WiQwiic-32: Compact USB-C IoT Board with Eight Qwiic Connectors (Crowdfunding)
Hack The Board’s WiQwiic-32 is a small USB-C IoT development board based on an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module, and equipped with a 1.14-inch LCD and eight Qwiic ports for easy prototyping with compatible modules. It also features a microphone and a buzzer for audio interaction, four buttons, two RGB LEDs, and a power LED. There aren’t any through-holes for GPIO pins, so expansion is only possible through the Qwiic connectors, although you can always add a Qwiic to header converter module if you ever need breadboard-compatible GPIO headers. WiQwiic-32 specifications: Wireless Module â ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 SoC â Espressif Systems ESP32-S3 CPU â Dual-core Tensilica LX7 up to 240 MHz with vector extension for AI/ML workloads RAM â 512KB SRAM Storage â TBD Wireless â WiFi 4 and Bluetooth LE 5 Antenna â PCB antenna Display â 1.14-inch TFT display Audio On-board buzzer Built-in microphone for voice and sound detection USB […]

Google is set to launch illuminated notifications on Pixel devices and a forthcoming laptop.
Google is allegedly developing a new laptop and smartphone under the Pixel brand that will include a “Pixel Glow” light strip, as per code leaks found in Android 17 Beta 4. This function, similar to the light bar of the original Chromebook Pixel, employs LEDs to deliver visual notifications on the backside of the devices. The Pixel Glow may provide hands-free visual signals enhanced by AI, including personalized light animations for alerts. Although the Pixel 11 is anticipated to feature this capability, the real revelation is its possible introduction in laptops, indicating a more integrated Google ecosystem. Nonetheless, considering Google’s track record of phasing out comparable features, the durability of Pixel Glow is still in doubt.
Indications Point to OnePlus Potentially Departing from Europe, But It Hasn’t Been Confirmed Yet
OnePlus, a prominent smartphone producer, might be reducing its activities in Europe following reports of job cuts. A LinkedIn post from a OnePlus Europe staff member implies that the company is reevaluating its involvement in the area. While OnePlus has yet to officially validate these claims, the organization’s recent actions point to a possible change in its global approach.
There have been reports suggesting that OnePlus is assessing its global strategy, potentially withdrawing from significant markets to concentrate more on its Chinese operations. This follows the OnePlus India CEO’s reassurances that there was no cause for concern, only for him to resign soon afterward. A Reddit post brought attention to a now-removed LinkedIn update from a senior community manager at OnePlus Europe, implying the company might be leaving the market.
The employee noted that OnePlus Europe is presently analyzing its regional roadmap and product strategy based on an extensive evaluation of the European market landscape, business performance, and resource distribution. This may signal that OnePlus is slowly retreating from the region.
This development hints that things may not be entirely proceeding as planned for OnePlus this year. Despite the introduction of new devices, several reports indicate that the company might withdraw from particular global markets to place greater emphasis on its China operations. There are also reports suggesting reductions in India, possibly refocusing on mid-range and budget devices.
The scenario illustrates broader difficulties encountered by Android brands, with many experiencing a decline in sales this year due to escalating memory and component prices. In summary, it has not been an optimal year for smartphone manufacturers. OnePlus has been reached for comment, and updates will be shared if new information arises.
