Motorola Edge 40 starts receiving Android 14 update in India

Back in January Motorola shared a list of its devices that would be getting updates to Android 14, and, as you'd imagine, the Edge 40 launched last year was on that list. It has however taken this long for the update to start rolling out to the device in the Indian market. Better late than never, we guess.

Anyway, according to a report on X, the finalized stable update is now going out, in batches, to Edge 40 units in India. The update arrives over-the-air and requires a 1.49GB download, so make sure you're on a fast network when you grab it.

Realme 12+ battery life results are ready

As we are preparing the Realme 12+ review, we have some battery results to share with you, which seem to be just about average for the price bracket.

The Realme 12+ achieved an Active Use Score of 13:03h while running on the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset and having a 6.67-inch OLED panel running at 120Hz. A standard 5,000 mAh battery keeps the lights on, and it appears to be enough to provide dependable and somewhat competitive battery endurance, at least compared to most competitors in the same price range.
