Design &amp; Comfort
The Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i have a rather unique design, and come in an egg-shaped matte-finish charging case, which is flat on one side to ensure it doesn't roll around on a table. Inside the case there's the two earbuds that feature a circular head and rather long stalks. In this Silver Frost colour variant, both the earbuds and charging case look and feel quite premium.
The buds themselves are quite lightweight, weighing around 5.5g each, and the case weighs around 36.5g. Overall, it's a very compact and handy package, and won't take too much space in your pocket.
The earbuds manage to fit in the ear quite well, but the default eartips were a bit tight for my ears. To this end, Huawei has provided extra eartips, which is handy. Once you've got the right fit, the earbuds sit fairly deep in the ear canal, enough to create a good passive seal against noise.
There's no IP rating for the buds, so I would advise against using them during sweaty workouts or in the rain.
Hardware &amp; Touch Controls
When it comes to specs, the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/editorji-specials/the-ej-tech-show/ej-tech-show-effects-of-mobile-phone-radiation-huawei-freebuds-4i-review-1638023814115">Freebuds 4i</a> house 10mm large drivers, that are tuned in quite a balanced manner. There's also Bluetooth v5.2 here, which ensures the very best connection quality, and gave me no problems throughout my usage.
The Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i get touch controls on the very top of the stalks, which double-tap and touch-and-hold functions. There's no single tap, which I think is a good idea, because it can get triggered accidentally when you're trying to adjust the earbuds.
The touch controls can be used to toggle the active noise cancellation and transparency modes, play, pause or change tracks and also to wake the voice assistant. It is worth noting however, that you can't use touch to change volume with either earbud.
What you can do without touch controls is use the in-ear detection feature to pause content playback when you remove the earbud and resume it once you pop them back in.
Active Noise Cancellation
The Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i come with active noise cancellation technology, which is good to see in this price range.
Now since the earbuds block noise quite well without the ANC itself, the experience is only improved when you turn the feature on. With ANC on, barely any sounds make it through, and when we used them in an office setting, we could barely hear any ambient noise with music playing at around 50% volume.
The transparency mode is useful too, and helps you keep an ear out without having to remove one of the earbuds. It can be toggled using the touch controls, or the Huawei AI Life App.
Music &amp; Video
Sound quality for everyday music-listening is quite enjoyable on the Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i, and they get fairly loud. The sound profile is surprisingly balanced, and doesn't favour bass as most earbuds at this price point do. Details come through quite clearly as well, whether it's while watching films or listening to podcasts.
However, it's worth noting that there's no Equaliser settings, even if you pair the earbuds with the compatible app. This can be remedied by adjusting the EQ settings on music-listening apps, but for apps like YouTube, Netflix and others, you're stuck with the default sound profile.
There's also support for the SBC codec, and the AAC codec as well, which is good to see.
It's worth noting that we did not experience any lag in the audio transmission while watching videos on YouTube or Netflix.
Gaming
When it comes to gaming, there's no low latency mode available on the Freebuds 4i, and that translates to a bit of lag. It's not to the extent that titles like COD mobile are unplayable, but it certainly doesn't make for an ideal gaming experience either.
Calling Quality
Now thanks to those extra-long stalks and a dual-mic system, call quality on the Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i is fantastic. Beamforming technology and AI noise reduction combined with the hardware help reduce background noise around you quite well, and people we spoke to using the earbuds, said they could hear us clearly.
Moreover, their voices were crisp, and not muffled like it usually tends to happen with in-ear buds.
Battery Life
The Freebuds 4i sport 55mAh battery in each earbud, which translates to a claimed 7.5 hours of music playback with ANC on, and 10 hours with ANC off. In our testing, we got well over 5 hours with ANC on while listening to music, watching a few TV shows and taking a couple of long calls. You'll definitely be able to stretch that battery life if you turn ANC off, but if you do need a quick top-up, the charging case holds a respectable 215mAh.
The case sports a USB-C charging port, but there's no wireless charging, which is offered by its competitors at this price point.
Huawei AI Life App
Now Huawei's AI Life App that's available on the Google Play Store hasn't been updated since August last year, but if you do still download it, you'll see there's no support for the Freebuds 4i. However, the app will automatically inform you that you can update to the latest version using the Huawei App Gallery, which you can sideload on Android smartphones.
The updated AI Life app supports pairing with the Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i, and gives you the ability to view battery information, update the firmware, and customise touch controls.
However, we do wish that the app had an option to customise the sound profile and equaliser settings.
It's worth noting that the iOS App Store version of the app gave us no trouble with pairing the earbuds, and offered all the same functions as the updated app from the Huawei App gallery.

