Smartphones are an item that nobody used to have – now pretty much everyone does. At first, they were just small devices that made calls. Now they sit at the centre of daily routines without drawing much attention. Checking messages happens automatically, and we rely on them for things like maps and navigation.
What makes smartphones interesting is not just what they can do, but how many small tasks they simplify. Life rarely changes through one giant leap. It changes through a hundred small conveniences added together. Those changes reshape habits completely.
Gaming Became Instant And Portable
Gaming is one of the biggest areas transformed by smartphones. Games used to require dedicated devices or a fixed setup at home. Entire libraries now fit in a pocket.
Mobile gaming removed the need for long sessions. Short bursts of play during a commute or while waiting in a queue became normal. Developers adapted quickly. Many games are now designed with mobile screens in mind from the beginning. Controls feel natural with touch gestures to make it easier to interact with the games.
Casino gaming shows this shift clearly – they went from clunky games in the 1990s to the slick interfaces we see now. Online casino platforms have moved toward mobile-first designs. Games load quickly. Menus fit smaller screens. Sessions can start almost instantly, while things like payments go through super quickly. People can choose how they engage in online gambling. This might include logging in on a mobile device and playing a few games on the train or while waiting to meet someone. It’s an industry that has evolved due to its popularity.
This change also influenced game design. Many titles are built around shorter rounds and clear progress tracking. The experience fits naturally into everyday moments rather than needing extra equipment or long stretches of time.
Photography Became Part Of Everyday Life
Lots of us don’t even think about how much photography has changed. There were days when we couldn’t just pull a camera out of our pocket (that was always with us).
Photography changed completely once smartphones added strong cameras. Carrying a separate camera is no longer necessary for most situations. Moments can be captured instantly without planning ahead. The cameras just kept getting better on smartphones – some even have 48 megapixels of quality. They are now a genuine alternative to DSLRs and expensive cameras.
This has changed how people think about memories. Everyday scenes that would once have gone unnoticed now get photographed. A meal or a quick group picture is easy to snap. Capturing these moments feels effortless. Not to mention the popularity of sites like Instagram, where we share these.
Editing tools also became easier. Filters and adjustments happen directly on the phone. What once required specialised software now happens in seconds. Sharing photos instantly adds another layer. Memories move from camera to conversation almost immediately.
The result is a world where photography feels casual rather than formal. There are estimates that there are now trillions of pictures taken every single year.
Communication Feels Constant And Simple
Phones obviously changed communication, but the shift runs deeper than just texting. Things like voice notes and video calls allow conversation to adapt to different situations and messages in a way that suits.
The speed of communication changed expectations. Waiting days for replies feels unusual now. Information moves faster and helps daily planning feel smoother.
Communication feels more flexible. A quick message replaces long calls when time is short. Voice notes fill gaps when typing feels slow.
Navigation And Travel Became Less Stressful
Finding directions used to involve printed maps or asking for help. Smartphones removed much of that uncertainty. Most people now use phones instead of SatNav devices.
Navigation apps provide turn-by-turn guidance. Traffic updates appear in real time in a way that people may not have imagined 10 or 20 years ago. Public transport schedules update automatically. Travel feels more manageable because information sits right there when needed.
Visiting a new city feels less intimidating when directions are always available. People wander more because getting lost feels temporary rather than stressful.
Shopping And Everyday Tasks Got Faster
Smartphones also simplified shopping. Comparing prices and ordering items all happen from one device.
Sites like online marketplaces or delivery services fit into everyday routines. Shopping no longer requires setting aside large blocks of time. Payment apps added another layer of convenience. Contactless phone payments mean leaving the house with fewer physical items.
Entertainment Is Always Close
Streaming services and sites like YouTube turned phones into portable entertainment hubs. Waiting time feels different now because content is always available.
People watch shows on trains or listen to their podcasts while walking. We can all discover and check out new music instantly (often for free on sites like YouTube). Entertainment became more personal and flexible. Netflix has been a prime example of one of these new platforms, and it is still growing to this day.
This shift also changed media habits. Instead of planning around schedules, entertainment fits around life.
Learning And Information Access
Smartphones made learning more casual. Tutorials and quick explainers appear instantly when curiosity strikes. Need to know how to boil an egg perfectly? There is probably a guide available. Want to learn a new language? It is a search away. DIY and even vehicle maintenance become easier as people search for “how-to” guides.
