TikTok-owner ByteDance has reportedly increased the urgency of talks with the Trump administration in order to avoid getting banned in the United States without selling its operations to an American company.
The report from Wall Street Journal claims that the China-based ByteDance has been working on this plan for months with the US, but time getting out of hand, the intensity of pursuing has grown rapidly to avoid selling the business.
Another report from CNBC claims that both the entities are in discussion to avoid a full sale of TikTok and could include restricting ByteDance. It also adds that this was the case before Donald Trump got involved in this matter.
Last month, Microsoft confirmed that the company has been in talks with ByteDance to acquire its US operations. A couple of weeks ago, TikTok CEO Kevin Mayers announced his resignation. It was being speculated that the resignation could be because of the acquisition deal getting finalized. Later, Walmart partnered with Microsoft for a joint bid to acquire TikTok in the US and a few other regions.
TikTok is being forced to sell off its U.S. operations to an American company by the government amid intense political scrutiny because of the platforms’ country of origin. It has also been under fire because of its data collection practices, which the United States claims put its national security at risk.
Even though the short video social media platform has been banned in India and is getting scrutinize worldwide for data collection, it remains the most popular application worldwide. It saw the highest number of downloads in both the App Store and Google Play, making it the highest download app in August 2020.
At a time when Huawei is under immense pressure to find out ways to keep its smartphone business afloat, the company has launched a new lifestyle product — Huawei Smart Business Suitcase.
The new Smart Business Suitcase from Huawei has been developed in partnership with Samsonite. It comes in three different sizes — 20-inch, 25-inch, and 28-inch, costing 1,999 yuan (~$292), 2,299 yuan (~$337), and 2,599 yuan (~$380) respectively.
One of the most interesting features of this suitcase is the ease of unlocking. If the Smart Busines Suitcase has been linked to a Huawei smartphone, bringing the device close to the password sensing area unlocks the suitcase, even when the phone’s screen is off.
It also comes with several other features, including built-in charging, storage box, and external USB port, which makes it easier for the users to charge their smartphones or other such handheld devices.
The company says that the internal compartments in the suitcase have been designed with environmentally friendly fabrics. It also comes with a dry and wet separation bags to make it easy to organize the storage.
It comes with a thicker aluminum alloy tube wall and is lighter and durable. There’s also a secure TSA code lock, which makes it a convenient option for clearing through customs during international travel.
Xiaomi-backed Roborock, which is known for making smart cleaning robots, has announced that it has completed the Research & Development work for its commercial cleaning robot and now it is in the testing phase.
The commercial shipping robots from the company mainly target shopping malls, large supermarkets, office buildings, airports, and other large indoor spaces. The company expects the demand for commercial sweeping robots to rise with increasing labor costs.
As per the report, it seems that the company will be making the commercial devices on a pre-order basis and Roborock has two primary OEMs carry this out — Xinwangda and Dongguan Great Wall.
Roborock has also made a few customized sweeping robots for Xiaomi, including the Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S. It is the first Xiaomi ecological chain company to get listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board.
Earlier this year, in February, the company got listed and raised around 4.5 billion yuan, which is approximately $641 million through Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company had said that it will be using the IPO proceeds to develop next-generation robotic home cleaners and a data analysis platform.
The company was founded in the year 2014 and as said, it designs and sells intelligent home cleaners and other cleaning appliances. Xiaomi owns about 24.7% of Roborock, a robotic cleaning appliances provider, through its associated companies Tianjin Jinmi Investment Partnership and Shunwei Capital. Other investors in the company include Gaorong Capital and Qiming Venture Partners.
Apple is known for making innovative and premium consumer electronics products. However, due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the company has designed and manufactured its own face mask.
As per the report from Bloomberg, the face mask, which is being called Apple Face Mask, uses three layers of material to filter out particles. Apart from this, the company also has another mask called ClearMask which is the first completely clear surgical mask that has been approved by the FDA.
Thanks to the transparency in the material, the ClearMask will enable those who are deaf or hard at listening to lipread the other person. As per the report, the Face Mask has been designed and manufactured entirely by Apple’s internal teams while the ClearMask has been sourced from outside.
Further, the company has carefully sourced materials so that it doesn’t take away supplies of materials needed for PPE in hospitals. To replace the standard cloth masks worn by the employees, Apple will start sending out the new masks to corporate and retail employees over the next few weeks.
