On the performance end, Redmi Note 10 Pro truly packs a punch with one of the most powerful 4G processors on the market, Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G. Ideal for gamers and streamers alike, the device’s high performance and low power consumption model, paired with an immersive sound system featuring dual speakers, provides an optimal on-the-go viewing experience. Thanks to the 5,020mAh battery and advanced 33W fast charging, users’ time spent powering up will be kept to a minimum.

Price and Availability

Redmi Note 10 Pro comes in two variants — 6GB+128GB for only PHP 12,590 and 8GB+128GB for only PHP 13,590 and will be available on both Mi Authorized Stores and partner retailers including Lazada starting April 24, 2021. Each purchase until May 9 will also give fans three tickets to Melody with Mi, an exclusive digital concert created for this year’s Mi Fan Festival in partnership with ABS-CBN, KTX, and TFC with iconic Pinoy singer Bamboo on May 23. Purchases of PHP 25,000 and above of participating Xiaomi phones and gadgets will not only include tickets to the concert but even includes access to the Meet & Greet and the festive fan After Party!

Redmi Note 10 Pro Mi Fan Festival Special Edition

At this year’s Mi Fan Festival, Xiaomi is also launching Redmi Note 10 Pro MFF Special Edition with the slogan “Explore Infinite Possibilities”, which will serve as a unique MFF souvenir that Mi Fans can take home. The MFF special edition phone represents the adventurous spirit of Xiaomi and seeks to encourage Mi Fans to explore the infinite possibilities in life by connecting Smartphone x AIoT.

To echo the theme of infinity, Redmi Note 10 Pro MFF Special Edition comes in a package with a cosmic-inspired design. The front of the box features an image of astronauts floating through galaxies, representing Xiaomi and Mi Fans exploring the infinite possibilities of life together. The box also contains a Mi Fan Festival postcard featuring an image of Mi Bunny astronauts. The back of the postcard is a Mi Fan Festival theme sticker, which can be stuck onto items such as mobile phones, computers, and suitcases to add an extra touch of Xiaomi to users’ lives. The Gradient Bronze version of Redmi Note 10 Pro in a natural metallic luster color was selected for this year’s Mi Fan Festival, and the exclusive Mi Fan Festival 2021 icon will be printed on the back.

Honda shares insights on its innovative Two-Motor Hybrid System

12/29/2023

Honda has proactively embraced electrification technologies to address the critical challenge of reducing CO2 emissions in its mobility product lineup. Among these technologies, hybrid-electric systems have gained prominence, leading Honda to expand its range of hybrid-electric models.

A hybrid-electric vehicle integrates electric motors with an engine, optimizing fuel economy by efficiently utilizing both power sources. Honda shares that its e:HEV hybrid-electric system combines existing engine and electrification technologies with new advancements, achieving notably high fuel efficiency and an enhanced driving experience.

In the e:HEV system, the electric motor propels the vehicle across the entire speed range, while the internal combustion engine (ICE) engages solely during high-speed cruising. This distinctive approach balances high environmental performance with the unique driving enjoyment characteristic of the e:HEV, an experience not attainable with an ICE-only system.

To maximize the benefits of both motors and engines, the e:HEV system intelligently adapts to different driving conditions. In low- to mid-speed ranges, where electric motors excel, the system operates similarly to a series hybrid. Conversely, during high-speed cruising, where engines perform optimally, the e:HEV functions as a parallel hybrid. This dual-mode strategy sets the e:HEV apart as an intelligent hybrid system exclusive to Honda.

Distinguishing itself from series-parallel hybrid systems, the e:HEV prioritizes efficient motor drive for daily driving situations. It features two distinct modes – EV drive mode and Hybrid drive mode – each offering high-quality motor driving and efficiency without the complexity of intricate power distribution mechanisms.

The two-motor hybrid-electric system, a key component of the e:HEV, comprises a traction motor and a generator motor. These motors efficiently convert engine output into electricity, supply power to the tires, and regenerate electricity during deceleration. The simplicity of this system, without complex mechanisms for mixing battery/engine power or transmission, ensures highly efficient and smooth driving, minimizing frictional losses.

Maintaining high efficiency across varied driving scenarios, the e:HEV intelligently switches between three modes:

1. EV drive mode: During startup acceleration and city driving, the vehicle relies solely on the motor, powered by battery electricity. The engine remains off, providing a smooth, gasoline-free driving experience.

2. Hybrid drive mode: The vehicle operates on the motor using electricity generated by the engine, achieving powerful acceleration with a balanced and linear feel.

3. Engine drive mode: During high-speed cruising, where less driving force is required, the engine drive mode proves more efficient than running the motor at high speed. Directly connecting the engine output to the driveshaft minimizes power loss.

Additionally, the e:HEV employs regenerative braking in EV drive mode, converting kinetic energy into electricity during deceleration or downhill driving, further enhancing its efficiency.

It’s interesting how far car manufacturers have come in terms of minimizing carbon footprint of our vehicles. While the road to 100% electric vehicles is still a far reach, we can at least already see the horizon and the kind of future it holds for a greener mobility solution.
