Redmi Note 12 Pro Review: Powerful performance at a reasonable price

Redmi kicked off the proceedings early this year, releasing its Note series in the first week of January. While the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ gathered all the headlines for its exquisite 200MP primary camera, Redmi has also launched a Pro and non-Pro version of the Note alongside it. The Note 12 Pro has the specs to match the performance of its Pro+ counterpart and comes at a slightly more affordable price. We got our hands on the smartphone before the release and have been using it as our primary driver for more than a week. So, without further ado, here is our Redmi Note 12 Pro review.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Design and Display

Inside the box, you get the Note 12 Pro handset, a clear plastic case, a SIM ejector tool, a quick start guide, USB Type C charging cable, and a 67W power adapter. The Note 12 Pro+ comes with a 120W charging brick. There are three colour options available for the Note 12 Pro – Stardust Purple, Glacier Blue, and Onyx Black. We used the Glacier Blue version for this review.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Design and Display

In terms of design, Redmi has kept things quite simple. The shiny glass back has a smooth texture to it but can be a bit of a fingerprint magnet. You may want to keep a microfiber cloth handy for this one. 

The back panel and the edges are completely flat, unlike the slightly curved back design of the Pro+. The camera island is made out of the same material as the rest of the back panel. The materials used here give the smartphone a premium feel, something that will surely set it apart from its midrange peers.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Design and Display

At the top of the frame, you will find the 3.5mm headphone jack, secondary speaker and microphone, and an IR blaster. The bottom of the smartphone houses the SIM card tray, the USB port, and the speaker grill. The right side of the frame holds the volume rocker keys and the power key that also doubles as the fingerprint sensor. There are no additions on the left side of the frame.

Moving on, the 6.67-inch OLED display has a screen-to-body ratio of 86.7%, 395ppi pixel density, and a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. The bezels are slim but noticeable, without turning to be too much of a distraction. The selfie camera is housed in a punch-hole cutout at the centre of the screen. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 which is quite adequate, but you will need a case for added protection for the back. The phone is rated IP53, which is an additional benefit for smartphones in this range.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Design and Display

The 120Hz refresh rate produces a stellar touch response rate. The smartphone is set to adaptive refresh rate settings out of the box, but it can later be switched to 120Hz from the settings. There is no option for a 90Hz refresh rate, so if you want to save battery you will have to switch back to 60Hz. Brightness has been capped at 900 nits, which is optimum for using the smartphone outdoors in direct sunlight as well as indoors. The OLED display does a good job of presenting well-balanced images and colours while streaming HD content. The audio output is helped by the stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos surround.

One thing we found pretty helpful was the video toolbox which can be accessed by swiping right from the edge of the screen. This toolbox gives you quick access to the screen recording, screenshot, and screencasting options. You can also choose to turn the screen off while the video plays in the background, something that will come in quite handy while listening to music on YouTube. You can also apply different video filters and toggle the Dolby Atmos surround from this toolbox.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Performance and Cameras

The Redmi Note 12 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC with Mali -G86 MC4 handling the graphics. The phone comes in three storage and RAM options – 128GB + 6GB, 128GB + 8GB, and 256GB + 8GB which we used for this review. Unlike its predecessor, there is no expandable memory option on the Redmi Note 12 Pro. OS duties are handled by Android 12 with MIUI 13 on top. The smartphone will be receiving the Android 13 update soon. Like all Redmi phones, there is a significant amount of bloatware on the Note 12 Pro. We’d suggest clearing all the bloatware apps before using the phone or the unnecessary notifications may hamper your experience with this device.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Performance and Cameras

Bloatware aside, we were quite pleased with the performance delivered by the Note 12 Pro. The apps took minimal time to load, even with multiple tasks running in the background. While Xiaomi loyalists may be used to the software, new users may take some time to adapt to the notification slider and the quick toolbar. Xiaomi has promised two years of software updates along with four years of security patches for the Redmi Note 12 Pro.

We played Call of Duty and Garena Free Fire Max at the highest graphics and did not have any complaints about the smartphone’s performance. There were no frame drops or stutters and while the processor was firing on all cylinders, the phone did not overheat after 30-40 mins of gaming. The ‘Game Turbo’ toolbar offers helpful features like voice changer, timer, screen recorder, screencast and more while gaming. You can also view the performance metrics with just one quick swipe.