Verdict
At ₹7,990, there's a fair bit on offer here. Despite missing out on Equaliser settings and wireless charging, the earbuds do provide a balanced sound profile, excellent noise cancellation, and great sound quality. If you are looking for in-ear true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation at this price point, the Huawei Freebuds 4i are a compelling choice.

Mobile phone radiation: is it killing you?

You may have heard people say that radiation coming from mobile phones is harmful to humans. Some say they cause cancer and memory loss, or that 5G towers give you Covid. But what does medical research have to say on the matter? Is your mobile phone really killing you?

Is mobile phone radiation slowly killing you?
You would have heard a lot of things about the radiation coming from mobile phones. Some people say they cause cancer and memory loss, or that 5G towers will give you Covid. But what does medical research have to say on the matter? Is your mobile phone really killing you?
Short answer - not really. But there are some complex things to consider, so let&rsquo;s dive in.

What is radiation?
First, we need to understand what radiation is. According to the US CDC, radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light. There is a wide range of electromagnetic radiation present in nature, which can be represented on an electromagnetic spectrum. This can further be divided into ionizing and nonionizing radiation
Visible light can be seen around the middle, while to the left of it is the non-ionising radiation, which is low frequency and low energy. It is emitted from things like TV&rsquo;s, Wi-Fi, or even Microwaves.
On the other side is ionising radiation, which has been proven to be harmful to humans. This the kind of radiation that you might get from x-rays or cosmic rays, which can damage DNA, and cause changes to genes which increases the risk of cancer.
What kind of radiation do phones emit?
Before understanding the effects of cell phone radiation, let&rsquo;s first understand what kind of radiation this is. According to the US National Cancer Institute, 2G, 3G, and 4G smartphones emit radiofrequency in the range of 0.7 - 2.7 Ghz, while 5G phones could use the spectrum up to 80 Ghz. This places them squarely in the non-ionising radiation range of the spectrum.
The National Cancer Institute says there is currently no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation increases cancer risk in humans.

How does the body react to cell phones?
The human body does absorb the energy from devices that emit radiofrequency radiation. The only thing that has consistently been observed as a result of this, is that places where you hold a mobile phone can heat up. This heating effect is also not sufficient to lead to a measurable change in body temperature.
According to the National Cancer Institute, there have been three large studies which examined a possible association between smartphone use and cancer. Now, these studies did show some mixed results, but overall, all three studies did not show any such association.
There have also been studies which checked the rate of brain cancer cases every year, since mobile phone use increased exponentially across the world. These also showed that across the past few decades, while mobile phone use has increased exponentially around the world, the rate of brain or nervous system cancers has not grown.
Are mobile phones completely safe?
So, are mobile phones completely safe? The US Food and Drug Administration puts it best: based on the evaluation of the currently available information the weight of scientific evidence has not linked exposure to radio frequency energy from mobile phone use with any health problems.
But this is an active field of study, and lots of research is still underway. In Europe, for example, a study called COSMOS will follow around 3 lakh mobile phone users for 20 to 30 years, to find out the possible long term effects of mobile users.
Which basically means, as far as we know right now, mobile phones do not cause cancer. But, as we continue to study the long term health effects of these devices, we will know more with time.

We may not yet live in a metaverse, but our lives are already increasingly online. From priceless memories captured in photos backed up to the cloud, to love letters sent on e-mail, our lives are memorialised by markers that are increasingly digital. And it&rsquo;s not just items of emotional significance &mdash; many of us now own libraries of films, games, or books that are entirely digital.
This digital existence begs a simple question - after we&rsquo;re gone, what happens to all our stuff? The emails, the pictures, the books and games and films? The answer, unfortunately, is not so simple.

