HMD has introduced a new smartphone with some pretty dated specs, even for its price. Meet the HMD Asha 305. While the official specs list was not confirmed by the company, a website called gsmchoice.com reveals that the HMD Asha 305 is powered by a UNISOC SC9832E processor, a chipset released way back in 2018. It only has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It also has a very underwhelming 5-inch IPS display with only an 854 x 480 resolution and thick bezels on top and bottom. There’s a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel selfie-snapper on the front. What’s worse, it ships with Android 14 Go software. Also, it only has a 2,500mAh battery.

Xiaomi launches C701 Pro home camera in the Philippines

Xiaomi has released a new indoor security camera in the Philippines, the Xiaomi C701 Pro . The device is aimed at families who want to keep an eye on young children, aging parents, or pets while they are away from home. The camera uses two lenses to deliver clear video. One lens captures wide shots, while the other handles close-ups. Users can zoom in up to 9 times to see fine details. The camera can also lock onto a moving person or pet and follow them around the room. Nighttime viewing is another strong point. The C701 Pro can show colour images in low light, which many security cameras struggle with. Its night vision mode uses infrared lights that do not glow red, so it won’t bother anyone trying to sleep. Privacy is a growing concern with home cameras, and Xiaomi has added some thoughtful touches. The C701 Pro comes with a physical cover that slides over the lens. You can close it manually or through the mobile app when you do not want the camera recording. ...

Waze launches motorcycle mode and AI voice features

Waze has just announced a handful of fresh updates that aim to make navigation smoother for everyone, from bike riders to daily commuters. For starters, motorcycle riders now have their own dedicated mode. This setting uses smart technology to find routes that suit bikes better, like smaller roads and special shortcuts. It also warns riders about bumpy roads, narrow bridges, and other hazards that can be tricky on two wheels. The app is also learning your habits. If you always take the freeway instead of side streets, Waze will start suggesting similar routes based on your past drives. You can turn this off if you prefer the old way. There is also a quieter voice option now. It cuts back on frequent updates so you hear fewer prompts, but you will still get key alerts for turns and road dangers. On the voice control side, Waze has made reporting easier. You can now speak naturally to tell the app about closed roads or wrong addresses. These reports get checked by vo...
