This year’s CES was somewhat more exciting compared to previous ones. CES 2020 was full of invisible tech as OnePlus just showcased it OnePlus Concept One with invisible camera. How can Samsung lag behind when it comes to innovation so Samsung showcased an innovative piece of technology that and named it ‘Selfie Type’ which is a software based product from the house of ‘C Lab’ which comes under the incubation of Samsung. Let’s know more about this technology.
Before Samsung officially introduced this technology during CES 2020, we already had a glimpse of its working as a video somehow surfaced on a Korean community.
In that video we saw a person writing an email with the help of ‘Selfie Type’, His device was standing still on a dock and he was moving his fingers across a table and somehow everything that he tried to type was being displayed on the screen quite accurately and today Samsung showcased the same.
‘Selfie Type’ doesn’t make use of any hardware components just selfie camera of your device. It makes use of some algorithm and track position of your fingers as you move them. The things that you should keep in mind while using this technology is that you must have to keep your fingers under a certain range that varies from device to device and depends on the field of view of your selfie camera.

But the drawback here is that you don’t get any feedback as you type something that you can normally see on a device virtual keyboard. Usually when we type something on our virtual keyboard of our mobile devices we get feedback like a vibration or a click sound that ensures you that you have written something but this is not the case with ‘Selfie Type’ you can’t receive any feedback as you are typing on a surface like a table.
Second drawback is that while typing on a normal virtual keyboard you can see which key you are pressing but you can see or even guess which key are you pressing that makes this typing experience more complex and unfaithful to use in normal working situations.
This feature is expected to roll out to various Samsung devices as an OTA or Over The Air update and it is quite definite that upcoming Samsung device will come with this ‘Selfie Type’ feature out of the box. But C-Lab need to somehow fix the feedback and typing analogy to make this technology reach the masses. We ourselves are quite excited to get our hands on this amazing and innovative technology and write an amazing article for you guys using the same invisible keyboard i.e. ‘Selfie Type’.
When everyone in the smartphone industry was busy in showcasing there concept devices like OnePlus came up with its concept device named ‘OnePlus Concept One‘ but Samsung was planning something else as they secretly introduced a new device in their rugged device series named ‘Galaxy XCover Pro’ lets have a deeper look at this rugged demon from Samsung.
Features of XCover Pro
Samsung XCover Pro is a new iteration in the series of rugged device that is made exclusive for military personnel and available in United States only. The previous version of XCover series was named as ‘Xcover 4’ that was launched back in summers of 2017 and featured a 5 inches IPS LCD display and was powered by an Exynos 7570 processor that came as a result of in house production of chipset by Samsung and it was powered by an quad core structure.
While Samsung XCover Pro is also houses an Exynos chipset i.e. Exynos 9611 which is a octa core to give the users a smooth experience. XCover Pro also comes with an IPS LCD display but the difference here is that it gives the user a hand-on experience over a display size of 6.3″ inches and comes with a aspect ratio of 20:9 with a small punch hole in the top left corner of the display that packs a 13MP snapper.
It also spots an dual rear camera setup where the primary shooter is a 25MP Wide angle sensor that captures objects that comes under a field of view of 80 degree while the secondary camera uses a 8MP Ultra-Wide sensor that is capable of capturing scenes upto a field of view of 123 degrees. You all must be wondering that why Samsung is using a dual camera setup while the whole world has switched to quad camera setup or even penta camers like Mi CC9 Pro, then you must keep in mind that XCover Pro is made for military personnel and not normal audience and they don’t require quad or penta camers their only requirement is durability of devices.
Talking about durability XCover Pro comes with IPX 68 water and dust resistance certification and comes pre certified with US military standard certification (MIL-STD-810) that itself describes durability of this rugged demon.

XCover Pro is powered by a massive 4050 mAh battery and promises to last almost 2 days on modrate usage and also comes with a 15W charging adaptor that will juice up the device at a faster speed a compared to other rugged devices. It spots only one variant that houses 4GB of RAM and 64GB ROM that ensures smooth experience to users.
It also gives users the freedom to program two buttons according to their requirements and it comes with a fingerprint scanner mounted on power button. Buttons can be programmed to perform various tasks like turning on flashlight or recoding audio message and converting them into text message and send them to you emergency contacts and some more functionality to choose from.
The security department is handled by Samsung Knox and it comes with Android 9 Pie out of the box and is supposed to updated to Android 10 later this year.
XCover Pro is expected to enter European smartphone market around February 2020 with a price tag of €500 (~$556).

