Despite appearing in several leaks, very little is known about the upcoming Oppo X7 Pro, a camera-centric flagship smartphone that is set to replace the Oppo Find X6 Pro. While the phone was recently expected to launch in China in November, a new launch timeline hints that it will be announced with several other products before the Spring Festival (which takes place early next year in the month of February). While earlier leaks have suggested interesting details about its rear camera's unique telephoto setup , there's now an alleged real-world image that shows the design of the camera itself. A post on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, shows an image of what has been reported as the Oppo Find X7 Pro, being used in public transit. The phone is seen with a rounded silver metal frame, but seems to have a soft finish (or faux leather) real panel. What's unmissable is the colossal rear camera module that sees four cameras arranged into a hexagonal shaped layout. The came

Does the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S23 FE deliver on the brand's promise when they introduced the first ‘Fan Edition' smartphone, and should you buy it at a starting price of Rs. 59,999?

Amazon.com on Tuesday announced a new artificial intelligence chip for its cloud computing service as competition with Microsoft to dominate the market for artificial intelligence heats up. At a conference in Las Vegas, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Chief Executive Adam Selipsky announced Trainium2, the second generation of chip designed for training AI systems. Selipsky said the new version is four times as fast as its predecessor while being twice as energy efficient. The AWS move comes weeks after Microsoft announced its own AI chip called Maia. The Trainium2 chip will also compete against AI chips from Alphabet 's Google , which has offered its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) to its cloud computing customers since 2018. Selipsky said that AWS will start offering the new training chips next year. The proliferation of custom chips comes amid a scramble to find the computing power to develop technologies such as large language models that form the basis of services similar to Chat

Elon Musk -owned social media company X could lose as much as $75 million (nearly Rs. 625 crore) in advertising revenue by the end of the year as dozens of major brands pause their marketing campaigns, the New York Times reported on Friday. Musk backing an antisemitic post on the platform last week has led several companies including Walt Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery to pause their advertisements on the site formerly called Twitter .  X has struck back and sued media watchdog group Media Matters, alleging the organization defamed the platform with a report that said ads for major brands including Apple and Oracle had appeared next to posts touting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.  Internal documents viewed by The New York Times this week list more than 200 ad units of companies from the likes of Airbnb, Amazon , Coca-Cola and Microsoft , many of which have halted or are considering pausing their ads on the social network, the report said.  X said on Friday $11 million (n

Apple announced its brand new Journal app during WWDC in June this year. The app is said to help users to write down their thoughts, keep a daily log, and as Apple says, a “new way to reflect on and relive special moments”. It can also give you suggestions on what to write about, and that's done by using data from your phone. Now, that sounds scary, but it's actually not. The Journal app is currently available in iOS 17.2 Public beta 2 and will be available to all compatible iPhone users when iOS 17.2 is released. I've been using Apple's Journal app for a couple of weeks now, and here's what I think of it. Journal app features I've never been one to write down my thoughts, but the Journal app made me want to. It has been proven that journaling or writing down your thoughts is good for your mental health. To me, writing things down was and is mostly associated with remembering things.

Sam Altman 's return as OpenAI's chief executive will strengthen his grip on the startup and may leave the ChatGPT creator with fewer checks on his power as the company introduces technology that could upend industries, corporate governance experts and analysts said. OpenAI is bringing Altman back just days after his ouster as well as installing a revamped board that could bring sharper scrutiny to the startup at the heart of the AI boom, but strong support from investors including Microsoft may give Altman more leeway to commercialize the technology.  "Sam's return may put an end to the turmoil on the surface, but there may continue to be deep governance issues," said Mak Yuen Teen, director of the centre for investor protection at the National University of Singapore Business School. "Altman seems awfully powerful and it is unclear that any board would be able to oversee him. The danger is the board becomes a rubber stamp," he said. OpenAI's

India vs Australia World Cup 2023 Finals is scheduled to take place today on November 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium (Motera Stadium) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It will be a deja vu for all cricket fans after 20 long years as the two teams last played a World Cup Finals in 2003, where Australia defeated team India to become the world champions. This time, the tables might turn around as the host country has been consistently in a good form, winning all the 10 matches played so far.  India suffered a minute shock when Hardik Pandya was declared injured and unfit for the World Cup matches. However, the replacements have been able to live up to expectations from them. The two shining players of the team are Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami, breaking records in this tournament. Skipper Rohit Kohli has been leading India with an impressive run rate at the beginning of each match, while Shreyas Iyer has also proved his talent in the last few matches.

Amazon.com on Friday announced it is trimming jobs at its Alexa voice assistant unit, citing shifting business priorities and a greater focus on generative artificial intelligence . The cuts affect several hundred employees working on Alexa, according to the email. A spokeswoman declined to elaborate on exactly how many were affected. "We're shifting some of our efforts to better align with our business priorities, and what we know matters most to customers — which includes maximising our resources and efforts focused on generative AI," Daniel Rausch, vice president of Alexa and Fire TV , said in the email. "These shifts are leading us to discontinue some initiatives." Amazon has been pulling back in a variety of divisions this month, including in its music and gaming divisions and some human resources roles.  While most of the jobs affected were in the devices division, a few were working on Alexa-related products in a different unit, a spokeswoman said.
