Samsung Galaxy Buds Core Specifications, Features

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Core come with dynamic drivers and support ANC as well as call noise reduction features. Each earbud is equipped with a three-mic system. The earphones feature a wingtip design, which the company claims can offer a comfortable and secure fit even during strenuous movements. 

The Galaxy Core Buds support Galaxy AI’s Interpreter feature, enabling real-time, two-way face-to-face translation. When one person speaks in their native language, the earbuds are said to capture the speech and instantly deliver a translated version to the listener. The listener can then reply in their own language, with the system translating the response in real time—ensuring a seamless, uninterrupted conversation.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Core earphones also offer touch controls for music playback and other actions. They support multi-device connectivity and an Auto Switch feature. They are compatible with the Samsung Find app as well.

The UAE listing of the Galaxy Buds Core reveals that they offer Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. The earphones come with an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance. With the charging case, they are claimed to deliver up to 35 hours of battery life without ANC, and up to 20 hours with ANC enabled on a single charge.

iPhone 16 was launched in September 2024, and the price of the company’s latest smartphone has dropped under the Rs. 70,000 mark, without exchanging an older smartphone. Customers with eligible bank cards can avail of a Rs. 4,000 instant cashback, while exchanging an older smartphone can lower the price of the handset.

The iPhone 16 is currently available at Rs. 72,400 in India via authorised resellers, which is lower than its launch price of Rs. 79,900. However, customers who use an Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and Kotak Bank cards can avail of a Rs. 4,000 cashback offer, which brings the price of the handset down to Rs. 68,400.

If you have an older iPhone or Android smartphone to trade in, you can trade it in to lower the final cost of your purchase. The final purchase amount will depend on the smartphone you are trading in, and the condition it is in. The iPhone 16 is available in Black, Pink, Teal, Ultramarine, and White colour options.

Anthropic released a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature for Claude on Wednesday. This new feature will allow users to create interactive AI-powered applications using the chatbot. Once created, users can also host and share these apps on the platform to let others use them. Interestingly, when others use these apps, the maker will not have to bear the application programming interface (API) charges. Instead, this will be charged against the user’s subscription. This capability is an expansion of last year’s Artifact feature.

Claude Can Now Build And Host Apps

In a newsroom post, the AI firm detailed the new feature. Code generation is not new to the chatbot, and with the addition of Artifact in June 2024, a sandbox-style window within Claude where the AI and the user can collaborate over a coding project, the company has significantly expanded the platform’s coding capabilities.

Now, Anthropic is further expanding Artifact by allowing Claude to not only write the code but also execute it within the environment. As a result, users can now see what the final version of an AI-powered app would look like as well as interact with it. Additionally, once built, users can now host the applications on Anthropic’s servers and share them with other users. The AI integration in these apps is being powered by Claude’s API.

Interestingly, when another user tries out these apps, the maker will not have to pay for the API charges. Instead, it will be charged against the user’s subscription after they authenticate themselves with their Claude account. No one is required to manage the API keys.

Anthropic highlighted that this feature will allow users to use the Claude API within their artifacts. The feature will also let them process files and create unique user interfaces (UIs) via React. Additionally, users will be able to customise any artifact manually.

However, this new feature currently does not support external API calls, there is no option to add persistent or permanent storage (once the app is closed, the data will be erased), and it only supports text-based completions API, which reduces the scope of the apps developers can build. Notably, it is currently available in beta to all Claude users.

Lumio, a brand that’s barely months old, is all set to enter its second category, projectors. The company finally dropped the naming in a teaser on Thursday. Lumio Arc is what the projectors from the brand will be called, and since this is an Amazon Special device, we can expect the launch to coincide with upcoming Prime Day sales. 

“Lumio Arc – Feels like Magic”, the company’s tweet read, along with a teaser video that briefly shows the projector. In the short teaser, the projector appears to be portable and resembles a computer cabinet. We can expect more details soon.

Lumio’s Sudeep Sahu, in a tweet, said, “After Smart TVs, Lumio is entering into a category that seriously needs some intervention. Lumio is getting into Projectors.” He further added, “We have been at this for close to a year now. Trying to build something meaningful for everyone. For many, this will be their first projector at home.” 

The tweet adds the speculation that the Lumio Arc projector may start at an aggressive price. At this moment, we do not know anything else about the Lumio Arc projector.

Amazon recently announced the dates for its Prime Day Sale, which is a three-day sale bonanza this year. Considering Lumio is an Amazon Special product, we can expect the price to be revealed during the Prime Day sale. 

The projector category in India is largely untapped, with a few notable players including Epson, BenQ, LG, ViewSonic, Panasonic, and others. Lumio’s entry into this category is likely to spice up the category. The main pain points of the projector category in India have been portability, high pricing, dust and environmental factors. 

For those unaware, the Lumio Vision 7 series is available in 43, 50, and 55-inch sizes, while the Vision 9 comes in a single 55-inch model. The Smart TV range starts as low as Rs. 29,999.

The enhanced version of the game, which comes with added features, will also be released as a free update to players who own the game on PC or Xbox Series S/X. The updated version includes additions to graphics and gameplay, alongside an enhanced photo mode and developer commentary.

There’s additions to the gameplay, too, with Dark Rot from the first game returning. In this optional game mode, the Dark Rot grows each time players fail as Senua, eventually ending the main quest and resetting all progress, thus providing an additional challenge to players.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced also features an improved photo mode with more tools and over four hours of developer commentary that shed insight into the making of the game.

The game will launch on PS5, PC, Xbox Series S/X and Game Pass on August 12. It will be available in Standard and Deluxe editions on PlayStation Store, priced at $49.99 and $69.99, respectively (Rs. 4,399 and 4,499 in India). The Deluxe Edition includes the PS5 optimised version of the first game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, in addition to the enhanced version of Hellblade 2. The game is now available to pre-order on the PlayStation Store.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced was announced in May, joining a growing list of first-party Xbox games coming to PlayStation this year. The game was originally released on PC and Xbox Series S/X on May 21, 2024.
