iQOO 11 and Xiaomi 13 launches have been pushed back

If you’ve been waiting for the 1st and 2nd of December with bated breath, here’s some sad news for you. The launches of the Xiaomi 13, iQOO Neo 7, and iQOO 11 have been postponed, and while the companies have not indicated why this has been done, most people believe it is out of respect for former Chinese President Jiang Zemin. President Jiang Zemin passed away at the age of 96 yesterday. 

iQOO 11 and Xiaomi 13 specifications

Ahead of the launch date, the two companies had begun to reveal the specifications of their upcoming smartphones to create some buzz around the same. The two flagship smartphones will be equipped with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC. They will also come with an AMOLED display and a refresh rate of 144Hz. The iQOO 11 and Xiaomi 13 will also come with a 50MP primary camera and will run on the Android 13 OS. The Xiaomi 13 will also run on the brands custom MIUI 14 skin, which was supposed to be revealed at the time of the launch.

iQOO and Xiaomi flagship launch postponed

The Xiaomi 13 flagship smartphone was scheduled to launch on 1st December this year, while the two iQOO offerings, the flagship iQOO 11 and iQOO Neo 7 were scheduled to launch on 2nd December. We may hear about the revised launch dates of the three smartphones before the end of this year, and this push in the launch may also lead to India launches getting pushed forward as a consequence 

The delayed launch has also pushed the reveal of corresponding accessories such as the Xiaomi Watch S2 and the Buds 4 TWS. 

The iQOO 11 Pro is believed to come with 200W fast charging support while the iQOO Neo 7 will have 120W fast charging support and will run on the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC.

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 renders are out: Heres what we know

The OnePlus Nord series is a part of the brand’s midrange segment and has successfully captured customers looking for affordable yet efficient OnePlus devices. The latest in this segment will be the OnePlus Nord CE 3, and while there hasn’t been much chatter about the smartphone till now, OnLeaks has published a few renders that are bound to get customers (and technophiles) excited. 

OnePlus Nord CE 3: Design

Based on the renders, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 has a fairly different design language when compared to its predecessor. The smartphone has a flat design that’s reminiscent of the OnePlus X which was launched in 2015 (and marked the brand’s first venture into the midrange smartphone segment). 

The rear panel has a flat design too, with large circular cutouts for the camera. One of the cutouts houses a single lens, while the second houses two lenses. Based on these renders, we can expect to see a triple-camera setup. 

OnePlus Nord CE 3: Specifications and Features

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 is expected to have a 6.7-inch flat IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display has a punch-hole cutout right at the top centre, which will house the front camera (rumoured to have a 16MP lens). 

We are expecting to see the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset under the hood, with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM. The smartphone will have a 108 MP primary shooter along with two 2 MP lenses (with one being a micro camera and the other being a depth helper). The OnePlus Nord CE 3 will run on the Oxygen OS 13 (based on Android 13). It will also have a 5,000 mAh battery capacity with 67W fast charging support. 

When will the OnePlus Nord CE 3 launch?

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 is expected to hit markets in early 2023, however, the exact date has not been confirmed yet. 

Was the OnePlus Nord CE 2 worth its price? Read our review here to know about its performance.

Well, it wasn't just voice calls but messages and other Jio services weren't also working during this outage. 

Update: Jio's SMS services are also down and users cannot send or receive SMS messages at the moment. This leaves 2FA users on any platform unable to get their OTPs.

OpenAI trained a bot to play Minecraft after feeding it 70,000 hours of YouTube gameplay

Back in the day, if you could defeat the computer at chess, you’d feel like a king for a day. Now, we’ve got a modern equivalent of ‘beating the computer’ and that is possibly playing with AI. OpenAI, artificial intelligence research, and deployment company has announced that it's trained a bot to play Minecraft. How did it achieve this? Well, the same way we all learn things - by watching 70,000 hours of Youtube videos. 

The bot is the first to create the highly coveted DIamond tools in the game. This isn’t just significant from a gaming perspective but is also an important breakthrough in the kind of tools that can be used to train AI.

Breaththroughs in training AI

According to research, this represents a major breakthrough in imitation learning. Imitation learning is a method of teaching AI how to do things by showing the bots how humans do the task. You know, monkey see, monkey do. AI learns by mimicking the tasks it sees, which means we may soon be able to train AI bots to take over a bunch of menial tasks. 

Researchers at OpenAI hope to use this to teach bots to achieve something similar to GPT-3 for large-scale language models. GPT-3 can imitate human-written text. It had been trained using thousands of texts and books to achieve the same. 

“In the last few years we’ve seen the rise of this GPT-3 paradigm where we see amazing capabilities come from big models trained on enormous swathes of the internet,” says Bowen Baker at OpenAI, in an interview with Technology Review.

Thinking about playing Minecraft? It’s actually one of the most played games in the world right now, and you can’t go wrong with it at all.

Samsung may unveil a foldable screen laptop with a virtual keyboard very soon

Samsung has been working on foldable devices for a few years now, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 being largely lauded as a high-functioning device that isn’t compromised by the folding technology. Now, the Korean manufacturer is working on a folding laptop, based on the recent patents filed.

