Eyewear II Product Concept
Smart glasses are a symbol of Huawei’s strength in wearables innovation
Smart glasses already becoming increasingly prevalent in our everyday lives, they may soon become an important entry-point for future human-computer interaction. Huawei has always been known for its technological innovation across a diverse range of end products and continues to provide users with smart and convenient experiences in all aspects of life. As not only a stylish accessory for users on the street, but also a vehicle for improved convenience and comfort in communication, the Eyewear II Series marks a new era in which more people will wear smart glasses.
A new category of fashionable smart glasses with GENTLE MONSTER
GENTLE MONSTER, as a leader in fashion trends, culture and technology, aims to provide its consumers with “fresh experiences through visual innovation”. Their designs are bold, using vibrant colour and an infusion of avant-garde elements that are not only visually stunning, but also accentuate the wearer’s personality.
In 2020, Huawei continues its collaboration with GENTLE MONSTER with Eyewear II, adopting a design concept of “Fashion Wear”. For sunglasses and optics in 2020, Huawei has designed new products in the different timeless styles. In terms of functions, Huawei has made full use of its own accumulated technical capabilities to integrate a wealth of functions into the tiny lens frames, ensuring the beautiful and harmonious overall appearance of the glasses.
Classic design with style
For a more comfortable wearing experience, Huawei's R&D engineers have adopted a sophisticated device stacking technology to ensure that the temples are slim enough, and the entire lens body has no buttons or ports, making the design stylish and simple.
The slim temples are also made of titanium plastic, which is less dense and light. The surface is coated with a high-gloss finish, which gives the overall texture a warm and lustrous look, ensuring comfort as well as a sense of tech and style.
Smart Interaction
Easy pairing by a simple pinch
To pair Eyewear II with a device is very straightforward; users can simply place the glasses in their case and press the button on the case. Besides this, Eyewear II supports upgraded gesture controls that let user easily finish pairing by pinching the left temple.
User-friendly notification
Eyewear II glasses play a greeting when the user puts them on for the first time each day. Users also can set the greeting time to be played whenever they like.
In this way, users can enjoy smart interaction through Eyewear II.
Smart connection
Eyewear II makes a step forward in terms of smart experience. After the user puts aside their Eyewear II glasses for a while and put them on again, a window will pop up on the smartphone screen, so the user can check Eyewear II’s battery level with a glance. By tapping on the pop-up window, the user can quickly go to the device’s settings for more details. Furthermore, Eyewear II is equipped with multiple sophisticated sensors that enable smart wearing detection. The music will automatically stop when the glasses are taken off, and resume when the user put them on within 3 minutes, offering uninterrupted music enjoyment.
Convenient gesture control
Eyewear II includes an array of interactive features to improve user experience. By default, double-tapping the left temple will wake up the voice assistant. A double-tap on the right temple can play or pause music, as well as answer or decline a phone call. Users are also able to customise their gesture control according to their own habits.
In addition, Eyewear II supports swiping gestures for users to play the next/previous song and adjust the volume. In this way, they don’t need to pull out their phone but can simply swipe on the left or right temples instead, which is especially convenient when they can’t reach their phone on certain occasions.
Personal Stereo Sound for Personal Music Moments
Enjoy HD stereo with open-fit speakers
Unlike the open design of normal speakers and closed design of earphones, HUAWEI Eyewear II adopts an open-fit design which features an open-fit speaker on the left and right temple. Such design brings the best stereo experience with great sound quality.
Ultra-thin large-amplitude speakers provide immersive sound effects
HUAWEI Eyewear II glasses are equipped with 128mm2 ultra-thin large-amplitude speakers. Compared with the last generation, the amplitude has been increased by 100% to offer wider vocal range, so no matter whether the user wants to listen to music, play games or watch TV, they can enjoy an immersive audio experience.
Reverse sound field technology offers clear and crisp stereo
Privacy is crucial in the advancement of technology. The all-new reverse sound field technology and the leakage hole design on the temples cancels directional sound waves from the sound cavity, effectively reducing sound leakage by up to 12dB. Together with adaptive volume technology, users do not need to worry about whether others can hear what they are listening to, even in quiet environments such as a lift or conference room.
Wireless charging, long-lasting battery life
Powerful battery for a carefree experience
HUAWEI Eyewear II can play music for 5 hours or voice calls for 3.5 hours continuously on a single charge, and its battery life has been increased by more than 40% compared with the previous generation, so it can accompany users for the prolonged use of daily life.
Instant charge with wireless charging case
HUAWEI Eyewear II glasses have no charging port, all the charging and pairing is done within the elegant and stylish glasses case, which features new NFC contactless, wireless fast charging technology. Connect the glasses case to a power supply through a USB-C cable, and then put the glasses into the case to start charging instantly.
High quality audio recording
HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II supports high quality audio recording capabilities[1], that can record sound from roughly 20Hz to 20kHz, fully covering the frequency perceivable by the human ears. When paired with a smartphone to record videos or audio notes, the HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II frees users from the constraints of distance and cables, helping them to easily record sounds. Users can turn on the Eyewear II’s "high quality recording” function in Huawei AI Life App so when the smartphone starts to record a video, the high-quality recording will be activated simultaneously.
Hands free vlogging
Vlogging has become one of the most popular ways of expression on social media. However, when shooting vlogs, smartphone or other equipment with built-in microphone is easily interfered by the distance or environmental noise. If the user is not close to the smartphone or in an environment with complex noise, the audio will be unclear, and the environmental noise will overwhelm the audio.
Find my Glasses
When users can't find their Eyewear II, they can use "Find my Glasses" feature in the HUAWEI AI Life app on a Huawei smartphone running EMUI 11 or above to make the eyewear beep. However, please note that in order to protect user’s hearing, be sure not to activate this function when wearing the eyewear.

