The vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo, launched on April 28, 2025, is the latest addition to vivo's mid-range lineup. Packed with impressive features, this device aims to deliver top-tier performance without breaking the bank. Let's look at the camera, processor, display, battery, gaming performance, and pricing of the iQOO Z10 Turbo in Bangladesh. key Features of vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo . Design and Build Quality The vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo showcases a modern design with a glass front and a plastic back, housed within a sturdy plastic frame. With dimensions of 163.7 x 75.9 x 8.1 mm and weighing 212g, it has a solid feel in hand, exuding a balance between durability and elegance. This phone is available in four colour options: black, white, orange, and gold. It supports IP65 certification, making it resistant to dust and water jets—something that sets it apart from the iQOO Z9 Turbo's slightly inferior IP64 rating.  Compared to the vivo T4, which is MIL-STD-810H compliant, the Z10 Turbo does not aim for rugged use but still promises decent protection in everyday conditions. Honor Power, although having a sleek and compact form factor, only offers manufacturer-rated water resistance (up to 50cm for 1 min), making the Z10 Turbo a more reliable option for durability under various environmental conditions.

Thanks to its 1260 by 2800 resolution and ~453 PPI pixel density, the display delivers exceptionally sharp and clear visuals. It supports 1B colours, HDR, and a blazing 144Hz refresh rate, offering smooth transitions and vibrant visuals.  What is truly impressive is the iQOO Z10 Turbo’s 4400 nits peak brightness—just a notch below the Z9 Turbo’s remarkable 4500 nits and well behind the T4’s class-leading 5000 nits peak under specific HDR conditions. Honor Power’s 4000 nits peak display is solid, but it still does not outshine the competition. Combined with an always-on display and AMOLED technology, the Z10 Turbo offers deep blacks, vibrant colours, and an excellent viewing experience in daily use and multimedia playback.  Camera Performance The iQOO Z10 Turbo’s camera setup includes a dual system with a 50 MP primary sensor (f/1.8, 1/1.95", PDAF, OIS) and a 2 MP (f/2.4) depth sensor with HDR and panorama. This setup excels at producing sharp and colour-accurate photos, especially in daylight. Thanks to OIS and gyro-EIS, video stability is excellent, supporting 4K recording on the main (rear) sensor that maintains crisp detail.  Read more: OnePlus Nord 5: What We Know So Far In comparison, the iQOO Z9 Turbo sports a similar primary sensor but adds an 8 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera with HDR and panorama, providing more versatility, especially for landscape and group shots. The T4 mirrors the Z10 Turbo’s rear camera setup, while its 32MP selfie shooter with 4K video shooting capacity outperforms the Z10 Turbo’s 16MP (f/2.5) front sensor that can shoot a maximum of 1080p footage.  Honor Power also features a 50MP camera, but with a slightly larger sensor (1.56") and a 5MP ultrawide lens, offering slightly more flexibility. However, Z10 Turbo pulls ahead with a superior colour spectrum sensor and faster processing for better low-light performance.  Processor Performance  At the core of the Z10 Turbo lies the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset, a 4nm octa-core processor that combines Cortex-A725 cores at up to 3.25 GHz and a G720 MC7 GPU. This architecture delivers fast, efficient performance suitable for power users. Benchmarks and real-world testing reveal that it rivals the Qualcomm SM8635 Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the iQOO Z9 Turbo, which is also built on a 4nm process but boasts a slightly higher-performing CPU/GPU combination (Cortex-X4 and Adreno 735).  Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in May 2025 However, the Z10 Turbo holds its ground well, especially in sustained tasks. Compared to the Qualcomm SM7635 Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 in the vivo T4 and the Qualcomm SM7550-AB Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in Honor Power, the Dimensity 8400 easily outclasses both in multitasking, app launches, and raw processing power, making the Z10 Turbo an all-rounder in performance. Gaming Performance Gaming on the Z10 Turbo is smooth and responsive, powered by the Dimensity 8400 chipset and Mali-G720 MC7 GPU. Heavy games like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty: Mobile run smoothly on high settings, with minimal frame drops. The 144Hz display complements this feature by providing fluid gameplay.  Compared to the iQOO Z9 Turbo, which uses the more gaming-optimised Adreno 735 GPU, the experience is neck and neck, though the Z9 Turbo might have a slight advantage in ultra-high-end gaming. The vivo T4, limited by its Adreno 710 GPU (940 MHz) and lower peak brightness, lags behind in delivering consistent gaming performance.  Read more: vivo V50 Lite Review: Does it offer value-for-money Honor Power fares decently with the Adreno 720 GPU but lacks the refresh rate and processing fluidity offered by the Z10 Turbo. Thermal management on the Z10 Turbo is also commendable, with the phone staying cool during extended sessions. Battery Life  With its large 7620mAh Si/C Li-Ion battery, the Z10 Turbo offers excellent battery life that easily lasts beyond a full day for most users. It supports 90W fast charging, which powers the device to 100% in just 55 minutes, plus reverse wired charging support. This large battery capacity is a standout feature in its price range. In comparison, the iQOO Z9 Turbo features a 6000 mAh cell with 80W charging and 7.5W reverse charging, which is fast but can not match the endurance of the Z10 Turbo. The vivo T4 has a 7300mAh (50% in 33 minutes) battery with similar charging capabilities (90W), 55W PPS, 44W UFCS, 7.5W reverse wired charging, and bypass charging. But despite having a huge battery, the T4’s real-world battery life is marginally shorter due to its less efficient processor.  Read more: Tecno Camon 40 Pro Review: Is It Worth It? Honor Power wins on sheer capacity with its 8000mAh battery but only offers 66W wired and 5W reverse wired charging, resulting in longer top-up times. Overall, the Z10 Turbo strikes an excellent balance between capacity and charging speed. Software and User Interface Running on Android 15 with OriginOS 5, the Z10 Turbo offers a fluid, customisable, and feature-rich experience. OriginOS brings several enhancements, including smoother animations, better widget functionality, and smarter battery management. It is notably snappier and more intuitive than Android 14 OriginOS 4 found on the Z9 Turbo.  Compared to vivo T4’s Android 15 Funtouch 15, OriginOS feels more refined and less bloated, though both offer two major Android upgrades. Honor Power’s Android 15 MagicOS 9, although clean and smooth, does not match the level of optimisation and customisation flexibility provided by vivo’s software skin. Features like Always-On Display, Circle to Search, and performance tweaks make the Z10 Turbo a joy to use daily.

Storage Options The Z10 Turbo comes in multiple configurations: 256GB/12GB RAM, 256GB/16GB RAM, 512GB/12GB RAM, and 512GB/16GB RAM. All variants use the blazing-fast UFS 4.1 standard, which ensures quicker app loading times, faster file transfers, and improved multitasking. This feature gives it a considerable edge over the iQOO Z9 Turbo’s UFS 4.0 storage, which, while fast, does not quite match the latest iteration. However, provision of a 1TB storage option could make the Z10 Turbo a better deal. The vivo T4, with UFS 2.2 (128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, and 256GB 12GB RAM) storage, clearly lags behind in speed and efficiency, making it less ideal for power users. Honor Power also misses out here, with no confirmed UFS 4.1 support, although its configurations are decent for the price. Lack of a microSD slot may be a downside for some, but with such generous internal storage, most users will not feel the pinch.  Pros and Cons of vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo . Pros  - Large 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate- Powerful Dimensity 8400 chipset- Comes with 12GB or 16GB RAM options- Stereo speakers for better sound quality- NFC and Infrared port included- In-display optical fingerprint sensor- Massive 7620 mAh battery- 90W fast charging support- Gyro-EIS, OIS support.

