RedMagic's '10 Pro' is a Mobile Gaming Powerhouse
The RedMagic 10 Pro is anAndroid-based smartphone that includes all of the typical features you'd expect in a modern phone, like a bright touchscreen with a high refresh rate, contactless payments, long battery life, and multiple cameras capable of capturing ultra-high-resolution photos and video. But what sets it apart from most is that it's been built with a focus on gaming and, as such, has been optimized
It boasts a 6.85-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, providing a fluid scrolling experience in everyday use and more than enough frames for super-smooth gaming. Additionally, it can reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, which ensures clarity and visibility under direct sunlight, and put it on par with other flagship devices including Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max. Unlike the iPhone, though, the RedMagic 10 Pro has a notch-free display, with the selfie camera hidden below the screen to let provide users with completely uninterrupted gameplay.
Powering the RedMagic 10 Pro is one of the best chipsets currently available, with Qualcomm's flagship mobile processor theSnapdragon 8 Elite found at the heart of the device. This, together with up to 24GB of RAM (depending on the model variant), ranks the RedMagic 10 Pro among the most capable smartphones currently on the market in terms of pure performance, and in real worldterms the 10 Pro shines brightest when it comes to the main reason it exists: gaming.
Powering the RedMagic 10 Pro is Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset – one of the most advanced mobile processors available today. Paired with up to 24GB of RAM (depending on the model), it firmly positions the 10 Pro among the most performance-driven smartphones on the market, especially when it comes to gaming. The 10 Pro handles even the most demanding Android games with ease, running titles likeGenshin Impact – notorious for hogging both the CPU and the GPU – steadily at high frame rates with ease and with minimal dips in performance. Additionally, the power derived from the Snapdragon chipset combined with the largeamount of RAM included by RedMagic makes the 10 Pro the ideal emulation device. Users can also expect to smoothly run various emulators with near-perfect performance for consoles including Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 3, as well as the PC emulatorWinlator, creating the potential to place vast games libraries in your pocket.
Other gamer-focused features not found in most smartphones that are present in the RedMagic 10 Pro include its RGB LED lighting, which users can control and cusomize to their liking. Most importantly, though, the 10 Pro features a bespoke temperature management system known as ICE-X and described by RedMagic as the 'ultimate cooling system.' The ICE-X system is key to sustaining the 10 Pro's high performance levels and helps to keep the gaming phone's temperature down as as user turns things up during demanding gameplay sessions. It features a 23,000 RPM active fan that's been designed to operate at minimal noise, with liquid metal thermal conductivity used to ensure efficient heat dissipation and 'sustained peak performance even during marathon gaming sessions,' according to the brand. There are even two fully remappable 520Hz 'shoulder triggers' that act like real 'L' and 'R' buttons and work through haptic feedback, providing gamers with an alternative to touchscreen controls and coming in especially helpful with first-person shooter games.
The RedMagic 10 Pro features a total of three cameras: a dual-lens setup on the rear comprising a wide and an ultra-wide, both at 50MP, and a single front-facing camera, the aforementioned selfie cam. Although RedMagic has managed to discreetly hide its front camera under the screen, it features a total of 2MP and is probably the weakest part of the phone.
Gaming phones are quite niche and there are only two major manufacturers left in this space – RedMagic and ASUS – but, with the 10 Pro, RedMagic has managed to deliver maximum features at at an affordable price.
The RedMagic 10 Pro isavailable nowin various finishes and specification starting at £549 GBP / $649 USD.

Deadline to submit claim in $95M Siri settlement is Wednesday: What to know
(NEXSTAR) — Time is running out to file a claim in a $95 million settlement over allegations that Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, was snooping on users and sharing that data with third-parties. While Apple denied wrongdoing in the case, telling Nexstar that 'Siri has been engineered to protect user privacy from the beginning,' the company agreed to the multi-million dollar settlement. The deadline to claim your portion of the settlement is Wednesday, July 2, which means you only have a short window of time to apply. According to the settlement site, you had to have a Siri-equipped Apple device between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024. During that time, your 'confidential communications' must have been 'obtained by Apple and/or were shared with third parties as a result of an unintended Siri activation.' You may have already received an email (which may have gone to your spam folder) or a postcard notifying you that you may qualify. Either correspondence will have an identification code and a confirmation code used to apply for a payout. You can still file a claim online without an email or postcard. Codes provided via email or postcard can be entered into this online form. If you believe you qualify but did not receive those codes, administrators say you can submit a new claim on the settlement website. There, you'll be asked to fill out a form with your contact information and details about your device (or devices) that may be impacted. For the latter, you'll need to include the email address linked to the device and proof of purchase, like a receipt or an invoice. Without proof of purchase, you'll need to provide the serial number and model for each device. It depends on how many qualifying devices you have. You can add up to five Siri-enabled Apple devices to your claim if you believe they were unintentionally activated during a conversation you meant to be confidential or private. Qualifying Apple devices include: Settlement officials say you may receive up to $20 per qualifying Siri device, meaning at best, you could receive $100 (for five qualifying devices). The payout could increase or decrease based on the number of valid claims, however. Tens of millions of people may qualify for the settlement, Reuters previously reported. If your claim is approved, and the settlement doesn't face any delays, it could still be awhile before you receive your payment. A final hearing is scheduled for August 1, according to the settlement website. Without delays, the earliest payments could be disbursed is later this year. However, other recent class action lawsuit settlements show it could take even longer. Two settlements reached in 2022 — one against Facebook, another against T-Mobile — didn't start dispersing payments until this year.

The sky above the production was the color of television.
The sky above the production was the color of television. It's been a bit since we've heard from Apple about its adaptation of William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. And while it'll likely be quite some time before we actually see the series, today brings some good news: the show is officially in production.

Mobility data creates traffic modeling opportunities, privacy challenges: MIT panel
This story was originally published on Smart Cities Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Smart Cities Dive newsletter. Tech companies like Google, Apple and Tesla have changed the mobility data landscape, according to participants on a panel about the intricacies of mobility data hosted by the MIT Mobility Initiative in May. Governments have the opportunity to use private sector data, in conjunction with their own data, to create better transportation outcomes, panelists said. Some panelists said the various entities collecting data can make it challenging to determine who owns the data. As transportation and tech companies became increasingly intertwined over the past 20 years, private sector and open source data has exploded, Jinhua Zhao, professor of cities and transportation at MIT, said during the panel. Zhao said determining who owns that data can be tricky. He presented an example of someone driving their Tesla down a section of I-90 funded by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation using Google Maps on their iPhone with Verizon Wireless service. 'In this case, who has a claim on my data?' Zhao said. 'Who defines the property right of data?' Even so, abundant data presents opportunities for transportation policymakers. Ralf-Peter Schäfer, vice president of product management traffic and travel information at mobility data company TomTom, said data can help reduce congestion and make roads safer. He cited an example in Tokyo, where a traffic light control company used TomTom data to optimize traffic signals and give guidance on speeds. 'We are in a revolution of traffic management and planning using data,' Schäfer said. Paul Friedman, co-founder and CTO of transportation data company StreetLight Data, said his company ingests almost 15 billion raw GPS points per day — more than the 13.7 billion Google searches conducted per day. Some aspects of data collection could be improved, he added, pointing out that the quality of data collected for pedestrians and cyclists is worse than vehicle data collection in the United States. 'I think the biggest trend that I'm pleased to see is that the acceptance of using data to make decisions and to validate decisions has grown,' Friedman said.
