Reddit post shared a hands-on video of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Hands-On Video Leak

The hands-on video was shared on Reddit in a post titled “Galaxy S24 Ultra definitely.” The device shown in the clip shows the rumoured rounded corner design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Famous tipster Ice Universe confirmed on X that the device in the video is indeed the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Another reliable Samsung leaker, @chunvn8888, also supported the claim, stating the prototype is “Can confirm this is the real Galaxy S25 Ultra. Big oopsie for OP.”

The phone in the video features a glossy metallic finish with noticeably rounded corners.

This appears to be quite different from the sharp and pointy design of the current Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The change will complement the new One UI 7, which features more rounded design elements.

At the back, Samsung’s signature camera setup is visible. However, the rumoured camera rings around the lenses are missing. These camera rings were seen in previous leaks featuring dummy units of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. At that time, Ice Universe mentioned that the final design of the phone could differ significantly from those dummy units.

While the video offers a glimpse of the device, it doesn’t reveal much about the phone’s user interface or features.

Reports suggest that it’s likely another prototype and not the final version set to launch in January.

Phrases like “Multi-Core Comparison” and “proper bump up in performance” can be seen on the screen along with the number 9391, which aligns with earlier Geekbench listings for the device.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – Colour Options

According to earlier leaks by Ross Young, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will come in three special finishes.


The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra colours include –

  • Titanium Blue/Black
  • Titanium Jade Green
  • Titanium Pink/Silver

Apart from these, Technizo Concept also released some renders that showcased a striking orange colour.

In any case, we are expected to have more clarity as the launch timeline approaches.

iPhone 17 Air Will Be Thinner Than We Thought, Prototypes Between 5 and 6mm Thick: Report

0

Highlights

  • Reports reveal iPhone 17 Air prototypes are between 5 and 6mm thick.
  • To achieve this thinnest design, the iPhone 17 Air will have only one earpiece speaker, a single rear camera and Apple’s in-house 5G modem.
  • The iPhone 17 Air is in early production trials at Foxconn.

It was revealed long ago that Apple is working on some bold new designs with the iPhone 17 Air and is aiming to create the thinnest iPhone we have seen yet. Now, the latest report suggests the bold design choices are actually bolder than we earlier thought.

According to a report from The Information, prototypes for the iPhone 17 Air are between 5 and 6 millimetres thick, a massive reduction compared to the 7.8mm thickness of the iPhone 16.

However, this ultra-thin design is creating significant challenges for Apple’s engineers.

The report highlights some compromises Apple is making to achieve this level of thinness. It notes that Apple engineers are “finding it hard to fit the battery and thermal materials into the device.”

To save space, the iPhone 17 Air will feature only one earpiece speaker. The report explains, “Apple is compromising on other aspects of the slim iPhone’s design to ensure its thinness. For instance, the thin iPhone will only have a single speaker in its earpiece because there is no room for a second speaker at the bottom, which is standard in other models, one person said.”

The iPhone 17 Air will have just one rear camera housed in a “large, centred camera bump.”

If Apple succeeds, the iPhone 17 Air would dethrone the iPhone 6 as the company’s thinnest phone, which measured 6.9mm. It would also rival Apple’s thinnest devices overall, such as the 11-inch iPad Pro (5.4mm) and the 13-inch iPad Pro (5.1mm).

iPhone 17 Air: The thinnest iPhone yet.

The iPhone 17 Air will be “among the first iPhones” to feature Apple’s in-house 5G modem.

However, the report highlights some limitations, stating: “However, Apple’s in-house modem doesn’t perform as well as Qualcomm’s. Its peak speeds are lower and its ability to stay connected to cellular networks is slightly less reliable, the person said. And Apple’s in-house modem lacks support for millimetre wave, a technology introduced in the iPhone 12 that allows for higher cellular speeds in certain areas.”

The ultra-thin design also means engineers haven’t yet figured out how to include a physical SIM card tray.