Knowledge feels more accessible because it is no longer tied to specific places or devices.
After putting out its flagship smartphone in late 2025, iQOO has added an ‘R’ model to the lineup. The iQOO 15R is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, which is positioned just below the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset in Qualcomm’s hierarchy of mobile processors. Its AMOLED display refreshes at 144Hz and can reach a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. Under the hood, the smartphone packs a massive 7,600mAh Si/C battery pack. Priced just under Rs 45,000, this smartphone demands the ‘flagship killer’ title. Of course, it makes some tradeoffs to keep its price in check, the most notable one being the lack of a telephoto lens in the rear camera array. We used the device for a week to find out if it can take on the heavyweights. Here is our review of the iQOO 15R.Read Also: OnePlus Nord 6 India launch imminent; upcoming launch teased
iQOO 15R Review: Design and Display
Before we talk about the iQOO 15R’s design, let’s take a look at what you get inside its retail box:
Smartphone
100W power adapter
USB-C to USB-C cable
Clear plastic case
SIM ejector
Warranty card
The iQOO 15R retains the basic form factor of its flagship sibling (our review here). Its flat glass back panel has a smooth finish that exudes a nice in-hand feel. It doesn’t register smudges and fingerprints easily. The chequered pattern on the ‘Triumph Silver’ colour scheme shines when light falls on it. We like the dose of personality it injects into the device, but folks who find it garish can go for the muted ‘Dark Knight’ colour variant. The square camera island has rounded corners. The LED flash is placed just outside this island.The aluminium frame brings strength and durability to the device. It houses the volume rocker and the side key on its right edge. The SIM tray, microphone, USB-C port, and primary speaker grille are placed at the bottom. Up top lie the secondary speaker and the noise-cancelling microphone. The smartphone is rated IP68/IP69 for dust and water resistance. It can withstand being submerged up to 1.5 metres in water for up to 30 minutes.The brilliant 6.59-inch AMOLED display leaves no room for complaints. It has a 144Hz refresh rate and can reach a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. It was easily able to overcome the bright natural light falling on it in sunny outdoor conditions to maintain excellent legibility. The smoothness and fluidity of the display are on par with some of the best flagship phones out there. The presence of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is the cherry on the cake. It is nice to see iQOO go all out on this front, when most manufacturers settle for an optical unit.During the review period, we used the iQOO 15R as our primary media streaming device, viewing content across OTT platforms like Netflix, JioHotstar, and Prime Video. The 1.5K AMOLED display curated an amazing viewing experience, with the signature deep blacks and thrilling contrast bringing every frame to life. The slim and uniform bezels around the display made sure there were no distractions while watching movies and TV shows. The stereo speaker setup produces a good audio output, but we would have preferred a slightly stronger low end.
iQOO 15R Review: Performance and Cameras
A tenacious processor is what separates a ‘flagship killer’ from its upper midrange counterparts. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC under the hood of the iQOO 15 hands it the power that not many phones in its price bracket can boast about. But it doesn’t stop there. Accompanying Qualcomm’s formidable chipset on this device is iQOO’s in-house Supercomputing Chip Q2.The smartphone comes in 3 RAM (LPDDR5X Ultra) and storage (UFS 4.1) variants:
8GB + 256GB: Rs 44,999
12GB + 256GB: Rs 47,999
12GB + 512GB: Rs 52,999
We ran a couple of benchmark tests on this device. Here is how it performed:
The iQOO 15R does not leave you hanging for power under any circumstance. It goes through routine tasks like calling, instant messaging, web browsing, media streaming, and GPS navigation like a hot knife through butter. Equipped with UFS 4.1 storage, the smartphone wastes no time in opening apps. The LPDDR5X Ultra RAM juggles a dozen apps like it’s nothing. In everyday use, the smartphone barely gets out of first gear. You get a taste of its potential when you carry out demanding tasks like photo and video editing.Speaking of demanding tasks, the iQOO 15R can run gaming titles like Call of Duty Mobile and BGMI at their highest settings. The Supercomputing Chip Q2 delivers clear graphics and interpolates the frame rate to 144fps. These settings can be accessed from the game bar. However, the frame rate in the native settings in gaming titles peaks at 90fps. This isn’t a big drawback, rather an interesting detail. The 6500 mm² VC cooling system does a decent job of dissipating the heat generated by the device. We felt slight warmth on the back panel after the 20-minute mark, but it did not result in any unwanted frame drops. The gameplay remained smooth and consistent throughout.Software duties on this device are handled by the Android 16-based OriginOS 6 out of the box. It has been promised 4 major OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches. Apart from a couple of bloatware apps, the software experience offered by OriginOS 6 on this device is very clean. The OS is properly optimised for a smooth browsing experience. The catchy app opening/closing animations and sliding page/panel effects make the experience even more enjoyable.There are plenty of customisation options available for the lockscreen and homepage. Our favourite is the ‘Flip card’ simulation, which adds a little motion effect to the lockscreen wallpaper upon gently tilting the phone. We also like that the smartphone offers a vast library of native AOD faces. On top of that, you can customise elements like the fingerprint icon, charging animation, lighting effects, and more. OriginOS 6’s AI suite isn’t the most comprehensive one out there, but it consists of the basic tools that one needs for everyday tasks. The native photo editor has AI tools to remove unwanted objects, boost details, adjust colours, and expand the image. The Smart Sidebar gives you quick access to the AI caption generator and screen translator. Additionally, you get Google’s Circle to Search and Gemini Assistant.The 7,600mAh battery under the hood of this smartphone is larger than the one on its flagship counterpart. You can push the device to its limits without exhausting the battery at the end of the day. If you limit yourself to routine tasks, you can get 2 days of battery life on a single charge. With an average screen time of 4-5 hours, we were left with ~30% charge in the tank at the end of each day. The 100W power adapter provided in the box took just under an hour to fully charge the phone.Moving on, iQOO 15R’s rear camera island houses a 50MP Sony LYT-700V primary shooter and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The lack of a telephoto lens is a reasonable tradeoff, especially for the power-enthusiast demographic for this phone. The punch-hole cutout on the display houses a 32MP front-facing camera. The main and selfie cameras can record 4K footage at 30 and 60fps. Meanwhile, the recording chops of the ultrawide lens are limited to 1,080p resolution at 30fps.The 50MP primary shooter takes detailed and tasteful shots in outdoor daylight conditions. The images sport balanced colours and exude a natural look. We like that the smartphone doesn’t overprocess the images. The contrast and dynamic range leave no room for complaints either. In limited lighting conditions, the main camera relies on Night Mode to get rid of the grain and assign appropriate colours to the images.Primary shooter: Without Night Mode v Night ModeImages taken from the 8MP ultrawide lens are a bit cooler compared to the ones taken from the main camera. The tonal shift isn’t a big issue for us, especially when you consider that the images still manage to pack a lot of detail. The ultrawide shots do not appear soft by any stretch of the imagination. However, in limited lighting conditions, some grain creeps into the images, but they are still passable.Ultrawide lensUltrawide lensUltrawide lens: Without Night Mode v Night ModePortrait shots taken by the iQOO 15R are vibrant and well-focused. The native camera app offers 3 focal length options for portraits – 23mm, 35mm, and 50mm. This lets you take a step back and incorporate more of the background into the shot. The camera does a good job of detecting the subject’s boundaries. However, the background blur effect leaves more to be desired. A more intense blur would’ve been ideal. If you’re looking for DSLR-like shots, there are other camera-centric phones in this segment for you. Lastly, the 32MP front-facing camera takes clear and detailed selfies without applying over-the-top texture and tone correction effects.Portraits: 25mm v 35mmPortraits: 35mm v 50mmRead Also: Top 10 smartphones under Rs 10,000 (March 2026)
Verdict
The iQOO 15R is a cracking deal for gaming enthusiasts and power users who want a device that can crush any task that’s thrown its way. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 has proven itself to be a colossal processor that’s only bested by Qualcomm’s flagship chipset. To sweeten the deal, iQOO has equipped its flagship killer with top-of-the-line hardware. The 1.5K AMOLED display holds up well in bright outdoor conditions, while the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under this panel outperforms its optical counterparts by a long shot. The 7,600mAh battery pack can last for up to 2 days on a full charge.Granted, the camera island would be better off with a telephoto lens in it, but the primary and ultrawide shooters do a great job in a variety of lighting conditions. The portraits leave more to be desired, but it is a fair tradeoff for more power. If you’re a photography enthusiast, we’d recommend the V70 from iQOO’s sister brand, Vivo.Buy on Amazon for Rs 44,998

SmartThings Family Care India is Samsung’s latest attempt to make the smart home feel less like a gadget demo and more like a useful member of the family. Announced in Gurugram on March 17, 2026, the update brings a care-focused feature to the SmartThings platform in India, using compatible Bespoke AI appliances to send alerts, reminders, and activity updates that can help families support elderly parents or relatives living independently.