The upcoming folding laptop will not be the first of its kind to enter the market. Lenovo has come out with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold with a folding display. Similarly, the recently launched ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED has the largest folding screen available in the market at the moment. The patent for the same was filed all the way back in 2020. 

How will the Samsung folding laptop work?

As per the patent that has been filed, the Samsung folding laptop will allow users to fold it in half, thereby decreasing its size and the storage space required. This laptop is likely to have an OLED panel (like most folding devices) and may have a high refresh rate. 

While other folding laptops do come with virtual keyboards, Samsung’s offering will have a virtual trackpad along with the keyboard, which indicates that the laptop will have a touch screen. The schematics for this laptop indicate that the laptop will be quite thin when unfolded, and will come with dual USB Type C ports. These ports may support charging and data transferring functionalities. The laptop is also expected to have a regular selfie camera at the top of the display. The Samsung folding laptop may run on WIndows 11, and have a folding hinge that’s similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. 

Wondering if the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is worth the hefty price tag? Read our review on the same.

Samsung could be working on a foldable laptop patent shows an ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo-like design

In the last few years, foldable devices have turned many heads. While all the leading consumer technology brands are giving foldables a chance in their assembly lines, the South Korean tech giant Samsung has led the foldable smartphone market. Although other companies have consumer-grade folding smartphones in the market, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are available globally, making them a convenient choice for most enthusiasts. However, when it comes to other categories, such as foldable laptops, other brands like ASUS and Lenovo are ahead of Samsung.

Samsung foldable laptop’s patent reveals design

Well, that could change soon as Samsung works on a full-size foldable laptop. According to a report by 91mobiles, the company filed for a foldable laptop back in 2020. The patent was filed with the United States Design Patent and published on November 22, 2022. The patent shows that the Samsung foldable laptop has an ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo-like design. 

For those who are catching up, the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo has a conventional display and a secondary touch screen towards the top of the keyboard. However, instead of using a secondary display, Samsung's foldable laptop has one display that folds toward the bottom of the regular screen area and extends the display, pushing the keys towards the edge of the lower side. 

Additionally, a small part of the screen, right next to the keyboard, can be used as the trackpad. The publication has discovered multiple images of the design, all of which seem to depict a similar approach. As far as the user interface is concerned, it should show content in a continuous manner, i.e., the content should flow from the lower part of the screen (below the crease) to the upper part of the screen. 

The design could have certain drawbacks

Hence, users could have a larger screen to interact with the device instead of having a secondary screen. Although the device approaches the concept of foldable laptops in a new way, there could be certain drawbacks. The images suggest that the laptop will have a full-size keyboard, but the keys could travel less due to less space. 

Additionally, most users are accustomed to having a large trackpad at the centre of the chassis. Hence, having a smaller trackpad towards the right corner might make it difficult for some people to use it. Additionally, the foldable display will have a noticeable crease. However, the patent does not reveal any specifications of the Samsung foldable display; the laptop will likely be placed as a flagship product and hence, feature high-end components.

GTA 6 to launch in 2024 Microsoft seems to think so

The hype for GTA 6 has been at a boiling point. The much-awaited sequel to the 2013 GTA 5 has been in ‘development’ for almost 10 years now. Fans have been eagerly waiting for any sort of news about the game but alas, there has been almost nothing out of Rockstar, in terms of marketing or media. But, in a strange turn of events, Microsoft seems to think that GTA 6 will hit shelves in 2024. In a response to the  UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) with regards to the Activision-Blizzard merger, Microsoft stated that it thinks that GTA 6 will launch in 2024. Microsoft also referenced a Tech Radar article from July 2022 which itself liked the original Bloomberg article from the same time. 

GTA 6 to launch in 2024?

The answer was given as a response to downplay the significance of Call of Duty by comparing it to another blockbuster franchise. Microsoft stated that companies like Rockstar, Epic Games and more have a large share of the market which is why its acquisition of Activision-Blizzard could not be seen as a monopoly on the industry. While that is debatable, it's clear that the merger will be one of the biggest in history, if it does go down without any issues. Rockstar, on the other hand, has been dealing with its own set of problems owing to the GTA 6 leaks back in September. The leaked GTA 6 video on YouTube was about 52 minutes long and there were around 90 leaked clips of the new GTA game. In the GTA Forums where the leak was shared, the leaker says, "Here are 90 footage/clips from GTA 6. It's possible I could leak more data soon, GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets, GTA 6 testing build.” 

There has been no official announcement from Rockstar or the parent company Take-Two interactive regarding GTA 6.

iCloud glitch sends users pictures to strangers accounts

Microsoft recently launched the iCloud for Windows app, which allows users to connect their iCloud accounts with the Photos app on their PCs. This app has already developed a glitch and a pretty serious one at that. According to users who have posted on the MacRumors Forum, the glitch sends users pictures to strangers’ accounts. 

What is the iCloud for Windows glitch?

