The foldable smartphone market is changing, and OPPO is emerging as a serious contender for Samsung. Although Samsung was the first one in the foldable phone market, OPPO’s innovative approach is rewriting the game. OPPO foldable smartphones provide better design, more durable hinges, a superior display with fewer creases, and faster charging technology. With a form factor friendly user interface and more advanced cameras than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold’s alternative, this is all about how they would redefine the foldable smartphone experience and then ultimately take the foldable space pioneer’s position taken by Samsung.

Harmony Chocolates’ Indian-Inspired Delights Earn an 8.5/10, Needing Only Packaging and Accessibility Enhancements
Harmony Chocolates is an India-inspired brand and unique flavors will be created there that will include Indians’ preferred tastes. Along with these newer, innovative Rabri, Pan, and Tang, besides class nutty flavors, and a deep, darker flavor, its overall presentation also represents the company in a required niche of such a market under heavy influence by the international powers. This gap is something it filled very convincingly as did not Feastables by MrBeast. While the flavor and sugar to flavor ratio is nearly perfect, improvements in packaging and retailing would make a big difference for it. Harmony Chocolates deserves 8.5 out of 10, and prospects are bright and promising.
Vivo V50 Upgrade Not Justified for V40 Owners
Launched as a model ready to launch in February 2025, the Vivo V50 can easily be said as the Vivo V40 successor but after comparing with all details; the advancements would not be really different. Because, here it’s equipped with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and camera also comes almost alike in configuration offering not-so-nearly good upgrades in each section. Whereas V50 offers slightly bigger batteries with slightly faster charging capabilities, upgrades aren’t too substantial to update current V40 owners. To make matters worse, V50 will probably sell for more, further diluting value. And, when minor design differences between Vivo V40 and Vivo V50, same software, same features, with almost negligible enhancements in both designs, one does not find adequate reasons to update to V50.
Virat Kohli Restaurant One8 Commune To Start in Jaipur After Indore
The food venture of Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli, One8 Commune, is now taking it to Jaipur. Success was already experienced in Indore. This food venture had earlier outlets in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, and Bengaluru. Diverse menus, which are mixed with the favorite dishes of the cricketer, are part of this venture along with the local flavors. The outlet here is going to be quite interesting as it would feature Rajasthani specialities along with international fare. The restaurant will be designed, thus inspired by Kohli’s travels and the rich cultural heritage of Jaipur, to be inviting. This expansion is going to be a step toward the vision of Kohli in the community dining experience and is likely to enhance Jaipur’s culinary scene, provide employment, and attract tourists.

Demand will be met to the Indian markets for affordable gaming solutions through the Victus range of laptops.
How Prime India Defeated Netflix with Local Stories Like Panchayat and Family Man
Amazon Prime Video has emerged as a major player in India’s streaming market and even outdid its competitors like Netflix by investing heavily in locally resonant content. Original series like “The Family Man,” “Panchayat,” “Mirzapur,” “Farzi,” and “Paatal Lok” are extremely popular, which has thus contributed to Prime Video’s expanding subscriber base. Regional preferences, collaboration with Indian creators of fame, and competitive models in price are strategic decisions that have cemented the standing of Amazon Prime Video in the Indian OTT scenario.
The Pi Coin Deception Earning Through Ads While Users Mine for Nothing Disguised as Crypto
Pi Network is an application with which the users can “mine” Pi Coins, again just by the tap of a button every day with no cost, no up front. Though this app has million users and this is the rapid growth it sees, many of the skeptical voices are being thrown around the platform. This model is said to be working based on a business model similar to a pyramid scheme, as it has an entire system that only depends on referral, and an actual working mainnet does not exist, hence the Pi Coins are useless and worthless. In-app commercials money is made when users are compelled to view adverts before they could continue mining. This will deceive the users, who waste their time without any benefit, and the advertisers, who take into account greater engagement metrics. All these factors lead to the assumption that the model of Pi Network is more biased toward revenue generation from ads rather than providing genuine cryptocurrency experience.
The Exodus of Investors from Whirlpool India Amid Sharp Decline in Stock Value
The recent move by Whirlpool Corporation to reduce its stake in Whirlpool India from 51% to around 20% by mid-to-late 2025 has led to a sharp decline in the latter’s share price. The latest move follows a 24% stake sale in February 2024, which has alarmed investors about the parent company’s interest in its Indian business. Apart from these, market competition, low-profit margins, and regulatory impediments are some of the other challenges. The financials also depict a dismal trend: net profit for the quarter ending September 2023 saw an erosion, and sales are projected to decline in 2025. The competitive intensity by players like Samsung, LG, and local players continues to be a challenge for Whirlpool India to innovate and maneuver its market share and profitability.
