Realme is reportedly working on the Realme GT Neo 6 series of smartphones for the Chinese market.

As can be seen in the above screengrab, the Realme RMX3851’s SDPPI certification listing reveals that it will be called the Realme GT 6 when it debuts in Indonesia.

Apart from SDPPI, the device has also received approval from the FCC and CB Test certification platforms. The former reveals that the Realme GT 6 will run on Realme UI 5.0 and support SuperVOOC fast charging but does not specify its exact charging speed.

Both certifications show that the Realme GT 6 will feature a 2,680mAh (rated value) dual-cell battery. However, the FCC listing also mentions the typical value as 2,750mAh. This suggests that a 5,500mAh dual-cell battery powers the device. As per the FCC certification, the Realme GT 6 measures 162 x 75.1 x 8.6mm and weighs 199 grams.

The RMX3851 device was previously seen on Geekbench and AnTuTu. The listing revealed that it will feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, 16 GB of RAM, and Android 14. On AnTuTu, it was spotted with 1,846,775 points. It has also been certified in India and Europe, indicating that it will be released in multiple markets. 

Reports have revealed that the upcoming Poco F6 will feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. Therefore, it appears that the F6 may face competition from the Realme GT 6 in the global market.

Fresh Google Webpage Hints Towards Apple RCS Arrival for This Fall

We all know that a major change is coming to iPhones soon, with Apple finally announcing support for RCS messaging. This would mean a better experience for everyone, regardless of whether someone is using an iPhone or an Android device. But Google’s new Android webpage seems to point towards exactly when this will happen – The Fall, which could mean anywhere between August and November, possibly even sooner.

RCS brings a lot more to the table than traditional texting

RCS, or Rich Communication Services, is a modern messaging standard that offers a richer and more feature-filled experience compared to traditional texting. It essentially upgrades your texting capabilities to be more on par with what you might be used to with messaging apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

Google RCS

Here’s what RCS brings to the table:

  • Crystal Clear Sharing: Share photos and videos with your contacts without worrying about quality loss. RCS allows for sending larger file sizes, ensuring media arrives looking crisp and clear.
  • Real-time Chat Features: No more wondering if your message went through! RCS offers typing indicators, so you’ll know when your recipient is composing a reply. Plus, you’ll get read receipts, letting you know when your message has been delivered and seen.
  • Enhanced Group Chats: Group chats can often be chaotic with SMS/MMS. RCS basically helps bring order to the madness. It allows for features like group chat names, participant lists, and message threading, making it easier to follow conversations and avoid confusion.

While RCS offers these benefits, it’s important to note that Apple’s messaging app, iMessage, will still exist and be displayed in blue bubbles. RCS messages, on the other hand, will appear in green bubbles. This distinction helps users know if they’re messaging someone within the iMessage ecosystem or using a different platform. Apple clearly doesn’t want to remove the iMessage ecosystem USP from its catalog, and its making sure of this.

Snapchat Now Lets Users Convert their Pets into AI Avatars

Snapchat+ just got a whole lot cuter with the introduction of AI-powered pet Bitmojis. This exclusive feature for subscribers lets users transform their pets into a cartoon avatar that joins the owner on the Snap Map.

Snapchat will only be rolling out this feature for its premium users

Users simply have to snap a picture of the feline or canine companion, and the AI will generate a few different cartoon versions for you to choose from. While you may not have the same level of customization available for your human Bitmoji, the AI should capture the essence of your pet, making them a virtual twin on the Snap Map.

Since its launch in 2022, the subscription service has offered exclusive access to AI-powered experiences like the MyAI assistant, creative camera filters with Dreams, and even AI-generated snaps. More and more companies are putting their AI assistants behind subscriptions, including X (formerly Twitter), but behind those subscriptions are products such as these that users keep paying for. Snapchat has had a pretty good run with its own subscription model so far.

If you’re reading this and you’re not a Snapchat+ subscriber, there’s a fair amount of good news! The app is rolling out some updates for everyone. A new template feature promises to simplify clip editing, while new swipe gestures aim to make sending and editing snaps a breeze. Additionally, you can now upload longer videos – in-app captures can be up to three minutes, and uploads can be as long as five minutes, giving users more creative freedom for Snapchat Stories.

Price Drop Alert: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Now Available at ₹89,999 (~$1080) in India – Should You Buy It?

