0

One Plus is already preparing the stage for its upcoming launch -One Plus 10 Pro. The launch was announced at the MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2022 last month. Earlier, the brand unveiled its Nord CE 2 5G in the Indian market. While the brand is giving so many surprises with amazing launches almost every other month, we’ve also heard of new render.

One Plus launch timeline 2022 leak

According to a recent leak, OnePlus is planning to deliver six new phones in 2022. It’s no secret that the Chinese firm wants to export its best-selling handsets, but the six new phones slated to launch later this year might show that OnePlus is going all-out with its next launches.

The information comes from the renowned tipster Yogesh Brar, who tweeted the OnePlus launch schedule for this year. According to Brar, following the March launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro, the company will release the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite in April, the OnePlus Nord 2T in late April or early May, the OnePlus 10R in May, the OnePlus Nord 3, also known as the OnePlus Nord Pro, in July 2022, and a OnePlus 10 Ultra in Q3 2022. The OnePlus 10 Ultra is the company’s final product launch in the nation.

One plus new launches

Adding to this, all the other launches seem fairly Standard following the name of One Plus’s usual smartphone line. However, the one standing out has to be the One Plus 10 Ultra. The international release of the base 10 Pro has been long-awaited, and as more people get their hands on it, it appears to be a good smartphone. On the other hand, knowing that a more powerful version is on the way, with the ability to compete with high-end Samsung and Apple phones, is great news for smartphone fans. It is definitely going to be a premium one overshadowing its base variant in many ways.

One Plus 10 Pro is coming to India – Specs and other details

The OnePlus 10 Pro is coming to India later this month. It is the company’s most recent flagship model, which debuted in China earlier this year. The device will come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, starting from 54,000 (Expected).

Other Specifications include a 6.7-inches AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will also feature a corning Gorilla glass protecting it.

The OnePlus 10 Pro will feature a triple camera array at the back with a 48MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens. It boasts a 32MP selfie camera, in a punch-hole cutout at the front.

Unfortunately, there have been no reports of a OnePlus 10T in the ‘T’ series this year as well. OnePlus skipped the OnePlus 9T last year in favour of the OnePlus 9RT, which was released in India and other territories in early 2022 and late 2021, respectively.

After a successful launch of its first product ‘OpenAlert’, Mumbai-based Baybot is extremely pleased to announce its next product in securing homes and workspaces.

Introducing MotionAlert – a simple, yet highly efficient motion sensor that detects movements accurately and sends an instant notification to your smartphone. This wireless connected device can also be put to work to open doors, switch on lights, and a lot more by integrating this into a smart environment using Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or IFTTT.

Imagine a scenario – your baby is all alone sleeping peacefully in his/her room and a stray cat just happened to visit his/her crib through the window. Or a situation where your retail store’s locker room area has an unexpected visitor at night. How would you know any of this is happening when you aren’t at the location?

Let’s take another scenario – your aged grandma is visiting you and has trouble walking around easily. She heads to the restroom at midnight but does not know where the light switch is. Simply install a Baybot MotionAlert in every area that needs to be monitored for movement, or automated with movement.

In short, a BayBot MotionAlert is a simple, yet powerful connected sensor that works towards alerting you the moment it senses activity in the area it is installed. Additionally, it can also be paired with smart AI-based assistants and IFTTT to automate almost everything based on a movement sensing algorithm.

Baybot’s MotionAlert is a WiFi-enabled motion sensor that runs off just two AAA cells and connects to your home or office WiFi. Mount it to the ceiling or wall with the bundled 2-way adhesive or wall-mounting accessory and leave the rest to Baybot. Pair the MotionAlert to your cloud account and instantly start receiving alerts on your smartphone the moment there is any activity detected in the room or area.

Baybot MotionAlert can sense movement in a 5-meter radius/distance from it. The best installation places are the ceiling and walls, but avoid using them in corners. Once set up, you can monitor the security status from your smartphone directly. When it detects motion, it will instantly send an alert to your smartphone. Secure your home, office, warehouses/storerooms, strong rooms, and any place you need additional security.

And to make things even better, you can assign MotionAlert to work along with some of your smart devices at home or office. Use it to trigger doors locks, room lights, stairway lights, turn on the spotlights at the entrance or gate, ring a chime the moment you have a customer at the shop, and anything you can imagine to be automated (even turn on the music/AC when someone moves in). All you need to do is have over that automation to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or IFTTT.

Pricing

The Baybot MotionAlert Smart Wireless Motion Sensor will be available for Rs 1,849 on Baybot.in and Flipkart, with a 12-month warranty period.

Dyson announces next-gen Airwrap with new attachments

0

The Dyson AirWrap is arguably the most sought beauty item ever made. The device went viral on TikTok as everyone was using it in their video and tutorials. The $599 device promises to dry, smooth, curl, and volumize all hair types- and it just got better. 

