Realme C63 5G throws in an interesting back panel finish that defines the entire look of the phone.

The device is available in two colours, Starry Gold and Forest Green.

For this review, we had the Starry Gold variant and we loved the little shiny reflective colour tone with a smooth texture.

The Starry Gold design is coated with the Magnetron line.

The magnetron-sputtered high-reflection film provides texture brightness and a metallic texture.

This reflects to give a unique light effect with light.

You also don’t need to fret about fingerprints or smudges as the back panel is built to be resistant to both.

The square camera module with curved corners in the top centre of the back is neat.

There is a stainless steel frame around the camera module giving it a premium look.

The metal frame of the phone supports the structure well and looks good at the same time.

The phone is quite lightweight and the boxy frame makes it easy to hold.

It can be easily handled in one hand.

The volume rockers and the power button can be found on the standard right-hand side.

The SIM tray and IR blaster are on the top, while a single set of speakers with a charging port and a 3.5mm headphone jack is located at the bottom.

The display is decent but doesn’t do much for the overall look of the phone.

The build quality of Realme C63 is solid too.

It comes with an IP64 water and dust resistance.

This promises to effectively block dust and protect against low-pressure liquid splashes from any direction.

Overall, the software on the Realme C63 5G is polished and packed with features, making it a strong contender in its segment.

Bloatware remains an issue with Realme.

We understand why budget brands such as Realme need these pre-installed apps but the trust is, they are annoying.

Yes, you can uninstall most of them and customise your home screen but one of the major issues we faced when we switched on the device for the first time and connected it to a network was how all the pre-installed apps started updating together.

And then it can be quite tedious to clear everything out.

So, be prepared to spend a good chunk of your initial setup time on this task.

Realme has committed to providing three years of security updates and two years of software updates, ensuring that the device remains secure and up-to-date with the latest features.

This level of support adds value to the device, making it a reliable choice for users who want a smartphone that will stay current over time.

The camera performance of the Realme C63 is decent.

The 32-megapixel main camera with an aperture of f/1.85 and a 5P lens has some advantages.

It produces sharp and clear images.

Colour saturation is close to natural.

The results are better in proper light conditions as the camera system is designed to intake natural light.

You can easily notice AI doing its work though with changing tones or textures in images to make them more refined.

The main comes with a field of view of 76°, which enables you to cover more view into the frame.

To facilitate your photography requirements and unlock the real potential of the lens, the main camera comes with various modes such as Photo, Video, Night, Street, Pro, Pano, Portrait, Time-lapse, Slo-Mo, Texts scanner, Tilt-shift, and  Movie-dual video.

We are a bit disappointed with the front camera configuration.

The 8MP Selfie Camera with AI beauty feature does a sub-par job.

Although it is a budget segment, there are many competing smartphone models in the market with better front camera specifications and performance.

For Videos, the camera performance is decent.

Apart from the default 720P at 30fps, you also have the flexibility to choose 1080P at 30fps for video recordings.

It provides a well-balanced video capture tailored to specific user requirements.

Apple Intelligence: AI, Features, Research, Supported Devices & Cost Claims by Analysts

0

Highlight

  • Analysts believe Apple might charge $10-20 per month for advanced Apple Intelligence features.
  • It potentially will require an Apple One subscription for full access.
  • No official indication that Apple plans to charge for Apple Intelligence.

Nothing in this world is free. And Apple fans are certainly not going to be pleased hearing about this new cost speculation that they might have to bear.

Analysts believe that Apple might eventually charge for some of its more advanced Apple Intelligence features, potentially costing users $10-20 per month.

One scenario they suggest is that Apple could require an Apple One subscription to access the full range of AI capabilities.

This approach would mirror the strategy used by companies like OpenAI and Microsoft, where a limited number of AI features are free, but a subscription is needed to unlock the full set.

Two analysts raised the monetization prospect when speaking to CNBC.

Analysts Believe Apple Intelligence Might Cost Up to $20/month
Analysts Believe Apple Intelligence Might Cost Up to $20/month.

Neil Shah, partner at Counterpoint Research, said investment in AI is expensive and Apple will want to pass that cost onto its users […] Shah said Apple could charge between $10 and $20 for Apple Intelligence, potentially as part of Apple One, for more premium AI features […].