That matters because smart homes often promise convenience, but this feature aims for something more grounded. Peace of mind. In many Indian households, and in plenty of families across the world, adult children live in different cities, sometimes different countries, while parents continue living on their own. A connected home that can quietly flag unusual changes in routine starts to sound less futuristic and more practical.
The core idea is fairly simple. When connected through the SmartThings app, supported Bespoke AI appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, can help identify routine usage patterns. If those patterns change, the system can notify selected family members.
Samsung says the feature can also deliver:
Activity notifications based on appliance usage
Medication reminders
Appointment reminders
Location-based alerts
Shared device access for family members through the SmartThings app
In plain English, this means a home can signal whether familiar daily routines appear normal. If a refrigerator door is usually opened in the morning and that pattern suddenly changes, or if a reminder needs to be sent at a certain time, the system can act as a digital nudge rather than a silent set of appliances.
That makes this less about flashy automation and more about remote family monitoring that fits daily life. It is not a replacement for human care, regular calls, or in-person visits. But it does try to fill the quiet gaps between them.
Why this India launch feels timely
India is a strong fit for this kind of feature. Multi-generational family structures remain deeply important, but work, education, and migration have spread families across cities and continents. That has created a very modern problem wrapped inside a very traditional value system. People want to care for parents and elders, even when geography gets in the way.
This is where elderly care smart home technology starts to make sense. Not because it is fashionable, but because it is increasingly relevant. The appeal of the SmartThings India launch is not that a refrigerator has become clever. It is that technology is being pitched as a support system for emotional and logistical distance.
Samsung is also clearly tying this update to its wider connected-home strategy. The company says SmartThings Family Care is integrated into its broader SmartThings ecosystem and works with its Bespoke AI appliances. It also notes that the service is available in more than 200 countries, which gives the feature a larger global footprint rather than making it look like a one-market experiment.
The bigger play behind Bespoke AI appliances
There is another layer here, and it is the bigger industry story. Home appliances are no longer being sold only on cooling, washing, or cleaning performance. They are increasingly being positioned as software-powered assistants. That is a major shift.
Bespoke AI appliances are becoming part of a broader connected home alerts ecosystem where devices are expected to communicate, learn routines, and surface useful information. That also means the success of features like Family Care will depend less on the appliance itself and more on how reliable, accurate, and easy the software experience feels over time.
If the setup is smooth and the alerts are genuinely helpful, this could be one of those rare smart home features that solves a real-world problem without making users feel like they need a manual and a prayer. If it becomes noisy, confusing, or overly sensitive, families may switch it off faster than a forgotten kitchen timer.
The launch of SmartThings Family Care in India gives Samsung a more emotionally resonant smart home pitch than the usual efficiency and convenience script. This is a feature built around care, routine, and reassurance. That gives it more weight than the average connected-home announcement.
The smartest gadget in the house is not the one with the flashiest screen or the loudest AI label. It is the one that quietly helps a family worry a little less. On that front, SmartThings Family Care has a sharper purpose than most smart home updates, and that alone makes it worth watching.

Apple has officially unveiled the AirPods Max 2 launch, and this time, the update is more than a paint refresh with a fancy press release. The new AirPods Max 2 arrive with Apple’s H2 chip, improved Active Noise Cancellation, upgraded audio hardware, and a bundle of intelligent features that aim to make these premium headphones smarter in daily use, not just prettier on a desk. The new model also keeps Apple firmly in the conversation around AirPods Max 2 ANC upgrade, lossless audio over USB-C, and creator-friendly premium headphones in 2026.
AirPods Max 2 finally gets the upgrade many users were waiting for
For a product that has long looked iconic but felt a little frozen in time, AirPods Max 2 appears to be Apple’s attempt at making the lineup feel current again. The headline feature is the H2 chip, which powers a more advanced audio pipeline and enables features that were missing from the original over-ear model.
Apple says the new headphones deliver up to 1.5x more effective Active Noise Cancellation than the previous generation. In plain English, that means aeroplane hum, metro chatter, office clatter, and the general soundtrack of modern life should fade more convincingly into the background. Transparency mode has also been refined, and Apple claims it sounds more natural thanks to new digital signal processing tuned for H2.
