BMX launches GaNsta™ Pixel, a Smaller 140W Laptop Charger

<p><b>BMX (Better Mobile Xperience)</b>, the mobile power company behind the award-winning SolidSafe™ range, today unveiled <b>GaNsta™ Pixel</b>, a 100W and 140W GaN charger line built around two ideas: make the laptop charger smaller, then make charging visible. GaNsta™ Pixel delivers MacBook-class power in a charger up to 43% smaller than the one it replaces, with a <b>pixel LED display</b> that shows live wattage and gives the charger a reason to be seen.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Smaller Than The Charger In Your Bag</b></p><p>The charger that comes with the Mac does the job. It also takes up more room than it needs to. GaNsta™ Pixel starts there: 140W Pixel is 43% smaller than the charger that comes with a MacBook Pro, while 100W Pixel is 37% smaller than the charger that comes with a MacBook Air or 96W-class laptop charger.</p><p>The proof is physical: both models measure 62 x 65 x 35.9mm. The smaller body is not a tradeoff, either. The 140W model delivers full-speed MacBook Pro charging from either primary USB-C port. The 100W model is built for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 14-inch, iPad, phones, earbuds, and the rest of a daily carry setup.</p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFdJ1RuyZUMHC4ICdaUawQFX59nI4orNbpakIRGTTKyzBnp5_8nV6ZnlOBL5t-IqbbMUsKwQCrnRql0WEyruPVJPQR2j89oErs9fyro5Opy6f5xGdz4OBwSmQSRLckcHrI8o8zXqguIe5rxZTppvgG3fmUe8JNxVHA5m58xwsgsWbmGOZoIaggeF_Ogk/s599/bmx-gansta-pixel-140w-laptop-charger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img alt="bmx-gansta-pixel-140w-laptop-charger" border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFdJ1RuyZUMHC4ICdaUawQFX59nI4orNbpakIRGTTKyzBnp5_8nV6ZnlOBL5t-IqbbMUsKwQCrnRql0WEyruPVJPQR2j89oErs9fyro5Opy6f5xGdz4OBwSmQSRLckcHrI8o8zXqguIe5rxZTppvgG3fmUe8JNxVHA5m58xwsgsWbmGOZoIaggeF_Ogk/s1600/bmx-gansta-pixel-140w-laptop-charger.jpg" title="bmx-gansta-pixel-140w-laptop-charger" /></a></b></div><b><br />Live Wattage With Personality</b><p></p><p>The pixel LED display is what makes Pixel different. It is useful first: the screen cycles through C1, C2, C3, A1, and TTL views, showing live wattage by port and total output as devices charge. Pixel animations show charging, standby, and fault states, so users can see which port is active and how much power is moving.</p><p>It is also the part that gives the charger its character. The retro-futuristic readout turns a normally invisible process into something visible, expressive, and easy to understand at a glance. Gray, Blue, and Orange make Pixel feel like something people would want in their house, on their desk, on a nightstand, or in a travel bag.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>One Charger For Travel And Commute</b></p><p>Pixel is built for the bag people actually carry: laptop, phone, tablet, earbuds, and the cables that come with all of them. The four-port layout lets one small charger cover the commute, the desk, the hotel room, and the flight delay without forcing people to pack a separate charger for every device.</p><p>The hardware backs that up. USB-C1 and USB-C2 are the laptop-first ports: up to 140W each on the 140W model, or up to 100W each on the 100W model. USB-C3 supports up to 65W for tablets, smaller laptops, or fast-charging phones, while USB-A supports older cables and smaller accessories up to 22.5W. Pixel also includes a foldable US plug, EU/UK/AU adapters, a 1m braided USB-C cable, a suede travel pouch, and a 24-month limited warranty.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both Pixel models inherit the GaNsta™ protection stack: overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overpower protection, electrostatic protection, fire resistant housing, and intelligent temperature management. The GaN chipset has been tested across 17 billion+ hours with fewer than one failure per billion.</p>

Google Pixel 11 Series, Pixel Watch 5, and Pixel Tag launched - Everything You Need to Know

