Noise has just unveiled a brand-new smartwatch that arrives with a familiar look. The ColorFit Ore is its latest wearable model, and it features a design that resembles the Apple Watch. But unlike Apple’s smartwatch, this model is a lot more affordable. So let’s have a look.
Noise ColorFit Ore Specs
The company’s new smartwatch sports a tall 2.1-inch AMOLED display that offers 448 x 368 pixel resolution along with 600 nits of peak brightness. This display is housed in a metal casing and is available in a leather, silicone, and metal band options. This casing also features a functional crown. It features a built-in microphone that enables Bluetooth Calling functionality via Tru Sync support that offers fast pairing and a wide range of up to 18 meters.
On a single full charge, the Noise ColorFit Ore can last for up to 7 days. Although, this falls to just 2 days with Bluetooth calling enabled. Users also get access to alarms, weather updates, and music controls. When paired with the NoiseFit App, you can also get a detailed insight into your sleep cycle as well thanks to the sleep monitoring feature. This launch arrives mere weeks after the company also unveiled the Noise ColorFit Icon 3 Plus, which featured a similar Apple Watch-like design as well.
Noise ColorFit Ore Pricing and Availability
The new smartwatch is listed in multiple variants, the silicone variant includes the Jet Black and Space Blue colors, while the Classic Brown variant is for the leather strap option. The premium metallic bands include the Elite Black and Elite Silver as well. Noise has released the ColorFit Ore on Amazon India for a special launch price of 2,999 INR (roughly 36 US Dollars). The device has yet to kick off sales of this wearable, so stick around for more updates.
In addition, Samsung seems to be readying the next generation of Galaxy Book 5 laptops. Recently, the Galaxy Book 5 Pro was spotted in SiSoftware’s benchmark database, featuring a processor from Intel’s Core Ultra 200 series.
The upcoming Intel processor is expected to be based on the Lunar Lake architecture and is expected to launch later this year. However, looks like the early samples have already reached the laptop manufacturers.
Lunar Lake is expected to introduce a new design for Intel’s CPU featuring four ‘Lion Cove’ performance cores and four ‘Skymont’ efficiency cores. It’s a change from the previous setup of two performance and eight efficiency cores in Meteor Lake U.
In total, the chip will house eight computing cores, and the benchmarks show a base clock speed of 1.6 GHz and a boost clock of 2.8 GHz, although these speeds are likely for early prototypes and will improve in subsequent versions.
Additional specifications of the chip include two 12 MB L3 caches (likely allocated for performance and efficiency cores respectively) and 2.5 MB L2 caches per core. The device will also feature 16 GB of LPDDR5X 8533 RAM.
Intel is also expected to equip Lunar Lake chips with Arc graphics based on the new Xe2 architecture.
According to the benchmark, the Galaxy Book 5 Pro variant will utilize a smaller iGPU configuration with 4 Xe cores, 64 execution units, 512 shaders, and an 8 MB L2 cache. While not as powerful as the top-tier Arc iGPU, it still represents a significant graphics enhancement for laptops.
Due to their high price, Samsung’s foldable phones are out of reach for many consumers. However, rumors are suggesting that Samsung is developing more affordable foldable phones to cater to a wider audience. Tipster Kro recently claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that Samsung could be developing affordable phones, such as the Galaxy Z Fold FE and the Galaxy Z Flip FE. His subsequent posts on X revealed the device’s key specifications. However, he maintains that he will only release one of them. Nevertheless, here is a look at the leaked specs of both phones.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold FE, Galaxy Z Flip FE specifications (leaked)
Galaxy Z Flip 5 / Galaxy Z Fold 5
The Galaxy Z Fold FE and Z Flip FE are both tipped to feature the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip. It’s the same chip that powers the Realme 12 Pro+ and Redmi Note 13 Pro. The leak also suggests that the Fold FE could be available with the Exynos SoC, possibly the Exynos 2200, in some markets.
The Galaxy Z Fold FE is said to have 12 GB and 16 GB RAM options, whereas the Flip variant may come in 8 GB and 12 GB RAM variants. When it comes to storage, both foldables could be available in 256 GB and 512 GB storage sizes.
The Galaxy Z Fold FE is said to have 155.1 x 67.1 x 14.2–15.8mm dimensions in the folded state. In its unfolded state, it will measure 155.1 x 130.1 x 6.3mm. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip FE will measure 84.9 x 71.9 x 15.9–171.mm in the folded state and 165.2 x 71.9 x 6.9mm in the unfolded state.
Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the existence of budget-friendly foldable phones. Furthermore, there is no indication of when the FE foldables might be released. Therefore, it is advisable to approach the leaked information with caution.
