The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the latest flagship from the Korean giant, offering a range of upgrades while keeping the core features of its predecessor. The design of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is similar to the S23 Ultra but with some subtle improvements. 

The frame is now made of titanium, which is more durable and scratch-resistant than aluminum. It is also lighter—the Galaxy S24 Ultra weighs one gram less than the S23 Ultra. The phone is also slightly thinner (0.3mm) and shorter (1.1mm) thanks to the slimmer bezels. The front and rear glass panels are protected by the new Gorilla Glass Armor, which is four times harder to crack and 75% less reflective than the previous generation.

What if you can purify and humidify the air in your home in a unique way? Korean company Mosslab introduced Moss Air. It is a device that uses real moss to purify and humidify the air. It also works as a mini terrarium, creating a foggy effect on the plant. You can easily change the moss panel and control the mist direction with a magnetic ball. 

If you want to use it in terrarium mode, you just need to block the exhaust port with the included magnetic ball. It'll fog up the moss over 60-second periods every three hours. If you want to humidify your surroundings, slide the ball across and let the mist out.

Apple will upgrade the RAM on its iPhone 16 models to 8GB, at least according to analyst Jeff Pu. If true, this change is a significant improvement over the 6GB RAM on the iPhone 15 models. Pu’s research note also reveals that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will supposedly support Wi-Fi 6E, a feature that was exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro models will reportedly also have a new Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 5G modem, which is faster and more power-efficient than the X70 modem used in the iPhone 15 series. However, the X75 modem will be reserved for the Pro models, while the regular iPhone 16 models will stick with the X70 modem.

Samsung’s Music Frame: A speaker that doubles as art

Samsung has taken the TV from a bulky appliance to a sleek piece of home decor, and now it's doing the same for speakers. The Music Frame is the latest addition to Samsung's 2024 TV and audio lineup, and it's part of the Frame series that blends technology with art. At first glance, it looks like a simple picture frame, but it conceals six powerful speakers and Samsung's audio processing tech.

The Samsung Music Frame can display your favourite artwork or photos on its centre screen, a diasec matte acrylic plate called the "Art Panel." It can also produce immersive surround sound with Samsung's Q-Symphony technology, which lets it sync with TVs and soundbars from the 2024 catalogue. You can also use it as a standalone speaker via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Samsung designed the Music Frame to be mounted on the wall and function as "a TV speaker, rear speaker, or a subwoofer" depending on the setup. It also has Samsung's SpaceFit technology that adjusts the volume based on the room's acoustics.

The Music Frame, which measures 13 x 13 inches, was showcased at CES 2024, but Samsung has not announced its release date or price yet.
