Noise X-Fit 1 unveiled, will be available at a special launch price of Rs 2,999

Noise has unveiled a new wearable. Called the Noise X-Fit 1, the wearable is the newest entrant in the ever-expanding roster of wearable devices in India. The Noise X-Fit 1 is available on Amazon and as per the listing, the MRP of the device is Rs 5,999. However, the wearable will be available at Rs 2,999 at a “special launch price.” The device will be available from November 26 onwards.

Noise X-Fit 1: Details

The Noise X-Fit 1 packs a 1.53-inch IPS display with a screen-to-body ratio of 86% along with a resolution of 360x400p. It offers over 100 watch faces, allowing users to swap one out when they feel like it. 

The device has a weight of 30 grams and features a metal finish. It offers 24x7 heart monitoring and can track SpO2 levels as well. It can also track sleep.

Things are heating up in the sub-5K market when it comes to wearables. Noise is no stranger to releasing devices in that price range and already offer a number of wearables in that price range. However, they are not alone in that endeavour. Other manufacturers such as Fire-Boltt, Boat, Crossbeat, Xiaomi, Oppo, and more also offer competitive devices in that price range. As such, these companies are always on the lookout for ways to stand out from the crowd. However, as these devices are usually purchased by first-time users, manufacturers need to look beyond just adding more fitness features and consider bringing e-SIM features to more affordable devices.

Meta Smartwatch leaked, tipped to feature a front camera

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, might have pretty big plans. The company already showcased a number of AR and VR projects, but it looks like it might have even more plans up its sleeve. Bloomberg reports that the company is developing a smartwatch and even posted an image tipped to be of the device. The report notes that the image was found within the company’s Facebook View app that will help control the new smart glasses it plans to develop in partnership with Ray-Ban. 

The Meta smartwatch: Details

The image suggests that the Meta smartwatch will feature a screen and case that is slightly curved at the edges. However, the most notable feature of the smartwatch is the front-facing camera located towards the bottom. The report speculates that this might be used for video conferencing and helps it stand out from other wearables.

The report further adds that the code within the Facebook View app suggests that it could be called Milan. It further hints at the possibility that the smartwatch’s camera would be capable of taking photos and videos, and save them on the phone. 

While a smartwatch will be a brand new device from Meta/Facebook, the company already has some hardware offerings. Most notable being the company’s Portal series of devices. The Portal devices are focused on video conferencing. 

It is not yet known if or when Meta will launch the smartwatch and speculation suggests that it might be some time next year. When it does launch, it will face some pretty stiff competition from established players like Apple, Garmin and so forth. It remains to be seen if the front camera will help distinguish the device enough to make it stand out.

Redmi Watch 2 price leaks ahead of China launch, tipped to feature larger display

It looks like Redmi is preparing to launch a brand new wearable. The folks over at GizmoChina spotted the Redmi Watch 2 listed on Chinese retailer, JD.com. As per the listing, the wearable is priced at CNY 399, which is roughly Rs 4,700 when directly converted. It is not yet known if or when the watch will be available in India.

Redmi Watch 2

The report notes that the new Redmi Watch 2 is tipped to feature a 1.6-inch AMOLED display. By comparison, the current generation of the Redmi Watch packs a slightly smaller 1.4-inch display with an LCD panel. The AMOLED display on the new watch should allow for features such as an always-on display while also improving battery life. 

Other details aren’t yet confirmed, but we can speculate based on what the Redmi Watch GPS has to offer. The new phone comes with built-in GPS, so it should be safe to assume that the Redmi Watch 2 should also sport one. Further, the Redmi Watch GPS comes with 11 sports modes, so the upcoming device should be on par here or should offer even more activity tracking options. The watch is scheduled to launch in China on October 28.

Redmi is also preparing to launch the Redmi Note 11 series in China on October 28. Speaking of the phones, the company is expected to launch three new phones in the Redmi Note 11 series. These include the Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Redmi Note 11 Pro+. The manufacturer recently confirmed on Weibo that the new series will see the introduction of 120W fast charging.

