Xiaomi has officially launched the Mijia Diffuse Reflection Ceiling Light in China, priced at 1899 yuan ($268). This is currently the most expensive ceiling light in Xiaomi’s Mijia lineup and introduces a new optical system designed for even, eye-friendly lighting across an entire room.

Mijia Diffuse Reflection Ceiling Light Specs

The Xiaomi lamp features an ultra-thin 20cm body that maintains a clean, open ceiling look. It comes with Xiaomi’s custom wide-angle diffuse reflection technology, which directs light at an ultra-wide 170-degree angle. This design helps brighten walls, ceilings, and floors more evenly than conventional ceiling lights.

It supports a peak output of 10000 lumens through a dual light source structure that uses 350 LEDs on the upper panel and 200 LEDs on the lower panel, arranged in a high-density pattern to reduce shadows and maintain clarity during reading, studying, and detailed tasks. Xiaomi says a 16 square meter room reaches an average illuminance of 569 lux.

The light equips TÜV SÜD Zero Glare certification, a photobiological safety exemption rating, and mother and baby grade lighting certification. It sports Xiaomi’s Qingshan Eye Care solution, using full-spectrum lamp beads with a high color rendering index of Ra97, an R9 value of 92, and a color quality score of 97. The spectral profile reaches a sunlight fitting coefficient above 0.985.

The light also comes with a flicker-free design and an RG0 low blue light rating to reduce visual fatigue for children and adults. The micro-structured diffuser softens light output, while the concave optical lower panel filters harsh stray light for a more comfortable viewing experience.

For smart control, it supports Xiaomi HyperOS Connect and integrates with the Mi Home app for brightness control, color temperature adjustments between 2700K and 5700K, personalized wake-up and sleep lighting routines, and voice commands through Xiaomi smart speakers.

It comes with independent upper and lower light control, preset lighting modes, and full scene customization. The ceiling light also equips a night-light mode that produces low, gentle illumination without disturbing sleep.

The lamp supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity and carries a rated input of 220V at 50Hz with a 130W maximum power draw. The product measures 580 by 200 millimeters and weighs around 4 kilograms.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched the Mijia Washer Dryer Set Pro with 12kg + 12kg capacity and HyperOS support, along with a $50 upright vacuum with 22,000Pa suction power.

Light is the company behind the penta-camera setup on Nokia 9 PureView. The firm came into the spotlight when it launched its L16 camera in 2015. It entered the smartphone segment during the development of HMD Global’s 2019 flagship. Now, in 2020,  Light has revealed Android Authority that it has quit this industry.

The camera tech firm’s L16 camera was not much of success just like the Nokia 9 PureView. But soon after the launch of the handset, Light announced a separate partnership with Xiaomi and Sony respectively.

With Xiaomi, it was supposed to develop camera tech for smartphones. Whereas with Sony, it had plans to work with its mobile camera sensors.

But now, as the company has announced to exit the smartphone industry, it is not sure if the above-mentioned partnerships will be continued. Light is yet to give an official statement on the same.

Light had great ambitions for smartphones but its execution was not good enough and thus received poor reviews from media as well as end-users. In fact, the Finnish phone brand has still not released a successor to its last flagship smartphone.

UP NEXT: Nokia 9.3 PureView, Nokia 7.3 and Nokia 6.3 launch date reportedly postponed to Q4

The post Light, the company behind Nokia 9 PureView cameras quits smartphone industry appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Nokia 9 PureView is still the most powerful Nokia phone but definitely not the most powerful phone you can buy now. It recently launched in India, nearly half a year since it was first announced. A report says a successor is coming soon and it is reported to arrive as the Nokia 9.1 Pureview.

According to NokiaPowerUser, the Nokia 9.1 PureView was originally scheduled for a Q3 launch but it has now been pushed forward to Q4 based on info from a source.

The postponement is said to be as a result of some unresolved issues with certain aspects of the phone such as its camera. We hope the delay is worth it, so as to avoid a repeat of the negative reviews the Nokia 9 PureView suffered.

With respect to features and specs, HMD Global will continue its partnership with Light. The camera performance should get a significant improvement especially in low-light and video recording. It is also said to be faster thanks to a better processor and better software algorithms developed with help from Light.

The Nokia 9.1 PureView is also said to feature a punch-hole display like that of the Nokia X71 and there are reports of prototypes with this design. Under the hood of the phone will be a Snapdragon 855 processor. It will also run Android Q out of the box and of course have 5G support. We are not sure if there will be an LTE-only version.