HP shaved down the display’s top and bottom bezels, which in them allow them to make a display about 90-percent screen to body ratio. It features either a 15.6-inch 4K OLED display or 4K IPS display with DCI-P3 with a 30% wider color gamut range.

Withings ScanWatch now brings more diversity to the smartwatches market which is being captured by Apple, Fitbit, Garmin, and some other major players who don’t let other innovators pass through. As each year they release their flagship product which will feature some of the major health metrics which can’t be coupe by competitions. Withings has now launched its own Hybrid Smartwatch Withings ScanWatch.
Withings ScanWatch Changes Trend of Hybrid Smartwatch
However Withings tries to capture bit which is left by Apple, Fitbit or Garmin, but however Withings tries to compete in this market as the French health tech company release an ECG-equipped watch last year, tries to beat with the new ScanWatch looks like the most complete on-wrist health package yet. In CES 2020 Withings release their ScanWatch smartwatch which is a modular smartwatch as it looks and feel like an ordinary smartwatch but also tracks users’ health metrics. Garmin last also tries to copy this design with the introduction of their Vivomove Luxe, as this approach of making hybrid smartwatch help to save one of the major aspects of Watches “its dial”.
Withings new smartwatch ScanWatch released at CES 2020
The Withings ScanWatch also features one-lead electrocardiogram for checking for arrhythmia, but has PPG (optical heart rate readings) and can engage in continuous monitoring for possible atrial fibrillation, it must sound like Apple Watch. ScanWatch also tracks SpO2 for blood oxygen levels. And one of the most important features of this watch is sleep tracking along with correct phase recognition of sleep this help user to understand their sleep more authentic way and the watch can also track sleep apnea. This tracking of sleep apnea is yet not available on any smartwatches yet.
While there is no FDA approval about the authenticity of sleep apnea tracking, but Withings PR claims that their results are “clinically validated”.
Withings help ordinary watch fan to be craze over hybrid smartwatch as many as the also tries to maintain the essence of the watch and bring modularity. While the design of ScanWatch looks like the previous iteration of Withings watches, with a stainless steel case, sapphire crystal dome, real analog watch hands and also an OLED display for notifications and fitness details.
The major concern among the smartwatch user is the battery life but Withings crosses all the barriers and promised 30-day battery life, which is far beyond their competitors.
Withings will start selling this device from now onwards at price for €249/£229/$249 (38mm) and or €299/£279/$299 (42mm). It might look more interesting how these smartwatches compete with other competitors in the real-life scenarios.
OnePlus celebrated its 6th anniversary by mesmerizing everyone by releasing a poster for its concept device named OnePlus One Concept that they are going to showcase at CES 2020 at Las Vegas. The name of the device came out to be OnePlus Concept One. It would become the first-ever concept device from the house of OnePlus. Today we will discuss how OnePlus Concept One can revolutionize the design industry. So without wasting any more time let’s get started.
As we all are well aware of the fact that the focus idea behind launching the brand was to bring out a revolution in the smartphone industry. OnePlus has stuck to the same ideology all these years and we are pretty sure that they will stick to the same philosophy forever. To continue their unmatched streak OnePlus is going to introduce its first-ever concept device at CES 2020.
The special thing that separates OnePlus from other brands is that they don’t follow the trend they set the trend. To set the trend once again OnePlus came up with an idea of a smartphone with invisible camera setup at the rear end making the device one of the most stunning looking pieces of art. They will be using a special type of glass to do so, known as ‘Electrochromic Glass’.
Electrochromic Glass
Electrochromic glass is a special kind of glass that can change its transparency depending upon the voltage applied. OnePlus has taken the inspiration from one of its collaborative car manufactures i.e. McLaren. One of the supercars from the McLaren comes with an option of electrochromic glass for which you have to shell out an extra $9000 to get that amazing sunroof over your $300,000 sports car. The same technology of glass is being used in aircraft from Boeing that tint’s the glass as required by the operator.
You must be wondering how this technology even works. Don’t worry at Tech Awareness we starve to produce content that explains technology in an easy and laymen way. So, let’s get started.
This is the technology that was used in some high-end sports cars and jets from Boeing and the technology is named ‘Electrochromic glass’. While going deep about electrochromic glass we must know that there are 3 types of electrochromic glass and they all possess different properties. While in this OnePlus device we will see the most advanced type of this glass.
The property of the Electrochromic glass fitted in OnePlus Concept One will use a voltage signal to communicate and change its property. The basic idea behind this concept is to hide cameras completely while not in use that makes the device nothing less than a gorgeous stunner.

