Dyson just made a pair of air-purifying headphones. No, seriously.

0

Dyson Zone might seem like an early April Fools’ joke, but it is not. Dyson has just launched active noise-canceling headphones that strangely purify the air, too. It was first conceptualized as a wearable air purifier in 2016 and the idea of integrated headphones was added later on. 

The headphones are targeted toward urban dwellers as it aims to tackle both air and noise pollution. Thus, Dyson describes it as “headphones delivering pure air and pure sound.”

Dyson Zone Overview:

Development

Dyson Zone may seem like a product born in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic. But this is not the case as the company claims it has been under development for six years. The company has put 30 years of filtration expertise into creating this product in hopes of providing air filtration not just indoors but outdoors as well.

Dyson Zone prototypes throughout the yaers

As mentioned earlier, Dyson Zone was only meant to be a wearable air purifier. However, a year into the research, the company started user trials in Beijing, which led to the idea of integrating ANC headphones and air purification.

Later on, the company settled on mounting the filters in the earcups for optimal performance. Engineers then spent most of 2019 analyzing different faces and head shapes to find the perfect comfort.

After fine-tuning the design in 2020, the company spent another year re-engineering the tech to improve performance and reduce size.

Design

Dyson’s team drew inspiration from a horse saddle for the Zone’s weight distribution. Just like a saddle, the headphones distribute weights on the sides. Dyson has divided the head cushion into three parts which help evenly distribute the weight through the “contact areas” for an optimal fit. A magnetic visor pushes clean air towards the user’s nose and mouth.

Dyson Zone Final Design

According to the company’s chief engineer Jake Dyson, “the Dyson Zone purifies the air you breathe on the move. and unlike face masks, it delivers a plume of fresh air without touching your face, using high-performance filters and two miniaturized air pumps.”

Air purification And Contact-free Visor

The Dyson Zone is the company’s first audio product. It features a 2-stage purification system that uses a filter and an electrostatic media to contain particles. Air is drawn into the headphone’s earcups and channeled into a contact-free visor that sits across the wearer’s lower face.

The visor streams two jets of purified fresh air into the wearer’s nose and mouth. Dyson claims that breathing does not feel stuffy but rather natural and comfortable with the Zone.

Dyson Zone in use

The Dyson Zone has four purification modes, low, medium, high, and auto. When the visor is dropped to the wearer’s chin, the fans stop, allowing the user to talk. However, the headphones can be used without the visor too. Besides this, the company also offers a mask attachment with an FFF2 filter.

Hi-fi Audio And ANC

According to Dyson, the Zone provides ‘premium audio technology’ which delivers ‘immersive, high-fidelity sound.’ The active noise cancellation on the headphones utilizes microphones to monitor sound from the environment and compressors to generate noise-canceling sound waves. There are three ANC modes to choose from isolation, conversation, and transparency.

Dyson Zone Price And Availability

Dyson has finally unveiled the price of the new air-purifying noise-canceling headphones. It is priced at USD 949 and will go on sale in March 2023.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro goes official with world’s first “retractable” portrait camera

0

Tecno has just introduced a new smartphone under its premium Phantom sub-brand. Called the Phantom X2 Pro, it is the world’s first smartphone to feature a retractable portrait lens. Let’s take a look at what Tecno has to offer with the Phantom X2 Pro, as well as its expected price in Nepal.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro Overview:

Design, Display

The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro sports a unique design for a smartphone. Especially, its centrally located large camera module on the back looks extra-ordinary. It even has a decorative ring around one of its cameras. So it’s easily distinguishable from the sea of similar-looking smartphones. 

Furthermore, the X2 Pro is available in an Eco-Friendly Edition with a microfiber back cover made from recycled ocean materials. According to Tecno, ocean waste was first transformed into microfibers through a complex and multi-stage process. 

It is then woven to create a strong, long-lasting material for the back panel. All this tech is packed in the Mars Orange color variant. Whereas, there is a Stardust Grey variant with a glass back.

Up front, you’re looking at a 6.8-inch Full HD+ curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus Protection. This is a 10-bit panel that covers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. Likewise, the bezels on the top and bottom are quite minimal as well.

Performance

In charge of things inside the chassis is a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC. This is a big lead from the original Phantom X which was equipped with a mid-range Helio G95 processor. 