Yes. Dyson has announced the launch of its new generation of Dyson Airwrap hair styling tool that will be available in the United States in the summer of 2022. Along with the new generation Airwrap, the company has also announced a host of new attachments with the latest features to style your hair in different and better ways.

Why Dyson Airwrap?

You might be thinking, why there’s so much hype about the Dyson Arwrap? What is unique does it offer? Isn’t it also a heating tool ultimately damaging the hair?

Well, Dyson does have some different features than your regular hair tools. It’s on a whole different level. 

Dyson Airwrap improved set

Have you heard of the Coanda effect? Dyson Airwrap uses the Coanda effect to assist the users to style their hair without using too much heat. The Coanda effect describes a fluid jet’s tendency to stay connected to a convex surface, whether it’s air or liquid. The Airwrap attracts hair and changes its form by creating a cylindrical flow of warm air around the gadget. This eliminates the need for direct heat application to the hair, lowering the risk of heat damage. 

Well, it’s all science and rockets. However, the Dyson Airwrap has been a cult favourite since its launch.

According to a press release, Dyson creator James Dyson stated that most styling products on the market overlook the fact that hair types vary greatly, and that the new Dyson comes in with many attachments suitable to a variety of purposes.

Latest Dyson Airwrap: What’s new?

This is what we are excited about! What are the new improvements it is bringing? So, Dyson has three new attachments in store for you. By combining utility and boosting adaptability, these accessories are meant to increase the overall performance of the Dyson Airwrap. Let’s take a look further!

Coanda smoothing dryer

 Coanda smoothing hairdryer is one of the significant announcements to the new Dyson. This will effectively take the place of the pre-styling drying attachment. The bulk of the barrel appears to be covered, with the exception of a single long vent and a tiny nozzle through which you may aim it, and it looks radically unlike anything else Dyson has published.

 Airwrap dryer

By twisting the vent via the tip, you may choose between two settings on the attachment. If you want to go on to another attachment, you may use the pre-styling option, which opens a tiny vent directly from the barrel for general drying or smoothing mode, which twists the vent into the nozzle for a more targeted airflow.

“Quickly take hair from wet to damp in pre-style mode or finish your style by hiding flyaways in smoothing mode. Coanda airflow attracts and lifts longer hairs, hiding flyaways out of sight for a smoother, shiny finish,” adds the release.

Airwrap curling barrels

Well, it’s one of the biggest upgrades to the Airwrap. While curling the hairs into different directions, we do need to alternate between the barrels as well. This not only gives precise curls but makes them look more smooth and effortless. However, the whole process is kind of fiddly. So, these new curling barrels are there for your rescue!

 Airwrap curling brush

You no longer need to swap barrels since the next-generation curling barrel may be configured to dry the curl in either way. A simple flow switch situated at the barrel’s tip can be used to accomplish this. This innovation appears to make curling with the Airwrap much more convenient. Plus, you won’t have to worry about storing an extra barrel or quickly touching a hot barrel to swap. 

If you’re concerned about burning your hands on the tip as you change directions, Dyson has taken care to ensure that the tip remains cold. This technique appears to be included in a variety of curling barrels, including ones meant for longer hair.

Next-gen soft brushes

You’ll now get much better and smoother effects with the brush. All thanks to the Coanda Airflow.

The brush styling tool will be improved as well. The bristles on the central island will be removed to make room for a bigger vent in the centre. The brush will now apply airflow more evenly over the hair as a result of this modification. Furthermore, because the bristles move with the hair, the air is directed in the most efficient direction as you brush, and the same ‘Coanda effect’ should result in fewer flyaways.

Airwrap Brush

Talking about the newer upgrades, James Dyson said, “Most styling tools ignore that hair types are very different—what attachment may work for one, could be detrimental to another. The advancements in the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler build on the success of its predecessor, through relentless research, user trials and advancements in computational fluid dynamics”. “The result: direction change barrels for faster and easier curling, re-engineered brush attachments for more precise shaping, and an entirely new, dual-purpose Coanda smoothing dryer. Our ability to control airflow delivers enhanced Coanda performance to curl, shape and hide flyaways—without extreme heat.”

Will the new attachments work with the previous Airwrap?

Yes, absolutely! Don’t worry if you have already paid $599 for the first-generation Airwrap. The new accessories will be available for purchase separately. Prices will be the same as the current model’s attachments, which are $39.99 each. So, if you want the whole array of new attachments, including the long and short curling barrels, the new drier, and the new brushes, you’ll have to spend between $200 and $300 to upgrade your Airwrap.

New Dyson Airwrap: Availability in India

Dyson Airwrap availability

We have no clue when the product will be launched as they’ve not revealed any dates yet. However, we do know that the new iteration will arrive this summer very soon. Don’t worry, as soon as we get the details we” make sure to update it here as well!
