Google is working on a seamless way to transfer Spotify tracks between your devices

Google is working on a seamless way to transfer Spotify tracks between your devices

Have you ever been listening to a podcast in the car and wished you could seamlessly switch over to your earbuds once you arrived at work? How about rocking out to a fantastic station on your smart speaker and wishing you could transfer it to the car with just a couple of taps?

Google has already made this a possibility with Android 13 and YouTube or YouTube Music. Now, the company is looking to bring this same convenience to Spotify users. This year, you can expect the feature to roll out and you’ll be able to quickly and easily transfer music playing on Spotify between Spotify Connect devices through the Android media player notification.

That means you’ll be able to do it even from the lock screen with only a single tap, making it easier than ever to listen to your favorite podcast or playlist when and where you want.

Taking it a step further, Google is trying to simplify the process even more by anticipating which devices you want to transfer to with notifications. It will work like this, while you walk around your smartphone will determine which devices are nearby using wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, and ultra-wideband.

Once it has discovered which compatible devices are nearby, it will try to identify which device you’d most likely like to transfer to based on your current activity. A notification will then pop up on your smartphone asking you if you’d like to transfer the stream and with one tap you’ll be able to take your music or podcast wherever you go.

This is the kind of frictionless experience that can only happen thanks to Google’s integration of connectivity protocols such as, Fast Pair, Nearby Share, and Chromecast. These technologies have helped millions of users easily connect headphones, share files, or browse videos on their phone and transfer them to the big screen.

XGIMI unveils MoGo 2 Pro projector with upgraded auto focus and keystone correction

XGIMI unveils MoGo 2 Pro projector with upgraded auto focus and keystone correction

XGIMI has more than just a projector to show off this year at CES 2023. Sure, the company brought along its latest MoGo 2 Pro projector, winner of the German Design Award, but what’s more impressive than the svelte compact design is the technology behind it.

The MoGo 2 Pro features an upgraded version of XGIMI’s Intelligent Screen Adaptation technology, or ISA for short. With ISA 2.0, XGIMI’s MoGo Pro 2 is able to quickly and accurately, auto-focus and automatically keystone correct within a few seconds.

Combined with the built-in 3D ToF and CMOS sensor, ISA 2.0 is able to send signals to the wall and measure the distance, as well as the angle, and auto-correct for any variations within seconds. What that means for you, is that no matter where you move the MoGo 2 Pro, the picture will always be sharp and straight.

As someone who has set up a few projectors, this is a feature that is invaluable, especially if it’s a portable projector like the MoGo Pro 2. There’s nothing worse than setting up the projector for movie night and wasting time correcting for focus and a warped image.

Besides quick auto focus and keystone correction, ISA 2.0 can also avoid objects on the wall such as outlets or pictures by resizing the video area automatically. Furthermore, it can automatically detect a screen and align the video with it and the intelligent eye protection feature will dim the light if a presence is detected in front of the projector preventing damaging your eyes.

All of this is quite impressive for an entry-level projector. Here’s what else we know about the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro. It uses an FHD resolution of 1080p with support for HDR 10, has a maximum brightness of 350 ANSI lumens, and is capable of projecting a screen of 200 inches.

We can assume it also runs Android TV like the previous MoGo Pro, with support for Chromecast, Bluetooth, USB, and HDMI connections. Plus, it should still include sound by Harman Kardon.

Not too bad for a projector that only stands 6.54-inches tall and weighs in at 2.2 pounds.

TCL adds new phones, AR glasses, its first detachable Windows laptop, and more to its mobile roster at CES

TCL may be more widely known for its range of affordable televisions, but the company also has an active mobile division. This year, it decided to show off three new smartphones, two tablets, a detachable laptop, two smart glasses, a new pair of true wireless headphones, and a new VR headset.

Smartphones

TCL announced the TCL 40 R 5G, TCL 40 SE, and TCL 408 smartphones at CES 2023. Each device uses TCL’s NXTVISION display technology, AI-powered cameras, and a long-lasting battery.

Currently, the phones are available for purchase in Asia and Europe, but US availability is said to come in the future. Here’s a quick rundown of each model.

TCL 408

  • Display: 6.6-inch 20:9 1612 x 720

Tablets

First up is TCL’s budget tablet the TCL TAB 8 LE sporting an 8-inch HD display, quad-core processor, 32GB of storage, LTE connectivity, and 4080mAh battery. While the storage is extremely low on this tablet, thankfully, TCL has included a microSD card slot that supports up to 512GB of additional storage.

That should be plenty of space to load it up with videos to enjoy with the TAB 8 LE’s stereo speakers. There’s also a 5MP front and rear camera on the TAB 8 LE in case you need to snap any photos or want to jump on a video call.

The TCL TAB 8 LE will be available in late January with a starting price of $159.

The TCL NXTPAPER 12 Pro is a massive upgrade from the company’s budget offering. For starters, the NXTPAPER 12 Pro features a 12.2-inch 3:2 display with a 2160 x 1440 resolution. It’s powered by the MT8771 CPU and 8GB of RAM, with 256GB of storage and has a microSD card slot for expansion.

