Aug 29, 2018

A fresh GFXBench listing of the Samsung Galaxy S9+ has surfaced today. What’s interesting about the listing is that the handset has been spotted with Android 9 Pie OS.

Google had released the retail edition of the Android 9.0 Pie update on Aug. 6. Some of the non-Google devices that were enrolled beta testing program of the Android 9 Pie OS such as Nokia 7 Plus, Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S and Essential Phone have already received the new update. The upcoming Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones that are expected to go official on Oct. 9 will be the first phones to arrive with Android 9 Pie OS preinstalled. Now that the GFXBench listing of the Galaxy S9+ with Android Pie has surfaced today, it appears that Samsung could be testing the latest version of Android for it.

Samsung is known for heavily customized Android OS with its Samsung Experience UI. Since the benchmarking platform is unable to detect Samsung’s custom ROM, it is mentioned as “INVALID Android Samsung-ss Edition.” The South Korean has been always slow at rolling out OS updates.

The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are the first Samsung phones with Project Treble support that promises faster Android software updates. Hence, the Galaxy S9 duo could soon receive Android 9 Pie OS upgrade. Once the OS update arrives to these phones, the Note 9 could be next in line to get treated with the new OS update.

IFA Berlin doesn’t officially start until August 31 but manufacturers are already at the event and have begun announcing products. Acer is one of the early starters and has announced a new Mixed Reality headset called the Acer OJO (pronounced as oho) 500.

The Acer OJO 500 is the first Mixed Reality headset and VR headset with a detachable design. Unlike other headsets, the OJO 500’s lens and head strap can be separated. This makes it easy to clean and comes in handy where one has to share it with multiple users. You also don’t have to completely remove the headset if you need to answer your phone or pause whatever you are doing to interact with the real world as the front can simply be raised up.

The headset has two types of head straps. There is a soft one that can be washed (limited number of times) and a hard one that is extra-padded. Irrespective of the one you get, the headset should fit comfortably.

To adjust the distance between the pupils and the screen, there is a wheel for doing that. There is also a special app, Acer IPD Meter, which works with the Acer IPD Indicator software to allow for greater control when adjusting the interpupillary distance (IPD).

The Acer OJO 500 has two 2.89” LCD displays with a 2880 x 1440 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Unlike Acer’s other MR headset, this one has a deep blue color.

It connects to a Mixed Reality PC via HDMI 2.0 while data is transmitted via USB 3.0. Acer says once it is connected, it downloads the required software and can be ready to use in just 10 minutes. There are two cameras in front for 6DoF so you can move in all directions, pitch, roll, and yaw. A 13ft HDMI cable is bundled with the headset to allow movement within a wider range. For audio, there are sound pipes for spatial audio or you can use the built-in headphones with the hard strap.

If you already own a Mixed Reality headset, you do not need to get the motion controllers but you may want to purchase the Windows 10 button touchpad or the grab button for interacting with digital objects.

Rugged smartphone manufacturer AGM has announced its latest smartphone, the AGM X3. Unlike other rugged smartphones, the AGM X3 packs similar specs as other 2018 flagships.

AGM X3 Design

Rugged smartphones are generally not good-looking which shouldn’t be surprising as looks are the last thing on the manufacturer’s mind. The AGM X3 tries to look good while maintaining its strength.

There are two versions of the phone – one with a curved anti-drop back cover and another with crocodile skin. AGM says they have been able to reduce the thickness of the device by 25% and the weight by 13.6% when compared to the previous model to make it more appealing.

AGM claims the X3 is the strongest rugged phone on the planet. It has a floating frame and has a three-proof design (waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof from a height of 1.5m). It also has a MIL-STD-810G certification and can survive extreme low (-30°C) and high temperatures (60°C).

AGM X3 Specs

The X3 packs a 5.99-inch 18:9 display covered with Gorilla Glass 5. The display is said to have up to 500 nits of brightness. Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 845 processor paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

There are two cameras on the back of the phone- a 12MP sensor paired with a 24MP sensor both with f/1.8 apertures. It also has a 20MP front-facing camera with AI optimization. A fingerprint scanner sits below the dual rear cameras.