Buying a budget smartphone these days can be quite confusing, thanks to the many many options available out there, so read on to take a look at our top 5 picks for smartphones under ₹10,000.
<h3>Moto e40</h3>
The <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/motorola-launches-moto-e40-smartphone-in-india-check-price-specs-1634035181827" target="_blank">Moto e40</a> was launched in October 2021, and features quite a lot of specs that are usually seen on more expensive smartphones.
The display is a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, and there's a 48MP triple camera system on the back. The 8MP front camera is nestled in a modern-looking punch-hole, which makes the e40 look way more expensive than it actually is. Being a Motorola phone, it runs near-Stock Android, so the interface is clean and free of bloatware. This means the UNISOC t700 octa-core chipset and 4GB RAM are enough to run the device quite smoothly, along with the Android 11. Plus, it gets 64GB of internal storage, but if that's not enough for you, you can fit it with up to 1TB of storage using a microSD card. Despite being a budget offering, it gets things like a USB Type-C port, fingerprint scanner, IP52 water repellent design, and still weighs under 200g. Of course, it also gets the usual bits and bobs like a 3.5mm headphone jack and a full-size dual Nano SIM tray. Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery, and there's 10W charging available.
Bonus: The moto e40 sports a very versatile camera app with things like a Portrait mode, HDR, Macro Vision, Pro mode and Google Lens, all which help get the best results from its 48MP triple camera setup.
<h3>Infinix Hot 10s</h3>
When it comes to specs, the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/infinix-hot-10s-smartphone-launched-in-india-check-price-specs-1621515621105" target="_blank">Infinix Hot 10s</a> offers nearly everything one might want in a smartphone, and was launched in India earlier this year in April.
For starters, there's the powerful Helio G85 chipset under the hood, which helps power its large 6.82-inch HD+ 90Hz display. Add to that a 48MP triple rear camera and 8MP front facing camera, and you've got a phone that boasts of specs beyond its price range. The Infinix Hot 10s also houses a big 6,000mAh battery, and a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication. Moreover, the camera app is full of useful modes and features, like Video bokeh, time-lapse and Super Night Mode. While it sports the micro-USB charging instead of USB Type-C and weighs a fair bit at 211g, it gets a full-size SIM tray, gyroscope, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Bonus: Despite only packing in a 10W adapter in the box, the Infinix Hot 10s supports up to 18W fast charging, which promises to get get the phone to 50% in just 20 minutes.
<h3>realme C15</h3>
Despite being launched last year, realme's C15 packs some interesting specs, and even though it's the only phone here with 3GB RAM, it actually gets quite a lot to make up for the outright grunt.
First up, there's the Helio G35 octa-core chipset, one of the best in the segment, especially for gamers. Then there's a 13MP quad rear camera setup, that includes an 8MP ultra-wide sensor for capturing a wider field-of-view. Moreover, it's battery is a massive 6,000mAh unit that gets 18W quick charging and supports reverse charging as well! Unfortunately, it misses out on USB Type-C charging, gets only 32GB internal storage and is a bit chunky at around 209g and 9.8mm thickness. Still, it gets a fingerprint scanner, 3.5mm headphone jack, 8MP selfie camera and a full-size dual SIM tray, so that's a plus.
Bonus: The realme C15 ships with Android 10 out of the box, but the device has recently begun receiving the Android 11 update in India, with realme UI 2.0.
<h3>Tecno Spark 7T</h3>
Launched in June 2021, the Tecno Spark 7T comes packed with a lot of impressive specs for the price.
There's a Helio G35 chipset, just like the realme c15, and it gets a respectable 4GB RAM with 64GB of expandable storage. However, that experience is certainly better on the Tecno Spark 7T thanks to Android 11 out of the box. On the back is a 48MP dual camera setup, and there's an 8MP sensor for selfies. The screen is a 6.52-inch display with a tear-drop notch and an HD+ resolution, and there's a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone. There's a big 6,000mAh battery under the hood, which certainly makes the phone a touch heavy, at just over 200g. The phone does get a dual nano SIM tray, but it's still using a micro-USB port, and not the more modern USB Type-C. Like with other phones at this price point, it does get a 3.5mm audio jack.
Bonus: The Tecno Spark 7T runs on HiOS 7.6, which brings some interesting features like a Voice changer for calls and a Peek-proof display setting.
<h3>Micromax In 2b</h3>
Homegrown hero Micromax launched its highly-anticipated <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/micromax-in-2b-smartphone-launched-in-india-price-specs-features-1627640769828" target="_blank">Micromax In 2b</a> back in July 2021, touted by the company as the 'No Hang Phone'.
To back that claim, the Micromax In 2b is fitted with a UNISOC T610 chipset and Android 11 and a minimum 4GB RAM. Apart from this, the In 2b sports a 6.52-inch HD+ display, a 13MP dual rear camera setup and 5MP front facing selfie camera in a tear-drop notch. It also gets 64GB expandable storage, fingerprint scanner, a 5,000mAh battery with 10W USB Type-C charging, and a full-size dual SIM tray. All this, and it still weighs only 190g.
Bonus: The In 2b is one of the few phones out there offering a 6GB RAM variant at under ₹10,000, making it quite a compelling choice for power users.
So these were our top 5 picks for smartphones that cost less than ₹10,000. If you're on a strict budget and really want to get the most for your money, these phones are sure to offer you just that.

