    DJI Launches Amflow Mountain E-Bike with Avinox Drive System

    DJI is expanding its technological portfolio by venturing into the e-bike market with the launch of its new Avinox drive system. This innovative technology is first seen in the Amflow, DJI’s inaugural e-bike, which boasts a carbon fiber construction. This move comes as the US intensifies its scrutiny on Chinese-manufactured drones.

    DJI Amflow Mountain e-bike: Unique Features

    The Avinox drive system, developed by the renowned Chinese drone manufacturer, weighs in at a mere 2.52 kilograms (excluding the batteries) and delivers an impressive 850W of peak power (250W nominal). This system is integrated into the bike’s lightweight 19.2-kilogram frame, enabling the Amflow to surpass other full-power e-bikes in both power output and range. Additionally, the Avinox system is rated IP66, ensuring resistance to water and dust.

    The Avinox battery supports GaN 3x fast charging, capable of reaching from 0 to 75 percent in just 1.5 hours. The drive system includes a planetary gearset and polymer gears, optimizing the balance between size, weight, and power output. DJI guarantees a quiet ride along with four standard riding assist modes: Auto, Eco Trail, Turbo, and Boost. The Auto mode adjusts power automatically through "multi-sensor fusion." Furthermore, Avinox is equipped with a 2-inch OLED touchscreen panel for changing assist modes and displaying essential information.

    Avinox Drive System

    The DJI Amflow can also connect to your smartphone, unlocking additional features such as data recording, sharing, security, real-time bike status, and location tracking. The Avinox Drive system will be available exclusively to manufacturers, while the Amflow’s pricing remains undisclosed. However, some reports suggest a price range between 7,000 EUR and 12,000 EUR, though this information is yet to be confirmed. Stay tuned for further updates.

  • Samsung Drops Plus Model in Future Galaxy S25 Series

    Samsung Drops Plus Model in Future Galaxy S25 Series

    Samsung is making a significant alteration to its Galaxy S series! Recently, Android Headlines has been releasing new information about Samsung’s upcoming devices. It appears Samsung might eliminate the Plus model from the Galaxy S25 lineup.

    While leaks have validated the presence of the standard Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Galaxy S25 Plus is notably absent. The model numbers for the forthcoming Samsung phones are: SM-S931B/DS, SM-S938B, SM-S938U, SM-S938N, and SM-S9380. The regular Galaxy S25 and the S25 Ultra are present, but sadly, the S25 Plus is missing.

    Shift in Samsung’s Strategy

    Initial leaks for the Galaxy S24 series in July 2023 suggested a traditional three-model lineup consisting of the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra. However, recent leaks indicate a possible change in Samsung’s strategy, with only two models expected for the S25 lineup. The company appears to be unsatisfied with the sales figures of the S24 Plus, leading to the decision to discontinue the S25 Plus model.

    Display Differences

    Previously, Samsung provided a superior display in the S24+ compared to the regular S24. Both the S23 and S23+ had 1080 x 2340 resolution screens, but this year, the Plus model featured a higher resolution display (1440 x 3120). Despite this enhancement, it seems consumers are still not inclined to choose the Plus model.


  • Insta360 AI Phone Stabilizer with Apple DockKit Launches July 9

    Insta360 AI Phone Stabilizer with Apple DockKit Launches July 9

    Apple’s WWDC 2024 introduced DockKit, a revolutionary protocol that allows mobile phone stabilizers to seamlessly integrate with the iPhone’s native camera app. This eliminates the need for switching between apps, enabling users to control the camera directly through the stabilizer.

    Intelligent Subject Tracking

    With iOS 18, intelligent subject tracking becomes a key feature. Users can lock onto their target to capture smooth, professional-quality videos without dealing with camera shake or joystick adjustments. A simple button press allows effortless switching between front and rear lenses, ideal for capturing multiple angles. Additionally, users can make precise framing adjustments using the stabilizer’s zoom dial.

