ASUS ZenBook and VivoBook lineups refreshed with 11th-gen Intel processors in India

ASUS has announced its new lineup of notebooks in India today featuring the latest 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake processors in India. The ZenBook and VivoBook range are getting the new processors that were announced back in September, along with some new features added to the more premium models. Apart from the new processors, ASUS is also offering some of the models with NVIDIA’s mobile GPUs for improved graphics performance.

ASUS ZenBook

First let’s go through the ZenBook range, which is the company’s mid-to-upper range offering in the consumer notebook series. The new ZenBook Flip S UX371 takes the lead with its 4K UHD NanoEdge OLED HDR touch-screen display offering 400-nits of brightness. The ‘Flip’ denotes the fact that it comes with a 2-in-1 design allowing the display to be folded all the way to 180-degrees. ASUS claims that the panel on the ZenBook Flip S comes with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 and 133% of the sRGB color gamuts. It is also Pantone validated and is said to offer 1.6-times the color volume compared to LCDs. The touchscreen comes with support for touch-stylus pens with up to 4096 pressure points. Then there is the ZenBook Flip 13 UX363, a slightly affordable 2-in-1 offering compared to the Flip S, that features a 1080p OLED display along with a compact and sleek design.

The non-convertible versions of the ZenBook also get the new processor options including the ZenBook 14 UX435, which comes with the company’s ScreenPad feature. This is where the touchpad is actually a touchscreen and can be used to fire-up apps and software or even as a secondary display where you can drag and drop windows for improved multitasking. The slim and lightweight ZenBook 13 UX325 and ZenBook 14 UX425 models that were launched earlier this year with Intel’s 10th-gen processors, are also getting the latest processor options and are notably priced similarly to the last-gen models.

ASUS VivoBook

The VivoBook range has also been updated with the latest 11th-gen Intel processors, and these are aimed at mainstream notebook users. Hence, this range isn’t as premium as the ZenBook, but should offer a good value for money package.

ASUS VivoBook Flip TP470

The VivoBook S range comes in 13-inch (S333), 14-inch (S433), and 15-inch (S532) models while the VivoBook Flip 14 TP470 is a 2-in-1 option. The most affordable option is the VivoBook Ultra which will be offered in 14-inch (K413) and 15-inch (K513) size variants.

ASUS VivoBook K15 K513

All the above-mentioned notebooks are getting the new Intel Tiger Lake processors ranging from the Core i3-1115G4 to the Core i7-1165G7.

ASUS is offering the notebooks via various distribution channels including online partners Amazon, Flipkart, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, Croma as well as various offline retailers including their own distribution channel.

Sygic now available on Android Auto as an alternative to Google Maps and Waze

In August this year, Google announced that it had started working with developers from prominent navigation, parking, and electric vehicle charging apps to bring new categories of apps to Android Auto. At the time, the company had announced that these apps would make their way to beta testers by the end of the year. Popular third-party map and navigation app Sygic was part of the initial beta testing phase, and a beta version of the app is now finally available on Android Auto.

Reddit user u/jesusbabio first spotted the beta release and shared a screenshot of the Sygic app working on his car’s Android Auto head unit. While the post doesn’t shed any further info, a comment from a Sygic developer reveals that the beta version is now widely available, and users have to follow a couple of simple steps to start using the app in place of Google Maps and Waze.

If you wish to try out Sygic in your car, you’ll first have to head over to the app’s Play Store listing (linked below). On the listing, you’ll have to scroll all the way down and then tap on the “Join the BETA” button to join the app’s beta program. The process will take a few minutes, after which you should see an update for version 19.x of the app. Once you’ve updated the app, you’ll have to head over to the Sygic Store and find the Android Auto trial license. You can then activate it for free to get one month of access to Sygic on Android Auto.

It’s worth noting that the Android Auto trial license may not show up for all users due to a bug. However, Sygic is already working on a fix, and it should roll out in the coming days. If you have any feedback for the beta release, you can share it with the developers on this Facebook group.