This week we take a look at how phones get hacked, and what you can do to keep yourself safe. We also review the Jabra Elite 3 TWS earbuds, that solid sound at ₹5,499.

Apple prides itself on its security, and promises on its website that the iPhone&rsquo;s built-in security features help prevent anyone but the user from accessing the data on the phone.
On September 14, Apple launched the iPhone 13. Around 5 weeks after this launch, two separate hacker teams at a Chinese hackathon event broke into the iPhone 13 Pro, running the latest iOS 15.0.2. One of the teams had complete control of the phone&rsquo;s systems in literally one second.&nbsp;
Now, fortunately, this was an entirely legal and above-board event, and these teams will be in touch with Apple to explain how they found these exploits, which should be patched by the next iOS update.
In fact, most big tech companies like Apple and Google have their own &lsquo;bug bounty&rsquo; programs where they hand out cash prizes for developers who can point out exploits to the company, without publicly disclosing this information.
However, this does prove that it is at least technically possible to hack into what is considered the most secure smartphone, through a method that doesn&rsquo;t involve much fault on the user&rsquo;s part.
<h3>What kinds of hackers are there?</h3>
There are, broadly, two kinds of hackers - white hat and black hat. While black hat hackers try and break into servers, computers, and phones for malicious reasons, like stealing data, or extorting money, white hat hackers are different.
Black hat hackers don't need to attend hackathons to try and find ways to break into computers and phones for nefarious purposes. They can do it from any remote location in the world, and their activities are usually aimed at extorting money from an organisation or individual, but can also be used for spying.
Earlier this year, a group of news organisations across the globe published information that a spyware called Pegasus, developed by Israeli agency NSO, was used to spy on politicians, journalists, and activists across the globe. Pegasus was a zero-click hack, meaning that it could infect a phone and have complete access to all device systems, including seeing all files, being able to read anything the user types, and being able to access the camera and microphone feeds at all times. It worked across the latest Android and iOS devices.
Now, spyware like Pegasus is extremely expensive to obtain, partly because it is so rare. This means that it still remains highly unlikely that your phone in particular has been infected by spyware which is this advanced. But it remains theoretically possible.
So, how can you keep yourself safe from hacks like these? How do you make sure you&rsquo;re not hacked?
Well, you really can&rsquo;t. When an exploit is found, depending on the intentions of the hacker who found it, it is usually relayed to the tech company, who issue a fix. If this exploit is a zero-click, like Pegasus was, it does not require you to do anything wrong in order to infect your phone. So there&rsquo;s really nothing you can do right, to prevent this sort of thing.
But there are still a lot of steps you can take to be more secure online, with more common forms of spyware and malware, so let&rsquo;s go through those.
<h3>How to stay safe online</h3>
Firstly, always keep all your devices updated to the latest available software, including your phone and your laptop or desktop computer. I know frequent updates are annoying, but it&rsquo;s important to always be running the newest software. If a fix for attacks like Pegasus is released, it can only be downloaded to your phone through a system update. So, if you see that an update is available, don&rsquo;t wait, do it now.
It is possible to protect yourself from less advanced attacks through your own diligence. Be careful and second guess everything you see on the internet, or get in an e-mail or text message. If you get a text offering you the latest WhatsApp gold version with extra features, or an e-mail saying that a long-lost relative has died and left you millions in inheritance, don&rsquo;t believe it immediately. If a claim sounds too good to be true, it often is. It&rsquo;s always best to google offers and claims like this to see if they are spyware, or check if the sender is confirmed to be an organisation or someone impersonating them.
Another very important step is to make sure you don&rsquo;t use the same password for everything. It&rsquo;s really hard to remember lots of different passwords, but re-using the same password means that if one of your accounts gets hacked, you also lose access to all other accounts and services. Using a unique password for every separate account you have can be tedious, but it&rsquo;s an absolute must if you want to be more secure, and safeguard yourself from attacks. You can also use a password manager app to help you remember different passwords.

