18/03/2024: The brand has officially confirmed that it will be launching the Motorola EDGE 50 Pro in India soon. However, an exact date wasn’t shared by the brand.
Original Story Below
Motorola is gearing up for a new launch event that’s to be held in Delhi on April 3, 2024. At the event, the brand is expected to debut a flagship in India, which could be the Motorola Edge 50 Pro. Details about the handset have also leaked in the past, suggesting it may come with a top-notch Snapdragon Chipset under the hood.
Motorola Edge 50 Pro: India Launch
The brand shared an invite with the message, “Save The Date To Witness The Fusion Of Art And Intelligence”. The words ‘Art’ and ‘Intelligence’ are bold, suggesting they could stand for AI when combined.
In China, the brand is launching the Moto X50 Ultra soon and dubbed it as an AI phone. In the US, the same device is expected to launch as Motorola Edge+ (2024), but in some other parts of the world, including India, it could debut as the Motorola Edge 50 Pro. This means the brand should ideally launch the Motorola Edge 50 Pro at its April 3 launch event in India, but the brand has confirmed nothing so far regarding the model name.
The design and some of the specifications of the Edge 50 Pro have leaked online. The detailed leak came from AndroidHeadlines who showed us that the device will be coming in three shades: purple, black, and a silver/white/stone colour. It will have a design that is often associated with Motorola, with a camera array emerging from the back panel itself, housing three camera Sensors and an LED flash. The front will have a curved panel with a hole-punch at the top for the selfie camera.
As for the specs, the device should sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED Display with a Refresh Rate of 165Hz. The information regarding the display’s Resolution is unclear as of now, but it could be Quad-HD+.
The handset may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB storage, and a 4500mAh battery with support for 125W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. At the rear, the device may have a 50MP main sensor with OIS, paired with an ultra-wide angle sensor and a telephoto sensor.
In today’s digital age, ensuring the security of your online accounts is more important than ever. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring not just a password, but also a second factor—typically something you have, like a mobile device. Snapchat, one of the most popular social media platforms, offers Two-factor authentication support to help protect your account from unauthorised access. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to enable 2FA on your Snapchat account.
Step 1
Open the Snapchat App and tap on your profile picture at the top left corner.
Step 2
Now, tap on the ‘Settings’ gear icon at the top right.
Step 3
Now, you’ll see an option called ‘Two-factor Authentication’. If you don’t, scroll down. Once you find it, tap on it.
Step 4
Here, you’ll see four options where the text verification method will send you a code on your phone number in the form of a regular SMS when you are trying to login. Once you enter that code, you’ll be logged. However, this method may not work in areas where you have no or poor network reception as you may not be able to receive SMS’es.
In case you don’t want to face that, you can check the box next to ‘Authentication app’ where apps like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator can be used. These apps generate temporary codes which can be used to login to Snapchat. Tap on this method and then choose one of the three options shown to you based on what suits you.
Third option is the ‘Recovery Code’ option which can be used in case if you change your phone number and have to shift all your or data, or in a situation where your phone gets stolen. You’ll have to keep this code handy at all times so you don’t lose access to your account.
Finally, with the fourth option, you can forget devices, meaning you can remove devices where your login information might have been saved. Once you remove them, they’ll require you to re-verify these devices in case you ever want to login to them using the 2FA method of your choice.
Step 5
Once you have setup the 2FA method of your choice, you are now done! Whenever you try to login to a new device, you’ll now be asked to enter an additional code apart from your password, thereby enhancing the security of your Snapchat account using two-factor authentication.
Samsung is gearing up to launch its next lineup of foldables later this year according to leaks. While the launch is expected to take place during the second half of this year, a good amount of leaks have already shed light on what the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could bring to the table. Here’s every detail that has been leaked so far about the upcoming Flip from Samsung.
Galaxy Z Flip 6: Leaked Design
Months ahead of the launch, the design of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has been leaked and while some might be disappointed, the minor refresh could be enough for many. Samsung introduced a major design change in Flip 5 over Flip 4 and that was the redesigned cover screen which was much more functional and practical, thanks to its bigger design. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 will carry forward the same design of the cover screen which is shaped like a PC Folder icon.