UP NEXT: HMD Global reported to launch Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 in August

The post Nokia 9.1 PureView to launch in Q4: better cameras, Snapdragon 855 and 5G appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, HMD Global launched the much awaited Nokia 9 Pureview flagship in China. It is the world’s first smartphone to feature five cameras at the back and considering the pricing of the device, it’s clear that the Nokia 9 will take on the recently released Huawei P30 Pro.

The new Nokia flagship is priced at 5499 Yuan (~$820) for its 6GB+128GB version in China. What’s interesting is that this makes it more expensive than the 8GB + 128GB (5488 Yuan) variant of the Huawei P30 Pro! This definitely puts the new Nokia flagship in a very tight spot, even if it’s backed by the power of five cameras.

The Nokia 9 Pureview is all about the camera experience. The five cameras at the back are all 12MP f/1.8 sensors and feature Zeiss optics, unsurprisingly. Further, the camera technology is powered by Light, the company known for its 16 lens camera called the L16. The phone takes photos from all the five cameras together and fuses them together to churn out a rich photo sample.

It’s also worth mentioning that this five-camera setup is flat, without any camera bumps. Only two of these cameras are RGB, while three others are monochrome. The trio enables higher light input, resulting in better looking night photos. Further, the phone leverages depth information from all the five cameras to capture samples with some really deep bokeh shots.

Despite the advantages of the Nokia 9 Pureview, one could argue that there are better camera flagships suited for the average camera users. As mentioned above, the Huawei P30 Pro, with its newer and more powerful Kirin 980 chip and a powerful 50X zoom camera comes in cheaper than the Nokia model. So, the phone is in a tough spot in a competitive market like China.

Still, photography enthusiasts will be willing to take its powerful camera setup on a joyride. Did I mention that the phone captures photos in RAW file format alongside JPEG? With the Lightroom app from Adobe installed, professional photographers can do wonders with this setup.

Xiaomi recently released the flagship Mi 9 with a triple camera setup, its first phone with three rear shooters. This is China’s “Apple” keeping up with the trend in camera technology which has seen several OEMs release models with triple, quad and penta cameras. Seems Xiaomi will keep on slapping more sensors on its rear camera setup as it has announced a new partnership with Light, the company reputed to have developed the Nokia 9’s penta-camera setup.

Light claims it is the “world’s most advanced imaging platform” and the Nokia 9 PureView camera technology is a testament to that. The company rattled the industry when it released the Light L16 camera, which featured 16 cameras. Light’s technology combines 10 different images into a single super high-res photo.

Xiaomi becomes the third OEM to partner with Light after Nokia and Sony. Zhu Dan, VP of Xiaomi’s smartphone camera division has this to say; “We are thrilled to partner with Light to leverage their advanced imaging solutions for our future devices.” He went further to disclose that the company works tirelessly to remain at the forefront of smartphone innovation and that perfecting smartphone photography was a key focus for the Chinese phone maker. No mention was made of the project the company was working on but we expect something out of the ordinary.

HMG Global‘s upcoming flagship smartphone — Nokia 9 PureView — one of the most anticipated smartphones — will be the world’s first smartphone to feature five camera sensors on the back panel.

Now, it is being speculated that along with having Zeiss optics, the upcoming Nokia smartphone could also come with an enhanced low-light experience from imaging firm Light that specializes in “computational photography”.

Light, which is a US-based startup, has built a technology that uses a five-camera module array to collect 10 times more light than a traditional smartphone sensor. The development is in line with what was claimed in a recent purported promo of the Nokia 9 PureView.

Further, it is mentioned that its software pipeline that works on multiple platforms and devices can also combine and fuse 5, 10, or even 50 images. While describing its software pipeline, Light wrote, “The pipeline is built to combine images from different perspectives, as well as different sensors, apertures, and focal lengths. We leverage pixel matching, geometric, and photometric corrections, and ISP algorithms in order to achieve our results.

Previously, US-based Light was in the news a couple of years ago for bringing prototypes such as a 16-lens camera and a nine-camera phone. It is also touted to offer its multi-camera solutions without any additional bump.

While the Penta-camera setup on the back panel of the phone makes it interesting, the phone’s specifications aren’t exciting as it feels like a 2018 flagship phone rather than a 2019 one. It is said to be powered by Snapdragon 845 chipset, coupled with up to 6GB or 8GB RAM.

It is expected to feature an 18:9 aspect ratio screen and may carry support for Quad HD+ resolution. It could also be the first Nokia smartphone to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner. The phone is also expected to be powered by a 4,150mAh battery that may carry support for wireless charging.

According to the reports, Nokia‘s upcoming flagship smartphone will be announced in late January and will be first launched in the European market. It also adds that the phone will be priced at 749 Euros (approximately $851) and 799 Euros (approximately $908) depending upon the market.
