Google Veo 3; AI Video Generator. Too Good?

Google Veo 3

Google Veo 3 was launched in May 2025 at the Google's annual I/O developers conference. It was a simple text-to-video model, you can create realistic videos by giving prompts, but it's no just another awful video generator, where people have 6 hands! Google Veo 3 is incredibly powerful, creating ultra realistic, life-like scenes of our given prompt. It is quite hard to tell if it's real or not. AI is getting really scary! But less see what it can do. 

Realism

Veo 3 can generate video's as 4k quality with sound effects, ambient noise and human dialogue with captions. With creativity in our hands we can generate videos with prompts that give output just the way you imagined. We can create hyper realistic cinematic scenes and dialogues which fit the character. It can generate scenes of humans with natural looking movements with there hands and follows all physical principles making videos unbelievably realistic.

Audio 

Veo 3 can create videos with sond effects just the way you want them to be, with backround music, where we can tell it what theme it should be; happy, sad, thrilling etc. In videos with human interactions it can create dialogues with the sound of the gender of the person, the way the person says it, how loud it should be etc. We all these features we can use our creativity to max.

Disadvantages 

What would happen if these powerful AI video generators got in the wrong hands? As these videos are getting too realistic scams, fraud and misinformation increase. At this point we can really tell if videos we watch are real or not. So we must be careful to not fall into scams. This also eliminates the meaning of videos of proof. In court a person can easily create a video of a innocent person doing a crime, in future even with AI decrypting we wouldn't be able to crack it. It will also be able to create fake videos of real people for blackmail or manipulation.Imagine five years from now! 

Here are some videos generated by Google Veo 3:

How to Get a Better Battery Life on Smartphones? Tips and tricks

Increase Your Battery Life

Some smartphone users experience short battery life, some can't even get through the day after using for a short time. So, these are few tips and tricks you can use to increase your battery life.

Reducing Screen Brightness 

You may increase your screen brightness to the maximum, so your screen will look more brighter and better to watch movies etc. But increasing screen brightness to max can reduce battery life and is bad for our eyes. Increaase brightness can gives headaches and eyestrain.

Switch To Dark Mode

In our smartphones, it is set to light theme/mode by default. Switching your phones theme from dark mode to light theme can make a bigger impact on battery life, especially on phones with AMOLED display. You can easily do this by going to notification panel and there will be Dark mode or Dark theme options(varies in different devices)

Reducing Screen Timeout

In our phones settings, we can see display option click on it, then we will see 'Screen timeout' option. There, we can set the time our screen stays awake. If it is set at three minutes or more, then it can drain our battery fast as the display will be on if we don't switch it off. One minute timeout is considered healthy for better battery life. There is also 'Never' option in timeout which will never turn off the display, meaning it will be turned on till battery drains to 0% until we turn it off.

App Backround Activity 

Limiting background activity can give us much better battery life. Backround running apps such as Spotify, YT Music and many such run in the background even when we are not using them. These apps on run in backround when we play music then it runs even when screen is off. You can optimise your phone by using cleaner, stopping background usage by apps.

Power Saving Mode

In the quick notification centre we can turn on power saving mode giving us more battery, but less performance. Turning this mode on can reduce CPU usage by 70-80% reducing performance. This also reduces brightness by 10%(varies in different phones).

Battery Optimisation 

If none of these tricks work, try optimising your phones battery. Go to settings-Select battery option-Click optimise battery. After optimising it will say what are the problems with battery, background app usage, and battery capacity and more(varies in different phones)

India's Supersonic Dassault Rafale

What Is Wireless Charging? How Does It Work? Explained

Inductive Charging

Inductive Charging, also known wireless charging was invented by Nikola Tesla later came to be used in smartphones, tablets, smartwatches around 2009. Nikola Tesla also showed how to light a bulb wirelessly. This technology helped us to change our way of charging in our devices. Simply, how this works is that you do not need to connect you phone or watch to charge, as it's name suggests it's wireless, there will be a magnet in the back of our phone and there will also be the same pattern of magnets on the charger, and we just put our device on top of it, then the device will charge with no connections. The first ever phone to support wireless charging was Nokia Lumia 920 launched in 2012. In some wireless chargers there won't be a visible magnet, instead it is inside it. But there is more sophisticated technology behind it, that is what I'm going to explain.

How this works

This process works by using Electromagnetic Induction. The charging base consists of a circle shaped coil which is powered by alternating current (AC) creating a magnetic feild which can be used for power transfer. When we place the device on the charging base, the magnetic feild leads to form current in the coil which is ready to get converted to direct current (DC), ready to charge the device's battery.

Disadvantages 

While you can charge your device easily without connecting, wireless chargers are often slow while charging and takes time. Most wireless chargers are either 15W or 20W which is considered very slow. Wireless chargers are also known for heating up during the charging process, and this is normal as electromagnetic induction process transfers energy it can quite heat up. Improper alignment can also cause these issues.

Advantages 

Belkin wireless charging powerbank

After introducing wireless charging smartphones there has been wireless charging powerbanks which have very slim versions. As these are slim we can easily stick it to the phone on the go. There also has been phone back cover with magnets same as the shape of the magnets inside them, giving us a stronger magnet so it wouldn't be loose and fall off.

