AI DJ tool added to Spotify: Deets inside
The introduction of AI-DJ has been announced by Spotify. Users will be able to get automatically generated playlists based on their listening interests, tastes, and history thanks to a recently introduced artificial intelligence-powered functionality. “We’re building on that innovation by harnessing the power of AI in an entirely new way. And today, we’re excited to share that we’re taking our personalization to a whole new level with DJ,” the company said via blog post. An AI-DJ capability will soon be available on Spotify. According to the company, the feature is presently accessible on Spotify‘s beta apps for iOS and Android. The DJ is a customised AI companion that is so familiar with you and your musical preferences that it can choose the music to play for you. This feature will give a carefully selected playlist of music combined with commentary about the songs and artists we believe you’ll enjoy in a beautifully realistic voice. Also Read: Spotify launched New Year’s Hub feature, making party music easily accessible It will look back at some of your old favourites and sort through the newest music, perhaps even bringing up a song you haven’t heard in a while. Then it will go over potential interests and present a stream of songs selected especially for you. Also, the lineup is continually updated based on your feedback. If you’re not feeling it, just hit the DJ button, and it will switch things up, the business claims. The DJ’s selections get better the more you listen and let him or her know what you enjoy (and don’t like!). “To create the DJ we reimagined the way users listen on Spotify. The DJ knows you and your music taste so well that it will scan the latest releases we know you’ll like, or take you back to that nostalgic playlist you had on repeat last year. Never before has listening felt so completely personal to each and every user.” Also Read: 3 Simple Ways to Cancel Spotify Premium Subscription Spotify collaborated with Xavier “X” Jernigan, its Head of Cultural Partnerships, to develop the voice model for the DJ. The Get Up, Spotify’s inaugural (and personalised) morning programme, included X as one of the hosts. His persona and voice connected with its listeners, building a devoted audience for the podcast. His voice serves as the DJ’s initial prototype. Availability For Spotify Premium subscribers in the United States and Canada, Spotify AI DJ is presently available in English. Where to find the Spotify AI DJ?
  • On your iOS or Android smartphone, open the Spotify mobile app and go to your Music Feed on Home.
  • On the DJ card, press Play.
  • The DJ will play a selection of music and provide a brief analysis of the songs and artists chosen just for you.
  • To change the genre, artist, or mood, simply click the DJ button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: A true flagship

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: A true flagship
Earlier this month, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series was introduced both globally and in India. The Gadget Bridge crew has therefore been using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra since the day it was first introduced. While we have reviewed other products in the interim, this phone has been our main phone for the entire time. We are finally prepared to share with you our final, long-term review of the device after using it for a significant number of days. So, we will be sharing all of our Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra experiences here.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: Design and Display

