The post Top 20 Most Anticipated Phone Releases for 2022 appeared first on Tech Business News.

2022’s most hotly anticipated phone is the iPhone 14. Likely to arrive in September 2022, just like September 2021’s release of the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 series has garnered over 1 million global searches in the last year – more than double that of the next phone in the rankings (the Samsung Galaxy S22 with 518,000 searches).  

With millions of Apple phone users across the globe, it’s no surprise that the Apple iPhone SE 3 ranked in third place, with just over 285,000 global searches last year. The iPhone SE 3 is a perfect alternative for those who might not want to wait until the end of the year for a new iPhone, with a potential release rumoured as early as March 2022. 

Models from Chinese brands Vivo (the V23 garnered 195,700 global searches) and Xiaomi (the Xiaomi 12 received 165,300 searches) make up the top five most anticipated releases. Interestingly, the only foldable phones to find themselves in the top 20 are the Oppo Find N and Google’s Pixel Fold, and Finnish brand Nokia places highly in ninth position with the much anticipated X50. 

Apple’s iPhone 14 Is The Most Anticipated Phone Release Of 2022

While the base model iPhone 14 will reportedly be relatively similar to the 13 when it comes to aesthetics, the Pro, Pro Max and a potential new model currently known as the iPhone 14 Max will likely have a completely overhauled design. This is set to include a new approach to the ‘notch’, in addition to various camera and processing improvements, highlighting yet another step forward for Apple’s flagship product. 

Len Leeson, Founder of Mozillion, comments:  

“Brands such as Apple and Samsung are consistently popular with consumers, but it’s great to see our research revealing demand for less well-known brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo too.

World’s most advanced’ humanoid robot is unveiled in a UK lab with creepy realistic facial expressions and movements

The company behind human-like robots, Engineered Arts has unveiled a new creation that can amaze you even more. “Ameca” is a new humanoid robot that lacks lifelike hair and skin like the Mesmer models, can instead show more human, natural-looking expressions than other robots.

The Ameca robot is a fully articulated android. Its facial expressions and body language are realistic and it is reminiscent of Fallout synths. This new generation of robots is becoming more human-like, and we can’t wait to see it interact with people.

Cornish-based Engineered Arts calling itself “the UK’s foremost designer and manufacturer of humanoid entertainment robots”, enthusiastically presented the machine on YouTube. Many viewers expressed their amazement at how realistic and human the machine is.

The the articulated robot has a non-functional lower half, which means that it can’t walk. The robot’s upper half is fully functional, and Engineered Arts has performed research on walking robots, but the company hasn’t applied it to the robot.

Ameca’s realism and ability to look human are impressive, and it’s easy to see why Ameca is such a big hit with consumers and businesses alike. The robot is a humanoid entertainment robot modelled after a human. The company says it’s perfect for testing the abilities of artificial intelligence. However, the company’s marketing campaign has been overshadowed by the creepy video that was uploaded to YouTube.

New Tap IP and Tap Scheduler deliver simple, efficient meeting experiences for hybrid work inside and outside the meeting room

Today, Logitech has expanded its video collaboration portfolio to include Tap IP, a networked conference room controller, and Tap Scheduler, a specially designed meeting scheduling panel for any conference space.

Created to make it easier to schedule and join video meetings when many hybrid workers return to the office, Tap IP and Tap Scheduler are fully integrated with major collaboration platforms and connected by a single Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable for clean and simple installation.

“The current touch controller market has a problem with Goldilocks: a high-end that is complex, expensive, and largely proprietary; and lower-end tablets dominated by consumer tablets that were not designed to meet corporate requirements such as remote device management, security and cable management, said Scott Wharton, general manager and vice president, Logitech Video Collaboration

“Tap IP and Tap Controller were designed from the ground up to deliver secure, enterprise-grade performance; stylish design including stylish cable retention; and compatibility with the industry’s leading service players – all at an affordable price,” said Wharton.

Meetings start with one touch using Logitech Tap IP. With a single touch controller that works seamlessly with Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android, Zoom Rooms, and more, Logitech Tap IP provides a reliable and consistent room-to-room experience. By integrating directly with the Logitech Conferencecam Camera, users can enjoy the same One-Touch Meeting feature as Logitech Tap, with lower cost and easier installation thanks to an IP-based network connection.

With clean, secure cable management and flexible mounting options, Tap IP can be easily and securely installed virtually anywhere in the meeting room. Featuring a sleek and intuitive design, Tap IP has the right presence in the room so teams can focus on collaboration.

We haven’t heard much about the GoPro Hero 10 Black before its expected launch – but the only clue was so comprehensive that it told us pretty much everything we needed to know. Now a new leak adds an important detail that was missing: the price.

According to WinFuture, the GoPro Hero 10 Black will go on sale for 540 euros. A direct currency conversion brings us $ 640 / £ 460 / AU $ 865, but GoPro doesn’t use direct currency conversion – it might be more helpful to say that the Hero 9 Black originally retailed for almost € 480, so it sounds like an annual model more expensive.

You can get the current GoPro Hero 9 Black for $450 / £430 / AU $670, so expect those prices to go up when the GoPro Hero 10 Black is officially unveiled – something that should happen in the coming weeks.

