Apple Inc. will launch the MacBook Air M4 this week, the company confirmed via social media on Monday. The new laptop, expected in 13-inch and 15-inch models, will succeed the MacBook Air M3, which debuted in March 2024. Industry speculation suggests the device may support Apple Intelligence, the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) suite.
CEO Teases Launch on Social Media
Apple CEO Tim Cook posted a teaser video on X, formerly Twitter, with the text, “There’s something in the AIR.” The message suggests the imminent release of the MacBook Air powered by Apple’s M4 chipset. The company will likely retain the current generation’s design while upgrading its processor.
Reports indicate that the upcoming models, internally codenamed J713 and J715, will continue to feature a Liquid Retina display. Apple may also introduce its nano-texture coating, currently available on MacBook Pro models, to the MacBook Air lineup. The device is also expected to replace its existing Thunderbolt 3 ports with Thunderbolt 4.
AI Support Could Dictate Hardware Upgrades
Apple’s AI capabilities could influence the specifications of the MacBook Air M4. The company requires at least 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence devices, suggesting that base configurations may receive memory upgrades.
The rumored chip refresh was first reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in October 2024. Gurman later provided details about the expected launch timeline. Apple is also preparing to introduce an M4-powered Mac Studio, internally codenamed J575, between March and June.
Mac Pro Refresh Uncertain
No confirmation has been made on whether Apple plans to refresh the Mac Pro with an M4 chip. Further announcements could follow the MacBook Air M4’s official debut.
Google has announced at MWC 2025 that it is all set to bring screen-sharing and Live Video in Gemini later this month. These capabilities will be powered by Google’s Project Astra 2.0 which was detailed back in December of last year.
In Google’s words, “Project Astra is a research prototype exploring future capabilities of a universal AI assistant that can understand the world around you.”
With Google’s latest announcement, it is confirmed that it will release screen-sharing and Live video in Gemini Live sometime later this month. As for the availability, Google will start rolling it out to Gemini Advanced subscribers as part of the Google One AI Premium plan on Android devices later this month.
As Google revealed through a video, once Live video in Gemini goes live, launching the fullscreen Gemini Live will reveal a new video shortcut (located next to screen share), allowing you to start a live feed that will make use of the rear cameras of your phone or tablet. You can then begin asking questions to Gemini about what you are seeing on the screen through the camera feed.
As for the screen-sharing feature, when you’ll launch the Gemini overlay on Android, you’ll notice a new “Share screen with Live” button above the Ask Gemini text field. Tapping it will share your screen to Gemini Live.
Unlike the current method, this approach provides a persistent pill with a live count next to the time, allowing quick access to the full UI. Once live, you can ask questions about what’s on your screen and engage in a real-time conversation with the AI assistant.
These capabilities were first teased at last year’s I/O event and will now finally be available for all the eligible users.
Lenovo and Motorola announced Smart Connect last year as a unified digital ecosystem to create a seamless, multi-device experience. Now, the companies have announced that Smart Connect is coming to all Android devices along with new moto ai features for the experience as well.
Smart Connect is already available for download on Windows devices and is now expanding to all Android devices. While features like App mirroring and AI search will remain exclusive to Motorola and Lenovo devices, you’ll still be able to access file search across your devices and enjoy several other new features on a wider range of Android devices (via 9to5Google).
As for the new AI features, with a simple voice or text command, users can now cast their phone’s content to the TV or extend it to their PC or tablet. Next, with AI Search, consumers can use natural language to resurface documents like a bank statement, rental agreement, or hotel bill stored on the Lenovo YOGA Tab Plus (16GB) tablet.
Users can also turn to the new, customisable dashboard that shows them all their compatible devices, including their moto tag, moto buds and PC, in one place. This makes it even easier to manage, add or disconnect devices and check battery life.
Plus, the latest update offers third-party integration, giving more Android users the freedom to experience select Smart Connect features and continuous workflow.
The latest Smart Connect will be available in the coming weeks on any Windows PC (10 or later) through the Microsoft store, and on select Lenovo tablets and Motorola devices through the Google Play Store.
Back in November last year, Motorola also announced an Open Beta program for new Moto AI features supported on a select few smartphone models from the brand.
