HUAWEI to Reveal ‘Unique’ Foldable Phone on September
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

HUAWEI has announced the big event for September 10 at 2:30 PM GMT+8. The company says it will reveal what it refers to as its “most leading, innovative and disruptive product.” CEO Richard Yu labeled it “epoch-making,” saying no competitor can match it. So, it appears we are going to get some sort of reveal of some kind of actual groundbreaking innovation.

Triple-Screen Foldable Phone

Sources say HUAWEI will introduce a foldable phone that bends twice. There are two hinges, and the model folds into the shape of Z when folded. If unfolded, this is destined to carry a 10-inch screen, larger than most current models. This is going to be a leap in the realm of foldable phones.

Triple-Screen Foldable Phone

Leaks have suggested that the new device might come in thinner than another foldable phone. Richard Yu has been spotted with the phone on at least two occasions, which likely means it’s sleek enough to wear. This could turn out to be one of those moments where the aesthetics and practical use of the foldable phone started to shift.

But it will not carry the Google Mobile Services on the new HUAWEI phone. Because of the continued trade restrictions, HUAWEI could not use the software developed by Google to its full capacity. Yet, it is most expected to come up with some alternatives for the users of that gadget.

Triple-Screen Foldable Phone

September is shaping up to be a pretty busy month for any tech lover. In addition to HUAWEI’s big announcement, Apple intends to make an announcement on the 9th of September for the iPhone 16 series. Plus, IFA 2024 is full of tech announcements.

However, this XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro does not pack any battery inside it. That means it has to get power from somewhere else all the time. Luckily, it can run off any 65W power bank and thus is quite flexible in its setup.

Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Maxis has announced a first-of-its-kind, cloud-based GPU-aaS for Malaysian businesses. This is among the latest additions to Maxis Business’ suite of cloud and managed services. It lets these enterprises tap into the power of powerful graphics processing units for advanced artificial intelligence applications. The upcoming GPUaaS would provide access to businesses for GPU purposes of AI training and inference tasks.

GPU-aaS

The Maxis GPU-aaS solution would be an economical solution. This would help in reaping the enterprise benefits of deploying high-performance capabilities without heavy investment in GPU hardware. Furthermore, businesses would not need to manage such complex infrastructure, which would free them up to work out their core operations and reduce overheads.

GPU-aaS

First off, the Maxis GPUaaS will leverage Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPU clusters. This innovative technology promises unmatched scalable computing at will. In turn, businesses that have the Nvidia H100 will be empowered to accelerate the development of things such as Generative AI and large language models. It is most beneficial to industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and also logistics.

Besides this, the GPU-aaS of Maxis will be interconnected with the regional GPUaaS offering of Singtel through the Bridge Alliance.

Pixel 9 Pro Thermometer: A Reliable Tool for Accurate Temperature
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

The years have witnessed quite a few feature explorations on the part of the makers of smartphones, including those featuring a temperature sensor, which was to help users in the process of health monitoring. Very recently, Google joined that trend with its Pixel 8 Pro and continues with the Pixel 9 Pro. This handy feature is also housed by the Pixel 9 Pro, thereby making health monitoring so much easier.

Pixel 9 Pro

The thermometer sensor in the Pixel 9 Pro is located on the camera bump, exactly below the flash. With the Thermometer app open, it can be pointed toward said object. Additionally, it could measure the current temperature of the surroundings indoors or outdoors.

Curiously, the Thermometer app applies visual aid through the phone’s camera system. While this will not provide thermal vision, it aids in pointing the sensor in the correct direction. The task of the camera is to guide your measurement and display temperatures accordingly.

Pixel 9 Pro

Google claims its temperature sensor is remarkably accurate. Clinical trials showed that the sensor measures body temperature within 0.3 degrees Celsius of an FDA-approved thermometer. Google’s temperature app received FDA approval in December, hinting at the app being reliable for personal usage.

It also has some other uses aside from checking the body temperature. It can take the temperature of your surroundings, your drink, and so on. While it’s useful in its way, a doctor’s visit remains the best option when it comes to medical advice.

For compatibility, Buds T01 sport Google Fast Pair. To get more out of the earbuds, users can connect the earbuds with the Realme Link app. However, for those additional features, it is worth considering that the Realme Link app on iOS does not support the same.

Buds T01

New Apple M4 Mac Mini: Transitioning from USB-A to USB-C
Reading Time: < 1 minute read

Apple’s M4 Mac mini will feature a slew of ports, none of them USB-A. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is killing USB-A ports with the new release. In both its base and Pro models, the coming Mac mini will feature five USB-C ports, Ethernet, HDMI, and a headphone jack. Gurman also noted that the Mac mini with an M4 Pro chip would have an internal power supply.

On the other hand, Apple’s development of a more affordable version of the Magic Keyboard is in progress. This new keyboard could be launched at most mid-2025. The company had recently introduced a new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro this year. Gurman suggests that the new keyboard would thus target entry-level iPads or even the new Air model of the iPad.

The standard Mac mini ships to warehouses in September, while the Pro model will follow in October. This discarding of USB-A ports puts the nail in the coffin of truly archaic connectivity. The forthcoming Magic Keyboard will join a growing range of devices from Apple already available.

X Ban In Brazil: How Starlink And VPN Users Are Affected
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

The Brazilian Supreme thus ordered internet providers to block access to X. By Sunday night, X was largely inaccessible throughout the country, reachable only through VPNs or Starlink, access to which users face severe penalties. Starlink also refused to follow the court’s order pending the release of its frozen assets.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Starlink’s bank accounts frozen to cover the $3 million in fines levied against X for ignoring his orders to block various accounts. The court denied a motion to lift the freeze on Starlink’s assets, citing Musk’s argument that SpaceX operates autonomously from X. Musk considered the asset freeze “illegal.”

Starlink

Meanwhile, Starlink had promised to keep providing free internet to its 250,000 customers in Brazil despite blocked accounts. It could well be that Brazil revoked the license of Starlink for not changing its stance regarding X. In case Starlink continues operations, then officials could seize its equipment at 23 ground stations.

Finally, the Supreme Court panel ruled against rescinding the ban imposed on X and allowed X to appeal against the move. Apart from that, the court placed a seal on daily fines against VPN users who use X.