The recently announced Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has the same appearance as its predecessor. It has a distinctive look that is quite similar to that of the previous generation but is jam-packed with modifications, improvements, and new functions. To lessen the device’s influence on the environment, recycled materials were used in its construction and design, including internal parts. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: Design and Display According to the company recycled plastic was used for the upper and lower speaker modules as well as the inside cover of the S Pen, and recycled aluminium for the SIM tray, side keys, and volume keys. Even though it is a huge device, this phone is stunning in appearance, and we must commend it for not feeling uncomfortable to hold despite its size. But, based on our own observations, we can tell that this is most definitely a two-handed device for those with small hands. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: Design and Display Ladies out there should be aware that your jeans pocket probably won’t fit this Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Not blaming Samsung, but this is so frustrating that women’s clothes still lack functional pockets. Okay, this is a little out of topic but yes here I am advocating for larger pockets in women’s clothes. Hence, if you don’t like big phones, you should probably consider the Galaxy S23 plus, which offers a more-or-less comparable experience and a rather small form factor. All the time we used this phone, we never used a cover or a screen protector. It’s impressive that there isn’t a single scratch on the back. You can clearly see that it is in excellent condition. The front, however, has some scuffs, but nothing significant. Nonetheless, we strongly suggest that you put a decent case and screen protector on this device. But, the one issue we have with the S23 Ultra’s design is how quickly the dust accumulates on the camera array and how challenging it is to clean, particularly around the corners. The company should be commended for paying attention to details like the power button and volume rockers, which give excellent tactile feedback. We also appreciated how the frame and the back of the phone blended together smoothly. The first product with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is the S23 Ultra. With an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content, the new layering provides durability for looooong use. With Vitus 2, the device’s front and rear are both shielded. Significantly, the sides of the metal frame on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are now flat rather than curved. The phone is now comfortable to hold thanks to the enhanced design. There is a slight bend to the edge, mostly for One UI edge functionality and a more fluid swiping experience. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: Design and Display The back panel, however, has a matte appearance. Although the camera design has been slightly updated, the rear panel still feels and looks similar to the previous version. The very same floating camera setup is provided, but each lens has chrome rings around it. It has an IP68 rating for resistance to water and dust. We must acknowledge how stunning the S23 Ultra’s display is. It features one of the brightest screens on any smartphone right now, in addition to having exceptionally thin bezels. Its most distinctive feature is the 6.1-inch full-HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. In gaming mode, the display is rated to produce a 240Hz touch sampling rate and has a dynamic refresh rate of 1-120Hz, which can tumble to 48Hz. Review of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra There is a feature called Vision Booster, commonly referred to as extra brightness mode, for greater visibility outdoors. Under direct sunlight, it raises the screen’s brightness, colour, and contrast levels for better readability. There is also an extra-dim setting that lessens eye strain, especially for those of us who are regretful of using our smartphones during the night while curled up under the blankets. The display on this phone is arguably the best one we’ve used so far. Thus, the colour and contrast levels on this display are excellent. Our favourite smartphone screen for watching entertainment is in fact this one. Because of the screen’s outstanding touch sensitivity and haptic feedback, even using it has been wonderful. Because of this, typing and unlocking the phone provide you with wonderfully refined vibrating feedback, greatly improving our experience with the S23 Ultra. The fingerprint sensor is incredibly quick, precise, and trustworthy. Review of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Here, a fantastic screen is combined with an outstanding set of stereo speakers. They are balanced, sharp, clear, and loud. We had a wonderful time watching content on OTT platforms and, in particular, listening to music on Spotify, as we previously mentioned. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra perfromance The Galaxy S23 Ultra also supports the S-Pen. It’s really responsive and comfortable to use the S-Pen. To be honest, we don’t use the S-Pen all that much, but if you’re an artist or an art fan, you’ll definitely love its incredibly low input latency and precise tracking ability. We definitely give this phone a thumbs up because it is really nicely made and designed overall.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: Performance and Camera

