Apple conducted its annual fall event today. As usual, the Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled the latest generation iPhone 16 series and Watch Series 10. The company also announced the AirPods 4, a much-needed upgrade to the AirPods 3 that debuted way back in 2021. This time, Apple has released two models of AirPods 4 – one is an entry-level offering and the other is a regular option.
Apple AirPods 4 arrives in two models
The AirPods 4 retain the same design as the predecessor models including a semi-in-ear stem and silicone ear tips. Apple says that the latest earphones will offer a better fit for most people’s ears. They are IPX4-rated water-resistant. You still get to perform various functions by tapping on the stem of the earbuds. Now, users also get the option to nod yes or shake a no to respond to Siri and incoming calls.
In terms of audio, the AirPods 4 features Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking for an immersive sound experience. The budget model lacks ANC whereas the premium offering comes with active noise cancellation that was previously exclusive to the AirPods Pro. The TWS earphones come with a Conversational mode that reduces the volume when you’re talking to somebody. The ANC version also packs transparency mode and adaptive audio. This gives interested customers more choices while purchasing depending on their usage preferences and budget. Both AirPods 4 models are equipped with an H2 chipset. It is said to improve battery life, personalise the listening experience, pair faster, and more.
The AirPods 4 are claimed to be backed by 30 hours of battery life with a storage case that supports wireless charging. With the latest offerings, Apple has also completed the shift to USB-C ports across all its devices. The earbuds are rated to offer 6.5 hours of usage.
The AirPods 4 duo come with several features including Find My, a revamped case with a built-in speaker, seamless audio switching, and more.
The AirPods 4 entry-level model costs $129 whereas the mid-tier variant carries a price tag of $179. The latter is priced the same as the AirPods 3. Pre-orders start today with sales commencing from September 20.
The Xiaomi 14T Pro is expected to launch sometime in September, aligning with the release of the Xiaomi 13T Pro (review) last year. In the latest news, PassionateGeekz has released a rendering of the device showcasing a refreshed camera island design.
The Xiaomi 14T Pro also appears to pack a total of three cameras on the back, just as its predecessor. However, the cameras and the flash module are now placed in a square layout as opposed to the triangular one of the Xiaomi 13T Pro. The Leica branding is also moved to the center from the bottom left of the camera island. The rendering also shows a relatively simpler camera island design as compared to the predecessor when it comes to the edges.
Xiaomi 13T Pro
Moving on to the front, the render shows a very similar design with slightly slimmer bezels. The placement of Xiaomi branding on the back and buttons on the sides also appears to remain identical as compared to the predecessor.
What we know so far:
According to a previous leak, the camera setup equips the LEICA VARIO-SUMMILUX 1:1.6-2.2/15-60 ASPH lenses. The main camera reportedly adopts the 1.1.31″ Light Fusion 900 sensor.
The 12GB + 512GB version of the Xiaomi 14T Pro is expected cost around €899, while the 12GB + 256GB version of the standard Xiaomi 14T is said to be priced at only €649. While the specific storage and memory options are still unclear, we know that the standard and Pro model will power the Dimensity 8300-Ultra and the Dimensity 9300+ chips respectively.
The Xiaomi 14T Pro has already received NBTC certification and has appeared on Geekbench. The phone will pack a 6.67″ 1.5K display and will support 144Hz refresh rate (same as the predecessor). Although it will support a higher (4000 nits vs 2600 nits) peak brightness. in the inside it packs a 5000 mAh battery and it also IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
We were at IFA Berlin this year, scoping out some of the coolest tech on display. A lot of consumer brands showed up at the event, flexing their best gear and dropping new launches.
Here’s a quick look at Best standout products that we spotted at IFA Berlin 2024:
Switchbot brought their A-game with an air purifier table that doubles as a wireless charger at the event this year. This multi-tasking device serves as a charger, regular table, and air purifier all in one. It’s compatible with Qi wireless charging for both Android and iOS. The whole setup looked slick and would fit right in as a bedside table.
Switchbot also unveiled their K10+ Pro combo—the world’s tiniest robot vacuum paired with a lightweight cordless vacuum and a dual auto-emptying base station.
