Motorola Teases Launch of New Moto Buds in India, Possibly Moto Buds

Highlights

  • Motorola teases new Moto Buds series in India.
  • Features include active noise cancellation and water-repellent design.
  • Moto Buds offer up to 42 hours of battery life, Moto Buds+ up to 38 hours.
  • Both models boast AI-enhanced CrystalTalk technology for clear calls.

Motorola has started building hype for the impending launch of new audio products in the Indian market.

Through a series of teasers on social media, the company has revealed it will soon be debuting earbuds or headphones under the tagline “Sound of Perfection.”

One of the teasers clearly shows the outline of what appears to be a truly wireless earbuds case in a greyish-green colourway.

It confirms the upcoming audio wearable will feature a water-repellent design and could come in multiple colour options.

While Motorola hasn’t explicitly named the product(s) yet, the signs point to the company introducing its recently unveiled Moto Buds and Moto Buds+ TWS earbuds to the Indian market.

Moto Buds Series – What to Expect

The standard Moto Buds feature 12.4mm dynamic drivers and promise up to 42 hours of total battery life with the charging case.

Highlights include active noise cancellation up to 48dB, triple microphones, and AI-enhanced CrystalTalk technology for improved voice call clarity.

The premium Moto Buds+, on the other hand, pack a hybrid dual-driver setup with 11mm woofers and 6mm tweeters.

They offer slightly less overall battery at 38 hours, but match the ANC performance and voice call enhancements of the base model.

Both the Moto Buds and Buds+ launched first in Europe earlier this year.

Bringing them to India would mark Motorola’s re-entry into the increasingly competitive truly wireless earbuds segment after models like the Verve Loop105 and Verve Buds 100 from 2020.

Exactly which models will make it to India remains to be seen.

But with these official teasers ramping up the hype, it likely won’t be long before Motorola unveils the “Sound of Perfection” for its India fans and the pricing/availability details.

Affordable audio accessories would make for a compelling companion to Motorola’s latest mid-range smartphones.

Apple iOS 18 Preview Reveals Major Updates to iPhone Apps and System Design

Apple iOS 18 Preview Reveals Major Updates to iPhone Apps and System Design

Highlights

  • Apple plans to enhance Notes, Mail, Photos, Fitness, and Calculator apps in iOS 18.
  • iOS 18 to introduce a more modular system design for improved customization.
  • Anticipated AI enhancements in iOS 18 will boost app functionalities and Siri interactions.
  • Official iOS 18 details expected at Apple’s WWDC event in June.

When iOS 18 arrives later this year, a number of Apple’s built-in iPhone apps could be getting a fresh look and new features.

According to insider Mark Gurman, the company is planning upgrades for its Notes, Mail, Photos, Fitness, and Calculator applications in the next major software update.

Redesigned Apple Apps

Apple plans to enhance Notes, Mail, Photos, Fitness, and Calculator apps in iOS 18
Apple plans to enhance Notes, Mail, Photos, Fitness, and Calculator apps in iOS 18

Unfortunately, specifics on what these “upgrades” will entail have not been divulged yet.

However, it’s likely we’ll see interface refreshes and added functionality across these apps based on past iOS redesigns and updates.

For instance, Notes may gain enhanced organization tools, multimedia embedding options, and collaboration features.

The Mail app is a prime candidate for an overhaul with a more modern layout. And Photos could be primed for an AI-powered search and editing upgrade.

This wouldn’t be the first time Apple gave its stock apps a coat of fresh paint.

The company routinely revamps some of its pre-installed applications every year with each major new iOS release.

Last year’s iOS 16 brought redesigns for apps like Home, Health, and others.

Changes Coming Beyond Individual Apps

iOS 18 to introduce a more modular system design for improved customization

These individual app tweaks may just be the tip of the iceberg for what Apple has planned in iOS 18.

Gurman reports the update will introduce some fairly substantial design changes across the operating system as a whole, though falling short of the more dramatic visual overhaul seen in iOS 17.

Specifically, he says the new iOS 18 design elements will be more “modular” to facilitate easier updates and customization in the future.

This could potentially allow iOS users more flexibility in placing app icons freely for the first time.

iOS 18 To Be the Biggest Update in Years

Revolutionary Features on the Horizon
Anticipated AI enhancements in iOS 18 will boost app functionalities and Siri interactions

iOS 18 is also expected to showcase Apple’s increased focus on artificial intelligence moving forward.

New AI-driven features are anticipated for core apps and tools like Siri to enhance capabilities like summarization, music playlist creation, and voice interactions.