After the successful launch event in London in May, Honor has launched its 2nd flagship device of year 2019 as part of Honor 20 Series, mainly the Honor 20 Pro and Honor 20 along with an affordable Honor 20 lite or Honor 20i on June 11 in India at a launch event in Delhi.
Here are full specifications of the device for quick overview of the feature in case anyone missed it earlier.
Please check this link as full specification is quiet a big and will take up entire page here.
Now let’s start the Honor 20 review. This is my detailed personal review about the Honor 20 unit which I received from Honor as a review unit.
Design- Many may feel that Honor 20 design is nothing new, in fact we are seeing this since Honor 8 era but Honor has not stopped its innovation and HONOR 20 takes that trend to the next level with a mirror glass back that creates subtle patterns and highlights that shine and move alongside different lights and is famous for Dynamic Holographic design which really looks incredible and eye catching. With nearly side bezel-less design, very minimal lower bezel and the punch hole camera set up, Honor was able to give us 91.7% screen to body ratio which gives nearly full screen view and best possible viewing experience. Phone really looks premium and can beat up any flagship design even in half price.
Another impressive design of Honor 20 includes a Side-Mounted Fingerprint Sensor. Initially, I was not fan for front mounted FP sensor as I was used to rear FP sensor mainly for unlocking and clicking photos but then gradually started liking the front FP sensor as it is easy to unlock without even lifting the device, found other of clicking pictures. With Honor 20 side-mounted FP scanner, I am getting used to it but gradually started liking it as response is very fast and accurate. I can unlock my phone even before I start counting to get that milli-second feel.
​
Display- Honor 20 is packed with fairly large but in trend screen size of 6.26 inch and offers a full view display, thanks to the Punch hole camera design which enables the nearly full screen display. A FHD+ IPS LCD screen with 2340X1080 resolutions gives a brighter and better display with equally good viewing experience. Display supports the 16.7 M colors and equipped with 412 PPI. Overall, the looks way better than my preview phones majorly due to full view display and accurate positioning of front camera which doesn’t hampers the display or any viewing experience while gaming, watching videos or live streaming etc. Display is bright enough to have a better readability under sunlight at full brightness. If you have automatic brightness enabled or have kept it on half way, you may feel some discomfort only under the direct sunlight and not under the bright condition, but this is same with every IPS panel.
Performance- Well, there is no second thought about the performance that you can get from this device. With Latest flagship Kirin 980 Processor. There is no deny that performance will be optimal for end user but sometimes few things are good on paper but not in real life, but Honor 20 is truly optimized with Magic 2.1 (for some they may refer as EMUI 9.1) and doesn’t lag at all. I have played Asphalt 8 and Fortnite and did not feel any lag or frame drop and games were launching quickly and were able to perform as per the expectation. Yet to test the same with PUBG but don’t think that will have any issue as well as Fortnite game size is huge compared to PUBG. I was able to get constant 30 FPS for Fortnite and waiting for update to support the 60 FPS and similar constant 30 FPS in Asphalt 8 with highest visual quality. So, from gaming perspective, I do not see any challenge and games runs smooth on this device without a problem. From Application launch point of view, apps launches very fast and user do not notice much delay or lag if they have selected the right settings in developer mode and disabled the screen animations. I personally did not face much delay while launching or switching across applications. Also, I noticed one improved in Magic UI 2.1 and Honor 20 that apps remain in memory for longer time but yes, the social media apps refresh immediately they are switched to, from any other app after some time. This was the behavior in default mode and I did not even enable the performance mode. No changes were made to the battery setting for app launch and they all were by default (system selected) except WhatsApp, Tapatalk , XDA and Telegram. So, if you are looking for a device which will give you the optimal performance without hurting your pocket, look no further and can go for Honor 20.
7nm Kirin 980 AI Chipset with Dual-NPU couple with 6 GB of RAM is doing the wonders here and device is one of the best I have used in terms of performance and fluidity.
Battery - Honor 20 comes with 3750 mAh battery with which, I was able to get around easilve over 30 hours of regular usage with multiple social media apps, dual Facebook, messenger, WeChat and WhatsApp and exchange applications which always runs in background and among the top battery consumer for all along with some time on gaming, YouTube, Gmail, Chrome, Skype For Business, Hotstar live streaming etc. still I was able to pass my entire with phone without suffering for battery issue by end of my day and only connect charger the next day (my regular routine as I connect to charge my phone only around at 07.00 AM in the morning and then leave for office). If I don’t play games or live streams, I was able to get around 30+ hours of usage with still around 18-25% left.
On an average I was able to get around 8-9 hours of SOT with my usage pattern.
Honor claims for 50% charging in 30 minutes and in my test this just works fine as I was able to charge 49% in 30 minutes and in random usages, I was still able to charge around 40-43% with Mobile data/Wi-Fi on.
Audio- I personally found that Honor 20’s volume is loud enough to be able to hear at full volume and audio is crispy clear. I used the phone with Honor’s Bluetooth headset and could enjoy the music and movies very well without any problem. There is inbuilt Histen sound effect feature as well which works only with a physically connected headset. Though, since Apples started the norm of removing the audio jack and many others are following the trend, Honor 20 lacks a headphone jack but it comes with a type-C to 3.5 mm jack dongle which you can listed to feel the same traditional way of music on headset and can vary the settings via Histen effect to be able to listen the music in your favorite mode.
Also, Honor 20 come up with 9.1 Virtual Surround feature which you can feel while gaming like Fortnite or others or watching a movie and using the Histen sound effect.
Camera- Honor 20 is equipped 4 camera setup which seems to be a norm in 2019 now and comes with 48 MP Sony IMX586 with F/1.8 aperture, 16 MP Super wide-angle camera with F/2,2 aperture, 2 MP Depth camera and 2 MP Macro camera.
48 MP main camera- it is Sony IMX586 lens and supports AI Ultra clarity mode and AIS. It also supports the AIS super night mode which is cool and in my personal experience which clicking few shots with night mode, I was amazed by the level of details I could see in the pictures.
16 MP Wide angle camera- with F/2.2 aperture and 117-degree super wide angle it really does wonders sometime to capture a larger area in smaller frame. I used 1X, 2X zoom and wide angle and really started liking it for few images where it was necessary to click a relatively bigger area. It also supports the Distortion correction.
2MP Depth assist camera – comes up with F/2l,4 aperture and supports h=in providing the bokeh effect.
2 MP Macro camera- with F/2,4 aperture, it supports a macro photography and gives the optimal results at 4cm distance from object. Results may vary person to person and object to object and light conditions. I got different results with different objects and light condition.
32 MP Selfie camera- I am not a selfie lover so did not explore much but I am sure it does well as I have seen the better results with relatively inferior camera from Honor. I clicked few selfies and was surprised to see the results and details in the image, you can turn off the beauty mode to get more details of object. Come up with F/2.0 aperture it does support the AIS and I really liked few images I clicked even with bit moving objects still the results were good. It supports AIS Super night mode, AI Color mode, AIS and AI mode.
Videos- Rear camera supports up to 4K resolution with EIS and front camera supports up to 1080P recording with EIS. You also get slow motion video with up to 960 FPS.
This review is incomplete if I do not touch the camera part or include camera review here. I am using this device for a week now and only got a couple of days to go out to explore the camera. Probably, I will be posting more images next week when I will be out of town to explore another city and click some memories. Yes, I am breaking up with my old phone and carrying this beauty on my next travel to Europe. As Honor 20 series tagline says #YouDeserveBetter yes, This is the one you deserve and you will not regret. BTW, I am not good at photography, still tried some hands on it this time and I was really happy with the image quality and really loving the camera. I tried all the modes available and Night, Super Macro and Super Slow motion with 32X (960 FPS). I was able to capture few night shots, which I personally feel was better than my expectation (did not used any tripod and taken random images) and I am hoping I will be able to share few more quality clicks next week with all the modes. This was my first phone supporting the wide-angle mode and I really liked it and taken few shots. Not a selfie lover so did not bother my front camera much to click myself.
AS I have clicked more than 500 Images and its difficult to upload all here but have selected around 60 images and you can check here. I am not a photographer and doesn't click great pictures.

