The Asus Zenbook A14 boasts a 14-inch FHD (1920 x 1200) OLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 600nits HDR peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1,000,000:1, VESA- certified DisplayHDR True Black 600, 1.07 billion colors, 70% less harmful blue light, TÜV Rheinland-certified, SGS Eye Care Display, and a 90% screen-to-body ratio.

Samsung Galaxy M16 5G, Galaxy M06 5G India Launch Teased

Samsung has begun teasing the launch of the Galaxy M16 5G and the Galaxy M06 5G in India after the recent launch of the Galaxy A06 5G. The new devices are confirmed to be sold via Amazon while some of their respective specifications have also been leaked. Here’s everything to know about the new upcoming devices from Samsung.

The launch of the devices was confirmed through an Amazon microsite with a “Can’t beat the monsters” tagline which also confirms they are “coming soon.” The teaser contains the schematics of the two devices where the left one is likely for the M16 5G while the right one is for the M06 5G. The device on the left appears to have triple rear cameras while the one on the right gets dual rear cameras. The M06 5G may have a design similar to that of the F06 5G,

As for the leaked specifications of the two, the Samsung Galaxy M06 5G with the model number SM-M166P/DS recently made an appearance on the Samsung India support page and also surfaced in a Geekbench listing last month. Furthermore, this listing suggested the device could get a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 under the hood, similar to the Galaxy F06 5G and the A06 5G which also launched recently in the country. Details of the Galaxy M16 5G are still scarce.

Aside from that, Samsung’s one of the most affordable 5G smartphone launches took place a while back, which was the Galaxy F06 5G. The Galaxy F06 5G has a 6.74-inch HD+ display, housing an 8MP front-facing camera in a notch. It supports up to 90Hz Refresh Rate and 800 nits of brightness.

Apple Preps Gemini Integration in Apple Intelligence: Report

Earlier in June last year, it was confirmed officially that Apple will offer consumers multiple options to choose from when it comes to models in Apple Integration and the first choice post ChatGPT integration may be incoming. As per a new report, Apple is now prepping Gemini integration in Apple Intelligence.

In a backend update rolled out with the 18.4 beta, Apple has added both “Google” and “OpenAI” as third-party model options within Apple Intelligence. This discovery comes from Aaron Perris on X.

While this doesn’t guarantee that Gemini integration in Apple Intelligence will arrive in iOS 18.4—especially given previous Apple Intelligence delays—it strongly suggests that support is on the way, possibly in a later iOS 18 update or with iOS 19. Apple is also expected to debut its own conversational Siri model in iOS 19.

According to Federighi’s previous statement, Apple chose ChatGPT to power some of the initial features of Apple Intelligence because it wanted to “start with the best.” There’s no word on when Apple might announce a partnership with Google for the latter’s Gemini model, but we do know that Apple has been in talks with Google and hasn’t closed the doors on an agreement, thanks to an earlier leaked report.

As of now, Siri can tap into ChatGPT’s expertise when it’s needed. Users will be asked for consent before any questions are sent to ChatGPT, along with any documents or photos, and Siri then presents the answer directly. The model Siri is leveraging is GPT-4o. For those who choose to access ChatGPT, Apple says their IP addresses will be hidden, and OpenAI won’t store requests.

Samsung Galaxy S25 vs Apple iPhone 16e: Which One Should You Buy?

Samsung Galaxy S25 vs Apple iPhone 16e: Which One Should You Buy?

Samsung and Apple have been rivals for a long time, and with Apple’s latest iPhone 16e, both brands are once again going head-to-head within the same price range. The Apple iPhone 16e and the Samsung Galaxy S25 are priced quite closely, which could make it difficult for buyers to choose one, but we are here to simplify that decision for you.

Display

The iPhone 16e has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel. It supports HDR, TruTone, 60Hz refresh rate, 2532 x 1170 pixels at 460 ppi, and 1200 nits of peak HDR brightness.

