Is Facebook going to show off new hardware products at F8 in April?

Facebook might debut new hardware as early as next month.

Business Insider has reported that Building 8, a year-old unit at Facebook, is working on “at least four unannounced consumer hardware products”, and it suggested more details about these hardware products might be shared at the social network’s annual F8 developers conference, which is slated to be held from 18 April to 19 April at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.

When Facebook launched Building 8 last April, there were several unanswered questions about what it is developing and when we would see the first products. Now, Business Insider’s lengthy piece is speculating about not only what it’s creating, but when we might get to see it. There’s been whispers about brain scanning, drone-related hires, augmented reality, and even an “early-stage medical device”.

Ex-Googler Regina Dugan heads up Building 8 and recently teased that new hardware advances could allow people who are far away to connect. Her words made many wonder if Facebook had dreamed up a augmented reality system that lets you interact with friends remotely. Facebook hasn’t confirmed any of these reports, however, so everything amounts to just rumours at this point.

But it looks like we might know more in a matter of weeks.

Instagram now lets you save live videos: Here’s how to do it

Instagram began letting users stream live videos last year, but it didn’t let them save broadcasts.

But the app has now updated, finally allowing users to download broadcasts to their phones once they’ve concluded. Twitter’s Periscope and even Facebook’s own Live have long let users save videos, so this new update helps brings Instagram’s Live Videos more in line with them. Live videos will continue to disappear from the app when you’re done – only now you can hold onto your video and re-watch it later.

• Finally! You can now save Instagram posts to revisit later – here’s how
• Instagram will let you turn off comments on posts – here’s how
• Instagram now notifies you if someone takes a screenshot

Here’s how the new feature works.

How to save Instagram Live Videos

Start a live video

• Tap the Camera icon in the top left of the screen.
• Then, tap Live at the bottom of the screen, then tap Start Live Video.

Save a live video

• After your live broadcast ends, tap Save in the upper right corner.
• After saving, tap Done. Your live video will then be saved to your camera roll.

It may take a minute for a live video to save to your phone, especially for longer videos. Also, you’ll only be able to save video – not comments, likes, or any interactions, and your live video will no longer be available in Instagram.

When will Live Video saves be available?

The ability to save Instagram Live Videos is rolling out now, with in the latest version of Instagram for iOS and Android.

Apple might add Snapchat-like AR features to next iPhone camera

Apple has suggested in the past that it is exploring augmented reality, and now a new report has detailed what that might entail.

Echoing previous reports, Bloomberg said Apple is working on augmented-reality glasses, but it also said Apple plans to integrate augmented reality features into the next iPhone. Apple is developing ways to take a picture and then change the depth of image or specific objects in the picture later. It’s also figuring out ways to isolate an object in the image and allow it to be tilted 180 degrees.

Another feature in development would use augmented reality to place virtual effects on a person, kind of like Snapchat Lenses. The company reportedly has “hundreds of engineers” working on these augmented reality technologies, including talent that came from Microsoft’s HoloLens team and Facebook-owned Oculus. Keep in mind the next iPhone is thought to have a “revolutionary” camera.

• Apple iPhone 7 Plus review: Big changes from the big iPhone

Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo described the camera as such and said it would feature an infrared projector and receiver, which would allow it to act like Microsoft’s Kinect as well as offer depth sensing and 3D mapping. And if you had any doubts about whether all this will come to fruition, remember that Tim Cook has hinted that Apple thinks augmented reality will be bigger than virtual reality.

AT&T gives new DirecTV Now subscribers a year of HBO

AT&T is determined to build early momentum for DirecTV Now, and it just found another way to sweeten the pot. The telecom has launched a promo that gives you a year of HBO access if you sign up for Now’s “Go Big” or “Gotta Have It” packages as a new customer by March 30th. And that’s in addition to an existing deal that gives you a free Apple TV if you pre-pay for 3 months of service in a similar timeframe. It’s not the most tempting deal, but it might be enough to bring you over if you like HBO and want to save a bit of cash versus alternative services.

