The iQOO 13 will launch in India soon, as suggested by an X post by iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya. A launch date or timeline has not yet been revealed but it will likely be sometime later this year. The phone will be introduced in China in late October.

The teaser suggests that the iQOO 13 will be equipped with Snapdragon’s latest flagship chipset. The moniker of the chip has yet to be revealed. It will be unveiled at a Qualcomm event this week. 

iQOO 13 Specifications

iQOO 13 is confirmed to feature BOE’s Q10 display with a 2K resolution. Vivo VP Jia Jingdong has also confirmed that the phone will carry a 6,150mAh battery with support for 120W wired fast charging as well as a Q2 gaming chipset.

Previous leaks have claimed that the iQOO 13 handset will sport a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. It is expected to support up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of inbuilt storage. The Chinese version of the smartphone is expected to ship with OriginOS 5, while the Indian and international variants are tipped to run on Funtouch OS 15.

In the camera department, the iQOO 13 is expected to get a triple rear camera system, including a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel sensor with an ultrawide lens, and a 50-megapixel 2x telephoto shooter. Meanwhile, the front camera could be equipped with a 32-megapixel sensor.


Apple Said to Be Working on Foldable Device Larger than iPhone

Apple Said to Be Working on Foldable Device Larger than iPhone


Apple is working on the development of a foldable device that could be larger than a smartphone, according to a report. The purported foldable device could arrive in the form of a notebook or a tablet, according to a DigiTimes report that cites Taiwan-based supply chain sources. The iPhone maker is said to have been working on a folding device for at least half a decade and is expected to decide on the design of the device before the company begins manufacturing.

According to the report (via MacRumors), the Cupertino company is working on a “larger device” hat could arrive in the form of the aforementioned devices, instead of a foldable iPhone. In order to do so, the company has reportedly tasked engineers from the Vision Pro team with the development of components for the foldable device, including the hinge.

If Apple does release a foldable device in the coming years — the report says a launch before 2025 is unlikely — it is likely to compete with products from Samsung, Oppo, Google, Huawei, and Xiaomi. These are just some of the firms that already offer foldable devices that can currently be purchased by consumers.

Earlier this month, Chinese tipster ‘Fixed Focus Digital’ (translated from Chinese) claimed that Apple had suspended the development of a device with a foldable screen due to a screen test that did not offer satisfactory results, and that the iPhone maker had bought several competitors foldable smartphones to dismantle them, while “speeding up the research and development” process.

The report contradicts this claim, stating that the work on a foldable phone has not been suspended and the company is working on more than one foldable device, with different departments tasked with developing each product. Apple is yet to announce any plans to launch a foldable smartphone in the coming months — or years.

TSMC to Get $4.9 Billion in Subsidies From Japan to Build Second Chip Plant




BSNL Offers 3GB of Additional Data With Rs. 599 Prepaid Recharge Plan: Benefits

BSNL Offers 3GB of Additional Data With Rs. 599 Prepaid Recharge Plan: Benefits


Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has announced a promotional offer on one of its prepaid mobile recharge plans for users in India. With this offer, prepaid users can get an additional 3GB of data on top of the existing benefits of the plan when recharging exclusively with the BSNL Selfcare app. Notably, the state-owned telecom service provider recently introduced two new services in the country: a fibre-based intranet TV and a direct-to-device satellite connectivity.

BSNL says prepaid users can now enjoy more data with its Rs. 599 prepaid recharge plan. It comes with 84-day validity and offers 3GB of data per day, along with unlimited local and STD calling, and 100 daily SMS. Along with the daily benefits, BSNL customers will also receive an additional 3GB of data.

The prepaid recharge plan also bundles other value-added services such as subscriptions to the Zing music and video streaming app, Personal Ring Back Tone, Astrotell, and GameOn. All the benefits of the plan are applicable on recharging exclusively with the BSNL Selfcare app which is available on both Android and iOS platforms.

The telecom provider also offers similar benefits with the Rs. 299 prepaid recharge plan but it comes with a reduced validity of 30 days.

Robert Ravi, Chairman and Managing Director of BSNL recently announced that the telecom operator will not hike tariffs. Instead, it will focus on improving the quality of its services in a bid to retain the new consumers it gained following the price hike rolled out in India by telecom operators such as Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio. This hike resulted in BSNL gaining 2.9 million subscribers in India in July, with lower tariffs attributed as a major reason behind the migration of consumers.

As per the official, the telecom operator plans to grow its market share in the country to 25 percent by 2025. Some of the driving factors behind this anticipated growth are the seven recently announced services, including spam protection, Wi-Fi roaming service for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) consumers, Any Time SIM (ATM) kiosks, and a fibre-based intranet TV service.

Microsoft Testing Bing AI Chat Support on Chrome, Safari for Select Users: Report


Microsoft is reportedly expanding its Bing AI chatbot to other browsers like Chrome and Safari. While there has been no official rollout of the same, there have been reports citing confirmation from the company about the new update. Bing chatbot is said to be available for select users on Chrome and Safari. While the feature is currently only accessible to Edge users, the new expansion may make it easy for users across browsers to use the Bing AI chatbot.

In a recent report, Windows Latest revealed that Microsoft is rolling out Bing chat to Google Chrome and Safari with a few limitations. While the company did not make any announcement about the same, it has reportedly confirmed to TechCrunch that Microsoft is testing the expansion for select users in select regions.

According to the report, Microsoft’s director of communications Caitlin Roulston stated, “We are flighting access to Bing Chat in Safari and Chrome to select users as part of our testing on other browsers.”

