Google Pixel Buds Pro Review: Better Late Than Never

0
Google Pixel Buds Pro

The new Pixel Buds Pro is Google’s foray into the premium category of TWS earbuds where other competitors like Sony or Apple are some of the best names in the industry. Google is also featuring active noise cancellation for the first time in one of its earbuds. Combining the ANC with new custom drivers and improved battery life, Google Pixel Buds Pro seem to be ticking every checkbox that will make it one of the best products in the target category. Let’s find out more in our detailed Google Pixel Buds Pro review.

Google Pixel Buds Pro review

So first of all, the case that Google Pixel Buds Pro come in is similar to the previous model. And what needs to be reiterated is that these Pixel Bud cases are highly underrated. It is nothing like those other wireless headphones’ thick or large cases that always seem too big with no stylish finish. This is a compact and well-made case.

Although the white colour might get a little dirty after a while, that’s probably a thing that can be overlooked. The case also has a super satisfying magnet to open and close along with being IPX2 splash-resistant. The case sports a USB-C port at the bottom but can also be wirelessly charged using any Qi wireless charger. You can also charge it on the back of your phone if it supports power sharing.

Coming to the design part, Pixel Buds are not really known for design innovation, are they? Just like the last three Pixel Buds, this one looks similar with changes so minute that the average user would never notice. Though once you put them on, you might feel the design change that the eyes post probably will miss. The wingtips that are meant to keep the buds tucked in the last Pixel Buds are nowhere to be found here. This, however, may come as a piece of good news for those who were annoyed by their presence last time.

In an oval shape design, the buds come in four colours i.e. Coral, Charcoal, Fog, and Lemongrass.

Google Pixel Buds Pro

But how does it sound? In simple user-friendly terms, it sounds good. They come in a single 11mm dynamic driver inside each earbud which allows a proper balance of high and low sounds. The sound exudes a sort of warmth maintaining appropriate instrument separation. For music lovers, the full fledged equaliser in Pixel Buds Pro would be an added feature.

This is also the first earbuds by Google to have active noise cancellation. And like all ANC, here too it depends on how well the earbuds fit the ear. To assist in situations where fit is not up to the mark, Buds Pro has what they call a custom silicon powered “Silent Seal” inside the buds. These adapt to ears in order to provide optimum noise cancellation.

Another aspect where Google Pixel Buds Pro scores well compared to other competitors in the segment is its good battery life. As per the brand, Pixel Buds Pro comes with 7 hours of playback when active noise cancellation is turned on. With turned the feature on, for those who are not really bothered by the outside noises, the Pixel Buds Pro would easily have an 11 hour smooth run.

Google Pixel Buds Pro Specifications

  • Bluetooth 5.0, SBC/AAC codec
  • 11mm drivers
  • Active Noise Cancelling, Transparency Mode
  • IPX4 water resistance (case is IPX2)
  • USB-C wired charging, Qi wireless charging
  • 7hr battery life, 20hr including case with ANC on (11hrs, 31hrs respectively for ANC off)
  • 5 min charge of buds in the case gives 1hr listening time with ANC on
  • Features: multipoint, in-ear detection, customisable touch-and-hold functionality,
  • Only Charcoal colour is available in SG.

  • While the design will be similar to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, there is no comparison between the two when it comes to cost
  • Mass production is expected to bring in huge sales for the company as Huawei users always look out for new smartphones

2022 has anyhow been an excellent year for all tech giants as they all have churned out sufficient models throughout the year with iPhone 14 series and Pixel 7 series from Apple and Google, respectively, being released very recently.

Huawei is all set to launch its newest foldable model, Huawei Mate X3, which has been eagerly awaited for quite some time. An interesting thing is that Huawei was one of the first brands to come out with a foldable smartphone in the market.

HUAWEI MATE X3

The company has been working on the Mate X3 foldable model for quite some time now as many users have been waiting to hear official word regarding the handset, its details, and the launch date.

As it generally happens prior to any devices’ launch, there are reliable tipsters who always have inside information due to their connections that they immediately relay to the public online, which has happened again.

Ronaldo

Introduction

Cristiano Ronaldo is a name that needs no introduction as the benchmarks he has set in Football are near impossible to match. He was recently spotted using a Huawei Mate RS, or so it seems as many web portals showed a photograph of the Portuguese Football legend with a Huawei model.

Highlights

  • Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design is an excellent smartphone that was spotted with Cristiano Ronaldo
  • Ronaldo is well-known for being passionate about Porsche cars but the fact that he now has a Huawei model has piqued the interest of many users
  • It could very well be that Porsche offered a customized smartphone model as part of the package

Brief Summary

Cristiano Ronaldo is a name that every passionate football lover is aware of because many of them aspire to be like him and make a name for themselves in the game.