How phones get hacked (and how you can stay safe)

In the times we live in, it’s important to remember that your data is never truly safe. In the days of zero-click and zero-day attacks, theoretically it is always possible that someone could hack into your phone without you knowing. But what you can do is lower the chances of this happening, and make sure that you’re as safe online as you can be. Watch this editorji video to find out the best ways to stay safe online.

Apple prides itself on its security, and promises on its website that the iPhone&rsquo;s built-in security features help prevent anyone but the user from accessing the data on the phone.
On September 14, Apple launched the iPhone 13. Around 5 weeks after this launch, two separate hacker teams at a Chinese hackathon event broke into the iPhone 13 Pro, running the latest iOS 15.0.2. One of the teams had complete control of the phone&rsquo;s systems in literally one second.&nbsp;
 Now, fortunately, this was an entirely legal and above-board event, and these teams will be in touch with Apple to explain how they found these exploits, which should be patched by the next iOS update.
 In fact, most big tech companies like Apple and Google have their own &lsquo;bug bounty&rsquo; programs where they hand out cash prizes for developers who can point out exploits to the company, without publicly disclosing this information.
 However, this does prove that it is at least technically possible to hack into what is considered the most secure smartphone, through a method that doesn&rsquo;t involve much fault on the user&rsquo;s part.
 title: How Phones Get Hacked​
 There are, broadly, two kinds of hackers - white hat and black hat. While black hat hackers try and break into servers, computers, and phones for malicious reasons, like stealing data, or extorting money, white hat hackers are different.
 Black hat hackers don't need to attend hackathons to try and find ways to break into computers and phones for nefarious purposes. They can do it from any remote location in the world, and their activities are usually aimed at extorting money from an organisation or individual, but can also be used for spying.
 Earlier this year, a group of news organisations across the globe published information that a spyware called Pegasus, developed by Israeli agency NSO, was used to spy on politicians, journalists, and activists across the globe. Pegasus was a zero-click hack, meaning that it could infect a phone and have complete access to all device systems, including seeing all files, being able to read anything the user types, and being able to access the camera and microphone feeds at all times. It worked across the latest Android and iOS devices.
 Now, spyware like Pegasus is extremely expensive to obtain, partly because it is so rare. This means that it still remains highly unlikely that your phone in particular has been infected by spyware which is this advanced. But it remains theoretically possible.
 So, how can you keep yourself safe from hacks like these? How do you make sure you&rsquo;re not hacked?
 Well, you really can&rsquo;t. When an exploit is found, depending on the intentions of the hacker who found it, it is usually relayed to the tech company, who issue a fix. If this exploit is a zero-click, like Pegasus was, it does not require you to do anything wrong in order to infect your phone. So there&rsquo;s really nothing you can do right, to prevent this sort of thing.
 But there are still a lot of steps you can take to be more secure online, with more common forms of spyware and malware, so let&rsquo;s go through those. Firstly, always keep all your devices updated to the latest available software, including your phone and your laptop or desktop computer. I know frequent updates are annoying, but it&rsquo;s important to always be running the newest software. If a fix for attacks like Pegasus is released, it can only be downloaded to your phone through a system update. So, if you see that an update is available, don&rsquo;t wait, do it now.
 It is possible to protect yourself from less advanced attacks through your own diligence. Be careful and second guess everything you see on the internet, or get in an e-mail or text message. If you get a text offering you the latest WhatsApp gold version with extra features, or an e-mail saying that a long-lost relative has died and left you millions in inheritance, don&rsquo;t believe it immediately. If a claim sounds too good to be true, it often is. It&rsquo;s always best to google offers and claims like this to see if they are spyware, or check if the sender is confirmed to be an organisation or someone impersonating them.