Honor dropped news of their AI Agent at the event, set to debut on the Magic 7 series. It’s exactly what it sounds like – an AI assistant that speeds up tasks on your phone. Imagine unsubscribing from a service with just a voice command; the AI takes care of the legwork and brings you straight to the final unsubscribe button for confirmation. The brand teased a bunch of tasks during the keynote, so we’re excited to see how well this feature performs at launch.
The Honor Magic V3 is hands down one of the sickest foldables out there right now. It’s the thinnest foldable you can get your hands on—stack it next to a regular smartphone, and you’ll barely notice a difference in thickness. That alone is impressive, but also factor in the massive outer and inner displays, solid build quality, and sweet color options, and you’ve got yourself a top-notch foldable.
I wasn’t expecting much from the MagicBook Art 14, but getting hands-on with it changed my mind real quick. The sleek design, featherlight body, and matte finish blew me away. Sitting next to my MacBook, the 14-inch MagicBook felt way more compact. The cherry on top? The removable magnetic camera you can flip around to record yourself or the person across from you during meetings. Now that’s cool and innovative.
Lenovo showed off a voice-controlled called Lenovo Auto-Twist laptop just before IFA Berlin. This prototype responds to voice commands – tell it to open, twist, or switch to tablet mode. I’m not sold on how practical this is, given how slow it moved after each command, but maybe they’ll refine it before the final product drops.
Keep in mind, Lenovo was MIA at IFA, so I couldn’t check out the prototype in action.
DJI’s Neo mini drone is their tiniest yet, aimed at the everyday enthusiast. Weighing in at just 135 grams, it’s the lightest in the series and comes packed with 6 shooting modes, smartphone controls, and a range up to 50m.
DJI had set up a mini arena for visitors to test fly the drone, showing how easy it is for average Joes to pilot this thing.
So there you have it – this was our roundup of the coolest tech we stumbled across at IFA Berlin 2024. Let me know if you found any other product that stood out at the event.
The Honor Magic V3 made its global debut at IFA 2024, introducing new innovations to the foldable smartphone segment. But how does it stack up against Samsung’s established premium foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 6? Here are three reasons why the Honor Magic V3 might just outshine the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
1. Honor Magic V3 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: Design & Display
One of the biggest innovations with the Magic V3 is the improvements in design. Honor didn’t throw a “fat” jab at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 for no reason. For those unaware, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm in thickness, while the Magic V3 is just 9.2mm thick. There is nearly 3mm in difference, which is quite a feat. You could even say that it’s a generation ahead of the competition. Honor is also claiming that the Magic V3 is rated to last 500,000 fold cycles.
This device also offers taller primary and cover screens compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Honor’s Magic V3 sports a 6.43-inch OLED external screen with curved edges offering an FHD+ resolution. The primary display is a 7.92-inch OLED panel that offers a resolution of 2,344 x 2,156 pixels. Both screens feature a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits. On the other hand, the Z Fold 6 features a 7.6-inch internal and a 6.3-inch external screen with a Dynamic AMOLED 2x panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It offers a 2160 x 1856 resolution on the primary screen, while the cover display has a 2376 x 968 resolution.

2. Bigger Battery & Faster Charging
The Magic V3 packs a large 5,150mAh battery pack, which is bigger than most foldable smartphones of its kind. This cell also supports 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. Both the charging and battery capacity once again outclasses the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Samsung’s flagship foldable phone packs a 4,400mAh battery unit with support for 25W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. So overall, you’re not just getting a bigger battery but the lesser down time since the Magic V3 charges faster. Processor and optimizing also play a role, but both models feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
3. Camera
Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a triple camera setup on the rear with a 50-megapixel primary sensor (OIS), a 10-megapixel telephoto shooter (OIS, 3x Zoom), and a 12-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. For selfies and video calls, users get a 10-megapixel shooter on the cover display and a 4-megapixel under display camera on the primary screen.
While these are quite capable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 falls short of the Galaxy S24 Ultra in camera despite being more expensive. The Magic V3 arrives with Honor’s Falcon Camera system. This consists of a 50-megapixel 1/1.56-inch main sensor (OIS), a 40-megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto unit (100x digital zoom, OIS). For selfies and video calls, it packs a 20MP camera on the internal and external screens.
Realme announced the Narzo 70 Turbo smartphone in India today. Alongside the brand also launched a new TWS earphone called the Realme Buds N1. They come with noise cancellation, an immersive listening experience, a long battery, and more. The audio device competes against the likes of the Redmi Buds 5, OnePlus Nord Buds, and more in the market. Read on to know what the Realme Buds N1 offer out of the box.