The 8000mAh battery will keep it running through the day with support for 18W charging. Plus, there’s an E-pen and optional detachable keyboard for added productivity.

Finally, there is an 8MP camera on the front and rear of the NXTPAPER 12 Pro and it runs Android 12 out of the box. It is currently available for purchase starting at $499.

The TCL BOOK X 12 Go is the company’s first detachable 2-in-1 laptop. It runs Windows 11 and is powered by the Snapdragon 7c Gen2 CPU from Qualcomm and 4GB or 8GB of RAM. For storage, you’re looking at 256GB onboard with a microSD card slot if you need to add more.

The BOOK X 12 Go shares the same 12.2-inch 3:2 display on the NXTPAPER 12 Pro and offers a 2160 x 1440 resolution at 60Hz. There’s a 5MP front-facing camera for video calls and a rear 8MP camera for snapping pictures with the 2-in-1 tablet. Pricing and availability are yet to be announced.

Headphones

The TCL MOVEAUDIO Air are the brand’s latest pair of true wireless earbuds. The MOVEAUDIO Air uses Bluetooth 5.2 and provides three different EQ modes, bass,  balanced, and podcast. The 50mAh battery is good for up to 9 hours of consecutive playback and 32 total hours when using the charging case.

Fast charging promises two hours of playback with only a 15-minute charge, and there are four mics using DNN AI ENC for crystal-clear calls. The MOVEAUDIO Air earbuds are available now in the US for $40.

Smart glasses

TCL showed off two pairs of smart glasses this year at CES. The most interesting of the two has to be the RayNeo X2. This pair of augmented reality glasses makes use of binocular full-color holographic optical waveguide Micro-LED displays, an industry first. TCL says they are intended to provide a heads-up display for tasks such as smart navigation, automatic translation, photography, and playing music. They are expected to be available for developers sometime in 2023.

The TCL NXTWEAR S is the company’s next pair of smart glasses which places the equivalent of a 130-inch HD display on your face using dual 1080p Micro OLED displays. The NXTWEAR S is slated for release in the first quarter of 2023 starting at $399.

Virtual Reality

Last, but not least, is the TCL NXTWEAR V, the concept virtual reality headset with a 108-degree field of view and a 1512ppi pixel density. Details on the lightweight NXTWEAR V are scarce at the moment, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for additional info.

Lock in Verizon’s Welcome Unlimited plan for $25 a month for the next three years

Looking to save some money on your phone plan this year? After the rising cost of just about everything in 2022, and the holiday spending, I’m sure we could all use a break on our mobile bill. I know I sure could.

Then Verizon has just the thing for you. With its current promo, Verizon is offering you a chance to sign up for its Welcome Unlimited plan for as little as $25 a month, per line, plus taxes and fees with Auto-Pay. You can even lock this price in for three years and bring your own phone.

With Verizon’s Welcome Unlimited plan, you’ll get unlimited talk, text, and data on Verizon’s 5G Nationwide network covering over 2,700 cities.

What’s the catch? Well, you’re going to have to sign up with four lines in order to drop the price down to $25 per line, plus taxes and fees with Auto-Pay. Not so bad for a family of four or more, but a little more difficult if you only have one or two people in your household.

Additionally, you must have Auto-Pay and paper-free billing enabled, or else the total will jump to $35 a month. As long as you’re ok with all of that, then you can check if your device is compatible with Verizon’s network and sign up on its website.

Your discount will be applied as a $180 promo credit per line over a 36-month period. If at any time one of your four lines becomes ineligible, upgrades, or cancels then the price guarantee will become void. So, it’s a good idea to make sure you’re all in for the long haul. That way you can save some money and avoid a price jump over the next three years.

Don’t sleep on this deal if you’re interested, it’s only good for a limited time and then it’ll be gone. You can sign up for the Welcome Unlimited promo with this link and check your device’s compatibility here.

The Android gaming handheld Razer Edge gets a release date

The Android gaming handheld Razer Edge gets a release date

Back in October, Razer and Verizon announced a new gaming handheld based on Android called the Razer Edge. At the time, we had no idea when exactly it might ship, beyond that it would be somewhere in the first quarter of 2023, and most likely in January.

Fortunately, Razer has announced at CES 2023 that we won’t be waiting much longer, because the Razer Edge is set to be released on January 26. That’s only a few weeks away, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what Razer’s Android gaming handheld has to offer.

There will be two versions at launch, a Razer Edge Wi-Fi variant sold exclusively at Razer.com and RazerStore locations in the US for $399, and a Razer Edge 5G exclusively available from Verizon.com and Verizon store locations.

While we wait for the release date, here’s a refresher on the specs. The Razer Edge will sport a 6.8-inch AMOLED display featuring a 2400 x 1800 FHD+ resolution, with a 144Hz refresh rate for silky smooth performance. Powering the Razer Edge, will be the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1, and the Razer Edge will be the first device to launch with Qualcomm’s gaming chipset with active cooling. This should ensure that you can the Razer Edge can handle those long gaming sessions without breaking a sweat.