Realme UI 3.0 Review: Best Features!

Realme UI 3.0 has been introduced, chock full with improvements and changes from Android 12. Take a look at some of the best features on the latest operating system from Realme in this editorji review.

Realme is best known for its affordable yet well-specced smartphones and a rather maverick attitude when it comes to design. But today, we're not taking a look at a new smartphone, no. Today is all about Realme UI 3.0, the brand's latest operating system based on Android 12.
Design As we said, Realme always puts great emphasis on design, and with Realme UI 3.0, it's more of the same.
The icons have been slightly tweaked to look more three dimensional, as compared to the previous version. Of course, they're still minimal and colourful, but they do look a little better than before.
Moreover, the user interface has been made to look more clutter-free, so buttons are larger and well-spaced, and the entire experience looks more fluid than it ever has. In fact, since Realme UI is based on ColorOS, it wouldn't be wrong to say that everything looks quite similar to what we recently saw on the Oppo Find X3 Pro, that was running ColorOS 12.
Now like ColorOS 12, you get plenty of new personalisation features, including what Realme calls the Smart Theming Engine, which lets you set the colours of your interface to whatever you like. You can even have them select colours from a Wallpaper, so that whenever you change it, the colours of the interface will change to match.
Apart from this, there's also the ultimate personalisation feature called Sketchpad AOD. It's been inspired by the Canvas AOD on OxygenOS 11, and lets you turn a picture of yourself into a custom wallpaper for the always-on-display.
There's also Floating Window 2.0, which allows you to turn apps into, well, floating windows for better multitasking. You can enable this from the Smart Sidebar, or you can swipe up from the bottom, and push the app into the upper part of the screen. This only works on supported apps though, and while the native Videos app and Netflix work fine for playing videos in the background, apps like YouTube do not support this feature yet.
Privacy When it comes to privacy, Realme has really upped its game with this new operating system.
First up, there's the Privacy Dashboard that Android 12 brings, which lets you monitor each app's usage, and what permissions they've used and at what point. You can change these permissions on the fly, and use the dashboard to see if any app is using features on your phone that you'd rather it not use.
You can also disable the microphone and camera completely at any time you want, but it's worth noting that while ColorOS 12 has quick toggles in the swipe down menu for this feature, in Realme UI 3.0, you're going have to do this in the Settings app.
Apart from this, you can erase private information captured on an image when sharing it, so as to not reveal the location, time stamp and camera model, and you can choose to give apps either your precise or approximate location.
Optimisations Realme has also worked to bring a better user experience with Realme UI 3.0 in the form of optimisation.
Realme claims there's less memory fragmentation, and more utilisation, while apps launch 13% quicker due to smarter resource allocation. Moreover, memory usage is down by a claimed 30%, and battery life has been improved by 12%.
Overall, the interface does run quite smoothly, even if that is partly down to the 12GB RAM and Snapdragon 888 chip on this Realme GT.
Realme UI 3.0 Early Access Rollout For Indian users enrolled in the Early Access program, Realme UI 3.0 will be pushed to Realme GT 5G devices in October 2021. The Realme GT Master Edition, GT Neo2 5G, X7 Max and Realme 8 Pro, will receive the update in December 2021.
Other devices including the X7 Pro, Narzo 50A, Narzo 30, and more, will get the update in Q1 next year, while the X7, realme 8 5G, Narzo 30 Pro 5G and realme 8s will get Reame UI 3.0 in Q2 2022.
Verdict All in all, Realme UI 3.0 feels more polished and productive than the previous iteration, and we're glad that the brand has integrated quite a few useful features from ColorOS 12. Android 12's privacy enhancements have also been integrated well, making it one of the nicest skins to use out there.

From a plane with no moving parts, to wood as strong as titanium, there was no end to innovation this year. Technology took a quantum leap in 2018, quite literally.

