The Amazon Prime Day sale is just around the corner with the promotional event expected to bring great deals on various products. One such deal includes the Apple iPhone 14, which is set to get a major discount. So here are all the details.
Apple iPhone 14 to start from Rs 66,499 during Amazon Prime Day Sale
As per the official Amazon India listing, the iPhone 14 model will be sold for as low as 66,499 INR in the country. This price tag includes all of the deals for the 128GB internal storage option. The discounted price includes bank offers, with ICICI Bank Debit and Credit cards and SBI cards offering a 10 percent discount. Just last month, we also reported on the Apple Sale Days promotional event where the cost of the device fell to its then-lowest 67,999 INR.
So the Amazon Prime Day Sale will have the flagship smartphone sell for its lowest price tag ever. Apart from the base model, Amazon teased that the series as a whole is getting new deals and discounts. Meaning, the iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max models will also be selling for lowered prices. Unfortunately, the exact pricing details for these higher-end models are still unclear.
Talking about the device itself, the iPhone 14 sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina OLED display. This panel offers 1,200 nits of peak brightness, 2,532 x 1,170px resolution, HDR10, and Dolby Vision support. Under the hood, it is equipped with the A15 Bionic chipset, which is paired with 6GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. The rear packs a 12-megapixel dual camera setup, while the front also houses a 12-megapixel selfie shooter.
We are 10 days into July and Samsung has started to push this month’s security patch to eligible devices. As usual, the latest Galaxy S23 flagships were one of the first to pick up the update in the US last week. Now, the company has started to expand the availability of the July 2023 security update in other regions, starting with Europe. It brings a number of security and bug fixes to the Galaxy S23 series. Here are the details.
Galaxy S23 phones get security fixes with the new update
As reported by Sammobile, the Galaxy S23 units in Europe have started to receive the July 2023 security patch. The software update is said to be available throughout the old continent with version number S91xBXXS3AWF7. The security patch comes packed in a 429.68MB size and apparently fixes over 90 security flaws found in the previous version. It should make it to other regions in the coming days.
It seems the update does not bring any major features or improvements. It shouldn’t be surprising since it was only last month when Samsung released a “super” camera update for the S23 series, which addresses night mode, and autofocus among other issues.
Samsung Galaxy S23 users in Europe should be getting an OTA notification for the update. If not, they can head to Settings and Software Update and tap Download and Install to install the update on their phones.
The Korean company may also allow S23 users to test the new One UI 6 based on Android 14 very soon. Reports suggest the beta program for the software will commence in less than a month, presumably before the Unpacked event scheduled on July 26.

Last month, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed Apple’s product roadmap for the rest of this year and the first half of 2024. He added that two new iMacs will be coming this year and a 32-inch iMac is also reportedly in development. Now, Gurman has revealed some more details about the iMacs. Read on to learn more about the story below.
Apple working on new iMacs
Apple’s iMacs are quite popular due to their minimalistic design with an all-in-one setup. However, there is only one model that is available and it is already aging. It is the 24-inch iMac from 2021 that is powered by the dated M1 processor. It hasn’t been long since Apple already discontinued the 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro.
In the latest development, Gurman reveals that Apple is working on more powerful versions of the iMac. These will include the current 24-inch iMac with the M3 chipset making it a significant upgrade over the M1 variant. The other iMac is said to be even more powerful with a larger 32-inch screen. It is said to be similar to Apple’s Pro Display XDR and feature an IPS LCD panel with a 6K resolution and 10-bit colors. Both M3-powered iMacs are reported to leverage TSMC’s 3nm process instead of the current 5nm process offering better performance and power efficiency.
The 24-inch iMac was supposed to arrive in the second half of this year, however, it is now predicted to debut early next year. The wait gets even longer for the 32-inch iMac with Gurman saying that it could arrive in late 2024 or even in 2025. He added that the design process for the bigger iMac is just getting started.

Vivo has quietly launched a new Y-series smartphone. It is the Vivo Y27 5G. The device has been listed on the brand’s global website. It had bagged multiple certifications in recent months, hence an official launch was imminent. Read on to know what it offers out of the box.
