5G in India: Do you need a new SIM card to use 5G?

The three major network carriers in India have confirmed that 4G SIM cards are compatible with the 5G network.&nbsp;

Airtel has launched its 5G services across eight cities in India. Its rivals, Jio and Vi, are also gearing up to launch 5G by the end of this year.&nbsp;
So, what are the requirements for upgrading to 5G? Will a new SIM card be required? Will your phone support it? Let's have a look.
To begin with, all three carriers have confirmed that there is no need to change existing 4G SIM cards to get 5G services. Instead, customers will be automatically upgraded to the 5G network if they choose to opt in.
But if you're an early adopter of 5G on Airtel, keep in mind that it won't work with iPhones right now because Apple has not pushed a software update to enable 5G on its phones.
According to Airtel, its 5G services are active on all other 5G-ready smartphones from all major manufacturers. &nbsp;

Youtube's 4K streaming feature may soon demand a paid Premium subscription.

YouTube users may soon need Premium subscription to stream in 4K

Youtube users may soon need Premium subscription to stream in 4K

YouTube's 4K streaming feature may soon demand a paid Premium subscription.

According to a <a href="https://twitter.com/sondesix/status/1576256922965069824" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">screenshot</a> posted on Twitter, YouTube is prompting non-Premium users to upgrade their free streaming plan in order to stream in 4K.
The 4K choice now includes a little banner that reads 'Premium,' while other alternatives such as 1440p (2K) and 1080p (FHD) remain accessible to everybody.
The move is sure to be unpopular, however it is unclear whether Google is only experimenting with the function on YouTube or whether it will be implemented for all users.
While this move will not affect mobile device users, those streaming Youtube on 4K TVs or monitors might be annoyed if this move is implemented.
In Q2 2022, YouTube generated $6.87 billion in income, which was almost a billion dollars less than Google's predicted $7.51 billion. This may be one of the motivations behind the Premium push.
Premium subscriptions in India cost ₹129 per month. There are also quarterly and annual subscriptions available for ₹399 and ₹1,290, respectively.
Premium users receive no advertisements, the ability to save videos for offline viewing (only through the YouTube app), and support for picture-in-picture. As part of the membership, users are granted access to YouTube Music.
YouTube has also been experimenting with many (up to eleven) non-skippable advertisements as a means to promote its subscription-based business.

Dizo Watch R Talk review: Stylish and affordable

Watch R Talk

Is the Dizo Watch R Talk a good choice for those looking for a fashionable smartwatch with a bright display and a long battery life? Find out in our review!