It’s almost the end of the working week, but the rumors and news from the tech world are still going strong.
The World’s chip supply seems to be safe, at least for now. TSMC confirmed no major damage to its equipment in its highly advanced chipmaking factories in Taiwan. Brands like NVIDIA further added that they expect no delays in the production schedules of their chips. Users complaining about touch issues after update
Also, if you were excited for the Galaxy S23 Ultra OneUI 6.1 update, a word of caution. Many users are experiencing touch screen issues after the update, with some units missing touches, while others not responding at all.
Samsung’s investigation revealed that it was actually a bug on Google’s end, more specifically, in its Google Discover feed, that was causing the issue.
A temporary workaround is to clear the Google app data in their settings, but Samsung confirms a permanent fix is on the way.
That’s not all for today; here are some of the most interesting news stories from the past 24 hours!

Razer has officially released its most powerful laptop yet, the Razer Blade 18. The laptop was earlier announced before CES 2024. This beast of a machine is designed for gamers, content creators, and anyone who needs the kind of processing muscle typically found in a desktop PC.
The laptop has a 14th Gen Intel i9-14900HX with the RTX 4070 GPU
The Blade 18 boasts a 14th Gen Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, offering 24 cores and 32 threads. This translates to effortless multitasking, allowing users to run even the most demanding applications simultaneously. Paired with this processor is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. This combination ensures smooth performance for high-end games and creative work that relies on powerful graphics processing. The RTX 4070 also features next-generation technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 3 and NVIDIA Reflex, which contribute to stunning visuals and minimize latency in fast-paced games.
The centerpiece of the Blade 18 is its massive 18-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) Mini-LED display. This high-resolution panel utilizes Mini-LED technology to deliver exceptional clarity, rich colors, and deep blacks. Gamers and creative professionals will appreciate the display’s incredibly fast 300Hz refresh rate, ensuring silky smooth visuals for even the quickest on-screen action.
The Blade 18 avoids bottlenecks with 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz memory, ensuring smooth multitasking and system responsiveness.

As covered previously, Samsung Galaxy S23 users are facing an annoyance: their touchscreens become unresponsive after installing the latest One UI 6.1 update. This glitch is messing up the user experience big time, forcing users to tap repeatedly just to get basic functions working. However, Samsung has pointed fingers towards none other than Google.
The company is working closely with Google to squash this bug
Apparently, a bug lurking within the Google Discover Feed app is causing all of this. According to a Samsung press release, the company is working alongside Google to squash this bug and deliver a permanent fix. In the meantime, a temporary solution exists: users can clear the Google app data in their settings. This should restore normal touchscreen functionality, but it’s not the most ideal situation.
While waiting for a permanent solution, it’s worth considering the bigger picture. Software updates are supposed to improve our devices, not introduce problems. This incident is one of those cases where seemingly unrelated apps can trigger unexpected issues, especially when you consider that One UI is Samsung’s default launcher running on Google’s Android. It’s a reminder that close collaboration between tech giants like Samsung and Google is crucial for a smooth user experience.
For Galaxy S23 users, this situation is a minor setback (hopefully). Let’s just hope that a permanent fix arrives soon, restoring the prime touchscreen experience that Galaxy S23 users expect.
Did you ever think we’d be able to order a whole PlayStation and it would be at our doorstep in 10 minutes? Even though this sounds absurd and downright convenient, Indian delivery service Blinkit is leaning into it. The CEO’s latest post on social media platform X announces that customers can now order a PlayStation 5 Slim (both the disc and digital versions), plus their controllers in India from their Blinkit account, and get it delivered to them in 10 minutes. Mind you, this console, at the time of launch wasn’t available anywhere due to scalpers and low stocks. Now we’re reaching the point where the console is accessible and priced justifiably. But what is Blinkit (in case you don’t know about it already)?
The PS5 Slim packs a powerful CPU, RAM, and custom GPU for all gaming needs
Blinkit, an Indian quick-commerce service focused on super fast deliveries, promises to get you your groceries and daily essentials in minutes so you can focus on more important things. They leverage technology and a wide partner network to achieve same-day deliveries, aiming to become a leading e-retail player in India. The company went online in December 2013, and since then, it has gained popularity through their “quick delivery” model that is available throughout the day (and even night in some big cities).