Users reported receiving strangers’ pictures in their accounts and also reported that their pictures were not being uploaded to the right accounts. Some users have also reported that they received corrupted videos that showed scan lines on a black screen. These issues were thrown into the limelight as early as November 17, which was just a week after Microsoft launched the new app.

What is the iCloud for Windows app?

The iCloud for Windows app has been created to allow users to consolidate all their content and storage options in one place. This means that content from cameras, OneDrive, and iCloud Photos would all be available in the same app. The main USP of the app is that it lets you access Apple’s iCloud storage, making it convenient for users who own Apple iPhones, but not an Apple laptops. 

The photos from different sources are all placed in their own pre-labeled folders for easy identification. However, if you’re using Windows 11, you’ll see all the content in a single gallery-like display.

A user on the MacRumors Forum tested the glitch on multiple devices to ensure that this was not a device-related error. The user utilised a laptop with Windows 10 Pro and two with Windows 11 Pro and experienced the same glitch every time He also tested the glitch on different Apple devices like the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple iPhone 11 Pro, and an iPad.

Intel creates worlds first real-time fake video detector called FakeCatcher

As more users are using digital platforms to get information and stay updated about the developments around the world, the threat of misinformation reaching a larger audience is also increasing. Although several tools can source data that has surfaced on the internet, it is difficult to check whether a particular video is fake. To solve the problem, the California-based chip manufacturer has developed a tool called FakeCatcher. It uses AI to detect fake videos with 96% accuracy.

What is Intel’s FakeCatcher and how does it work?

Per Intel, FakeCatcher "is the world's first real-time deepfake detector that returns results in milliseconds." The fake video detector is designed by Demir in collaboration with Umur Ciftci from the State University of New York at Binghamton. 

The technology uses Intel's software and hardware and functions as a web-based tool. The tool runs face and landmark detection algorithms for checking a video and can analyse up to 72 different streams simultaneously on third Gen Intel Xeon processors. 

The other deep learning-based fake video detection tools look at a video's raw data to find a sign of inauthenticity. Whereas Intel's FakeCatcher looks for clues in real videos. In the official press release, the company mentions that the tool detects subtle blood flow in the pixels occupied by human skin in the video, interprets them in spatiotemporal maps and detects whether a video is fake or real. 

The fake video detection tool can be very useful

The press release adds that "Deception due to deepfakes can cause harm and result in negative consequences, like diminished trust in the media." FakeCatcher can help restore trust by enabling individuals, organisations and other entities to distinguish between real and fake content.

While social media platforms can use the tool to detect whether a user is uploading a fake video and keeping the footage from circulating on the forum, it can also be helpful for fact-checking organisations. Additionally, media houses can use the tool to avoid amplifying manipulated videos.

Leakster posts image of Xiaomis unreleased outward folding smartphone on Twitter, deletes it later

In recent times, foldable smartphones have gained quite a lot of popularity. Thanks to models like Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, which are available worldwide, users are getting to experience the next in smartphone display technology. Broadly, a few types of foldable smartphones are based on a clamshell design. 

Xiaomi was working on an outward-folding smartphone

First, there is the fold-type smartphone that has a vertical crease and opens up like a book. Second, there is the flip-style smartphone that has a horizontal crease around which the display folds in half. However, some companies have been working on outward-folding smartphones, Xiaomi being the latest name to join the list. 

Leakster Kuba Wojciechowski uploaded an image of the outward-folding smartphone from the Chinese brand Xiaomi. In his tweet, Wojciechowski writes, "this is a prototype of the Xiaomi outward folding phone that was patented but never actually shipped (or even leaked in real life)." 

The prototype runs on Snapdragon 855 and supports 5G connectivity via an X50 modem. Although the tweet was deleted, it remained on Twitter long enough for tech publications to make a note of it. 

The smartphone looked a lot like the Huawei Mate Xs 2

The tweet contained two images of the smartphone. While one of the images had the actual prototype unit of the phone, the other contained a render of its design. Although the patent of the smartphone was spotted in 2020 by a website called LetGoDigital, very few units of the smartphone were produced by the company. 

To give readers a better idea, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 is an outward-folding smartphone that made it to production and was released a couple of years ago.

Vivo X90 teased ahead of the official launch, will feature 120W fast wired charging

Vivo is going to unveil the X90 series on November 22, 2022, and head of the official launch, the specifications of the Vivo X90 have surfaced on the internet. Interestingly, the upcoming smartphone will come with two display options: the Samsung E6 and the BOE Q9 display panel. The smartphone is also said to feature a triple rear camera setup. Overall, it looks like a decent smartphone, but the company has yet to reveal its price. Nevertheless, here is everything we know about the upcoming Vivo X90. 

Vivo X90 to feature 120W fast charging

As mentioned earlier, the smartphone is supposed to come out of the curtains on November 22, 2022. To create hype around the device, Vivo has officially teased some details. To begin with, the vanilla Vivo X90 will come with 120W fast charging support. 

Compared to popular flagships such as Galaxy S22 Ultra, Pixel 7 Pro, or even the iPhone 14 Pro, 120W wired charging is in its own league. Although a couple of OnePlus models support such a rapid charging speed, Vivo X90 could possibly charge from zero to a hundred per cent in less than thirty minutes. 