The Dizo Watch R talk is the most expensive smartwatch that the first brand under Realme Techlife sells in India. &nbsp; &nbsp; It offers a nice design and high-end features like Bluetooth calling for just ₹5,000. So, should you put it on your shopping list? &nbsp; Design &amp; Display &nbsp; Dizo has pretty much nailed the aesthetic part of this smartwatch. It sports a well-finished metallic frame and has a nice heft to it. The Watch R Talk has two buttons on the right side, both of which are quite tactile.&nbsp; &nbsp; The silicon strap is of good quality and is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, like when working out or sleeping. &nbsp; The Watch R Talk also has some kind of water resistance, but the Dizo website does not specify what kind. &nbsp; The circular display of the watch does have a chunky bezel around it, but the 1.3-inch AMOLED unit hides it pretty well. The display itself is of good quality for the price, and it produces deep blacks, which gives the overall UI of the watch quite an upmarket feel. &nbsp; The outdoor legibility is also quite good, thanks to 500 nits of peak brightness. The Watch R Talk also has an always-on display, which is a great feature to have on a smartwatch. &nbsp; However, there is no ambient light sensor, and manually adjusting the brightness can get quite annoying at times.&nbsp; &nbsp; Companion App &nbsp; Dizo has a dedicated companion app for its products that&rsquo;s available on both Android and iOS. It has a fairly straightforward interface, which gives you additional details on your tracked activities or allows you to load additional watch faces.&nbsp; &nbsp; I do feel that instead of launching a separate app for Dizo, Realme could have continued to pair Dizo products with its Realme Link app because it is more intuitive and shows more comprehensive data as well.&nbsp; &nbsp; Software &nbsp; Since it is an inexpensive smartwatch, the Watch R Talk runs on Dizo&rsquo;s proprietary UI instead of Wear OS. Therefore, you cannot download additional apps here. The two buttons on the right side of the watch help with navigation. The UI is fairly simple to operate and quite smooth as well.&nbsp; &nbsp; However, the software optimization leaves a lot to be desired, because I did get a buggy experience from time to time&nbsp; &nbsp; For instance, the watch often does not automatically connect to the app. Then, the always-on display has the tendency to randomly disappear. Also, the alarm did not go off one fine morning.&nbsp; &nbsp; I'm hoping these issues will be resolved with a future software update.&nbsp; &nbsp; Health &amp; Fitness Tracking &nbsp; The Watch R Talk has over 110 sports modes, but you can only load 13 of them at a time. Other modes remain in the companion app. &nbsp; I mostly used this watch to track my cardio and strength training at the gym. &nbsp; &nbsp; After an intense session of indoor cycling, the watch indicated that I had burned only 22 calories. It's safe to say that sports tracking isn&rsquo;t really this watch&rsquo;s strength.&nbsp; &nbsp; I also used the watch&rsquo;s sleep tracking feature for a couple of nights. The app only gives you a very basic distribution of your various sleep cycles. For comparison, the Realme Link app offers a much more detailed analysis in this area. &nbsp; Other health features like heart rate tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, and menstrual cycle tracking are also available on this watch.&nbsp; &nbsp; Bluetooth Calling &nbsp; The reason why this is Watch R Talk is because, well, you can talk through it. The watch has a built-in mic and speaker, which allows it to make and receive calls. Now, this isn't something you'll use all the time, but it will come in handy occasionally.&nbsp; &nbsp; The max volume of the speaker during a call should have been louder because it is difficult to hear outdoors. On the flip side, the mic&rsquo;s audio performance is very good. &nbsp; Battery Life &nbsp; The Watch R Talk&rsquo;s claimed battery life is 10 days without calling and 5 days with it. However, realistically, with mixed usage and always on display activated, you can expect anywhere between 4-6 days on a single charge. &nbsp; The watch comes with a magnetic charging connector, which can fully recharge it in around 2 hours.&nbsp; &nbsp; Verdict &nbsp; The Dizo Watch R Talk is a good option for those looking for a stylish smartwatch with a great display and good battery life. &nbsp; However, the Realme Watch 3 Pro is available for the same price and not only does it provide a more polished software experience, but it also includes built-in GPS, which this Dizo Watch lacks. &nbsp; So, make sure you have your priorities set before making a decision.

PM Modi launches 5G services in India

5G will soon be available in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Jamnagar, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Pune.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has unveiled 5G services in India at the 6th India Mobile Congress.
After Diwali, 5G services will be available in 13 Indian cities which include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Jamnagar, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Pune.
The government has set a target of achieving 80 percent coverage of 5G telecom services in the country in a short period of time, according to Union Minister for Communications, Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The three major telecom operators of India - Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea demonstrated various use cases of 5G technology in front of PM Modi.
5G can enable solutions such as &nbsp;connected vehicles, more-immersive augmented reality and metaverse experiences, life-saving use cases, and advanced mobile cloud gaming.
It can also power ultra-low latency connections that allow downloading full-length high-quality video or movie to a mobile device in a matter of seconds even in crowded areas.

Sony's HT-S400 Soundbar offers a fun sound, punchy bass, and surround sound features for a relatively low price. Is this is a great fit for your home theatre system?

Sony HT-S400 Soundbar Review: Great bass and great value!

HT-S400

Sony's HT-S400 Soundbar offers a fun sound, punchy bass, and surround sound features for a relatively low price. Is this is a great fit for your home theatre system?

Sony's HT-S400 Soundbar offers a fun sound, punchy bass, and surround sound features for a relatively low price. Is this a great fit for your home theatre system?

Meet Sony&rsquo;s HT-S400 soundbar, which promises a great sound experience at a relatively low price of ₹21,990. On paper, It seems like a good deal, especially if you&rsquo;ve spent a fair amount on that new TV, and don&rsquo;t exactly have a lakh to spend on a surround sound setup. But just how good does it sound, and is this the right fit for your home theatre system?
<h2>Design</h2>
So, the HT-S400 unit is made up of the soundbar, and an accompanying subwoofer. The soundbar is a simple black design that&rsquo;s mostly made of plastic. There is a metal grille that wraps around the sides as well. There&rsquo;s a row of touch-sensitive buttons on the top, which can switch between Bluetooth and TV modes and control volume and power. On the front you get a simple OLED display which can display status information.
The subwoofer is a similarly simple-looking unit that&rsquo;s made out of wood and plastic. It&rsquo;s entirely black, and has a sound port on the front, and a metal grille protects the speaker above it.
The design is simple, but classy. It won&rsquo;t call attention to itself and will blend in quite nicely in your room&rsquo;s entertainment setup. Build quality is also sturdy and solid on both the bar and the sub.&nbsp;
Dimensions wise, the soundbar is around 35.5-inches wide, which means that it should fit reasonably well under most large TVs. The subwoofer is 15 inches tall and 15 inches in depth, so it should be easy to fit also.

