The Edge 50 also introduces some AI-powered features
The Edge 50 also introduces some AI-powered features

The Motorola Edge 50 stands out as a well-rounded mid-range offering that punches above its weight in several areas.

Its durable yet premium design, versatile camera system, and clean software experience make it a compelling choice for users seeking flagship-like features at a more accessible price point.

While it faces stiff competition in a crowded market segment, the Edge 50’s combination of performance, camera capabilities, and battery life position it as a strong contender.

The addition of features like military-grade durability and fast charging further enhance its appeal.

However, the limited long-term software support compared to some competitors and the lack of a headphone jack may be drawbacks for some users.

Additionally, while performance is strong for its class, it may not satisfy the most demanding power users or hardcore mobile gamers.

Overall, the Motorola Edge 50 offers excellent value for money and should be on the shortlist for anyone looking for a capable, well-designed mid-range smartphone.

iOS 18 Beta Update: Now Shoot Video While Playing Music on Your iPhone

iOS 18 Beta Update

Highlights

  • iOS 18 now allows video recording without pausing music addressing a long-standing user complaint.
  • The update includes improvements in the Photos app.
  • The new feature will allow users to create their own soundtracked clips with only their iPhone.
  • iOS 18 is scheduled to get an official release in September 2024.

Apple has started rolling out beta versions of the upcoming iOS 18, revealing some exciting new features.

According to several media reports, one standout feature in iOS 18 is the ability to record video without pausing your music, podcast, or any other audio.

This will work whether you’re using AirPods or not.

Traditionally, starting a video recording on an iPhone interrupts any audio you are playing.

iPhone users around the world have often complained about this annoying interruption and the online community has been vocal about the much-needed change in Audio Playback functionality.

Looks like Apple has finally paid heed to their request with this “Allow Audio Playback” feature in the next iOS update.

Users have welcomed this update, which lets you continue listening to audio while recording video.

This feature is part of the broader iOS 18 update, which also includes improvements in Safari’s Distraction Control, updates to the Photos app, and new customization options.

Once released, these iOS 18 updates will not be limited to the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max but also for older models, going back to the iPhone 12 series.

Here’s how it works.

iOS 18 Adds Camera Setting to Allow iPhone Audio Playback When Shooting Video

The new setting can be found under Settings > Camera > Record Sound and is turned on by default.

This ensures that your audio playback won’t pause when you start recording video.

However, note that recordings with this feature are limited to 1440p resolution at 30 frames per second with mono sound.

For stereo sound, it’s recommended to use AirPods while recording.

In the past, Apple did try to manage music interruption during video recording as it introduced a way to record video from the camera app’s photo mode.

Users could long-press the shutter button to record videos and keep the music playing while filming.

However, the video quality when recorded this way wasn’t as good as using the dedicated video mode.

iOS 18 Adds Camera Setting to Allow iPhone Audio Playback When Shooting Video
iOS 18 Adds Camera Setting to Allow iPhone Audio Playback When Shooting Video

Now with the iOS 18 update, Apple has finally addressed the issue in a more efficient way.

Once you are done recording, you can then check your video in the updated Photos app.

Keep in mind that since your iPhone is recording audio from its speakers, the sound quality might not be as clean as if you added the track using a proper video editing app.

However, for everyday use, it’s more than adequate.

The community stability score for iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 1 is reported to be 7/10, with positive feedback on battery life, temperature management, and device speed.

The stable version of iOS 18 is expected to be released in September this year, coinciding with the launch of the new iPhone 16 series.

Q7. How to disable iPhone audio while recording video ?

When you install iOS 18, audio playback won’t stop during video recording sessions.

Allowing audio playback during video recording will result in mono sound.

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Choose Camera from the main list.
  • Select Record Sound.
  • Turn off the Allow Audio -Playback switch to disable the feature.

“When playing audio using the iPhone’s speaker, audio will be recorded in mono,” Apple says as a cautionary measure to its users .

If you need to shoot video while listening to a song, use your AirPods to ensure the video is recorded with stereo sound.