These are the best OnePlus 8T cases in December 2020

If you just ordered yourself a sweet new OnePlus 8T (and if not, check out our OnePlus 8T review), you’ll want to make sure you can prevent fingerprints, scratches, and dust. There are literally hundreds of phone cases on the market, but how do you know if you’re buying a delight or a duffer? Allow us to help with our guide to the best OnePlus 8T cases.

As usual, there’s a basic plastic cover in the box – clear vinyl, flexible, snug-fitting, and this year, emblazoned with a ‘frosted“ ‘Never Settle’ slogan running vertically up the right-hand side. It’s a nice touch that makes it more appealing than a simple clear case, but this kind of case offers limited protection considering it is covering your sleek new phone’s contours. But what if you want more? Here are some options.

Official OnePlus 8T Sandstone Case

Good old faithful

The old classic is back. The sandstone is a rigid clip-on case which previous OnePlussers will probably be familiar with. The big attraction of this one is that it has a slightly rough-hewn surface which makes it easier to grip because let's face it, these smooth phones can be slippery little suckers. The Sandstone case is available in Black or Cyan.

$25 at OnePlus

OnePlus 8T Karbon Bumper Case

The best official case

Old faithful of the OnePlus case world, the Karbon is at the top end of the official designs. The familiar hard case with subtle diagonal pin-stripes is designed to add the maximum in knock and drop protection, with the lowest profile, most sympathetic to your sexy new handset. That level of design comes at a premium of course, and the Karbon is available in black only.

$40 at OnePlus

Otterbox Symmetry 8T Case

Affordable premium protection

Otterbox doesn’t always make the most exciting cases, but they’re tough as old boots, and we mean that in the nicest possible way. Largely, the Symmetry is similarly low-profile like the official Karbon case, but with the added bonus of slightly raised edges around the camera and touchscreen, which provides much better protection. Symmetry cases comply with DROP+, which is measured as 3x the protection of a military-grade case.

$38 at Amazon

dBrand OnePlus 8T Grip Case

Perfect for customization

One case. Many customizations. That’s the promise with dBrand, offering a 2mm thick case, including a design that encases the side buttons, protecting them whilst leaving more of the screen-free - an important consideration for a near bezel-less device. There are gripping edges down the sides which can be customized to your preferred color from a huge gamut and the whole thing reaches military protection ratings. dBrand also offers skins to be applied directly to the outer casing of your phone, but for full protection, the Grip Case is the way to go.

Starting at $40 at dBrand

UAG 8T Plasma Series Case

Best for butterfingers

Under Armor’s phone cases are among the toughest we’ve seen, combining a stiff translucent body with a rigid toughened frame. As a result, they do tend to add a bit of bulk to your phone, but even so, hardly any extra weight. As ever, it complies with Military Grade drop-protection standards and yet, thankfully, doesn't impact wireless charging or contactless payments. The translucent section is currently available in 'Ice' Blue which complements the handset perfectly. If you want big protection and don't mind making a bigger phone, this OnePlus 8T case should definitely be on your shortlist.

$40 at UAG

Olixar OnePlus 8T Leather-Style Wallet Stand Case

Great value with great features

The first folio-style case to make our list, we've chosen Olixar's thanks to the company's track record for producing great value cases without compromising on quality. There are the usual carbon-fiber offerings on offer, but we've decided to shine a light on the Wallet Stand, thanks to its imitation leather, three card slots, plus one larger slot of notes or receipts, magnetic clasp, and full compatibility with wireless charging and NFC payments. The whole folio can be rejigged to create a stand for the phone - great for games and watching videos.

$13 at Olixar

Simicoo Leather Wallet Case

Swiss Army Knife of Cases

This cowhide leather Simicoo product can be best described as a 'handbag' (or 'manbag'). The phone is kept in a matching slimline case that tucks into a specially designed slot in the wallet section. That wallet section has 11 slots to cover everything from notes and credit cards to your earbuds. There's also a magnetic clasp, whilst the crucial pockets have zippers and there's still room for the whole thing to become a kickstand. It won't show off your phone, but if you want an all-in-one solution for your stuff, this could be perfect. It's available in a choice of Blue, Black, Brown or Red (which is actually pink).

