Apple to Release iPhone 16 Series in Multiple Colours and Premium Titanium Finishes

Highlights

  • iPhone 16 Plus rumoured to come in seven vibrant colours: blue, pink, yellow, green, black, white, and purple.
  • Reports suggest the regular iPhone 16 may also feature these new colour options.
  • iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max to introduce new titanium finishes.
  • Apple continues to innovate with both bright colours and premium materials for the iPhone 16 series.

Apple’s new iPhone series — the iPhone 16 is coming out this September, according to reports.

Before they’re released next autumn, however, there have been hints online about what colours will be available for them.

iPhone 16 Pro rumoured to come in seven vibrant colours: blue, pink, yellow, green, black, white, and purple

The tech company is well-known for creating colourful smartphonesand this year could see their brightest yet, with up to seven different shades said to be coming for the iPhone 16 Plus.

According to leaked information, there are going to be seven options in total for people buying the larger model of phone – blue, pink, yellow, green, black, white and purple.

Apple appears poised not only to expand its range of hues beyond what was on offer with last year’s 15 Plus but also bring ‘em out in pairs – adding both lightness (in form) and darkness (in shade) together as it were … or so says my theory anyway!

An announcement from the Chinese social website Weibo (via MacRumors) has recently brought to light the fact that the iPhone 16 Plus – or perhaps its inclusion of colour schemes – behaves according to a wide gamut; but we’re not sure whether this will apply also to the regular iPhone 16.

Nonetheless, considering how Apple likes keeping appearances consistent throughout different sizes available for any given model it’s more than likely that these new colours shall feature across both editions of 16.

PhonePe Launches UPI Payments in UAE with Mashreq Bank's NEOPAY

Highlights

  • PhonePe enables UPI payments at NEOPAY terminals in UAE for easy transactions.
  • Users can make payments directly from their INR accounts using QR code scans.
  • NRIs can link their NRE and NRO accounts to PhonePe for convenient use in the UAE.
  • The partnership with Mashreq Bank and NIPL facilitates seamless cross-border payments.

PhonePe has announced that they are introducing UPI payments in UAE through Mashreq Bank’s NEOPAY network utilizing digital systems created by Indian fintech corporation.

Presently, these types of transactions will be feasible only at NEOPAY terminals.

Speaking on the partnership Ritesh Pai, CEO International Payments, PhonePe said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Mashreq. UAE is a very popular destination, with millions of Indian visitors every year. With this partnership, customers can now conveniently transact through UPI, a payment method they are familiar with.

Enabling digital payments not only reflects PhonePe’s commitment to convenience but also embraces the evolving needs of today’s travelers. This collaboration opens doors to seamless transactions, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable journey for visitors.”

Vibhor Mundhada, CEO of NEOPAY at Mashreq added, “We are delighted to collaborate with PhonePe to offer yet another new payment solution for Indian tourists and visitors in the UAE, helping further cement the already strong financial relations between the two countries.

This latest launch underscores our commitment to incorporating innovation and technology into our operations, and to providing the solutions and experiences our customers want and need.”

PhonePe UPI in the UAE

Essentially, what this means is PhonePe users now can pay simply by scanning a QR code at NEOPAY terminals.

At present, as per the existing currency conversion rates, the value of the transaction gets debited from their INR accounts after deduction in India Rupees.

To make matters happen between them NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) – which is an overseas subsidiary organization belonging to National Payments Corporation India (NPCI) – has allied with Mashreq Bank and that’s how they could bring about such cooperation.

Moreover, Indians living overseas (NRIs) who have UAE phone numbers can connect their current NRE (Non-Resident External) plus NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) accounts held with banks in India to PhonePe so that they can use UPI for transactions here in Dubai.

Ritesh Pai, CEO of PhonePe’s International Payments division, highlighted the convenience this service brings to the millions of Indian visitors to the UAE annually, allowing them to transact using the familiar UPI payment method.

“We aim to actively collaborate with financial institutions around the world, fostering partnerships to deliver convenient and secure cross-border payment solutions for consumers. This partnership encourages fintech collaboration and unifies the ecosystem to streamline payment processes for Indian travelers to UAE,” Anubhav Sharma, Deputy Chief – Partnership Business Development & Marketing, NIPL said.

How It Works

The facility functions simply: clients can scan a QR code at partner stores and the deal will be carried out in Indian Rupees, while the exchange rate will be shown for transparency.

In addition, non-resident Indians (NRIs) having UAE mobile numbers may also utilize it.

They just need to download the PhonePe app and link their current accounts like NRE or NRO ones; thus making services more accessible and convenient for the Indian diaspora in United Arab Emirates.