Let’s now discuss how it performed. We haven’t really had anything to gripe about this one either. For performing routine daily duties, the device operates flawlessly, and using it to play games has been enjoyable. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform for Galaxy is the name Samsung has given to its customised version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC used in the Galaxy S23 series. The processor has been very effectively incorporated, and other phones using the original chip have previously been tested, but the S23 Ultra aims to maintain a cooler temperature. Most significantly, it cools off considerably quickly. The S23 Ultra’s gaming performance is also simply astounding. The most demanding games may be played at their optimal settings with a little stutter, however, you may experience some heating after around 30 minutes. Other less demanding games, like Call of Duty, run smoothly without lagging and the temperatures stay under control. Review of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about the software. One UI is one of the best Android skins available, so we have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. Its ease of use and navigation is something we appreciate. Furthermore finely optimised, the 120Hz refresh rate makes the phone quick and fluid.  Users are better secured for a longer period of time thanks to the Galaxy S23 series’ inclusion of four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates. The most recent version of Samsung One UI, version 5.1, was also published while we were discussing the software upgrade and it brought some minor visual modifications to the user interface. In addition to other things, we were really pleased with the camera’s performance. Its aspects of photography and videography impressed us. A 200-megapixel primary wide camera with an 85-degree field of view and an f/1.8 aperture is the primary camera on the back of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.  There are three more cameras: a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree field of view and an f/2.2 aperture, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture and a 3-x optical zoom, and a third 10-megapixel telephoto sensor (10x optical zoom). A 12-megapixel selfie camera with an 80-degree field of vision and an f/2.2 aperture is located up front. The primary camera on the device produces top-notch pictures. You get a fantastic dynamic, but the colour appears to be a little enhanced. So, you will enjoy the photographs on it if you favour a more rich, more bright look. A 200-megapixel sensor known as the ISOCELL HP2 has been added to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s primary camera system. With pixel binning, which will merge 16 pixels into one, you will be shooting at a resolution of about 12 megapixels.  Galaxy S23 Ultra Review Galaxy S23 Ultra Review Nevertheless, you can choose to either use 50 megapixels or the full 200-megapixel resolution if you’d like. As we zoom in 100x, you can see a lot more detail.
Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras
Normal vs portrait(lowlight)
It captures excellent images in low light thanks to its excellent ability to preserve shadow and highlight details. Images taken indoors are clear, finely detailed, and noise-free. Also, we don’t often use flash unless it is absolutely necessary in certain circumstances.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: A true flagship
daylight/lowlight with flash
We’d like to point out that when we take images of moving subjects, there sometimes seems to be some shutter lag. Our pet was in the shot, and since they are seldom ever still, the pictures are generally blurry. This is an important point for those of us who enjoy taking pictures of children and their pets.
Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras
Daytime wide/ultra-wide shots
Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras
Lowlight wide/ultrawide shots
Also, it features a superb ultra-wide camera, and it performs excellently all around. It has good shadow details and contrast ratio. The ultra-wide camera generated detailed photographs in low light. It does have autofocus, so you can use it to focus closely for macro images, and we thought it did a fantastic job. Notably, the S23 Ultra has two zoom cameras, one with a zoom range of about 3x and the other with a zoom range of 10x incorporating periscope technology. We found that a 10x zoom produces a crisper image.  Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras Now that the S23 Ultra can zoom out 30x, it is really beneficial if you need to zoom in on a distant sign. The text can be seen well in these sample photos. Although we personally don’t use this feature very often, you can use it to take images of the moon. It can even stretch up to 100x.
Galaxy S23 Ultra Review
portrait
The S23 Ultra also performs well for portraits. Here, it also offers a 3x optical zoom option, which in our opinion results in a far more appealing portrait. Yet we observed that our skin looked a little soft. Some of you might even enjoy that. Moreover, S23 Ultra offers foreground blur in pictures, although the outcomes are not to our taste. The edge detection and background blur are flawless.
Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras
Daytime (normal/portrait)
Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras
Selfie lowlight
Speaking of selfies, S23 Ultra was able to preserve the image quality and colour of our skin. You may also use a wider field of view here. It features a night mode for low-light selfies, however, it is quite challenging to keep your hands steady. Although you get a crisp image, using flash tends to over brighten everything.
Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras
selfie portrait
Let’s go on to videography right now. Samsung has also improved its video capabilities. As a result, you get superb dynamic range in favourable lighting when recording at 4K@30fps. It’s wonderful to see that Samsung now supports HDR10+ across all of its cameras. When you wish to export HDR video from the S23 Ultra, you do have the choice to convert that to SDR (standard dynamic range) video. The video becomes quite noisy when shot in low light. Low light autofocus is not as effective as it is in bright light.
Samsung devices now sport 8K video, which is excellent and offers a tonne of information, especially if you wish to zoom in. Samsung features a super steady mode that produces excellent stabilisation performance. Moreover, 4K portrait video is available and performs a respectable job in general. Yet, blacks have a more blue tint than true black. While the stabilisation and dynamic range of selfie videos are both outstanding.
The camera of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is superb, and using them shouldn’t be an issue. Although the device still suffers shutter slowness, the advantages include an expanded zoom and an overall good Ultra Wide camera. The videos feature better 8K and high dynamic range and sharpness. Nice stabilisation all in all, and improved cinematic mode. Finally, the S23 Ultra has good battery life. With our usage, the battery’s endurance is not very outstanding. The battery lasted the entire day for us and had about 35 percent charge left when we went to bed.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (starting at Rs 1,24,999) is a very well-built phone, offering the best display experience, performance and cameras. We have been quite happy with the camera performance among other things. Although its photography and videography capabilities are pretty excellent, there are still a few areas of its cameras that we wished have been better. For example, we discovered that the shutter speed on the S23 ultra was a little slower in portrait and ultra-wide modes. So, there is a potential that a photograph of a moving subject will turn out blurry.  Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra performance We have had a wonderful experience using the Galaxy S23 Ultra as our daily driver for weeks. There are a few minor details that we critiqued in our review, but they are all insignificant details that you are most likely to overlook anyhow. This is also your only trustworthy choice if you want a high-end phone with a stylus that works with it, unless you prefer a smaller phone, then Galaxy S23+ is a great option as well.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Pros

