Realme has a new Bluetooth speaker, actually, this is its first one, and it packs some pretty interesting features. The Realme Cobble Bluetooth Speaker as it is called is a cute little speaker that was announced a few days ago in Malaysia.

Shaped like a cobble, the speaker comes in Metal Black and Electric Blue. The black variant has the manufacturer’s name printed on the grille while the blue one has a camouflage pattern. Also, only the blue one has a luminous lanyard that glows in the dark.

The Realme Cobble Bluetooth Speaker has an IPX5 rating which means it will survive splashes and sprinkles. Just make sure that the flap covering the USB-C port is properly closed.

The speaker has a 5W dynamic driver that is paired with a passive bass radiator for deeper bass and clearer and more powerful sound. There are two buttons on the speaker – one is the power button and the other allows you to switch between three equalizer presets. Owners can also pair two units of the speaker together for stereo sound.

Another interesting feature of the speaker is its Game Mode. This is not a feature common in Bluetooth speakers but realme has added it to its own. According to the manufacturer, the latency drops to as low as 88ms when in Game Mode.

The speaker connects via Bluetooth 5.0, supports AAC and SBC codecs, and also works with the Realme Link app so you can manage the speaker. The Realme Cobble Bluetooth Speaker has a 1500mAh battery capacity and should last up to 9 hours on a single charge.

Details about pricing and availability are yet to be disclosed.

OxygenOS from OnePlus is regarded as one of the best custom skins for Android smartphones. This is because the company takes customer feedback seriously and rolls out features that the users demand.

In line with that, the company has revealed that it will soon be adding floating window support to the Gaming Mode on OxygenOS. Users of the OnePlus 7 series devices will be able to use the feature with the next beta version of the operating system.

OnePlus confirmed this feature through a monthly FAQ post on its forum. Answering a question about the floating window in Gaming Mode, the company said that the “floating window will be accessed through the gaming tools box. In gaming tools box, you can not only get WhatsApp & Instagram floating windows, but also switch on mis-touch prevention, screen recorder, notification and Fnatic Mode.”

This means that even during playing a game, users will be able to respond to messages in WhatsApp and Instagram without having to leave the game. Along with this, the company has also mentioned some bug fixes and improvements with the new update.

While the feature is first coming to the OnePlus 7 and 7T models, the company has confirmed that it will be available for OnePlus 6 and every other smartphone released after that. So, the users of OnePlus 5T and earlier models won’t be getting this feature.

Apart from adding this new feature, the Chinese company is also working on rolling out the latest Android 11 update for the eligible smartphones. Currently, the Android 11 Developer Preview 3 is available for the OnePlus 8 series models.
