Noise Air Buds Pro 6 Launched with 49dB ANC, LHDC, 43h playtime & 12.4mm drivers

Indian audio brand Noise has unveiled its latest TWS offering — the Noise Air Buds Pro 6, a feature-packed addition to its growing lineup of affordable wireless earbuds. As the direct successor to the Air Buds 6 launched earlier this year, the new Pro 6 version significantly raises the bar in terms of audio quality, smart features, and noise control, all while staying within the budget segment.

Noise Air Buds Pro 6

Noise Air Buds Pro 6 Specifications

At the heart of the Air Buds Pro 6 are 12.4mm Titanium + PEEK drivers, delivering punchy bass, rich mids, and improved durability. The inclusion of Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that suppresses up to 49dB of ambient sound marks a significant improvement over the 32dB ANC in the previous model, making these ideal for noisy environments like public transport or bustling streets.

In terms of sound fidelity, the Air Buds Pro 6 goes a step further with support for LHDC codec, enabling 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution audio at up to 990 kbps—nearly three times higher than traditional SBC codecs. This translates into richer, more detailed sound with better depth and spatial awareness. The addition of spatial audio enhances the immersive quality, especially while gaming or watching movies.

Call quality has also been improved thanks to a Quad Mic Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) setup, which filters out background noise to ensure voice clarity during calls. Like the Air Buds 6, the new model is also expected to support customizable settings via the Noise BudsLink app, enabling users to adjust EQ levels, remap touch controls, switch between ANC modes, and use voice prompts such as “Hey headphones, ANC on” for hands-free operation.

Design-wise, the earbuds feature a sleek metalised paint finish and an in-ear style that’s complemented by IPX5 water resistance, making them suitable for both workouts and rainy day commutes. They also support Low Latency Mode (50ms) for gamers, Dual Device Pairing, Hyper Sync, Google Fast Pair, and In-Ear Detection for auto-play/pause functionality.

Battery performance sees a boost as well. The earbuds offer up to 7 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the case—bringing the total to an impressive 50 hours. Thanks to InstaCharge, just 10 minutes of charging delivers up to 150 minutes of playtime, making them a great option for quick power-ups before heading out.

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 vs Snapdragon 8s Gen 3: What’s Actually Different?

Qualcomm’s latest upper-midrange silicon, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, is here, and it sits just under the newly introduced “Elite” tier in the company’s freshly layered mobile chip hierarchy. 

As expected, the Gen 4 chip doesn’t feature Qualcomm’s in-house Oryon CPU cores. That distinction is currently reserved for the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Instead, the 8s Gen 4 continues to rely on standard ARM designs, much like its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

But branding aside, the 8s Gen 4 does bring several platform-level changes that are worth noting. Here’s how it stacks up against the 8s Gen 3. 

1. CPU and GPU

The 8s Gen 4 sticks with TMSC’s 4nm node and ARM’s Cortex-CPU and Adreno GPU just like the Gen 3. But there are notable changes under the hood.

The new chip features an octa-core setup led by a Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.2GHz. It’s backed by seven Cortex-A720 cores—three running at 3.0GHz, two at 2.80GHz, and two at 2.02GHz. In contrast, the 8s Gen 3 has a Cortex-X4 at 3.0GHz, four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.8GHz, and three Cortex-A520 cores at 2.0GHz.

As you can notice, the Cortex-A520 cores that handled efficiency in previous generations are nowhere to be found. They are replaced by a full lineup of A720 cores. Paired with a higher-clocked prime core, this delivers 31% better CPU performance than its predecessor while using 39% less power. 

On the GPU side, both generations use Adreno, but Qualcomm hasn’t revealed version numbers yet. But it’s a big upgrade as the Adreno GPU here has sliced architecture like the one that debuted on 8 Elite. As a result, Qualcomm is claiming it can deliver a 49% graphical performance boost over the 8s Gen 3 GPU.  

You also get support for 8 Elite’s gaming features like Game Super Resolution 2.0 for 4k upscaling and global illumination for hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Gen 3 also has ray tracing but the Frame Motion Engine 2.0 can only double the frame rate from 60fps to 120fps. 

2. AI and On-Device Intelligence

Qualcomm has also made some notables changes in NPU on 8s Gen 4. To say the least, its Qualcomm AI Engine is said to improve AI performance by 44%. It has 2x larger shared memory pool that speeds up the user’s interaction with LLMs or LVMs.