The Trump administration has fired the nation’s top copyright official, Shira Perlmutter, days after abruptly terminating the head of the Library of Congress, which oversees the U.S. Copyright Office. The office said in a statement Sunday that Perlmutter received an email from the White House a day earlier with the notification that “your position as the Register of Copyrights and Director at the U.S. Copyright Office is terminated effective immediately.” On Thursday, President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, the first woman and the first African American to be librarian of Congress, as part of the administration’s ongoing purge of government officials perceived to oppose the president and his agenda. Hayden named Perlmutter to lead the Copyright Office in October 2020. Perlmutter’s office recently released a report examining whether artificial intelligence companies can use copyrighted materials to “train” their AI systems and then compete in the same market as the human-made works they were trained on. The report, the third part of a lengthy AI study, follows a review that Perlmutter began in 2023 with opinions from thousands of people including AI developers, actors and country singers. In January, the office clarified its approach as one based on the “centrality of human creativity” in authoring a work that warrants copyright protections. The office receives about half a million copyright applications per year covering millions of creative works. Woman seeks divorce after ChatGPT interprets coffee grounds, suggests husband’s affair “Where that creativity is expressed through the use of AI systems, it continues to enjoy protection,” Perlmutter said in January. “Extending protection to material whose expressive elements are determined by a machine ... would undermine rather than further the constitutional goals of copyright.” The White House didn’t return a message seeking comment Sunday. Democrats were quick to blast Perlmutter’s firing. “Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis,” said Rep. Joe Morelle of New York, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee. Perlmutter, who holds a law degree, was previously a policy director at the Patent and Trademark Office and worked on copyright and other areas of intellectual property. She also previously worked at the Copyright Office in the late 1990s. She did not return messages left Sunday.    

A Greek woman has filed for divorce, claiming that ChatGPT revealed her husband's alleged affair through an AI-driven interpretation of coffee cup patterns. According to Greek City Times, the woman turned to the AI chatbot for a modern spin on tasseography, the traditional art of interpreting coffee grounds to foresee the future. Married for over 12 years and mother to two children, she reportedly submitted images of coffee residue from both her and her husband's cups, asking ChatGPT to read them. The AI's interpretation left her stunned: it allegedly pointed to her husband being romantically involved with a younger woman determined to split their family. It even suggested that his “destined partner” had a name beginning with the letter "E," while her own reading indicated betrayal and household turmoil. Her husband, speaking to a local TV channel, dismissed the claim as baseless and said, “I laughed it off as nonsense. But she took it seriously. She asked me to leave, told our kids we were getting divorced, and then I got a call from a lawyer. That's when I realised this wasn't just a phase.” Refusing any attempt at mutual separation, the woman served formal divorce papers within three days. The man also claimed his wife has a history of embracing mystical beliefs, recalling a prior incident where she followed an astrologer’s guidance for nearly a year. His lawyer emphasized that AI interpretations hold no legal weight. “He is innocent until proven otherwise,” the lawyer said. While the unusual case has sparked widespread discussion across Greek social media, legal professionals have reiterated that AI-generated predictions cannot be used as evidence in court.

