Nothing Phone 2a to Launch Exclusive New Colour Variant in India

Highlights

  • Exclusive new colour variant of the Nothing Phone 2a teased for India.
  • Reveal set for 29th April at 12 PM on Flipkart.
  • Current models available in black, white, and select markets have a “milk” option.
  • Community-designed “Phosphorescence” concept could influence future special editions.

Nothing has started teasing a “new edition” of the Phone 2a aimed specifically at the Indian market.

The exact colour variant remains a mystery, but the wording suggests it will be something fresh and exclusive for India.

More details on this new Phone 2a edition will be revealed on 29th April at 12PM, according to a Flipkart listing.

Nothing Phone 2a: Current Pricing and Colours

Currently, the Phone 2a is sold in India in just black and white colours. However, in select countries, a third “milk” option is also available.

Nothing is also running a contest allowing its community to design a special Phone 2a edition due for release later this year.

The winners of the first stage hardware design contest have been announced, with Kenta and Astrid’s “Phosphorescence” concept beating over 400 entries.

The architectural duo now has a chance to collaborate closely with Nothing’s design and R&D teams to create a Phone 2a Community Edition.

The final product’s wallpapers, packaging, and marketing will also be chosen from community ideas through separate contests in May, June, and July respectively.

At a starting price of Rs 19,999, the Phone 2a is Nothing’s most affordable smartphone yet.

Despite its affordability, it delivers a compelling package with a unique design, distinct software experience, great cameras and impressive battery life.

While raw performance lags behind rivals like the OnePlus Nord CE 4, Nothing scores high on overall value.

With moves like this new India-specific edition, Nothing is clearly aiming to maximise the Phone 2a’s potential as one of the best value phones before unveiling its flagship Phone 3 model.

Stay tuned for more updates.

  • Base model priced at 6499 CNY, approximately Rs 70,000.
  • Satellite Version to feature 16GB RAM and 1TB storage at 7999 CNY.
  • Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 200MP periscope telephoto lens.
  • Expected to launch alongside X100s and X100s Pro models in May.

Vivo is prepping to launch the X100 Ultra smartphone, a top-tier device focused on delivering a high-end camera setup.

The standard and X100 Pro models already boasted impressive cameras, so expectations are high for the Ultra variant. The Vivo X100 Ultra has recently received certifications, hinting at an imminent release.

Now, there’s news about the phone’s potential pricing.

According to the post on Weibo, there will be four models of Vivo X100 Ultra available for purchase.

The base variant will come with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage at a price point of 6499 CNY which roughly converts to around Rs 70,000.

Apart from that, there is also said to be a Satellite Version with massive 16GB RAM and 1TB internal storage priced at 7999 CNY(approximately Rs 90,000).

Interestingly, this pricing post caught the attention of Vivo’s Product Manager Han Boxiao.

Responding to a comment comparing the X100 Ultra’s cost to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Han stated that the X100 Ultra “can’t be cheap.”

This makes sense, as the Ultra branding suggests top-tier specs. While previous X100 models used the Dimensity 9300 chip, the X100 Ultra is expected to pack the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Additionally, leaks point to a 200MP periscope telephoto lens alongside three other capable sensors.

The Ultra will likely deliver a premium display and battery experience too. All these high-end components could result in a hefty price tag. The Vivo X100 Ultra, along with X100s and X100s Pro models, are anticipated to launch in May.

Google Introduces Notification Cooldown and Vibrate When Unlocked Features in Android 15 Beta 1.2

Highlights

  • Introducing “Notification Cooldown” to manage repetitive alerts from apps.
  • New “Vibrate When Unlocked” feature prevents vibrations in sensitive settings.
  • Tailored settings for quieter and less disruptive notifications.
  • Enhancements aimed at improving user control over phone alerts.

Developer Mishaal Rahman has discovered a useful new feature intended to enhance the notification experience on Android devices in Google’s newly released Android 15 Beta 1.2.

Notification Cooldown

One notable addition in Android 15 Beta 1.2 is the system settings “Notification Cooldown” option.

