The Motorola Razr 5G was announced with a price tag of 1,399 euros. The new leak shows that the official price of the Razr 3 in Europe will be 1,149 euros, making it more affordable.
While Motorola is expected to make the Razr 3 available in multiple colors in future, initially it will be available in Quartz Black shard only. A previous report claimed that there could be a Tranquil Blue color variant. However, it appears that it may not be available at launch in Europe. The Motorola Razr 3 is expected to debut in July in China. Later, it will also arrive in Europe and other markets.
Motorola Razr 3 specifications (rumoured)

Last month Realme launched its third tablet: after the vanilla Pad and the Pad Mini, the Chinese giant came up with the Realme Pad X. A lot of people thought it was gonna be its first flagship tablet, but it is still a midrange device. However, it is the most powerful tablet released by the brand until now. A few days before, the OPPO Pad Air went official: in this case, we are talking about the second OPPO tablet which is also its first affordable tablet. Indeed, while Realme focused on the entry-level segment, the first OPPO tablet is actually a high-end model. Now, both the companies released a new model in May with midrange specifications. But which one is the best? This comparison between the specifications of the Realme Pad X and the OPPO Pad Air will give you the answer.
The OPPO Pad Air has a stunning and original design. It comes with a rainbow stripe with several colors and a brilliant texture, as well as a flat texture for the rest of the rear panel. It is definitely one of the most beautiful tablets released this year and it is even better than the vanilla OPPO Pad which comes with superior specifications. The Realme Pad X is not disappointing as it comes with a very thin design just like the OPPO tablet, as well as narrow bezels around the display. But the OPPO Pad Air is not only more beautiful but even more compact and thinner than its rival. So the OPPO tablet wins the design comparison. However, note that the Realme Pad X comes in a special variant with a checkered design which you could like if you like sports cars or you are a young person loving aggressive and gaming-centric aesthetics.
Display
If you are looking for the display with the most advanced image quality, then you should go for the OPPO Pad Air without thinking twice. Unfortunately, both these tablets come with IPS LCD displays instead of AMOLED panels, so you should not expect an amazing color reproduction. But the OPPO Pad Air comes with a panel that is able to show up to one billion colors, so it is above-average if compared to the other LCD displays out there. The display has a diagonal of 10.36 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels. The Realme Pad X comes with a wider 10.6-inch display, but it looks like it cannot show one billion colors and it stops at 16 million. The resolution is exactly the same: Full HD+ with 1200 x 2000 pixels. Both the tablets support a stylus for handwriting and drawing and they have four stereo speakers for an improved audio experience, but they lack a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Specs & Software
The most satisfying hardware department belongs to the Realme Pad X for a simple reason: it has a better processor. We are talking about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G mobile platform built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz, with two Kryo 660 Gold cores and six Kryo 660 Silver cores. Even though the SoC is called Snapdragon 695 5G, the Realme Pad X does not support 5G connectivity as the chipset is not bundled with a modem. The Snapdragon 695 5G is paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. The OPPO Pad Air loses the battle because it sports an inferior Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G mobile platform (even in this case, there is no cellular connectivity), but on the other hand, it features a micro SD slot in order to expand the internal storage. Both the tablets run Android 12 out of the box customized by the same user interface, even though with different names (ColorOS and Realme UI).
Camera
If you are in search of the best camera, then the Realme Pad X is a better option for you. It has a better rear sensor with a 13 MP resolution: not comparable to the sensor found on Android phones (even the entry-level ones), but good for a tablet. Even the front camera is better if compared to the OPPO Pad Air, with an 8 MP resolution and a 105° FOV.
The Realme Pad X is the tablet offering the longest battery life simply because it has a bigger battery: the capacity is 8340 mAh against just 7100 mAh found on the OPPO Pad Air. Even the charging technology is superior because it features 33W fast charging, while the OPPO tablet stops at 18W.
Price
The starting price of the Realme Pad X for the Chinese market is $190/€180, and that is exactly the same starting price as the OPPO Pad Air. So which one is the best? Well, the OPPO Pad Air has a better design and a superior display, but for the rest, Realme Pad X wins: it has superior cameras, a better chipset, and even a bigger battery with a faster charging tech.

Microsoft‘s Xbox Series S is among one of the most accessible gaming consoles for gamers looking for a machine that can run current-generation games. It is basically a cut-down version of the Xbox Series X that comes with a relatively affordable price of ₹34,990.
However, according to a new report, the console, as well as the Xbox peripherals are set to get a price hike in India soon. According to industry insider Rishi Alwani, the prices of the Xbox Series S will be raised from ₹34,990 to ₹36,990. The tipster states that the price change will take effect starting June 30.
Other than the console, the Wireless Controller and Headset will also cost more than before. The controller, which currently has a price tag of ₹5,390, will cost ₹5,590 after the price change. Similarly, the price of the headset will also be bumped up from ₹8,990 to ₹9,490.
These changes are said to be a result of the fluctuating exchange rates of the Indian Rupee (₹) against the US Dollar.
Currently, it is unclear if the same price hikes will also come to the Xbox Series X or even the Sony Play Station 5. So, if you’ve been thinking of buying a new gaming console in India, this might be the right time before the prices go up.

Apple introduces a new iteration of the iPhone every year, with plenty of new features and enhancements. Similarly, several new features are part of the iPhone 13 series, including improved performance and enhanced user accessibility. To bring improvements, it becomes necessary to change how people interact with phones. Apple also works on the same philosophy, at least to some extent, as most of the features and changes in iOS evolve through human usage and patterns. Similarly, the flashlight light use cases have been diversified. Apart from aiding photography in a low-lit environment, it also facilitates dark areas if you’re looking for something.
The user can easily turn off the flashlight on iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The below methods work flawlessly only on all Face ID supported devices including iPhone 12 series, iPhone 11 series, iPhone X series, and an iPad Pro.
From Control Center
It is the most used method to enable the flashlight on iPhone 13. Follow the steps below to do so:
Swipe downwards from the top-right corner of your iPhone to pull Control Center.
Then, tap on the flashlight icon to toggle the functionality.
However, you can even control the flashlight brightness by simply long-pressing the same icon and then dragging the slider.
Asking Siri
It is the easiest way to toggle the flashlight on an iPhone. It even enables you to switch on and off primary smartphone utilities. However, to control the LED torch, you can initiate a talk with Siri by saying “Hey Siri”.
Hey Siri
Turn on Flashlight/Torch
Turn off Flashlight/Torch
From Lock Screen
Easy accessibility is the key aspect of iOS, and the same is identical across various iPhone features.
Open the Lockscreen, either by using the ‘Raise to Wake’ or ‘Tap to Wake’ features.
Now, hold the flashlight button on the bottom-left corner of the screen. You can easily toggle the state of the flashlight by holding the button again and again.
From the Home Screen shortcut
It is quite easy to control the torch from the home screen, but you need to install the Shortcuts app.
Install and open the Shortcuts app.
Create a new Shortcut by hitting the ‘+’ button on the top right corner.
Press “Add Action” and select “Set Torch”
Now, select the “Toggle” option after tapping the “Turn” word. (Note: You can even adjust the brightness while saving the setting.)
Tap on the “Preferences” icon in the top right corner.
Select the “Add to Home Screen” option and then add the name and Icon for the shortcut before hitting the final “Add” button.
These are some possible ways to turn off the flashlight on iPhone 13. However, you can use these ways on all iPhone devices using Face ID. If you have any questions, then do let us know via the comments.