On the Geekbench 5 test, the Redmi Note 12 Pro achieved a single-core score of 757 and a multi-core score of 2258 points. These scores place it with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, Xiaomi Poco F3, and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. 

Geekbench Test

The Redmi Note 12 Pro received a 5,000mAh battery which is more than enough to last an entire day. With moderate to heavy daily usage which included browsing social media, watching multiple hours of content, and about an hour of gaming, the smartphone got us through the day with about 25-30% charge to spare. The 67W charger replenishes the battery from 10-50% in under 20 minutes, with a full charge taking up to 50 minutes.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Performance and Cameras

Moving on to the camera, the Redmi Note 12 Pro (as mentioned earlier) may not boast a 200MP primary sensor like its Pro+ counterpart, but it definitely doesn’t deserve to be completely written off. In daylight conditions, the 50MP primary sensor delivered a great performance. The image stabilisation was on point with OIS and the smartphone processed the images nicely to produce well-balanced, vivid images. The colours were close to real life, without any unnecessary overprocessing.

As you can see in the images below, the colour tones when it comes to the day sky are very close to real. The processor also makes sound choices in treating the objects depending on the amount of natural light hitting them. The objects in shadowy areas are balanced out pretty well. The overall contrast is pleasing to the eye and you won’t have to work too much to find the ideal shot. We were also pleased by the minimal drop-off in colour when taking pictures with the ultrawide lens.

Redmi Note 12 Pro review: Performance and Cameras

Ultrawide Lens

Edge detection in portrait mode was satisfactory, but what we found really impressive was the range of details captured. The colours truly ‘popped’ in this mode and the resulting images were processed to near perfection. The night mode also produced decent results with optimum illumination and noise reduction. The only minor complaint we have is with the 16MP selfie camera which continues the Xiaomi tradition of brightening the skin tone of the subject. We also feel it could have performed better results in limited lighting conditions.

Verdict

The Redmi Note 12 Pro goes on sale tomorrow with a price tag of Rs 24,999. While it may miss out on the 200MP primary sensor of the Pro+ variant, it still is a brilliant camera smartphone with a processor that can easily handle any task you throw at it. While the Note 12 Pro+ is priced at Rs 29,999, the Note 12 Pro would make a great value-for-money option in this lineup.

Pros

Great display

Brilliant camera unit

Fast charging

Cons

Back design looks a bit too simple

Can attract a lot of fingerprints

Bloatware

6 Easy Ways to Loop YouTube Videos on Android and iOS

6 Easy Ways to Loop YouTube Videos on Android and iOS

Playing a song or video on repeat may be a pretty basic function on every music streaming app, but YouTube has always had its reservations when it comes to implementing this feature. This is because YouTube generates its revenue primarily through ads. Every page refresh reloads the ads on the video as well but simply looping the video from the website’s media player does not achieve that. It took YouTube years to first introduce looping videos for its desktop site, and the feature only recently made its way to the mobile app. So, without further ado, here are 6 easy ways to loop YouTube videos on Android and iOS.

Here’s how you can use the loop feature on the YouTube app

Step 1: Go to the video on YouTube.

Step 2: Tap the Settings icon on the top right corner of the video window.

Use a third-party app

Before YouTube introduced the loop videos feature for its app, users had no choice but to download a third-party app if they wanted to listen to a song on repeat. If you’re using an older version of the YouTube app and dont want to update it, this may still be a good option for you. The ‘Listen On Repeat’ app was created for the sole purpose of listening to music on YouTube on repeat. Not only can you loop YouTube videos using this app, but it also automatically saves your recent repeats.

Use a Chrome extension

Use a Chrome extension

The ‘Looper for YouTube‘ Chrome extension is designed to carry out the simple task of putting a YouTube video on repeat. This extension works on the desktop version of Chrome as well as Chromium-based mobile web browsers. Using this extension, you can set the number of times you want a video to repeat. You can also loop a portion of the video. It places the loop icon right below the YouTube player, making it convenient to loop any video.

Use LoopTube

Use LoopTube

LoopTube is a third-party website that lets you play any YouTube video on repeat for as long as you want. All you need to do is paste the URL of the YouTube video in the box and hit play. LoopTube also offers a very handy notes section where you can jot down your takeaways from the video. This is super helpful on occasions when you’re watching online lectures and need to take quick notes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I play a YouTube video on repeat on Android?

Launch a YouTube video, hit the settings icon, and turn on ‘Loop Video’ to play the video on repeat on the YouTube app.

