Nothing Headphone (1) – Key Specs

At the heart of Headphone 1 is a custom 40mm dynamic driver built to push more air for deeper bass and less distortion. It uses a nickel-plated diaphragm for stable sound output. Nothing says the entire audio system with the driver, chambers, and software was tuned and tested in KEF’s labs to create a natural and immersive listening experience.

The headphones come with hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), using both feed-forward and feedback mics. The ANC system adjusts every 600 milliseconds to your surroundings. There’s also a smart wear-detection system that scans for sound leakage every 1,875 milliseconds to maintain sound clarity.

Headphone (1) supports spatial audio with dynamic head tracking to keep sound centred as you move. There’s also a low-latency mode designed for gamers.

For connectivity, it supports high-resolution LDAC Bluetooth and also works via USB-C or a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired listening.

Battery life is a big highlight. With ANC on, you can get up to 35 hours of playback. With ANC off, the battery can stretch up to 80 hours. And if you’re in a rush, just 5 minutes of charging gives you 2.4 hours of listening time with ANC.

It comes with a Glyph Toys section in Settings that houses many widgets to choose from.

It delivers brilliant clarity even in sunlight with peak brightness of 4500 nits (HDR) and 1600 nits (HBM).

The Phone (3) is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, built on TSMC’s 4nm process. It brings a 36% improvement in CPU performance, 88% in GPU, and 60% in AI tasks compared to Phone (2).

Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Might Pack an 8,000mAh+ Battery, Tipster Hints at What to Expect from Poco F8

0

Highlights

  • A new Redmi phone, possibly the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro or K90 Ultra, is rumoured to feature a battery larger than 8,000mAh.
  • Since the Poco F7 was a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, the Poco F8 might be based on the Turbo 5 Pro, potentially inheriting the 8,000mAh+ battery and 6.8-inch flat display.
  • The Redmi Note 15 series is expected around September 2025, followed by the Xiaomi 16 series and Redmi K90 lineup later that year.

After the Poco F7 launched last week with its huge 7,550mAh battery, a fresh leak suggests Poco might be going even bigger with the upcoming Poco F8. Tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has hinted that a new high-performance Redmi phone will feature a battery larger than 8,000mAh, possibly giving us a sneak peek at what’s coming for the Poco F8.

What Does the Recent Leak Mean?

image

Caption – Digital Chat Station’s post on Weibo. (Screenshot by Gizmochina)

DCS didn’t name the Poco F8 directly in his post. Instead, they mentioned a future Redmi phone, expected to launch in 2026, that will feature a flat 6.8-inch display and a battery that exceeds 8,000mAh.

This device could end up being the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, or maybe the Redmi K90 Ultra, both of which would be natural successors in their respective lines.

To put things in context, the Redmi Turbo 4, Turbo 4 Pro, and K80 Ultra came with 6,550mAh, 7,550mAh, and 7,410mAh batteries. So, a jump to over 8,000mAh seems like a logical next step.

Here’s where things get interesting. The Poco F7 in India is a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. So, if that trend continues, the Poco F8 could very well be based on the upcoming Redmi Turbo 5 Pro. That means it might also come with an 8,000mAh battery and a 6.8-inch flat display, matching the leaked details.

Other Upcoming Launches

While it’s too early to be certain about 2026 releases, tipster DCS also mentioned in a different post that the Redmi Note 15 series is expected to launch around September 2025 in China.

The Xiaomi 16 series and the Redmi K90 lineup are tipped to follow shortly after with the Xiaomi 16 possibly arriving by the end of September.

FAQs

Q1. What battery size is rumoured for the upcoming Redmi Turbo 5 Pro?

Answer. Tipster Digital Chat Station has hinted that a future Redmi phone, possibly the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, will feature a battery larger than 8,000mAh.

Q2. How is the Poco F8 connected to the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro?

Answer. Since the Poco F7 was a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, it’s likely that the Poco F8 could be based on the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, potentially sharing the same 8,000mAh+ battery and 6.8-inch flat display.

Q3. When are the next major Redmi and Xiaomi launches expected?

