Everything we know about the CMF Phone 1 by Nothing so far

After finding success with its see-through design philosophy, Nothing established a subsidiary brand called CMF which focuses on relatively affordable tech products. So far, CMF has released two TWS products, a neckband, a smartwatch, and a GaN charger. This month, Nothing is pulling out the big guns with the launch of the first CMF Phone set for July 8. The brand has been periodically dropping specs and teasers about the upcoming smartphone. And by the looks of it, it is bound to stir things up. With the launch date approaching soon, here is everything we know about the CMF Phone 1 so far.

CMF Phone 1: Form factor, specs, features, and more

While CMF’s design language is far removed from Nothing’s products, it does have a unique identity. The company likes to play around with solid colours, as evidenced by the consistent splash of orange across its line of products. The CMF Phone 1 will not only carry that forward, but it will also add a new twist to the form factor we’re used to seeing.

CMF Phone 1

The plastic back panel of the CMF phone has visible screws on the body. Looking at the latest teaser image posted by CMF, it appears that these screws can be undone using the compact screwdriver that comes with the device. This screwdriver also doubles as a SIM ejector tool.

But here’s the most fun part of the whole experience – the CMF Phone 1 will sport detachable cases for the back panel. The colour options include Black, Blue, Orange, and Light Green. Users can also add different accessories like a kickstand, lanyard, and more to the back panel. It remains to be seen whether taking apart the back panel with the screwdriver provided in the box will allow users to swap the battery of the phone.

CMF Phone 1: Form factor, specs, features, and more

The display specs of the CMF Phone 1 are also quite impressive. The smartphone will rock a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. This display supports HDR10+ and can reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. There is a touchscreen sensor underneath this display as well.

Under the hood, the CMF Phone 1 will rock the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC. This will make it more powerful than Nothing Phone 2a (our review here), which was launched earlier this year. There will be 16GB of RAM onboard, although Nothing may also offer smaller RAM variants.

CMF Phone 1 to feature a 50-megapixel Sony sensor

There are two camera sensors on the back panel of the smartphone. Nothing has confirmed that the primary shooter will be a 50MP f/1.8 sensor from Sony. The company says it “captures naturally beautiful images”. There are advanced algorithms like Ultra XDR onboard to bring out the best in the images captured by the main sensor. The details of the secondary camera still remain a mystery. We expect it to be an ultrawide lens since Nothing isn’t known to add clutter like a macro camera or a depth sensor to its rear camera modules.

Apart from the Phone 1, CMF will also launch the Watch Pro 2 and Buds Pro 2 on July 8. Prices for all three devices will be revealed upon launch. How much would you pay for the CMF Phone 1? Let us know in the comments!

WhatsApp will soon allow users to create their AI Avatars: Here’s how

According to a recent report from WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp will be adding AI avatars to the 2.24.14.13 beta version of the app. This feature is currently under development and will be made available to beta testers soon. This news comes weeks after the Meta AI chatbot was added to WhatsApp. So, let’s take a look at what AI avatars are and how you can create them on WhatsApp.

What’s the difference between an animated avatar and AI avatar?

The option to create an animated avatar of yourself on WhatsApp has been available since 2022. You can set up your avatar by going to Settings>Avatar and clicking an image of yourself. Meta uses this image to create an animated avatar based on your likeliness. You can then customise attributes like skin colour, hair, eyes, nose, and others before settling on the end result.

AI avatars on WhatsApp will be a whole new ball game. These avatars will be moulded by Meta AI and will essentially be a hyper-realistic version of yourself. Meta AI will require a set of images to base the avatar on. Once that’s done, you can use the chatbot to create more images involving your AI avatar.

While this feature sounds fun to use, it has rightfully raised privacy concerns. Meta will allow users to remove their ‘setup photos’ from the company’s servers whenever they want. Given Facebook’s history of mishandling user data, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Step 1: Launch WhatsApp and tap the ellipses at the top right corner of the screen.

