Realme’s last series for the mid-range category was Realme 7 and it was a great success for the company as well. Now Realme is all set to launch the Realme 8 series in the future and they have already started giving a glimpse of what they will be offering to the customers. CEO Madhav Sheth has started teasing the upcoming lineup via Twitter. The company has already revealed the camera details on Twitter claiming that the phone will have a 108MP camera sensor, which is very rare for a phone under this budget.

The tweet posted by him mentions, “Do you guys know what 108 stands for?” The image hints towards a quad-camera module and it could be speculated looking at the image that the Realme 8 series will have a quad-camera setup on the rear, including a 108MP primary sensor. But it does seem that the 108MP sensor will only be available to the higher variants of the Realme 8 series. The company has not yet confirmed the same and there is no confirmation as to which model in the series will specifically have the 108MP sensor.

As per the launch they have done in the past, it is speculated that the Realme 8 Pro will be the variant that will end up with this camera sensor. Apart from the camera, the company has been very quiet about the phone. However, we can expect that the company will be revealing a lot more about the phone on their social handles before its official launch.

Redmi Note 10 series is about to launch in the Indian market and before its official launch, a lot of details have already been leaked in the market. The phone is all set to make its debut on March 4 next month, both in the Indian and global market. The company has made sure that they reveal information about the device bit by bit to build up the excitement till the launch. The company has unveiled yet another information about the phone which confirms that it will come with the 108MP primary camera sensor on the rear. 

It will be the first phone in the Note series by Xiaomi which will have a 108MP sensor. The company has already used it in the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, but it was not available in any other country apart from China and when launched in India, it was rebranded to Xiaomi Mi 10i. It has also been confirmed that the 108Mp sensor will only be a part of the Redmi Note 10 Pro, or Note 10 Pro Max smartphone. Similarly, Realme has also jumped into the competition with Realme 8 which is supposed to have the same camera sensor.

The announcement of the camera sensor was made by the company on their official Twitter handle. The 108MP camera sensor used on it is most likely from Samsung which is an HM1 sensor. With such smartphones, the 108MP camera sensor has finally made it to mid-range devices from the premium range. We hope that Xiaomi reveals a few more details before the official launch.

With Samsung offering and launching so many new smartphones in the Indian market, the company was expected to launch the Galaxy A32, A52, and A72 soon. Now all three models have been listed on the Indian website of Samsung which also includes a 5G version of A32. The company was earlier expected to only launch the 4G compatible handset for these model numbers, but now the appearance of the 5G handset makes the offering more appealing. 

When it comes to the handsets, both the A52 and A72 smartphones will have an AMOLED display which will also support a 90Hz refresh rate for a smoother screen experience. Apart from that, the display will also come with punch-holes, which will have a 32MP selfie camera sensor. The rear will have a quad-camera setup with the primary sensor as 64MP, which is used in almost all the smartphones of Samsung in this category. It will also come with an in-display fingerprint sensor and other features like a USB-C port, 3.5 mm jack, etc. 

The A52 phone will offer a battery of 4,500 mAh and will also support 25W fast charging. On the other hand, the Galaxy A72 comes with a 6.7-inch screen and a 5,000 mAh battery which will also support 25W fast charging. These smartphones will be offered to the customers in the mid-range segment, which means we can expect Samsung to launch them with aggressive pricing in the Indian market. Since the launch is expected soon, we can expect Samsung to make the announcement for launch any time now.

Netflix is currently focused on bringing more AI-powered features to their platform which makes suggestions, notifications, and other features on the app more user-friendly. Among those features, Netflix is all set to add a new feature where it will automatically download show recommendations and movies based on viewer history. The new feature is called Downloads for You and has been made available for users globally on Android smartphones. The feature will also be rolled out on iOS devices very soon. The feature will not be activated automatically and will require the users to opt-in. 

The feature can be activated from the downloads tab in the app and one needs to set up the space limit from 1GB, 3GB, or 5GB depending on the space you want the app to use. The more space, the more you will have Netflix recommendations downloaded. Some of the downloads might be limited due to licensing restrictions. The feature is a great addition for people who like watching the content on Netflix in offline mode. Netflix also offered a similar feature for Netflix users in 2018, which automatically deletes downloaded episodes after they’ve been watched. 

Netflix is currently working on many more features for viewers who like to watch the content in both offline and online mode. Similarly, they have been using AI technology to make their recommendation system a lot better, which would automatically suggest the users with new content when they are done watching the previous one. You can simply update the version of your Netflix app and the features will be available to use.

New renders and images have been leaked for the Google Pixel 5a smartphone which shows how the company will continue its latest design in the upcoming phones as well.

