OPPO Watch Free & OPPO Enco Air 2 Preview – Two Wearables, One Opinion

First of all, many thanks to OPPO Malaysia for the review units.

I received the brand new OPPO Watch Free and Enco Air 2 wearables a few days ago and I am really excited to share my initial previews for both devices. I am astounded by the simplicity of both wearable designs but at the same time, feel premium.

Let’s check them out. And meanwhile, check out
my new TikTok page
 (yes I’m still new) and also watch the unboxing videos for both OPPO Watch Free and Enco Air 2 below.

Let’s start with the OPPO Watch Free

What you will get in this long box is the watch itself, charging cable and some documentation. It may seem simple but my first impression of the OPPO Watch Free itself was totally the opposite of simple. The Watch Free looks amazing. It feels super premium with its comfortable textured silicone strap and golden watch shell. The colour variant that I received is called “Vanilla”. And it does look like it. The other colour variant is black, which is somewhat standard.

The rectangular display on the watch is large, but not too large nor too small. It feels great on my wrist and most of the time I never realise that I have a watch on me. It has a 1.64” AMOLED display and I absolutely love the typeface it uses. It has a 326ppi display so everything looks really high-def and protected by scratch-resistant glass.

The initial startup is simple. It doesn’t have any buttons on the sides so there’s no way you can press anything to turn it on. Simply attach the magnetic charger around the back and it will boot up. Then you simply download OPPO’s Hey Tap Health app from Google Playstore or Apple App Store and you’re good to go. Connecting and syncing the Watch Free to your phone is made simple by the app.

Now, what are the features on this OPPO Watch Free? For starters, it is a fitness and health smartwatch. It aims to give you better sleep time and to live healthily. What it has is a comprehensive all-day sleep monitoring with blood oxygen level and snore monitoring. And yes, since I received the OPPO Watch Free, I have been wearing it to sleep. It monitors my sleep patterns and behaviours. It even reminds me to go to bed when I stay up too late.

It also comes with over 100 different types of exercise modes. Just select your desired exercise mode and go for it. Everything from your heartbeat to the distance will be recorded and sync with the phone app.

The new AI Smart Watch Face 2.0 looks amazing too. There are many watch faces to choose from. As for battery life, the OPPO Watch Free can last up to 14 days on a single charge.

Next is the OPPO Enco Air 2

In case you’re wondering, OPPO Enco Air 2 is a True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earphone. This is OPPO’s second version of the Air series TWS following the Enco Air.

After unboxing the Enco Air 2, what I like most is the translucent casing cover for the TWS. It just looks different and unique to its own. Some sort of an identity for the Enco Air 2. The TWS earphone itself has a similar design to the Enco Air but with much internal improvements.

The OPPO Enco Air 2 is light. But those with larger earlobes may feel the TWS to fit a little loose. For me, it fits just nicely. If I were to go out jogging (emphasis on “if”), the Enco Air 2 will not fall off that easily. So for me, that’s a plus point.

Initial tests on the sound quality are satisfactory. I was able to bump up the volume to 100% and it still sounded good. It has multiple sound effects that you can choose from the Hey Melody app and comes with a 13.4 mm speaker with composite titanium-plated diaphragm.

It also has a low-latency binaural synchronous transmission with Bluetooth 5.2 so you can play games on your phone with much lesser audio delay and of course, with the Game Mode turned on.

Another cool feature is the AI deep call noise cancellation. It functions as real-time separation technology of human voice and background noise that’s based on AI deep learning. It utilises the DNN (Deep Neural Network) to simulate the human binaural auditory system, intelligently and dynamically tracking human voice.

This ensures a clear, smooth and unimpeded call experience even in a noisy environment. It is also good to note that the OPPO Enco Air 2 is IPX4 rated water resistant TWS but it can only handle sweat or light rain. Best of all, it has 4 hours of continuous audio playback capabilities on the earphone and 24 hours for the entire device including the charging case.

My initial opinions

I honestly think that both wearable devices will exceed expectations for some people. It is made simple and yet able to deliver more than what it is expected. I mean, I did not put my hopes up high with the OPPO Enco Air 2 and yet I was blown away with the initial sound test. More tests will be done and I will elaborate more on that in my full review.

As for the OPPO Watch Free, I never thought it would look this good. I love the leather textured silicone strap and the watch itself looks premium. I certainly prefer this interface and typeface as compared to some others that I have. Plus, it has a larger AMOLED screen on it.

For the in-depth and full review, hold on for another couple of weeks for me to fully test and use both while making them my daily supporting devices. And do keep coming to this website to check out the full review in two weeks.