For those who’ve been on the cusp regarding the PlayStation 5 Slim, this might be the golden sign you were looking for. The PlayStation 5 Slim is Sony’s most capable console to date, with the only difference from the OG PS5 being storage space. The console boasts a super-fast SSD for significantly reduced loading times compared to previous consoles. As we mentioned, trade-off is limited storage space, so you might need to expand it with an M.2 SSD or an external drive (though the external drive won’t offer the same speed boost). The PS5 Slim also packs a powerful CPU, RAM, and custom GPU for high-resolution gaming with ray tracing for more realistic lighting effects.
As of now, only customers in Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru can order PlayStations and controllers on Blinkit. At the moment, the company has said nothing about expanding to other cities, but that might happen soon. Stay tuned to Gizmochina for future coverage.

ZPG is also hinting at another device called the Game Bubble, though they haven’t shared much about it yet. The mention of it alongside the A1 Unicorn suggests ZPG is working on expanding its lineup of gaming gear.
For anyone thinking about getting the A1 Unicorn, ZPG suggests waiting for the official launch to make sure you’re getting the real thing. They’re planning to start shipping in mid-May 2024.

Realme recently debuted the Realme 12x 5G smartphone in the Indian market. The brand held a flash sale a few hours after its launch, where it sold like hotcakes with the brand reporting 300 units flying off the shelves every minute. Although the official sale is scheduled to begin on April 8, the brand has decided to host another special sale tomorrow (April 5).
The sale will commence at 12 noon and will go on till 2 PM on Flipkart and Realme.com. During the sale, the 6GB RAM version of the device will have a discount of Rs. 500. The 4GB + 128GB model has a price tag of Rs 10,999, while the 6GB + 128GB model retails for Rs 11,999. Customers can get an additional Rs. 1,000 off using ICICI, SBI, and HDFC bank cards for transactions.
Realme 12x 5G specs:
The Realme 12x 5G comes with a sizable 6.72-inch IPS LCD display offering Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, along with a brightness of 950 nits. It’s also TUV Rheinland certified for reduced blue light emission. Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ SoC, it offers up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
With a 5,000mAh battery, the phone supports 45W wired fast charging. Its camera setup includes a 50-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor, along with an 8-megapixel selfie shooter.

Additionally, it boasts dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res audio tuning.
Xiaomi‘s recent release of the Xiaomi 14 in India has us revisiting the compact flagship space. While the Xiaomi 14 initially seems like a compelling value, it’s important to see how it stacks up against the direct competition, particularly Samsung’s Galaxy S24.
Sure, neither phone is truly “compact” in the classic sense, but with displays hovering just above 6 inches, they’re delightfully manageable by modern standards. They also feature similar specs, though Xiaomi edges ahead in some areas. Notably, the Xiaomi 14 undercuts the Galaxy S24’s starting price of ₹79,999 (~$960) with its own price of ₹69,999 (~$840).
These surface-level differences are just a starting point. The phones become even more distinct when you start to dive deeper into their respective display, designs, and camera arrays. So to make things easier for you, we are comparing some of the more relevant features of Xiaomi 14 and Samsung Galaxy S24 to show you how they stack against each other.
Compact Flagship Smartphones Compared: Xiaomi 14 vs Samsung Galaxy S24
Both Xiaomi and Samsung adhere to established design principles within the flagship realm – glass builds, aluminum frames, and flat displays. Both devices also share an IP68 rating for excellent dust and water resistance.
However, there are meaningful differences you should be aware of. The Galaxy S24 employs the latest Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for front and back protection, while the Xiaomi 14 has first-gen Victus protection only on the front.
Samsung’s focus on compactness is evident with the Galaxy S24 as it has a slightly smaller footprint than the Xiaomi 14 (7.6mm thick, 168g vs. 8.2mm, 193g). So those seeking a more pocketable device may find the S24 more appealing.
2. Xiaomi 14 Edges in Performance and Battery
However, the compact form factor comes at a cost for the Galaxy S24 – a smaller 4000mAh battery compared to the Xiaomi 14’s 4610mAh cell. Additionally, the Xiaomi 14’s 90W wired charging significantly outpaces the Galaxy S24’s 25W solution. Both support wireless charging, with Xiaomi again taking the lead at 50W versus Samsung’s 15W. Xiaomi is also maintaining the consumer-friendly practice of including a charger in the box, unlike Samsung.
In the display department, both phones deliver high-end AMOLED panels with 120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rates. They also support HDR10+ standard, with Xiaomi offering a higher resolution and Dolby Vision compatibility for consuming content.
Despite this, both displays promise vibrant colors and ample outdoor visibility, with Xiaomi claiming a slightly higher peak brightness (3000 nits vs. Samsung’s 2600). But in real-life scenarios, you should be able to see the display’s content easily in outdoors.
When it comes to performance, Xiaomi leverages Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in the 14. While most Galaxy S24 models globally use Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2400 chip.
