Samsung unveiled a new smartphone in their affordable Galaxy lineup – the M14 5G, which comes in three colours– Icy Silver, Berry Blue and Smoky Teal. I usually have low expectations for entry-level smartphones, but the Galaxy M14 5G exceeded my expectations. The M14 5G delivers a complete smartphone experience, but can it compete with its rivals? Let’s check it out.
Display:
The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G features a 6.6-inch PLS LCD panel with FHD+ resolution, protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The display supports a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate, allowing smooth scrolling between screens. The display is bright, with natural colours and good detail. However, the viewing angles are mediocre, and it doesn’t have HDR certification.
Design:
The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G continues the premium look trend of Samsung smartphones with a teardrop notch and a glossy rear panel finish. The camera module design and the circular ring-like modules for the three rear cameras make it more recognisable as a Samsung device. The phone houses a USB-Type C port, a single speaker, and a 3.5 mm audio jack at the bottom of the phone, while the right side has the SIM tray and power button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor.
Camera:
The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G has a triple camera setup, with a 50MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera performance is impressive for a budget smartphone, with natural-looking images, good detail, and accurate colour reproduction. The macro sensor does a decent job, but the depth sensor could be better. The front-facing camera is a 13MP sensor that takes decent selfies but struggles in low light.
Performance:
The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G is powered by an Exynos 1330 5 nm SoC, making it an unbelievable performance-oriented beast on paper. It’s one of the few smartphones with 5 nm processors under ₹15K. The phone has One UI 4.0 based on Android 13, a clean and minimalistic UI. The phone has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 512GB using a microSD card. The phone is fast and snappy, and it handles day-to-day tasks and multitasking with ease. However, the fingerprint sensor can be quite bothersome, as it doesn’t always read fingerprints accurately.
Battery:
The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G comes with a 6000mAh battery that supports 15W fast charging, lasting a day of moderate use. The phone has a USB Type-C port for charging but doesn’t support wireless charging.
Verdict:
The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G is an affordable smartphone that packs a punch. It has 5G connectivity, a 5 nm processor, a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate, and a triple camera setup, making it an excellent choice for a budget smartphone. The camera output is impressive, and the phone is fast and snappy. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M14 5G is an impressive smartphone that could revolutionise the sub-₹15,000 smartphone market.
Exhibit Magazine: Can you tell us briefly about your background and how you started your journey as a creator?
Rohit Zinjurke: If it wasn’t for content creation, I would still work as a sales executive in a textile shop. Wherever I have worked, I have always been sincere. However, content creation was my calling. I used to do both together until I realised how much potential the digital world has.
Ex: How did you first realise that you were gaining popularity, and what was your initial reaction?
Rohit: When I was at my earlier job as an executive, I had a wholesaler who had come to the shop and immediately recognised me. Also, many customers kept looking at me as if they’d seen me somewhere. That’s when I realised that I was getting there. I was absolutely humbled and knew this was my path.
Ex: How has your life changed since you became a creator, and how have you adapted to your newfound fame and success?
Rohit: More than my life, I feel like I have changed because I am surrounded with so much love that it urges me to be a better person and to make better content every day.
Ex: What do you think sets your content apart from others, and what do you believe contributed to its success?
Rohit: More than my content, I feel like it’s me as a person that my audience relates to.
Ex: Can you tell us about any memorable challenges or obstacles you faced on your journey to success and how you overcame them?
Rohit: There is no one specific challenge because every day, there is something challenging about what we do. Whether it is creating content, editing, or scripting.
Ex: Who are some of your favourite fashion photographers or creators that you look up to?
Rohit: I like Rohan Shrestha and Dabboo Ratnani’s work. For me, a person who is comfortable in their own skin is fashionable. So I can’t name one person as everyone is fashionable in their own way.
Ex: How do you engage with your audience and build a community through your vlog?
Rohit: By keeping it real and raw.
Ex: Can you tell us about any upcoming projects or collaborations you have in the pipeline?
