Over the last few days, OnePlus was dropping teasers that seemed like the arrival of a new product. To be more specific, it appeared to be speakers. However, that’s not the case as the brand has announced an AI Music Studio. This is something that nobody would have imagined. The AI music studio is an online tool and as the name suggests utilizes AI technology that allows users to create their own music. Read on to learn more about this ahead. 

OnePlus AI Music Studio: what is it

As mentioned earlier, the OnePlus AI Music Studio allows people to explore their musical talents. As it uses advanced AI technology, the online tool helps users to generate lyrics, music, and music videos with text and other prompts. The platform is a fun tool with an easy-to-use interface. It is not aimed at professional musicians. The interface welcomes with a UI to select from a list of genres (rap, hip-hop, and EDM), moods, and music video themes. 

Users can add text prompts to tell what their song is about. OnePlus doesn’t allow any controversial content or related to political happenings. Once, the generate button is hit, the AI tool translates the prompts into rap lyrics. Users can also regenerate the lyrics if they don’t like the first version. If it’s satisfactory for the user, the platform will create a track with graphics music videos based on the selected theme. 

The OnePlus AI Music Studio also allows users to share their musical creations on social media platforms. They also have the option to download their tracks.

Leaked images reveal redesigned battery for iPhone 16 Pro

By
Rajesh Regmi

An alleged early-stage prototype battery for the iPhone 16 Pro has surfaced online, revealing a modest increase in capacity and a glossy metal shell. 

Shared by Apple collector @KosutamiSan on X/Twiiter, the battery boasts a 3355mAh capacity, a mere 2.5% jump from the iPhone 15 Pro’s 3274mAh battery. However, the current version of the battery reportedly features a frosty metal shell and a redesigned connector, suggesting ongoing refinements.

Earlier this month, the same source mentioned that Apple was testing a graphene thermal system that included a metal shell for the battery.

Despite the minor 2.5% battery capacity increase, the iPhone 16 Pro’s battery life improvement would surpass the iPhone 15 Pro’s 2.3% gain. It would also exceed the 2.3% battery life boost seen in the iPhone 15 Pro Max compared to its predecessor. 

Notably, the iPhone 15 battery capacity increased by 4.6%, and the iPhone 15 Plus saw a 1.4% battery life improvement over the iPhone 14 Plus.

Rumors regarding battery capacity upgrades for the next iPhone iteration are a common occurrence. In July, speculations pointed to an 18% increase for the iPhone 15 battery, 14% for the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro models, and 12% for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, actual battery capacity gains fell short of these predictions.

But that’s not all. OPPO is piling on educational goodies, offering over 200 learning apps, nine years of general medicine studies, textbook access, and a personalized learning graph.

Oppo Pad Air 2 specs:

Set for launch on November 23rd, OPPO’s Pad Air 2 is speculated to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Pad Go. The tablet is anticipated to share strikingly similar specifications with its OnePlus counterpart.

The OPPO Pad Air 2 is expected to boast an expansive 11.35-inch display with a 2.4K resolution, complemented by a smooth 90Hz refresh rate.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro may feature a 120mm Tetraprism telephoto camera

By
Sean
-

While the Apple iPhone 15 series was announced a couple of months ago, there are already various rumors and reports regarding the iPhone 16 lineup. Now, the latest report claims that the iPhone 16 Pro could feature a notable improvement in the photography department.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro could feature a Tetraprism 120mm camera

The Cupertino based giant is expected to bring a camera lens tech that was exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max model to the smaller iPhone 16 Pro. According to known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro will also feature Apple’s tetraprism 120mm telephoto shooter. Kuo adds that the improved tetraprism camera is arriving thanks to improvements in yields for Largan, who is the sole supplier of the tetraprism camera lenses.

iPhone 16 Pro Snapdragon X75 modem

Initially, the periscope lens faced low production yield, but improvements have boosted yields to more than 70 percent. In other words, this camera lens production is more profitable. Thus, Kuo believes that Apple will feature tetraprism technology in the smaller Pro model as well in 2024. This is in line with our previous report that hinted at upgrades in camera technology thanks to adopted molded glass lenses.