This is intended to address the widespread complaint of applications—particularly social media—always sending out notifications and vibrations while your phone is locked.

Notification By progressively lowering the loudness of consecutive warnings from the same app, you may lessen the disruptive effect of constant alerts with Cooldown.

When you start receiving a ton of group chat messages or social media updates, which can easily become overwhelming, this can be incredibly helpful.

Vibrate When Unlocked

In Android 15 Beta 1.2, there is an additional option called “Vibrate When Unlocked.” You can receive notifications on your lock screen without your phone vibrating if you turn off this feature.

When you’re attempting to go to asleep, in a quiet place, during a meeting, or in any other situation where having continuous vibrations would be annoying, this subtle notification mode can be helpful.

When “Vibrate When Unlocked” is enabled, alerts will still be sent to you; the unsettling vibration will not occur.

Improved Notification Handling

A Tailored Approach
Enhancements aimed at improving user control over phone alerts

These new features for Android 15 demonstrate Google’s efforts to improve customers’ notification experiences.

By providing more precise settings over vibrations and noises for notifications, they are addressing frequent issues and enabling users to personalize alerts to their preferences.

FAQs

What is the Notification Cooldown feature in Android 15?

Notification Cooldown allows users to reduce the disruptive impact of frequent notifications by progressively lowering the sound of successive alerts from the same app, making the notification experience less intrusive.

How does the Vibrate When Unlocked setting work?

This setting allows notifications to appear on the lock screen without causing the phone to vibrate. It’s ideal for situations where silence is preferred but you still need to be alerted, like meetings or late-night hours.

Can I customize how notifications behave on my Android device with these new features?

Yes, these features are designed to give users greater control over how and when their devices notify them, including options to customize sound and vibration settings for specific scenarios.

Are these features available on all Android devices running Android 15?

Currently, the Notification Cooldown and Vibrate When Unlocked features are available in the Beta 1.2 version of Android 15 and are expected to roll out widely with the official release.

What are the benefits of using Notification Cooldown?

The primary benefit is reducing notification fatigue by managing how loud and often your device alerts you, especially from apps that send frequent notifications, thereby creating a less disturbing environment.

Apple Advises Against Overnight Charging Under Pillows for iPhone Safety

Apple's iPhone 15: USB Type-C Cable
iPhone 15: Charging

Highlights

  • Apple warns against charging iPhones under pillows or blankets to prevent overheating.
  • Official support page highlights risks of using non-certified charging accessories.
  • Emphasizes importance of using well-ventilated spaces for charging devices.
  • Cautions against using damaged cables or adapters to avoid safety hazards.

No one wants to wake up with only 2% battery on their phone and have to rush out.

However, Apple has warned iPhone users about charging their phones overnight under a pillow or blanket

On an Apple support page titled “Important iPhone safety info”, they caution: “…don’t sleep on a device, charger, or wireless charging pad when it’s plugged in.

And don’t put them under a blanket, pillow or against your body. Keep your iPhone, charger and any wireless charger well-ventilated when using or charging. Be extra careful if you have a condition affecting heat detection.”

Apple Says No to Overnight Charging

Apple Advises Against Overnight Charging Under Pillows for iPhone Safety

There have been instances of fires starting when an iPhone was under bedding while charging.

This applies to all phones, not just iPhones. Before bed, ensure your handset isn’t charging under pillows or blankets and is properly ventilated.

Another warning covers using dodgy charging gear, which has caused serious issues before. Many of us need to find official Apple chargers and cables.

The typical reaction is to balk at paying $19 for a new plug and another $19 for a cable from the Apple Store, when you saw a $4.99 uncertified one at the corner shop.

As Apple and others no longer include plugs with new phones, newbie iPhone owners may consider splashing out on official accessories.

Never use damaged charging bricks or cables

Official support page highlights risks of using non-certified charging accessories

Unless cheap third-party replacements are certified “Made for iPhone”, avoid them. Here’s what Apple says about using uncertified charging kit: “You can charge iPhone with ‘Made for iPhone’ or other third-party USB 2.0+ cables/adapters complying with safety regs. Others may not meet standards, posing risk of death or injury.”

