In a dramatic turn of еvеnts, thе board of OpеnAI, thе non-profit rеsеarch company bеhind popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, is rеportеdly in talks to bring back CEO Sam Altman, just two days aftеr firing him. This suddеn shift comеs amid growing turmoil within thе company and prеssurе from invеstors.
Altman’s initial ousting was attributеd to a lack of candor in his communications with thе board. Howеvеr, thе еxact naturе of thе allеgеd communication issuеs rеmains unclеar.
Thе dеcision to firе Altman sparkеd a wavе of rеsignations from sеnior еxеcutivеs, including co-foundеr and prеsidеnt Grеg Brockman and sеvеral high-ranking rеsеarchеrs.
In thе facе of this intеrnal uphеaval, thе OpеnAI board appеars to havе rеconsidеrеd its dеcision. Sourcеs closе to Altman indicatе that thе board is еngagеd in nеgotiations with thе formеr CEO to rеinstatе him to his position.
Altman seeks changes for OpenAI return
Altman, howеvеr, is rеportеdly hеsitant to rеturn without significant changеs to thе company’s govеrnancе structurе.
Thе Vеrgеrеportеd that OpеnAI staff sеt an ultimatum for thе еntirе board to rеsign and allow Sam Altman and Grеg to rеturn by 5 pm PT yеstеrday.
Thе board has alrеady missеd this crucial dеadlinе, by which many OpеnAI еmployееs wеrе sеt to rеsign. If Altman dеparts and launchеs a nеw vеnturе, thеsе еmployееs arе еxpеctеd to follow suit.
Intеrеstingly, Sam Altman postеd a twееt “i lovе thе opеnai tеam so much” еxprеssing his affеction for thе OpеnAI tеam, to which sеvеral OpеnAI mеmbеrs, including nеw Intеrim CEO Mira Murti, rеspondеd with lovе еmojis.
While we do not know the exact meaning of this interaction, it could suggest that Sam and Greg may return to OpenAI. Thе situation rеmains fluid, and anything could happеn as еvеnts unfold.
While almost all the major Chinese smartphone brands are gearing up to launch new flagship phones this year, Oppo seems to be on a different strategy. On Nov. 23, the brand will announce the Reno 11 series, but the Find X7 lineup is unlikely to debut this year. A new leak has revealed when the Find X7 and X7 Pro will be released in the Chinese market.
Find X7, X7 Pro launch timeframe (rumored)
Oppo Find X6 Pro
According to the leaker, flagship phones, such as the Nubia Z60 Ultra, Honor Magic 6 Pro, and Find X7 Pro, will be announced before the Chinese Sprint Festival 2024, which will be held between Feb. 10 and Feb. 17. In another Weibo post, the same tipster has claimed that the Z60 Ultra will be announced in December this year, which suggests that the Honor Magic 6 Pro and Find X7 Pro will be unveiled by January end or early February. This indicates that the X7 lineup will debut earlier than the Find X6 series, which was announced in March of this year.
The Find X7 Pro is expected to feature the upcoming one-inch LYT-900 primary camera, which is said to be a modified version of the IMX989. As per a previous report, the Pro model will feature a 2K 120Hz display, a 32-megapixel front camera, a 50-megapixel (LYT-900) + 50-megapixel (LYT-700, ultrawide) + 50-megapixel (LYT-700, telephoto) triple camera unit, ColorOS 14-based Android 14, and an enhanced rear design.
In related news, the upcoming Reno 11 and Reno 11 Pro will feature the Dimensity 8200 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipsets, respectively. Both phones will have a 120Hz curve-edge display and a telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. It is unclear whether the Reno 11 series will be announced or skipped in the global market. The same applies for the Find X7 series since it the Find X6 lineup remained exclusive to the Chinese market.
Thе Nothing Chats app, an iMеssagе altеrnativе that was launchеd еarliеr this wееk, has bееn rеmovеd from thе Googlе Play Storе. Thе company bеhind thе app, Nothing, initially attributеd thе rеmoval to “sеvеral bugs” that nееdеd to bе fixеd.
We've removed the Nothing Chats beta from the Play Store and will be delaying the launch until further notice to work with Sunbird to fix several bugs.
We apologise for the delay and will do right by our users.
However, a comprehensive technical analysis by security researchers suggests that the app’s removal was likely due to significant security concerns.