$21 at Amazon

Tereyi OnePlus 8T Ultra-Slim Patterened Silicone Case

Best for Style over Substance

We chose this one purely to show you that not all cases for the OnePlus 8T are one color! These Tereyi cases are simple, transparent silicone cases, similar to the one you'll find in the box with your phone. But if you don't want to walk around for the next year with 'Never Settle' across the back of your phone, there are six decal designs to choose from - baby elephants, pandas, kittens, and of course the ubiquitous 'Live Laugh Love' slogan. Not the highest spec cases on this list, more one for the Insta-crowd.

$15 at Amazon

Qitayo Crystal Clear Case

Show Off Your Phone

If you like seeing the back of your phone, you'll definitely want a clear case. Qitayo's case is thin and clear, giving you a small amount of protection while still being able to see your OnePlus 8T in its full glory. It's also the cheapest in this list, so give it a go for something simple and sweet. You get a fairly decent level of protection, and you can let your phone retain most of its character. While not included, this case also might work out if you like to rock a skin but want some protection sometimes when you go out.

$9 at Amazon

Spigen Ultra Hybird Case

Durable and Thin

Looking for something that will protect against most normal smartphone wear-and-tear, but don't want to bulk out your phone? Get the of both worlds with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case. This case has a nice protective bumper, but isn't so thick that it'll get in your way. The sweet spot between two worlds.

$14 at Amazon

Ringke Fusion-X Case

You'll Never See It

Like camo? You'll love Ringke's Fusion-X case. This durable case has a unique semi-transparent design that lets parts of your OnePlus 8T's exterior peek through the camo design. It's pretty neat when you look at it, but there are also clear versions of the case if camo isn't your thing.

$13 at Amazon

Nillkin CamShield Case

Protect the Lenses

Most cases don't do a very good job of protecting your camera lenses. They can get scratched too! Nillkin's CamShield case, however, has a slider on the back that will help you protect your camera when not in use. When you want to take a picture, just slide the protector away, and you're good to go!

$13 at Amazon

Our favorite pick of all the cases is the OnePlus 8T Karbon Bumper case. The Karbon series has been around since the early days of OnePlus and it’s proven consistently to be reliable. If you have slippery fingers and couldn’t transport an egg in the egg-and-spoon race at school, you’ll want to pick up the Otterbox Symmetry Case. If you want something a bit more unique, check out the Simicoo Detachable Leather Wallet!

WhatsApp Web and Desktop get voice and video calls feature in beta

WhatsApp has offered voice and video calling on its mobile clients for quite a while now. Sadly, its web and desktop clients don’t offer the features at the moment. This can prove to be quite a hassle for those who predominantly use these clients. Fortunately, WhatsApp has been working on bringing voice and video calling to its web and desktop clients, and we recently got our first look at the feature ahead of its official release.

Now, as per a recent report from WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has finally started testing voice and video calling in beta with a handful of users. As you can see in the attached screenshots, a few WhatsApp users have received new voice and video calling buttons in the chat header on the desktop and web clients. You can click on these buttons to make voice and video calls to the selected contact.

If you’re on the receiving end, a separate pop-up window will show up whenever someone calls you. The window will show the contact’s name, profile photo, and buttons to accept or reject the call.

Similarly, if you make a call, you should see a separate pop-up window with the name and profile photo of the contact you’re calling, a button to turn on/off video, a mute button, a menu button, and a button to hang up.

As mentioned earlier, the voice and video calling support on WhatsApp’s web and desktop client are currently in beta and are only available for a handful of users. While WhatsApp is yet to announce an official release date, the features should roll out to more users in the coming weeks. We’ll update this post as soon as we get any information regarding a wider rollout.

WhatsApp has released several new features in the last few weeks. You can read more about all the latest WhatsApp features by following this link.