While benchmarks suggest comparable processing prowess of both the chips, real-world usage shows how these chips handle demanding games, sustained workloads, and thermal management. Historically, Snapdragon chips have often held a slight edge in efficiency and long-term performance consistency.
3. Galaxy S24 Excels in Software Support
Both the Xiaomi 14 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 boast impressive camera arrays on paper. Xiaomi 14 boasts three 50MP sensors (main, ultrawide, telephoto), with OIS on the main and telephoto. Samsung, meanwhile, uses a 50MP main with OIS, 10MP telephoto (also with OIS), and 12MP ultrawide.
However, it’s important to note that more megapixels doesn’t translate into better photos. Computational photography, powered by each phone’s image processing algorithms, will determine the true detail, dynamic range, and color rendition in various lighting scenarios. This is where individual reviews and side-by-side comparisons become vital for discerning potential buyers.
Software experience could also be a big deciding factor for buyers. Though both phones launch with Android 14, their user experiences will diverge significantly thanks to Xiaomi’s HyperOS and Samsung’s One UI 6.1 interfaces.
HyperOS is Xiaomi’s new UI that emphasizes personalization and granular control, while One UI has matured into a more polished and streamlined Android skin with a strong reputation for timely updates.
Samsung also pulls far ahead in the crucial area of software support. The Galaxy S24 comes with a remarkable 7 years of guaranteed updates (up to Android 21), while the Xiaomi 14 will receive 3 years of major Android upgrades and 4 years of security patches. This long-term commitment from Samsung makes the Galaxy S24 a compelling choice for users who prioritize a consistently updated and secure device well into the future.
4. Which to Choose: Xiaomi 14 or Samsung Galaxy S24?
The Xiaomi 14 and Samsung Galaxy S24 are both excellent compact flagships, but which one you should pick depends on your priorities. But here’s what we recommend.
For the most value, choose the Xiaomi 14. It has a bigger battery, significantly faster charging, and a lower price tag. The Galaxy S24 counters with a more compact design, superior long-term software updates, and potentially better camera performance, but you’ll pay extra for these perks.
Nubia recently revealed that it will launch a clamshell foldable smartphone next week. This device officially called Nubia Flip 5G will be unveiled on April 9 in China.
It will be the brand’s first foldable phone. But the product will not be new.
Based on the teasers and leaks, the handset is expected to be a rebranded ZTE Libero Flip. For the unaware, Nubia and Red Magic are subsidiaries of ZTE.
It is currently the most affordable foldable phone on sale at just JPY 63,000 (~$415). The device could be even cheaper in China beating the Motorola Razr 40.
This could start a new trend of budget foldables in the coming years as a couple more (Energizer Ultimate U660S and Blackview Hero 10) are already confirmed to go on sale later this year.
These handsets arrive with downgraded specs compared to those that cost above $1,000. So what kind of specs can we expect from the Nubia Flip 5G? Let’s find out.
The Nubia Flip 5G will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform. This very same chipset is also present inside almost a year-old Motorola Razr 40.
The chip was unveiled about two years ago in May 2022. It is slower than current-gen mid-range chipsets, let alone flagship chips.
It has an octa-core Kryo CPU and Adreno 662 GPU. The CPU consists of 4 x ARM Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and 4 x ARM Cortex-A510 cores run.
Anyways, a chipset alone does not define a product and this one is actually capable enough for normal day-to-day usage.
2. Small Cover Screen
The Nubia Flip 5G will sport a 6.9-inch main vertical foldable display. This centered punch hole panel will offer a resolution of 2790×1188 pixels.
The screen size as well as its resolution match those of premium clamshell foldables. We don’t have info on refresh rate but it will likely be 120Hz.
However, it will feature a small 1.43-inch circular cover screen. This tiny display can only show minimal widgets and can act as a viewfinder for the camera.
A small external display could be a dealbreaker for users who prefer using their foldable without even opening. On the other hand, it is a quality-of-life feature for someone on a digital detox.
3. Single Camera
The Nubia Flip 5G will house a dual camera setup on the rear. But only one of these sensors will be usable and that will be the primary 50MP snapper.
The secondary sensor will be merely a 2MP depth sensor. While on the front, it will sport a 16MP shooter.
Though the cameras are the same as on regular budget smartphones, the hinge can be adjusted between 60-110 degrees to click pictures and shoot videos in creative ways.
4. Decent Battery
The Nubia Flip 5G will be backed by a 4,310mAH battery. That’s respectable for a clamshell foldable which is thin at 7.3mm when unfolded.
The phone will carry support for 33W wired charging but will lack wireless charging support.
