Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds review: Ticks all the boxes

Since wireless earphones have become mainstream, very few people want to bother themselves with cables. Naturally, all the major technology companies have come up with their own wireless earbuds in the last few years, and you can also find the product in all price ranges. Recently, Acer launched its Gateway GAHR012 TWS earbuds in India at a price of Rs 3,499. If you have been considering buying these, check out our review of Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds:

Acer Gateway GAHR012 design

The design of Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds is one among its pros. The earbuds as well as their case are White in colour and have a very premium look and feel. The charging case of the earbuds is rectangular in shape but has rounded corners. On the front, there is a button and LED indicators, while on the back, information like the model number is mentioned in a very tiny font in Silver colour. The bottom has the USB Type-C charging port. Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds’ case has a magnetic closure, and obviously this is a good thing as it stops the earphones from falling out of the case. Coming to the earbuds, as we mentioned earlier, they are also White in colour. But they also have some Black coloured accents. Even the ‘R’ and ‘L’ written on the right and the left earbud respectively are Black. Besides this, there are three ear tips that the company has given in the box, so you can choose the one that fits you the best. Another good aspect of the earbuds is that they are very light in weight, and hence, you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable with them even if you wear them for hours at a stretch. Acer Gateway GAHR012 comes with IPX4 rating, which makes them water resistant. The earbuds also come with touch controls, so with a single tap on the earbuds (while they are in use) will play or pause the music or can answer incoming phone calls. Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds 3 Volume can be increased and decreased by pressing and holding the right and the left earbud respectively. Music tracks can also be changed by double-tapping on the earbuds. Double tap the left one to go on a previous track and double tap the right one for the next track. In a nutshell, we would say that Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds are comfortable to wear and premium in looks. We don’t have any complains as far as the design goes.

Acer Gateway GAHR012 performance

Before going on to the performance, we would talk about pairing the earbuds with a smartphone. It was fairly easy to pair the Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds to our device. The Bluetooth of the earbuds turns on the moment you take them out of the case. Then, you can just go to the Bluetooth section of your smartphone and look for ‘GAHR012’. Click on it to pair. However, if you want TWS enabled, then first pair the earbuds together and then pair them with your device. The connection between our smartphone and earbuds remained strong and clear at all times. After pairing the earbuds, even if our smartphone was kept in a different room, the performance wasn’t affected due to the range. Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds 2 The earbuds from Acer come with a 9mm audio driver and support a frequency range of 20Hz to 20KHz. The earbuds also have a latency of 220ms. The sound quality that Gateway GAHR012 earbuds produce is extremely good and the clarity of sound is maintained even at very high volumes. Noise cancellation is another aspect that the earbuds excelled in. Even when we used the earbuds at a rather busy airport, we weren’t disturbed much by the outside noise (besides the loud announcements, of course). Last but not the least, the quality of bass produced by the earbuds was really impressive. Coming to the battery life of the earbuds, they easily last around 4-5 hours on a single charge. Then, you can put them back again in the charging case, and they’ll be fully charged again in 1.5-2 hours. You can do this thrice before charging the case again.

Verdict

At a price of Rs 3,499, Acer Gateway GAHR012 TWS earbuds are a good buy. The earbuds are premium to look at and the performance is great too. The sound clarity is really good and the bass and noise cancellation are pros too. We faced a slight problem because of the touch controls of the earbuds because there were times when we inadvertently paused the music, but then, we’re sure with time users would get more accustomed to it. We see no reason to not recommend it. For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram.

Intel’s upcoming DG2 may give a tough competition to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

The world’s largest semiconductor chip manufacturer (by revenue), Intel may release its new discrete GPU Named Intel DG2. It will be the first consumer gaming-grade GPU designed by the company.

What are the expected features of the Intel DG2?