Wonder

If you thought the battery used in wirelessly charging phones are different type battery, No, it is the same lithium-ion battery used in every other devices.

How Good Is An AMOLED display? How Does It Work? Explained

People have always wondered if AMOLED display is the best display technology that has been there since the early 21st century. 

AMOLED Display

The very first AMOLED
phone

AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. AMOLED technology had gained it's popularity in the years 2008-2009 in sales on smartphones, tablets, monitors etc. In the beginning AMOLED displays were invented in 2006 by Samsung SDI, although this technology was later then developed by other tech brands. The official founders of AMOLED technology are Ching Tang and Steven Van Slyke, and they both also introduced the very first OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology with Eastman Kodak company in 1987. The first ever phone to have an AMOLED display was the BenQ-Siemens S88, which was released in 2006, followed by iriver Clix 2 (2007), and the legendary Nokia N85 (2008).

How It Works

Diagram representing how
  AMOLEDs work

How this type of technology works is by using thin films of organic compounds which is carbon-based and is in the form of tiny molecules. The speciality of this material is that, it can glow when electrician is passed through it and this process is called electroluminescence, quite catchy! So, it is the role of these organic molecules to actually produce light in each and every pixel. These organic materials are chosen because, they are way more lighter than older LCD, LCD screens and are flexible. Because it won't break when we bend it, we were able to develop foldable smartphones like samsung Z Fold and Z Flip etc.

Advantages of AMOLEDs

Unlike other older LCD displays the AMOLED can light up each and every pixel independently when electric current is passed. So, the whole screen is not lit up like LCD and LEDs, giving us true blacks which is a completely turned of pixel. With this advantage we will get less eye strain as the full screen is not lit up and individual pixels can be turned off. Accompanied with true blacks we also get more vibrant, vivid, colour production compared to older LCD displays.

Microscopic image of 
AMOLED display

We also get bigger battery life as AMOLED consumes less power, but this law applies only if you display darker content, as the black or dark spots need to be either turned off or can be adjusted with the brightness of pixels. So, using dark mode in phones can give us a huge leap in battery life. AMOLEDs also have faster refresh rates giving us from 60hz to about 144Hz.

Because of this, we get a smoother motion while playing games or when scrolling. SInce, AMOLED panels are flexible and are able to bend we were able to innovate foldable smartphones and 3D curved display smartphones.

What Is An LCD Display? How does it work? Explained

People have always wondered what difference there is between LCD and LED type displays, so today we are going to identify and discuss some of the key differences between them.

LCD Display

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Displays, and was first invented in 1968 which made a whole new generation of displays from then. It was introduced by George H. Heilmeier at that time. LCDs are widely used in devices like TVs, smartphones, monitor's, computers etc.

LCDs work by using liquid crystals sandwitched between two transparent electrodes and polarizing filters. These crystals are not able to emit light on their own, instead the crystals twist and untwist thereby controlling the amount of light that should enter through them. When the crystals twist to one side the screen turns black, and when it turns to another side the screen turns white and bright. The liquid crystals are basically the heart of the display, controlling the light passage. Light source in this is the backlight which is often CCFL or LED, which shines through the crystals and the crystals change direction of light to form the image required. Every pixels that is there in the screen is divided into other three sub-pixels that is; red, green, and blue. These three colours are also called RGB. By adjusting the brightness of each pixel we can create any shade of a colour we want.

Microscopic image of LCD display 

The advantages of LCDs are that they are very thin and lightweight compared to other older displays, consumes less power compared to old CRT screens, provides sharp and vibrant colours and images, LCD TVs are often really cheap and inexpensive, and the other surprising feature that it does not emit light on themselves, and simply relies on the backlight.

Backlight of LCD display

There are also few disadvantages of LCDs. If you are watching something on an LCD monitor and you are looking at the screen in a low angle, you will see that the screen is darker, thus giving us limited viewing angles. The major disadvantage on LCDs are that they struggle to produce true black colours. On LCDs the black spot on the screen stays lit up, producing a dark blue colour on the area where it is supposed to be black. Prolonged exposure to LCDs may cause retinal photoreceptor cell damage, damaging our eyes which causes headaches, potential retinal damage and sleep disruption. So, it is best for us to take a break if you are infront of the screen for too long. However this problem can be solved by using blue light filters which reduces the amount of blue light entering our eyes.

Types Of Selfie Camera Cutouts Explained

 

In the smartphone industry there has been many types of selfie camera cutouts in various shapes, sizes and in design's. Today, we are going to discuss these types.

Punch Hole notch

This type of cutout is the most popular among selfie cameras. This type is also the most common found in today's phones. The first phone to have punch hole camera was the Honor View 20, which was released in January 2019 featuring the very first phone to have punch hole camera. This design is a universally accepted in selfie cameras. Punch hole camera is of three times; It can be in the middle, on the left side of the screen and on the right side of the screen.

