Hisense is entering the art-imitating-television market with the CanvasTV, a matte display designed to double as a digital art piece when not in use. This concept might sound familiar – it’s similar to Samsung‘s The Frame TV, but with a significant price difference.
The CanvasTV comes in 55-inch and 65-inch models, starting at a budget-friendly $999 and $1,299 respectively. In comparison, The Frame starts at $1,499 for the same size. Despite the lower price tag, the CanvasTV boasts a 4K QLED display with anti-glare technology, just like its pricier competitor. It also ups the ante with a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals, an ambient light sensor for automatic adjustments, and multi-channel 2.0.2 surround sound.
To showcase artwork, the CanvasTV comes pre-loaded with various pieces in abstract, modern, and renaissance styles. You can easily switch between these and your own photos using the “Art Mode” button on the remote. The TV even has a motion sensor that turns off the display when the room is empty for added energy savings.
While LG offers a similar “Gallery Mode” on some TVs that allows displaying artwork (including NFTs), and other smart TV makers have dabbled in gallery apps, Hisense’s CanvasTV currently holds the title of the most affordable option in the US for those seeking a TV that seamlessly blends into the background as art.
The CanvasTV comes bundled with a wall mount and a teak frame. If that doesn’t suit your decor, interchangeable white and walnut frames are available for separate purchase. Look for the CanvasTV to hit store shelves this summer.

AppleInsider has shed light on potential AI features coming in iOS 18, aligning with CEO Tim Cook‘s promises. Siri takes center stage, gaining the ability to analyze and summarize text messages. This is reminiscent of prior reports of a similar “Intelligent Search” function for webpages in Safari.
Fueling these intelligent features is Apple’s in-house large language model (LLM) called Ajax. Research papers and AppleInsider’s report suggest a focus on on-device AI processing for iPhones. However, for complex requests, Ajax might rely on cloud servers, potentially involving partnerships with Google or OpenAI.
Privacy remains a priority. AppleInsider reports that users will be notified before Ajax utilizes data from Messages or Safari. Cook, during an earnings call, emphasized Apple’s enthusiasm for AI, hinting at “exciting things” while underlining privacy as a key advantage.
While new iPads might be unveiled at Apple’s upcoming event next Tuesday, we’ll likely have to wait until the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10th for a comprehensive look at Apple’s AI roadmap.

Ever worried about whether that government-affiliated app you downloaded is the real deal or just a data-stealing scam? Google is aiming to alleviate those concerns with the rollout of a new “Government” badge system on the Play Store.
The badge, essentially a tiny building icon, is now prominently displayed on government app listings, search results, and even the main Play Store feed.
When you tap on the badge, you’ll see a message confirming that the app is indeed affiliated with a government entity. It reads “Official government — Play verified this app is affiliated with a government entity.” It’s a pretty simple and effective way to know you’re dealing with a genuine government agency.
And this isn’t just for the US – Google will roll out the badge system globally. But it is currently active in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
According to a report from news outlet 9to5Google, the feature has been in the works for some time now. But getting that coveted government badge isn’t a walk in the park.
Government agencies must follow some rules like they must use official email addresses when creating developer accounts. And apps handling even more sensitive matters, like voting, will undergo additional verification before the app goes live on the Play Store. So far, over 3000 apps have earned the badge, but it’s just the beginning.
While Google is doing its part, it’s still wise to exercise caution when downloading apps – even if they don’t have the badge. For instance, you can check reviews and developer information to reduce the risk of downloading anything malicious or spammy.

Qualcomm has kept a tight lid on the specifics of their next flagship mobile processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. However, leaks and rumors have been surfacing continually, gradually revealing more details about it.
Just today, a leak revealed that the first phones equipped with this SoC may launch in October. Now in the second leak of the day, we have a video that surfaced on Bilibili (via @negativeonehero on Twitter) showing an engineering sample of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 undergoing benchmark testing.
During the benchmark test on AnTuTu, the SoC managed to score 1,769,083 points. It is even lower than the current-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
However, it’s likely because its an engineering sample of the SOC, and it’s also facing heavy CPU throttling which is another reason for lower-than-expected performance.
The biggest takeaway is that the video shows the core architecture of the CPU. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to feature a 2+6 core configuration, consisting of two high-performance cores and six efficiency cores.
The leaked video corroborates this, showing that the chip has two “Phoenix M” cores with a maximum clock speed of 2.4 GHz and “Phoenix L” cores capped at 1.939 GHz. Additionally, we can see the chip’s codename as “Sun for Arm x64.”
These clock speeds fall short of the previously rumored 4.2 GHz for the performance cores. However, it’s likely that these figures are specific to the engineering sample. It’s probable that Qualcomm will adjust these clock speeds in the final version of the chip.
We’ll have to wait for Qualcomm to reveal the final product and for independent reviews to get a clearer picture of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s true capabilities.