We’ll have to wait until Apple’s WWDC developer conference in June to get the full official unveiling of iOS 18 and all its new bells and whistles.

But between redesigned apps, UI tweaks, and AI upgrades, it’s shaping up to be one of the company’s biggest iPhone software releases to date.

FAQs

What new features are expected in the iOS 18 update for iPhone apps?

The iOS 18 update is set to enhance several built-in apps like Notes with better organization tools, Mail with a modernized layout, and Photos with AI-powered search capabilities.

How will the system design change in iOS 18?

The upcoming iOS 18 is reported to have a more modular design, which will allow for easier updates and more flexibility in app icon placement, enhancing user customization.

What role will artificial intelligence play in the new iOS 18?

Artificial intelligence is expected to be a major component of iOS 18, with improvements aimed at enhancing Siri’s capabilities and adding new features like smarter playlist creation and enhanced summarization tools.

When can we expect the official release of iOS 18?

Apple is likely to unveil the full details of iOS 18 at the WWDC developer conference in June, where more information on new features and system upgrades will be provided.

Will iOS 18 be compatible with all iPhone models?

Compatibility details for iOS 18 have not yet been released, but typically, newer iOS versions support recent iPhone models.

More specific information will be available at the WWDC unveiling.

Vivo V40 Lite 5G Gears Up for Launch with Global Certifications

Highlights

  • Vivo V40 Lite 5G spotted in Bluetooth SIG and GCF listings, confirming Bluetooth 5.1 and extensive 5G band support.
  • Expected to be the successor to last year’s Vivo V30 Lite 5G.
  • Launch timeline hinted for the coming weeks based on certification timing.
  • Part of Vivo’s expanding mid-range V-series, potentially offering budget-friendly alternatives to the flagship models.

It appears Vivo is gearing up to release another addition to its V-series lineup, as the unannounced Vivo V40 Lite has recently paid visits to several key certification authorities.

These regulatory stops are usually among the final hurdles before a device can hit the market.

Vivo V40 Lite: SIG, GCF Listing

The Vivo V40 Lite, carrying the model number V2341, was discovered in the Bluetooth SIG database with support for Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity.

Additionally, the same model number popped up in the Global Certification Forum (GCF) database earlier this month.

The GCF listing revealed the V40 Lite will be 5G capable, with support for a wide range of 5G bands including n1, n2, n3, n5, n8, n20, n28, n38, n40, n41, n66, n77, and n78.

While the certification listings refer to the device simply as the “V40 Lite,” rumors suggest the full marketing name will be the Vivo V40 Lite 5G when it launches.

The device is expected to serve as a successor to last year’s Vivo V30 Lite 5G that debuted in Mexico.

Unfortunately, other key specs about the Vivo V40 Lite remain tightly under wraps for now.

However, devices typically appear in certification databases like Bluetooth SIG around a month prior to their official announcements.

So the V40 Lite could be mere weeks away from an unveiling if Vivo adheres to the typical schedule.

Other Devices in the V40 Series

Alongside the V40 Lite, Vivo has also already launched the V40 SE 5G in certain markets.

That model sports a large 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip, triple rear cameras topped by a 50MP main sensor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 44W charging.

The V40 Lite will likely cut some corners on specs and pricing compared to the V40 SE.

As Vivo expands its mid-range V-series with models like the V40 Lite and V40 SE, it will be interesting to see what upgrades may be in store for the true flagship V40 series expected later this year.

Smartphone makers are pulling out all the stops in 2024, so the V40 lineup could bring some serious heat.

Oppo Pad 3 Could Launch with Flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor

Highlights

  • Oppo Pad 3 said to feature high-performance Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
  • Might be equipped with 16GB RAM for superior multitasking and gaming.
  • Could sport a 3K resolution display with a 144Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision.
  • Includes innovative Panoramic Virtual Screen technology and smart touch keyboard.

Oppo is currently developing its next tablet, the Oppo Pad 3.

Recent rumours that have been gaining ground on tech platforms by a top tech blogger have left little doubt that this isn’t going to be a flagship offering.

Or at least, that is what we are given to understand from the leaked specifications.

So the main thing to look forward to in the Oppo Pad 3 would be the use of the muscle processor, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

This specific chip is said to be mated with a whopping 16GB of RAM, therefore this high-end processor with this much memory must be considered to also offer an excellent gaming experience.

Bigger tablets, such as the Oppo Pad 3, are becoming a favourite with mobile gamers because a larger screen is more comfortable and could mean a more competitive gaming setup in a game—especially with smaller-sized smartphones.