<p>Google has unveiled four new smartphones - the <b>Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL</b>, and <b>Pixel 11 Pro Fold- </b>bringing a new <b>Tensor G6 chip</b>, a redesigned camera bar, brighter displays, and a much stronger focus on AI-powered features.</p><p>The most noticeable design change is the camera bar. Google has redesigned it with edge-to-edge glass that flows into the phone's metal frame, creating a look that is intended to better match the company's broader hardware ecosystem, including <b>Pixel Snap chargers</b>, cases, and the <b>Pixel Watch</b>.</p><p>At the heart of the new phones is Google's Tensor G6 processor. The company claims the chip delivers a 50 percent increase in TPU compute performance, which is expected to improve computational photography, <b>speed up Night Sight captures</b>, and make on-device AI features more responsive. The phones also include a <b>new Titan M3 security coprocessor</b>, which Google says incorporates post-quantum cryptography and meets the same security certification standard used for SIM and bank cards.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/08/google-pixel-11-series-pixel-watch-5-pixel-tag.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" border="0" data-original-height="451" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjynSL2QnYsduOheRJzgNRg4E50GkwwaZOUoDyB6o5W6mC0dRjLF99yYHdv7uH3RFdnWfDY37D8zo7KtQTwjqldMRPRPVL3bNuKHBJHOeSXhReM6qWRa9p_FREzY_vpGMZJmCaEBeUYofeUJIkPugt2KmHzq2Zi9LlxETZ60QydK04eBvkZmtUncInpcgg/s1600/google-pixel-11-series-pixel-watch-5-pixel-tag.jpg" title="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" /></a></div><br />Google has also upgraded the displays across the Pixel 11 lineup. The standard Pixel 11 features a <b>3,000-nit Actua display</b>, while the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL get a <b>3,600-nit Super Actua panel</b>. Google says the new Pro displays are 9 per cent brighter and more than twice as scratch-resistant as the previous generation. The internal display on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is also 20 per cent brighter than its predecessor.<p></p><p>Storage has been upgraded across the lineup as well. All four models now start at 256GB, eliminating the 128GB base-storage option found on last year's entry-level models. Google is also promising seven years of OS, security, and <b>Pixel Drop updates</b> for every phone.</p><p>As expected, some features remain exclusive to the higher-end models. The new <b>HiLight ambient lighting</b> feature built into the camera flash is limited to the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL, while the standard Pixel 11 and Pro Fold don't receive it. Zoom capabilities are also divided between the models. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL support <b>Pro Zoom up to 120x</b>, while the Pixel 11 and Pro Fold max out at 30x Super Zoom.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/08/google-pixel-11-series-pixel-watch-5-pixel-tag.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" border="0" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/Pixel-11ProXL_Family-Shot.width-2000.format-webp.webp" title="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" width="280" /></a></p><p>Several software features, however, are available across the entire lineup. <b>Magic Capture</b> lets users capture a share-ready photo and video simultaneously with a single swipe, while <b>Camera Looks</b> introduces customizable film-style presets.</p><p>The phones also get full support for <b>Gemini Intelligence</b>, which Google is positioning as one of the biggest highlights of the Pixel 11 generation.</p><p>The new features come with a higher price tag across the board as the starting price for each model is increased as follows - Pixel 11 - $899, Pixel 11 Pro- $1,099, Pixel 11 Pro XL- $1,299, Pixel 11 Pro Fold- $1,899.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Pixel Watch 5</b></p><p>The new Pixel Watch 5 focuses heavily on health, fitness, and AI-powered coaching. According to Google, the smartwatch can track blood pressure patterns and insulin resistance trends over time, while continuing to offer features such as <b>AFib detection, stress monitoring, SpO2 tracking</b>, and <b>breathing-rate monitoring</b>. The collected information can be viewed through the Google Health app.</p><p>Fitness tracking also gets a significant overhaul. The Pixel Watch 5 introduces a <b>pre-workout Readiness Score</b>, custom strength and HIIT circuit creation through Google Health, and real-time audio and visual coaching during workouts. <b>Dual-frequency GPS</b> is designed to provide a more reliable connection in dense urban areas, while a <b>new Key Metrics view</b> makes it easier to review workout performance afterward.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/08/google-pixel-11-series-pixel-watch-5-pixel-tag.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSEda1FnmVj51amYwI0skj35zMhLC2GRH-oWkEyj6zMLGfVocryQPTIG9w&s=10" title="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" width="280" /></a></p><p><b>Sleep tracking</b> has been expanded with a new <b>Sleep Breathing Quality</b> metric that analyzes overnight variations in blood oxygen saturation. Existing features such as sleep-stage tracking and <b>Smart Wake Alarms</b> remain, while the<b> redesigned Morning Brief</b> combines sleep, readiness, and weather information in a single summary.