Three iPhone 17 Pro features that have me seriously considering upgrading
The iPhone 16 Pro . | Image Credit – PhoneArena I'm in for an upgrade potentially this year, and I'm eyeing Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series, and more specifically, the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max. The Pro Max models are always attractive to me because of the battery, but curiously enough, I've also been considering this time going for the smaller model. The iPhone 17 Pro may have all the upgrades that the Pro Max does, but in a slightly smaller body. And a couple of features plus the smaller, lighter body are seriously tempting me right now. Same as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, rumor has it that there would be a new telephoto camera now with a 48MP resolution. I've been appreciating more and more telephoto capabilities on smartphones and I constantly see great and creative ideas for photos that I miss due to rocking an aging now iPhone 13 Pro Max (and its not-that-good telephoto camera). Plus, a 48MP resolution means the zoomed-in photos will be of higher quality, something that my poor iPhone 13 Pro Max can't really boast about. The higher quality also means I can publish them on social media and enjoy the wow-factor from capturing a distant (and very cute) squirrel. And yep, I'm obsessed with that squirrel and I really want to take a usable photo of it (it lives in the park near my house). iPhone 16 Pro Max vs iPhone 16 Pro. | Image Credit – PhoneArena The key reason why I may be switching to a Pro and not a Pro Max this year is the size and weight. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to weigh a little bit under 200g (199g is in the rumors at the moment), while the Pro Max may come in at around 230g. Also, the size is key here: 6.3 inches vs 6.9 inches on the Pro Max. Let me tell you: I feel like I'm getting seriously tired of my iPhone not fitting in my pockets (any of them, not just those in my slim-fit jeans!) and of me having to carry a bag specifically for the phone. And I'm getting even more seriously tired of being almost forced to use my AirPods every time during a longer call as the heavy and big iPhone 13 Pro Max drags my arm into a muscle spasm... Why I went with a Pro Max model in the first place was the battery, as I hate battery anxiety more than I hated carrying a bag (at the time). However, the iPhone 17 Pro is also expected to have good battery life. Yep, the rumor for a huge battery on the Pro Max is there, alright, but the iPhone 16 Pro has acceptable battery life (16h of browsing on our tests). So, even if Apple increases the battery on the iPhone 17 Pro just a tiny bit, it may be enough. Another rumor about the iPhone 17 Pro (and the entire iPhone 17 series) is an upgraded selfie camera. I've been taking selfies with my new puppy every minute (okay, okay, that may be an overstatement) so having a good-quality selfie camera is becoming a must for me. Not that the 13 Pro Max's selfie camera is terrible, but it's 12MP, and it feels oldish. The second lighting turns a bit dimmer, that's when quality drops significantly, and my dog and I look like we've taken a selfie in 2005. So yep, an upgrade in this department would definitely be welcome and really entices me to think about the iPhone 17 Pro. Well, it seems now that I think of it, the only trade-off when I compare the Pro and the Pro Max is the giant battery life. The iPhone 17 Pro Max may keep the lights on for significantly longer than the Pro, but the fact that the iPhone 16 Pro is already pretty good in our tests indicates that I may not need a Pro Max as much as I feel like I would. The thing is, battery life is hard for me to give up, but it's not like I'm going to an iPhone 8. And quite possibly, the iPhone 17 Pro will perform better than my 13 Pro Max in this department anyway (my 13 Pro Max is, actually, almost in need of a battery replacement at the moment). Other than battery life, there's also the strange new redesign that has been in the rumors for months now. Reportedly, Apple may make the camera bump into a camera island, a huge 'thing' spanning across the top part of the phone. I may accept the design trade-off, though, as I would probably look at the design only in the beginning and then totally forget about it as I get used to the new iPhone. It seems so, at the moment. There's also going to be a new chip (A19 Pro), the new iOS 26 will balance out the design for me ( iOS 26 is gorgeous in my opinion) and the size may be my key consideration. Also, there's the fact that the iPhone 17 Pro costs less than the Pro Max, which is also good in the current economic climate... AND you don't miss out on key Pro-grade features.