Until then, I’m going to have fun with these two devices.

Taking Actions for Sustainability

Aside from constantly researching and investing in technology, OPPO is equally passionate in making a difference for humanity and for society.

“2022 is a critical year in our pursuit to achieve the Global Goals, as the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed decades of progress in global human development,” said UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner. “Despite this somber reality, I am confident that the strength and perseverance of the young generation will help us build back better from the crisis and propel positive change on education, inclusion and climate. These six young leaders and the entire Generation17 community remind us that we need to step up our efforts to achieve the Global Goals and protect our collective futures.”

An Initiative Driven By and For Young People

Since its launch, Generation17 has been spearheaded by and in support of young people. Samsung and UNDP continuously engage with the Young Leaders to determine their biggest needs and discover support systems to help scale and advance their work.

Together, the two entities provide the latest Galaxy technology, amplify their stories on global platforms, facilitate peer networking and best-practice sharing, offer mentorship opportunities and invite them to global agenda-setting stages like the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum.

In 2022 and beyond, Samsung and UNDP are committed to exploring new ways to partner with the Young Leaders. This includes convening the first-ever “Generation17 Youth Dialogues,” an event to rally Global Goals advocates from all over the world for knowledge sharing on how people can best navigate the Global Goals and achieve a more sustainable future.

The 14 Young Leaders will connect people to solutions that actively contribute to the Global Goals, including the
Samsung Global Goals app
. Launched in 2019 by Samsung and UNDP, the app provides learning opportunities on the Global Goals and shares easy and meaningful ways to make a difference.

The app is currently installed on nearly 200 million Galaxy devices and has generated more than US$4 million in donations to educate the Galaxy community about the world’s most pressing challenges and strengthen UNDP’s work in supporting countries to implement integrated solutions for the Global Goals.


Samsung Repurposes Discarded Fishing Nets For New Galaxy Devices

In a move that combines sustainability and innovation, Samsung Electronics developed a new material that gives ocean-bound plastics new life as they’re incorporated into various Galaxy devices.
Made of repurposed ocean-bound discarded fishing nets
, this cutting-edge material marks an incredible achievement in our
Galaxy for the Planet
 journey that aims to minimize our environmental footprint and help foster more sustainable lifestyles for the Galaxy community.

Now and into the future, Samsung will incorporate repurposed ocean-bound plastics throughout our entire product lineup, starting with our new Galaxy devices that will be revealed on February 9
th
 at Unpacked.

These devices will reflect our ongoing effort to eliminate single-use plastics and expand the use of other eco-conscious materials, such as recycled post-consumer material (PCM) and recycled paper. With this transformation, the future of Galaxy technology will bring leading product design and deliver better environmental impact.

The Hidden Threat of Discarded Fishing Nets

When you think of ‘ocean-bound plastic’, you likely envision a water bottle or a grocery bag drifting on the ocean surface. What may not come to mind is a more hidden threat – the
640,000 tons of fishing nets
 that are abandoned and discarded every year.

Lingering in our oceans for centuries, these ‘ghost nets’ are responsible for trapping and entangling marine life, damaging coral reefs and natural habitats and even ending up in our food and water sources. These discarded fishing nets are disrupting the delicate balance of our environment at an alarming rate. Collecting and repurposing these nets are vital first steps in keeping our oceans clean as well as preserving the planet and our collective future.

Designing More Sustainable Products

Samsung has always pushed the boundaries of mobile technology, and the company is now looking to do the same with its sustainability practices. By giving new life to discarded fishing nets that would otherwise become dangerous waste, Samsung – through its creative solution – exemplifies how we can all do more with less to conserve our planet’s resources.

Simplify your Life with Samsung Smart Home Appliances

After spending most of the past two years indoors, rethinking how your home functions has never been more imperative. These days, we need a living space that fosters comfort, wellness and productivity, and part of that means looking after your house and its inhabitants.

Of course, household chores are exactly that—a chore—but Samsung’s AI-enabled and smart home appliances are designed to help make your life easier and more efficient.

Start your day with the Side by Side Refrigerator

If the kitchen is the heart of the home, then the refrigerator is surely its major vessel.
The Samsung Side by Side Refrigerator with Family Hub
 is more than just a fridge—it provides a fun way to share messages, photos, schedules, and other bits of information.

You can also make phone calls, watch TV, use apps, listen to music, browse the Internet and control your smart devices, all via your fridge.

With View Inside, you can quickly see what’s in the fridge anytime, anywhere on your smartphone. An internal camera shows the contents of your fridge and even tags food expiration dates. You can also automatically create a shopping list, food memos or reminders—this helps you shop more efficiently and reduce waste.

