For its starting price of Rs 19,999, the Realme Pad 2 is actually a very good deal. It certainly has a spec sheet that imbibes Realme’s philosophy of providing the best bang for the buck.

Chief amongst them is a 11.5-inch 2K panel that refreshes at 120Hz, a feature that no other tablet is offering in the segment.

There’s also the design aspect of the tablet which makes it quite ergonomical to use although having a case provided alongside would help a lot.
Performance did not feel lacking although a better chipset could have been used in my opinion.

The software is modified effectively for tablet usage, but Realme still insists on using a lot of its own pre-installed apps.

As for the battery life, it is in the acceptable range, and I’m really impressed with the speaker setup on offer.

Overall, the Realme Pad 2 gets my thumbs up as an effective media consumption tool under Rs 20,000.

  • Plus Premium members get early access to Flipkart events like Big Billion Days and Big Shopping Days.

Flipkart, the prominent e-commerce platform in India, recently teased its advanced loyalty programme, dubbed as Flipkart Plus Premium.

Although the company had previously hinted at the inception of this service, it had refrained from disclosing specific details.

Existing as an enhanced tier of the original Flipkart Plus loyalty programme, Plus Premium comes with superior benefits, despite being complimentary like its counterpart.

In its latest announcement, Flipkart has finally shed light on the specifics of the Plus Premium tier.

Apart from all the other benefits, a salient feature in this new subscription tier from Flipkart is that Premium Plus members will be eligible to accumulate double the SuperCoins on each purchase.

For the uninitiated, SuperCoins lets users avail extra offers, services, discounts and more. Let’s find out more about this

As per Flipkart, under this revamped programme, customers must successfully complete 8 transactions on the website to be eligible for Flipkart Plus Premium.

Once part of this new tier, users can gain 8 SuperCoins after having spent at least Rs 100.

However, there is a cap of 100 SuperCoins that can be earned from a single transaction. You can head over to the SuperCoin Zone on Flipkart’s website or app, to check out how many SuperCoins you have.

Flipkart Plus Premium’s intent is to offer enhanced benefits to loyal members who frequently shop on the platform.

As such, existing Flipkart Plus members who meet the necessary criteria will automatically ascend to the Plus Premium tier.

Newcomers to Plus Premium are welcomed with a substantial boon of 300 SuperCoins. In line with key benefits on offer, Plus Premium members will also enjoy the advantage of early access to select products during major sales events such as the Big Billion Days and Big Shopping Days.

Furthermore, Flipkart has promised to award a flat 400 SuperCoins for more than 10,000 transactions, a privilege exclusive to Plus Premium members. The awarded SuperCoins are credited to a member’s account once the return period for all items in their order has elapsed.

It would appear that Flipkart expects users to leverage this opportunity to benefit from exclusive membership perks as the annual Big Billion Days Sale approaches.

Early access to deals, and an increased rate of SuperCoin accumulation will be key for users to frequent the e-commerce website during the sale period.

Importantly, no additional fee is levied for the loyalty programme, with eligibility determined based on the frequency of transactions made throughout the year.

In an increasingly competitive e-commerce environment, initiatives like Flipkart Plus Premium can set a brand apart.

By offering added value without any additional cost, Flipkart is likely to foster brand loyalty, enhance customer retention, and establish itself as a preferred shopping destination.

The company is anticipated to continue investing in services and features that focus on enhancing the customer experience, making shopping more personalised, convenient, and enjoyable.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: A Significant Leap Over the Z Flip 4? Key Upgrades and Comparison

0

Highlights

  • The Z Flip 5 has a larger 3.4-inch external display in Z Flip 5 compared to 1.9-inch in Z Flip 4
  • The device has a completely flat folding capability which addresses the Z Flip 4’s hinge gap issue
  • Z Flip 5 offers the better Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform and increases the base storage to 256GB
  • Z Flip 5 maintains the same 3,700mAh battery capacity and camera setup as its predecessor

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 were announced at the company’s launch event in South Korea last week. Both devices feature minor improvements over the last generation of products.

However, in the case of the Z Flip 5, the upgrades are significantly more important and evident. The device starts at a price tag of Rs 99,999 in the Indian market and competes heavily with the Moto Razr 40 Ultra.

Whether you should choose one over the other is matter for another day, but in this article lets dive into the various enhancements that the Z Flip 5 offers over last year’s Z Flip 4.

Pricing

Samsung Galaxy Fold5 and Z Flip5
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5

As of right now, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is priced on the company’s website for Rs 89,999 for the 128GB storage and 8GB RAM variant.

The Z Flip 5, on the other hand, is at Rs 99,999 although it has 256GB of storage. The device also introduces a new Mint colour variant which sits alongside three other colour combinations.