While Apple’s iPads have been a go-to choice for tablet gaming, the Oppo Pad 3 might just be a proper rival in this space.

For China users, that is.

OPPO Pad 3: Other Expected Specs

In addition to the powerful internal specs, the Oppo Pad 3 is expected to feature a 3K resolution display.

Rumoured features on the display of the Oppo Pad 3 include at least a high refresh rate of 144Hz and support for Dolby Vision.

Oppo might again launch its Panoramic Virtual Screen technology, which gives an impression of the display area being much more.

This feature was first made to be noticed in the Find N3 smartphone and can potentially be a nice addition to the user experience of a tablet.

In addition, Oppo Pad 3 will feature an optional “smart touch keyboard” that allows the tablet to transform into a 2-in-1 PC useful for on-the-go work, study, or entertainment.

While previous reports hinted at a delay in launching the Oppo Pad 3, new rumours claim it will come out in the second quarter of 2024, which would put it in a launch window between now and June.

However, don’t be too excited about the prospect of seeing the device beyond Chinese borders.

According to renowned Apple analyst Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the upcoming OLED iPad Pro might not feature the expected M3 chip as widely speculated.

Instead, the tablet could be equipped with the next-generation M4 chipset, positioning it as Apple’s first truly AI-powered device.

Gurman stated, “I believe Apple will position the tablet as its first truly AI-powered device — and that it will tout each new product from then on as an AI device.”

There is a chance if the report pans out, Apple can address the question of who the target audience for the next iPad Pro is, as the company aims to showcase the device’s AI capabilities as a key selling point.

Major Security Flaws in Keyboard Apps Expose Data of Nearly 1 Billion Users

Highlights

  • Eight of nine Chinese keyboard apps risk exposing keystrokes to eavesdroppers.
  • Cloud-based prediction features identified as primary vulnerability.
  • Citizen Lab reports partial resolution after vulnerability disclosure to manufacturers.
  • Users advised to update apps or switch keyboards to secure data.

Researchers have uncovered serious vulnerabilities in cloud-based keyboard apps used for typing Chinese characters with the pinyin writing system.

These flaws could potentially expose a billion users’ keystrokes to malicious actors.

Monitoring Keystrokes?

The Citizen Lab, based in Toronto, Canada, recently published a study on apps created by nine manufacturers: Baidu, Honor, Huawei, iFlytek, OPPO, Samsung, Tencent, Vivo, and Xiaomi.

Looking into devices sold in China, the researchers found that eight of the nine vendors transmitted users’ keystrokes, in essence potentially exposing over a billion users to eavesdroppers.

The real problem with most of these apps is the cloud-based prediction feature: “Typing Chinese,” these apps claim, they help users do quickly.

By including this feature, keylogging is sent to remote servers, so the interception of your keystrokes is really enabled.

Action Taken But Some Vulnerabilities Remain

Although the research team reported these security holes to the nine vendors in question, most responded and made the necessary changes, but a few keyboard applications still proved to be vulnerable.

In fact, in August last year, Citizen Lab was first to point out cryptographic vulnerabilities in Tencent’s Sogou Input Method that could enable enemies to decrypt users’ keystrokes without sending any additional network traffic.

So what should users do?

If a user uses QQ Pinyin or has a phone with a pre-installed keyboard, they should change the keyboard right now.

If not, users of Sogou, Baidu, or iFlytek keyboard apps should ensure that their keyboard apps and the operating system for the devices are updated.

As for users of the Baidu IME keyboard, a switch of the keyboard app or disabling the cloud-based input on the device is recommended.

You have to be very careful about your keystrokes, as there may be sensitive data that you do not want others to access.

Be on the alert and protect your privacy.

FAQs

What are the risks associated with using Pinyin keyboard apps?

The primary risk involves the potential exposure of keystrokes to unauthorized parties due to cloud-based prediction features that transmit typed data to remote servers.

Which companies’ keyboard apps were found to be vulnerable?

The study identified apps from major manufacturers including Baidu, Honor, Huawei, and Xiaomi among others, with Tencent’s Sogou Input Method specifically noted for cryptographic vulnerabilities.

What steps have manufacturers taken in response to these findings?

Most manufacturers have addressed the reported vulnerabilities by making necessary security improvements, although some apps still remain at risk.

What should users of vulnerable keyboard apps do to protect their data?

Users should immediately update their keyboard apps and device operating systems, or consider switching to more secure keyboard applications, especially if using apps like Baidu IME or Sogou.

How can users ensure their keystroke data remains protected?

Besides updating or switching apps, users should disable cloud-based input features and remain vigilant about the security settings of any installed apps that handle sensitive input.