Apple iPhone 16e

The Galaxy S25 has a 6.2-inch FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080) Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It supports HDR10+, has a Pixel density of 418 PPI, and is covered in a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The refresh rate of the display can change dynamically between 1 Hz and 120 Hz. The display supports up to 2600 nits peak brightness.

The Galaxy S25 clearly has the better panel with a higher refresh rate along with a higher brightness. Both these features on the S25 will result in a far superior experience in daily use compared to iPhone 16e’s display. Moreover, S25’s display also has narrower and equal bezels on all sides which is again something the iPhone 16e lacks.

Software & Performance

Under the hood, the Apple iPhone 16e is powered by the company’s A18 Bionic Chipset and further has support for Apple Intelligence. It further has 8GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. On the other hand, the Galaxy S25 features the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood, paired with 12GB RAM along with 256GB, and 512GB storage options. It supports Galaxy AI suite of AI features.

Galaxy S25 128GB model

While both of them don’t compromise on the storage front, the Galaxy S25 takes the lead if we talk of RAM. More RAM means you get a better multitasking experience on the S25 compared to the Apple iPhone 16e.

The battle between the chipsets is more or less a tie considering both the processors are quite capable. However, the A18 in the iPhone 16e isn’t identical to the A18 in the iPhone 16 as the chipset in the former has one less core. While both the devices will perform exceptionally when it comes to daily tasks or even gaming, we’ll have to test them side by side to check whether there’s any difference in real world.

When we compared the iPhone 16 and the Galaxy S25, both devices did equally well in the performance department. Same is the case with software, where both devices run on the latest software versions the two companies have to offer. It depends on the buyer whether they prefer iOS’ minimal experience or Android’s customisation.

Battery and Cameras

The Apple iPhone 16e has a single OIS-assisted 48MP f/1.6 primary camera which is said to support a 2-in-1 system that also enables 12MP 2x telephoto zoom. There is a 12MP TrueDepth camera on the front of the iPhone 16e with an f/1.9 lens.

Galaxy S25 camera setup comprises 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.

While we haven’t tested the iPhone 16e camera yet, we can still give the Galaxy S25 the winner tag in this round due to the extra it has on the back that give it a hardware-based advantage, which the iPhone 16e can’t beat any which ways.

Speaking of battery, Apple as usual didn’t unveil the exact capacity of the cell used in iPhone 16e, but it is claimed to offer a better backup than the vanilla iPhone 16. Because we haven’t used the devices side by side and we don’t know the battery capacity of the 16e, we can’t comment on which device has a better battery life. The same goes for charging speeds as well.

Verdict

The Apple iPhone 16e comes in white and black in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage capacities, costing Rs 59,900, Rs 69,900, and Rs 89,900, respectively.

The S25 starts at Rs 80,999 for the 12GB + 256GB trim and Rs 92,999 for the 12GB + 512GB model.

The Galaxy S25 costs more than the Apple iPhone 16e but delivers on all fronts for the premium it is charging, unless you prefer for which we’ll suggest to opt for the iPhone 15 or the iPhone 16 instead because even those devices get better camera hardware than the 16e.

GTA 5 on PC Gets a Performance Upgrade, PlayStation and Xbox Exclusive Content, and More

Amidst the hype for GTA 6 coming later this year, Rockstar Games has released a new update for GTA 5 on PC which brings a performance upgrade along with a whole lot of new content that was earlier limited to the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. Here are all the details to know.

All players who currently own GTA 5 on PC will be able to upgrade to this new version for free, with the ability to migrate your Story Mode and Online progress. Once upgraded, current PC players — along with anyone playing the game for the first time — will have access to a full suite of much-requested GTA Online upgrades previously only available on the latest consoles:

  • A range of new vehicles and upgrades at Hao’s Special Works (HSW) that push automotive performance to new heights, and test your driving skills with Premium Test Rides, HSW Races, and HSW Time Trials.
  • Encounter Ambient Animals all across Southern San Andreas and take pictures of them to participate in the daily Wildlife Photography Challenge for new rewards.
  • PC players can sign up for GTA+ Membership to get special benefits in the upgraded version of GTA Online and beyond.
  • Track your criminal movements across all of GTA Online’s updates with the Career Progress feature as you build your empire.
  • Navigate a refreshed Landing Page as your starting destination to get straight into the action. Plus, take advantage of an improved introductory flow for newer players with a GTA$4,000,000 windfall to buy property, vehicles, and other items when you start off as an Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner, or Biker in the Career Builder.

