OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3: Details
The Bullets Wireless Z3 features 12.4mm dynamic bass drivers for rich sound across low and high frequencies. OnePlus says the neckband is tuned for immersive audio, further enhanced by the company's BassWave algorithm, which intelligently boosts low-end frequencies to deliver deeper, punchier bass.
Users can fine-tune the audio profile via the Sound Master EQ, which includes four preset modes: Balanced, Serenade, Bass, and Bold.
For a more cinematic experience, the neckband introduces 3D Spatial Audio, which OnePlus claims turns regular stereo output into an immersive 360-degree soundstage.
Additional highlights include a built-in voice assistant shortcut and AI-powered call noise cancellation. Using environmental noise cancellation (ENC), the Z3 is capable of isolating the user's voice from ambient noise in real time, ensuring better call clarity for the receiver.
In terms of connectivity, the neckband supports Bluetooth 5.4 and Google Fast Pair for seamless pairing with Android devices. The neckband is also IP55-rated, offering protection against dust and water splashes.

Matter Motor plans new e-bikes positioned against 125cc–150cc rivals, eyes exports by 2026

Ahmedabad-based electric vehicle company Matter Motor is taking a unique approach in India's growing EV market by combining the familiar feel of petrol motorcycles with the electric technology. While electric scooters are becoming popular and roughly make up more than 6% of two-wheeler sales, electric motorcycles still haven't caught on in a big way. Battery-powered motorcycles account for less than 1% of the market. That's where Matter's Aera comes in. In a conversation with TOI Auto, Matter Motor founder Mohal Lalbhai spoke about the thought process behind India's first geared electric motorcycle . He discussed why the company chose to bring back the gear experience in its flagship Aera model, how the brand plans to tap into the mass market, and what makes their EV approach different. 'When we started back in 2019, we really wanted to come down to what it meant for a motorcycle user,' Lalbhai explained, highlighting that traditional motorcycle riders, especially in rural areas, need precise control over power and torque. 'The gearbox came up as one of the most essential things,' he added, noting that on uneven roads and off-road terrains, gearboxes give better traction and responsiveness. This approach contrasts sharply with the growing yet saturated electric scooter segment, which already stands at about 6% penetration in the two‑wheeler market. According to Lalbhai, 'the motorcycle segment is going to grow' as manufacturers begin launching electric bikes. He outlined Matter's expansive roadmap, confirming that the Aera (200cc equivalent) will be followed by 150cc and 125cc models, though the latter may use different technical platforms. 'And for us, the segments that we are seeing going to grow are between 125 to 200 cc,' Lalbhai noted. Pricing remains a common barrier in the EV space, but Matter has tackled this with a bold strategy: full vertical integration. The Aera is priced at Rs 1.94 lakh, ex-showroom, which Lalbhai characterizes as 'quite competitive' when compared to petrol motorcycles of similar displacement. He explained that by avoiding external IP licensing - 'we didn't want to keep paying money towards IP… the biggest leakages of margins' - Matter develops its own hardware, electronics, and software, keeping costs under control. In terms of manufacturing, Lalbhai confirmed that the Aera is '100 percent made in India' except for battery cells, magnets, and semiconductor chips. However, this local thrust includes precise component assembly, electronics integration, and final manufacturing. Matter also holds over 375 patent applications, with more than 70 grants, covering gearbox design, liquid cooling, proprietary charging systems, and more. As for sales and customer convenience, Matter is building a three-pronged network: service, sales, and spares. Importantly, the company is integrating predictive maintenance tools into the Aera. 'We actually get to see how the bike is performing… If something is going wrong, we would be able to proactively reach out to the customer,' Lalbhai shared. Looking beyond India, the company plans to export to Southeast Asia, Africa, and Eastern–Southern Europe next year, though India remains its focus for now. On expanding product lines, Lalbhai said they plan to explore delivery and cargo models around the 125cc equivalent segment in two to three years, aligning with growing demand for light commercial EVs. Accessories and apparel are also on the radar, with plans to support riders with protective gear and bike-specific clothing by early next year. But the immediate focus, Lalbhai said, remains on its core motorcycles and expanding the Aera's presence.

RBI, banks to launch DPIP platform to combat rising digital payment frauds

In a bid to rein in the increasing incidence of digital payment frauds, major public and private sector banks have been roped to develop Digital Payment Intelligence Platform (DPIP) as a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) under the supervision and guidance of the RBI. The proposed platform seeks to bolster fraud risk management by facilitating real-time intelligence sharing and gathering, thereby preventing fraudulent digital transactions, sources said. According to sources, the institutional structure of the proposed entity would be created with the help of both public sector and private sector lenders as fraud is a common monster. Earlier this month, a high-level meeting in this regard was convened to finalise the structure of the platform where senior bank officials, RBI officials and other stakeholders were present. Since the issue is one of the top agenda for both the government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), sources said the platform should become operational in the next few months. Once operational, DPIP will collect and analyse data from various sources to identify potential threats and prevent fraudulent activities. By enabling real-time data sharing, the platform will help prevent scams and ensure secure transactions. Reserve Bank Innovation Hub (RBIH) has been assigned for building a prototype of DPIP in consultation with 5-10 banks. It is going to leverage advanced technologies to curb payment-related frauds. RBI, in June last year, formed a committee, chaired by A P Hota, former MD & CEO of NPCI, to examine various aspects of establishing this digital public infrastructure. According to the latest annual report of the RBI, there has been a significant surge in bank frauds, with the amount involved rising nearly three times to Rs 36,014 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 12,230 crore in the previous year. Of this, as much as Rs 25,667 crore worth of frauds were reported by public sector banks as against Rs 9,254 crore a year ago. Frauds have occurred predominantly in the category of digital payments (card/internet) in terms of the number and primarily in the loan portfolio (advances) in terms of value, it said. While card/internet frauds contributed maximum to the number of frauds reported by private sector banks, frauds in public sector banks were mainly in advances, it said.
