CES Tech News

CES 2020: The Biggest Tech Trends Spotted

Held from January 7 – 10, in Las Vegas, CES 2020 defined the influential trends and the next big things to dominate the tech industry. CES – consumer electronics show is held every year and sets the landscape for consumer technology. From plant-based pork and foldable computers to intuitive health tech and killer OLED TVs, CES 2020 had many innovative products screaming for your attention. Here are the biggest technology trends and products spotted at CES 2020 that will shape and impact our lives one way or another.

There’s no stopping 8K and OLED TVs

TVs and CES go hand in hand. There hasn’t been a CES event that didn’t have the biggest, boldest and brightest TVs brimming with the latest tech such as micro-LED, mini-LED, OLED, QLED, motorised screens and many more. At CES 2020, TVs were everywhere. The biggest headlines were made by Samsung, LG, and Vizio. Samsung’s The Wall, a humungous 292” TV displayed at CES 2020 is the biggest one the event has witnessed so far. The Wall features modular microLEDs for its audience to experience extraordinary colours, exceptional brightness and excellent contrast. Sony’s 85” 8K TV, Samsung’s QLED 8K TV with the slimmest bezels and 99% picture, LG’s 65” 4K rollable TV and ceiling-mounted TV that rolls down were the major attractions at CES 2020.

Another highlight was Samsung Sero that can spin into portrait mode and mirror your phone’s screen. Samsung has blessed us with basically a very large phone that some have labelled as expensive gimmicks.

Impossible Foods debuts Impossible Pork

After announcing Impossible Burger 2.0 at last year’s event and making it a huge hit, Impossible Foods grabbed the spotlight yet again with the launch of its Impossible Pork at CES 2020. Impossible Foods is a US-based company that produces plant-based substitutes for meat products. Sounds impossible? That’s exactly what their mission is, doing the impossible and succeeding at it. How is it possible, you ask? The company uses soy, potatoes, coconut oil and sunflower oil as fat sources with an additional ingredient called heme that gives the meaty taste and smell to the food.

Ventures like this are sure to shake up the food and tech industry. Since both the environmental cost of raising animals and the consumption of pork among the population is high, man-made pork substitute will definitely have a massive impact.

Flexible screens are the future

Via: TechSpot

When it comes to foldable screens, the party is just getting started. Foldable phones were all the rage in 2019 but in 2020 foldable computers have swooped right in and stolen all the limelight. Intel made the biggest headline with its ‘Horseshoe Bend’ reference design that goes to show how the computers of the future will look like. It is a 17” tablet that folds into a 12.5” laptop with half touchscreen and the other half a virtual keyboard and touchpad. It can also be used as an all-in-one computer by attaching a kickstand, a keyboard and a mouse.

Other than Intel, Dell and Lenovo also showcased their foldable screens. Lenovo unveiled its Thinkpad X1 Fold that it had teased last year. It is a 13” OLED tablet that can fold and bend in multiple configurations. Dell’s two foldables, the Concept Ori and the Concept Duet also made an appearance making a strong case that flexible screens are probably better for tablets.

Smart devices for the health-conscious you

Health tech has always been a part of CES and 2020 is no different. The smartest way to get more people benefiting from it is to incorporate health tech into consumer products and devices that we use daily. A French company Withings understands that and revealed its new hybrid smartwatch called Withings Scanwatch at CES 2020 that does much more than looking good on your wrist. It is equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and health sensors to monitor its wearer’s heart rate and sleep pattern.

Other prominent health tech devices spotted at CES 2020 were Mateo Smart Bathmat, a seemingly simple mat that measures your body weight and body composition, Glutrac, a smartwatch that tests your blood sugar levels without a finger prick and Valencell Earbuds that can detect blood pressure in less than 30 seconds.

Toyota’s Woven City with no human drivers

Via: Toyota

The biggest and probably the most ambitious reveal at CES 2020 was Toyota’s Woven City to be built near Fuji Mount in Japan. Toyota presented its prototype of a community called the Woven City that will have no human drivers. The land where this city will be built is currently occupied by a defunct manufacturing plant and soon will be used to set up an experimental laboratory.

The Woven City will have no human-driven vehicles and will be a materialisation of Toyota’s concept of a city that has more sustainable forms of transportation.