Design

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

Last year’s Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 stands out with its attractive compact design. The device boasts a horizontal folding mechanism, accentuated with sleek stainless-steel edges, which add to the device’s premium aesthetic.

However, an issue that has plagued the device, and both its predecessors, is that the hinge doesn’t allow it to close completely flat, leaving a small opening in the centre.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 removes this problem by using a hinge design that allows for a completely flat fold, adding to the device’s appeal.

Apart from that the Z Flip 5’s durability is reportedly enhanced by 25 percent although no improvements have been made to the IPX8 water-resistance rating from the Z Flip 4.

You do see, however, an upgraded Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the cover display of the Z Flip 5.

Display

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Display

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 1.9-inch AMOLED display on the rear with a 512 x 260 resolution and a pixel density of 302ppi.

This utility of the screen is primarily as an informational panel, though it does support a handful of features such as a camera viewfinder and a few widgets, including weather and alarm functionalities.

However, owing to its small size and limited feature set, this cover screen did not serve its required purpose.

Here the Z Flip 5’s major improvement shines brightly. The device flaunts a 3.4-inch external screen—bigger even than the Oppo Find N2’s 3.26-inch external display—and it bears a resolution of 748 x 720 pixels, leading to a pixel density of 305ppi.

Consequently, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers approximately the same level of detail as the Z Flip 4, but its enlarged size considerably enhances its utility—a welcome improvement.

Furthermore, the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s external display is highly customisable. Users can decorate it with images, clocks, and frames. The larger size enables them to swipe to view notifications more effectively and respond with the full keyboard.

The internal folding display on the Z Flip 5 remains exactly the same  with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display that has a punch-hole up top for the selfie shooter.

Resolution-wise the panel is an FHD+ screen and has LTPO 2.0 technology which enables the refresh rate to drop to 1Hz all the way from 120Hz.

Performance

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Performance

Another one of the few differences between the two devices is of course the processing capabilities. The Z Flip 4 runs on last year’s flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It is offered in a single 8GB LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage option.

The Z Flip 5 offers the better Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform and increases the base storage to 256GB. However, there is still no addition of a microSD card slot which is a bit of a disappointment.

Cameras and Battery

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Cameras and Battery

Both phones have the same 3,700mAh battery housed inside which supports 25W charging speeds. It can be assumed that the Z Flip 5, which has a much larger cover screen, could consume more battery than the Z Flip 4.

However, it should also be considered that the former has a more power efficient chip under the hood, which can offset some of the battery load.

Apart from that both phones also have the exact same camera setup as well. This includes dual 12MP + 12MP shooters on the back and 10MP snapper on the front.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 presents a worthwhile upgrade from its predecessor, the Z Flip 4. While it maintains many features of the Z Flip 4, it brings along several key improvements, making it more competitive in the foldable smartphone market.

Things like a more expansive external display, redesigned hinge that allows for a truly flat fold, and enhanced durability give the Z Flip 5 a distinct edge.

The device’s performance capabilities also see an uplift with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform and an increase in base storage, despite the lack of microSD card support.

Overall, despite a slight increase in price, the Z Flip 5’s improvements and additional features justify the cost, particularly for those seeking the latest advancements in foldable technology.

FAQs

Ques: What is the significant difference between the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Z Flip 4?

Ans: The most significant differences include a larger external display, a completely flat folding capability, and increased base storage in the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Additionally, the Z Flip 5 is powered by the superior Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform and has an upgraded Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the cover display.

Ques: Is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 worth the upgrade from the Z Flip 4?

Ans: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers several key improvements over the Z Flip 4. If you value a larger, more useful external display, improved flat folding design, and more base storage, it may be worth considering the upgrade. However, it ultimately depends on your specific needs and budget.

Q: What are the key improvements in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5’s external display?

Ans: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 features a larger 3.4-inch external display compared to the 1.9-inch display on the Z Flip 4. This larger size offers increased usability and more detailed information at a glance. The external display on the Z Flip 5 is also more customizable and supports full keyboard replies to notifications.

What is WormGPT? How is it Different from ChatGPT?

What is WormGPT?

Highlights

  • In November last year, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a generative AI model capable of producing human-like communication rapidly.
  • Recently, researchers discovered WormGPT, a chatbot similar to ChatGPT but without any ethical boundaries or limitations, created with malicious intent.
  • The presence of such software highlights the potential threats posed by AI modules based on the GPT-J language model, necessitating responsible and ethical use of AI technology.

In November of last year, OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT, a form of artificial intelligence known as generative AI.

The model has the remarkable ability to produce human-like communication within a matter of seconds.

The release of ChatGPT left the world astonished by the capabilities of large language models (LLM) and a worldwide debate about the perils of such tools hasn’t stopped since.

WormGPT Tool

And it appears all the concerns regarding the ill use of such technology are coming true sooner than many assumed.

