Huawei will be venturing into Smart Car Charging Solutions with its new HiCharger DC Fast Charging Module

Huawei is involved in a number of industries which include smartphones, telecommunications, and even smart TVs. A few days back, the company announced the launch of a new Hauwei HiCharger DC fast charging module on April 24. This new charging module will be used as an energy charging infrastructure solution in co-operation with a number of electric departments in China such as Grid (Beijing) and Xingxing Charging (Changzhou), Nanwang Electric (Shenzhen), China Merchants Sanyou (Beijing), Zhuhai Titan (Zhuhai) and Dalian Robinson (Dalian), and others.

Huawei HiCharger DC Fast Charging Module

The release of HiCharger DC fast charging module will officially mark Huawei’s entry into the field of charging solutions. The company’s energy product lineup will cover four areas namely data center energy, communications energy, smart photovoltaic, and smart electric.

Out of the which, the Huawei smart electric division is committed to creating high-quality, high-standard automotive electrification solutions, providing components such as charging and power supply, electronic control, and battery management.

If Huawei continues to thrive in the new charging solutions like the upcoming HiCharger DC fast charging module, it could become one of the primary suppliers of smart car charging solutions in a few years from now, at least in its home country China.

In addition to charging solutions, the company has already announced a smart interactive system for cars called HiCar late last year. This feature is baked into the brand’s EMUI mobile software and is available on certain high-end smartphones like Mate 30 series.

Meizu 17 achieves 11.77 Hours in Internal Battery Endurance Test

Meizu 17 will be soon launched on April 22. Ahead of it, the device has been leaked multiple times over the past few weeks. Additionally, the brand itself has now started teasing its features. Yesterday, the company confirmed the processor and battery capacity of the handset. And now, it has shared the internal battery endurance test results of Meizu 17 against competitors like Huawei P40 Pro, Oppo Find X2 Pro, and Xiaomi Mi 10.

Meizu 17 Battery Endurance Test Teaser

As you can see from the image above, the upcoming Meizu 17 performs better than all the competitors that were tested alongside it. Bizarrely, the Xiaomi Mi 10 with the largest capacity battery, 4,780 mAh to be precise, performs the worst with only 8.16 hours.

Further, although the Huawei P40 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro have a similar 4,200 mAh battery, the former achieved 9.75 hours compared to the latter’s 9.06 hours.

Whereas, the star of the show, Meizu 17 with a 4,500 mAh battery scores 11.77 hours, which is much better than all the handsets mentioned above.

The 8 hours battery endurance test conducted by Meizu laboratory included the devices to run WeChat for 2 hours, Kings of Glory gameplay for 2 hours, music playback for 1 hour, 30 minutes of camera usage followed by another 30 minutes for the gallery app, 1 hour of E-book reading, 20 minutes on the homescreen, and 10 minutes in Settings.

 

Buy Redmi AirDots S for Just $14.99 from Giztop

The Redmi AirDots 2 passed through the Bluetooth SIG certification last week, hinting at an impending launch of a successor for the well-received Redmi AirDots that was made available to the public in 2019.

Redmi AirDots S

On Apr. 14, the Xiaomi-owned brand unveiled a new pair of TWS earbuds, surprisingly bearing a different moniker. Redmi decided to deviate from its naming scheme by calling the long-awaited Redmi AirDots successor, the Redmi AirDots S rather than the Redmi AirDots 2.

The Redmi AirDots S retains most of the design elements of the original Redmi AirDots. The company didn’t even come up with a new colorway, sticking to the plain and low-profile black. Nevertheless, the new earbuds are loaded with an array of impressive features.

Before we dive into more details, it might interest you to know that the Redmi AirDots S is now available for a considerably lowered price through Giztop. Touted as one of China’s most reliable e-tailers, Giztop is offering the recently unveiled earbuds for just $14.99, which is a significant reduction in its original asking price of $16.99.
Redmi AirDots S

One of the upgraded features includes a better pairing. The original model used a master-slave connection to connect with a device. The right earbuds connect your mobile device, then the left earbuds connect to the right earbud. You can even use a single earbud (either the right or the less earbud).

