Realme Neo 7 Turbo launch date announced, confirmed to pack Dimensity 9400e chip
Realme has confirmed the launch of its next-gen mainstream smartphone — the Realme Neo 7 Turbo. The Neo 7 Turbo is ready to hit the market on May 29 in China. There is no news on the global release, including the India launch. Ahead of the launch, Realme has also revealed the design and a few hardware details around the phone. Apart from the launch details, it is confirmed that the phone will be launched in two colour variants: grey and black. Let's check out more details around the Realme Neo 7 Turbo.advertisementRealme Neo 7 Turbo launch confirmedRealme is gearing up to unveil the fourth device in its Neo7 lineup — the Neo7 Turbo — with a launch event scheduled for May 29 at 2 PM local time in China (11.30 PM IST). This latest addition follows the release of the Neo7, Neo7 SE, and Neo7x earlier in the year, and it promises some bold upgrades under the hood and on the surface.At the heart of the Neo7 Turbo is MediaTek's brand-new Dimensity 9400e chipset, making it one of the first smartphones to feature this flagship processor. Built on TSMC's advanced 4nm process, the chip boasts a peak clock speed of 3.4GHz, positioning it as a high-performance option for power users and mobile gamers alike.

Design-wise, Realme is taking a page out of Nothing's playbook. The Neo7 Turbo will debut in Transparent Black and Transparent Grey, both showcasing a semi-transparent rear panel. Promotional images reveal a design that mimics internal smartphone components — including visual representations of the NFC coil, SIM tray, and battery. A distinct green accent near the camera module reads 'Dart,' a nod to Realme's fast-charging technology. Hence, it is perhaps safe to say that Realme is inspired by Nothing's smartphones that have a similar rear panel design.
The rear camera setup features two visible lenses and a flash, with the main sensor confirmed to be 50-megapixels. On the display front, rumours suggest a 1.5K resolution panel, likely paired with a massive 7,000mAh battery and 100W fast charging support.
Additional leaks point to memory configurations of up to 16GB RAM and 1TB internal storage.Realme has already opened pre-reservations on its Chinese website, offering customers early-bird benefits worth CNY 1,775 (around Rs 21,000), including interest-free EMI options, extended warranty, and trade-in discounts.

How to find free Wi-Fi anywhere and connect safely: Things to keep in mind
Travel often means leaving your home internet behind. Whether you are on a weekend trip or visiting friends, staying connected matters. Finding free Wi-Fi on the go can keep you linked to work, family, or entertainment without using that costly mobile data. Here's how, with some simple steps and caution, you can locate and use free Wi-Fi safely at many locations. Start by knowing where to look. Many public places offer Wi-Fi access, but not all connections are safe. A hotspot is a device or location that provides wireless internet. There are two types: mobile hotspots and public hotspots. Also read: Realme Neo 7 Turbo key features tipped online ahead of May 29 launch: Here's what to expect Mobile hotspots use your smartphone to share the internet with other devices like laptops or tablets. Many phone plans support this feature, which lets you create a private hotspot. Public hotspots are common in places like cafes, airports, malls, libraries, and hotels. These networks aim to provide free internet to customers and visitors. You can find free Wi-Fi in many locations, including parks, museums, gyms, buses, and trains. Sometimes, your internet provider also offers access to their own hotspots. While you usually cannot connect to a hotspot at home unless you create one with your phone or connect to an open network nearby, public locations are your best bet for free internet. Also read: How to quietly limit someone on Instagram without blocking, unfollowing, or causing drama Before searching, consider using apps designed to locate Wi-Fi hotspots near you. Apps like Instabridge, WiFi Map, WiFi Around, Wiman, and WeFi provide lists or maps of available networks, often with useful details like login requirements and user feedback. These apps help you find reliable connections quickly and efficiently. However, before heading out, call places like libraries or campuses to confirm Wi-Fi availability if you don't use an app. To connect to free Wi-Fi, first check that your device supports Wi-Fi and turn it on. Once at the location, open your device's Wi-Fi settings and select the network you want to join. Many public networks require you to open a browser and agree to terms or enter an email before you get online. Although some networks require a password, which you can ask for at the venue.

