Pixel Fold, Pixel 8 Pro renders reveal major design details of the two Google phones

Google is all set to launch a number of new Pixel phones, and two of those devices have been much in talks lately. One of which is a foldable device, the Pixel Fold, while the other one is Pixel 8 Pro. They are a few months away from launch now and are one of the most awaited smartphone launches of 2023. 

Every other day there is a new leak or tip about certain specifications of these phones. After all, people are waiting eagerly for these devices and are very keen to know if the phones match their expectations. Now, thanks to @evleaks, we get an even better idea of how the Pixel Fold would look like. 

Pixel Fold leaks

Pixel Fold's certain features and specifications were revealed a couple of days back through leaks, but nothing specific about the charging of the phone could be figured out. Tipster Yogesh Brar is certain that the Pixel Fold will come with a 4,500mAh battery along with a 23W charger. 

It isn't yet clear if the charger is a wired one or wireless. So, this suggests that the Pixel Fold won't come with fast charging and adapts the same as its predecessors. So, the upcoming Google device won't have any differences when it comes to charging if you compare it with the predecessors. 

Pixel 8 Pro expected details

There have been steady rumours about certain Pixel 8’s features, including details about other phones launching with the Pixel 8 Pro. But nothing major about the camera was mentioned.

Another unnamed tipster for all things Samsung has suggested that Pixel 8 Pro will have a major camera upgrade. It’s rumoured the Pixel 8 Pro will sport Samsung's biggest ISOCELL GN2 sensor which is 1/1.12-inch in size. The resolution will go up to 50MP for native and 12.5MP after binning. This is a huge upgrade in terms of camera when compared to the Pixel 8 Pro's predecessors. 

So, these were tips suggested by tipsters who haven't ever set a wrong benchmark for the devices. We’ll have to wait and watch if they’re in fact 100-per cent right until the Pixel 8 series and Pixel Fold launches later this year.

TicWatch Pro 5 leak leaves little to the imagination

TicWatch Pro 5 is the next big thing from the Chinese wearable brand Mobvoi. We call it big because the smartwatch would follow the fairly popular TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS and also seems to have a large screen. We get to see the watch’s listing on Amazon.ca as spotted and first shared by folks over at DroidLife. We also learn pretty much everything about the upcoming TicWatch smartwatch, which you can too by simply scrolling through. 

TicWatch Pro 5 specs and features

1. TicWatch Pro 5 could come with a 1.43-inch round display. It is OLED in nature with an additional dynamic and colourful FSTN layer. You get Gorilla Glass protection on top along with oleophobic properties. 

2. The watch is MIL-STD-810H military grade tested for endurance and also offers 5ATM water resistance. It is a chunky wristwear with 50.15 × 48 × 12.2mm in dimensions and 44.3 grams in heft.

3. Inside, the new TicWatch could be bearing Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 platform with Wear OS 3. You get the usual trackers for heart rate, SpO2, sleep,  stress, and even VO2 Max measurement. An interesting feature seems to be the new colour codes for various heart rate zones. The display will light up in 6 different colours based on your current heart rate.

4. The smartwatch is said to run for 80Hrs in smart mode and 45 days in essential mode with a 611mAh battery. From the leaked images, the adapter looks like a magnetic pogo-pin based that claims to fast charge 65 percent of the watch’s battery in just 30 minutes. 

5. Among other features, the watch will also bring Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi, NFC (with Google Pay support), a mic, and a speaker. 

This is pretty big for a leak and so, we suppose the TicWatch Pro 5’s official release couldn’t be too far. We shall keep you posted when we have some details about the same.

Create Insta posts in seconds with upgraded Microsoft Designer

The entire Microsoft ecosystem is receiving new generative AI capabilities, including Microsoft Designer. As a member of the Microsoft 365 family, the graphic design app with a Canva-like interface first debuted in October 2022. To generate designs with the right images and text instantaneously, it uses the resources of OpenAI's DALLE 2 word-to-image generator.

With the most recent version, Designers can now quickly produce ready-to-post social media material and even recommend appropriate hashtags and captions. Additionally, you can now alter the design's canvas size while the elements are automatically shifted for a seamless fit. Additionally, the app adjusts your content for up to 20 different layout sizes on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others.

How to create a post on Designer

The user interface is very simple to use and requires minimal human intervention from the user. You just have to add in the prompt as to what you want your post for. For instance, you need to create a post announcing your small thrift shopping business or you want to make a post celebrating an achievement. You just have to add in those details. 

Designer will automatically generate various options that you can choose from and get inspired from within 5 seconds. You can also add your own images to personalise the content on the post. However, if you do not have images you can type in the image style and the AI image generator that Designer uses will create an image for you using AI. And just like that your post is ready. 

Additionally, you can have animated backgrounds, and transitions for text and images, among others with Microsoft's AI-powered Designer.

The Microsoft Edge site now comes with Designer fully integrated, which is the nicest part. By selecting the Designer symbol from the Edge sidebar, you may go to it. By doing this, using Designer won't require you to switch windows, leave the page you're on, or download an extension.

Visitors to the Designer website can download the upgraded software for free and have early access to new capabilities including Fill, Expand background, Erase, and Replace background even if they don't use Edge. When the app is ready for general release, Microsoft 365 Personal and Family users will be able to access additional premium features for free.

Sony PS5 shatters console sales records for a single quarter in 2023, beats out its predecessor

It’s been a slow start for the PS5, but if the sales figures for the last quarter are any indication, the console could be well on its way to being one of the best-selling of all time. Sony faced a ton of problems when it launched the PS5 in the middle of a global pandemic with chip shortages and the like contributing to slow sales and the lack of physical consoles. But, once the situation was a bit better and the shortages were plugged, the PS5 emerged as the winner as far as this generation of consoles goes. 

PS5 smashes PS4 record of consoles sold in 3 months

In just three short months, the PS5 has allegedly outsold even the PS4 for that period of time. It has basically destroyed the PS4’s record at the same time. A consolidated financial result report by Sony suggests that the PS5 has sold about 6.3 million units in just the first quarter of 2023. That’s about 2 million consoles sold in a month. If these numbers are true then the PS5 is well on its way to becoming one of the best-selling consoles of all time, up there with the Nintendo Switch, Wii and PS2. 

But, if there’s one thing that the PS4 has over its successor is that it sold over 40 million units over its life-cycle and it’s still being purchased in various markets across the world. There have been rumours of a PS5 Pro and the like, but with how the PS5 is going right now, it would not be a smart idea to introduce an upgrade to a console that is already quite powerful. On a personal note, I’ve been gaming much more on my PS5 than I was on my PS4. The blazing-fast SSD and ease of gaming make it much easier for me to just jump into a quick game. 

So, what do you guys think of the PS5 selling about 6.8 million units in just three months?