Why Earning Popcoin Through Pop UPI App is Virtually Useless
It rewards users with 2% back in Popcoins on every UPI transaction; these Popcoins can only be redeemed within the POP ecosystem to buy products from partnered D2C brands, which is an inherently closed loop and limits the utility of the Popcoins themselves. This leaves users often no choice but to buy products within the app, potentially at a higher price point, thus cancelling out any savings perceived. Unlike the more flexible traditional rewards systems that allow cash redemption, Popcoins offer neither real money nor convenience that saves consumers for a real bottom line.
Why GPUs Are Becoming as Precious as Gold and Diamonds due to AI Innovation
The development of AI technologies at this pace has never led to such an unprecedented demand for graphics processing units. They power both machine learning and deep learning applications, and their price has gone up to levels where selling gold and diamonds are not unheard of. While companies like NVIDIA are seeing their data center revenues surpass the revenues reaped from their old traditional gaming businesses, it seems clear that market behavior is shifting. Meta and Microsoft and other tech giants are buying such huge amounts of GPUs that the supply is insufficient and is causing the prices to shoot even further. Inelasticity of supply because of manufacturing constraint; the time of manufacture is quite a long period, and with a requirement for having some new fabrication plants as well. Therefore, it led to this kind of scarcity; some companies reused even gaming GPUs for using in AI, which affected even the gaming segment. Smaller organizations may find it extremely challenging because of the relatively higher cost of GPUs and very limited availability in the market, which can centralize AI among the wealthier organizations.
Know the Differences Between the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air
The iPhone 17 series will be released in September 2025. The two major variants of the series will be the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air would be the thinnest smartphone ever developed by Apple, with a highly slim design featuring ultra-thin dimensions achieved via lightweight aluminum material construction. Whereas the new iPhone 17 takes a step down with the design but it has more traditional looks but is accompanied with a 6.3-inch OLED screen that is relatively small in comparison to Air which offers 6.6 inches OLED ProMotion with 120Hz refresh rate. Camera configurations also vary, as the Air features a dual-camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor and the iPhone 17 has a single 48-megapixel camera. Both variants will be fueled by the A19 chip, so performance is excellent, but the iPhone 17 might have better battery life because it is bigger. Connectivity-wise, the iPhone 17 Air would feature an eSIM only and the standard one would retain its physical SIM slot. That may also come for a premium.
Facing DeepSeek Challenge ChatGPT Might Make All Premium Features Free
DeepSeek has been the new challenge that the AI domination of OpenAI and its favorite software, ChatGPT, faced. Always a market leader in the industry, whether for free or for paid subscription plans, the popularity of ChatGPT was growing with every passing day. In contrast, DeepSeek was giving away its model, Dark Seek-R1, free of charge. The open-access strategy led to high penetration, topping all charts within both U.S. and U.K. The pricing for DeepSeek’s API is low-cost, being a fraction of what OpenAI charges, thus attracting businesses and developers searching for cost-effective AI solutions. Benchmark tests suggest that DeepSeek-R1 performs at least on par with, or in some technical tasks, it surpasses ChatGPT, which only further erodes the market place for ChatGPT. So, OpenAI is forced to either change its pricing model or improve its offerings to retain the users. This would open the gates to mass adoption of AI, which gives cheaper and more accessible AI solutions, thus impacting a larger section of the audience, which is good for competition and innovation.
Xbox Forza Horizon 6 on the Horizon Amid PlayStation Horizon 5 Launch
One of the most eagerly awaited games in the Forza Horizon series is Forza Horizon 6, which has been waiting in anticipation of its release with graphic-based phenomenals and diversified cars on the large open-world map and speculations that range it as a “Japan-based setting.” This sequel would probably take everything good from Forza Horizon 5 and feature new stuff such as advanced weather systems, new car physics, and multiplayer. The Forza Horizon 6 trailer has already become something people have made speculations about, even in what to expect from this game. It also will come out on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, as another journey for Microsoft into an open approach of gaming, making the game more accessible to a wider market. New possibilities for customization and an enhanced convoy system make Forza Horizon 6 ready to refresh open-world racing for a new generation and to deliver one of the most impressive gaming experiences to date.
Microsoft Looks to Windows 12 to Regain User Trust Lost with Windows 11
Microsoft is expected to release Windows 12, the next-generation operating system, by the end of 2025. With all the feedback gathered from Windows 11, Windows 12 will bring much more improvements in deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve user experience and productivity. AI-driven features will help users with file organization, system optimization, and personalized suggestions. A major innovation to be represented will be the modular design of a “Core PC,” which tries to provide a more flexible, secure, and efficient system with faster update times and superior hardware scalability. Windows 12 will also build upon the new user interface offered by Windows 11, creating more customization choices, an optimized File Explorer, and an even better taskbar. These updates, on one hand, will address criticisms from Windows 11, for instance: the high system requirements and the mandatory Microsoft account setup, concentrated on more compatibility and more user-centric features of the product. Therefore, Windows 12 would better embrace various technological advancements that change user preferences, be it competitive demand or increased adoption.