Google focuses on Indic languages with easy language switch in Maps, bilingual Search toggles, and more

India is the land of a hundred languages, a place where the dialect changes every 100kms. In a tech world dominated by English, these local languages and dialects find themselves unable to provide access to meaningful experiences on the Internet. At the Google L10n virtual event today, Google is making it easier for multilingual users in India to have enriching experiences in India with easy language toggles for Google Search, better bilingual result surfacing in Google Search, easy language switch in Google Maps, homework help in Hindi through Google Lens, and a multilingual AI model called MuRIL to make it easier for computers to understand diverse human language.

Background

Before getting to the announcements, here is some background to explain the context to our international audience. A big chunk of India is bilingual and multilingual, with English being the first language of only 0.02% of India’s vast population of over 1.2 billion people. Only 10.6% of the total population can speak English. In contrast, 43.63% of the population speak Hindi as their first language, while 57.1% can speak Hindi overall (though this is divided into different sub-dialects). Other languages follow, but in smaller percentages — Bengali, Marathi, and Telugu in 8.9%, 8.2%, and 7.8% respectively. The long and short of it is that focusing technology around English as the only access medium gatekeeps the tech away from a very large number of users who would otherwise find the tech absolutely useful — and perhaps need it even more than those than already have access to the tech in other ways.

As I noted in my Google Nest Audio review, even something like a smart speaker offers less use in a multilingual setup as it would in an English-speaking household. Commands in mixed languages are not recognized that well (like a primarily English command with some Hindi words), and setting up bilingual languages is still limited to some combinations (Hindi + Urdu, or any two Indic languages are not a valid combination, but Hindi + English is). The situation is better than what it was some short years ago, but there’s still a fair way to go for improvements.

And Google knows this, forming the base for today’s announcements at the L10n event (a playful abbreviation for Localization, with 10 letters between L and n).

Announcements at Google L10n Event 2020

Easy toggling between English and Indian language results in Google Search

Google has been offering the ability to quickly swap between results in English and Hindi through a chip/tab in Google Search, in Indian states with a significant Hindi-speaking population. This chip bumped up the increase in Hindi queries by 10x in India.

The same is now being expanded to more Indic languages. Google Search will now offer the ability to toggle results between English and Tamil/Telugu/Bangla/Marathi as well.

Better Bilingual result surfacing in Google Search

Users in India, myself included, prefer to type things in English even if the results are expected in a local language. In fact, transliteration Hindi into English has given rise to Hinglish, which is Hindi written with the English alphabet.

Google Search is coming to the rescue for such bilinguals for their Search queries. Over the next month, Search will begin showing relevant content in supported Indian languages when appropriate, even if the query has been transliterated into English, giving rise to bilingual search results across more languages in addition to English as the primary. Supported Indian languages for the secondary are Hindi, Bangla, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Easy language switch in Google Maps

Google Assistant and Discover have the ability to switch to a different language than the system, allowing users to use these tools in their specific preference. More than 50% of the content in Google Discover is viewed in Indian languages in the country, and a third of Google Assistant users are using it in an Indian language.

The ability to change languages within the app is now being extended to Google Maps. Users can now simply open the app, go to Settings, and tap “App Language” to select from up to nine languages. This will make it easier for users to search for places, get directions, and navigate around in their preferred language for this task.

Homework help in Hindi through Google Lens

Google Lens already allows you to solve math problems to help with your kid’s homework. You can snap a photo of a math problem, and be shown a step-by-step guide on how to solve it. But this guide has been primarily displayed in English.

Google is now introducing Hindi solutions for homework help in Google Lens.

MuRIL — the multilingual AI model to help computer systems understand Indian languages at scale

A lot of the conversation around AI and machine learning centers around understanding humans and human language. But when languages take a hundred forms, this conversation balloons into a formidable task, more so than it already was. This is where MuRIL comes in.