Step 2: Tap on Settings.

Step 3: Go to Avatar.

Step 4: Provide WhatsApp with a set of your pictures from different angles and in different poses.

Step 5: Meta AI will analyse the pictures and come up with an AI avatar for you.

Step 6: Once your AI avatar has been created, open your chat with Meta AI from the app’s home page.

Step 7: Type ‘imagine me’ and enter your prompt. Meta AI will generate an image of you according to the prompt provided to it.

Step 8: You can also summon the Meta AI bot in your chats with other people and use the ‘imagine me’ command to create images with your AI avatar.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I create an animated avatar of myself on WhatsApp?

Go to Settings>Avatar>Create your Avatar>Get started and take a picture. Once that’s done, WhatsApp will create an animated avatar for you. You can further edit this avatar before deciding whether you want to keep it.

How do I create an AI avatar on WhatsApp?

Creating an AI avatar will require uploading multiple images of yourself to WhatsApp. Meta AI will process these images and create an AI avatar for you. Make sure the set of images you provide to WhatsApp covers different angles and poses.

When will AI avatars be launched on WhatsApp?

Meta will be launching the AI avatar feature on WhatsApp in the coming months.

How to run local LLMs on your Android phone (2024)

0

As AI models make their way into smartphones, the discourse around data security is also rapidly gaining steam. Premium devices with dedicated Neural Processing Units are able to handle a portion of AI tasks on the device itself but rely on cloud processing to carry out more demanding tasks. Apple is also going down the same route by outsourcing some of the AI processing to Open AI’s servers. If that is a deal breaker for you, there are some workarounds out there that you might be interested in. Today, we bring you the easiest way to run LLMs on your Android phone locally.

Is the MLC Chat app worth a go?

The MLC Chat app makes it possible to run a range of LLMs locally on your Android phone. Of course, this means that your Android phone needs to have a capable processor that is up to the task. Devices running Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Gen 3 should be ideal for this task. However, this does not mean that you won’t face lags or hiccups while running the Language Models using the limited resources on your Android flagship.

Luckily, MLC Chat has six LLMs to choose from. This includes some of the more popular models like Llama 3 which is employed by Meta AI. You can also use a Small Language Model like Microsoft’s Phi 2 for a much smoother experience. It goes without saying that you can only carry out text conversations with the LLMs using MLC Chat. More demanding tasks like image generation are still not possible using on-device resources only.

Install and run local LLMs on your Android phone using MLC Chat

Install and run local LLMs on your Android phone using MLC Chat

Step 1: Install the MLC Chat app on your Android phone using this link.

Step 2: Since you’re downloading the app from a third-party source, you will need to give your web browser permission to download and install MLC Chat from an unknown source.

Step 3: Launch the MLC Chat app on your phone.

Step 4: Go through the list of Large Language Models on offer. At the time of writing this article, there are 6 LLMs available on MLC Chat: Gemma 2B, Llama 2 7B, Llama 3 8B Instruct, Phi 2, Mistral 7B Instruct, and RedPajama Incite Chat 3B.

Step 5: Hit the downward arrow icon next to a language model to download it on your device.

Step 6: Tap the chat icon to initiate a conversation with the AI model.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I run an on-device AI model on my Android phone?

Download the MLC Chat app on your phone, select an LLM, and hit the chat icon to initiate a conversation with the AI model. All the AI processing will take place on your device and won’t be outsourced to a cloud server.

How powerful does my phone need to be to run an on-device AI model?

The MLC Chat app does not require a dedicated NPU to run an LLM on your phone. However, it is recommended that you use a smartphone with a powerful chipset like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (or above).

Does Meta AI on WhatsApp carry out its processing on my device?

No, the Meta AI chatbot on WhatsApp exports its processing to a cloud server. The data you feed it is not confined to your device.

Conclusion

This is how you can run on-device LLMs locally on your Android phone. Since LLMs are very power-demanding, expect frequent shutdowns while using heavy AI models like Llama 2 on your device. If your phone lacks the processing power, we recommend using a light LLM like Phi 2.

