Huami, a wearable devices making company from China and fitness startup Studio have partnered to launch a connected treadmill. During Huami’s keynote at CES 2020, the company announced its new Amazfit HomeStudio treadmill.

The first thing you’ll notice on the Amazfit HomeStudio is the lack of traditional front panel/dashboard. Instead of that, the user can control the device using smartphone which the content is delivered to a separate, vertically-oriented 43-inch HD screen that the companies are calling the Glass.

The Glass is a giant phone-like device that seems like a smart mirror. It also includes a camera that can analyze the user’s movements with computer vision. For those who are worried about the privacy issue, there’s a slide piece that can cover the camera sensor.

The company has introduced two models of the device — a premium model that uses slat belt technology and can reach speeds of up to 12mph. Then there’s AirRun, which a foldable version that reaches a top speed of 9 mph.

It also offers classes through the glass, enabling users to access a library of 1,000 classes across a wide variety of exercises. Also, not all the exercises are treadmill-based as it offers options to participate in yoga, sculpt and stretching classes on the floor.

Basically, Amazfit HomeStudio combines Studio’s content with Huami’s hardware expertise, and it integrates with Huami devices and other wearables to track heart rate. While treadmill is best for running, the Glass also offers several interesting classes.

Huami has said that the pricing details and availability information for the Amazfit HomeStudio will be revealed soon. While it has not revealed the pricing details, it said that the price “will delight US customers.”

After building the hype around the Concept One smartphone, OnePlus has finally announced it at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020. A recent teaser had suggested that the Concept One is a product built by OnePlus in collaboration with McLaren that is well-known for making supercars. Some rumors had claimed that it could be a foldable device from the company, but the concept model appears like a regular smartphone from the front and it sports a leather rear with invisible triple cameras on the rear. Being a concept model, the company may never sell OnePlus Concept One smartphone.

The OnePlus Concept One looks like the OnePlus 7T Pro as it features a notch-less display and a pop-up selfie camera. The only two major features of the Concept One is its color-shifting glass technology for the triple cameras and its leather rear.

The rear design of the Concept One is inspired by McLaren 720S Spider sports car. The backside of the device features Papaya Orange stitched leather and it features an aluminum alloy frame. The latter is built with a new vapor deposition process which allows to sport a shiny gold finish.

Above the OnePlus logo on the rear, there is a vertical triple camera system that is neatly tucked under an electrochromic glass. When a current is applied to glass, it can swiftly change from opaque to transparent. This special type of glass is used for sunroofs of some luxury cars, airplane windows and also for buildings where it used as a walls and windows.

On the OnePlus Concept One, the triple camera setup remains invisible under the electrochromic glass. However, when the camera is turned on, the three sensors become instantly visible. When the camera app is closed, the triple cameras again become invisible. According to the company, it takes only 0.7 seconds for the glass to transition from transparent to opaque or vice versa. As it can be seen in the official video, the electrochromic glass only covers the triple cameras, while the rest is covered by stitched leather.

The other good thing about this technology is that the glass can also become semi-transparent. In this state, it can act as a neutral density filter that can assist in capturing better shots in very bright sunlight. OnePlus claims that the Concept One make use of the most advanced electrochromic ever manufactured. It comprises of two 0.1mm glass panels between which is the organic material. The combined thickness of both glass is only 0.35mm and it uses negligible power to function.

Flagship phones these days come with four to five rear mounted cameras. A phone with too many cameras on its rear may appear less appealing. With the technology that was showcased by OnePlus on the Concept One, the multiple lenses of the phone can remain invisible.

According to OnePlus CEO and founder Pete Lau, “This concept phone is a significant experiment into the future form of smartphones. OnePlus started this initiative with the goal of bringing the “burdenless” user experience to the next level. The invisible camera stands as a new form of camera design, one that spares the user from the compromises of current camera layouts.”

Established companies like Samsung and LG continue to grow, while Chinese brands like Hisense and TCL have been making pretty big splashes for a while now.

Measuring a mere 4.6mm at its thinnest point, the W81 series TV is very much a direct competition to Samsung’s Frame TV and LG Wallpaper TV, it attaches to the wall of your living room with the help of a powerful magnetic fixture and an invisible wall mount for stability.

On top of that, Skyworth has also introduced its very first 8K TV at its CES 2020 global launch today, while the company might be late to the 8K TV game, it simply wants their TVs to be ready at the right time where 8K content is readily available, as it has partnered with two content services back in China to offer 8K content to customers.

The 75-inch Q91 8K IPS LED screen features an powerful MediaTek S900C SoC coupled with 8.5GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, it is capable of doing hardware decoding up to 60fps  along with an 8K AI Image Processing Engine that performs digital signal processing to upscale videos in real-time to 120fp and 8K resolution.

The 8K-packing 75-inch Q91 will sell for $5,999 while the 65-inch W81 and 65-inch W81 Pro OLEDs will retail for $3,599 and $4,599, respectively. The 77-inch W81 on the other hand has not been priced. Skyworth claims that they plan to bring both these products to the US in 2020.

The post Skyworth unveils new W81 wallpaper TV and Q91 8K TV, announces plans to enter US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in April, Samsung announced a rotating TV called ‘The Sero.’ Like Microsoft’s Surface Hub 2, the screen can swivel between a conventional landscape setup and portrait orientation that’s optimized for smartphone-centric content like Snapchat, Instagram Stories and TikToks. Samsung even says it’s designed with Millennials in mind.

At this year’s CES, Samsung announced the Samsung Sero is officially coming to the U.S. The 43-inch TV comes equipped with a 4K display and 60-watt speakers built into the stand. It’ll also be available on wheels, just in case you want to transport this bad boy from room to room. Its ability to rotate makes sense considering how much video is filmed vertically these days.

So how does it work? Once you sync your smartphone to the TV,  you can cast content from your phone. It also works with AirPlay, so those with iPhones aren’t left out. Every time you flip the orientation of your phone, the TV automatically follows suit. Seeing it switch back and forth during demos does make it seem pretty cool and interesting.

When it’s not in use, it also doubles as a decoration piece. You can use it as a digital photo frame or a clock. There’s also the option to use it as a giant speaker to stream music on. Samsung has yet to release information on price and availability, but we’ll keep you updated as soon it’s revealed.