Software/UI- EMUI is not new to me, have been using it for years now. Honor 20 comes with Magic UI but there is not much difference in terms of UI and looks. This is my first phone with Magic UI but I have hands on Magic phone, so this was not much change for me. UI looks similar and a familiar one but is optimized on top of Android 9 and hardware and works like a charm. No unexpected slowness or lags noticed and scroll, navigation, options are easily accessible and provides all the required features.
Conclusion- Due to the ongoing situation of Huawei/Honor with US ban, things were shaken up initially but every day we are hearing one or the other positive news. Many of them could be rumors but still there are some trusted sources which give some positive information and who know this ban might end up soon and we see Huawei/Honor back in business again. Even though with such uncertainty, if we see the astonishing sell of Honor 20 series since its launch, it shows the trust of user on the brand and Honor/Huawei has not let down the customers and are providing the updates, coming up with trending features. Overall, in my opinion and usage of Honor 20 till date, even though going through a tough time but yet managed to do well across markets, Phone is incredible with mesmerizing eye catching design, ticking all the boxes to be your preferred phone for camera, performance, design and long lasting battery which supports supercharging and gives you entire day of battery juice with just few minutes or charging. 4 cameras set up is really doing well and gives you incredible image quality with details and color saturation. No compromise on the performance or design either and side mounted fingerprint scanner is a welcome move giving you a new yet a comfortable experience.
Brilliant review enjoyed it
Could you please check does Honor 20 have Dual Band GPS?

