PayPal World is a new international payment platform connecting major wallets PayPal, Venmo, UPI, Mercado Pago and Tenpay Global.
Indian users can now use UPI for international payments via PayPal.
It supports peer-to-peer global transfers, lets merchants accept payments from approximately 2 billion domestic wallet users and requires no extra integration.

UPI is officially coming to PayPal as the company confirms its integration into PayPal World, a new global payments platform. The goal of this platform is to connect major digital wallets and payment systems from around the world. It will initially support PayPal, Venmo, UPI (via NPCI International) Mercado Pago, and Tenpay Global.
With this development, users in India will be able to make international payments using UPI. For instance, when shopping on a US-based website that supports PayPal, Indian users will see the familiar UPI button at checkout and can complete the transaction using their usual payment app. This eliminates the need for an international card or a separate global payment account.
The platform will also enable cross-border peer-to-peer payments. A user in the United States using Venmo will be able to send money directly to a PayPal user in another country, marking the first time PayPal and Venmo will operate in tandem this way.
Merchants using PayPal will automatically be able to receive payments from nearly two billion users who rely on domestic wallets like UPI and Weixin Pay.No additional coding or integration will be required, allowing businesses to expand their reach effortlessly without changing their existing setup.
PayPal World is built on open APIs and a cloud-based infrastructure to ensure fast and secure transactions across regions. The platform will also support future capabilities such as stablecoins and dynamic payment buttons and is designed to work seamlessly across a variety of devices.
Ritesh Shukla, CEO of NPCI International, stated that the move will expand UPI’s global presence and make international payments easier and safer for Indian users. “The integration of UPI on PayPal World’s platform will mark a significant step in expanding UPI’s global footprint,” said Shukla.
PayPal World is set to begin rolling out this fall with more wallets and payment system partners expected to join the ecosystem as it grows.

Google will reportedly introduce a major hardware and design change with the upcoming Pixel Watch 4. When early renders of the watch surfaced, many noticed the absence of charging contacts near the health sensors. This led to speculation and hope that wireless charging might be making a return, similar to the original Pixel Watch.
However, as reported by Android Headlines, the Pixel Watch 4 will debut an entirely new charger design for the series. Here’s what we know.
Pixel Watch 4 – New Charging System

According to the latest report, the most notable shift in the Pixel Watch 4 would be shifting the charging connectors from the back of the watch to its left side, along with a new, non-wireless charger.
The Pixel Watch 4 will be charged by placing it sideways into its charging dock. Previous leaks revealed the presence of a speaker and a docking mechanism on the side opposite the crown. With this, it’s now assumed that the charger connects to the two slots next to the speaker to deliver power to the watch.
On earlier Pixel Watch models, the charging connectors were located on the back.
The leaked image of the Pixel Watch 4, however, shows no such contact points on the rear. This initially sparked speculation about a possible wireless charging. But it turns out Google has opted for a more straightforward solution by moving the connectors to the side.
One added benefit of this design change is that it allows users to view the watch face while it’s charging on a bedside table. Additionally, the Pixel Watch 4 is reportedly capable of charging 25% faster than its predecessor.
This redesigned charging system is the latest among several leaks about Google’s next smartwatch. It’s already confirmed that the Pixel Watch 4 will come in 41mm and 45mm sizes, feature displays with brightness up to 3000 nits, and be powered by the same chipset as the Pixel Watch 3. As for pricing, the 41mm variant is expected to start at €399, while the 45mm version may cost €449.
The Pixel Watch 4 is scheduled to launch alongside the Pixel 10 series.

Realme is expected to launch the GT 8 and GT 8 Pro together in October.
Both models will reportedly be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip.