Currently, it is not yet known if or when Redmi will launch the Note 11 series or the Redmi Watch 2 in India. The Redmi Note 10 was launched in India in March this year, so one can expect a similar timeframe for the launch of the new phones.

Clubhouse ready to launch a Music Mode feature

Clubhouse has confirmed the launch of a brand new feature that is designed to help musicians and artists broadcasting on the platform. This new feature is known as Music Mode and, according to Clubhouse, it “optimises Clubhouse to broadcast your music with high quality and great stereo sound,”.

What does Clubhouse’s Music Mode do?

When broadcasting music, one simply cannot compromise on the sound quality. However, more often than not, the sound quality depends entirely on the platform that you are using and there’s not much you can do about the same. Clubhouse is seeking to help artists mitigate this challenge by introducing its new Music Mode which lets you control the broadcast sound quality and ensure your audience can enjoy your music properly. 

Artists can plug in their professional sound mixing equipment and USB mics to broadcast their music and use the equipment live. Tapping the three dots at the corner of the video box will let you select the sound quality. The option you must select from the drop-down menu is “Music”, and this will turn on Music Mode. Audience members can then listen to the music using their devices. 

Do keep in mind that this particular feature will roll out to iOS devices first, and then to Android devices. Clubhouse also recently launched its clips feature that lets you share 30-second clips of music. The platform is clearly striving to create a space for musicians.

[Exclusive] First look at Realme Band 2 leaked renders reveal 14-inch display

The second iteration of Realme’s budget wearable, Realme Band 2 is set to launch soon. The first generation of the Realme Band was priced aggressively, which made it a competitive option for those buying their first wearable. In fact, it went straight up against the likes of the Mi Band 5, which has pretty much dominated the segment since the first Mi Band. Digit has partnered with OnLeaks to get you exclusive renders as well as a 360-degree look at the Realme Band 2. 

 

And now, your very first look at the #RealmeBand2! (gorgeous 5K renders + display size + dimensions) On behalf of @digitindia -> https://t.co/HmPf1cmNVc pic.twitter.com/ANEvxu40Ub

We managed to get our hands on some high-resolution renders of the upcoming Realme Band 2 to give you your first good look at the upcoming wearable. We have also added a 360-degree video that should give you a complete look at what you can expect from the upcoming device. 

Realme Band 2: Leaked specifications and images

Judging by the images, it looks like Realme is looking to make the Realme Band 2 a more premium-looking offering than the original Realme Band. The upcoming device looks more like a watch than the first wearable that looked more like a band. The display and the case stand out more instead of blending in with the straps.

Speaking of the display, Steve Hemmerstoffer, aka OnLeaks, notes that the Realme Band 2 will feature an approximately 1.4-inch display. This is a pretty big leap from the 0.96-inch display found on the first Realme Band. This should definitely add to the premium look that Realme is probably going for. It should also be noted that there doesn’t seem to be a touch button at the bottom of the display. This seems to suggest that the UI in the Realme Band 2 will be completely touch and gesture-based. This isn’t too surprising as most of the devices in this price range now offer such a UI.

In terms of dimensions. OnLeaks notes that the Realme Band 2 will measure approximately 45.9 x 24.6 x 12.1mm. This makes the device larger than the first band, but it shouldn’t be so large as to make it unwieldy when wearing.

Over on the back, we can see that the device will feature the usual bunch of optical sensors. These should allow for features such as 24x7 heart rate monitoring. It is not yet known if these will also offer SpO2 tracking and Blood Pressure monitoring. We will just have to wait to know about those features. Another bit to note is that the first Realme Band was charged by removing one strap and directly plugging it into a USB port. However, one can see that the new strap design may not allow for that. As such, one can speculate that the new Realme Band 2 will charge via pogo pins or something similar.

It is not yet confirmed when the Realme Band 2 will be officially unveiled, but it should be sooner rather than later. The wearable was recently spotted on Bluetooth SIG listing pages where it had the model number RMW 2010. It also pretty much confirmed that the Realme Band 2 will offer Bluetooth v5.1. This is a pretty major step up considering that the current Realme Band offers Bluetooth v4.2.
