OnePlus 2-in-1 SUPERVOOC Cable Specifications

The cable measures 120cm in length and supports up to 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging when used to charge a phone alone. When used for simultaneous charging, the cable can deliver 67W to a smartphone and 10W to a smartwatch, allowing users to power up both devices at the same time without compromising significantly on speed.

One end of the cable features a standard USB-A connector, while the other end splits into two outputs, a USB-C plug for phones and a magnetic POGO pin connector designed specifically for OnePlus smartwatches. The magnetic connector attaches securely to the back of the watch with two gold charging pins and eliminates the need to carry a separate watch charger during travel.

OnePlus has included an E-marker smart chip inside the cable to provide protection against overloading and ensure stable power delivery. The cable also uses thickened pure copper cores to enhance both charging speed and safety. Its cable design is coated in bright red, while the white connector housings maintain the signature OnePlus aesthetic.

The 2-in-1 SUPERVOOC Cable is compatible with select OnePlus devices and is tailored for users who already use both a OnePlus smartphone and a OnePlus smartwatch. It is not designed to work with wearables from other brands.

In related news, the OnePlus Nord CE 5 has received its first OxygenOS update, adding Mind Space and new gaming features. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13 has picked up a new ColorOS update that brings camera improvements, AI enhancements, and more.

Why You Should Wait for the iPhone 17 Series

With every new iPhone launch, Apple fans are faced with the same question: upgrade now or wait? If you’re on the fence about buying any of the recent iPhones, like the iPhone 15 or iPhone 16, you might want to hold out until Apple launches the iPhone 17 series later this month. Based on early reports and reliable leaks, the iPhone 17 line could bring some notable changes and upgrades in years.

1. A Major Redesign Is on the Horizon?

iPhone 17 Pro

The iPhone 17 series is expected to feature a refreshed design. Recent reports revealed the design of the iPhone 17 Pro in leaked hands-on images. Apple is getting rid of the flat frame in favor of more rounded corners (similar to older iPhones), with the module on the rear becoming a large rectangular camera island.

It is unclear if this design language is standard across the series, but leaks have hinted at a smaller pill shaped cutouts on the front, thinner bezels, and a lighter chassis as well. Interestingly, Apple is moving back to aluminum for all devices for the frame as well as the horizontal bar on the back. The standard iPhone 17 could retain the simpler and smaller camera modules.

2. Introducing the iPhone 17 Air?

Apple iPhone 17 Air

Apple offers four models in its annual flagship lineup that included the standard, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max. But it might shake things up this year with a new iPhone 17 Air. The base iPhone 17 is still a standard model, with the iPhone 17 Air replacing the iPhone 16 Plus with a 6.5-inch display and a super slim 5.4mm body. Meanwhile,, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are the flagship grade models.

3. 120Hz Displays All Around

Apple iPhone 17 Pro
iPhone 17 Pro Case Leak

Last year’s iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus with 60Hz displays were absolutely disappointing, especially considering their premium price tags. Apple is expected to finally rumored to bring a 120Hz refresh rate on the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air, giving all four models a smoother refresh rate. Rumors have also hinted at a new anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating for all iPhone 17 displays.

4. Better Cameras

iPhone 17 Pro

While the non-Pro models are getting a higher refresh rate panel, the major upgrade for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to be their cameras. Both models might get an improved 48MP telephoto lens with a 3.5x zoom (down from 5x on its predecessor). While this could appear like a downgrade, Apple might have the right idea, as these could enable the telephoto shooter to be more practical for portrait shots. Another upgrade that is universal to all four models is a new 24MP selfie shooter.

Exynos 2500 skipped for Z Fold7; Exynos 2600 still unconfirmed for Galaxy S26

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in January 2026 — but the question of which chip will power the new flagships remains open. With Samsung pushing its in-house Exynos chips for more devices, a recent comment from a key executive has stirred fresh speculation about the Galaxy S26’s processor lineup.