Rohit: Picture ahi baaki hai mere dost. There is so much I have to offer, but I can’t reveal everything just yet. You will have to wait and watch.
Ex: What advice would you give to aspiring vloggers or creators who are just starting out?
Rohit: Respect your craft, and it’s okay if you haven’t figured it all out. Take it as it comes, and have fun with it.
Ex: How are you feeling after crossing 25 million people on Instagram at the age of 22?
Rohit: Imagine receiving love from 25 million amazing souls! I feel absolutely blessed, but my journey has just begun. And this also means that I’ve got the responsibility of entertaining an audience of 25M, so while I am super joyed, I am also working very hard.
Samsung’s Galaxy S series is the top-tier smartphone offering competing with the best smartphone market leaders. Each year, this series has refined its offerings, and this time, it’s the S23 series matching the year of launch numerics. Launch impressions aside, I have been using the Galaxy S23 twins, the S23 and S23+, as my daily drivers for over a month and here are my impressions on living with Samsung’s flagship series.
Premium and sturdy design
This year, Samsung bought the Galaxy S23 Ultra design for the rest of its siblings. It’s a neat design to begin with and a welcome change from the camera island on other phones. The most significant difference between the Galaxy S23 and S23+ is their size and battery life. Everything else remains the same. The S23 has taken a few drops with ease in my usage, and the new Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection is absolutely on point. Polished metal edges are great for holding the phone and inspire confidence, albeit being a literal fingerprint magnet. Overall build has shown little to no signs of heavy use throughout rigorous testing on flights, destinations and work runs.
When it comes to phones, size matters!
A smartphone is something we carry as our tech pokemon. For large-screen lovers, gaming, multimedia and insane battery life make sense on the Galaxy S23+, and many mistakenly believe it to be the Galaxy S23 Ultra thanks to the sheer size. The Galaxy S23, on the other hand, is a moderately sized 6.1-inch phone, and both these phones have slim symmetrical bezels making the design neat from front to back. I preferred the S23 as my primary and the S23+ as my secondary (mostly gaming/multimedia) smartphone, and the experience was nothing but the peak of current-era smartphone performance. With an improved 3900mAh battery on the S23, the battery life coupled with powerful yet efficient hardware is significantly better than the S22.
Display prowess
Samsung is one of the pioneers of display technology. Both these phones get super bright and dim without any noticeable shift in colour saturation, balance or contrast. Under direct sunlight, the Galaxy S23 series shines with maximum brightness and viewing in any condition was never a problem. In fact, these displays could be categorised as top-tier in their price range. HDR content, high-resolution videos, adaptive S-AMOLED goodness and crisp touch response make these displays a charm to use daily. Both these phones get 120Hz adaptive refresh rate displays with peak brightness similar to the Galaxy S23 Ultra at 1750nits!
Performance – Finally, they cured the Achilles’ heel!
Samsung Galaxy S series always had an Achilles heel, the processor. This was addressed in last year’s S22 series, but gen 2 is usually always better than gen 1. The made-for-galaxy Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a game-changer for the Samsung S23 series. Most flagship processors tend to heat, throttle and consume more battery, but the tables have turned this year. The custom-made (read overclocked) Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 finally brings a beautiful balance of performance and efficiency. Couple that with LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 / 4.0 blazing fast memories, and the seamless wireless connectivity of WiFi 6E and BT 5.3 standards; these newer Samsung Galaxy S23 series offer nonstop performance with loudspeakers and impressive displays. Haptic feedback, call quality and mic quality are better than most iPhones and professional mics. Samsung has done wonders with the mic on the S23 series. Add water and dust protection with durable materials and wireless charging with reverse wireless charging capabilities, and the S23 series simply works in every situation.
Vibrant memories
The 50MP OIS primary sensor works wonders in day and night conditions. The 12MP ultra-wide and 10MP 3X telephoto also manage decent colour accuracy similar to the primary sensor. The selfie camera is an autofocus 12MP wide angle, and all the sensors are capable of shooting at 4K, while the main sensor can do 8K 30FPS! The Galaxy S23 series has serious improvements in the end results despite almost equivalent hardware as last year, thanks to the improved SoC. 8K and 4K videos maintain frames throughout with no time limits. Memories are captured on point with great details and Samsung level saturation, pleasing most eyes. The camera performance is so good you could keep your mirrorless camera at home for your next travel.