Recently, researchers made a startling discovery—a new chatbot named WormGPT, which rivals ChatGPT in many ways but comes with a concerning twist.

Artificial Intelligence

Unlike ChatGPT (an acronym for “Generative Pre-Trained Transformer”), WormGPT has absolutely no ethical boundaries or limitations.
Cybersecurity firm SlashNext confirmed the existence of this “sophisticated AI model,” which, worryingly, was created with malicious intent.

The potential dangers don’t end there. This type of software is just one example of the threat posed by artificial intelligence modules based on the GPT-J language model. Even in the hands of a beginner, such technology could lead to harmful consequences.

It is essential to approach the development and use of AI with a responsible and ethical mindset to ensure that these powerful tools are leveraged for positive and beneficial purposes.

What is WormGPT?

Credit – Hacking forum

What is WormGPT?

On July 13, a significant revelation came to light as cybersecurity researchers from SlashNext published a blog post uncovering the existence of WormGPT. This alarming tool was being actively advertised for sale on a hacker forum.

The forum user’s description of the WormGPT project revealed its sinister intentions—a blackhat “alternative” to ChatGPT, intended to facilitate various illegal activities and provide an effortless means of selling such illicit content online in the future.

SlashNext highlighted that WormGPT explicitly presents itself as a malicious counterpart to GPT models, tailored specifically to serve nefarious purposes.

The discovery of this tool raises serious concerns about the potential misuse of AI technology for harmful activities, calling for heightened vigilance and proactive measures to protect against such threats.

Uncovering WormGPT, a Cybercriminal’s Arsenal, ShashNext said via their official blog, “Our team recently gained access to a tool known as “WormGPT” through a prominent online forum that’s often associated with cybercrime.

This tool presents itself as a blackhat alternative to GPT models, designed specifically for malicious activities.”

How is it Different from ChatGPT?

ShashNext further shared, “WormGPT is an AI module based on the GPTJ language model, which was developed in 2021.
It boasts a range of features, including unlimited character support, chat memory retention, and code formatting capabilities.”

How is WormGPT Different from ChatGPT?

WormGPT Different from ChatGPT?

Developer

ChatGPT is OpenAI

The developer behind ChatGPT is OpenAI, a reputable and esteemed organization.

On the other hand, it’s crucial to note that WormGPT is not their creation. Instead, it serves as a striking example of how cybercriminals can draw inspiration from sophisticated AI chatbots to craft their own malicious tools.

This highlights the potential risks associated with the misuse of advanced AI technology by unauthorized and unethical individuals or groups.

Methods of Use

Methods of Use

Using ChatGPT is a straightforward process. Users can access ChatGPT through the OpenAI website if they have an account with OpenAI. You can sign in using your credentials. Otherwise, you might need to create a new account.

In contrast, WormGPT is not accessible through conventional means, and there is no legitimate method to access the software. Instead, it can only be found on the dark web.

WormGPT Is ChatGPT For Scammer

To gain access to the service, users are required to pay a subscription fee, which must be paid using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. This method aims to ensure anonymity and avoid any detection or traceability.

It’s important to exercise caution and be wary of potential scams. Some websites may falsely claim to offer WormGPT but are actually fraudulent, intending to steal earnings or personal data from unsuspecting users.

Therefore, it is highly advised to refrain from engaging with such websites and avoid the risks associated with them.

Ethical Conduct

Ethical Conduct

The ethical implications of ChatGPT and similar large language models are a complex and evolving topic.
In developing the language model, several ethical considerations were taken into account including misinformation, privacy, misuse, consent and transparency.

OpenAI has been actively working to address these ethical concerns. They have put restrictions on certain use cases, conducted research on bias mitigation, and sought feedback from the public to improve their models’ safety and ethical aspects.

In complete contrast to this, the SlashNext reports claim WormGPT has ‘No Ethical Boundaries or Limitations’.

The developer of WormGPT is selling access to the chatbot, which can help hackers create malware and phishing attacks, according to email security provider SlashNext.

FAQs

Q1. How does WormGPT differ from other GPT models?

Answer. WormGPT was cooked up exclusively for malicious deeds, such as malware creation and exploiting vulnerabilities. This intent and lack of ethical limits distinguish it from other GPT models. Indeed, it can be the mastermind behind complex cyberattacks, inflicting considerable damage on computer systems and networks.

Using WormGPT comes packed with perils, including breaching laws related to hacking, data theft, and other illegal actions.

Q2. How to Download and Use WormGPT

Answer. There is no available method to download and use WormGPT, it can only be accessed through the dark web. There is a subscription fee to access the website. To pay for the subscription fee, you need to use cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum to avoid detection and traceability. There are some websites out there which promote themself as WormGPT, but they are mostly scammers who are ready to take away your earnings or your data. So, staying away from this is recommended.

