It sounds little different from the primitive hotel experiences. Today, WeChat has opened doors for a smart hotel in Shanghai. China’s biggest social messaging app, WeChat has partnered with InterContinental to open this new kind of hotel. It brings a different type of experience to its users by offering them options to book rooms via WeChat. Even users can remotely check-in their rooms and can also use their smartphones as key cards. There is plenty of smartness that has been stuffed into the overall working of the hotel.

It’s not a new idea, Tencent, WeChat’s parent company is in talks with companies for similar hotels since 2014. Well, now they have finally got a chance to showcase their magic of smartness in a hotel. It will help national and international travelers to access the services with faster identity checks and minimal efforts. Primitively, hotels verify the guest’s identity which almost takes time, but now with the help of WeChat, everything can be done online and fast. From authentication to verification and from dining to checking-out everything is assisted by WeChat.

Mainly, WeChart smart hotel will allow travelers to order room service, help process payments, smartly control the room temperature, and can set the curtains and lighting as per need. All these things are done using the WeChat messaging app. Further, it will also assist the guests in the dining area, and now meal is just a face scan away.

There are a different set of services for every part of the hotel. Users will get different privileges 24/7 on the basis of booking type.

WeChat is not only limited to smart devices, but they have expanded to restaurants, shopping malls, and now they have just begun with the smart hotels. It seems WeChat wants to expand their wings wherever possible.

Already, Tencent has signed a deal with Shangri-La. So, expect some more smart hotels to come up soon. It has opened doors for WeChat to bring in surplus smart hotel deals. Bigger giants like, Alibaba and Baidu are already providing similar services in China.

What do you think? Do we really need smart hotels?

Nokia 3.1 Plus Officially Launched in China featuring Helio P22, 6-inch HD+ screen

By
Joel Joseph
-

Nokia’s latest entry-level offering, the Nokia 3.1 Plus is finally official in China. The phone was launched in India back in October and nearly after a month of its release, the phone finally reaches its neighbor. Specs remain unchanged on the new model, so what we are basically interested in is its price tag.

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is priced at 1099 Yuan ($158.6) which is quite close to the Indian pricing for the 3 + 32GB variant. The company is clearly looking for entry-level buyers with this positioning. The hardware inside the phone is pretty decent for its pricing. The phone features the octa-core Helio P22 chipset with MG PowerVR GE8320 GPU and a large 3500mAh battery. With the 6-inch HD+ display on board, you can easily expect more than a day’s usage on the device on a single charge.

The new Nokia model isn’t bad in the camera department as well. The phone features a 13MP f/2.0 aperture sensor at the back paired with a 5MP f/2.4 aperture sensor for good quality bokeh images. Note that users will be able to refocus their shots even after they are taken. On the front, there’s an 8MP shooter to take care of your selfie needs.

The Nokia 3.1 Plus comes in two colors, for now, White and Navy Blue.

 

 

On paper, the phone turns out to be quite well balanced. Further, you get the traditional 18:9 display design without a notch, which is a good alternative to the notch filled phones in the market lately.

It’s worth noting that for a couple of hundred Yuan (~$30) more, you get better devices like the new Honor 10 Lite with Kirin 710, Full HD+ display and 3400mAh battery. So, it’ll be interesting to see whether the phone manages to do well in the Chinese market.

HTC debunks rumor about it not launching a HTC U13, reveals focus is on 5G

Last week, an exclusive report published by Phandroid, said that there wouldn’t be an HTC U13 next year. Instead, the Taiwanese phone maker would release “something else”. HTC has released an official response, debunking the statement.

While HTC didn’t explicitly say when the HTC U13 will launch, they did say that emphasis will be placed on 5G network technologies. It said it will build smartphones that will work with the new communication technology and will also focus on AI, blockchain and other technologies in the future. HTC also said it is still invested in virtual reality and its applications.

HTC U12+

This year, HTC did things a bit differently and it appears it will continue to make changes to its business next year. While other manufacturers released flagships in the first quarter, HTC announced mid-range phones like the HTC U11 Eyes, the HTC Desire 12+ and Desire 12.

When it eventually announced its flagship in May, it was called the HTC U12+. Usually, HTC would launch a non-plus variant first and then follow it with the Plus variant towards the end of the year but for 2018, the Plus variant launched first and there was no non-plus model.

The Realme U1 is an upcoming smartphone from Realme. The phone will be the first device launched following the manufacturer’s recent rebranding. It has also been confirmed to be the first phone to come with MediaTek‘s new Helio P70 chipset.

Ahead of its official release on November 28, a photo comparing its AnTuTu score to that of two of its rivals – the Redmi Note 6 Pro and the Honor 8X has appeared on the web.

Realme U1 AnTuTu

The Realme U1 is on the far right and appears as the RMX1833, the same model number as when it was seen on Geekbench. The Honor 8X is in the middle (JSN-AL00a) and the Redmi Note 6 Pro is on the right.