Avoid accessing sensitive accounts, such as banks or making online purchases over unsecured networks. Never leave your device unattended in public spaces. Even secure Wi-Fi networks can carry risks, so be cautious about sharing personal information. Public Wi-Fi does not require strong authentication, which makes it vulnerable to hackers. They can intercept data, steal passwords, or even install harmful software on your device. Use caution and consider using a virtual private network (VPN) for extra protection.

Nothing Phone (3) to launch soon in India, here is what we know about it so far
Nothing has confirmed that its "true flagship" phone, the Nothing Phone (3), is all set to launch in July. While the company has not revealed the exact date, it has been shedding light on the upcoming phone. For instance, the Nothing Phone (3) is ditching the Glyph interface and will follow the CMF Phone 2 Pro back panel. In this article, we will unveil all the details that Nothing has confirmed so far and will also shed light on the rumours and leaks around the phone. advertisementNothing Phone (3): Design Nothing has officially given up on the glyph interface, which was once a key highlight on its phones. Unlike the Nothing Phone (2) or Phone (3a), the upcoming flagship will follow a design language similar to its mid-budget phone, CMF Phone 2 Pro (review). In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing shared a glimpse of the back panel. The shared image features a wheel on the edge. While it appears to be a little different from the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the inspiration could be the same. Another similarity between the Phone (3) and the CMF Phone 2 Pro is "all in the details." If you look at the image closely, you can notice two different tones of the colour. This means that the upcoming flagship might also feature a dual-colour back panel. advertisementNothing also revealed that the Phone (3) would be the first flagship to ditch the glyph interface, a feature known to be Nothing's trademark. Now, if the company is doing away with such a feature, it is certain that the upcoming phone will bring another wave. While nothing is certain, the company may be cooking up a brand-new visual language for the Phone (3), and it might involve dot-matrix displays. Nothing Phone (3): Specs and featuresWith its official unveiling set for July, the Nothing Phone (3) remains something of a mystery — but not without a fair share of juicy leaks and subtle hints. While much is still under wraps, co-founder Carl Pei has offered a few tantalising confirmations. The upcoming handset, he says, will bring 'high-end materials,' 'a major jump in performance,' and 'software improvements aimed at delivering a better overall experience.'Rumour-watchers and spec-sheet sleuths, however, have begun painting a clearer picture. At the heart of the Phone (3), it's widely speculated we'll find Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It's a curious, if bold, choice for a device vying for flagship status in 2025, especially given that the Phone (2) debuted two years ago. Still, if Nothing keeps the price within reach, it might just strike the right balance between power and the Phone (3) is tipped to feature a sizeable 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, pushing a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a dazzling 3,000 nits of peak brightness. The camera setup is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel triple array on the back and a 32-megapixel selfie snapper up front. As for battery life, expect a 5,000mAh cell, with 50W fast wired charging and 20W wireless charging in Phone (3): Price hike confirmed Pei has hinted that the Nothing Phone (3) will be priced around 800 (roughly Rs 92,000) sparking plenty of chatter ahead of its official launch. While the UK price sets expectations high, the Indian market may see a more tailored tag. Analysts suggest a likely range of Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000, a steep climb from the Phone (2)'s Rs 44,999–Rs 54,999 launch price. 'It won't be cheap,' say insiders, though pricing could reflect India's purchasing power. Still, fans hoping for a budget-friendly flagship might need to brace themselves. Official pricing is just around the corner, and expectations are mixed.