</p><p>Google is also introducing <b>Google Health Coach</b>, a Gemini-powered feature available through <b>Google Health Premium</b>. It can create adaptive fitness plans and provide ongoing feedback based on data such as sleep, fitness, and cycle health. Buyers receive three months of Google Health Premium at no additional cost, and the service is also included with <b>Google AI Pro </b>and <b>Google AI Ultra</b> subscriptions.</p><p>On the hardware side, the Pixel Watch 5 is powered by <b>Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 "Accelerated" chip</b>, which Google says is 20 per cent faster than the previous generation. It features an <b>Actua 360 display </b>protected by scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass. Battery life is rated at up to <b>30 hours for the 41mm model</b> and up to<b> 40 hours for the 45mm version</b>. A new <b>Quick Charge Dock </b>can reportedly provide up to 15 hours of use after just 15 minutes of charging.</p><p>The pricing of the Pixel Watch 5 is $399. Google has also announced a <b>Special Edition Pixel Watch 5</b> created in collaboration with Stephen Curry, featuring a unique band and custom watch face.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Gemini Intelligence</b></p><p>AI is arguably the biggest theme of the Pixel 11 generation. Google describes Gemini Intelligence as making the new Pixels more "agentic," allowing Gemini to proactively use information from a user's apps and help complete tasks.</p><p>For example, Gemini can surface calendar availability when someone asks whether you're free. In the US, users can also hand over routine tasks such as ordering groceries or booking a ride directly to Gemini.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/08/google-pixel-11-series-pixel-watch-5-pixel-tag.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" border="0" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/TensorChip.width-2000.format-webp.webp" title="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" width="280" /></a></p><p>Another feature allows Gemini to make phone calls to businesses on the user's behalf. Users can follow the conversation through a live transcript and take control of the call whenever necessary.</p><p>Google is also improving voice-to-text and writing assistance. New tools can clean up spoken messages in real time, while writing features can understand what's displayed on the screen and help draft or rewrite responses in the user's personal style.</p><p>Accessibility is another area benefiting from the technology. Google is introducing real-time sign-language translation through Pixel Camera and Gboard, allowing sign language to be converted into text to help deaf and hard-of-hearing users communicate with people who don't know sign language. <b>Live Transcribe</b> is also getting a redesigned interface.</p><p>Customers who purchase a Pro or Fold model receive six months of Google AI Pro at no additional cost, which Google values at $119. The subscription includes expanded Gemini access, 5TB of cloud storage, and Google Health Premium.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Pixel Tag</b></p><p>Google has also officially introduced the long-rumored Pixel Tag, its new item-tracking device designed to compete with products such as <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/02/apple-airtag-2-bluetooth-tracker-review.html" target="_blank">Apple's AirTag</a>.</p><p>Pixel Tag works with the<b> Find Hub network</b> on Android 9 and newer devices. Users can pair a tag, assign it a name, and share access with up to 10 people. When an item goes missing, its location can be viewed on a map in the Find Hub app. If the tag is nearby, its built-in speaker can be activated to make it easier to locate.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/08/google-pixel-11-series-pixel-watch-5-pixel-tag.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" border="0" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/TaginHand_Horizontal_inline.width-2000.format-webp.webp" title="Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold" width="280" /></a></p><p>For more precise positioning, Google says Pixel Tag combines <b>Ultra-Wideband technology</b> with <b>Bluetooth Channel Sounding</b>. This can help locate a tag hidden inside a bag, underneath furniture, or in another hard-to-find location. If the tag moves beyond Bluetooth range, the wider Find Hub network can help locate it using nearby Android devices. Google says the network includes more than one billion devices. Pixel Tag can also notify users if they leave an item behind or if an unknown tag appears to be traveling with them.</p><p>The tracker is made from stainless steel, measures less than two inches in length, and offers around a year of battery life.</p><p>Pixel Tag is priced at $29 for a single unit and $99 for a four-pack, with availability scheduled for November 11.</p>