Tear-Drop notch

The Tear-Drop notch was first seen on August 2017 on the Essential Phone PH-1. The Tear-drop notch is also known as a "U" shaped cutout. This was also on the Sharp Aquos S2 at the same time. This notch was prominent in the years 2018 and 2019. Tear-drop notch is still used in phones even in 2025, but it is not common. It is seen in the Redmi A5, POCO C71, Redmi 14c, OPPO A59, Galaxy FO6, MO6 and many more. This type of notch is commonly seen in budget phones and low-priced phones. Most phones above 15,000 rupees will have punch hole cameras. Although the punch hole camera is seen on flagship phones most people still prefer tear-drop notch as punch hole notch is a little bit lower on the display than tear-drop which provides more screen-to-body ratio and giving a better viewing experience.

Under-Display (no notch)

The Under-Display selfie camera is the future. This type camera is not visible on the phones display and can't be seen with a naked eye. The camera is hidden under the display and positioned near the speaker. The main advantage of this type of camera is that, we get a full screen display with no interruptions from the notch, giving us more visual experience. But, there is also a disadvantage in Under-display cameras, because it is under the display the image taken is known to be a little foggy and low clarity. Some phones with under-display camera are the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, RedMagic 10 pro, Galaxy Z fold 3,4,5,6. The camera of ZTE Axon 40 Ultra and RedMagic is known to take foggy pictures, whereas the Z fold takes better pictures with absolutely no issues just like a normal notch camera.

Pop-up camera

This type of camera is also same as the under-display camera, providing full screen display. How the system works is by putting a motor in the phone and the selfie camera inside it. So, when we need to use it, it will mechanically rise from the top of the phone using it's motor. This was introduced in the early 2018 and it's first model made was by Vivo with the model name NEX. This was an innovative design and provided full screen display giving immersive experience. However, this design was a total design flaw as if the phone needed to be repaired it would be expensive and lacked IP water resistance rating. The motor and it mechanism takes a lot of valuable internal space which can be used to add more hardware or bigger battery. Because of these moving parts inside the phone added extra strain on the battery which affects battery life. Users were also concerned on durability and reliability on the motors every time they take a selfie.Some phones featuring pop-up cameras are; OnePlus 7 Pro, Oppo F11 Pro, Oppo Reno 2F, Vivo V15 Pro, Realme X, Xiaomi K20 Pro etc.

Dynamic Island

The Dynamic Island is the one of the best notches created in the smartphone industry. This idea is very innovative and is a solution to the big notches on the made from iPhone X to 14. This feature was introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro. Instead of a big notch in the middle, Apple found a creative way to utilise the notch space to make something innovative. The island is smaller than the notch and looks like an island on the display. With this Island we can use it in various ways in our daily life. Suppose, you start a timer and exit out of the app. The timer you set will be seen on the island on the top of the screen with countdown on the side of the notch, as we all know Apple is known for making smooth animations. So, the animations on the island is smooth and gives us a premium experience. The timer feature also applies same when we play music, when we exit out of the app the music we play will be on the island and we can see which music it is and can pause, play and change music by just touching on the island. When we turn on flashlight, get a call, when we charge the phone, when we unlock the phone with FaceID, when we record voice all these and many more features will be seen on the island and we can use it to seize our day.

The Island is bigger than other phones selfie cameras, Why? It is because the island on iPhones not only have just one selfie camera, It has; Infrared camera, Flood illuminator, Proximity sensor, Ambient light sensor, speaker, Microphone, Front camera, Dot projector. This much technology is there on iPhone from model X to the latest, it does not have just one selfie camera.

Google develops AI model: DolphinGemma that understands dolphin language

DolphinGemma by Google

Recently Google has introduced an AI model which can understand dolphin chatter and understand how they communicate. The clicks, whistles, and other sounds it makes under water have been noticed and always intrigued scientists. They always wanted to understand how they communicate throught their patterns. For this, Google assigned some engineers and did some research at the Georgia Institutes of Technology and named the project the Wild Dolphin Project and used DolphinGemma to help reach the goal of understanding dolphins.

DolphinGemma was introduced around National Dolphin Day, as a new tool to understand dolphin sounds. It was trained specifically to learn and understand the patterns and structure of dolphin chatter. Dolphin creates sounds such as "whistles", "squawks", and "buzzes".

"whistles" are made when they meet with their mother, or when they when they want to call other dolphins by their names

"Squawks" are made when they encounter threat and shows as aggression.

"buzzes" are made when they detect activities or when they chase sharks.

Google Pixel allows their interaction

Google pixel phones are being used fpr their interaction and the Cetacean Hearing Augmentation Telemetry (CHAT) system have been used for data collection, analysis, playback, two-way interaction and more. The pixel phones used for this project are modified with housed waterproof casing and are equipped with high sensitive microphones to record dolphins voices underwater. DolphinGemma AI are installed on the Pixel phones which will collect data and make two-way interaction with the dolphin. The Pixel phones also have the ability to create synthetic dolphin like sounds for their interaction and the sounds are then played back to the dolphins.

With DolphinGemma AI and CHAT we were able to analyze dolphin chatter and communicate with them. This innovative project helped us understand the world of dolphins.
