LG’s OLED monitor warranty Now Covers Burn-In Effects for Normal Usage

By
Sudhanshu
-

Great news for LG OLED PC monitor owners and those considering purchasing an OLED monitor! LG has just announced that their standard two-year warranty for monitors will now also cover any burn-in effects that have occurred or might occur in the future from normal usage.

LG OLED Flex

As per LG’s statement, everyday uses like desktop applications and gaming fall under “normal” usage. If a scenario arises where burn-in, such as the Windows taskbar, a program icon, or in-game HUD elements, becomes permanent and regular automatic cleaning or maintenance methods no longer resolve the issue, you are entitled to receive repair or replacement under the provided warranty duration.

LG previously had a policy of excluding burn-in from their OLED monitor warranty, but the company has now reversed this decision. Currently, the brand covers OLED burn-in in the US and regions of the EU. That being said, this policy change does not apply to their OLED TVs.

LG OLED Flex

This policy change is likely to encourage more gamers to go for OLED gaming monitors rather than IPS or VA panels. As we know, OLED screens are better than IPS and VA screens in a few big ways. One cool thing is that OLED screens can show really dark blacks and very lively colors because they can turn off each individual pixel. This makes them look way better than IPS or VA screens that aren’t capable of doing this. Also, OLED screens look good even if you’re looking from the side. So, if you’re watching with friends or family, the picture still looks great. OLED screens are great for gaming and applications where smooth motion is important because they have fast response times. They also have a wider range of colors than IPS or VA screens, which makes the visual content more dynamic and lifelike.

The competition in the electric vehicle market is going strong. But when we look at the market shares, there’s an interesting picture. Despite having over a hundred years of history and industry experience, European and American car giants are lagging behind newer companies like Tesla and BYD in the EV market. Traditional companies are struggling to catch up. Still, Mercedes seems eager to lead this change. The much-awaited 2025 Mercedes CLA EV has been seen. Here are the details…

Mercedes CLA EV to Reveal Concept at Munich Motor Show, Aims for 400-Mile Range

Mercedes-Benz is expanding its product range. Recent spy photos have revealed the company’s next big project, the first all-electric CLA-Class sedan. Like all spy photos, the car was heavily camouflaged. Still, we can get some ideas about it. For example, the front end features a wide grille with a Mercedes-Benz star emblem in the center, flanked by slim headlights.

The side profile is similar to the current CLA-Class, with a sloping roofline and a coupe-like silhouette. The rear end features a sloping trunk lid and slim taillights. Also in the highly anticipated model is its lack of exhaust pipes, which confirms again that it’s fully electric. The vehicle is probably going to be built on Mercedes’ new MMA platform. This platform is made for hybrid and electric cars. Many new Mercedes cars will use this platform in the next few years.

Mercedes has not yet released any official details about the CLA EV, but it’s expected to have a range of around 400 miles (644 km). It’s also likely to be offered in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The CLA EV is expected to be unveiled later this year, and it’s likely to go on sale in early 2024. However, it is expected to be revealed this September at the International Motor Show in Munich and it will compete against a growing number of electric luxury sedans, including the Tesla Model 3, the Audi e-tron GT, and the Porsche Taycan.

Oppo A38 nearing launch as it clears SIRIM and NBTC certifications

By

-

Oppo seems to be working on two new A series smartphones. The Oppo A38 and A18 were recently spotted on TDRA. Now, the former has bagged Malaysia’s SIRIM and Indonesia’s NBTC certification, hinting we might soon get a new mid-ranger. Both listings don’t reveal anything interesting but we do know a thing or two based on the moniker.

OPPO A38 smartphone appeared on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification website with the model number, CPH2579. The handset with the same model number was spotted on the NBTC website. Previous listings have revealed the device will support 4G connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. It will run ColorOS 13.1 based on Android 13 out of the box.

