Madhav Sheth is now the Realme Global VP for Business & Corporate Strategy

Earlier this week, we had reported on rumors that the head of Realme India Madhav Sheth had apparently resigned from his position. These rumors were later denied by company representatives but it appears that the senior official is leaving and taking up a new role.

For those unaware, Madhav Sheth played an integral role in helping the Chinese smartphone maker establish a presence in the Indian market. The rumors had hinted that Sheth was resigning and would be succeeded by Michael Guo. While these rumors had been denied, it appears there was one aspect that were true. Madhav Sheth is no longer the Chief Executive Officer of Realme India but has taken on a more global role.

Realme

In a new tweet, Sheth announced that he is excited to take on a new role as the company’s Vice President for Business and Corporate Strategy (Global). He further added that he is “Excited to take this opportunity and contribute to company’s success.” It is unclear how exactly his role would change in the company. But he would likely be building strategies for the global market, rather than simply focusing on the Indian market, which is a key region for the brand.

Madhav Sheth boasts 17 years of experience as a business leader and has already won several awards for his contributions. He is already responsible for strategy developments, product engineering, business development, market operations, and brand building initiatives, and more. So we can expect this role to be further expanded to impact the company on a broader scale.

Twitter to Kill Legacy Verified Checkmarks Starting April 1st: A Shift Towards Paid Verification

By

-

Twitter has announced that it will begin removing legacy verified checkmarks from previously verified accounts starting on April 1st. This move comes in the wake of the global expansion of Twitter Blue, the platform’s subscription service. The company’s intention to retire the legacy checkmarks has been known since November 2022, when CEO Elon Musk stated that there were “far too many corrupt legacy Blue ‘verification’ checkmarks.” With the date fast approaching, legacy verified users are about to lose their blue ticks, but the exact nature of the removal process remains unclear.

Twitter says it’s killing legacy verified checkmarks starting on April 1st

The impending removal of legacy verified checkmarks has generated mixed reactions, with some questioning whether it might be an elaborate April Fools’ joke orchestrated by the ever-whimsical Elon Musk. The company has not clarified if the removal will happen all at once or in phases, and reaching out for further information has so far been met with playful non-answers.

The announcement coincides with the worldwide availability of Twitter Blue subscriptions, which were initially limited to specific regions. With the expansion of the service, users around the globe can now enjoy features such as a blue tick next to their username, 4,000-character tweet limits, post-editing capabilities, and higher reply rankings.

The global rollout is a crucial step towards Musk’s goal of generating half of Twitter’s revenue from subscriptions. However, the platform’s success in achieving this target will depend on users’ willingness to pay the subscription fee of $8 per month (or $11 if purchased through the iOS app) for these additional features.

Twitter verified checkmarks

As Twitter prepares to wind down its legacy verified program, the fate of the blue checkmarks hangs in the balance. The shift towards paid verification through the Twitter Blue subscription service marks a significant change in the platform’s approach to account verification. While many questions remain unanswered, the global expansion of Twitter Blue sets the stage for a new era in the platform’s history, as it seeks to diversify its revenue streams and provide added value to its users.

Samsung to follow same design language for its entire Galaxy phone lineup

By
Sean
-

Samsung has apparently revealed an interesting detail regarding its plans for its entire 2023 lineup of Galaxy smartphones. The company is planning on making a standardized design language for its entire handset portfolio.

The news arrives from a tweet from @chunvn8888. On the social media post, he stated that the South Korean tech giant has “confirmed during A series press release in Vietnam that the whole 2023 Galaxy line up from A budget to Z flagship will share the same exact design language. So prepare for the flagship foldable Galaxy A looking (aka Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5).” In other words, we can expect all future devices that will launch later this year to resemble one another.

Samsung

Although, it is still unclear how the entire design language will follow through on foldable phones since they have secondary displays as well. But, this could likely be in reference to their overall form factor rather than a strict design element. To put things simply, the upcoming Galaxy F, A, M, S, and Z series models would basically feature a flat design on the front and back while having curved corners on all four sides.

This isn’t necessarily bad news considering most brands tend to stick with designs that tend to serve as an identity to their products. But regardless, knowing that there will barely be any difference between a budget and premium offering from the brand doesn’t seem like an appealing prospect. So let us know in the comments section down below, how you feel about this decision.

Russian TV Channel Introduces AI Weather Girl, Snezhana Tumanova

AI advancements are taking the world by storm, with new and exciting models emerging constantly. Recently, a local television channel in Russia, (Svoye TV) has introduced an AI weather presenter. The AI named (Snezhana Tumanova) created through the use of several neural networks, aims to provide viewers with accurate and engaging weather forecasts. Here are the details…

Russian TV channel unveils AI weather girl

Svoye TV premiered its new program, ‘Future Forecast,’ on Tuesday, showcasing the capabilities of its AI weather girl, Snezhana Tumanova. The channel revealed that the program operates using neural networks, with one responsible for the virtual presenter, another for preparing the text, and a third for generating graphic content. The program is set to air five times a day, providing viewers with regular weather updates.