The Redmi AirDots S adopts a different method. As soon as you pair them to your phone for the first time, both earbuds are connected without the master-slave function. Moreover, you can use the right, as well as the left earbud in mono-mode and it switches to stereo automatically when you place the second earbud into your ear.

The AirDots S packs a Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which Redmi claims delivers double the data transmission as compared to its predecessor. On top of that, it offers faster and more stable connectivity. You can activate a new low-latency game mode simply by pressing the button on the earbud three times.

For clearer calls, the new Redmi TWS earbuds use 7.2mm drivers and a DSP for smart noise reduction features. The battery lasts for 4 hours and 12 hours with the case. It supports Google Assistant, Siri, and XiaoAI voice assistants.

You can follow this link to check out more details about the Redmi AirDots S and place your order through Giztop. Note that the earbuds will go back to their original asking price as soon as the promo comes to an end.

After comparing the OnePlus 8 Pro to Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro, we decided to compare it with the remaining flagships from the main smartphone manufacturers released in the last period in order to give you a complete view of the actual scene. We are naturally talking about the Huawei P40 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20+ which will be the main rivals of the OnePlus 8 Pro if we exclude the devices included in the previous comparison.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Hybrid Dual SIM slot, fast reverse wireless charging 27W, waterproof IP68, infrared face recognition Hybrid Dual SIM slot, reverse wireless charging, waterproof IP68 Dual SIM slot, reverse wireless charging 3W, IP68 waterproof

Design

Which device has the best design? It is all a matter of taste. All come with an impressive screen-to-body ratio, punch-hole displays, glass backs, and aluminum frames. And all of them are waterproof with the IP68 certification. Huawei P40 Pro seems to offer a higher screen-to-body ratio, but its dual punch hole makes the front panel less minimalistic than OnePlus 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20+. Huawei P40 Pro is also the most compact device due to its smaller display. Which design do you prefer?

 

Display

On the paper, OnePlus 8 Pro offers the most impressive display. It has an amazing 10 bit panel displaying one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution and the HDR10+ technology. The handset also provides a very smooth user experience with its 120 Hz refresh rate. And it has the widest panel of the trio with a 6.78-inch diagonal. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy S20+ with the same resolution and the same refresh rate, but it can be used at 120 Hz only with the Full HD+ resolution. Huawei P40 Pro offers a lower, but still high, 90 Hz refresh rate. But the max resolution stops at 1080p.

 

Hardware/Software

OnePlus 8 Pro is fueled by the Snapdragon 865 chipset, Samsung Galaxy S20+ packs either a Snapdragon 865 or an Exynos 990 SoC (slightly inferior to Snapdragon 865, according to benchmarks) depending on the market, while Huawei P40 Pro has a Kirin 990. With Samsung Galaxy S20+ and OnePlus 8 Pro, you get up to 12 GB of RAM. Besides a chipset that can be considered inferior to the Snapdragon 865, Huawei P40 Pro even comes with less RAM: just 8 GB. In each case, you get Android 10 out of the box.

 

Camera

As for now, it is hard to establish which devices of this trio sports the best cameras. We can only analyze the specs on the paper since we still had no chance to test the OnePlus 8 Pro as it just went official. On the paper, Huawei P40 Pro looks more interesting with its periscope lens supporting up to 5x optical zoom, an amazing 50 MP sensor with RYYB filter, and a 40 MP ultrawide lens. This handset is currently in the first place of DxOMark’s ranking of the best camera phones.

 

Battery

Due to its smaller battery, Huawei P40 Pro should provide a shorter battery life than OnePlus 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20+. But it has the fastest charging technology with a power of 40W.

 

Price

OnePlus 8 Pro is priced €899/$899 in its base variant, Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G (in Europe there is also a 4G version costing €999) costs $1,199/€1,099, and Huawei P40 Pro starts from €999 (it is not sold in the U.S. for obvious reasons). With its amazing display, fastest wireless charging technology, amazing hardware, big battery, and even nice cameras, OnePlus 8 Pro looks like the most balanced device of this trio, at least on the paper. But Huawei P40 Pro may be the most impressive one in terms of camera. But you should not underestimate Samsung Galaxy S20+ which is more or less at the same level as the OnePlus 8 Pro. Unfortunately, we still can not make a comparison based on the usage and given the marginal differences, we can not pick a definitive winner. Which one would you choose?