If the latest rumours hold any ground, Realme might be planning on shifting its strategy for flagship launches. As per a new leak, the Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro are likely to launch together in October. Here’s what we know about this so far.
Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro Launch Schedule (Leaked)
Caption – Digital Chat Station’s recent post on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate)
According to a recent post by popular Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, Realme is shifting its yearly flagship launch schedule starting with Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro. This marks a significant change from the company’s recent approach. Last year, Realme unveiled the GT 7 Pro in November, but the standard GT 7 didn’t arrive until May 2025.
That staggered launch not only split the spotlight between the two models but also highlighted a considerable difference in hardware.
While the GT 7 Pro came equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the regular GT 7 was powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e.
Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro to Feature Snapdragon 8 Elite 2
This time around, Realme seems to be aiming for a level playing field. The leak suggests that both the GT 8 and GT 8 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850), Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship processor that’s expected to bring significant performance improvements.
Additionally, both phones are rumoured to bring competitive upgrades across the board including enhancements in display quality, periscope zoom capabilities, and battery life. This would position the flagship phones directly against other leading Android flagships.
The Realme GT 8 Pro is expected to feature a flat 6.85-inch 2K OLED display from Samsung, complete with the same AR anti-glare coating used on the “Galaxy S25 Ultra.” Under the hood, it will reportedly pack a battery rated above 7,000mAh, housed within a metal middle frame. Fast charging support is also on the cards with speeds up to “100W.”
On the camera front, the highlight is expected to be a “200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor”, possibly the Samsung HP9, which is also rumoured to appear on Oppo’s upcoming Find X9 Pro.
That’s all the information currently available about the GT 8 Pro. Details about the standard GT 8 remain under wraps for now, but more should surface soon.

Realme 15 Pro 5G
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Design and Build Quality
We’ve been using the Realme 15 Pro 5G in the Silk Purple colour for this review and from the very first glance, this colour gives off a cool vibe. Realme says the design is inspired by party attire aligning with the marketing hook. The soft matte back of this colour has this classy purple hue with a gentle sparkle that shimmers subtly under light. It doesn’t attract fingerprints or smudges, so that’s a win.
The curves on both the screen and back blend with the frame. Realme calls it their Deep 4D Curve+ design and it does feel sleek and seamless.
The camera module at the back looks like it has three lenses, but that’s just smart design to carry on the illusion of three cameras. But there are actually two cameras on the back, and the third cutout is for the Pulse light. All of it sits neatly on a slightly raised glass plate, adding a bit of stylish sense to the overall design. The good thing is it doesn’t make the phone look any bulkier.
What’s surprising is how slim and light this phone feels, especially considering it packs a massive 7000mAh battery inside. At just 7.69mm thick and 187g in weight, it’s honestly one of the most comfortable big-battery phones we’ve held.
The build quality is decent. It has a polycarbonate body but feels sturdy in the hand. The phone is IP69 rated, which means it can handle dust, splashes, and even being submerged in water for up to 30 minutes. We don’t recommend dunking it in a pool or anything, but the IP rating does cover for little downpour.
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Display
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Display
Realme 15 Pro 5G boasts a stunning 6.8-inch AMOLED panel. We’ve been using it as our main smartphone for a few days now, and the display is quite impressive in performance. With a 144Hz dynamic refresh rate, everything from scrolling through apps to gaming feels silky smooth on this display.
Realme’s High-brightness Sunlight Display tech really kicks in under harsh sunlight. We didn’t feel the need to squint or max out brightness manually. With a wild peak brightness of 6500 nits, content stays punchy and visible even on the sunniest afternoons.
Watching HDR content on Netflix or Prime Video is a treat, thanks to 100% P3 color saturation and 10-bit support for over a billion colors. Blacks are deep and the contrast is excellent. The text looks sharp with 453 PPI on that 1280×2800 resolution panel. It even has 4608Hz PWM dimming, which makes a noticeable difference during night-time use and ensures there is no eye strain even after a long YouTube binge.
15 Pro comes with a 4D Curve+ display, which means it is curved on the sides to have an edge-to-edge look. Complementing that are uniform narrow bezels, that ensure an immersive experience for the user.
As for the durability, the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass to perfectly handle scratches, splashes and daily wear.
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Performance
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Performance
Powered by the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, Realme 15 Pro handles daily tasks well. That Kryo CPU setup (topping out at 2.8GHz) and the 4nm process clearly deliver on both performance and power efficiency. Whether we were flipping between a dozen apps, taking calls, uploading to Drive, or editing photos on the go, 15 Pro didn’t show any noticeable stutters.
The phone boots up fast, apps launch in a snap and the Realme AI Multi-Tasker ensures frequently used apps open seconds quicker. Animations are fluid and general responsiveness is as snappy as you’d expect from a mid-ranger.
As we tested on multiple benchmarking platforms, we got pretty good results. The phone scored over 1 million on AnTuTu. It also clocked 1206 in single-core and 3538 in multi-core CPU tests on Geekbench 6. Below are more benchmarking results –
Now, let’s talk about gaming. We tested it with BGMI and even Genshin Impact on higher and medium settings. The frame rates stayed consistent, even during those intense multiplayer moments. We didn’t notice any major stutters or lags. The AI Gaming Coach and GT Boost 3.0 are a good addition to boost gaming performance even further. They subtly adjust touch sensitivity with Ultra Touch Control. The phone maintains smooth motion through AI Motion Control and high-temperature frame stability.
We also didn’t face any heating issues with this phone, thanks to the 7000mm² VC cooling sheet. The phone barely got warm even after a 45-minute gaming session.
As for software, Realme 15 Pro 5G runs smoothly on Realme UI 6.0. However, the experience isn’t entirely flawless. There’s a noticeable amount of bloatware pre-installed, a classic Realme move. Some of these pre-installed apps start sending push notifications right out of the box, which can get annoying fast. Most of these can be uninstalled, but most users would prefer a clean, distraction-free UI from a phone in this price segment from the start.
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Camera Performance
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Camera Performance
Now, Realme is pushing the idea that the camera system on the 15 Pro is one of the strongest. The phone has a 50MP Sony IMX896 main sensor on the rear. With a large 1/1.56″ sensor, wide f/1.8 aperture and support for 2-axis OIS, it captures sharp, well-exposed shots in daylight with natural-looking details. Colours lean slightly toward vibrancy but not in an overdone way. There is definitely some artificial processing happening in the photos but they don’t overpower the scene.

