QCY AilyBuds Pro Specifications:

The AilyBuds Pro comes with a semi-in-ear design and optimized weight distribution for comfortable wear. The earbuds weigh about 4 grams each and feature a 50-degree design that distributes pressure evenly on the ear canal.

The earbuds feature “AI Adaptive Audio” that uses a HiFi 5 DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to analyze the ear canal structure and wearing status to compensate for low frequencies and precisely achieve a balanced EQ. This results in richer and more detailed music playback.

It can also generate real-time noise reduction parameters based on the wearing status. Additionally, the earbuds feature adaptive wind noise reduction to minimize wind noise during outdoor activities.

The TWS earbuds also feature a customized high-frequency focusing diaphragm that reduces cavity volume to increase resonance frequency. This results in wider high-frequency bandwidth and brighter, clearer highs.

AilyBuds Pro uses Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless connection. For calls, the earbuds use a dual-ear 6-microphone array with ANC to ensure clear calls even in noisy environments. Additionally, they support simultaneous connection to two devices.

The earbuds also support a low-latency mode of 80ms, which is ideal for gaming. They can be controlled via touch controls, and the QCY app allows for further customization of functions and EQ adjustments.

The earbuds can be controlled through touch gestures as well. Users can play/pause music, answer/hang up calls, skip tracks, activate the voice assistant, and adjust the noise reduction mode.

The QCY AilyBuds Pro offers a long battery life of up to 30 hours with the charging case. The earbuds themselves can last up to 5.5 hours on a single charge with ANC off, and 4 hours with ANC on. The earbuds support fast charging and are IPX5 water-resistant.

Samsung Confirms: One UI 6.1 with Galaxy AI is coming to 2021 and 2022 Flagships!

By

-

Apr 13, 2024

In a surprising turn of events, Samsung has now confirmed that select Galaxy smartphones from 2021 and 2022 will receive the One UI 6.1 update alongside some Galaxy AI features. The news comes after earlier rumors suggested these devices might miss out on the AI functionalities.

There is a caveat, however. The 2021 flagships, including the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3, will gain access to a limited set of AI features.

These features are Google Circle Search and functionality likely referring to Chat Assist, codenamed “Magic Rewrite” in the announcement. Chat Assist allows users to adjust the tone and style of messages through the Samsung Keyboard.

The 2022 flagships, which include the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy Tab S8 series, will however receive a wider range of Galaxy AI features.

Yet, they will miss out on the Instant Slow-mo feature which enables users to slow down videos by long-pressing the screen.

According to a Samsung Korea community moderator, the hardware limitations of the Exynos and Snapdragon chips used in these pre-2023 devices prevent them from supporting Instant Slow-mo.

Here’s a breakdown of the devices receiving One UI 6.1 with Galaxy AI features:

2021 Flagships:
- Galaxy S21 series
- Galaxy Z Fold 3
- Galaxy Z Flip 3 (Limited Features)
2022 Flagships:
- Galaxy S22 series
- Galaxy Z Fold 4
- Galaxy Z Flip 4
- Galaxy Tab S8 series

The update rollout is scheduled for early May, although this timeframe might be specific to the Korean market. Samsung has yet to reveal a detailed global rollout schedule, so users in other regions might see the update arrive later in May or even beyond.

Apr 12, 2024

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 8a, their latest mid-range smartphone, at their upcoming Google I/O event in May. This phone will likely be available shortly after the announcement. Just a few days ago, a couple of pictures of the Pixel 8a surfaced via a leak. Ahead of the device launch, the four colors of the smartphone have been leaked in all their glory.

The four colors are obsidian, mint, porcelain and bay.

As reported by Android Headlines, the colors are Obsidian, Mint, Porcelain, and Bay. The mint is reminiscent of a bright flavor of green, while obsidian and porcelain resemble black and white/off-white colors respectively. The Bay color resembles a blue shade, and its the same one that was spotted in a Google Fi advertisement posted by the company. Two colors definitely have a pastel-like feel to them, and they are a good option for those who want to step out of the ‘black and white’ smartphone shell.

Design-wise, the Pixel 8a appears very similar to its predecessor, the Pixel 8, featuring a matte-textured back and a 6.1-inch FHD+ 90Hz display. Google will likely stick with the Tensor G3 processor found in the Pixel 8 and a 4,500mAh battery for the 8a. The camera setup is also expected to remain unchanged, featuring a 64-megapixel main sensor and a 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor. After all, it’s a budget-segment smartphone (hopefully).

TikTok Tests AI Virtual Influencers for E-commerce Amidst Rising Concerns

By

-

Apr 12, 2024

TikTok is experimenting with AI-powered virtual influencers designed to help merchants promote products. This technology would create a digital celebrity persona for merchants, acting in ads based on scripts and store recommendations. However, the project raises concerns about competition with human creators and potential user backlash.

Internal testing revealed that the AI isn’t ready for replacing human influencers just yet.

According to The Information, internal testing by TikTok revealed the AI is not ready for primetime, generating fewer sales than real influencers. They believe AI will ultimately complement, not replace, human marketing efforts.

Advertisers familiar with the project say it’s in early development with an uncertain launch date. ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, may further refine or even scrap the feature entirely.

This news comes amidst a similar trend on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, where many creators rely on partnerships with established brands for income. This model gained traction after TikTok cancelled its $1 billion USD creator fund subsidy program, leaving some creators feeling financially squeezed.

Looking toward the future rollout of this AI feature, foreign media highlight the need for TikTok to navigate user sentiment carefully. The platform previously rallied users to lobby Congress against a potential ban in the US. Given this delicate situation, TikTok must ensure these AI influencers don’t alienate their human base.

3. Real-World Performance

While benchmarks reveal the raw performance of the SoCs, pushing their capabilities to the limit, real-world performance is what truly matters for most users. Here’s how these chipsets might perform in everyday situations:

Gaming: Since the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 has a faster CPU and GPU, it should translate to smoother gameplay; especially in demanding titles with high frame rates and complex graphics. The 7 Plus Gen 2 will still handle most games well but might struggle on the highest settings.
Everyday Tasks: Both chipsets will handle daily tasks like browsing the web, social media, and messaging with ease. However, the 8s Gen 3 might offer a slight edge in terms of app loading times and multitasking smoothness.
Photography & Videography: Both chipsets support high-resolution cameras, but the 8s Gen 3 can record 8K videos at 30 FPS and 4K video at 120 FPS. The 7+ Gen 2, on the other hand, is limited to 4K recording at 60 FPS.

While the 8s Gen 3 does have more flexibility and better recording options, it’s up to smartphone manufacturers to enable or disable those recording options. Thus, not every phone with the 8s Gen 3 chipset may support recording up to 8K resolution.

4. The Bottom Line: Finding the Right Fit

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is a clear winner in terms of raw performance, making it ideal for power users who prioritize gaming, multitasking, and content creation. However, the flagship level of performance comes at a premium price.

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 offers excellent performance for everyday tasks at a more affordable price point. It’s a great option for users who value affordability and don’t necessarily require top-tier specs.

Ultimately, the best chipset for you depends on your needs and budget. If you’re a casual user, the 7 Plus Gen 2 might suit you perfectly fine. However, if you’re a power user who demands the best performance, the 8s Gen 3 is definitely worth considering despite the higher cost.