Vivo Y27 5G specifications and features
The Vivo Y27 5G features a 6.44-inch LCD display bearing a waterdrop notch. It offers an FHD+ resolution and 600 nits peak brightness. The power button doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. The back panel has a square camera module.
On the imaging front, the Vivo Y27 5G has a dual rear camera setup of a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP secondary bokeh lens. The device features an 8MP front-facing selfie snapper.

The iQOO 11 series launched in December last year. The Vivo sub-brand also announced the iQOO 11S earlier this month. iQOO is reportedly working on the next-generation iQOO 12 lineup. It is expected to debut in the last quarter of 2023. Now, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared some key details of the iQOO 12 on the microblogging platform Weibo. Read on to know more below.
iQOO 12 key specifications leaked
DCS says that the iQOO 12 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor under the hood. Qualcomm is expected to announce the next-generation chipset in October this year. It is possible that iQOO may confirm the use of the chipset at the Snapdragon Summit. The upcoming smartphone is tipped to pack up to 16GB RAM and come with 512GB and 1TB storage options. The device is said to support 100W fast charging which seems to be odd considering that its predecessor had faster charging support.
DCS adds that the iQOO 12 will come with an AMOLED display bearing a resolution of 2K pixels. It is expected to feature a 144Hz refresh rate. The upcoming offering will reportedly feature a 50MP primary rear camera. Details about other sensors remain unknown and the tipster says that iQOO is testing multiple camera layout designs including one where the module is located at the top left corner.
Previously, Digital Chat Station had also revealed that the iQOO 12 will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery unit with support for 200W wired and 50W wireless charging.
We can expect more details of the iQOO 12 to surface in the coming months.
Last week, a report revealed the RAM, storage, and color variant details of the upcoming Redmi K60 Ultra smartphone. Now, a new leak has emerged online with a design render and a few promotional images of the K60 Ultra with back covers. Let’s take a look.
The smartphone’s rear design is consistent with the previous leaks, featuring a square-shaped camera module, which has two large circular cameras, a smaller circular camera, and a pill-shaped dual-tone LED flash. Positioned just below on the left side, the Redmi branding is elegantly presented in a vertical manner. Moving to the front, the device impresses with slim bezels surrounding the display, complemented by a centrally placed punch-hole camera.
Redmi K60 Ultra specs
Rumored details suggest that the Redmi K60 Ultra could feature a sizable 6.7-inch OLED display with an impressive 1.5K resolution and a high refresh rate of 144Hz. While the operating system is expected to be Android 13 with MIUI 14, the device might be powered by the rumored Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.
In terms of memory and storage, two variants are speculated: one with 12 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, and another with a substantial 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. As for the battery, there are rumors of a generous capacity ranging from 5,000mAh to 5,500mAh, with support for fast charging at 120W.
As for color options, it is anticipated that the Redmi K60 Ultra could be available in sleek Black and vibrant Cyan. However, it’s important to note that these details are still subject to speculation and the actual release may vary.
Tata Group is on the verge of acquiring Wistron Corp’s Karnataka factory, a facility that assembles iPhone 14. Should the acquisition be successful, Tata will become the first Indian company to produce iPhones, not just for the domestic market but also for global distribution. The deal, which is expected to be finalized by August, is a part of India’s drive to establish itself as a leading player in hardware manufacturing, a vision championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s made-in-India initiative.
India’s Drive to Become a Global Hardware Manufacturer
The Karnataka factory, currently valued at $600 million, has a workforce of over 10,000 employees. As part of an existing contract, Wistron is committed to delivering iPhones worth $1.8 billion in the current fiscal year through March 2024. The plan also includes expanding the workforce threefold in the next year. Tata Group has reportedly agreed to honor these commitments.
The acquisition is significant in the context of shifting global manufacturing dynamics, as many tech firms are seeking alternatives to China for their high-end device assembly. Apple, in particular, is turning its attention to India as a new production hub. The move aligns with India’s aggressive tax incentives to promote the domestic manufacture of electronics, including smartphones.