‘Nothing Chats’ app pulled from Google Play Store
Kishan Bagaria, Founder of Texts.com, initially raised these concerns on X/Twitter. Later, the Texts.com team also published a detailed blog outlining the app’s vulnerabilities.
Thеir invеstigation rеvеalеd that Sunbird, Nothing’s sеrvicе providеr, had bееn mislеading usеrs about thе еnd-to-еnd еncryption of mеssagеs routеd through its sеrvеrs. Whilе mеssagеs sеnt to Sunbird’s sеrvеrs wеrе еncryptеd, thе JSON Wеb Tokеns (JWT) gеnеratеd by thе sеrvicе wеrе sеnt without any еncryption to anothеr Sunbird sеrvеr, making thеm vulnеrablе to intеrcеption.
Additionally, thе mеssagеs wеrе dеcryptеd and storеd on Sunbird sеrvеrs, lеaving thеm suscеptiblе to unauthorizеd accеss.
Tеxts.com dеmonstratеd this by intеrcеpting thе JWTs еxchangеd bеtwееn two dеvicеs, gaining accеss to thе Firеbasе rеal-timе databasе. Rеsеarchеrs thеn wеrе ablе to intеrcеpt JWT tokеns and accеss usеr information and convеrsations with just 23 linеs of codе.
Whilе thе privacy issues arе dirеctly attributablе to Sunbird, Nothing has drawn criticism for choosing to work with thе company and for downplaying thе sеvеrity of thе situation by labеling it as “bugs.”
With Applе’s rеcеnt announcеmеnt of RCS support, thе Nothing Chats app’s appеal has diminishеd furthеr. Usеrs should еxеrcisе caution whеn logging into third-party sеrvicеs using thеir Applе IDs, еvеn if еncryption is promisеd.

Meizu is gearing up to announce the Meizu 21 series of smartphones in China. The company has been teasing the standard Meizu 21 for the past few days, because of which it is unclear whether the brand will announce the Meizu 21 Pro alongside it. In a new Weibo post, the company confirmed that it will reveal the launch date of the Meizu 21 tomorrow. In addition, the leaker Digital Chat Station has tipped the price of the device.
Meizu 21 price (expected)
As evident from the Weibo post above by Shen Ziu, Meizu Group Chairman and CEO, the company is set to announce the launch date of the Meizu 21 tomorrow. Although the official price of the device has not been confirmed, pre-orders have been open in China since Nov. 15. Meizu has disclosed that pre-orders for the Meizu 21 have already exceeded 100,000 units, indicating significant anticipation for the device in the Chinese market.
Regarding the price, the tipster Digital Chat Station has suggested that the Meizu 21 is expected to be priced at approximately 4,000 Yuan (~$555). This pricing places it in direct competition with other smartphones in its category, such as the Xiaomi 14 series, iQOO 12 series, and the Vivo X100 lineup, all of which start at 3,999 Yuan.
The Meizu 21 is confirmed to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and a 6.55-inch Samsung AMOLED display, which probably supports an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The flat display of the device is confirmed to feature ultra-thin 1.74mm bezels on all four sides. It may pack a 4,800mAh battery that supports 80W charging. According to reports, its rear camera setup will have an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel primary camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto camera. The back panel of the device is also said to be equipped with an RGB-LED flash.
Nubia is gearing up to launch two Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones in China. The Red Magic 9 Pro series features the new chip later this week, whereas the Z60 Ultra is expected to debut in December. In a recent leak, tipster Digital Chat Station disclosed certain camera features and reiterated the expected launch timeframe for the ZTE Z60 Ultra.
Nubia Z60 Ultra to feature top-notch cameras
Alleged Nubia Z60 Ultra (right) with 1-inch 35mm camera leaked
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Nubia Z60 Ultra is reported to feature an under-display front camera and a 35mm camera. Notably, even the ultra-wide-angle camera has been upgraded to the top configuration, with sensor specifications currently considered the largest in the industry. It is also said to support optical image stabilization (OIS).
The tipster added that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered flagship will be unveiled in December. In a newer Weibo post, the tipster shared the above image, which he had already released back in August. He said that the prototype device shown on the right, which appears to be the Z60 Ultra, has a very prominent protrusion.
In August, the tipster claimed that the device is equipped with a 1-inch Sony IMX989 35mm primary camera. However, the tipster has claimed that Nubia has not yet incorporated the IMX989 35mm sensor in the Z60 Ultra. Hence, it is unclear which primary camera will be available on the device.
