Moto Edge 30 Pro tipped to launch globally and in India this month

Moto Edge 30 Pro is rumoured to launch in India sometime this month and is expected to be based on the Moto Edge X30 that launched in China. At the time of its launch in China, the Edge X30 was the first phone to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. It has long been rumoured that Motorola is looking to launch the Edge X30 globally but under a different name. 

According to a report by 91Mobiles that cites popular tipster Mukul Sharma, the Moto Edge 30 Pro will launch in February in India and global markets. While the report does not reveal an exact date of the India launch of the Moto Edge 30 Pro, earlier leaks have hinted that the phone is largely based on the Edge X30.

Moto Edge 30 Pro specifications

The Moto Edge 30 Pro is expected to feature a 6.7-inch Full HD+ resolution 10-bit AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. The phone has a thin and light build measuring 8.5mm and weighs 194 grams.

It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and runs on Android 12 based MYUI 3.0. This is paired with upto 12GB RAM and 256GB storage options to choose from.

There are triple cameras on the back headlined by a 50MP camera with OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s expected to be a 60MP selfie camera housed in a punch-hole notch cutout.

The Edge 30 Pro is expected to come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 68W fast charging.

Apple iMac Pro could make a comeback alongside iPhone SE 5G, and Mac Mini during 2022 Spring Event

According to the latest Mark Gurman’s newsletter, Apple is likely to re-release the iMac Pro during its upcoming Spring 2022 event. Introduced in 2017 as a workstation-grade computer, Apple discontinued the iMac Pro last year. Also, as everyone knows, Cupertino is slowly but steadily shifting its entire range of devices on powerful homemade Apple silicon, it's probably the best time for the discontinued iMac Pro to make a triumphant return. The newsletter alleges that the Apple iMac Pro will likely have a bigger screen size than 24-inch. It may also feature a mini-LED ProMotion 120Hz display. 

Apart from that, Apple currently sells two iMac products - a 24-inch M1 powered version and a bigger 27-inch model still using an Intel 10th Gen processor lineup. Another recent report also alleged that the 27-inch iMac is also likely to get the M1 silicon treatment. If the rumours from Ross Young, a display industry consultant are true. The newer Apple 27-inch iMac could feature a mini-LED ProMotion display with 120Hz high refresh rate support. 

Apple could launch the iMac Pro and the 27-inch iMac separately, equipping each of them with some combination of M1 Pro and M1 Pro Mac chip or Cupertino can release a single iMac and discontinue the 27-inch iMac altogether. Personally, I think the former event has a higher possibility. 

Apple 27-inch iMac Pro And Other Probable Spring 2022 Event Announcements

If speculations are anything to go by then the upcoming Apple 2022 Sprint event will feature a lot of new products. In addition to the above-mentioned iMac products, Apple will more than likely also launch the iPhone SE 5G, which is the current-gen iPhone SE but 5G enabled, more powerful and equipped with better photography capabilities.

Similarly, Apple could also introduce a “Mac Mini Pro” introducing its latest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips to the ultra-portable desktop computer. Last year also Apple introduced a bunch of new items like the AirTags, Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen), new iPhone 12 colour options and the iPad Pro during its Spring 2021 event held in April. With the pandemic in full force, expect the Apple Spring Event 2022 timeline to be similar.

Redmi Smart TV X43 launching in India on February 9

Redmi is all set to add a new TV to its X series portfolio, the Redmi Smart TV X43. Currently, the Redmi smart TV is available in 50, 55 and 65-inch screen sizes. The TV will launch on February 9 in India and there is no information about the price or availability of the TV. 

Redmi Smart TV X43 features and specifications

As per the teaser page on Xiaomi's website, the Redmi smart TV X43 will support a 4K resolution along with support for HDR 10 and Dolby Vision, similar to its larger siblings. The TV will come with support for Dolby Audio with 30W of sound output. The TV will run on the Android TV OS with Xiaomi’s own PatchWall UI overlaying it. 

We don't know the other specifications of the TV but we can expect it to support features found on its larger siblings like e-ARC and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). For connectivity, we can expect to see the TV support three HDMI ports and two USB ports.

