By expanding the service, Google aims to help more people stay informed and secure in the face of increasing cyber threats.
Dark Web And Its Threats
The dark web is a hidden part of the internet, not indexed by standard search engines and available only through specialized browsers. It is often used by hackers as a marketplace for selling personal data obtained from various attacks on websites, financial institutions, and medical facilities. Indicators that your data may be on the dark web include unsolicited emails, texts, calls, unfamiliar purchases on your credit card, and alerts about unauthorized login attempts or password changes.
How To Protect Yourself If Your Data Is Compromised
If Google’s monitoring service finds your information on the dark web, experts recommend taking several steps to protect yourself. First, freeze any exposed credit cards to prevent unauthorized transactions. Regularly change your passwords and ensure they are strong and unique for different accounts. It’s also wise to review your bank statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity.
Google’s decision to extend dark web monitoring to all users is a significant step towards enhancing online security for everyone. With cyber threats on the rise, having access to tools that monitor and alert you about potential data breaches is crucial. By staying vigilant and taking proactive measures, you can better protect your personal information in this increasingly digital world.

Do not click on links in messages from unknown senders
Report any suspicious messages to the authorities
In today’s age of machine learning and artificial intelligence, con artists have found new ways to exploit technology to deceive unsuspecting victims. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting smartphone users, especially iPhone users, through sophisticated scams. The Indian government’s cyber agency, Cyberdost, has recently issued a warning about a new fraud scheme specifically aimed at iPhone users.
Cyberdost has identified a scam where iPhone users receive messages via iMessage, claiming there is an issue with a package delivery due to an incorrect address. The fraudulent message urges receivers to respond within 24 hours so as to avoid the parcel being returned. This also includes a web link. The scam is designed to create a sense of urgency, prompting users to click on the link without thinking.

Protect Yourself: Essential Tips
To avoid falling victim to this scam, follow these important tips:
Do Not Click on Suspicious Links: If you receive a message from an unknown sender with a link, do not click on it. Instead, verify the legitimacy of the message through other means.
Disable Read Receipts: For messages from unknown senders, disable read receipts to prevent scammers from knowing if you have read their message.
Ignore Urgent Requests: Legitimate companies will not pressure you to respond urgently or threaten to return a package. Be wary of messages that create a sense of urgency.
Protect Your Personal Information: Never share your bank account information, passwords, or send money to unknown individuals.
Reporting Scams
If you receive such messages, report them to the appropriate authorities. By reporting these scams, you can help prevent others from falling victim. Additionally, ensure your iPhone’s security settings are up to date and be cautious of unsolicited messages.

Xiaomi concludied its 10th anniversary in India yesterday. The Chinese OEM showcased a whole range of new consumer tech products at the event. Alongside, the company has also teased its first electric vehicle, i.e., the SU7 EV.

For the tech geeks, stay updated with the latest cutting-edge gadgets in the market, exclusive tech updates, gadget reviews, and EV news right on your phone’s screen. Join Giznext’s WhatsApp channel and receive the industry-first tech and EV updates.
Marking its 10th anniversary celebrations in India, Xiaomi unveiled its first electric sedan, i.e., the SU7 Max in India. The premium e-sedan went up for sales recently in the company’s home country China, with the brand targeting a global launch in the coming years. During the SU7’s showcasing, Xiaomi highlighted the five core EV technologies which it focuses on.
The SU7 integrates an e motor, CTB integrated battery, Xiaomi die-casting, Xiaomi Pilot Autonomous driving, and smart cabin tech. Furthermore, Xiaomi SU7 Max EV featuring ‘ Human x Car x Home’ smart ecosystem is not making its way to the Indian stores. This information comes via multiple sources. Unfortunately, it is not clear if the brand will change its plans in the future and launch the SU7 e-sedan in the country.
The Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan gets a powerful 673 PS motor producing up to 838 Nm of peak torque. The battery capacity isn’t revealed by the brand yet, but the top-model (SU7 Max) offers a range delivery of up to 800 km on a full charge. Furthermore, the SU7 offers a top speed of up to 265 kmph and throttles from 0- 100 kmph in just 2.78 seconds.
Homegrown brand Urban has just added three new members to its Vibe series. They’ve launched three wireless TWS Earbuds: Urban Vibe Clip, Urban Vibe Loop, and Urban Vibe 2. The Vibe series is designed to be ear-friendly, preventing any damage from prolonged use. Urban sent me the Vibe Clip for review, and I’ve been using it for a few days now. Here’s what I think about it and whether it’s worth buying. Let’s dive in.
