Sony launched new and smaller PlayStation 5 models
Sony has introduced PlayStation 5 2023 model along with the Digital Edition
It comes in "smaller" form factor along with an "detachable" Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive.
1TB SSD storage model is also there
Sony says that the new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% (Digital Edition) compared to the PlayStation 5 2020 models
If you purchase the PS5 Digital Edition, you can also add the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 later, since Sony will now sell it separately.
A horizontal stand is included the new PS5 model and a vertical stand has also been introduced that will be sold separately
Pricing:
PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive: 500$
Ultra HD Blu-ray disc separately: 80$
PS5 Digital Edition: 450$

Sony and Oppo partnering on new dual-layer stacked LYTIA image sensor
Sony Semiconductor-LYTIA and OPPO have announced a new strategic partnership that will integrate Lytia's dual-layer stacked Sony sensors into Oppo’s Ultra Light Image Engine for future Oppo flagships
In stacked dual-layer design, the transistors & photodiode layers are separated, allowing for physically larger diodes, more light capture & better low-light performance
Sony Xperia 1V uses ExmorT IMX 888 stacked CMOS sensor
Upcoming Sony IMX903 and IMX907 will also feature stacked CMOS sensor design
IMX 903 is rumoured for the iPhone 16 series
LYTIA was introduced by Sony Semiconductor at 2022 end & offers image sensors such as LYT900, LYT800, LYT700, LYT600, and LYT500
Oppo Find N3 Fold/ OnePlus Open will feature LYT 800 sensor which has impressive 1/1.43″ size & 53MP resolution
Vivo also partnered with Sony's Lytia division in July for upcoming Vivo X100 series that will feature custom Sony stacked CMOS sensors

Android 14 increases the maximum number of cached applications to 1024 (up from 32)!
That's a HUGE increase.
This was made possible thanks to the improvements Android 14 made to freezing cached apps (so they consume 0 CPU time) and to optimizing context-registered broadcasts.

Xiaomi 14 Pro Renders
Source
Xiaomi 14 Pro will comes with a FLAT display instead of curved screen and will also have TITANIUM FRAME like the iPhone 15 Pro models.
Which grade of titanium it will be is currently unknown
For comparison, iPhone 15 Pro models uses Titanium grade 5
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will have Titanium Grade 9 but cold forged for increased strength
Some tipsters says Xiaomi 14 pro renders are missing some details:
1. Renders are missing IR Blaster
2. NO dividing lines in camera module
3. Punch Hole camera is too low from edge
Just minor differences anyways

Spotify Free tier is USELSSS Now?
Spotify is restricting features for the free tier users in India to force more users towards its paid subscriptions
Now, Spotify free users will NO longer be able to play songs in a specific order, repeat songs, or tap back to their previous songs. These features will only be available to premium users
Taping Back, Repeat and shuffle is such a BASIC feature and that also Spotify made it a premium feature 💀
India is one of the TOP 5 countries in terms of monthly active users of Spotify
Spotify is also the top player in terms of the number of streams in India.
FunFact: acc to a survey from the Indian Music Industry, the digital piracy rate in India is about 73% while the Global average is just 30%
Anyways I use Apple Music & YouTube Premium Music, What about you?

The Dragon Ball Daima
YouTube
Dragon Ball is returning back in the form of a new streaming web anime called Dragon Ball Daima
It’ll be incorporating some spin-off ideas from Dragon Ball GT even and is also separate from Dragon Ball Super
Dragon Ball Diama trailer was showcased at NewYork Comic Con and it will be released next year
In the teaser, a mysterious new character appeared to use a wish with the Dragon Balls to turn Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin and the rest of the cast into children
They will then need to work together to become adults again and in b/w their journey, they will go to different realms & planets to fight enemies
Although this does sound very much like Dragon Ball GT but it will NOT be a recreation of that series.

Smartspacer is a supercharged version of Google's At a Glance widget.
Google's At a Glance widget can already do a lot of things like show you timer and stopwatch info, flashlight reminders, and more, but it has limited support for showing info from other apps. It can show the status from ridesharing apps like Uber, doorbell alerts from Nest, safety check countdowns from Personal Safety, fitness tracking info from Adidas Running and Strava ... but not much else.
Smartspacer, though, has 20 different plugins to pull info from a variety of apps and OS settings, including:
* Aftership
* Amazon
* BBC Weather
* Google Finance
* Google Keep
* Google Maps
* Google Wallet
* Health Connect
* Pokemon Go
* Samsung Health
* Uber
* Yahoo Sports
* YouTube
There are also plugins for showing the battery (of the device, connected devices, and remote devices), notifications, sunrise/sunset info, data usage, and energy monitor.
Oh. And it HAS A PLUGIN FOR TASKER! That means you can basically program Smartspacer to show ANYTHING you want.
Using Smartspacer, you can do things like show your loyalty cards or Keep lists when you're at certain locations. You can also show more advanced flight tracking info, better delivery alerts, and so much more.
Best part: It doesn't require root access and works on both Pixel and non-Pixel devices. On Pixel devices, Smartspacer even keeps all the original At a Glance functionality, so you lose nothing by switching to it.
My friend Kieron Quinn has been working on Smartspacer for nearly a year and a half now and is getting ready to release it. Right now, it's in a preview state and is only available to a handful of testers. If you're interested, then join the Discord group!
(Developers: Kieron says he's making an SDK for launcher integration. Documentation and the SDK for plugin development will also be released soon.)

Google is working on Google Glasses and a Pixel Ring
In January 2022, it was reported that Google was building an AR headset under the “Project Iris” that is meant to compete against Meta & Apple.
But in June 2023, Insider reported that Google has killed off its plans for Project Iris & the project’s leader already left Google even
However, the report does noted that the AR Headset is still in development & now a leaker also confirms the same
Apart from the AR Headset, Google is currently developing a wearable controller— 'Pixel Ring' for Augmented Reality (AR). This Pixel Ring will be fitted onto user's index finger & will be linked to control Google Smart Glasses
Well, Google's XR Division is still alive anyways
Google is just now focused more on software than hardware.
It’s building a “micro XR” platform that it could license to other headset manufacturers like it does with Android
Also, Google’s Goggles “were actually the foundations” of the upcoming Samsung headset.