“Apple is one of the few connected devices companies that has successfully monetized the value-added services it offers,” Ben Wood, chief of research at CCS Insight, told CNBC this week.

“As a result, it has set a precedent with its users that they have to pay for more premium services. On this basis, it can’t be ruled out that Apple may choose to charge for more advanced features within its Apple Intelligence offering.”

However, there’s no indication that Apple plans to charge for any of the Apple Intelligence features being rolled out this year or for the new Siri features expected early next year.

If that were the case, Apple would have likely announced it by now.

While the idea of a paid Apple Intelligence tier in the future can’t be completely dismissed, especially given the company’s focus on growing its service revenue, Apple will need to strike a balance.

The challenge will be determining which AI features should be included to drive hardware sales and which could be offered as optional, subscription-based services.

Craig Federighi summed up Apple Intelligence during the WWDC keynote:

Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that puts powerful generative models right at the core of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

There are five key pillars of Apple Intelligence that, in combination, distinguish it from other AI (artificial intelligence) tools that already exist.

  • Powerful: Capable of offering truly useful help
  • Intuitive: Easy to use and accessible
  • Integrated: Baked into the core of your devices
  • Personal: Understands your personal context
  • Private: Built from the ground up for privacy

Apple claims that no one has an AI offering that can check all these boxes—a claim that certainly seems true.

The goal of Apple Intelligence?

Tim Cook put it well in the keynote: “to make your most personal products even more useful and delightful.”

Apple Intelligence is Apple’s unique branding for its suite of AI features.

In this weekends Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman has touched upon some of the recent reports about paid Apple Intelligence features.

He does believe that the company will eventually start charging for these features, it won’t be as soon as anticipated by people .

Gurman writes that he expects the company to develop more advanced features on top of the existing Apple Intelligence feature set and charge for those features, but he believes that it’ll take the company at least three years to develop something worth charging for, and that “may be the best-case scenario.”

  • Fresh look: Activate Siri, and rather than popping up in one place, the assistant will instead animate all around the borders of your device with a beautiful glowing light.
  • Quick typed requests: With a quick double tap at the bottom of your iPhone or iPad’s screen, a keyboard will pop up so you can type a request to Siri rather than speaking it.
  • Deep Apple product knowledge: Now you can ask Siri questions about any of your Apple devices and OS features and it can provide the info you need.

• ChatGPT integration

Apple has officially partnered with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT deeply into the iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia systems.

Here’s how Apple details the ChatGPT feature:

With ChatGPT from OpenAI integrated into Siri and Writing Tools, you get even more expertise when it might be helpful for you — no need to jump between tools.

Siri can tap into ChatGPT for certain requests, including questions about photos or documents.

And with Compose in Writing Tools, you can create and illustrate original content from scratch.

ChatGPT will not require an OpenAI account, nor will any of the information it processes be saved or shared with others.

Apple is maintaining its privacy standards with this integration rather than depending on OpenAI to do so.

X Now Allows Users to Sort Replies on Posts
X Now Allows Users to Sort Replies on Posts

The latest X feature, which rolled out on iOS and the Web yesterday, too is a welcome change.

After introducing the option for users to buy their way to the top of reply sections through an X Premium subscription, the social media platform has now added a new menu that lets users sort replies using more traditional methods.

If you’ve been annoyed by blue checkmark users cluttering replies with irrelevant content just to get more views and engagement, this update is good news!

X informed the app users about the new feature in a post.


The new menu allows you to sort replies by most relevant, most recent, and most liked. While “most relevant” may still favour those who pay for X/Twitter, “most recent” and “most liked” are pretty straightforward.

Unfortunately, the reply sorting setting doesn’t save, so you’ll need to reselect it each time you view a new tweet.

X informed the app users about the new feature in a post.
X informed the app users about the new feature in a post.

Despite this, it’s a positive step toward making the replies section more user-friendly.

To recap, after Elon Musk took over Twitter in 2022, he introduced Twitter Blue (now called X Premium) for $8/month, which gave users a blue checkmark and boosted their replies to the top.