Robots everywhere!

Via: Cnet

Among the latest gadgets and ground-breaking technologies, one thing that stood out was robots. CES 2020 was dominated by robots. From drawing robots ready to enter classrooms and cute little emotional support bots to cure your loneliness, CES 2020 saw robots everywhere.

BellaBot by PuduTech is one of the robots that captured the most attention. It’s a food-delivery robot with the head of a cat and body that comprises of shelves to hold the plates and trays. It is engineered to meow at the customers as it arrives at the table to drop the order. The fun part is that it also purrs if you give it a pat on the head. Feline lover, get excited!

Via: Groove X

Lovot by Groove X was another cute robot that captured many hearts. Lovot is designed to be your pet and to imitate certain behaviours of a living being. It seems like a cross-over between a penguin and a sloth. It blinks, coos and flaps its flipper arms when happy. It is equipped with more than 10 CPU cores and more than 20 MCUs to give you the feeling of comfort and love.

Other notable robots include MarsCat by Elephant Robotics, a robot cat engineered to imitate a real cat’s behaviour, Ballie by Samsung, a personal assistant for home and Rollbot by Charmin, a bear on wheels that transport tissue rolls to its owner.

CES 2020 defined the tech that we will be seeing this year and gave us a glimpse in the future. Stay tuned for more tech news and trends.

Lenovo All-in-One PC IdeaCentre A340 Review

Launched at the Mobile World Congress last year, Lenovo IdeaCentre A340 is an all-in-one PC that squeezes all the components of a traditional tower into a sleek and sophisticated display. If you are not familiar with the concept of all-in-one PCs or haven’t really given a thought to the prospect of getting one, let us warm you to the idea. All-in-one PCs are a slick, streamlined and space-saving alternative to the bulky towers that we struggle with too often. Traditional towers not only take up a lot of space, especially when you are working with a small desk or a cramped area, they also prove to be a hassle when it comes to moving or transporting them. Managing peripherals and convoluted web of wires is another headache. An all-in-one PC eliminates all of that. A sleek machine handles all your computing needs while maintaining an unassuming profile. What more could you ask for if you are looking to de-clutter your workspace so that you can focus on what matters the most? Let’s take a look at what Lenovo IdeaCentre A340 AIO has to offer.

Design & Display

At a glance, Lenovo IdeaCentre A340 all-in-one PC seems like a solemn, sleek screen that needs a tower to power it but it comes with all the juice and hardware to single-handedly tackle all your computing needs. IdeaCentre A340 stands proud on a pipe-shaped base instead of a flat platform like most AIOs, lending it its unique and minimal aesthetic. It is available in 21.5” and 23.8” display size fitted with Full HD IPS 1080p panels and thin bezels to give you a decent viewing experience and a lot of space to bring your ideas to life. The integrated Intel HD 620 graphics ensure that everything from scrolling social media to watching YouTube videos is a visual treat. You also have the option to harness the power of discrete graphics. Whether it’s for organising your work, watching your favourite movies with family or making video-calls to your best friend, this good-looking AIO is up for anything. It comes in two colours, black and white, and both are undeniably eye-catching. Also, did we mention how easy it is to set it up? Even if you are not a techy person, setting it up will be a breeze.

Performance & Security

The IdeaCentre A340 offers three variants with Intel Pentium 5405U, Intel Core i3-8145U and Intel Core i5-8265U processors. When it comes to RAM and storage, you can either have 4GB or 8GM of RAM along with the storage capacity up to 256GB or a traditional hard drive up to 1TB. The one we’re reviewing is engineered with 8^th generation Intel Core i3-8145U processor having a clock speed of 3.9 GHz and 8GB RAM. This AIO will help you buzz through your day with lightning-fast speed and snappy responsiveness. If you’re wondering about space, store all your photos, videos, music, documents and more with 1TB HDD that ensures you never run out of the room.

We all know how significant privacy can be especially when the PC is in your family’s use. The TrueBlock Privacy Shutter provides you with the added security by preventing you from prying eyes. When you wish to close your webcam, simply press the button on top of your screen and you’re good to go.

