Pioneer announces three in-dash receivers with support for Android Auto Wireless as well as Apple CarPlay-- the AVIC-W8400NEX, -W6400NEX and -W4400NEX, with connectivity via either wireless or USB.
Being able to handle both Google Assistant and Siri, the receivers allow users to control smart home devices such as home lights, garage doors and thermostats from the car. They also promise to be "the most feature packed receivers offered by Pioneer," with support for back up cameras, navigation and FLAC file playback without need for conversion.
Until recently Gibson Innovations was responsible for sales, marketing and distribution of certain Philips-branded audio and video products and accessories worldwide. These include headphones, Bluetooth speakers, audio playback speakers and DECT cordless phones. TPV (and its TP Vision unit) already held the Philips license for a number of devices, namely TVs, mobile phones, tablets and monitors, outside of N. America.
The transparent FSTN LCD display is similar like the ones used in old electronics and cheap digital watches. It switches off whenever one uses the main smartwatch display, and switches back on whenever the OLED display is switched off. Thus the user always has a means to quickly check the time (and basic information such as heart rate), and they can even switch off most smart features in what Mobvoi calls "Essential Mode."
The Blade 15 features a chassis CNC milled out of a single block of aluminium. It measures 355 x 235 x 16.8mm, weighs around 2kg (depending on configuration) and carries a range of specifications, including 8th Gen an Intel Core i7-8750H (6C/12T with base 2.2GHz and boost of 4.1GHz) CPU and either an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) or GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB) GPU.
