Fitbit will soon be able to track your snoring and other ambient noises

Earlier in March, Google announced the second-gen Nest Hub that could detect user’s snores and coughs using a Soli-powered sensor. Now, a report has emerged which suggests that snoring and noise detection features will arrive on the upcoming Fitbit devices as well.

Snoring and Noise Detection in Fitbit

The report comes from 9To5Google, who analyzed the source code of the Fitbit app from the Play Store. The app or the “APK” file was first decompiled using the JEB decompiler and then investigated for potential future features.

Working mechanism

As things stand, Fitbit tracks your sleep using sensors that track your heart rate and movement too. However, the source code of the latest Fitbit app reveals that Google is planning to use the microphone to detect snoring and other noises.

This microphone will automatically turn on once Fitbit confirms that the user is asleep. It will then listen to the surrounding for noises. The recorded sound intensities are compared against a baseline noise level by an algorithm that determines if the wearer is snoring or it’s something else.

Shortcomings

Given the working mechanism of the system, it will not be able to detect snoring if the intensity is lower than that of the ambient sound of your room. In addition, the Fitbit has no mechanism to trace back snoring to a particular individual. Thus, if you sleep with your partner, both of your snoring will count as one.

Data representation

Here, the Fitbit app will then represent the result in percentage. It will even categorize your snoring based on the percentage.

  • None to Mild: >10% of total time
  • Moderate: 10-40% of total sleep time
  • Frequent: >40% of total sleep time

Also, Fitbit will categorize the ambient noise.

  • Very Quiet: 30 dBA or lower
  • Quiet: 30–50 dBA
  • Moderate: 50–70 dBA
  • Loud: 70–90 dBA
  • Very Loud: 90 dBA or higher

This feature will consume a lot of power. As such, Google will be recommending people to charge the device up to 40% at least before going to bed. You can completely disable this feature if you value the battery life or your privacy more.

These insights will help users to be more aware of their sleeping habits and help them take the necessary steps to improve.

Sleep Animal

Moving on, Google is also working on another feature called Sleep Animal, but it is in the early phase of development. It will provide a sleeping profile of the users; comparing their sleeping habits to that of an animal.

Sleeping Profile Description
The Bear Restless Sleeper
The Dolphin Segmented Sleeper
The Giraffe Shallow Sleeper
The Hummingbird Short Sleeper
The Kangaroo Slow to Fall Asleep Sleeper
The Tortoise Solid Sleeper

Fitbit Snoring & Noise Detection Availability

Though these features are in the APK file of the Fitbit app, Google can pull it back at any time. That being said, the snoring and noise detection feature looks almost complete and could be official soon. The Sleep Animal feature is still a work-in-progress and therefore could take time to roll out.

Oppo is apparently preparing for a smartwatch with “almost no shortcomings”

Oppo recently announced the Reno 6 series in China. However, just before the smartphone launch event, Oppo held an exclusive media conference. The company has confirmed that they will be releasing a new smartwatch shortly. And apparently, the upcoming Oppo Watch Free will have “almost no shortcomings.”

Oppo Watch Free Rumors Roundups:

Oppo has announced that its new smartwatch will employ a chip co-developed with Ambiq. More specifically, the processor on the smartwatch will be Apollo4s. From the design outline, it appears that this device will be a premium smartwatch. Thus, with the new chipset and premium design, we do not expect it to be cheap.

Furthermore, a slew of Oppo products was listed on China’s 3C certification back in April. According to it, these devices support 4G networks and have a charging rate of 5V 1A or 5V 1.5A. The charging speed of these products is comparable to that of the Oppo smartwatches currently on the market. 

Oppo Watch Free EUIPO Certification

The company is yet to reveal the official name of the smartwatch. However, Oppo recently filed a trademark with the name “Oppo Watch Free” in the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

As per the listing discovered by LetsGoDigital, the device is listed for sports use; which means it could end up being Oppo’s first-ever sports smartwatch. This is a rough guess for the name, but since the company has officially confirmed plans for a smartwatch, this might end up being true. Also, the Watch Free might launch with the new Wear smartwatch platform.

Launch

To date, Oppo hasn’t disclosed any information about Watch Free regarding its specifications or launch date. So we’ll have to wait to hear more about this mysterious smartwatch with “almost no shortcomings.”

The upcoming OnePlus Nord phones promise speed and affordability

With the launch of the OnePlus Nord 2020, the company made a dramatic comeback in the mid-range market. Besides this, the brand has also added a couple of other phones in the Nord lineup. Now, OnePlus is ready to welcome two new members to the Nord family – the OnePlus Nord CE 5G and Nord 200 5G.

OnePlus Nord CE 5G:

Here, the Nord CE 5G is said to be the successor to last year’s Nord N10 5G. Max Jambor, a leakster, originally revealed the name via his Twitter handle. In addition, OnePlus is also working on another Nord-series device called the Nord 200 5G.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau in talk with TechRadar shared some details about the upcoming phone. He confirmed the official name and the existence of both smartphones. As per the blog, the “CE” in the name stands for “Core Edition”. 

