It’s almost like everywhere you went in the past week, people were talking about BGMI making a comeback. “It is available on the Playstore but the servers are inactive” and “Will BGMI ever even come online?” were some of the things my friends were spotted saying mid-conversation. Well, mobile gamers can finally breathe a sigh of relief as after a long and tedious wait, BGMI has officially made a comeback in the Indian market.
BGMI is back!
Krafton’s Battlegrounds Mobile India has finally made its official comeback. Users can now simply download the BGMI 2.5 version from their respective app stores and experience the newly updated and also heavily Indianized version of the PUBG Mobile. Besides the comeback, BGMI is also offering up to four rewards which include free permanent skins to celebrate its comeback, but there is a catch!
BGMI 2.5 is forced to follow the regulations set by the Indian government. This has translated to Krafton imposing a limited playtime of only 3 hours for players aged below 18. Players above the age of 18 can enjoy the game for 6 hours only (not that you should be playing the game for that long)
Besides the limitations comes the addition of a new map titled Nusa. It is a 1×1 map of a resort island placed somewhere in the tropical zone. It is said to be one of the smallest maps ever introduced in the game with each match in the game lasting only about 8 minutes. There are also several new features in the game like zip lines and elevators which can be installed in hotels for quick transportation across the island.
Besides the new map, new updates have also been made to the older maps. BGMI’s Livik map has received improved textures while Miramar receives new supply shops. It looks like Krafton was long waiting to make a comeback in the Indian market with BGMI as the relaunch of the game also brings about new in-game events. Some of the events in-game vents include Race To The Top In Battlegrounds, Hot Drop Into The Battlegrounds, Gameplay Glory, Underworld Unleashed, and much more.
Tecno is on a launching spree. A couple of months ago, they launched the first made-in-India and affordable foldable phone, the Tecno Phantom Fold. This time around, Tecno brings something for all the content creators, camera enthusiasts and the general public alike, the Tecno Camon 20 series. The series includes three phones, the Tecno Camon 20, Camon 20 Pro and the Camon 20 Premier. The entire series is distinguishable, with a unique puzzle design throughout the line-up with different rear designs based on the model of choice.
Camon 20
Starting at just 14,999 INR, the Camon series is powered by a respectable Helios G85 coupled with a 64MP primary sensor sporting Tecno’s latest AI innovation in their camera capture software called GRBW+ Pro. Offered in base specifications as compared to the entire line-up, the Camon 20 impresses with the camera alone. The Helios G85 and the 6GB RAM are sufficient for a budget device, with HiOS based on Android 13 running on the entire new series of phones. Tecno Camon 20 also features other software enhancements and AI algorithms, making this budget camera-centric phone perform wonders in all light conditions. The large AMOLED FHD+ with an in-display fingerprint scanner and up to 256GB ROM makes this an appealing budget package. Camon 20 shall be on sale from 20th May 2023.
Camon 20 Pro
Available in 128 and 256GB ROM, the Camon 20 series performs better with the Mediatek Dimensity 8050 processor coupled with 8GB RAM + 8GB expandable. An AMOLED 6.67-inch 120Hz panel with an in-display fingerprint sensor adds charm to the Camon 20 Pro. Also, it brings functionality like a headphone jack, a rear that looks identical to the more capable Camon 20 Premier and all the goodies of AI algorithms from the flagship phone in the series. The 128GB variant is priced at INR 19,999, whereas the 256GB variants can be had for INR 21,999. The Camon 20 Pro series will be available post 2nd week of June and looks like a promising lower-mid-range phone with impressive camera features.
Camon 20 Premier
The Tecno Camon 20 series’s flagship phone brings the best features in a rather affordable package. Like the Camon 20 Pro, this phone sports similar MediaTek Dimensity 8050, 8GB RAM + 8GB expandable, a similar large 120Hz AMOLED panel with colour accuracy and flat glossy edges. The USP of the Camon 20 Premier, which makes it interesting, is the sensor-shift stabilisation found in the iPhone Pro series. Not only does this phone sport a moving sensor for added stability and low-light capabilities, but it also features better cameras with a 50MP + 108MP (primary) + 108MP UW sensor that doubles as an excellent macro sensor. The OIS + sensor shift enables great video stability and low-light images. The launch of the premier is awaited in the last week of June, and if priced competitively, it just might be one of the best cameras on a smartphone at an affordable price.