The latest WinFuture article also reveals more about the features brought by the GoPro Hero 10 Black, powered by a new chipset called GP2. It is apparently twice as powerful as that of the Hero 9 Black

This will result in better low-light videos as well as improved image stabilization, according to WinFuture sources. There’s also a new lens cap with a hydrophobic (water-repellent) coating that also minimizes reflections, which should further improve the quality of photos and videos you can capture with your camera.

As for the front screen, WinFuture says it will run at a faster refresh rate than Hero 9 Black, for a more fluid viewing experience. Plus, get touch controls and a shutter-release button that operate faster

The GoPro Hero 10 Black sounds like a beast of an action camera!

It doesn’t look like the GoPro Hero 10 will add a huge number of improvements over the current model – and the design will remain more or less identical – but rumored updates make us think this will be an action camera worth looking into.

Due to increasing global warming, pollution, and energy prices, consumers are opting for more eco-friendly products and solutions for their everyday lives. Thanks to technology, consumers now have more options for eco-friendly products.

These products not only help save the environment but also help people save on costs. From upgraded household products to new innovations, here’s a list of eco-friendly devices and technologies that you should start using today.

1. Smart Power Strip

Eco-friendly devices like smart power strips help households conserve energy and save more on energy costs. These products look similar to the traditional power strips, but they can detect if the gadgets or appliances plugged in are on standby. Unfortunately, appliances and gadgets still consume electricity even when they are turned off, so that adds to your overall energy use. Smart power strips turn off these appliances, so you don’t waste energy. Some smart power strips can also be controlled via smartphone for better automation and convenience.

2. Electric Mobility Devices

One eco-friendly technology that has been gaining popularity is electric vehicles, specifically personal mobility devices. These devices include electric bikes, electric skateboards, hoverboards, and electric scooters, among others. Since these transport devices don’t emit any harmful gases, they help reduce the carbon emissions from road transportation. After all, if car riders switch to electric mobility devices, then there would be fewer cars on the road and less harmful gases in the atmosphere. Moreover, these devices are efficient, portable, and convenient, making them good commuter transport options. Because of these benefits, electric bikes might be the future of transportation.

3. Self-cleaning Water Bottle

A self-cleaning water bottle may be something that you think you might not need. However, it’s a good eco-friendly product to have, especially when travelling. For one, you don’t need to use disposable water bottles, so you help reduce litter. However, one downside to reusable water bottles is that it’s prone to accumulating bacteria and residue. Washing it may be inconvenient when travelling, and using dishwashing soap to clean it also counts as pollutants in the ocean. With a self-cleaning water bottle, these concerns are resolved. These bottles use UV-C light to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, sterilising the whole bottle.

4. Solar Watch

Although watches tend to last longer and use small batteries, they still contribute to waste when discarded. Solar watches prolong the life of a watch since it runs on solar power. Some solar watches only need a few hours of sun for it to run the whole year. Many watch brands like Seiko have come out with solar watches to improve their environmental impact.

5. Solar Charger

Portable power banks have become a convenient means of charging your gadgets when travelling or on the go. However, some chargers have incorporated solar power technology to make them eco-friendly. Aside from its environmental impact, the best thing about solar chargers is that you can charge anywhere as long as there’s sunlight. These devices also last longer, making them cost-effective.

Is it necessary to register and get a license to fly a drone? This is the most frequently asked question from future drone owners.

Under the law of January 3, 2018, users of recreational drones are required to register their drones with the FAA. They must also mark the exterior of the drone with the registration number and provide proof of flight registration. In addition, pilots are only allowed to fly for recreational purposes.

This next part is very important: pilots must keep the drone below 400 feet in “Class G” or uncontrolled airspace. It simply refers to the airspace where the FAA does not control manned air traffic, meaning you can safely fly your drone there. Fortunately, most drones and their accompanying mobile apps offer guidance on identifying the correct airspace and altitude.

What Is a Drone License?

A drone license, more officially known as a long-term pilot certificate, is one of the new requirements stemming from 14 CFR Part 107 rules implemented by the FAA in 2016. The Part Rules 107 have been created as a legal framework for commercial activities drone flights in the United States.

Why Is It Needed?

In addition to requiring commercial drone pilots to obtain a drone license, Article 107 also imposes several bans on drone flights. These restrictions include not flying drones over moving people or vehicles, flying only within sight, and always granting access rights to manned aircraft. Section 107 regulation continues to evolve and has been the subject of several rounds of review and revision in recent years.

License to Fly Drones for Commercial Purposes

 A license is required to fly your drone for commercial purposes. If you have the slightest desire to use a drone to generate money in any way, do so wisely and get a license so that you are never outside the law. It doesn’t seem dangerous that your friend pays you for some great photos you took with a drone while walking in Middle Teton. But if you don’t have a license to fly a drone, you’re acting outside the law. Even if you don’t raise funds for the activity, it can still be considered a commercial flight with your drone, and requires a permit. Prevention is better than cure.

With effective training in drone schools like DART Drones to pass the General Unmanned Aerial Test Part 107 – Minor Test. There is no reason to be unsafe and validate to get your pilot’s license. Drone, so you are covered in case you decide to get it pay for your confusion with the drone. It’s worth it.