At the NAEK Young Festival in Seoul, Park Yong-in, President of Samsung System LSI, spoke about the development of the Exynos 2600. While he sounded confident about the chip’s progress, Park stopped short of confirming whether it would be used in the Galaxy S26 series.

Earlier this year, Samsung MX — the mobile division — surprised many by using the Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip7 and the Exynos 2400 in the Z Flip7 FE, breaking from its usual reliance on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors. Park said the Exynos 2600 was “progressing well” and hinted at “good results” ahead, but made it clear that MX will make the final call on whether the chip makes it into the S26 lineup.

The fact that the multitasking-focused Z Fold7 still relies on a Snapdragon flagship suggests the Exynos 2500 fell short of Samsung’s performance or efficiency expectations. So far, there’s been little convincing evidence of significant gains with the Exynos 2600 either — likely a key reason why the mobile division has yet to lock in a deal with System LSI, Samsung’s chipmaking arm.

Samsung had originally planned to use the Exynos 2500 for the Galaxy S25 series, only to scrap it in favor of the Snapdragon 8 Elite due to yield problems. The Exynos 2600 is reportedly facing similar yield concerns, with production rates still falling short of the 70% mark needed for mass production.

Meanwhile, Samsung MX is increasingly sourcing key components from external suppliers. The Galaxy S25, for example, used Micron memory chips instead of Samsung’s own — a trend that may continue with the S26 series. If production challenges persist, Samsung may once again turn to Qualcomm (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2) for the Galaxy S26, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra — good news for users prioritizing performance and battery life.

Samsung reclaims top spot in global smartphone market amid fierce competition

Samsung has retaken the lead in the global smartphone market for Q2 2025, edging out rivals in a fiercely contested space, according to IDC’s latest report. The South Korean tech giant shipped 58 million smartphones in the quarter, claiming a 19.7% market share — a 7.9% increase over the same period last year when it moved 53.8 million units.

Galaxy Z Fold 7

Apple followed in second place with 46.4 million shipments, securing a 15.7% share. While that’s up slightly from last year, it’s a noticeable drop from Q1 2025 — likely a result of buyers holding off for the upcoming iPhone 17 series launch this September.

Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A36 and A56 models reportedly played a key role in this growth, thanks to AI-powered features offered at competitive prices, per IDC. However, the company’s Q2 figures were slightly down from Q1 2025’s 60.6 million shipments, when the Galaxy S25 series saw strong early demand.

Xiaomi secured third place with 42.5 million units shipped (14.4% market share), while Vivo and Transsion (which owns Infinix, Itel, and Tecno) rounded out the top five with 27.1 million and 25.1 million units shipped, respectively — both holding a 9.2% share.

Overall, the global smartphone market grew by 1% year-over-year to 295.2 million units in Q2, marking the eighth straight quarter of growth despite lingering economic concerns. Samsung’s latest flagship and foldable launches — including the Galaxy S25 Edge, Z Flip7, Z Flip7 FE, and Z Fold7 — are aimed at strengthening its premium segment, though it remains to be seen how much impact they’ll have.

Samsung’s ability to balance competitive mid-range offerings with flagship innovation helped it reclaim the top spot in Q2 2025. Whether it can hold on as rivals step up their game will be one to watch in the coming months.

Honor launches Earbuds A Pro with 49dB ANC and 42-hour battery life for just $20

Alongside the debut of its new X70 smartphone, Honor also rolled out a new pair of wireless earbuds tonight, the Honor Earbuds A Pro. These are an affordable set of wireless buds that focus on delivering the essentials rather than anything extra.

Honor Earbuds A Pro Specifications

The Earbuds A Pro offer 49dB active noise cancellation, which is deeper than what’s found on most budget wireless earbuds. Honor claims that the earbuds utilize AI-assisted noise reduction to enhance call clarity by intelligently filtering out background sound. 

For audio, each earbuds are fitted with a 12.4mm dynamic driver, which Honor says is tuned for “surging sound” and “pure original audio.” Surprisingly, they also have spatial audio support, though it’s not clear whether this is hardware-based or simply a software-driven effect.

