Getting started with Copilot on Telegram is simply a matter of finding and opening a conversation with the @CopilotOfficialBot.

After the bot asks the user to provide a phone number to access the Telegram account, all the Copilot functionality is available from the chat.

According to Microsoft, Copilot for Telegram is currently in beta and features include knowledge search, travel suggestions, sports updates, movie recommendations, and more.

However, this chatbot currently works in text mode onlyand is not able to process images.

“Copilot for Telegram responds to a wide range of issues in natural language, such as seeking expertise, travel guidance, sports updates, and movie recommendations. Let Copilot enhance your Telegram experience with its quick wit and curious nature,” the company said in a blog post.

“Copilot is a personal generative AI assistant powered by GPT model and Bing Search, available within Telegram,” said Microsoft.

The Copilot bot is not limited to a specific platform, meaning you can chat with it on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Microsoft specified that Telegram is “currently in beta and free for all users.”

Copilot on Telegram can perform various tasks to enhance users experience:

Microsoft’s initiative to integrate Copilot with Telegram is part of its strategy to make its AI assistant widely available across different platforms and apps.

Vivo X200 Series to Feature MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Chipset: Leaked Details

Highlights

  • Vivo X200 series rumoured to debut with MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset.
  • Dimensity 9400 built on TSMC’s 3nm process, promising enhanced performance.
  • Vivo closely collaborating with MediaTek on AI development for the new chip.
  • X200 series expected to feature high-resolution display and top-end cameras.

The X series is Vivo’s flagship line of devices, always featuring top-shelf hardware and impressive camera capabilities.

The latest Vivo X100 Ultra and X100s models are just out in China, but already rumours are swirling about the Vivo X200 range.

Dimensity 9400 Could Power X200

A new leak from the usually reliable tipster SmartPikachu claims the Vivo X200 series could be the first to ship with MediaTek’s upcoming flagship Dimensity 9400 chipset under the hood.

Of course, leaks should always be taken with a pinch of salt, but this one is generating some buzz.

For those unaware, the Dimensity 9400 is MediaTek’s next top-of-the-line mobile processor, pegged to rival Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip that will power 2024’s premium Android phones.

It is the first MediaTek chip to be built on TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process and promises big gains in performance and efficiency.

A Potent AI Powerhouse

Aside from raw speed, the Dimensity 9400 is also rumoured to deliver enhanced artificial intelligence abilities.

This connects nicely with earlier reports that Vivo is working very closely with MediaTek on AI development in the new chip.

There are a few reasons Vivo could have bagged the honours of being first with the Dimensity 9400.

This brand was among the first to adopt the previous Dimensity 9000 series in its X100 lineup, and it has also enjoyed a close partnership with MediaTek on chip development.

Setting the Pace

Unique selling point in the premium Android segment for some time

If the leaks are to be believed, Vivo may be seen to steal a march on rivals if the company adopts the Dimensity 9400 early into the X200 phones.

Being launched early, may give the company a unique selling point in the premium Android segment for some time.

Other Rumoured Highlights of X200

The X200 is also rumoured to carry a few other pieces of hardware that are worthy of a 2024 flagship, outside of the headlining chip.

That probably includes a high-resolution display, top-end cameras, and bleeding-edge AI capabilities that take advantage of Dimensity 9400.

Whenever it arrives, the X200 series powered by MediaTek’s finest silicon can be expected to face stiff competition from other Android heavyweights like Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus launching their own Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-based flagships around the same time.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Leaks Reveal Battery Upgrade, Camera Enhancements, and July Launch

Highlights

  • Galaxy Z Flip6 to feature a dual-cell battery setup totalling 3,790mAh.
  • Expected camera upgrade with a 50MP primary sensor.
  • Design improvements to reduce the crease on the folding display.
  • Unpacked event in July to showcase Z Flip6, Z Fold6, and more.

Leaks continue to make their rounds on the net in regards to the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Flip6 from Samsung.

Recent certification listings have revealed some key details about the vertically folding handset.

Flash Forward: Battery Boost Ahead

Perhaps the most notable of these is an upgrade to the battery capacity of the Z Flip 6, revealed by FCC and PSI certifications.

The device is to feature a dual-cell setup: one with 1,000mAh and the other with 2,790mAh rated batteries, adding up to a combined 3,790mAh rated capacity.

While Samsung could market this as either a 3,900mAh or 4,000mAh typical battery, the bump from the preceding Z Flip5’s 3,591mAh-rated capacity doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade at just under 300mAh.

Of course, the hope is that the supposed Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset might be efficient enough in power to derive better endurance.

Apart from the battery, recent leaks hint at camera and design upgrades for Samsung’s next clamshell foldable.

For example, the Z Flip 6 might come equipped with a 50MP primary camera—a notable upgrade over its predecessor’s imaging hardware.

Moreover, the phone could rock a thicker folding display to minimize the dreaded crease when unfolded.

On the design front, third-party case renders have already provided a look at what the Z Flip6 will likely look like.

According to the report, the fitness band will arrive as the SM-Q503 model in sizes between 5 to 12 and the battery capacity will scale from 17mAh to 22.5mAh, depending on the size.

Newly leaked images show the Galaxy Ring in a sleek black colour option, while the FCC listing confirms Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth 5.4 for seamless connectivity.

  • Realme GT 7 Pro confirmed for India launch by VP Chase Xu.
  • Global launch scheduled before the end of 2024.
  • Successor to the rumoured GT 6 Pro, which may launch in October.
  • GT 6 series to feature novel battery tech and curved display.

Realme has now officially confirmed that its GT 7 Pro flagship smartphone will be coming to India later this year.