How do I play a YouTube video on repeat on the website?

To play a YouTube video on repeat, simply right-click on the video player (if you’re on PC) or long-press it (if you’re on mobile) and select ‘Loop’.

How can I get a dedicated loop button on the YouTube player?

The Looper for YouTube Chrome extension adds a loop/repeat icon right below the YouTube player, allowing you to easily put any video on repeat.

Three Android Data Recovery Solutions to Make Android Data Recovery Without Rooting 2023

Are you looking for Android data recovery without root? It is quite common to accidentally delete your important videos or favourite photos from your Android phone. However, retrieving deleted Android data without root access is quite challenging as you don’t have the administrative rights to install an app for data recovery. But by far, it is not impossible. This blog will share the best Android data recovery software with steps to make Android file recovery without root access.

FAQs About Android Data Recovery Without Rooting

1.    Is It Possible to Retrieve Deleted Android Data Without Root?

Yes, it’s possible to make an Android file recovery with Android smartphones without root access. There is a plethora of reliable Android data recovery software available in the market that can recover data from Android devices without needing root access to work.

2.    Can I Recover Deleted Videos From an Unrooted Android by Myself?

Yes, you can easily retrieve deleted Android data without root access. But only if you pick a credible Android data recovery software to work with. You can not only get your videos and photos back but can also recover WhatsApp Business files and WeChat contacts and messages from your unrooted Huawei or Xiaomi device.

When You Need to Recover Android Data

Rooting access to your phone permits you to modify everything in its operating system. In the past, rooting an Android phone was the key to saving wasted resources like battery life by restricting or allowing permissions for apps to work.

As Android runs on Linux Kernel, it has the ability to give users root access. Moreover, rooting allows users to resolve issues or remove pre-installed apps on their Android phones. But, with evolving technology, Android devices now don’t require rooting access as they used to do before. Therefore, they either provide limited privileges or don’t offer permissions for installing apps or customizing their phone’s appearance on a deeper system level. It’s better in a way because having no root access means your phone’s integrity will remain safe.

But an unrooted device raises a problem when you want to recover data from your Android phone. That’s where you’ll need professional video and photo recovery software that can provide data recovery or restore data in an Android phone that has no root access.

Three Android Data Recovery Solutions Without Root You Must Explore

EZVIZ launched its first Outdoor Pan and Tilt Camera in India

EZVIZ launched its first Outdoor Pan and Tilt Camera in India

The all-new EZVIZ C8C, an “Outdoor Pan/Tilt Camera” with special capabilities, has been unveiled by EZVIZ. The C8C was developed to answer challenges in outside surveillance and protection and delivers amazing features like panoramic monitoring, AI-powered human shape detection, colour night vision, and event-triggered active defence. The CCTV camera also comes with 3-night vision modes.

The EZVIZ C8C’s attractive orb design and small size allow it to fit in any space of the house as well as retail establishments. The camera can easily catch views of large outdoor regions where other conventional outdoor cameras cannot due to its 360-degree field of vision. A single outdoor Pan Tilt camera can monitor a vast area from multiple angles, making it a more cost-effective investment than the multi-camera setups that many families still employ to accomplish the same goal.

Like all other EZVIZ products, the C8C enables straightforward control, live monitoring, and video playback via the free EZVIZ app. All videos are captured in 1080p high quality and are effectively compressed using the H.265 standard. Users have the choice of joining up for EZVIZ’s CloudPlay, which offers a free trial period of up to 30 days, or using the camera’s built-in micro-SD card to record video locally.

The EZVIZ C8C also features a noise-cancelling microphone. Users may easily control the C8C using the EZVIZ App on their smartphone to see and hear what’s going on. The C8C also comes with two external antennas for better Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, it features a weatherproof enclosure, which enables it to keep working well even in adverse weather situations like wind, rain, or snow.

It contains two built-in lamps and a full-color night vision mode. The EZVIZ C8C produces bright images even at night by lighting the surroundings.

The Full Color night vision mode is illuminated and brilliantly restored to full colour owing to two built-in spotlights and professional optical lenses.

The EZVIZ C8C comes with 3-night vision modes. When you don’t need additional lighting, you can use the EZVIZ App to turn the camera to black and white night vision and still see up to 30 metres (100 feet) away. The third is a smart night vision mode that, when motion is detected, converts the video display from monochrome to full colour.