Apple adds: “Using damaged cables/chargers, or charging around moisture, risks fire, shock, injury or iPhone/property damage.” Look out for these on your plug – any mean it’s unsafe and needs replacing:

  • Plug/prongs damaged
  • Cable fraying/damage
  • Adapter exposed to excessive moisture/liquid spillage
  • Adapter dropped, casing damaged

While Apple says this, it applies to all mobiles regardless of brand. Some may see this as Apple pushing accessory sales. But as reported, using dodgy charging gear can be dangerous.

FAQs

Why does Apple recommend not charging an iPhone under a pillow?

Apple advises against this practice because it can lead to overheating, potentially causing fires. Ensuring the device is in a well-ventilated area reduces the risk of heat build-up.

What risks are associated with using uncertified charging accessories?

Using non-certified chargers and cables can lead to electrical malfunctions, posing risks of fire, electric shock, and damage to the iPhone itself.

How can I ensure my iPhone is charging safely?

Keep your charging iPhone in a ventilated space, use only certified “Made for iPhone” accessories, and avoid charging in moist environments or with damaged equipment.

What should I do if my charging cable or adapter is damaged?

If your charging equipment shows signs of wear, such as frayed cables or broken adapters, replace it immediately with certified products to ensure safety and device compatibility.

Is it safe to charge my iPhone overnight?

While charging overnight is common, it’s important to ensure the iPhone is not covered by any material that could trap heat, like bedding or clothing, to avoid overheating risks.

Apple to Host London Event Alongside Let Loose Product Launch

Highlights

  • “Let Loose” event set for 7th May with a simultaneous event in London.
  • Anticipated reveals include new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, Apple Pencil, and Magic Keyboard.
  • Possible hands-on demo of Vision Pro headset for UK journalists ahead of WWDC.
  • Event to be live-streamed globally on Apple’s website and YouTube.

As per Andrew Griffin from The Independent, Apple’s forthcoming “Let Loose” event will have an accompanying event in London.

The report doesn’t give any more details about what’s happening in London, but it could simply be a briefing for UK journalists to get hands-on time with the new iPads and other products Apple is likely to unveil next month.

Apple’s New iPad Event

Apple often invites the media to these kinds of hands-on briefings in cities like New York and Toronto after events.

Apple’s “Let Loose” event kicks off on Tuesday, 7th May at 7am Pacific Time, which is 3pm in London.

New gadgets expected to be announced include two new iPad Pro models, two new iPad Air models, an updated Apple Pencil, and a redesigned Magic Keyboard for iPads, with a chance of some surprises too.

The event will be live-streamed on Apple’s website and YouTube.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said he reckons Apple will launch its Vision Pro headset in more countries before its WWDC developers conference on 10th June.

Could this London “event” let UK journalists try the Vision Pro too? It might make sense for Apple to launch it internationally before unveiling visionOS 2 at WWDC, with the UK being one of nine expected launch countries.

But of course, this is just speculation based on a single line in a British newspaper. We’ll have to wait and see what Apple actually has planned.

FAQs

What is Apple’s “Let Loose” event?

Apple’s “Let Loose” event, scheduled for 7th May, is expected to unveil new iPad models, an updated Apple Pencil, and a redesigned Magic Keyboard. It will also be streamed online.

What can we expect from the accompanying event in London?

The London event likely serves as a media briefing, giving UK journalists a chance to experience new products firsthand. Details are limited, but it’s customary for Apple to hold such briefings in major cities.

Will the Vision Pro headset be featured at the London event?

It’s speculated that Apple might use the London event to demo the Vision Pro headset to UK media, especially since the UK is tipped to be among the first markets for its launch.

What are the start times for the event?

The main event begins at 7am Pacific Time, which is 3pm in London. This timing facilitates simultaneous activities and live demonstrations across different regions.

How can viewers watch the “Let Loose” event?

Apple fans and interested viewers can watch the event live on Apple’s official website or through their YouTube channel, ensuring global accessibility.