One UI, many updates
Out of the box, the Galaxy S23 and S23+ run Android 13 based on One UI. There is some bloatware, but the memory management is excellent. Apps run flawlessly in the background, and I was surprised when I paused a game in the evening a day before, used the phone for an entire work day and went back to the game, only to find it paused and managed brilliantly by the S23+. The software is dense and filled with customisations, from colour palettes to unique edge panels that house split-screen apps in an instance, always-on display, and many more. Samsung also includes Galaxy stores for adding more customisations and themes and allows you to change fonts; personalisation is available in plenty. Over just a couple of weeks, my review units got four security and software updates.
Flagship justice
Samsung has improved the Galaxy S23 series to become a mature flagship performer, unlike the S series of the past. Over a month of use, the updates have only improved my experience with these flagship siblings. The improved battery life on the newer series with improved hardware has polished the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23+ experience. Samsung promises four major android updates and five years of security updates. This market has stiff competition, but there is barely a no-compromise smartphone. These are undoubtedly the ones.
We’re in a month that celebrates women’s milestones and their extraordinary roles in all spheres of society. However, women’s history month holds a more profound significance than just the bells and whistles we see on social media through various trends and hashtags. It is not just an opportunity for men to appreciate women but also the society as a whole to address the issues women face on a daily basis and still excel.
Women are indeed achievers, risk-takers, entrepreneurs, and multi-taskers. Over the years, women have made significant progress in breaking down barriers and overcoming obstacles in various fields. They have demonstrated their ability to lead and succeed in areas previously dominated by men. Women have made remarkable progress in various spheres of life over the past few decades, and their contributions to society are becoming increasingly recognized and valued.
Women are also excellent multi-taskers, balancing their work, family, and social lives with great skill and efficiency. They’re known for their ability to handle many responsibilities simultaneously and still achieve their goals. Women have shown that they can excel in various fields and are capable of achieving great things when given the opportunity. Their contributions to society are invaluable, and we should continue to support and empower women to achieve their full potential.
Women Entrepreneurs in India:
India has seen a jump in the number of women entrepreneurs in recent years. Women entrepreneurs are breaking barriers and challenging societal norms to create successful businesses across various industries. They are inspiring other women to take the leap and become entrepreneurs themselves.
However, women entrepreneurs still face significant challenges, such as gender biases, lack of access to capital, and limited networking opportunities. Efforts are being made to create an environment that supports and encourages women entrepreneurs, including mentorship programs, financial incentives, and policy initiatives.
Challenges Faced by Women Entrepreneurs in India:
Missing Role Models: There is a lack of female role models in the business world, which can make it difficult for women to envision themselves as entrepreneurs.
Social Responsibilities: Women entrepreneurs in India often face the dual burden of running a business and fulfilling their social and familial responsibilities.
Industry Restrictions: Certain industries are more male-dominated than others, making it difficult for women to enter and succeed in these sectors.
Education: A lack of access to education and vocational training can hinder women from developing the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful entrepreneurs.
Ways To Help Women Overcome Barriers:
Access to Capital: Providing access to capital through government schemes or private organizations can help women entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses.
Mentorship and Networking: Connecting women entrepreneurs with successful businesswomen can provide them with guidance, advice, and networking opportunities.
Skill Development and Training: Providing education and training programs tailored to the needs of women entrepreneurs can help them develop the necessary skills to succeed in their businesses.
Policy Changes: Changing policies to promote gender equality, such as promoting property ownership for women or offering tax incentives to women-led businesses, can help address some of the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs.
Awareness and Advocacy: Raising awareness about the challenges women entrepreneurs face and advocating for their rights and opportunities can help create a more supportive environment for female entrepreneurship in India.
