Jio Game Controller: Specs

The very first advantage of this gaming controller is that it offers amazing compatibility across many platforms. The Game Controller can be used with Android tablets and TVs and other devices. However, the ones using Jio set-top box will enjoy it the most. Unfortunately, you won’t get Play Station or Xbox connectivity/compatibility with this one.

Global smartwatch market grows 13% YoY in Q1 2022; Apple leads, Samsung solidifies second place

smartwatch

Despite concerns over economic slowdown and inflation, the global smartwatch market recorded 13% more shipments compared to the same period last year. Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Garmin, and Amazfit dominated the market, according to the Counterpoint Research’s recently published Global Smartwatch Model Tracker.

Apple took the first place with a solid lead and increased 14% YoY in Q1 2022. Some shipments carried over to Q1 2022 due to a month late launch of Apple Watch 7, which helped continue the strength of the brand.

Samsung solidified second place with 46% YoY increase in shipments, followed by Huawei and Xiaomi. Thanks to the popularity of Galaxy Watch 4 series which helped Samsung grew significantly in the APAC region.

Huawei remained flat YoY in terms of shipments, while Xiaomi recorded its first top four position with 69% YoY growth. Due to the weak position in the international market caused by GMS restrictions, the proportion of the Chinese market in the Huawei’s total shipments is gradually increasing.

With 69% YoY growth, Xiaomi is breaking its shipment record every quarter as it rapidly penetrates globally. A large proportion of its sales come from the low-end segment under $100.

Garmin and Amazfit are other top performers. Garmin ranked fifth in terms of shipments, but ranked in third in terms of revenues thanks to its higher ASP. Garmin occupies the majority portion in the premium segment over $500.

Amazfit maintained its market share by occupying sixth place thanks to the GTR 3 and GTS 3 series that launched in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the meantime, it has been working to expand outside of China and has had some success increasing its presence in Europe.

Region wise, only Europe recorded flat growth, while other grew YoY. Other major brands such as Garmin and Fitbit performed weakly in the European market as compared to Apple and Samsung. These two brands continued to grow year-over-year, during this period.

Experts are of the view that impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine will become more serious in Q2.

With 24% YoY in fourth quarter of the 2021, smartwatch market recorded highest ever quarterly shipments. It came as a breather for the market as the global smartwatch market shipments hardly grew in 2020 due to COVID-19. The fourth quarter alone saw shipments of more than 40 million units, the highest quarterly shipments ever.

Samsung, Amazfit and Garmin recorded a higher growth than the market average, although Apple remained the undisputed leader. The Indian market quadrupled YoY thanks to the notable growth of local brands such as Noise.

How to use the shared stories feature on Snapchat

With all the social platforms bringing various upgrades, Snapchat also decided to join the queue. So, it has also added a new feature to its already long feature list available on the platform. The new feature is named “Shared Stories”, which is also an iteration of the already available “Custom Stories” ability.

With the new feature, Snapchat is giving the snap chatters a bigger platform to connect and share all the fun with the maximum crowd. Using this new feature, the users can not only invite their friends but also connect with their other friends to join the story, creating maximum engagement on that post. Here’s a detailed view of what the feature offers:

Snapchat shared stories: Invite the friends of your friends

Snapchat is set to bring the “Shared Stories”, a feature that redesigns the way how users collaborate and share memories. Snapchat already had “Custom Stories” that work in the same way, but with a very limited range. Custom Stories allows the creator to make a story and then add a selected list of friends to view and contribute. However, with the “Shared Stories,” the users can add their friends and then those friends can add their friends and make it a whole party.

As snap also says,  “for the whole soccer team, camp squad, or group of coworkers to get in on the fun,” the feature is super fun. Also, one thing that is the same with this also is that like every other Snap, this one too will stay for 24 hours and then disappear.

How to start with the get started with Snapchat shared stories

You can start a Shared Story by heading to your profile, tapping the new story option and then selecting “Shared Story.” As with all stories sent on Snapchat, Snaps sent to a Shared Story are automatically deleted after 24 hours. However, unlike regular friend Stories and Groups, there isn’t a chat component for Shared Stories. Snapchat says content is moderated using a combination of automatic language detection and community review tools. In addition, the app will notify users if they’ve joined a Shared Story with someone they have blocked. Snapchat says this will allow users to remain in control of who they share content with on the app.