This upgraded version of GTA 5 on PC also features all of the recent player experience improvements for GTA Online, including kernel-based anti-cheat protections and proactive voice chat moderation.

New vehicles have also been added in this version which were available only on PS 5 and Xbox Series S/X, including:

  • Coil Cyclone II (Super)
  • Imponte Arbiter GT (Muscle)
  • Karin S95 (Sports)
  • Pegassi Weaponized Ignus (Super)
  • Pfister Astron Custom (SUV)

As for the performance upgrades, depending on hardware support, GTA 5 players on PC who upgrade will be able to experience:

  • Ray tracing features only available on PC such as ambient occlusion and global illumination — plus ray traced shadows and reflections first debuted on consoles
  • Support for AMD FSR1 and FSR3, and NVIDIA DLSS 3
  • Faster loading times using SSD and DirectStorage on supported devices and configurations
  • Enhanced support for higher resolutions, higher aspect ratios, and higher framerates
  • DualSense controller support, with adaptive triggers
  • Enhanced audio with support for Dolby Atmos and improved fidelity of speech, cinematics, and music

Rockstar Games notes that support for the previous version of GTA 5 will continue, allowing anyone whose hardware does not currently meet the minimum requirements of the new upgrade to keep playing. Next, to maintain the support for the older version, the original version of GTA Online on PC will be a separate instance, and players who remain on that version will not be able to play in sessions together with those on the upgraded version.

PC Players who want to play with each other will need to ensure they’re playing the same version of the game. Both versions will be available to everyone who upgrades — and first-time purchasers will get access to both versions as well.

Coming to the Phone (3a) Pro, this is where we see an entirely new design for the camera module which hasn’t been seen before. It’s an L-shaped design accompanied by an flashlight in an arc-shaped layout. The bottom portion design looks identical to the Phone (3a) and so do the glyph lights. It can be seen in grey and black shades.

The overall form factor of the devices also looks boxier compared to the more rounded corners of the Phone (2a) and the Phone (2a) Plus. Both of them have displays with even bezels on all sides.

Google Announces Search Screen with Google Lens Option in Google App and Chrome on iOS

Google is releasing a couple of new updates for Lens including a new Search Screen with Google Lens option in Google and Chrome on iOS. If you have an iPhone, you’ll find a new Lens option that lets you select and search what’s on your screen. Plus, Google has announced that Overviews are coming to more Lens results.

With the new Lens update, one can simply search for whatever’s on their screen through drawing, highlighting, or tapping. “Whether you’re reading an article, shopping for a product, or watching a video, you can use this feature to quickly perform a visual search while browsing, without having to take a screenshot or open a new tab,” said Google. The feature works similarly to how Circle to Search works on Android.

Search screen with Lens

To get started in Chrome, open the three-dot menu and select the option labelled ‘Search Screen with Google Lens’. In the coming months, you’ll also see a new Lens icon in the address bar to access the same feature. It works the same way in the Google app for iOS. Just tap the three-dot menu, choose “Search this Screen” and then select what you’d like to search. This update is rolling out this week and will be available globally on both Chrome and the Google app for iOS.

As for the second Lens update, with the help from Google’s advanced AI models, Lens can now “go much further and provide information on the contents of more novel or unique images.” For those kinds of queries, AI Overviews will begin to appear more often in your Lens results, with no need to add a question to your visual search.

Tap the camera icon in the Search bar to snap a photo with Lens and then you’ll get an AI Overview to help you quickly make sense of what you’re looking at, along with links to helpful resources on the web.

This update is rolling out this week for English-language users in countries where AI Overviews are available, starting with the Google app for and iOS, and coming soon to Chrome on desktop and mobile devices.
