Nothing sub-brand CMF has announced that it will launch the CMF Phone 2 Pro, CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a, and Buds 2 Plus on April 28. The brand has already teased a few details of the device and while those were believed to be CMF Phone 2 details, it seems like they belonged to the Pro model.
On Monday, April 28th at 6:30 PM IST, CMF will reveal CMF Phone 2 Pro, the second smartphone released under the sub-brand launched in September 2023. On the same day, CMF will also introduce three new audio products: CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a, and Buds 2 Plus. The company also confirmed the availability of the products through Flipkart.
The company also shared a teaser consisting of four circles which likely resemble the camera setup of the device. They also suggest that the device will have a triple rear camera setup. Moreover, the existence of a Pro model could also mean that the brand will debut the vanilla CMF Phone 2 at some point later this year which could be the successor to last year’s CMF Phone 1.
Few details of an upcoming CMF smartphone have already leaked and while they were believed to be associated with the CMF Phone 2, the CMF Phone 2 Pro may be the actual bearer of those specs.
According to leaks, the device could come with a 6.3 inch Super AMOLED LTPS screen with a 1080 x 2400 pixels Resolution and a 120 Hz Refresh Rate. It could have an in-display optical fingerprint sensor. The device could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage. It may be backed by a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
Meta has introduced its latest Llama 4 AI models to rival OpenAI’s and Google’s latest models. Llama 4 Scout, a 17 billion active parameter model with 16 experts, is claimed to be “the best multimodal model in the world in its class and is more powerful than all previous generation Llama models”.
Meta has introduced Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick, the first open-weight natively multimodal models with a high context length support and the company’s first built using a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture. It is also previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, one of the smartest LLMs in the world and its most powerful yet to serve as a teacher for its new models.
Meta says that Llama 4 Scout offers an industry-leading context window of 10M and delivers better results than Gemma 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, and Mistral 3.1 across a broad range of widely reported benchmarks. The Llama 4 Maverick is a 17 billion active parameter model with 128 experts. The Scout fits on a single H100 GPU (with Int4 quantization) while the latter fits on a single H100 host.
The Llama 4 Behemoth is touted to have outperformed GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on STEM-focused benchmarks such as MATH-500 and GPQA Diamond. However, Meta isn’t releasing Behemoth just yet as it is still in the training phase.
Llama 4 models are built with native multimodal capabilities, using early fusion to naturally combine text and visual inputs within a single unified architecture. This early fusion approach is a big leap forward—it allows the model to be pre-trained on massive amounts of unlabeled data across text, images, and video all at once. Meta has also upgraded the vision encoder in Llama 4. While it’s based on MetaCLIP, the company trained it separately alongside a frozen Llama model, helping it better align with the language model’s needs.
For Llama 4, Meta adopted a “mixture of experts” (MoE) architecture—a setup that helps save computing power by activating only the specific parts of the model needed for each task. As for Llama 4 Behemoth, it is also a multimodal mixture-of-experts model, with 288B active parameters, 16 experts, and nearly two trillion total parameters.
One can download the Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick models on llama.com and Hugging Face. Users can try Meta AI built with Llama 4 in WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram Direct, and on the Meta.AI website.
WhatsApp is testing a couple of new features including new Mute and Camera off buttons for WhatsApp Audio and Video calls. The new features allow for an enhanced calling experience on the app where using the mute button allows users to accept the call and simultaneously mute it. Check out more details about the update below.
WhatsApp is reportedly working on three new audio and video features, expected to roll out in a future app update (via WABetaInfo). These features were spotted in the WhatsApp Beta for Android, version 2.25.10.16. One of them is designed to enhance voice calls by letting users mute the call and disable their microphone before answering. It can be useful in situations where users need to quickly accept a call but don’t want to engage in the conversation immediately.
WhatsApp is testing both Mute and Camera Off buttons for WhatsApp Audio and Video calls. The latter allows you to disable your camera before answering an incoming video call. Previously, users had to accept the call first and then turn off their video, which wasn’t ideal—especially when caught off guard by unexpected or unknown callers.
WhatsApp is also adding Emoji reactions to video calls, bringing a more fun and expressive way to interact. With this feature, participants can respond in real time using emojis without cutting into the conversation—perfect for group video calls where quick, non-verbal feedback can keep things flowing smoothly.
As of now, the three new features are available to select beta testers who install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store. It should roll out to even more people over the coming weeks.
Nothing sub-brand CMF debuted its first smartphone last year and it was a value for money device for what was on offer. Now, CMF Phone 2 details have began circulating on the internet and the brand itself has begun teasing a new device which looks like the successor to its last year’s hit, the CMF Phone 1. Here’s everything to expect from the device.
CMF Phone 2 Details: Things to Know
Some of the CMF Phone 2 details have been teased by the brand itself, such as the new finish the device will be available in. The CMF Phone 1 came with replaceable back panels that were made of plastic and had finishes like vegan leather. Now, the new finish teased by CMF could feel more premium. One can also notice the screw on the back which suggests that the CMF Phone 2 will also come with replaceable back panels.
