  • What’s New In Wear OS Android P Developers Preview

    What’s New In Wear OS Android P Developers Preview

    Google recently released the first beta build of Android P for the Pixel smartphones. Similarly, the company has now released an Android P  Wear OS developer preview for the Huawei Watch 2, as there is no official Google smartwatch. Here are the top five features from the latest Android P beta preview for Wear OS.

    Dark Theme

    This is one of the features, that was long due. As most of the smartwatches have an OLED display, a dedicated dark theme will increase the battery life of the device. This feature will also increase the visibility of the content in low light conditions, without straining user’s eyes.

    Limited Background Activity

    As smartwatches come with a smaller battery, running multiple applications in the background can drain up the juice quickly. With this feature, no application will run on background, except for watch face and settings. Additionally, the watch can run multiple applications in the background when it is charging.

    Wear OS

    Turn off radios when off body

    Most of the smartwatches are capable of connecting to a smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In fact, some of the high-end watches do support LTE for standalone functionality. Being connected to an external network will consume a lot of power. With this update, the watch will get disconnected from a network as soon as the user removes the watch from his wrist.

    Wi-Fi will be off when Bluetooth is off

    If the watch is not connected to a smartphone using Bluetooth, then it cannot connect to a wireless Wi-Fi network. However, the device can connect to a Wi-Fi network while charging, without being connected to a smartphone. This means, most of the software updates happen, when the watch is charging or when it connected to a charging station.

    Restriction to non-SDK methods

    This feature is applicable for Wear OS app developers. Starting with the Android P based Wear OS, the app developers have to use official SDK to create newer apps. This will help optimise and increase the compatibility across the smartwatches running on Wear OS.

  • Apple Watch Series 4 Will Have A 15% Bigger Screen And A New Design

    Apple Watch Series 4 Will Have A 15% Bigger Screen And A New Design

    The smartwatch industry, much like tablets, is dominated by Apple. Google recently rebranded its smartwatch OS to Wear OS in a bid to revive it a bit. However, all of that might not come to any fruition as Apple plans a design overhaul for the upcoming Apple Watch. Apple has already launched three generations of the Apple Watch. However, all three generations look very similar. According to a new report, the Apple Watch Series 4 will have a new design with a 15% bigger screen.

    Apple Watch Series 2 Nike Edition

    The Apple Watch Series 4 will debut in September 2018, along with the new iPhones. According to KGI Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo, the watch will have a newer design with a bigger screen and a longer lasting battery life. Additionally, the smartwatch will have additional health monitoring capabilities. The company is also working on a new display technology called micro-LED display. This display technology will consume less power by offering more pixels per inch.

    The watch will be available in 38mm and 42mm screen sizes with minimal bezels. To cater to a bigger display, the watch will also have a bigger battery with extended battery life. The report also predicts that Apple will sell at least 30 million units of Apple Watch in 2018, which will go up to 50 million in the upcoming year.

  • Casio Announces Smartwatch Powered By Wear OS

    Casio Announces Smartwatch Powered By Wear OS

    Recently Google rebranded its wearable OS from Android Wear to Wear OS. And now, Casio has officially announced the Casio WSD-F20SC smartwatch powered by the new Wear OS. This is the second smartwatch to ship with Wear OS, after the ‘Big Bang Referee‘ from Hublot. The Casio WSD-F20SC is a limited edition rugged smartwatch.

    This smartwatch is an upgraded version of the WSD-F20, which was launched in 2017. As the Casio WSD-F20SC is a limited edition device, the company has limited the number of devices to 700 units only. The smartwatch will be available from June 2o18. However, the company is yet to make an announcement on the pricing of this watch. Features like Ion-plated buttons and sapphire crystal glass protection is will differentiate this smartwatch from the competition.

    Casio WSD-F20SC Specs

    The watch will have a 1.32 inch colour TFT display. The display found on this watch has a dual layer screen with a colour and a monochrome display. This is a handy feature, which helps the device to save battery. The watch can pair up with either Android or iOS smartphone. However, those devices should be running on Android 4.3 and iOS 9 or latest operating systems.