Save yourself the hassle of thinking about what to cook every day with the Meal Planner app. This app creates a weekly meal plan that suggests what you can cook based on what’s currently in your fridge.

Then, using the Recipe app, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and food profiling technology come together to create delicious recipes with simple instructions so you can cook the food your family loves.

Aside from that, the smart fridge can be part of your daily routine in many other ways. Enrich your family life by sharing news, messages, special moments, and videos on the fridge’s Family Board.

Stay up to date with important information—the Morning Brief app displays the weather forecast, food reminders and your calendar on the fridge’s screen.

The Calendar app ensures that you’ll never miss an event again—you can share and check the schedules of family members at a glance. These are just some of the many exciting features that this smart fridge offers.

Cut down your cooking time with the HotBlast™ Convection Microwave Oven

After letting your smart fridge do your meal planning for you, it’s time for some cooking!
Samsung’s Convection Microwave Oven
 with its signature HotBlast™ technology will help you get food on the table in no time. This technology is an innovative new way of cooking that significantly reduces cooking time.

Powerful hot air is blown through multiple air-holes directly onto the food, so it’s cooked evenly with a crispy outside but juicy inside.

In one single device, you can enjoy a variety of cooking options—air fry, grill, bake, steam and microwave in this all-in-one oven. A multi-functional appliance is exactly what you need to cater to your family’s varying needs, and the bonus is that you won’t have multiple units taking up your kitchen counter space.

With a durable ceramic enamel finish on its interior that makes it super easy to clean, this convection microwave oven is an essential tool to add to your cooking arsenal.

Keep your laundry pile in check with the Ecobubble™ Washer Dryer

We all know the struggle of dealing with a seemingly endless laundry pile. It just always seems to keep growing! Enter:
Samsung Front Load Washer Dryer with AI Ecobubble™

With QuickDrive™ activated, you can spend 50% less time on washing, utilizing the efficient Q-Bubble™ technology. Auto Dispense also helps to make laundry effortless, by automatically dispensing the appropriate amount of detergent and softener every single time, making sure you get the best washing results for each load.

The unit’s Hygiene Steam function is perfect for you and family, effectively removing ingrained grime and 99.9% of bacteria and allergens by saturating the clothes within the drum with steam.

In addition, Air Wash technology deodorizes and sanitizes your clothes, eliminating unpleasant odours as well as 99.9% of bacteria, using just heated air—no nasty chemicals needed here.

Hands-free and dust-free with the Jet Bot robotic vacuum cleaner

Keeping your floors clean is crucial in any house, but sometimes life gets the better of you, and it’s just impossible to make this a routine task. Take this off your housework list and let
Samsung’s Jet Bot AI+
 do the dirty work!

The Jet AI Object Recognition technology lets this nifty robotic vacuum navigate your home with efficiency and care by recognizing different objects, keeping a safe distance from fragile objects and avoiding anything dangerous.

The 3D Sensor precisely scans a wider area using a 3D depth camera, perceiving the room structure and obstructions while the LiDAR Sensor detects distance and tracks location for precise movements.

After the Jet Bot AI+ has finished cleaning, it automatically returns to the Clean Station, a 2-in-1 charging and disposal station. There, it hygienically empties out the dirt and dust into a 2.5L dustbag that you only need to replace once every two to three months, keeping your hands — and your surrounding air — clean and dust-free.

Choose a smarter way of living

With smart home appliances, you can now cultivate an environment that allows you to go through your day-to-day activities with ease and simplicity, making your daily life as stress-free as possible.

By connecting these appliances to your smartphone via the Samsung SmartThings app, you can experience even greater accessibility and control your smart fridge, washer, and vacuum all from the palm of your hand.

Coordinate activities on your fridge, schedule laundry on your washer, or even use the vacuum’s camera to keep an eye on your pets remotely—the possibilities are endless with Samsung’s smart home appliances.

These connected living products use smart technologies that optimize the way you live your life efficiently and sustainably. If you’re looking to elevate your quality of life, try Samsung appliances and feel the difference.

Google and Apple-beating Text Prediction Patent Filed by Typewise

Zurich-based deep tech company Typewise have filed a patent for their autocorrect and text prediction technology that outperforms Google Gboard and Apple keyboard.

The patent (U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/134,347, filed January 2022, entitled: “Methods and Systems for Modifying User Input Processes”) details Typewise’s advanced text prediction and autocorrect technology that powers its popular keyboard app (
https://typewise.app/keyboard-app
), as well as their new browser-based writing assistant (
https://typewise.app/desktop
), and their API (
https://typewise.app/api
).