— Redmi India - Redmi Note 11S (@RedmiIndia) January 28, 2022

 

Currently, Redmi has the Redmi Smart TV 43 available in the 43-inch screen space and that comes with an FHD display. In our review of the Redmi Smart TV 43, we said, “The Redmi 43-inch FHD Smart TV is a good TV overall. Not supporting 4K and HDR is not a con in this case as its picture performance is very good in SDR and better than some 4K HDR TVs we’ve tested in this price range. It has good colour reproduction and the panel works well for movies, TV shows and games. The audio output is fine for everyday use, especially considering the price of the TV. The only downside to the TV is that the UI can get laggy. The Redmi 43-inch FHD SDR TV is a very good option for those that understand the drawbacks of a budget 4K HDR TV and who want a TV that can reproduce content well. The only downside to the TV is the stutter I faced in the UI and hope this is something Xiaomi can fix via an update”.

On the other hand, we also had a chance to review the 65-inch Redmi Smart TV X65. We believe the features of the Redmi smart TV X43 will mimic its elder siblings so you can expect the performance to be similar. In our review of the Redmi Smart TV X65 we said, “Xiaomi has an interesting offering with the Redmi TV X65 for Rs 57,999. What it brings with it is support for eARC for home theatres, ALLM for gaming and support for a variety of HDR formats. While the overall picture quality is good for the price, HDR 10+ content still has some issues. SDR content playback is good. The HDMI 2.1 setting is switched off by default and getting to it involves jumping through some hoops when connecting the PS5”.

Apple iOS 153 and iPadOS 153 address a number of security vulnerabilities

Apple has patched a number of security flaws including a few that may have been ‘actively exploited’ with the release of iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3 updates for its mobile devices.

The updates will roll out for iPhone 6s and later, all iPad Pro variants, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and the iPod touch (7th gen).

Important Vulnerabilities Fixed

The primary vulnerability is referred to as CVE-2022-22587. This is a memory corruption bug in IOMobileFrameBuffer (or FrameBuffer) which is a kernel extension that allows app developers to control the way their app handles the phone’s display. An app exploiting this vulnerability could execute malicious code with kernel privileges. 

Another notable vulnerability was a Webkit bug in Safari, referred to as CVE-2022-22594. This bug could allow any website using a specific JavaScript API to check on another tab that the user might have opened in Safari and thus track sensitive user information. The bug could also be exploited to track a user’s browsing history and Google Account information via Safari or any other third party browser. 

iOS 15.3 addresses a total of 10 vulnerabilities and issues related to gaining root privileges, iCloud exploits. 

The security updates come a week after Apple released a fix for a bug in iOS and iPadOS that could allow HomeKit to be exploited using Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. 

Should you update to iOS 15.3 or iPadOS 15.3?

Needless to say, this is an important update that addresses several privacy and security concerns. As always, the update will be pushed in a phased manner and you can go to Settings >> General >> Software update on your device to check if you have already received it

Meta announces new privacy-focused features on Facebook Messenger

If you’ve ever been worried that your Facebook Messenger chats have been screenshotted, worry not as the company has just announced that you will be informed anytime a screenshot of the conversation is taken. In a statement, Meta stated that building secure and fun interactive features takes time and requires engineers to innovate and solve technical challenges. It also announced that it will feature end-to-end encrypted group chats and calls in Messenger. With cybercrime and hacking on the rise, it’s more important than ever to find great ways to connect with friends and family through private and secure communications. This seems like a step forward for the company amidst privacy concerns. 

New features available on Facebook Messenger

The feature was first spotted on Vanish mode but will now be rolled out to all messenger conversations. So, if anyone takes a screenshot of your conversation, you will receive a notification. Mark Zuckerberg also showed off what the notification will look like in an image that he shared on the social media platform. Given that privacy is a concerning issue in this day and age, a step like this could help people feel a bit more secure when communicating through Facebook Messenger. In fact, as we earlier reported, Meta even launched a new Women's Safety Hub. The company has made it a priority to make the platform safer for women and give them the ability to freely access information without the threat of harassment. The hub will be available in 12 Indian languages including Hindi and other regional languages.

In fact, the Central Board of Secondary Education has joined hands with Meta (formerly known as Facebook) on an ambitious AR/VR project. The company will train around more than a crore students as well as 10 lakh teachers in new educational methods involving Augmented Reality as well as Virtual Reality. Courses such as Digital Safety and online wellbeing will be offered under the curriculum. This marks a significant step for Meta as this is a rare occasion where the company is able to partner with a government educational institute for a brand-new, tech-focused curriculum.

NASA is now offering a million dollars to keep astronauts well fed in its Deep Space Challenge

As we’ve stated many times, space travel is hard, like incredibly hard. The human body isn’t meant to be out under the stress of space travel…yet. In the past few years, scientists and researchers have looked at innovative and clever ways of keeping astronauts well-fed for long periods of space travel. Remember that in a spaceship, food is going to be limited, so how we make these resources last longer is paramount. To that end, NASA has just announced that the agency will pay upto a million dollars to anyone who comes up with the most ingenious and practical way of feeding astronauts in deep space. Basically, the project requires teams to think up ways of food production that can actually be replicated on a spaceship or another planet!