In order to provide an active defence system while reducing false or unnecessary notifications, EZVIZ has sought solutions. To do this, EZVIZ put its smart human motion detection AI algorithm inside the C8C camera, allowing it to recognise and distinguish human shapes specifically rather than providing warnings on moving vehicles, animals, insects, leaves, or even house curtains. When intruders access the premises, notifications will be sent to users’ mobile devices, and a strobe light will switch on as a deterrent.

The cost of the EZVIZ C8C Outdoor Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Camera is Rs. 6999. It will be offered in offline stores all over India and on Amazon. in

WhatsApp users will soon be able to save disappearing chats as “Kept Messages”

WhatsApp users will soon be able to save disappearing chats as “Kept Messages”

For an upcoming software update, WhatsApp is developing a bookmark icon to show which messages have been saved. According to reports, the messaging platform is working on this feature namely Kept Messages. It is revealed that a kept message has a unique visual clue to distinguish it from other chats. All users will still be able to see the kept messages even after their expiration date because they won’t be immediately removed from the chat. The chats will be removed for all if a user chooses to un-keep them at any point.

A kept message is what? It is a disappearing message that has been momentarily saved, so it will not be immediately removed from the chat and is still visible to everyone participating in the conversation. The message can still be “un-kept” at any moment, in which case it will permanently vanish from the chat, but users still have control over the chat.

Users can recognise a kept message in WhatsApp by looking for the bookmark icon, which shows in the message bubble of disappearing messages, according to a screenshot posted by WABetaInfo. Even if the disappearing messages feature is enabled and the message has already expired, this icon acts as a visual cue that the message has been “kept” and will not be removed from the chat. Users may quickly differentiate between messages that are kept and those that completely disappear from the chat thanks to this functionality. It’s important to remember that everyone in the chat has the ability to remove these messages at any time.

In addition, WhatsApp is presently developing a chat transfer capability for an upcoming app version. According to rumours, WhatsApp is working on a new feature called “Chat Transfer” that will enable users to transfer data from one Android device to another, making switching between devices easier without having to update the cloud backup.

WhatsApp is reportedly working on the procedure to transfer the chat history to a new Android device. As the functionality is still being developed, the new function will be added in a future version.

Konkoni Sota - World’s fastest 3D printer

Slow printing speed is one of the factors keeping 3D printers from becoming more commonplace. This may be for long though, as we saw a hyper-fast 3D printer make its debut at the CES 2023. With a maximum printing speed of 600mm/s and acceleration of 21,000mm/s2, the Konkani Sota is the world’s fastest 3D printer.  The inverted design implemented on this printer brings exceptional stability with minimal vibration. This also makes the Sota one of the quietest 3D printers around, with less than 30 decibels of printing sound.

Unlike traditional projectors, you dont need to place The Premiere at a distance from the screen. Simply place the projector box a few inches from the screen at a suitable height, and it will project impeccable images with the help of its specially designed lenses.

Your backup won’t need to be updated if you use WhatsApp’s new capability to switch to a different device: Report

Your backup won’t need to be updated if you use WhatsApp’s new capability to switch to a different device: Report

WhatsApp is currently working on a chat transfer feature, for a future update of the app. According to reports, WhatsApp is developing a new feature dubbed “Chat Transfer” that will let users transfer data from an Android device to another, therefore, making it simpler for users to swap devices without the need for updating the backup on the cloud.

According to a report by WAbetaInfo, WhatsApp is working on the process to move the chat history to a new Android device, for a future update of the app! The new function will be added in a later update as the feature is still being developed.

Your backup won't need to be updated if you use WhatsApp's new capability to switch to a different device: Report

The option will make it simple to migrate their chat history from the phone to another Android device in the future and may eliminate the need for users to back up their chat history on Google Drive before switching to a new device, according to screenshots shared by WAbetaInfo. The option will be visible within WhatsApp Settings > Chats. In the future, they could just move all of their discussions to their new phone using the new chat transfer feature.

Although you can easily move your conversation history to a new phone with the help of this function, it’s still advisable to routinely backup your talks to Google Drive so that you can still access them in case your phone is damaged. However, we believe that the conversation transfer option could be especially helpful for swiftly switching to a new Android phone without the need to update the cloud backup.

The chat transfer feature for Android smartphones is still in development, but WABetaInfo freshly reported that WhatsApp is actively working to further expand and improve upon it as a result of learning more about its capabilities from the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.1.26 update.

