Xiaomi Mi’s latest is an electric scooter which can fold in 3 seconds<br />
The Xiaomi Mi electric scooter has been priced at CNY 1999, which is<br />
around Rs 19,500. It will be available in China from <strong>December</strong> 15.<br />
Chinese tech major Xiaomi has launched its Mi electric scooter. The<br />
company has introduced it on MiJia crowdfunding platform. The electric<br />
scooter will be available only in China as of now and it has a very different<br />
foldable design. The scooter has been priced at CNY 1999, which is around<br />
Rs 19,500. It will be available in China from <strong>December</strong> 15. The Xiaomi Mi<br />
electric scooter is said to have been created by using an aircraft-grade<br />
aluminium and weighs 12.5 kilogrammes.<br />
The most interesting and notable feature in the electric scooter is that it<br />
is foldable. Just press a button and, according to the company, the scooter<br />
will fold itself within 3 seconds making it much quicker and easier to store.<br />
The Xiaomi Mi electric scooter reaches a top speed of 25 kilometres per<br />
hour. The device features an LG 1850 Ev-lithium ion battery which has a<br />
capacity of 280Wh and can provide and instantaneous high power of up to<br />
500 watts. The device has a dual braking system. While the back wheel has<br />
a mechanical disc brake, the front wheel has the E-ABS anti-lock system.<br />
There is another interesting feature in the electric scooter which is called<br />
the Kinetic Energy recovery system. This feature converts the kinetic<br />
energy, that is the energy gained from speed to electric energy which<br />
eventually results in better battery life. This is not where the features end.<br />
Xiaomi launched its self-balancing and folding Mi Electric Scooter<br />
The Mi electric scooter is smart and can be ‘friends’ with a smartphone.<br />
Consumers to buy a Mi electric scooter will be able to pair it with an app.<br />
The app is directed towards understanding the cycling habits by reading<br />
the riding speed and battery life among other things.<br />
Google’s amazing new keyboard for iPhone now available for Android<br />
Google Gboard: The new updated keyboard will<br />
have functionalities like an integrated search,<br />
tool for emoji search and a few other shortcuts.<br />
Google’s popular new keyboard called<br />
the Gboard is now available for Android<br />
smartphone users too. This feature was earlier<br />
available only for Apple iOS users. According<br />
to reports in 9to5 Google and Android Police,<br />
Google is updating its Keyboard and will<br />
reportedly add features from the Gboard. The<br />
new updated keyboard will have functionalities<br />
like an integrated search, tool for emoji search<br />
and a few other shortcuts. As of now these are<br />
only available as Android application package<br />
(APK) from the company and does not contain<br />
any details on the release. But reportedly this<br />
will be a part of Google Play Store soon. Android<br />
Police, for now, keeps adding the new features<br />
on the list which are expected.<br />
GBoard is an interesting feature from Google<br />
which surprisingly works better on Apple iOS<br />
devices than on its own Android systems. This<br />
is even more perplexing,as Apple puts limits<br />
Google Gboard: The new updated keyboard will have<br />
functionalities like an integrated search, tool for<br />
emoji search and a few other shortcuts.<br />
on third party applications. Google, however,<br />
had promised the keyboard on Android but it<br />
has been almost half a year. The third-party<br />
keyboard for iOS made Google search engine<br />
a part of the interface which is used most by<br />
the consumer. The keyboard had come to the<br />
iOS following months of development. When<br />
it came, it offered a lot of new features which<br />
were not a part of the iOS keyboard, and that<br />
distinguishing feature became a hit among<br />
Apple device users.<br />
The Google keyboard for iOS used gesture-based<br />
typing. The users could slide their fingers on the<br />
screen and Google could guess related words. A<br />
simple press on the Google logo button would<br />
let users access the famous web search. The<br />
keyboard brought particular buttons for images<br />
and GIF-based searches. These features are<br />
powered by Google’s own image search. Even<br />
visually, Google’s keyboard is different from<br />
the normal Android keyboard. The Android<br />
keyboard does not have text or picture-based<br />
searching.<br />
This keyboard feature was designed to improve<br />
the number of searches on Google’s website on<br />
iOS devices. Google has always had a monopoly<br />
on the online search system, but most of it has<br />
been PC-based, while it struggled a bit with<br />
mobile based search.
