TCL announces two new Android tablets, truly wireless earbuds, and a smartwatch

Today TCL is launching a slew of new gadgets, according to the announcements of IFA 2020. TCL is going to launch a pair of new tablets, new truly wireless earbuds, and also a smartwatch for seniors.

In the era of smartphone advancements, tablets are struggling to make them popular in the market. But when it comes to a large screen, great display then anyone can move his interest from smartphones to tablets. Some high-end tablets feature a 10.36-inch widescreen (2000×1200) display with slim bezels. Obviously, the internal specs of TCL will not be as powerful as Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7, but still, the company is positioning the TCL 10 Tab Max as an excellent choice for watching videos or conducting video calls thanks to its dual far-field microphones. It’s all set to ship in the fourth quarter for €299 (4G model) and €249 (Wi-Fi only).

The TCL 10 Tab Mid is also there for a lower budget. This tablet has chunkier bezels around its 8-inch screen. It is powered by a Snapdragon 665 and also features a powerful speaker system. As most of the tablets offer very poor quality speakers, this tab will make the difference, according to the company. Both the tablets from TCL have also a dedicated kids mode.

Next, we will move our eyes to the company’s latest true wireless earbuds, the MoveUdio S200. It will be budget-friendly wireless earbuds which will cost around €100. The design is similar to AirPod. The company claims that the device has 3.5 hours of continuous battery life (up to 23 total with the case), low latency when watching videos. It has more convenient features like auto-pause when an earbud is removed. The buds have four beamforming mics and in-build electronic noise reduction technology and also they are dust and water-resistant. It may cost around €99 when they will be released globally at the end of this month. The buds will come in three different color variants: black, white, and teal blue.

TCL is also ready to launch a smartwatch for seniors that the company is calling the MovieTime Family Watch. Regarding the specifications of this watch, it features activity tracking, fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and hands-free calling, the device is intended “to help seniors maintain their independence.” This watch also offers medication and activity reminders. If anything fishy is detected, emergency contacts are notified within 60 seconds and they will be provided the wearer’s location. It can also detect an irregularly fast or slow heart rate.

This watch has a 41×48.5mm OLED display (with optimized, larger icons) and is IP67 water and dust resistant. This MovieTime Family Watch will launch in North America and Europe for €229.

Last up, is a connected watch for seniors that TCL is calling it the MoveTime Family Watch. With activity tracking, fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and hands-free calling, the device is intended “to help seniors maintain their independence.” The watch also offers medication and activity reminders. If a fall is detected, emergency contacts are notified within 60 seconds and are provided with the wearer’s location. The Family Watch will also display alerts if it detects an irregularly fast or slow heart rate.

It’s got a 41×48.5mm OLED display (with optimized, larger icons) and is IP67 water and dust resistant. TCL says meets “CCPA and GDPR compliance to protect user privacy.” The MoveTime Family Watch will launch this fall in North America and Europe for €229.

The company is also providing some minor updates on its concepts and prototypes like the “waterfall” display and foldable.

Cortex-R82: 64-bit Real-time processor announced by ARM

0

Arm has recently announced the latest Cortex-R82, that implements Armv8-R AArch64-architecture. It is said to be its highest performance real-time processor.

The Cortex-R82 supports advanced Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD), under Arm’s Neon technology. It can increase the speed of applications like machine learning while accelerating the signal processing algorithms and its functions.

Back in 2016, Arm proposed its R8 which was to be extensively used in 5G connectivity solutions. The R8 CPUs however had an addressing limit of 32-bit 4gb memory.

But modern products are making it necessary to incorporate larger memory addressing. With modern SSD’s using up to 2 Gb of DRAM, it nearly comes close to addressing the limitations of the 32-bit R8 series.

The Cortex-R82 is said to address this issue, by supporting memory addressing up to 1Tb DRAM and the new design is said to increase the performance by two folds over the R8 while using a wider address space of 1Tb.

The main focus in Arm’s new release is the inclusion of neon technology for SIMD processing. The inclusion neon technology is said to allow SSD-controller designers more flexibility to their designs.

Features:

Cortex-R82 four-core cluster5nm
Maximum clock frequencyAbove 1.8GHz
Performance3.41 / 4.32 / 8.67 DMIPS/MHz*
5.82 CoreMark/MHz**
Total area (including Cluster, Cores, RAM and routing)From 2.0mm2***
EfficiencyFrom 30 DMIPS/mW***

The Cortex R82 is expected to deliver efficient parallel computation on data itself when implemented on SSD based on NVMe or NVMe-oF specifications or CXL architecture.

According to Arm, Cortex-R82 can implement up to 8 cores, and the extra computing power will allow it to support a complete Linux distro directly inside the storage drive.

Arm reports that Cortex-R is already supporting more than 85% of current storage solutions, so incorporating R822 will be a big boost in speed and performance.

Currently, not much details about the micro-architecture of R82 are known, but as it uses Armv8-R architecture, we can expect it to be a major and much-needed upgrade over the 32-bit R8 microprocessor.

Firstly, in 2016 a hacker group called themselves OurMine Team hacked his account. As per the group, their intention was just to inform others that no one is safe.

Around three years later, in August 2019 Dorsey’s account was again hacked by Chuckle Squad. They took over Dorsey’s account and posted several offensive messages. Around one and a half hour later Twitter tweeted that “the account is secure, and there is no indication that Twitter’s systems have been compromised”.

2. Mark Zuckerberg

Two new Ryzen 5 4500U powered laptops get price cuts on Amazon India

0

A handful of AMD Ryzen 4000U powered laptops are in India and its due to their high demand that their prices have been fluctuating so much. AMD has admitted the fact that they are facing availability issues due to the unprecedented sales, so a lot of new laptops haven’t even made its way to India, and the ones there are either getting out of stock or getting extraordinary price hikes.