  • IP68 rated
  • Gorilla Victus 2 Protected
  • S-Pen support
  • 200MP quad camera setup

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Cons

  • lacks memory expansion
  • No charger provided
  • shutter lag

Apple Watch to study the heart in a way that has never been done before
Apple announced on Wednesday that it has given Apple Watch units to researchers from around the world to aid in the exploration of new areas in heart health. According to the research, a typical, healthy adult’s heart beats more than 100,000 times in a single day. A picture that is largely unseen starts to take shape beat by beat and day by day. Apple provides consumers with an ongoing, active view of their health with its heart health features, which include high and low heart rate notifications, Cardio Fitness, irregular rhythm notifications, the ECG app, and AFib History. According to Apple, researchers, clinicians, and developers have discovered cutting-edge new methods to investigate, track, and treat a wide spectrum of diseases since Apple debuted ResearchKit and CareKit in 2015. Also Read: HP Omen 17 (2023) laptop with 13th Gen Intel i9 Core processor launched in India Apple started the Investigator Support Program to encourage research that will ultimately lead to widespread health improvements. Through this programme, Apple offers researchers Apple Watch devices, enabling them to make significant advancements in health research, including the understanding of the heart from a scientific perspective. Apple is highlighting the innovative work being done by health professionals all over the world who are utilising Apple Watch to study the heart in a way that has never been done before. The company has disclosed that Dr. Claudia Toro and Associate Professor Rachel Conyers are senior paediatric oncologists from Melbourne, Australia. Together, they are examining the potential effects of treatment on cardiac rhythm and attempting to come up with creative strategies to intervene. “I read about the Apple Heart Study and I thought this could be important for paediatrics,” said Dr. Conyers. “We used to think of cardiac toxicity as something that happened 10 years after treatment. But now we know that new cancer therapies (like specific inhibitors or immune therapy) can cause arrhythmias within 48 hours of medication — so there’s a big gap in terms of what we know about the toxicities at the moment.” To further understand how wildfire smoke affects heart health, Dr. Cheong at Texas A&M University and Drs. Brian Kim and Marco Perez at Stanford Medicine will start providing Apple Watches to firefighters the first week of next month. Up to 200 firemen from Texas and California who work in the wildland fire season (spring and summer respectively) will participate in the study. Also Read: MWC 2023: MediaTek will demonstrate advancements in satellite communications, computing and more The study will use Apple Watch to track data on activity, sleep, blood oxygenation, heart rate and rhythm, and more. Also, firefighters will wear an air quality monitor and complete surveys about their sleep, activities, and illnesses brought on by wildfire smoke. The anticipated prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AFib) in the European Union is predicted to quadruple by 2060, according to epidemiology experts in the region. AFib is a common heart arrhythmia that, if untreated, can have catastrophic consequences, including an increased risk of stroke or heart failure. Dr. Sebastiaan Blok, director of eHealth at the Cardiology Centres of the Netherlands, and his colleagues are researching strategies to identify AFib sooner at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers. As part of a wider project named HartWacht, the first reimbursable eHealth idea, the researchers have created a randomised controlled study. They intend to include more than 300 patients who are above 65 and meet the AFib risk criterion in their trial. The intervention group, which makes up half of the participants, will wear Apple Watch for at least 12 hours per day. Participants are required to take an ECG as part of the study’s protocol once every three weeks or as soon as any symptoms appear. The researchers will get in touch with the participant and give them instructions on how to take an ECG and share the results if they receive a notification of an abnormal rhythm.

