Realme fitness band leaked as Madhav Sheth is spotted wearing one

The existence of Realme fitness band was confirmed by Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth during his latest #AskMadhav episode. He confirmed that the product will be launched in India next month. Ahead of the launch, the company seems to be testing out the product as Mr Sheth has been spotted wearing one. 

One of the Beebom officials spotted Sheth wearing the Realme fitness band at the Spanish Visa centre in Delhi. The photo reveals a band that has a yellow colour strap and a large curved display panel. However, the display is turned off so we cannot tell whether the wearable sports a colour display or not. While the launch of the fitness tracker is just around the corner, very little is known about it. It is expected to be priced aggressively to compete with the Mi Band series.

As for expected specs and features, the Realme fitness band is said to come with the regular steps and calorie counting features, alongside sleep tracking as well. We do not know if the band has an integrated heart rate monitoring feature yet. The different types of sports modes that will be integrated are unknown as well. All we know for sure is that the band is releasing in the upcoming weeks. Hence the company is expected to start teasing its arrival soon.

Nokia 92 PureView could be first to sport an under-display camera

That all-essential selfie camera on top of the display is the biggest reason why we see notches of different kinds and shapes on smartphones today. While we’ve seen many different workarounds for the ‘notch problem’, we have yet to see a workaround that puts the selfie camera behind the display. Nokia, it seems, could be the first one to come up with such a technology on its upcoming flagship smartphone. According to a tweet from online tipster Nokia anew, Nokia is currently “testing” its “under-the-display front camera” on the the Nokia 9.2 PureView.

If Nokia succeeds in its venture, then the Nokia 9.2 PureView will be one of the first smartphones in the market to feature such technology and, hopefully, be more successful than previous models in the PureView family. Apart from wanting to learn how it works, smartphone critics such as ourselves will also want to understand just how ‘Pure’ the ‘View’ produced by the hidden camera is. Since Nokia hasn’t confirmed this development officially, we suggest you take it with a pinch of salt for the moment. 

Nokia has reportedly delayed the launch of its flagship smartphone for 2020. Referred to as the Nokia 9.1 PureView in online discussions, Nokia’s upcoming flagship was originally reported to employ Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765 chip. However, more recent reports suggest Nokia will brand it as the Nokia 9.2 PureView (ditching any plans for a Nokia 9.1 PureView in the process) and equip it with Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 chip. This rework is thought to be the cause of Nokia’s launch delay.

However, if you’re in the market for a Nokia PureView smartphone right now, you can consider the Nokia 9 PureView. Available through some online channels for around Rs 49,999, it's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage space. The handset’s ‘PureDisplay’ pOLED screen measures 5.99 inches diagonally and has a maximum resolution of 1440x2880 pixels. In addition, the Nokia 9 PureView sports a 12MP penta-camera setup on its back panel and a single 20MP selfie camera. You can read more about its advanced camera system here.

Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar was launched globally a year ago and it has now made its way to India. The product comes with 13 speakers - six woofers, five tweeters and two top-firing full-range speakers. It is compatible with various popular sound formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Apple HomePod smart speaker lands in India at Rs 19,900

Nearly two years after launching the HomePod in the US, Apple has introduced its first smart speaker in India. According to Apple’s official website, the HomePod is currently on sale in Space Gray and White colours for Rs 19,900. Apple has not yet mentioned when the HomePod will be available for orders in the country, though it’s expected to pop up on online stores such as Amazon and Flipkart sometime in the next few days. Apple’s HomePod competes directly with Amazon’s Echo line of smart speakers.

The Apple HomePod is a cylindrical speaker with a fabric outer shell and a fixed power cable. Designed to be placed on a counter or bookshelf at home or in the office, it is powered by Apple’s proprietary digital assistant Siri to receive voice commands from nearby users. Like Amazon’s Echo speakers, it can play music or ambient sounds, report weather, manage calendar appointments, control connected home appliances, answer questions based on search results, etc.

The Apple HomePod uses an array of six microphones to listen actively for ‘Hey Siri’ calls from nearby users. The speaker setup consists of an array of seven beamforming tweeters with their own individual amplifiers and an upward-firing high-excursion woofer. Powered by an Apple A8 chip, the HomePod comes with an easy pairing and setup process when it’s used with a compatible iOS device. Apple says that, using its microphone-based spatial awareness technology, the HomePod will tune itself automatically to play music well in any part of the house.

In the Indian smart speaker market, which is heavily populated with Amazon’s offerings, the Apple HomePod goes up against the Echo, Echo Plus, and Echo Studio from Amazon and the Google Home from, well, Google. In recent times, Amazon has been adding a lot of products to its Echo portfolio vigorously to keep it diverse. The American multinational’s recent launches include the Echo Flex (a wall-mountable smart speaker), the Echo Input Portable Edition (a battery-powered smart speaker), and the Echo Auto (a car-mounted smart speaker).
