Last month, Gizmore launched the Slate smartwatch for women in India. Now, the brand has launched two new audio products in the country called the Gizmore Gizbud 809 and the Gizbud 851. So let’s take a look at what these earbuds have to offer.
Gizbud 809 and Gizbud 851 features
Starting off with the design, the Gizbuds 809 has a close resemblance to the Apple Airpods while the Gizbuds 851 look almost like the AirPods Pro. Both offer a snug fit, making the earbuds perfect for use during workout sessions.

Both the Gizbud 809 and 851 feature USB Type-C ports for charging. The Gizbud 851 offers 12 hours of playback time, while the Gizbud 809 delivers 24 hours of playback time. Lastly, the Gizbud 809 offer IPX4 water resistance.
Pricing & availability
Gizmore has priced both the Gizbud 809 and 851 at ₹999 ($12). They can be purchased from major offline stores and online sellers including the brand’s own online store.
On Monday night, while being charged, several electric vehicles parked inside an e-bike showroom in Pune, Maharashtra, caught fire. Seven electric bikes in all were destroyed in the fire, according to reports on the incident. Remarkably, no casualties were reported during the incident. The fire may have been started by overcharging the EVs, according to the emergency response team’s preliminary examination.
The fire incident happened at an e-bike showroom in Market Yard, Pune. On Monday, at about 8 o’clock, reports of a fire that had begun in the shop resulted in a call to the fire department. According to some unconfirmed accounts, the fire started in a Komaki India dealership that featured electric scooters and bikes.
According to the hints given thus far, there were a handful of electric bikes stored in the showroom while they were charging. The bikes were designed to recharge their batteries after being plugged in overnight. One of these vehicles may have experienced a short circuit as a result of overcharging, which ultimately resulted in the hazardous fire outbreak. Please take note that a thorough investigation of the incident must be completed before it is possible to determine the precise cause of the fire.
Four fire tenders were used by the emergency team to put out the fire after they arrived. When the situation was finally under control, the showroom’s electric bike display had burned to the ground. Fortunately, no one was hurt or reported to have died as a result of the incident.
Can you overcharge your EV?
The short answer to this issue is No – you cannot overload your EV, even if you keep it plugged in all night. This is especially true if you equate the word “EV” with models like Tesla automobiles and other high-end electric vehicles. When the battery capacity of these electric vehicles reaches 100% while they are being charged, the battery management systems, or BMS, in these cars have the capability of stopping the current flow.
Having said that, it’s possible that the checks used in smaller, less expensive EVs are not infallible. Even after the battery of the EV has been fully charged, electrons will still continue to flow into the battery pack until the vehicle is plugged in. If this were the case, the battery would eventually overheat, get damaged, and possibly catch fire.
Speculatively, this could be the cause of the fire that started on Monday in Pune. However, there are other potential causes as well, and the precise one can only be foreseen after a thorough analysis of the incident. It would be unjust to attribute the fire up until that point to EV overcharging because an EV’s BMS practically guarantees that it won’t happen.
ASUS Zenfone 9 has been spotted in press renders courtesy of Twitter user SnoopyTech. It reveals the smartphone in full glory. The upcoming offering is set to debut in the global markets on July 28th.
Previously, ASUS had accidentally leaked a promo video of the Zenfone 9. It revealed key specifications as well as the design of the device. The smartphone will arrive as the successor to the last year’s Zenfone 8. In the latest development, the leaked renders of the device corroborate the promo video.
As per the images, the ASUS Zenfone 9 will come with a boxy form factor. The display has a punch-hole cutout at the top left corner surrounded by thin bezels except for the bottom chin. The volume rocker and power buttons are on the right side of the device. The smartphone has two speaker grilles, a USB-C port, a 3.5mm jack, and a SIM tray at the bottom. On the back panel, the ASUS Zenfone 9 houses two large camera rings. There is an engraved text saying 50MP wide camera and Gimball stabilisation that suggests the availability of the feature on the phone.
Apart from this, the leaked renders don’t reveal any key specifications of the ASUS Zenfone 9. However, as per the promo video, the smartphone will reportedly be equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. It will be backed by a 4,300mAh battery unit. The device is tipped to feature a 5.9-inch sAMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Zenfone 9 will come with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that can also be used as a smart key for swiping through the webpage.
Nothing released its first smartphone in the market, the Nothing Phone (1) a few days ago. The phone comes with a unique design, unseen in this segment, with a minimalistic design and software profile, and is looking to build a fan following like the Google Pixel series. While it has a set of interesting features up its sleeve, in terms of specs, it’s a mid-range model. So, today, let’s compare it with another recently released smartphone, the OnePlus Nord 2T, which also retails around the same price as this Nothing smartphone.