That matters because premium headphones in this segment are no longer judged only by sound. They are judged by how intelligently they adapt to the world around them.
Better sound, lower latency, and a more serious nod to creators
Audio upgrades on AirPods Max 2 go beyond noise cancellation. Apple has added a new high dynamic range amplifier, which is said to deliver cleaner, more detailed sound while preserving the signature tuning that made the original AirPods Max popular with many listeners.
The bigger talking point for audio purists may be lossless audio over USB-C. When connected with the included USB-C cable, AirPods Max 2 support 24-bit, 48kHz lossless audio. That is a notable move because it gives these headphones more serious credentials for music production, critical listening, and pro workflows.
Apple is also pitching the headphones directly at creators. Studio-quality recording is now part of the package, alongside camera remote support that lets users snap photos or start and stop video from a distance using the Digital Crown. For podcasters, interviewers, mobile filmmakers, and musicians, that adds a surprisingly practical layer to what might otherwise have been seen as a luxury listening device.
There is also reduced wireless latency, which could make AirPods Max 2 gaming features more relevant than before. It may not turn them into a hardcore esports headset overnight, but it does make the over-ear headphones more versatile for entertainment beyond music and movies.
Smarter features step in, with Apple Intelligence quietly taking a seat
The H2 chip also unlocks a wider set of smart features, many of which Apple users will already recognise from newer AirPods products. These include Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, Personalised Volume, Loud Sound Reduction, and Siri head gesture interactions.
The most attention-grabbing addition is arguably Live Translation on AirPods Max, powered by Apple Intelligence. Apple is positioning it as an in-person communication tool for multilingual conversations. It is the kind of feature that sounds futuristic in a keynote and potentially useful in airports, international meetings, and travel-heavy work lives. That said, availability still depends on supported languages, supported regions, and an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone running the latest software. So yes, it is exciting, but it also comes with the usual ecosystem fine print.
Design stays familiar, colours get the spotlight
Visually, Apple has not torn up the script. AirPods Max 2 retain the same recognisable over-ear silhouette that helped the original stand out instantly. The new colour palette includes midnight, starlight, orange, purple, and blue, which gives buyers more personality without changing the industrial design formula that Apple clearly still believes in.
That may divide opinion. Some users wanted a radical redesign. Others will be perfectly happy that Apple focused on the internals instead of trying to reinvent a look that already feels premium.
Apple says AirPods Max 2 will be available to order starting March 25, with broader availability beginning early next month. In India, the headphones are priced at Rs 67,900. The company is also continuing its environmental messaging, saying the new model uses recycled rare earth elements, recycled polyester in the ear cushions, and fibre-based packaging.
The real story here is not that Apple made AirPods Max shinier. It is that the company has finally brought its premium over-ear headphones into the same software-and-silicon era as the rest of its audio lineup. That was overdue.
Our quick take? AirPods Max 2 look less like a cosmetic sequel and more like a long-delayed catch-up done properly. They are still expensive, still unapologetically premium, and still deeply tied to Apple’s ecosystem. But for users already inside that world, this launch feels like the first time the Max name has fully earned its second act.

