Xiaomi’s new Redmi Kids Watch Pro comes with two cameras and safety alerts

Xiaomi has just released a new smartwatch for children in China. It is called the Redmi Kids Watch Pro . The watch has a unique flip-up body that houses two cameras. One points at the user, and the other points outward. Both have 5-megapixel sensors, so kids can take selfies or snap pictures of their surroundings. The device monitors heart rate and blood oxygen. It also includes 18 exercise modes and five fitness tests. A special alert sends a notification to parents if the child gets too close to bodies of water like ponds, pools, or rivers. What makes this watch stand out is its location tracking. Even if the watch turns off, it can still share the child’s location for up to five days. It uses nearby Xiaomi gadgets to send the signal through the company’s device network. The watch also shows the exact floor inside a building and updates the position every second. It can even recognize subway stops and store travel routes for parents to review. Children...

Waze launches motorcycle mode and AI voice features

Waze has just announced a handful of fresh updates that aim to make navigation smoother for everyone, from bike riders to daily commuters. For starters, motorcycle riders now have their own dedicated mode. This setting uses smart technology to find routes that suit bikes better, like smaller roads and special shortcuts. It also warns riders about bumpy roads, narrow bridges, and other hazards that can be tricky on two wheels. The app is also learning your habits. If you always take the freeway instead of side streets, Waze will start suggesting similar routes based on your past drives. You can turn this off if you prefer the old way. There is also a quieter voice option now. It cuts back on frequent updates so you hear fewer prompts, but you will still get key alerts for turns and road dangers. On the voice control side, Waze has made reporting easier. You can now speak naturally to tell the app about closed roads or wrong addresses. These reports get checked by vo...

Smartphones must have removable batteries by 2027, but not all

The European Union passed legislation in 2023 requiring all portable electronic devices to have user-replaceable batteries by 2027. At first glance, the rule appears to have major implications for smartphones. However, not every device will be required to feature an easily removable battery. An amendment to the regulation states that devices are exempt if their batteries can retain at least 83% of their original capacity after 500 charge cycles and at least 80% after 1,000 charge cycles, provided they also carry an IP rating for dust and water resistance. In simpler terms, smartphones that can maintain at least 80% battery health after roughly three years of use and offer IP-certified water and dust resistance won’t need to adopt easily replaceable batteries. Fortunately for manufacturers, most modern smartphones and tablets already meet these requirements. Nearly all flagship models do, and even many midrange devices are capable of achieving the same battery ...

EU says FB and IG designs are too ‘addictive’ for users

The European Union (EU) has told Meta that its social media platforms could be breaking the law. Officials say the company has made Instagram and Facebook too addictive, especially for young people. The EU started looking into this back in May 2024. They were worried about how features like endless scrolling, videos that play automatically, constant notifications, and tailored content recommendations keep people glued to their screens. After months of investigation, the EU has now released its early conclusions . These findings say that Meta did not do enough to check how these features might harm users’ mental and physical health, particularly for children and vulnerable adults. The EU argues that these deliberate design choices push people into bad habits. They make it hard to stop using the apps, even when users want to. The commission also pointed out that short video formats like Reels and Stories add to the problem. Meta has pushed back against these claims...