<h2>Utility</h2>
One thing to note about the S400 is that the subwoofer is wireless, so there&rsquo;s no wire connecting the two units. The setup process is completely seamless - when you power up both units, the soundbar and subwoofer will immediately find each other and work as one. There is no pairing process whatsoever, which is extremely convenient. If you have a Sony Bravia TV, the entire soundbar unit will also connect wirelessly with your TV using Bluetooth, making this a really clutter-free setup.
For inputs, the soundbar accepts HDMI ARC, Optical Audio In, and Bluetooth 5.0. Basically, you should be able to connect it with any reasonably modern TV without any issues, and your smartphones or laptops for music playback as well.&nbsp;
The HT-S400 does support the Dolby Digital surround sound format through ARC or Audio Return Channel. It has to downmix the content into a stereo channel anyway, which has middling results, but I'll talk more about that in the performance section. Also, the S400 does not support lossless formats for surround sound like Dolby Atmos.
There is a USB-A port at the back, but it&rsquo;s used only for software updates, and you can&rsquo;t plug in a flash drive and play songs off that.
You do get an optical audio cable in the box, but no HDMI cable, which I would have liked to see, though most people will have a spare one lying around. Also, if you want to wall-mount this product, do note that while it does have holes for screws at the back, you will have to purchase the screws separately.
Sony also packs in a remote, which is pretty small and has a rounded back to help you hold it easily. There are buttons for power &amp; switching input, volume control, and for fine-tuning the amount of bass in the sound. There are also specific buttons for the Sound Field and Voice features, which we&rsquo;ll get to in a bit, and a Night mode which will tune down extreme volumes so as to not disturb other members of your house.

<h2>Performance</h2>
There are two main ways to describe the performance of the HT-S400 soundbar - it&rsquo;s fun, and it&rsquo;s great value for money. This is a 2.1 channel speaker, which means that the soundbar is stereo with left and right channels, and then you do of course get bass from the subwoofer.
Let&rsquo;s talk about music playback quality. The soundbar has balanced mids, which offer clear and detailed vocals and lead instruments. The bass is fantastic - I found it to be really punchy and super tight with the kicks and snares in drums, or even drops and basslines in EDM.
For movies, the great bass from the subwoofer really helps with sound effects in Hollywood blockbusters, like engines or guns or magic effects - they all sound fantastic. The excellent clarity in the upper range also helps with the effects. If you&rsquo;re watching a movie which has really low-mixed dialogue, like anything directed by Christopher Nolan, the soundbar has a specific Voice mode which will boost human voices to help make them more audible.&nbsp;
Also this soundbar gets really loud. It puts out a combined 330W of sound, which is a powerful punch, and you can really feel it. It filled up my reasonably sized room at about 50% volume, and at higher volumes it has enough sound to fill out just about any room. Audio quality remains clean with no distortion even when you crank up the volume.
There&rsquo;s also an S-Force Pro virtual surround feature, which will simulate a surround sound feel with stereo speakers. This has mixed results. It&rsquo;s not the same as a fully immersive 5.1 setup, of course, but it can add to the soundstage and make movies sound better. It does make music sound a little tinny and hollow, so I preferred to turn it off for that purpose.&nbsp;
<h2>Verdict</h2>
Sony&rsquo;s HT-S400 Soundbar is great value for money. It sounds really fun, has great clarity even at high volumes, and has extremely punchy and booming bass. And while it may not deliver immersive surround sound, it does manage to offer an incredible upgrade over TV speakers for both music and movies.

Amazon users can now directly connect with social media influencers and purchase things through links provided in their livestreams.

Amazon launches live shopping in India

Amazon users can now directly connect with social media influencers and purchase things through links provided in their livestreams.