The Camon 20 series gets 5000mAh Li-ion batteries with bundled 45W chargers. Speaking of the CAMON 20 series in India, Arijeet Talapatra, CEO of TECNO Mobile India, mentioned, “TECNO has changed gears and has started making strong inroads in the premium segment by bringing best-in-class technology in our smartphones for our users at much accessible price points. Through our CAMON portfolio, we continually strive to push the boundaries and revolutionize the photography experience. With the CAMON 20 series, we present a solution for those seeking exceptional night photography capabilities, delivering sharper and more detailed pictures in any lighting situation. This new camera-centric range of smartphones brings together innovative imaging technologies delivering advanced portrait and video capabilities that let users record those emotional motion moments in sharper detail, while its striking aesthetic design and powerful performance complete an all-around exceptional user experience.”
We wish Tecno all the best with the Camon 20 series. We barely had time to click some pictures and videos from these phones, but our little experience showcased some promising results. We would like to see some competitive pricing on the Camon 20 Premier 5G as and when it launches by the end of June. The 6nm Dimensity 8050 and the additional expandable RAM over the DDR4x 8GB RAM, with good AMOLED panels, make an appealing case for the Camon 20 series. The hardware seems impressive, and the camera software AI algorithms are also fascinating. We hope the overall UI improves with time and updates flow as frequently as the Tecno phone launches.
At this point, it feels like stories have become the most common form of communication when it comes to social media. Creators now maximize their stories as opposed to posts in order to update their followers about their life happenings. While stories on Instagram and Snapchat seem to be soaring high, YouTube is going in the opposite direction and bidding them goodbye. Starting next month, YouTube will no longer support stories.
YouTube bids goodbye to stories
The Google-owned video-streaming giant YouTube will be ending support for stories starting on June 26. The company aims to direct its attention to other essential features like Shorts, Community Posts, Live Videos, and more. YouTube said in a blog post recently – “Starting on June 26, 2023, the option to create a new YouTube Story will no longer be available. Stories that are already live on that date will expire seven days after they were originally shared,”
Additionally, the company also revealed that the creators will be notified about the shutdown of YouTube Stories via a variety of channels including forum posts, reminders in YouTube Studio, in-app messages and more. While YouTube is bidding farewell to stories, the video platform suggested that both “Community posts and YouTube Shorts are great alternatives that can deliver valuable audience connections and conversations”.
According to the company, creators who wish to share lightweight updates, promote new videos and start conversations with their audience can do so effectively with community posts. However, the restriction of not being able to post videos in the community posts may stick out as a sore thumb.
Besides this, the company also believes that YouTube Shorts is the way to go for users who wish to create short-form content and reach a wider audience. YouTube also shared that shorts drive more subscribers to a creator’s channel than stories. In an oversaturation of stories on various social media channels, getting rid of them from the most prominent video-sharing platform is a surprising move, to say the least.
Elon Musk’s ambitious brain-implant company Neuralink has been under controversy and public scrutiny ever since its inception. The much-talked-about company aims to implant human brains with a chip that can control electronic devices like computers and phones. The concept sounds something straight out of a Black Mirror episode and has been mercilessly trolled on the internet for being dystopian but that did not stop Elon and the company from working on it tirelessly. The company also entered some troubled waters when it was revealed that its animal testing is being needlessly rushed causing irresponsible deaths. Now, after years worth of controversies, Neuralink finally has the green light to begin human clinical trials.
FDA Approves Human Trials for Neuralink
Neuralink took to Twitter and announced that it has gained FDA approval for a first-in-human study. The company wrote – “We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first-in-human clinical study! This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people. Recruitment is not yet open for our clinical trial. We’ll announce more information on this soon!”
Musk’s vision of brain implant chips could cure a number of human conditions such as obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia. The chip implant also aims at enabling web browsing and telepathy. The billionaire had previously made the statement that he was so confident in the device’s safety that he would be willing to implant them into his own children… I say let’s start with him getting chipped first (Maybe he already is?)
Musk has been hyping up Neuralink’s human trials since 2019 but the company only sought FDA approval in early 2022. The agency had previously rejected the approval application pointing out several concerns which needed to be addressed before sanctioning human trials. One of the major issues revolved around the lithium battery of the device and the possibility of the implant’s wiring migrating within the brain. FDA had also challenged the company’s safety of extracting the device without causing any brain damage. It will be interesting to see whether Neuralink’s efforts will come to fruition and the future where getting chipped is as common as getting vaccinated comes to reality but I surely hope for the opposite!