As the wireless earphones scene starts to get competitive, companies like Apple and Samsung are launching their version of Bluetooth earphones, complete with a charging case. Among some of the great option on the market right now, Huawei has come out with the Huawei Freebuds 3. This exciting new product has everything you could want from your wireless audio experience, and more. Powered by the Kirin A1 chipset, Huawei aims to build a connected audio life experience.
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 are equipped with Bluetooth 5.1 and are powered by the cutting-edge Kirin A1 chipset. The Kirin A1 is the industry’s first BT/BLE dual-mode chip to be verified by Bluetooth 5.1. With this technology, Huawei is able to deliver a highly integrated 3+1 modular architecture. This includes an advanced Bluetooth processing unit, powerful audio processing unit, ultra-low power consumption App processor and a
separate power management unit. All of this comes together to ensuring an efficient and stable connection experience.
While previous wireless headphones were were limited to a single-channel transmission which was split between the two earpieces, Huawei’s self-developed dual-channel synchronous transmission technology fixes this issue. Now left and right pieces have a direct connection to your smartphone, avoiding the need for one earpiece to push audio to the next. This new dual-channel system results in ultra-low audio latency at only 190ms. This is especially important for keeping sound and audio synced during games and movies. This gives the Freebuds 3 an edge over the AirPods, and will make for a better experience overall.
The new HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 aims to provide you with 20 hours of battery life by including their charging case. While the actual earphones have a battery life of four hours, the included case can charge your Freebuds up to 4 times before your case runs out of juice. When it does, you can charge your Freebuds case via the USB-C port, or you can set it on your wireless charger and take advantage of the quick wireless charging feature.
Share your thoughts on the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 and how you think they'll stack up against the Apple AirPods.
Well, they look the same (ugly that is), so noone will see the difference. Apple users will buy apple, other people will buy what's cheaper, and people who want to hear the sound of music will buy stuff like Bose, Sony, or Sennheiser.
Wonder how the ANC works with them being open, sure hope it's no BS marketing. Last earbuds I used were the bragi dash pro, those still rank first in my book.
I'm using atm Airpods 1. Gen. How do the Freebuds 3 fit compared to Airpods?

I wonder if i need a huaway to use them and the app, or can i simply usd them with any modern android that suports bt 5?
Thread Cleaned.
This thread is for the discussion of Freebuds 3 and not politics.
Kindly stay on topic.
Thanks
SacredDeviL666.
Even with all the technical top of the line the sound seems to be a bit of "meeh" in the reviews I've read. I like them but I prefer a model that keeps surroundings to a minimum.
Sent from a mobile gadget
Being a one plus 7t user, i am looking for a good wireless option. I need good calling mic and iPhone type fit. Rubber one's Never stay in my ears . Any suggestions ? Should i look for apple 2nd gen or go for freebuds 3
I am currently looking for cheap aliexpress options . There are too many models too pick and choose from but the video got me thinking about apple like models
I dont like anything thats apple like becauze it doesnt fit in my ear and to be honest they dont look good. So i decided for next models so far:
my first model was qcy qs1, they r cheap and perfect for going in the wireless headphones world. They r great for start and i still have them, using them in the gym.
My second were galaxy buds but i have had some problems with calls with them and that frustrated me a lot so i sold them.
My next one were b&o beoplay e8. I got them for 200€ used and im super happy with them, so for now im using those and qcy.

I tried it and it is effective to a certain degree. Basically, the lower frequencies are cancelled out, but it does not kill the overall noise like in-canal earbuds, because of the open-fit nature. It definitely reduces ambient noises, but you can still hear people next to you talking. Interestingly, their voices are clearer as the ambient noises are cancelled out.
If you need ANC to silence your world, the Freebuds 3 won't make it. But if you do not like the stuffed feeling of earbuds (I know some people does), yet you need to kill some noise, the Freebuds 3 work.