Lau elaborated on the new naming convention, saying, “we have distilled the original Nord down to its core elements, and added a few more features to create a great everyday phone at an even more affordable price.”

OnePlus Nord CE 5G

The statement is a little perplexing as he hinted (if I got that right) that the upcoming Nord is a refined version of last year’s Nord. However, if its specifications are comparable to those of the original handset, it may fail to wow the audience.

What to expect?

The OnePlus Nord was a huge success, but the standards have shifted and the company has to upgrade its product to match it. While Lau confirmed the existence of Nord CE 5G, he is yet to provide any hardware specifications about the phone.

He did, however, say that the “OnePlus Nord CE 5G delivers a fast and smooth experience and powerful core features all backed by the OnePlus quality users know and love.” So, just a bunch of corporate mumbo-jumbo.

Yet, the word on the streets is that the phone will be powered by Snapdragon 750G—which is a slight upgrade over the 765G in the first-gen Nord. Still, 750G’s 8nm process makes it less power efficient than 765G which is built on a 7nm process node. In terms of cameras, the Nord CE 5G might come with 64MP-led triple cameras at the back. And a 16MP selfie shooter.

OnePlus Nord 200 5G:

Moving on, the Nord 200 is the successor to Nord N100 which is the most affordable device in the Nord lineup. But, the latter only supports 4G which will change with the Nord 200. OnePlus is giving 5G capabilities on the new entry to further improve the user experience.

According to Pete Lau, “users can expect this to be one of the most affordable 5G smartphones available within the North American market”. However, other details of the device are unknown for now.

Launch

OnePlus Nord CE 5G will launch in India and Europe on June 10 while the Nord 200 5G’s release date is still uncertain. Yet, the latter will be exclusive to the United States and Canada only.

Midas Mero Doctor Launched: Will let you take video consultations from your home

Midas has been working to digitize hospital-related services for over two decades in Nepal. More than 120 hospitals throughout the country have benefited from the organization’s digital approach in managing their facilities. It has now come up with a method for the Nepalese population to obtain health counseling services from the comfort of their own homes. Midas has officially inaugurated the “Mero Doctor” platform to provide video-based consultations to patients. 

Mero Doctor Overview:

Ideation

For decades, the Nepalese healthcare system has been plagued by a lack of sufficient hospitals, doctors, health staff, and adequate finances. And as the pandemic worsens, people have been unable to leave their homes, which poses a challenge for patients who require frequent health check-ups and consultations.

Mero Doctor

The idea of Mero Doctor spurred due to this unideal situation in the country. Midas believes that Mero Doctor will help mitigate the risks of untimely medication or consultation from doctors. It ensures that both parties are in frequent touch with one another and proper medications have been followed by the patient. 

Facilities

The app has a portfolio of hundreds of professionals in their respective fields. One can select his or her physician from the appropriate department and reserve a time window for the video consultation. The platform is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, it is important to understand that one should refer to Mero Doctor only for NON-EMERGENCY consultations.

The patients who are unable to commute to the hospital due to health difficulties, geographical constraints, or any other reason may utilize Mero Doctor to save resources and time. Furthermore, Midas is also offering individuals free COVID-19 related health care consultations.

Midas Mero Doctor: Accessibility

The app has a straightforward and easy-to-grasp user interface that is accessible via several platforms. Mero Doctor application for Android/iOS devices can be downloaded from Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store, respectively. In addition, you may check out its services by visiting merodoctor.com on your web browser as well.

The first flagship Xiaomi released in early 2021 was the Mi11. It gathered a lot of hype recently because of its superior flagship specs at a cheaper price tag. While the device was initially exclusive to China, it arrived in Europe shortly. Although it didn’t make it to India, the phone is has made its way to Nepal. So let’s take a look at the specs, features, official price, and availability of the Xiaomi Mi 11 in Nepal.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Overview:

Design and Display

Mi 11 sports a 6.81-inch DotDisplay with a WQHD+ resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels. The AMOLED panel is curved on both sides. With the use of the new E4 light-emitting material, the display now boasts a peak brightness of 1,500 nits. This phone also has support for a 120Hz refresh rate, while the touch sampling rate has been significantly bumped to 480Hz. The screen is protected by the all-new Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Similarly, Mi 11 has received an A+ rating from Display Mate for its display technology.

Users can choose between an anti-glare frosted glass and vegan leather for the rear panel. The glass variant is thicker but weighs less than the vegan options.

Performance and Memory

Powering the phone is the Snapdragon 888 chipset. It is the latest flagship smartphone chipset from Qualcomm based on the new 5nm process. The chipset makes use of Arm Cortex X1 (Prime) and Cortex A78 (Power) along with Cortex A55 (Efficiency) cores. This combination offers a performance improvement of 35% and 20% better power efficiency. Similarly, the Adreno 660 GPU is 35% faster than its processor. Unlike its predecessor, the SD 888 now has an integrated 5G modem for further power efficiency.