Your backup won't need to be updated if you use WhatsApp's new capability to switch to a different device: Report

In another screenshot shared in the report, the method is simple and starts with downloading WhatsApp on the new Android handset. In order to start the chat history migration to the new Android device, we should open WhatsApp on the new phone and scan the QR code that is provided. This feature, which streamlines the procedure and enables a quicker migration, will, in our opinion, offer a practical and effective alternative for anyone looking to transfer their chat history to a new Android phone without first backing up their chats and material on Google Drive.

As you are aware a feature that allows users to finally transfer to a different phone without losing their chat history was made available by WhatsApp in July: the ability to convert talks from Android to iOS using the Move to iOS app.

Google Pixel Buds Pro Review: Highest Quality TWS

Google Pixel Buds Pro Review: Highest Quality TWS

A number of flagship devices were introduced by Google at its Made by Google event. We got to see a few brand-new Pixel gadgets as well as the Google Pixel Buds Pro wireless earbuds. We shall discuss this device in-depth in this comprehensive review. The overall listening experience is improved by the 11 mm speaker drivers and Volume EQ that are included. There is a transparency mode in addition to the noise cancellation functions. So read the entire Pixel Buds Pro review to learn about even more incredible and cutting-edge features that come with the flagship TWS.

Google Pixel Buds Pro Review: Design

So let’s begin with the physical features, such as build quality and appearance. The buds and a few additional tips are included in the box. They arrive in a cute little case with two tips, one of which is already fitted. With the other tips, we didn’t actually need to use them because the default one was fine for us. The build quality is not an issue because the casing is fairly comparable to the ordinary Pixel Buds and is constructed of decent-grade plastic yet again. These are fairly small and will fit in your pocket with ease.

Google Pixel Buds Pro Review: Design

We appreciated the fact that the case also has a physical pairing button and that, fortunately, can link with two devices at once. The fact that many higher-quality TWS don’t offer this feature, makes these an exception.

Even though the case is attractive and has a design like a pebble, it locks in well. The Buds Pro form differs somewhat from that of conventional Pixel Buds. These are larger and have an in-ear detection sensor, so when you take them out, they automatically recognise you have removed them and the music pauses.

Also Read: Pixel 7 Pro Review: Why you should get the phone

The construction quality is also excellent. These are essentially touch-capacitive buttons; in fact, you can control a whole bunch of features with them, which we’ll be talking about later. The Buds Pro are a little bit bigger, which makes them less comfortable when worn for longer durations. These are comfortable to wear for 40 to 45 minutes, after which we had to adjust them because they continued to apply pressure on our ears.

Google Pixel Buds Pro Review: Design

You may be aware that we always receive extra ear tips with our headphones, but Google has now developed a feature for the Pixel buds that allows you to determine which one suits you the best and offers the finest noise cancellation. Therefore, if you swipe down on the notification panel, click and hold on Bluetooth, and then see your Pixel Buds pro, you can verify the ear tip seal in the settings. 

 

review of Google Pixel Buds Pro

review of Google Pixel Buds Pro

Naturally, you will put in your earbuds, and when you tap Start, a test song will begin to play. After the test, it will inform you whether you need to change your ear tips, or whether the fit is perfect and your noise cancellation will work great. ANC can be activated on your phone or by tapping and holding your the Buds Pro. The Transparency mode uses the microphone in your earbuds to take up all the various sounds around you so you can still hear them while wearing your headphones. This mode can also be used to relieve any pressure that has built in your ears, which is pretty darn cool.

Google Pixel Buds Pro Review: Performance

In this case, while describing the Bluetooth range, we would say that it is respectable but not exceptional. When you are in a room, everything works perfectly. When we moved to another room, everything worked again. But when we got to the balcony (2 rooms away), which is almost outside the range of the buds, everything stopped working. The Bluetooth range is therefore adequate, albeit currently among the finest we have observed.

We watched some Netflix shows, as well as Big Boss on Voot and YouTube videos, all without experiencing any lag. But there was a minor lag when it came to games.

The Pixel Buds Pro was put to use with a variety of phones, including the Pixel 7 Pro. Any Android phone can download the Pixel Buds software from the Google Play Store, but the Pixel phone already has it pre-installed. The user interface is quite straightforward; all you have to do is open it to learn how long each earbuds and case’s battery will last.