The cameras will be in the same position as the Galaxy Z Flip 5 while the buttons and port placement remain ideological too. However, the only major change would be the flattening of the frame, which will align with the Galaxy S24 and S24+ design, which also have an identical frame. Some leaks suggest that the device will have an improved hinge and a better internal layout as well.
Galaxy Z Flip 6: Leaked Specifications
As per a latest leak by @TheGalox_ on X, the Z Flip 6 will have a 3.9-inch cover screen which would be slightly bigger over last year’s Flip 5 cover display. It will further have a 6.7-inch inner screen. Both screens should retain their 120Hz Refresh Rate and peak brightness as the Flip 5. The cover display could be protected with Gorilla Armour, the same protective covering Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with.
Under the hood, the smartphone should run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset. For the first time, Samsung could offer up to 12GB RAM in its Flip foldable, compared to only 8GB until now. Additionally, it will also be having a bigger cooling system for efficient thermal management.
It should run on OneUI 6.1.1 based on Android 14 out of the box. It will have Galaxy AI and could receive 7 years of major OS upgrades and security patches. The Z Flip 6 will also get an upgraded 50MP main sensor paired with the same 12MP ultra-wide angle sensor as it’s predecessor. Aside from that, it may be equipped with a bigger 4000mAh battery (vs. 3700mAh on Flip 5) and 25W fast charging.
Galaxy Z Flip 6: Expected Launch Timeline
Samsung used to hold a Galaxy Unpacked event every year in August until last year when it preponed the launch event to July. The same may happen this year and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could debut sometime during July and go on sale in August. However, this is just a speculation and hasn’t been confirmed by any sources.
Lava recently launched its Blaze Curve 5G in India at a starting price of Rs 17,999 and Poco followed through with its own handset, namely the Poco X6 Neo 5G, which has a starting price of Rs 15,999. For a Rs 2,000 premium, is the Lava Blaze Curve 5G worth it or should you opt for the X6 Neo 5G? Let’s compare the two devices.
Design & Display
While design is always subjective, we think both devices cater to different types of audiences in this area. While the Lava Blaze Curve 5G has a more minimal and cleaner look, the Poco X6 Neo 5G has a flashier design with colour choices to suit this design language. However, we feel the curved back glass panel of the Blaze Curve 5G would feel more premium in the hand than the X6 Neo 5G, according to our experience with the former in its full review.
The Lava Blaze Curve 5G sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz Refresh Rate. The display has 1.07 billion colour depth and supports HDR, HDR 10, HDR 10+, and Widevine L1. It can reach up to 800 nits peak brightness and has 394 PPI.
The Poco X6 Neo sports a 6.67-inch full-HD+ AMOLED Display with 1080×2400 pixels resolution. Further, there is a 120Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, instantaneous touch sampling rate of up to 2160Hz, 1920Hz PWM dimming, Gorilla Glass 5 protection and a hole-punch at the front.
While the display specs remain similar, it’s up to you whether you prefer a flat panel or a curved one. The latter does feel and look more premium, but the former is easier to protect with additional accessories such as tempered glass.
Power & Software
Lava’s handset is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC, coupled with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 onboard storage. On the other hand, Poco’s phone packs a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 SoC under the hood. It is coupled with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 internal storage.
This is where Lava takes the lead in raw power, as it gets you a faster Chipset and faster RAM and storage types. However, the RAM does fall short at 8GB compared to 12GB in the top model of Poco X6 Neo. As for software, MIUI in Poco’s device will offer you more features, but Lava has considerably improved its software as well, thanks to the switch to full-stock Android accounting for a decently polished experience.
Cameras
For optics, the Lava Blaze Curve 5G packs a triple rear camera unit. The primary lens is a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686, accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor and a 2MP macro sensor. The front features a 32-megapixel sensor for selfies.