I have always kept the track of these Ryzen powered laptops and I’ve spotted two new laptops that have received a sweet discount recently and here are the two of them:

Acer Swift 3

Two new Ryzen 5 4500U laptops get price cut on Amazon India

This is one of the first Ryzen 4000U powered laptops in India and has been there for quite some time now, however, it was retailing for Rs. 66k and now its finally retailing for Rs. 62k and many people who had been looking for a great laptop in that Rs.60k price range can find the laptop to be a good option.

  • Display: 14″ display with IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology, Full HD 1920 x 1080, high-brightness Acer ComfyView LED-backlit TFT LCD
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 4500U hexa-core processor with max turbo up to 4.0Ghz | RAM: 8 GB of onboard LPDDR4 system memory

  • Storage : 512 GB, PCIe Gen3 8 Gb/s up to 4 lanes, NVMe SSD | OS : Windows 10 Home 64-bit
  • Battery life: Battery life up to 12 hours | Thickness: 15.9mm

Overall this is a great mid-range laptop with the powerful Ryzen 5 4500U, decent display, and long battery life. I feel this laptop can do the job for a lot of people and it’s much better than the Core i5 options in that price range.

If you need a good work laptop or if you are a student and need a good laptop for compiling codes or doing day to day stuff, this is a great option, however, do note the RAM is soldered, so you will be stuck with 8GB for rest of the future.

One of the most promising new laptop has got to be the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 which is a 2-in-1 laptop powered by the new Ryzen 4000 APUs. Asus has launched 3 variants of the laptop ranging from Ryzen 3 4300U to Ryzen 7 4700U. However, the Ryzen 5 4500U is a good option because of the stronger processor and graphics and can use the 8GB RAM onboard RAM.

  • 14-inch LED-backlit Full HD (1920 x 1080) display

I am a fan of this laptop because of the value it packs inside it, a touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop with a powerful APU, a decent build quality, upgradable RAM, and respectable battery life.

Previously, the laptop was retailing at Rs. 65k and now its Rs. 61,500 which makes the deal even better, I would strongly recommend the laptop who are looking for a powerful 2-in-1 which has good build quality and is value for money. A review of this laptop will be coming next week, so keep an eye here.

Vivo might bring a Color-changing Phone panel

0

Before launching any handset, most of the smartphone companies focused on their device’s back colour, they always trying to introduce more attractive and colourful looks on the backside of the phone to attract buyers towards the device. Previously, we have seen many kinds of gradients like vegan, leather, transparent background, even also pure 24-karat gold background. Now on the basis of the back colour, Vivo claims that they have developed a way to customize the panel in any colour that the buyers want.

A short video is published by Vivo, which introduces us to this newest technology. The video can explain how technology does work or we can assume that what is going on. Basically the technology used by this Chinese company is based on electrochromism- a theory that allows the back glass to change its colour or opacity when voltage is applied to it. In general, the glass changes from transparent to translucent and vice-versa.

The electrochromic glass is not a new introduction in the technological field- it is a very important element in smart windows for cars and buildings. The electrochromic glass is used to control the amount of light and heat allowed to pass through a surface.

From the video, we can see that the electrochromic film is placed between two glass sheets and two transparent electrode sheets with ion storage and an ion conductor film. According to the phenomenon, when low voltage is applied the ions change their consistency then changing the light and how it bends when it passes through the electrochromic film- then it will create a different colour. This technology is low power technology, so it can not drain the battery or heat the device.

If we look at the camera setup of the phone shown in the video, we are pretty sure that the phone is Vivo S7 5G, used as a demo-unit, though the camera setup is hidden in the video by the company.

The video revealed that how does it work in real life. It will give an attractive look to your phone. The other information about this technology will introduce soon by the company.

Suresh Raina wants to be back with CSK for IPL 2020

Suresh Raina wants to be back with the Chennai Super Kings as he surprisingly pulled out the IPL 2020. The already mysterious 13th season of the IPL is already becoming more dramatic even before it has begun. Raina immediately left Dubai in a hurry to return back to India.

Some say it may be pertaining to the fact that 13 of the CSK staff was tested positive for COVID-19. Whereas some believe it may be a hotel room dispute. He was also questioned for a serious breach of discipline inside the bio-security bubble at the Taj Hotel.

Raina also reportedly apologized to the team management for his actions. However, he addressed the issue in a series of interviews this Wednesday. He clarified that it was a family issue that needed his undivided attention. He also claimed that would like to rejoin CSK for IPL 2020. (via Insidesport):

“You never know, you might see me in the CSK camp again. First, I have to take care of my responsibilities here and then am ready,” 

“It was a personal decision and I had to come back to my family. There was something that needed to be addressed immediately at the home front and CSK is my family too and Mahi Bhai is most important to me and this was a tough decision but with the family back home, I had to come back for them“.

What are the chances of Raina rejoining CSK for IPL 2020?

The fans would obviously love to see the IPL veteran in action. However, the official matters aren’t as easy as they sound on paper. CSK owner Srinivasan has accepted Raina’s apology but the team management does not seem to be adamant to have the one-down batsman back.

According to some sources, Raina has been removed from the team’s WhatsApp group. Also, CSK’s CEO Kasi Viswanathan claimed that the team isn’t looking for a replacement. Therefore, the chances of him rejoining are sadly less.

“We are not calling for any replacement for Raina. Team captain and team coach are both satisfied with what we have in our kitty currently”, told CSK CEO on Tuesday evening.