Snezhana Tumanova, whose name is a play on the Russian words for ‘snow’ and ‘fog,’ is an ambitious AI presenter seeking to outperform her human counterparts. Despite her potential to revolutionize weather forecasting, the management of Svoye TV has clarified that they do not plan to abandon traditional weather forecasts featuring a human presenter at this time.

The use of artificial TV presenters is not a new phenomenon. China has been a pioneer in this field, with the state-run Xinhua News Agency launching an ‘English AI Anchor’ back in 2018. Since then, multiple outlets have followed suit. Just last week, China’s leading newspaper, the People’s Daily, unveiled an AI presenter named ‘Ren Xiaorong’ that is set to broadcast the news 24 hours a day.

Svoye TV’s AI weather girl, Snezhana Tumanova, marks an exciting development in the use of artificial intelligence within the media industry. While human presenters still hold their ground, the integration of AI-driven presenters signals a shift in the way we consume news and information. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more advancements in AI and its applications within the media landscape.

Now, the company has revealed that the iQOO Z7 smartphone has become the highest-selling smartphone on a launch day in the Indian market on Amazon compared to all the mid-range smartphones launched in India this year.

iQOO Z7 5G Amazon India Bestseller

In India, the iQOO Z7 5G smartphone has a starting price of ₹18,999 (~$230) for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model, while the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage version is priced at ₹19,999 (~$242). It is available in two color options — Pacific Night and Norway Blue.

ChatGPT Gains Web Browsing Capabilities and Access to Live Data with Latest Plug-ins

By
Oğuz Çakır
-

ChatGPT is taking the world by storm, with new and exciting news emerging constantly. Recently, OpenAI has announced a significant upgrade to ChatGPT by introducing support for plug-ins that grant it access to live data from the web. This move vastly enhances chatbots capabilities, transforming it into a versatile interface for various services and websites. Here are the details…

OpenAI Unleashes ChatGPT by Introducing Plug-ins for Web Browsing and Website Interactions

Until now, ChatGPT’s information pool was limited to its training data, which only extended up to 2021. The newly introduced plug-ins not only enable the chatbot to browse the internet but also interact with specific websites. OpenAI likens this to allowing other services to function as ChatGPT’s “eyes and ears.”

In a demo video, a user employs ChatGPT to locate a recipe and order the required ingredients from Instacart. The chatbot seamlessly transfers the ingredient list to the shopping service, redirecting the user to the site to finalize the order. Initially, OpenAI is rolling out plug-in access to a select group of users.

The first 11 plug-ins cater to external sites such as Expedia, OpenTable, Kayak, Klarna Shopping, and Zapier. OpenAI is also providing its own plug-ins, including one for code interpretation and another called “Browsing” that lets ChatGPT access information from the internet. The browsing plug-in demonstrates its prowess when a user inquires about box office sales of recent Oscar winners compared to other releases.

ChatGPT cites its sources before providing the answer—a feat it couldn’t achieve previously. This experimental feature resembles Microsoft’s Bing, which supplies GPT-4 (the language model underpinning ChatGPT) with online data. However, OpenAI’s plug-in goes a step further by integrating with APIs, enabling it to “perform actions on behalf of the user,” as detailed in the company’s documentation.

OpenAI

This powerful upgrade raises security and safety concerns, as ChatGPT can now take actions for users instead of merely offering information. These concerns were previously highlighted in response to an experiment involving GPT-4, where the bot generated instructions for hiring a TaskRabbit worker to complete a CAPTCHA it couldn’t answer.

OpenAI acknowledges these threats and has implemented safeguards, such as limiting plug-in availability to a small number of users initially. The company will prioritize a select group of developers and ChatGPT Plus users for plug-in access, offering a waitlist sign-up for those interested.

OnePlus TV Y1S’ new 40-inch size option could soon Launch in India

By

-

OnePlus TV Y1S was launched in India in February last year. The TV was made available in two sizes— 32-inch and 43-inch. Now, the brand is reportedly gearing up to bring a new 40-inch size option for its affordable television to the Indian market. It is expected to be priced in the same range as the other two variants and offer a Full HD+ resolution.

Pricebaba, citing tipster Ishan Agarwal, has claimed that OnePlus is readying a new 40-inch size variant of TV Y1S for India. The new TV is said to launch soon in the country but an exact launch date has not been provided. The Chinese company hasn’t made any official yet, so the details about the TV are pretty limited as of now.

OnePlus TV Y1S 40-inch

OnePlus TV Y1S’ 32-inch and 43-inch models are available at Rs 14,499 and Rs 23,999 in India, respectively. The new size option will sit right in the middle with an expected price tag of around Rs 18,000. It is arguably an attractive price and will likely interest many Indian buyers who are looking to get a OnePlus television.

The existing size versions of the TV share the specifications with almost a similar resolution. We can expect the new 40-inch size option to feature similar hardware. It may support Full HD+ resolution and get a pair of speakers with 20W output and Dolby Atmos support. However, unlike the 32-inch and 43-inch variants, the TV may run the latest version of the Android TV OS— Android TV 12.