Paired up with the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1, will be 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage with a microSD card slot for expansion, and a 5000mAh battery to keep it powered up on the go.

Additionally, the Razer Edge will support Wi-Fi 6E, handy for Xbox Game Pass, and a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies.

Of course, the Razer Edge device is only half of the equation. One of the best mobile controllers around, the Razer Kishi V2 Pro, will also come with the device. The Razer Kishi V2 Pro includes microswitch buttons, analog triggers, programmable macros, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Razer’s HyperSense haptics. Basically, everything you’ll need to get your game on.

This two-part solution is quite different from Logitech’s G Cloud handheld that was recently released. Although, the Razer Edge packs a lot more horsepower and is meant to AAA games locally, as well as cloud gaming. While the G Cloud is powered by a weaker processor and was built primarily for game streaming services such as Xbox Game Pass.

TCL announces new S-Series and Q-Series TVs, including 98-inch Mini-LED model

At CES 2023, TCL is kicking things off with announcements for new TVs, soundbars, and mobile devices.

Televisions

TCL is already the second best-selling TV in the US, and this year they are launching more models in the smart S-Series and QLED Q-Series. The Q-Series will cater to the higher-end crowd with increased dimming zones and high refresh rates, while the S-Series will pack in features at a more affordable price point.

For example, the new Q6 will feature a HighBright display increasing brightness up to 66% when compared to non-QLED TVs. It will also include an ultra-wide color gamut and a new Game Accelerator 120 feature for 120Hz VRR gaming. The Q6 will be available in screen sizes ranging from 50 to 75 inches.

The TCL Q7 is a step up with a HighBright PRO display and Full Array PRO local dimming, offering up to 5X the dimming zones in comparison to the QLED models from TCL in 2022. Gamers will appreciate the Q7 for its native 120Hz panel and Game Accelerator 240 feature that allows for gaming at up to 240Hz VRR. It will also be great for movie lovers thanks to the TCL AIPQ Engine and IMAX Enhanced certification. The TCL Q7 will be available in screen sizes ranging from 55 to 85 inches.

The flagship TCL TV this year is the QM8, featuring a Mini-LED Ultra display with double the peak nits of TCL’s previous Mini-LED TVs. The QM8 also ups the contrast with a 5X increase in dimming zones, now providing up to 2,300 zones.

Wi-Fi 6 has also been added for increased connectivity when streaming, and there is a built-in subwoofer that movie fans are sure to enjoy. However, one of the most stunning facts about the QM8 model, is that it will be available in a 98-inch version. If that’s too large for your living room, then don’t worry, there will also be models starting at 65 inches.

This year’s S3-Series won’t see much of an upgrade. These are basic 32 to 43-inch panels with a 1080p resolution and HDR support. The S4-Series, however, will see an update with the addition of Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio. This will make the S4-Series an even better bargain for those searching for affordable 4K TVs in the 43 to 85-inch range.

Soundbars

TCL’s lineup of soundbars will also be split into an S-Series and Q-Series. The S4 models will feature a DTS Virtual: X, Dolby Audio, Bluetooth, and more for a reasonable price. While the Q6 series will offer premium features, such as more power, larger subwoofers, separate tweeters, auto room calibration, and more.

If saving money on your wireless plan was one of your New Year’s resolutions, then Visible has a fantastic deal for you. Starting January 4, 2023, Visible is offering $15 off of its $30 and $45 plans for 12 months with the code 15OFF12.

That will get you service for an entire year for as little as $15 a month if you choose the base Visible plan with unlimited minutes, texts, and 5G data nationwide. It also includes unlimited mobile hotspot data, spam protection, and unlimited calls and texts to Mexico and Canada.

The 15OFF12 code also works with the Visible+ Plan dropping the price from $45 a month to $30. The Visible+ Plan includes all of the previous features as the base plan, such as unlimited minutes, texts, and 5G data nationwide. The biggest difference is that you’ll have 50GB of premium 5G data each month.

The Visible+ Plan also includes unlimited mobile hotspot data, spam protection, and unlimited calls and texts to Mexico and Canada. Additionally, Visible+ Plan subscribers will get access to unlimited minutes, texts, and data while roaming in Mexico and Canada, as well as international calling from the US to 30+ countries and international texting from the US to over 200 countries.

Both plans run on the Verizon network with no annual contract with taxes and fees included with no credit check required. Once the 12 months is up, you can choose to continue using Visible at full price, or if auto-pay is enabled, you will be automatically charged $30 or $45 depending on your plan.

This offer is available for new customers only, and will require you to bring your own device and port in your old number. Since Visible uses the Verizon network, you’ll need to make sure your phone runs on its network first by using the compatibility checker. It would also be wise to take a look at the coverage map to ensure you’ll get coverage where you need before switching over.