Amazon has launched its 'Amazon Live' live commerce service in India, allowing customers to directly connect with content creators and social media influencers and purchase things through links supplied during their livestreams.
Amazon.in will broadcast 15 live broadcasts every day from 10 AM to 1 AM.
Amazon claims that through Amazon Live, Amazon India intends to link influencers with a large number of consumers, allowing them to make educated purchases.
To broadcast on Amazon Live, influencers must have accounts on platforms like YouTube or Instagram.
Amazon Live now offers live broadcasts in India for categories such as electronics, fashion &amp; beauty, and home decor.
The firm stated that it will provide new features and invest in technologies to enhance the shopping experience in India.
Creators may utilise live product demos to educate audiences on product features, advantages, and special offers.
With Live's chat function, they can communicate with customers in real-time and help them keep in touch with the "Follow" option.

Twitter launches TikTok-style vertical videos

With Twitter's incorporation, vertical videos have now arrived on all major social media platforms.&nbsp;

Videos on Twitter will now resemble TikTok considerably more. The company has <a href="https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2022/new-video-products-make-easier-watch-what-happening-twitter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">announced</a> its transition to a vertical full-screen video player for viewing video clips.
It has also adopted the now-familiar "swipe up" feature, which enables users to constantly scroll through additional videos on the platform.
The move will make watching videos on Twitter significantly more reminiscent to exploring TikTok or Instagram's Reels, at least in terms of the user experience.
The updates are now exclusive to Twitter's iOS app, but the company has stated that a comparable update for Android might be released in the "coming weeks."
Although Twitter has long promoted videos on its platform (particularly live videos), this is one of the company's most aggressive initiatives to push videos on its users.
Additionally, some users may find the new full-screen videos to be intrusive. The business explains that the back arrow in the upper-left corner of a clip allows viewers to return to the original tweet.
Separately, Twitter is also experimenting with a method to attract more users to its video content. The firm is experimenting with a new video suggestions area on the Explore tab of Twitter.&nbsp;

Apple has updated their iPad Pro tablets, giving them features like Face ID, USB Type-C connectivity, and a Liquid Retina Display. Bezels are smaller, the device is thinner than before, and it comes with a new Apple Pencil as well, that can attach magnetically to the device and charge wirelessly. With Apple's A12X Bionic chip, the new iPad Pro can run Adobe Photoshop. With up to 1TB of storage available, prices start from $799 for the 11" model, and $999 for the 12.9" model.

The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are powered by the company's new Tensor G2 SoC which enables loads of new camera features.

Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro launched in India

The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are powered by the company's new Tensor G2 SoC which enables loads of new camera features.

The Google Pixel 7 series and been launched globally and its price in India has also been revealed.
<h3>Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro price in India</h3>
The Pixel 7's starting price is ₹59,999 whereas the Pro model will start at ₹84,999.&nbsp;
<h3>Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro specifications</h3>
The new Tensor G2 chipset in the Pixel 7 series is made with Samsung's 4nm process. The CPU is still the same: 2x Cortex-X1 + 2x A76 and 4x A55, but the clock speed has been slightly increased.
The Mali-G710 MC10 GPU is more interesting. It promises to be faster and more efficient than the G78 for graphics and to give machine learning tasks a 35 percent boost. In addition, there is a new Tensor core and a new modem.
The next-generation Tensor processing unit can do tasks related to machine learning 60 percent faster and 20 percent better. It is responsible for features like Photo Unblur, which is only available on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. It uses Google's advanced AI to remove blur and noise from old photos taken with any old phone.
The Pro model phone has 12GB of RAM and comes with 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage. The phone doesn't have a microSD slot, but it does have a nano-SIM slot and an eSIM for a second line.
Next, let's take a look at the cameras. The main module on the Pixel 7 Pro still has a 50MP sensor. The field of view of this f/1.85 lens is 82&deg;. If you want to get a better picture of the whole scene, you can use the 12MP ultra wide camera with a field of view of 125&deg;. This year, the ultra wide lens now has autofocus, which makes it possible to take macro shots.
The main camera has both optical and electronic image stabilisation, and it can record 4K videos at 30 and 60 frames per second. You can now use the "speech enhancement" feature in 4K/60fps mode as well.
The phone can record 10-bit HDR video, and Google has worked with the makers of apps like Snapchat and TikTok to add support for the higher-quality videos. The machine learning skills of the Tensor G2 chipset are used by the camera app to create cinematic blur or to make handheld video even more stable.
The telephoto camera is exclusive to the Pro. It now has 5x optical zoom and 30x hybrid zoom.
The standard Pixel 7 also has a 50MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide camera like the Pro model. For zooming in, the phone uses its main sensor, which has a fairly high resolution, and Google's Super Res Zoom image processing, which has been improved thanks to the G2 chipset's extra processing power.
The Pixel 7 Pro has a 6.71-inch AMOLED screen with QHD+ LTPO panel with a refresh rate that can range from 10 to 120Hz. The sides of the screen are not as curved as they were last year, but they still have Gorilla Glass Victus to protect them.
The standard Pixel 7 is a little bit smaller than the 6 because its screen is 6.3 inches instead of 6.4 inches. The phone is 155.6 x 73.2 x 8.7 mm and weighs 197 grams.
The screen is still a flat AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, but it is 25 percent brighter than the Pixel 6's display at its brightest point. The refresh rate of this new panel is still only 90Hz, though.&nbsp;