Meta Plans to Launch Ray Ban Zen 2 Glasses Unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg
Meta has just entered the market of smart glasses with its technology partner Ray-Ban. Having presented the first version of smart glasses, called Ray-Ban Stories, back in 2021, this time around in 2023, the company can introduce to the public the upgraded version that will feature an improved camera, better audio, and connectivity to Meta’s AI assistant. These came to the market with tremendous commercial success, selling over 1 million units in 2024. The third version by Meta, probably called “Zen 2,” will probably have even more refined features, like an inbuilt display for notifications, enhanced AI processing, and increased battery life. Mark Zuckerberg’s dream of a time when smart glasses might eventually replace smartphones could come true in these glasses. With all the wearable tech market leader being Meta, and next-generation smart glasses poised to revolutionize our interactions in the digital space as well as with technology around us, concern about privacy will always be a relevant issue-the question is the importance of those issues in camera-related and data-security aspects.
Meet the Brain Behind the Jaipur Literature Festival William Dalrymple
He has, in his co-founding of the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF), altered the cultural face of India. The modest beginning JLF made in 2006 has today blossomed into the world’s largest free literary festival, drawing people from across the globe and featuring some of the world’s greatest authors. With a vision of a platform inclusive of literature, art, and culture, Dalrymple democratized the literary discourse by giving access to literature. Annual international lineups in Jaipur, curated by him, help form a global literary community. No controversy like the Salman Rushdie affair in 2012 deterred him from making JLF the beacon of cultural exchange and free speech. Besides the festival, his prize-winning writings on Indian history enrich the literature he founded and for which he was awarded the President’s Medal by the British Academy. Dalrymple’s work has not only beautified Jaipur as a place of literature but has also contributed to the flourishing of literary festivals all over South Asia, and such a forum will be etched in the pages of books and ideas forever.
Sony’s PS5 Could See a Massive Price Drop in India to Rs 30,000
The gaming market in India has been experiencing tremendous growth, and Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) has clearly been ahead of the curve. Since its launch, PS5 has always been in constant demand; however, supply constraints along with issues regarding its price have been a considerable limitation toward its wider acceptability. As of now, the standard disc version of PS5 costs almost Rs 54,990, whereas digital version is quoted to be around Rs 44,990. Now, reports indicate that Sony could scale down the deep price reduction of PS5 and cut it to Rs 10,000 to reach close to Rs 30,000 for market penetration in India, an extremely price-sensitive market. Yet, even with gaming mania soaring rapidly there, Sony is still not going to allow India business to run amok. Historically, Sony has introduced several offers of discounts like Rs 5,000 and Rs 13,000 at certain times during the sales to make the PS5 more affordable. This huge slash in the cost of the PS5 will, not only give access to many more people than it did when the product came out, but also increase growth in the market within the gaming sector, that affects gamers, retailers, and the overall dimension of the market.
iPhone SE 4 may Mark Apple’s Entry into the Foldable Phone Market
Apparently, Apple is developing the first foldable iPhone. Rumors on this indicate that the new phone will be out next year, around 2026. Perhaps its design will be like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip-it folds horizontally-but that’s all speculative. Nothing concrete is pointing it as an iPhone SE 4 foldable. Traditionally, the line of iPhone SE has been associated with affordability and compact design. The SE 4 is likely to follow the same trend in design as previous versions, which may include a 6.1-inch OLED, and will come with the Dynamic Island feature first introduced on the iPhone 14. Foldable technology with Apple does raise certain issues such as screen durability and cost at least to an extent when compared to its closest competitor: Samsung. This could be a completely different move because of the transition that would represent introducing a foldable device under a budget friendly line like SE.
Ubisoft’s Financial Woes Deepen with Tom Clancy and Assassin Creed’s Poor Performance
Now the house of one time video gaming behemoth and manufacturer of famous brands like Assassin’s Creed and Tom Clancy finds itself grappling with major financial headaches. Such games as Star Wars Outlaws were underwhelming for the corporation and significant major delays on products such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows brought about steep dives in the sell of and equity value of shares. This reduced the market capitalization of the company from around $12.17 billion during 2021 to nearly $1.6 billion as January 2025. Strategic reforms in live-service and multiplayer games haven’t managed to bring up the expected profitability, increasing more financial issues further. Accrued debt and massive lay-offs, and how the company now finds itself among the buyout list with some investors like Tencent, indicates to what extent the company is behind in terms of loss. The future of the company depends on innovative game development and efficient resource management to regain its standing in the competitive gaming industry.