The detailed specifications of the Z60 Ultra haven’t been leaked yet, but a recent Geekbench listing revealed that it will arrive with 12 GB RAM and Android 14. In terms of market positioning, it is set to rival the likes of the Xiaomi 14 Pro, iQOO 12 Pro, Vivo X100 Pro, OnePlus 12, Realme GT 5 Pro, Meizu 21 series, Oppo Find X7 Pro, and Honor Magic 6 Pro in the Chinese market. Except for the X100 Pro, which has the Dimensity 9300 chip, all other flagship phones are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
CukTech has launched a new 65W Gallium Nitride (GaN) fast charger with model AD653C. The charger is now available for 99 yuan ($13) on Chinese e-commerce platforms. Let’s delve into the key specs of this charger.
CukTech 65W GaN Charger Key Features:
The AD653C charger stands out with its compact design, measuring approximately 53×53.9x28mm. It features a classic gray exterior and is constructed with V0-grade fire-resistant material, ensuring safety and durability. The charger comes with foldable plug pins, which enhance its portability, making it an ideal travel companion.
The CukTech GaN charger boasts a 48% reduction in size compared to Apple’s 67W charger, highlighting the efficiency of GaN technology. It features two USB-C ports (65W and 33W output) and one USB-A port (22.5W), enabling simultaneous charging of up to three devices. When all ports are in use, the total output capacity is 45W + 5V3A.
This charger is especially effective for quick charging, capable of charging a Xiaomi 14 phone to about 80% in just 20 minutes, iPhone 15 Pro Max to approx 56% in 30 minutes, Samsung S23 Ultra to approximately 68% in 30 minutes, and a MacBook Air to about 55% in 30 minutes.
Safety is a key aspect of the CukTech GaN charger. It includes multiple protection features like overvoltage, input overcurrent, output overcurrent, short circuit, and over-temperature protection. Additionally, it incorporates temperature monitoring and Adapt Charge technology, adapting to various digital devices for optimized charging.
The charger is compatible with a wide range of fast charging protocols, such as PPS, QC, PD, FCP, and SCP. This makes it suitable for many popular brands like Huawei, Apple, Samsung, OPPO, and Vivo. It also comes with an 18-month warranty, assuring customers of its quality and reliability.
On November 30, 2023, Tesla is set to unveil its long-awaited Cybertruck. This event, held in Austin, Texas, marks a significant milestone for the electric vehicle (EV) giant. But there’s a twist: only 10 of these futuristic trucks may be handed over to customers, a revelation that might dampen the spirits of the nearly two million reservation holders.
This news might come as a blow to the spirits of millions of customers
Tesla’s global product design director, Javier Verdura, hinted at this limited delivery during a speech in Mexico. Verdura’s words, while exciting, serve as a reminder to manage expectations. It’s a significant point, especially when considering Tesla’s history of delivery patterns. For example, the Model 3′s launch in 2017 involved just 30 cars, all given to employees.
This cautious approach isn’t new for Tesla. Elon Musk, the company’s CEO, has openly acknowledged the challenges with the Cybertruck, notably its unique stainless-steel body that’s tough to manufacture at large scale. He has advised stakeholders to temper their hopes, predicting significant, positive cash flow from the Cybertruck could be 18 months away.
Tesla has a reputation for overcoming production hurdles, and this situation may be no different. However, the revelation about the Cybertruck’s limited initial deliveries serves as a reality check. It highlights the often complex and unpredictable nature of launching a new, awaited product.
We live in a world where city life is becoming increasingly cramped. In such regions, the Benno 46er has emerged as a game changer in urban mobility. This compact cargo e-bike, born in Berlin, Germany, is a fresh take on how we navigate our city streets. Unlike traditional vehicles, the Benno 46er is designed for the everyday urbanite, providing a solution that’s both practical and eco-friendly.
We are witnessing an increasing trend of new E-bikes in Europe and Asia
The rise of electric cargo bikes like the Benno 46er reflects a growing trend in Europe and Asia, where space is at a premium. It’s not just about getting from point A to point B; it’s about doing so efficiently and sustainably. The Benno 46er’s compact size makes it perfect for weaving through city traffic, while its cargo capacity is surprisingly ample, rivaling that of a small car.