You also get some basic touch controls, which we really liked because they let you play, pause, and do other simple things. However, one feature we really liked on these earbuds—and many premium TWS have—is that you can also control the volume with them. Therefore, we rarely had to use our smartphone when wearing these earbuds because you can simply boost and reduce the volume with just a swipe, and it works incredibly well.

Additionally, the left bud can be customised. For example, you can set active noise cancellation or switch to transparency mode. You can personalise it in the app to assist you with your needs. In terms of audio, basic features in the app. It does have a volume equaliser, which marginally improved the equalisation.

The Pixel Buds Pro have active noise cancellation (ANC), which is a new and significant feature compared to the normal models. The ANC is good, and we tried it extensively; it provides rather effective noise cancellation so that music listening is more immersive, but it does not totally shut out outside traffic or other extreme external noises.

For calls, the microphone quality is once more excellent. The opposite side made no claims about their inability to hear us or similar. In that regard, it is decent and it does help to reduce background noise a little bit.

review of Google Pixel Buds Pro

Okay, so connecting your Pixel Buds Pro to your phone, another phone, or even your laptop at the same time is surprisingly simple. You’ll get a pop-up message to pair them as soon as you open the lid, but the cool thing is that if you open the lid and turn them around, then click and hold on the back button for a few seconds until you see the front light flashing, you can actually connect them to another device. Simply ensure that multi-point is enabled in settings, and then you can connect your buds to several devices.

Google Pixel Buds Pro performance

What if you misplace one of your Pixel Buds Pro? So, if you ever lose your device, here are two ways to locate it. The first method is to go into app settings and look for the ‘Find Device’ option if you have lost them anywhere close and they are still connected to your phone. If you tap on that, you’ll be given the option of ringing the left, right, or both buds. As you search for them, the volume steadily increases.

But what if they aren’t connected to your phone anymore? Then the second way is to open the Google Find My Device app, select your Buds, and then view the precise time and location of their most recent connection to your phone. So that’s how your phone locates your Pixel Buds Pro.

Google Pixel Buds Pro performance

Regarding the sound quality, we would describe it as wide and engulfing, which is excellent but could have been just a tiny bit better. These clearly increase the bass by default, even when the volume eq is turned off. And since the majority of you will undoubtedly enjoy that setting, we have to say the bass is excellent. Moving on to the vocals, these are also very well-produced and crystal-clear. Now coming to the  treble tones, we thought that the default sound signature, given the price range, was a little underwhelming.

Because of the EQ boosting, the higher tones now sound a little bit better and have the brilliance that was before lacking, but it also amplifies the bass, which is already on the high side. So, for some it maybe a catch-22 situation.

Google Pixel Buds Pro performance

We are quite happy with these in terms of battery life. The Google Pixel Buds Pro boasts a 7-hour battery life when using ANC, which is an improvement over the typical 5-hour lifespan of any premium TWS. It can continue for almost 11 hours if you disable ANC. 

Verdict

As a result, for everyday use—including when watching movies on smartphones—we had no problems. The case contains a wireless charging connector in addition to two USB charging ports. Besides good sound, the finest feature of the TWS is that you can easily adjust the volume with a swipe. We believe that every premium TWS should have this feature because it genuinely performed so well. It is excellent in terms of customization as well. In our honest view, the ANC is good but not among the finest.

While claiming that the battery life is undoubtedly among the greatest in its category. The majority of you will actually appreciate that good bass vibe while listening to music. Additionally, even at this price point, two devices being connected is uncommon.

Google Pixel Buds Pro pros

  • Comfortable
  • Long Battery life
  • Good Sound
  • Can adjust volume
  • Allows customization
  • Good bass

Google Pixel Buds Pro cons 

  • lacking proper equalizer adjustments
  • non-customization of ANC
  • works only with Android devices

BMW unveils the i Vision Dee concept at CES 2023

CES has been buzzing with EV announcements this year. While Sony and Honda announced their collaborative EV project ‘Afeela’, BMW unveiled its new concept EV ‘i Vision Dee’ which packs a lot of groundbreaking features. ‘Dee’ stands for ‘Digital emotional experience’, the digital companion within the EV that offers way more than other voice assistants.

BMW i Vision Dee: Changing colours, hyper-real tech, and more

The BMW i Vision Dee takes customisation to a whole new level with its 240 e-Ink panels. These panels are capable of changing the colour of the body surface of the EV within seconds. Not only that, you can program each e-Ink panel individually to display different patterns on the exterior body surface. This tech was featured in the BMW iX Flow at CES 2022 but has been fully utilised in the i Vision Dee. 

