Xiaomi over the weekend launched a new smart home product, one for the kitchen. The Xiaomi Electric Pressure cooker, as it is called, is a smart electric pressure cooker with WiFi. This is in line with Xiaomi’s drive to make all its products smart such that they can be controlled from a central hub. Xiaomi’s hub is the MIJIA app and from the app the cooking time for different foods can be adjusted, the temperature and pressure can be set to correspond with the recipes. The app also gives users other smart controls over the cooker.

The electric pressure cooker is an upgrade over the traditional pressure cooker and looks very much like Xiaomi’s lineup of rice cookers. It combines the features of the pressure cooker and rice cooker to completely eliminate the safety problems posed by ordinary pressure cookers over the years.

The cooker comes with an electromagnetic stepless pressure regulation while it uses a Korean cast aluminium lock structure. The device also comes with a large OLED screen. The rated pressure of the pressure cooker is 1.7 atmospheres, which can make the temperature in the pot reach about 114 °C, greatly shorten the heating time. The gadget also adopts a smarter automatic intermittent pressure transformation scheme which doesn’t require manual pressure relief during cooking. The pressure-holding process is divided into multiple micro-pressure reliefs, and each time the micro-pressure is released, the liquid in the pot can be boiled and stirred so that the nutrients are fully released and fused.

The pressure cooker will be sold for 599 yuan and will go on sale on January 16 via Mi.com, Xiaomi offline stores and authorised stores in China. No chance this product will be available outside China any time soon.

Samsung will be debuting the Galaxy S10 series which includes Galaxy S10 E, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ smartphones in the coming month on Feb. 20 through the Unpacked 2019 event. The launch event will be held in San Francisco, U.S. The South Korean company is working on a strategy to regain popularity in China. It has recently launched Galaxy A9s, Galaxy A8s and Galaxy A6s in the past few months. It appears that the company is now preparing itself to launch the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ phones in China since these phones have 3C certification in China.

Before a smartphone goes official in China, it is required to receive approval from many certification bodies and one of them is China Compulsory Certificate (CCC). The China variant’s S10 and S10 Plus phones with respective model numbers SM-G9730 and SM-G9750 have been spotted on the database of 3C which indicates that these phones will go official in China in the near future.

Last year, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus were made official on Feb. 25. These devices were official announced in China on March 6. Since the Galaxy S10 series are launching five days earlier then the S9 models, there is a possibility that China may receive the new flagship phones at the beginning of March.

The box package of the Galaxy S10 duo will include EP-TA200 charger which supports 9V/1.67A and 5V/2A charging rates. It is the very same charger that comes bundled with other flagship phones from Samsung such as Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+

The Galaxy S10 is rumored to feature a 6.1-inch punch-hole Infinity-O AMOLED display. It will be packed with a 3,100mAh battery. The S10+ may house a larger screen of 6.4 inches and it may feature 3,500mAh battery.

Both phones are expected to come equipped with common features such as Exynos 9820 / Snapdragon 855 chipset variants, in-display fingerprint scanner and triple rear cameras. The S10 will have a single camera on its front while the S10 Plus will be featuring dual front-facing shooters.

An entry-level version of the Galaxy S10 dubbed as Galaxy S10 E is also expected to debut alongside S10 and S10 Plus phones on Feb. 20. The S10 E phone hasn’t appeared on 3C which suggests that the country may not receive it.

The Nokia 6.2 is expected to come with a 6.2-inch IPS LCD display and interestingly it is said to come with a punch hole design or Infinity O-like display. Under the hood, the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset.

The smartphone will be offered in two variants — 4GB RAM and 6GB RAM. Both the models are expected to feature 64GB of internal storage and will have a microSD card for further expanding the phone’s storage capacity.

If this turns out to be true, then the Nokia 6.2 will be the first smartphone to launch in this year. However, we’d advise taking this with a pinch of salt as apart from the tweet from a not-much-known Twitter handle, there’s no information available regarding this.