To achieve such a fast charging speed, the smartphone is said to come with two small batteries instead of one large unit. The two small batteries might have a capacity of 2,345 mAh, which makes up for a total battery capacity of 4,800 mAh. More details about the charging speed and the battery capacity should be revealed at the launch. 

The smartphone will have a 50Mp triple-rear camera

Second, the Vivo X90 will come with a 50MP primary sensor and two 12MP sensors, one of which could be an ultra-wide shooter. Additionally, the smartphone is said to house a 32MP selfie shooter in the front. Per previous reports, the Vivo X90 will have a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a high refresh rate. It will also run on MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC, a mid-premium chipset. 

Last but not least, the smartphone could come in multiple storage models, including 8GB, 12GB or 16GB of RAM. In terms of storage, there might be various models ranging from 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.

Want to set up an Apple ecosystem Here are the most affordable Apple devices that you can purchase in India

Have you been thinking about getting a new iPhone, or a new Apple Watch? Or do any of your friends have a birthday in the coming days? Well, whatever the reason be, we have compiled a list of the most affordable Apple products you can purchase to form an entire ecosystem. Here are the devices that you can purchase or add to your wish list. 

iPhone 11 or iPhone 12: Which one should you choose?

First, let's talk about the iPhone. The most affordable iPhone that one can buy in India is the iPhone 11. Although Apple does not sell the model through its official website, the 64GB variant is available on Flipkart for Rs. 39,999. Released in 2019, the iPhone 11 comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, runs on Apple's A13 Bionic chipset and has a dual-rear camera setup. 

In comparison with Android devices in the segment, the iPhone 11 not only provides faster performance but a superior camera setup as well. In addition, the model should receive iOS updates for another two to three years, making it a wise investment. However, as a downside, the smartphone does not support 5G networks. For those who can spare more bucks, the 5G-compatible iPhone 12, at Rs. 48,999, could also be a wise option. 

The iPad (9th Gen) happens to be an excellent tablet

As far as the iPad is concerned, users can go with the iPad (9th gen), which is currently available for Rs. 29,900 on Croma for the 64GB Wi-Fi-only model. The iPad supports iPadOS 16.1 and runs on Apple's A13 Bionic chipset. With the iPad, users can also get the Apple Pencil if they want to take notes, edit images or design graphics. 

One can also go for the iPad Air (5th Gen) if they want a powerful tablet and the features that come along with the second generation of Apple Pencil. The model is available on Croma at Rs. 52,490 for the 64GB Wi-Fi model. In general, iPads are known for their durability and functionality as multimedia devices.

Get an Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) to accompany your iPhone

At the September 2022 launch event, Apple released the Watch SE (2nd Gen), and it happens to be an excellent smartwatch to accompany an iPhone. While the device provides all the fitness-tracking features like the expensive Apple Watch models, it also has the latest features, including Fall Detection, Emergency SOS and Crash Detection. 

Currently, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen), with GPS, is available on Amazon for Rs. 29,899. Additionally, one can purchase the smartwatch using HDFC Bank's credit card to get a flat Rs. 2,000 discount, bringing down the effective price of the Apple Watch to Rs. 27,899. Further, the Apple Watch Series 7 at Rs. 34,000 at Reliance Digital is an excellent option for those who want blood oxygen tracking. 

Want to buy AirPods? Here are the most affordable options

Next, one would need a nice pair of AirPods to connect with their iPhone and the Apple Watch. The AirPods (2nd generation) can be a great device for those looking for an inexpensive option. They offer seamless connectivity with iPhone, produce decent sound and can last up to five hours of listening time on a single charge. The AirPods (2nd Gen) are available on Amazon for Rs. 10,999. 

However, the primitive AirPods lack active noise cancellation, a feature introduced with AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro also offer Spatial Audio and Transparency Mode for listening to ambient sounds. Although the device is a couple of years old, one can get it for Rs. 19,999 on Flipkart, or even less if there is a bank offer. 

The MacBook Air is available at an attractive price

Last but not least, the Apple MacBook Air 2020, with an M1 chipset and 256GB of internal storage, can be purchased on Croma for Rs. 87,090. The notebook runs on macOS Big Sur and is good enough for someone who wants to invest in an entry-level Apple MacBook. On the other hand, the latest MacBook Air is available on Apple's official website for Rs. 1,19,900. It comes with the latest M2 chip and the iconic notch on the top of the display. 

That was it for the most affordable Apple products out there. By purchasing them together, one can create an advanced ecosystem of devices that can connect and interact with each other.

Elon Musk reverses Donald Trumps Twitter ban, after an online spam honeypot poll

After Twitter banned former US President Donald Trump’s account following the events of January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol, Elon Musk the new owner of Twitter has reversed the ban and reinstated Donald Trump’s Twitter account.

“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated,” Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday night. “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”

The final Twitter poll results on Saturday night showed 51.8% in favour of reinstating Donald Trump’s account, while 48.2% of Twitter users opposed the move in the poll which included 15 million votes in total.

