Realme is launching the 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ later this month, and ahead of that it's now ramping up its teaser/hype campaign for the upcoming duo. Today Chase Xu, Realme's VP and President of Global Marketing for the brand has taken to X to unbox the Realme 13 Pro+ on video. This is undoubtedly the world's very first unboxing of the phone.

Xu highlights the design, saying it really does look like a piece of art, which makes sense when you consider that it's been inspired by works by the French painter Oscar-Claude Monet. In fact, two of the three colorways are even named after him: Monet...

Bixby will get a generative AI infusion this year, Samsung confirms

Bixby still exists. In other news, Samsung Mobile Division President TM Roh has confirmed that Bixby will be getting a generative AI infusion later this year. The Korean company's assistant will use its own large language models, so this won't be achieved through a partnership with Google or OpenAI, at least not initially.

Roh also confirmed that Samsung will continue to allow multiple voice assistants on its devices, so presumably you will be able to have both the AI-ified Bixby as well as the Google Gemini replacement for the Google Assistant. Of course you can also download the ChatGPT...