Developed by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a plane with no moving parts -- no turbines, propellers or even fans -- took flight in November. The prototype was powered by 'ionic wind' --the flow of ions produced by the plane that creates enough thrust to push it through air.

Researchers at the University of Maryland found a way to make wood more than 10 times times stronger and tougher, creating a natural substance that is stronger than many titanium alloys. 

Technology also found its way into the written word. A new font called Sans Forgetica can help you remember what you read. The font has individual letters with omitted segments, forcing you to pay more attention.

Researchers at Google developed an AI app that can predict heart disease by looking at pictures of the retina, and its 70% accurate, almost like that of blood tests.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 will be available to pre-order in India on December 6, as reports indicate Sony is preparing an Xbox Game Pass rival called 'Spartacus'.

PS5 up for pre-order on December 6 as Sony readies ‘Spartacus’ Xbox Game Pass rival

Sony&rsquo;s PlayStation 5 will be available to pre-order in India on December 6. Sony&rsquo;s official web store in India, ShopAtSC, announced the date. The pre-orders will be open from 12 noon on Sony&rsquo;s website. The PS5 Standard Edition has been listed at ₹49,990, while the PS5 Digital Edition, which comes without a disk drive, has been listed at ₹39,990. A report by Bloomberg indicates that Sony is readying a game subscription service to combat Microsoft&rsquo;s Xbox Game Pass. This service, known by the codename &lsquo;Spartacus&rsquo;, would combine the current PlayStation Plus subscription and PlayStation Now streaming service, and include the ability to play a library of classic PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games.

Sony&rsquo;s PlayStation 5 will be available to pre-order in India on December 6, as reports indicate Sony is preparing an Xbox&nbsp;Game Pass rival called 'Spartacus'.

Sony&rsquo;s PlayStation 5 will be available to pre-order in India on December 6. Sony&rsquo;s official web store in India, ShopAtSC, announced the date. The pre-orders will be open from 12 noon on Sony&rsquo;s website.
Other retailers, including Amazon, Flipkart, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Vijay Sales, Prepaid Gamer Card, and Croma, have also listed the console for pre-order, but have not mentioned the date. However, the PS5 will probably go up for pre-order at the same time as ShopAtSC.
The <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/apple-music-app-now-available-for-ps5-1635420313138" target="_blank">PS5</a> Standard Edition has been listed at ₹49,990, while the PS5 Digital Edition, which comes without a disk drive, has been listed at ₹39,990. The PS5 has faced constant lack of supply issues since its launch last year, as it has reeled from the global chip shortage. However, Sony said on July 18 that it had sold over 10 million PS5 consoles since launch, making the PS5 its fastest selling console ever.

<h2>&lsquo;Spartacus&rsquo; subscription service to take on Xbox Game Pass</h2>
A report by Bloomberg indicates that Sony is readying a game subscription service to combat Microsoft&rsquo;s Xbox Game Pass. This service, known by the codename &lsquo;Spartacus&rsquo;, would combine the current PlayStation Plus subscription and PlayStation Now streaming service.
The service would reportedly encompass three tiers. The first tier would include current PlayStation Plus benefits, which includes the ability to play online multiplayer, cloud storage for game saves, and a selection of free PS4 and PS5 games each month. The second tier would include a library of PS4 and PS5 games, which users are free to download and play, much like Xbox Game Pass. The third tier would let subscribers stream games, like PlayStation Now does currently, and access a library of classic PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games.
Sony has not officially announced any plans for a subscription service yet.

Samsung&rsquo;s flavour of Android 12, called One UI 4, is now available as an update for the Galaxy S21 series in India. Here&rsquo;s an overview of all the best new features you can expect from One UI 4.

