In-car radio FM transmitters are usually large, unmanageable gadgets with LED display placed in the center console of a vehicle. Several manufacturers these days are trying to deviate from this trend since it requires buttons, display, and dials to allow users to switch between different FM settings and stream their music over the radio waves.

While FM transmitters have been the most common in-car technology for quite a long time, more and more vehicles are now being fitted with Bluetooth audio as standard. Touted as one of the best Bluetooth car chargers, the tiny ROIDMI 3S Bluetooth Car Charger from Xiaomi is a dual 5V 2.4A USB socket that streams FM audio to your car radio.

Currently available on GearBest at a discounted price, the ROIDMI 3S Bluetooth Car Charger makes your driving journey more convenient by offering fast charge speed for your electronic devices with a 3.4A output, coupled with the Bluetooth MP3 player function that lets you enjoy your favorite music on the way.

Contrary to a lot of FM transmitters available on the market today that comes with bendy cable mounts, USB sockets, buttons or displays, the ROIDMI 3S Bluetooth Car Charger uses just your smartphone and an app.

While the market is brimming with all sorts of steeply-priced Bluetooth music car chargers, you can buy this feature-laden ROIDMI 3S Bluetooth Music Car Charger at a dropped price of just $13.99 on GearBest. This is a noteworthy 17% reduction in the device’s original asking price.

Nubia Red Magic 2 is coming: will have Snapdragon 845 and shoulder buttons

By

-

Sep 2, 2018

Apart from notches being the trend this year, some manufacturers also jumped on the gaming smartphone train. One of them is Nubia with its Red Magic gaming smartphone.

The Nubia Red Magic has a nice design and packs impressive specs save for having last year’s Snapdragon 835 processor instead of the new Snapdragon 845. The older processor means it can’t match the performance of other gaming smartphones such as Xiaomi‘s Black Shark and ASUS‘ ROG gaming phone.

If the older processor is what’s putting you off from buying it, then you may be pleased to learn that Nubia is working on a successor which we will refer to as the Red Magic 2. The info comes from Roland Quandt.

Nubia Redmagic actually seems pretty nice for 449 Euro with SDM835, 8/128GB and all the other fancy stuff. Btw: new Redmagic device w/ Snapdragon 845 and shoulder buttons is in the works. pic.twitter.com/m64KS9LTfk

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) September 2, 2018

In a tweet earlier today, he revealed that a new Red Magic device with a Snapdragon 845 is in the works. However, a new processor isn’t the only new thing. It will also have shoulder buttons.

There is no info on when the new phone will launch but Nubia will do well to launch it this year because doing so next year will just mean repeating the same pattern as this year’s model.

No Pixel smartwatch(es) this year says Google

Sep 2, 2018

If you have been putting off purchasing a new smartwatch due to news of Google launching its own this year, you may have to reconsider your decision. A new report has revealed that Google will not be launching a Pixel-branded smartwatch(es) or any smartwatch at all.

The report comes from an exclusive interview between tech blog Tom’s Guide Caitlin McGarry and Google’s Director of Wear OS, Miles Barr. Quoting Mr. Barr when asked about Google releasing a Pixel watch “To think of a one-size-fits-all watch, I don’t think we’re there yet. Our focus is on our partners for now.”

Google says its working with partners instead of making its own watch and some of the results of the partnership is the presence of heart rate sensors and NFC chips in new smartwatches. Other ways Google is said to be partnering with its partners is in design improvement.

In the interview, Mr. Barr says a likely Pixel watch will be heavily reliant on the Google Assistant so as to “integrate AI and machine learning into the device, which is Google’s forte”. Google will roll out a new version of Wear OS soon and the Google Assistant is expected to be a big part of it.

Apart from that, Google is also considering ditching version numbers when it comes to Wear OS. So, rather than waiting a whole year for the big update that brings new features and improvements, updates will come much earlier and regularly. We don’t know if this will begin with the new update coming soon but don’t be surprised if it isn’t called Wear OS 3.0.

To further confirm that there will be no Pixel watch(es), Tom’s Guide contacted Google and a PR representative confirmed that the tech giant will not be releasing its own watch this year.

Sep 1, 2018

Almost a month ago, Samsung decided to join Amazon, Google, and Apple in the smart speakers club by unveiling the Galaxy Home. Now, at IFA 2018, even Huawei has announced its first smart speaker: its name is AI Cube. Even though it was made by the world’s second largest Android smartphone manufacturer, unlike Google Home, this smart speaker is not powered by Google Assistant, but it counts on Amazon Alexa just like Echo speakers. Thanks to it, it will be able to listen to the user’s vocal commands to answer questions, control smart home appliances, stream music and much more, by basing on a library with over 50,000 skills.

The new Huawei AI Cube will also double as a 4G router as it supports a 4G SIM tray with a max download speed of 300 Mbps, as well as dual band Wi-Fi network with speeds up to 1,200 Mbps. Despite all these features, the smart speaker does not renounce to the audio quality with its 400 ml sound cavity and the Histen tech providing virtual bass and adaptive gain control. According to the Chinese giant, it has high audio quality with deep bass and clear mid and high frequencies.