Ever since the pandemic changed the way we communicate with technology, tablets have come to the forefront. In today’s time, we see basically every big tech player come up with their own tablets in order to give into the whole ‘Ecosystem’ trend set by Apple. However, OnePlus was quietly waiting for its time to shine to come up with its very own Tablet which has now made its way to the Indian market simply called the – OnePlus Pad. The first generation of the OnePlus Pad stands impressive when it comes to its design factor, but is that all that it has to offer? We beg to differ.
Design
Starting off with the design of this tablet which in itself is a style statement. This sleek machine comes with an ultra-portable form factor. OnePlus is venturing into the tablet arena for the first time and along with it has brought the 2.5D round-edge unified metal body design which hasn’t been done before. It comes with a small 6.7nm bezel which allows an 88% screen-to-body ratio for an immersive visual experience for the users. There is only one colour variant for this tablet which is called ‘Halo Green’ and is inspired by the natural world. It is an eye catchy colour which demands attention and is guaranteed to make some heads turn. One of the most unique aspects of the OnePlus Pad’s design is its camera placement. The camera here is placed at the centre as opposed to the usual top placement seen in tablets. The camera placement choice can be a hit or miss and breaks away from the staple design standard of the tablet. OnePlus claims that the camera placement saves users the hassle of having to adjust when holding the pad and clicking landscape images.
Performance
Android tablets have historically lagged behind when it comes to performance only with the exception of Samsung and Xiaomi’s premium offerings. The OnePlus Pad joins the league of high-performing tablets as the 4nm Dimensity 9000 processor powers it. Users get two RAM options here with 8 and 12GB variants and 128 or 256GB storage. The UFS3.1 LPDDR5 RAM powers through all your computational needs with ease. The tablet is snappy and smooth thanks to its maxed-out 144Hz refresh rate. It features a large 9510mAh battery which can be juiced up with a 67W SUPERVOOC charger. OnePlus claims that the tablet comes with a one-month standby life and just over 12 hours of video streaming. People should note that the tablet does not come with a standalone SIM card slot but comes with a unique feature known as cellular data sharing. This feature kicks in when the distance between a OnePlus phone and the Pad is around 1 to 5 meters and the Pad by default gains access to the 5G signal of a user’s smartphone. This looks like OnePlus is doubling down to the ‘ecosystem’ aspect with the new launch. The camera system here consists of an 8MP front camera and a 13MP back camera. Both lenses are capable of shooting in only 30 frames per second which can be restricting to some users.
Display
One of the primary reasons why people invest in tablets is to consume content on a larger screen. The OnePlus Pad puts heavy emphasis on entertainment by boasting an 11.61-inch screen and the industry’s first-ever 7:5 screen ratio. The display resolution here is 2800×2000 making it a 2K display. However, it is not an AMOLED screen but an IPS LCD one. As mentioned before, it comes with a 144Hz refresh rate with the capability of toggling between 30, 60, 90 and 120Hz.
Accessories
OnePlus is offering two accessories with the OnePlus Pad namely the OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard and the OnePlus Stylo. Both the accessories are implemented well with the Pad and add-on for a seamless overall tablet experience.
In Comparison
Let’s be honest, the tablet market is saturated right now and people have a lot to choose from. Where the OnePlus Pad stands when it comes to the price point is in direct comparison with the iPad. However, the Xiaomi Pad comes somewhat close to the OnePlus Pad’s performance in the Android arena. However, users will lose out on bigger battery life and the smooth 144Hz display on that one.
Verdict
OnePlus’ first-ever venture into the tablet arena is a triumphant knock out of the park. it‘s got everything you expect from a tablet coupled with some never seen before features which put it in the top spectrum of the tablets available in the market today.
Google Pixel devices have often delivered the best of Android money can buy. Emphasis on the ‘money’ part cause these devices DO NOT come at a cheaper price tag. However, Pixel’s A series phones have been a delight as they bring you all the Android greatness at a considerably cheaper rate. This year around, the Google Pixel 7a undoubtedly brings more value for your money with a higher refresh rate, solid camera setup, and wireless charging. But is that all? Let’s find out –
A Notable Upgrade
Google has definitely built upon the complaints of the Pixel 6a and introduced better features in its latest midrange offering. This time around, we have a higher 90Hz refresh rate and wireless charging which was missing in the Pixel 6a. Now, we understand that the competition offers a 120Hz refresh rate at this price point but we’ve got to give credits where credit is due. Surprisingly, the higher refresh rate is turned off by default in the settings and users need to it on manually. The display is vibrant and watching content on it is a treat for sure. What is new is also the face unlock feature which was missing in the Pixel 6a. There’s also an under-display fingerprint sensor that is snappy and works like a charm.