Realme Buds N1 specs
The Realme Buds N1 have an in-ear design with a stem and silicone ear tips for a secure and comfortable fit. It is IP55-certified dust and water-resistant. Users can perform a range of functions by tapping on the stem of the earbuds.
On the audio front, the Realme Buds N1 are equipped with a 12.4mm dynamic bass driver, a titanium diaphragm, and N52 magnets. The audio device features 46dB hybrid active noise cancellation for cancelling any unwanted noise. Each earbud has 3 microphones along with AI-driven call noise reduction using a DNN neural network algorithm for a clear quality on calls. The TWS earphones also come with Spatial Audio for a 360-degree immersive listening experience.
The Realme Buds N1 is backed by a 480mAh battery unit that is claimed offer 40 hours of life. Each earbud is said to offer 9 hours of usage with ANC disabled. The TWS earphones support Bluetooth 5.4 and dual-device connectivity for seamless switching.
The Realme Buds N1 costs Rs 2,499 but for a limited period can be purchased for Rs 1,999. It is available in a single Energizing Green color. The audio device can be purchased starting September 13 from the brand’s website and Amazon.
While the release of the Galaxy S25 series is still months away, several rumors have already surfaced, particularly about the Galaxy S25 Ultra. According to one of the precious rumors, the phone will feature an upgraded 50 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
50 MP ultrawide sensor for the Galaxy S25 Ultra
In a recent leak, tipster Ice Universe revealed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will sport a 50 MP ultrawide sensor. According to the tipster, the sensor measures 1/2.52″, with a pixel size of 0.7μm, and is paired with a wider f/1.9 aperture for better light capture.
For comparison, the current Galaxy S24 Ultra features a 12 MP ultrawide camera with a sensor size of 1/2.55″ and an aperture of f/2.2.
Possible benefits of the resolution upgrade
A 12 MP ultrawide sensor can’t meet the 33.2 MP minimum resolution requirement for 8K video recording. However, with the rumored 50 MP sensor, it would now be possible for the Galaxy S25 Ultra to support 8K video recording from both the main and ultrawide cameras. This upgrade would also enhance video stability due to the ultrawide lens’ wider field of view.
The higher 50 MP resolution brings several benefits, such as room for EIS stabilization when recording in 8K. However, a trade-off is that the field of view may become narrower. Nonetheless, pairing the ultrawide lens with digital stabilization could result in smoother 8K video output.
In addition to the 50 MP 3x telephoto and ultrawide cameras, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will retain the 50 MP 5x periscope telephoto and the 200 MP main camera from the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This setup could allow 8K video recording from all four rear cameras, with potential support for lens switching during recording.
The 50 MP ultrawide sensor will also allow for cropping photos without significant loss of detail, similar to what Samsung has showcased with its high-resolution main cameras.
The Oppo F27 5G was announced back in August, while the higher end F27 Pro+ dropped in India back in June. These are the brand’s latest mid range smartphones. Now, the Oppo F27 series is being sold for a limited time deal in the region, so here’s what you need to know.
The Chinese smartphone maker released the Oppo F27 5G for a starting price tag of 22,999 INR (8GB+128GB), while the F27 Pro+ starts from 22,999 INR (8GB+128GB). These were sold via retail outlets, Oppo Store, Amazon India, and Flipkart. Meanwhile, the 256GB variant costs 29,999 INR and 24,999 INR respectively.
As of right now, Oppo is a one time free screen replacement to cover accidental damage that buyers face within 180 days of buying the F27 Pro+. This deal is available for those who purchase the model from September 1 to September 15. There are also No-cost EMI options for up to 6 months, with consumer loans also available for up to 8 months from leading retail partners. But the biggest offer is the flat 10 percent instant cashback for HDFC and SBI credit and debit card holders.

2. Oppo F27 Series Specs
Oppo F27 Pro+
The Oppo F27 series launched with a premium leather rear on both models. On the other hand, the front sports an AMOLED display. Under the hood, the base variant is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC, while the higher end Pro version features the Dimensity 7050 chipset. A large 5,000mAh battery pack powers the duo, although these offer 45W wired fast charging on the F27 and 67W wired fast charging on the F27 Pro+. Oppo’s new F series phones were announced with various AI features like AI Writer, AI Recording Summary, AI Link Boost, AI Studio, AI Eraser 2.0, and more.