The most recent beta release for Android and iOS includes this functionality. Guest chats on WhatsApp are intended to ease engagement for non-users by enabling them to participate without the need for a separate application or account. This functionality is presently being tested with a restricted set of beta users on both the Android and iOS platforms. Its goal is to bring new users to the WhatsApp interface and perhaps increase account sign-ups. By permitting guest chats, this feature affects connection dynamics, allowing users to interact with people outside of the regular WhatsApp user base, making it easier to reach out to new contacts who have yet to join the platform.Also Read:Meta will no longer use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Instagram DMsAccording to the report, the guest chat function lets users ask others to join chats via a secure connection. This link enables non-WhatsApp users to see conversations by clicking on it in their browser. Users can create the invitation link under the “Invite a friend” section or at the bottom of their contacts list. The URL may be shared by SMS, email, or other communications platforms. Recipients may access the link on their desktop or mobile devices, with the option to download the WhatsApp app or remain as guests. Choosing to continue as a guest will bring them to a WhatsApp Web conversation.WhatsApp Web assigns a unique identification to guest users, which is used to generate an end-to-end encryption key, protecting the security of message content from WhatsApp. Users may check the encryption of messages by scanning a QR code or comparing security codes. By continuing as a guest, users agree to WhatsApp’s terms of service and get access to the sender’s phone number. After the encryption key is generated, users may choose a recognisable name; however, WhatsApp does not verify them, which might lead to security problems. The invite link could be hacked, enabling unauthorised users to join the guest chat, particularly if the intended receiver changes their phone number. As a result, users are recommended to verify the authenticity of those with whom they are exchanging guest chat links.Also Read:Optoma UHR90DV triple-laser RGB home theatre projector launched in IndiaAt this stage, Guests may initiate WhatsApp chats using a shared chat invite link provided by a registered user. When a guest chat is started, “Guest” displays in the app bar, indicating that the person has not registered. This function assists in recognising guest responses, resulting in easier communication. Guest chats have restricted capability for temporary interactions, excluding group conversations; media sharing; attachments such as images, videos, documents, and GIFs; as well as voice and video calls.Guest chats have a limited duration, ending after 10 days of inactivity and requiring a fresh invite link to continue talks. Guests may not get notifications of new messages; thus, users must actively check their messages. Users can control their active conversations and ban visitors in the same way they do regular account users. To block a guest, users must tap on the guest’s name in the chat and select “Block“, which effectively prevents further communications from that person. In addition, only guests who got the initial invite link may contact the inviter; those invited by others are unable to do so.
Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Samsung MX COO Won-Joon Choi and gain his insights. Based on remarks from him and Samsung Southwest Asia chief JB Park, the Galaxy S26 series is being framed as a hardware-first flagship family that also wants AI to do more of the work in the background quietly. That means better cameras, stronger battery life, faster charging, and a new software direction Samsung is calling AI OS.
Samsung’s big S26 pitch is balance, not buzz
If there is one clear message from Choi’s address, it is this: Samsung says it studied what buyers still care about most before building the Galaxy S26 lineup. The answer was not mysterious. Performance, camera quality and battery life remain the top buying factors, and Samsung claims the S26 series was designed to balance those fundamentals with newer AI experiences. That is a smart shift in messaging because smartphone buyers may enjoy AI demos, but most still notice bad battery life faster than clever software.
Samsung’s official messaging describes the Galaxy S26 series as its most intuitive Galaxy AI phone yet, with proactive features such as Now Nudge, a more personalised Now Brief, upgraded Circle to Search, and a more conversational Bixby. It also confirms that Gemini and Perplexity are part of the mix, signalling that Samsung is no longer treating AI as a one-assistant world. That openness lines up neatly with Choi’s three stated principles for Galaxy AI: reach, openness and trust.
AI OS and agentic AI are Samsung’s next software bet
The phrase Samsung AI OS may sound ambitious, but Samsung’s description is fairly practical. Choi says the company is integrating AI engines and functions at the OS layer so apps and services can deliver more agentic experiences. In simple terms, Samsung wants the phone to move from answering questions to handling intent, planning steps and helping execute tasks across apps.
Samsung says the S26 can complete multi-step actions more seamlessly, and that agent choices include Bixby, Gemini and Perplexity. In the Q and A, Choi also pointed to early partner integrations with Uber, DoorDash and Starbucks, with broader app and language support expected to expand over time. English and Korean appear to be the starting point for the initial wave. Indian languages will soon come into play.
This is where Samsung’s argument gets interesting. Choi openly suggested some utility apps could fade into the background in an agentic AI smartphone future, while content apps like Netflix or Spotify would likely remain. That is a more nuanced take than the usual “AI replaces everything” hype. It also feels closer to what users may actually accept.
Charge better
On charging, Samsung says the Ultra supports fast top-ups with a 60W adapter (sold separately). That aligns with Choi’s remarks that Samsung’s own Samsung 60W charger would be available at launch and that standard-compliant third-party chargers should also work, and more are being built with compatible third-party vendors.
The standout hardware story is clearly the Galaxy S26 Privacy Display on the Ultra. Samsung says it is the mobile industry’s first built-in privacy display for smartphones, designed to limit side-angle viewing without the usual downsides of a stick-on privacy screen.
That matters because it turns privacy from an accessory into a native feature. Choi also suggested the technology could expand over time to more Galaxy devices, though foldables still present structural challenges. He further said Samsung is studying whether the same approach makes sense for products like Galaxy Book laptops. If Samsung can scale this well, Privacy Display could become one of those features rivals quickly try to imitate. For now, though, Samsung has found a rare smartphone talking point that feels instantly understandable to regular users.