Moreover, India has attracted other major smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, Xiaomi, and Vivo, to establish local production facilities. Smartphone exports from India, which include iPhone exports, have reportedly increased by 128% in April and May of this year. Despite Vedanta’s failed joint venture with Foxconn for a semiconductor project, India’s ambition to bolster its domestic electronics industry remains strong, with Tata’s imminent acquisition playing a vital role.
Known Apple supplier Foxconn is apparently eyeing the chipmaking subsidies being offered by the Indian government. The news arrives soon after the company pulled out of its multi-billion dollar deal with Vedanta for a chip manufacturing partnership.
Foxconn seeks chip subsidiaries to expand in India
After the deal with Vedanta was terminated, it appears that the contract manufacturer is planning on using the incentives being offered in India to set up a new semiconductor unit in the region. Foxconn stated earlier today (11th July 2023) that it is working on applying under the Modified Programme for Semiconductors and Display Fab Ecosystem in India. This is the sizeable 10 billion US Dollar incentive that helps lower the capital costs for semiconductor and display manufacturing projects by up to 50 percent.
As per their official statement, “We have been actively reviewing the landscape for optimal partners. Foxconn is committed to India and sees the country successfully establishing a robust semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.” Notably, the company’s recent split with Vedanta also deals a hit to the Modi government which has been pushing for semiconductor production within the country.
But while the Foxconn-Vedanta deal fell apart, the former is still looking to expand in India by setting up its own semiconductor and display manufacturing unit. Furthermore, the company is also in talks with partners that are both domestic and international to make semiconductors in the region for products that include the growing EV market (Electric Vehicles).
Nubia launched the Z50 Ultra (review) flagship phone earlier in March this year after launching the standard Z50 last December. Now, the brand is reportedly working on a third device in the Z50 series. The company has already teased the launch of a new flagship phone series without revealing the name. It is rumored to be dubbed the Nubia Z50S Pro. The upcoming offering has been spotted on 3C certification and the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Read on to know more details about the device.
Nubia Z50S Pro spotted on Geekbench and 3C
The Nubia Z50S Pro is listed on Geekbench benchmarking platform and 3C certification website with model number NX713J. The former reveals a motherboard codenamed Kalama comprising of three cores clocked at 2.02GHz, four cores at 2.80GHz, and one core ticking at 3.36GHz. This corresponds to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC paired with Adreno 740 GPU. The benchmark listing reveals 12GB RAM onboard and it will ship with Android 13 OS. We can also expect more RAM and storage configurations at launch.
In the Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core test results, the Nubia Z50S Pro scores 1,564 and 5,115 points respectively. As for the 3C certification, the listing reveals that it will come with support for 80W fast charging.
Apart from the aforementioned details, the listings don’t reveal any additional information of the Nubia Z50S Pro. As per a past report, the upcoming Nubia flagship is said to feature an upgraded primary camera, promising an improved photography experience.
We expect to learn more details about the upcoming Nubia phone in the coming days.
Ahead of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 26th, hands-on images of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 have surfaced online, providing a closer look at the device’s design. While the leaked images show similarities to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, there are a few subtle refinements worth noting.
Galaxy Z Fold 5 Highlight Subtle Design Refinements
The photos showcase the Fold 5’s cover display, back, and the redesigned hinge, which now allows the device to close fully flat. Although the overall appearance remains similar, keen observers will spot slight modifications in the rear camera setup, featuring a larger lens protrusion and a separate LED flash.
One image reveals the inner folding display; however, its quality makes it difficult to determine if the crease is visible. It’s important to note that the leaked unit appears to be a test model, as it features several identifying labels on both the front and back. The images were obtained by a Redditor who claims they were shared by someone looking to sell the unit.
In terms of design, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 seems to focus on subtle enhancements rather than major changes compared to its predecessor. Notably, Samsung has worked on making the device appear thinner when closed and has introduced a zero-gap hinge for improved aesthetics.