Insta360 launches X6 Flagship 8K 360 Camera

<p><b>Insta360</b> today announced <b>X6</b>, its new flagship 8K 360 camera and the biggest leap in the history of the X series. X6 pairs <b>1-inch equivalent imaging</b> with a <b>triple AI chip </b>and an <b>AI editor</b> that goes to work before you ever open the app. It also does something no X camera has done before: it replaces three cameras with one. Shoot in full 360, track subjects into flat 4K, or switch to a single-lens action cam, all from the same pocket-sized body.</p><p>X6 is available starting August 12, 2026, from the Insta360 Official Store, Amazon, and select retailers, priced from US$699.99.</p><p><b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/06/insta360-luna-ultra-dual-lens-8k-gimbal-camera.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Insta360 X6" border="0" src="https://wassets.insta360.com/common/d9fb0e80a4d14e16975fef1a82b87e29/16-9.jpg" title="Insta360 X6" width="280" /></a></b></p><p><b>Superior Image Quality, Day and Night</b></p><p>X6 sees more light than any X camera before it. Custom dual <b>Sony 1/1.1" square sensors</b> deliver full 1-inch 360 imaging, 33% more sensor area than X5 and around four times the light intake per frame. Low light, harsh backlight, high contrast: X6 keeps detail where earlier cameras gave up.</p><p>Behind the sensors sits a triple AI chip: <b>one 8-core 3.3GHz 4nm flagship processor paired with two dedicated imaging chips</b>. Together they bring 500% more computing power than X5, a 106% faster clock speed, and 35% lower power draw. The result shows up as sharper detail, cleaner color, and denoising that holds in the dark. A new low-light mode adds two ambient light sensors to cut flicker and pull more out of night scenes, while <b>AdaptiveTone 2.0</b> meters each lens on its own and captures two exposures per frame for wider dynamic range.</p><p>X6 is also the <b>first 360 camera with native in-camera Dolby Vision</b>. Dynamic metadata is analyzed frame by frame to set contrast and brightness for every shot. Paired with 10-bit color and more than 1.07 billion recordable colors, X6 delivers a professional color profile straight out of the camera.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Three Cameras in One</b></p><p>This is the headline. X6 is a 360 camera, a subject-tracking flat camera, and a single-lens action cam, and it switches between all three in a tap.</p><p>X6 captures everything around you at <b>native 8K50fps</b>, so you come back later and pull the best angles from any direction. Reframe once or reframe a dozen times: the full scene is always there.</p><p><b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/05/insta360-launches-go-3s-retro-bundle.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Insta360 X6" border="0" src="https://wassets.insta360.com/common/33b706b62a8d494d9108f516b6e21a33/%E6%88%AA%E5%B1%8F2026-08-11%2017.50.31.png" title="Insta360 X6" width="280" /></a></b></p><p><b>InstaFrame 2.0</b> locks onto subjects instantly and tracks people, pets, and objects across the frame, giving you clean flat 4K video with no editing step. Pair it with the new <b>Foldable Selfie Stick Remote Kit</b> and X6 handles itself like a gimbal.</p><p><b>A classic action cam when you want one. </b>Switch to single-lens and shoot like a traditional action camera, 5K60fps, with a field of view up to 170° (5K30 in Flat mode), or 132° at 5K60.</p><p>One camera in your pocket now does the job of a 360 rig, a tracking gimbal, and an action cam.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Built Tough, Built Small</b></p><p>The <b>2.32" OLED screen</b> hits <b>1200 nits of peak brightness</b> and stays always-on, so you can frame a shot in direct sun.</p><p>The new <b>2600mAh Xtreme Battery</b> records 140 minutes of 8K30fps 360 video on a charge, 51% longer than X5, and fast charges from empty to 80% in 24 minutes. It stays reliable down to -20°C / -4°F. Insta360’s patented Star-Ridge cooling runs 10% more efficiently than competing 360 cameras and adds an insulated grip, so sustained 8K recording stays cool and steady.</p><p><b>Replaceable Lenses 2.0</b> is five times more scratch-resistant, sized for travel, and 60% cheaper to replace than the previous generation, so a scuffed lens on the trail costs less and slows you down less. X6 is waterproof to 20m bare (IP68) and to 60m with the <b>Invisible Dive Case Pro</b>, and it carries 47GB of usable built-in storage out of 64GB total, so you can shoot with no SD card in the camera.