Answer. The Redmi Note 15 series is expected around September 2025, followed by the Xiaomi 16 series and Redmi K90 lineup later that year.

Netflix Might Soon Show You Customised Trailers Based on Your Preferences

0

Highlights

  • Netflix is developing tech to create personalised trailers based on your viewing habits, highlighting actors, genres, or scenes you prefer.
  • This personalisation could extend to TV shows, audiobooks, and full-length films, tailoring previews and content to individual tastes.
  • Netflix may revive interactive storytelling, using machine learning to offer story paths that align with your preferences.

Netflix could be taking personalisation to a whole new level. The streaming giant is reportedly working on technology that not only suggests what you should watch but also customises how you watch it, starting with the trailers. Here’s what we know so far.

Netflix Custom Trailers Based on Preference

According to a new patent issued in December 2024, Netflix is developing a method to create different trailers for the same movie, tailored to individual users. That means what you see in a trailer could vary depending on your viewing habits.

In a statement to Business Insider, Netflix explained, “The trailer may highlight movie clips that showcase an actor or actress that the user has shown an interest in, or may highlight certain segments that show the genre or some of the comedic moments of the movie.”

So if you usually watch romantic comedies, your trailer for a new film might focus more on its light-hearted or love-story moments, while someone who enjoys action could see fight scenes or dramatic sequences instead.

The patent doesn’t stop at movies. It also mentions the potential to apply this tech to full-length films, TV shows, audiobooks, and even trailers for those formats.

Interactive Content Could Make a Comeback

Netflix also filed another patent in February that hints at a return to interactive content, similar to what we saw in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Kimmy vs the Reverend.

The twist this time is that Machine learning would help shape the story options based on your profile. So, instead of fixed choices, you might get options that feel more in tune with your taste.

For example, someone who often watches romantic content could be offered romance-themed paths in an interactive film.

While Netflix had removed all interactive titles from its platform by May due to declining interest, these patents suggest the company might be gearing up to bring them back, but smarter and more personalised than before.

FAQS

Q1. What is Netflix’s new approach to trailers?

Answer. Netflix is developing a method to create different trailers for the same movie, tailored to individual users based on their viewing habits and preferences.

Q2. How will the Netflix personalised trailers work?

Answer. The trailer may highlight movie clips that showcase an actor or actress the user likes, or emphasise genres or comedic moments the user typically enjoys.

Q3. Is Netflix bringing back interactive content?

Answer. Yes, Netflix filed a patent suggesting a return to interactive content, where machine learning would shape story options based on your profile and preferences.

Google Photos Update Keeps HDR Quality Intact After Edits, Adds New Ultra HDR Tool

0

Highlights

  • HDR photos in Google Photos will now retain their full dynamic range and metadata after using editing tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and Portrait Light.
  • A new Ultra HDR tool offers precise brightness control, while the old HDR tool has been renamed to “Tone” for adjusting light and contrast.
  • Google Photos can now enhance SDR images to HDR, improving brightness, contrast, and clarity for better display on HDR-capable screens.

Google Photos is rolling out some new features that make it easier to edit and enhance both HDR and SDR images without losing quality.

“We’ve made improvements to how images are edited in High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). Now, HDR photos can keep their full dynamic range and crucial HDR metadata even after editing with features like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and Portrait Light. This means your edited photos will maintain their contrast and highlights to always look their best,” said the company recently in a Google Community post.

One major change is that HDR photos will now keep their full dynamic range and HDR metadata, even after using editing tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, or Portrait Light. This means your photos will still look bright, detailed, and vibrant on HDR-supported screens, even after you’ve made changes.

Google has also introduced a new “Ultra HDR” tool, which gives you more precise control over brightness. This lets you fine-tune your photos to get exactly the look you’re after. In addition, the older “HDR” tool has been renamed to “Tone” to better reflect its role in adjusting light and contrast.

There’s more good news for SDR photos too. Google Photos can now enhance SDR images to HDR, improving brightness, contrast, and clarity. So, even your older or standard photos will look much better on modern HDR-capable screens.

Google hasn’t confirmed whether these features are arriving via an app update or a server-side rollout, but they’re gradually becoming available for users with HDR-compatible devices.