Powered by a robust Bosch motor, the 46er promises speed and reliability. It comes with a 500-watt-hour InTube battery, ensuring a long range between charges. This makes it an ideal choice for those longer urban commutes or even a quick trip to the grocery store.

According to the leaker, the 1-inch OmniVision OV50K sensor is equipped with a new technology called LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) which will tackle a common challenge in smartphone photography – overexposure in bright scenes.
When you click a picture, the camera sensor captures light which is converted into electrical signals. These signals are then combined to form the final image.
However, in bright scenes, the sensor can be overwhelmed by an excessive amount of light, leading to overexposure and a loss of detail. LOFIC will address this issue by effectively managing the excess light, ensuring that photos retain their integrity even in high-brightness conditions.
DCS added that the OV50K will also be able to compete against Sony’s 1-inch IMX989 sensor.
Honor Magic 6 is also expected to feature satellite communication and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. More details about the Honor Magic 6 series are expected to come out in the coming days.
Tecno is reportedly working on a successor to its Phantom V Fold, the company’s first foldable smartphone launched earlier this year. The forthcoming device was discovered through an IMEI database entry.
The IMEI listing reveals the foldable’s name, Phantom V2 Fold, and its model number, AE10. Specific details about the Tecno Phantom V2 Fold’s specifications are scarce at the moment.
To get an idea of what to expect from the Phantom V2 Fold, let’s take a look at the original Phantom V Fold.
The Tecno Phantom V Fold boasts a 7.85-inch AMOLED LPTO foldable display with a 2K+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an 8:7 aspect ratio.
Tecno Phantom V Fold
Unfolded, the display measures a 6.42-inch which is still an AMOLED panel, with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 21:9 aspect ratio. The device runs on Android 13 OS and HiOS 13 Fold UI.
In terms of cameras, the Phantom V Fold sports a 32-megapixel front-facing camera and a 16-megapixel camera on the foldable screen.
Its rear camera setup comprises a 50-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

Microsoft is adding new capabilities to the Windows Photos app, such as the ability to instantly remove backgrounds from images. Version 2023.11110.8002.0 of the Photos app for Windows is currently available to Windows Insiders and enhances several aspects of the current experience.
The main attraction here is background removal, which was brought to Microsoft Paint a few weeks ago and is now available in Windows Photos. Windows Photos has the same one-click automated background removal feature as other photo editing programs.
Background Remove and Replace
The generated photos may be saved or copied to the clipboard, and the backdrop can be changed to a solid colour. Most of the time, the results won’t be flawless, but it’s always a good idea to have as many features as possible in Microsoft programs that are pre-configured for common daily chores like browsing the internet or viewing images.
Microsoft Updates Windows Photos app with Background Remover and Replace
Using a solid colour in place of the chosen backdrop is an additional choice. To choose the appropriate colour, use the colour picker. You may specify the RGB values, click on the palette, or input a hex colour code.
Microsoft Updates Windows Photos app with Background Remover and Replace
Filmstrip
Windows has also redesigned the Filmstrap. Now, each photo has a Filmstrip of thumbnails at the bottom that you can use to quickly examine other images in the same folder and quickly choose numerous images for inspection and comparison. Your suggestions have led us to revamp the Filmstrip user experience:
Filmstrip is turned off when opening a photo, by default.
To turn on Filmstrip, you must press the “F” key or click on the icon in the bottom left corner.
To enable the best viewing experience and improve usability, Microsoft has moved the Filmstrip below the photo, enlarged the thumbnails, and added a larger scrollbar at the bottom so it’s easier to navigate and select the photo you’re looking for.
Filmstrip has been redesigned in the latest Microsoft Windows Photos app Update
Timeline Scrollbar
To make it easier for you to find the photo you’re searching for, the latest Windows introduced the Timeline Scrollbar to all folders and made it dynamically based on the time range of your photo collection.

Share Individual Photos with OneDrive
Another feature that Windows implemented is the option to share a OneDrive-backed photo. All you have to do is right-click an image and choose Share, Using OneDrive. The URL can be copied to the clipboard or sent via email.

Note: You must Update to version 2023.11110.8002.0 or higher for the Photos app to gain these new capabilities. Through all available routes, Windows Insiders are receiving this update.
App sideloading, which affects both Apple and Google, has become rather popular in recent years. While Android has long accepted third-party programs and app shops, Apple is being compelled to make the shift. Certainly, Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai provided testimony on the company’s alleged practice of suppressing competition by charging app developers a premium in the legal dispute with Epic Games.