Candy Crush Saga players navigating the game’s more than 18,700 levels may not realize that artificial intelligence is quietly helping shape their puzzle-solving experience. The wildly popular mobile game, developed by Swedish studio King, uses AI tools to assist in designing and tweaking levels to keep players engaged — whether they’re first-timers or seasoned veterans looking for fresh challenges. Developers also rely on AI to revise older levels, helping to prevent users from getting stuck or losing interest. According to Todd Green, general manager of the Candy Crush franchise, AI helps relieve some of the burden on developers. “It would be extremely difficult,” he said, to update and manage so many levels manually. With AI doing an initial pass, designers are free to focus on building new puzzle boards. In the broader gaming world, the role of AI in development is still being debated. Some see it as a way to streamline repetitive tasks and enhance games with smarter non-player characters. Others view it as a potential job threat — a concern serious enough that game performers with the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists went on strike last July over AI-related issues. “We’re not putting chatbots into the game. We’re not putting AI-powered design experiences into the game for players directly to play with,” Green clarified. “Instead, we’re trying to deploy AI on existing problems that we have in order to make the work of the teams faster or more accurate, and more accurate more quickly.” Data from the Entertainment Software Association shows that U.S. consumer spending on video game content rose to $51.3 billion in 2024, up from $49.8 billion the year before. Mobile games, including Candy Crush, make up about half of that figure and are now the top gaming choice for players aged 8 and up. Candy Crush, which debuted on Facebook in 2012, has undergone constant evolution. King has now released 300 different client versions of the game. Activision Blizzard acquired King in 2016 for $5.9 billion. Joost Van Dreunen, author of One Up: Creativity, Competition, and the Global Business of Video Games, said the game’s longevity and massive user base create a constant demand for new content. In that context, using AI makes sense. “To supply that at scale, you absolutely can rely on a sort of artificial intelligence or generative AI to create the next set of forms,” he said. “The thing about Candy Crush is that every level is technically a single board that you have to solve or clear before you can advance. With AI and the existing library of human-made boards, it makes total sense to then accelerate and expand the efforts to just create more inventory. People play more levels.” King applies AI in two primary ways: to generate new puzzles and to revisit and revise older ones — even levels released years ago — to ensure they remain enjoyable. For high-level players, the aim is to make new puzzles engaging right from the start. “That’s hard for us to do, because we don’t get the benefit of having many players test or play through the levels and give us feedback. We have to sort of try and pitch it right at first,” Green explained. He said it’s also crucial to cater to returning players who may have taken a break and are curious about what’s new. Instead of directly introducing AI-generated content into the game, King uses the technology behind the scenes, helping improve level design more efficiently. “Doing that for 1,000 levels all at once is very difficult by hand,” Green said. “So the most important thing to understand here is that we are using AI as like a custom design.” Green noted that level difficulty is intentionally varied to keep players engaged — easier puzzles may follow more difficult ones and vice versa. With AI, the team can now potentially enhance thousands of levels each week instead of just hundreds, by automating the early stages of redesign. “We talk to players all the time,” Green said. “We also get the quantitative feedback. We can see how players respond to the levels... How easy are the levels? Do they get sort of stuck, or are they progressing in the way that we hope?” To evaluate how players are interacting with levels, King tracks metrics such as pass rate — how often a level is beaten within 100 tries — and how frequently a level is “reshuffled,” meaning all the candies are rearranged. However, some elements are harder to quantify. “It’s also, to some extent, obviously subjective,” Green said. “It’s different for different people.”

Google has agreed to pay $1.4 billion to the state of Texas to resolve allegations that it collected users’ personal data without proper consent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Friday. Paxton said the settlement sends a strong warning to tech giants that profiting from the misuse of personal data will not be tolerated. “Big Tech is not above the law in Texas,” he stated. “For years, Google secretly monitored users' locations, search histories, and even captured biometric data like voiceprints and facial geometry. We fought back—and we won.” The lawsuit, originally filed in 2022, accused Google of violating user privacy by tracking their geolocation, collecting data during "incognito" browsing, and harvesting biometric identifiers through services like Google Photos and Google Assistant. Google