How is the microphone quality in noisy area? Do other people hear your voice clearly on calls in noisy environments?
Hi everyone, how maybe someone already know, with this freebuds it's impossible(at the moment, I hope in a update....) to close a call in progress. anyone know a way to do it without use everytime the phone(or waiting that is the person on the other side to close it)?
Epic Fail. I just got them and the music doesn't auto pause when removed from the ear on Windows 10 laptop. For comparison my $10 AirPods fake earbuds from AliExpress do that.

Hi
So can someone clarify if you can use only the one earpiece while the other one is in my pocket in its closed case?
Thanks

Yes it can be used in that manner.
Anybody facing this error:
With the airpods (+ p30 pro) when listening to music on spotify and scrolling on the facebook, if enter to read a new of any journal, when i press the back to back again to facebook after reading the new, the music stops? Every time.
I just bought those and i like them very much.
I am not a Huawei phone user, I have a Pixel 3 XL and I was looking for some good on ear buds. I must say that I am a little bit angry for Huawei making some features exclusively for their phones (not even all their phones) like wearing detection and autopause. I understand that that the pop up - fast connect feature depends on the software of the phone, but the wearing detection they can make it available for everyone with the AI app. In the end, I paid the same amount of money for the buds.
Hi, i have freebuds 3 on galaxy note 10 plus. Is there any way to enable pause while taking out one of the buds. Thanks

Huawei Announces HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II: Leading the Way in Smart Audio Fashion

Huawei officially unveiled the next generation of smart glasses in the HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II. Based on their core design philosophy of the seamless fusion of technology with fashion, Huawei’s second-generation smart glasses continue to focus on audio and smart innovation, with a more avant-garde yet comfortable design and a greater wealth of outstanding smart functions to experience. With it, Huawei is forging a unique and iconic smart wear trend for sophisticated fashion-conscious consumers.

The Eyewear II collection is a bold and forward-thinking variation on GENTLE MONSTER’s designs. The Eyewear II draws on GENTLE MONSTER’s design philosophy which is not only visually stunning but also offers a wide range of sunglasses and eyewear options to accentuate the wearer’s personality. Eyewear II was designed using Huawei’s core technologies and acoustic privacy protection features. The semi-open, ultra-thin, large-amplitude speaker effectively cancels out sound leakage and provides the wearer with high-definition stereo sound. The newly upgraded Smart Interaction function turns the glasses into your own personal assistant, which offers not only faster access to information, but also a more intelligent form of interaction, providing consumers with a brand new experience of smart wearable technology.
Fashion and comfort in style
The HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II offers a more comfortable wearing experience. Integrating technologies in a precise manner, the slim temples are made of plastic titanium for lower density and lighter weight. The hinge between the temples and the frame rim is also made of titanium elastic, with increased holding strength to reduce the gripping feeling brought about on the temples. Furthermore, the curved earpiece angle has been increased from the first generation, from 12° to 20°, to achieve a better fit.
Compared to the first generation, Eyewear II features a larger, slimmer, large-amplitude loudspeaker that offers a wider soundstage range for a more immersive sound experience, perfect for listening to music, playing games or watching TV.
Eyewear II also features a unique acoustic privacy design, with one semi-open speaker on each side of the lens temple, which transmits sound directly to the wearer's ear through the directional sound chamber, effectively reducing sound leakage and providing a clearer and more layered stereo experience. Meanwhile, both temples include a leakage hole design that can offset the directional sound waves generated by sound cavities, further reducing sound leakage. Together with adaptive volume technology, Eyewear II can automatically lower the volume based on the ambient sound environment, which ensures the user can hear clearly while minimizing the impact on the people around them.
Smart audio, smart interaction
Eyewear II supports updated smart gesture control. For pairing1, users only need to gently pinch on the left temple. In addition, the voice assistant can be easily activated by a double-tap on the left temple. Eyewear II also supports swiping gestures. To play the next/previous song or adjust the volume, users only need to make a few swipes on the temples without taking out their phones. Equipped with multiple advanced sensors, Eyewear II can intelligently detect wear status2.

