YiFang Digital Unveils New Smartwatch And Wristband Pedometer At CES

As we have stated many times before, this year’s CES is all about the wearables. Just to add to that, here are some new wearable tech pieces to throw into the mix of what’s already been announced so far. A company called YiFang Digital has announced a few pieces of wearable technology that they will begin to offer this year as part of what they are calling their NextONE line of products. Currently there are four products they plan to release and offer that are considered wearable technology, but only two of them compete with the rest of the wearable tech that we’ve seen. The first is a Smartwatch(surprise, surprise) simply titled the NextONE smartwatch, and it’s running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It has Bluetooth 4.0 with low-energy consumption, so that’s how it will be able to communicate with your smartphone. It sports a 1.55 inch display with a resolution of 240×240 pixles, so while there’s not much room here for customization like were used to with Android, that is to be expected because it’s a tiny watch face, it is also similar in size to most of the comparable products already out there or that are in the works. It houses a 290mAh battery inside, which should give you up to 2 days of battery life before you need to give it a charge. When you compare it to some of the competition there are definitely some more flashy offerings, like the Galaxy Gear or the Pebble Steel, but who can argue with a $99 pricetag?

The second device is going to be a wristband Pedometer titled the NextONE Pedometer, and it will be a must have device for those of you that are health nuts, and are looking for a cheaper option in the way of tracking your steps and distance walked or ran. The NextONE Pedometer will track your distance walked or distance ran, as well as track how many calories you’ve burned during your activity. It also tracks the intensity of the activity that you’re doing, as well as lets you synchronize your data and share it to social networks. The NextONE Pedometer also uses Buetooth 4.0 or BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) and will be priced at $39.99. Both the NextONE Smartwatch and the NextONE Pedometer will be available sometime in Q1 says YiFang Digital, so we should see these launch sometime next month or in March perhaps. Let us know what you think about the NextONE line of wearable devices in the comments.

Two of these new smartphone tablet mixes have now been introduced in China. It is the Zenithink ZTPad N6 with a 6-inch display, as well as to the Actwell N7300 with a 5.7-inch display. The latter appears, clearly recognizable as a clone of the Samsung Galaxy Note . Both devices have not too high display resolution.

The Zenithink ZTPad N6 is the first 6-inch device from the house of the Chinese manufacturer. This is driven by a MediaTek MT6577 Phablet processor based on ARM Cortex A9. The dual core processor in this case has a clock speed of 1 GHz. Is a disappointment in this Smartlet certainly the display resolution. While currently namely the trend of Smartlets to Full HD display is the Zenithink ZTPad N6 trips at just 800 x 480 pixels.

Likewise, the more equipment is then rather than smartphone tablet. So 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of flash memory on board are (+ microSD card). The camera on the back triggers the China Phablet with 5 megapixels, while the cam is a simple VGA camera on the front. The operating system is Android 4.0.4 of the party. Also suitable for Zenithink ZTPad N6 GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microUSB and microHDMI used. It is still unclear what the cost Smartlet. According to rumors, the price but less than 200 euros.

The second new Smartlet from China, the Actwell N7300 has also built a rather disappointing display. Although this is 5.7 inches in size, but the resolution is also "only" 1,280 x 720 pixels. The mere sight of the device shows that it is a clone of this device is the Samsung Galaxy Note. Since the instrument is equipped with the device designation N7300, this impression is reinforced. Technically, however, the Actwell N7300 is not to settle in the regions of the model from South Korea.

The N7300 has Actwell namely how well the Zenithink-Smartlet about the dual core processor MediaTek MT6577 as a drive, not a quad-core chip. The Cortex A9 chip with 1 GHz clock speed falls back to a PowerVR SGX531 GPU. In addition, 1 GB RAM and only 4 GB of internal memory are installed (+ microSD card). Furthermore, two cameras with 1.3 and 8 megapixels in Actwell N7300 are built. The operating system is Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean already on board, while the battery with 3,200 mAh is even more powerful than the Galaxy Note. In addition, the N7300 Actwell using GPS, WLAN and Bluetooth. Likewise, this Phablet be used with two SIM cards at the same time. Again, there is no price announcement.