The confirmation comes from the horse’s mouth, i.e., Chase Xu, Vice President of Realme, when he was asked on social media.

On being asked why the brand did not bring the GT 5 Pro to India, Xu replied, “this year, we will launch GT7 Pro in India.”

He said that GT 7 Pro will have a global launch before the end of 2024.

While comments from Xu only confirm that GT 7 Pro is bound to come to India, Indian consumers will have to wait till the end of the year for the actual launch to happen.

No details about the device’s specifications or pricing were shared.

Interestingly, the naming of the GT 7 Pro would suggest that it is a successor to a yet-to-be-announced GT 6 Pro.

That’s a bit confusing to say the least.

According to rumours, the GT 6 Pro might be launched closer to October and may bring a large 6,000mAh battery and the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Besides the GT 6 Pro, Realme also works on the standard GT 6 flagship.

It’s tipped to boast new-gen silicon negative electrode batteries of a high-energy density paired with 100W fast charging.

There are also rumors of a curved display.

The naming strategy for Realme’s upcoming GT series flagships is a bit confusing, as the successors seem to be announced before the predecessors.

The brand will likely be able to share more concrete details and a clearer roadmap for such launches in the coming months.

Heating Up the Competition

Samsung to Boost Smartphone Production Through Chinese JDM Partners in 2024

Highlights

  • Samsung plans to increase JDM smartphone production from 44 million to 67 million units in 2024.
  • Outsourced production to account for 25% of Samsung’s total 270 million unit target.
  • Joint Design Manufacturing involves collective design and shared sales with Chinese partners.
  • Samsung aims to navigate US-China tensions and expand investment in the Chinese market.

Over the years, Samsung has used a process known as Joint Design Manufacturing to partner with firms in China for the manufacturing of smartphones.

This strategy allows the tech giant to cut its production cost by sharing some of the pre-production work with its partners.

Usually, Samsung keeps this trick for its budget class smartphones and not for the high-end flagship models, but it looks like the company wants to make this cooperation with the Chinese firms even closer.

Outsourced Production to Account for 25%

Samsung plans to increase JDM smartphone production from 44 million to 67 million units in 2024
25% of Samsung’s phone production this year is expected to come from outsourced sources

In a report by Korean tech media The Elec, Samsung is planning to increase smartphone production through Chinese JDM partners from 44 million units in the previous year to 67 million units in 2024.

This would mean that outsourced smartphones will account for a quarter of Samsung’s targeted production of 270 million units this year.

At Samsung, in the aspect of Joint Design Manufacturing, it is a process whereby the design process is handled collectively with the Chinese partners.

These partners are then given a percentage from the sales made.

Samsung plans to ramp up smartphone production through Chinese JDM partners from 44 million units in the previous year to 67 million units in 2024

Rumours of Samsung ramping up production of smartphones through JDM in China this year have gained steam amid Chinese Premier Li Qiang’s open arms to Samsung Chairman Jay Y. Lee for more investment from the Korean giant in China.

Before a landmark summit involving Li, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida — the first trilateral talks between the Asian nations in over four years — a meeting took place in Seoul between China’s second highest-ranking official and the Korean executive.

Navigating Tensions

Joint Design Manufacturing involves collective design and shared sales with Chinese partners
Once the design of a JDM smartphone is finalized, Samsung, as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), proceeds with mass production

It is believed that Samsung has invested $24 billion in the Chinese market during the last six years.

However, the Korean IT behemoth has faced rising challenges amid escalating US-China relations, particularly as it deals with export curbs imposed by Washington to limit China’s access to advanced processors.

Li’s decision to meet with the Samsung CEO is consistent with the thoughts stated by the Chinese leader during an earlier bilateral meeting with Yoon.

During the meeting, he urged Korean firms to enhance their investment and business engagement in China, as well as cooperation between Seoul and Beijing to ensure the stability of industrial supply chains.

Highlights

  • Realme GT6 to launch with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and AI capabilities.
  • Leaked retail box reveals AI Night Vision, Smart Loop, Smart Removal, and Smart Search.
  • High-density battery with 100W wired charging support expected.

Chinese smartphone maker Realme is slated to launch its newest flagship, the Realme GT6, next month.

In an exclusive reveal, images of the device’s retail box have leaked, courtesy of @OnLeaks in partnership with Smartprix.

The leaked box images hint at Realme’s first handset to pack built-in AI capabilities out of the box.

The front of the box has the phone branding along with the “Next Ai” tagline.

The real details, however, pop out on the rear.

AI Features Unveiled

Four specific AI features are listed on the box: AI Night Vision, Smart Loop, Smart Removal, and Smart Search.

AI Night Vision is probably about enhanced low-light photography, and Smart Loop might offer something like text summarization.

Smart Removal can be used to clear an object that is unnecessary from a picture, and Smart Search sounds like an enhanced find feature.

Coming to specifications, the Realme GT6 is said to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

Other features might include a “high-density” battery that could support 100W wired charging, according to leaks, though the battery capacity has not been known.

The premium flagship will come at a slightly higher price than the just-launched Realme GT 6T.

Realme has not revealed pricing yet, but improved hardware and the AI capabilities will likely hike the cost.

The name is written with bright yellow letters on the front of the box, and there’s the brand’s iconic mascot.

Though official details are scant, it appears that the Realme GT6 is the most technologically advanced smartphone from the company to date.

The inbuilt AI could be that slight bit of an edge within an otherwise already very competitive sector.

Now that we are getting closer to the June 2024 launch date, more concrete details about Realme’s AI-focused flagship should come out soon.