As for the design, the mask looks quite unique with large coverings on the top and the bottom for the nose and chin. It also comes with adjustable strings so that it easily fits around the person’s ears.
It is not yet known if the company plans to manufacture these new masks for external use. Apple Store policy requires employees and customers to wear face masks, with Apple Stores distributing masks to customers upon entering the store.

Original story continues…
Recent reports have revealed that Vivo is working on its first smartwatch. The Bluetooth and 3C certifications have revealed that W2052 and W2056 model numbers belong to the upcoming Vivo Watch. Recently, a tipster had claimed that the Vivo Watch could be debuting within a timeframe of two months. However, he is now claiming that the Vivo Watch will go official at September end.
The tipster has shared an image of a smartwatch in his Weibo post that tells about the September-end launch for the Vivo Watch. It is not clear whether it is a placeholder image or a live shot of the Vivo Watch. However, the description of the Vivo Watch shared by the tipster does match with the device shown in the image.
According to the tipster, the Vivo Watch has a round-shaped AMOLED display, a stainless-steel chassis, and a leather strap. The device is expected to go official in 42mm and 46mm variants.
The exact battery size of the Vivo Watch is not known. However, it is said that it can deliver 18 days of battery life. The tipster has said that it will not be running on WearOS. Just as the OPPO Watch came with ColorOS in China, the Vivo Watch could be coming with FunTouchOS in the homeland.
The Vivo Watch is expected to offer features such as independent music playback, NFC for making payments, heart rate sensor, blood oxygen content tracker, Bluetooth 5.1, and more. The smartwatch may cost around 1,000 Yuan and it may sell in colors like Mocha, Mixia, Shadow, and Fengshang.
Nearly two weeks after going on pre-order on AliExpress, the Amazfit Neo is now official. The retro-inspired smartwatch by Huami was announced in China today and you can pick it up immediately.
The Amazfit Neo has a 1.2-inch STN LCD always-on display that is visible under direct sunlight. In the dark, there is a backlight that illuminates the display; all you have to do is raise your wrist to turn it on.
The watch can track three sports modes – running, walking, and cycling. It is also waterproof up to 50 meters, so you can take it for a swim. The Amazfit Neo has a heart rate sensor for 24-hour heart rate monitoring (at 30-minute intervals). It also has sleep tracking with support for daytime naps. You also get the PAI health assessment that is available on other Amazfit watches.
The Amazfit Neo has a 160mAh battery that should last up to 4 weeks on a single charge. The manufacturer says with typical usage, you should get 28 days of battery life while in basic mode (no heart rate tracking and Bluetooth turned off), it will go up to 37 days. It connects via Bluetooth 5.0 BLE to the Zepp app and works with both Android and iOS devices. It can sync text messages, emails, and notifications by displaying the icon as seen in the image below.
The watch is available in three colors – Grass Gray Green, Coral Orange, and Classic Black – with matching PUR straps. It is priced at ¥299 (~$44) and is available for purchase on Tmall. You can still grab it for $39.99 on the official AliExpress store but it is only available in black.
The Motorola Moto E7 Plus is a new budget smartphone from the Lenovo-owned company. The phone was expected to launch today but Motorola skipped its announcement. Nevertheless, its specs and price have been published on the web.
The Moto E7 Plus has a 6.5-inch LCD display with a 1600 x 720 resolution and a waterdrop notch at the top for the selfie camera. Just as we have seen on a number of budget mid-range phones announced in the past few weeks, this also features a Snapdragon 460 processor according to the German blog, Winfuture, and it is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. If you need more storage, there is a MicroSD card slot available.
There are two cameras on the back of the Moto E7 Plus and they are housed in a square housing with rounded corners along with an LED flash that sits above the sensors. The primary camera is a 48MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture and it is paired with a 2MP depth sensor. Up in front is an 8MP selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture.
The Moto E7 Plus has a 5000mAh battery which is sort of the standard battery capacity for mid-range phones these days. Unfortunately, while you should get up to 2 days of usage, you will not be able to quickly top up the battery when you are running low as the phone only supports 10W charging. Another letdown is that it has a MicroUSB port.
The phone has its SIM tray on the left side and has support for Dual SIM. There is also an audio jack at the top of the phone. The Moto E7 Plus ships with Android 10 out of the box with Motorola’s My UX interface and Moto Actions.