7 ways to make your Android phone’s speaker louder

A low-intensity audio output from your phone’s speaker is more of an annoyance during the summer than at any other period of the year. The background sounds of the ceiling fan, cooler, and AC can easily drown out the weak audio output from your device. The speakers on your smartphone aren’t designed to fill the room, which compounds the problem at hand. Luckily, there are some hacks you can use to improve the situation. In this article, we bring you the top 7 ways to make your Android phone’s speaker louder.

Read Also: Everything we know about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Ring

Why is my Android phone’s speaker producing a low output?

Your phone’s hardware, especially the speaker unit, can wear out over time, leading to a drop in performance. However, if you’re facing the ‘low audio output’ problem on a relatively newer phone, it could be due to the following reasons:

  • Accumulation of dirt, grime, or moisture on the speaker unit
  • Obstruction of the speaker by the phone cover
  • Lack of a stereo speaker
  • Weird positioning of the smartphone
  • Faulty equaliser settings
  • Hardware damage

Adjust the position of your phone

Review of Nothing Phone 1

It is important to know the position of the speaker grille on your phone. This grille houses the primary speaker and is generally located on the bottom edge of the device. If you own an entry-level or a lower midrange smartphone, it is likely that this is the only source of audio output on your device. Upper midrange and flagship phones have a secondary speaker on the top edge as well. On some devices, the earpiece may double up as the secondary speaker.

If your phone is struggling to produce a loud audio output, always make sure that the primary speaker is pointing towards you. This will focus the audio on you and will limit the loss in intensity to the surroundings.

Make sure the speaker isn’t obstructed

If you notice a drop in loudness while gaming, it is likely because your palm is obstructing the primary speaker grille. Flip the phone or use a different position to play the game. You may want to cup your palm around the grille to louden the audio output. Taking off the phone cover helps as well.

Clean the speaker

Review of Nothing Phone 1

If your phone took a dip or was exposed to water splashes, its audio output must have taken a hit. When water droplets settle on the speaker’s membrane, it vibrates at a lower frequency, leading to a lower output. Use a third-party app like Dry Speaker to remove the moisture from the speaker grille on your phone.

Accumulation of dirt and grime on the speaker’s membrane can also cause a drop in audio intensity. Use a needle to unsettle the dirt from the speaker. Be careful that you’re gentle with the needle or you’ll end up permanently damaging the membrane. The idea is to scrape the dirt particles from the grille. Once that’s done, tap your phone gently on a solid surface to remove the unsettled particles.

Use an empty bowl to create an acoustic box

Infinix GT 10 Pro review: Design and Display Top 6 ways to make your Android phone’s speaker louder (2024)

If you’re looking for an easy hack to make your Android phone’s speaker louder, an empty bowl should do the trick. Place your phone inside the bowl but make sure the speaker grille isn’t pressing against its surface. This will create an acoustic chamber that will heighten the volume of the audio output. You can also fashion a box out of an empty paper towel bowl by making a cutout wide enough to rest your phone.

Enable Dolby Atmos

If your phone supports Dolby Atmos, enable it to improve the audio output. Here’s how you can go about it.

Step 1: Go to Settings and select Sounds and vibration.

Step 2: Tap on Sound quality and effects.

Step 2: Tap on Sound quality and effects.

Step 3: Turn on the toggle switches for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos for gaming.

Step 3: Turn on the toggle switches for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos for gaming.

You can also enable this feature from the Quick Settings Menu on your Android phone.

Use the Equaliser

If your phone lets you customise the sound equaliser, use it to create a personalised profile that boosts your preferred frequencies. Here’s how you can find the equaliser on your phone.

Step 1: Go to Settings and select Sounds and vibration.

Step 2: Tap on Sound quality and effects.

Set a custom volume limit (Samsung)

Samsung smartphones let you push the volume limit beyond its highest value. Here’s how you can do it.