Battery life is where Honor seems to be trying to win over users. The company says you’ll get 9 hours of use on a single charge, and up to 42 hours with the charging case. A quick 10-minute top-up reportedly delivers 3 hours of listening time, which is fairly typical for modern earbuds.

The earbuds weigh 5.3 grams each, while the charging case adds 37.2 grams to the overall heft. Other features include IP54 dust and splash resistance, support for tap controls (double-tap, triple-tap, long-press, etc.), and a software companion app for locating lost earbuds.

They use Bluetooth 5.3 for pairing, and users with Honor devices will also benefit from fast pairing via a smart pop-up window and cloud-synced connection records that help skip re-pairing when switching phones.

Price and Availability

Priced at 149 yuan (around $20), the Honor Earbuds A Pro are now officially available for purchase in China from the company’s official site. They come in three color options: white, purple, and green.

China’s MIIT proposes stricter standards for power banks to address safety concerns

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China has proposed new mandatory national standards for power banks. The move comes amid growing concerns over the safety of lithium-ion battery-powered portable chargers.

According to a report from China, the proposed standards are part of a draft revision of the “Safety Technical Specification for Mobile Power Supplies.” MIIT is currently seeking public feedback on the plan. The new guidelines aim to improve product reliability and user safety by introducing tougher safety tests and regulatory oversight.

Anker-321-Portable-Power-Bank

The revised standards include extreme stress tests such as overcharging, puncture, compression, and thermal abuse. These additions build upon existing safety requirements for lithium-ion batteries used in power banks. The proposal also plans to regulate key production processes and critical materials used in battery cells and packs. MIIT will also evaluate how power banks perform after long-term use and aging.

The push for stricter regulation follows a global rise in power bank-related incidents. In the United States, Anker has recalled around 1.16 million units of its PowerCore 10000 (model A1263) sold between June 2016 and December 2022. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 19 incidents involving overheating, fire, or explosion. These events caused minor injuries and over $60,000 in property damage.

Australia has also raised concerns. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued 17 power bank recalls since 2020, with 34,000 faulty units still in use. Experts attribute the rise in safety risks to weak regulations and growing demand for portable charging devices. Airlines have also started tightening rules after a recent in-flight fire was linked to a power bank.

The MIIT proposal aims to address these issues by setting a higher safety benchmark for all mobile power products sold in China. If implemented, the new standards could influence global manufacturers and lead to stricter international safety norms.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold almost confirmed to be the first foldable with an IP68 rating

Google’s gearing up to launch its Pixel 10 series, and like last year, it’s bringing a foldable companion along for the ride. While we already expected the standard Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, a fresh leak has now detailed nearly everything about the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

First off, battery life is getting a massive upgrade. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is reportedly packing a 5,015mAh cell, making it not just larger than last year’s 4,650mAh Pixel Fold but also comfortably outpacing the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s 4,400mAh battery. 

Interestingly, Google is sticking with a lithium-ion battery, unlike the newer silicon-carbon cells used by some Chinese foldables.

Not much of an upgrade in design

In terms of design, the Pixel 10 Fold doesn’t stray far from its predecessor. The outer cover display is now slightly larger at 6.4 inches, while the main inner screen stays at 8 inches. One upgrade for the display is that it is expected to reach a peak brightness of 3,000 nits vs 2,700 nits on the predecessor.

Both the inner and cover displays house 10MP selfie cameras, while the rear camera array includes a 48MP main sensor, a 10.5MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Under the hood, Google is expected to debut its first 3nm Tensor chip—the Tensor G5—paired with 16GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. 

And perhaps the most impressive upgrade is that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is tipped to be the first foldable phone with an IP68 rating. That means it’s both dust- and water-resistant. For comparison, the Fold 7 has IP48 protection while the Vivo X Fold 5 is IP58/IP59+ rated.

