The popular instant messaging app owned by Facebook\u00a0has a feature for disappearing messages, but disappearing photos will extend its use, and is popular on other platforms including Instagram, which is also owned by Facebook. WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo that spotted the disappearing photos feature said that it could be added to the app in a future update. It also shared screenshots that show how\u00a0the feature would\u00a0work.WABetaInfo shared through a tweet that WhatsApp is working on a self-destructing photos feature for iOS and Android. The screenshots in the tweet show a new option next to \u2018Add a caption' text box \u2014 that appears before you send an attached media file \u2014 on the WhatsApp app, clicking on which will make the media disappear once you leave that particular chat. WABetaInfo points out users could be able to take screenshots of the self-destructing photos as a feature to detect them has not been added. WhatsApp's parent company Facebook isn't new to this concept as it already allows users to send a disappearing photo or video on Instagram.WhatsApp introduced disappearing messages on the platform for Android, iOS, and Linux-based KaiOS devices in November last year.\u00a0The feature on WhatsApp is also different from how it works on Telegram. While Telegram lets users decide the duration before the messages disappear in a chat, messages sent to a chat on WhatsApp will disappear after seven days. Snapchat, on the other hand, deletes Snaps after they've been opened, deletes unopened Snaps sent to a group chat in 24 hours, and all other unopened Snaps in 30 days.\u00a0WhatsApp Messenger Gets New Animation for Voice Messages on iOSEditor's note: An earlier version of this article mistakenly cited an older report and contained incorrect information about a WhatsApp for iPad app. This has been corrected to remove the incorrect information.WhatsApp Now Lets You Import Custom Animated Sticker Packs .","news_source":"Gadgets360","news_website":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/","news_link":"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/apps\/news\/whatsapp-ipad-app-android-ios-version-disappearing-media-feature-instagram-2382899","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/apps\/news\/whatsapp-ipad-app-android-ios-version-disappearing-media-feature-instagram-2382899"},{"news_id":2653,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Truecaller Launches Guardians Personal Safety App That Allows Location-Sharing With Specific Contacts ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360521150Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:45.jpg","news_content":"Truecaller launched a new personal safety app called Guardians on Wednesday. The new app from the caller ID platform is designed to crowdsource personal safety of its users by letting them share their location and alert their guardians in case of an emergency. Truecaller claimed that the Guardians app \u2014 built in-house over the past 15 months with team members from Sweden and India \u2014 would never share any personal information with any third-party apps for commercial use, including the Truecaller app. Guardians debuts just ahead of International Women's Day 2021 on March 8.You will be able to sign up on the Guardians app using your existing Truecaller account or by entering your phone number. A missed call or one-time password (OTP) will be generated to verify your phone number before signing up if you aren't a Truecaller user. Truecaller also noted that the app requires only three permissions: your location, contacts, and phone permission.The Guardians app is a free-to-use experience, without any ads or premium tiers, Truecaller says. In the coming days, a shortcut to download the Guardians app will be provided through the regular Truecaller app to bring new users on board.Truecaller CEO: A Market Like India Is a Bit More Complex\u201cGuardians was born out of a simple question - how can we crowdsource personal safety, just like the way we crowdsource protection against spam, scams and frauds with Truecaller?\u201d said Alan Mamedi, CEO and Co-founder of Truecaller parent True Software Scandinavia AB, in a prepared statement. \u201cWe also believe that we have the right tools and the conviction to make Guardians happen.\u201dHow will Truecaller's Guardians work?The Guardians app allows users to select personal guardians from their contact list, choose when to stop or start sharing location, and can even set up permanent sharing with selected contacts. Users can also share their location during a particular trip, and the app will keep working in the background. It also comes with the ability to notify selected guardians to let them precisely follow the user's location in case of an emergency.In a normal scenario the Guardians app shares location intermittently to preserve battery life. It, however, shares precise location once switched to the emergency mode. Aside from location sharing, the app shares the users' phone status, along with its battery life and network strength. It supports interoperability and is claimed to be device agnostic. This means that the app will provide location tracking even if the user has an Android phone and their selected contacts have the iPhone, or vice versa.WhatsApp Gained Most Monthly Active Users in India in 2020: App AnnieOnce the details are shared, Guardians allows the contacts to call or message users with one tap. The selected contacts can also look at the particular location of the users once it's shared through the app.Guardians will also work with the policeTruecaller also plans to share your location with community Guardians who may be in your vicinity - but only once the emergency mode is enabled. This will bring crowdsourced personal safety and will be helpful especially for women travelling out. Truecaller told Gadgets 360 that it first has to scale up to a certain number of users to let the Community Guardians feature kick in. Community Guardians on the app will also be able to receive support from their contacts or other Guardians.Truecaller also has plans to enable support within the app for getting help from local law enforcement. It is also actively looking for law enforcement agencies and first responders to partner with for providing support to the users.Truecaller Adds Call Reason, Schedule SMS, and SMS Translate FeaturesAlthough Guardians is primarily focussed on women users and Mamedi told reporters during a virtual briefing that Truecaller's user base comprises 40-45 percent of women users, the app can be used by others as well.\"We believe that this is a service that can be used by everyone,\" said Mamedi.No data sharing in Guardians appOn data sharing, Truecaller claims that it doesn't share any user data and can't even access the location data for any commercial purposes.Truecaller Introduces Filters For Spam Messages on iPhone\"We don't store it,\" stated Mamedi. \"It's being streamed live directly to the client, so it will never actually touch our infrastructure.