CMF Buds 2 Plus Review: Budget ANC buds that punch above their weight
If you're on the hunt for a pair of true wireless earbuds that won't drain your wallet but still offer solid performance, the CMF Buds 2 Plus might just be what you're looking for. Positioned as an affordable upgrade over the original Buds 2, these earbuds come from CMF by Nothing, a sub-brand known for delivering high-quality design and features at a fraction of flagship prices. But do they live up to the hype? After spending almost a month testing the Buds 2 Plus across daily commutes, gym sessions, and long calls, here's our in-depth review of what works, what doesn't, and whether these buds deserve a spot in your pocket. Right out of the box, the CMF Buds 2 Plus carry that minimalistic, slightly industrial design language we've come to associate with Nothing. The case is compact and lightweight, with a smooth matte finish that resists fingerprints well. It's available in multiple colours, light grey and blue, offering a bit of personality without going over the top. The buds themselves are stem-style, reminiscent of the Apple AirPods, but with a squared-off design that feels more modern. They sit snugly in the ear and are surprisingly comfortable even over longer periods. The IP54 rating adds peace of mind, making them a reliable companion during workouts or a rainy commute. Here's where things get interesting. For their modest price, the CMF Buds 2 Plus pack in a compelling list of features: -Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) up to 45dB -Bluetooth 5.3 with Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair -Customisable touch controls via the Nothing X app -Dual-device pairing -13.4mm dynamic drivers These aren't just nice-to-haves, they're features we usually associate with earbuds twice the price. Pairing is effortless thanks to Fast Pair support, and once connected, the Buds 2 Plus maintain a strong, stable connection. Multipoint connectivity also worked seamlessly in our tests, allowing us to switch from a laptop to phone without any fuss. Let's talk about audio. The 13.4mm drivers deliver a pleasingly full-bodied sound with an emphasis on bass. If you're a fan of thumping low-end, ideal for gym playlists or EDM, you'll be pleased. That said, the mids and highs hold their own, producing a fairly balanced output with crisp vocals and clear instrumentation. The Nothing X app allows for EQ adjustments and even offers a hearing test to personalise your audio profile. It's a nice touch that makes a genuine difference if you're picky about your sound signature. One small caveat: at higher volumes, the audio can get a bit sharp. While not a deal-breaker, it's something to keep in mind if you prefer cranking your music all the way up. Active Noise Cancellation on the Buds 2 Plus is better than expected for the price point. While it doesn't reach the effectiveness of premium ANC earbuds like Sony's WF-1000XM5 or the AirPods Pro, it certainly cuts down on ambient noise, especially low-end hums like engine rumbles or air conditioning. Transparency mode is decent too. It's not the most natural sounding, but it does the job when you need to stay aware of your surroundings. There's also adaptive ANC which adjusts noise cancellation based on your environment. It's subtle, but works well enough to justify its inclusion. The CMF Buds 2 Plus feature AI noise reduction during calls, and in practice, they're among the best in this price range. Voices come through clearly on both ends, and background noise is significantly suppressed, even in busy settings. For regular voice or video calls, these won't let you down. Battery life is one of the CMF Buds 2 Plus's strongest suits. You get around 8 hours of playback on a single charge, and the case offers up to 43 hours in total. With ANC on, expect about 6 hours per charge, which is still respectable. Charging is via USB-C (no wireless charging, understandably at this price), and a quick 10-minute top-up gives you a couple of hours of playtime, perfect for when you're in a rush. The Nothing X app, available on both Android and iOS, is cleanly designed and easy to navigate. From here, you can customise touch gestures, adjust the EQ, toggle ANC modes, and even perform a fit test to ensure the buds are sealed correctly in your ears. It's refreshing to see such thoughtful software support in budget earbuds. For a pair of earbuds that cost under ₹3300, the CMF Buds 2 Plus are an outstanding deal. They bring together quality sound, decent ANC, reliable connectivity, and long battery life, all wrapped in a stylish design with the backing of a reputable brand. Are they perfect? No. Audiophiles may crave more nuance in the mids and treble, and wireless charging is missing. But for the vast majority of users, these are incredibly easy to recommend. If you're after budget wireless earbuds with premium features, the CMF Buds 2 Plus are likely the best bang-for-your-buck option right now.