Samsung’s Galaxy S-series lineup has always consisted of at least three devices with one being the most powerful called the Ultra and the least powerful one being the vanilla one. The Plus model, however, blends best of both worlds and has gotten quite polarising since last year with all the upgrades it got. Can the Samsung Galaxy S25+ also recreate the same success the S24+ did or does it fall flat on its face? We’ll know by the end of this review.
Display & Design
The Samsung Galaxy S25+ design is quite similar to last year’s S24+ with the main difference between the two being the camera rings which are thicker on the latest model.
The in-hand feel remains the same, with flat sides feeling as premium as before. Because the device is on the larger side, one would surely need to fiddle around with it when trying to reach the top two corners.
The buttons feel tactile, and the overall aesthetic of the device is pleasing to the eye but also boring. The device does need a few refreshments in terms of design at this point, but until then, it seems like this design works for Samsung.
The new colours, however, look much better than last year’s. The blue shade we got for review is surely an eye-catcher, and depending on the lighting and the angle, it can cycle to a shade of black. The device is also IP68 rated, which should help it withstand splashes of water and dust with ease.
While we feel Samsung may finally need to rework the design to some extent, the Galaxy S25+ still looks handsome.
The Haptics feel similar as the past few years and while they are tight, they need to be stronger in terms of strength because the haptics in the likes of the OnePlus 13, iPhone 16, Pixel 9, etc., are far superior.
The stereo speaker setup on the Galaxy S25+ is notably better than the S24+ in terms of sound clarity, loudness, and to some extent, bass also, which is quite an unexpected upgrade.
The Galaxy S25+ sports a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x flat display with a QHD+ Resolution (3120 x 1440 pixels). It supports an adaptive Refresh Rate up to 120Hz and touch sampling rate of up to 240Hz. The display also gets max brightness of up to 2600 nits.
While the display hasn’t received any upgrades over last year, it still is one of the better panels we have seen at this price point. It’s sharp, vivid, smooth, and everything else you could think of when you talk of an all-rounder display.
The brightness is on point even in direct sunlight while the slim and even bezels on all sides increase the immersiveness while watching content on this sizable panel. I could barely find any flaws with this panel, and it performs exceptionally well.
Software and Performance
The Samsung Galaxy S25+ draws power from the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The Snapdragon 8 Elite has been a powerhouse of a chip in our experience, both in the Galaxy S25 and the Samsung Galaxy S25+. It has been able to handle everything effortlessly without any hiccups.
While it does get a little hot when you perform demanding tasks, like when playing titles such as GRID Legends, it still doesn’t let the process lag. Even though the device was warm while gaming, the performance didn’t throttle which is a good sign.
During our review of the Samsung Galaxy S25+, we encountered no major bugs in the software, and the experience remained consistently stable. Apps launched quickly, with multitasking performance also remaining excellent. Additionally, the Settings App now supports natural language search, allowing users to type phrases like “keep my phone quiet for a while” to find relevant options to personalise.
Coming to the software side of things, One UI 7 has been a treat to experience. We have already talked in detail about the Galaxy AI features separately and to summarise, while some of them feel gimmicky, features like chat assist, Browser summary, interpreter, could prove useful in situations when you need them.
Now Bar, which was advertised by Samsung to be using a so-called Personal Data Engine, doesn’t seem to be as useful as I initially thought. Same as the S25, the Now Bar appears on the lock screen about four times throughout the day with barely any useful information. It shows me the weather, a shortcut to YouTube Shorts, and that’s about it.
It can detect any birthday events you may have in your Calendar and then suggest you to create birthday cards using Galaxy AI which is a nice touch but it’s not something I’d use on a daily basis.
Samsung could use the Now Bar to show a summary of all the notifications you receive in a certain period but it isn’t doing that as of now. The live activities that are supported is the only useful use case I found for the Now Bar where it handles the media player on the lock screen, can show the timer status if you have one running, scores of matches being played by a team you follow, and more.
We’ll see if Samsung further improves the feature in the future to automated use cases but for now, it’s not a feature I’d call mind-blowing.
As for the rest of the aspects of One UI 7, it features cleaner UI elements and smoother animations. Samsung went a step further by introducing granular controls for animation tuning—an addition that enthusiasts will appreciate, even if it may not matter much to the average user.