In 2023, X Premium+ was launched for $16/month, offering an even bigger boost, leading to a pay-to-win system where many users promoted themselves in popular tweet replies.

Answer. X allows users to sort replies by most relevant, most recent, and most liked.

This feature helps users manage the visibility of replies and find the most pertinent responses.

Q3. What is the purpose of the new reply sorting menu on X?

Answer. The new reply sorting menu aims to improve user experience by reducing clutter from X Premium users and making the replies section more user-friendly.

However, the sorting setting does not save and needs to be reselected for each new tweet.

Q4. What are some of the key features of X Basic?

Answer. X Basic is the entry-level paid tier that includes features like editing posts, undoing posts, writing longer posts, uploading longer videos, downloading videos, and creating bookmark folders. It also offers reader mode for easier reading of long threads.

OnePlus Nord 4 Scores Low On Reparability, Gets 4 on 10 in PBKReviews

0

Highlight

  • The OnePlus Nord 4 features a durable aluminium unibody design.
  • A teardown by PBKReviews shows the metal back is difficult to remove, earning a low repairability score.
  • It received an overall repairability score of 4 out of 10.

The recently launched OnePlus Nord 4 celebrated the metal design with an aluminium unibody.

Everyone cheered for OnePlus Nord 4 being the first 5G phone to do so. This design choice gives the phone a more durable and rugged feel, something we appreciate.

But it turns out every positive comes with its own set of negatives for us to deal with.

Because OnePlus Nord 4’s metal design is also what makes repairing the device extra challenging.

A teardown by PBKReviews shows just how tough it is to get inside the Nord 4.

The video highlights that the metal back, which contributes to the phone’s sturdiness, is extremely difficult to remove, complicating access to the internal components.

The screen is especially tricky to replace, earning a low score of 0.5/2, similar to the score for the phone’s internal layout.

Availability of parts, battery replacement ease, and replacing other small components each scored a 1/2, leading to an overall repairability score of 4 out of 10.

Even removing the top glass cover proved challenging, despite initial success with a plastic tool.

The metal back, however, required the use of metal tools, increasing the risk of scratches or dents on the sleek aluminium surface.

While prying off the metal is the hardest part of any repair, things do get easier after that.

However, Nord 4’s repairability score remains at 4 out of 10, where 10 represents the easiest to repair.

On the bright side, the aluminium build of the Nord 4 appears more durable than the typical glass-backed smartphones. Its Oasis Green shell resisted bending even with its slim design.

Plus, the phone’s IP65 rating means it can handle minor dust and water exposure.

Lastly, the phone’s 5,500mAh battery is housed in an adhesive pouch, making it somewhat easier to remove and replace compared to other components.

FAQs

Q1. What are smart home devices?

Answer. Smart home devices are electronic gadgets that connect to your home network and can be controlled remotely via a smartphone, tablet, or voice commands.

They include items like smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and smart speakers, all designed to make your home more convenient, secure, and energy-efficient.

Q2. How do smart home devices work?

Answer. Smart home devices typically connect to your home Wi-Fi network and can be controlled through a dedicated app or a smart home hub.

They use various communication protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Z-Wave to interact with each other and with your smartphone or voice assistant, allowing you to manage them remotely.

Q3. Are smart home devices secure?

While smart home devices offer many conveniences, security can be a concern.

It’s important to use strong, unique passwords for your devices and home network, keep your devices’ firmware updated, and consider using devices from reputable brands that prioritize security.

Additionally, enabling two-factor authentication can add an extra layer of protection.

Q4. Can smart home devices save energy?

Answer. Yes, smart home devices can help save energy. For example, smart thermostats can learn your schedule and adjust the temperature accordingly, reducing energy consumption.

Smart lights can be programmed to turn off when not in use, and smart plugs can cut power to devices that are not needed, all contributing to lower energy bills.

Q5. Do I need a smart home hub?

Answer. A smart home hub is not always necessary, but it can be useful if you have multiple smart devices from different brands.

A hub can centralize control, allowing you to manage all your devices from a single app.

Some popular hubs include Amazon Echo, Google Nest Hub, and Samsung SmartThings Hub.

However, many smart devices can also work independently through their apps.