Ports & Cable Management

From design to performance and everything in between, IdeaCentre A340 is designed to maximise your productivity. You will never have to worry about connecting your peripherals with the wide array of connectivity options this AIO offers. The right side of the IdeaCentre A340 houses the power button below and a DVD-RW multi-burner a little above it. Meanwhile, the left side has a USB 3.1 port, a 3-in-1 card reader supporting SD, SDHC, SDXC cards and a combo mic/headphone jack.

Assembled neatly at the back of the AIO are six ports including a power DC jack, RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, an HDMI out-port, two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.1 port. The HDMI port enables you to connect another screen should you need while the USB ports facilitate faster data transfers.

Unlike your traditional tower that comes with the unsolicited promise of an entangled mess of cables and cords that you just can’t seem to manage, this AIO keeps it tidy. A convenient cable collector is built into the base of the model to keep all your wires connecting to the peripherals tucked away nicely. And there you have your clutter-free and organised workspace!

Verdict

If you are looking for an easily transportable family or work PC that doesn’t take up the better part of the room or skimp on performance, Lenovo IdeaCentre A340 AIO PC is a smart choice. Boasting a modern design for the modern workspace, IdeaCentre A340 will not only look good propped up in any room, but it will also take care of your computing needs, big or small.

Chromebook VS Laptop: Which One Should You Get?

Via: ASUS

Just some years ago, picking a laptop meant a mental conundrum between a Windows laptop and MacBook. Being the two main giants, it was either down to Windows or Mac operating systems and if the users settled on Windows, deciding on the processor came next and the job was done. However, now another contender is added to the mix; the Chrome OS-powered Chromebook. Chromebooks use cloud-based computing and most of the work is done using Google Chrome browser with applications and data stored in the cloud instead of the machine. They’re most talked about primarily for their faster and smoother performance, enhanced productivity, security and streaming your favourite movies. In theory, however, Chromebooks might not seem to do much with their limited storage, restricted number of applications and the meagre possibility of gaming. But Chromebooks score big in the area of price and battery timing.

If you find yourself drawn to Chromebooks, you can also look at our roundup of the best Chromebooks from the leading manufacturers, but for those of you who are still puzzled between a Windows laptop and a Chromebook, you need to ask yourself the following set of questions.

How important is portability for you?

Chromebooks are quite portable with their featherweight design and thin models which is hard to find in Windows laptops unless you are willing to throw in a few hundred pounds. If you are a student who is always running between the classes on campus or a professional who has to fly often or keep moving from one meeting to the other, a lightweight and smart Chromebook will be the ideal computing companion. ASUS Chromebook Flip C434TA and HP Chromebook x360 are slim and sophisticated Chromebooks suited for both students and professionals.

Do you want a laptop for casual use?

Via: ASUS

Chromebooks are mostly suitable for casual use. This is not to say that they are not powerful to take care of your computing needs. But since they use Chrome OS and the computing is cloud-based, you cannot expect to run some heavy-duty photo or video editing software or take on some power-intensive tasks. Some might argue that the Google Play Store available on Chromebooks provides you with a wide array of applications but the truth is that except a handful, they are not very well-designed to suit your needs. Chromebook is great for checking emails, browsing the web, using social media, and crunching numbers in Google Sheets. If you think most of your work can be done in the browser, then Chromebook might be for you.

How much storage space do you need?

Most affordable and mid-range Chromebooks don’t go beyond 32GB of storage while the high-end ones provide about 128GB of storage capacity. While 128GB seems sufficient in theory, you will eat up this space sooner than you realise. If you have a huge collection of photos, videos, movies, music, documents and more such stuff, a Chromebook might not be able to house it all. In that case, a Windows laptop or a MacBook will be more useful.

Do you require specific software?

Via: ASUS

While Chromebooks are great when you consider the price and portability, they lack the appeal if you are someone who often runs specialised software. Power and graphics-extensive software like Adobe’s Lightroom, InDesign, After Effects and Premium Pro is widely used by graphic designers, illustrators and video editors. Similarly, people belonging to different professions, like accountants, engineers, architects and more might want to run their own specialised software which Chromebooks don’t allow. Also, gaming is a huge no unless you are happy with a few Android games.

How security-conscious are you?