Realme 15 Pro 5G – Camera Night Samples
The second lens on the rear is a 50MP ultra-wide lens, which uses the OmniVision OV50D sensor. We noticed a good balance between field of view and distortion control. It covers a wide 115.6° angle and supports EIS. Detail retention is solid, though dynamic range does take a hit compared to the main sensor.
The rear camera is particularly impressive in low light. Realme is claiming it to be a party phone and for that, the phone has some nice filters. There are also a bunch of features that can expand your photography experience, making the camera a lot more versatile.
Realme 15 Pro Party filters and different photo modes.
Then there’s the 50MP OV50D sensor on the front. It keeps the shots crisp and fairly colour-accurate. Skin tones are handled nicely with minimal over-smoothing.
Realme 15 Pro 5G DayLight Video
Realme 15 Pro 5G Night Video
In terms of video, you get up to 4K at 60fps, which runs well with good stabilisation and dynamic range, especially from the main lens. The default video is set at 1080p 30fps, where beauty mode is active by default. We tried recording a few videos in different lighting conditions and the results were decent. However, some fine-tuning might be needed in future updates.
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Battery and Charging
Realme 15 Pro 5G – Battery and Charging
Realme 15 Pro 5G’s biggest highlight is the massive 7000mAh Titan Battery. This is more than enough power for an average user to run through more than a day or two on a single full charge. Even with heavy social media scrolling, calls, gaming and YouTube, we were consistently getting two full days of use on a single charge. On light use, we believe it could easily stretch into the third.
This is supported by the 80W Ultra Charge. From around 10% to nearly full took us just under 40 minutes with this adapter and a quick 10-minute charge gave enough for several hours of casual use.
Realme also claims that the Titan Battery maintains over 80% capacity after 1600 charge cycles, which means it’s built to last years, not months. If that claim holds up over time, it’s a win for battery health and long-term durability.
Verdict – Should You Buy Realme 15 Pro 5G?
Verdict – Should You Buy Realme 15 Pro 5G?