In ongoing tests conducted by Typewise, their autocorrect technology corrects a higher percentage of errors than either Google Gboard or Apple keyboard and delivers a much lower percentage of miscorrected words. Typewise’s text prediction also saves a greater percentage of character input than either of the two Big Tech giants.

David Eberle, Typewise Co-founder and CEO explains

“We are generally fans of Apple but neither they, nor Google have nailed autocorrect or text prediction. We wanted to build something better and that’s exactly what our AI-powered technology has achieved, which we are now protecting with this patent. Our work demonstrates how it is possible for smaller companies to beat Big Tech when focus and execution are done well.

“Although our autocorrect and text prediction AI already outperforms the competition straight out of the box, it also learns from the user, picking up their slang and dialects, so gets even better with time. It does all this without transferring any user typing data to the cloud; instead, our tech takes place on-device. In addition, we’re continually improving our AI so expect to see the gap between Typewise and others’ offerings grow even greater over the next 18 months.”

The eye-catching honeycomb layout along with the advanced autocorrect and text prediction functionality have also impressed the judges of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), winning Typewise Innovation Awards in both 2022 and 2021.

Typewise are now using their text prediction AI to expand into the lucrative B2B arena with their desktop solution. Their browser-based writing tool enables businesses to write and reply to emails, documents and support chats up to three times faster, offering a significant boost in productivity and quality, which is especially advantageous for customer support and sales departments.

Unpacking the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G: 4 ‘Firsts’ that Break the Rules

The launch of the
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G

at Unpacked 2022 marks many new milestones for the beloved Galaxy series. Marrying the productivity prowess of the Note series and the pro-grade camera and performance of the S series, the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G sets a new standard for what a smartphone can be: The most powerful Ultra device that Samsung has ever created, to offer the ultimate smartphone experience today.

Read on to find out more about four cutting-edge features of the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G that break the rules of mobile innovation.

1. Create to Your Heart’s Content – First built-in S Pen in the S Series

A handy stylus on your smartphone unlocks endless possibilities for creative and productive scenarios beyond doodling and writing.

Traditionally a feature included with the Note, Note users’ favorite
S Pen
 now comes built-in with the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, enabling fresh new ways to level up your creativity and get things done.

The much-improved S Pen experience means that you write and draw on the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G ’s bright and expansive screen, making it the perfect tool to capture eureka moments through words or sketches while enjoying a more realistic pen-to-paper feel.

The S Pen also gives you instant access to signature S Pen tools such as Samsung Notes and Live Message, and the handwriting to text function has been upgraded to support 87 languages, so note-taking is more convenient than ever, especially when you’re on-the-go.

And that’s not all. The S Pen can also act as a nifty remote control to run your presentation from afar or be used to take a snapshot with the phone camera. Use it to annotate PDFs without downloading an additional app, and even zoom in to magnify anything on your screen by up to 300 percent.

2. Super-charged Heart & Brain – First 4nm Processor on a Galaxy

In a smartphone, the smaller its processor, the better the device.

As the first Galaxy device to be running on Samsung’s groundbreaking
4nm Processor
, the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G makes multitasking on your phone even easier. The new processor enables Samsung’s most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) processing to run smoothly, delivering unrivaled performance for all your streaming, gaming and productivity needs.

As you create new content, the advanced AI features work in the background to improve the clarity and quality of photos and videos by helping subjects stand out better from the background, while simultaneously detecting and concentrating on multiple objects within the same scene for better focus and improved image steadiness.

3. A Battery that Goes On & On – First Galaxy battery that Lasts for More than a Day

With all the powerful features built into the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, rest assured that the device is well-equipped to endure long hours of use. Samsung has combined its power-efficient
4nm Processor
 with a large
5,000mAh battery
 to ensure that S22 Ultra can last for more than a day on a single full charge.

What’s more, the device even supports
45W super-fast charging
, which lets you record more than 50 minutes of video – after a 10-minute charge – so you can keep calm and carry on with minimal disruption to your work or play.

4. Pro-grade Camera in Your Pocket – First 12bit HDR available in a Galaxy S Series

Whether you’re a casual user or a seasoned content creator, the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G enables users to capture stunning photos and videos all day and all night. With a
2.4um pixel sensor
, Samsung’s largest pixel sensor ever, the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G can capture more light and data with its camera lenses to draw out the details.

With the free Expert RAW app, you also have access to DLSR-like controls to capture incredible moments.

To make the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G even more amazing, its camera can capture more than 68 billion colors with the first-ever
12bit HDR
 available in a Galaxy S series phone for more vibrant and true-to-life videos.