Get the REDMAGIC Astra gaming tablet a day early with this Early Bird voucher
Sub-10' gaming tablets are a growing trend – more portable than a typical slate, while still offering flagship performance. The REDMAGIC Astra (known as the REDMAGIC Tablet 3 Pro in some regions) is just such a tablet and it has the same silicon as the REDMAGIC 10S Pro and a similar cooling system to boot. Here's how you can be the first in line to get one, while also scoring a discount and some freebies. It's pretty simple - you need an Early Bird voucher. But first, let's meet the Astra. REDMAGIC Astra Eclipse (black) REDMAGIC Astra (Silver) The tablet has a 9.06' OLED display – a 16:10 panel with 2,400 x 1,504px resolution. It runs at up to 165Hz and has 240Hz touch sampling rate. There is a thin, symmetrical 4.9mm bezel around the display. With the high refresh rate, this display is built for gaming, but it also offers an immersive experience for watching videos. It has studio-level color calibration (deltaE of around 0.7) and support for the DCI-P3 color space. Being an OLED, it also has great contrast. Plus, it has been certified for Blue Light Eye Protection by SGS. 9.06' OLED display with 165Hz refresh rate The Astra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite plus the RedCore R3 Pro, which is responsible for image and frame rate interpolation among other things. The tablet is equipped with fast LPDDR5T RAM (up to 24GB) and UFS 4.1 Pro storage (up to 1TB). The enhanced ICE-X cooling system features liquid metal – it's called that because it starts softening at 50°C and carries much more heat than thermal paste. The metal is over the Snapdragon and the battery charging chips. Keeping things cool during charging improves efficiency by 13%. REDMAGIC also employed the industry's first dual layer vapor chamber. And, as we've come to expect from the brand, there is a 17 x 17mm shark-fin cooling fan that can spin up to 20,000 RPM (and it has the requisite RGB lighting per gaming machine tradition). Snapdragon 8 Elite with dual-layer vapor chamber, liquid metal and fan Speaking of charging, the 8,200mAh battery needs 71 minutes for a full charge. Bypass charging is an option to further reduce heat and prolong the battery's life. This capacity is enough to last over 5 hours of playing Honkai: Star Rail or Arena of Valor. Or if you just want to veg out and binge your favorite shows, the tablet will last up to 33 hours of continuous video playback. 8,200mAh battery with bypass charging The REDMAGIC Astra is designed for gaming and multimedia. Besides the performant chip, it has a screen that can reach 1,600 nits full-screen brightness and stereo speakers with DTS:X Ultra, plus dual x-axis linear motors for gaming feedback. The USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port supports video out, so you can use a large external monitor with options including 2K @ 240Hz, 4K @ 144Hz and even 8K at 60Hz. You can also hook up external storage and other accessories as the port offers up to 10Gbps bandwidth. Stereo speakers and USB-C port with DisplayPort So, yes, you can use the Astra for work too – but if gaming is more your speed, here's what this tablet can do. It already has support for high refresh rate gaming in some titles with more on the way later this month: Available Call of Duty: Mobile 120Hz Minecraft 165Hz Arena Breakout 144Hz Coming July 2025 PUBG 120Hz League of Legends: Wild Rift 144Hz Delta Force 144Hz More coming soon! The Game Center launcher offers a performance monitor as well as control over games. For example, the RedCore R3 Pro chip can upscale Genshin Impact from 60fps to 120fps by going into the Picture Quality settings and picking High Frame Rate. Some mobile games are locked to portrait mode – you can force them into landscape using Game Space plug-ins. Additionally, you can pick different aspect ratios, including full-screen, 4:3 and 16:9. The latter is great if you want to cast gameplay to an external display. There are more plug-ins – from custom crosshairs to sound equalization. There is even a multi-screen gameplay mode. Alright, here's the deal. The REDMAGIC Astra will be available globally starting on July 16 – but you can get it a day early if you buy an Early Bird voucher. The voucher costs just $1 and comes with a $30 discount when it comes time to buy the tablet on July 15 (a day before people without a voucher). Additionally, you get a free 80W charger and gaming finger sleeves with the voucher. You will find pricing details for the Astra below, along with a full list of countries where the gaming tablet will be available. 12GB/256GB (Eclipse, Silver) 16GB/512GB (Eclipse, Silver) 24GB/1TB (Eclipse) US USD 550 USD 700 USD 900 Canada CAD 750 CAD 950 CAD 1,250 EU EUR 500 EUR 650 EUR 850 UK GBP 440 GBP 560 GBP 740 Singapore SGD 780 SGD 1,000 SGD 1,250 Mexico MXN 11,000 MXN 14,500 MXN 19,000 UAE AED 2,000 AED 2,500 AED 3,300 Rest of World USD 500 USD 650 USD 850 North America : Canada and the United States. : Canada and the United States.

