In this article, we will help you learn how to turn off notifications in Windows 11 and reduce distractions like a pro.
Steps To Turn Off App Notifications In Windows 11

Hyundai is all set to offer their 2nd electric car for the Indian auto market. The Ioniq 5 EV will be in showrooms later this year. We now have confirmed reports that the media drive will take place in end Nov or early December and the car will go on sale before that. The Ioniq 5 is currently undergoing real world evaluations in India and has been spotted several times. For the uninitiated, the vehicle shares the same e-GMP platform as its cousin, Kia EV6 and we can expect the launch early next year.
What’s interesting is that even though both the Ioniq 5 EV and Kia EV6 share the same platform, the former will be priced lower than the other. The reason behind is the fact that Hyundai will localise their car here in India itself and is expected to bring the car with a smaller battery pack. The difference in pricing of both the models will be substantial.
We expect the South Korean carmaker to bring the smaller 58 kWh battery pack that gives a certified range of 383 km on a single charge. In global markets, the Ioniq 5 is also offered with a larger battery pack of 77.4 kWh which gives a more driving range to the customers. However, the bigger battery packs adds a lot of cost to the vehicle.
Feature-wise, the Ioniq 5 EV will be offered with a lot of modern amenities. We can expect a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, a digital instrument cluster, massive panoramic sunroof and more.
Other features like ventilated cooled front seats, head-up display, UV cut glasses, drive modes will also be included in the Ioniq 5. Safety equipment on the upcoming EV includes multiple airbags, ABS with EBD and ESP, front and rear parking sensors, hill hold control, hill descent control, tyre-pressure monitoring system and more.
Hyundai already sells the Kona EV in India. This was launched in July 2019, much before we saw options like the MG ZS EV and the Tata Nexon EV. The Kia EV6 is priced from Rs 59.95 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. We expect the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5 to be priced from as low as Rs 48 lakh. All prices stick to ex-showroom, Delhi. Once launched, the Ioniq 5 will lock horn with Volvo XC40 Recharge, Kia EV6 and Mini Cooper SE.

Vivo has introduced the V25 series in India comprising the vanilla V25 and the Vivo V25 Pro. These smartphones remain true to the essence of the V-series and provide cutting-edge hardware and a color-changing back panel in V25 Pro. Selfies are another feature that has been a constant improvement in the V Series.
Vivo has made incremental upgrades to its selfie cameras every year, particularly with its V series. The Vivo V25 Pro offers a curved-edge display, an enhanced chipset, and a good camera. At first glance, Vivo appears to have done well enough to support its pricing point.
So, how does the V25 Pro stack up? Is the phone a good purchase? We have been using the phone for a short while and here is what we think about the phone.
What’s Inside The Box?