BMW i Vision DEE

The i Vision Dee features the classic BMW three-box sedan design. It also gets signature BMW elements like the kidney grille, twin circular headlights and the Hofmeister kink. These elements have been reimagined to fit a more futuristic vibe. The analogue parts have been replaced by phygital icons. 

Moving on, the most interesting feature of this concept EV is its digital personality, the Dee. This drive assistant can adapt to the driver’s habits, suggest destinations, and provides information, news, calendar entries and more. The BMW Mixed Reality Slider can be used to customise the Head-Up display and display content in five different levels – analogue, driving-related information, communication system content, augmented reality projection, and VR. This feature will be used in NEUE KLASSE models from 2025 onwards.

BMW i Vision Dee

As the name suggests, the Dee is also capable of displaying emotional intelligence, as it uses cameras and sensors to identify the rider as they approach the car. Once the identity of the rider is confirmed, Dee can automatically open up the doors and display a welcome graphic on the shut-off kidney grille at the front. The grille is also capable of displaying up to nine different facial expressions – from joy to approval to amazement. 

In his keynote address at CES 2023, Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, mentioned, “With the BMW i Vision Dee, we are showcasing what is possible when hardware and software merge. In this way, we are able to exploit the full potential of digitalisation to transform the car into an intelligent companion. That is the future for automotive manufacturers – and, also, for BMW: the fusion of the virtual experience with genuine driving pleasure.”

Additionally, Zigbee and Thread devices can now be connected and controlled by SmartThings users without the need for a separate SmartThings dongle. The SmartThings Zigbee & Matter Thread One-Chip Module will be integrated directly into Samsung goods starting in 2023. Additionally, SmartThings automatically syncs devices for simpler control of not just Samsung devices but also third-party appliances and IoT device1 for seamless connectivity for the best-connected device experience.

MICRO LED and Samsung OLED

With new models in the 2023 MICRO LED lineup, users will have a wide range of options for unmatched picture quality and screen experience. These models range in size from 50 to 140 inches2. Due to its modular design, MICRO LED can be totally customised to meet a customer’s preferred setup because it is not constrained by shape, ratio, or size. Additionally, it comes without bezels, ensuring that no matter the configuration, there is no break between the screen and the outside world.

Quantum Dot technology and Neural Quantum Processors are included in Samsung’s most recent OLED lineup in order to maintain the core benefits of OLED technology while simultaneously addressing its current brightness and colour representation limitations. Quantum Dot technology was created for Samsung’s Neo QLEDs.

A 144Hz refresh rate and all of Samsung’s smart features, including Samsung Gaming Hub, are included in the extended lineup. The best OLED gaming experience is provided by Samsung OLED TVs, which have AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro certification for the first time on an OLED TV.

Finally, Samsung offers Samsung TV Plus on all of its Smart TV models to increase viewing possibilities. The free ad-supported TV (FAST) and video-on-demand service reach 24 countries and 465 million devices globally across the company’s TV and mobile devices, providing over 1,800 channels worldwide, including over 50 owned & operated channels. There are no downloads, subscriptions, or other devices needed, and it is completely free.

Samsung Gaming Hub

Users can access thousands of their favourite games from partners including Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, and Utomik without downloads, storage restrictions, or consoles thanks to the Samsung Gaming Hub, the new home for gaming on Samsung Smart TVs. Furthermore, it offers the easiest gaming interface, allowing users to start playing as soon as their TVs are turned on.

Upgrades to GameBar 3.0 in 2023 such as MiniMap Sharing and Virtual Aim Point will improve the gaming experience for all types of players. While Virtual Aim Point, created for first-person shooters (FPS), allows players to view more apparent crosshairs in any game so they can make the ideal shot, MiniMap Sharing enables players to see the minimap of their game at-a-glance on any device.

The Odyssey range of Samsung smart monitors and gaming panels, among others, all have the Samsung Gaming Hub. In order to play immersive games with a 55-inch 1000R curved screen and great sound, gamers can tilt their screens vertically or horizontally using Odyssey Ark.

GIGABYTE announced AORUS 15X, AORUS 17X with 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs and RTX 40 series GPUs at CES 2023

Under the gaming-focused AORUS brand, GIGABYTE unveiled its newest laptops.