It also introduces a dual-core Sensing Hub with always-sensing camera support, which powers use cases like face unlock and QR scanning — similar to the 8s Gen 3.

However, Gen 4’s ISP can now segment up to 250 layers in real-time, a big jump from 12 layers on Gen 3. This could have practical benefits in photo editing, object recognition, and live video processing.

3. Camera and Imaging

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 retains the Triple 18-bit Cognitive ISP from its predecessor. But it now supports photo capture up to 320MP versus 200MP ceiling on Gen 3. 

It also doubles 1080p slow-motion recording from 240fps to 480fps and adds a few AI-heavy camera features—like Night Vision 2.0 and real-time sky/skin tone correction for photos and videos.

4. Connectivity

This is one area where Gen 3 retains an edge on paper. It uses the Snapdragon X70 modem with up to 6.5Gbps peak download speeds, while the Gen 4’s integrated 5G modem tops out at 4.2Gbps. The Gen 3 also supports mmWave configurations like 8-carrier aggregation and 2×2 MIMO, making it technically more versatile for high-band 5G use.

Wi-Fi is tied — both chips support Wi-Fi 7 at 5.8Gbps via Qualcomm’s FastConnect system. However, Gen 4 uses Bluetooth 6.0 while Gen 3 still runs on Bluetooth 5.4. The bump to Bluetooth 6.0 may bring better audio stability and lower power usage, though real-world benefits remain to be seen.

5. Audio, Display, and Storage

Both platforms support Snapdragon Sound and spatial audio, including aptX Adaptive and Lossless. But Gen 4 also includes Qualcomm XPAN for broader audio coverage using Wi-Fi. 

There are no significant changes in terms of display. Both platforms support WQHD+ displays at 144Hz and external displays up to 4K 60Hz. Storage remains UFS 4.0, and memory is LPDDR5x clocked at 4800MHz.

6. Bottom Line

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 feels like a targeted refinement of its predecessor rather than a generational leap. Its value lies in its more capable AI processing, incremental gaming enhancements, and slightly upgraded connectivity. 

But it’s not all forward progress. The chip trades off-peak modem performance compared to the 8s Gen 3, which could matter for users focused on raw network speeds. Still, the 8s Gen 4 is a strong contender for premium Android phones that want advanced features without chasing benchmarks.

The Galaxy A36 wins on affordability and long-term support, making it a great option for budget-conscious buyers. But if you’re after better hardware, display brightness, and camera features, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro justifies its higher price.


5. Conclusion

The standout feature of the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is undoubtedly the Glyph Interface, which isn’t just for show, it functions as a notification alert system and a camera fill light. It also supports 26 addressable lighting zones, adding flair and utility. Additionally, the phone supports Ultra HDR visuals and a high-end selfie shooter.

The Galaxy A36, meanwhile, emphasizes software longevity. With 6 Android version upgrades, it easily outpaces Nothing’s 3-year promise. It also includes Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection on both sides, something rarely seen in mid-range phones, offering superior durability.

Both phones support the Circle to Search feature and offer stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and under-display fingerprint sensors. There’s no headphone jack or SD card slot on either, keeping them aligned with modern trends.

If you’re into standout features and want something visually unique with better hardware, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is more exciting. But for a long-lasting, reliable experience, Samsung’s extended software support and robust build are hard to ignore.

Casio Launches Full-Metal G-Shock GMCB2100D Series in the US

Casio released two new all-metal G-Shock watches in the US, the GMCB2100D-1A and GMCB2100D-2A. They’re both $800. These watches are based on the original 1983 G-Shock, with the same octagonal bezel, but they have updated features.

G-SHOCK GMCB2100

Both watches have a stainless steel case, bezel, band, and a one-touch clasp. They’re built to be tough, with a resin buffer inside to handle shocks, even though they’re metal. The bezel is made in several steps, with a specific finish on top and a shiny finish on the sides.

They measure 51.3 × 46.3 × 12.4 mm and weigh 171 grams. They’re water-resistant to 200 meters, shock-resistant, and have a screw-down crown that fits the bezel’s shape. These watches use solar power with Casio’s Tough Solar system, and the battery lasts up to 18 months in power-saving mode. They connect to phones via Bluetooth and the CASIO WATCHES app, which lets you automatically set the time, see the time in 300 cities, and find your phone.