New Research Links Apple Watch Bands to Cancer
Recently, the University of Notre Dame found that smartwatch bands from several companies contained high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as “forever chemicals.” These substances are associated with various health issues including cancer, birth defects, and infertility. According to the researchers, the fluoroelastomer bands in Sport Band, Nike Sport Band, and Ocean Band have alarming concentrations of PFAS. The health risk exposure through the skin is likely to happen when someone is physically active. In this regard, Apple is being sued while still saying their watch bands are safe and that they will eliminate the PFAS contents in all their products. This also raises concern over PFAS in consumer goods, and therefore, it calls for more research to understand the long-term implications of these chemicals.
Krutrim AI from OLA to Outshine ChatGPT with Multilingual and Multimodal Capabilities

It was recently launched, looking to not only understand but generate content in more than one Indian language, ultimately surpassing ChatGPT, the biggest large language models for Indian languages, with training data over 2 trillion tokens and proficiency in 20 Indian languages. Special features like voice interaction capability make it more accessible to different linguistic communities across the country. Krutrim Pro will enhance problem-solving and task execution capabilities as part of the future version and, thereby become more versatile as a tool for applications like coding assistance and educational content creation. Ola has released the model to public beta rollouts with open calls for feedback from the users in order to hone the model, indicating a commitment to perpetual improvement. Krutrim’s strategic advantages within the Indian market would be integration with Ola services and support for local businesses, making it a gateway to becoming a shining example of region-specific AI models going forward worldwide.
Chinese DeepSeek Worst in the AI Race Hindered by Inaccuracies, English Grammar Mistakes, and Privacy Worries
DeepSeek is an AI model developed in China and managed to compete with international leaders that include OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Its poor limitations hamper its integration into the world of international AI. Although DeepSeek is solid in processing the Chinese language, the AI generates too many grammatical errors when it uses the English language. Some cases have been seen whereby users were able to prove AI wrong; they even could not comprehend some given commands. This cannot help DeepSeek be used for professional or academic purposes. Besides, DeepSeek’s data management policies raise several privacy issues. It is built under Chinese data policies, which are not global standards like GDPR. All these issues collectively make DeepSeek incapable of becoming a viable alternative in the global AI market.

These companies come together and would promise to help change the landscape in India’s laptops market with pricing down, boosting innovations, and growing competition.
Why OnePlus 13 Trumps Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and iPhone 16 Plus
OnePlus 13 is indeed a battle in the high-end smartphone market because it was able to surpass Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and iPhone 16 Plus on many sides. Its highly hardened Ceramic Guard build and flat screen make it appealing for users who want it strong and simple. The OnePlus 13 boasts an uncompromising 6.82-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4500 nits peak brightness, always offering the best view.

Not forgetting the much-anticipated Hasselblad-co-branded triple-camera system and OxygenOS 15 customizability, with competitive pricing that made it one of the most desired gadgets among tech enthusiasts.
Colossal Biosciences Plan to Bring Back Dinosaurs Using Modern Science & Gene-Editing Advances
Colossal Biosciences has led the pack of de-extinction companies and just received a record-breaking $200 million in Series C funding from TWG Global for its high-profile projects. From initially reviving the woolly mammoth, dodo, and thylacine, they have shifted their gears to the most ambitious dream: bringing back dinosaurs into the world. Colossal will change the course of evolutionary history. With cutting-edge tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 and artificial womb technologies, not to mention synthetic biology tools, it appears to rewrite everything that had passed and was previously thought to remain so. There is a greater meaning behind species revival; Colossal can help researchers in the issues of human health, agriculture, and biodiversity preservation, aside from saving the dinosaurs, which are at present still strictly theoretical.

Why Nobody Liked Assassin Creed Mirage, Leading to Millions in Losses for Ubisoft
Assassin’s Creed Mirage was intended to be a nostalgic effort at bringing the franchise back to its stealthy roots with a smaller game world and more straightforward mechanics as opposed to the recent RPG-focused titles of the series. Fans appreciated the nostalgic approach, but most condemned the outdated gameplay, lack of innovation, and unengaging storyline. Stealth mechanics were shallow, combat and parkour were not as smooth, and the overall narrative failed to captivate its audience or expand the massive Assassin’s Creed lore. Although the historical setting of Baghdad was praised, the world lacked interactivity and meaningful content. Although it had decent initial sales, fan disappointment over the game’s short length and price hurt the long-term reception.
Google’s Gemini Leaves ChatGPT Behind due to Better Ease of Use & User Interface
Google’s Gemini has finally taken the top spot in the AI game. This is a notch above its other counterpart, OpenAI, known as ChatGPT. It has higher leads for user-friendliness and limitless access without command limits and on a much larger dataset making it very much more powerful, intuitive, and friendlier to the user than the other counterpart. The sleek, interactive user interface functions so much better than that of ChatGPT’s rather simple and bland design. It will help Gemini to redefine the term of accessibility and convenience in AI technology and more attract users to such innovative features with a smoother experience.
