According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, the Watch Fit 3 is expected to launch sometime after the Spring Festival in 2024. It will feature a 2.5D rectangular screen and allegedly a “flagship-level crown” on the left side of the watch.

Renders of the smartwatch surfaced earlier this week and the design is a complete departure from its predecessor. It looks strikingly similar to the Apple Watch instead.

Aside from the outer design refresh, the smartwatch is also tipped to undergo a substantial change in the user interface (UI) aspect.

The tipster suggest the watch will have major UI modifications based on the latest version of HarmonyOS for wearables. Although not specified, we’re guessing that the Watch Fit 3 might come pre-installed with HarmonyOS 4.2 or even the upcoming HarmonyOS NEXT.

The revamped UI could include smoother animations, increased space for app icons, larger fonts, and a wider selection of watch faces. However, official confirmation regarding these changes remains pending.

There’s also a good chance the Watch Fit 3 might launch in both domestic China and international markets. Nevertheless, details regarding key specifications, pricing, and internal features are yet to surface.

With time, we can expect more details and leaks about the Huawei Watch Fit 3 to surface. We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop as new developments come to light.

Apr 27, 2024

Good news for Windows 10 users! Microsoft will continue sending regular updates until the operating system reaches its end of life in October 2025. Here’s the best part: these updates will be smaller in size, resulting in faster downloads and installations.

Windows 10 is using techniques from Windows 11 for more efficient packaging

While Windows 10 doesn’t have many new features coming its way, Microsoft is taking steps to streamline the update process. They’re borrowing a technique from Windows 11 that involves more efficient packaging and removing unnecessary elements from the update package. This will significantly reduce the file size without compromising on the core functionality or security patches.

Think of it as a more optimized way to deliver the essential updates you need. Windows 10 users will continue to receive the monthly Latest Cumulative Update (LCU) but in a smaller package.

If you’re sticking with Windows 10 for now, make sure your PC has the Windows 10 July 23, 2023 update (KB5028244) installed. Additionally, download and install the Servicing Stack Update (SSU) KB5031539 to ensure compatibility with these new, optimized updates.

RealFill: Google’s recent trademark for AI image expansion

By

Erencan Yılmaz

Apr 27, 2024

AI is now everywhere in our lives and most of the tech companies are introducing their AI-based products. In a new trademark that Google applied for, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the US Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) revealed that they are working on a project called “RealFill”.

AI needs more of your images to give better results

Android Authority team points out that RealFill won’t be a downloadable software; similar to Google‘s Magic Editor in Pixel phones, all your edits are actually not processed on-device but made on Google’s own servers.

This future AI feature is essentially similar to Adobe’s “Generative Fill” feature, although Google appears to be trying to get rid of any imperfections in photos. With RealFill, users will be able to generate entirely new image by using five previously taken photos as a base. You will somewhat train the AI algorithm with your previously taken 5 different images, and then the AI will apply the image expansion on your target image.

Google’s AI algorithm in development aims to create a more accurate image expansion with the different images users provide. Thus, instead of creating random objects unexpectedly during the expand process, the algorithm will generate much more realistic images by referencing users’ base images.

RealFill hasn’t been publicly released yet, but it comes with some limitations. Unwanted outcomes could appear in the final image if there are significant differences between the target image and the images used as references that the user provided. It is obvious from the shared RealFill demos that the base photos are extremely similar to one another; in fact, we could say that they are just different angles on the same scene. You can visit RealFill website to see more.

Currently, there are many image expansion solutions available powered by AI, although they sometimes work well, most of the time they can result in a disappointment. It’s unknown when Google will release RealFill to the public; perhaps we might see this feature in the Pixel 9 series, but for now, everything is very unclear.

Features

The Xiaomi MIJIA Night Light 3 has a round appearance, unlike its predecessor which delivered direct light. It adopts a back-illumination scheme with adjustable angles and uses the diffusion reflection principle to evenly scatter natural light. The soft light effect fully creates a comfortable illumination of the room. There are two levels of light – high and low, and this can be easily selected to suit your mood.

The MIJIA Night Light 3 has a photosensitive plus human body dual sensor with a sensing angle of up to 120 degrees. The forward sensing distance is 5 meters while the two sides are 3 meters. The Night Light 3 is equipped with a 600mAh battery and can be charged via USB-C with a full charge taking 3 hours to complete. Remarkably, the light can last for up to 8 months on low brightness mode. The light has a brightness adjustment button as well as adjustable hidden buttons. The hidden buttons can be turned off, put always on, or put on sensor mode.

The Xiaomi MIJIA Night Light 3 has built-in magnets which makes the installation of the light easy on metal surfaces. It has a 3M adhesive base for a firmer placement on surfaces.

Pricing & Availability

The Xiaomi MIJIA Night Light 3 is available on Xiaomi Mall with a retail price of 59 yuan ($8). Likely, the new MIJIA Night Light 3 will subsequently be available in several other markets outside China.

Apr 27, 2024

There have been more hints about the upcoming Meizu 21 Note lately. We know that Meizu is working on a new phone Meizu 21 Note and the upcoming smartphone’s 3C certification actually confirmed the unveiling of the phone.

Meizu 21 Note’s appearance in the 3C certification actually revealed the phone’s battery specs, as the phone has 66W fast charging support and a 5500 mAh capacity battery. In addition, the phone is expected to debut with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, while the standard Meizu 21 and Meizu 21 Pro have Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

More details on display of upcoming Meizu 21 Note

According to the latest details shared by DCS, a tech blogger on Weibo, the Meizu 21 Note will come with a flat display, and the back cover of the phone is glass and the phone features a metal mid-frame. Another detail shared about the screen is that the screen bezels will be quite thin just like flagship Meizu phones.

This is actually a Meizu classic, and Meizu is once again working on a design with a white screen frame. According to DCS’s recent post, Meizu 21 Note will come with two different screen bezels, black and white. DCS also notes that the upcoming Meizu 21 Note feels quite premium and has better materials compared to other mid-range devices.

Meizu offers both black and white screen bezels in the already unveiled Meizu 21 model. While black bezels are available in green, white bezels are offered in the white model. Many companies have abandoned making white bezel phones but we can say that this design approach is truly aesthetic, although relatively less appealing than curved displays anyway. OEMs are now focusing on flat displays with super thin bezels.
