Tech Wrap Aug 15: WhatsApp, Samsung's Micro RGB display, iPhone 17 series
WhatsApp tests Meta AI-powered writing assistant. Samsung brings Micro RGB display tech. Apple iPhone 17 series launch. Google NotebookLM guide. Made by Google 2025 BS Tech New Delhi WhatsApp tests Meta AI-powered writing assistant WhatsApp is trialling an AI-powered Writing Help Assistant that lets users refine messages privately and securely before sending them. Available to select Android users through the 2.25.23.7 beta, the tool aims to enhance tone, grammar, and structure while keeping chats encrypted and anonymous. Samsung has introduced Micro RGB, its first display to use a micro-scale RGB LED backlight behind a massive 115-inch screen. This new backlighting system for large TVs positions micrometre-sized red, green, and blue LEDs behind the display panel, enabling finer control over both colour and contrast. It incorporates frame-by-frame AI image processing, glare-reducing hardware, and supports the full BT.2020 colour gamut, aiming to deliver precise and consistent visual quality for premium displays. Apple is preparing to unveil its iPhone 17 lineup, expected in the first half of next month. The company typically hosts its annual iPhone launch in early September, and reports indicate this year's event may take place on September 12. The 2025 series is likely to feature four models — the standard iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a new ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to replace the Plus model. Google's NotebookLM is more than just a tool that can turn documents into a podcast. It's an AI-driven notebook that works alongside your sources, offering summaries, answering questions with citations, and transforming content into briefings, study guides, timelines, and audio formats. Since all actions are based solely on the files you provide, the results remain grounded and verifiable. This guide explores how it can make studying and research more interactive, engaging, and efficient. Google will hold its annual Made by Google event on August 20, where it is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series smartphones. Alongside the phones, the company may introduce the Pixel Watch 4 smartwatch and Pixel Buds 2a earbuds. New Gemini-based AI features could also debut across these devices. Apple has already introduced several flagship products in 2025, including the iPhone 16e, the M4-powered MacBook Air, an updated Mac Studio, and refreshed iPads. However, the company's release schedule for the year isn't complete. In the months ahead, Apple is expected to reveal the iPhone 17 lineup, Macs and iPads equipped with the M5 chip, and a new wave of wearables such as updated Apple Watches and AirPods. Reports also point to the possibility of a budget-friendly MacBook launching before year-end. Samsung could overshadow Apple's big reveal with its own major product launch, possibly around the same time as the expected iPhone 17 debut. In its recent earnings call, Samsung confirmed it is 'preparing to introduce next-generation innovative products, including our XR headset and tri-fold smartphone this year.' Industry watchers predict a late September or October release, which would closely follow Apple's anticipated early September event. Meta's 'Imagine Me' feature has been around for some time, enabling users to generate AI-made doppelgangers in different scenes, outfits, or art styles. Integrated within the Meta AI chatbot, it uses a handful of approved profile images to create personalised pictures from a simple text request. Users have been experimenting with the feature and sharing their creations on social media. Many WhatsApp users send photos and videos daily without realising the app compresses them, lowering sharpness and detail. Hidden in the app is a setting to send media in high-definition (HD), helping retain image clarity and improving video resolution. Knowing where to find and enable this option can help preserve better quality before hitting send. The CMF Buds 2 deliver strong performance in style, comfort, connectivity, and battery life, making them a solid choice for those on a budget. However, buyers seeking powerful noise cancellation or a highly effective transparency mode might need to look elsewhere. For everyday listening, they offer a well-rounded mix of design and sound at an appealing price point. The Xiaomi Smart QLED TV G32 stands out as one of the most balanced 32-inch smart TVs in its price range. It offers premium touches such as a QLED panel, Dolby Audio and DTS:X support, and the convenience of both Google TV and PatchWall. Although its audio output is fairly standard and the hardware isn't built for high-end performance, it handles everyday streaming and navigation smoothly. Combined with a display that delivers exceptional colour and contrast for its class, it becomes a strong choice for bedrooms or compact living areas. This week brought a variety of product launches in the consumer tech space. Lava, OPPO, Vivo, and POCO released new smartphones, while Lenovo launched two Android tablets. Sony added to its audio offerings with the ULT series party speakers and new portable Bluetooth models. Sennheiser also joined the mix with its Accentum Open open-ear wireless earbuds, built for comfort and immersive listening. Here's the complete rundown of the week's highlights: The CMF Buds 2 Plus offer crisp audio, effective ANC, and impressive battery performance, with modest but worthwhile improvements over the Buds 2. For ₹600 more, users get better fit, longer usage time, and custom tuning options, making them a more appealing choice for comfort and extended listening sessions. A senior lawyer in Australia has apologised to a judge after submitting documents in a murder trial that included fabricated quotes and non-existent case rulings generated by artificial intelligence. The incident in Victoria's Supreme Court adds to a growing list of AI-related mishaps within judicial systems worldwide.

