Smartphone maker realme has just launched the realme Watch S Pro in the Philippines. Dubbed as the partner for your everyday lifestyle, the “pro” smartwatch packed more than just the essential features.

Currently, it’s the company’s most premium watch. It sports a 1.39-inch AMOLED round display with high resolution and brightness and uses a powerful dual-process supporting a faster refresh rate while consuming less power.

Also, it’s equipped with a 450mAh battery that lasts up to 14 days on a single charge. It also tracks up to 15 different workout modes, thanks to its advanced dual-satellite GPS sensors.

Additionally, the smartwatch measures steps, heart rate, sleep, and even blood oxygen levels. Moreover, the smartwatch comes with a premium build where you can pair over 100+ watch faces to suit your mood and style — all while only retailing for PhP 8,990.

Last year, Samsung patented one of the craziest ideas in the wearable market: a wearable charger that converts body heat to electrical energy. Though a wild idea, the patent, once developed, can potentially revolutionize how we think of rechargeable energy. For one, we wouldn’t say no to a body heat charger. Now, going outside the patent realm, a research development in the science industry has made such a charger more of a reality than a dream.

In the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder, researcher Jianliang Xiao and his team developed a “low-cost wearable device that transforms the human body into a biological battery.” Reported by science outlet SciTechDaily, the wearable charger functions much like how Samsung described its own device: harvesting body heat through thermoelectric generators which convert it into electricity.

Since Xiao’s device is already a proof in concept, the wearable device already has crunched in the numbers. For every square centimeter of body coverage, the device can generate around a volt of energy. Though the conversion can hardly charge a smartphone, a volt should be enough to top off wearables when in use.

According to the report, the technology should work even better as you exercise, making it a perfect application for fitness devices. Additionally, Xiao projects building on the project much like “small Lego pieces,” eventually creating a device which covers more surface area and, ergo, generating more energy.

Unfortunately, Xiao predicts that the technology will publicly arrive sometime between the next five to ten years. It’s still a while before a wearable charger will make it onto our fingers.

Through two generations, Apple has tried several form factors for its now-ubiquitous AirPods. You can’t own an iPhone anymore without an accompanying pair of Apple’s wireless earphones. From a pair of relatively loose buds to full over-ear headphones, iPhone users have a lot of choices on their plate. For this year, Apple is reportedly going a slightly different direction with the third generation AirPods, as seen in a new leak.

Reported by MacRumors, and leaked by 52audio, the third generation AirPods will don a new form factor. According to the leak, the earphones will have a more in-ear design, rather than just simply sitting in your ear. Further, the charging case shown in the photo is less wide than that of the AirPods Pro. It will also seemingly have an LED light on the center of the charging case.

According to more renders, the earphones will have removable silicone tips and a touch interface. Since other wireless earphones have the same features, it’s no surprise that the AirPods will have the same ones.

In terms of similarities with the AirPods Pro, the pair will reportedly have the same pressure-relieving system to make them more comfortable for users. According to previous rumors (and not pictured in the leak), the pair will not have active noise cancellation, an unfortunate loss from the previous generation.