While external design updates are limited, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is expected to offer notable internal improvements. Reports suggest a switch to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, delivering faster and more efficient performance, along with speedy UFS 4.0 storage. The device is expected to feature a primary 50MP camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera featuring 3x optical zoom.
Earlier today, the Infinix Zerobook 13 laptop went on sale in India with a starting price of Rs 51,990. The brand has now launched a new range of high-definition smart TVs based on webOS.

On the other hand, the 43-inch variant provides a 4K QLED display with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a wide color gamut of 94% DCI-P3 (+/-5%).
Powering these TVs is a Quad-Core processor with an IMG BXE4 GPU clocked at 700 MHz. They come with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage for smooth performance. The TVs run on webOS and offer popular streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+Hotstar, YouTube, and more. Additionally, they support Apple AirPlay and are compatible with Apple Home devices.
The 4K model features the Magic Remote with voice and gesture control, adding convenience to the user experience. Both models come with dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac for seamless connectivity. Connectivity options include 3x HDMI ports with ARC support, 2x USB ports, 1 RF input, 1 AV input, 1 headphone jack, and LAN. The TVs also feature 20W (2 x 10W) speakers with Dolby Audio support for immersive sound quality.
The second quarter of the year ended last month. Now, global markets intelligence firm International Data Corporation (IDC) has shared results of global PC shipments in the second quarter of this year i.e the period from April to June. The personal computing market experienced a significant decline over-on year in Q2, 2023. However, the contraction is lesser than Q1, 2023. Read on to know everything below.
PC market experiences a decline in Q2, 2023
In Q2, 2023, the global PC shipments dipped 13.4 percent YoY basis. This is far lesser than a 29 percent contraction in Q1 this year. The market saw a sixth consecutive quarterly decline. IDC attributes this to factors like macroeconomic headwinds, weak demand, and a shift in IT budgets. The weak demand also resulted in higher inventory.
As for OEMs, Lenovo, Dell, and Acer registered double-digit declines in Q2, 2023 compared to the same period last year. Only Apple registered growth. Lenovo still led the market with 14.2 million shipments and a 23.1 percent share. HP came second with 13.1 million units sold and a 21.8 percent share. Dell was third on the list with 10.3 million shipped devices and a 16.8 percent market share. Apple bagged the fourth spot by selling 5.3 million units and having an 8.6 percent share of the market. The Cupertino-based tech giant also grew 10.3 percent year-on-year basis. Acer was the fifth on the list with a 3.2 percent market share.
IDC reports that Apple had a favorable YoY comparison as the company faced supply issues during 2Q22 due to COVID-related supply constraints. On the other hand, HP dealt with an oversupply of inventory in the past year and has now approached normal levels.

Last year we reviewed the Dangbei Mars Pro, a premium 4K laser projector that performed very versatile for under $2,000. And today we have a more affordable version for you, the Dangbei Mars standard variant, which inherits many of its core features but for a much more affordable price.
We have used it for over a week as our primary projector in our studio, and we think it’s one of the best options in the market if you’re looking to replace your LED projector with a budget of under $1,000. Now let’s find out how it works.
Unboxing & Design
Although it’s over 40% cheaper compared to the Pro version, when I first saw the package and checked what we got inside, I could hardly find any difference. We still got a power adapter with a power cord, a remote control, the instruction manual, a PTZ cleaner, and a fine cloth for lens cleaning.
It looks almost identical to the Pro version. It’s clear that Dangbei put the design on a high pedestal and they don’t want the purchase to fall into the cracks, so we can still see this very cool black body. The frame is still made of aluminum, and on top of it covered with a huge 2.5D glass panel.
The front of the machine is also almost unchanged, except for the huge laser module, next to which we can find a set of laser focus sensors and a camera. The only button you’ll find on the Dangbei Mars is the power button on top and it’s not a physical button, so you don’t have to worry about dust getting inside after long use.
The sides and back of the projector are wrapped by a grille with many dense holes. From the outside, we can faintly see the speakers inside, and these holes are used to have more effective cooling.