Design
Both the Nothing model and the Nord 2T have a compact design which is easy for one-handed use.
But if we consider just the design, the Nothing Phone (1) has a solid advantage. It is one of the best-looking phones in its price segment. The phone features a minimalistic transparent back cover with a matrix of LEDs which the company calls the glyph interface. There’s no denying that the phone is a head turner and you are surely going to be asked a few questions when you take it out of your pocket. The glyph interface is more than a neat party trick. While you can customize the LEDs to a considerable extent, the phone ships with 10 different ringtones with custom glyphs. Moreover, when you plug the phone into charging, the glyph interface also shows your charging progress.
Apart from this glyph interface and its transparent back, the Nothing phone features an aluminum frame and an iPhone-like camera module at the back. This is not really a bad thing, and it definitely has a clear edge in terms of design and uniqueness in its price segment.
On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord 2T comes with a familiar Nord-esque design. The overall device feels premium with a soft matte finish. When you directly compare it to the Nothing Phone (1), the Nord 2T might feel a bit boring. However, the phone is still pretty well-built for its price segment, and disregarding this model because it doesn’t have a fancy or unique design would be a bad idea. As we mentioned in our review, the phone feels premium for its price, and for those looking for a simple design, it could be a good option.
One thing to note here is that the Nothing Phone (1) is IP certified while the Nord 2T has no IP rating. However, the OnePlus model features the popular alert slider, which adds a unique factor to the device.
Display
The Nothing Phone (1) comes with a 6.55-inch OLED panel with FHD+ resolution. On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord 2T features a 6.43-inch screen with FHD+ resolution. Both have HDR10+ support with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. So screens are going to be similar on the two models and it’s hard to distinguish which one has a better display. That said, you wouldn’t go wrong with either in this price segment.
Specs & Software
The OnePlus Nord 2T has a clear advantage when it comes to its processor. The Dimensity 1300 on the OnePlus model is more powerful than the Snapdragon 778G+ chipset. Both the models offer up 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage as options.
So if you are into heavy gaming, the Nord 2T would be a better choice. That said, for most occasions, the 778G+ chipset would be sufficient, and only when you put it on heavy load, would it struggle.
As for software, the Nothing Phone (1) comes with Nothing OS on top of Android 12. The Nord 2T also features Android 12, but with OxygenOS 12.1 on top. As we noticed in our review, the Nord 2T still has a few bugs that needs to be ironed out. However, the Nothing Phone (1) isn’t perfect either as we have been hearing about a few bugs. This doesn’t come as a surprise given it’s a first generation device.
All in all, both the devices are not perfect in terms of software but they can be fixed via OTA updates in the near future.
Camera
Both the models have competitive cameras, but the Nothing Phone (1) might have an advantage with a better ultra wide-angle shooter. The Nothing model comes with a two-camera setup, featuring a 50MP OIS main camera and another 50MP ultra wide-angle shooter. On the other hand, the Nord 2T features a 50MP main shooter, an 8MP ultra wide-angle camera, and another 2MP shooter. Nothing phone’s setup is able to capture crisp and beautiful images from its main as well as ultra-wide angle shooter. Even when the lighting goes down, the setup is capable enough to output high-quality images. On the other hand, the Nord 2T clicks good quality images in bright daylight but the quality at night is not as good as the Nothing model. So, when you consider the cameras alone, the Nothing Phone (1) will have an advantage.
On the front, the Nothing model features a 16MP shooter, while the OnePlus model features a 32MP selfie camera. Despite the differences in the resolution, the selfie camera quality should not differ significantly.
Both phones feature a 4500mAh battery but the OnePlus Nord 2T features a super fast 80W charger. However, the Nothing phone adds a 15W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging support of 5W in addition to its average 33W wired charging support.
Wireless charging support in this price segment definitely gives it an edge over the Nord 2T but for those who prefer wired charging, 80W on the 2T would offer significantly faster-charging speeds over the Nothing model.
Price
The Nothing Phone (1) retails for ₹32,999/£399/€469 but the Nord 2T comes in for a cheaper price tag at ₹28,999/£418/€399. Also, it will be easier for buyers to get hold of the Nord phone than the latter device.
Another thing to consider is that Nothing Phone (1) is a first-generation model. The phone is likely to come with a few bugs or even hardware issues, so you need to consider these things when you make your purchase.
Nothing Phone (1) vs OnePlus Nord 2T: PROs and CONS
Just recently, we had reported on the Apple Watch saving life of a stranded kayaker and a a woman trapped in an icy river. Now, another report has found that the company’s smartwatch has possibly saved another life by detecting a rare tumor.
According to a CBS Boston report, the Cupertino based giant’s smartwatch helped in finding a rare tumor, which could’ve potentially been fatal to the user. Kim Durkee, a 67 year old woman, was taken to surgery for the removal of the deadly tumor after her Apple Watch warned her multiple times. These warnings notified her that her heart was in atrial fibrillation (AFib).
For those unaware, this basically means that the heart of the user had an irregular heartbeat. So after she received notifications for three consecutive nights, she made a visit to a nearby hospital. She told herself that “You know what, go to the emergency room; if they tell you it’s nothing to worry about then toss the watch.” Following tests, doctors found a myxoma which is a rare fast growing tumor that can restrict the flow of blood to the hear and cause a stroke.
Once the diagnosis was completed, Durkee underwent an open heart surgery for over 5 hours for the removal of the 4cm sized tumor. And just under two weeks, she was ready to be discharged from the hospital. When asked by the doctors as to how she knew that she had an AFib, Kim simply told them that “my watch told me.” Doctors said that Kim would’ve most certainly died if the Apple Watch had not warned her.