While Apple has phased out SIM trays in many regions although China still requires them.

The report quotes the Head of Chinese technology, telecom and software research at Jefferies, Edison Lee: “The Chinese telcos don’t support eSIM for mobile phones owing to the risk that this system would not allow the telcos to be able to verify the personal identity of each user. China is enforcing a real-name registration system for all mobile users, and thus the telcos don’t generally support eSIM except for Apple Watch and iPad.”

The iPhone 17 Air is currently in early production trials at Foxconn and recently had its advanced from proto-1 to proto-2 status.

FAQs

Q1. How thin will the iPhone 17 Air be compared to previous models?

Answer. Prototypes for the iPhone 17 Air are between 5 and 6mm thick, which is a massive reduction compared to the 7.8mm thickness of the iPhone 16.

Q2. What compromises is Apple making to achieve the thin design of the iPhone 17 Air?

Answer. To save space, the iPhone 17 Air will feature only one earpiece speaker and a single rear camera housed in a large, centred camera bump.

Q3. What challenges are Apple engineers facing with the iPhone 17 Air’s design?

Answer. Apple engineers are finding it hard to fit the battery and thermal materials into the device due to the ultra-thin design.

It appears Apple has some really interesting things planned for its upcoming iPhone 17 lineup.

First, there were the reports of the thinnest iPhones and now more recently we are getting updates on the other model iPhone 17 Pro.

Here’s a quick recap of the most recent report on iPhone 17 that has surfaced online.

According to a recent report in The Information, Apple is gearing up for some major design updates with the iPhone 17 series set to launch in 2025.

While much attention has been on the rumoured iPhone 17 Air, new reports suggest significant changes across the entire lineup particularly for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models.

Wayne Ma and Qianer Liu revealed in The Information report: “Apple’s other iPhone models will also undergo significant design changes next year. For instance, they’ll all switch to aluminium frames from stainless steel and titanium, one of the people said. The back of the Pro and Pro Max models will feature a new part-aluminum, part-glass design. The top of the back will comprise a larger rectangular camera bump made of aluminium rather than traditional 3D glass. The bottom half will remain glass to accommodate wireless charging, two people said.”

So, the major updates expected in the iPhone 17 Lineup are –

  • Aluminum Frames for All Models: The entire iPhone 17 lineup will switch to aluminium frames, although Apple hasn’t explained the reasoning behind this move.
  • New Camera Design for Pro Models: The Pro and Pro Max will feature larger, rectangular camera bumps made of aluminium, signalling a focus on enhanced camera features.
  • Impact on Wireless Charging: Shifting away from an all-glass back could affect wireless charging capabilities.

This marks a notable departure from Apple’s recent push towards titanium frames in its Pro models, which had been marketed as a premium feature.

9to5Mac in its latest report raised questions about Apple’s strategy of moving to aluminium.

Is Apple planning a complete shift in materials to streamline production and manage costs? There could also be a possibility that Apple might be reserving titanium for future high-end models.

In any case, the Pro models’ larger aluminium camera bumps hint at a stronger focus on photography and videography.

FAQS

Q1. What material will the iPhone 17 lineup use for its frames?

Answer. The entire iPhone 17 lineup will switch to aluminium frames, moving away from stainless steel and titanium.

Q2. What design change is expected for the iPhone 17 Pro models?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will feature larger, rectangular aluminium camera bumps, focusing on enhanced camera features.

Q3. How might the new design affect wireless charging for the iPhone 17 Pro models?

Answer. The part-aluminum, part-glass design could impact wireless charging with the bottom half remaining glass to accommodate this feature.

Meta’s Threads is doing everything it can to ensure users feel more in control of their experience on the app.

After the recent updates and feature testing reports, we are now getting an update on another feature that will make the app more customisable. Here’s a recent update.