Connectivity & Expandability
Excellent connectivity is also intact on the Mars projector. With dual-HDMI video sources, audio sources, 2 USB ports for external storage, and a LAN-wired network connection, you can connect almost any multimedia device to it at the same time. In addition, it also supports wireless projection via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, which certainly gives users more options for projection.
Image quality
Well it’s time to talk about image quality, so what compromises have resulted from the $500 price gap? The most obvious change is the reduction in resolution from 4K to 1080p, which you might think is a step back, but the truth is that its brightness and color are far more decisive than resolution for projector performance. We don’t have many complaints about the sharpness of the images, rather the lightweight design makes it less of a burden in terms of heating and running. Meanwhile, it allows the cost to be spent more efficiently on the presentation of colors and brightness.
So we are happy that the standard version has the same high brightness as the Mars Pro. Even in indoor environments during the daytime, the 2100 ISO lumens still give you a good visual experience. Thanks to the advanced ALPD technology, it allows us to get a brighter image than LED projectors in such a compact body. And compared with most of the full-HD projectors we’ve reviewed, it also performs significantly better in terms of actual clarity viewed by eyes.
Dangbei claims that it can be played on a maximum screen size of 180 inches. It’s a shame that we couldn’t find such a large screen to achieve the most stunning personal cinema effect. But that’s really exciting to think about. But probably later we will upgrade the curtain for it, that’s really exciting to think about.
Another surprise is that the Dangbei Mars even inherits the support of HDR10 and HLG. So it still can handle well with HDR content, which is definitely one of the bonuses that we only used to experience on most flagship projectors.
Easy Interaction & Auto setup
Excellent image quality is only part of the user experience, for most homes, the ease of use of the projector is just as important as the image quality, and it is in this part that we recognized the effort that Dangbei put into software interaction last year.
Mars also supports fast boost and almost senseless fast autofocus, so you don’t need to manually adjust the projector’s focus after each start-up or position change, and if you have a curtain for your projector as we do, the auto keystone correction and intelligent screen fit with obstacle avoidance can help you get the most accurate image quickly.
Sound with dual 10W speakers
In terms of the sound system, Dangbei Mars has two built-in 10W speakers, and these days, I feel that it is already loud enough when I turn the volume to 50%. And the projector also supports Dolby Audio with multiple sound modes, so you can get stereo and surging audio when watching movies.
Software & NetFlix ready
The Dangbei Mars is still powered by the MT9669 chipset, but its storage has been downgraded to 1GB of RAM and 8GB of ROM, which is in fact my least favorite thing here. the limited RAM brought a slight operating delay while typing. Well thank God it doesn’t run on Android but Linux OS, the user interface is still smooth and very simple, and you can quickly get to the most useful features such as officially certified preloaded Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime videos. So yes, the most important thing is that Netflix has been officially licensed and pre-installed.
Scenarios
I don’t suggest you do too many tricks on it, because I think the brand also realized the fact that users take projectors as a mere display machine most of the time, and if they want to do something special they can plug some other devices into the projector, such as turning it into a giant screen for multiple gaming consoles, or something else like TV boxes.
On the other hand, this projector also supports wireless screencasting, so you can very easily transfer content from your phone, pad, or PC to it, the latency is almost senseless. And we actually tried playing games with it via wireless casting. The latency is already good enough to handle it.
There’re some other reasons for us to take the projector as our studio screen. For example, it consumes less power than a TV and it’s definitely more flexible and portable if we want to move it around and fit it in different sizes and viewing distances. And it’s impressively quiet when running. The maximum noise level we tested is only about 24 dB.
Verdict
To conclude, the Dangbei Mars is truly an inexpensive projector that offers a great audio and video experience with excellent connectivity and a user-friendly system. Dangbei has smartly made some reasonable trade-offs, allowing them to bring the major advantages of laser projectors to a more affordable model, such as brighter images and decent image quality. It has a significant brightness and color advantage over LED projectors in its price range, so I think it’s a great option to consider if you’re looking to build a private theater system for your family.