The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei. https://t.co/jmkhFuyfkv

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 20, 2022 Donald Trump is back on Twitter 

Far beyond the political implications in the US of reversing Donald Trump’s ban, from a tech perspective, Elon Musk alluded that the poll might also serve as a ‘honeypot’ to attract Twitter spam bots.

In cyber security terms, a honeypot is a deliberately set up decoy to lure spam bots, malware, or cyber attackers and detect, deflect and study hacking attempts that try to gain unauthorised access into any system. 

According to Elon Musk, the Donald Trump poll was getting a massive 1 million votes per hour, which is a huge surge of viral activity by any stretch of the imagination. “Fascinating to watch the Twitter Trump poll. The bot attack is impressive to watch,” tweeted Elon Musk, in response to all the frenzied activity on Twitter surrounding the Donald Trump poll.

It’s not hard to imagine the Twitter poll being used to study the effectiveness of or even fine-tune the micro-blogging platform’s anti-spam measures. “Most accurate would be to require access to phone GPS for location-specific polls,” said Elon Musk, in one of his tweets around the subject of legitimate Twitter users who were polling their vote in the Donald Trump debate–and how to minimize and eliminate spam bots from influencing any Twitter poll in the future.

Top 8 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 features that you should know about

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has debuted for flagship smartphones coming in the months to follow. It is based on a 4nm process and improves the CPU, GPU, AI processing, and other areas. We will go through all those upgrades and features here and also give you a list of smartphone manufacturers that have teased their Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones so far.

Best Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC features

1. There’s of course the improvement in the core design of the chipset. Although it is still based on a 4nm manufacturing like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it now involves 1x prime core (Cortex X3) @3.2GHz, 4x performance cores @2.8GHz, and 3x efficiency cores @2.0GHz. This is said to offer 35% improved CPU performance while ensuring 40% efficiency. 

2. The accompanying Adreno GPU now claims up to a 25% gain in performance whilst giving up to 45% improved power efficiency.

3. A significant performance driver would be AI as the Hexagon DSP boasts up to 4.35x faster speeds. Some of the use cases highlighted include multi-language translation and real-time semantic segmentation. The latter means the camera can identify different things in an image and do prompt tuning. So, the viewfinder is likely to reflect what the processed end result would look like.

4. The memory has been upgraded to LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. 

5. Connectivity-wise, there is now support for WiFi 7 Multi Link, Bluetooth 5.3, and dual active 5G SIMs (thanks to the Snapdragon X70 modem).  

6. The sound department finally gets support for native “dynamic spatial audio” which will use head tracking to give the user the sensation of sound coming from different directions. You will be able to stream losslessly at 48kHz too.

7. Moving from sound to visuals, you can shoot up to QHD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. Qualcomm has also enabled AV1 decoding natively. 

8. As for shooting videos, you are getting support for 8K. But be it on-device or external display playback, the resolution is capped at 4K. Qualcomm also mentions the chip will support new image sensors from Samsung (including 200MP ISOCELL HP3) and Sony. 

Official list of smartphones launching with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2  1. Xiaomi 13 series 2. Oppo Find X6 series 3. Motorola X40 4. OnePlus 11 5. Vivo X90 Pro+ 6. iQOO 11 series #SnapdragonSummit #Snapdragon pic.twitter.com/8KLq0JmfZQ

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC announced with AI capabilities: Heres whats new

Leading chip-maker Qualcomm has launched its latest premium mobile platform called Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that will arrive in flagship smartphones by the end of this year to take mobile gaming -- in the age of metaverse -- to a whole new level.

Powered by the most advanced Qualcomm AI Engine, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the world's most advanced 5G platform, and is tuned to support new image sensors from giants like Sony and Samsung.

"Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will revolutionise the landscape of flagship smartphones in 2023," Chris Patrick, senior vice president and general manager of mobile handsets, Qualcomm, told reporters here on Tuesday.

"Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 delivers groundbreaking AI, unparalleled connectivity, and champion-level gameplay, enabling consumers to enhance every experience on their most trusted device," Patric said during the company's flagship aSnapdragon Summit 2022' in Maui here.

The new mobile platform will be adopted by global brands, including ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG), HONOR, iQOO, Motorola, nubia, OnePlus, OPPO, REDMAGIC, Redmi, SHARP, Sony Corporation, vivo, Xiaomi, XINGJI/MEIZU and ZTE.

The new chip supports Snapdragon Sound technology for premium and immersive music, calls and gaming.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 also debuts new gaming features, including real time hardware-accelerated ray tracing that delivers life-like light, reflections and illuminations to mobile games.

The upgraded Qualcomm Adreno GPU delivers up to 25 per cent faster performance and the Qualcomm 'Kryo' CPU enables up to 40 per cent more power efficiency.

"Gamers will also be able to experience photorealistic human characters in their games with the world's first mobile optimised support for Unreal Engine 5 'Metahumans Framework' on Snapdragon," the company informed.