FAQs

What is the new service introduced by PhonePe in the UAE?

PhonePe has launched a service that allows users to make UPI payments in the UAE using QR codes at NEOPAY terminals, directly debiting from their Indian INR accounts.

How can Indian expatriates in the UAE benefit from PhonePe’s new UPI payment service?

Indian expatriates, or NRIs, can connect their NRE or NRO accounts to the PhonePe app and use it to transact conveniently at various locations across the UAE that support NEOPAY.

What role does Mashreq Bank play in PhonePe’s UPI service in the UAE?

Mashreq Bank, through its NEOPAY network, has partnered with NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) to enable the use of PhonePe for UPI transactions in the UAE.

Are there any specific requirements for NRIs to use PhonePe’s UPI services in the UAE?

NRIs need to have a UAE mobile number and must link their NRE or NRO bank accounts with the PhonePe app to start using the service for payments in the UAE.

How Does UPI Payment Feature in UAE Works?

Currently, only PhonePe users traveling to the UAE can use UPI for payments. Here is how you can use UPI payments in UAE:

  1. Look for a store with a NEOPAY terminal displaying the UPI symbol.
  2. Open the PhonePe app on your phone and initiate a UPI payment as you normally would in India.
  3. Scan the QR code displayed on the NEOPAY terminal.
  4. Confirm the payment details, including the amount (which will be in INR) and currency exchange rate.
  5. Enter your UPI PIN to complete the transaction.

What are the Benefits of this New Feature?

Convenience for Travellers: Indian tourists can ditch the hassle of carrying cash or converting currency. They can simply rely on their trusted PhonePe app for payments, ensuring a familiar and hassle-free experience.

NRIs Can Join the Party: Non-resident Indians (NRIs) with UAE mobile numbers can also benefit from this service. They can link their existing NRE (Non-Resident External) and NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) accounts to their PhonePe app and start making payments.

Smoother Transactions: Transactions made via UPI will be deducted from your Indian Rupee (INR) account, with the currency exchange rate clearly displayed during the transaction.

Motorola Razr 50 Ultra Foldable Smartphone Nears Launch with New Leaks

Highlights

  • First live image of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra leaked, showing familiar design features.
  • The device retains horizontal dual-camera setup and large secondary screen.
  • Expected to offer a 12GB RAM + 512GB storage configuration.
  • Has received multiple certifications, signaling an imminent launch.

The highly anticipated Motorola Razr 50 Ultra foldable smartphone appears to be in the final stages of development, having received multiple certifications online, including India’s BIS certification.

As the successor to the Razr 40 Ultra, the Razr 50 Ultra has now had its first live image exclusively leaked by 91mobiles, likely originating from another certification process.

Razr 50 Ultra Design Revealed

First live image of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra leaked, showing familiar design features.
First live image of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra leaked, showing familiar design features.

The leaked live image reveals that the Razr 50 Ultra’s design doesn’t seem to have changed much from its predecessor.

It retains the familiar horizontal dual-camera setup on the back, the Razr branding, and the folding hinge mechanism.

The large secondary screen and dual-camera array on the exterior also appear to be staying put, offering a convenient way to view notifications without fully unfolding the device.

The image also provides a glimpse of the back panel, which, according to earlier leaks, might be available in color options like Blue, Orange, and Green.

On the front, the Razr 50 Ultra is expected to feature a center-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera and slim bezels around the screen, while the volume rocker and power button are likely to be placed on the right edge.

Razr 50 Ultra: Expected Specs

Expected to offer a 12GB RAM + 512GB storage configuration
Expected to offer a 12GB RAM + 512GB storage configuration

According to sources, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra will bear the model number XT-24510-3 and will be available in a 12GB RAM + 512GB storage configuration.

However, there seems to be a discrepancy regarding the model number, as earlier leaks suggested it would be XT-2453-3 instead of XT-24510-3.

This difference could be due to variations in regional releases or different storage options.

Interestingly, the leaked model number matches a previous report from January, which stated that the Razr 50 Ultra has the internal codename ‘Gory.’

While the live image and certification listings hint at the Razr 50 Ultra’s imminent launch, it’s important to take this information with the metaphorical grain of salt until Motorola officially unveils the device.

“Back in April, Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, had said that some colour variants were sold out. Currently, according to him, “most” Phone (2a) units are all sold out on various channels.

Pei first started hinting at possible stockouts mid-March when he said that the Phone (2a) was “selling better than expected.” 

The exact sales number is not known, but Nothing said that it sold over 60,000 units in the first hour of its launch and over 100,000 units in the first 24 hours.

Even if there were only a fraction of that strength in the first movement, it can explain the current stock situation.