Tesla launches Model Y in India starting at Rs. 60.99 lakh, with deliveries from late 2025

Tesla has officially launched the Model Y electric SUV in India, marking the company’s long-anticipated debut in the country. The launch follows a teaser released last week and coincides with the opening of Tesla’s first Experience Centre in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex.

Tesla will offer two rear-wheel drive variants of the Model Y. Bookings are now open on the official website, and deliveries are scheduled to begin later this year. The base Rear-Wheel Drive variant will start shipping in Q3 2025, while the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive model will be available from Q4 2025. Initial deliveries will be limited to Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram.

Tesla Model Y

The Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive is priced at ₹60,99,690 (on-road), while the Long Range version costs ₹69,07,690. These prices include registration and taxes but may vary depending on state regulations.

The Model Y features a minimal exterior design with updated front and rear lightbars, a panoramic glass roof, and acoustic laminated glass to reduce road noise. Inside the cabin, Tesla has included soft-touch materials, ambient lighting, and aluminum trim. The dashboard features a 15.4-inch central touchscreen and an 8-inch display for rear passengers.

Both variants include heated and ventilated front seats, heated and power-reclining second-row seats, and dual-zone climate control. Tesla claims the standard Model Y offers a WLTP range of 500 km and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. The Long Range model increases the range to 622 km and completes the same sprint in 5.6 seconds.

The Model Y supports Tesla’s digital ecosystem, which includes Tesla Theater for streaming, Tesla Arcade for in-car gaming, and app-based remote controls. Standard features also include a 9-speaker sound system, dashcam and Sentry Mode, Bluetooth rear seat controls, and route-aware charging suggestions.

Tesla Model Y

Safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Avoidance. Tesla has included eight external cameras, including a new front-facing unit, to support future software-based driver-assist upgrades.

Customers can opt for additional upgrades such as exterior paint options priced between ₹95,000 and ₹1,95,000, a Black and White interior for ₹95,000, and Full Self-Driving Capability for ₹6,00,000.

Tesla plans to expand its presence across metro cities in India, including New Delhi. The company also aims to build local support infrastructure such as service centers, delivery hubs, and charging stations.

Tesla’s pricing in India remains significantly higher than in the U.S., where the Model Y starts at $44,990. The price increase is largely due to high import duties and luxury taxes. Tesla has not yet confirmed any plans for local manufacturing, which would make the Model Y eligible for lower import duties under India’s new EV policy.

Samsung Fold5 to Fold7: Has The Phone Truly Evolved or Is It Just Polished Refinement?

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series has come a long way in redefining the foldable phone experience. With the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung pushes boundaries even further,  but how much of an upgrade is it over the Fold5, which was launched in 2023? This comparison matters for users deciding between a discounted Fold5 and the cutting-edge Fold7, weighing future-proof features against value.

1. Design and Display

Galaxy Z Fold7
Galaxy Z Fold7

Build and Feel:
The Galaxy Z Fold7 refines Samsung’s foldable design further by reducing the thickness and weight while introducing stronger materials. The advanced Armor Aluminum frame is now paired with a more durable Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2 and a titanium plate for inner support. It also upgrades the water and dust resistance to IP48, a noticeable leap from Fold5’s IPX8 water-only protection. While both models retain a premium feel, the Fold7 is more durable and compact. The reduced bulk, coupled with higher resistance, makes Fold7 better suited for long-term use in real-world conditions.

Display Quality:
The Fold7 steps up the main display to 8.0 inches with a brighter 2600 nits peak LTPO AMOLED 2X panel, compared to Fold5’s 7.6-inch screen. It also brings improvements to the cover display, making it wider and sharper (6.5″ at 1080p vs 6.2″ at 904p). Color accuracy, brightness, and responsiveness are all superior on the Fold7. Additionally, the titanium plate improves structural support, reducing visible creasing.

Verdict:
Galaxy Z Fold7 wins with better durability, brighter and wider displays, and meaningful material upgrades, making it the more refined and practical foldable for daily use.