Xiaomi just came up with a device that is already considered by a lot of people the smartphone with the highest value for money of 2020: the POCO X3 NFC. With this handset, you get much at a very affordable price. It just launched in the global market, where several Xiaomi budget phones are actually among the best-sellers of the year. Is the new POCO X3 NFC better than every other Xiaomi phone in terms of value for money? Why is it so affordable? It is really the best deal or there are hidden compromises to face? We will try to answer these questions in this comparison between POCO X3 NFC, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite, and Redmi Note 9 Pro.

Design
At a first glance you would not say that Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is the most premium device of this trio because of its waterdrop notch, since its two rivals come with more modern punch-hole display. But the truth is that Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is more compact and it is also made with more premium materials, including a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and an aluminum frame. With the POCO X3 NFC, you get an aluminum frame but a plastic back, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro has a glass back and a plastic frame. That is why Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite wins the design comparison. But you should note that POCO X3 NFC is splash-proof with the IP53 certification.
Display
Do you prefer having an AMOLED display with a standard refresh rate or an IPS panel with a high 120 Hz refresh rate? If you need a better image quality, then you should go for the HDR10 display of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite coming with the AMOLED technology. If you need a smoother viewing experience because you are a gamer or you just like smoothness, choose the POCO X3 NFC, but you will get an inferior image quality. Redmi Note 9 Pro is pretty disappointing since it sports a classic IPS display with a standard refresh rate. Note that Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite has a smaller display than its two opponents (6.47 inches vs 6.67 inches).
Hardware/Software
The most advanced chipset belongs to the POCO X3 NFC: we are talking about the Snapdragon 730G which is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 730G found on the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite. But there is something to specify: the differences between Snapdragon 730G and 732G are not big, and the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite offers a higher amount of RAM in its most advanced configuration (8 GB vs 6 GB). That is why Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite looks a more interesting choice. We discard the Redmi Note 9 Pro since it comes with a weaker Snapdragon 720G and max 6 GB of RAM. Android 10 is installed out of the box, but only with the POCO X3 NFC you get the MIUI 12 directly.
Camera
With the POCO X3 NFC, you get a slightly better camera experience because it has a better ultrawide sensor with a 13 MP resolution. But its macro camera is inferior with a 2 MP resolution. The differences between the cameras of POCO X3 NFC, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite, and Redmi Note 9 Pro are just marginal and in each case, we are talking about midrange camera phones.
Battery
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite provides both the biggest battery and the longest battery life because it features a more efficient and smaller AMOLED display. Right after, despite its smaller battery than POCO X3 NFC, there should be Redmi Note 9 Pro because it comes with a standard refresh rate. But the POCO X3 NFC is still a great battery phone.
Price
POCO X3 NFC carries a starting price of just €229/$270 (€199 for the first day) in the global market and it has the best value for the money. But the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is my favorite one because of its AMOLED display, more premium design, and a bigger battery. However, you have to spend almost €300/$353 to get it. With the POCO X3 NFC around, there is no reason to buy a Redmi Note 9 Pro with the actual prices ranging between €220/$260 and €230/$270, so you should wait for its price to drop if you are interested in it.
Microsoft has announced the prices of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S gaming consoles. While we already know the series S is the cheaper and smaller model, there are other differences under the hood that explain the $200 difference between the two next-gen consoles.
The two consoles differ in processing power, GPU, RAM, and storage which we have highlighted in the table below:

Xbox Series X

Output

4K @ 60fps, up to 120fps
Disc Drive
No drive
4K UHD Blu-ray
As you can see, the Xbox Series X is significantly more powerful. Its processor is clocked higher, it has triple the GPU power of the Series S, and also has 6GB more RAM. On top of that, you get double the storage, it outputs 4K, and you also have the option of using physical discs. That sure is worth the extra $200 you are paying.
That is not to say the Xbox Series S is not a good buy. It is actually a great console especially if you are on a budget. Not everyone has a 4K TV and 1440p is pretty great. Let’s not forget that the framerate goes up to 120fps. Microsoft has also revealed that it has Quick Resume so you can switch easily between games, and if 512GB isn’t enough, you can add up to an additional 1TB via an expansion slot.
The Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X go on pre-order on September 22 and will be announced on November 10. Do let us know in the comment box which of the two consoles you will be getting.
360‘s mobile phone business may be in hybernation at the moment, but the brand has continued to sustain its other product lines. A new surveillance camera has been launched dubbed 360 Smart Camera PTZ Edition. The camera is presently open to pre-order on Jingdong for 179 yuan ($26).
The 360 Smart Camera PTZ version is equipped with a 3-megapixel sensor as well as upgraded resolution of 2K which can deliver ultra-clear image quality with attention to details. With professional WDR and intelligent exposure technology, it can still be seen clearly even if there is a light at the background and also in dark or poorly lit environments.
The camera is powered by an HiSilicon AI chip with support for low-light full-color algorithm which ensures that even if the indoor light is weak, you can see the color picture.
It adopts a dual-motor pan-tilt design with a 360-degree panoramic horizontal field of view and a 152-degree super-large vertical field of view. The company has promised to launch the “one-key panoramic view” function later this month.
There is a green call button under the lens of the 360 Smart Camera PTZ 2K version which supports one-key calling. You can use gestures and touch the button to initiate calls to the mobile phone. The elderly and children can also call outside when they are alone at home.
The smart camera supports physical privacy masking and automatically enters privacy masking in combination with “at home mode” to protect privacy at all times.
Leveraging on 360’s hundreds of millions of face data training, the camera can distinguish and mark different faces, and can also recognize human figures. When a person breaks in during the alert period, the camera will automatically track and sound an alarm.
It is also equipped with a speaker and you can open the mobile app to play rich content such as nursery rhymes, stories, and music at any time.
Xiaomi‘s Mi TV Speaker was first released in 2018 and the product was well received. The speaker featured a minimalistic design and is equipped with built-in 8 sound units and this includes two 20-ball dome tweeters, two 2.5-inch subwoofers and four passive radiators. The Chinese tech giant has now launched a new Mi TV Speaker Theatre Edition which has a separate subwoofer that isn’t built into the speaker.
The new product has as some of its selling points, a body made from aluminium alloy, multiple input interfaces, 100W high power, cinema mode and of course, the independent subwoofer.
The Mi TV Speaker Theatre Edition is equipped with five sound units which include two full-range speakers, two tweeters and the separate 6.5-inch subwoofer. Thus, it is composed of a soundbar and a subwoofer with a total power of 100W, including that of the subwoofer which has a 66W power rating. Xiaomi says when the theatre mode is turned on, the bass is strong and true, and the treble is clear and delicate, and the experience is like being on the scene.
The Mi TV Speaker Theatre Edition can easily connect to a variety of devices with several connectivity options such as Bluetooth 5.0, optical fibre, coaxial, and Aux. With these options, you can connect the speaker to TVs, TV boxes, computers, iPads, mobile phones and other devices.
In terms of design, the soundbar design requires only one thread, which is simple and smooth; the black elegant cloth mesh with aluminium alloy decorative strips has both a taste of life and a sense of technology.
The speaker carries a price tag of 699 yuan (~$102) and is presently on sale on the Youpin website.
Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company WalkingPad shot into the limelight a few years back with the launch of its foldable treadmill. In order to give ordinary users who need light exercise to reduce fat access to exercise equipment, Xiaomi Youpin has launched a small-footprint and low-noise fitness equipment. The machine is dubbed the URevo U1 foldable treadmill and it is priced at 1299 yuan (~$190).
In terms of appearance, the URevo U1 Foldable Treadmill adopts a self-developed and patented integrated frame body. After unpacking, it can be used without installation or connecting to a power source. The device also comes with a front screen which clearly displays movement data such as speed, calories, mileage, and time.
The treadmill has a decent area of 120x 42cm and you won’t even have to bother about going over the edges as it is equipped with border warnings which alerts you whenever you exceed the safety range, even larger users can use it with confidence. At the same time, the running belt has its own correction function to prevent deviation.
The maximum speed of the treadmill can reach 6km per hour which can meet general jogging needs. It has a speed limit protection function. From the first use, the speed limit can be cancelled after the accumulated mileage reaches 3km.
In terms of noise reduction, the internal parts of the Urevo treadmill are highly integrated, which can effectively reduce resonance during exercise and greatly reduce noise. The maximum operating noise does not exceed 62 decibels, so there is no need to worry about noise disturbing neighbours.