Poco’s X6 Neo 5G has a dual rear camera setup. The primary sensor is 108 megapixels, and the depth shooter is 2 megapixels. The front camera is a 16-megapixel selfie camera.
While Lava’s auxiliary cameras didn’t perform well in its review, its primary sensor did. Moreover, the ultra-wide-angle sensor is significantly better than the depth shooter on Poco’s smartphone, regardless of the quality. So, in this segment, we’d give the win to Lava’s device.
Battery
Both have a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, so there’s no competition here. However, the battery’s performance depends on software optimization, and we cannot comment on who’s the winner based on that as we haven’t used the X6 Neo 5G yet.
Verdict
The Poco X6 Neo 5G costs Rs 15,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model and Rs 17,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model. On the other hand, Lava Blaze Curve 5G starts at Rs 17,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model while the 8GB + 256GB model costs Rs 18,999.
For a thousand bucks more than the top model of Poco X6 Neo 5G, you get the top-end model of Blaze Curve 5G, which is actually a better offering than Poco’s handset in most ways, including the display, software and performance, and cameras, making it a value-for-money product. However, if you are strict with your budget, Poco’s handset shouldn’t disappoint you either.
OnePlus has recently announced the launch of the Nord CE 4 in India and has revealed it’s design as well as it’s Processor details. It seems like another new OnePlus device is also in the works which could launch in China as the OnePlus Ace 3V but could debut globally as the OnePlus Nord 4.
The OnePlus Ace 3V front design was revealed by OnePlus China President Li Jie Louis on Weibo. As per the image shared by him, the device seems to be sporting thin bezels all around the display. The power key and volume buttons are located on the right side of the phone while the brand’s signature Alert Slider resides on the left side. Some leaks suggest that the rear design of the handset could look similar to that of the Nord CE 4.
Apart from this, Li Jie confirmed that the device will be coming with some AI features built in. Then, OnePlus also confirmed via its China website that the device will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC that will use the same architecture as Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
Other specs of the device were leaked back in January of this year, including an OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Further, it may be backed up by a 5,500mAh battery that supports 100W charging. The device could get a triple rear camera setup including a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens along with an auxiliary sensor.
This device may launch in India and in other parts of the world as the OnePlus Nord 4. While OnePlus hasn’t been fond of the number ‘4’, it broke that trend when it announced the Nord CE 4 earlier this week. However, details about the India launch of the device are scarce at the moment.
Lava has been on a streak of launches in India and most of them have been recommendable for the most part. In an attempt to recreate the same success, the brand launched the Lava Blaze Curve 5G recently and while we were impressed with it in our initial impression, here’s what we think of the handset in a detailed review where we conclude whether we can recommend it at its starting price point of Rs 17,999.
Build & Design
The Lava Blaze Curve 5G has a glass sandwich design with a plastic frame. The glass on both the front and back is curved, and these curves are quite prominent. They not only help with the premium feel in the hand but also make it feel slim and enhance the grip. The device is on the narrower side, so it fits fine in one hand.
The buttons on the right are a little wobbly and we don’t know whether that was an issue with our particular unit, but they were tactile enough when pressed. The frame has a glossy finish and it gets a stereo speaker setup. There’s a speaker grill at the bottom and at the top but the latter is just a placeholder meaning the real speaker isn’t beneath that grill. The reason for this is that the audio originates from the earpiece.
The audio quality from the two speakers is excellent. They also support Dolby Atmos and are adequately loud with reasonable stereo separation and a slight hint of bass. The haptics, on the other hand, are below average, and this is where cost-cutting has been done. While the Agni 2 5G had an X-axis motor, the Blaze Curve 5G gets a rattly low-end motor that doesn’t match the device’s premium feel.
The cameras’ design isn’t the most unique, as they remind you of an iPhone, but because the Sensors are placed separately and not in a single module, they do look appealing. Lava is keeping things minimal with the Blaze Curve 5G, especially in the grey shade we had for review.
