 Hello readers, Satyam is back to share some of the best news and updated facts about technology that you should always be aware of, but if you haven't read my previous blog where I discuss the Snap Cam not being supported in your phone, you can read it by clicking here.

So let's get started on today's blog with a bang because I had to choose top news that will keep you interested while reading the blog and will be of more use, so share it with your friends and relatives who are also very interested in technology so that they can stay updated as well. 

1. Samsung Wear OS 3 update.

An analogue watch is superior to a budget smartwatch, as previously stated; however, budget smartwatches now offer some great features, such as bluetooth calling and an Amoled screen, and these more expensive watches are also updating to a very advanced level. As the chip size is decreasing and getting smaller and smaller, they are able to introduce more and more features to it.

So, which smartwatch do you have? And what is the best feature that you use in a smartwatch? These are the questions I'm always curious about, and if you have any to add, please leave them in the comments section below.

Google announced the change on its Wear OS support website, telling customers that they will be able to use turn-by-turn navigation in Google Maps on their compatible Wear OS smartwatches without the need for a connected smartphone in the future. 

While this sounds exciting and handy, it does not totally remove you from the need for a wireless connection. Instead, customers who wish to use this feature will need to use a smartwatch with an LTE connection.

This means that only a few Wear OS 3 models presently offer this capability, with the Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch 5 with LTE being two of the more popular alternatives.

2. The iPhone SE 4 from Apple

This is the device that has been discussed in the news, as I said earlier in the blog, and they only reported that this time they will not postpone the launch of the iPhone SE 4. This time, they have cancelled the iPhone SE 4. Raise your hand in the comment box if you have read my previous blog.

According to reports, Apple's in-house baseband processor will be used for the first time in the iPhone SE 4 for the first time.According to reports, the company intended to put its in-house processor through its paces in the mid-tier iPhone before incorporating it into higher-end devices such as the iPhone 16 series.

Since the iPhone SE 4 has been cancelled, it appears that Qualcomm will continue to provide Apple with baseband chips for the time being. Previous rumours suggested that Qualcomm might lose some revenue when Apple switched to its own baseband chips; however, Qualcomm should now be in a much stronger position for the next few years.

So are you waiting for the new iPhone SE 4? And what do you think of this new "SE" series of apples? Mention your thoughts below in the comment section.

3. Google introduces Android split-screen.

Google is always updating its products, whether they are smartphones or software. However, they have now updated the screen feature in automobiles and introduced split-screening. So, how much screen time do you spend in your car? Do you use navigation and other features found in high-end vehicles? 

I actually use my phone or the car's screen to navigate while driving or riding my bike. And I can tell you that it is extremely useful for travelling and navigating in a new city.

It had a revolutionary split-screen interface that could show navigation, music playing controls, and other things at the same time. Although Google stated that the revamp would be available "this summer," it did not appear with the Android Auto 8.0 upgrade in August.

The firm launched it in beta in November, and it is now available to all consumers. Google announced the release alongside a pair of new assistant-powered features for Android Auto customers at the current CES 2023 trade conference.

Google adds in a blog post that summarises all car-related news that the revised Android Auto UI highlights three crucial tasks for drivers: "navigating where you're going, connecting with friends and family, and playing your music or podcasts."

So what do you think of these features updated by Google? and will it be useful for us? or will it only focus on the group of people?

4. Whatsapp transfers data through a QR code.

Have you changed your phone and gotten frustrated with transferring WhatsApp data? Have you transferred WhatsApp from one phone to another? How did you find the experience? Leave your thoughts in the comments section.

WhatsApp users may soon be able to transmit data from one device to another via a QR code. This functionality, according to WaBetaInfo, will give a quick and effective alternative for individuals looking to migrate their conversation history to a new Android phone without backing up their chats and data on Google Drive.

WaBetaInfo is a website that keeps track of current and forthcoming features for the Meta-owned messaging app. The impending option to send data through a QR code will ease and accelerate the migration process. According to the source, the functionality is presently under development. There is no word on when the functionality will become available.

 5. Google will mentor 1,000 women in India.

In India, women are giving strong competition to men in this world, and there is nowhere to say that women are meant to work inside the home as housewives or that they have to live under the duppata or have to wear sarees or anything like that. In my view, girls and women are very independent and can do any work; there is no boundary for that.