What's cookin'? Seriously, we want to know. Phase 2 of the Deep Space Food Challenge offers up to $1 million to teams who demonstrate food production technology for future long-term space missions, potentially benefitting people on Earth. Ready? Sign up: https://t.co/SYr3lbqkVq pic.twitter.com/zIBnnuAdKp

— NASA (@NASA) January 20, 2022 NASA tweets out its Deep Space Challenge 

In an official tweet, the agency states, “Phase 2 of the Deep Space Food Challenge offers up to $1 million to teams who demonstrate food production technology for future long-term space missions, potentially benefiting people on Earth.”. It is a bold plan and one that in tier words, will help streamline food production here on Earth. In a statement to the media, Jim Reuter, associate administrator for NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate stressed that “Feeding astronauts over long periods within the constraints of space travel will require innovative solutions. Pushing the boundaries of food technology will keep future explorers healthy and could even help feed people here at home.”.

The real issue here is keeping food fresh and retention of nutritional value. Contestants will have to figure out how to streamline clean food production in space, all while maintaining taste, nutrition and hygiene. These technologies will also lead to a better understanding of how to manage food production here on Earth. As we race into the vast unknown of outer space, a man’s still gotta eat!

Amazon Great Republic Day Sale 2022: Best deals on PC Components

Amazon Great Republic Day Sale 2022 is underway and will go on till January 20th, 2022. During the sale, Amazon is promising great offers and deals across a wide variety of technology gadgets and gizmos. This includes deals where you can get up to 70% off on Electronics and accessories, up to 60% off on TVs and up to 50% off on Amazon’s own Echo, FireTV and Kindle devices. We’re certain that a lot of you are also interested in deals on PC components such as CPUs, graphics cards, RAM modules and more, so we’ve scoured Amazon to find some of the best deals on such devices.

Additionally, if you happen to have an SBI Credit or Debit card, then you can avail an additional 10% discount. The deals we’ve listed here are without this added benefit so in case you do have an SBI card, just knock off an additional 10% off the price and you’ll get the final amount. Here are the most interesting deals on PC components.

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ (Deal Price - ₹3135)

If you're building a new PC or simply upgrading your old one by adding more RAM, then the Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 ram modules are great. For the price, you are getting a 3200 MHz module which is the sweet spot in terms for speed for Intel as well as AMD desktop processors. Also, there's the added heatsink which is of great help to keep the modules cool.

Ant Esports ICE-200TG Mid Tower Gaming Cabinet (Deal Price - ₹2849)

You'd want a nice gaming cabinet to keep your PC in. At the bare minimum, you want good airflow and if you can also get some fancy design with RGB lighting, then that's up to you. The ANT Esports ICE-200TG checks both departments. It's got ample airflow and enough space on the inside to fit ATX, micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards.

Colorful GeForce GT 1030 4GB DDR4 RAM Graphics Card (Deal Price - ₹8890)

There's no way any of us are getting a graphics card at a sane price these days but some PC configurations don't even have an IGP for us to rely on. So we'd need to get a graphics card and the only cards that you can buy for sane prices are the entry-level graphics cards such as the GT 1030. These provide equal or better performance compared to the integrated graphics in most processors, so they're a good starting point.

Amazon Great Republic Day Sale 2022: Deals of SSDs, SD cards and external storage

Amazon Great Republic Day Sale 2022 is underway and will go on till January 20th, 2022. During the sale, Amazon is promising great offers and deals across a wide variety of technology gadgets and gizmos. This includes deals where you can get up to 70% off on Electronics and accessories, up to 60% off on TVs and up to 50% off on Amazon’s own Echo, FireTV and Kindle devices.

The deals we’ve listed here are without this added benefit so in case you do have an SBI card, just knock off an additional 10% off the price and you’ll get the final amount.

Western Digital Blue SN570 NVMe 1TB SSD (Deal Price - ₹8389)

The WD SN570 Blue is a recently launched NVMe SSD that gives up to 3,500 MBps read speeds bringing it very close to the speeds that its older high-end SSDs had. The fact that you’re getting read speeds more than what the WD Black SN750 makes the WD Blue SN570 a great buy. And when you consider that you’re getting 1TB for about half the price of an SN750 makes it an even better deal. Write speeds can only go up to 1200 MBps but for considering OS responsiveness, the read speeds are more important and in that department, the SN570 is a great drive.