Fueled by an upgraded Qualcomm Hexagon processor, users can experience faster natural language processing with multi-language translation and advanced AI camera features.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 automatically enhances photos and videos in real time, using an AI neural network to make the camera contextually aware of faces, facial features, hair, clothes, skies and more.

"The Samsung ISOCELL HP3, the first 200MP image sensor optimised for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, will deliver professional quality photos and videos," said Qualcomm.

This is also the first Snapdragon to include an aceAV1 codec" with support for video playback up to 8K HDR at 60 frames per second.

Google Pixel Fold renders are out along with key camera specs: Check out details here

The renders of the long-rumored Google foldable, expected to be christened as Pixel Fold, have finally shaped up. Thanks to Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech, we now have a fair idea of what this device could look like. It has design inspirations from the Pixel 7 series but is very much distinct in its own ways. Some of those variations from the Pixel 7 design language seem to be because of the larger (and also folding) footprint of the “Pixel Fold”. Here’s what I mean:

Google Pixel Fold renders: A familiar yet distinct design

One of the signature design elements of the Pixel 7 series is the long and pronounced visor on the back which blends in with the metallic side frame. On the back of the Pixel Fold, we do get a protruding camera panel but it is more of an island than an extended visor. 

There appear to be three sensors as part of the rear camera setup, though the underlying sensor details are still secret. Mr. Prosser has, however, claimed the front punch-hole camera and the inner screen camera are both 9.5MP sensors.

That inner screen camera is sitting within the top bezel and speaking of which, the main display is surrounded by noticeable borders.

Moving from the optics and the screen to sound, the device is said to house dual speakers, positioned one on the top and the other on the bottom. 

In the renders, we also see some buttons on the right side, which are apparently the volume rockers and a power key cum fingerprint reader.

That’s about all Prosser reveals from a design and specs standpoint.

Google Pixel Fold: Price and availability (Expected)

Google is rumored to launch the Pixel Fold in May of 2023, priced at around $1,799 (~₹1,45,656). That’s a lot of commas between numbers. We hope the device is worth it.

Developer Remedy confirms that Control 2 is in development

2019's supernatural thriller Control (review) was a unique concept that still has us going back to it constantly. The game featured mind-bending mysteries, challenging combat and complex puzzles. Naturally we're quite excited for the sequel as well, especially if Remedy will be able to top what they managed to pull off in Control. Remedy are no strangers to making good games, and have the original Max Payne, Alan Wake and Quantum Break under their belt as well, which are all phenomenal titles. As quoted from our review, "Control is one of Remedy Entertainments finest works blending sci-fi and fantasy with mystery and horror in a way few other games have done. The story is immersive, the gameplay challenging and the atmosphere one that will be remembered."

According to Remedy, the sequel is still in the conceptual stages, and will launch for PC, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S.

What do we know about Control 2?

Right now other than the fact that it's in development, we don't know much about Control 2. We do have a piece of concept art from the developer but that's about it.

Mikael Kasurinen, Control 2 game director, also shared a message:

"With Control, we leaped into the unknown. We wanted to create something new. Something different and unexpected. A world like no other. Thank you, the audience, for making Control such a success for us.

With Control 2, we’ll take another leap into the unknown. It’ll be an unexpected journey. It’ll take a while, but to put it mildly, this is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on. It’s still early days, but it will be worth the wait."

Remedy went on record earlier in the year saying they were working on a "bigger budget" Control game. The game, Codename Heron at the time, has been confirmed to be the sequel. Alongside Control 2, a multiplayer spin-off of the franchise is apparently also in the works.

Other than Control 2, Remedy is also currently working on Alan Wake 2, and a new mystery project for Epic Games' new publishing label.

Next-gen Google Pixel smartphone details have leaked: Find out the purported specs

Google’s Pixel 7 series was launched in October. Within a month of the launch, the next-generation of the Pixel has already leaked. According to a report, the next-gen Google Pixel smartphones have been found in publicly-available source codes. Both devices have been codenamed after breeds of dogs, with the Pixel seemingly codenamed “Shiba,” and the Pixel 7 Pro is called the “Husky.” 

The codes were found by WinFuture writer Roland Quandt, who found the nicknames within and that they run on Android 14. The report also shows that the Mountain View-based giant has also given the next Pixels a dessert-inspired nickname, “Upside Down Cake.” Both the “Husky” and “Shiba” Pixel devices have also been found to run on a chip codenamed “Zuma,” which is said to be the successor to Google’s Tensor G2 chip. 

Pixel 8 (Pro)? Google has two new devices in the works codenamed "Husky" and "Shiba". Both have a new SoC codenamed "Zuma", plenty of RAM and proper high res screens. https://t.co/D90qXLqqNx #Pixel8 #Pixel8Pro

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) November 9, 2022

In terms of specifications, the report shows “Shiba” with a 2268 x 1080p resolution display, which is close to the Google Pixel 7’s 2400 x 1080p display, but the ‘Shiba’ smartphone is said to have 12GB of RAM, higher than the Pixel 7’s 8GB RAM. The “Husky” also seems to have 12GB of RAM, which is the same as the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s RAM. The display resolution, however, is slightly lower than the Pixel 7 Pro at 2822 x 1344p resolution. The Pixle 7 Pro has a resolution of 3120 x 1440p. 

