Following its global unveiling last month, Samsung has introduced its premium 32-inch Smart Monitor M9 with a 4K QD-OLED screen in the Indian market. In addition to the M9, the company has also updated its M8 and M7 smart monitor models, incorporating new AI-driven capabilities designed to elevate both streaming and gaming experiences.

Galaxy Z Fold 7: What to expect from Samsung's thinnest book-style foldable Samsung's forthcoming foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is anticipated to be slimmer than any previous book-style foldable from the company. A report from 9To5Google highlights that screen protector manufacturer WSKEN has listed a new product for the device on Amazon, alongside a video that seemingly reveals the potential design of the smartphone. Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has addressed recent speculation, confirming that it does not intend to discontinue its established collaboration with German optics firm Leica. This clarification comes after several reports claimed that the company would drop Leica branding from its upcoming flagship devices, including the expected Xiaomi 16 series. In a statement, a Xiaomi spokesperson dismissed the rumours as 'entirely unfounded.' Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Watch 8 series on July 9, alongside the next generation of Z series foldables during its second Galaxy Unpacked event this year. While the focus may be on the foldables, the Watch 8 is expected to see notable upgrades over current models, according to specifications circulating online ahead of the launch. Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro is likely to see a significant design update, with recently leaked images showing both the Pro and Pro Max versions featuring a shifted Apple logo and a new full-width camera bar on the back, replacing the usual corner bump. As reported by 9To5Mac, the images were shared by X (formerly Twitter) user Majin Bu, who claims the devices depicted are the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Google has refreshed the icon of its Gemini app on both Android and iOS platforms. According to 9To5Google, the new logo adopts a multicoloured design similar to other well-known Google apps. "The Blue is the predominant hue at the right, while the other colour points are red, yellow, and green." Apple is preparing to launch the first public beta of iOS 26 in the coming weeks. Introduced at WWDC 2025, the new OS is already available in its developer beta and debuts Apple's 'Liquid Glass' design approach. iOS 26 also introduces Apple Intelligence capabilities like real-time call and audio translation, as well as updates to core apps including Phone, Messages, and Music. Additionally, it features a new Apple Games app for managing gaming content across Apple devices. Samsung is likely to introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 7 at its upcoming Unpacked event on July 9. Ahead of the announcement, purported images and videos of the device have surfaced online, hinting at a larger cover display and a slimmer overall profile. In a pioneering effort, the Andhra Pradesh government is rolling out a technology-driven mosquito control initiative using AI. Named the Smart Mosquito Surveillance System (SMoSS), the platform aims to monitor and manage mosquito populations more effectively and safely. The pilot phase will launch across 66 sites within six major municipal corporations—Visakhapatnam (16), Vijayawada (28), Kakinada (4), Rajamahendravaram (5), Nellore (7), and Kurnool (6). OnePlus has updated its budget-friendly audio lineup in India with the Bullets Wireless Z3, designed for users seeking dependable sound on a tight budget. Priced at Rs 1,699, the Z3 avoids luxury features like active noise cancellation but delivers a well-rounded package of comfort, utility, and sound quality. Equipped with 12.4mm dynamic drivers and support for 3D Audio, the Z3 presents itself as a solid option in the affordable earphone segment. "I've been using it for the past few weeks and here's how these fared." Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi, took a direct jab at Apple during the launch of Xiaomi's second electric vehicle—a highly anticipated SUV—held in Beijing last month. Highlighting Apple's withdrawal from the car project after spending over a decade and $10 billion, Lei remarked, 'Since Apple stopped developing its car, we've given special care to Apple users,' referencing the ability of iPhones to connect seamlessly with Xiaomi's new cars.