How to check if your iPhone is refurbished

Refurbished iPhones are far too common these days. Apple retails refurbished iPhones in its own online store. If you find the regular iPhone to be too pricey, you can get a pretty good deal on a refurbished one. Apple even changes the battery and the outer shell and makes sure all broken parts are either fixed or replaced before retailing a refurbished iPhone. On top of that, you even get a warranty of 1 year. Other sellers may not offer a warranty on the iPhone, but usually ask for a lower price than the official Apple Store. Here is our list of the best places to buy a refurbished iPhone.

How to check if your Android phone is refurbished

There are a couple of ways to find out if your Android smartphone is refurbished or brand new. Older smartphones display their RTN information upon dialling a code. Newer smartphones typically do not have this feature. Here are some methods that will cover every Android phone.

Use a dial code

This is one of the best methods to check if your Android smartphone is refurbished or not. Step 1: Open the dialer app on your phone. Step 2: Dial ##786# (##RTN#) on the keypad. If this code doesn’t work, dial ##786#*#. Step 3: Scroll down and check the Reconditioned Status. If it says Yes, your phone is a refurbished unit. If it says no, your phone is brand new.

Use a third-party app

Use a third-party app 8 Ways to Check if your iPhone or Android is Refurbished or Brand New Newer Android smartphones make it harder to check if they are refurbished or not. However, there are certain third-party apps that will do it for you. Samsung users can download the Phone INFO+ app to check the refurbishment status of their device. This is a paid app, which isn’t ideal, but it gets the job done. Launch the app and tap the hamburger menu on the left. Select ‘Refurbishment Check’ and the app will let you know if your device is refurbished or brand new.

Check the IMEI number 

Find out your Android phone or tablet’s IMEI number from Settings 8 Ways to Check if your iPhone or Android is Refurbished or Brand New If you purchased your phone from a shady seller and are now afraid they may have slipped you a stolen phone under the guise of a new one, you can easily find out its status by checking the IMEI number. Go to the About Phone section in the Settings app to find the IMEI number of your phone. Here are some easy ways to find the IMEI number of your smartphone. Now, go to imei.info and check if your device has any history of being stolen. If nothing shows up, your phone is likely brand new.

Make sure the IMEI number is consistent

There are several ways to go about checking the IMEI number of your Android phone. When a phone gets refurbished, the seller may flash its IMEI, leading to inconsistencies in the numbers listed on the device packaging and the device itself. Use the method mentioned above to find out the IMEI number of your phone from the device settings. Next, dial *#06# to check the IMEI number. Finally, check if these two numbers match the number listed on the retail package.

Should you buy a refurbished phone?

If you don’t want to splurge a lot of money on a flagship smartphone, buying a refurbished unit is the right move. Premium smartphones offer anywhere between 5 to 7 major OS upgrades, depending on the manufacturer. If you’re buying a refurbished model that’s only a couple of years old, you can still get a lot of mileage out of it. The dropoff in performance isn’t super big. Apart from the year of production and remaining software coverage, you should also do a basic hardware check while buying a refurbished smartphone. This means running an app like TestM or Phone Doctor to get an assessment of the core hardware of the device. You should also manually check the cameras, display, and speakers of the phone. This is why we recommend buying refurbished smartphones from physical retailers rather than online outlets.