Very cool !!!
Awesome
Hello,
Today I bought Huawei gentle Monstersmart glass. I am very impressed. But felt betrayed to know that there is no easy way to off the eye wear not in use.That is when it is taken off from the eyes, it is still connected to the android phone and the audio will be diverted to the glass. To free the phone , we have to off the bluetooth on the phone. It is a very compressome procedure. Actually the glass should be automatically disconnected when it is taken away frrom the head after a specified period. So kindly add this function as early as possible. Otherwise there will be unnc=ecessary draiange of battery as well as to hear the audio from the phone directly is also not possiblle as far the gentle monsteer is nearby.
I hope it will be done as quickly as possible.
Thankig you
Dr.Saidalavi

Huawei officially unveiled the next generation of smart glasses in the HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II. Based on their core design philosophy of the seamless fusion of technology with fashion, Huawei’s second-generation smart glasses continue to focus on audio and smart innovation, with a more avant-garde yet comfortable design and a greater wealth of outstanding smart functions to experience. With it, Huawei is forging a unique and iconic smart wear trend for sophisticated fashion-conscious consumers.
The Eyewear II collection is a bold and forward-thinking variation on GENTLE MONSTER’s designs. The Eyewear II draws on GENTLE MONSTER’s design philosophy which is not only visually stunning but also offers a wide range of sunglasses and eyewear options to accentuate the wearer’s personality. Eyewear II was designed using Huawei’s core technologies and acoustic privacy protection features. The semi-open, ultra-thin, large-amplitude speaker effectively cancels out sound leakage and provides the wearer with high-definition stereo sound. The newly upgraded Smart Interaction function turns the glasses into your own personal assistant, which offers not only faster access to information, but also a more intelligent form of interaction, providing consumers with a brand new experience of smart wearable technology.
Fashion and comfort in style
The HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II offers a more comfortable wearing experience. Integrating technologies in a precise manner, the slim temples are made of plastic titanium for lower density and lighter weight. The hinge between the temples and the frame rim is also made of titanium elastic, with increased holding strength to reduce the gripping feeling brought about on the temples. Furthermore, the curved earpiece angle has been increased from the first generation, from 12° to 20°, to achieve a better fit.
Compared to the first generation, Eyewear II features a larger, slimmer, large-amplitude loudspeaker that offers a wider soundstage range for a more immersive sound experience, perfect for listening to music, playing games or watching TV.
Eyewear II also features a unique acoustic privacy design, with one semi-open speaker on each side of the lens temple, which transmits sound directly to the wearer's ear through the directional sound chamber, effectively reducing sound leakage and providing a clearer and more layered stereo experience. Meanwhile, both temples include a leakage hole design that can offset the directional sound waves generated by sound cavities, further reducing sound leakage. Together with adaptive volume technology, Eyewear II can automatically lower the volume based on the ambient sound environment, which ensures the user can hear clearly while minimizing the impact on the people around them.
Smart audio, smart interaction
Eyewear II supports updated smart gesture control. For pairing1, users only need to gently pinch on the left temple. In addition, the voice assistant can be easily activated by a double-tap on the left temple. Eyewear II also supports swiping gestures. To play the next/previous song or adjust the volume, users only need to make a few swipes on the temples without taking out their phones. Equipped with multiple advanced sensors, Eyewear II can intelligently detect wear status2. For instance, during music playback, Eyewear II will pause when the sensors detect that the user has taken off the glasses, and will resume if the user puts them on again within three minutes.
In addition, Eyewear II makes a step forward in terms of smart experience. After the user puts aside their Eyewear II for a while and put them on again, a window will pop up on the smartphone screen, so the user can check Eyewear II’s battery level with a glance. By tapping on the pop-up window, the user can quickly go to the device’s settings for more details3. Eyewear II plays a greeting when the user puts them on for the first time each day.

I can assure you that you won't be disappointed if you choose Xperia 1 III. I think I don't have to polish the quality, it's a Sony the display is superb as always. Camera is a masterpiece, especially in manual. If you know what you're doing then you shot photos you couldn't with any other and the colours are the most realistic you can get. Performance is outpacing all other phones. I didn't have any lags, hesitation or slowdown ever. Multi-tasking is a killer, doesn't matter how many apps you use simultaneously, apps won't crash. I replaced my Xperia 1 and I didn't regret it. Not to mention that my Xperia 1, Xperia xz premium, xperia z3 still run like new I don't have any pros or cons regarding the other phones you mentioned.

Thank u for the reply. it is helpful
If you're into this kind of bleeding edge device; either way you'll be disappointed, just less with this one I think.
Reasoning: Android is just becoming more like IOS on both the hard and software side.
DRM, lack of sdcard port (why I decided to pick the 1III over the 9P), locking down systems as much as possible.
Funny enough that ain't whats killing the 1III or the 9P, these companies share more source code than most, it's the tiny community which might have made it worth for me to get the S22 Ultra instead.
I did get a terrific deal tho; €888 for a snapdragon 888, how fitting.
I don't know about OnePlus, but my Xperia has a definite "beta" feel that never goes away.
What the Sony really has going for it is:
Fast CPU burst speed launches apps quickly
microSD card for old apps and some apps not from Google Play Store
Solid feel
Stereo speakers and headphone jack
Fast WiFi 6
Quick camera button
Long battery life
Water resistant
Notification LED
Very fast USB connection
Not so good:
Some people have problems with phantom screen and fingerprint touches
Fingerprint reader will false-positive a LOT
Minimal carrier support, if any. Cellular reception is not the best.
Minimal CPU cooling, quick throttling
Dated camera quality, worse camera software
Very "stock" Android, and that's a bad thing for Android 11 and 12. Google's recent work is a dumpster fire.
microSD crippled for recent Google Play Store apps (see previous item)
Several gigabytes of setup shovelware on some models. The downloads have to be cancelled to get started.
Rough software and some bad updates. Can be frustrating to use.
Flashlight is dim
4K screen resolution is restricted to a few uses
The Sony by my experience excellent.
A few sites to confirm this.