Honor 9X Series Sells Over 10 Million Units in China

The Honor 9X and the Honor 9X Pro launched in July 2019 were the world’s first smartphones to be powered by HiSilicon Kirin 810 SoC. This duo has now successfully sold over 10 million units in China according to a Weibo post by Guan Haitao, the vice president of marketing at Honor.

Honor 9X Series 10 Million Units

The Honor 9X series sold over 3 million units just within 29 days of its launch in China. However, it took about 8 months to reach 10 million units, thanks to intense competition from competitors as well as newer devices from Honor and its parent company Huawei.

Still, it’s a great accomplishment by the brand to sell such a huge number of units of a single series in a sea of smartphones launching every other week. This count could have been even larger if the original Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro ever saw a launch in international markets.

As for the brand, it is also celebrating the success of the HiSilicon Kirin 810 chipset as it debuted on these smartphones.  This chip was recently succeeded by HiSilion Kirin 820 5G. As the name suggests, it features an integrated 5G modem and powers the brand new Honor 30S. The upcoming Huawei Nova 7 SE is also expected to feature this new 7nm 5G chipset.

 

DOOGEE S95 Pro Review: A Top rugged Phone with Modular design

DOOGEE S95 Pro

DOOGEE Module rugged phone

 

This is not the golden age of mainstream smartphones anymore. The crazy time of smartphones may have long gone – now its the time of smartphones with incremental updates.

However, the segment of rugged smartphones is rising up. There is no certain standard dictating how a rugged smartphone should look like. From this point, DOOGEE is definitely on the top of the range with its latest modular rugged phone, DOOGEE S95 Pro. If the DOOGEE smartphone is just waterproof, shockproof and scratchproof, I wouldn’t be impressed. But the most attractive feature of the S95 Pro are the attached modular components.

DOOGEE S95 Pro

DOOGEE S95 Pro Review: Design

DOOGEE is one of the most prolific rugged phone producers. After upgrade over the past few years, it has developed a unique design on its rugged devices. Especially for the DOOGEE S95 Pro, compared to most large rugged phones, DOOGEE has worked to refine its smartphone design by making it relatively lightweight (284g) with an extremely tough built. But for a rugged phone, thin body size is not the priority. The S95 Pro is armed with a solid metal frame and special rubber sheet which was claimed as ‘industry-leading’ rubber protection. Such a combination of metal frame and rubber protection allows users to enter extreme conditions – without worry.

DOOGEE S95 Pro

There are two SIM slots on both sides of the phone frame. One is simply applied for SIM card, and the other one can be taken for either a second SIM card or a micro-SD card as external storage. Below the SIM1 slot, there is a sequence of buttons including volume buttons, a power button, and another fingerprint recognition sensor. The military-style of the rear design brings a unified and clear production positioning for the device. The S95 is rated IP68/IP69K, which is on top of the usual dust and water resistance. And it also has MIL-STD-810G certification.

In addition to this, the S95 Pro equipped triple rear cameras, including a Sony IMX 582 48MP camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera (117°) and 8MP depth sensor. As a module phone, it has a magnetic module port for attaching the official modules. So far, the DOOGEE has developed a speaker module and another power module.

 

DOOGEE S95 Pro Review: Display

The S95 Pro features a 6.3-inch screen with a 2160 x 1080 pixel resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 covered. And it supports a MiraVision tuning, which allows users to tailor picture quality based on their needs, and further choose Picture/User Mode by themselves.

Hardware

The S95 Pro equipped an MTK Helio P90 Soc, which is considered as a worthy opponent of the Snapdragon 710. And it offers 8GB RAM and 128GB Samsung UFS 2.0 storage, which is not as fast as the UFS3.0 used in 2020 flagships, but still better than the eMMC storage used in other mid-rangers.

 

Speaker Module & Power Module

Like the other rugged phones, the 5150mAh large battery is necessary for long-lasting endurance when facing an awful situation. After seeing some rugged phones with even 10000mAh, the S95 Pro’s battery capacity may not be surprising. However, the attachable 3850mAh battery pack and the size-down body provides another solution. The phone can fast-charge at up to 24W.

