows that it is not an outright denial that it won’t happen at all or it has not been considered but that the decision has not been finalized. It is also hard to take LG for its words as it originally denied it has plans to exit the mobile phone business before turning around later to say it is indeed considering doing so.

The LG Rollable will be the second phone from the LG Explorer Project. The first is the LG Wing. News of a rollable smartphone from LG first surfaced in July last year and the device was referred to as Project B. We expect more details to surface with respect to the LG Rollable in the coming weeks.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy M31s in India in late July 2020. On the other hand, vivo launched the vivo V20 SE in the country in November 202o. Now, months later after their release, these two smartphones have received a permanent price cut of ₹1000 on all the variants for the offline channels.

Samsung Galaxy M31s Price Cut India

The South Korean tech giant debuted the Galaxy M31s in India ahead of the Amazon Prime Day sale event. The handset was introduced for ₹19,499 (6GB + 128GB) and ₹21,499 (8GB + 128GB) respectively. But the offline price was ₹1,000 higher. Anyway, it was slashed to match the online pricing in late September.

With the new ₹1,000 price cut, this phone can be now bought for either ₹18,499 or ₹20,499 from offline stores in India. Interestingly, although 91Mobiles says this price drop is exclusive to offline channels, the device is being sold at this very same price tag on Amazon India. However, for the base variant, buyers will need to apply the included coupon.

Samsung Galaxy M31s launched with One UI Core 2.1 based on Android 10. It is currently receiving the Android 11-based One UI Core 3.0 update.

vivo V20 SE Price Cut India

Unlike the former smartphone, the vivo V20 SE was released in a single 8GB + 128GB variant, priced at ₹20,990. As its price has been now dropped by ₹1,000, it can be purchased for only ₹19,990.

But it is worth noting that this price drop is only applicable across offline channels. The handset is still listed at its launch price on online retailers like Flipkart and Amazon India.

The vivo V20 SE hit the shelves with Funtouch OS 11 based on Android 10. The company is now seeding the Android 11 update to this device.

In January, OPPO was tipped to launch the OPPO F19 series in February. But unfortunately, that still hasn’t happened. But earlier this month, another report revealed that these new devices will be rather debuting in March. Now, a few days later, we finally get the first look at two models in the series, thanks to a leaked poster.

The OPPO F19 series poster was shared by an OPPO Sales executive retailer to MySmartPrice. According to the source, the two devices in the image are OPPO F19 Pro and OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G respectively. These smartphones will be launching in India very soon.

As per the poster, the OPPO F19 series will include the following three handsets.

As the name suggests, only the Pro+ model will support 5G connectivity. This particular phone is already listed on Google ARCore supported devices list.

Whereas, the second model in the picture, which is said to debut as OPPO F19 Pro is already official as OPPO Reno5 F. This handset is also expected to release as OPPO A94 in some regions.

As of now, we only know some specs of the OPPO F19 Pro. This smartphone will feature a 6.4-inch punch-hole AMOLED display, 48MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (monochrome) + 2MP (macro) quad-camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11, and 4,310mAh battery with support for 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 proprietary fast charging protocol.

Vivo says it has no plans of bringing OriginOS outside of China for now

Vivo launched the OriginOS in China back in November 2020. Currently, it is running a Public Beta program for various devices in the region. However, Vivo’s devices in other regions ship with a version of Funtouch OS. Now, the company has said it has no plans to bring the OriginOS outside China.

In a response to a user Query, the Funtouch OS team for India has responded with this comment. It says that OriginOS is indeed for Vivo devices but it has been launched in China. Further, it says that the company doesn’t have any plans to bring it to other regions including India for now.

This was already evident when Vivo announced its Funtouch OS 11 (based on Android 11) schedule for India. According to the schedule, it has been releasing updates to the devices. And the latest to receive it is the Vivo V20 SE.