The machine has a height of just 6.5cm making it easy to slide it under the sofa, thus saving storage space. At the same time, a roller is designed at the bottom of the walking machine, for easy mobility.
Further, the treadmill is equipped with a wireless handheld remote control. Thus, there is no need to look down when adjusting the working parameters. This is yet another feature which enhances the safety of users while trying to keep fit.
Yesterday, Google officially launched Android 11 and it even rolled out the update to all the eligible Pixel smartphones. Following that, partner OEMs also opened beta registrations for their devices. Some of them even released the update to recruited users. On top of this, four of Xiaomi’s handsets have already been receiving weekly MIUI updates based on Android 11 for a while now. Today, two more devices join this list – Redmi K30 5G and Mi 10 Youth Edition.
Though the Redmi K30 5G and Mi 10 Youth Edition launched six months apart from each other, they are shipped with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. Both these smartphones are limited to China and they have even received MIUI 12 stable update.
Since they are part of MIUI weekly builds program, these two devices have been receiving MIUI 12 Beta builds since the day of the announcement. Now, starting today’s build (20.9.9), the update for these handsets will be based on Android 11, according to a Telegram channel called @xiaomiui(via PiunikaWeb).
This makes them the fifth and sixth smartphone respectively to receive MIUI weekly builds based on Android 11 after Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Redmi K30 Pro, and Mi CC9 Pro.
Anyway, it is worth noting that the stable rollout for these newly added mid-range devices may take time. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 2020 flagship phones (initial three handsets in the list) should be getting the stable update first in the coming days.
UPDATE: Release Date – Microsoft has officially confirmed that the XboxSeries X and the Xbox Series S will be launched on November 10. The consoles can be pre-ordered starting from September 22. The price of the Xbox Series S has already been revealed to be $299. The company has no announced that the top-end Xbox Series X will retail for $499.
The original story continues below.
Microsoft has been rumoured for quite a while to be working on a smaller and more affordable Xbox console. The company has now confirmed that it has got the console known as Xbox Series S in the works.
In a tweet, Microsoft describes the Series S as offering “next-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever”. It also disclosed that the console will retail for $299 which is similar to the leaked price. The console will be sold in the UK for £249.99.
Further, the tweet also contained renders of the Xbox S giving us a better look at the device than the first leaked picture. The picture shows the device will have a thin build and won’t have a disc drive. The image shows the console in an upright position but from the logo, we can figure that it will still use the traditional horizontal orientation unlike Sony’s PS5.
👀 Let’s make it official!
Xbox Series S | Next-gen performance in the ˢᵐᵃˡˡᵉˢᵗ Xbox ever. $299 (ERP).
An earlier rumour by Windows Central says both the Series X and Series S will launch on November 10th, with the previously announced high-end Series X selling for $499. As previously reported by The Verge, the Series S (codenamed Lockhart) is designed to play next-gen games in a smaller, cheaper package with less GPU power and lower resolution output than the Series X. The console is expected to come with 1440p support, ray tracing, and 512GB SSD.
Microsoft didn’t reveal further details instead, it hinted that more information will be shared “soon.”
POCOPHONE F1 aka POCO F1 is one of the most popular smartphones in recent years. It launched with MIUI 9 based on Android Oreo in 2018. It was later updated to MIUI 10 and MIUI 11. The underlying Android version was also updated to Android Pie as well as Android 10. Now, it has also begun to receive MIUI 12.
MIUI 12 is the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile software. The company unveiled it back in April and since then, it has been rolling out beta and stable builds to a large number of eligible handsets worldwide.
Since POCO F1 is a two-year-old device, the update for it comes late. The MIUI builds are available in two flavors for this handset – Global and Russia. Currently, MIUI 12 update is only available in the former channel with build number V12.0.1.0.QEJMIXM. Xiaomi is yet to roll out the latter variant of this update.
The update is being seeded out to select users globally. It will be rolled out to more users in the coming days if the early adopters don’t face any issues .
It is worth noting that MIUI 12 could be the last major update for POCO F1 since it is not eligible for Android 11. But still, we are yet to see its direct successor, the so-called POCO F2.
Motorola announced the Motorola Razr flip phone with a foldable screen in November 2019. The device arrived as a renewed version of the Motorola Razr feature phone series from the yesteryear.
