Apple introduced Business Caller ID service just like Truecaller

Apple is creating “Business Caller ID,” a caller ID service that will assist users in combating spam calls. The program will allow companies to register their names, logos, and departments on the platform, allowing consumers to see who is calling. This effort is part of Apple’s continuous efforts to enhance the user experience and security.

David Dorn, Apple’s senior director of Internet Software and Services Product said, “We’re excited to offer all businesses — including those without a physical location — the ability to create a brand that appears across the Apple apps that over a billion people use every day. We designed Business Connect to empower businesses to present the best, most accurate information to Apple users. With today’s updates, we’re helping even more businesses reach customers, build trust, and grow.”

Business Connect enables businesses, regardless of location, to register and develop a visual brand identity, increasing client connection and trust building, whether they provide services or operate online. Businesses will be able to display their brand in the Mail and Phone applications, as well as customise their logo for Tap to Pay on iPhone.

Branded Mail allows businesses to include their brand name and logo in emails, making them more recognisable and distinguishable in the Mail app. Sign-up is open, and their branding will appear to customers later this year.

When receiving payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone, businesses may display their logo rather than a category sign, informing customers that the transaction is secure and validated.

Beginning next year, Apple will let companies register for Business Caller ID, which will display their name, logo, and department on the inbound call screen, avoiding spam and unwanted outreach.

Vivo X200 series India launch likely to happen soon, timeline revealed

The Vivo X200 series has made its debut in China recently. While Vivo has not announced the launch date in India, a report suggests it will debut before the end of this year. The lineup consists of three models – Vivo X200, X200 Pro, and X200 Pro Mini. The phones run on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC and feature camera systems co-engineered by German optics brand Zeiss.

According to a report the Vivo X200 series is likely to be launched in India by the end of November or the first week of December, following its launch in China this week. While the announcement has yet to be made, Vivo is said to be teasing the phones and their arrival on its social media accounts in the coming weeks.

Vivo X200, X200 Pro and X200 Pro Mini Specifications

The Vivo X200 and Pro models have 6.67-inch and 6.78-inch displays with 1.5K OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, and 4500 nits peak brightness. They feature MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, up to 16GB RAM, and 1TB internal storage. Operating on Origin OS 5, they have a 5,800mAh battery for the X200 and a 6,000mAh battery for the Pro, with 90W wired fast charging support.

The Vivo X200 features a Zeiss-powered 50MP 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX921 main sensor with OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto sensor. On the other hand, the Pro model comes with a 50MP LYT-818 primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 200MP Zeiss APO telephoto sensor with a V3+ imaging chip. Both models have a 32MP selfie camera.

Both models have an IP68+IP69 water and dust resistance rating. Both phones also feature a 32MP selfie camera.

The Vivo X200 Pro Mini features a 6.3-inch 1.5K OLED LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It shares the chipset, OS, selfie camera, and IP rating with its older siblings. The rear camera features a 50MP Sony LYT818 primary camera, 50MP ultrawide sensor, and 50MP periscope sensor with 100x digital zoom. It has a 5,700mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

Vivo T3 Pro Review: Aesthetically pleasing and balanced performance

The Vivo T3 Pro, which retails for Rs 24,999, is the fourth smartphone in the company’s T3 Series. Before this, the Vivo T3 Lite, T3X, and T3 were introduced in India priced under Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000. After using the Vivo T3 Pro for seven days, we will provide you with a review in this post. We’ll review everything you need to know about this phone, including how well it shoots images and videos, its gaming performance, and much more. 

In addition, we’ll be honest about whether the Vivo T3 Pro is worth the money. Therefore, read the entire review if you’re considering purchasing the Vivo T3 Pro or simply want to know more about this phone. 

Vivo T3 Pro Review: Design and Display

The Vivo T3 Pro comes in plain-looking white packaging. You will find the gadget itself, the user manual, and other documents inside. A clear, high-quality cover has been included. An 80W flash charger, a SIM ejector tool, and a USB A to Type C charging cable are included. 

Vivo T3 Pro Review: Design and Display

This phone has a 5,500mAh battery. Before we even looked at it, we thought it would be thick and heavy, but it weighs 190g and measures 163.72 x 75.0 x 7.99mm. Its sleek form factor makes it feel like a high-end, handy gadget, and the curved front display and the curved back sides make it fit perfectly in our hands.