Highlights

  • Wyzr launches with a promising range of air coolers and more appliances on the horizon.
  • Fully domestic production aimed to strengthen India’s manufacturing capabilities.
  • Strategic partnerships with Dixon Technologies and Mirc Electronics to boost production.
  • Competitive pricing strategy set to challenge industry giants like LG and Samsung.

Think again if you believed that Mukesh Ambani’s goals were just restricted to the telecom industry.

The extremely competitive sector of consumer electronics and home appliances appears to be the next target for the Indian billionaire to disrupt.

This time, he’s creating a local brand named Wyzr, drawing inspiration from his own playbook.

The Wyzr Range: Air Coolers, Televisions, and Other Items

Wyzr launches with a promising range of air coolers and more appliances on the horizon

Wyzr has already debuted with a line of air coolers, despite the fact that their official website is still under construction and that the majority of their items have the “Coming Soon” tag.

But this is only the top of the iceberg, if rumors are to be accepted. Under the Wyzr brand, Reliance intends to provide an extensive range of appliances, encompassing air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, televisions, small appliances, and LED light bulbs.

An Incredibly Indian Project

Wyzr pledges to be an entirely domestic endeavor, in contrast to Reliance’s previous entry into the appliance industry under the Reconnect brand, when goods were created and produced by outside partners.

In its endeavor to create a strong domestic manufacturing environment for Wyzr goods, Reliance is not letting any opportunities pass.

Wider Reach, Competitive Pricing

In its endeavor to create a strong domestic manufacturing environment for Wyzr goods, Reliance is not letting any opportunities pass.

Industry insiders claim that the business has already advanced negotiations with reputable contract manufacturers including Dixon Technologies and Mirc Electronics, the parent firm of the storied Onida brand.

Moreover, it has been stated that Reliance is using the opportunity presented by its recent acquisition of the majority of the Indian subsidiary of the US-based manufacturing solutions company Sanmina Corporation to establish a Wyzr product production facility at Sanmina’s current 100-acre Chennai site.

Reliance appears to have learned from its prior mistakes, even though its earlier appliance offers were mostly sold through its own Reliance Digital stores.

According to reports, Wyzr products will be offered for sale not only at Reliance’s physical stores but also via independent dealers, small-town chains of stores, and even large online retailers like Amazon and Flipkart, guaranteeing a far greater reach and accessibility for customers throughout the nation.

Not only that, but Reliance also seems to be in the pricing game.

Reliance Retail’s Chief Financial Officer, Dinesh Taluja, made a suggestion on the company’s most recent fourth-quarter results call that Wyzr items might be priced competitively, undercutting industry heavyweights like LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool.

FAQs

What products does the Wyzr brand offer?

Wyzr has launched with air coolers and plans to expand into air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, televisions, small appliances, and LED light bulbs.

How is Wyzr different from Reliance’s previous consumer electronics brand?

Unlike the Reconnect brand which involved outsourced design and production, Wyzr is a fully domestic initiative with products designed and manufactured in India.

Where will Wyzr products be manufactured?

Wyzr products will be manufactured in India, utilizing facilities like the 100-acre Chennai site of Sanmina Corporation recently acquired by Reliance.

Where can consumers purchase Wyzr products?

Wyzr products will be available at Reliance Digital stores, independent dealers, regional store chains, and major online platforms like Amazon and Flipkart.

What is Wyzr’s pricing strategy?

Wyzr aims to offer competitive pricing that undercuts traditional market leaders, providing cost-effective alternatives to consumers.

Huawei Pura 70 Series Faces AI Privacy Concerns Over Photo Editing

Highlights

  • AI-powered “smart retouching” mistakenly removes clothing elements.
  • Users report privacy concerns due to the AI feature on Huawei Pura 70.
  • Huawei promises software updates to resolve AI issues.
  • Online outcry on Weibo as users demonstrate the controversial AI feature.

In 2024, artificial intelligence will have had a particularly significant impact on smartphones, with a specific impact on photography.

AI has completely changed the way we take and process pictures, from creating images with just text instructions to automatically eliminating undesired items.