The phone seems to have a unibody construction which is definitely made out of good quality plastic. The screen size of the phone is 6.2″ FHD+ OLED with thin bezels and forehead but a more significant chin. The renders also show a front-facing camera that has been placed on the left side of the display panel in a hole punch cutout. 

The rear comes with a dual-camera display, which seems to be very similar to what one can find on Pixel 4a 5G. The top has the 3.5mm jack, stereo speakers and the fingerprint sensor is on the rear of the smartphone. This is currently all the details that have been leaked about the phone, but more is expected to leak out in the coming few weeks.

Samsung smartwatch was among the very first ones to launch ever since the trend of smartwatches started in the market. Ever since that time, smartwatches have evolved in a large way, trying to add as many features and making them as feature-rich as possible. One of the most popular features currently in smartwatches has to be ECG and blood oxygen monitoring, something that both Samsung and Apple have pioneered in the smartwatch category. 

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch3 and Watch Active2 both have hardware support for ECG monitoring, but it is taking a long time to show up for everyone since the feature has to be approved by each country’s health agencies. The feature was previously only exclusive to South Korea till September 2020 and later it was enabled in the US as well. Now the company is all set to offer the same ECG monitoring feature in 32 more countries. The reports have been leaked by SamMobile which claims that the Samsung Health Monitor app, which is required for blood pressure and ECG measurement monitoring, is now officially available from the Galaxy Store in 32 more regions. 

Most of the countries on the list are from Europe and a few from the Middle Eastern and Asian regions. The list of countries that have been added in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. The only requirement to use this feature is a Samsung Phone that has been paired with Samsung Watch.

The CES event that was held last month revealed a lot of new technologies and devices that the companies have been planning to roll out in the future. One of the highlighted technologies was the rollable screen that was unveiled by LG. The company claimed that they have been working on a new type of smartphone that will come with the rollable screen technology. The phone was expected to come later this year, however, it now seems that the phone has been delayed and might be launched next year or even further. The report was leaked by Yonhap News who is claiming that the project has been currently put on hold. 

It is not a surprise as a month back information started to leak out in the market that LG is looking to sell off their smartphone business as it has not received the expected response and sales from the customers. The company has not given any type of official statement on the same but it is clear that the potential downfall of sales is the major reason behind it. 

It has also been reported that due to this LG’s suppliers might be seeking compensation for the work that they have already done on the project. The rollable screen project could have a serious market for LG and could have been a very good option for premium smartphones in the market. However, it seems that we will not be looking at the smartphone concept coming into reality now unless there are changes in the plan of selling their smartphone unit.

Apple has been working on a lot of new devices which can be launched in the month of March. It was already suspected that the company will be unveiling the new Macbook lineup in March and now the details of new Airpods have also reached the market. Apple Airpods have been a hugely successful product from Apple, something which inspired other competitors to follow them. Currently, the Airpods available in the market are version 2 which was launched in the year 2019. 

The company is now working on Apple AirPods 3, which is expected to launch in the month of March this year. The reports that were confirmed by 52Audio mention that the new Apple AirPods 3 may feature Active Noise Cancellation technology that was seen in AirPods Pro. The leaks that have appeared previously and the details that have been leaked now, almost confirm that the new Apple AirPods 3 will feature a new design as well which will have a smaller stem and an ear tip that can be easily replaced.

Apple could also include a basic ANC feature in the Airpods 3 and also provide a Pro variant for the same. With a smaller stem design, will also come the relocated sensors/pressure port. The stem will retain pressure touch inputs but will be longer than that of the AirPods Pro. The new charging case will also be very similar to that of the Pro variant but a little smaller in size. It will also have a front charging indicator and wireless charging support.

Spotify has recently announced that they will be launching the new Spotify HiFi services very soon which will finally enable streaming lossless audio. The company had been working on new features for the past few months which would increase the clarity of the audio, and now they have finally unveiled the HiFi mode which will enable “CD-quality” audio on existing devices and Spotify Connect-enabled speakers. 

The company has not confirmed any details on the bit rate, and codec for HiFi mode, but the company currently used Ogg Vorbis on desktop and mobile, and AAC for the web player. Spotify has been testing the feature with select users being selected for A/B testing since early 2017. It has now joined the ranks of other competitors in the market which provides lossless audio. Tidal, Amazon, Quobuz, and Deezer have been some companies that have already been providing the option to the users.

Now, these companies have been providing lossless audio which exceeds the technical limit of an audio CD, which does not give Spotify an advantage as they will only be limited currently to CD audio quality. The company has already confirmed that the new feature will not be available to all the users immediately after the launch. The feature will be rolling out in select markets and slowly to other markets later this year. The company will be working on improving and making the feature much better before it is launched in the other market as there are still only a few counties where the lossless audio feature has been offered.
