Just recently, Nokia launched its latest X, G, C smartphone lineup. Some smartphones in this new lineup — Nokia G10, C20, and C10 — are now available in the Philippines, launching with a wallet-friendly price and a respectable specs to boot.

Three days worth of battery life with Nokia G10

Longevity is the name of the game with the Nokia G10. It features a 5,050mAh battery for up to three days on a single charge. The almost-same figure of three years of security updates applies to Nokia’s affordable powerhouse too. Plus, users are guaranteed two years of software updates so they can keep their phones for longer.

As for the rest of the specs, it comes with a decent triple-camera setup in a 13MP + depth + macro lens arrangement. It has an 8MP camera at the front for clear selfies. It’s also worth mentioning the large 6.5-inch HD display, which gives more room for content and images. Finally, the MediaTek G25 processor keeps it running through the paces.

Affordable yet built-to last with Nokia C20 and C10

Then, there’s the two entry-level additions: the Nokia C20 and C10. Both of them are virtually identical save for a few differentiators in the spec sheet. Both also features a big 6.5-inch HD+ display for a much immersive viewing experience. There’s also a unique LED flash upfront in both devices to help the 5MP selfie camera in low light. Finally, they also have a day’s worth of battery life, Android 11 Go edition out of the box, and a textured finish for easy grip.

The only differences on their spec sheets? The C20 has a different processor than the C10, but both of these processors are made by Unisoc.

Apple reportedly gives up on the Vision Pro

But Apple will continue to sell the current model.

When they unveiled the Vision Pro in 2023, Apple touted the wearable as the next big thing after the iPhone. Now, almost three years removed from the launch, the Vision Pro hasn’t really taken over the coveted spot occupied by the iPhone. Apple, according to a report, is allegedly canning the short-lived wearable.

According to MacRumors, Apple has reportedly given up on making the Vision Pro a thing. The team handling the wearable has supposedly been subsumed by other teams within Apple.

If true, the wearable’s end is unfortunate but not surprising. Despite being out for years, the Vision Pro has sold only a little more than half a million units with numerous returns from customers. Most recently, Apple updated the wearable with the M5 chip, but the move hasn’t revitalized the device’s status in Apple’s lineup.

Most of the complaints about the device stem from its exorbitant price or its cumbersome battery pack. Besides costing a whopping US$ 3,499, the Vision Pro is also difficult to move around with, especially because of its total weight and a battery pack that can get in the way.

To be clear, Apple has not officially discontinued the Vision Pro yet. The company continues to sell the version with the M5 chip. Apple can also restart development in the future.

However, the meantime retirement on future development does coincide with the recent restructuring inside the company. Tim Cook recently decided to step down as CEO with John Ternus as his replacement. Canning the Vision Pro might be Ternus’ first step in redefining Apple according to his plans.

YouTube makes picture-in-picture mode free for everyone globally

The update is rolling out globally now.

Picture-in-picture (or PiP) mode is a godsend for multitaskers. The feature lets users watch videos in a tiny floating window while doing other tasks. However, the feature isn’t readily available for all users. Or wasn’t, at least. YouTube is now rolling out PiP mode for free globally.

Previously, PiP mode was exclusive to YouTube users who pay for Premium or Premium Lite. It was also exclusive to the United States.

Now, YouTube is making the feature completely free for users all over the globe. It will be available for both iOS and Android versions of the app.

There’s still a catch, though. The free version is available only for “longform, non-music content.” The same goes for Premium Lite subscribers. Music is still an exclusive feature for those who pay for the regular version of Premium. Basically, there is no change for paying users or users in the United States.

Using PiP mode is simple. All you need to do is load up a video you want to watch in the background. Then, just exit the YouTube app and go about your other tasks. The video will be inside a floating, resizable window while you look at other things.

There’s no timeline on when the update will reach your device. However, YouTube has promised that it will roll out globally within the coming months.

OnePlus has reportedly merged with realme

Both brands were previously rumored for restructuring early this year.

OnePlus has a problem. For a while now, rumors have swirled about the company’s dissolution. For their part, the company has continued to deny the reports, citing business as usual. Likely to their dismay, the reports just keep coming. Today, sources have hinted that OnePlus has merged with realme.

Back in January, it was rumored that OnePlus would be closing up shop this year. Since the company very quickly denied the rumors, the report hardly made waves. However, a suspected merger with realme is more difficult to debunk.

For one, realme is itself in a very interesting position. Also back in January, realme was reportedly moving back into being a sub-brand of OPPO. Coupled together with the OnePlus debacle, all this internal restructuring seems par for the course.

According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, OnePlus and realme have already concluded the merger. The two brands have reportedly united their Chinese and international operations under one roof. Likewise, their marketing will be the same. Pete Lau will still be the main head for this new division.

As with anything of this nature, take this with a grain of salt. OPPO, OnePlus, and realme have not issued any official statements concerning a merger or a shutdown for any brand.