However, it is one thing to aspire to be like Ronaldo and actually becoming like him because it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to reach the stature he’s reached or the respect and adulation he has received.

Ronaldo is one of the pioneers that set a certain standard, like Pele, by transforming football from a mere game to an art, along with contemporaries like Lionel Messi, Ricardo Kaka, George Best, among others.

Recently, the former World Footballer of the Year was spotted with what appeared to be a Huawei smartphone as shown in a Weibo post, where many fans are speculating that it could very well be the Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design Edition.

Huawei Mate RS

There are equally strong speculations that Ronaldo owns eight different mobile phones, while the Huawei one was only for navigation process, and all others were Apple iPhones.

The interesting thing is that Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design was launched in 2018 to commemorate Porsche car’s 70th anniversary and it also coincided with the release of the Porsche 911nGT 3 RS.

Huawei Mate RS was customized for the car as both Porsche and Huawei had entered into a partnership and the customized smartphone too was part of the package for anyone who purchased the car.

Key Specifications of Huawei Mate RS

Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design comes with a 40MP Leica three-camera setup, along with an in-screen fingerprint lock, feature face unlocking and rear fingerprint scanner.

It is available in two colour options- Red and Black, while the storage variant is 6GB RAM/512GB internal configuration and its starting price is 12,999 yuan, which is a little expensive.

iPhone 14 Pro Delivery Delayed; Users Can’t Get it Before Christmas

0
iPhone 14

Introduction

Apple iPhone 14 series was launched in September 2022 and received good reviews from masses and classes alike, which led to massive production, but as of late, if you want it delivered now, it is likely that you will have to wait until Christmas, or more, by the time it arrives in your home.

Highlights

  • iPhone 14 and 14 Pro are two of the most renowned models to have come out in 2022 but delivery may not happen anytime soon
  • Videos have surfaced showing production workers forcibly getting out of their jobs
  • It appears that users may have to wait even until January 2023 to get their iPhone 14 Pro

Brief Summary

Christmas is just around the corner and many people have already started preparing for it in full measure. Apart from the regular festivities like Christmas trees, sweets, plum cakes, among others, people constantly think of something new to gift for a friend or relative.

Gifting a smartphone to someone dear to you is truly an enthralling experience but if you’re planning to gift an iPhone 14 Pro as a present, then it is highly likely that you’re plans will be dashed.

The likelihood of buying an iPhone 14 Pro is getting lower and lower with each passing day because apart from being the latest model from Apple, there have been violent protests in Zhengzhou, China, at Apple’s primary iPhone production facility.

iPhone 14 Pro

Citing Covid-19 concerns, many employees tried to leave the facility, due to which there have been confrontations and even ugly altercations between police officers and workers, due to which there have been nationwide confinements in China.

Due to this massive disorder, iPhone 14 production has stopped in China due to which delivery times of iPhone 14 Pro is getting extended at regular intervals, which is why it is extremely difficult to get it by Christmas, which is why iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro cannot be delivered before December 28, 2022.

The news was given on Apple’s official website, while 14 Pro won’t be available before January 2023. However, iPhone 14 and 14 Plus users are in luck as these two models are available for the following week and will be delivered on time.

Conclusion

Given the tense situation in China, it is highly probable that delivery times for iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will continue to be extended as time passes on but India stands to gain here as Apple will more likely try to enhance smartphone production there.

Nonetheless, it would be difficult to keep up with user demand during the holiday shopping season but things might work out fine in the end.

Twitter 2.0

Introduction

Elon Musk became the new Twitter CEO on October 28, 2022, and since then has brought in a slew of changes in just one month of taking over, and shows no sign of stopping as he has already seems to have planned out a slew of new features for Twitter 2.0, as it has been dubbed.

Highlights

  • Elon Musk revealed recently in a company speech that he plans to usher in a new era with new features
  • The features, in question, might be revolutionary if implemented for which Musk has the blueprint ready, or so it seems
  • Twitter is heading in the right direction, according to Musk, with him at the helm

Twitter 2.0 Expectations

While Elon Musk’s reputation as a billionaire entrepreneur and erstwhile Tesla owner are well known, his takeover of social media giant Twitter has met with mixed reactions from all corners where some are happy and some think he is the worst thing to happen to the platform.

The road hasn’t been easy for the Tesla CEO as he has undergone a year long legal battle with Twitter as he had earlier proposed to purchase the platform for $44 billion only to walk out on the deal later, leaving no choice for Twitter owners but to take the case to court.