It appears Threads is finally letting users choose which feed they want to see first when opening the app.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the feature in a post on the App revealing that users can select from the For You, Following, or any custom feeds they’ve created. According to Zuckerberg, Threads is currently “testing” the feature and aims to make different feeds “more visible” in the app.

How to Set Your Threads Default Feed?

As confirmed by Zuckerberg, the feature is currently in testing mode, which means it is not available to a larger group. However, if you’re part of the test group, here’s how you can simply set your preferred default feed –

  • Open the Threads app.
  • Tap and hold any feed name at the top.
  • Select “Edit feeds.”
  • Drag your favourite feed to the top spot.
  • The feed you place first will automatically appear when you open the app.

This change comes after over a year of waiting for users to gain more control over their Threads experience.

The move addresses common frustrations, especially among those who’ve asked for the Following feed to be a default option.

Threads has been ramping up improvements in response to growing competition from Bluesky, which recently surpassed 20 million users.

Some of the latest updates include a revamped “For You” feed that prioritizes posts from accounts you follow instead of suggested content, a more useful search feature and support for landscape videos.

Last week, the platform rolled out changes to the ‘For You’ algorithm, surfacing more content from accounts you follow.

While many tech experts welcomed the change, there was a section of users who expressed frustration while demanding more customisation options such as setting the Following feed as default.

Meta seems to be focused on keeping its Threads audience engaged by listening to feedback and offering more personalisation as more and more users increasingly explore alternatives like Bluesky.

The new features mentioned here are currently rolling out to select users, a Meta spokesperson informed TechCrunch.

FAQs

Q1. What new feature is Meta’s Threads testing for user customisation?

Answer. Meta’s Threads is testing a feature allowing users to choose their default feed (For You, Following, or custom) when opening the app.

Q2. How can users set their preferred default feed in Threads?

Answer. To set your preferred default feed, open the Threads app, tap and hold any feed name at the top, select “Edit feeds,” and drag your favourite feed to the top spot.

Q3. What recent updates have been made to the For You feed in Threads?

Answer. The For You feed now prioritises posts from accounts you follow instead of suggested content, with additional updates such as a more useful search feature and support for landscape videos.

  • The live location feature is designed with privacy in mind.

Instagram is rolling out a live location-sharing feature making it easier for friends and family to coordinate meetups directly through the app.

Similar to Apple’s Find My Friends, this new feature allows users to share their real-time location for a set period with added privacy measures.

Apart from this, Meta has announced a few other cool features to make the experience on the app a lot more fun.

Here’s a quick round-up of all newly introduced features.

Instagram Allows Live Location Sharing

image
Instagram now allows users to share their live location in DMs for up to 1 hour. (Image credit – Instagram)

As announced by Meta in a detailed blog post, live location sharing will work through Instagram DMs.

“Spend more time together, and less time coordinating,” Meta wrote in this blog post. The feature is designed for private sharing, meaning users can only send their location individually or in group chats.

Here’s how it works:

  • Location sharing is turned off by default.
  • Users can share their real-time location for one hour at a time, after which sharing stops automatically.
  • A visual indicator will show when a location is being shared.

Unlike Apple’s Find My, Instagram doesn’t allow continuous location sharing. Meta had previously tested a Snap Map-like feature to display friends’ locations on a map, but it hasn’t been launched yet.

New DM Features Now Available on Instagram

Along with location sharing, Instagram is introducing two fun updates for DMs: new sticker packs and customisable nicknames.

Instagram now offers 17 new sticker packs with over 300 stickers to make chats more expressive. Users can favourite stickers for quick reuse, including those shared by friends or created using image cutouts.

Nicknames

Instagram now allows users to customise names in DMs by putting nicknames to friends. (Image credit – Instagram)

To personalise group chats, users can now assign nicknames to themselves or friends. These nicknames appear only in private chats and don’t affect public profiles.