Snapchat reveals that this feature lets users turn shared moments into shared memories. Similar to the custom stories, where it allows you to invite your friends to a story, this feature goes ahead and lets your friends as well invite their other friends to contribute and share their memories to a story.

“Now, with our new and improved Shared Stories, Snapchatters who’ve been added to the group can add their friends as well, making it easier for the whole soccer team, camp squad, or group of new coworkers to get in on the fun,” said the company in its blog post.

In case you have joined a Shared Story with someone who you have blocked on Snapchat, then Snapchat will notify you about it, and so if you want to leave the Shared Story, you can easily do it.

“We also notify Snapchatters if they have joined a Shared Story with someone they have blocked. This gives Snapchatters the opportunity to leave the Shared Story, and ensures Snapchatters are always in complete control over who they share content with on our platform,” the blog post continued.

How to use the Snapchat Shared Stories feature

1. Open Snapchat and click on the Profile icon on the top left.

2. Click on the “+New Story” option next to the My Stories header.

3. Select Shared Stories from the list of options.

Beyerdynamic MMX 100 and MMX 150 gaming headsets: The perfect Meta Pick for your ears

Beyerdynamic MMX 100 and MMX 150

German audio brand Beyerdynamic has come up with two new gaming headsets in its popular MMX series. The new additions – MMX 100 and MMX 150 – are specifically meant for gamers, who are looking for innovative features and want the plug-and-play comfort of a headset, besides excellent audio.

With the combination of excellent wearing comfort, dedicated sound for gamers and the new Meta Voice microphone, Beyerdynamic offers the right product – the Meta Pick, so to speak – for every gamer.

The Meta Pick allows gamers to play strategically and thus always find the best champion. For premium studio-quality sound, Beyerdynamic’s driver systems are the best Meta Pick for your ears due to decades of audio experience and passion for gaming.

MMX 100 and MMX 150 – A new era of gaming headsets 

The MMX 100 is an analog gaming headset with unparalleled sound, perfect for gamers who prefer to play on the console and connect the headset directly to the controller. It is compatible with all platforms that have an analog output with 4-pole and a 2×3-pole 3.5 mm jack plug. The MMX 150 is a digital USB gaming headset with integrated sound card and tuned features for passionate gamers.

The built-in 40 mm driver systems are specifically optimized for gaming by Beyerdynamic’s acoustic engineers and provide a high-resolution sound image. The result is a clear and precise sound that is audible in all genres: In FPS games, the precise sound localization convincingly gives a clear advantage in a wide variety of situations, and RPGs feel even more realistic due to the distinct sound image.

Both headsets feature the new Meta Voice cardioid condenser microphone. The high demands in gaming require a natural voice transmission with as little surrounding noise in the background as possible. The 9.9 mm capsule reproduces the voice image naturally and realistic, while typical noise such as mouse and keyboard clicks is suppressed.

The controls are located directly on both headsets. The convenient control wheel and intuitive controls allow you to run the volume quickly and precisely without leaving the game. Additionally, the microphone can be muted directly via the separate mute button. The MMX 150 also features a Light Guide System on the control wheel to make features such as Augmented Mode and Mute visually apparent.

Augmented Mode – Direct access to the outside world

Gaming is the window to another world, where one adventure after another awaits. But even in the most exciting moments, we sometimes need to devote our attention to the outside world. So, to maintain the balance between the digital and the real world, the MMX 150 is equipped with the new Augmented Mode.

In Augmented Mode, the surrounding sounds are detected and mixed into the playback signal in real time. This allows interaction with the outside world without having to interrupt the game, and awareness of one’s own voice and volume is always guaranteed.

Sophisticated design delivers hours of wearing comfort

The MMX 100 and MMX 150 combine classic Beyerdynamic aesthetics with functionality for the ultimate gaming experience. The high-quality aluminum headband is the binding piece of the long-lasting headset. To prevent pressure points on the head, the headband is equipped with a synthetic leather band with memory foam. The memory foam-filled synthetic leather ear pads also guarantee long hours of wearing comfort and are even faster and easier to replace, thanks to the bayonet mechanism.

Availability and Pricing 

The MMX 100 is available for Rs 11,999 and the MMX 150 for Rs 14,999. Both the models are available with two colour variants, Black and Grey at the online store at beyerdynamicindia.com, headphonezone.in and amazon.in.