Poco M5 review: Cool design and long battery life

The Poco M5 definitely looks cool in this bright yellow colour. It also comes with a long battery life. So, is it a fantastic budget phone? Read on to find out!

Budget phones are boring. But, the bright yellow device you see here otherwise.&nbsp;
This is the Poco M5 and it aims to get you excited about sub ₹15,000 phones. Does it succeed?
Design
The Poco M5 has a youth-centric, loud aesthetic. The camera window, which stretches horizontally across the device, and the fingerprint-resistant faux leather finish below it, make the M5 anything but boring.
It also does not wobble much on a flat surface.&nbsp;
Do not expect anything fancy on the phone&rsquo;s front however, because it has a V-shaped notch and a decently thick chin.&nbsp;
Because it is a budget phone, the M5 is entirely made from plastic, and its build quality is good for the most part.
However, I do wish that the volume and power buttons, both of which are on the right side, were a little less wobbly.&nbsp;
I also like the fact that, despite having a flat frame, the back panel of the M5 is slightly curved, which makes it comfortable to grip.
Display
The M5 has a 6.58-inch IPS LCD which is as good as it can be on an affordable phone. The display has both a refresh rate of 90Hz as well as a resolution of FHD+. Quite often, companies skimp on one of these features in the affordable segment.&nbsp;
The display also has good colours and its sunlight legibility is the best I&rsquo;ve seen on a phone under ₹15,000.
Utility
The Poco M5 is a dual SIM smartphone with a dedicated microSD card slot. At the bottom of the device you&rsquo;ll find its single speaker, which gives decent audio output. If you look at the top of the device, you&rsquo;d find a headphone jack as well as an IR blaster, both of which are rarities in 2022. &nbsp;
The M5 also has a fingerprint scanner integrated into its power key and it works really well.&nbsp;
Performance &amp; Software
Powering the Poco M5 is the new 6nm Mediatek Helio G99 chipset. The G99 does not support 5G.&nbsp;
Since 5G is all the rage in India at the time of filming this video, I cannot help but be surprised by Poco&rsquo;s decision to include a 4G chipset on this phone.&nbsp;
If you can do without 5G, then you&rsquo;d be quite impressed with the price to performance ratio of the Helio G99.
It could play graphic intense games like Call of Duty mobile on medium graphics and a high frame rate.&nbsp;
On the software front, you get MIUI 13 on top of Android 12. MIUI is a typical love it or hate it affair. It is still a good option for those looking for something more feature-packed than other Android skins. The Poco launcher on this phone also keeps the look and feel of the homepage closer to stock Android.
You do get up to 6GB of RAM on this phone which ensures smooth multitasking
There is definitely a lot of bloatware installed on this phone and yes, you can uninstall most of it. But, to get a truly ad-free experience on the M5 you&rsquo;ll have to turn off notifications of Xiaomi&rsquo;s stock apps as well.&nbsp;
Cameras
The Poco M5 has a 50MP main rear camera. This sensor is accompanied by two 2MP macro and depth sensors, but I'll only focus on the main camera here because the other two are basically there for box ticking purposes.
The results from the primary camera are good for casual social media sharing. This camera actually gives pretty good results in ample natural light. Indoor and nighttime shots aren't as impressive due to increased noise levels, but that&rsquo;s about what you&rsquo;d expect in this segment.
On the other hand, the videos top out at 1080p 30 fps. The video quality is quite good as long as you don&rsquo;t move because stabilisation is non-existent here.
Selfie shots from the 8MP front camera are quite good. I took a bunch of photos that were colour-accurate with minimal detail loss.&nbsp;
Battery Life
The large 5,000mAh battery and the efficient 6nm chipset work big time in the M5&rsquo;s favour when it comes to battery life.
For light users, the M5 is definitely a 2-day battery life smartphone. For most other people, expect at least 7 hours of screen time with normal to heavy use.&nbsp;
The phone supports only 18W fast charging, so it takes approximately 2 hours for it to fully charge.&nbsp;
Verdict
The Poco M5 stands out with its offbeat design, great battery life and good display.
However, its lack of 5G support is a sore point, and it should have been included here.
Still, for those living in tier 2 and 3 cities where the 5G launch is still a bit far away, the Poco M5 could be considered a great contender.