Samsung brings Micro RGB display tech: What is it, what makes it different
Samsung has unveiled Micro RGB, the first display to feature a micro-scale RGB LED backlight behind a large 115-inch screen. Micro RGB is a new backlighting system for large TVs that uses micrometre-scale red, green, and blue LEDs arranged behind a display panel. It is designed to provide more granular control over colour and contrast. The system includes frame-by-frame AI processing, glare-reducing hardware, and full BT.2020 colour gamut coverage, aiming for accurate and consistent visual performance in high-end displays. What is Micro RGB Micro RGB is a backlight system made of individually controlled red, green, and blue LED microdots, each less than 100 micrometres in size, positioned behind the screen. Unlike traditional white LED backlights, this setup enables fine control over each colour channel, allowing for more accurate reproduction of shades and contrast on the screen. How it works Micro RGB displays are built using microscopic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), each capable of producing pure red, green, or blue light directly without requiring a colour filter. This allows light to be emitted from the source itself, helping with precise colour reproduction. Samsung positions these micro-LEDs very close together to allow for higher resolution and improved viewing angles. The display can reproduce the full BT.2020 colour space, a standard for a wider range of colours than conventional TVs can show. In practical terms, this enables richer and more accurate shades of red, green, and blue. Because each micro-LED can be controlled independently, the system can produce high contrast by dimming or turning off individual LEDs as needed. This enables darker blacks and more defined contrast, while maintaining brightness and durability advantages typical of micro-LED technology. How is it different from other display technology Backlight technology: Traditional LCDs use a white (or sometimes blue) backlight with colour filters, limiting colour accuracy and contrast. Mini-LED uses smaller LEDs for improved local dimming but still relies on white backlights and filters. Micro RGB employs individually controlled red, green, and blue micro-LEDs, allowing more precise adjustments for colour and contrast. Colour accuracy and control: Micro RGB's individually controlled micro-LEDs can reproduce the full BT.2020 colour gamut. LCD, OLED, and Mini-LED displays may offer accurate colours, but Micro RGB provides frame-by-frame control of each RGB LED for more granular adjustments. AI-powered optimisation: Samsung's Micro RGB integrates an AI engine that analyses each frame to optimise colour output. Micro RGB Colour Booster Pro identifies scenes with muted colours and adjusts them for better visual consistency. Other display technologies like LCD, OLED, and Mini-LED generally lack this type of AI-driven frame-by-frame colour processing. Glare reduction: Micro RGB includes Samsung's glare-reducing coating to improve visibility in bright environments. LCD, OLED, and Mini-LED panels may include anti-reflective layers, but Samsung's implementation is specific to this display.

Elon Musk picks future AI leader amid feud with OpenAI and Apple, cites rival tech giant's ‘data advantage'
Elon Musk admitted that Google currently leads in Artificial Intelligence. He cited Google's advantage in computing power and data resources. Musk's xAI is building a supercluster to catch up. Google is investing heavily in AI infrastructure. Musk is also feuding with Apple and OpenAI. He accused Apple of favoring ChatGPT. Musk left OpenAI in 2018 and became a critic. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Google's billion-dollar AI bet Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Musk's race to catch up Feud with Apple and OpenAI still brewing The battle for dominance in artificial intelligence is heating up, and Elon Musk has just made a surprising admission. Despite pouring massive resources into his AI venture xAI , the billionaire believes another Silicon Valley giant has the upper hand — at least for a post on X, Musk said Google, through its DeepMind division, currently enjoys the 'biggest compute and data advantage' outside of real-world AI applications. This, he argued, gives the search engine titan the 'highest probability' of leading the AI field in the immediate future.'Outside of real-world AI, Google has the biggest compute (and data) advantage for now, so currently has the highest probability of being the leader,' Musk wrote. 'That may change in a few years.'Musk's comments come as Google invests heavily to strengthen its AI dominance . The company is pouring an estimated $75 billion this year into expanding data centers and computational infrastructure, while its DeepMind team — widely considered one of the world's most advanced in AI research — continues to refine large language AI arm is also building on over a decade of research experience, with its Gemini chatbot and other tools positioned to challenge rivals like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Musk's own his part, Musk is betting on rapid scaling. xAI is building 'Colossus,' a massive supercluster in Memphis, and plans to deploy hundreds of thousands of GPUs to close the gap with tech's biggest players. He is also leveraging the broader Musk ecosystem — Tesla's AI research, SpaceX's satellite infrastructure, and social platform X — to accelerate model training and product xAI's flagship chatbot, and Aurora, its image generator, have both received frequent updates and are climbing app store rankings. Yet Musk acknowledges that Google's vast datasets and computational muscle give it a present-day recognition of Google's position comes against the backdrop of his escalating disputes with Apple and Musk had threatened 'immediate legal action' against Apple, accusing its App Store of favoring ChatGPT over other AI apps, including Grok. He claimed Apple's editorial choices made it 'impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store.'This criticism followed Apple's partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into its 'Apple Intelligence' platform, powering Siri on iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left in 2018, has since become one of its harshest critics, accusing it of abandoning its nonprofit mission.