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Zero Editing, Handled On-Device</b></p><p>X6 edits for you. Plug it in to charge and the new<b> AI Director</b> analyzes your footage, builds a highlight edit automatically, and pushes the finished clips to the Insta360 app. No backlog, no timeline, no waiting.</p><p><b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/05/insta360-go-ultra-tadej-pogacar-edition.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Insta360 X6" border="0" src="https://wassets.insta360.com/common/45432a046ec6474e96d49414874c3402/%E6%88%AA%E5%B1%8F2026-08-11%2017.08.15.png" title="Insta360 X6" width="280" /></a></b></p><p>When you want to shape a clip yourself, <b>Auto Edit 2.0</b> turns one clip or many into a complete edit in a single tap: framing, camera movement, cuts, music, and transitions. It runs on Insta360’s own in-house 360 AI multimodal model <b>Insta360 PanoMind</b>, trained on more than 10,000 hours of footage across 30-plus scenarios including travel, daily life, winter sports, motorcycling, diving, and cycling. <b>Moments Pro</b> adds a cloud tool that lets you set a subject, mood, style, and timeframe, then generates the video for you.</p><p>X6 packs upgraded windproof 360 microphones, plus a new <b>Hidden Engine Mic</b> tuned specifically for motorcycle riders that filters wind and isolates engine sound.<b> Intelligent Audio Mode</b> reads the environment and adjusts automatically. For pro sound, connect two<b> Insta360 Mic Air</b> or <b>Mic Pro</b> transmitters at once through Insta360 Direct Connect.</p><p><b>FlowStateStabilization</b> and <b>360 Horizon Lock</b> keep footage smooth and level no matter how the camera moves. NFC touch-to-connect pairs X6 fast, Wi-Fi 6.0 moves files wirelessly at 100MB/s, USB 3.0 hits 450MB/s wired, and improved Bluetooth pairs in five seconds and reconnects in under one.</p><p>X6 fits a professional pipeline in a way no 360 camera has before. Shoot in <b>10-bit</b> or <b>I-Log</b> to hold full dynamic range across highlights and shadows and give colorists greater latitude in post. Insta360 Studio also stays free on Mac and Windows for multi-clip 360 editing.</p><p><b>Insta360+ Cloud</b> backs up your footage automatically while X6 charges, with up to 2TB of storage, link sharing, and cloud editing and export. Between Insta360 Studio and the cloud, footage moves from camera to finished video without friction.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>100+ Accessories, Including a Full Motorcycle Set</b></p><p>X6 works with more than 100 accessories and uses a magnetic mount compatible with X5, X4 Air, and Ace mounts. Standouts include an X6 Power Selfie Stick for 180 extra minutes of runtime, the Foldable Selfie Stick Remote Kit with gimbal-style joystick control, the Bullet Time Selfie Stick 2.0, a Fast Charge Case with dual battery and dual SD slots, and the Invisible Dive Case Pro. Cyclists get stats-overlay support for Garmin, Apple Watch, and Insta360 GPS.</p><p>Drivers get car mounts with a 1/4" adapter and an electric suction cup. Riders get a dedicated motorcycle set with a holographic speed dashboard overlay, an auto-looping dashcam mode, and automatic license plate blur.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Availability</b></p><p>X6 is available starting August 12, 2026, at the Insta360 Official Store, Amazon, and authorized retailers, priced from US$699.99 for the Standard Bundle.</p>

Samsung’s Hearing Aid Feature on Galaxy Buds Cleared by FDA

<p><b>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd</b>. announced that its <b>Galaxy Buds Hearing Aid</b> feature has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance. The feature enables compatible Galaxy Buds to serve as an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid, offering users 18 years and older a convenient solution for addressing perceived mild to moderate hearing loss - which may be indicated by difficulty following conversations in noisy environments - without a prescription or clinic visit. Users can also diagnose their hearing with the <b>Galaxy Buds Hearing Test feature</b>, which is registered as a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and provides medical-grade results.</p><p>Hearing loss is incredibly common, yet it remains one of the most overlooked health conditions worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally, more than 1.5 billion people experience some degree of hearing loss - a figure projected to reach 2.5 billion people by 2050. Despite this, many people who could benefit from hearing aids do not use them due to high cost, social stigma or limited access to professional care.