Tech Wrap July 24: iQOO Z10R, Qi2 25W standard, Google Photos AI features
iQOO Z10R launched. Qi2 25W charging standard. Google Photos AI feature. VSCO Capture app. YouTube Shorts Veo2 features. itel Super Guru 4G Max launched. AppleCare One plan announced. BS Tech New Delhi Chinese brand iQOO has added to its Z10 lineup in India by launching the iQOO Z10R. With this addition, the Z10 series now includes the iQOO Z10, Z10x, Z10 Lite, and Z10R. The latest model features a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage. It also offers a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has introduced Qi version 2.2.1, known as Qi2 25W, a next-gen wireless charging standard that supports speeds up to 25W. This is a step up from the earlier 15W cap of Qi2, bringing it closer to the performance of Apple's MagSafe system. Google is updating its Photos app with generative AI features that allow users to transform static images into video clips and stylised artwork. These updates are powered by Google's Veo 2 model, which also drives similar features in the Gemini app. VSCO has released an iPhone camera app named Capture, which brings its popular filters into the image-taking process. Unlike conventional apps that apply filters after capturing, Capture lets users preview and apply them in real time before clicking a photo or video. The app is available free on the App Store. Google is expanding image-to-video functionality to YouTube Shorts, enabling users to turn photos into video content. The new update also introduces a set of immersive AI effects and a creative space called AI Playground. According to YouTube, these tools are powered by Google's Veo 2 model. itel has launched the Super Guru 4G Max, a feature phone equipped with an AI assistant. Marketed as India's first AI-enabled feature phone, it supports voice commands for tasks such as reading messages and making calls. Apple has rolled out AppleCare One, a subscription plan costing $19.99/month that covers up to three Apple devices under a single policy. Unlike AppleCare+, which requires separate subscriptions, AppleCare One simplifies device protection. It is currently US-only, but may expand internationally. WhatsApp is testing a feature in its Android beta (v2.25.21.14) that enables users to schedule reminders for individual messages. As per WABetaInfo, this builds on an earlier feature that highlighted unread messages from frequently contacted users. The new update allows users to manually tag important messages and set alerts for them. According to Android Authority, Google may have unintentionally revealed the Pixel 10 series via a banner on the Play Store. The banner, which was later removed, displayed the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold models. Meta is rolling out new safety updates for teenagers and adult-managed child accounts on platforms like Instagram. These include enhanced context in direct messages for teen users, with some protections now extending to child accounts managed by adults. Google is expanding Gemini AI's reach to more smartwatches running Wear OS 4, says 9To5Google. Devices from brands like Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, OPPO, and Xiaomi will soon support Gemini, replacing Google Assistant and bringing enhanced AI capabilities. Apple and Google operate their own cloud ecosystems for storing photos and videos – iCloud Photos for Apple devices and Google Photos for Android users. While both platforms offer automatic backup and smart organisation features, the data stored on these cloud platforms cannot be synced directly. This creates a gap for users looking to switch platforms or consolidate their media into one service. Google's push into AI-powered search is reshaping the internet—and not in the way publishers or web creators might have hoped. A new study by the Pew Research Centre, which examined the online behaviour of 900 US adults, reveals that Google's AI Overviews, the automatically generated summaries now appearing in many search results, are drastically reducing the number of users who click through to traditional websites. India's edge data centre capacity is expected to expand significantly to 200-210 Megawatt (MW) by 2027, up from 60-70 MW in 2024, marking a 3x increase, driven by the proliferation of emerging technologies, said rating agency Icra.