Sony Xperia 1 III - TIPA
Xperia 1 III utilises expertise of engineers from Sony’s Alpha cameras. It offers four focal lengths, including the world’s first Variable telephoto lens paired with a Dual PD sensor– reaching up to a focal length of 105mm from 16mm, as well as delivering 12MP and RAW formatted images. Each lens...

Very happy with mine. Been a champ. Learn to yield the camera and you will be trated with excellent images.
Led notification
3.5 connection
12/256 config on the base model + sd-card support
4k FLAT screen - no notch or punch-hole
Great camera hardware - excellent manuel controls - 4k 120fps
Great battery
Stereospeakers with punch and good balance
Also a great looking phone beautifully buildt.
Why open new threads like this always and mess up the entire forum... Even for a single new update if there is only a monthly security update

I've even reached 2,6Gbps download speed once. Sadly, I didn't taka a screenshot
Apart from the dim flashlight, I didn't face any of those issues. This phone really is a beast Can't imagine that I'd buy any other manufacturer's phone.
I had a lot of Flagships in my hands. For 1 year ago a had a s21, s22 , S22 Ultra, Zfold3 , Mi11 Ultra, Mate/P 40 Po... I can easily say that 1||| is not the best at all but...
Beautiful und one hand useful
Camera with a bit of knowledge is the best in the terms of colours and really really to convey the real atmosphere and mood of the scene. Hey this is not a flat and too bright Samsungs way. Other like a hand painted Huawei and Pixel way.
And up to 5 zoom ist the best because ist not so dependent from various constant zoom cameras. It have a variable zoom and this make a lot of difference.
Also is a lot more agile and smooth than Samsung in terms of software.
I have never had a One+ device but with the Chinese i find always annoying flaws.
I don't understand why people are comparing this phone so much with other phones.
The sole reason I bought this phone is because it offers a very unique featureset.
I wanted a fingerprint scanner on the side or back.
Can find lots, but typically only in higher-end models.
I also wanted wireless charging.
Also lots, but typically only in budget models.
I wanted a flat screen, no curved edges.
Removes a lot of phones too.
I preferred a headphone jack and notification LED (if possible).
Removes even more phones.
With all these requirements there is literally no other phone available.
None
I couldn't care less about camera quality, yet I bought it.
Me? I'm happy with it. But unless you want some specific features that only this phone offers I just would not recommend it because it's, imo, WAY too expensive compared to the competition.
You should not buy this phone because you want a "flagship model", you're better off with OP, Samsung, Google or Apple (dare I say it).
I will admit that Sony devices are unicorns, so you can buy it for the hipster factor I guess.

General My OPPO Reno8 in Shimmer Gold Review: Unique and feature packed

Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing well! Here is my review of the Reno8 which I received as part of the ambassadors programme.
My unit is in the Shimmer Gold colour with 256 GB storage. As with my previous review of the FInd X5, all thoughts and opinions are my own

