Beats Pill portable speaker with 24-hour battery life, USB-C connectivity announced

Beats discontinued its last Bluetooth speaker, the Pill+, back in 2022. Before this decision, Beats had enjoyed success with a range of smaller, portable speakers, including the original Pill and Pill XL models. 9 years after the last release, Beats has reintroduced its new Pill portable speaker, showcasing a completely redesigned and re-engineered version. The most noticeable change in the new Beats Pill is its 20-degree upward tilt, which the company claims enhances sound projection. Beats promises “more powerful, room-filling sound, bigger bass, and improved tonality” thanks to an updated woofer and tweeter combination designed to reduce distortion. Additionally, the new Pill is 10 percent lighter than the Pill+ and features a removable lanyard for easier portability. The speaker is also IP67 rated for dust and water resistance, making it durable enough to survive brief submersion in water. Similar to previous models, users can sync two Beats Pill speakers for stereo audio.

HONOR 200 series confirmed to launch in PH

After teasing whether the HONOR 200 series will arrive in the Philippines or not, the company has now confirmed that it will indeed launch its latest sub-flagship phones in the country. HONOR Philippines is posing the HONOR 200 series as the AI Portrait Master as it features a Four-Layer AI Architecture that consists of Cross-device and Cross-OS AI, App-level AI, Platform-level AI, and Interface to Cloud-AI services. The company has begun campaigning for the local release of the series with the help of Studio Harcourt-themed photos. This partnership is valuable to HONOR as it’s a prestigious institution based in Paris with its special effects integrated with the “DSLR-killer” cameras of the HONOR 200. For a quick recap, the HONOR 200 Pro boasts a sub-flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, a 120Hz FHD+ OLED screen, 5,200mAh battery, and 100W wired, 66W wireless, and 5W reverse charging.

Blackmagic Camera app arrives on Android

Blackmagic’s renowned mobile app called Blackmagic Camera has finally landed on the Google Play Store — with one big caveat. The Blackmagic Camera app first arrived on iOS devices last September and works with devices powered by A12 Bionic Chip and later, which means it is compatible with the newer iPhones up to the iPhone Xs series and XR from five years ago. Sadly, that expansive compatibility is missing for the now-available Android version as it only works with the Samsung Galaxy S23, S24, and Google Pixel 7 and 8. Developing the app might have required a lot of specificity per device, so they may have been forced to focus on only a few smartphones. That said, the lucky devices will benefit from the upgraded video-recording capabilities of the Blackmagic Camera app. The company highlighted how users can access a user-friendly interface akin to its professional cameras. Users can shoot their projects with pro tools like manual frame rate adjustment, shutter angle, ISO,