While we feel that it’s time Lava should adopt a single design language and play with it slightly in each phone (because that helps with brand identity), we had no issues with the build quality of the Lava Blaze Curve 5G and the way it looks. Overall, the device is impressively built and doesn’t disappoint in this segment.
Display
The Blaze Curve 5G sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ screen with a 120 Hz Refresh Rate, HDR 10+, and Widevine L1 support. While Widevine Support does show up in Netflix, it unfortunately says that HDR capabilities aren’t supported.
Despite that, this is clearly one of the best display panels we have seen in this price range. In terms of colour reproduction, we may go as far as to say that there’s no better panel you can get at this price point than the one you get on Lava Blaze Curve 5G. It’s sharp, has curves, and is impressively vibrant and contrasty.
The viewing angles are quite decent while the brightness level outdoors is acceptable. We would say that’s the only weak link of the display as it could have been brighter but apart from that, this panel doesn’t disappoint in most other areas.
The software also handles Accidental Touch prevention well, while the in-display fingerprint sensor is average in terms of how quickly it reads the print and unlocks the device. While the detection accuracy is good, the unlocking speed can be better.
Software & Performance
The Blaze Curve 5G gets a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 at its helm, paired with 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It runs on the Android 13 operating system out of the box and will receive two major Android OS upgrades.
Overall performance in day-to-day use has been absolutely fluid during our review period of the Lava Blaze Curve 5G. The animations are well handled except in a few cases, such as the folder opening and closing one or, if you have App lock enabled, the fingerprint pop-up animation that appears when you open a specific app that is locked.
In addition, it delivered a lag-free experience with impressive RAM management. There was no heating involved in daily use. However, the device does struggle with heavier game titles, which is normal for a device in this price range.
We have always criticized Lava for its software. To be precise, we haven’t liked the brand’s approach to the user interface and how inconsistent it looks. However, Lava has now taken all the feedback and improved upon it significantly. The software is now completely Stock Android based on version 13, and Lava has removed its custom settings UI it had earlier.
The shift to stock Android is a welcome move, considering things look way more consistent now and match the rest of the user interface. The lock screen clock looks like it does in Google Pixel devices, and so does the Settings app.
While Lava retains some of its custom features, such as Dura Speed, where the system can put unused apps to sleep, gestures such as three-finger swipe and double tap to wake and sleep, charging animation selection, app lock, and even EDGE lighting, it has also removed some of them, such as the ability to set various clock styles on the lock screen.
Pre-installed Apps
There are also various types of Always-on display styles on offer that look decent. Moreover, it only has some of Lava’s own pre-installed apps, and there’s no third-party bloatware, which is great.
As for the issues, the software has improved a lot but still needs more refinement. There is some use of grammar across the user interface which may be confusing at first glance for a new user. Also, for some reason, the device has two Phone apps and none of them can be disabled.
Aside from that, the battery stats page shows wrong stats for some apps. As you can notice in the screenshot above, YouTube was being used for around 13 hours, and background use was less than a minute, which is actually the opposite of what it should show.
Finally, there’s also a bug with the Always-on display that doesn’t turn off when it’s in a dark environment, draining excessive battery. However, these bugs can easily be solved through a software update, and we hope Lava is working on one right now.
Although the device will receive updates until Android 15, we would have loved it even more if it came with Android 14 instead of Android 13 out of the box. The handset’s connectivity performance was fine, and we faced no issues with it.
Battery Backup
A 5000mAh battery with 33W Fast charging backs the Lava Blaze Curve 5G. Once again, the battery life of this Lava handset is excellent. It can easily last a day’s use and can reach the 2-day mark, too, but with less extensive use. With heavy use, you can kill it in a day.
With our use, however, we were ending days with around 40% or 30% left with a screen-on time of around 6 hours, which is quite impressive. Our usage during the review of Lava Blaze Curve 5G included social media browsing, some calling, slight gaming, video streaming and browsing the internet, too. Note that if you enabled AOD, the battery consumption would shoot up heavily, and we feel this needs to be optimised. The device can take up slightly more than an hour to charge from 0 to 100% with the included charger, which is acceptable for its price range.