    The smartwatch has support for GPS and GLONASS. Similarly, it also comes with Color Maps with support for offline navigation. The Casio WSD-F20SC is water resistant up to 50meters and MIL-STD-810G certified for additional ruggedness. The device also includes trucking friendly features like Pressure sensor, accelerometer, gyro metre and a compass. The connectivity options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with latest IEEE 802.11 b/g/n standards.

    The watch has a sealed battery, which charges via magnetic charging terminal, which takes 2 hours to charge completely. The watch can be used in three modes (GPS off), the normal use with the coloured display on offers one-day battery life. The normal mode with colour display auto-off offers up to 2days battery life. The Time Piece mode can offer up to 30 days of battery life. However, this mode disables the smart features, and can only show time. The battery life takes a slight hit when GPS is turned on.

  • Hublot Launches FIFA Edition Smartwatch For US$ 5200

    Hublot Launches FIFA Edition Smartwatch For US$ 5200

    Hublot is one of the most renowned premium watch brands. The company has now forayed into the smartwatch business by launching a special smartwatch powered by Wear OS. Hublot has collaborated FIFA to create these watches and named the watch as ‘Big Bang Referee 2018 World Cup Russia’.

    The price of the Hublot Big Bang Referee 2018 World Cup Russia is CHF5,000 (Rs 3,38,988). However, the company will only make 2,018 pieces of this watch. Additionally, the match referees will receive custom versions of the smartwatch.

    Hublot

    Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot said:

    The Big Bang Referee 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ offers all the usual features of a smartwatch of course, but that’s not where Hublot has applied its innovation and audacity. It brings together everything that inspires the passion of football lovers!

    The FIFA World Cup is the Holy Grail of emotions for football fans, so just imagine what an object such as a watch that captures each and every one of its moments, its turning points, its stakes could suddenly represent? The football aficionados from among the brand’s friends have been waiting for this watch for a long time!

    This watch represents the luxury and craftsmanship, that Hublot is known for. The device is milled out of a single block of titanium and kevlar. By default, the watch will have an analog dial, to give it a retro look. Additionally, the bands are easily swappable like the conventional watches.

    Hublot

    Those who buy this watch will receive notifications on game details like result and goals. Additionally, it will also remind them about forthcoming matches. However, the referee’s version will have more customised in-game functionality, where a referee can check an instant replay and follow the trajectory of the ball.

    The watch has a circular 49mm OLED display with 400 x 400 px resolution. Additionally, the watch is water resistant up to 5ATM and can last one complete day on a single charge.

  • Fitbit Versa Officially Launched in India For Rs 19999

    Fitbit Versa Officially Launched in India For Rs 19999

    Fitbit launched the Fitbit Versa smartwatch in India on the 14th of March. The Fitbit Versa is a successor to the Fitbit Iconic, which runs on the same Fitbit OS. As Fitbit recently acquired Pebble, the design elements are quite reminiscent of the Pebble Time Steel.

    The regular version will retail for Rs 19,999 and the special edition will retail for Rs 21,999. However, there are no details on the availability of the smartwatch. The smartwatch runs on Fitbit OS 2.0. It has a maximum brightness of 1,000nits which should offer great sunlight legibility. The smartwatch has 4 days of battery life, which can be completely charged within 2 hours.

    Fitbit Versa

    James Park, co-founder and CEO of Fitbit Said:

    Fitbit Versa fills a critical need in the market by delivering a beautifully designed, full-featured smartwatch that is easy to use at a very competitive price.

    Fitbit Versa

    It is compatible with smartphones running on Android and iOS OS. The built-in storage allows the user to carry up to 300 songs using third-party services. There is an option for Fitbit Pay, which uses NFC based payment system. However, the service is presently inactive in India.

  • Google Wear OS Is Now Official

    Google Wear OS Is Now Official

    Wear OS is now officially the moniker that Google will use for its smartwatch OS. The new branding will be available on a select number of smartwatches, which were running Android Wear.

    Wear OS

    Google and its smartwatch OS has been fighting a losing battle with Apple’s watchOS. Apple Watch and its three iterations have helped Apple become the biggest watchmaker in the world. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Apple shipped more Apple Watches than the entire Swiss watch industry. With such enormous popularity, it feels like it will take more than just rebranding for Google to revive Android smartwatches.