But a recent event involving Huawei’s most recent Pura 70 series serves as a sobering reminder that this potent technology has two sides.

The Clothing-Related Puzzle

AI-powered "smart retouching" mistakenly removes clothing elements
AI-powered “smart retouching” mistakenly removes clothing elements

With only one tap, the AI-powered “smart retouching” function on Huawei’s Pura 70 smartphones can eliminate undesired items from photos.

Regretfully, unhappy users on Weibo, the enormously popular social media network in China, have been alerting people to a worrying problem: the feature might unintentionally delete pieces of people’s clothing, potentially exposing parts of their body without their knowledge.

Videos that are making the rounds on Weibo demonstrate how simple it is to modify photographs in such an unacceptable way.

The AI program can remove clothes with a single swipe, which poses major privacy issues as well as the possibility of abuse and unintentional transmission of offensive content.

Recognizing the Issue and Offering a Solution

Huawei promises software updates to resolve AI issues

Huawei customer support agents have acknowledged the problem in reaction to the criticism and have attributed it to bugs in the AI system that powers the retouching tool.

Users have been reassured that future software updates will fix these alarming bugs.

Although Huawei’s pledge to address the issue is a positive move, the problem still has to be resolved quickly.

Here’s How a iPhone Survived a Jaw-Dropping 16000-Foot Drop, Defying Odds

Highlights

  • iPhone 14 Pro Max withstands a 16,000-foot drop from an airplane.
  • Experiment shows smartphones can handle falls from extreme heights onto grass.
  • Terminal velocity and soft landings key to surviving high drops.
  • Experts explain the physics behind smartphones surviving massive falls.

We’ve all been there – that heart-stopping moment when your smartphone goes flying out of your hand, and you brace for the worst. But get this – an iPhone recently survived an insane 16,000-foot fall from the ripped-open fuselage of an Alaska Airlines flight!

After this crazy incident back in January, the folks over at The Wall Street Journal just had to investigate how the heck an iPhone 14 Pro Max could possibly withstand such a terrifying plummet.

These things can barely handle a drop from knee height onto the kitchen tiles without shattering into a million pieces!

The Great Phone Drop Experiment

So what did they do?

They got their hands on the latest iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models and started yeeting them from obscene heights – we’re talking 300 feet up!

They weren’t even using cases or anything. Just naked phones freefalling towards the cold, hard ground.

When these bad boys came crashing down onto some lovely, cushiony grass, they emerged pretty much unscathed!

A few scuffs here and there, but otherwise perfectly functional. It’s like they were just built different or something.

The Physics of Falling Phones

Turns out, there’s some pretty good science behind why these modern smartphones can survive such massive drops.

The big brains at The Wall Street Journal brought in some serious experts to break it down.

Apparently, it all comes down to this thing called “terminal velocity.”

Basically, no matter how high up you drop a phone from, it’ll eventually hit a max speed thanks to air resistance and its tiny size.

And that magic number for smartphones?

Terminal velocity and soft landings key to surviving high drops

A casual 60 mph!

Then there’s the landing itself. If you drop your phone onto something soft and squishy like grass, it slows down way more gently on impact.

But something hard like tile or concrete? Say goodbye to your phone – it’s getting that instant, bone-crunching stop that’ll shatter it into oblivion.

So while cases are still a good idea for us mere mortals prone to pocket fumbles, it’s pretty wild to think our smartphones could theoretically survive falls from freakin’ airplanes!

FAQs

How did an iPhone survive a 16,000-foot fall from an airplane?

The iPhone hit its terminal velocity during the fall, which limited the impact speed to about 60 mph, and it likely landed on a softer surface like grass, which absorbed much of the impact.

What is terminal velocity and how does it relate to dropping smartphones?

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed an object reaches when falling through the air. For smartphones, this is about 60 mph, which is slow enough to prevent catastrophic damage if landing on softer surfaces.

Can all smartphones survive such high falls?

While many modern smartphones are designed to withstand impacts from falls, survival depends on factors like height, speed, and surface of impact. Not all smartphones may survive extreme heights, especially without protective cases.