Women are mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends, but they are also so much more than that. They are innovators, leaders, and change-makers who have made immeasurable contributions to every aspect of society. From the arts to the sciences, from politics to business, women have broken barriers and shattered glass ceilings, proving time and time again that they are just as capable as their male counterparts.

So today, let us celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and determination of women everywhere. Let us honour their sacrifices and continue to make them, and pledge to support and uplift them in every way possible. Because when women are given the freedom and opportunities to succeed, we all benefit. Here is Exhibit’s special women’s edition where we celebrate the backbone of our society – WOMEN!
Samsung’s brainchild Bixby still exists, and we hope you’re aware of it, though it is not as popular as Siri. Bixby is a virtual assistant designed to make life easier for users by performing tasks through voice commands. With the latest update, Samsung has made Bixby available for kids as well, with an aim to make it easier for parents to use their devices without worrying about what their kids might access or see.
Bixby for kids is a child-friendly version of the virtual assistant with features that are appropriate for children. It can perform tasks like setting reminders, playing music and even answering questions in a child-friendly manner. Parents can now have peace of mind knowing that their children are interacting with a safe and appropriate virtual assistant.
Children often use simpler language and phrases, and Bixby for kids can recognise these and respond in a way that makes sense to the child. For example, if a child asks, “what’s the weather like outside?” Bixby for kids will respond with a simple answer that is easy for the child to understand.
Another important feature of Bixby for kids is that it is customisable. Parents can set up Bixby to only respond to certain commands, making it easier for children to use. For example, parents can set up Bixby to only play certain songs or answer specific questions. This way, children can use Bixby without worrying about accidentally accessing inappropriate content.
In addition to its child-friendly features, Bixby for kids also has educational capabilities. It can help children learn new things by answering their questions in a way that is easy for them to understand. Bixby can also provide fun and educational games that children can play to help them learn while having fun.
Overall, Samsung’s decision to make Bixby available for kids is a smart move. With the rise of voice assistants and virtual assistants, it is important to have a child-friendly option that parents can trust. Bixby for kids is an excellent tool for parents who want to give their children access to technology while still being in control of what their children see and hear.
After multiple speculations, leaks and massive hype, the Samsung S23 Series has finally launched globally and in India. Tech giant Samsung held its first ever in-person event in three years in San Francisco titled ‘Unpacked’ where it unveiled its flagship S23 series. This time around the S23 series consists of three smartphones: Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23 Plus, and the standard Galaxy S23. Here is everything you need to know about the Galaxy S23 series launched by Samsung –
Samsung S23 Ultra
Starting off with the ‘Big Daddy’ in the S23 series: The S23 Ultra. The powerful Ultra variant in this latest series comes with a 200MP F1.7 Super Quad Pixel camera. It houses the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 series processor which enhances both the gaming and day-to-day performance with more than 40% faster GPU. The S23 Ultra houses a 6.8-inch QHD display with a 3088×1440 resolution. This Dynamic AMOLED 2X display comes with a 120Hz refresh rate.

It’ll be available in Phantom Black, Green, Cream, and Lavender colour options.
Samsung S23 and S23+
Both the S23 and S23+ are pretty much the same devices except for the size and battery capacities. While the S23+ houses a 4,700mAh battery, the S23 is limited to a 3,900mAh capacity. Whereas, S23 comes with a 6.1-inch FHD+ display and the S23+ sports a bigger 6.6-inch FHD+ display. Both devices come with 2340×1080 resolution with Super Smooth 120Hz resolution. The Plus and standard variant house the same camera modules that include a wide 50MP F1.8 lens coupled with an Ultra-Wide 12MP and 10MP Telephoto (3X) lens. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset rocks both devices for optimum performance. However, the devices are limited to 8GB RAM variants ranging from 128GB to 512GB storage variants. The refreshed camera module puts emphasis on night photos/videos as all three models come equipped with Night Selfie, Night Portraits, and stable Night Video capabilities.
India is a country known for its diverse and delicious cuisine. The cuisine dates back over 5000 years, and over the centuries, it has been influenced by many foreign arrivals, such as Persians, Mongols, British, Portuguese, and Chinese, among others.