invests in nuclear power with Elementl Power to fuel AI energy needs Google spokesperson José Castañeda responded by saying the settlement addresses “long-standing issues” and noted that many of the relevant product policies have already been updated. He added that the agreement doesn’t require any further changes to Google’s products and that the company remains committed to improving its privacy controls. According to Paxton, this is the largest state-level settlement ever reached with Google over privacy violations involving user data. The state has reached previous settlements with Google, including a $700 million agreement in December 2023 tied to antitrust allegations surrounding the company’s Android app store. Texas also recently finalized a separate $1.4 billion privacy settlement with Meta over similar claims involving unauthorized use of biometric data.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and executives from Microsoft and chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices testified on Capitol Hill about the biggest opportunities, risks and needs facing an industry which lawmakers and technologists agree could fundamentally transform global business, culture and geopolitics. The hearing comes as the race to control the future of artificial intelligence is heating up between companies and countries. Altman's OpenAI is in a furious race to develop the best artificial intelligence model against tech rivals like Alphabet and Meta, as well as against those developed by Chinese competitors. “I believe this will be at least as big as the internet, maybe bigger,” Altman said in his opening remarks about AI’s potential to transform society. “For that to happen, investment in infrastructure is critical.” Altman urged senators to help usher in the “dual revolutions” of artificial intelligence and energy production that “will change the world we live in, I think, in incredibly positive ways.” The witnesses included Altman; Lisa Su, chief executive of semiconductor maker AMD; Michael Intrator, co-founder of AI cloud computing startup CoreWeave; and Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft. The four executives unanimously urged lawmakers to help streamline policy for AI-related projects and fundraising. The hearing spanned topics ranging from industry debates over chip performance, jobs, human relationships and power generation to grander questions about the global competition with China and the European Union. “China aims to lead the world in AI by 2030,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, chair of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. “In this race, the United States is facing a fork in the road. Do we go down the path that embraces our history of entrepreneurial freedom and technological innovation? Or do we adopt the command and control policies of Europe?” Senators were broadly sober in their questioning and united in their concern that the U.S. maintain its dominance in artificial intelligence. Lawmakers from both parties also raised concerns over cybersecurity, data privacy and AI's ability to create content that could confuse or mislead people. Some partisan fighting did arise. Sen. Bernie Moreno, an Ohio Republican, pressed Su and Smith on whether the Biden administration’s sustainable energy policies hindered the goal of producing more power for AI-related infrastructure. And Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, criticized cuts by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk to federal funding for research and to agencies like the Energy Department’s national laboratories and National Science Foundation, painting them as “a self sabotaging attack.” “Does anyone truly have confidence that had DOGE been around decades ago, they would not have cut the project that created the internet as an example of wasteful, publicly funded research and development?” asked Duckworth. Google invests in nuclear power with Elementl Power to fuel AI energy needs But despite some barbs, the hearing maintained a low-key tenor and some bipartisan joking as lawmakers and executives discussed the potential of a technology all present agreed would determine humanity's future. “Look, there is a race, but we need to understand what we’re racing for,” Sen. Brian Schatz, a Hawaii Democrat, told the witnesses. “It’s not just a sort of commercial race, so we can edge out our nearest competitor in the public sector or the private sector. We’re trying to win a race so that American values prevail.” Trade policy and AI Several of the executives warned against U.S. export controls that could end up pushing other countries toward China’s AI technology. “We totally understand as an industry the importance of national security,” Su said. But she added, if not able to “have our technology adopted in the rest of the world, there will be other technologies that will come to play.” Those technologies are less advanced today but will mature over time, she said. Altman drew a direct connection between the ability of the U.S. to attract global talent and sell its products globally to national security and its international influence. “The leverage and the power the U.S. gets from having iPhones be the mobile device people most want, and Google being the search engine that people most want around the world is huge,” Altman said. “We talk maybe less about how much people want to use chips and other infrastructure developed here, but I think it’s no less important, and we should aim to have the entire U.S. stack be adopted by as much of the world as possible.” Trade rivalry between the U.S. and China has been weighing heavily on the AI industry, including California-based chipmakers Nvidia and AMD. The Trump administration announced in April that it would restrict sales of Nvidia’s H20 chips and AMD’s MI308 chips to China. Nvidia has said the tighter export controls will cost the company an extra $5.5 billion. AMD said after reporting its quarterly earnings this week that it will cost the firm $1.5 billion in lost revenue over the coming months. Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: Know the Pros and Cons Still uncertain are additional AI chip controls set by former President Joe Biden’s administration that are set to take effect next week targeting more than 100 countries, including a number of U.S. allies. The policy drew strong opposition from Nvidia and other tech companies, while it was supported by others, including AI company Anthropic, as a way to prevent China’s “sophisticated smuggling operations” to obtain chips from shell companies in third countries. The Commerce Department said in an email Thursday that Trump plans to replace Biden’s “overly complex, overly bureaucratic” rule with a simpler one but didn’t say when. AI data center expansion and state competition The day before the hearing, Altman visited the Abilene, Texas, site of the massive Stargate data center project being built for OpenAI in collaboration with Oracle and other partners. The site was chosen for its potential access to a variety of energy resources, including wind and solar power. Altman, during the hearing, said that Texas had been “unbelievable" in incentivizing major AI projects. “I think that would be a good thing for other states to study,” Altman said. He predicted that the Abilene site would be the “largest AI training facility in the world.” But Altman also later cautioned against a patchwork regulatory framework for AI. “It is very difficult to imagine us figuring out how to comply with 50 different sets of regulations,” said Altman. “One federal framework that is light touch, that we can understand, and it lets us move with the speed that this moment calls for, seems important and fine.” While the tech industry has long relied on data centers to run online services, from email and social media to financial transactions, new AI technology behind popular chatbots and generative AI tools requires even more powerful computation to build and operate. A report released by the Department of Energy late last year estimated that the electricity needed for data centers in the U.S. tripled over the past decade and is projected to double or triple again by 2028 when it could consume up to 12% of the nation’s electricity.

Tech giant Google has teamed up with Elementl Power to develop three advanced nuclear energy sites, as the demand for electricity driven by artificial intelligence continues to surge. Announced on Wednesday, the collaboration will see Google invest in projects expected to generate 600 megawatts of power each, AP reports. Although the total investment amount was not disclosed, the partnership underscores the growing role of nuclear energy in supporting AI-driven infrastructure. “Our collaboration with Elementl Power enhances our ability to move at the speed required to meet this moment of AI and American innovation,” said Amanda Peterson Corio, Google’s head of data centre energy. The two companies plan to work closely with utility providers and regulated power firms to identify and develop additional nuclear energy projects. “We look forward to working with Google to execute these projects and bring safe, carbon-free, baseload electricity to the grid,” said Chris Colbert, Chairman and CEO of Elementl Power. US expands attempt to blow up Google with proposed teardown of its ad technology As AI technology evolves and expands, so too does its appetite for power, prompting states across the US to position themselves as energy hubs for the tech industry. Policymakers are increasingly backing nuclear energy initiatives, offering incentives and easing regulations to attract investment. In 2023, 25 US states passed laws promoting advanced nuclear power, while more than 200 pro-nuclear bills have been introduced in state legislatures this year, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute. Amid growing interest in carbon-free, reliable electricity, tech companies are investing in next-generation nuclear technologies. Amazon revealed in October that it would support small modular reactors, just days after a similar announcement from Google. In another notable development, Constellation Energy — owner of the defunct Three Mile Island nuclear facility — said in September that it aimed to restart the plant to supply electricity to Microsoft’s data centres. The site, located near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was the scene of the United States' most serious nuclear accident in 1979. In addition to nuclear, Amazon, Google and Microsoft have been actively funding wind and solar energy projects to diversify their low-emission power sources. Elementl Power was established in 2022.