The “Zuma” chip also seems to include the Samsung G5300 5G modem that the current Google Tensor G2 also uses. Now, the listing doesn’t necessarily mean that we are seeing the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro for the first time. The listing could also be for a possible Google Pixel 7A and Pixel 7A XL/ Pro. 

Google launched the Pixel 7 series including the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in India and globally on October 6 this year. Both the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will come with Google’s Tensor G2 chipset. The smartphones were the first time Google launched its flagship Pixel series since the Pixel 3 series in 2018.

Samsung rolls out OneUI 50 stable update for Galaxy A73 5G: All you need to know

The Galaxy A73 5G is one of the most popular phones from the company, and it has now been finally updated to OneUI 5.0 stable update by Samsung. This information comes courtesy of news reports that claim users in Malaysia have reportedly received an OTA update for the software version. 

While the firmware is currently available only in Malaysia, it is expected to be made available to other countries very soon. The new Android 13-based interface comes with new lock-screen customizations, widget recommendations and Modes. This feature offers custom settings to the phone, depending on the part of the day. Apart from the new features, the update also contains the November security patch.

Samsung Galaxy A73 5G: Specifications

Talking about the specifications of the device, you get some really powerful hardware under the hood that's tasked to run Samsung's refined user interface. The Galaxy A73 5G comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz sAMOLED+ panel with an Infinity-O cutout. Inside the punch hole is a 32MP selfie camera. 

At the back, the phone comes with a 108MP main sensor (OIS), a 12MP ultrawide, a 5MP depth shooter, and a 5MP macro module. Underneath the hood, the phone comes with the Snapdragon 778G 5G, up to 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a 5000mAh battery. 

There is support for 25W fast charging but the charger is sold separately. Speaking of which, there is no bundled earphones or even a 3.5mm jack for the same with the phone. It also comes with 5G, USB-C 2.0, up to 1TB micro-SD card slot, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and IP67 dust and water resistance.

Tesla offers its proprietary charger as NACS open standard: Why it matters

It seems like the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico are set to get their own EC charging standard as Tesla is opening up the gates to its technology, offering its proprietary connector as the North American Charging Standard.

Even though the company’s co-founder, Elon Musk, is caught up in Twitter business, and that could have some ramifications on Tesla, the latter’s new initiative could garner positive responses, especially from electric vehicle industry.

As stated in the release published on their official blog, Tesla gave their rationale behind this change. They wrote, “In pursuit of our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy, today we are opening our EV connector design to the world. We invite charging network operators and vehicle manufacturers to put the Tesla charging connector and charge port, now called the North American Charging Standard (NACS), on their equipment and vehicles.”

The design files of the charging connector were also published for download as a part of this announcement. From the numbers published in the release, it was stated that the number of charging stations fitted with NACS, are much higher than the ones with CCS (Combined Charging System). The company also published images comparing the two chargers, illustrating the differences between what the chargers look like now, and what could they potentially look like if things go ahead!

This move could potentially put an end to the disparity between different charging connectors being fitted into the EVs being offered by several brands in the region. Additionally, if and when, Tesla moves to markets like India, this move could be seen as a great precedent by the auto manufacturers as we look to cut down on emissions and waste as a whole.

How to easily discern Actually verified and Paid for verification Twitter accounts using the Eight Dollars extension

Elon Musk’s $ 7.99-a-month Twitter Blue subscription push has been chaotic. As it offers a blue checkmark to the new paid subscribers, there has been a torrent of fake Twitter accounts with a blue tick created as fun pranks or to disseminate misinformation. Now, even though there’s a way to discern the paid-for verification accounts from the actually verified ones, the official solution from Twitter isn’t so quickly accessible. That is where the new extension/add-on by Will Seagar and Walter Lim comes in handy.

The extension is funnily named Eight Dollars, and it is currently supported by Google Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Soon, it will be compatible with other browsers like Safari too. Here, we’ll see how it works on Chromium browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. But first, let’s understand how to check whether an account has paid for verification or not.

How to see who paid for the blue tick on Twitter

Go to any account with a verified tick mark, tap on the tick and you will see either of the following:

This account is verified because it’s notable in government, news, entertainment, or other designated category. This account is verified because it’s subscribed to Twitter Blue.

The former accounts are also showing an Official tag, for now. However, this is visible only in selected places like the profile page, for example.

How to install and use the Eight Dollars extension on Chrome

Eight Dollars extension is available on Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons store. Just install it and ensure you have it enabled.

Open the Twitter website on your browser and you will see Actually Verified and Paid for Verification badges alongside the Twitter handles at all places wherever the tick would appear.

Now, for some reason, if you want to install the extension manually, follow the instructions on the developer's GitHub page.

Poco X5 5G spotted on BIS, FCC databases Indian launch could be imminent

The Poco X4 made its debut not too long ago. Regardless, the company already seems to be working on its successor – the Poco X5 5G. Moreover, the handset was recently spotted on both the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and FCC (Federal Communications Commision) certification databases. This could mean that the Poco X5 5G’s launch in the Indian and US market is imminent since the handset reportedly got approval from the BIS and FCC.

