Honor recently launched the Choice Earbuds X5 in India as the company's latest truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones with support for active noise cancellation (ANC). The wireless headset is claimed to offer up to nine hours of playback with the ANC feature turned off — or up to 35 hours in total with the charging case — while the earphones have an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance. I've spent a couple of weeks using the Honor Choice Earbuds X5 and here's what I think of this wireless headset.Honor Choice Earbuds…

Realme has been delivering quality smartphones in the mid-range for several years. The Realme 12 Pro+ sure made quite an impression at launch. We received a smartphone that looked the part for a mid-ranger, packed in enough performance with capable hardware, and offered an interesting set of cameras which till date are unheard of at this price point. Then, there's the attractive pricing, which makes an even better case for this mid-range device. However, the mid-range has evolved quite a bit over the past year.Smartphones…

Even when the two sentences had the same meaning, the models were more likely to apply adjectives like “dirty,” “lazy,” and “stupid” to speakers of AAE than speakers of Standard American English (SAE). The models associated speakers of AAE with less prestigious jobs (or didn’t associate them with having a job at all), and when asked to pass judgment on a hypothetical criminal defendant, they were more likely to recommend the death penalty.  An even more notable finding may be a flaw the study pinpoints in the ways…

Xiaomi 14 is one of the best examples of how collaborations should work. Here, Xiaomi and Leica have worked together, and we talked in detail about why this is not just a marketing partnership. 2024 is an important year for Xiaomi, not only because it completes 10 years of operations in India but also because this year, plenty of Xiaomi devices will be upgraded to HyperOS, the company's next big move to bring the human x car x home smart ecosystem a reality. We will get into that later in this review. The all-new Xiaomi…

In the attack, hackers create an app that injects malicious code into the Meta Quest VR system and then launch a clone of the VR system’s home screen and apps that looks identical to the user’s original screen. Once inside, attackers can see, record, and modify everything the person does with the headset. That includes tracking voice, gestures, keystrokes, browsing activity, and even the user’s social interactions. The attacker can even change the content of a user’s messages to other people. The research, which was…

A stylish home cinema smart projector with a novel five-channel dual-light optical engine and Dolby Vision? The Horizon Ultra went on sale late last year, and when I was recently given the opportunity to play catchup with the tech-packed home projector, I jumped at it.China's XGIMI founded in 2013, and formed an audio tech partnership with Harman Kardon the following year. The company signed with Google in 2015 to bring Android TV to the home projector market, which was realized with 2018's MoGo Pro.A new Horizon home…

The new model, called RFM-1, was trained on years of data collected from Covariant’s small fleet of item-picking robots that customers like Crate & Barrel and Bonprix use in warehouses around the world, as well as words and videos from the internet. In the coming months, the model will be released to Covariant customers. The company hopes the system will become more capable and efficient as it’s deployed in the real world.  So what can it do? In a demonstration I attended last week, Covariant cofounders Peter Chen…

The news: In the summer of 2021, OpenAI quietly shuttered its mulrobotics team, announcing that progress was being stifled by a lack of data necessary to train robots in how to move and reason using artificial intelligence.Now three of OpenAI’s early research scientists say the startup they spun off in 2017, called Covariant, has solved that problem. They’ve unveiled a system that combines the reasoning skills of large language models with the physical dexterity of an advanced robot. How it works: The new model, called…

Whenever a new phone series comes in, the ‘Pro’ or ‘Ultra’ models usually grab more limelight. This is because we assume that the standard variant would bear more or less the same features as the Pro models, but with some compromises. While this is true in many cases, every now and then, some phones pop up that defy this convention and show that regular variants can offer better value. When I got my hands on the OPPO Reno11 a couple of weeks back, I sincerely hoped that it would belong to this same category. Now that I…