They have a 1-second stopwatch with a 24-hour limit, a countdown timer from 1 minute to 24 hours, and a daily alarm. The LED backlight makes it easy to see in the dark. The calendar is programmed through 2099. The hands glow in the dark, and the watches show two time zones. The display has three hands and smaller dials for mode, battery level, day, and the second time zone.

In related news, Casio has introduced the G-Shock Move GMDB300SC series in the US, priced at $120 and available in turquoise, coral orange, and white.

The Best Robot Vacuum & Mop Combos of 2025

In 2025, robot vacuum cleaners have entered their final form — or at least it feels that way. What used to be a novelty tech gadget that quietly bumped into walls has evolved into a fleet of powerful, AI-driven machines that vacuum, mop, self-empty, and even wash their own mop pads.

This year’s top-tier models are basically home-cleaning robots that let you forget about vacuuming altogether. If you’re in the U.S. and shopping at the premium end of the spectrum, these are the best robot vacuum and mop combos that truly stand out.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni

Ecovacs-Deebot-X8-Pro-Omni

Ecovacs has long played in the premium space, but the Deebot X8 Pro Omni takes things to another level. This bot doesn’t just clean floors; it deep scrubs them with a roller mop that rinses itself mid-clean — something flat pads simply can’t do.

The Omni base station is a beast: it empties dust, refills water, adds detergent, washes the mop with hot water, and dries it with warm air. It’s truly autonomous. Combine that with 18,000 Pa suction and slick dToF LiDAR + AIVI 3D navigation, and you’ve got a robot that rarely needs human attention. The catch? It’s $1,299 and the base station is huge.

2. Roborock Saros 10R

Roborock-Saros-10R

The Roborock Saros 10R is what happens when you throw everything — AI, dual cameras, ridiculous suction — into an ultra-slim robot. At just over 3 inches tall, it glides under furniture where many bots can’t reach. Its StarSight 2.0 system ditches the LiDAR turret for dual front and rear cameras that scan your home with near surgical precision.

It maps in 3D, lifts its own components to avoid rugs, and can even send you photos of obstacles. Suction clocks in at 20,000 Pa, which is absurdly strong. At $1,599, it’s also the most expensive bot on this list, but the tech more than backs it up.

3. Narwal Freo Z Ultra

Narwal-Freo-Z-Ultra

Narwal’s Freo Z Ultra (check out our review) feels a bit like a robot butler. Armed with dual RGB cameras and AI processors, it navigates with confidence and dodges messes like socks, pet bowls, and cables in real time.

Its spinning mop pads apply decent pressure (1.2kg at 180 RPM) and the dock keeps them clean and dry with hot water and warm air. Suction is lower at 12,000 Pa, but it’s still solid. It’s also the only bot here with live pet monitoring features. At $1,499, it’s futuristic — both in design and ambition — but sometimes takes inefficient routes.

4. DreameTech X50 Ultra

DreameTech-X50-Ultra

The Dreame X50 Ultra feels like a flagship killer. It matches top players like Roborock in specs — 20,000 Pa suction, dual mop pads with edge-reach, LiDAR + AI-powered obstacle avoidance — but often comes in a few hundred dollars cheaper.

The MopExtend system cleans near walls better than most round robots, and its dual brushroll design handles pet hair like a champ. The retractable LiDAR sensor is clever, allowing it to squeeze under lower furniture. Priced around $1,299 (and often less), the X50 Ultra is arguably the best bang-for-buck premium vacuum-mop combo of the year.

5. Eufy X10 Pro Omni

Eufy-RoboVac-X10-Pro-Omni

Anker-owned Eufy might not have the prestige of Roborock or Ecovacs, but the X10 Pro Omni earns its spot by delivering near-flagship performance for under $900. It cleans with 8,000 Pa suction and dual pentagon-shaped mop pads that spin at 180 RPM.

Its AI.See 2.0 system, backed by dual cameras and night vision LED, recognizes over 100 obstacle types. It even has a compact dock that auto-empties and hot-dries the mop. It’s not the strongest, nor the smartest, but at this price, it’s hard to beat — especially if you want a smart, capable robot without a four-figure bill.