Musk took over as Twitter CEO on October 28, 2022 and no sooner had he become the boss that he started issuing a whip to all employees, firing those whom he saw as lazy and asking others to work for 40 hours a week or risk similar consequences.

In a recently held speech with the company, Musk revealed his plans for Twitter 2.0 through different slides where he envisioned all the features that he had planned for the platform, along with the company statistics since he became CEO.

Twitter 2.0

According to the statistics, the Twitter sign-ups have reached an all-time high until November 16, 2022, which is 2 million per day since the second week of the month and is a 66% increase over the same period in 2021.

The slides further revealed that hate speech had lowered considerably on Twitter, while fake accounts had spiked in the initial stages but they too had come down at a considerable rate, which implies that they were the impersonators that had been reported.

The new features that Musk plans on launching are videos, longer tweets via character limit, payments, encrypted DMs (direct messaging), relaunching blue verification, service advertising, new hiring following mass layoffs and resignations in the company.

Conclusion

While Elon Musk has listed out the features, it remains to be seen as to how he will implement these plans after the massive firing spree he is going through by laying off nearly 3,500 Twitter staff, prompting thousand others to resign in protest.

Given his skills, it is no secret that he can definitely pull off such a challenging task as he has been working 24/7 ever since taking over Twitter Inc. where even though he’s facing public ire, he can definitely work things out given his hardcore reputation of being a tough taskmaster that revolutionized the automobile industry through Tesla Inc.

Elon Musk becoming the owner of Twitter is one that will dwarf every other thing that has happened this year, where he has brought in different changes since taking over the platform in October 2022 and now he has hinted to create a Tesla smartphone to rival Google and Apple smartphones.

Highlights

  • Elon Musk has teasingly hinted at a potential Tesla smartphone model that he has in mind that will prove to be an alternative for Google and Apple handsets
  • He replied to a user query on Twitter where he was asked to create a new smartphone in the likely circumstance of Twitter app getting removed from App and Play stores
  • It seems Musk wants to take no chances and might well go ahead with his suggestion

Brief Summary

Elon Musk has become a popular name since the past few weeks where possibly every human being on the planet has heard the name at least a dozen times as of late, whereas earlier he was known more by reputation for being a billionaire entrepreneur.

In 2021, Musk had proposed to purchase Twitter Inc. for a jaw-dropping $44 billion and the deal had been set but the problem was that Musk backed out at the last minute, leaving Twitter to take the matter to court, where both parties battled it out for a whole year.

The Tesla CEO was anointed the Twitter CEO on October 28, 2022, and soon brought in major changes in the company in just a span of one month, from firing incompetent employees to proposing to increase character limits.

But now it seems he plans to bring a new Tesla smartphone as well, acting out on a suggestion by Liz Wheeler, an American political commentator, who tweeted that Musk should create his own smartphone in the likelihood of Google and Apple booting Twitter from their app stores.

Tesla

She said further that if Musk goes ahead with her suggestion, half the people would ditch iPhone and Android, which she deemed ‘snooping’ and ‘biased’, to go for the Tesla smartphone.

Musk took the gauntlet and responded that while he hopes that things don’t come to that, he promised to make an alternative smartphone, if he’s left with no choice, which will be his very first venture in the smartphone market.

Conclusion

Although Apple & Google have shown no signs or hints of banning Twitter from their app stores, Musk may want to reassure users’ skepticism by stating that if push comes to shove, he will definitely create an alternative smartphone model to rival iPhone and Android.

Highlights

  • Elon Musk once said that he was “fairly nocturnal”.
  • In just a month of Twitter’s acquisition, looks like Musk is spending sleepless nights and working 24 hours.
  • He is probably fueled by diet coke as he works frantically to reshape Twitter in his colours.

Musk Fueled by Diet Coke While Working at Night

There have been many intriguing things happening ever since Elon Musk became CEO of Twitter on October 28, 2022, after a year-long battle with the social media giant, where he had backed out of a deal to purchase Twitter for $44 billion.

Musk is a billionaire entrepreneur that has revolutionized the automobile industry via Tesla Inc. and has received praise and accolades from anyone who owns a vehicle from the automobile giant.

The last month has seen Musk doing many things after acquiring Twitter like laying off thousands of employees, including 90% Indians, for incompetency, whilst simultaneously issuing a whip to the remaining ones to pull up their socks and work 40 hours a week with high intensity or risk similar consequences.

Musk seems to be working 24/7 and is also having many sleepless nights, which is understandable as he was purchased the largest social media platform for an astronomical amount and running it is no child’s play.