2. Specifications 

Galaxy Z Fold5
Galaxy Z Fold5

Performance:
The Fold7 debuts the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a custom-tuned 3nm chip with significantly faster CPU (Oryon V2 Phoenix) and GPU (Adreno 830). It’s built for longevity with 7 years of software updates and One UI 8. Fold5, while capable with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, is a step behind in AI processing, sustained performance, and update policy. Fold7 also offers up to 1TB with 16GB RAM, compared to Fold5’s max 12GB RAM.

Battery and Charging:
Both devices feature a 4400 mAh battery with identical wired (25W) and wireless (15W) charging speeds. However, the Fold7 includes Qualcomm QC 2.0 support and improved thermal efficiency, allowing more consistent charging rates. Battery optimization on the newer chip also helps extend screen-on time slightly despite the larger display.

Verdict:
The Fold7 is the clear leader in performance due to its next-gen chip, longer support lifecycle, and better RAM options. Battery life is nearly identical, but Fold7 edges out with improved efficiency.

3. Camera

Galaxy Z Fold7

Main and Secondary Lenses:
Fold7 features a massive leap with a 200MP primary sensor (vs 50MP on Fold5), offering more detail, better dynamic range, and superior low-light capabilities. Telephoto and ultrawide lenses retain similar specs on both phones, but Samsung improved multi-directional PDAF and OIS handling in Fold7. It supports advanced video features like 10-bit HDR and 960fps at 720p. Fold5 delivers solid photography, but Fold7’s pro-level sensor takes a clear lead, especially for enthusiasts and creators.

Selfie Camera:
Both have a 10MP cover selfie shooter with similar specs, but Fold7 improves front camera AI processing and clarity in HDR situations. The under-display camera inside Fold5 (4MP) is still underwhelming, and Samsung doesn’t significantly change it in Fold7, but compensates with software upgrades.

Verdict:
The Fold7 has a vastly superior rear camera system, particularly in the primary lens. For users prioritizing photography, the Fold7 is the stronger choice. Front camera performance is comparable but benefits from software refinements.

4. Pricing

Galaxy Z Fold5
Galaxy Z Fold5

The Galaxy Z Fold7 launches at approximately $1999, while the Galaxy Z Fold5 now retails around $1800. The $200 difference reflects significant upgrades: a more durable body, a flagship-level 200MP camera, brighter displays, a superior processor, and extended Android support. For users looking for future-proofing, the Fold7 justifies the premium. However, Fold5 remains a solid choice for those wanting foldables at a slightly lower cost.

5. Conclusion

Galaxy Z Fold7
Galaxy Z Fold7

The Fold7 brings Circle to Search, a smarter Galaxy AI interface, Titanium support, IP48 protection, and 7 years of Android updates, all firsts for foldables. It also includes UWB support, improved haptics, and next-gen Wi-Fi 7 for better connectivity. While the Fold5 was a refined step from earlier Folds, the Fold7 redefines the category with meaningful hardware and software improvements across the board.

Verdict:
Choose the Galaxy Z Fold7 for the most powerful, future-ready foldable experience. If you’re upgrading from a Fold3 or earlier, it’s a huge leap. The Fold5, though still competent, is best suited for those prioritizing value and don’t need the top-tier camera or chipset.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 marks a true evolution over the Fold5, combining significant upgrades in build quality, camera hardware, AI features, and long-term software support to redefine what a premium foldable can deliver.

Galaxy Z Fold7 vs Fold6: Is the Upgrade Worth It?

With the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung aims to push foldable innovation even further, building on the solid foundation of the Fold6. This comparison matters because it highlights whether the new features, performance upgrades, and design refinements in the Fold7 truly justify its premium price, or if the Fold6 still holds strong as a better-value flagship foldable.

1. Design and Display

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
Galaxy Z Fold7

Build and Feel:
The Fold7 upgrades to an Advanced Armor aluminum frame and introduces Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2 on the front and back, enhancing scratch resistance and durability. The titanium plate layer inside also adds structural strength without increasing weight. Fold7 is lighter than Fold6 despite being slightly larger. In contrast, Fold6 retains Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and uses Armor Aluminum. The Fold7 feels more premium and refined, particularly with its lighter chassis. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is retained on both.