The Intel DG2 GPU will not only be a significant upgrade over its predecessor DG1. In fact, the DG2 may give a tough competition to the latest NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX series. The Intel DG2 is maybe designed by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) as Intel had earlier revealed that it may outsource the manufacturing of its DG2 GPUs. The Graphics card will comprise TCMC’s 6nm node to deliver a speed of up to 512 execution units and a clock frequency of up to 2.2Ghz.

What is the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070? 

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is designed on a second-generation RTX architecture.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 features an 8GB GDDR6 memory whereas the Intel DG2 is expected to offer a 16GB GDDR6 memory. The graphics card is known for its seamless DLSS AI acceleration. The Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is an image upscaling technology introduced by Nvidia that uses Deep Learning to enhance lower-resolution models to higher-resolution models in real-time.

Can Intel DG2 give tough competition to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070?

Just like NVIDIA, Intel’s DG2 may also come with a 256-bit memory bus The graphics card is may also have a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of about roughly 275W. Intel is reportedly working on its XeSS technology to compete against NVIDIA’s DLSS technology. Currently, a majority of video game developers design their games that support the DLSS AI Acceleration. In future, Intel will have to get the developers on board to design video games supporting the XeSS technology as well.

Sony Interactive Entertainment, a multinational video game and digital entertainment company, is planning to release PlayStation Now in India soon. The company had earlier decided to introduce the service in India in 2020. However, it could not be implemented due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

What Is PlayStation Now?

PlayStation Now is a subscription-based game streaming service developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was initially released in limited in North America in 2014 and gradually reached other regions of the world. The platform offers more than 800 games and new games are added every month. The PlayStation Now comes with a 7-day free trial after the expiry of which you can subscribe to any of the three available pricing options. Regardless of the plan you choose, you get access to single-player as well as multiplayer modes without paying any additional fee for the online multiplayer component.

What is the difference between the PlayStation Now and the Xbox Game Pass?

The PlayStation Now and the Xbox Game Pass are quite similar as both are subscription-based services offering you a plethora of games. Although PlayStation Now was launched before the Xbox Game Pass, the latter has managed to gain much popularity among gamers due to its robust service and reach. The reason for the success of the Xbox Game Pass is its high-quality library and frequent addition of exclusive games. However, PlayStation is also working on the addition of powerful game titles, cost reduction and the introduction of downloads to complement the streaming component.

These include power loss, unsafe removal of a drive, or system crash. System Restore is a process that is opted to restore the file system to a previous snapshot and thus, prevent data loss. When data corruption or an installation failure occurs, the System Restore command takes the file system to a previously saved state so that you do not need to reinstall the Windows again.

When does System Restore become necessary?

The System Restore command is useful when a computer virus damages your system’s file system. When the file system gets corrupted, you face issues in accessing your files and folders. The System Restore feature reinstates a previous image of the file system. Modern malicious programs like Ransomware block the Safe mode. As a result, you cannot restore your file system from the Control Panel. The only way left is to use the Command Prompt.

Google is now widely rolling out Google Lens to Google Photos via desktop Web browsers, to allow copy text from images

Last year Google rolled out AI features for its Google Photos app, which includes allowing users to search for text within the photos as well as screenshots. The Google Lens feature permits the user to copy the text that appears in the photos and paste that text onto a document or a note also known as OCR. Now in a new development, the search giant is extending this feature for Google Photos on desktop Web browsers.  According to a report by 9to5Google the tech major is now making Google Lens available for Google Photos on desktop Web browsers. This will allow users to use the feature to copy the text in the images or screenshots and further paste it into a document or a note file. The functionality used in optical character recognition (OCR) is capable of copying text from any image. The option to copy the text from the image will appear on the left along with other options such as share, edit, zoom and others.  Once you find the photo you’re looking for, click the Lens button to easily copy and paste the text. Earlier this feature was available for the mobile-based app version on Android and iOS both, but now the AI-powered Lens camera identifies the context of a picture. The functionality is now widely rolled out to the desktop web inside Google Photos, too.   As per the publisher, the AI feature does not help people explore their images and memories. When you open an image including words will show up a “Copy text from image” suggestion chip that features the Lens logo as well as the remove button. Tapping on it will enable the Google Lens with the same analysis animation of pulsating dots appearing over the picture for a brief second. Moreover, you can also “Deselect text” from the top-right corner in order to just highlight specific passages and copy with a floating button over the image. Whereas for the mobile platform, you need to tap on the search bar and type the text that you are searching for. For instance, you are looking for a photo that you took some time ago of a name card. All you have to do is type the name in the search bar. When doing so Google will show up the text found within the image then tap on it. Then you need to tap on the Google lens button placed at the bottom of the screen. Now whatever you have searched will appear in a text highlighted in the photo or the screenshot.