The Tesla CEO had once claimed that he was “fairly nocturnal” as he slept for not more than 6 hours a day but given the circumstances, he is not even getting that given that he has vowed to reorganize and reshape Twitter down to its very foundation.

Also, Musk has been tweeting strange and peculiar stuff on his Twitter handle ever since he took over it with the latest one being an image of his bedside table with two guns and four cans of diet coke, while the two pistols has left many users intrigued.

Diet Coke

One of them definitely seems to be centuries old flintlock model, while the other is quite modern, although it could very well be a toy or a pro, by the looks of it, as there is no trigger, due to which it could be a plastic gun.

Apparently Musk realized that his table was stained, due to which made another tweet saying ‘There is no excuse for my lack of coasters. Since diet coke contains a significant amount of caffeine, it is presumable that he is able to work due to it.

Introduction

Twitter is one of the biggest social media platforms that has now been taken over by Tesla CEO and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk who has brought many changes since taking over the platform in October 2022 but now has announced his further plan of action.

Highlights

  • Elon Musk has decided to increase 280 character limit for the convenience of users
  • Many people have called the 280 character limit annoying due to which the Twitter CEO plans to increase it to 420
  • Musk has announced that he plans to make Twitter as a free and accessible platform for people of different ideologies.

Musk’s Plan to Reorganize Twitter

Ever since Elon Musk has taken over as Twitter CEO/boss, there have been many changes that he has brought despite becoming the owner for barely a month and that too after going through a lot of legal hassles in the past 12 months.

The Tesla CEO’s appointment has met with polarizing views where some have hailed it as a revolutionary decision that will lead to the platform becoming more user-friendly, while others have expressed their dismay that this will only fuel hate speech and toxicity on the platform.

Elon Musk has made it clear that he is going to reorganize Twitter in more ways than one and he followed through on it immediately by first firing employees that were not doing their job properly and then suggesting to bring alternative smartphones should Twitter app be banned on Google and Apple app stores.

One of the biggest complaints that Twitter users had earlier was the 140 character limit due to which they had to tweet the same information in instalments, due to which it was later increased to 280 in 2018.

Now, Elon Musk has declared that he will increase the character limit to 420 after being suggested by a user to do so for ‘Twitter 2.0’ as he found the 280 character limit as abysmally low and, in his words, annoying, due to which Musk responded as a ‘good idea’.

Due to the character limit limitations, users could not post longer messages in one go and had to post a thread of tweets or share images of the notepad where in which the entire message was written.

Conclusion

Also, Musk has also decided to monetize text pieces so that people can subscribe and/or donate to shared pieces of writing on Twitter, which will inspire users to do the same in the future.

Introduction

Elon Musk has taken over as the CEO of Twitter in October 2022 and has brought many changes to the company, which have received polarizing responses from all around, but there are many other things that the Tesla CEO seems to have in mind.

Also Read: Elon Musk Issuing Employment Layoffs; Details Inside

Highlights

  • Musk has said that the microblogging platform may exceed one billion monthly users.
  • Twitter last reported 237.8 million mDAUs and a 16.6 per cent annual growth for its 2nd quarter.
  • Musk earlier said verified accounts will be “manually authenticated before check activates”.

Musk Predicts An Increase in Twitter Users By 2023-24

It has been nearly a month since Elon Musk became the CEO of Twitter after engaging in a year-long courtroom battle with the platform over acquisition issues since Musk had earlier entered into a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion, only to back out later.

This left the social media giant with no choice but to take the legal route and within lots of twists and turns, Musk finally went ahead with the deal and was anointed Twitter CEO on October 28, 2022.

No sooner had he taken over that he started calling shots in more ways than one by first firing nearly 11,000 employees for incompetence or insubordination, which includes 90% of Indians, as he felt that too many people had made the website and application slow in many countries, especially India and Indonesia.

Twitter crossing billion users

Musk has clarified that his newly acquired platform might exceed more than one billion monthly users in the next 12 to 18 months, after gauging the daily user growth that had skyrocketed to an all-time high after his takeover, despite the fact that many advisers had left the platform due to ongoing internal chaos.

It has been reported that the platform’s monetisable daily user growth (mDAU) has witnessed a speedy 20% growth after Musk became CEO and therefore, the company has added more than 15 million mDAUs and crossed the quarter billion mark.

Many people are not happy with Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and the list also includes celebrities like American author Stephen King, who expressed his dismay by calling Musk a ‘terrible fit’ to the platform, while praising him as a visionary in the automobile industry as King too owns a Tesla.

It remains to be seen whether Musk’s prediction comes true or not, which can be only ascertained after the time period because the CEO has a lot on his plate already to deal with.