</p><p>Samsung has been committed to advancing hearing support technologies for consumers since 2020. That year, the company introduced a <b>Personal Sound Amplification Product (PSAP) </b>feature on <b>Galaxy Buds+</b>.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicR80cT8qNuib78VcmkZIWxufIrR6TDks7hoOLEkO3PKWQIfkEGBBZjRA3dkZojDISMxaM6s4fkM4QA2B2JMbiBus_Hbc-G38fSbJstvK1dOqQl1cSWwhRCyPzGFqYqc-rJYYBbBL6RS2iBn9ZeSlrO_0bd0Mk1b7NeoLBD3QYjX9xxNhYGmM8KASVp8k/s599/samsungs-hearing-aid-feature-galaxy-buds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img alt="Samsung’s Hearing Aid Feature on Galaxy Buds Cleared by FDA" border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicR80cT8qNuib78VcmkZIWxufIrR6TDks7hoOLEkO3PKWQIfkEGBBZjRA3dkZojDISMxaM6s4fkM4QA2B2JMbiBus_Hbc-G38fSbJstvK1dOqQl1cSWwhRCyPzGFqYqc-rJYYBbBL6RS2iBn9ZeSlrO_0bd0Mk1b7NeoLBD3QYjX9xxNhYGmM8KASVp8k/s1600/samsungs-hearing-aid-feature-galaxy-buds.jpg" title="Samsung’s Hearing Aid Feature on Galaxy Buds Cleared by FDA" /></a></div><br />The PSAP feature was clinically validated in 2021 as effective support for daily communication for those with hearing loss, building the foundation for the Hearing Aid feature. To develop this new OTC solution, Samsung collaborated closely with the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) and Samsung Medical Center (SMC). The resulting technology is backed by robust clinical validation studies conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, San Jose State University and the University of Memphis.<p></p><p>Samsung’s holistic hearing health experience centers around two major features integrated directly into Galaxy Buds without requiring a separate app. By navigating to the Galaxy Buds menu in Settings, users can complete a self-administered Hearing Test in just five minutes. Using clinical-grade, pure-tone audiometry, the software tests each ear individually to pinpoint the user’s specific hearing deficits. It then generates an audiogram with accuracy comparable to a professional audiologist’s evaluation. The results categorize the user’s hearing as normal or one of four stages of hearing loss: mild, moderate, severe or profound.</p><p>Based on those results, the Hearing Aid feature amplifies the sounds users have difficulty hearing — such as high frequencies, surrounding whispers and distant voices - personalized to each user’s hearing profile. Hearing Aid also supports additional advanced features typically found in premium hearing aids, such as noise elimination and beamforming, which help focus sounds in front of the user and suppress background noise.</p><p>Galaxy Buds use NAL-NL2, recognized globally as the clinical standard formula for fitting prescription hearing aid. This advanced approach ensures highly personalized, accurate results tailored to each individual's hearing profile.</p><p>To give users a comprehensive view of their overall wellness, hearing-related insights - including noise exposure levels and Hearing Test results - are accessible directly within the Samsung Health app.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Availability</b></p><p>The Hearing Aid and Hearing Test features will be available on Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Buds4 Pro in select approved markets in Q4 2026.</p>

Cisco launches Antares AI Models for Detecting Software Vulnerabilities

<p>Today <b>Cisco </b>has introduced <b>Antares</b>, a family of small language AI models (SLMs) purpose-built to tackle one of the most difficult and time-consuming challenges in cybersecurity: finding hidden security flaws within software codebases, on-premises, without externalizing organizations’ data.</p><p>As organizations race to secure their digital infrastructure, finding vulnerabilities quickly is critical. However, using general-purpose AI to scan code can be expensive and often requires sending sensitive, proprietary source code to the cloud, representing a major hurdle for organizations with strict privacy and compliance requirements.</p><p>To help address this, Cisco has introduced Antares. These models are compact, cost-effective, and capable of running locally within an organization's own secure environment. </p><p>Cisco is releasing two of these models (<b>Antares-350M and Antares-1B</b>) entirely openly to the broader developer and security community.