Samsung adds Voice Phishing detection in the One UI 8 phone app
AI can be fun or helpful – but sometimes it can even be dangerous. Voice cloning has already been used to scam people who receive calls from – supposedly – a loved one in trouble. But AI can be used to defend against such scams too.
Samsung has added voice phishing detection to One UI 8. This only works in Korea for now and has been trained on data from the National Police Agency and the National Institute of Scientific Investigation. If your phone supports it, you will find it in the Phone app settings – look for a Voice Phishing Suspected Call Notification toggle. Enabling Voice phishing detection
The way this works is pretty simple. When talking to an unknown number, you will see a popup that says 'detecting' to notify you that the feature is listening in and scanning for AI voices.
If an AI voice is detected, the phone will vibrate and ping to warn you, even if you are no longer looking at the screen. It seems that there are two levels: 'suspected', which cautions you to verify the identity of the caller, and 'detected', which confirms that it's a phishing call. The call log will remember detected phishing calls. Voice phishing detection in action
Again, this is available in South Korea only for now, but hopefully Samsung will work with relevant agencies around the world to train its detection for other languages too.

Apple's brain drain woes unlikely to end anytime soon unless it starts making employees millionaires
There has been a massive problem plaguing Apple for a while now: its AI researchers keep getting scooped up by Meta. According to industry insider Mark Gurman's newsletter Power On, this brain drain from Apple is very unlikely to end anytime soon, unless the company pays its employees what Meta is CEO Mark Zuckerberg is convinced of two things: AR glasses are the future, and AI will be the backbone of said glasses. As such, Meta has invested billions of Dollars into XR ( Extended Reality ) over the last few years, and is now doing the same for Artificial Intelligence. It's Apple that is suffering, as now a fifth AI researcher has left the company to join Meta's Superintelligence Labs group. Naturally, this also puts the already underdeveloped Apple Intelligence at even greater risk. Zuckerberg has been offering mouthwatering amounts of money to AI researchers. According to Gurman, the low morale at Apple has meant that many have been grateful for the offer. Further departures from Apple aren't just likely, but almost expected at this everyone is willing to work for Meta, however. Recently, Meta offered a billion Dollars to one researcher, but they declined the offer. Their colleagues, who were offered up to $500 million each, all also turned Meta down. The workers cited problems with Meta's leadership for their Apple's continued failings with the new Siri have meant that the company's employees haven't been picky about who offers them a better deal. The revamped Siri marketed in 2024 is nowhere to be found. | Image credit — Apple Still, this hasn't stopped Apple from trying its best to ensure that a better version of Siri makes it to its user base sooner rather than later. The company has been quietly working on improvements for its App Intents framework, which means that certain Siri features are closer to launch than you might think. As for Mark Zuckerberg's aforementioned fascination with AI-powered AR smart glasses, Apple is also taking a keen interest in a pair of glasses of its own. Samsung and Google, with their Project Moohan running on Android XR, are also ultimately aiming for smart AR glasses to replace the smartphone.

Deals: Moto Razr 50 Ultra price slashed, whole Realme GT 7 series discounted
New models launch to a lot of fanfare, but then they gradually fade from the public consciousness. Let's have a look among the old and older phones to see if there are any good deals to be had. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is last year's model, but it's last year's flagship. Because of its age, it has a massive 45% discount at the moment. This means that it costs a lot less than you would pay for a Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, for example. However, this one packs a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, 6.9' LTPO inside and 4.0' LTPO outside displays, plus a 4,000mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. The phone is rated IPX8 (i.e. water resistant, but no protection against particles) and is slated for 3 OS updates. A few months ago, it received its first (Android 15). That means the phone will end up on v17 eventually and it will have an extra year of security patches after that. It has been a while since we've paid attention to the GT 7 series from Realme. The flagship Realme GT 7 Pro is now down to €700 and that's a pretty good price for a Snapdragon 8 Elite phone with a 6.78' LTPO display and a large 6,500mAh Si/C battery (120W wired charging). It has a 50MP main camera (1/1.56'), 50MP 3x/73mm telephoto (1/1.95') and 8MP ultra-wide. The phone launched with Android 15 and will receive 3 major OS updates, plus an extra year of security patches. Realme GT 7 Pro €300 off Read our review 12/256GB - €700 at Amazon DE The Realme GT 7 is €100 less. It switches to a less performant Dimensity 9400e chipset, but a lot of the hardware is the same or similar to the Pro. For example, it has the same IP69 rating and the 6.78' LTPO display is similar enough. It has a telephoto camera, but it's a 50MP unit with a shorter 2x lens and a smaller 1/2.76' sensor. On the plus side, the battery is bigger at 7,000mAh while still supporting 120W charging. Realme GT 7 €150 off Read our review 12/256GB - €600 at Amazon DE The Realme GT 7T is the cheapest of the trio. This one features a Dimensity 8400, which is not as powerful as the 9400e, but stays quite close considering the price difference. The 6.8' OLED display is not an LTPO panel and the telephoto camera is gone. But the 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging is still on board. The Poco X7 Pro is also powered by the Dimensity 8400 (Ultra vs. Max, but it's basically the same silicon). The 6.67' display is smaller and less bright (3,200 nits vs. 6,000 nits), but it's a 12-bit panel (both support Dolby Vision). The 6,000mAh battery is also smaller and supports 90W charging. Note that the upgrade from 8/256GB to 12/512GB is only €20, which makes it a no-brainer. And it means that this model is €250 cheaper than a 12/512GB GT 7T. The vivo V50e focuses on selfie photos and videos. It is equipped with a 50MP front-facing camera with an autofocus f/2.0 lens – its 1/2.76' sensor is capable of recording 4K video. The rear camera also has a 50MP sensor (1/1.95') and an 8MP ultra-wide module, plus a ring light. The V50e is powered by the Dimensity 7300, has a 6.7' 10-bit OLED display (120Hz) and a 5,600mAh battery with 90W charging. It's rated IP68/IP69 for resistance against submersion and water jets. vivo V50e €130 off 8/256GB - €340 at Amazon DE The Realme P3 is an affordable phone that runs very recent silicon – the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 was announced this February. This was the first 6-series chip to be fabbed on a 4nm TSMC node. Anyway, you can get plenty of RAM and storage for cheap – 12/512GB for €50 less than the X7 Pro – and there is a microSD slot for more. The P3 has 6.67' 1080p+ OLED display and a 6,000mAh battery with 45W charging. It's rated IP68/IP69. Realme P3 €100 off 8/256GB - €200 at Amazon DE 12/512GB - €250 at Amazon DE The Motorola Moto G35 looks classier than its €115 price tag would suggest. The 6.72' IPS LCD runs at 120Hz and has 1080p+ resolution – 720p+ displays aren't rare in this price class. The G35 has stereo speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack, plus it comes with a free pair of Moto Buds if you want to listen to music without wires. There's a free case included in the package too. The performance of the Unisoc T760 is entry-level, especially in a 4/128GB configuration (but note that there is a microSD slot). Still, the phone with the case and buds make for a good 'kid's first phone' combo.