After the recent launch of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, last year’s flagship, aka the Galaxy S23 Ultra saw some significant price cuts in India, taking its starting price (for the 12GB + 256GB model) down from ₹1,24,999 to around ₹1,00,000 mark (~$1200). That being said, Flipkart is currently offering a massive discount on the S23 Ultra, which is worth considering if you are in the market for a flagship device under ₹1 lakh.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra price drop

As per the Flipkart listing, the Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is currently selling for ₹89,999 (~$1080). In addition to that, there are a bunch of other offers that can be clubbed with the purchase to bring the price even lower. Using a Samsung Axis Bank Signature/Infinite credit card will get you a discount of ₹2500 or ₹5000, respectively. Customers using an HSBC or ICICI Bank Credit Card for the purchase will get up to ₹1,500 off on the purchase (depending on the card).

Why Now is the Best Time to Invest in the Galaxy S23 Ultra:

All that said, is the Galaxy S23 Ultra worth buying over the Galaxy S24 Ultra? At this price, the answer is yes. The Galaxy S24 Ultra for the same configuration costs ₹1,29,999 in India. Hardware-wise, it has a newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, but compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 onboard the S23 Ultra, the margin in performance isn’t that apparent. Camera hardware is also the same on both of these devices, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a larger 50MP sensor for its 5x Periscope camera, which uses optical zoom to take 5x shots, rather than the digital zoom used by the S23 Ultra.

OneUI 6.1

One of the major advantages the Galaxy S24 Ultra has over the S23 Ultra is its exclusive AI-powered features introduced with Samsung’s One UI 6.1. However, that is about to change as the brand has recently announced that these features will be coming to the Galaxy S23 lineup soon. Given this news, it could be a good time to consider purchasing the Galaxy S23 Ultra, saving money while still accessing Samsung’s latest features.

The design of the SU7 is a collaborative effort by a team led by Xiaomi’s Head of Design, Li Tianyuan, who previously worked for BMW. James Qiu, formerly with Mercedes-Benz, also contributed to the car’s exterior design. Xiaomi has secured the expertise of Chris Bangle, a renowned car designer with experience at BMW, Mini, and Rolls Royce, as a consultant for Xiaomi Auto. Bangle is particularly impressed with the SU7’s power and believes it has potential for the European market.

When it comes to driver-assistance systems, Xiaomi offers two options. The Xiaomi Pilot Pro relies on pure vision technology and utilizes an Nvidia Drive Orin chip with 84 Tops of computing power, similar to Tesla’s approach. The Xiaomi Pilot Max system combines pure vision with lidar technology for enhanced capabilities. Additionally, Xiaomi is launching a city-based pilot assisted driving system called City NOA. Testing for this system begins in April across 10 cities, with a nationwide rollout planned for May. City NOA utilizes two Drive Orin chips. The SU7 boasts impressive connectivity features, supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Let’s read about the details of each variant. The base SU7 Standard starts at 215,900 yuan and comes equipped with a 73.6 kWh BYD Blade battery offering a 700 km (435 mi) CLTC range. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5.28 seconds and reach a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). This variant features the Xiaomi Pilot Pro ADAS system and utilizes a 400V architecture. Power comes from a rear-wheel drive (RWD) setup with a 220 kW motor generating 400 Nm of torque.

The SU7 Pro steps up the range with a 94.3 kWh CATL battery, pushing the CLTC range to 830 km (516 mi). This variant is priced at 245,900 yuan, placing it around the same price point as the Tesla Model 3 in China. It upgrades to an 800V architecture for faster charging.

The top-of-the-line SU7 Max boasts a 101 kWh CATL Qilin battery, again offering an 800 km (516 mi) CLTC range. However, the Max boasts an impressive 510 km (317 mi) of range achievable in just 15 minutes of charging. Performance gets a significant boost as well, with a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of a mere 2.78 seconds and a top speed of 265 km/h (165 mph). The Max utilizes the Xiaomi Pilot Max ADAS system and features an 800V architecture for faster charging. This powerhouse employs an all-wheel drive (AWD) setup with dual motors producing a combined output of 495 kW (663 hp) and a staggering 838 Nm of torque.

Xiaomi is more than just making a bold statement in the electric vehicle market. The variety of models caters to different needs and budgets, while the advanced driver-assistance systems and impressive performance figures suggest Xiaomi is ready to take on established players in the industry. The company seems to have thought this through well, and now sales will tell us everything we need to know. Xiaomi also launched a lifestyle brand alongside the SU7.