We have the Sandstone Orange colour option with a vegan leather finish for the review. We believe that Vivo has taken care of little details, such as the metallic frame around the camera module, which improves the phone’s overall look. The phone’s side frames and camera framing are both golden, which goes really nicely with the orange hue.

In addition, the phone has an emerald green back; however, it lacks the vegan leather finish and just has a polycarbonate back. But looks are subjective, and because everyone has different tastes, you are free to choose the version that appeals to you.

Vivo T3 Pro Review: Design and Display

The firm has also taken care of the phone’s construction since it includes a protective layer, which is required for phones with curved screens. In addition, Scott Xensation UP protection is there on the screen. Because of its IP64 rating, the gadget is resistant to dust and splashes. A dual stereo speaker arrangement is also included within the phone.

The 6.77-inch full-HD+ 3D curved AMOLED screen of the Vivo T3 Pro 5G has a resolution of 1,080 x 2,392 pixels. Compared to its predecessor, the Vivo T2 Pro, which supported 1,300 nits of peak brightness, the device’s display boasts 4,500 nits of peak brightness and support for a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Also, there is an in-display optical fingerprint sensor for biometrics.

Vivo T3 Pro Review: Design and Display

The bezels on the sides are thin for the price. Regarding brightness, you are receiving 4,500 nits in peak brightness, which is an important figure for this segment. It is not just a boast, in practice, the greatest benefit of the maximum brightness is for HDR video, which is supported by both YouTube and Netflix. More significantly, we experienced no problems using this phone outside in bright sunlight.

We had a great time using this phone. The contrast, colours, and visuals in the videos are excellent. It offers excellent, crisp, colourful images and even supports HDR on Netflix and YouTube. Consequently, you receive a fantastic multimedia experience when you use the device. We used the phone at 120 Hz as its CPU is incredibly fast and capable of handling anything. The phone appears more luxurious thanks to its curved display.

Vivo T3 Pro Review: Performance and Camera

The performance is the primary highlight. Equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, which is built on 4nm, the Vivo T3 Pro offers powerful performance together with battery efficiency. Indeed, it has a liquid cooling vapor chamber for better temperature control when playing games. Up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage and up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM are included with the device.

Everyday tasks may be easily handled using the Vivo T3 Pro. Performance was not compromised whether playing games, viewing movies, utilising social media, or surfing the internet.

Review of Vivo T3 Pro

You can play games in Ultra HDR on this phone. Additionally, this has a 2,000Hz touch sampling rate, which enhances the fluidity and smoothness of the game. In essence, it will accurately record each touch you make on the screen. Two features are included in its game mode. The first is the 4D game vibration, which, when activated, causes your entire phone to vibrate every time you shoot, simulating firing a real gun.

The second is motion control, which is an extremely cool feature that allows you to use gestures to control motion. This is really extremely helpful because, for example, if you tilt the phone to the left, the gun should reload; if you tilt it forward, it should jump; and if you tilt it backwards, it goes to a down position.

Additionally, there is a function called instant startup at zero. This feature has the benefit of turning on your phone in five seconds after charging it, even if you are playing a game and it shuts off at 0 percent. You will return to the game immediately after reaching the phone’s home screen in only 33 seconds.

It runs on Funtouch OS 14, which is based on Android 14, right out of the box, and the firm promises two and three years of upgrades. Despite the presence of bloatware on the mobile device, the majority of the apps are easily uninstallable. We saw no microstutters or lags due to the well-designed user interface.

The T3 Pro 5G has a dual-back camera arrangement for pictures and videos, which consists of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. Upfront, there is a 16-megapixel camera for selfies and video calling.

Review of Vivo T3 Pro

Thus, the primary sensor’s image quality is excellent in well-lit environments. In bright ambient light, it is able to generate high-quality photos. It seems to have adequate colour, contrast, and sharpness. You can see that the close-up pictures in this post are crisp and have good details. Because the primary camera can capture high-quality images, the colours seem stunning and are rather accurate.