Connectivity options on the 40-inch Y1S may include OnePlus Connect 2.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, 1 x RF, 1 x AV, 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x HDMI 2.0 with ARC, 1 x RJ45, and 1 x digital audio output. It should come with Google Chromecast built-in and support Google Assistant and Alexa.

  • 2 Arm “titanium” cores named “Hunter” (A7xx)
  • 1 Arm “gold+” core named “Hunter ELP” (Xn)

The processor will not support 32-bit Android apps and games since the chipset lacks associated CPU cores, necessitating developers to update their apps to the 64-bit architecture.

Furthermore, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is also equipped with an Adreno 750 GPU (Adreno Gen 7.9.0) clocked at 770MHz, though the official flagship model’s clock frequency could potentially be higher.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is compatible with Android 14 and Linux Kernel 6.1, and is mass-produced through TSMC‘s improved 4nm process or Samsung’s 3nm process. These exciting developments will surely be a game-changer in the tech industry, and we can’t wait to see what new possibilities this processor will unlock.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has just announced the Redmi Note 12 (4G), Note 12 5G, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+ 5G for the global market. The press release available on Mi.com mentions all the details about these smartphones. It also contains a link (still accessible while writing the post) to the product pages of these smartphones. Surprisingly, the link also includes press renders of two unannounced smartphones, namely, the Redmi Note 12S and Redmi Note 12 Pro (4G). Both smartphones are expected to go official in the coming weeks.

Redmi Note 12S renders

The Redmi Note 12S renders show that it will come in black, blue, and green colors. It is equipped with a punch-hole screen, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and a 108-megapixel triple camera unit on the back.

The Redmi Note 12S rumors have claimed that it will be a rebranded version of the Note 11S from last year. However, the Note 12S will offer faster charging solution, but lack the depth sensor. Hence, it is expected to feature a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ 90Hz screen, a 16-megapixel selfie camera, a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit, Helio G96, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging.

As can be seen in the above renders, the Redmi Note 12 Pro (4G) will be available in black, white, blue, and gradient blue shades. In terms of design, the device can be seen sporting a punch-hole display, a side-facing fingerprint scanner, and a Xiaomi 12-series-like camera unit with a 108-megapixel primary snapper.

Rumours surrounding it have claimed that it will be rebranded version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro (global). Hence, it is expected to come with specs like a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 732G, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, a 5,020mAh battery, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 5-megapixel (macro)  + 2-megapixel (depth) quad-camera system.

NOVOO RG67 SuperVOOC 67W GaN Charger Review: A small and multifunctional charger

By
Sern Wen

Today I want to introduce you to a great charger: the NOVOO RG67 SuperVOOC 67W GaN Charger, a foldable charger with 1A1C port. This means that you only need to take it when you travel for business to meet your laptop, phone, and tablet charging needs.

Unboxing & Design

NOVOO RG67 box contains only three things: charger, cable, and manual. The design of the charger is very simple, consisting of black and silver frosted material. Printed on both sides are the NOVOO logo and its charging power. Because of the foldable design and the use of gallium nitride (GaN) technology, the entire charger is very small, 51.5mm*42mm*38mm. About the same size as my Xiaomi Buds 4.

Charging power

What is the most important thing about a charger? Charging speed. Charging speed in addition to depending on how much power your device supports maximum, also depends on the power and protocol of the charger. First, let’s look at the power of the Type-C port. Support 5V/9V/12V/15V/3A, 20V/3.35A PD3.0 67W Max. USB-A supports 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 10V/6.5A, 12V/1.5A SuperVOOC 2.0 50W. If Type-C + USB-A, it supports 45W + 18W MAX.

Charging protocol

The charging protocol is shown in the figure. The Type-C port supports most of the major charging protocols such as PD, QC 4.0, Apple 2.4A, and Vivo’s Super VOOC protocol. Although Samsung AFC and HUAWEI SCP/FCP cannot be activated, but also Samsung and HUAWEI phones can also be used with PD 2.0 or QC protocols to achieve 18w or more charging power, which is also enough.

The USB-A port has fewer protocols and is only recommended for charging iPhones or small battery devices like earbuds.

RG67 has good charging compatibility, such as MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro/Air/Mini, iPhone 12/11/XS/XR/X/8 series, Samsung Galaxy S21/S20/Note20 series, Google Pixel 5/4a/4 /3a/3 series all charge normally. Most non-main performance laptops RG67 can also power it.

All in all, NOVOO RG67 SuperVOOC 67W GaN Charger is a good product. First of all, it is a foldable GaN charger, small in size, and easy to carry. Type-C+USB-A port can also power your multiple electronic devices at the same time. The more charging protocols are also a bit of a bonus. The PD protocol allows it to quickly charge most electronic devices, including laptops.

Its original price is $39.99, and the official website is on sale at a discount. If you like it, you can buy it now.