Step 1: Go to Settings and select Sounds and vibration.

Step 2: Tap on Volume.

Step 3: Hit the ellipses in the top right corner of the screen.

Step 4: Tap on Media volume limit.

Step 5: Turn on the toggle switch and use the slider to set a new custom limit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are there any third-party apps to increase my phone’s volume?

There are several third-party apps that claim to increase your phone’s volume, but they aren’t reliable and may push malware on your device. No app can surpass the ceiling imposed by your phone’s hardware.

How do I make my Android phone’s speaker louder?

To improve the intensity of your phone’s audio output, remove its case and make sure the speaker is clean and unobstructed. Go through its sound settings and turn on Dolby Atmos. You can also try hacks like placing the phone in an empty bowl to create an acoustic chamber around it.

Does my phone have a secondary speaker?

To check if your phone has a secondary speaker, play some music and cover the primary speaker with your finger. If you notice another source of sound (generally from the top of the phone), it means your phone has a secondary speaker.

How do I set a custom volume limit on my Samsung phone?

Go to Settings>Sounds and vibration>Volume, hit the ellipses, select ‘Media volume limit’, turn on its toggle switch, and use the slider to set a new limit.

How do I eject water from my phone’s speaker?

Install the Clear Wave app on your phone and use it to play a sound effect that ejects the water from the speaker grille.

Everything we know about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Ring

Samsung took the wraps off its new wearable, the Galaxy Ring, at the Mobile World Congress, earlier this year. As we approach the second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year, Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy Ring globally. A lot of details have emerged about the health and fitness tracking ring since its showcase at MWC 2024. If you’re thinking of ditching your smartwatch for a much more compact and lighter wearable, you may want to check out what Samsung has in store for you. Here’s everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy Ring.

Samsung Galaxy Ring: Features, Specs, Expected Price

The versatility in size is key to the form factor of a wearable that you’re supposed to put on your finger. Samsung will make the Galaxy Ring available in 8 sizes, ranging from size 5 to size 12. The company may adopt a different labelling pattern for these sizes.

Samsung Galaxy Ring: Features, Specs, Expected Price

What will be interesting to see is if the Galaxy Ring can functionally replace a smartwatch. From what we know so far, the Galaxy Ring will carry an ECG sensor, a SpO2 sensor, and a PPG sensor. If the performance of these sensors is close to Samsung’s 3-in-1 BioActive sensors on its Galaxy smartwatches, the company may have a winner in its hands.

Samsung also has an advantage in terms of app support. The Samsung Health app that caters to the Galaxy smartwatches will also incorporate the Galaxy Ring. A recent APK teardown of the app shed light on the range of features it will offer for the upcoming wearable. These include stress and heart rate measurement, period prediction, snore detection, skin temperature measurement, and more. The ring will offer comprehensive sleep analysis, keeping a record of the user’s movements, heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep latency.

health app

The Samsung Health app will also assign a ‘Vitality’ score to users based on their workouts and sleep performance. It will be interesting to see whether the app will allow you to compare your score with your friends and maintain a leaderboard.

The battery capacity of the ring will depend on its size. The smaller variants will pack a 17mAh battery. The highest-size variants will have a 22mAh battery pack. A midsize 18.5mAh battery unit will cover the middle variants. Samsung claims that the ring can last up to 9 days on a full charge. Recent leaks suggest that the ring will come in a TWS-like charging case.

Samsung Galaxy Ring: Features, Specs, Expected Price

The Samsung Galaxy Ring will be available in three colour options – Silver, Black, and Gold. The company has kept a tight lid on the pricing of the ring so far. Its closest competitor, the Oura Ring, starts at $300 (~ Rs 25,000). Expect the Galaxy Ring to be priced slightly higher than that.