    While the rebranding kind of resembles the moniker Apple uses, the features are not similar in any way. Google, so far, has not announced any new features that will hit the market. Prominent non-Apple smartwatch makers like Samsung now use their own OS instead of Wear OS. However, unlike an Apple Watch, a Samsung S Gear watch is compatible with other Android devices.

    Apple Watch

    The exclusivity of the Apple Watch almost plays into its favour. Apple has built a massively impenetrable ecosystem around its devices. Every iPhone owner who wants a smartwatch is automatically no longer a potential Android smartwatch customer. That is solely because an Apple Watch works more cohesively with an iPhone.

    Just like the Android OS market, Android Wear OS market is extremely fragmented. From Samsung, Huawei to Fossil, Android Wear smartwatches are made by a lot of manufacturers. This means that the level of customisation and cohesion that an Apple Watch provides, an Android Wear smartwatch simply cannot.

    Google, however, is definitely trying to make it work. The smartwatch industry is well on its path to become similar to the tablet industry. Where its either an iPad or nothing. But, for Google to prevent that, it will take more than just rebranding.

  • Google Might Rebrand Android Wear To Wear OS

    Google Might Rebrand Android Wear To Wear OS

    Android Wear has long fought a losing battle against Apple’s Watch OS. Smartwatches are the most predominant variant of wearable smart devices and it seems like Google just can’t crack the code. In a bid to reignite the interest and anticipation around Android Wear, the company might be willing to change things up a bit. Google is planning to re-instate Android Wear under a new moniker called, “Wear OS”. In fact, the name resembles Apple’s “Watch OS“, which powers the Apple Watch.

    A new screenshot from a Reddit page clearly mentions the name “Wear OS” with a new logo, similar to the Google Assistance. This change was spotted in the Google Play Services Beta 1.25 with the “Nearby” feature.

     Wear OS

    According to statistics, Android Wear OS holds 18% share in the smartwatch market while Apple dominates with more than 50% of the share. It is also worth noting that even Qualcomm has stopped working on chipsets that power smartwatches. In fact, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 2100 was the last Android Wear chipset, which was announced in April 2017.

    Apple Watch Series 3

    Apple has created a complete ecosystem, that works seamlessly with the Apple Watch, iPhone, and Mac. However, Google has failed to replicate that user experience of the smartwatch across the devices. However, Google and Android Wear has failed to replicate the same ease of use and fluidity across its devices. The Wear OS is expected to offer seamless integration with a new user interface.

    Expected Debut of Wear OS

    Google is expected to announce the Wear OS along with Android P at I/O 2018. Similarly, the company is expected to launch Google Pixel Watch along with the Pixel 3 smartphones in late 2018.

  • Apple Could Launch Over The Ear Headphones With Noise Cancellation

    Apple Could Launch Over The Ear Headphones With Noise Cancellation

    In 2016, Apple removed the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack from its iPhone 7 devices. The AirPods were subsequently unveiled which, at the time of the launch, received a lot of flak for its looks. However, with time, the AirPods have become the most successful wireless earbuds in the market. So much so that it dominates the market with up to 85% market share of Bluetooth earbuds. In fact, the company has sold more than 13 million pairs of AirPods in 2017 alone.

    According to a report, Apple is working on a pair of premium over-the-ear headphones, which will be launched by the end of 2018. However, this plan is not set in stone as the company might scrape off the idea completely. It has been reported that Apple’s plans of launching over the ear headphones have been dodgy over the past year or so.

    over the ear headphone
    Apple AirPods

    The report also suggests that the company will not launch the over the ear headphone under the Beats moniker. In fact, the company plans on making it a standalone product, similar to the AirPods.

    Features

    The premium wireless headphones are expected to offer active noise-cancellation. The headphones will be powered by a custom energy-efficient chipset like the W1 found on the AirPods. These headphones will cater those, who are looking for traditional feel headphones with active noise cancellation. In fact, just like the upcoming Apple AirPods 2, these headphones are expected to offer water resistance and wireless Siri integration.

    Conclusion

    There is no denying that the market is not short on wireless headphones with noise cancellation. Companies like Bose and Sony have plenty of headphones to cater to those who prefer this feature. However, the Apple headphones will largely attract people already in its ecosystem. The presence of the W1 chip means seamless pairing across all Apple products. However, the price of the headphones will be an interesting factor while competing with the likes of Sony, Bose and others.