Review of Vivo T3 Pro

Now let’s talk about the 8MP ultra-wide sensor. The images have a respectable amount of detail, although they are clearly just crisp enough for an 8MP sensor. The hues, however, are pleasingly realistic and almost identical to those of a primary sensor. In the same vein, low-light ultra-wide photos seem crisp, detailed, and noise-free.

The skin tones, details, and clarity of the portraits you see here are all superb. Although the colours are a bit bright, edge detection is also done effectively.

Review of Vivo T3 Pro

Photos taken indoors in low light are more or less clear and have less noise. However, you can see fine details in very low light when you turn on the night mode.

Review of Vivo T3 Pro

Moving on to the selfie camera, the 16MP front sensor performs wonderfully, displaying nice details and clarity. Additionally, the skin tone seems natural. Low-light selfies are also satisfactory, and the Night Mode option is also there. It is also possible to capture selfies in portrait mode, which performs admirably all around.

The phone has an impressive 5,500mAh battery that supports 80W wired fast charging. The charger is included in the box, which is the most important aspect. This phone easily provides 8 hours of screen time, and if you are a typical smartphone user, you may easily acquire a 1.5-day battery backup. Additionally, this smartphone has 7.5W reverse wire charging. 

Verdict

In terms of overall design, the smartphone’s vegan leather finish improves grip, and the front and rear panels are smooth and curved. The main feature is that it contains a 5,500mAh battery, even though it is incredibly light and slim.

The MediaTek processor has given us very consistent performance across the board. This processor maintains balanced performance and vapour cooling chambers have also been implemented, which is why so many manufacturers like using this chipset in various price ranges. Therefore, the thermals are extremely effectively regulated even if you play games for extended periods of time. When compared to other phones, this one offers a really nice gaming experience. The phone’s battery is a major selling point.

The front and rear cameras both work quite well. In addition to the great daytime photos, the resulting low-light experience is also excellent. We can state with confidence that the Vivo T3 Pro is a stunning smartphone.

Google Flights Introduces ‘Cheapest’ Tab to Unearth Lower Airfares

If you’re always on the hunt to find the cheapest airfares, there’s some good news for you. Google Flights has rolled out a new “Cheapest” tab designed to help travellers uncover even lower-priced options for their journeys. This feature aims to make bargain hunting easier, especially for those willing to trade a bit of convenience for cost savings.

Read Also: Google is revamping its Express Shopping platform, Trips app 

Traditionally, when you search for flights, Google Flights displays the best options at the top—balancing price and convenience. However, cheaper alternatives might be tucked away, especially if you’re open to less conventional itineraries. The new Google Flights cheapest tab brings these options to the forefront, highlighting deals that might involve a few trade-offs.

For instance, you might find lower fares offered by third-party booking sites rather than the airlines themselves. Or perhaps flying back into a different airport within the same city—like departing from LaGuardia but returning to JFK—could shave dollars off your ticket price. The feature also surfaces itineraries with longer layovers, self-transfers, or flights requiring purchases from multiple airlines or booking platforms.

This update is rolling out globally over the next two weeks, wherever Google Flights is available. It opens up a world of possibilities for travellers whose priority is to save on travel costs. But it’s essential to be aware that these cheaper options might come with added complexities, like managing separate bookings or navigating unfamiliar airports during transfers.

For those planning their next vacation or holiday trip, this could be an opportune time to take advantage of the new feature. According to recent insights, the cheapest fares for U.S. domestic trips around Thanksgiving and Christmas are often bookable in October. So, with the “Cheapest” tab at your disposal, now might be the perfect moment to secure low-cost flight options.

While saving money is always appealing, it’s crucial to weigh the cost against potential inconveniences. Longer layovers might mean more time waiting in airports, and self-transfers could require rechecking baggage or passing through security multiple times. Additionally, purchasing different legs of a trip through multiple airlines might complicate changes or cancellations.

In the end, the “Cheapest” tab provides an easy way to see the lowest prices available and decide for yourself what trade-offs you’re willing to make. It empowers travellers with more information, allowing for informed decisions that best suit their budgets and preferences.

Embracing flexibility can lead to significant savings, and this new feature is a testament to that. While not every traveller will want to navigate the complexities of creative itineraries, for the budget-conscious, the “Cheapest” tab could be a game-changer in planning affordable travel.