Just hours after Apple unveils its iPhone 16 lineup, Huawei is set to launch its tri-fold phone with the Mate XT Ultimate Design. And it seems Chinese consumers are already warming up to the idea.
Huawei opened pre-reservations for the Mate XT on September 7 and within just two days, the phone has already amassed a staggering 3 million reservations. That’s a clear sign of interest, even if it doesn’t necessarily translate to sales. If you’re interested, you can grab one by reserving before September 19 for the official launch on September 20.
Speaking of grabbing one, the Mate XT comes in four color options: Dark Black, Crimson Red, classic White, and a more adventurous Green. Storage-wise, you can choose between a hefty 16GB RAM paired with either 512GB or 1TB of storage.
Now, let’s talk specs (with a healthy dose of “allegedly”). Rumors suggest the Mate XT unfolds to reveal a massive 10-inch display, complete with a punch-hole selfie camera (rumored to be 8 megapixels).
On the back, the camera system is said to boast a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a periscope telephoto lens for those zoomed-in moments. Powering the whole thing is supposedly a Kirin 9-series chipset, though specifics remain under wraps.
As for the rest of the specs? We’re still in rumor territory. The price tag is also a mystery, although whispers point to a hefty 15,000 Yuan (roughly $2,100) in China. With that price and it being a first-gen foldable, Huawei might limit the Mate XT’s availability in its home market for now.
This wouldn’t be surprising, as durability concerns have plagued the early days of foldable phones. Huawei undoubtedly knows this, and we’ll have to wait for the official reveal on September 10th to see if they’ve addressed those concerns.
TCL has launched its new Thunderbird “Bluebird” 75-inch True Wallpaper TV in the Chinese market. The TV is priced at 6,989 yuan ($982) and is now available on JD.com. Let’s check out its key specs.

1. Galaxy S24 One UI 6.1.1 Update: Where is it available?

With the iPhone 16 launch kicking off the fall refresh cycle, Android manufacturers are gearing up for their own counterpunches.
OnePlus already confirmed the October launch of its Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered flagship, while the Xiaomi 15 series with the same SoC is also expected to arrive in the same month.
Now, a report by Wall Street Chinasuggests the X200 series will land in early October as well. But unlike its rivals, Vivo will take a different chip route.
The X200 series is expected to forgo the upcoming Snapdragon for MediaTek’s challenger, the Dimensity 9400.
The leaks suggest two models in the lineup: the standard X200 and the X200 Pro. The base model is expected to come with a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a respectable 1.5K resolution.
Camera-wise, we’re looking at a 50-megapixel 22nm Sony sensor for the main module, a periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens. It will be powered by a hefty 5,500mAh or 5,600mAh capacity and will support both wired and wireless charging.
Alleged Vivo X200 render by DCS
The X200 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to come with a curved 1.5K resolution 120Hz panel. The camera setup on the back will include a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, a 50-megapixel primary sensor with a large aperture (likely the same 22nm Sony sensor), and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens.
The X200 Pro may also pack a larger 6,000mAh battery. Rumors suggest it will include water resistance (rated IP68 or IP69) and an improved X-axis motor for better haptic feedback.
On the software side, both phones will come pre-loaded with Android 15-based Origin OS. There’s not much detail on the pricing yet, even in the leaks and rumors.
As expected, Realme today expanded its Narzo 70 lineup by launching the Narzo 70 Turbo in India. The new phone sits in an entry-level mid-range space with an emphasis on performance, especially for gaming. Let’s see if the Turbo lives up to its name.
Realme Narzo 70 Turbo Specifications
The Narzo 70 Turbo boasts the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset with a top clock speed of 2.5GHz for the prime Cortex-A78 core and Mali G615 GPU for graphics.
This is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Realme even throws in an additional 2GB of “Dynamic RAM” for a total of 14GB, although we doubt it will be any useful.
The phone’s biggest draw for gamers might be its new GT Mode. It includes performance optimization, faster game startup times, visual filters to enhance in-game visibility, and even a voice changer for some lighthearted fun.
The 120Hz refresh rate display with a 180Hz touch sampling rate further enhances the gaming experience.