Anyway, it’s clear Vivo intends to maintain two versions of its UI. One for China(OriginOS) and one for the other regions(Funtouch OS). This isn’t the first company to do it. In fact, companies like OnePlus have their own version for China(Hydrogen OS) and Global markets(Oxygen OS).

If you ask me what is the USP of the OriginOS, it’s a UI overlay on the Funtouch OS for flagships and also has a few nifty little features. To know about them exactly, you can look at our coverage on the same.

Finally, Vivo says that it will update us officially if it changes the stance on the OriginOS for Global markets so let’s play the waiting game for now.

Samsung Display‘s Chief Executive Office Choi Joo-sun, has announced that it has joined the Responsible Business Alliance. The announcement arrived earlier this week and is a part of the company’s efforts to strengthen its environmental, social and governance (ESG) involvement.

For those unaware, the RBA is an international industry coalition that holds its members responsible to a code of conduct, which is based around a higher level of corporate ethics. At the moment, this includes more than 160 global corporations as its members. This includes major known brands like Samsung Electronics, Apple, Intel, and more, as per the KoreaHerald report.

Shin Jae-ho, executive vice president and the head of the display management office at Samsung Display added that “As a global leader in display industry, Samsung Display has been prioritizing environmental and social values in the entire process of product manufacturing. Moreover, we will further evolve into a global company that earns trust from our customers and members of society, and is dedicated to the development and happiness of humanity.”

Being a member of the RBA, the South Korean tech giant will be able to gain momentum to go beyond just conforming to the relevant domestic laws. In other words, it will now ‘incorporate global expectations into its management strategy with regard to the five critical sections of the RBA Code.’ This code includes labor, health and safety, environment, business ethics, and management systems.

Furthermore, the firm stated that its efforts will also abide by the global ESG standards and beyond just domestic offices. This would also have the brand focus on performing onsite audits and work on its management systems and working environments at its foreign offices through the Validated Assessment Program from reputable organizations.

Huawei unveils its Smart Home project at MWC Shanghai 2021

By

Feb 24, 2021

Earlier this week, Huawei debuted its Smart Home project in the ongoing Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2021 event. The new project follows the company’s core design concept of building smart homes.

During the MWC Shanghai 2021 event, the company showcased an area of 550 m2 in total, which included the installation of a living room, kitchen, study, home gym, entertainment room, and garage. These installations use wireless technologies made from products from the Chinese tech giant. This included smartphones, PCs, tablets, smartwatches, smart speakers, and the Vision TV range as well. The smart home project includes products integrated with the Huawei ecosystem partners.

The aim of the project is to offer customers a ‘comfortable, intelligent and immersive Smart Home experience.’ Furthermore, the Smart Home project represents an integral part of the brand’s Seamless AI Life Strategy, which also involves innovative technologies like the HiLink, HarmonyOS, and the new HiCar. In other words, the current prototype is basically what a smart home can be within the Internet of Things era.

The company demonstrated this by showcasing the living room, where just a few words can wake up the smart assistant and enable the Back Home mode. This mode will turn on the air conditioning and air purifier, while also turning on warm lights and closing the curtains. Similarly, the kitchen will also be wirelessly connected and have products that support HarmonyOS. One can simply control these products through their smartphone, once these appliances are connected to a shared network at home.

Huawei also showcased a mock study and living/entertainment room, where one can observe a MatePad Pro laptop and the 65 inch 4K Vision TV respectively. The company’s wearable lineup like the Watch GT 2 Pro also comes in for health related activities and tracking in the gym room. When entering the garage, the doors to the car can open directly through your phones, which can also be synced to other mobile applications and services like music and navigation as well.

According to Huawei, smart home isn’t simply about adding more IoT products, rather, it aims on how these devices connect and form a ‘virtual world.’ In other words, it aims to build an extension of human senses, while also improving how users interact with these devices by developing a ‘repertoire of intuitive voice and gesture commands.’ At the moment, the brand has more than 800 partners in its HiLink platform, which covers over 220 million IoT devices, and aims to bring more than 40 mainstream brands to provide 100 million HarmonyOS based products to households.