In India, people take long routes only to munch on their favourite dishes. Be it the spicy street food of the north to the coastal seafood of the south, no matter what type of cuisine you’re in the mood for, you’re sure to find something to delight your taste buds.
Today, we have many modernised restaurants and cafes throughout the country where you can find various celebrated dishes, but one can not get a touché of heritage at these newbies. To get that feeling of nostalgia and heritage, you must have to get into these eateries in India.
Britannia and co.
Being a Mumbaikar, starting off the heritage list of eateries without Britannia and co. would be a sinful move for me. The city is home to various iconic Irani cafes, and currently, these are the only places in Mumbai where you can have a dose of heritage.
The restaurant was established in 1923 by Boman Kohinoor, and the place where it is located will surely remind you of the old times. When in the city, don’t miss out on having a cup of Irani chai with Bun Maska at the Britannia and co.
Cost for Two: ₹2,000
Address: 16, Ballard Estate, Fort, Mumbai
Recommended Dishes: Berry Pulao, Dhansak, Patra ni Machi, Salli Boti, and Caramel Custard
Tunday Kababi
Every time I had meat with Lucknowis, all they had to say was, “Kabhi Lucknow Aao”, as the city is best known for its kebabs and nawabs. I haven’t got lucky to have a taste of meat in Lucknow, but I can recommend you a great place to have a feast of kebabs.
Established in 1905, Tunday Kababi is an affordable place to have a variety of kebabs that have no match. The founder of the place, Haji Murad Ali fell from the terrace when he was young and lost his left arm; that’s how the eatery got its name, Tunday Kababi.
Cost for Two: ₹400
Address: 168/6, Old Nazirabad Rd, Mohan Market, Lucknow
Recommended Dishes: Mutton Tunday Kebab, and Mutton Biryani
Moti Mahal
Do you like butter chicken or dal makhani? Please move ahead if you don’t! The delicious dishes were invented in the 1950s by Kundan Lal Jaggi, Thakur Dass, and Kundan Lal Gujral, the founders of the world-famous Moti Mahal restaurants.
One day, while experimenting, they added tomato sauce to their chicken curry, and the dish they made that day came into existence as butter chicken. The heritage restaurant has been serving people since 1947 and is one of the favourite places to eat amongst Delhites.
Cost for Two: ₹1200
Address: 3704, Netaji Subhash Marg, Old Dariya Ganj, Daryaganj, New Delhi
Recommended Dishes: Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, Tandoori Chicken, and Keema Naan
Central Tiffin Room / Shri Sagar Restaurant
The first filtered coffee I ever had was from the Ram Ashraya, a simple restaurant located in the serene locality of Matunga, Mumbai. Since then, I’ve drunk down a lot of filtered coffee and was looking for the best version of it, which I had in CTR Shri Sagar, Bangalore.
Y. V. Subramanyam established the iconic restaurant in the 1920s, where they serve authentic South Indian delicacies. The place is heaven for dosa lovers, and one should not leave the city without having a scrumptious breakfast at the CTR Shri Sagar.
Recommended Dishes: Benne Masala Dosa, Kesari Chow Chow Bhath, and Crispy Vadas
Shaikh Brothers Bakery
The capital of Assam, Guwahati, is not only home to the famous Kamakhya Temple, but the city also nests one of the oldest bakeries in India, Shaikh Brothers Bakery. The place was a favourite amongst British officials as well as Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.
The place was established in 1885 by Shaikh Ghulam Ibrahim when he realised the potential of setting up a bakery in Assam when he was on a work tour in Assam. Even after 135+ years, the bakery hasn’t lost its pre-independence charm.
Cost for Two: ₹300
Address: 195, Hem Baruah Rd, Pan Bazaar, Guwahati
Recommended Dishes: Dry Cake, Hot Dog, and Chicken Pastry
Indian Coffee House
Situated on the busy college street of Kolkata, the Indian Coffee House is a place that brings nostalgia and heritage out of you. The place is not popular for its delicious food but known for being a part of our heritage.