Cameras
For optics, the Lava Blaze Curve 5G packs a triple rear camera unit. The primary lens is a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686, accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor and a 2MP macro sensor. The front features a 32-megapixel sensor for selfies.
Shots from the main sensor are quite impressive in terms of detailing and sharpness. They do have a slightly more warmer tone than what’s necessary but it’s acceptable for the most part. The colours look vibrant and the dynamic range is average. Overall, it does an improvement over the Agni 2 5G.
Ultra-wide Shot 1Ultra-wide Shot 2
Coming to ultra-wide angle photos, there’s a stark difference between shots clicked from the main sensor and the ultra-wide angle sensor, in terms of details and colours. The Wide-Angle shots actually showcase poor quality, with a smudgy effect and some level of noise as well. The colours look slightly faded and the overall tone shifts drastically to the cooler side, therefore, the major colour shift in ultra wide photos compared to those from primary sensor.
The tertiary macro sensor wasn’t needed, but it’s there, and it works. The detailing isn’t the best in macro shots, and so are the colours. Portrait shots, however, have a good amount of natural-looking bokeh effect in the background of the subject but the edge detection could be much better as it does cover up the topic in some scenarios.
Photos taken under artificial lighting also have a decent amount of sharpness, while colours remain more on the natural side. However, as soon as the lighting begins to dip, so does the quality of the photos. Noise begins to creep in, and details and sharpness take a major hit.
Selfies from the front camera are okay at best in terms of skin tone, as it looks faded and is nowhere near the original tone of the human subject. Once again, the detailing is average and similar to edge detection in portrait selfies. As for nighttime photos, as we mentioned, the photos are barely usable even if you turn on the night mode. It does increase brightness level by a slight margin but there’s hardly anything visible in the shot.
MSI has launched a new gaming handheld device in India, dubbed as the MSI Claw A1M, which comes with the latest Windows 11 Home operating system along with an Intel Core Ultra chipset. The device competes with the likes of the ASUS ROG Ally in the country. Here’s everything you need to know about the new gaming device from MSI.
MSI Claw A1M: Price
The MSI Claw A1M’s base model starts at Rs 88,990, while the top-end variant can cost up to Rs 99,990. The company has not yet revealed the handheld gaming console’s availability and sale date.
MSI Claw A1M: Specs
The Claw A1M sports a 7-inch IPS-level display with an FHD resolution and 120Hz variable Refresh Rate so it changes refresh rate dynamically without the need for manual intervention. It supports 100% sRGB and, along with 500 nits, typical brightness. It is powered by up the new Intel Core Ultra 7 chipset, paired with 1 x NVMe M.2 2230 SSD by PCle Gen 4 along with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM.
The handheld device runs on Windows 11 Home OS out of the box and has integrated Intel Arc graphics. It is equipped with a 6-axis IMU vibration motor for an immersive feel while gaming. Audio is handled by twin 2W Speakers, which are also Hi-res ready. Wireless connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth V5.4.
As for I/O, you get 1 x audio combo jack, 1 x Thunderbolt 4 / DP/ USBType-C port (w/ PD 3.0 Charging) and 1 x microSD Card Reader. It is backed up by a 6-cell 53Wh battery which supports 65W USB PD 3.0 charging. The device has a weight of 675 grams.
MSI Claw A1M: Should You Consider It Over Asus ROG Ally?
Asus launched the ROG Ally back in June of last year in India, and it has a price tag of Rs 69,990. While it’s decently lower priced, it has its own drawbacks, such as a smaller battery, which is also a weak link for the handheld. The Claw A1M gets you a bigger cell meaning longer runtime.
Aside from that, both are adequately capable of running high-end games, but the Claw A1M gets you the latest Intel chip. We won’t comment as to which one’s more powerful as we haven’t used either of these. In addition, the MSI Claw A1M also has a better connectivity solution, including Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth v5.4. If you can shell out more, we feel the MSI Claw A1M is a better offering on the basis of on-paper specs.