Moving on, the back of the device is unapologetically plastic but looks and feels premium to hold. The colour variant we’re using is called ‘Charcoal’ with other variants like Sea and Snow available too. It looks similar to the Pixel 7 which could confuse a lot of consumers out there.
Superior Cameras
The camera placement is now similar to the flagship Pixel 7 devices and the sensors here might as well be the best in performance in this price range. The Pixel 7a is capable of clicking some amazing shots with an upgraded 64MP primary lens as compared to the 12.2MP lens in the 6a. The beast of a primary lens is coupled with an ultrawide 13MP lens. In front, we have a 13MP selfie lens which is a winner. The camera setup is capable of clicking some stellar images even in low light conditions which will leave you pleasantly surprised. There’s no telephoto lens here and the device relies solely on digital zoom for its pictures which starts to lose details beyond 3x and 4x. Overall, the camera setup is sweet, capturing crisp images in almost every condition. Check out the samples below –
Inside the hood
The right side of the device features a volume rocker and a lock button which click really well so all of us anxious folks can legit spend their time clicking them, though I wouldn’t advise that. One drawback could be the absence of a dual or hybrid slim slot as it features a single slot. Users can use an e-sim in case they want to use two numbers, but no physical slot for the same.
Where Pixel 7a wins is with its Tensor G2 chipset which is the same chip powering the higher variants – Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. We have 8GB RAM and 128GB Storage. That’s it… No Virtual RAM, no 256GB or 512 GB storage options. Just the simple 128GB Storage – take it or leave it!
Inside the hood, we have a 4385mAh battery running the game which might sound small to people but performs real well in real-time usage. I could easily get through my day with a single charge and moderate usage on the Pixel 7a. However, what’s underwhelming is the 18W charging support which lags way behind the competition and takes too long to charge from single to triple digits. It takes me around 2 hours on average to juice this device up to a 100 which is not ideal in the current scenario where some devices survive a day with just half an hour of charge. While we have wireless charging here it clocks out at 7.5W which Is underwhelming but alright.
Just one concern
Now that we have established that this indeed is one of the best midrange devices available in India right now, Let’s jump on something that does not work with the Pixel 7a. It Heats Up! It heats up to the point where it is noticeable.. On average usage and clicking photos, the device becomes considerably hot on the sides which will alarm the users. Sometimes the device was also noticed getting warm on standby which was surprising. However, it cools down as quickly as it heats up.
Verdict
The Pixel 7a is one of the best midrange devices you can buy right now. It squeezes a premium smartphone experience into a much smaller and cheaper device which genuinely gives the standard Pixel 7 a run for its money. It’s got Google’s premium chipset, and a bigger 90Hz screen. The original Android experience with Google’s homegrown OS and also five years of support. If you’re interested in a no-nonsense device which does not overwhelm you with bloatware and performs wholeheartedly then the Pixel 7a is indeed the one for you. At 43,999 the Pixel 7a is a winner!
When my colleague told me about ChatGPT, I kinda ignored it at first. However, within two weeks, the term went viral and turned out to be a day savour for some, especially for corporate people, content creators, and of course, writers. The AI language model allows you to have human-like conversations and can assist you with last-minute tasks such as composing emails, essays, articles, codes or whatever you could ask for.
Over the last couple of years, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved, and natural language processing has emerged as a crucial aspect of AI. Chatbots have become an essential tool for businesses to communicate with their customers, and OpenAI-backed ChatGPT has played an indispensable role in transforming the way people interact with machines. Let’s understand the role of ChatGPT along with its pros and cons.
Role of ChatGPT in Various Industries:
ChatGPT is a language model that can generate human-like responses to any input. The pre-trained platform is not programmed and works completely on a large corpus of text with a pinpoint set of responses, making it capable of understanding the context of any conversation and generating proper responses. Let’s look at the top 3 industries where ChatGPT is making a significant contribution.
Customer Service:
ChatGPT can become an essential part of customer service for many companies due to its ability to provide 24/7 support and handle large volumes of customer inquiries along with complaints. The AI platform can provide instant responses, resolves simple issues, and escalates more complex problems to human agents.
E-commerce:
ChatGPT can help e-commerce companies increase their sales by providing personalised recommendations to customers. By analysing customer behaviour, the platform offers suggestions for products and services that are likely to be of interest to them. It helps customers to have a great buying experience by answering questions about products and providing support after a purchase.