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/08/cisco-antares-ai-models.html" imageanchor="1" style=""><img alt="Cisco launches Antares AI Models for Detecting Software Vulnerabilities" border="0" data-original-height="336" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6GJlwOW1cff9CQdfU5yTXTmya932XYTgSjnjrU0KLDOoViKtqI-DD3SHVqU3ZmgxrxB7L1sha3IR636Io5xlLcQ_69EbuYBsUwnRmXh56qeqag8mLgEH96y6v_Powo8jPO9LYh3MbwKIAnb7spLmCjni_dM7Iu-x5pXoIMLIlfdIZXCwtRpWizMIKNlk/s1600/cisco-antares-ai-models.jpg" title="Cisco launches Antares AI Models for Detecting Software Vulnerabilities" /></a></div><br />Key highlights of the Antares launch include:<p></p><p><b>• Privacy-First Security:</b> Because the models are compact enough to run locally, security teams do not need to send sensitive source code to the cloud. This makes Antares ideal for the public sector, universities, and organizations with strict data sovereignty rules.</p><p><b>• Unmatched Efficiency: </b>Benchmark testing shows that the Antares models outperform many larger, more expensive AI models in critical security tasks, operating at a fraction of the cost.</p><p><b>• Human-Like Investigation:</b> Rather than relying on rigid rules, Antares reads vulnerability descriptions, searches for relevant code, changes direction if a path is unhelpful, and narrows down the file paths most likely to contain a threat.</p><p><b>• Democratizing AI Security: </b>By making these tools openly available, Cisco is unlocking the power of AI-assisted security for smaller teams that previously lacked the access, budget or resources to deploy proprietary large language AI models.</p><p>With the release of Antares, Cisco is moving beyond simply building models; it is helping create the ecosystem and standards needed for practical, trustworthy enterprise AI adoption.</p><div><br /></div>

HONOR brings ARRI Cinematic Workflow to Mobile Creation at Imaging Technology Launch

<p><b>HONOR </b>today hosted the <b>HONOR Imaging Technology Launch</b> in Hengdian, introducing its latest mobile imaging technologies and outlining how professional cinema workflow can be adapted for mobile creation.</p><p>At the event, HONOR introduced the <b>Optics-Intelligence Evolution</b> principle behind its imaging strategy, showcased its H<b>ONOR AiMAGE chip-device-cloud imaging engine</b>, and announced a joint imaging technology lab with <b>ARRI</b>. The launch also brought together Harald Brendel, ARRI Director Image Science; Claudio Miranda, Academy Award Winner; Wang Boxue, Cinematographer; Luo Wei, HONOR Chief Imaging Engineer; and Zhao Fuchen, HONOR Imaging Cognition Expert, to discuss how professional cinema technologies and creative workflows can be brought closer to mobile creators.</p><p>The launch marks a significant evolution in HONOR’s imaging strategy. Instead of focusing only on camera specifications, HONOR is building a more complete mobile imaging technology system across professional image capture, AI-powered processing, cinematic color science and creator-focused workflows.</p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/07/honor-magic-v6-fifa-2026.html" imageanchor="1" style=""><img alt="HONOR brings ARRI Cinematic Workflow to Mobile Creation at Imaging Technology Launch" border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKqtJoZMO9XH6ZyxoRR1C8zyYaU4szldGZdrjysYTQbGCnzva4QLccBxhVMJqXJf5aEkXD3Sftz6WwSfjOwEqCHJiLGcYuOGUTnlOle64Gf9LJkZstXtK2P2-uV_u4Mfvtn9dUjU1fXEk1AUv-OJs06E_McCeUXj3dgfs9zGMEpH2yvoLHNRWdkGw3ss0/s1600/honor-arri-cinematic-workflow-imaging-technology-launch.jpg" title="HONOR brings ARRI Cinematic Workflow to Mobile Creation at Imaging Technology Launch" /></a></b></div><b><br />HONOR AiMAGE: Building a Full-Chain Imaging Engine</b><p></p><p>At the keynote, HONOR introduced the Optics-Intelligence Evolution principle, summarized by the idea that “optics is the foundation, and intelligence raises the ceiling.” For HONOR, mobile imaging progress depends on the combined evolution of physical image capture and intelligent processing: optical and sensor capabilities define the foundation of image quality, while AI, algorithms and cloud capabilities amplify what users can create.</p><p>To support this direction, HONOR has built a chip-device-cloud AiMAGE imaging engine that connects the full imaging chain from physical capture to intelligent creation.</p><p>On the chip side, HONOR is developing a self-developed Transformer-based native AI ISP to reconstruct the image processing pipeline from the ground up. This works alongside a next-generation pixel array and EVS sensor technology, designed to improve original image capture and provide stronger input for AI imaging</p><p>On the device side, HONOR is combining physical imaging hardware with real-time algorithms. This includes a self-developed titanium alloy three-axis gimbal, precision sensing hardware, optical technologies and real-time image processing algorithms, enabling deeper coordination between hardware stabilization, image quality and motion control.