Later, Sundar Pichai clarified that to safeguard consumers from viruses and jeopardise their security, Google forbids sideloading programs on Android phones. He also highlighted, pointing to Android’s bigger and foldable phone designs, how Google’s principles allow for choice and creativity.
It’s intriguing to hear Pichai discuss sideloading, which Android has always embraced as an open-source platform. It is evident from the fact that he discusses viruses while installing programs from other app shops that the business is attempting to incite fear in the public. In reality, it has only begun to use the Play Protect function to examine Android apps that are sideloaded.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai Warns Android Users Not to Sideload Apps
Conclusion
It has been noted by many that Google will have more control over the apps that users may download. Although the business asserts that Play Store applications provide the highest level of protection for customers, a recent Kaspersky security study showed that 600 million malicious app downloads were recorded in 2023 alone from Google’s apps store.
Apple has long opposed the ability to sideload programs as it will not have any control over how or from where these apps are loaded on the iPhone, other than Pichai’s plea for safety.
The CEO is now echoing the sentiments which imply that the two digital behemoths are cognizant of the thirty per cent fee that each receives from developers who host their programmes on their own app stores. It makes sense that companies like Epic Games have chosen to host their software on a website instead of distributing it via app stores.
Samsung seems to be working on another fitness band that will likely debut in 2024. According to the source, the Galaxy Fit 3 appears to have a bigger display than its previous generation, the Galaxy Fit 2. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 pictures display the whole design of the smart band in addition to the colour variations that will be offered.
The Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 has a big rectangular screen with thin bezels. Because the screen is bigger, we can expect more faces on the upcoming Galaxy Fit 2. On the right edge, there’s a tactile button and a microphone. The button serves as the on/off switch.
The Huawei Watch Fit, which functions as both a smartwatch and fitness tracker, shares a similar appearance. Wearing the fitness tracker for extended periods of time won’t hurt because of its boxy shape and rounded corners.
Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 RendersSamsung Galaxy Fit 3 RendersSamsung Galaxy Fit 3 RendersSamsung Galaxy Fit 3 RendersSamsung Galaxy Fit 3 RendersSamsung Galaxy Fit 3 RendersSamsung Galaxy Fit 3 RendersSamsung Galaxy Fit 3 Renders
The silicone straps of the Fit 3 are supposed to be changeable. You may get the option to choose a strap that matches your style. Even though we can’t see it, the smartwatch may have a charging connection at the bottom. Moreover, the Galaxy Fit 3 will be available in Grey, Gold, and Black colors.
Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 Specifications (Rumored)
Samsung has been emphasising the integration of health and fitness into a significant portion of its ecosystem since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Galaxy Watch collection will be expanded with the release of the Galaxy Fit 3. It is said to have blood pressure, sleep, and heart rate monitoring. It cannot make or receive phone calls since it lacks a microphone and a loudspeaker.
The Watch is also reported to feature a 1.1-inch always-on AMOLED display with 5ATM water-resistant rating. Like with its predecessor, we anticipate that you will be able to control the watch using the Galaxy wearables app, which allows you to alter watch faces, set alarms, and access Find My Tracker.
According to reports, the fitness band may feature a 200 mAh battery capacity, which is 41 mAh much more than the previous generation. It is likely to have a 5W charging.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any further information about the specification as of now. But, we would love to see if the fitness band features GPS technology.
Huawei, the popular Chinese smartphone company, is making a comeback in the market despite facing sanctions from the US.

Category-wise, it has taken the crown for the best Bokeh and Photos (Main camera performance for capturing still images in various light environments) categories. Here’s a more comprehensive breakdown of its overall performance.
Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ DxOMark test overview
The Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ earns high marks in its DxOMark camera review which makes it great for all kinds of photos and videos in different lighting. Particularly impressive is its capability to deliver outstanding results for Friends & Family photos, ensuring the capture of moments with precision and accurate rendering of skin tones, even in challenging conditions.
The camera’s variable aperture is a noteworthy feature, automatically adjusting to the number of people in the scene, ensuring everyone remains in focus. The ultrawide camera excels in capturing expansive scenes while maintaining a high level of detail. Additionally, the camera performs admirably across all zoom distances, delivering a commendable level of detail. However, it does exhibit slight limitations in capturing videos in challenging low-light conditions, showing some visible constraints in such scenarios.