Display Quality:
Both models use foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panels with 120Hz refresh rates and a peak brightness of 2600 nits. However, the Fold7 slightly enlarges the inner display to 8.0 inches (vs. 7.6″) and improves the resolution. It also includes a new cover display glass, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, offering better protection. The sharper resolution and brighter, more immersive display on the Fold7 offer a visibly better experience for multitasking and media.

Verdict:
The Fold7 delivers meaningful upgrades in build and display, including a larger screen, better materials, and lighter weight, making it feel more premium and durable than the Fold6.

2. Specifications 

Galaxy Z Fold6
Galaxy Z Fold6

Performance:
The Fold7 runs on the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm), with a significantly more powerful octa-core CPU featuring Oryon V2 cores and an upgraded Adreno 830 GPU. This is a major leap over the Fold6’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The Fold7 is built for sustained performance in multitasking and productivity apps, and it supports up to 16GB of RAM, while the Fold6 maxes out at 12GB. For power users, Fold7 handles workloads better and should remain smoother longer into its lifecycle.

Battery and Charging:
Both models share the same 4400mAh battery with identical charging specs, 25W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse wireless. There’s no change in capacity or charging speed. However, Fold7’s Snapdragon 8 Elite is more efficient due to its 3nm architecture, so real-world endurance may see minor gains. This could translate to a longer screen-on time under productivity usage.

Verdict:
Fold7 wins on performance due to its next-gen chipset and higher RAM option. While battery specs remain identical, the more efficient processor may offer slightly better endurance.

3. Camera

Galaxy Z Fold7
Galaxy Z Fold7

Main and Secondary Lenses:
The Fold7 significantly upgrades the primary sensor to a 200MP camera with a larger sensor and advanced PDAF and OIS, compared to Fold6’s 50MP sensor. This allows for superior detail, dynamic range, and low-light performance. The telephoto and ultrawide cameras remain close in resolution, but Fold7 offers a broader field of view and improved autofocus. For content creators or advanced photography, the Fold7 is a substantial step up.

Selfie Camera:
Fold6 continues using an under-display 4MP camera for the inner screen, which struggles with quality. Fold7 opts for a more practical 10MP regular selfie shooter on the inside, sacrificing invisibility for clarity. The cover selfie cameras are similar in specs, but Fold7 offers better image tuning. Fold7’s approach favors quality over aesthetics, which benefits video calls and selfies.

Verdict:
Fold7 is superior in camera hardware, especially with its massive 200MP sensor and practical selfie setup. It better suits users prioritizing photography and video.

4. Pricing

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is priced at approximately $1999, while the Fold6 launched at $1899. The $100 difference is justified by a dramatically improved primary camera, a next-gen processor, more premium materials, and a lighter body. For users upgrading from older foldables or power users, Fold7 offers better long-term value. However, budget-conscious users who don’t need the cutting-edge camera or chip may still find the Fold6 competitive.

5. Conclusion 

Galaxy Z Fold7
Galaxy Z Fold7

Fold7 brings several unique upgrades that refine the foldable experience. It’s a titanium layer for internal screen protection, a lighter build with better materials, Circle to Search support, and a vastly improved 200MP main camera. The use of Snapdragon 8 Elite and up to 16GB RAM makes it future-proof for power users. While the Fold6 remains a solid device with excellent performance and display, it lacks the technological leaps that Fold7 introduces.

Verdict:
Choose the Galaxy Z Fold7 if you want cutting-edge performance, superior cameras, and the most refined foldable Samsung has made to date. Stick with the Fold6 if you want to save $100 and don’t need the extreme camera or processing upgrades.

Overall, the Galaxy Z Fold7 stands out as the smarter investment, delivering major upgrades in performance, camera, and durability that justify its slightly higher price.