You can now add up to four videos, images, and/or GIFs per tweet. 


Twitter is letting you combine photos, videos, and GIFs in one tweet

You can now add up to four videos, images, and/or GIFs per tweet.&nbsp;

Twitter users have never been able to &nbsp;post pictures, videos, and GIFs together in a same tweet, but now they can. The site has officially that now anyone can post a new tweet that includes more than one type of media.
Since July, Twitter had been slowly adding this feature to a small number of users. Before, tweets could only have a single GIF or video or a few photos. With this change, images, videos, and GIFs can all be added to a single tweet.
Twitter said in a blog post that today's change gives users even more ways to express themselves on the social network.
We are always looking for new and exciting ways to help creators share more and get seen. By putting together different kinds of visual content in a single Tweet, creators can say more than they could in 280 characters and have more ways to tell their story.
Users don't need to know much to make tweets that use both text and media. All you have to do is choose the photos, videos, and GIFs you want to share with your followers.
But there are some things that can't be done. For example, Twitter says you can only add up to four media files per tweet, and the new feature is only available in the official Twitter app for iOS and Android.
It's important to note that tweets with different types of media can be seen by anyone, like a Twitter user using a web browser to look at tweets.
Twitter's acquisition by Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been a roller coaster ride, but the company has also been working on other new features for its users.
This week, Twitter also began giving Blue subscribers the option to edit their tweets. The platform also announced a new way for smartphones to show full-screen vertical videos.

Spotify acquires a company that detects harmful content in podcasts

Spotify claims that Kinzen's technology, which is especially good for podcasts and other audio formats, will help it make its global platform safer for users.

Spotify has acquired Kinzen, an Irish startup that will assist it in detecting and removing harmful content from its platform. The deal amount has not yet been disclosed.&nbsp;
Spotify stated in a statement that Kinzen combines machine learning and human expertise to identify potentially hazardous content and hate speech in several languages.
It stated that Kinzen will help it provide a safer experience on its global platform since the latter's technology is particularly suited to podcasts and other audio formats.
Searching for indicators of dangerous audio material across hundreds of languages is a challenging task. As a result, Spotify claims Kinzen will help it better comprehend the landscape of platform misuse and identify potential dangers.
In fact, the two corporations have been collaborating since 2020 in an effort to combat election-related disinformation.
According to Crunchbase, Kinzen has raised around &euro;2.3 million in fundraising over two rounds, the most recent being a seed round in November 2020.

EU makes USB-C the charging standard for smartphones

Thanks to EU's new law, we now know that the iPhone range will have USB-C connectors in the near future.

New regulations were approved on Tuesday by the European Parliament that will implement a single charging port for mobile phones, tablets, and cameras in the European Union by 2024.
This will be a first of its kind in the world and is likely to have a greater impact on iPhone maker Apple than its competitors.
With this vote, the EU has officially adopted the USB-C connections used by Android-based smartphones, making it mandatory for Apple to redesign the charging port for the iPhone and other iOS devices.
Complaints from iPhone and Android users about needing to buy new chargers for their devices sparked the shift, which had been considered for years.
Although Apple is predicted to be among the most affected among major providers of electronic products to European customers, experts also anticipate a possible positive influence as it may encourage shoppers to purchase the company's newest gadgets rather than ones without USB-C.
Analysts predict that Samsung, Huawei, and other gadget manufacturers would be affected by the agreement because it includes e-readers, earbuds, and other technology.
There were 602 votes in favour of the proposal and only 13 votes against it among EU legislators.
