Lenovo Daydream VR headset passes through FCC

-

  • Lenovo has an upcoming standalone VR headset based on Google's Daydream platform
  • Little is known about the headset, but it looks like it will arrive with a 4,000 mAh battery, Bluetooth 5.0, and Daydream remote
  • The device may be officially revealed at CES 2018 in January

Google's mobile VR initiative, Daydream, may soon have another OEM on board. Thanks to the FCC and LetsGoDigital, we now know that a Lenovo Daydream VR headset is on the way. The headset, which sports model number "Lenovo VR-1541F," is called the "Mirage Solo" and is a standalone device (it doesn't need a smartphone to operate) arriving complete with a Daydream remote.

Unfortunately, we don't have many concrete specifications just yet, but the device is said to feature a 4,000 mAh battery and support Bluetooth 5.0. As of right now, that's all we know. However, given that the device has passed through the FCC it'll probably be here sooner rather than later, and we will have more details to share as they are released. As XDA points out, CES is just around the corner, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the device make an appearance at the trade show.

Oculus Rift gets a last minute holiday price cut to $379, VR game bundles also available

We are now just one week away from Christmas, but many of you might still looking for the perfect gift to give to your favorite PC gamer. The folks at Oculus have made that easier …

Given that HTC's Daydream partnership fell through, and the entry-level price of competitors such as the soon-to-be-released Oculus Go, Lenovo will have to either price similarly if not slightly lower than the Go to remain competitive. The lack of competition in the Daydream market right now isn't helping consumers — headset retails prices aren't being driven down — but the pricing of the Go gives hope for mobile VR enthusiasts.

What are your thoughts on this new headset? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Google Maps tests directions screen with refreshed Material Design, rolls out For You tab to 130 countries

-
Image
With every few updates, Google Maps seems to walk closer and closer to a full-fledged refresh of its Material interface, helping it go along with the new direction Google is taking this year with its app design language. We've seen a new look for the main interface , an updated side menu , overhauled hotel listings , new fonts in many places throughout the app, a persistent Overview/Reviews/Photos bar on some place listings, and even an update to the look of the app on Android Auto . But over the past couple of days, one more part of the app is getting its re-looking session: Directions. For the longest time now, Google Maps has had a blue background behind the from/to directions boxes. The new UI switches that to more white, with dark grey text and icons, and some blue accents for the selected mode of transportation and starting step-by-step guidance. Revamped icons and fonts, a new sliding bottom overlay, and a few other minor things complete the list of changes. ...

Samsung Galaxy J2 Core manual shows a customized Android Go phone

-
Image
Samsung's first Android Go phone – the Galaxy J2 Core – has been making the rounds and causing some confusion. We saw the quad-core CPU of the Exynos 7570 benchmarked and we have some idea about the geographic distribution of its variants. Perhaps its manual can clear some things out. Here's some good news – the back is removable and you can change the battery. Here's some bad news – the USB port looks like a microUSB. The phone is a dual SIM handset with old-school slots, there are no card trays here (and you need to remove the battery to change the SIMs). There's a microSD card slots stacked on top of one of the SIM slots. The big questions was "how much will Samsung customize Android Go?" And the answer seems to be "plenty". The manual doesn't name the Android version, but it shows how to use Galaxy Apps and Smart Switch. Even the homescreen has the usual Samsung looks. But it's definitely an Android Go device as it uses ...