The coffee house was established in 1876 and has been a favourite place to hang out and a renowned meeting place (adda) for intellectuals and students, such as Satyajit Ray, Amartya Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, and Aparna Sen.
Cost for Two: ₹300
Address: 15, Bankim Chatterjee St, College Street, Kolkata
Recommended Dishes: Chicken Kabiraji, Hot Coffee, and Mutton Afghani Cutlet
Kesar Da Dhaba
The heritage list of eateries wouldn’t be complete without including a dhaba from the Indian state of Punjab, a place known for its foodies and roadside dhabas. Kesar Da Dhaba is a place where you can have authentic Punjabi food soaked in ghee.
The dhaba was established in 1916, and since then, it has been serving a great variety of Punjabi dishes to us. The dhaba will not provide you with a luxury ambience, but the food you’re going to get here will make a place of its own in your heart.
Cost for Two: ₹500
Address: Chowk Passian, Shastri Market, Near Town Hall, Amritsar
Recommended Dishes: Lacha Paratha, Malai Kofta, Punjabi Chhole, Dal Makhani, and Lassi
The Samsung Unpacked 2023 event is only two weeks away, and today, the company officially announced the 200MP camera that will debut in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The latest 200-megapixel (MP) image sensor, the ISOCELL HP2, the successor to the 200MP HP1, will arrive with improved pixel technology and full-well capacity for stunning mobile images in tomorrow’s premium smartphones.
The ISOCELL HP2 packs 200 million 0.6-micrometer (μm) pixels in a 1/1.3” optical format, a sensor size that is widely used in 108MP main smartphone cameras, which enables consumers to enjoy even higher resolutions in the latest high-end smartphones without larger camera bumps in their devices. Washed-out pictures from brightly lit environments can be significantly reduced with the HP2, thanks to Samsung’s new Dual Vertical Transfer Gate (D-VTG) technology. A voltage transfer gate is placed on the bottom of a photodiode within each pixel to transport electrons from the pixels to the logic layer.
“The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 harnesses Samsung’s high-resolution image sensor technologies and know-how at the cutting edge for epic details. Our leadership comes from innovative pixel technologies that allow our sensors to go beyond the number and size of pixels. We will continue to open new horizons and solidify our presence in the expanding ultra-high-resolution sensor market,” said JoonSeo Yim, executive vice president of the Sensor Business at Samsung Electronics.
With Samsung’s advanced pixel-binning technology, Tetra 2 pixel, the HP2 adds more versatility to the camera as it simulates different pixel sizes to accommodate varying lighting levels. When in low-lit environments, the sensor transforms either into a 1.2μm 50MP or 2.4μm 12.5MP image sensor by binding four to 16 neighbouring pixels. For fuller 8K video, approximately at 33MP, the HP2 switches to 1.2μm 50MP mode to minimise cropping and capture more of the scene.
In low-lit settings, the HP2’s auto-focusing is taken to the next level with Super QPD, which allows the sensor to use all its 200-million pixels for focusing agents. The ample amount of focusing agents are grouped by four adjacent pixels to recognize both horizontal and vertical pattern changes that deliver faster and more accurate auto-focusing. Utilising the rich pattern data along with the sheer number of reference points, the new sensor is capable of fast auto-focusing, even in a dimly lit environment.
After surviving two years of the pandemic and a year with limited visitors (a mix of physical and virtual participation), CES, the world’s biggest tech show, is back in full glory. The annual tech show always brings something unique and futuristic to the table. Let’s not waste time in the intro, which people usually avoid (especially in the article where the context matters the most) and dive straight into the best of CES 2023.
Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra 4K
Since we have accepted the new norm, a webcam has become a thing. At CES 2023, Razer unveiled a webcam, Kiyo Pro Ultra 4K, which offers DSLR-level detail and clarity to the viewer, thanks to Sony 1/1.2 inch Starvis 2 sensor. The newly announced webcam from Razer upgrades your video setup with high resolutions and AI-powered face tracking. The webcam has a physical shutter for privacy and works with nearly any display or monitor.