With the 12bit HDR that comes in the latest Galaxy S series, Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G users can record and view all the incredible details even in the very bright and dark areas of the scene, even if the shot is backlit, similar to what you see with your own eyes.

Hybrid WiFi 6 powerline mesh router system with integrated HomePlug AV2 technology is ideal for overcoming thick walls to deliver whole-home WiFi coverage

Key Points

Ideal for overcoming thick walls:
Hybrid WiFi 6 and powerline design enables reliable whole-home mesh WiFi coverage in properties up to 5500 sq. ft.

2X faster powerline:
 HomePlug AV2 MIMO technology enables speeds over electrical wiring of up to 1300 Mbps, up to 2X faster than the previous standard
Flexible placement and hassle-free
setup:
Router and nodes can be placed almost anywhere; easy 3-step setup and management with ASUS Router app
Always secure, everywhere:
 Lifetime free ASUS AiProtection Pro secures all connected devices; ASUS Instant Guard protects public WiFi connections

ASUS today announced that ZenWiFi AX Hybrid (XP4), a dual-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) powerline mesh router system with HomePlug AV2 MIMO backhaul capability, is now ready to make its market debut.

ZenWiFi AX Hybrid is capable of combined WiFi 6 speeds of up to 1800 Mbps. It also incorporates HomePlug AV2 MIMO powerline technology, which can deliver backhaul connections of up to 1300 Mbps between the main router and the mesh nodes, using the standard domestic electrical wiring system. This hybrid technology ensures fast and reliable WiFi signals throughout the entire home, with estimated coverage up to 5500 square feet.

Unlike rival systems, ZenWiFi AX Hybrid allows completely flexible placement of the nodes, as they only need to be connected to a power outlet in order to establish a backhaul connection.

This makes it very easy to deploy, even for inexperienced users. The system is also easy to set up and manage, with a simple three-step setup procedure along with intuitive network configuration and management via the ASUS Router app.

In the home, Commercial-grade network security with advanced Parental Controls is provided by lifetime free AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro
™
, and outside the home ASUS Instant Guard makes any public WiFi connection secure with a VPN connection to the router.

Ideal for overcoming thick walls

ZenWiFi AX Hybrid continues the mission of the award-winning ZenWiFi series, which is to banish dead WiFi zones and provide fast, reliable whole-home WiFi coverage. In particular, ZenWiFi AX Hybrid provides a solution to the problem of poor WiFi backhaul connections caused by thick or metal-reinforced walls and other obstacles to wireless signals.

With fast HomePlug AV2 powerline technology, domestic electrical wiring can be used to deliver a full-speed backhaul connection between the main router and each node. HomePlug AV2 uses MIMO and beamforming technologies, with special signal techniques that greatly increase the available bandwidth over electrical circuits to 1300 Mbps, almost twice as fast as the previous HomePlug standard.

This makes it ideal for the backhaul connection between the main router and each node: ZenWiFi can be easily configured to prioritize powerline for the backhaul connection, or automatically choose the best type of connection — WiFi 6, wired gigabit Ethernet or powerline — depending on the environment.

Manual selection is also possible. With its powerful WiFi 6 speeds of up to 1800 Mbps, combined with these versatile backhaul options, ZenWiFi AX Hybrid enables effortless whole-home coverage for areas of up to 5500 square feet.

Flexible placement and hassle-free setup

Despite its powerful connectivity and rich features, ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid can be set up and configured by anyone, even those with limited technical knowledge. Powerline backhaul technology means that the node can be placed almost anywhere there’s a wall socket, with no need to worry about WiFi transmission between the node and the main router.

The easy three-step setup procedure using the free ASUS Router app allows users to get their whole-home WiFi network up and running in just a few minutes. Because the system supports ASUS AiMesh technology, the network can be extended even further using either additional ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid nodes, or any AiMesh-enabled ASUS router.

Users can monitor network status via the app, and also tailor their WiFi network configuration to their individual needs: conveniently, they can choose a single SSID name for the entire network, or assign individual SSID names to each frequency band.

Always secure, everywhere

ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid includes free lifetime network security with AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro, with regularly updated security signatures that ensure protection is always up to date.

AiProtection Pro protects all connected devices, and provides an extra layer of security for personal data for families, or for business data when working from home. Built-in advanced Parental Controls allow users to monitor and schedule family members’ internet time with just a few clicks.

Outside the home, ZenWiFi AX Hybrid features ASUS Instant Guard to secure free public WiFi connections in coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, airports. With just a click, Instant Guard creates a private VPN data tunnel to the VPN server on the router, providing the safest possible public WiFi connection for the user.