Here’s how users can set nicknames:

  • Open the chat and tap its name at the top.
  • Select “Nicknames.”
  • Choose the contact and assign a nickname.

By default, only people you follow can change nicknames but this can be adjusted in settings.

With these updates, Instagram aims to make conversations more personal and planning get-togethers easier while keeping user privacy on priority.

Realme GT 7 Pro – Unboxing

Realme GT 7 Pro – Design and Build Quality

Realme GT 7 Pro – Design and Build Quality

Realme GT 7 Pro comes in a striking design form that stands out for its matte metallic finish and glass-like back.

We had the Galaxy Grey colour variant for this review and it has a classic vibe. It looks trendy and stylish.

The camera module is slightly different from our regular camera bumps. The metallic border of the camera module matches the back perfectly.

We also like how the aluminium frame of the phone subtly colour-coordinates. The camera module is also very tastefully designed.

It doesn’t stick out too much and yet makes the back of the phone attractive.

The phone isn’t too heavy even with 222.8g weight, which is a pleasant surprise considering how powerful some of the hardware including the battery is.

It fits perfectly in the palm and we had no issues with one-hand operation.

The flat boxy form of the phone makes it easier to hold.

The phone is also designed to last. It comes with an IP69 rating, which protects the phone against high temperature and high-pressure water.

Overall, we love the subtle design elements of the Realme GT 7 Pro.

There is nothing too fancy and yet it keeps the flagship aesthetic intact. It looks like a flagship device from all aspects.

Realme GT 7 Pro – Display

Realme GT 7 Pro – Display

First of all, the display of Realme GT 7 Pro adds to the overall look of the phone. The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED 1440p 120Hz refresh rate display of Realme GT 7 Pro is strikingly clear and makes everything on screen sharp.

It is also the first Eco² OLED Plus display co-developed with Samsung.

This flat but slightly curved around-the-edge display is one of the brightest and sharpest displays available in the flagship space.

On paper, Realme claims it offers a typical brightness of 1000 nits and peak of 6500 nits.

We tested the High Brightness Mode with a flashlight directly on the screen it reaches up to 2200 nits when needed.

Thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate along with LTPO tech, swiping and scrolling on Realme GT 7 Pro is super smooth.

The display also provides support for HDR 10+ content and Dolby Vision videos.

Realme GT 7 Pro – Performance

Realme GT 7 Pro – Performance

The Realme GT 7 Pro is the first Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship smartphone in India.

This advanced processor enables flagship smartphone experiences with a new 2+6 Oryon CPU and leading Hexagon NPU.

It is built on TSMC 3nm Process, 4.32GHz Prime-core x2 and 3.52GHz Performance-core x.

We tested the phone on multiple benchmarking platforms and it performed significantly better than many other flagship devices out there.

On Antutu Benchmark, it scored close to 3 million while scoring 45% single-core improvement and 45% multi-core improvement on GeekBench 6.

It also scores 44% power saving on the CPU and 40% power saving on the GPU compared with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

There shouldn’t be any doubt that the powerful Realme GT 7 Pro is designed keeping in mind the gamers out there.

The phone’s flagship hardware along with the advanced AI capabilities make it a perfect machine for heavy gamers.

It has AI Gaming Super Resolution & Frame, which helps in achieving game visuals with AI perception that promises a next-level gaming experience with 1.5K resolution and 120fps frame.

The phone also comes with 11480mm² Iceberg VC, which is segment’s largest dual VC system.

This cooling system helps keep things under control during long gaming sessions.

However, we performed some stress tests on the device and we did notice heavy thermal throttling.

Realme GT 7 Pro – Camera

Realme GT 7 Pro – Camera

Realme GT 7 Pro packs a triple camera setup that includes a 50MP main lens, a 50MP 3X telephoto lens and an 8MP ultra-wide lens.

The camera performance is at par with what anyone would expect from a phone of this calibre.

In broad daylight with optimum lighting, the phone captures beautiful and vibrant images.

