Vivo X Fold 3 Pro vs OnePlus Open: Which Is the Better Foldable?
View quick summary
There's no doubt that the latest Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is a more modern foldable in comparison to the OnePlus Open. From bigger and brighter displays to a bigger battery and faster charging, the X Fold 3 Pro has a lot of good things going for it. However, the one area where OnePlus Open undeniably shines is the software experience. OxygenOS is understandably superior to the FuntouchOS 14, and is also backed by an additional year of major OS updates. But, the FuntouchOS experience on the X Fold 3 Pro isn't bad per say and also brings some AI features to the table. The primary camera performance of the X Fold 3 Pro is also slightly better in most scenarios. Overall, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the best foldable I have used in recent years, eliminating most of the problems that this form factor brought in the past.

Vivo has finally launched their much anticipated X Fold 3 Pro premium foldable in the Indian market, priced at Rs 1,59,999 for the single 16GB/512GB variant.

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro First Impressions: New Foldable King?
View quick summary
The Vivo X Fold 3 is here, and I've got my hands on it! The sleek and lightweight design, super bright and vivid display, big battery as well as a commendable rear camera setup had me all sorts of impressed. However, if I'm to nitpick, the FuntouchOS is an obvious bummer. But, the OS is pretty neat and nicely optimized with the X Fold 3 Pro, leaving not much room for complaints. However, compared to the OneUI on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and OxygenOS on the OnePlus Open, it obviously does feel barebones and bland. Keeping that aside alongside a not well-tuned selfie shooter, this is the finest foldable we've seen in recent years.

Motorola Hello UI Review: Refreshing and Clean
View quick summary
I finally went hands on with Motorola's new Hello UI skin running on the Moto Edge 50 Pro. From seamless and fluid animations to the addition of apps like Moto Unplugged as well as Lockscreen animations, Moto has outdone themselves with Hello UI. However, the biggest problem lies with Motorola's still rather untimely software updates. If you keep that aside, this is one hell of an Android skin that easily tops my list.
This AI Sound Effect Generator Is a Cheat Code Every Creator Needs
View quick summary
Elevenlabs has officially released their AI sound effects generator and I decided to give it a try. I used the free version, which gives you a 10,000 quota per month to use. Every generation takes up 200 of the provided quotas. Meanwhile, paid plans start at $5 per month. The generator works best with non-complex prompts and the free version does not provide the best quality either. I realized that the best way to put it to some good use is by generating sound effects separately and putting them together with audio editing.

Parade of Planets on June 3: Where and How to Watch
View quick summary
Planetary parade or planetary alignment refers to the phenomenon of two or more planets lining up to be visible to the naked eye distinctly. The next one slated to occur on June 3, during predawn hours, in the eastern sky across the Northern Hemisphere. If you're in New York, you will get a much clearer view of it in between 5 AM to 5:26 AM PT. What makes this particular planetary parade special is that you get to see a whopping six planets line up - Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn. You will need to use high-powered binoculars or a telescope to view most of the planets. Mars and Saturn should be the most visible to the naked eye, alongside Neptune appearing like a star and Uranus appearing dim. However, this is not the only day you will get to see the phenomenon. Future dates for six-planet alignments include August 28, 2024 and January 18, 2025. You should particularly be on the lookout for the February 28, 2025 event where seven planets are set to line up!

I Switched to the New Nothing Ear for a Week and Here’s What I Think

I used the Nothing Ear as my daily earbuds, and there are a couple of things that I noticed. For starters, the ANC is solid, while the Transparency Mode could use some work. The sound quality is amazing though, especially after you tune it on the Nothing X app's Advanced EQ. The fit is exceptional and they never fall out of your ears. All things considered, these are definitely the best earbuds you can grab for Rs 11,999.

I have a problem with that, since it raises privacy concerns. Moreover, the bot is very limited right now, and you can only do 30 runs per day. Also, it recognizes only text-based prompts right now.