    Insta360 Flow Series

    Insta360 is the first to take advantage of this groundbreaking technology. Their forthcoming AI mobile phone stabilizer, part of the Flow series, is set to transform mobile filmmaking. This stabilizer integrates seamlessly with DockKit, enabling all the aforementioned features. Furthermore, the Insta360 Flow series uses machine-learning models for enhanced subject selection and tracking, thanks to iOS 18’s advanced DockKit capabilities.

    Upcoming iOS 18 Features

    The iOS 18 upgrade will also allow users to control the camera and gimbal using an Apple Watch, adding another layer of convenience. Future updates promise additional shooting modes, including automatic tracking in both photo and movie modes. While specific features and pricing are yet to be disclosed, Insta360 is officially teasing the launch of their new Flow series AI mobile stabilizer on July 9th at 9:00 PM PST. Make sure to mark your calendars for this exciting reveal!

  • Redmi 13 5G: Xiaomi’s Next Budget Offering – What to Expect?

    Redmi 13 5G: Xiaomi’s Next Budget Offering – What to Expect?

    Redmi’s number series has made a name for itself in the budget smartphone arena by providing essential features at reasonable prices. The upcoming model, the Redmi 13 5G, is scheduled to debut in India on July 9th at noon.

    In keeping with its predecessors, it aims to offer 5G connectivity for budget-conscious consumers. So, what can be expected from this device? Let’s delve into the known specifications and features of the Redmi 13 5G.

    Design and Display

    The design of the Redmi 13 5G has been showcased in the teaser for its launch announcement. The device retains a similar aesthetic to its predecessor, featuring a clean, flat back and flat edges. The back has three protrusions: two for camera sensors and one for a ring light. It will be available in two color options: Light Blue and Light Pink, both sporting a glass back finish.

    The Redmi 13 5G is anticipated to come with a large IPS LCD display, likely around 6.7 inches. Although the screen size will be ample for video watching and gaming, it won’t match the contrast, color accuracy, or viewing angles of AMOLED displays—an expected trade-off for a budget device. Fortunately, the phone will be equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect against accidental drops.

    Processor

    The Redmi 13 5G is confirmed to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, the same chip used in the Redmi 12 5G.

    The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 is designed to be budget-friendly while offering basic 5G capabilities. While it won’t deliver high-speed performance, it should be sufficient for everyday tasks, light gaming, and social media browsing.

    Unlike the Redmi 12 5G, which ran on MIUI 14, the Redmi 13 5G will feature the company’s new HyperOS skin. RAM options are expected to be 6GB or 8GB, paired with 128GB or 256GB of storage.

    Camera

    The camera setup on the Redmi 13 5G is likely to feature a dual-lens system. The primary sensor will probably be around 50MP, accompanied by either a macro or depth sensor. While it should capture decent photos in good lighting, don’t expect outstanding image quality or low-light performance. The front-facing camera is likely to be around 8MP, adequate for basic selfies and video calls.

    Battery and Charging

    The Redmi 13 5G will come with a 5030mAh battery, similar to the 5000mAh battery found in last year’s model. This should be sufficient for a full day’s use on a single charge, with moderate usage potentially extending battery life to two days. An improvement in fast charging will see the capability jump from 18W to 33W.

    Price and Availability

    While specific pricing details for the Redmi 13 5G have yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated to be competitively priced within the budget 5G smartphone segment. The expected price range is sub-12K in India.

    Unlike its predecessor, the Redmi 13 5G is expected to launch only in China and India. Additionally, POCO, another sub-brand of Xiaomi, is likely to rebrand the Redmi 13 5G as the POCO M7 5G in the Indian market.

    Overall, the Redmi 13 5G aims to provide 5G connectivity at an accessible price point. It boasts a large display, a capable processor for everyday tasks, and a basic camera system. However, prospective buyers should be aware of its limitations—such as a less sharp display, potential low-light camera struggles, and modest performance.