The U.S. Justice Department is doubling down on its attempt to break up Google by asking a federal judge to force the company to part with some of the technology powering the company's digital ad network. The proposed dismantling coincides with an ongoing federal effort to separate Google's Chrome browser from its dominant search engine. The government's latest proposal was filed late Monday in a Virginia federal court two-and-half weeks after a federal judge ruled that its lucrative digital ad network has been improperly abusing its market power to stifle competition to the detriment of online publishers. In a 17-page filing, Justice Department lawyers argued that U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema should punish Google by ordering the company to offload its AdX business and DFP ad platform, tools that bring together advertisers, who want to market their products, and publishers, who want to sell commercial space on their sites, to bring in revenue. The government also is seeking other restrictions, including a 10-year ban on Google from operating a digital ad exchange, to undercut the power of a “recidivist monopolist.” Not surprisingly, it's an idea that Google vehemently plans to oppose when the penalty phase of the antitrust case —known as remedy hearings — begins in late September. Google already has vowed to appeal Brinkema's ruling that the technology powering the ad network has been breaking the law, but can't do that until the judge rules on its punishment in a decision expected late this year or early next year. ‘AI will replace your job, including mine’, warns Fiverr CEO The Justice Department's proposal “would cause economic chaos and technological dysfunction resulting in harm to millions of advertisers and publishers, and in so doing, degrade the experience of internet users,” Google said in a court filing late Monday. In its counterproposal, Google outlined a plan that it believes will bring more transparency to its ad network and eventually foster more competition. Google proposed the appointment of a trustee to oversee its behavior for three years. The attempt to tear down Google's ad network comes on top of the Justice Department's ongoing effort to have the company part with its popular Chrome browser and impose other restrictions to curtail the power of its ubiquitous search engine, which another federal judge branded an illegal monopoly in a ruling last August. The remedy hearings in the search case are scheduled to conclude later this month, with a ruling from U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta expected by Labor Day. If the Justice Department is able to persuade the two different judges to order its proposed dismantling of Google, it would be the biggest breakup of a U.S. company since AT&T was forced to spin off its phone service into seven separate regional companies more than 40 years ago. Google's Play Store for apps running on its Android software that powers most of the world's smartphones also was declared an illegal monopoly by a federal jury in 2023 and is battling a judge's order that would require it to overhaul a commission system that generates billions of dollars in annual revenue. But hobbling its search engine and digital ad network would be far bigger blows because they are the key cogs in a business that generated $265 billion in revenue last year. Google is confronting the breakup threats at the same time the advent of artificial intelligence is changing the way consumers are using technology and seeking information online — a shift that could also siphon traffic and money away from a powerhouse that began in a Silicon Valley garage in 1998. OpenAI reverses course and says its nonprofit will continue to control its business Despite the adversity, Google is still delivering robust financial growth to its corporate parent Alphabet Inc., which is currently valued at $2 trillion. Alphabet's share dipped by less than 1% Tuesday to close at $163.20.

Motorola launched its latest lower mid-ranger, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, in India on April 30, 2025. Moved by Motorola’s effort to bring remarkable phones to every budget segment, smartphone lovers are curious about what the new phone brings and how it plays against strong competitors like the Oppo F29 Pro, Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, and realme 14 Pro Plus. Let's take a look at the key features, performance, pros, cons, and pricing of the Motorola Edge 60 Pro in Bangladesh. Key Features and Specs of Motorola Edge 60 Pro . Design The Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s design combines a curved display, a softly textured back panel, a slim and light body, and dashing colours. The result is a stunning phone that looks unique yet doesn’t fall apart from Motorola’s signature style.  The phone’s body measures 6.33 inches by 2.88 inches by 0.32 inches. Given this measurement, what seems like a flagship-sized phone weighs only 186g. Motorola has kept the design minimal, lightweight, and easy to grip by using a plastic frame and a clean, mildly textured rear panel.  