The analyst states that Apple and Huawei are projected to be the two fastest growing brands in the global periscope camera smartphone shipments in 2024. Largan is expected to be the primary supplier of periscope lenses for Apple and Huawei. So we can expect the improved camera technology to make its way to the Huawei P70 series. For those unaware, Huawei’s P series are flagship devices that emphasize photography.

Garmin introduces Fenix 7 Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) series in North America

By

-

Garmin quietly launched two additions to its lineup earlier this month – the Fenix 7 Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) and the Fenix 7X Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi). These smartwatches are now available in North America. Both the Fenix 7 Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) and the Fenix 7X Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) models come in a sleek Slate Gray with a Black Band, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the standard versions.

A built-in flashlight with three different case sizes

The watches come in 3 different case sizes – 42mm, 47mm, and 51mm. Both of them offer built-in flashlights to help you in need. And the Fenix 7X Pro (No Wi-Fi) can even last up to 37 days on a single charge.

The Fenix 7 Pro and 7X Pro Solar Edition No Wi-Fi models are very similar to the Wi-Fi-enabled Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Series. That being said, the key difference between them lies in the absence of certain features, including the Outdoor Maps+ subscription-based map content, the ability to directly download TopoActive maps to the wearable, and the ability to stream music via apps like Spotify, Deezer, or Amazon Music.

Notably, the ECG app, which tracks signals related to heartbeats and aids in detecting signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib), is also missing from the No Wi-Fi wearables. Surprisingly, these No Wi-Fi smartwatches are priced similarly to their Wi-Fi-enabled counterparts.

The Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) is now available for $799.99 and CA$1,079.99 in the United States and Canada respectively. The Fenix 7X Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) is available at a retail price of $899.99 and CA$1,219.99. However, the availability of these new models in other regions remains uncertain.

OnePlus Buds 3 spotted on BIS

Back in September, the Chinese smartphone maker’s Buds 3 was first spotted in a leak, which showcased its design via renders and some of its key specifications. Following this, the OnePlus Buds 3 also surfaced on the FCC certification. The FCC listing revealed the schematics and even revealed its battery capacity. The charging case of the OnePlus Buds houses a 520mAh battery pack, while the individual earbuds house a 58mAh battery unit.

Now, the high end earbuds have been spotted on BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), which hints that the Indian launch is near. The BIS database was listed with the model number E509A. Unfortunately, the certification does not reveal any finer details but it does confirm the Indian availability. Based on our earlier report, the Buds 3 will be equipped with a 10.4mm woofer and a 6mm tweet (dual driver setup).

It will retain its in-ear design and offer 48dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The earbuds features IP55 water and dust resistance, while the charging case has an IPX4 protection rating. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, dual connection support, 9 hours of battery life with the earbuds, and a total of 33 hours of audio playback.

Vivo is getting ready for a major launch cycle that will have it unveil various different products. This includes foldable phones, flagship devices, and much more. One of these devices includes the Vivo Pad 3 tablet, and now, a tipster has hinted at one of its key specifications.

Vivo Pad 3 may feature Dimensity 9300

The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the information on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). In the online post, DCS claimed that the upcoming Vivo Pad 3 will be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC. This would mean that the tablet is a high end flagship grade product. It is also the direct successor to the Vivo Pad 2, which was launched with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC earlier this year.

It is worth noting that the Dimensity 9300 is the same chipset that powers the recently unveiled Vivo X100 and X100 Pro smartphones. For those unaware, the X100 series is the Chinese tech giant’s latest flagship devices. Unfortunately, the tipster did not reveal any other finer details regarding the Vivo Pad 3.

The brand is expected to announce the Vivo X100 Ultra model sometime in April 2024. This will be the top end model of the X100 lineup and is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. So there is a chance that the Pad 3 could be announced alongside this device. However, it is unclear if Vivo will announce the tablet along with the X100 Ultra, X Fold 3, and X Flip 2 during the same launch event. So stick around for more updates.