Apple recently announced that it will start mass production of the iPhone 14 series soon. Since this update, there are new reports in the financial market that Apple’s iPhone is the primary reason for its incredible revenue generation due to a magnanimous number of sales.
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives claims in a note to investors reviewed by AppleInsider that despite supply problems hitting the tech sector, he expects iPhone demand to hold up slightly better than anticipated. He thinks Apple’s Q3 2022 financial results will meet expectations.
Wedbush predicts that Apple will likely surpass Wall Street estimates when it reports its June quarter profits.
In the June quarter, analysts anticipate Apple to post revenue of about $82 billion and earnings-per-share of $1.16.
Wall Street still anticipates Apple to experience difficulties in the June quarter, though. Ives claims that “all eyes” are on the cycle of supply and demand for the iPhone 14. A new mixed-reality headset might be part of Apple’s aggressive product pipeline that the company is focusing on for 2023.
The “peak worry” for Apple’s supply chain issues will be the June quarter. Although Ives anticipates any Covid or supply delays to abate in the September and December quarters, Apple warned of a $4 billion to $8 billion revenue blow. Recently, we reported that the iPhone 14 Max variant was facing display supply chain issues.
Apple’s installed base is the key to surviving the macroeconomic storms, as is customary. Since almost 240 million of Apple’s 1 billion iPhone owners have not yet upgraded their devices, Ives continues to hold on to the notion that the iPhone upgrade cycle is stubborn.
Services appear to be in good shape going into the second part of 2022 and 2023. Ives estimates that the value of Apple’s services alone is greater than $1 trillion. He considers the risk/reward to be “extremely appealing at current levels” when taken into account its hardware.
Ives said that “While the nervous market backdrop is creating a fearful environment for tech stocks, we believe Apple’s growth story remains well intact despite the shaky macro.”
Ives continues to rate Apple as Outperform and has a $200 price target for the next year. His objective is predicated on a sum-of-the-parts valuation of his 2022 projections, which translates to an 18x multiple on services at $1.5 trillion and a 7x multiple on Apple’s hardware division at $2.1 trillion.
Realme is apparently planning on launching a special edition of one of its newly released smartphone models in India soon. The model in question is the Realme GT Neo 3 Naruto Edition.
For those unaware, the Chinese smartphone maker had launched this limited edition GT Neo 3 model in its home market previously. And now, it appears that this version of the GT Neo 3 is also making its way to the Indian market. If this news is true, the Naruto Edition will be the second special edition GT Neo 3 model to launch in the region, with the brand recently also releasing the Realme GT Neo 3 Thor Love and Thunder special edition.
The news arrives from known tipster Abhishek Yadav who claimed that the GT Neo 3 Naruto Edition launch in India is just around the corner. While he did reveal this information, the tipster did not reveal the exact launch date for the smartphone. Talking about the smartphone itself, it is basically the GT Neo 3 model under the hood, with the only real difference being the special external design.
As the name suggests, the Naruto special edition carries a custom orange color with AG glass, which the brand claims took around 17 months to carefully polish the etching of the back panel. Furthermore, the special edition also arrives in a special retail box that is made from leather and features the iconic scroll design. This box also contains a 33W power bank as well. There are also custom cases that were sold separately.
Following weeks of hype garnering marketing, the Nothing Phone (1) was finally announced in various markets. Now, the company has officially rolled out the first update for the handset, which serve to enhance the user’s experience. So let’s have a look.

As of right now, this update has already been rolled out in India and is being released in other regions as well. Looking at the changelog, the company has offered a new update that revamps the operating system’s sound effects, brought improvements to the Glyph LED lighting interface, and even optimized the battery life of the new smartphone.

Qualcomm has just announced the dates for its Snapdragon Summit later this year. During this event, the company confirmed that it will be launching the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which will make its debut earlier than its predecessors.
As per official notes, the Snapdragon Summit will be a three day event and will be held in Hawaii and starts on November 15 till November 17. Earlier today, the chipmaking giant had officially announced the Snapdragon W5 and W5+ SoC‘s launch during the Snapdragon Summit conference. Now, it has confirmed that it will be unveiling its next generation of flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the same event.
Typically, the company usually releases its latest high end chips at the end of the year, around December. But now, the dates have apparently moved up, although, Qualcomm has yet to reveal the reason for this. At the moment, it is likely that the Chinese tech giant Xiaomi will be the first to launch a flagship smartphone that features this upcoming chipset. It will probably launch its Xiaomi 13 series of premium grade handsets with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
Last year, Motorola was the first to launch a flagship model with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. In other words, we can expect it to be one of the first if not the very first again as well, with the Edge 40 Pro model. Keep in mind that the Snapdragon Summit is still a while away, so stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