</p><p>On the cloud side, HONOR is expanding imaging capabilities through RAW-domain image enhancement, spatial imaging technologies and Imaging Agent tools. These cloud-based capabilities are designed to break through device-side computing limits and support the full creative process from shooting and optimization to intelligent content generation.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Extending ARRI Image Science and Professional Workflows to Mobile Creation</b></p><p>Through its Strategic Technology Cooperation with ARRI, HONOR is integrating selected elements of professional cinema workflow into mobile imaging. This includes <b>ARRI LogC3, ARRI Wide Gamut 3</b> and <b>ARRI Looks</b>, bringing a more professional color and workflow foundation to the <b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/06/honor-robot-phone-shanghai-international-film-festival.html" target="_blank">HONOR Robot Phone</a></b>.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/05/honor-robot-phone-79-cannes-film-festival.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="HONOR Robot Phone showcased at China Night of the 79th Cannes Film Festival" border="0" data-original-height="507" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW3bExTC7BYqsepzMy6oZZS2I3jaAPqZ8PWxdxx5k-ZeMmGvBV7bYQXzX1njq5Rgnmw_3k-XaWdtmDOvRWyrks5lFjyb8InqEho1UD7XI7_x503hSjm92bguZWvm4QpGJjHJsv3WQIyxe1sZ6SwXv6mdeYgZvfZZAiUf3VGa2mZD0-mha4FXrZr5KYzRo/s16000/honor-robot-phone-79-cannes-film-festival.jpg" title="HONOR Robot Phone showcased at China Night of the 79th Cannes Film Festival" /></a></p><p>Unlike simple filters, LogC3 and Looks are part of a professional imaging workflow. LogC3 is designed to preserve more brightness and color information for post-production, while ARRI Wide Gamut 3 provides a broader color space and ARRI Looks help creators apply controlled cinematic styles. Together, these technologies support a workflow that gives creators greater flexibility from capture to editing, while helping mobile footage retain more creative information.</p><p>To deepen the cooperation, HONOR and ARRI also announced a joint imaging technology lab. The lab will focus on three key areas: sensor-level optics and dynamic range, end-to-end cinema industry workflow from capture to post-production, and imaging realism and aesthetic standards in the AI era. Through the lab, HONOR and ARRI aim to explore how professional cinema principles can inform the next stage of mobile imaging technology.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Professional Filmmakers Put Mobile Imaging into Real Creative Scenarios</b></p><p>The launch also featured perspectives from renowned filmmakers and cinematographers, including Claudio Miranda, Academy Award Winner, and Wang Boxue, Cinematographer, who shared how mobile imaging tools can support more flexible professional creation.</p><p>At the event, HONOR invited Claudio Miranda to use the HONOR Robot Phone to recreate a cinematic scene, demonstrating how mobile imaging can help lower the barrier to professional-style visual creation. From a professional creator’s perspective, Miranda shared his view on how mobile devices can become more capable tools for capturing cinematic images in everyday scenarios.</p><p><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/10/honor-teases-upcoming-robot-phone.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="HONOR Robot Phone unveils First Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival" border="0" data-original-height="472" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd89NEpBxMopLKxrUmVqfN35oDap5iFNrc-CLpamRt4YUYYTdckTBfQ6j1CJkO1Ts0y20I-nC9qYJTpHRG-0OglpK3qW70C_rJRJC8DuFHZsRrA_2okWrmTeQVfPe-vt2Qr-KEWFNMt-Os3f1pQ0QDjAB8vj668Jp1xf0rH9E9a91lI1_EuJS12Bel7cE/s16000/honor-robot-phone-shanghai-international-film-festival.jpg" title="HONOR Robot Phone unveils First Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival" /></a></p><p>HONOR also showcased a short film shot by Wang Boxue using the HONOR Robot Phone in an extremely confined one-shot scenario. Drawing on real production experience, Wang highlighted how the Robot Phone’s color reproduction and compact form factor can support professional post-production workflows while giving creators more freedom in camera movement and scene design.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Expanding HONOR’s Mobile Imaging Ecosystem</b></p><p>At the launch, HONOR also announced the judging panel for the <b>HONOR Mobile Imaging Plan</b> - <b>HONOR Magic Stories Awards 2026</b>, the company’s global mobile imaging competition.