It’s hard to say whether or not this is indicative of sagging demand or just an attempt to give DirecTV Now the best possible start versus fierce competition. AT&T was quick to tout that Now had 200,000 subscribers by the end of 2016, but it’s not clear how the viewer base has grown since then. This won’t matter much if you’re just looking for a sweet deal, of course, but you can expect to see more of these promos if it turns out that DirecTV Now isn’t growing as quickly as AT&T would like.

Drake’s ‘More Life’ Streamed 29M More Times on Apple Music Than Spotify in Last 24 Hours

Drake’s new More Life album was streamed 89.9 million times during its first 24 hours on Apple Music, breaking single-day album streaming records for all music services, Apple told The Verge.

With 89.9 million streams on Apple Music during its first 24 hours of availability, More Life was significantly more popular on Apple’s streaming service than on Spotify, where it was streamed 61.3 million times. The 61.3 million number was also a record for Spotify.

Apple Music has far fewer users than Spotify, hitting 20 million subscribers in December of 2016. Spotify recently announced that it has 50 million paying subscribers, but when counting those who listen to the company’s free tier, Spotify has over 100 million subscribers.

More Life, released on Saturday, also set records on Apple’s Beats 1 radio service, marking the biggest Beats 1 show in its history.

More Life was not an Apple Music exclusive this time around, but Drake’s previous album, Views, also set Apple Music records when it was released. Views was the first album to reach over 1 billion streams on Apple Music.

Developer Hacks Apple Watch to Run Game Boy Emulator

Developer Gabriel O’Flaherty-Chan recently shared a project where he managed to get a Game Boy emulator he dubbed “Giovanni” running on the second-generation Apple Watch, allowing it to play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.

According to O’Flaherty-Chan, it was a challenge finding the right balance “between framerate and performance,” but he says the end result is a “surprisingly usable emulator.” In GIFs shared in a blog post, the Apple Watch is displayed running Pokémon Yellow.

The Giovanni emulator, named after the villain in Pokémon Yellow, was built using open source code from Gambatte, an existing iOS emulator. It uses the Digital Crown and gestures for control purposes.

By allowing the user to pan on screen for directions, rotate the Digital Crown for up and down, and tap the screen for A, I was able to eliminate buttons until I was left with Select, Start, and B.

Touching the screen for movement isn’t a great interaction, but being able to use the Crown worked out a lot better than originally anticipated. Scrolling through a list of options is basically what the Crown was made for, and if the framerate was even slightly higher, the interaction could almost be better than a hardware D-pad.

As Ars Technica points out, Giovanni is not something you should expect to see in the App Store — it’s more of a proof of concept than anything else. Apple does not allow emulators on the App Store, and O’Flaherty-Chan himself says it is afflicted with bugs due to the “constraints of watchOS,” including the lack of support for OpenGL and Metal.

The Giovanni source code is, however, available on Github for anyone to download, and the blog post behind the creation of Giovanni is worth reading for anyone interested in the development process.

Xiaomi Mi Headphones: $30 headphones that competes with the big boys (review)

Here at AndroidGuys, we’re big fans of excellent audio. While none of us would describe ourselves as audiophiles, we can appreciate a quality pair of headphones when they cross our desks to review. You may have recently seen Scott Webster’s review of the excellent Master and Dynamic MW50s that really blew him away. Like Scott, I don’t have sophisticated tastes when it comes to headphones.

I love a good pair of earbuds or over-the-ear headphones but I refuse to dump a bunch of money into them because I can’t tell the difference most of the time. A lot of what makes headphones great for me are how they feel on my head and the materials they’re made of. I use a pair of very nice Sennheiser HD598‘s I was able to score during a sale during the Christmas season but they still cost a fair amount more than the Xiaomi headphones we’re talking about today.

You may have heard of Xiaomi in regards to cell phones. It’s a large manufacturer that makes really excellent phones like the Mi 5 and Mi Mix (yes, that’s the one that’s all screen). Xiaomi hasn’t ventured into the US market much and I can’t really find these headphones on sale much of anywhere besides the site that sent these over for us to review, Chinavasion.com.