Automatic scrolling for Reels has been one of the most-requested Instagram features for a while. The developers have finally heard the masses and added it to the app’s arsenal. When this feature is turned on, you don’t need to swipe up to go to the next Reel. The content flows smoothly without requiring any gesture. The next Reel plays automatically when the current one ends. Here’s how you can auto-scroll Instagram Reels.Read Also:Meta will no longer use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Instagram DMs
Before you begin
The auto-scroll feature has been in the incubator since last year. Initially available exclusively to creators, the tool was later rolled out in selected regions. The current rollout for wider audiences has been going on since December. Now that automatic scrolling can be carried out natively, you don’t need to rely on third-party apps for the task. This is a huge plus, as these apps require invasive screen overlay permissions to function. Auto-scroll is disabled by default. You need to enable it from the Reels section to create an endless scroll of video content. The only downside to this feature is that it autoscrolls static images that show up in the Reels feed as well. You can pause a post by long-pressing anywhere on the screen.
Hit the ellipses in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Turn on the toggle switch next to Auto-scroll.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can you scroll automatically to the next Reel on Instagram?
Yes, Instagram has a feature that lets you scroll automatically to the next Reel without swiping up. You can enable it by hitting the ellipses in the bottom right corner of any Reel and turning on the toggle switch next to ‘Auto-scroll’.
Can I turn off Instagram auto-scroll?
You can disable auto-scroll by tapping the ellipses on a Reel and turning off its toggle switch.
How do I voice translate Instagram Reels?
Tap the ‘Translated with Meta AI’ on a Reel and select your preferred language to switch to the translated audio.
Can I hide my likes on Instagram?
To hide your likes, go to Profile>Settings and activity>Activity in Friends tab and select ‘No one’.
If you can’t find this feature on your device, make sure the Instagram app is updated to its latest version. Since Meta is rolling this feature out in a phased manner, it may take some time to reach your device. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments!

Meta has decided to stop offering end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages (DMs). This decision was communicated to users of the application via notifications and an update on their support page. After May 8, 2026, the end-to-end encrypted messages feature will be phased off and rendered inoperable.
Instagram encrypted messages
Meta spokesman Dina El-Kassaby Luce told The Verge that Instagram would stop offering end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messages on May 8.The functionality isn’t used frequently, which is why the move was made. This big change is being communicated to users via the app and on Instagram’s support page. Instagram suggests that users download their E2EE chats and photos before the function is completely taken away as a safety measure. El-Kassaby Luce said that users may still use WhatsApp for encrypted chatting if they’d like to.Meta is bringing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to Instagram in 2023, after its introduction in WhatsApp and Messenger. This feature guarantees that only communication participants have access to their messages and calls, protecting them from third parties, including Meta itself. Each device in an E2EE chat has its own unique key that is required for the conversation to be secure. The sender device encrypts messages, which can only be opened by another device with the correct key. This encryption applies to both video and audio calls. Users may still opt to share messages or calls externally, enabling others to see the content. Ultimately, no one, including Meta, has access to the encrypted messages without the keys. Therefore, E2EE dramatically improves privacy; users maintain control over shared content.Also Read:Optoma UHR90DV triple-laser RGB home theatre projector launched in IndiaMeta and other tech companies are getting more and more criticism for sharing user messages with other groups, such as the police. People who are against this practice say that end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which is used on many platforms, makes it easier for child predators to talk to minors without being seen.Also Read:Haier 596-litre 2-Door Side-by-Side Refrigerator launched in IndiaIn 2024, the Attorney General of Nevada tried to stop Meta from giving E2EE to minors. The attorney general of New Mexico said that Meta knew that this encryption technology was dangerous for kids since it made it harder to identify child sexual abuse. The UK government is also worried about the issue. Reports say that they asked Apple to provide them with backdoor access to iCloud data, which raises even more worries about user privacy and safety in the digital world.

The aluminium frame brings strength and durability to the device. It houses the volume rocker and the side key on its right edge. The SIM tray, microphone, USB-C port, and primary speaker grille are placed at the bottom. Up top lie the secondary speaker and the noise-cancelling microphone. The smartphone is rated IP68/IP69 for dust and water resistance. It can withstand being submerged up to 1.5 metres in water for up to 30 minutes.