Healthcare:
ChatGPT can also make its way into the healthcare industry, where it can provide support to patients by answering their questions about medical conditions, medication, and treatments. The platform can also help healthcare professionals by providing up-to-date information on medical research and treatment options.
Pros of ChatGPT:
Efficiency:
ChatGPT is capable of handling multiple conversations simultaneously, which makes it efficient in handling customer queries. It can respond to customer queries 24/7 without any breaks, ensuring customers receive help when needed.
Personalisation:
ChatGPT can provide personalised assistance to customers based on their specific needs. It can analyse previous conversations and understand the context to provide relevant responses.
Scalability:
ChatGPT can be scaled to handle a large number of conversations without any additional resources. It is an excellent tool for businesses that are growing rapidly and need to provide customer support to a large customer base.
Cons of ChatGPT:
Lack of empathy:
ChatGPT does not have emotions, which means it cannot understand the emotional state of a customer. This lack of empathy can sometimes result in inappropriate responses, leading to customer dissatisfaction.
Language limitations:
ChatGPT is only as good as the data it has been trained on. If it has not been trained in a particular language or dialect, it may struggle to understand and generate responses in that language.
Lack of creativity:
ChatGPT can provide inaccurate responses as it generates responses based on the data it has been trained on, which means it may not be able to provide creative solutions to complex problems.
In the early 1980s, a revolution was born. It was not a political one nor a scientific one, but a cultural one. And it arrived in the form of a sleek, portable cassette player called the Walkman. Just saying the name brings back tons of memories, right folks from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s? The little boxy gadget revolutionised how we listen to music in no time, want to know how, come along!
Life before the Walkman
Earlier, back in the 70s, listening to music on the go was a cumbersome experience, as portable cassette players were huge, heavy and required access to electricity or a pair of batteries. No doubt, they were not designed to be carried around, and the quality of the sound was often mediocre at best. Then, in 1979, the Japanese electronics company Sony introduced the Walkman.
The Game-changer
The Walkman was a game-changer, and it quickly became a cultural phenomenon that would forever change the way we interacted with music. It was small, lightweight, and battery-operated, allowing people to take their music with them wherever they went. It was a status symbol, a sign of sophistication, a style element and a symbol of rebellion, a way for young people to express themselves and their individuality.
The Walkman was featured in movies and TV shows, and it became a fixture in popular culture. Besides being a cultural phenomenon, it was also a technological breakthrough that paved the way for the digital music revolution. With a headphone jack, it allowed users to listen to their music in private without disturbing others, and the sound quality was astounding, thanks to the Walkman’s advanced audio technology.
The boxy device inspired a new generation of portable music devices and allowed us to express ourselves and our individuality through the music we listened to. It was the first portable music player that allowed users to take their entire music collection with them, thanks to its capability to play cassette tapes. In the 90s, when CDs started dominating the scene, the Walkman fearlessly evolved to embrace the shiny discs too.
The Impact of Walkman on Pop Culture
The Walkman’s impact on popular culture cannot be overstated, that little gadget was the bee’s knees back in the day. It appeared in movies and TV shows, and it became a fixture in the music industry. The device even influenced the way music was produced, with artists focusing more on creating music that sounded good on a portable device, which ultimately paved the way for the digital music revolution.
The Patrick Bateman Connection
The Walkman was a true legend, it even embraced the silver screen! In the 2000 flick American Psycho, Christian Bale’s character Patrick Bateman was head over heels for his Walkman. He used it to drown out the noise of the world around him and get lost in his twisted thoughts. And let’s face it, even though Bateman was a fictional character, his devotion to the Walkman was oh so real.
The Legacy
The Walkman’s legacy can be seen in the portable music players that came after it. The iPod, introduced by Apple in 2001, was an unofficial descendant of the Walkman. It was called the 21st-Century Walkman, but besides being lightweight and portable, it also had the ability to store thousands of songs. And like the Walkman, the iPod also quickly became a cultural phenomenon, a symbol of style and sophistication.
The legacy of the Walkman lives on, reverberating through the halls of technological progress. Its influence echoes in the portable music players of today, from the rise of MP3 players to the ubiquitous presence of music streaming on our smartphones. The Walkman’s indelible mark on the world of audio entertainment is a testament to its enduring legacy. Wanna experience it, then get one by spending as less as ₹29,990.