Google Gemini is well integrated into the system, especially with the new Samsung app extensions within Gemini.
The redesigned quick panel in One UI 7 efficiently utilizes space, offering a more structured layout. While the separation of notifications and quick settings may take some getting used to, Samsung provides an option to revert to the classic style where both remain combined.
The software is further filled with features up to the brim, from Secure Folder to various lock screen styles, AOD customisation, Good lock support, Samsung DeX, Storage share with Galaxy devices, Bixby modes and routines, Super HDR for certain apps, and much more.
The device will receive 7 years of OS updates and security patches which is a plus point if you plan to keep it with you for years to come.
The only drawback was the presence of bloatware. The device comes preloaded with some third-party apps, including Meta’s suite—Facebook, Meta App Installer, Meta App Manager, and Meta Service—all of which can be disabled if not needed.
Connectivity performance of the device was decent as usual, including that of Wi-Fi, 5G, GPS, and Bluetooth.
Battery
The Galaxy S25+ uses a 4900mAh battery cell with 45W fast wired charging, 15W wireless charging, as well as reverse wireless charging support.
Before Update
The battery backup on the S25+ has been inconsistent for me. While at times it would give me 7 hours of screen-on time, it could drop down to 5.5 with the same usage pattern. Fortunately, the latest February patch has shown some improvement but it needs to be better.
I expected the battery life to be better but it is about the same as the S24+. We do need to keep in mind that in my use, I had the full screen AOD turned on which is a battery hogger along with screen resolution set to QHD+.
After Update
Further, my usage pattern included browsing through the web, scrolling through social media apps like Instagram, chatting and calling on WhatsApp, listening to music, watching YouTube videos, etc., which is all quite basic.
The active use time has definitely dropped last year’s S24+ and the device no longer offers a two-day runtime at any cost. On 5G and while carrying out demanding tasks, the device offers even lesser runtime, with screen-on time averaging at about 5 to 5.5 hours.
Battery life on the S25+ is decent for what the device has to power but not the best as competitors have been able to offer a better experience. We hope to see a larger battery in next year’s device which could bring notable improvements.
As for charging speeds, the S25+ can go from 0 to 100% in just under an hour with a wired connection. Wireless charging is more suitable for frequent and short top-ups rather than charging it from 0 to 100%.
Cameras
The Galaxy S25+ has a 50MP primary wide camera with f/1.8 aperture, multi-directional PDAF and OIS. Then there’s a 10MP telephoto sensor with 3x Optical Zoom support, an f/2.4 aperture, OIS, PDAF and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 Aperture and 120-degree FoV. Next, it has a 12MP f/2.2 front-facing camera.
This is the same camera setup as the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S24, and the Galaxy S24+. It produces results that are also identical to that of the Galaxy S25. The device offers a decent experience for casual photography but the S25+ is definitely not for those who are photographers and they’d be better off with the likes of Vivo’s X200 Pro or the Find X8 Pro.
Low Light Shot
Samsung may need to upgrade the camera hardware on its standard and Plus Galaxy S-series devices, as competitors from Chinese brands are quickly catching up—and, to some extent, have already surpassed them.
As I said, the results from S25+ aren’t poor, but they aren’t as good as the camera centric devices from other brands and if I plan on paying a price of Rs 99,999 for the Galaxy S25+, I’d need that experience.
We’ve already done a detailed camera comparison between the Galaxy S25 and the iPhone 16 and the Galaxy S25+ offers the same experience as the former. The S25 stood out with its telephoto lens and vibrant color reproduction and so does the Galaxy S25+.
In summary, the S25 cameras deliver strong performance in most lighting conditions but could improve detail in ultra-wide shots.
Low-light shots are surprisingly well detailed, including those shot in challengingly low lighting. The shots from the device also stand out in colour reproduction.

Circuit House Technologies, a company started by former Xiaomi and Flipkart veterans, is now entering the home entertainment category with a new consumer tech brand, Lumio, starting with Smart TVs. “The debut will focus on re-wiring customers’ expectations in this category,” said the company. Lumio Smart TVs will run on Google TV operating system.