The Windows Latest report also mentioned that users who are gaining the access to test Bing Chat will receive a pop-up message on Windows 10 or 11’s taskbar, providing them access to try Bing chatbot on Chrome. The chat is said to come with native dark mode enabled. However, users do get the freedom to switch between light and dark mode, using the hamburger menu, as per the report.

It also mentioned that Bing chat on Chrome only supports five messages per conversation, with character count limited to 2,000. On the contrary, Bing on Edge provides support for as many as 30 messages, which supports 4,000 characters.

It is to be noted that the company is yet to announce the official rollout of the same. Moreover, for users who are not ‘selected’ for Bing on Chrome or Safari test, a pop-up message appears to recommend downloading Microsoft Edge when they access Bing AI on Chrome or Safari. Gadgets 360 has also confirmed the same.

Jammu Petrol Pumps Declare ‘No Fuel For Vehicles Driven By Minors’, DSE Issues Circular | Mobility News

Jammu Petrol Pumps Declare ‘No Fuel For Vehicles Driven By Minors’, DSE Issues Circular | Mobility News


No Fuel For Vehicles Driven By Minors: In a bid to ensure the safety of underage children, petrol pumps in Jammu have put up posters declaring “no fuel for vehicles driven by minors”. The Jammu and Kashmir Directorate of School Education (DSE) has also issued a circular prohibiting minor students from driving motor vehicles, including two-wheelers and four-wheelers, to school.

The poster, first displayed at petrol pumps in the Gandhi Nagar area on the Jammu-Pathankot highway reads, “No fuel for minors”. “The poster, which specifically focuses on minors riding two-wheelers without helmets or four-wheelers, is aimed at ensuring the safety of children,” said an employee of the petrol pump.

This step has drawn praise from residents and encouraged the authorities to take proactive measures. On November 14, two young boys died while another was critically injured after a tragic collision between two vehicles near the Tengpora area in Srinagar. This incident sparked a debate on driving by minors and road safety in the valley.

Following another accident in Srinagar last week, in which two teenage boys died and two others were injured after their car rammed into a stationary truck, the DSE issued an order prohibiting minor students from driving motor vehicles, including two-wheelers and four-wheelers, to school.

“It has come to notice that some underage students are driving vehicles while going to schools or coaching centres. Such an act has the potential of causing road accidents, endangering public safety, and is also in violation of the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act,” the DSE said in a circular issued on Thursday.

It further said, “In view of the above, it is impressed upon Heads of Institutions of all government and private schools & coaching centres to implement these instructions strictly. They should keep a close vigil to ensure that no underage student is allowed to attend the institution while driving any motor vehicle, including two-wheelers or four-wheelers.” Such students must not be permitted entry and their parents should be informed accordingly, the circular added.

The directive further instructed schools and coaching centres to ensure proper sensitisation of students and parents about the dangers and risks involved in underage driving. Awareness programmes on age restrictions and traffic rules should be organised in collaboration with the traffic police, it said.

“Parents and guardians should be educated through PTMs (parents-teachers meetings) about the consequences of underage driving and their responsibilities,” it stated. Additionally, schools and coaching centres are required to monitor parking areas and entry points to ensure compliance, it said.

“Any instance of a minor driving a vehicle should be immediately reported to the concerned authorities. They should also regularly coordinate with the Traffic Police to enforce strict measures,” the circular said. The directive emphasised activating all road safety and school safety clubs to raise awareness in schools.

“All government and private schools & coaching centres must strictly ensure the implementation of the above circular instructions in letter and spirit. Any violation of the instructions shall invite legal action under the Motor Vehicle Act and relevant laws, including the withdrawal of recognition and registration of the institution,” it said.

Tecno to Unveil PolarAce Imaging System at MWC 2024, Set to Debut in Camon 30 Series


Mobile World Congress 2024 (MWC) will kickstart in Barcelona on February 26 with a plethora of brands showcasing their latest trends and innovations in the mobile and telecommunication landscape. Tecno, owned by China’s Transsion Holdings, announced earlier this month that it will showcase an AR gaming set, a robot dog, and a Pova series smartphone at the event. Now the brand has confirmed that it will also unveil its new “AI-enhanced” imaging system named Tecno PolarAce at MWC. The company will be unveiling the Tecno Megabook T16 Pro 2024 Ultra notebook at the event.

Tecno in a recent press release announced that it will unveil PolarAce Imaging System during MWC. It is claimed to be the company’s first-ever imaging system featuring an independent imaging chip. The AI-enhanced imaging technology is said to enable advanced videography capture and it will debut in the upcoming Tecno Camon 30 series. Tecno’s PolarAce system will be unveiled alongside Tecno’s Megabook T16 Pro 2024 Ultra on February 27.

The Transsion Holdings subsidiary says the latest PolarAce Imaging System aims to address the limitations of traditional SoCs in delivering exceptional videos and current solutions. The latest technology is stated to eliminate the limited full-scene HDR capabilities of current imaging solutions.

Earlier this month, Tecno announced that it will be attending MWC to unveil a new Pova phone, a robot dog, a flagship laptop, and an AR gaming kit. The company’s first Windows AR gaming handheld called Pocket Go combines AR glasses and a handheld device. Additionally, the Tecno Pova 6 Pro 5G smartphone will make its global debut at the event. The event will also see the company’s futuristic AI and AR technologies, Universal Tone technology, new concepts, and more.

Tecno is anticipated to introduce its first rollable phone called Phantom Ultimate during the event. The brand showcased its Phantom Ultimate prototype with a rollable display in September 2022.
