Clear and Stable: A deep-dive into OPPO Reno15 Series 4K HDR Ultra-Steady System

Content creators need to be fast and reactive. Once a moment presents itself, they should be quick to pull out their phone and start recording — no time to set up tripods or gimbals. The sad thing is, not every camera phone is up to the task of taking smooth videos during spontaneous moments. To do this, a smartphone needs to have a robust image stabilization system, which is exactly what the 4K HDR Ultra-Steady System is. Found on the latest OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G , this stabilization technology utilizes both hardware and software to ensure all your videos are smooth and steady, even under 4K resolution. Pull out your phone, hit record, and stay on the move. No need to stand still and miss the fun just to take good videos. But the question is, how does this technology actually work? The OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G has three 50-megapixel cameras and a very sharp 200-megapixel main shooter. But that’s not the only impressive stuff. Both the sharp main camera and telephoto cameras are equip...

Most Filipino workers learn AI skills on their own, not from employers — study

A new survey suggests that many workers in the Philippines are teaching themselves how to use artificial intelligence outside of work. The Salesforce and YouGov study, which looked at over 1,000 office workers across the country, found that personal use of AI builds more trust than company-led training. About 68% of respondents said using AI at home made them trust it more at work. Another 70% said it made them feel more confident. Younger workers showed the highest levels of trust, with nearly 3 out of 4 saying their personal AI use helped them see the technology in a more positive light at the office. While many workers are already using AI on the job, companies are falling behind in training. Only about a third of workers said their employer provides training on AI tools. Even fewer said their company encourages managers to share how they use AI or invests in ways for employees to learn from each other. This gap comes with risks. When workers use unapproved AI tools on their...

Instagram Plus to roll out in the Philippines

Meta is quietly testing a paid version of Instagram that offers extra features for regular users. The trial, which appears to be running in several countries, gives subscribers a set of tools not available on the free version of the app. People on the plan can view Stories without leaving a trace. They can also see how often their own Stories get rewatched. Another feature lets them sort followers into different groups for sharing posts, instead of being limited to a single close friends list. What are disappearing messages, and how do they work? Why do people change to the default profile picture on social media? Subscribers can also keep a Story online for an extra day and boost one Story per week so it shows up more clearly in other people’s feeds. Other additions include animated reactions and a way to search through the list of people who have viewed a post. The trial is reportedly happening in Mexico, Japan, and the Philippines based on screenshots shared by users. P...

Apple will allow Gemini and Claude to replace ChatGPT in Siri — report

Apple is planning to give iPhone users the freedom to pick which AI chatbot works with Siri. The change is expected to arrive with the iOS 27 update later this year. According to a report from Bloomberg , Apple will introduce a new system called “Extensions.” This feature will let users connect third-party chatbots downloaded from the App Store directly to Siri. That means instead of being stuck with just one option, people could choose to link services like Google’s Gemini or Anthropic’s Claude to handle their voice assistant requests. The way it works is expected to be similar to how Siri already works with OpenAI’s ChatGPT today. When a user asks a question that the chatbot is better suited to answer, Siri will be able to fetch a reply from whichever service the person has enabled. Bloomberg reports that the Extensions system will work across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It will also tie into a standalone app that Apple is reportedly developing for its more advanced version of Sir...

UGREEN MagFlow Air Qi2 is a slim 10,000mAh powerbank with Qi2 support

UGREEN has introduced a new portable charger that tries to cut down on cable clutter. The UGREEN MagFlow Air Qi2 comes with its own built-in USB-C cord and snaps onto the back of a phone using magnets. The battery is fairly compact for its size. It measures 111mm wide and is just under 14mm thick, weighing a little over 200 grams. The outer casing has a matte finish designed to hide smudges. When used wirelessly, the UGREEN MagFlow Air Qi2 powerbank can charge at up to 15 watts thanks to the Qi2 magnetic connection. UGREEN says an iPhone can get to about a third of its battery in roughly half an hour using this method. A built-in braided cable is also here. It handles charging in both directions, meaning you can use it to power up a phone or tablet, or plug it in to recharge the power bank itself. It supports speeds up to 30 watts. Inside, the 10,000mAh battery uses an ATL cell. UGREEN estimates it can fully charge an iPhone Air about one and a half times, and a larger Pro Ma...
