Huawei aims to revive the popularity of small phones, and you'll find yourself wanting one as well.

      Since the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, there has been a noticeable demand from fans for more compact and smaller phones. This isn’t just a case of nostalgia. I’ve been using Samsung’s compact foldable phone for several weeks now, and the only reason I can't stop using it is because it's so comfortable to hold and easy to fit in my pocket. What if a candybar-style phone could replicate that design? Well, Huawei has answered your call.

      The latest offering from the Chinese tech giant is the Pura X View. It features a wide 16:9.5 aspect ratio, emphasizing a broader display. As seen in the promotional images, the phone appears quite appealing and handy.

      But don’t be mistaken; this device seems to have substantial power. While Huawei hasn’t disclosed all the specifications, some noteworthy details are available on its website.

      The display has a resolution of 2232 x 1320 pixels, with peak brightness reaching up to 6500 nits. This is nearly double the brightness output of an average high-end smartphone today. The bezels are consistently slim, with Huawei claiming a 96.1% screen-to-body ratio for the Pura X View.

      Weighing in at 201 grams, and despite its broader shape, it has a thickness of only 6.65 millimeters. For comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro measures 8.75 millimeters in thickness. Even with its slim build, the phone is equipped with a large 7,000 mAh battery. If Huawei’s other smartphones are any indication, this model should also support ultra-fast wired and wireless charging.

      **Huawei**

      Pricing details remain undisclosed, but the phone will be available in four colors and three memory configurations, each featuring 12 GB of RAM. The significant drawback? It operates on Harmony OS 7 and there is little likelihood that Huawei will release it beyond the Chinese smartphone market.

      **ChatGPT can now read your Apple Messages chats on Mac**

      A new integration for ChatGPT allows it to access Apple Messages on Mac, providing it with an additional source of context.

This feature enables users to import conversations from Apple’s Messages app into ChatGPT, giving the assistant more context without needing to copy and paste conversations manually.

      **I tried the Pixel 11 Pro’s Magic Capture on my cat, and I love each hilarious frame**

      Google designed Magic Capture for moments like these.

      My phone is filled with photos of my cat—surprise! From perfect frames to amusing moments, I cherish every shot. However, my cat has two responses whenever I point a phone at him: he either shows complete disinterest in whatever adorable thing he was doing or suddenly moves so quickly that capturing the perfect moment becomes nearly impossible. This is precisely where the Magic Capture feature on the Pixel 11 Pro proved useful. It addressed the challenge of photographing my cat with minimal effort on my part. Google designed this new camera mode for fleeting moments like babies smiling, action shots, and especially for playful pets. After chasing my cat around with a feather for a little while, I understand why it was developed.

      **Google missed the plot with HiLight on the Pixel 11 Pro, but an app just unlocked it**

      Hey, Google, you're noticing this, right?

      One of the standout features in the Pixel 11 series this year is the new colorful LED notification system known as "HiLight." The primary idea behind this colorful light is its customizability. Unfortunately, Google has restricted its functionality. For instance, it only activates during interactions with Gemini or when designated as a caller identity for voice calls. That's about the extent of its capabilities. Following the launch of this feature on the latest flagship phones, enthusiasts expressed disappointment over the missed potential. Users should have been allowed to customize the light colors on a per-app basis, or even delve further. Thankfully, a solution has emerged. Tech content creator @Dhananjay_Tech (DhananjayBhosale) has developed an app that fully unlocks HiLight on the Pixel 11 Pro smartphones.