The brand also teased the rear design through a schematics video a few days back which where a single rear camera is shown. It is unclear whether the device will come with a single back camera but leaks suggest it will have two Sensors this time around, including an ultra-wide angle sensor rather than a depth sensor over last year’s model.
As for the expected specifications of the handset, the device could come with a 6.3 inch Super AMOLED LTPS screen with a 1080 x 2400 pixels Resolution and a 120 Hz Refresh Rate. It could have an in-display optical fingerprint sensor. The device could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage. It may be backed by a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
On the back, there may be a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor. There could be a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies. The CMF Phone 2 may also be IP64 rated and should run on Nothing OS 3.1 based on Android 15. It could also carry the new Essential Key from the Nothing Phone (3a) series.
Coming to the price, the device may be priced starting at Rs 17,999 and could go up till Rs 19,999 for thw top-end model.
Samsung is seemingly preparing to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 with One UI 8. The company is still struggling to launch One UI 7 for its older flagships but it seems like Samsung could soon bring things back on track with the next version of One UI based on Android 16. Here’s everything to know about the development.
The leak stating that Samsung will debut Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 with One UI 8 comes from SamMobile. “Our insiders have told us that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will indeed run the latest Android and One UI version out of the box. That will be Android 16 and One UI 8.0,” stated the report. It could also mean that devices like the Galaxy S25 series will get the update much sooner than how the Galaxy S24 series received One UI 7.
Google is expected to debut Android 16 in June which is again months earlier than the usual schedule and Samsung’s plans to debut the next One UI version earlier than its regular timeframe could be to match Google’s new timeline for Android updates. Starting today, April 7, the One UI 7 official rollout for older Samsung devices begins. It is expected that Samsung will rapidly roll out One UI 7 to most of its flagships before the end of this month.
As for what to expect from the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, the renders for both have already leaked once before. According to the leaks, the biggest change in the Z Fold 7 design over the Z Fold 6 is going to be the thickness. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, and 9.5mm when folded (including the camera bump, closer to 9mm without it).
As for the Flip 7, the major change will be the design of the cover display. This year, it will be an enitrely new cover display on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 that goes around the two camera sensors, similar to Motorola’s Razr Ultra series flip foldable phones.

YouTube has introduced a new video editor for YouTube Shorts alongside other new video creation tools such as the ability to automatically sync edits to the rhythm of the music. The new tools are coming this Spring and are touted to enhance the way creators create content on YouTube Shorts.
The new video editor for YouTube Shorts was a top request from Shorts creators as per YouTube. With the new editor, users will be able to make precise adjustments and edits to the timing of each clip with zooming and snapping, rearrange or delete clips to create a rough cut, add music or timed text, and preview their Short. These are the first of more improvements planned to streamline in-app editing for Shorts, said the platform.
Soon, users will be able to pick a song, and the new tool will automatically align the clips with the music’s rhythm, taking the headache out of manual syncing. As for Templates, you can now pull photos from your gallery and use them in templates, and soon, you’ll be seeing effects in templates too. When you use a Shorts template, the original creator will also automatically be attributed.
Next, you’ll be able to integrate image stickers into your Shorts, straight from your gallery. Not only that, but you’ll also be able to create AI stickers with a simple text prompt, also coming this spring. Simply describe the sticker you envision, and YouTube will generate it for you, giving you a sticker that is truly one of a kind and perfect for expressing yourself.
Earlier in March, YouTube introduced a Premium Lite plan in the US. The Lite version of the YouTube Premium plan brings a downgraded experience over the regular plan but also comes with a cheaper price tag. It is claimed to offer the right balance of features and benefits for those viewers who want to watch most videos ad-free – whether it’s gaming, comedy, cooking or learning.
The Galaxy S25 Edge launch date has been set in mid-May as per a new leak. The device was first teased earlier this year at the Galaxy S25 series launch event. While the device was believed to launch later this month, reports suggest the launch has been delayed by a month due to an unknown reason. Here’s everything to know about the development.
‘The report comes from SamMobile, suggesting that the Galaxy S25 Edge launch date is set for Tuesday, May 13, 2025. The report further states that “rather than hosting a big Unpacked event like in January with the regular S25 lineup, the South Korean company will launch the S25 Edge in a smaller online-only presentation, though this could vary by country.” There’s no word on whether the device will launch in India on the same date but the launch does seem likely as the device has already appeared on the BIS certification website.
The most recent leak related to the device involved high quality renders of the device in various colours. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge colour options, as per the leak, will include Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Icy Blue, and Titanium Silver.
According to leaked specs, the device will sport a 6.7-inch SuperAMOLED display with 2400 x 1080 pixels Resolution and will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. Galaxy S25 Edge will support 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The camera setup on the back includes a 200-megapixel primary sensor with OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor.
It could be backed up by a 3900mAh battery which could support 25W fast wired charging along with wireless charging support. The device will run on Android 15-based One UI 7 and will support up to 7 years of OS updates as per Samsung’s latest software update policy for its flagships.
