Redmi Watch 2 price leaks ahead of China launch, tipped to feature larger display

It looks like Redmi is preparing to launch a brand new wearable. The folks over at GizmoChina spotted the Redmi Watch 2 listed on Chinese retailer, JD.com. As per the listing, the wearable is priced at CNY 399, which is roughly Rs 4,700 when directly converted. It is not yet known if or when the watch will be available in India.

The report notes that the new Redmi Watch 2 is tipped to feature a 1.6-inch AMOLED display. By comparison, the current generation of the Redmi Watch packs a slightly smaller 1.4-inch display with an LCD panel. The AMOLED display on the new watch should allow for features such as an always-on display while also improving battery life.

Other details aren’t yet confirmed, but we can speculate based on what the Redmi Watch GPS has to offer. The new phone comes with built-in GPS, so it should be safe to assume that the Redmi Watch 2 should also sport one. Further, the Redmi Watch GPS comes with 11 sports modes, so the upcoming device should be on par here or should offer even more activity tracking options. The watch is scheduled to launch in China on October 28.

Redmi is also preparing to launch the Redmi Note 11 series in China on October 28. Speaking of the phones, the company is expected to launch three new phones in the Redmi Note 11 series. These include the Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Redmi Note 11 Pro+. The manufacturer recently confirmed on Weibo that the new series will see the introduction of 120W fast charging.

Currently, it is not yet known if or when Redmi will launch the Note 11 series or the Redmi Watch 2 in India. The Redmi Note 10 was launched in India in March this year, so one can expect a similar timeframe for the launch of the new phones.

Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security. Here are your top stories for the week 4:20 – Snapdragon 855 performance and benchmarking: Speed Test G, AnTuTu & Geekbench At CES, Gary Sims previewed the Snapdragon 855 processor in reference hardware. He had some fun with it. 21:45 – You’ll flip for the foldable Motorol...

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