The moment you get your hands on the Urban Vibe Clip, you’ll notice its impressive build quality. The case itself is a blend of sturdy construction and decent-looking design. On the front, you’ll find the stylish Urban branding, accompanied by a handy light indicator at the bottom. On the back of the case, you’ll find a Type-C connector that ensures fast and efficient charging. The indicator light on the case blinks blue slowly during charging, stays steady blue when the earphones are charging, and turns off when fully charged. However, the case is bulky, and some may not like it.
Open the case, and you’re greeted by the left and right TWS. They’re a striking combination of matte and glass finishes, giving off a premium vibe. If I talk about the design, it’s truly unique, living up to its name “Vibe Clip.” These earbuds clip onto your ears provide a secure fit. They won’t fall out, no matter what you’re doing – be it running, jumping, or just walking around.
The open-ear design comprises two parts: the barrel housing the electronics and the speaker driver unit, connected by a flexible rubber joint. Placing the barrel at the back of your ear and wrapping the rubber part around the side ensures a comfortable fit.
Overall, the Urban Vibe Clip combines aesthetics with functionality. This offers a design that not only looks good but also ensures comfort and secure wearability for all-day use.
When it comes to connectivity, the Urban Vibe Clip doesn’t disappoint. It features the latest Bluetooth 5.4V, ensuring a stable and quick connection with your devices. I connected it with my iPhone and didn’t encounter any trouble at all. The earbuds come equipped with 13mm drivers and I must say that the sound quality was impressive. One of the standout features is Urban’s Air Beam technology, which takes connectivity to the next level.
Additionally, the earbuds offer Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), making them perfect for walks in the park or any noisy environment. I wore the earbuds in a crowded place like a packed metro and in a quiet room, and the audio quality remained consistently top-notch. The inclusion of four microphones along with ENC ensures that your voice is always heard clearly during calls, regardless of the noise level around you.
For gamers, there’s a low-latency mode that provides Panoramic 3D Sound, enhancing your gaming experience. The Smart AI sound amplifier and advanced microphone ensure crystal clear audio during calls and other uses.
Touch sensors on the earbuds allow you to play, pause, and skip tracks effortlessly. The earbuds also support voice assistants, making it easy to control your music and get information on the go.
Overall, I found the Urban Vibe Clip to be a decent and good choice. It offers a range of features that cater to both casual listeners and gamers alike.
Pairing Process
To pair with your device, open the charging case and remove the earphones. They power on automatically. Enable Bluetooth on your device, find the pairing name, and connect. Once paired, they will reconnect automatically for future use.
Powering on/off, pairing, answering calls, rejecting calls, controlling music playback, and accessing voice assistants are all in-built with the Urban Vibe Clip. Game mode and music mode switching is available by pressing the MFB button, and voice assistant activation is simple with a 2-second press.
Long-Lasting Battery Life
One of the most impressive aspects of the Urban Vibe Clip is its battery life. The company claims up to 50 hours of playback time with the power case, and it nearly lived up to the claims. On a single charge, you can enjoy up to 2-3 days of usage even with heavy usage. This means you can go for days without needing to recharge. This makes these earbuds perfect for long trips or busy days when you don’t have time to constantly charge your devices.
The Urban Vibe Clip Open Ear Wireless TWS offer a unique design, decent build quality, and a host of smart features that make them a top choice for anyone looking for high-quality earbuds. However, the regular price of the Urban Vibe Clip is quite high at Rs. 7,999, which might be too expensive for some potential buyers. While it is currently available at an introductory offer price of Rs. 1,999 on its official website, this offer is for a limited time. Once the offer ends, it may not be feasible for everyone to spend such a substantial amount on these earbuds. Nonetheless, for those who can take advantage of the introductory price, the Urban Vibe Clip provides a great blend of aesthetics and functionality.

Microsoft employees in China and Hong Kong must switch from Android to iPhones by September 2024
The switch enhances security using Apple’s Face ID and Microsoft’s apps
Microsoft will provide iPhone 15s and set up collection points for employees
In a significant policy shift, Microsoft has announced that all employees in China will be required to switch from Android smartphones to iPhones by September 2024. This directive was communicated through an internal memo to staff members in both mainland China and Hong Kong, as reported by Bloomberg.