Q3. How can I protect myself from a WormGPT attack?

Answer. To protect yourself, ensure your systems have updated security software, avoid opening suspicious emails, and refrain from engaging with unknown or potentially harmful links.

Highlights

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max is generating significant attention among Apple’s upcoming releases.
  • Anticipation is high for notable changes in the iPhone 15 lineup, with a particular focus on the impressive camera setup of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
  • Rumours suggest substantial camera upgrades are expected for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as Apple aims to outperform competitors.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max has taken the spotlight among Apple’s upcoming releases and for all good reasons. Anticipation is high due to the expectation of significant and noteworthy changes in the iPhone 15 lineup.

However, what has truly captured everyone’s attention is the impressive camera setup of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Apple’s Upcoming Releases

According to the rumours, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to receive a series of significant camera upgrades.

Apple is putting in substantial efforts to incorporate these remarkable advancements into the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with the aim of outshining the competition, particularly the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

iPhone 15 Pro Max

This emphasis on the camera is easily understandable, as it plays a pivotal role in influencing people’s purchasing decisions when choosing a smartphone.
It serves as a major differentiating factor where phone manufacturers can set their devices apart from the competition.

Apple, being well aware of this fact, has consistently recognized the importance of delivering top-notch camera capabilities better than any other company.

Coming back to iPhone 15 Pro Max Cameras, let us share all iPhone Pro Max Camera details and give you a heads up on what can you expect from the launch due in a matter of months.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera – Expected Upgrades

iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera

Bigger Sensor

Bigger Sensor

Rumours suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a larger sensor compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Specifically, it is said to come equipped with a 1/1.14-inch Sony IMX90 sensor, almost an inch in size.

This represents an 11 per cent increase in sensor size compared to the Sony IMX803 sensor found in the previous iPhone. A larger sensor translates to increased light capture, promising brighter photos for users.

Periscope Lens

Periscope Lens

One of the primary goals of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is to introduce a Periscope lens, a feature already present in the Samsung Galaxy S23.
Samsung’s implementation utilizes cutting-edge technology with a folded periscope lens to achieve a 10x zoom capability.

Leaks suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s Periscope lens will offer a 5x/6x zoom, providing improved zooming capabilities without adding thickness to the device.
All-in-all, the rumoured enhancement promises users an enhanced photography experience.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Layout

Camera Layout

Camera Layout

Currently, the iPhone 14 Pro Max models feature a Telephoto lens positioned in the top corner of the device, while the Ultra-Wide lens is located between the flash and LiDAR sensor when the phone is held in landscape orientation.

However, rumours suggest a significant change in the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s camera setup.

According to these rumours, the Ultra-Wide lens in the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be relocated to the corner position, specifically between the LiDAR and the flash.

This rearrangement is believed to free up some additional space, which Apple intends to use for accommodating the intricately folded optics of the periscope system.

This possible relocation is generating excitement among enthusiasts, as it could lead to further advancements in the device’s camera capabilities.

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Leaked Renders

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Leaked Renders

Earlier this year, Twitter tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) tweeted a bunch of CAD renders of the alleged iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The renders were presented with a comparison of the dimensions of the upcoming phone with the current iPhone 14 Pro Max.

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Leaked Renders

The initial focal point is the noticeable absence of physical buttons, leaving behind empty spaces that may strike as peculiar. However, it’s quite doubtful that this will be the ultimate design.

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Design

One of the renders also suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro Max might be a little thicker than the current-gen model (8.25mm vs 7.85mm) without including the camera bump. At the same time, it would have a narrower width of 76.73mm (vs 77.6mm).

The height of the phone could also be slightly shorter at 159.86mm, compared to 160.7mm on the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Price

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Price

The latest rumour regarding the iPhone 15 series price is being reported in the tech news circuit via a Barclays analyst. The leak has suggested the starting price of all four iPhone models scheduled to launch later this year.

If the leaked pricing is true, the iPhone 15 Pro models will be more expensive than the outgoing models. Even the Apple news handle @@theapplehub on X (previously Twitter) posted about the price leak.

As per the leak, the following could be the upcoming iPhone 15 lineup pricing:

  • iPhone 15 – $799
  • iPhone 15 Plus – $899
  • iPhone 15 Pro – Up to $1,099 ($100 increase)
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max – Up to $1,299 ($100-$200 increase)

There is no official communication to support this, but we can expect to get a clearer picture in the next few weeks.

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Release Date

iPhone 15 Pro Max – Release Date

Although nothing official has come out on the release day yet, we do have a fair idea of when the iPhone 15 series will be coming out based on the last six years of history of iPhone releases.

The history of the Cupertino giant suggests that iPhone 15 series will target mid-September this year (2023) for the official release. Most probably the actual event will happen about a week or so before.