I have been using the Reno8 as my daily phone over the last month's and have been able to test a lot of different scenarios. In this review I'll go through them and point out things that I have liked and also things I didn't in the following segments:
Unboxing
Design and build
Display
Gaming
Charging and battery
Camera and video
Sample photos
Verdict
Unboxing​
Design & build​Personally I absolutely love the new design language of the Reno devices. The sleek squared edges combined with a really incredible looking camera module make for a very premium look.
Each time I pick up the device I am impressed with how cool it looks.
Together with this design and very nice colour in shimmer gold it's definitely eye catching. Especially depending on the angle you hold the phone it's shimmering with a lovely gradient of different hues and colours.
Moving over to the sides on the left there's volume up and down buttons that feel tactile and on the right side a power button with the signature OPPO green detail and a even more tactile feel. On the bottom of the device we can find the speaker/microphone and USB Type-C port.
Overall feel of the phone is great too. It's refined, smooth, easy to handle. The new design makes this experience great. Although, there is one downside which are sadly the vibrations and haptics do not feel very premium. For example when typing the vibration motor is quite loud. However this could be improved upon in a software update making the vibration duration shorter for example.
Display​On the front of the device we have a flat 6.5 AMOLED display which has 90hz refresh rate, a hole punch selfie camera in the left top corner and a relatively large chin with small bezels around.
Colours on the display look vibrant and text is crystal clear. I was really surprised with the quality of the panel and there are no dark corners. I'm glad it's got 90hz as it makes the screen feel much more responsive.
Watching videos on the screen has been a joy. As well as playing games thanks to the smooth response rate.
You can also enjoy OLED features such as Always on Display and Edge lighting for notifications. The display also features a built in under screen fingerprint reader, which has been very fast and reliable when unlocking the device each time. I only wish it was placed slightly further up on the display to make it easier to reach like on the Find X5.
Gaming​The performance of the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 processor paired with the 8GB Ram and massive 256 GB storage made the Reno8 well prepared for enjoying large and graphics demanding games.
During my testing I played a vareity of games ranging from Genshin Impact, Pokemon Unite, Minecraft, and casual games such as Pokemon Go or Pokemon Cafe Remix. Each game did run without issues, and while the graphics could not be maxed out, they were still enjoyable. Also with the addition of 90 Hz on the AMOED display, games could feel smooth and responsive.
Each game was handled well on the device, thanks to the gaming overlay I could always keep the crucial stats in check and adjust the game settings accordingly.
Charging & battery​Unfortunately the Reno8 doesn't have wireless charging but makes up for it with SuperVOOC 80W. Battery charging is insanely fast. It's been incredible to quickly connect the phone to the charger for half an hour and it's already done. In times when you are low on battery and forgot to charge this has been a really good help.
And even with the fast charging: Battery life is very good. It can easily last an entire day and a bit more. All while playing casual games, texting on WhatsApp or Discord, listening to music while on a bike ride with Spotify or watching some videos on YouTube.
Camera & video​The famous photographer Chase Jarvis once said "the best camera is the one that’s with you" and the Reno8 can definetly make this come true in a large variety of situations.
Starting with the main camera:
Featuring a flagship sensor from Sony IMX766, capturing at 50MP. It is capable of taking great photos, which are sharp, have lots of great natural bokeh (blurry backgrounds) and detail.
A small downside I noticed (which I hope can be fixed with software update) is that it can be sometimes a little bit slow with processing the image which makes it not the best for action shots where you want to capture the moment. For example when taking photos of pets, the movement is often still captured making a blurry image.
Other features of the camera are excellent. As the tagline of the Reno suggests, it's the portrait expert. And it really holds true: The portrait mode is stunning and looks very realistic with beautiful bokeh. With a big selection of different styles, my favoruite was with the bokeh background. When analyzing the portrait mode photos, you can see features of the photo which is usually only visible on a real camera lens such as focus falloff. This is where parts of the picture are less blurry at the start and as the background is further away it gets blurrier.
Selfie camera
Taking selfies on the Reno8 has been really fun, especially in portait mode too. Featuring another flagship sensor the Sony IMX709 shooting at a massive 32MP. As you can see from the samples below the selfies are sharp and what you expect from a high quality sensor like the one in the device.
Video camera
You can choose to record up to 4K in video mode, although not every mode supports it. Overall the video quality is good, with very pleasing colours in my opinion and already features some nice software stabilization, which can be enhanced with super steady shot which is especially suited for some more action shots.
When shooting 4K video it is only supported in 1x and 2x using the main 50MP sensor. Switching to ultra wide 0,6x reduces the quality to a supported resolution of 1080p video. Furthermore another limitation of the video camera is that once you start recording, you can not switch between the different lenses. If you start in 0,6x you have to stop the recording to swap to 1x, for example.
AI Highlight Video: it can improve the clarity and also quality of the video especially in low light conditions. The resolution in this mode is maxed out at 1080p but available on all lenses

Verdict​Software experience has been overall very consistent on the Reno8. Currenly using ColorOS 12.1 and coming from the flagship Find X5 I was pleased how well and smooth performing the system was.
All features that I use in everyday were there and never let me down. I can rely on quick app start up times and especially fast installations.
I am excited to see what the latest update brings to the Reno with the announcement of ColorOS 13 I am anticipating the release and new features. Software wise I am very happy with the direction.
The Reno8 is an overall great phone, fit for everything the day can throw at it.
In my opinion OPPO has found a great balance of flagship features at a mid price point. The only complaints I had were very minor, and do not take from the everyday use experience which has been overall very consistent and reliable.
Packed with features, a great camera, and exceptional design the Reno8 is versatile, and comes in at a great price point. The great experience starts from the moment you unbox the phone, and continues on each day as you use and explore new possibilities with it. Be it from changing the way you charge your phone, to taking fantastic photos each day.
I hope you did find my review useful and please do let me know your feedback in the comments below!