  • This Is What The Apple AR Glasses Might Look Like

    This Is What The Apple AR Glasses Might Look Like

    A Dutch-based designer has come up with a concept render for the Apple AR Glasses. The concept images are very realistic, which showcases the aesthetics and the function of the glass. Unlike the Google Glass, Apple AR Glasses looks like regular sunglasses with Apple logo on both sides of the frame.

    Google was the first company to release a pair smart glasses. However, owing to its unusual appearance and intrusive features, it failed to take off. Intel recently came up with a concept called Vaunt, which uses retinal projection technology to project an image directly on your eyeball. One of the main features of the Vaunt is how simple they look. Unlike the Google Glass, it will be hard to notice these smart glasses in a crowd. Also, they aren’t as intrusive either, since there are no cameras to secretly record footage.

    Intel’s new smart Vaunt Glasses. Image courtesy: Verge

    Even Snapchat came with Spectacles, which comes with a dedicated camera to record videos. The Snapchat Spectacles also have a glowing LED ring, which notifies that the user is recording a video.

    If Apple does launch the Apple AR Glasses, it has to be minimalistic. The glasses cannot have an in your face design, like the Google Glass. The renders reveal that the Apple AR Glasses will look close to regular spectacles. If the design is anywhere near the final product, the Apple AR Glasses could be a success.

    Features of Apple AR Glasses:

    According to Martin, the Apple AR Glasses uses a micro-projected to project the images on the lens. So, the Apple AR Glasses user will be able to see real-world information and the smart information from glass simultaneously.

    These glasses will be based on Augmented reality, rather than the virtual reality. With the help of smart glasses, the user will be able to check phones battery percentage, network reception and notifications with a blink of an eye. Like Apple Watch, the Apple AR Glasseses are expected to support wireless charging using Qi-wireless compatibility.

    The glass frame is expected to feature sensors like camera, GPS, and light sensor. There will be complete Siri integration with all the functionality. The Glasses are also expected to feature dual speakers, which can transfer the sound to the user directly.

    These Glasses will be powered by Apple’s rOS, which will be based on iOS, with a battery efficient chipset. The rOS stands for reality operating system, focused on AR capabilities.

    GBH Insights analyst said:

    While this has been a late entrant from an AR/VR perspective, we believe Apple AR Glasses will be the next step in the wearable category for Apple.

    Conclusion:

    So far, there have only been rumours about this. Some reports claim that the Apple AR Glasses might start shipping as early as 2020.

  • Top 5 Bluetooth Headphones Under Rs. 2000

    Top 5 Bluetooth Headphones Under Rs. 2000

    Boat Rockerz 510

    Headphones

    These are for people who prefer over the ear headphones. Boat headphones are bass heavy and these headphones are no different. The Rockerz 510 has a comfortable fit, and ideal for long listening hours. It has an inline microphone as well as a host of buttons to control your music and headphones without reaching out for your phone. Also, it comes with a 3.5mm cable for times when your headphones run out of battery.

    Moto Pulse Wireless Headphones

    Headphones

    Probably the most minimalistic headphones on the list, the Moto Pulse headphones sound great. They are on ear type headphones instead of over the ear. This means that the sound bleeds out a bit. However, at a price of Rs. 1500 and the assurance of Moto brand, the Moto Pulse make a great pair of headphones. One downside is the lack of support for wired playback. This means that if you run out of battery, there is no way to use the headphones.

    Zakk Flex

    The Zakk Flex are in-ear type earphones with a neckband reminiscent of the Sony h.ear in earbuds. The neckband is flexible resulting in a very comfortable fit. A good thing is that the flexible neckband doesn’t add a lot of weight to the earphones. They sound great and are priced at Rs. 1799. Just like the Zakk Air, these earbuds are also sweat resistant. The neckband comes into play when we talk about the battery life. The Zakk Flex has a playback time of up to 8 hours which is extremely convenient.

    Portronics Harmonics 204

    The Portronics Harmonics 204 have a build and style similar to the Zakk Flex. There is a neckband that holds the earbuds together and is also very flexible. A nifty feature it has is the magnetic latch to prevent accidental falls. Similar to the Zakk Air, the Harmonics 204 have a playback time of up to 5 hours.