Women are at the top of their fields, from gaming and blogging to passing the UPSC. What are your thoughts on it? Please mention this in the comment section, and if you are a woman reader and want to share anything that you want to share with us about your career or anything, then please do so, because if you will share your success story, then it can motivate others.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken praised the work of the US-India Alliance for Women's Economic Empowerment, which unites the private sector and civil society to assist women expand their enterprises, and stated that Google India has committed to mentoring 1 million Indian women entrepreneurs.

Blinken also stated that the Biden administration will promote women's entrepreneurship by addressing some of the challenges that too often hold women back, such as a lack of mentorship and training opportunities, at the launch of the US Strategy on Global Women's Economic Security here on Wednesday.

"We're aiming to build as well as duplicate projects like the US-India Alliance for Women's Economic Empowerment," Blinken explained.

Launch after launch

1. Samsung Galaxy S23 launch date

After lots of gossip and rumors, Samsung decided to launch its S23 series in the market, and I too was eager to know this smartphone's launch date because from November on, there were always some leaks and rumours about this product. Now they have finally launched.

On February 1, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will be officially released. The Galaxy Unpacked event is advertised on the company's official Colombia website with the motto "Epic moments are coming."

The smartphone series was expected to debut later in February, but it has now been confirmed to do so on February 1. The Galaxy Unpacked advertising graphic also exposes three camera sensors for the future series. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is projected to have three smartphones: the Galaxy S23, the Galaxy S23+, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

So, do you like Samsung's smartphones? If so, please describe your current Samsung device or the device you have used so far.

2. The POCO X5 will be released soon.

I like the Poco phone, and I am currently using the Poco X2, which is part of the Poco X series, and in my opinion, this brand provides a good phone for the price.

Poco X5 Pro might be released in India shortly. Although the Xiaomi sub-brand has yet to officially declare a date, a new leak says that the next Poco X series smartphone will go official in the nation around the last week of this month.

The Poco X5 Pro is expected to launch as a renamed Redmi Note 12 Speed Edition. If the Poco X5 Pro is a rebranded gadget, its specs will be the same. It will most likely be powered by a Snapdragon 778G SoC with up to 12GB of RAM. The Poco X5 Pro is reported to include a 5,000mAh battery and a triple-back camera configuration.

And according to rumors, a new phone from the X series, the POCO X4, is also going to launch soon and be listed on that site.

3. The Xbox Series X is on sale.

Are you a gamer? and want to have an Xbox or PlayStation? Xbox is a good package that will fulfil all of your gaming fantasies. It is my dream to have a room with a large screen, an advanced gaming system, and all RGB LED lighting around it, with a very fluffy sofa against it. Mention your preferred or existing system. And which game do you want to play the most?

The Xbox Series X is presently available on Flipkart at the launch price. The online bookstore is now providing a 10% discount on Microsoft's flagship next-generation console, which recently experienced a price increase to Rs. 55,990.

The 4K Blu-ray-enabled system is presently on sale for Rs. 49,990 as part of the storewide Big Bachat Dhamaal Sale, which runs until January 8. Of course, you may get an extra 10% off by using select credit cards—Bank of Baroda, IDFC FIRST, and Yes Bank—or choose for some modest price savings on other Flipkart purchases.

So, if you've been thinking about purchasing a gaming device, now is the time because this price is very reasonable, and you can get to the specific page on Flipkart by clicking here. 

4. Jalebi is the new dating app.

Have you used any dating apps? And if yes, which one? Don't forget to mention it in the comment box, and if you have any success stories of dating or anything else you want to discuss here, of your choice, then you can share them with us in the comment box.

I used Omegle sometimes before when I was in college, but it was like for fun only and with friends only, and we have seen many YouTube videos about that Omegle conversation. Do you like it, and have you seen it? Please share your thoughts on this.

Aisle has announced the debut of Jalebi, a new dating app geared towards younger users. According to the business, the app has modern and vivid aesthetics and will allow users to discuss their diverse interests while also learning more about possible matches via text and voice prompts.

It also provides features like selfie-verified profiles to boost trust and a mosaic profile design to provide more information about a member at a glance. With Jalebi, the firm's purpose is to create a secure environment for single, progressive, and mostly Gen Z audiences. 

The app's slogan, "Seriously Good Dating," retains the idea of the original Aisle tagline, "Nothing casual about this dating app," and intends to be "an antithesis to the shallow and superficial dating apps."

So that's it from my side, and these are the best news and updates about technology for today. Please comment, follow, and share with your relatives and friends about your tech group.

I will come again tomorrow and share news. Until then, keep smiling and be healthy.