Via: Acer

Windows laptops and MacBooks have not yet achieved that level of robust security that Chromebooks enjoy. From Sandboxing and automatic updates to verified boot system and power washes, Google has taken multiple security measures to prevent outside threats and help users rest easy. Every application you run and every tab you open on Chrome OS has its own sandbox which breaks your tasks into separate processes and kills any virus before the process ends. Google also gives you automatic updates and notification whenever there’s a potential threat or vulnerability. Verified bootups also ensure that your computer stays protected against viruses by checking all files upon booting and correcting anything that looks infected. Lastly, power wash lets you wipe everything off of your machine and since everything is in the cloud, there are no risks of losing any data.

Price and Battery

If your work doesn’t require you to run power-hungry, specialised software and you are fine with the cloud-based computing, then Chromebooks provide you with the most value among other machines out there. Giving you the benefits of fast, smooth and secure computing and long-lasting battery, Chromebooks are available at affordable prices that won’t burn a hole in your pocket. From £300-£600 price range, you can get yourself a Chromebook to handle all your cloud-based computing needs.

If everything checks out and you have concluded that a Chromebook would best suit your needs, we offer a wide range of versatile Chromebooks that you can browse.

Huawei P30 Pro Review: The Best Huawei Phone to Buy

Loaded with innovative features, intuitive technologies and unprecedented power, smartphones have undoubtedly become the Chinese tech manufacturer, Huawei’s forte. In addition to giving a mini makeover to some of its previous affordable models like Huawei Y6 2019, Huawei also launched its winning flagship smartphones like Huawei P30 Pro. Huawei P30 Pro is a flagship phone that doesn’t skimp on performance. If you want to know if this stylish on the outside phone is as sophisticated on the inside, scroll down this detailed review.

Key Specifications:

Hisilicon Kirin 980 / 2.6GHz Octa Core Processor
8GB RAM, 128GB Storage
47″ Touchscreen Display (2340 x 1080) Resolution
Three Rear Camera (40MP+20MP+8MP) & 32MP Front Camera
Android 9.0 Pie with HUAWEI Emotion UI 9.1
Price: Was £799.99 / Now £649.99 (Save £150)

Design and Display

In terms of design, Huawei P30 Pro is as sophisticated as it gets. The tall and narrow model boasts a glossy gradient finish and the slimmest bezels. As gorgeous as it is, the large design might not be comfortable for smaller hands and the grip isn’t great either but the case that comes with it helps with that. The top of the screen houses a tiny dewdrop notch for the front camera while the fingerprint scanner is embedded in the screen at the bottom. At the base of the phone, a USB-C port sits between the speaker grill and the SIM tray. The SIM tray can hold two nano SIM cards for you to make the most of P30 Pro’s dual-SIM capabilities or you can use the second spot for a nano SD card for extended storage. The headphone jack is missing, however, there are visible microphone holes. Lastly, Huawei P30 Pro scores an IP68 rating which makes it dust and water-resistant.

Huawei P30 Pro features a stunning 6.47” OLED display with 2340 x 1080 resolution that churns out impressive visuals. Expect vibrant imagery, incredible colour accuracy and pleasant viewing experience. Although 4K videos and graphically heavy and intense games might not do as good as they do on other high-end phones, the results are still fabulous.

Performance and Other Features

Huawei P30 Pro runs on Hisilicon Kirin 980 octa-core processor and 8GB RAM giving it unrivalled power under the hood. It can take any task you throw at it and any app you download. Play power-intensive games like PUBG, Battle Royale or Call of Duty Mobile without any lag or stutter. It supports 128GB storage which can be extended with the nano SD card.

An interesting thing about Huawei P30 Pro is that you won’t find earpiece speakers on top of the screen. There are built into the top portion of the screen instead and putting your ear there will provide you with the audio.

Camera

The camera is the most outstanding feature of Huawei P30 Pro. The rear camera packs an astonishing quad-lens system. Huawei P30 Pro works wonders with 40MP main lens, 8MP 5x optical zoom lens, 20MP wide-angle lens and 10x hybrid zoom. The AI efficiently evaluates the frames to produce crisp photos. Even in low-light environments, the camera picks up incredible detail, vibrancy and clarity that might not even be visible to the naked eye. It’s safe to say that the Night Mode of Huawei P30 Pro is even better than Google Pixel 3’s camera. The 40MP main lens and 5x zoom lens make it possible for you to zoom in without ruining the quality of images unless you are likely to import them in graphics-intensive programs like Photoshop.