Mozilla Firefox will cease to support Amazon’s Fire TV and Echo Show devices on April 30, 2021

Mozilla Corporation, a free software community, recently announced that its free and open-source web browser, Firefox will cease to support the Amazon Echo Fire TV and the Echo Show devices starting from April 30, 2021. According to Mozilla Corporation, “If you have Firefox set as your default browser on Echo Show, you will be redirected to Amazon Silk for web browsing starting April 30, 2021″.

Why does Mozilla want to end its support to the Amazon Fire TV?

Mozilla released its support to the Amazon Fire TV in the backdrop of delisting of YouTuube from all Amazon devices in 2017. Google had stated that the decision was based on the “lack of reciprocity.” At the time, a spokesperson of Google had said, “Amazon doesn’t carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn’t make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest’s latest products.”

What changes will be observed by the Amazon Fire TV users?

Several users of the Amazon Fire TV have received notifications regarding the Firefox browser. According to Amazon, after the end of the support, the Firefox app will be deleted from the Amazon Appstore. As a result, users using the Fire TV will not be able to install Firefox.

Rumours are rife regarding the upcoming iPhone have started to surface as Apple’s launch event is approaching. In the past eight years, the 2020 launch event was the only one without an iPhone. As a result, the speculations regarding the launch of the iPhone 13 may turn into reality.

What are the rumoured features of the iPhone 13?

Design

The design of the iPhone 13 is rumoured to be like that of its predecessor. Moreover, the company may release the smartphone in the same size variants as the iPhone 12. The notch is a peculiar feature of the iPhone. However, in the upcoming smartphone, we may find a much thinner notch.

Display

Apple iPhone 13 may get an always-on display as we find in the Apple Watch. It may always display the time and the remaining battery percentage, and notifications. The smartphone may feature a 120Hz display that would enhance the scrolling and gaming experiences. The display may be designed with LTPO technology to consume minimum power.

Camera

The zoom feature of the iPhone 12 was a major drawback as compared to other premium smartphones like the Samsung S21 Ultra. The iPhone 12 offers an optical zoom of only 2.5x while the latter provides a zooming capability of up to 100x. The iPhone 12 may get an enhanced zoom feature. Moreover, the company is rumoured to be working on an ultrawide-angle lens with a larger aperture.

Touch ID

Touch ID used to be a renowned feature of the iPhone. However, Apple’s iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max feature the Face ID and not the Touch ID. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 13 may get an under-display touch sensor. This will serve as an alternate ID to the FaceID.

The launch of iPhones usually takes place in September. Considering that the launch event takes place on a Tuesday or Wednesday, the iPhone 13 may get released around September 15, 2021.

How much will the iPhone 13 cost?

The price of the iPhone 12 starts at ₹ 67,100 for the Mini version and reaches as high as ₹ 139,900 for the Pro Max version. The iPhone 13 is rumoured to be an improvement over its predecessor. It may just come equipped with features that the iPhone 12 lacked like Touch ID, 120Hz display, and enhanced zoom. Since the iPhone 13 is not expected to be a major upgrade, the price range will not vary much. For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram.