It could pack a 4880mAh battery, which is likely to be marketed as 5000mAh. Oppo A38 is expected to be a budget smartphone with just enough specifications. Currently, there’s no official confirmation from the brand but we can expect the device to launch in the coming months.

Judging by the name, Oppo A38 will be the successor to last year’s Oppo 36. That device debuted as a budget offering with a Snapdragon 680 SoC under the hood. It sports a 6.56-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 1612 x 720 pixels (HD+), a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. Fueling the smartphone is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging.

It features a dual camera setup on the rear that consists of 13 MP (wide) + 2 MP (depth). For clicking selfies, you get a single 8MP shooter. Oppo A38 might feature some improvements over its predecessor. So, you may see a better camera setup and probably a new chipset.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra camera, processor, battery specs tipped

By
Soumyakanti
-

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S24 series early next year, likely in January or February. Anticipation for this series is growing as leaks begin to surface. A reliable tipster Yogesh Brar has shared some key specifications for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra on platform X (formerly Twitter), shedding light on its potential features.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra key specs (rumored):

Camera Setup:

Brar hints that the S24 Ultra will feature similar quad-camera setup like its predecessor S23 Ultra. This includes a primary 200MP camera, accompanied by a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 10MP periscope telephoto lens. Additionally, a 12MP front camera is also expected.

Processor:

S24 Ultra might run on either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or the Exynos 2400 chipsets. A previous report suggests that the Exynos 2400 processor is expected in European and Southeast Asian regions, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor version might be offered in American markets.

Samsung-Exynos

Previous models like the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra only used the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. However, the upcoming Galaxy S23 FE might be available in two versions: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200.

Battery:

Brar suggests a 5000mAh battery for the S24 Ultra, similar to its predecessor. While it may support a 45W fast charge, there’s talk about using electric vehicle battery technology. If true, this could boost the fast charge capacity up to 65W.

Design:

The design might not see a significant overhaul. It’s said to resemble the S23 Ultra but might swap the aluminum frame for a sturdier titanium one.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Display

Display:

There have been whispers about notable display enhancements for the S24 Ultra. A leak from another tipster, Ice Universe, suggests the phone could feature an upgraded M13 OLED screen. This might offer brighter visuals, possibly reaching 2000 nits, and better energy efficiency.

While more details will likely emerge as the launch date approaches, these initial leaks provide an exciting glimpse into the capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Stay tuned for further updates as the tech world eagerly awaits this anticipated release.

X, Formerly Twitter, Rolls Out New “Highlights” Tab for Paid Users

By

-

Twitter is going through a fascinating change. For example, after Elon Musk bought it, the platform made several controversial decisions and the platform is now called “X”. This move might sees as a thrown away that almost 20 years of brand reputation. Even though there are constant criticisms, Musk doesn’t plan on stopping. Thankfully, not all his decisions are extreme, some of them is good. Now paid users get a new tab to showcase their posts with “Highlights” tab. Here are the details…

Paid X (Twitter) users can now showcase their best tweets with new “Highlights” tab

As you know, Twitter launched a subscription service called Blue not long ago. Nowadays, this service is also known as X Premium. For a monthly or yearly fee, you get various benefits. Some of the perks include more ads, the ability to edit tweets, and even a share of Twitter’s ad revenue. Now, there’s a new feature called the “Highlights” tab.

Twitter is a platform where new content always stands out. However, users have wanted a way to highlight important or popular tweets for a long time. The company introduced “pinned tweets” a few years ago. With this, users could display any tweet at the top of their profile, no matter its date. Still, this wasn’t enough for many people. The “Highlights” tab might be the solution they’re looking for.

The ‘Highlights’ tab lets paid members show their best posts to followers. It’s great for artists, writers, and reporters, or for sharing about a special topic or event. To use it, paid members tap the three dots on a post and pick “Add to Highlights”. They can decide where to put the post in the Highlights. In addition to the Highlights tab, X has also made TweetDeck a subscriber-only product. This is another move by the company to get more people to pay for its premium service.