As you can see, the Helio P70-powered Realme U1 scored 145,021 points, beating the Kirin 710 by over 5,000 points and the Redmi Note 6 Pro by about 30,000 points. A breakdown of the score shows that the phone scored highest in the GPU test but comes after the Kirin 710 in CPU, UX, and memory tests.

Although the benchmark result doesn’t show some of the specs of the device, the image reveals the phone will have a waterdrop notch like the Realme 2 Pro.

In other news, live images of the phone’s retail box have also surfaced online. The photos show the realme U1 will come in a black recycled cardboard box with “U1” and “realme” written in the brand’s new yellow font. There is also Realme U1 written on the side of the box.

Here is a comparison between Honor 10 Lite, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Mate 20 Lite, the latest Lite phones which offer a satisfying experience at a very attractive price.

Design

The phone with the most modern and futuristic design is the Honor 10 Lite. Thanks to its waterdrop notch it has the less visible bezels, it sports a very elegant glass back and you can even get it in two different gradient color variants. I like Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite but not as much as Honor 10 Lite because of its bigger notch. Huawei Mate 20 Lite’s notch is even bigger and its backside is sober but nothing special in terms of look.

 

Display

Whatever you choose, you will get more or less the same quality for the display. All of these handsets feature a classic IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution, a sufficient color reproduction, and an average brightness. Huawei Mate 20 Lite is slightly better than its opponents thanks to its additional LTPS technology which usually makes brightness or viewing angles better.

 

Specs & Software

Talking about performance, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the most convincing one because it has a slightly better SoC: the octa-core Snapdragon 660 chipset by Qualcomm. The difference between this chipset and the Kirin 710 is more evident when it comes to graphics performance, so especially gaming, because of the more powerful GPU of the Snapdragon 660. But note that Honor 10 Lite is the only one to come with Android Pie out of the box, while its opponents are still based on Oreo.

 

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 Lite offers more impressive camera performances with its wide angle main camera which is also equipped with a depth sensor doing its job well. It captures an astonishing level of detail when light conditions are good, and it even has a dual front camera with a wide angle lens and a depth sensor. So, even when it comes to selfies, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is able to click better shots.

 

Battery

At last, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is better even on the battery side. It can last more on a single charge thanks to its bigger 3750 mAh unit. Honor 10 Lite is the most disappointing one as its battery has just 3000 mAh of capacity and it does not even feature a fast charging technology.

 

Price

Thanks to its better camera and battery, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is the superior device in this trio, but it also costs more. At the moment you have to spend more or less €300/$341 to get it, while Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (second place for it) costs less than €240/$273 globally and Honor 10 Lite costs €175/$199 in China (it is still not in the global market).

Huami CEO reveals a “Revolutionary” Smart Wearable coming in 2019

By

Back in February 2018, Huami filed its IPO at the New York Stock Exchange, ushering a new era in its existence. The company CEO, Huang Wang, was present at the TechCrunch Shenzhen summit a couple of days back where he shared some key details about the company and its operations.

While taking at the event, Mr. Wang revealed that Huami will launch a “Revolutionary” wearable smart device in 2019. Unfortunately, he didn’t divulge any more information about the upcoming gadget. But judging from his comments at the event, where he stated that “smartwatches will replace smartphones in the future”, we could be looking at something really exciting from the company. If you remember, back at IFA, Nubia showed off its Nubia Alpha concept wearable, which was essentially a smartphone on the wrist. Huami could be aiming to release a similar smart device next year, but as of now, this is just a speculation.

Huami’s latest smartwatch, Amazfit Verge

Talking about the recently released Huangshan -1 chip for wearables, Mr. Wang added that it can screen the HR patterns of users via cloud-based AI. This helps to monitor the user’s heart rate carefully and check for any unusual patterns. Moreover, it looks like Huami is aiming to get the Huangshan – 1 chip on other wearable manufacturers in the market as well. So, it won’t be just limited to the company’s own smartwatches.

 

 

He also gave out some essential sales figures about the company’s recent devices. Until 2017, Huami’s total sales surpassed 18.1 million and user base was well above 56.1 million. Further, the recently released Mi Band 3 has managed to sell more than 10K units in the past five months alone. Even the Mi Band 2, which enjoyed a long stay in the market (Mi Band 3 had a pretty late release), sold more than 30 million units worldwide. Note that these figures are before the 11/11 singles day, where both these devices could have garnered a lot more sales.

Mr. Wang also added that just like Xiaomi, Huami too does not want to be tagged as a hardware company. He said that people consider Huami to be a hardware firm, however, the company positions itself as a sports and health big data firm. If you recall, time and again Xiaomi has positioned itself as an internet company, and not a hardware company. Further talking about Huami’s relationship with Xiaomi, he adds that both the companies work very closely and have interconnected ecosystems.

 

 

Finally, he revealed that the company’s overseas operations have been quite strong and Europe is now its second biggest market after China.