Realme Buds T200 – Design and Build Quality
Realme Buds T200 – Design and Build Quality
We’ve been using the Realme Buds T200 for a couple of days now and its seems decent enough in terms of design or build quality. This is at par with what you expect from earbuds on this price segment.
We received the earbuds in the Snowy White colour and it has a clean, minimal look. The case has a glossy finish, which gives it a neat appearance. However, it does seem like a finish that will pick up scratches pretty easily if you’re not careful. It’s made of polycarbonate material and while it’s nothing fancy, it actually feels quite sturdy in the hand. It comes with an IP55 rating for dust and water protection.
The case is compact enough to slip into your pocket without creating a bulge. There’s a small LED indicator on the front along with Realme branding. The charging port sits at the bottom.
The earbuds themselves have a small stem-style design and are super lightweight. We could wear them for hours at a stretch without any discomfort. We didn’t feel any slipping out or awkward pressure points. The fit is snug and stable. It feels secure while just walking around or even on a quick jog. To sum up, it is a design that works well for daily use.
Realme Buds T200 – Audio Quality
Realme Buds T200 – Audio Quality
Contrary to our initial expectation, the Realme Buds T200 actually sound pretty solid for the price. There are 12.4mm drivers packed in these. The buds are enough punchy to make music sound full and energetic. The vocals are crisp, the instruments sound clear and the bass has that decent thump without being too boomy.
These might not be the perfect pair for bass-heavy lovers, but buds hold up well across genres nonetheless.
The volume output is pretty good. It gets loud enough without distorting, which is great for buds in this segment. The sound pressure here in the Indian variant is rated at 102±2dB, so we felt the impact even at medium volume levels.
In terms of audio support, you get AAC, SBC, and even LDAC codecs. If your phone supports LDAC, you’ll definitely notice a bump in sound quality along with more detail, clearer highs.
There are two mics on each bud and we noticed that voice clarity during calls was decent. It’s obviously not studio-grade but the microphone sensitivity of -38dB makes sure voice is picked up clean. We tried them in moderately noisy environments and the results were better than expectations.
Realme Buds T200 – Features, ANC and Touch Controls
Realme Buds T200 – Features, ANC and Touch Controls
Buds T200 support Bluetooth 5.4, which ensures the connection stays stable even. If you are a Realme phone user, you even get that neat little personalised pop-up window when you open the case. For other Android phones, there’s a GFP pop-up to make pairing easier. We didn’t face any random disconnections during the time we used T200 and pairing was quick too.
There’s active noise cancellation support too. It gets up to 32dB of ANC, which is pretty solid for this price. As for performance, it does a good job of cutting out fan noise or light outside chatter. There’s also a transparent mode. We tested it while walking outside and it does help in staying aware of your surroundings without having to take the buds out.
The touch controls work well. You can double-tap to play/pause or answer calls, triple-tap to skip tracks, and long-press to switch noise control modes or reject a call. What’s even better is that these controls are customisable via the Realme Link app, so you can tweak them to suit your habits.
There’s voice assistant support, OTA updates and an LED status indicator to show charging or pairing status.
Realme Buds T200 – Battery and Charging
Realme Buds T200 – Battery and Charging
Realme Buds T200’s battery life is pretty impressive as each earbud packs a 58mAh battery. We consistently got around 6 to 7 hours of playback at 50% volume and with noise cancellation or transparency mode turned on.
If you are a light user, that’s more than enough to get through a full workday or a few long commutes.
The charging case holds a 530mAh battery and the brand claims a total of up to 50 hours of playback. As we used the buds, we only had to charge the case every few days even with regular use. It comes with a USB-C port for charging. The full case and earbuds together take about 2.30 hours to fully charge.
Overall, the battery is reliable and it’s definitely been one of the strong points during our use.
Verdict – Should I Buy Realme T200?
Verdict – Should I Buy Realme T200?
Realme Buds T200 are comfortable, compact and have essential features that you would expect from TWS earbuds in this segment.
Apart from regular TWS features, additions such as LDAC support, IP55 rating, dual device connection and a responsive control system definitely adds to the value. For what they cost, they deliver more than expected.
So, we would say if you want a pair of earbuds with good sound, dependable battery life and decent ANC without breaking the bank, the Realme Buds T200 are definitely worth considering.