Only audio playback through the iPhone’s speaker results in mono sound in your captured footage.

How to add music to an iPhone video in iOS 18?

• Open Settings,go to Camera, and then to Record Sound, check that the Allow Audio Playback toggle is on (green).

• Use the music app in your phone to create the track .

• Go to camera app if it automatically opens to photo mode then swipe right to switch to video mode .

• Tap the shutter button and start your recording.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Highlights

  • Google will release the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold on August 13th.
  • The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be Google’s second foldable phone.
  • A 6.3-inch external display, an 8.03-inch internal OLED display, a new square-shaped camera bar and more.
  • Promotional video highlights the AI-driven features and “Pro-level” camera capabilities of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.
  • Leak reveals Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL prices for the US Market.

Google is set to release its new Pixel phones a couple of months earlier than usual, thanks to Samsung leaving the August slot open for big announcements.

So, mark your calendars for August 13th. We’re expecting at least three new Pixel models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

 The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be Google’s second foldable phone.

The first Pixel Fold launched last summer and was well-received, particularly for its wide external screen and slim design compared to the Galaxy Z Fold.

The Pixel 9 Pro isn’t much of a secret anymore due to numerous leaks, but it’s still exciting.

Adding to the leaks, a new promotional video recently appeared on social media, showcasing Google’s vision for an AI-driven future with the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.

In a post by X (previously known as Twitter) user @MysteryLupin, this 40-second clip highlights the phones’ AI capabilities and “Pro-level” camera features.

One standout feature is “Add Me,” which allows you to insert yourself into existing photos, using the superior rear cameras instead of the front-facing one.

As per another leak circulating in the media reports, the Pixel 9 Pro will start at $999.99 with a T-Mobile plan in the US market.

Although we can’t be certain, this price list may have originated from T-Mobile sources.

As for the Pixel 9 Pro XL, it will go for $1,199 with 256GB of storage or maybe $1,199 for 512GB.

The leaked price list image (shared above) has both options, making it all rather confusing.

Pixel 9 Series Leaks Shows Size Difference Between the Two Pros

Evan Blass (@evleaks) shared official-looking renders for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL showing us the upcoming devices with some comparison shots that show the size difference between them.

Pixel 9 Pro & 9 Pro XL Sizes

From the images shared we could see Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL will feature an evident height difference with the 9 Pro rumored to feature a 6.34-inch OLED display & the 9 Pro XL is anticipated to feature a 6.73-inch panel.

Both phones seem to have similarly sized bezels & centered punch hole cutouts for the rumored 50MP selfie shooters.

From the images we can also see the different colors options for both phones – Rose, Porcelain (white), Green and Obsidian (black) for the Pixel 9 and Obsidian, Porcelain, Rose, and Hazel (green) for the Pixel 9 Pro.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold – What We Know So Far?

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold retains its former starting price of €1,899 for 256GB
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be Google’s second foldable phone

Rumours suggest it will have a 6.3-inch display with a 17.5:9 aspect ratio, reminiscent of the 16:9 screens from the past.

It will be made of metal, and while there’s no word on it being lighter, we hope the hinge design improves, allowing the phone to lay flat.

It should maintain its IPX8 water resistance, with hopes that Google might match Samsung’s particle protection in the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The back of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a new square-shaped camera bar, as teased by Google.

Expected colours for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold include Hazel, Obsidian, Porcelain, and Rose.

 When opened, the phone will reveal a new 8.03-inch display with a 6:5 aspect ratio, larger than last year’s 7.6-inch screen.

It will be an OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, matched by a 120 Hz OLED cover display on the outside.

Peak brightness should be around 1,450 nits.

Camera-wise, rumours point to a 64 MP main sensor, a 10.5 MP telephoto camera, and a 12 MP ultra-wide camera.

Details on the selfie cameras are still unclear, but we expect one on both the cover and main display.

There’s some confusion regarding the battery.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to be larger, but the battery might be slightly smaller at 4,560 mAh compared to the previous 4,821 mAh.