Read more: OnePlus Nord 5: What We Know So Far The phone comes in three colour choices— Shadow, Dazzling Blue, and Sparkling Grape. The Shadow variant has a vegan leather finish, while the other two have nylon-esque textures. Integration of IP68/IP69-rated water and dust resistance and MIL-STD-810H grade toughness promises great durability. With such features, the phone can run for 30 minutes under 1.5m of water. Amid other phones available at this price, like the Oppo F29 Pro and Realme 14 Pro Plus, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro is distinctively noticeable for its original design. Only a few phones, like the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, have such distinguishable characteristics, which, like the Motorola phones, are inherited from their brand’s signature style. Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in May 2025 Display The Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s display is a 6.7-inch curved P-OLED screen that dazzles even under direct sunlight for its ability to reach a maximum of 4500 nits of brightness. Images render on the display at a 1220 by 2712 pixel resolution and look equally vivid throughout the screen. The HDR10+ and 1B colour technologies featured in the display play a big role in achieving colour-accurate visuals. Among competitors, only the Realme 14 Pro Plus outplays the Edge 60 Pro’s display in visual quality, featuring an OLED display. Otherwise, even the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus, which is pricier than the Edge 60 Pro, comes with an AMOLED display. The only major difference between P-OLED and AMOLED displays is that the first one has a plastic substrate, while the latter uses glass. Plastic substrates are flexible and thinner, which makes P-OLED the perfect choice for curved and foldable displays. In contrast, OLED’s glass substrates can only be used in flat displays. Cameras The Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s primary camera setup comprises a 50MP (f/1.8) wide, a 50MP (f/2.0) ultrawide, and a 10MP (f/2.0) telephoto lens. The selfie camera on the front is also a 50MP (f/2.0) wide lens. Several assisting features like HDR, panorama, a colour spectrum sensor, AI modifier, and a light sensor enhance the image quality, auto modifications, camera functionalities, and modes.

In a strikingly candid internal message that has now gone viral, Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman has issued a stark warning about the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the global workforce. His bold assertion? AI is poised to replace a significant number of white-collar jobs — including, he says, his own. The email, originally intended for Fiverr employees and later shared online by Neatprompts CEO Aadit Sheth, has ignited widespread discussion among professionals. It signals a dramatic shift in how top tech leaders view the pace and scope of AI-driven disruption across industries. “AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it’s coming for my job too,” Kaufman wrote, laying bare the reality many businesses are beginning to confront. Eight Roles on the Line Kaufman identified eight job categories that he believes are most at risk of being eliminated or fundamentally reshaped by AI: ProgrammersDesignersProduct ManagersData ScientistsLawyersCustomer Support ProfessionalsSalespersonsFinance Professionals“It doesn’t matter if you are a programmer, designer, product manager, data scientist, lawyer, customer support, salesperson or a finance person — AI is coming for you,” he emphasised. According to Kaufman, tasks once thought to be ‘hard’ are being made easier by AI, while ‘easy’ tasks are being fully automated. This shift, he argues, will render many current skillsets obsolete unless professionals take urgent action. Adapt or Be Left Behind Rather than sounding an alarmist note, Kaufman positioned his warning as a wake-up call. He urged workers to embrace the change and begin upskilling immediately by learning how to integrate AI tools into their workflows. He cited a few examples of AI applications transforming various sectors: Cursor for codingIntercom Fin for customer supportLexis+ AI for legal workHe also advised employees to become proficient in using large language models (LLMs) and to learn prompt engineering — a skill he now sees as essential for navigating the new world of work. His most provocative remark? “Google is dead,” suggesting that traditional search and knowledge discovery methods are being replaced by AI-powered interactions. AI Before Expansion Kaufman’s message concluded with a recommendation to business leaders: before considering increasing headcount, companies should focus on enhancing productivity by integrating AI into existing teams. For him, this is no longer a question of choice but of survival. “Exceptional talent and prompt engineering are the new must-have skills,” he wrote, reflecting a growing sentiment within tech leadership circles that AI literacy will soon become a baseline requirement. A Tipping Point for the Workforce The viral nature of Kaufman’s message has sparked debate across social platforms. Some argue that his predictions are overly dire, while others applaud his candour and proactive stance. Regardless of where one stands, the broader consensus is clear: the AI revolution is not a distant threat — it is here, now, and moving fast.
