TECNO Spark 50 4G: Helio G81 CPU, 120Hz HD+ display, 7,000mAh battery

TECNO has unveiled another iPhone 17 Pro-looking budget phone, the TECNO Spark 50 4G. Unlike the iPhone Air -inspired Spark 50 5G , the camera plateau on the TECNO Spark 50 4G looks undeniably inspired by the iPhone 17 Pro series . The Halo Blue colorway appears to have a halo surrounding the camera island, but we can’t confirm if it’s indeed actual lighting or just part of the paint job. A big feature of the Spark 50 4G is the large 7,000mAh battery. TECNO claims it can last for up to 28 hours of continuous video playback and can keep 80% of its health after 5 years of normal use. This big battery is charged by an 18W adapter. For the cameras, there’s a 50-megapixel sensor on the back and an 8-megapixel sensor on the front. Powering the device is a MediaTek Helio G81 octa-core processor, with up to 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. There’s a large 6.78-inch display with only an HD+ resolution, but a high 120Hz refresh rate. You also get features like FreeLink 2.0 to mak...

DTI introduces 10 year plan to expand semiconductors production in PH

The Philippine government wants to turn the country into a major hub for semiconductors and electronics. The goal is to hit $110 billion in yearly exports by the year 2030. Officials from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) shared this plan during a meeting at Malacañang. The meeting was led by the Semiconductor and Electronics Industry Advisory Council. Under the proposal, $70 billion of that total would come from semiconductors. The remaining $40 billion would come from other electronics products. A big part of the plan is building up PH’s talent pool. The government wants to train or upgrade the skills of 128,000 workers over the next five years. These workers will fill jobs in the chip and electronics sector. Executive Secretary Ralph G. Recto said the industry is already a huge part of the Philippine economy. Right now, it brings in nearly 60% of all export earnings. It also provides jobs for about 3 million people across the country. The roadmap also lays out con...

Insta360 Snap brings a 3.5-Inch touchscreen for your rear cameras

If you have ever tried to record a video using your phone’s main camera while also seeing what is in the shot, you know the struggle. The screen is on the back, which means you are basically guessing. Insta360 thinks it has a clever fix. The company just announced the Insta360 Snap , a magnetic accessory that gives you a proper viewfinder without needing a whole second phone. The Snap is a 3.5-inch touchscreen that sticks to the back of your phone using magnets. It works like a tiny external monitor. You can see exactly what your rear cameras see, which is great for vloggers or anyone shooting high quality video. It also mirrors your phone’s screen, so you can still tap through apps and menus while using it. DJI Avata 360: 8K 1-inch sensors, O4+ FHD transmission, Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing The connection is all through USB-C. The Snap plugs directly into your phone and runs on your phone’s battery.

Razer Hammerhead V3 HyperSpeed earbuds improves latency, battery life

Razer has just dropped a new pair of wireless earbuds aimed at people who play games on multiple devices. Meet the new Razer Hammerhead V3 HyperSpeed and Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed . The main feature is speed. When you are playing a game, even a tiny audio delay can throw you off. Razer designed these earbuds to keep that lag very low by using its own 2.4GHz wireless system. This works with a lot of different hardware, including the PS5, Steam Deck, computers, tablets, and smartphones. If your device does not support that type of connection, you can still use regular Bluetooth. The earbuds come with a small USB-C dongle stored inside the charging case. That dongle pulls double duty. It works as a wireless transmitter when you plug it into your device. And you can use the dongle by itself without the case if you want. One handy feature is fast switching. You can jump between the 2.4GHz connection and Bluetooth without much trouble. For example, you could be playing a game on yo...

Meta’s new Muse Spark can plan trips, read snack labels, and build mini games

Meta just released a new AI model called Muse Spark. The company says this one is different as it’s built to actually help people with everyday stuff, not just give fancy answers. Muse Spark comes from Meta Superintelligence Labs. The team spent nine months rebuilding their technology from scratch. This is the first model in a new series, and it’s designed to be small and fast. But despite that, Meta says that it can still handle tough questions in science, math, and health. The Meta AI app and website are getting an upgrade right now. You can choose between two speeds. One gives you quick answers. The other takes more time to think through harder problems. Here’s a real example. Say you’re planning a trip to with your family. The new AI can run multiple tasks at the same time. One part works on the schedule. Another compares different cities. A third looks for fun kids’ activities. You get a complete answer much faster than before. Most AIs only read text, but Muse Spark can ...