Google Pixel 10 series camera specs have been leaked in detail, suggesting the Pixel 10 will get both an upgrade and downgrade in the optics segment. On the other hand, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will both have setups that remain largely unchanged from their predecessors.
According to an Android Authority report, the Pixel 10 will use a triple rear camera system which is an upgrade over past year’s base model Pixels. The third sensor will be an 11MP Samsung 3J1 telephoto sensor which is a first for a vanilla model Pixel. However, the other two sensors, namely the primary and ultra-wide angle ones, have been downgraded over the Pixel 9’s camera sensors.
The primary sensor has been replaced by a Samsung GN8, a considerably smaller model than the previously used GNV. Similarly, the ultra-wide anle lens has been downgraded to a Sony IMX712 from the previous IMX858. Both of these Sensors are the same ones used in the the brand’s latest Pixel 9a. The downgraded hardware could result in inferior photos over the Pixel 9 but we’ll have to see whether Google is able to correct it with software. On the front, the Pixel 10 will have an 11MP Samsung 3J1 sensor.
As for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, the two will use the same camera sensors as last year’s Pixel 9 Pro models. This mean’s they’ll also use a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP Samsung GNV primary sensor, a 48MP Sony IMX858 ultra-wide angle sensor, and another 48MP IMX858 sensor for the telephoto lens. At the front, the devices will get another Sony IMX858 48MP sensor for selfies.
Finally, for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, there’s a minor swap from the primary Sony IMX787 (used in the Pixel 8a) to the Samsung GN8 (used in the Pixel 9a). Rest of the setup remains the same as 9 Pro Fold, including a pair of Samsung 3J1 sensors for ultra-wide angle and telephoto capabilities. The device will use a Samsung 3K1 sensor both on the inner and outer displays for selfies.
While the camera setups on the Pro models and the 10 Pro Fold are a safe play, the Pixel 10 sees an upgrade and a downgrade at the same time. The downgrade may have been a trade-off to accommodate the addition of a third sensor, but we hope it doesn’t significantly impact the image quality of the base Pixel 10.
Motorola debuted the EDGE 60 Fusion in India earlier this week and it stands as a tough competitor to the recently launched Oppo F29 5G. The two devices go head-to-head in the same price segment, so here’s a comparison between the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and Oppo F29 5G to help you pick one out of the two.
Display
OPPO F29 5G sports a 6.7-inch FHD+ (2412 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED panel with up to 120Hz refresh rate, up to 240Hz touch sampling rate, 1200 nits peak brightness, under-display optical fingerprint sensor, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and a 394 ppi.
The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion packs a 6.7″ quad-curved pOLED Display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits peak brightness, 10-bit colours, HDR 10+ support, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, a 446 ppi, and 2712×1220 pixels resolution.
Clearly, the Edge 60 Fusion panel is the superior one due to the higher PPI and Resolution along with a higher brightness value. Even during our review, the Oppo F29 5G’s display wasn’t able to handle bright environments, making the display hardly readable under direct sunlight.
Software and Performance
The Edge 60 Fusion is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB of storage that will be expandable up to 1TB. The handset runs on Android 15-based Hello UI. It will receive upgrades until Android 18, which accounts for three years of OS upgrades, along with 4 years of security patches.
The Oppo F29 5G sports 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage and is powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor. It runs on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 and will receive 2 years of OS updates along with 3 years of security patches.
Between the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and Oppo F29 5G, the former is the better one as it packs a more capable chipset. Moreover, it gets longer software support compared to Oppo’s device. If that wasn’t enough, it also gets 12GB RAM whereas Oppo’s F29 5G has 8 gigs. Oppo’s device does equip faster storage but we don’t think that’ll make much of a difference in real-world use based on our usage of smartphones.
Camera and Battery
There is a dual rear camera setup on the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion, including an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony LYT-700C f/1.88 primary sensor and a 13MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle sensor. At the front, it gets a 32MP f/2.2 sensor with auto-focus support. The device packs a 5500mAh battery with support for 68W wired charging.
The Oppo handset has a 50-megapixel f/1.8 Samsung JN5 primary sensor, plus a 2MP f/2.4 Monochrome sensor on the back. There’s a 16MP f/2.4 front-facing sensor. It gets a 6500mAh battery with 45W fast wired charging support.
Oppo F29 5G’s camera setup wasn’t the most appealing when we reviewed the device. In comparison, we feel Motorola’s device sports a more practical setup. As for batteries, the F29 5G scores the win due to the bigger cell. However, it sports slower 45 watts charging compared to Motorola’s 68 watts.
Verdict
The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion comes in two variants: 8GB + 256GB at Rs 22,999 and 12GB + 256GB at Rs 24,999. The Oppo F29 5G costs Rs 23,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model and Rs 25,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model.
Between the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and Oppo F29 5G, we feel Motorola’s device is the one you should go for. It obliterates Oppo’s phone in most areas except battery and storage version. However, if you can give up on the larger battery (which we feel you should), Motorola’s Edge 60 Fusion should serve you better in the long run.