The smartphone is rated IP68/IP69 for dust and water resistance. It can withstand being submerged up to 1.5 metres in water for up to 30 minutes.
The brilliant 6.59-inch AMOLED display leaves no room for complaints. It has a 144Hz refresh rate and can reach a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. It was easily able to overcome the bright natural light falling on it in sunny outdoor conditions to maintain excellent legibility. The smoothness and fluidity of the display are on par with some of the best flagship phones out there. The presence of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is the cherry on the cake. It is nice to see iQOO go all out on this front, when most manufacturers settle for an optical unit.
During the review period, we used the iQOO 15R as our primary media streaming device, viewing content across OTT platforms like Netflix, JioHotstar, and Prime Video. The 1.5K AMOLED display curated an amazing viewing experience, with the signature deep blacks and thrilling contrast bringing every frame to life. The slim and uniform bezels around the display made sure there were no distractions while watching movies and TV shows. The stereo speaker setup produces a good audio output, but we would have preferred a slightly stronger low end.
The iQOO 15R does not leave you hanging for power under any circumstance. It goes through routine tasks like calling, instant messaging, web browsing, media streaming, and GPS navigation like a hot knife through butter. Equipped with UFS 4.1 storage, the smartphone wastes no time in opening apps. The LPDDR5X Ultra RAM juggles a dozen apps like it’s nothing. In everyday use, the smartphone barely gets out of first gear. You get a taste of its potential when you carry out demanding tasks like photo and video editing.
Speaking of demanding tasks, the iQOO 15R can run gaming titles like Call of Duty Mobile and BGMI at their highest settings. The Supercomputing Chip Q2 delivers clear graphics and interpolates the frame rate to 144fps. These settings can be accessed from the game bar. However, the frame rate in the native settings in gaming titles peaks at 90fps. This isn’t a big drawback, rather an interesting detail. The 6500 mm² VC cooling system does a decent job of dissipating the heat generated by the device. We felt slight warmth on the back panel after the 20-minute mark, but it did not result in any unwanted frame drops. The gameplay remained smooth and consistent throughout.
Software duties on this device are handled by the Android 16-based OriginOS 6 out of the box. It has been promised 4 major OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches. Apart from a couple of bloatware apps, the software experience offered by OriginOS 6 on this device is very clean. The OS is properly optimised for a smooth browsing experience. The catchy app opening/closing animations and sliding page/panel effects make the experience even more enjoyable.
There are plenty of customisation options available for the lockscreen and homepage. Our favourite is the ‘Flip card’ simulation, which adds a little motion effect to the lockscreen wallpaper upon gently tilting the phone. We also like that the smartphone offers a vast library of native AOD faces. On top of that, you can customise elements like the fingerprint icon, charging animation, lighting effects, and more.
OriginOS 6’s AI suite isn’t the most comprehensive one out there, but it consists of the basic tools that one needs for everyday tasks. The native photo editor has AI tools to remove unwanted objects, boost details, adjust colours, and expand the image. The Smart Sidebar gives you quick access to the AI caption generator and screen translator. Additionally, you get Google’s Circle to Search and Gemini Assistant.
The 7,600mAh battery under the hood of this smartphone is larger than the one on its flagship counterpart. You can push the device to its limits without exhausting the battery at the end of the day. If you limit yourself to routine tasks, you can get 2 days of battery life on a single charge. With an average screen time of 4-5 hours, we were left with ~30% charge in the tank at the end of each day. The 100W power adapter provided in the box took just under an hour to fully charge the phone.
Moving on, iQOO 15R’s rear camera island houses a 50MP Sony LYT-700V primary shooter and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The lack of a telephoto lens is a reasonable tradeoff, especially for the power-enthusiast demographic for this phone. The punch-hole cutout on the display houses a 32MP front-facing camera. The main and selfie cameras can record 4K footage at 30 and 60fps. Meanwhile, the recording chops of the ultrawide lens are limited to 1,080p resolution at 30fps.
The 50MP primary shooter takes detailed and tasteful shots in outdoor daylight conditions. The images sport balanced colours and exude a natural look. We like that the smartphone doesn’t overprocess the images. The contrast and dynamic range leave no room for complaints either. In limited lighting conditions, the main camera relies on Night Mode to get rid of the grain and assign appropriate colours to the images.
