Oppo Find N5 Design Revealed in All Its Glory

Oppo Find N5 design has been revealed in full, officially by Oppo. The Find N5 is touted to be the slimmest foldable in the world and the company has showcased that, as well as other design elements of the device through a teaser video shared on its China website. The device could come to global markets as the OnePlus Open.

Oppo Find N5 design differs from its predecessor in terms of thickness as well as the rear camera module. The module, instead of being a whole circle like in the predecessor, has a slight squircle design within a circular module. One can see the three camera and a flash on the back. These camera sensors could be a mixture of a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor, and a 50MP telephoto sensor.

The device is available in three colour options, one with a purple leather finish, in black, and in white. Both the device’s front display as well as the foldable display seem to have equal bezels on all sides. The power button and volume rocket seems to reside on the right while the left has the alert slider. The device’s thin profile has also been shown from various angles.

We’ll know more about the device once it launches on February 20 in the country. The brand will also launch the Oppo Find Watch X2 on the same date whose design has also been featured on the website. This one may debut as OnePlus Watch 3 globally. It appears to have the same ribbed side design along with a crown and a button. The bezels of the watch have indents all along with minute markings as well.

YouTube Tests a Tweaked PiP Window Design in YouTube App on Android (Once Again)

YouTube revamped its PiP Window design within its a few months back and it seems to be a testing a tweaked PiP window design in YouTube app for once again. Minor but noticeable, YouTube on Android could remove the 10-second skip and rewind buttons from the PiP Window.

We spotted the change in YouTube app for Android running on the beta version 20.06.33. Once you minimise a video in the app, it goes to PiP mode but the 10-second skip and rewind buttons are gone.

Left (New UI), Right (Existing UI)

Instead, you only get the Play button at the top left, a progress bar same as before, and the cross button to close the player at the top right of the PiP window. If you tap on the window, it opens the full video player.

Earlier, the PiP window had a progress bar, the play button, the cross button, and the 10-second skip and rewind buttons.

YouTube could simply be testing a more minimal PiP window design in YouTube app on Android. There’s no confirmation regarding whether this change will make it to the stable version or not.

Earlier in January, YouTube released a slew of new experimental features such as high-quality audio for YouTube Premium users. Further, it added support for Picture-in-Picture for YouTube Shorts within its app.

Next, there was the ability to have recommended Shorts selected and automatically downloaded for offline viewing. In addition, you can now seamlessly skip ahead to the best parts of a video while browsing on web browsers which was a feature previously available only on mobile devices.

iQOO Revises iQOO 12 Software Policy, Will Now Get 1 More Android OS Update

iQOO Revises iQOO 12 Software Policy, Will Now Get 1 More Android OS Update

iQOO has announced an updated software update policy with 4 years of FunTouch OS updates and 5 years of security patches for iQOO 12. With the revised iQOO 12 software policy, the company says that users will be able to enjoy “an even better experience with the latest OS features and improvements till 2027, as well as stay protected with enhanced security patches until 2028.”

The iQOO 12 launched with 3 years of OS updates policy and 4 years of security patch updates back in 2023. In other words, it was supposed to get updates till 17 but now, iQOO 12 users will be able to experience Android 18 as well. “The new update cycle by iQOO reinforces its dedication to security, longevity and performance ensuring devices stay up to date, run smoothly and deliver long-term value with a seamless user experience,” said iQOO.

The move is definitely appreciated considering not many brands do the same. We saw Google pull off a similar move in December last year where it confirmed that the Fold, Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 generations will receive a total of five years of Android OS updates. With the new update policy, Pixel 6 series which is the oldest out of the lot, will get updates till Android 17, instead of Android 15 which was supposed to be the last update for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

The new iQOO 12 software policy matches that of the iQOO 13 which is brand’s latest flagship in India. Both these devices will receive 4 major OS updates but because iQOO 13 launched with Android 15 out of the box, it will get updates till Android 19.

The iQOO 12 packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, Supercomputing Chip Q1, 144 with 3000 nits brightness, a 50MP + 50MP + 64MP triple rear camera setup, and a 5000mAh battery that supports 120W Fast charging.

Google Adds SynthID in Google Photos to Mark AI-Edited Images with Invisible Watermarks

Google Adds SynthID in Google Photos to Mark AI-Edited Images with Invisible Watermarks

Google, in a bid to make the AI environment safer, has added SynthID in Google Photos that will mark images edited with generative AI using Reimagine in Magic Editor with an invisible digital watermark. This will help identify whether an image has been edited using Google’s AI-based offerings within Google Photos. The announcement regarding the same was made in October last year.

SynthID is a technology that embeds an imperceptible, digital watermark directly into AI-generated images, audio, text or video. The technology was unveiled in 2023. “SynthID isn’t a silver bullet for identifying AI generated content, but is an important building block for developing more reliable AI identification tools and can help millions of people make informed decisions about how they interact with AI-generated content,” said Google in a blog post last year.

In May 2024, Google began using SynthID for watermarking AI-generated text in the Gemini app and web experience, and video in Veo. With SynthID in Google Photos, you can use the “About this image” menu which shows if a SynthID watermark is present as well as an image’s metadata.

“You may have already seen SynthID used to watermark images created entirely by AI — like those made by Google’s text-to-image model, Imagen. This helps people identify AI-generated content quickly and easily,” said the company.

However, Google notes that in some cases, “edits made using Reimagine may be too small for SynthID to label and detect — like if you change the color of a small flower in the background of an image.”

In other AI news related to Google, it recently announced the release of Gemini 2.0 Pro and 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental models in the Gemini App as well as on the web. Google’s Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental is being touted as the brand’s “best model yet for coding performance and complex prompts.” Google says it has the strongest coding performance and ability to handle complex prompts, with better understanding and reasoning of world knowledge, than any model it has released so far.

Is Apple iPhone SE 4 Coming on Feb 11?

Apple’s iPhone SE was last refreshed in 2022 and has grown dated since. It packs older hardware while the rest of the iPhones gain the latest hardware Apple has to offer. It seems like the iPhone SE is finally in for a refresh as rumours suggest that the Apple iPhone SE 4 is coming on February 11.

The iPhone SE 4, as Bloomberg reports, is coming on February 11. Furthermore, the device will go on sale later in the year. Apple is unlikely to hold a launch event for the device, opting to reveal it through its website and press release. “Inventory of the current iPhone SE has dried up at Apple retail stores in many parts of the US, which typically happens before a refresh,” read the Bloomberg report.

The iPhone SE 4 is finally expected to boast of a new hardware including an iPhone 14-like design where it won’t have a dynamic island but a notch on the front which will house the tech. With this addition, Apple will have finally phased out Touch ID and the home button from its iPhone lineup. The device may be powered by the latest A18 chip along with support for Apple Intelligence.

Furthermore, it will be Apple’s first device with an in-house cellular modem, replacing a component from Qualcomm. It is possible that Apple will integrate the same in its iPhone 17 series as well. Finally, for optics, the new affordable iPhone is said to get a 48MP primary rear camera and a 12MP front camera from the iPhone 15. However, there won’t be any ultra-wide angle camera.

Another recent report from the same publication states that the PowerBeats Pro 2 will launch next week and the new iPhone launch should coincide with it. The new model, which will cost $250 as per the leak, will feature the same H2 chip as the AirPods, better noise cancelation, and new colors, including an impressive orange. The product also has heart-rate monitoring support — a first from Apple in a non-watch wearable product.