Based on TSMC’s 4nm SoC, the SoC has a high-performance Cortex-X2 (3.05 GHz) core, three Cortex-A710 (2.85 GHz) performance cores, and four Cortex-A510 (1.8 GHz) efficiency cores. 

Sure, Tecno could have gone with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9200 SoC. But the Dimensity 9000 is a capable chipset in its own right. Memory options are limited to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It comes pre-installed with Android 12-based HiOS 12.

Cameras

Let’s now talk about the highlight of this guy, the cameras. It comes with a 50MP Samsung JN1 retractable portrait lens with support for 2.5x zoom. As a result, you can even use it as a telephoto lens. The reason behind the name “retractable” lens is that the phone has a mechanism that extends the camera lens outward when in use and retracts it afterward.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro Camera

On the other hand, this portrait lens has a bright f/1.5 aperture, which is quite wide for a 65mm smartphone camera. This brings in two advantages.  First, it allows more light to reach the sensor. Second, its shallow depth of field produces natural bokeh for portrait shots.

The portrait lens is paired with a 50MP Samsung GNV primary camera with a 1/1.3″ ISOCELL 3.0 sensor. Although the large 1/1.3” unit helps to capture more light, Tecno has also used an RGBW sensor and a glass element on the camera to increase light intake.

The remaining lens is a 13MP Samsung 3L6 ultra-wide camera which can also take macro shots. A 32MP camera with an f/1.5 aperture is there for selfies.

Rest of the specs

Besides this, the smartphone features a big 5160mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. Biometric options include an in-display fingerprint sensor. Likewise, you get all the major connectivity options such as 5G (SA/NSA), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax), Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C.

Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 (2022) with 12th Gen CPU now in Nepal

The ThinkPad L series laptops from Lenovo are marketed to business individuals looking for a cost-effective solution. And the new third-gen L14 is among the latest addition to the lineup. It has just landed in Nepal, and here we will discuss the specs, features, latest price, and availability of Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 in Nepal.

Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 Overview:

Performance and Memory

The third-gen ThinkPad L14 is designed to be a slim business laptop that you can take anywhere without compromising on performance. For this, it comes with the latest 12th Gen Intel Core and Pentium CPUs. The model available in Nepal packs the Core i7-1255U, which is a deca-core processor with 2 performance and 8 efficiency cores.

Lenovo doesn’t offer an option for a discrete GPU, so you will have to do with the integrated Iris Xe. Likewise, the L14 Gen 3 has two SO-DIMM slots that you can fit with 64GB of DDR4 RAM in a dual-channel configuration. For storage, there is a single M.2 SSD slot, configurable with up to 1TB.

Design

Although Lenovo offers the ThinkPad L13 Gen 3 with an aluminum lid globally, it is not the case in Nepal. Here, everything is made of polycarbonate and ABS material, including the lid and the base. That said, the laptop has MIL-STD 810 military certification to vouch for its durability. Even the backlit keyboard that you get is spill-resistant. The chassis weighs around 1.4 kg and is available in a single Thunder Black color.

It is also often considered the “greenest” laptop in Lenovo’s portfolio since they are built for low power consumption using recycled materials.

Lenovo Thinkpad L14 Gen 3 Design and Display

Coming to the display, you get a 14” with varying resolutions, color coverages, and brightness levels. Still, you are more likely to find the base IPS model with FHD resolution, 250 nits of brightness, and 45% NTSC coverage. The screen has an anti-reflection layer and boasts a 170° viewing angle.

Battery and Connectivity

The battery on the ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 varies according to the configuration. The Core i7 variant that you get in Nepal features a 57Wh Li-Polymer pack with Rapid Charge support. With the feature enabled from the Vantage app, you can charge the laptop up to 80% in an hour using the 65W adapter provided in the box.

With its latest L14, Lenovo claims that you can work from almost anywhere. For this, it has included tons of connectivity features. For standards, it comes with a rich port selection, including 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x Thunderbolt 4, 1x HDMI, 1x ethernet, and a combined audio jack. Then there is Intel AX201 11 Wi-Fi 6 card and Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless connectivity.

Rest of the Specs

There are multiple security features embedded as well. Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 2 features a touch-style fingerprint reader on the power button. It’s a “Match-On-Chip” sensor that stores your biometric information separately from the host system, making it more secure than traditional match-on-host solutions. Furthermore, you get a Kensington slot, a physical privacy shutter, and an IR sensor for Windows Hello Face unlock.