The Poco X5 will be the first model in the Poco X5 series and will succeed the X4 series that included smartphones such as the Poco X4 GT and Poco X4 Pro 5G. The phone is expected to launch later this year along with other models in the X5 series. According to MySmartPrice, the Poco X5 5G appeared on the BIS and FCC databases with model numbers 2101320I and 22101320G respectively. The Indian variant of the Poco X5 5G is rumoured to have the model number 33101320I on the BIS website.

While the BIS listing did not reveal any details of the Poco X5, the FCC spotting suggests certain specifications of the device. Let’s find out the expected specifications of the Poco X5 5G that were spotted on the FCC listing and some rumoured specifications.

Poco X5 5G Expected Specifications and Availability

The FCC listing suggests that the upcoming Poco X5 5G will feature a rectangular camera module for its array of rear cameras. The device may run on MIUI 14 (possibly on top of Android 13) and is reported to support dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. The new 5G device is expected to support 6 5G bands including n5, n7, n38, n41, n77, and n78. Furthermore, the device is reported to be powered by a 4,900 mAh battery, which could be marketed as a 5,000 mAh cell. 

Other rumours and discussions surrounding the Poco X5 5G suggest that the phone will feature an IPS LCD panel with 120 Hz refresh rate support. It is also tipped that the phone will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC – a rather powerful mid-range SoC. 

So far, no official announcements have been made by Poco about the imminent Indian launch of the Poco X5 5G, however, Poco India chief Himanshu Tandon did recently put out a tweet hinting at the launch of a new handset which could be the Poco X5 5G.

A #pocofan shared this with me. This is false, BTW  We have something better planned. Stay tuned  https://t.co/2I56TZXPWb

— Himanshu Tandon (@Himanshu_POCO) November 5, 2022

The device was also previously spotted on the IMEI database; both the global and Indian variant. All signs indicate the imminent launch of the Poco X5 5G in India, so stay tuned to our website to know as soon as the device is announced.

Reddit now allows users to mute sub-Reddits

Reddit is the self-proclaimed front page of the internet. The platform has evolved over the years to come to be the way it is today. Most people on Reddit end up joining more sub-Reddits than they can keep up with, and the notifications end up annoying them. However, to the rescue of such users comes the latest feature from the developers of the platform, which would let users mute sub-Reddits that they do not like.

This feature had first been teased in Reddit posts after the user blocking feature was introduced. Reddit, while making the announcement about community muting via a post on r/reddit, made callbacks to these posts, connecting the dots for unsuspecting users.

As per user – u/enthusiastic-potato, who is a moderator of the official Reddit community, the changes are being made to ensure that the users have more control over the content that they see in their feeds, or as they called it, “their Reddit experience”. To help the users navigate through the changes made to the platform, there was also a support article posted reddithelp.com, containing a step-by-step guide on how to mute a sub-Reddit.

If you decide to mute a community, you will still be able to partake in its activities. You will be able to view posts and comment on them too! However, there is an upper limit on the number of communities that a user can mute. The post said – “Note that you can mute up to 1,000 communities and as many as you'd like per day within that limit.”

This feature is being rolled out first to Android users, followed by the ones using iOS devices. After that, the website would get this update. Reddit has also urged users to reach out to the platform’s support team if they see content that may adversely affect the platform and its users.

Ash Ketchum is finally the worlds greatest Pokemon trainer

The latest episode of Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series which premiered in Japan saw Ash's Pikachu defeat Leon's Charizard to win the Pokemon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament. In case you don't remember Leon or haven't played the recent Pokemon Sword and Shield games (review), Leon is the champion of those games, i.e., the Galar Region.

Pokemon Master – The Dream

The Pokemon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament is a tourney that pits champions from across the world against each other, and several fan favourites, such as Cynthia, Iris, Steven and Lance showed up for the tournament. In beating Leon and winning the tournament, Ash has effectively proven himself as the strongest of all Pokemon League Champions; the dream he set out from Pallet Town to achieve way back in 1997.

If you're someone who has been following the Pokemon series since its inception in 1997, well in our case, the early 2000s, then you most certainly know how much of a big deal this is for Ash. Ash has historically had tough runs in most of the previous Leagues he's participated in, and it was only in 2019 when he beat Gladion to become the Alolan Champion that he won his first ever League. That was essentially what got him his ticket to the Master's Eight tournaments as well.

What's next for Pokemon and Ash?

Ash may have won it all for now, but with the new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet just around the corner, Ash will certainly be having a lot more adventures. With a huge feather in his cap this time around, it will certainly be interesting to see how folks from the new region will react to Ash. Speaking of which, Ash will have a whole new region to explore, the Paldea region, and all of its new and unique Pokemon to encounter.

We've certainly made a lot of fun of Ash in the past for his questionable choices in the series, but he's certainly proven himself this time around. Now all we need to know is the secret to his eternal youth.