The first thing that struck me when taking the headphones out of the box was the complete lack of branding. In fact, the only text you’ll find on these things at all are the big R and L in the corresponding ear cups to let you know which way to wear these bad boys. It’s really refreshing to see a company make a product and not slap its name all over it in three or four places. The headphones look super clean and I can’t say enough how pleased I am with the aesthetics.

The outside of the earcups have a dotted design and the left has a pressable button. A short press of the button plays or pauses and a long press opens up Google Assistant on my OnePlus 3T. It’s a nice intersection of form and functionality.  The microphone bump that sits just below the earcups is able to pick up my voice clearly and people on the other end of calls said I sounded just fine.

Above the earcups sits a soft plastic band with plenty of cushion. I’ve worn these for up to four hours at a time with zero fatigue. My only issue with this area is that when extending the bar to fit my big fat head, the plastic that houses it can come apart. You can simply push it back together but that gives you some idea of the build quality we’re working with here. Cheaper, but nice, plastics. They look good and feel good to the touch but aren’t going to stand up to long-term abuse.

Another area where these are a miss on is how they fit. It feels like Xiaomi made the band that sits on top of your head too long. These would sit wonderfully on the round head of an emoji, but for real world, it should have been a bit more narrow.

The headphones don’t squeeze my head at all, which is nice for comfort but can make them come off my head when whipping around to talk to someone standing behind me. Luckily the earcups are pretty deep and hold a little bit or it would be a dire situation. The cups hold these to your head and do it very comfortably. The soft leather-ish pads are extremely comfortable and are among the best I’ve ever felt.

As for how they sound, I have zero issues here. I love bass and these headphones definitely supply enough of it. I wouldn’t say they’re bass heavy like Beats, but bass is definitely accentuated. These won’t be an award winner for its massive soundstage or anything, but I do think that the instruments and voices all have their own space and don’t sound like a jumbled mess like on some cheaper headphones.

I absolutely loved listening to electronic music and podcasts with these on. The deep booming voice of Mike Rowe in his “The Way I Heard It” podcast sounds fantastic and beats in Boundless by Aero Chord are sublime.

There isn’t anything flashy about these headphones. They’re not going to make bad quality audio suddenly better and they’re not going to be turning heads because they’re so fashionable. What they will do, however, is make listening to your favorite songs and podcasts just a little bit better. While I do wish the fit was just a little bit more finely tuned, it’s nothing offensive and I routinely wear them without issue. I love the clean lines and white aesthetics that aren’t mucked up by branding or logos.

Would I give my Sennheisers up for these? No, but I also don’t recommend going out and spending $100 extra dollars on something like that unless you have the cash to toss away. I find that the listening experience is almost as good as my HD598s and that’s pretty incredible when you take into account the price difference ($150 vs. $30)

If you want a pair of headphones that just make everything sound a little bit better, it’s hard not recommend the Xiaomi Mi Headphones. Thanks to Chinavasion for sending these over for review.

Xiaomi Redmi 4A: Hands on and first impressions

Xiaomi’s Redmi series continues to do well in India, setting sales records on the way to the company becoming the number two smartphone maker in the country. With the new Redmi 4A, Xiaomi is looking at disrupting the budget smartphone segment.

The Redmi 4A is the cheapest smartphone from the company in the market, and the company is pitching it as a successor to the Redmi 1S, not Redmi 3s like most in the media reported. To clear the air definitively, Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi’s Vice President, made a fleeting announcement at the launch event that the successor to Redmi 3s was coming soon – implying that this was not it.

Xiaomi launches their budget smartphone, Redmi 4A, in India

14 hours ago

I spent some time with the Redmi 4A at its India launch, and here are my initial thoughts about the same.

Xiaomi Redmi 4A Specifications

• Operating System: Android 6.0 Marshmallow with MIUI 8
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 (Quad-core 1.4GHz) | Adreno 308 GPU
• Display: 5-inch HD (1280 x 720) IPS display
• RAM: 2GB
• Internal Storage: 16GB; expandable up to 128GB with microSD card
• Rear Camera: 13MP | f/2.2 aperture | Single LED flash
• Front Camera: 5MP | f/2.2 aperture
• Battery: 3120mAh
• Dimensions: 139.9 x 70.4 x 8.5 mm
• Weight: 131.5 gms

Design

On first look, the Redmi 4A looks like the quintessential Xiaomi smartphone, similar to many Redmi phones that we’ve seen in the past. This one though sports a polycarbonate body with a metallic finish, although once you hold it in hand, you realize it’s all plastic.