What should I do to protect my smartphone from high falls?

Using a sturdy case and ensuring that you handle your device carefully, especially in situations where it might be dropped from significant heights, is advisable.

Are there any real-world instances where smartphones survived extreme falls?

Yes, there have been reported instances, such as an iPhone surviving a 16,000-foot fall from an airplane, illustrating the resilience of modern smartphone build and design under extraordinary circumstances.

No matter where you spot an image in iOS – could be in Photos, a screenshot, Safari, Messages, you name it – all you gotta do is long press firmly on the main subject or object.

Like magic, iOS will automatically separate and lift that subject right off the background for you.

Once you’ve removed the background, you can drag and drop that isolated subject image into messages to use as a sticker.

Or copy and paste it into video editing apps to drop it onto a fresh new background. Neat, right?

If you want to keep it as a regular image file, just long press again, tap on the subject, and select Copy or Share to save it to your photos.

Deeply Integrated Convenience

Vivo X100 Ultra Introduces Revolutionary Blue Image Camera Technology

Highlights

  • Vivo X100 Ultra features groundbreaking Blue Image technology for exceptional low-light photography.
  • Equipped with a 200MP periscope lens and enhanced by Zeiss optics for superior image quality.
  • Blue Image technology enables stunning backlit portrait capabilities.
  • Offers potential to surpass Samsung’s Nightography as the top mobile camera.

You know how every year, phone makers hype up their latest camera tech like it’s the second coming?

Well, Vivo’s taking that to new levels with their upcoming X100 Ultra flagship.

They’re banging on about this “Blue Image” wizardry that promises to put Samsung’s beloved shooters in the shade.

What’s the Blue Image Scoop?

From what we can gather, it’s some fancy new camera setup that Vivo’s top guy Jingdong is gassing up on Chinese social media.

He’s going on about how it combines cutting-edge optics, beastly image processing, and raw computing grunt.

The end goal?

Next-level low-light skills and the ability to nail those slick backlit portraits like a pro.

If the hype’s to be believed, Blue Image will let the X100 Ultra see in the dark better than a barn owl.

We’re talking noiselessly brightening up those midnight cityscapes and dimly-lit interiors without breaking a sweat.

If they crack that one, it could dethrone Samsung’s Nightography as the low-light king.

Another string to Blue Image’s bow?

Apparently, it’ll make shooting against bright backgrounds a breeze.

You know those artsy backlit portraits that are all the rage on Instagram?

The kind that puts your subject in silhouette against a vibrant sunsetty backdrop?

Vivo reckons this tech will have you nailing those shots like Annie Leibovitz herself.

Zeiss Does It

To give the X100 Ultra’s shooters even more oomph, Vivo’s brought famed optics titans Zeiss into the mix.

Their glass already graces some of the best mobile cams out there, so pairing it with Blue Image’s digital trickery could be a masterstroke.

If the rumour mill churns out truth, the X100 Ultra is packing some serious camera heat too.

We’re talking a wild 200MP periscope lens for crazy zoom reach, plus a 50MP main snapper, an ultrawide, and another tele cam. Sheesh.

Dethrone the King?

Vivo can truly deliver on that Blue Image promise

Frankly, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra is still the Android cam champ for my money. Its low-light game and versatile lens setup are just chef’s kiss.

But if Vivo can truly deliver on that Blue Image promise? They might finally dethrone the South Korean giant.

A Glimpse at Blue’s Potential

For a taster of what Blue Image could bring, just gawp at the stunning shots from last year’s X100 Pro.

Vibrant colours, gorgeous bokeh for days, and and depth like you’re peering into a diorama. If the Ultra builds on that foundation with its new tech? We could be seeing real DSLR-beating skills.

Of course, all this Blue Image hoopla could just be marketing spiel to get the hype train rolling.

But even as a cynical old photog, I’m itching to see if Vivo’s put their money where their mouth is. If it lives up to the hype, we could finally have a Samsung slayer on our hands for mobile photography supremacy. Now that’s exciting!
