Sonys wearable air conditioner can keep you cool on the go

If you have always dreamed of an air conditioner that you could take with you on the go, then you aren't alone. Battling the heat is a task but it looks like Sony may have the answer. The company has announced the Reno Pocket, a portable air conditioner that is smaller and lighter than a smartphone. The device sits on the back of an undershirt just below the wearer's neck and has the ability to cool the body by about 13 degrees Celsius when compared to the temperature of the surroundings. It also has the ability to provide the user with heat during winters by raising the temperature by about 8 degrees Celsius. 

The device can be controlled by a smartphone app. The app works on iOS and Android and connects to the Reon via Bluetooth. The device charges via USB-C and can take about 2 hours to charge for 90 minutes of use. It is light, weighing in at about 85g. The device will be available in two variants - the Reon Pocket Standard and Reon Pocket Lite. The Reon Pocket Lite is cheaper and only works with manual controls whereas the Reon Pocket Standard works with a smartphone. The Reon Pocket Standard will have an auto mode as well. The undershirt is available in three sizes - small, medium and large.

Sony started the crowdfunding campaign for the device on Sunday and has met 43 percent of its funding goal. The device will, unfortunately, only be available in Japan. The price of the device will range from 12,760 yen (about Rs 8,100 directly converted) to 19,030 yen (about Rs 12,000 directly converted). This will depend on the version and how many undershirts you decide to get with the device. If the funding requirement is met, then we can see the device being launched sometime around 2020.

Samsung Galaxy A10s could be priced at Rs 8,990 in India: Report

Samsung has been on a smartphone launching spree this year with multiple new A-series and M-series handsets. While the Galaxy A80 with an almost bezel-less display and rotating camera setup is the latest addition to the company’s A-series of handsets, ongoing rumours suggest that a more affordable Galaxy A10s is also in the works. The Samsung Galaxy A10s is reported to be a slightly more powerful variant of the existing Galaxy A10 with the MediaTek Helio P22 processor and 2GB RAM. Now, SamMobile reports that the upcoming Galaxy A10s could be launched in India next week with a price tag of Rs 8,990. 

If this report is to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy A10s could cost Rs 500 more than the Galaxy A10. For a slightly bumped-up price, the handset is said to offer a 4000mAh battery, which is bigger than the 3400mAh battery on the Galaxy A10. In addition, the Galaxy A10s could come equipped with a dual rear camera setup instead of just one sensor and a fingerprint sensor on the back. While the reported specs of the handset are in line with previous rumours, we suggest you take it with a pinch of salt as it is not from the company itself. 

The Samsung Galaxy A10s was also recently spotted on the Android Enterprise website where some of its other unknown specs were found. As per the listing, the smartphone will feature a 6.2-inch display and launch running Android 9 Pie. The handset was also spotted on the Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG websites. The appearance of ṭhe handset on all the aforementioned websites hints at nearing launch date. 

As mentioned earlier, Samsung recently launched its Galaxy A80 smartphone in India. It is up for pre-booking on Flipkart and Samsung’s official website. The Galaxy A80 comes equipped with a 6.7-inches Full HD+ Super AMOLED 'New Infinity Display' with a 20:1 aspect ratio. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset, which is paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It runs on One UI based on Android 9 Pie and is backed by a 3700mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging.

In terms of optics, the Galaxy A80 sports a rotating camera module that consists of a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP secondary sensor with an ultra wide-angle lens, and 3D depth camera sitting alongside an IR sensor.
