Mobvoi launches TicWatch Pro X in China with Snapdragon Wear 4100
Mobvoi is expanding its brand to new regions. The company just launched a “new” smartwatch for the Chinese market. The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro X is official for China, but has a lot of similarities with the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS, which launched (and we reviewed) last year.

The TicWatch Pro X is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100 Platform paired with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of on-board storage. It has an SPO2 sensor, heart rate monitoring, exercise tracking, SPO2 (Oxygen) sensor, NFC, IP68 water resistance, and support for LTE networks via eSIM.

Bigger battery, smaller notch and… almost the same design. The new iPhone 13 follows in the footsteps of the 2020 vanilla model perhaps a little too closely. But the 12 proved to be the top seller of its generation, so perhaps that’s not such a bad thing.
Windows 11 is officially available as of today – besides allowing users to install the new OS on compatible computers they already own, this will also affect new computers. Going forward, new devices should come with version 11 already installed, but there will be a transitional period when that is not the case.
Like other makers, Samsung is busy trying to iron out all the bugs in Android 12 before releasing it as a stable update. The Korean tech giant has yet another beta version of One UI 4.0 rolling out and this one comes with some important improvements and fixes.
According to a teardown analysis conducted by TechInsights, the build cost of a brand new 256GB storage iPhone 13 Pro is exactly $570. This figure represents a 4% increase over the 256GB iPhone 12 Pro’s bill of materials which is estimated at $548. For reference, a 256GB iPhone 13 Pro has an MSRP of $1,099. This means the bill of materials attributes to 52% of the phone’s final cost without factoring in other expenses like R&D, marketing and transportation, but also Apple’s economy of scale.