Short for Multilingual Represtantions for Indian Languages, MuRIL is a multilingual model that scales across languages. Among other benefits, it also provides support for transliterated text such as when writing Hindi using the Roman script. MuRIL is also good at determining the sentiment of transliterated sentences. MuRIL supports 16 Indian languages as well as English, giving it the highest coverage for Indian languages among any other publicly available model of its kind.

MuRIL has been made open-source and is available for download from the TensorFlow Hub for free.

---

It’s great to see companies steer conversations towards wider acceptance of diverse languages. We hope efforts continue on this end for other languages and other regions as well.

Redmi 9 Power with 6000mAh battery, Snapdragon 662, MIUI 12 launches in India

The global pandemic disrupted how most smartphone brands operate. Xiaomi’s spin-off brand Redmi, which has been launching two Redmi Note generations per year since 2018, could not push past launching the 9th series. While the Redmi Note 9 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro/Pro Max were launched in India and parts of Europe earlier this year, they were not launched in China. Last month, when Xiaomi did finally launch the Redmi Note 9 series in China, these devices turned out to be entirely new SKUs. Out of these new devices, the Redmi Note 9 4G (China) (codenamed lime) is now making its way to India where it will be called the Redmi 9 Power (limein). The Redmi 9 Power gets its name from the large 6,000mAh battery that powers the device.

The Redmi 9 Power is meant for the budget segment, so Xiaomi is staying away from using a hole-punch display. It rocks a standard waterdrop notch display measuring 6.53-inches. The display has a resolution of Full HD+, a refresh rate of 60Hz, and is protected under a layer of Gorilla Glass 3.

The Redmi 9 Power is fairly identical to POCO’s latest budget device — POCO M3 (read our POCO M3 hands-on review). It runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 chipset and comes with up to 128GB of UFS storage. Unlike the Chinese version that comes with up to 8GB of RAM, the Redmi 9 Power comes with only 4GB RAM.

The only major difference is in terms of the rear cameras; the Redmi 9 Power features a quad camera setup including a 48MP primary camera with a Samsung GM2 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP depth sensor, a 2MP macro camera. On the front, the smartphone features an 8MP camera.

Although it is intended for the budget segment, the Redmi 9 Power features a stereo speaker setup for surrounding audio. The 6000mAh battery is complemented by 18W fast charging but you get a 22.5W charger in the box so you can use it with other devices as well. The smartphone is available in four different colors — black, orange, green, and blue.

In terms of software, the Redmi 9 Power comes with MIUI 12 based on Android 10.

Price & Availability

The different variants of the Redmi 9 Power are priced as follows:

• 4GB + 64GB – ₹10,999
• 4GB+ 128GB – ₹11,999

The smartphone will be available in India starting December 23rd on Amazon India, Mi.com, and Mi Home retail stores.

Look for Seamless Setup support on your next Google Assistant smart home gadget

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of setting up a cheap Chinese smart bulb, you’d know that the setup process can be a bit of a hassle. You first have to download an app from the smart bulb’s manufacturer, create an account on that app, connect the smart bulb to the app, and then finally connect your account to Google Home to start using the smart bulb with the Google Assistant. And while that may sound simple enough, the process isn’t really as seamless as it may seem.

To ensure that users have a better experience setting up their smart devices, Google started working with some smart home gadget makers last year to simplify the setup process. This resulted in Seamless Setup, a new setup process for smart home gadgets that allows you to set up compatible devices from start to finish right in the Google Home app. The C by GE smart lights were the first smart home devices to feature support for the new Seamless Setup process, and Google has since published a support page that lists devices that support Seamless Setup in Google Home (first spotted by Android Police).

With the recent launch of the Yeelight Smart LED Bulb M2, Google finally published a YouTube video that advertises Seamless Setup. As you can see in the video, smart home devices that support Seamless Setup in the Google Home app feature a special badge indicating as such. This is something that you should be on the lookout for if you want to avoid the cumbersome setup process that I talked about earlier. Philips, for instance, does a great job of advertising Seamless Setup support on its line of Hue-branded smart home lights. Alternatively, you can check out the aforementioned support page that lists all the Seamless Setup supported devices.
