Indian NGO Prahar has sought to ban the Chinese game Undawn: Heres why

An Indian NGO named Prahar has urged the Indian government to ban the Chinese giant Tencent’s open-world survival RPG called Undawn. If Indian authorities agree to Prahar’s allegations, then Undawn could be a new addition to the long list of banned Chinese apps in India. But, let’s not rush to any conclusion and see for ourselves why Prahar thinks Undawn must be banned.

Prahar’s reasons for urging Undawn’s ban

1. Undawn was launched on June 15, 2023, which happens to be the same day when the India-China border clash happened at the Galwan valley. About 20 Indian soldiers were reportedly killed in this skirmish. Prahar finds it very disturbing that Tencent chose June 15 as the date for the release of Undawn. 

Also Read: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – A Worthy Successor

2. The issues don’t end there. Prahar is also concerned about the military uniforms and weapons (like AK47, G36, M416, and MPX. in the game that were apparently worn/used by Chinese soldiers at the time of the attack.

Abhay Mishra, Prahar National Convenor and President has said the game is trying to exert its “soft influence” on the young minds who play this game. 

Not only that he thinks this is an insult to the bravehearts who lost their lives and the sentiments of Indians.

First images of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 emerges online: Take a look

While we all wait for the official release of Samsung’s latest flagship foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, a sneak peek of the official press renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 has surfaced online ahead of the event, thanks to a leak obtained by an Indian tech publication.

The leaked renders first revealed by Smartprix showcase the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in all its glory. At first glance, it retains several design elements from its predecessor, the Fold 4. This includes the USB Type-C port, speaker grills, and microphone locations. 

However, Samsung has made notable enhancements, with a considerably thinner bezel that promises to elevate the user's visual experience by significantly increasing the screen-to-body ratio.

Also read: Google Pixel Fold vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Oppo Find N2 Flip: What's your choice?

Although the color selection for the new device is yet to be confirmed, the leaked render gives us a closer glimpse at a variant in Blue. Another feature that catches the eye is the S Pen, which is likely to be sold separately, continuing the trend established with the previous model.

The back of the device features a triple camera setup, reminiscent of the Fold 4. However, a slight relocation of the LED near the rear cameras indicates Samsung's meticulous attention to detail and efforts towards perfecting the design.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will house Samsung's custom-designed Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, a detail previously disclosed in other leaks. This powerful chipset is currently deployed in Samsung's flagship Galaxy S23 series, suggesting that the Fold 5 will pack a similar performance punch.

With its refined hinge design and likely S Pen support, the Fold 5 is poised to carry forward Samsung's legacy in the realm of foldable smartphones. However, it remains to be seen whether these upgrades, including the potential enhancements in the camera department, will enable Samsung to maintain its competitive edge in the face of emerging rivals like the Google Pixel Fold and rumoured foldable from OnePlus.

As anticipation continues to build, all eyes are now on Samsung's Unpacked event next month, where the tech giant is expected to officially lift the veil on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5.

Xiaomi Pad 6 in India: Is this Android tablet under 30000 capable of challenging iPad

Xiaomi has launched the Pad 6 in India at a starting price of ₹26,999. There are launch offers also which makes it even cheaper. You can get it for ₹23,999 as an introductory offer starting June 21. Meanwhile, the iPad 10th gen costs ₹44,999. That’s a major price gap. So, is an Android tablet finally at a place where it can compete with iPad, not just on price? Let’s do a spec-by-spec difference to find that out. 

Xiaomi Pad 6 vs iPad 10th gen (2022)

1. Xiaomi Pad 6 is powered by a fairly capable 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor. The 5nm A14 Bionic chip on the iPad 10th gen is known for its performance and efficiency. 

2. Xiaomi Pad 6 sports an 11-inch 2.8K (2880x1800) IPS LCD display with 309 PPI, 550 nits of brightness, and a 144Hz refresh rate. iPad, on the other hand, offers a smaller 10.9-inch panel (also LCD) with 2360x1640-pixel resolution, 264 PPI, 500 nits of brightness, and a 60Hz refresh rate. So, you can see Xiaomi tablet has a better screen. It also offers 1B colours, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, HDR10 and Dolby Vision support.

5 iOS 17 features that you wont be able to use right now

iOS 17 comes with a lot of user-requested features. You can install iOS 17 Developer Beta for free and try most of these new iOS features now. However, there are still some that you can’t use right now. Apple hasn’t launched them with iOS 17 beta 1 and so you are likely to get them in later versions.

Here are the iOS 17 features yet to come on your iPhones:

1. Journal

Apple has sherlocked Day One and similar Dear Diary apps on the App Store with its new app called Journal. As the name suggests, this is a Journaling app for writing down your day-to-day life happenings, feelings, travel and special moments. You can find some time from your busy life to ponder, feel gratitude, relive past memories, jot down inspiring thoughts, etc in this digital journal.

4. AirPlay in Hotel Rooms

5. Interactive widget support

Interactive widgets have been a big update for almost all Apple software platforms this year. However, only select first-party apps from Apple like Reminders, Apple Music and Apple Home, and third-party apps like Quizlet supports the feature right now. At the time of writing this, Spotify doesn’t feature interactive widgets on iOS 17 developer beta 1. Similarly, most apps don’t but we are positive that developers are likely to quickly bring this feature to their apps.