Alongside Huawei AI Cube, the company has also unveiled Huawei Locator, a small locator which relies on GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou signals to offer real-time geolocation of the user. This is very useful in case of emergencies and in places which are not reached by the telephone line. Further, it is fully waterproof thanks to the IP68 certification, so you can also bring it with you if you go swimming. It sports an SOS button which works while the locator is connected to a smartphone with a maximum distance of 10 meters. At the moment, there is still no info about pricing and availability of Huawei AI Cube and Locator.

Palm ‘Pepito’ to be world’s smallest phone with smallest battery

Sep 1, 2018

Recent leaks and reports have confirmed multiple times that Palm is planning a comeback in the smartphones market. In case you don’t know, this manufacturer hasn’t released a phone since 2011. According to a fresh report on AnroidPolice, this will be the smallest phone in the world but also the one with the smallest battery. From what sources are suggesting, it will sport a 3.3-inch display showing images at an HD resolution and a battery with a capacity of just 800 mAh. Even though the display is very small and it has a low resolution (so it will not consume a lot of energy), with a such a small small battery we do not expect the upcoming Palm phone to have a long battery life, especially if we consider its rumored specs.

But we also have to admit that in this sized phone there isn’t any room left for inserting a big battery. According to rumors, the phone is actually in the works and it is codenamed Pepito. It will be equipped with a low-end chipset: the octa-core Snapdragon 435 by Qualcomm. Despite being an entry-level SoC, this chipset is perfectly able to run Android in its standard edition: indeed, from what leaks suggested, this phone will not run Android Go.

The chipset is expected to be paired with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, but reports do not exclude the arrival of different memory configuration. Unfortunately, there will not be a headphone jack on the Palm Pepito. The device is expected to be released in 2018 in at least two color variants: titanium and gold. It is speculated that it will be launched in the U.S. market through the known carrier Verizon, while there is no info about it coming to other markets at the moment.

OPPO launched the F9 Pro last week in India, and it officially went on sale for the first time today. The device was immediately up for preorder after the launch and that was exclusively on Flipkart. However, the open sales of the OPPO F9 Pro have commenced in India and it is available not just on Flipkart, but also it can be purchased from various retailers such as Amazon India, and PayTM Mall.

This is quite different from the sales pattern we see lately where a new release is only available from one retailer. The phone is available for INR 23,990 ($338) on all platforms since there is only a 6GB + 64GB model. Also, you get the options of Sunrise Red and Twilight Blue colour variants.

Since the Huawei P20 Pro was announced in March this year, the device has had a rollercoaster ride in terms of sales. The figures have been streaming in, enabling the company to coast past Apple to emerge as the second largest smartphone vendor globally. That is because the P20 Pro came out as Huawei’s best smartphones to date. Four months after, the company has refreshed the model with four new attractive colour options. The new colour variants were showcased at IFA 2018. We bring you the colour options, thanks to GSMArena.

Two of the four new colours come with a cool leather texture. There is an Elegant Black as well as a Gold Brown variant which is manufactured using a plastic/polycarbonate back panel wrapped with genuine Italian calfskin. The Huawei logo, as well as the Leica badge, are embossed on the back.

The third colour option is a Pearl White variant similar to the White variant of the Honor 10. The variant utilises a glass back which is covered by Gorilla Glass. Finally, the fourth colour variant looks very much to the Twilight aurora variant of the P20 Pro but this one is called Morphon Aurora and it has a more violet hue instead of an aquamarine-greenish hue. There is absolutely no change in the front panel of all four colour options.

[envira-gallery id=”209267″]

The internals of the new Huawei P20 Pro variants still retains a Kirin 970 chipset at the driving seat. The glass variants are available in 6GB+128GB memory while the leather variants come in a new 8GB+256GB memory. All other specs remain the same. As for the price, the Glass variants will retail for €899, while the leather variants sell for €999 and that is because of the higher storage rather than the leather back. Huawei will make all versions available in Europe via major offline and online retailers from September 5.

Live photos and specs reveal the Pixel 3 may be the preferred model this year

Aug 31, 2018

Ever since Google launched the Pixel line, it has always released two smartphones. This year will be no different. There will be the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL. However, the former has sort of been in hiding until today.

A redditor has posted hands-on images of the smaller 3rd generation Pixel and we think this may be the preferred model when Google officially announces the two phones.

The first thing you notice about the Pixel 3 is the display. Gone are the extra thick bezels of the Pixel 2. It now rocks an 18:9 display which thankfully doesn’t have a notch like that of the Pixel 3 XL. Although the bezels are not the smallest we have seen on phones with notch-less 18:9 displays.

The display is said to be 5.5-inches with a 2160 x 1080 resolution. The Pixel 3 also has stereo front-facing cameras just like its predecessor and will come with dual front-facing cameras (both are 8MP).

The back of the phone is different too. It still has a dual-tone finish but the whole length of the back is covered in glass – glossy glass at the top (camera area) and frosted glass at the bottom. There is a single camera on the rear just like that of the Pixel 3 XL and a fingerprint scanner too. Another image shows that the power button and volume rocker are on the right-hand side.

The Pixel 3 will come with a Snapdragon 845 processor with 4GB of RAM. It will also have a 2915mAh battery as shown in one of the images. Since the Pixel 3 has a full-glass back we believe it will also support wireless charging.
