Humane looking to sell the company barely a month after Ai Pin release
According to “people familiar with the matter,” Humane is “seeking a buyer for its business” and in talks with a financial advisor to assist in a potential sale. It’s noted that the process is still very early, but that Humane is looking for a sale between $750 million and $1 billion.
It should come as no surprise that the startup is looking to sell itself to a larger company, but the speed at which this is happening seems especially quick.

The top two garbage Chinese brands, one with 2MP useless sensor and another with worst binned Snapdragon comparing itself with the Samsung S24+ that uses a Telephoto camera and a powerful Exynos 2400 chip
Poco even mentions that they uses some 'premium' metal frame but they hide the fact that its aluminium only
Realme on the other hand, got the balls guts to compare itself with S24+ without comparing the camera as if camera doesn't matter

Redmi Note 13R features Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 Advanced Edition
Since Redmi Note 13R is basically Redmi Note 12R with just a different design and different front camera (8MP instead of 5MP), so to add more differences between the two, Xiaomi ended up offering Note 13R with 'advanced edition' of Snapdragon 4 Gen 2
Now you might wonder what's advance in a budget SoC.
Well, compared to regular Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 equipped in Redmi Note 12R, Xiaomi overclocked it by just '100MHz' and called it advanced edition SD 4 Gen 2 in Redmi Note 13R
Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 is clocked at 2.2GHz but the advanced edition is clocked at 2.3GHz (Just 100MHz faster)

Android phones are getting a theft protection feature that automatically locks them when they’re stolen!
Theft Detection Lock uses a ML model to detect when someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike, or drive away. It uses data from your phone’s accelerometer and gyroscope and checks if common motions associated with theft are detected. If so, your phone will quietly lock itself.
The Theft Detection Lock feature will roll out through Google Play Services later this year on Android 10+ devices.
Other new theft protection features include:
- Upgraded factory reset protection in Android 15. If a thief tries to force a reset of a stolen device, they won’t be able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account credentials.
- Disabling Find My Device or extending screen timeout now requires your screen credential.
- Enhanced authentication, when enabled, will require biometrics for accessing and changing critical Google account and device settings (like changing your PIN), disabling theft protection, or accessing passkeys from an untrusted location. This will roll out to select devices later this year.
- Offline Device Lock automatically locks the screen to protect your data even when your device is off the grid.
- Remote Lock lets you lock your phone with just your phone number (and a quick security challenge) in case you forgot your Google account password and can’t access Find My Device. This will be available on Android 10+.
- Private Space in Android 15. You can hide particularly sensitive apps in Private Space using a separate credential.

Thus, First Vivo launched X100S Series with Dimensity 9300 Plus which is basically the same as the Vivo X100 series with a different chipset
Now iQOO, which is a sub-brand of Vivo, also launched the Neo 9S Pro without launching the vanilla iQOO Neo 9S

💥 A Rant about Realmeme and it's shitty support for bootloader unlock
🤡 While the brand is busy in spamming shitty smartphones and rebranding its own shitty smartphones with even shittiest names, there's a main work that it has started ignoring silently i.e., Bootloader Unlock tool. With Android 14 having launched almost 6 months back and Android 15 beta released too, the users are in haywire with no official bootloader unlock tool launched for the Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14 yet for any of the devices.
😒 Also a notable mention to the legendary device Realme GT Neo 3 which launched in 2022 is left to die as it didn't get any official bootloader unlock tool till date.
🤦♂ For what Realme calls it as a big brand and also securing top 5 spot in India recently, it's a shitty and shameful act to shy away from 3rd party customisation, for which once Realme used to boast about.
👀 What does Realme want? Should the users stick to the shitty Realme UI filled with shitty bloatwares and saxx apps recommendations every now and then? Should a user suffer so much UI lags, glitches, bugs, bloatwares, saxx ads recommendations?
🤯 With another launch coming up soon, we are seeing zero development towards this path from Realme. It's high time users raise voice towards such dictatorship practice of Realmeme and boycott their products until Realmeme starts providing the latest bootloader unlock tools.

Project Elixir, despite its promise of a customizable and better Android experience, presents significant risks that users should be aware of.
A post from @TheNotesOfJosh on X/Twitter, he reported that there's a malicious code that prevents people to use their pro features and leads to something worse, "... this code is set to wipe your data, your internal storage, your external storage, and if you have any, your ESIMs too. The conditions to trigger this code are to try enabling paywalled custom Android features." They recently changed their ways to make it even more unusable.
And the fact that they didn't even make a post on their announcements channel regarding this change makes it even worse. It can trigger all android users already.
A side note; we are not spreading dramas, or even spreading false information, this post was made to spread the awareness. The receipts you'll see inside the post are enough to avoid them. If you need more details, check the full thread.