Realme 11 Pro Plus camera features detailed: 200MP SuperZoom and more

Realme 11 Pro+ is the highest-end model in the Realme’s numbered series this year. Realme launched it alongside the Realme 11 Pro at the brand’s “The Next Leap” launch event. As part of the promotions, Realme touted the 200MP sensor and Zoom to the next level capability of the Pro+ variant. Here, we will learn about these camera features in detail. And since camera is a key selling point for the Realme 11 Pro Plus, you would want to know what its camera setup is all about before the phone goes on sale in a couple of days from now.

Realme 11 Pro Plus cameras: Optics and specifics

1. One of Realme 11 Pro Plus’s standout feature is its 200MP camera. This is the leader of the pack. Well, it’s a trio that consists of this Samsung ISOCELL 200MP HP3 sensor. Realme claims this is “the biggest sensor and aperture in the price segment”.

It brings support for both OIS and PDAF. In case you don’t know, the former stands for Optical Image Stabilization and lets you get a more stable and clear photos. You can avoid jittery and shaky videos. Also, in darker light situations, the OIS enables your phone to capture better exposed photos. In case of the Realme 11 Pro+, there is hardware-level SuperOIS which brings the benefits of hardware-level OIS and some software algorithms to enhance the final output.

On the other hand, Autofocus helps you take crisp shots of moving objects. It’s good to have both of these features.

2. Now taking things a step further in darker settings is the pixel binning tech which turns the 0.56μm 200MP mode into a 1.12μm 50MP mode better for dark lighting conditions, or a 2.24μm 12.5MP mode if you are clicking in an even darker ambience.

3. Speaking of which, you can take full 200MP (presumably crispier) photos with 200 million details. Now, this is definitely an overkill for most users. The file size woud be consuming a lot more space than the 12.5MP standard shots. So beware of that too.

Also Read: Realme 11 Pro series launched in India: Here are 5 amazing features of the Realme 11 Pro Plus

4. Hardware-wise, you get to record up to 4K30 fps videos from the back and up to 1080p 30 fps from the front. Besides the 200MP camera, the rear setup also consists of an 8MP 112-degree ultrawide shooter for wide perspective and a 2MP macro sensor for close-up shots. For selfies and video calls, you get a 32MP camera on the front.

5. Rest, there are plenty of software goodies in the mix like Moon mode, Super Nightscape, Handheld Starry Sky Mode (using OIS and algorithms for exposure and noise management), Super Group Portrait (up to 10 persons in the frame), One Take (AI will select several "best composition" photos from various perspectives), and Street Photography Mode with Lonely Planet filters.   

In our review, we shall be testing all these features to guage how well the Realme 11 Pro+ cameras work. The phone is set to hit the stores starting June 15 at 12 PM.

3 big iOS 17 features that will improve Apples mobile experience at WWDC 2023

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is taking place this week, and while the whole world is waiting for Apple’s mixed-reality headset to appear, iOS 17 is pretty much the focus of the entire developer focused event.

Quite a lot of iOS 17 features have been teased from various Apple analysts, updates that will enhance iPhone and other usability aspects related to Apple’s mobile operating system. We’ve put together three main things we feel Apple’s going to make announcements related to iOS 17:

1) Apple focus on extensive care of your health

Apple is looking into their user's health extensively and iOS 17 is heavy on how they are turning the iPhone into a multi-layered personal health and fitness tracker for every user. Apple is allegedly working on a journaling app which enables logging in thoughts and activities, which will further get analysed to get a hold on users’ daily habits.

NEW: Apple plans an AI-powered Health and Wellness digital coaching service for next year. Plus, the Health app is coming to the iPad this year alongside new features for mood and emotion tracking and vision condition management. https://t.co/V9n8pIgfCi

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) April 25, 2023

Apple is also adding a feature to the Health App which will have a mood tracker asking you day to day questions and then analyse your mood. 

Also Read: Not one or two, but three new Macs may launch at WWDC 2023

2) Turn iPhone into smart home display

As per expectations, iOS 17 may also have some improvements related to screen functionality. Apple is working on some iPhone lock screen interface which might just work as a smart home display to control and pair with the likes of Google Next or Amazon Echo. 

NEW: Apple is planning a new smart-display-like mode in iOS 17, a new interface for information and notifications when an iPhone is locked and in landscape mode, as a major new feature. It’s a potential precursor to a standalone Apple smart home hub. https://t.co/mgFsu4nQ6x

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) May 24, 2023

When you turn the phone horizontal, the interface will show "information such as calendar appointments, the weather and notifications."

3) Apple Wallet will get an update in iOS 17 

Apple Wallet is expected to get an update but what the upgrade will be exactly still isn't clear. Does Apple want to push forward some financial aid to its devices perhaps? Jest aside, Apple’s Wallet app getting an upgrade during WWDC 2023 sounds like a plan.

— Michael  (@NTFTWT) May 15, 2022

These are some of the very important features that we are definitely expecting to be featured in iOS 17. But again, these haven't been confirmed by Apple yet and we have to wait for WWDC 2023 for Apple to confirm it all.