Sony’s Xperia product event is happening on May 17. The Japanese brand is expected to unveil the Xperia 1 VI flagship smartphone. The Xperia 10 VI is also expected to tag along at the event. Both upcoming offerings will arrive as the successors to last year’s Xperia 1 V and 10 V respectively. Leaks have revealed plenty of details about the Xperia 1 VI but not about the 10 V. Now, tipster Evan Blass (aka evleaks) has shared multiple press renders of the upcoming Xperia 10 V.
As per the press renders the Sony Xperia 10 VI will be available in three colour options including Light Blue, Black, and White. The phone has a minimalistic look with a raised pill-shaped area at the top left of the back panel that has two camera sensors sandwiched by an LED flash unit. Notably, the Japanese brand is ditching the telephoto lens found on its predecessor. This means that the upcoming offering will have an ultra-wide-angle lens and a primary unit with 2x zoom.
The Sony Xperia 10 VI features a flat frame with a volume rocker and power button on the right side. The latter doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. On the front, the device has a tall aspect ratio display and Sony is continuing the tradition with top and bottom bezels. One of the images also suggests front-firing speakers at the top and bottom.

Oppo and Vivo were some of the first companies to launch foldable phones, including both flip-style and larger folding screens. But according to a new rumor, they might be taking a break from flip phones in 2024.
Word for it comes from insider Digital Chat Station (DCS) who revealed in his latest Weibo post that two major brands won’t “update” their clamshell foldables this year.
While he didn’t name the names, we can guess it’s Oppo and Vivo. Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in July, Motorola has a flip phone in the works, and Xiaomi hasn’t released a flip phone yet. That leaves Oppo and Vivo as the remaining big players.
The news also aligns with what analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported in February: Oppo and Vivo might have stopped development on new flip phones for the Chinese market in 2024. It seems to be due to slower sales, although Huawei is reportedly still interested in clamshells despite them being less profitable.
DCS also suggests that instead of a flip phone, one of these two brands might launch a completely new type of foldable phone in 2025.
The details are unclear, but it could be something different from the usual folding or flipping styles. The possibilities include phones that fold in a Z-shape (tri-folding) or have a rollable display.
So far, only Samsung and Huawei have been rumored to be working on Z-style foldable. Rollable phones are also an idea that’s been floating around.
There was even a rumor last year that Vivo might beat Samsung in releasing a rollable phone first. But there haven’t been any updates on that front.

The smartphone will ship with pre-installed Android 14 OS out of the box.
In the Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core test results, the POCO F6 Pro scores 1,421 and 5,166 points respectively. The benchmark database does not reveal any additional details.
As per FCC, the POCO F6 Pro will be backed by a 4,880mAh battery unit. The Android 14 OS will be layered with HyperOS skin on the top. The model numbers of the F6 Pro suggest that it could be a rebranded Redmi K70 from China since they match except for the last initial which is ‘G’ and ‘C’ referring to global and China respectively. The Redmi K70 has a 120Hz 2K OLED display with 4,000 nits peak brightness, a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging, and a 50MP triple rear camera setup.

Vivo just launched the Pad 3 Pro tablet in China, and it seems they’re planning to release even more tablets soon.
That is because three new tablets from Vivo (including some from their sub-brand iQOO) have been spotted on China’s 3C certification database. These tablets have the model numbers iPA2475, PA2455, and iPA2453.
Following their convention of using “i” prefixes for iQOO devices, speculation suggests the iPA2475, paired with a 66W fast charger listing, could be the iQOO Pad 2 Pro. Rumors suggest it might be a rebrand of the Vivo Pad 3 Pro.
Meanwhile, the iPA2453, listed with a 44W charger, could be the standard iQOO Pad 2. The PA2455 model, sporting a 44W charger listing, is said to be the vanilla Vivo Pad 3.
According to rumors, Vivo Pad 3 will be the first tablet to feature the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. Like the iQOO Pad 2 Pro, the iQOO Pad 2 is also rumored to be a rebranded version of the Vivo Pad 3.
Apart from the tablets, a likely Vivo smartwatch has also appeared on the 3C listings with model number iW2356. It supports 5W charging and is said to be the upcoming Vivo Watch 4.
As usual, the 3C certification doesn’t reveal extensive details about these devices. However, it’s clear that Vivo and its sub-brand have new devices on the horizon. We’ll keep you updated on any new details that emerge.