The premium pen is finely crafted for balance and even features a soft-tipped eraser that feels like a pencil—you might find yourself instinctively brushing off imaginary eraser shavings. The Kindle Scribe features new experiences for in-book writing and note-taking, including an AI-powered notebook that can summarize pages of notes into concise bullets.

For those who prioritize speed, the all-new Kindle Paperwhite is the fastest Kindle yet. It features 25% faster page turns and an oxide thin-film transistor that provides the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle. Text and images pop off the larger 7-inch display, and with up to three months of battery life, it’s designed for the long haul. The Kindle Paperwhite’s faster performance makes scrolling through your library a breeze, and it comes in eye-catching colours like Raspberry and Jade.

Even the entry-level Kindle gets a fun upgrade with a new Matcha colour Kindle option. Weighing just 158 grams, it’s small enough to fit in your hand or back pocket but packed with premium features like a 300 ppi glare-free display, faster page turns, and brighter front light. It’s the ideal device for reading anywhere the day takes you.

It’s clear that Amazon is not resting on its laurels in the e-reader market. The company is pushing the boundaries of what we expect from an e-reader by introducing features like colour displays and AI-powered note-taking. Whether these new features will redefine the reading experience or simply add more options for consumers remains to be seen, but they certainly make the Kindle lineup more compelling than ever.

iPad Mini (2024) vs iPad Mini (2021): Should you upgrade?

Apple officially launched the all-new iPad Mini (2024) aka iPad Mini 7 in India and globally. The new version comes with some noteworthy improvements like the A17 Pro chipset which not only accelerates its performance but brings Apple Intelligence features to the mini slate. However, other crucial areas, such as the design, cameras and display, have remained untouched indicating that they resemble the device from the previous generation. Let’s see how the new iPad Mini (2024) compares to the last-gen model iPad Mini (2021).

Display

iPad Mini (2024): 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display
iPad Mini (2021):8.3-inch Liquid Retina display

Processor

iPad Mini (2024): A17 Pro chip
iPad Mini (2021): A15 Bionic chip

Rear camera(s)

iPad Mini (2024): 12-megapixel wide-angle camera with an f/1.8 aperture
iPad Mini (2021): 12MP Wide camera with ƒ/1.8 aperture

iPad Mini (2021): 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with ƒ/2.4 aperture

Storage

iPad Mini (2024): 128GB, 256GB and 512GB of storage

iPad Mini (2021): Rs 48,900

Our Take

The iPad Mini variants have almost identical designs, including an 8.3-inch IPS LCD screen, rounded corners, and flat edges. Of course, the camera sensors are also the same as those on the old iPad.

Compared to its predecessor, the iPad Mini (2024) has a number of noteworthy improvements. The switch to the A17 Pro processor, which significantly improves CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine performance, is the biggest modification. Support for Apple’s major 2024 feature, Apple Intelligence, including notification summaries, writing tools, image and emoji generation, and a redesigned Siri that incorporates ChatGPT, on-screen awareness, and action capabilities, is also included with the Apple A17 Pro chipset. On the other hand, no Apple Intelligence capabilities will be available on the older iPad Mini (2021).

A speedier USB-C connector for faster data transfers, Smart HDR 4 for higher-quality photos, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro with hover capabilities for more accuracy are some of the other highlights of the iPad Mini (2024). By sensing rotation through its built-in gyroscope, the Apple Pencil Pro enhances the natural pen and paper experience by letting users reorient the brush and curved pen tools on the screen.

Later on, more potent features like Image Playground, Image Wand, Genmoji, and the eagerly anticipated Siri update are planned.

With Wi-Fi 6E, Apple has improved the iPad Mini (2024)’s acceleration for quicker downloads and streaming of videos. Large images and video files may now be imported more quickly thanks to the USB-C port’s 10Gbps data transfer rate, which is double the iPad Mini (2021)‘s 5Gbps speed. Now that 5G support via eSIM is a possibility, both iPad minis are more effective and adaptable.

Should you upgrade?

The A15 Bionic chip is sufficient for everyday tasks, but unless you need Apple Intelligence, quicker data transfers, or superior control over the Apple Pencil, upgrading might not be beneficial. Consider getting a cheap iPad Mini (2021) if you don’t already have one.