Battery Life

The battery on Huawei P30 Pro easily lasts a day on a single charge. It packs 4200mAh battery which is larger and more powerful than most of what its competitors pack. The power-saving mode, in particular, can come in handy when you can’t plug your phone in any time soon. It limits background activity, stops auto-syncing the apps and reduces brightness so you can have some juice left. In worse situations, you can also use the ultimate power-saving mode that brings up a monochrome interface and limiting all activity to just a few apps.

Verdict

Considering all its features, it won’t be wrong to say that Huawei P30 Pro is a phone with superpowers. The quad-lens camera, powerful performance and long-lasting battery are winning points of Huawei P30 Pro. If you want a premium phone to enjoy a luxurious mobile computing experience, this one is the answer.

From navigation and photo editing apps to streaming services, AI is actively making lives easier even without us realising about it. Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Home and Microsoft’s Cortana, all these virtual personal assistants are using AI systems and algorithms to manage our calendars, answer our queries, send emails and generally help to keep our lives in order.

From healthcare and automotive to logistics and financial services, all kinds of industries will be big on AI-based systems.

Extended Reality

Immersive digital experience has been the number one priority of businesses across the globe. Extended reality covers every new technology that makes the digital experience more immersive and interactive for the user and the technologies mainly constitute of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR). Augmented reality uses the real environment and overlays digital elements into it such as Snapchat filters and Pokémon Go game. Whereas, virtual reality entertains the user by creating a digital environment. Mixed reality uses both of these.

However, so far, these technologies have mostly been used for gaming. 2020 will see the incorporation of Extended Reality in the fields of education, healthcare, training and stimulation and entertainment. This has to be one of the most exciting technology trends to expect in 2020.

Although 5G network has already been launched in 2019, it is still on the expensive side and limited to certain regions. In 2020, expect the 5^th generation of mobile internet connectivity really take wings and spread worldwide providing affordable data plans. 5G networks will facilitate faster connections, blazing-fast download and upload speed along with improved coverage and stable connectivity.

With the faster internet connection, users will be able to stream movies and music without a hiccup. Similarly, the 5G network will enable businesses to collect and transfer data quicker and in larger amounts. It will also result in improvements in the Internet of Things (IoT).

Blockchain Technology

You must have heard about bitcoin making waves around the world. Blockchain technology is mostly talked about in connection to this cryptocurrency, however, it has many advantages with regards to the security it provides. Blockchain technology basically operates on the mechanism of encrypted and decentralised digital ledger that records data in the form of a ‘chain’. No changes can be made to the previous blocks of data, hence the security and elimination of third-party to validate transactions.

Bigwigs like IBM, FedEx and Mastercard have already invested in it in 2019. In 2020, Blockchain technology will get wider recognition and use. Facebook is also planning on launching its own Blockchain-based cryptocurrency Libra.

Everyone loves sleep. There are countless fitness gadgets out there that in addition to tracking your physical activities also monitor your sleep patterns. However, in the year 2020, we will witness a rise in devices and gadgets that measure so much more than when and how much you sleep. These gadgets will not only measure your pulse but also analyse oxygen level and brain activity. Sounds too futuristic? We’d let the time reveal.

Computer Vision

Computer vision indicates the technology that identifies objects, places, people and different items from the eyes of the camera or sensor. This technology powers Google Image Search and is also being used in the Snapchat app that recognises and identifies your face.

In 2020, we will see more widespread use of computer vision. Computer vision will be fundamental to autonomous cars. Using this technology, cars will be able to identify objects and people around them and navigate through the danger. Manufacturing businesses will also make use of computer vision with their machines enabled to single out defective products or report equipment failures. Face recognition will be the biggest use of this technology which is already been used by law enforcement and security agencies.

Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of things (IoT) is the future and 2020 will be big on it. From speakers, alarm clocks, electronic appliances, security systems, lighting to cars and so much more, everything these days come with Wi-Fi connectivity. Although we already are extensively using IoT, whether it’s tracking your progress on fitness devices, turn on your coffee maker remotely or simply using the vending machine, 2020 will see businesses incorporating IoT as well.