Recently Vivo officially teased the launch of a new V-series smartphone in India. The upcoming offering is already confirmed to be the Vivo V29e. It will arrive as the successor to the V23e that debuted in February last year. Notably, the brand had skipped the E moniker in the V25 and V27 series smartphones in the country. Ahead of the official launch, Vivo has started revealing details of the V29e in the form of teasers on Twitter. The brand has also put up a dedicated microsite of the device on its official website. 

Vivo V29e key specs teased along with pricing

Vivo is yet to reveal the exact launch date of the V29e smartphone in India. Considering that the brand has started sharing teasers, we can expect it to debut in the coming weeks. Additionally, the device is confirmed to be available from Flipkart as the e-commerce platform has also put up a microsite. 

As per the microsites, the Vivo V29e has a dual-toned back panel where the left side has a glossy finish with subtle geometrical shapes and the other half seems to have a leather texture. There are two camera rings accentuated in the Gold color at the top left of the back panel. The device is confirmed to feature color-changing rear panel technology that is said to transition rich hues to more captivating glamor. The Vivo microsite shows the Maroon colored back panel changing to Black. However, this will only be available on the Artistic Red variant and not the Artistic Blue model. 

On the front, the Vivo V29e is confirmed to sport a center-aligned punch-hole 3D display with a 58.7-degree curvature. It will also feature a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is touted to be the slimmest phone with a 3D curved screen in the Rs 25,000-30,000 price segment. We expect this pricing to be for the base configuration. The smartphone has a slim profile measuring just 0.757mm thin. 

The Vivo V29e is teased to feature a 50MP selfie camera with eye autofocus technology for clear and detailed shots. The smartphone is confirmed to have a 64MP primary rear camera with OIS support for stable and brighter photos at night.

Narwal J4, J4 Lite robot vacuum and mop models launched in China

By

-

Narwal has introduced two robot vacuum and mop models, the J4 and J4 Lite. The J4 is the flagship model, priced at 4299 yuan ($589), while the J4 Lite is more affordable at 3299 yuan ($452). The Narwal J4 robot is available in two versions: a manual water tank version and an automatic water supply version.

Narwal J4 Robot Vacuum

Narwal J4 and J4 Lite Robot Vacuum key features:

One problem many users have with robot vacuums is the struggle with hair getting tangled. The J4 has tackled this by using a strong suction of 7800Pa and a special U-pipe air system. Its roller brush can easily remove hair, making it great for households with pets or long-haired members. It has passed tests showing it can pick up almost all the hair and leaves no hair behind on the brush.

Narwal J4 Robot Vacuum

Mopping is another key feature of the J4. It can adjust its pressure based on the floor type to clean well without harming the floor. If the mop pad gets very dirty, the robot can clean it by itself. It has a unique dirt detection system to ensure thorough cleaning. The J4 also introduces a new kind of dustbin which combines with the filter. This helps dry out the waste quickly and reduces bacteria growth. Plus, there’s no need to transfer trash, which avoids extra mess.

The base station of the J4 vacuum cleaner is loaded with features. It can wash the mop cloth, refill water, add detergent, and dry the cloth with hot air. It can even clean itself. The robot can be controlled through an app where you can specify rooms and add furniture details.

Mapping is crucial for these robots. The J4 uses the IPS4.0 Whale Sense Perception System with three lasers to measure space and avoid obstacles efficiently. It also can remember dirty areas and clean them multiple times if needed. Edges and corners get special attention too. For carpets, the J4 can adjust its suction and avoid long carpets.

The J4 Lite, though cheaper, still has a strong 6800Pa suction and can handle hair well. Its dustbin can hold up to 1L and has an integrated filter.