The company highlights how India’s Smart TV segment is a USD 5 billion market and is expected to grow at a rate of 13% CAGR over the next 3-4 years. This growth is increasingly driven by premiumization trends, with consumers gravitating towards larger screens, QLED/OLED/MiniLED technologies, and advanced features that are rapidly becoming mainstream preferences.
The market’s evolution is clearly reflected in the dominance of 4K TVs, which now make up nearly 70% of total television sales and are expected to continue their strong growth in the future. Circuit House notes that even though the market is flooded with over 100 brands in this segment, “most consumers are yet to find their trusted brand.”
This is reflected in consumer behavior, where the majority of category searches still remain generic, indicating that buyers are still searching for products that truly align with their needs and aspirations. “This is precisely the opportunity that Lumio aims to address, stepping in with a deep understanding of Indian customers’ latent expectations and preferences.”
Lumio has assembled a team with experience across product development, brand building, software, quality, sales and after-sales management with decades of relevant experience across companies like Flipkart, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Philips, Tivo, LG, and Samsung.
Lumio Smart TVs will be powered by Google TV which will offer 400,000+ movies and shows across 10,000+ apps. Dixon Technologies, India’s largest electronics manufacturer, will drive the production of these TVs and they will be sold exclusively through Amazon India.
The new brand promises a fresh take on Smart TVs which will be interesting to witness, especially when brands like Infinix, Thomson, Kodak, and more, are offering quite similar products in the category but at aggressive prices. The full lineup of Lumio Smart TVs will be unveiled in March 2025.

OpenAI has announced that it is releasing a research preview of GPT‑4.5 — its largest and best model for chat yet. “GPT‑4.5 is a step forward in scaling up pre-training and post-training. By scaling unsupervised learning, GPT‑4.5 improves its ability to recognize patterns, draw connections, and generate creative insights without reasoning,” said OpenAI.
OpenAI notes that early testing of the model shows that interacting with GPT‑4.5 feels more natural. Its broader knowledge base, improved ability to follow user intent, and greater “EQ” make it useful for tasks like improving writing, programming, and solving practical problems. It is also expected to hallucinate less than the previous models.
“We’re sharing GPT‑4.5 as a research preview to better understand its strengths and limitations. We’re still exploring what it’s capable of and are eager to see how people use it in ways we might not have expected,” said the company.
GPT-4.5 makes use of unsupervised learning paradigm which increases world model accuracy and intuition. “GPT‑4.5 is an example of scaling unsupervised learning by scaling up compute and data, along with architecture and optimization innovations. GPT‑4.5 was trained on Microsoft Azure AI supercomputers. The result is a model that has broader knowledge and a deeper understanding of the world, leading to reduced hallucinations and more reliability across a wide range of topics,” said OpenAI.
OpenAI developed new, scalable techniques that enable training larger and more powerful models with data derived from smaller models. These techniques improve GPT‑4.5’s steerability, understanding of nuance, and natural conversation.
The company claims that GPT‑4.5 has a better understanding of what humans mean and interprets subtle cues or implicit expectations with greater nuance and “EQ”. GPT‑4.5 also shows stronger aesthetic intuition and creativity. It excels at helping with writing and design.
As for the differentiating factor between GPT-4.5 and its predecessors, GPT-4.5 operates without premeditated thought, distinguishing its strengths from reasoning models like OpenAI o1. When compared to OpenAI o1 and OpenAI o3-mini, GPT-4.5 proves to be a more versatile and inherently intelligent model according to the company.
GPT-4.5 in ChatGPT: Availability
Starting today, ChatGPT Pro users will be able to select GPT‑4.5 in the model picker on web, mobile, and desktop. It will begin rolling out to Plus and Team users next week, then to Enterprise and Edu users the following week.
GPT‑4.5 has access to the latest up-to-date information with search, supports file and image uploads, and can use canvas to work on writing and code. However, GPT‑4.5 does not currently support multimodal features like Voice Mode, video, and screensharing in ChatGPT.
OpenAI is also previewing GPT‑4.5 in the Chat Completions API, Assistants API, and Batch API to developers on all paid usage tiers. However, it’s unclear whether the company will serve the model in API in the long-term due to how “large and compute-intensive” the model is.