The speaker module has two 27mm speakers and a kickstand to prop up the phone. No need to worry about power consumption as the separate battery inside can last for around 10 hours. A noteworthy detail is that the speaker module will cover the phone’s camera while the power pack will not, which is much reasonable as we can imagine what scenarios users will put these two on. But these modules are not as waterproof or shock resistant as the phone is, so pay attention not to drop them on the ground or in the water.

Use experience

The S95 Pro runs the Android 9.0 Pie system, which is kind of disappointing. The system was updated to February 10, 2020, with the January 5, 2020 security patch level. As for its performance, it’s known that most Rugged phones cannot be compared to the performance of mainstream flagships and the S95 Pro is no exception. However, with Helio P90 onboard the S95 Pro is still one of the most powerful rugged smartphones. Helio P90 is pretty good for the device, after all, a rugged phone’s priority is always its toughness and its capacity of adapting to different bad conditions.

 

In our daily use, it did match our expectations of a top rugged phone. The rubber protected the machine well when accidentally dropping the phone on the ground. Especially the thickened rubber of four corners could sustain the impact of dropping and not even hit the display. Then we exposed it in the rain for over an hour and it came out fine.

 

Cameras

We took some photos with the S95 Pro. The 48MP primary camera can produce relatively true colors with a good resolution. The wide-angle samples could reach a wider angle but still, need to improve the anti-distortion. Just look at the samples and see whether it met your needs.

Conclusion

The S95 Pro is an excellent rugged phone that can handle extreme conditions. But what’s more surprising is its modular capability that expands its features. There are even some interesting ways to make good use of the module set. For example, connect to the computer with the speaker module and turn it as MIDI.

With an affordable price tag, the S95 Pro is not just another alternative to a primary smartphone. It is an ideal choice for those who enjoy outdoor activities or have to work outdoors, such as adventure enthusiasts or construction workers.

Being the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, Samsung was late to adopt in-display fingerprint technology. But soon it caught up unlike Apple, which has shifted to face authentication system. It has been over a year since the first Galaxy with in-display fingerprint sensor launched but the Galaxy A71 5G is the first-ever phone to use a Goodix in-display fingerprint solution.

A number of smartphone companies like Huawei, Xiaomi, Realme, OnePlus, and others use Goodix in-display solutions on their devices. But sadly, Samsung is even late to this party but at last, it finally did it.

Talking about other features, the Galaxy A71 5G packs a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus Infinity-O display, 64MP(primary) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) + 5MP (depth) quad-camera system, 32MP selfie camera, Exynos 980 dual-mode (SA / NSA) 5G chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM, 4,500 mAh battery, One UI 2.0 (Android 10), and will be available in three colours – Black, Blue, and Silver.

Sony PlayStation 5 may ship with a Robot that watches and reacts to you gaming

A new Sony patent has revealed a bizarre new feature that could arrive for its upcoming PlayStation 5 gaming console. The patent describes a robot companion who watches users play the game and reacts to players’ emotional state. This is one of the latest Sony patents to be revealed, and it’s really strange, to say the least.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 will be the company’s latest generation of gaming console. It is touted to bring a significant performance improvement over previous generations and its release is extremely anticipated. However, at this point, finer details and most of the features regarding the gaming console are currently unknown apart from a few technical details.

Sony

Recently, Sony had unveiled the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller, but its details are also unknown as of now. However, the bizarre robot companion that might just ship with your PlayStation 5, may steal the spotlight from the console itself. According to a recent report, Sony’s latest tech project has the company develop a robot technology that watches one’s gameplay and reacts to players’ emotions.

Sony’s official description reveals the reason for the companion as well. It states that the “data shows that when a player is being watched it boosts his/her motivation for playing.” In other words, players’ morale and motivation are boosted when he thinks he is being watched, so as to subconsciously perform better. Furthermore, Sony mentioned that “It is expected that the user’s affinity with the robot is increased and motivation for playing a game is enhanced by the robot viewing the gameplay next to the user and being pleased or sad together.”

The news was first reported by Respawn First that called the robot housing a “feeling deduction unit, configured to deduce the player’s feelings.” Unfortunately, whether this project is actually in development or not is still unknown. Only an official announcement could confirm this, but as it stands, it is more likely be the company securing every base right now.