Design
Vivo has done a great job of providing a soft-touch matte finish on the V25 Pro. The handset’s polycarbonate frame has a lustrous, chrome-like finish. Color-changing anti-glare glass, used for the back panel, appears to be effective in preventing fingerprints enhancing the appeal simultaneously. One thing to keep in mind is that only the Sailing Blue finish is capable of changing the color which we are using right now. Additionally, the color-changing feature isn’t as impressive as it was with the V23 Pro from the previous year because it merely shifts from a brighter shade of blue to a darker one under UV radiation.
The Vivo V25 Pro has a curved screen, but even the back is curved, giving the device a slim and sleek design while holding. The phone’s back panel has a rectangular bump for the cameras. It has the three sensors aligned vertically, which is nice. The device looks and feels truly premium.
The volume rocker and power button are located on the right side of the handset, whereas the left panel is kept empty. The speaker grille, USB Type-C charging connector, and SIM card slot are all located on the bottom.
Well, the color option of Sailing Blue that we have is what has us most impressed. With curved edges on the side and decent weight distribution, holding the V25 Pro is a delightful experience in itself.
Display
The 6.56-inch, curved-edge display of the Vivo V23 Pro has thin bezels all around it. These days, curved displays are a feature reserved for mostly high-end smartphones and is yet to become a norm with affordable and budget phones. It is an AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a touch sampling of up to 300Hz. This is an improvement over the 90Hz display found on the V23 Pro and should be used for playing video games.
The AMOLED display has good brightness levels and is risk-free for outdoor use. When compared directly to other products in this price range, color reproduction is also passable but can fall short.
With a 100 percent DCI-P3 wide color gamut, the display is also color accurate. Additionally, there are certifications for HDR 10+, Netflix HDR, and low blue light from SGS.
Processor
The Vivo V25 Pro gets the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC under its hood. Our review unit came with an 8GB / 128GB configuration but the RAM 3.0 tech increased the available RAM by an extra 8GB from the ROM.
The smartphone comes with a ‘Game Boost Mode’ with optimization features. Also, it features a linear vibration motor for haptic feedback. The company has also worked on thermals, with the new Bionic Cooling System, featuring liquid cooling.
Since it has the Dimensity 1300 SoC, our gaming experience was quite decent. Apex Legends ran without any stutters at HD graphics and a High frame rate. It has been smooth and fast to navigate the FunTouch OS while doing a bit of gaming, processing images, and other tasks.
As for software, the phone runs Vivo’s Funtouch OS 12 which is based on Android 12. During our initial usage, we did notice plenty of preinstalled third-party apps. There is a ton of bloatware, some of which can be removed and some of which can be disabled.
Camera
Given that it’s a Vivo V series smartphone, the imaging system is quite advanced. The Vivo V25 Pro sports a triple camera system. It features a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP wide-angle sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor. Meanwhile, the selfie shooter is a 32MP unit. It’s interesting to note that the front camera enables tracking eye autofocus and should be able to provide clear photos and videos of the user.
In daylight, the camera clicks nice, detailed photos. Both the rear and selfie cameras effectively use HDR. We also observed some level of consistency in the color tuning of the ultrawide and primary cameras when clicking photos in the daytime.
In low light situations, the processing algorithm has the tendency to smoothen out photos to reduce noise. However, there are some visible grains, which makes the images appear less sharp. Thanks to OIS, the primary camera takes far better nighttime photos than the ultrawide.
The V25 Pro really shines when it comes to selfies. The 32MP camera front snapper captures a good amount of facial details. The images that we clicked from its front camera were crisp and beautiful.
Coming to the videos, the phone can record optically stabilized videos up to 4K resolution at 60fps. However, stabilized ‘Super Night’ films can only be recorded at 1080p at 30fps, while super stable recordings with hybrid stabilization are limited to 1080p at 60fps. Additionally, you cannot use HDR and Super Night settings at the same time.
Battery
The Vivo V25 Pro packs a 4,830mAh battery. We were able to squeeze out about seven and a half hours worth of screen on time during our usage, and in a real-world scenario, it can last an entire day without charging. It also has good standby time, and it only loses about a percent of its battery overnight when it’s not being used.
The battery can be charged with the bundled 66W FlashCharger. This seems slightly lower than the competition. We would have liked to see 80W charging at this price point.
Final Verdict
With features catered specifically to their requirements, the V25 Pro is a selfie enthusiast’s dream. A whole smartphone experience, on the other hand, revolves around striking the ideal balance between cameras, performance, and battery. While the smartphone leaves a little something to be desired when it comes to performance and battery life, it does scores high on design and selfie capabilities.
Vivo has expanded its V series with the launch of the V25 lineup in India. The next from the company’s lot will be three new Y series phones. Rumors are rife that Vivo will now introduce the Y22, Y22s, and the Y16 in the country. All three upcoming Vivo Y series phones will be launched for affordable audiences in the country. All three phones have started making consistent appearances online in the form of leaks. The latest development is in the form of leaked promotional posters of the Vivo Y22s and the Y16. Here are the details revealed by the poster images:
Vivo Y22s, Vivo Y16 Features Leaked Via Promotional Posters
The Vivo Y22s and the Y16 leaked promotional posters have been leaked by Mysmartprice. The publication has collaborated with tipster Paras Guglani to share the leaked promotional posters of both upcoming Vivo Y series phones. The poster images are in the Vietnamese language suggesting its imminent launch in Vietnam. We’ll speak of the launch details later, let’s first look at the features revealed by the promotional poster.
Starting with the Vivo Y22s, the handset is said to flaunt a new laser pattern design along with flat edges. The Y22s will be packed with the Snapdragon 680 chipset which is an octa-core 4G processor by Qualcomm. The processor will be clubbed with Adreno 610 GPU and will have a maximum clock speed of 2.4 GHz.
The poster also reveals an 8GB RAM capacity. While the storage capacity isn’t confirmed, it could be 128GB. The Vivo Y22s will also have an additional 8GB virtual RAM option. The Vivo Y22s will be packed with a 90Hz display that will have a 2.5D curved glass on top.
The handset will offer a dual camera setup including a 50MP main lens and a 2MP depth sensor. There will be an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls. The Vivo Y22s will be powered by a 5,000 mAh battery along with 18W fast charging support.
The Vivo Y16’s chipset details are not confirmed by the promotional poster. It rather hints at 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The Y16 will come with a 1GB virtual RAM option. It will also feature a 2.5d curved display and a dual rear camera module housing a 13MP main camera and a 2MP secondary sensor. The device will use the same 5,000 mAh battery setup along with 10W charging. The Vivo Y22s will be available in green and blue shades, while the Y16 will come in black and gold shades.