To keep the temperature down, Xiaomi has included the VC LiquidCool Technology. Users can choose between 8GB and 12GB of RAM. The latter comes with 256GB of internal storage while users can choose to pair the 8GB RAM variant with 128GB or 256GB internal storage.

Mi 11 ships with the new MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. To note, this is the first Xiaomi phone to run on the new version of MIUI out-of-the-box. Xiaomi claims that the new UI has been optimized to decrease memory usage and power consumption.

Camera

In terms of camera, the phone flaunts a triple camera setup. The 108MP primary camera on the back uses a 1/1.33” sensor. The pixel binning technique contributes to 11.6μm pixels. The primary camera has support for Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and can record up to 8K videos. It is accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide camera with a 123-degree Field of View (FOV). Additionally, there is a 50mm telephoto-macro lens. On the front, there is a 20MP selfie camera enclosed inside the left-aligned circular cutout.

Rest of the specs

Xiaomi Mi 11 relies on a 4,600mAh battery for its juice. There is support for 55W TurboCharge which can fully charge the device within 45 minutes. On top of that, users can enjoy 50W wireless charging and 10W wireless reverse charging. In China, users can choose to get the device with and without the wired charger, both for the same price. Take note, Apple (and possibly every other OEMs who are bound to follow in this step).

Interestingly, Xiaomi includes the 55W GaN charger inside the box of every unit for the European market. This comes as a surprise seeing how the region is sensitive to such eco-friendly practices.

Moving on, the dual speakers on the Mi 11 are tuned by Harman Kardon. Users can share music between two Bluetooth devices. Other features include an IR blaster and multi-functional NFC.

Redmi’s latest MacBook Pro alternative has AMD’s Zen-3 based processor

Likewise, their core/thread count comes to 6/12 and 8/16, respectively. In addition, these are performance-first H-series processors with 45W TDP. Sadly, there is no option for a discrete GPU on the AMD variant of RedmiBook Pro 15 contrary to its Intel counterpart. Therefore, you will have to be content with the integrated Radeon graphics.

This laptop’s cooling system consists of dual fans and dual heat pipes. There are three performance modes that users can switch manually using the “Fn + K” combo keypress. RedmiBook Pro 15 ships with 16GB of DDR4 RAM (soldered) and 512GB of PCIe SSD, irrespective of the variant.

The chassis has CNC-machined aviation-grade aluminum. The thinnest variant measures just 16.4mm while weighing around 1.8kg. It has a full-sized keyboard without a dedicated NumPad. It is a backlit keyboard with three levels of brightness to choose from. The fingerprint scanner is integrated into the power button.

NVIDIA teases the launch of new RTX 3070Ti and 3080Ti cards later this week

NVIDIA will shortly announce the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti. As the name suggests, these cards will rank above the existing RTX 3080 and 3070, respectively. So, let’s go through the rumors and expected price of the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 3070 Ti graphics card.

NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, 3070 Ti Rumors Roundup:

RTX 3080 Ti was originally rumored to have 20GB of GDDR6X VRAM. However, new speculations say that this has been lowered to 12GB. This is the same capacity as the RTX 3060, although the latter uses the slower GDDR6 memory. It also has GA102-225 GPU with 10240 CUDA cores.

Furthermore, it is rumored to feature a 384-bit memory interface (like RTX 3090). This will result in a memory bandwidth of 912GB/s (up from 760GB/s on the RTX 3080).

The RTX 3070 Ti, on the other side, will have 6144 CUDA cores and 8GB GDDR6X memory. To compare, the regular 3070 features 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. It will come with the same 256-bit bus as its non-Ti counterpart but the faster memory is expected to result in a bandwidth bump by 160 GB/s.

Furthermore, with RTX 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti, team green is undoubtedly adding a hashing restriction for crypto miners. The limit was introduced on RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 cards with the Lite Hash Rate (LHR) branding.

Rumored specifications:

Specifications RTX 3080 Ti RTX 3070 Ti
GPU GA102-225 GA104-400
CUDA Cores ~10240 6144
RTs ~80 48
Tensors/TMUs ~320 192
ROPs ~112 96
Base Clock 1365 MHz TBC
Boost Clock 1665 MHz TBC
Memory 12GB GDDR6X 8GB GDDR6X
Bus 384-bit 256-bit
Memory Clock ~19 Gbps ~19 Gbps
Bandwidth ~912 GB/s ~608 GB/s
TDP ~320W TBC

NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, 3070 Ti Launch Date

NVIDIA has teased a GeForce event on May 31 during its Computex 2021 keynote. Here, the upcoming RTX 3080 Ti will sit between the company’s RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, which have MSRPs of USD 699 and USD 1,499, respectively. By that logic, it should cost somewhere around USD 1,000. Yet, we certainly don’t expect 3080 Ti to be readily available at its MSRP.
