Design and display of the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
In terms of design, the biggest USP of both devices is the camera module, giving the phone a clean and symmetrical design. Pixel 6 has a distinct graphic and a vibrant appearance, according to the company. The matte black metal band makes it look premium. It is made with a polished metal unibody and transitions into gorgeous curved glass in colours that complement the metallic frames.

According to the company, Google Assistant on Google Tensor uses the most accurate Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) ever released by Google. Users can also use a high-quality ASR model, even for long-running applications such as recorders or tools such as Live Caption, without quickly draining the battery. Google Tensor also enables Live Translate to work on media like videos using on-device speech and translation models. It will allow users to translate directly in the chat application, meaning no more cutting and pasting text into the Google Translate web service.
The devices are the first to run Android 12 out of the box. It includes the next-generation Titan M2TM, which works with the Tensor security core to protect your sensitive user data, PINs, and passwords.

According to the Mountain View company, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have the most advanced cameras. Both the phones have a new 1/1.3 inch sensor on their rear. The primary sensor is said to capture up to 150% more light (compared to the Pixel 5’s primary camera), meaning you’re going to get photos and videos with even greater detail and richer colour.

The feature is capable of detecting distractions in your photos, like people in the background, power lines, and power poles, and suggesting what you might want to remove. Then, you can choose whether to erase them all at once or tap to remove them one by one. In addition to this, the Magic Eraser can figure out what you’re trying to remove based on what you circle, so you don’t have to spend time worrying about precise brushing.

What is HDR
As mentioned above HDR is High Dynamic Range. Dynamic range in photography terms means the difference in the lightest and darkest elements of an image. When you turn on the HDR mode in any device, it increases the dynamic range beyond the actual capture. This helps create a more accurate and close to a real representation of what we actually see. Especially helpful when we click images of some landscape where brightening and better details are required. Yes, it’s true that it enhances the image, but HDR mode is not suitable for every situation. A prime example of it is taking a direct photograph of a scene with bright colours. HDR will gradually increase the light making the image look unnatural. Now the next question is what happens behind the scenes when you press the shutter button with HDR on.

When to / When not to use HDR
When to
- Landscapes – The outdoors especially in bright sunlight can cause way too much contrast, use HDR to reduce it and increase the blacks to balance it out.
- Dim/dark light – As the process is software-based the HDR mode will try to compensate with the darker amount by adding some light to balance the whites in the photo, you might not see a drastic difference but a noticeable one.
- Sharper image – Use HDR mode to get sharper images as the process captures multiple photos more details are covered in this mode.
When not to
- High contrast scene – When you are trying to capture a high contrast scene avoid using HDR as it will try to balance light making the image less vivid.
- Moving object – As multiple images are captured during HDR mode a moving object can create distortion in the final result.
- Vivid scenes – When in vivid surroundings the HDR mode will extra enhance the colours making the picture look unnatural, though it can be something a user likes and it completely depends on the individual’s taste.
How to enable HDR
Almost all phones nowadays have HDR mode built-in in their camera application. If you are still not satisfied, there are tons of applications available in Google PlayStore. Here is how you can turn it on. Step 1 – Fire up the camera application on your Android smartphone.
You will spot an HDR icon on the first screen itself, tap on it to enable HDR mode (OnePlus phone used for the above reference). If you do not find it on the first screen, follow the next steps.
Step 2 – Head to the camera setting to find the HDR option.
Step 3 – Toggle it on to enable HDR mode. (Samsung’s OneUI used for reference)
This is a complete guide of what HDR is and the best way to use HDR mode to take photos on your Android smartphone. Hope this helps you take good pictures and clarifies all the doubts regarding HDR you had.

Design
The new AirPods 3 has a design close to the Pro variant but without the silicon tip. The narrower round ear tip can be seen as compared to the prevision gen. Just like the AirPod Pro, the third generation is also sweat and water-resistant making it a good option for those who use these earphones during workouts or in bad weather conditions. We can also see a significant change in the design of the case for the 3rd gen. It looks a lot similar to the Pro counterpart as compared to the previous-gen. The newer version now supports MagSafe wireless charging so that is a big change as well. The stem of the 3rd gen AirPods is quite smaller, similar to AirPods pro. With a smaller stem, there is no compromise with the battery on board. They also have a new Force touch sensor, which enables you to control your entertainment as well as activate Siri. As the AirPods Pro have silicon tips, they are interchangeable according to your fit, but that’s not the case with 3rd gen AirPods.

The top of the earphone’s line by the company, Apple AirPods Pro gets active noise cancellation on board along with transparency mode to hear important noise and sounds around you. Not all but there are few features that these new TWS inherit are Spatial sound and Adaptive EQ.
Spatial sound gives a surround sound feeling to users and when paired with Dolby Atmos support that the company recently added, gives an immersive experience. Adaptive EQ adjusts the sound of the music or multimedia according to the fit of the earphones to compensate for the loss of audio if any.
Battery
The next-gen has a longer battery life as compared to the predecessor. Not only that it is a significant improvement over the Pro counterpart as well. Both, the 3rd gen AirPods and AirPods Pro, are powered by an H1 chip so we can expect similar performance.
Apple claims that these new earphones will last for 6 hours on a single charge and up to 5 hours with spatial audio enabled. Along with that users can expect 4 hours of talk time and the charging case should provide up to 30 hours (4 full charges) of listening time.
Talking about the AirPods Pro in comparison, according to Apple it should last 4.5 hours on a single charge and 5 hours of active noise cancellation and transparency mode is disabled. They offer 3.5 hours of talk time and the case provides 24 hours (near to 3 full charges) of total listening time.

Logitech MX Anywhere 3 review: Design
Right of the bat, you will find the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 to be one of the best-looking wireless mice out there. We have been using the MX Anywhere series in the team since the first version. And with every new edition, we feel that the company will only give a little bit of an upgrade. But to our amazement, they have been bringing some solid changes in both looks and performance sectors. Compared to the first version, you will see a lot of changes on the exterior shell, but over the second version, not so much at least in the contour and curves department. What has changed from the last series is the rubberised side gripping, which works for us. We reviewed the silver-grey variant and quite liked the outlook. Other colours available are pink and white.
The Logi branding can be found on the top as well and really suave silver metallic scroll wheel. More about it in the performance section. Here you will also find the mode shift key that can switch the scroll wheel from ratchet to smooth free-spin mode.
Twin forward and back buttons can be found on the left side and are well within reach. Below you will get vertically placed glider footings. These work really well, irrespective of the surface. The power key and the device selection button can also be found here. The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is lighter than the previous edition and weighs 99 grams. The connectivity port has also been upgraded. Now you get USB Type-C port instead of the micro-USB port.