So the next time you pop in your earbuds and hit play, take a moment to remember the Walkman. It may have been a simple device, but its impact on popular culture and technology was truly groundbreaking. And if you’re feeling nostalgic, dust off your old Walkman (if you have one) and give it a spin. Who knows, you may just rediscover the magic that made it a cultural icon in the first place.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook has been fined a record whopping €1.2 billion by the Irish regulator for breaching EU data protection rules. The Irish Data Protection recently announced that Meta has violated General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by moving data between Europe and the US. Regulators added that Meta failed to protect European users from having their data used under US law.
Meta fined record €1.2 billion
Meta will now be fined €1.2 billion and also be required to delete the Facebook data or move it back to Europe. This fine is the most EU has levied upon any company under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations. The previous record was held by Amazon. The Jeff Bezos-owned company was fined a hefty €746 million by regulators in Luxembourg. However, the four biggest fines after Amazon have been paid by Meta itself as a part of issues revolving around Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Meta has issued a statement calling the fine ‘unjustified and unnecessary’ adding that it will appeal the ruling. It also stated that there will be immediate disruption to the way Facebook operates. The company has been vocal about how the new limits on data transfer to the US could cause the company to shut down operations in the EU. This could lead to Facebook and Instagram shutting down in Europe entirely.
Meta’s president of global affairs Nick Clegg and chief legal officer Jennifer Newstead said in a statement that the company feels disappointed to have been singled out. The ruling was called unjustified and a dangerous precedent for countless other companies. This marks the third fine imposed on Meta so far just this year in the EU and its fourth in six months. With Meta always being in the news in recent times over company-wide layoffs and budget cuts, the big fine only puts the company down furthermore.
We all have been there… summer rolls around and we feel it is the right time for us to resume our fitness regimes. Our fitness goals take a backseat throughout the year where we simply indulge in pleasing our taste buds as opposed to serving our bodies. I do blame the fad of ‘Summer Beach Bodies’ going around on social media right when summertime hits which triggers the fitness enthusiast inside us and makes us hop on a treadmill. However, we have long based our fitness goals on a mundane regime sticking to simple exercises and diet. What if we could make it a little more indulgent?
This is where wearable fitness tech comes into the picture. Gone are the days when one would get on a running track and simply compete with their own previous records. Now, we can compete with our friends sitting in a different city thanks to fitness communities. The implementation of fitness and technology has become seamless and here’s how one can benefit from wearable tech while achieving their summer fitness goals –
Tracking Physical Activity
One of the primary benefits of wearable tech is its ability to track physical activity. During the summer months, many people spend more time outdoors, and wearable devices can be a great way to monitor their activity levels. By tracking metrics such as steps taken, distance travelled, and calories burned, users can get real-time feedback on their progress and stay motivated to achieve their fitness goals. Personally, I am the happiest when I receive a notification from my fitness watch about the completion of my steps goal for the day.
Monitoring Sleep Quality
Another significant benefit of wearable tech is its ability to monitor and improve sleep quality. Many devices can track sleep duration, as well as the quality of sleep, such as how many times you wake up during the night or how much time you spend in each stage of sleep. By tracking these metrics, users can identify patterns in their sleep behaviour and make adjustments to improve the quality of their rest. Wearable tech is also capable of alerting you to go to sleep earlier to keep up with a healthy sleeping pattern.
Personalized Coaching and Feedback
Wearable tech can also be helpful for providing users with personalized coaching and feedback. Many devices have built-in coaching features that can provide users with tailored advice based on their individual needs and goals. For example, if a user wants to improve their running performance, a wearable device may provide suggestions for how to adjust their running form or cadence to achieve this goal. Additionally, many devices offer reminders and encouragement to help users stay on track with their goals.
Staying Connected and Engaged
Another benefit of wearable tech is its ability to help users stay connected and engaged with their health and fitness journey. Many devices offer social features that allow users to connect with friends and family who are also using wearable tech devices. This can provide a sense of accountability and support, as well as a fun way to compete and motivate each other towards achieving health and fitness goals.
Supporting Overall Health and Well-being
Finally, wearable tech can help support overall health and well-being by providing users with insights into their body’s functions and needs. For example, many devices can track heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs, allowing users to monitor their health and make informed decisions about their fitness and nutrition. Additionally, wearable tech can help users identify areas where they may need to make lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress or improving their posture.
In conclusion, wearable technology can be an incredibly useful tool for achieving summer health and fitness goals. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a beginner looking to improve your fitness level, wearable tech can provide the tools and support you need to achieve your summer health and fitness goals.