LG Signature OLED M TV
The world’s first truly wireless TV was announced a few months ago by a US-based brand Displace, and it debuted at CES 2023. However, LG has no different plans, as the brand unveiled the world’s first wireless OLED TV, and with its 97-inch screen, it’s probably the biggest one too. The TV transmits a 120Hz 4K video signal along with multiple audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, and offers exquisite picture quality and a sleek design.
Samsung 49″ Odyssey OLED G9
Samsung launched two Odessey monitors at CES 2023, one with a 57-inch screen and the other with a 49-inch. The Odyssey OLED G9 bumps the panel size to 49 inches while maintaining the 1800R curvature and VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black status. The Odyssey OLED G9’s maximum refresh rate has increased from 175Hz to 240Hz, and it will surely be one of the most loved gaming monitors in the future.
Lighthouse Tech Glasses for Blind People
The arrival of technology plays a massive role in our day-to-day life, mainly in specially-abled people’s lives, as it helps them in major aspects. Lighthouse Tech has come up with an innovation that is not only helpful for mankind but is also something that should have been found a long time ago. They’ve launched glasses that help blind or visually impaired people confidently find their way through a crowd. The glasses sport built-in motion sensors and vibrate when there’s something or someone around you to help the wearer move easily.
Panasonic MZ2000 TV
At CES 2023, Panasonic launched a new lineup of flagship OLED TVs named MZ2000, and the TVs from it will be available in 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch screen sizes. However, as always, the brand hasn’t confirmed the cost of the TVs and when they go on sale. Let’s ask the spokesperson about it. The MZ2000 TV sports a revised Dolby Atmos speaker system with new sound modes, a new heat management system and a new True Game mode.
Steambox – The Self-Heating Lunchbox
Back in the century, we used to consume cold meals right out of the tiffin box, then someone launched an oven, and we started having hot meals. However, one can not carry an oven at all places, especially when you’re on the move or somewhere remote, and this thought prompted Steambox to make a self-heating lunchbox that warms your food on the go. The incredibly good-looking Steambox can be operated through a connected app on iOS and Android. The rechargeable Streambox is made up of a 100% natural bamboo lid with leakproof technology and offers three uses on a single charge to serve you warm food wherever and whenever you want.
Supernova HUENIT – Robotic Arm
Sometimes, after a heck of a day, spreading our arms to get something can be a cumbersome task, and that’s where Supernova, a South Korean startup, thought of creating Huenit, a robotic arm to help people with various household chores and creative tasks. The easy-to-use AI-based multi-functional robotic arm works with Wi-Fi and can be paired with smartphones via Bluetooth. The Huenit robotic arm can rotate 220 degrees, lift up to 0.75 kgs, and do everything from making coffee to 3D printing a prototype.
Pepaminto Mattress Topper
The definition of what we need to have a good sleep has various responses, as the perception of warmth differs for each individual. The German Start-up Variowell developed a topper (mattress) after testing thousands of people and won the CES® 2023 Innovation Award in the digital health category. The mattress is made to provide solid sleep during the night when body temperature, heart rate and blood flow fluctuate the most. It can be operated manually with the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch.
Sony PlayStation VR 2 Headset
Sony has been delivering us hits like Walkman, PlayStation and TVs for decades. At CES 2023, the Japanese electronics giant announced that it would start selling the highly anticipated PlayStation VR 2 headset on February 22. The high-end virtual reality headset will have more features than Meta’s Quest 2. The brand promised at least 30 games at the launch, including Gran Turismo 7 and a spinoff of Horizon.
LG OLED T TV – The Transparent TV
Technology is catching up with us at such a pace that what was once a figment of our imagination is now a reality. LG’s new OLED T TV unveiled during the CES 2023 is proof of this. The ‘T’ is completely transparent in the no-picture mode, much like a glass pane, allowing you to see through it. Apart from offering a great viewing experience, the TV can be used as a digital window. Seems like a good idea for people who want to switch between the real and virtual world!
The Relumino Mode by Samsung