At a thickness of only 8.5mm and sporting a 5-inch display, the Redmi 4A is a pretty compact smartphone and it sits comfortably in your hand. The device sports a hybrid SIM tray, so you can either use two SIM cards or one SIM card and a microSD card to expand storage.

Apart from the familiar Dark Grey (my pick of the three) and Gold colors, the Redmi 4A is also available in Rose Gold color variant.

Display

The Redmi 4A boasts of a 5-inch HD (1280 × 720 pixels) IPS display which offers good color reproduction and contrast. The text and UI elements look sharp, so there’s no complaint on that front.

Hardware

Under the hood, the Redmi 4A packs a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM. There’s 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 128GB using a microSD card.

The performance is good enough for a budget smartphone, and multitasking and web browsing were quite smooth – although the demo unit was fresh out of the box and had no real-world baggage or multitude of third-party apps that one would have typically. Once I use the device for a longer period of time for the detailed review, we’ll learn more. That said, initial impressions were quite good and promising.

The Redmi 4A is powered by a 3120mAh battery underneath. Xiaomi claims a standby time of up to seven days which is impressive.

One of the obvious omissions on the Redmi 4A is a fingerprint sensor. While these are increasingly getting ubiquitous on even budget smartphones, it is fair to cut corners in a smartphone at this price.

Software

The Redmi 4A runs MIUI 8 which is based on Android Marshmallow. There’s support for 13 Indian languages and several India-specific enhancements.

While the Android skins are a matter of personal preference and several users prefers just stock Android, MIUI is fairly popular. MIUI 8 offers one of the more intuitive and functional UIs, and there are nifty utilities and tools that improve one’s overall Android experience.

Camera

In the photography department, the Redmi 4A offers a 13-megapixel rear snapper with f/2.2 aperture and 5-piece lens. On the front, there’s a 5-megapixel camera.

While I’ll reserve my judgement on the camera till the review, a few test shots during my hands-on in bright indoor lighting came out quite well for a phone at this price.

Summary

At ₹5,999 ($92), the Redmi 4A is a great budget smartphone that would sell quite well. It’s not an upgrade to the Redmi 3s which is a better option between the two – although the latter is also ₹1,000 expensive. And that’s why, with its price, it will be an attractive option for many. It’s an affordable package that offers decent smartphone experience without too many compromises.

Google Maps adds Parking Reminders, following in the footsteps of Apple Maps

Why it matters to you

Keeping tabs on where you parked can be hard. Luckily, Google Maps is here to make it easier for you with a new feature in Android.

You already have to keep track of so much during the day, and so your precious brain space ought not be crowded with petty information like where you parked your car. Luckily, Google Maps agrees, and is here to help. In the app’s newest beta on Android, you’ll be able to tap a little blue dot that represents your car in order to leave yourself a parking reminder. It’s an option that Apple Maps has actually had for quite some time (the iEmpire first began offering its users parking reminders last year), but better late than never, Google.

Once you’ve tapped on that familiar little blue dot, you’ll be able to enter notes and take photos that will help guide you to the exact location of your vehicle. So whether you’re in an expansive parking lot in suburbia or a winding parking garage in the middle of a big city, you’ll have the information you need to find your ride.

And if you happen to be in a metered spot, Google Maps will also let you input data on how much time you have left, setting a timer to remind you to either high-tail it back to your car, or pay the piper.

While this is all very useful, the bummer is that none of this process is actually automated. That means that while you don’t have to recall the location of your car, you will have to recall the need to manually set a reminder for yourself, and manually enter all the details. This differs from the Apple Maps feature, which does allow users to create parking reminders without having to input a ton of additional information.

As it stands, the Parking Reminders feature is just in the beta version of the Android app. But soon, it’ll probably be coming to Google Maps on iOS, too, and will debut in public form.