What to expect from the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 6

Samsung’s second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year is set to take place on July 10. This is the event where Samsung unveils its latest line of foldables along with its smartwatch and TWS products. This year, Samsung will also launch its new smart ring at the Galaxy Unpacked II event. However, it is Samsung’s folding smartphones that dominate the headlines this time of the year – and for good reason too. Samsung has been on top of the foldable game for a long time now. With the entry of players like OnePlus and Google in this segment, Samsung will be committed to maintaining its mantle. With that in mind, let’s take a look at what you can expect from the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 6.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

Samsung’s most expensive foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is rumoured to look more like the Galaxy S24 Ultra (our review here), which came out earlier this year. This means the new Fold 6 could rock sharp corners and rounded edges. Reports suggest that Samsung is also working on a dockable S Pen for its new foldable. Other than that, we don’t expect the company to make major changes to the design of the product they’ve spent so many years perfecting. Expect a book-like form factor and a hint of a crease down the middle of the screen.

Online leaks reveal that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display and a 7.6-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display. If these rumours are true, it means that the cover display will be a fraction wider than the previous version. The size of the inner display will remain the same.

So far, not much is known about the camera array on the new Fold 6. This likely means that Samsung will stick with the camera specs of the previous version. The rear camera module of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (our review here) consists of a 50MP primary shooter, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. There are two selfie cameras on the device, a 10MP sensor inside a punch-hole cutout on the cover display and a 4MP under-display camera on the inner display. While there may not be any concrete reports about a camera upgrade, we wouldn’t be surprised if Samsung equips the Fold 6 with the 200MP sensor for the primary camera from the S24 Ultra.

Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will rock the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Samsung will stick with the three storage options that are currently on offer: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. All three variants come with 12GB of RAM. On the software front, Samsung will equip both of its foldables with Android 14/One UI 6. They will get the Galaxy AI suite which includes features like automatic transcription, generative wallpapers, live translation, and more.

Samsung is reportedly planning to introduce a new variant for the Fold series this year. This will likely be a relatively affordable version of the Fold, meant to capture the market share from the likes of the Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open. While not much is known about this variant, it could be along the lines of the ‘FE’ smartphones that Samsung releases for its flagship S Series. If this is the case, the entry-level Fold 6 will be powered by an Exynos chipset and will have slightly curtailed display and camera specs.

Expect new colour options for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 this year. The foldable is expected to be available in 5 paint schemes – Light Pink, Silver Shadow, Crafted Black, White, and Navy Blue. Some of these colour options will be exclusively available on Samsung’s online store.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

 

Next Galaxy Unpacked event is likely to happen on this date: Details leaked
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

Samsung’s compact foldable will rock the same specs under the hood as the Fold 6. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will power the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The foldable will also get the Galaxy AI suite of features.

Last year, Samsung introduced a larger, 3.4-inch Super AMOLED cover display on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 (our review here). This year, the company may increase the size of this display to 3.9 inches. The refresh rate of the cover display could also be increased from 60Hz to 120Hz. However, what we’d really like to see is an expansive functionality for this display. It would be ideal if you could browse every section of the phone on the cover display without having to unfold the device.

Some leaks suggest that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will get a camera in the form of a 50MP primary shooter. It is about that Samsung moved on from the 12MP lens and equipped the smaller foldable with a more powerful primary camera. The ultrawide camera may also get a small boost. The 10MP selfie camera is not expected to get any upgrades.

While the changes to the form factor will be minimal on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, it will carry one important upgrade under the hood. Samsung’s compact foldable is known to struggle with battery backup, so this year, it will finally have a battery pack with a capacity of more than 4,000 mAh. The current-gen Flip 5 has a 3,700 mAh battery unit.

Conclusion

These are all the changes you can expect on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 6. While Samsung has kept a tight lid on the pricing of the two devices, expect them to cost a small premium over their previous-gen counterparts. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 range could start at Rs 1,05,000 while the Fold 6 may fetch Rs 1,60,000. Which price point do you think is justified for the two foldables? Let us know in the comments!

Oppo Reno 12 5G Series India launch date tipped ahead of the official announcement