Samsung has garnered quite the reputation for being very fast with Android updates, and for good reason. Their flavour of Android 12, called One UI 4, is now available as an update for the Galaxy S21 series in India, and other devices should also be getting it soon. Before you hit that update button, here&rsquo;s an overview of all the best new features you can expect from One UI 4.
<h2>One UI 4: Material You</h2>
Although Google has completely overhauled Android&rsquo;s look and feel with Android 12, with the OS being extremely visually different from Android 11, Samsung has not gone that far. One UI 4 gets some new tweaks, but overall the look is quite similar to One UI 3. Which, by the way, I&rsquo;m pretty glad about, because I&rsquo;m not a huge fan of the new Android 12 look.
You get aspects of Google&rsquo;s new design language, called Material You. One of the main features present is the colour palette, which can automatically pick out device theme colours based on your wallpaper. These colours apply in the device UI, but also apps that have been updated to support Material You, and icons on the home screen if you so choose. For me, this is one of the best features of One UI 4.

<h2>One UI 4: Privacy</h2>
A big focus for Android 12 is privacy, and One UI 4 is no different. Quite notably, you&rsquo;ll now get green notification dots on the top right whenever your camera or microphone is accessed, making sure no app can use these without you knowing.
You also get the Privacy Dashboard, which is a new one-stop shop which can be accessed through the new &lsquo;Privacy&rsquo; entry in the settings menu. The Dashboard lets you switch Camera and Microphone access on or off completely, and get detailed analysis about which permissions have been used over time, and which apps asked for them, with specific time stamps. Also new in Android 12 is the option to give a precise or approximate location, when an app asks for it.
Samsung also gives you the option to get an alert if an app accesses text, images, or any other content from the clipboard, that you&rsquo;ve copied.
<h2>One UI 4: Camera and Gallery</h2>
One major change is the UI for the camera app. Notably, the buttons to change camera lenses now show you what zoom level you&rsquo;re using in numbers, rather than the trees used in One UI 3. This makes it much more clear. The scene optimiser or document scanner icons will now only show up if those features are activated, and there are some changes to the Pro mode layout as well.
Samsung has changed the shutter button delay for videos, where it used to start recording when you released the button, but now records right from when you press the button instead.
The Gallery app has received some changes. Quite notably there&rsquo;s now an object eraser tool, which can erase objects from photos much like the Pixel 6&rsquo;s Magic Eraser feature. This was available experimentally on some devices with One UI 3, but is now a standard feature with One UI 4.

<h2>One UI 4: Accessibility</h2>
There are a few new accessibility feature in One UI 4, like the Flash Notifications setting. This gives you the option to flash the display, the flashlight, or both, when you receive notifications. You can choose to do so for all notifications, or ones from specific apps.
There&rsquo;s a new &lsquo;Extra Dim&rsquo; option for the display, which lets you bring down brightness even more than the previous lowest setting, which could be useful in pitch-black situations. You can also choose to reduce transparency and blur effects on system dialogues and menus to make them easier to see.
<h2>One UI 4: RAM Plus</h2>
In One UI 4, Samsung has added their own virtual RAM expansion feature, which has gotten quite popular these days. They call this RAM Plus, and it can use the internal storage as extra RAM, similar to a page file on a desktop OS.
On this Galaxy S21+ unit, which has 8GB of RAM, you get 4GB of RAM Plus by default. There&rsquo;s no way to change this allocation or turn it off.

<h2>One UI 4: Look and Feel</h2>
There have been numerous other small changes to the UI.
The quick settings or notifications panel has got some minor tweaks. The brightness slider is now bigger, and you can choose to have it present on the notifications screen itself. The Device Control and Media Output buttons are renamed and slightly bigger. The Media Output button, which lets you decide if you want playback from a specific device, is now accessible from the lock screen itself.
Widgets get a new look with rounded corners, and there&rsquo;s a new widget picker for the default One UI Home launcher, which looks a lot like the new default Android 12 implementation.
The size of the picture-in-picture floating video player can now be changed by pinching in or out, which is a great quality of life feature.
The share menu has received an overhaul, where you can now finally choose a list of favourite apps, which you frequently share content to. All your other apps are also available through a simple tap.
The device care menu has been redesigned with a new look, where an emoji now tells you how well you&rsquo;re taking care of your device.
There&rsquo;s a new charging animation with One UI 4, which is more colourful than the previous iteration.
<h2>One UI 4: Verdict</h2>
Samsung has delivered a very mature update with One UI 4, which integrates some of the best new features of Android 12 like the privacy enhancements and colour picker, but keeps Samsung&rsquo;s very distinct identity and look. There are lots of new little changes and tweaks to discover with the new update.