The Narzo 70 Turbo isn’t all about gaming, though. Its 6.67-inch FHD+ Samsung E4 OLED display offers vibrant colors and sharp visuals for everyday use, protected by AG DT Star 2 glass for added scratch resistance. It has a Moto-Sport-inspired design on the back.
A 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging ensures you can stay powered through the day, while the inclusion of a microSD card slot provides expandable storage.
The camera system is a bit modest, featuring a 50MP primary sensor with a secondary 2MP sensor. While it won’t compete with high-end flagships, it should be sufficient for capturing decent everyday photos. A 16MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video calls.
Realme throws in some bonus features to sweeten the deal. The phone boasts IP65 water and dust resistance for added peace of mind, and a 6050 mm2 stainless steel VC cooling system promises to keep things from overheating during intense gaming sessions. There’s also a rain-detection mode that adjusts touch sensitivity for wet conditions, dual stereo speakers for immersive audio, and a TUV SUD certification for lag-free gaming.
Price and Availability
The Narzo 70 Turbo starts at Rs 16,999 for the base 6GB/128GB variant. The higher 8/128GB and 12/256GB models have retail prices of Rs 17,999 and Rs 20,999 respectively.
Realme is also offering a Rs 2,000 discount coupon, bringing the effective starting price down to Rs 14,999. The phone goes on sale from September 16th via Amazon and Realme’s official website in three color options: Turbo Yellow, Turbo Purple, and Turbo Green.

Samsung‘s upcoming flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S10, is generating plenty of buzz. While we’re expecting a usual hardware refresh for the tablets, a new detail has surfaced that suggests Samsung might be taking inspiration from a competitor – Microsoft.
According to a report by WinFuture, Samsung may add a dedicated “Galaxy AI key” to the Tab S10’s keyboard accessory, possibly drawing from Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs, which feature a similar AI button.
WinFuture also shared a mockup (not an official image) showing the Galaxy AI key replacing the right Ctrl button on the keyboard. However, it’s still unclear what this button will do — whether it will activate the entire Galaxy AI feature suite or focus on a specific one.
The report suggests that many of the new features coming to Galaxy devices with One UI 6.1.1 will also be available on the Tab S10. A dedicated button would certainly make these features more accessible to users.
While the AI key is a fresh addition, the Tab S10’s overall design likely won’t see major changes. Leaks suggest that Samsung will stick with its familiar style, including a vertical dual-camera setup on the back and a notched display with a selfie camera on the Ultra model.
As for pricing, the Ultra and Plus versions of the Tab S10 are unlikely to be budget-friendly. The Tab S10 Plus is rumored to start at around $1,400 and can go as high as $1685 for the 5G variant.
The Ultra model, on the other hand, is rumored to be priced $1660 for the base 12/512GB variant while the top–tier model with 5G support will go as high as $2350.
While it’s still not confirmed, the Galaxy Tab S10 series is expected to launch sometime in October.
Apple‘s annual September event, “It’s Glowtime,” is just around the corner, and reliable leaker Mark Gurman has shared some last-minute predictions on what we might see at the event on Bloomberg.
The main focus will be on the iPhone 16 lineup, and Apple is expected to give the Apple Watch a refresh. Gurman now suggests we might also see an updated AirPods Max, essentially a Gen 2 version.
Gurman previously cast doubt on the Gen 2 appearing at the event, citing Apple’s healthy stock of the first-gen AirPods Max. However, it seems his sources have provided a fresh update. So, what can we expect from the new over-ear headphones?
According to Gurman, the main focus will be on improved audio performance, with better active noise cancellation (ANC) and the addition of adaptive audio features. ANC has been a key selling point for AirPods Max, and Apple seems keen to improve its lead in this area.
Meanwhile, adaptive audio, a feature already enjoyed by AirPods Pro users, dynamically adjusts the sound profile based on your surroundings for an optimal listening experience. Another major change Gurman points out is the long-rumored switch from the Lightning port to USB-C.
Don’t expect a full design overhaul, though. Previous reports suggest that the overall look and feel of the AirPods Max Gen 2 will remain mostly the same. There may be some new color options, but the core design is likely to stay unchanged.
In addition to the AirPods Max, we’re also expecting a significant update for the standard AirPods, with two new AirPods 4 models rumored, including one featuring active noise cancellation.