That Nintendo Switch of yours needs a decent amount of storage if you’re planning on storing most of the save files locally and your GoPro could certainly do with more storage.

Sony PS5 available for preorder on January 18 starting at 12 PM IST

For gamers who have still not gotten their hands on the PS5 (review), there’s some good news on the horizon. The PS5 is now in stock on Amazon India, Flipkart, Vijay Sales website as well as retail stores, and ShopAtSC. It’s been a harrowing time for gamers in India as a lot of gamers have still not been able to purchase a PS5 but here's your chance.  

PS5 Restock India Up For Pre-OrderJanaury 18 at 12 PM

Amazon India, Flipkart, Vijay Sales, Games the Shop and ShopAtSC will have the console up for pre-order on January 18, 2022 at 12 PM Indian Standard Time. The PS5 has a handful of exclusives such as Returnal (review), Demon Souls, Astro's Playroom, Destruction AllStars, to name a few. First party heavy hitters like Spider-Man Miles Morales (review), Sackboy: A Big Adventure and more are available on the PS4 as well. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (review) is exclusive to the PS5 only. The market for Blu-Ray discs isn’t as big in India as it is elsewhere in the world so we do think that more units of the Digital Edition will ship this time. Or, at least we’re hoping they do.  

Getting a next-gen console has been difficult in India. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X (review) are hard to get and a big reason for this is the ongoing global chip shortage. You can learn more about it here. 

Despite the global shortage, Sony says the PS5 is the best-selling console, with more than 7.8 million units sold. Sony still has highly anticipated games such as God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon: Forbidden West scheduled to launch in 2022 and 2021, respectively for the PS5.

The new feature is available for Android, iOS, Web and desktop apps.

WhatsApp has also decided to push digital payments across 500 villages in Karnataka and Maharashtra. These will all be UPI payments. The Digital Payments Utsav programme was unveiled at WhatsApp’s Fuel for India 2021 annual event.

WhatsApp set up a pilot programme which began on October 15. In that, villagers were taught to use digital payments, set up a UPI, and basic education around digital payments.

Sony, meanwhile, is looking at boosting PS4 production as the company is looking at using the older console to tide gamers over until supply issues are resolved and gamers can get their hands on the PS5. 

Sony was initially looking at discontinuing the assembly of the Ps4 sometime in 2021, but owing to the shortage of newer consoles, it has decided that it’ll try bolstering its sales with more PlayStation 4s. As stated earlier, about a million PS4 consoles will be manufactured to take off a bit of the load from the PS5’s production. Plus, Sony does have a number of games that are cross-generational with the upcoming God of War: Ragnarok being the biggest of the lot. So, if players can’t get a hold of the PS5, picking up a PS4 Pro could be a good option if you’re looking to experience Sony’s exclusive games.

5G Wireless Service Could Still Disrupt Flights, US Federal Aviation Administration Says

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued fresh warnings that new 5G wireless service could still disrupt flights, saying there were "big differences" between US aviation protections and those used in France.

US Federal Aviation Administration says that 5G could affect and disrupt flights

It seems that 5G could cause problems and disrupt flights. This news comes in from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A statement on the official FAA website states, “The FAA is working on measures to ensure that radio signals from newly activated wireless telecommunications systems can coexist safely with flight operations in the United States, with input from the aviation sector and telecommunications industry….Because the proposed 5G deployment involves a new combination of power levels, frequencies, proximity to flight operations, and other factors, the FAA will need to impose restrictions on flight operations using certain types of radar altimeter equipment close to antennas in 5G networks.”

5G could disrupt airline electronics says FAA

The FAA says that 5G signals could affect electronics on aeroplanes such as altimeters. Recent laws were passed in France that allows airport buffer zones to protect the aircraft from interference during the last 96 seconds of flight. Antennas are also titled downward to avoid any sort of interference with the aircraft. Airports in the US have a buffer zone that protects only the last 20 seconds of the flight. They also do not have a law that allows don’t the tilting of antennas. The FAA goes on to state. “If there's the possibility of a risk to the flying public, we are obligated to pause the activity, until we can prove it is safe. Radar altimeters still must be proven safe in the overall US 5G environment to fly into these airports, so we must take into account the higher signal strength when assessing safety and risk.” 

Telecom carriers in the US have also offered to delay 5G deployment for two weeks as the FAA will then work with airlines and manufacturers to figure out the best path forward. They will perform tests to determine how radar altimeters function in a 5G C-band environment. How this plays out, we will only find out once the FAA clears the issue up.