Although nowadays, smartphone cameras are good enough for most people, professionals still prefer to use regular cameras. Despite being high-end products, even the iPhone 14 Pro Max is not favored by professionals due to the problems it causes under heavy usage. This is where manufacturers like Sony step in. The company, with significant experience in the field, is set to release products like the A7C II and A7cR. Recently, the design of the Sony A7C II was leaked. Now, some features of both models have been revealed. Here are the details…

Sony A7cII and A7cR: Everything We Know So Far

Sony is rumored to be releasing two new cameras in the A7c series, the A7cII and the A7cR. According to a video from Andrea Pizzini Photography, the two cameras will have a number of similarities, but also some key differences. Both cameras are rumored to have the same autofocus system as the A7rV, as well as 5-axis stabilization and 10fps continuous shooting. They will also both have a 2,36 million dot EVF. However, the A7cII will have a fixed LCD screen, while the A7cR will have a fully articulating screen.

  • Same LCD screen of the A7IV (so not the 4d fully articulating screen of the A7rV)

A prototype of the highly-anticipated upgraded Tesla Model 3 (2023), internally referred to as the “Highland” version, was recently photographed on a road in Xinjiang, China. The model was earlier spotted on a highway in California.

Tesla Model 3 Project Highland expected to start production in September

The vehicle, wrapped in black fabric to conceal its design, aligns with the pattern of camouflage often seen on pre-production models. The sighting has fueled speculation that Tesla might start production in September and initiate deliveries as early as October.

The prototype likely originated from Tesla’s Giga Shanghai production facility, and the road test covered a distance of approximately 2,000 to 2,500 miles from Shanghai to Xinjiang.

This enhanced Model 3 has been developed to strengthen Tesla’s position in the competitive Chinese automotive market. The upcoming model boasts noticeable improvements in both its interior and exterior design.

Sources indicate that the new iteration is slightly longer, lending it a more dynamic appearance. Subtle yet distinct changes, such as the revised front bumper and headlights, have been captured in leaked images. Notably, the vehicle will incorporate Tesla’s advanced Hardware 4.0, enhancing its capabilities for autonomous driving, alongside a sleeker interior design.

While details about the powertrain and battery specifics remain undisclosed, rumors point to the potential use of the 66 kWh M3P battery from CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd.), possibly featuring lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry. If accurate, this could translate to improved affordability, safety, and extended range capabilities for the new Model 3.

Yakbike cargo e-trike with an electronic drivetrain unveiled

The Yakbike cargo e-trike has been unveiled and it sports an innovative drivetrain setup. The Yakbike cargo e-trike omits the traditional chain or belt drivetrain found on most e-bikes for an electronic one.

Yakbike e-trike

The Yakbike e-trike is manufactured by the Swiss company Schematic and its crankset is placed directly in line with its flat-front cargo bed. The stability of the Yakbike e-trike is boosted by allowing its front to lean into corners while its rear end remains upright. The Yakbike’s stepless electronic drivetrain avoids the difficulties of incorporating the innovations with a traditional drivetrain.

In terms of operation, the stepless electronic drivetrain is designed to draw power from the rider’s pedaling of the machine. The rider’s pedaling effect spins up a generator that charges the battery. The battery then provides power for the dual 250W rear hub motors. Schematic says the design of the Yakbike is similar to the Free Drive system.

Yakbike cargo e-trike

Each of the Yakbike’s motors delivers up to 170Nm of torque and the e-trike has a top speed of 25km/h. The 48V 5,200Wh lithium-ion battery of the Yakbike delivers a range of 80km on a single charge. The range is further extended to 150km when a second battery is added. The trike’s regenerative braking system also helps to extend its range. The Yakbike also comes with hydraulic disc brakes, LED lighting, and a throttle mode useful when pushing the trike or starting after a stop.

The Yakbike cargo e-trike is available with different cargo modules for extended functionality. It weighs 70kg and can carry a maximum payload of 350kg. The Yakbike e-trike has a starting price of 9,990 Swiss Francs (~$11,371) for the base model with a pickup truck design. Other cargo options include an organic waste bin, a trash bin, and a large Yakbox delivery box.