The AGM X3 supports Wi-Fi 2×2 MIMO and dual-SIM dual-VoLTE. There is also Bluetooth 5.0 and a USB-C port. The phone has dual SIM support and uses a hybrid SIM tray which lets you use two SIM cards at once or a SIM card and MicroSD card. Under the hood is a 4,100mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging, though it comes bundled with a Quick Charge 3.0 adapter.

The phone has stereo speakers on the back supplied by JBL which are up to 98db loud – twice that of other smartphones. There is also a smart PA audio chip inside the device.

The AGM X3 runs X OS which is based on Android 8.1 Oreo. No information was released about when it would be updated to Android 9 Pie.

LG Q7 goes official in India but it may be coming too late

Aug 29, 2018

LG‘s fortune in the global smartphone market has not been as rosy lately as that of fellow South Korean phone maker and market leader Samsung. The company’s market share and profit margin have both continued to slump for the past successive quarters. That notwithstanding, the company continues to release new smartphones in the various category. The budget segment saw the launch of the LG Q7 alongside the Q7 Plus and Q7 Alpha. Roughly three months after, the Korean firm has launched the budget Q7 in India. The smartphone comes with an Rs. 15,990 price tag which is about $228. It will be available across retail outlets starting September 1.

The LG Q7 takes over from last year’s Q6 but this time it is fitted with a 5.5-inch FullVision Display with a resolution of 1080×2160 pixels and an 18:9 aspect ratio. The device is powered by an Octa-core MediaTek MT6750S chipset clocked at 1.5Ghz. The processor is paired with 3GB of RAM while there is 32GB of expandable storage onboard.

For photography, the Q7 packs a 13MP sensor with a large f2.2 aperture and PDAF while at the front, there is an 8MP sensor with an f1.9 aperture. Both the front and back cameras can record 1080p video. The Q7 crams a 3000mAh battery with Quick Charge under its hood and runs Android Oreo out of the box. The phone comes in two colours; Aurora Black and Moroccan Blue and will be available across retail outlets in India as from September 1 Rs. 15,990 (~$228). This price point put it in direct competition with the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and Nokia 6.1 Plus. We doubt if the Q7 will be able to edge them out because they come with a more powerful SoC and have gained solid footings since their launch. We must point out, though, that the Q7 has an awesome design going for it. LG may introduce the Q7 Plus with a similar design but having a Snapdragon 450 processor in the near future.

Aug 29, 2018

The Mr Bond M1 Smart Dryer was launched under crowdfunding on Xiaomi Youpin at the beginning of last month. The product comes in two variants, the M1 and M1 Pro Smart Dryer. While the M1 Smart Dryer is priced at 899 yuan (~$136), the M1 Pro model had a crowdfunding price of 1299 yuan (~$196). The good news is the amazing product are now on open sale on Xiaomi Youpin albeit, at slightly higher price tags. Currently, the Mr Bond M1 Smart Clothes Dryer has a 1099 yuan (~$161) price tag while the M1 Pro retails for 1,499 yuan ($220).

The Mr Bond M1 Smart Dryer comes with a spectacular design which is its biggest selling point. The design allows t to be used even if you live in a compact apartment where there isn’t much space. The Xiaomi clothe dryer is built to be attached to the ceiling of your apartment and measures 1690 x 496 x 156 mm when fully extended sideways. If the gadget is folded, it adopts a dimension of 1000 x 316 x 73 mm. As noted earlier, it is available in two variants dubbed Mr Bond M1 and Mr Bond M1 Pro Smart dryer and the difference lies in the presence of an electric heating filament and fans that blow hot air to your laundry to dry them faster. This feature is absent in the M1 model.

Both models come with a machine operated mechanical lift which is operated via a button switch that controls the extension or distention of the rack and dryer from the ceiling mount. The lift can be extended downwards up to 1200mm at the press of a button while the dryer on the M1 Pro can be extended by hand up to 940mm. The dryer can hold clothes with a maximum weight of 30kg. Both models come with LED lighting designed in such a way that stacking clothes on the rack does obstruct the view. The product is a smart gadget as it can be controlled directly from a smartphone via the Mi Home app.

We don’t have any idea if Xiaomi plans to launch this product for the global market but we doubt if that will happen anytime soon. At best, interested buyers from outside China will have to shell out the premium price tag such products carry when offered on third-party retailers like GearBest, Banggood etc. For those in China, the Mr Bond M1 Smart Clothes Dryer and M1 Pro are presently available to buy on the Xiaomi Youpin website.