Galaxy Watch 8's best feature is a scientifically proven longevity marker
Samsung lifted the curtain before its next wearables and unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 to the world. The lineup consists of a regular Galaxy Watch 8, coming in two sizes; a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic; and one additional color for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, coupled with more storage. In terms of hardware, there aren't many upgrades. The chipset is the same, there's kind of a new design, borrowed from the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and the displays are brighter. But Samsung updated its BioActive sensor system to add a couple of new metrics, one of which could be a game-changer. I'm talking about the new Antioxidant Index, and in my opinion, it's the best Galaxy Watch 8 feature. Let me try to explain why. Galaxy Watch 8 Antioxidant Index—what is it? Oxidative stress and aging Reactive species play a key role in aging | Image by PixaBay One of the key factors in aging is oxidative stress. You've probably heard of antioxidants as the miracle anti-aging substance, and even though these molecules are wildly overhyped, there's truth to the story. What happens is that as your body functions, oxidative species, also called free radicals, are released into your system. These chemicals are very reactive and oxidize cells (think how iron rusts when oxidized) causing cell damage. Free radicals damaging the cell | Image by Auro Wellness Now, specific lifestyle choices can speed up this process, and these include drinking alcohol, smoking, UV exposure, stress, and lack of sleep. Conversely, the aforementioned antioxidants can slow this process down by removing the harmful free radicals from your system. Surprisingly, some of the most potent antioxidants out there are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and other amino acids that can be found in many foods. If only there was a way to know if we're getting enough of those without going to our GP and visiting the lab. Well, now there is. How does it work? The new Antioxidant Index measures carotenoids on your skin | Image by PhoneArena Samsung has managed to provide us with a metric that reflects the amount of antioxidants in your body. This "Antioxidant Index" uses skin measurement of carotenoids to assess the overall levels of antioxidants in your body. These carotenoids are compounds similar to the vitamins I was talking about and do the same job—they remove "bad" free radicals from your system. Just place your thumb on the sensor | Image by PhoneArena You take your watch off, place your thumb on the BioActive sensor array on the back, and wait for five seconds to get a measurement. Your score is on a scale from 0 to 100 with three zones in between—Very Low, Low, and Adequate. I guess I should eat more veggies | Image by PhoneArena The system uses light reflected from your skin (reflection spectroscopy) in a certain way to assess the level of these carotenoids, much like the SpO2 sensor measures the levels of oxygen in your blood. But is this method scientifically proven, and how accurate is it? Is it scientifically proven? A medical-grade skin carotenoid scanner | Image by NuSkin The short answer is yes! Measuring carotenoids both through blood samples and through skin (using reflection spectroscopy) are both scientifically proven methods of assessing overall health in humans. There are many studies on the subject, including a peer-reviewed one from 2021, which aimed to assess how measuring skin carotenoids in low-income schools correlates with the overall health of the children there. Another big study published in ScienceDirect reviewed the measurement of skin carotenoids and their association with diseases. Scientists found that skin carotenoid levels correlate with blood carotenoid levels and can be used as a marker for health and longevity. Here's an excerpt from the study: " Skin carotenoid levels are correlated with blood carotenoid concentrations and can serve as an alternative indicator for evaluating carotenoid levels in the body, thus reducing the need for blood concentration measurements. Skin carotenoid levels can be measured using optical methods, and once the equipment is available, there are minimal costs associated with these measurements. Additionally, the measurement process is quick, making it suitable for large-population studies, such as epidemiological research. Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants associated with the prevention of various diseases. Extensive research has been conducted on the relation between blood carotenoid levels and diseases, with carotenoid indices indicating susceptibility to certain diseases." It's worth noting that during my test with the system, the results were slightly different between my left thumb and my right thumb, and there was also a slight deviation between different measurements. But overall, the results were in the same ballpark. The best Galaxy Watch 8 feature? Foods high in antioxidants | Image by PixaBay Okay, this is all fine and dandy, but why do I think it's the best feature in such a feature-packed smartwatch? Well, first—almost all smartwatches on the market now measure very similar metrics and also use similar algorithms. You get your heart rate or ECG readings, your SpO2 levels, your stress levels (via algorithms tied to the heart rate variability), and in some cases skin temperature on the wrist (which is not a very useful metric). But the Galaxy Watch 8 is the first mainstream gadget that's able to measure the concentration of a chemical compound in your body in a non-invasive way. The Galaxy Watch 8 is a powerful mini lab on your wrist | Image by PhoneArena Second, while heart rate and SpO2 levels are important, these metrics are not very good at showing your dietary habits and choices. You have to use a separate app and manually punch in what you eat to get an idea of how you're doing on that front. Having the ability to check your antioxidant level on the go in just five seconds is just astonishing. When you couple these measurements with the other BioActive suite of metrics, including body composition, you're getting a mini medical lab on your wrist. And any feature that helps you feel better and live longer must be deemed "the best," right? What do you think about the new Antioxidant Index? Would you be using it on a regular basis, or is it just another gimmick for you? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