The details are clear with no visible noise in almost all shots we clicked using the GT 7 Pro and processing provides good enhancements without overdoing it like we have seen in some flagships earlier.

As for night photography, the camera processing makes sure enough light reaches the lens. Even in limited lighting, the phone managed to click decently lit images with clarity and almost no noise.

The camera system also has a good dynamic range and colours appear natural with no visible oversaturation.

Here are some camera samples we clicked in different lighting conditions.

The camera settings also have a dedicated underwater shooting mode that allows the phone to capture moments underwater perfectly.

The mode can also activate automatically when the phone is submerged in water.

Realme GT 7 Pro – Battery and Charging

Realme GT 7 Pro has smashed it in the battery department packing a massive 6500mAh battery with this flagship device.

It is one of the largest batteries one can get on any smartphone in the market.

As we extensively used the phone for hours, battery support was undeniable. We can expect the battery to provide support for around 20 hours on a single charge easily. 

The phone also supports 120W ultra charge support.

This can actually shoot up the battery to almost 90 per cent charge from close to zero within 30 to 35 minutes of charging.

Some battery stats –

  • 13mins charge to 50%,
  • 37mins charge to 100%
  • Charing 1min – Standby 20h, Call 1h
  • Charging 5mins – Standby 124h, Call 7h

However, we wish there was wireless charging support as that would make it a perfect flagship phone in the battery department.

Verdict – Should You Buy Realme GT 7 Pro?

Google Maps Error and Unfinished Bridge With No Barricades or Signs Lead to Tragic Accident In UP’s Bareilly, 3 Dead

0

Highlights

  • Three men died after their car plunged into the Ramganga River.
  • The car was following an incorrect route shown by Google Maps.
  • The bridge was damaged by floods in 2022 and had no barricades or warning signs.

Three men travelling to a wedding met with a tragic end when their hired taxi plunged into the Ramganga River from an unfinished bridge in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday.

The victims were reportedly relying on Google Maps to navigate the route from Gurugram to Bareilly.

However, the GPS led them onto an incomplete bridge over the Ramganga River, which had partially collapsed in 2022 due to a flood.

The mangled vehicle and the bodies of the three men were discovered by local authorities around 9:30 a.m. on Sunday.

The police identified two of the victims as Amit and Vivek from Imadpur in Farrukhabad, while the identity of the third remains unknown.

The incident occurred near Dataganj in Badaun district.

“At 9:30 am today, a damaged car was found on the river Ramganga. Police were informed and arrived at the spot. When the police arrived, they saw a Wagon R, which was possibly hired as a taxi, on the river. The car went to the incomplete bridge and fell into a river from there,” police said.

“The bodies were found and taken for post-mortem. The identities of two people, Amit and Vivek, were confirmed. More details on the identity of the third one are being worked on,” police added.

Relatives of the victims and social media users have criticised local officials for the lack of barricades or warning signs on the unfinished bridge. Many believe the tragedy could have been avoided with proper precautions.

While some reports point fingers at Google Maps for misguiding the travellers, users online clarified that the alleged route does not appear on the app unless viewed in satellite mode.

Meanwhile, some conflicting reports also emerged online with some suggesting the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj rather than Gurugram.

Hindustan Times quoted a Circle Area Officer who confirmed that the bridge had been damaged earlier this year by flooding. Dense fog was also cited in some reports as a possible factor contributing to the accident.

This tragic incident highlights the pressing need for updated GPS data, improved infrastructure and proper warning systems to prevent such avoidable accidents.

FAQs

Q: What caused the tragic accident involving the three men in UP due to Google Maps?

Answer. The three men were misled by Google Maps onto an unfinished bridge over the Ramganga River, leading to their taxi plunging into the river. The bridge collapsed in 2022 due to floods and lacked barricades or warning signs.

Q2. Who is at fault for the accident in UP caused by Google Maps error?