The Story Behind Origination of OnePlus One Concept
OnePlus derived the motivation for using ‘Electrochromic
Glass’ while working on the McLaren edition of there recently launched device.
There is a story associated with it.
While the chief designer of the OnePlus was heading to the McLaren factory he was sitting in a McLaren and there he looked at the sunroof of McLaren he was completely stunned by the look, feel and usability of that sunroof, he instantly communicated this scenario with his team and administration. They were then allowed to work on that project.
But here comes the twist, if they use that glass to make a smartphone then the cost of manufacturing will reach the soaring heights. So, they decided to use that glass only to cover the camera set up to give the device a feel of the uni-material build.
But that was not all, then came the scenario in which the
being used will increase the thickness of the device and make it a bulky piece
of glass. So, the OnePlus team came with a solution to use only a thin layer of
glass to cover the camera module.
We’re bringing the #OnePlusConceptOne to #CES2020, but you don’t have to wait: you can get a sneak peek at it right here, along with its groundbreaking “invisible camera” and color-shifting glass technology. pic.twitter.com/elsV9DKctn
While having a chat with one of the representatives of
OnePlus we got to know that this would only be a concept device for now and
they are not planning to bring this device to the consumer market as of now but
we could expect this device to hit the smartphone market in upcoming years.
Lenovo started to show their presence at CES 2020 by introducing their gaming device which includes display, notebook and various other devices. Their gaming lineup notebook is pretty demanding and also favorite among users, so Lenovo has decided to iterate their Legion lineup with new 15-inch Legion Y740S also with an option of external GPU Legion BoostStation.
Lenovo Legion Y740S Made Gaming More Thing and Light
Legion Y740S Launch At CES 2020
Lenovo’s Legion gaming notebook offers good moderate performance at very reasonable costs. Lenovo also put their effort into the design which made the notebook looks amazing. Recently at CES Lenovo has announced 15-inch Legion Y740S which pretty thin and light in terms of performance.
Display
Display on the device offers from 1080P display to 4K display which is capable of HDR using Dolby Vision. The keyboard of the device also feels bouncier and has pretty good key travel with a tactile response without ghosting. You can also expect Dolby Atmos-capable speakers which may perform pretty decent. The display refresh rate of the device is 60Hz rather than other competitors moved toward 120Hz for smoother visuals.
Legion Y740S weighs only 4.2 pounds (1.9kg), which is just 0.6-inch thick (14.9 mm) which made the notebook light so gamers can carry easily.
Performance
While making the notebook thin Lenovo has sacrificed discrete GPU as now they completely rely on Integrated Intel’s GPU. While Lenovo also provided an option for External GPU which is the company’s first External GPU, the Legion BoostStation. The Integrated GPI performs pretty well for minimal tasks like surfing, moderated graphics-intensive applications, and light gaming. Intel has really improved its Integrated GPU with the introduction of Intel’s 10th-gen CPU.
From inside the notebook will have up to a 10th-gen Intel Core i9 H-series processor, which is termed as performance beast. The notebook can also be tied with up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 1TB of PCIe SSD storage.
Port selection of the device is pretty good as it starts with 2 Thunderbolt 3 port so that the user can connect their external GPU to the notebook and play their favorite game. Lenovo also adds two 3.1 Gen 2 ports that leave room for high-speed peripherals besides the eGPU. It also features an SD card reader and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Lenovo BoostStation: Provide Richer Gaming Experience at Minimal Cost

The BoostStation also provides an option to add external storage with slots for a hard disk/ SATA SSD or a pair of PCIe SSD modules, as long as the 500-watt power supply can accommodate your options. It doubles as a hub with two USB 3.1 ports, one USB 2.0 port, HDMI and Ethernet. The eGPU itself bears a strong resemblance to a rotated version of Razer’s Core X, with its slide-out tray, venting design, aluminum build and, an arrangement of the back Ethernet and USB ports.
Lenovo also offers some pre-equipped versions of the BoostStation with Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060,2070 or 2080 Super cards, a GTX 1660 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, though you can always choose your own graphics card. It starts at $250, which is a pretty good price for the empty box.
The notebook starts from $1,100 while the cost of specs out version is not available. While you can bundle the notebook with BoostStation for an extra $250.