One of the primary reasons for this mandatory change is the absence of the Google Play Store in mainland China. Unlike in Hong Kong, where the Play Store is accessible, mainland Chinese users have depended on app stores operated by domestic brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi. Recently, Microsoft has restricted access to these platforms, necessitating a shift to a more universally accessible solution.
Ensuring Seamless Authentication
To ensure secure and efficient access to work systems, Microsoft is providing employees with iPhone 15 devices. The iOS ecosystem, with its available App Store in China, allows employees to use essential Microsoft applications like the Microsoft Authenticator password manager and the Identity Pass app without issues. These applications, which support Apple’s Face ID for biometric authentication, are crucial for verifying employee identities when logging into work computers or phones.
Dedicated Collection Points
Microsoft is setting up dedicated points within its facilities in China where employees can collect their new iPhones. This systematic approach is aimed at making the transition as smooth as possible for all staff members, ensuring they have the necessary tools to continue their work without interruption.
Heightened Cybersecurity Concerns
This directive comes in the wake of increasing cybersecurity threats faced by Microsoft. Earlier this year, the company disclosed a cyberattack by the Russian state-sponsored hacking group, Midnight Blizzard, which targeted several U.S. government agencies. This attack, characterized as a targeted reconnaissance mission, underscored the need for enhanced security measures. By transitioning to iPhones, Microsoft aims to bolster its cybersecurity defenses, leveraging the robust security features of Apple’s devices.
The decision to switch to iPhones reflects a strategic move by Microsoft to ensure consistent and secure access to its services in a complex geopolitical landscape. While it addresses immediate security and accessibility concerns, this shift also underscores the broader challenges tech companies face in navigating international markets with varying regulatory and operational environments.
Ready to meet the latest game-changer in the premium segment? Realme, a brand you probably know for its budget-friendly marvels, is now stepping up its game with the Realme GT 6. Starting at Rs. 35,999, this beast packs the brand-new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, a 5,500mAh battery, and lightning-fast charging. Plus, it’s got some cool AI features to boot. But will this live up to the hype? I am here going to explore what makes the Realme GT 6 a top contender in the world of high-end smartphones.
In terms of aesthetics and ergonomics, the Realme GT 6 nails it. For a larger phone, it’s surprisingly comfortable to hold and use.
On the back, the smartphone flaunts a sleek, horizontal, mirror-like rectangular frame for its cameras. And mind it, this shiny frame is a magnet for fingerprints, smudges, and dust. The rest of the back cover is made from sturdy plastic. The camera placement on one side causes the phone to wobble when laid on its back without the included TPU cover.
The front of the phone is just as impressive with its curved glass and minimal bezels, making the display a visual treat. On the right side of the frame, you’ll find the volume and power buttons, which are smooth to operate and easily accessible. The bottom features a USB Type-C port, a dual SIM tray, and a speaker grille, all neatly arranged. Overall, Realme has designed a phone that looks and feels premium, despite a few minor design quirks.
Display
The Realme GT 6 offers a 6.78-inch AMOLED display. This screen isn’t just big, it’s brilliant. It has 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. But the showstopper here is its 6,000 nits peak brightness. While finding content that fully utilizes this might be tricky, the phone’s 1,600 nits high brightness mode ensures you won’t have any issues, even under the brightest sunlight. Features like ‘Bright HDR video mode’ and ‘Extra brightness’ make brightness anxiety a thing of the past.
The display is sharp, vivid, and perfect for media consumption. Whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or just scrolling through social media, the Realme GT 6 delivers a great visual experience. You can choose from Vivid, Natural, and Pro screen color modes, and the Nature Tone Display feature adjusts the screen based on ambient lighting.
The multimedia experience is further enhanced by the great sounding stereo speakers. With HDR10 support, streaming your favorite shows on Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video is a treat. The display settings offer options like Video Color Boost. This enhances colors in select apps and an Image Sharpener to ensure everything looks crisp and clear. In short, the Realme GT 6’s display is a powerhouse that brings your content to life in a vibrant and immersive way.
The Realme GT 6 stands tall as one of the few smartphones in India equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. And let me tell you, the performance is nothing short of stellar. From heavy multitasking to graphic-intensive gaming, this phone breezes through everything I threw at it. No hiccups, no lag, just smooth sailing.
