devices – Devstyler.io https://devstyler.io News for developers from tech to lifestyle Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:15:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.5 Ultrahuman reenters U.S. market and reignites battle with Oura with its Ring Pro https://devstyler.io/blog/2026/03/25/ultrahuman-reenters-u-s-market-and-reignites-battle-with-oura-with-its-ring-pro/ Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:15:25 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=136121 ...]]> Ultrahuman, a Bengaluru-based health-tech startup that produces smart rings, is attempting to revive its U.S. operations and compete with Oura, which has further strengthened its dominance over the market. This move comes after securing clearance for Ring Pro, the new smart ring, from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The Ring Pro is central to Ultrahuman’s comeback strategy, featuring a redesigned unibody metal structure that helped the startup secure U.S. clearance. The new device boasts improvements such as longer battery life and enhanced on-device processing, and is available for U.S. pre-orders starting at $399. Kumar said

“We believe the Ring Air is a non-infringing model, and we are fighting that in federal court in the U.S.”

The new approval follows an October ruling by the U.S. International Trade Commission in favor of Oura, that significantly restricted imports of Ultrahuman’s earlier Ring Air model.This decision resulted in as much as $50 million in lost sales, according to CEO Mohit Kumar. The U.S. continues to be the most vital market for smart rings, representing about 60% of the 4.4 million units sold globally in 2025.

The period of import restrictions has also caused rapid market consolidation in favor of Oura. The company capitalized on Ultrahuman’s absence, increasing its U.S. market share from 63.3% to 85%, while Ultrahuman’s share plummeted to low single digits from its peak of 24.6% in Q2 2025. The U.S. market previously accounted for up to 50% of Ultrahuman’s revenue. The company plans an immediate and aggressive rollout of the Ring Pro. According to Kumar it will take five to six months to reach full scale as it rebuilds its supply chain and distribution.

Google Releases Chrome for ARM https://devstyler.io/blog/2024/03/28/google-releases-chrome-for-arm/ Thu, 28 Mar 2024 13:35:22 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=120639 ...]]> Google has released a new version of Chrome designed for ARM-powered Windows 11 PCs, TechRadar reported. The new version of the web browser will particularly benefit from the upcoming Snapdragon X Elite (ARM-based) chip, which the company is predicting will be a big success.

Chrome for ARM64 is available for Windows devices using Snapdragon processors. According to Google, users planning to invest in the upcoming Snapdragon X Elite processor PCs will enjoy even higher performance.

A Google blog post explains that the idea is to have Chrome fully optimized for ARM systems so that it runs faster and smoother.

Word around tech circles is that Qualcomm’s new ARM-based processor is a serious threat to Apple’s M3 chip and that it offers serious AI acceleration capabilities to outperform Intel’s Meteor Lake processors.

Although users can use Chrome on computers with ARM processors through emulation, native apps offer significantly better performance. The first version of Chrome Canary for ARM64 was released a few months ago, and now the browser is about to make its public debut.

Qualcomm says it will help establish Snapdragon X Elite’s role as the leading platform for Windows PCs. The first Snapdragon X Elite devices are expected to arrive later this summer.

Microsoft Debuts First Surface Computers with AI Button https://devstyler.io/blog/2024/03/22/microsoft-debuts-first-surface-computers-with-ai-button/ Fri, 22 Mar 2024 12:05:45 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=120396 ...]]> Microsoft is launching its first Surface PCs with a dedicated Copilot button on the keyboard for quick chatbot access, CNBC reports.

This marks the biggest change to the computer keyboard in decades. Although the tech giant isn’t the biggest seller of PCs – that distinction belongs to Lenovo – it runs the most popular Windows operating system. Lenovo has announced its own computers with Copilot keys, as have Dell and HP.

When users type a few words into Copilot, which uses artificial intelligence models from OpenAI, servers in remote data centers do the necessary computational work to produce a response. Microsoft named the new machines as AI PCs.

The key that allows users to open the Copilot panel at any time on the right side of the screen helps with this. Each computer has an Intel processor
Core Ultra, which contains a dedicated neural processing unit, or NPU.

Surface computers have had NPUs since 2019.

When these NPUs are in a computer, the benefits include faster responses and better security. Recently added artificial intelligence features in Windows 11, such as automatic audio transcription and eye contact simulation during video calls, are run by the NPU, which frees up the rest of the chip for other tasks.

“We’re excited to bring to market devices that deliver great AI experiences for our customers,” Microsoft said.

The company reports that this is just the first part of its quest to provide consumers and organizations with improved devices that will not only boost their productivity, but also save some of their time on certain tasks.

The button’s introduction comes two weeks after Apple unveiled the MacBook Air laptops, which feature an upgraded Neural Engine accelerator in the custom M3 chip.

Android 15 will Support Satellite Messaging https://devstyler.io/blog/2024/03/22/android-15-will-support-satellite-messaging/ Fri, 22 Mar 2024 11:16:19 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=120368 ...]]> Android has announced the release of the second developer preview of Google’s Android 15. It offers the long-awaited support for satellite connectivity, as well as several improvements to contactless payments, multi-language recognition and interacting with PDF files via apps.

Also in the second preview version, there is also support for sending and receiving messages via SMS/MMS or RCS apps over satellite.

With the beta version, developers will be able to check and test features to be included in the final public release, due out later this year.

The latest pre-release for developers addresses some security issues faced by Android users. One of these relates to better awareness and clearer reasons why certain services are not available when devices are using a satellite connection, for example.

Another important support is informing users when the activity they perform on their device is recorded on the screen. Security for contactless payments is also improved for apps that use NFC.

Other updates include enhancements to PDF features in apps, which include support for password-protected files, annotations, form editing, search and copy-select.

Lenovo Introduces Transparent Display Laptop, Begins Collaboration with iFixit https://devstyler.io/blog/2024/02/26/lenovo-introduces-transparent-display-laptop-begins-collaboration-with-ifixit/ Mon, 26 Feb 2024 13:38:05 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=119087 ...]]> The processors of the ThinkPad devices and the keyboard will be updated

Lenovo updated some versions of ThinkPad and ThinkBook devices at the MWC 2024 event, during which the Transparent Display laptop was also introduced, announced The Verge.

The updated laptop models are ThinkPad T: ThinkPad T14 Gen 5, ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 and ThinkPad T16 Gen 3. All of them have Intel

Core Ultra processors. Also, they have a Lenovo communication bar that allows the camera and microphones to fit into the top frame.

Laptops are characterized by thinner top bezels and higher display ratios.

The company had added these features to other ThinkPad series laptops like the X1 Carbon and X1 Nano.

The T-Series keyboards have the same Fn, Insert, Enter, and Volume Up keys as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1

Gen 9 laptops. This innovation was made to facilitate the access and use of technical devices for the visually impaired.

Another change that Lenovo made is that they put the Ctrl button at the end of the keyboard keys, as most laptop manufacturers do. Until now, the company placed the Fn key at the end of the row of keys on the keyboard.

Also, Lenovo created a new additional Microsoft Copilot key, which is located between the Alt and Ctrl keys, positioned on the right side of the keyboard. Lenovo and iFixit are starting to work together to make the process easier when replacing certain hardware components on the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 and T16 Gen 3.

The companies will cooperate in the following areas: on the return of inserted DIMM slots instead of soldered RAM, on the insertion of wireless batteries, as well as on SSDs and slots for wireless adapters.

Lenovo makes it easy for users entering the process of getting their laptop repaired. The company clearly labels the SSD and RAM slots. It includes QR codes on the laptop case that are near every component that can be repaired. Also, the company also provides a video with instructions to be followed during the process.