You get 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage on board. Even with default apps running in the background, around 9GB of RAM remains free. The Dynamic RAM Expansion feature boosts this further by using built-in storage as additional RAM, offering up to 12GB of extra space when needed.
For gamers, the Realme GT 6 is a beast in its own league. I tested it with top-tier games like BGMI and Call of Duty, and the performance was flawless. Its Iceberg Vapor Cooling System and 120 fps support keeps the gameplay smooth and the device cool, even during intense gaming sessions.
Running on Realme UI 4.0, based on Android 14, the user experience is polished and intuitive. Next AI features like AI Smart Removal and AI Smart Loop enhance productivity by automating tasks like photo editing and content sharing.
Benchmark Performance
The Realme GT 6 is one of the first handsets equipped with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered to enter our workspace. And we couldn’t wait to put it through its paces. We tested this unit with 3D Mark and Geekbench 6 platforms and got promising results in both the tests.
Starting with the Wild Life Stress test, it scored 11,474 in Best Loop score, while in the lowest loop test it logged 6,242 points. Overall, it achieved 54.4 percent stability in this test with the temperature shooting up from 34 to 44 degrees (not much when considering extensive usage), thanks to the cooling solution.
Talking about its Geekbench results, the Realme GT 6 smartphone didn’t disappoint. It recorded a single-core benchmark score of 2,001 and a multi-core benchmark score of 5,170. These numbers highlight the phone’s ability to handle everything from everyday tasks to intensive workloads with ease. Overall, the handset fared well in the benchmark tests establishing itself as a potent performer.
Camera
The camera system on the Realme GT 6 is nothing short of impressive. Equipped with a main 50MP Sony LYT-808 sensor, this phone captures great photos with good detail and vibrant colors. The 50MP telephoto lens adds versatility, delivering high-quality zoom shots, while the selfie camera features a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor for sharp and clear selfies.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the primary camera. It captures images with accurate colors and plenty of detail, especially in well-lit conditions. Even when you zoom in, the images seems to be clear. In low-light scenarios, the primary camera still performs admirably, capturing good photos in default mode and even brighter images when you switch to the dedicated Night mode.
Dynamic range handling is impressive, and the colors are spot on. The ultra-wide lens performs well, though its performance dips in low light. The telephoto lens is great for portraits but produces average-quality images in low light. The 32MP front-facing camera delivers sharp selfies with a nice background blur, although stabilization could be improved.
The ultra-wide-angle camera is handy for capturing larger subjects that aren’t too far away. This offers images with lower resolution and slightly darker tones compared to the primary camera. But without noticeable warping around the edges. In low-light conditions, the ultra-wide lens struggles, so I often found myself relying on the primary camera.
For subjects that are far away, the telephoto camera on the Realme GT 6 captures sharp images at 2x optical zoom, with an additional 4x zoom option. However, the colors in telephoto shots are slightly less vivid than those from the primary camera.
AI features like the HyperTone Image Engine and AI Smart Removal elevate the camera experience, making it easy to capture and edit good photos.
The front camera is perfect for selfies and video calls, offering decent quality and acceptable background blur. The Realme GT 6 can record videos in 4K, 1080p, and 720p at both 30fps and 60fps. The video quality is good for everyday use, although it struggles a bit in low-light conditions.
Battery
What good is a good phone if it can’t keep up with you, right? The Realme GT 6 comes packed with a robust 5,500mAh battery that’s ready to power through your day. With heavy use, think binge-watching, gaming, and non-stop scrolling, this smartphone easily lasts a full day. But if you’re more of a typical user, you’re looking at up to two days on a single charge. I managed to squeeze out close to eight hours of screen-on time even with heavy usage. Impressive.
The Realme GT 6 supports 120W SuperVOOC fast charging, which is like having a superpower. You can juice up to 50 percent in just about 10 minutes. And a full charge? Less than half an hour. Whether you’re running out the door or just forgot to charge overnight, this phone’s got your back.
There’s more. The GT 6 comes with smart charging features too. You can stop charging at 80 percent to extend battery life. Also, you can use smart rapid charging to speed things up when the battery’s running critically low.
The Realme GT 6 is here to play in the big leagues. With a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 engine, a vibrant 6.78-inch AMOLED display, and a battery that keeps up with your binge-watching marathons, this phone is a powerhouse. Price starts at Rs. 35,999, it’s packed with cool AI features and lightning-fast charging. Sure, it has a few quirks, but it’s a premium thrill ride you won’t want to miss.