\"The Guardians app is currently\u00a0available for free through Google Play. It will also soon be available through the App Store.Truecaller already has a strong user base of 270 million globally \u2014 over 200 million in India alone. This could help the company to stay distinct against other developers offering similar personal safety apps.However, instead of going by integrating location sharing into the Truecaller app, the company decided to go with a separate offering to solely solve the purpose of personal safety.\"We believe that this [Guardians] deserves something bigger, and it deserves to be an independent product that you have on your phone that is lightweight, that only has one purpose,\" said Mamedi. \"And that also means that we we have a dedicated team that thinks about this every single day, how do we improve the service? How do we make it better? How do we make it faster and so forth.\"Truecaller does have plans to use its existing channels to bring users to Guardians in the coming days. There are, however, no plans to commercialise the app once it becomes successful.\"Our promise is that the app will remain free forever. We're not planning to monetise on it,\" said Mamedi..","news_source":"Gadgets360","news_website":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/","news_link":"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/apps\/news\/truecaller-guardians-app-women-personal-safety-app-download-2382159","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/apps\/news\/truecaller-guardians-app-women-personal-safety-app-download-2382159"},{"news_id":2652,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Google Chrome 89 Enables Web Sharing on Desktop, Redesigned Discover Feed, and More ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360647798Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:45.jpg","news_content":"Google Chrome 89 stable version is now rolling out for Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms, the company\u00a0has announced. The Chrome update brings features like customisable profiles and a work-in-progress Privacy Sandbox, along with a few features that have been in development for a long time\u00a0such as native web sharing on desktop and Phone Hub for Chrome OS. These updates were previously seen on the beta version of the browser. Google says that Chrome 89 update will be rolled out for Android as well as for desktop in the coming weeks.Google announced the stable release of Chrome 89 for Android as well as desktop via separate blog posts. Google says that Chrome 89 includes many stability and performance improvements as well as new features. While Google has not published detailed changelogs yet, we can take hints from the Chrome 89 beta release announcement that lists all the features coming with the new update.One of the key features that Google Chrome 89 brings is customisable user profiles that we reported earlier. The feature allows users to customise their Google Chrome profiles within the browser using colours and backgrounds, which will make recognising and switching between different profiles a lot easier.SHAREit Vulnerabilities Could Allow Remote Code Execution, Leak DataThe second major feature is Web sharing on desktop (Windows and Chrome OS). This essentially means that users will now be able to share website links through a native sharing menu \u2014 just like it's on Chrome for Android. If a website supports the new Web sharing feature, pressing the Share button on the website will open a native sharing menu that will show all the apps installed on your device. This will allow you to not only share website links with the social media platforms integrated on the website, but with any app on your device that supports it. As noted by Android Police, developers will not have to add any code for the functionality to work on Windows and Chrome OS.Google is reportedly also introducing Phone Hub for Chrome OS that allows you to connect your Android smartphone to your Chromebook. It will let you see your phone notifications on the desktop, control some features of your Android device from your computer, and sync Google Chrome tabs between the devices.Furthermore, support for WebHID, the API that enables Web applications to interact with devices like VR controls, gamepads, and joysticks, has been fully implemented in Chrome 89. The latest update also brings WebNFC that allows websites to read and write NFC tags on supported Android devices. Additionally, Chrome 89 will no longer support older x86 processors because they won't meet the new requirements to run some features.Global Laptop Shipments Jump in Q4, Chrome OS Sees Highest Growth: ReportAs per the Android Police report, some features such as Privacy Sandbox and a new Discover feed format (on Chrome for Android) were spotted on the Chrome 89 beta. Privacy Sandbox, still under-development, will allow advertisers to deliver relevant advertisements to people. Google says that the feature will help in sustaining the current advertising model without tracking users on an individual level. Furthermore, Chrome 89 users on Android may soon see changes to the Discover feed on the New Tab Page. Unlike the regular card-style display of relevant information, Chrome 89 displays the content separated by simple dividers. The title font is larger, and the description preview has been removed..","news_source":"Gadgets360","news_website":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/","news_link":"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/apps\/news\/google-chrome-89-update-desktop-android-linux-windows-macos-redesigned-discover-feed-webhid-2382994","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/apps\/news\/google-chrome-89-update-desktop-android-linux-windows-macos-redesigned-discover-feed-webhid-2382994"},{"news_id":2651,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Start Receiving Android 11 Update: Report ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360151604Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:45.jpg","news_content":"Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is reportedly receiving its Android 11 update, though for now it remains uncertain whether it's part of One UI 3.0 or One UI 3.1.

The update was originally expected to arrive in April this year, so Samsung appears to be a full month early in its release. To check if your tablet has received the update, head to Settings > Software Updates > Download and install.The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite was originally unveiled in April last year, before making its way to India in July. What remains uncertain is whether the S6 Lite is going to skip the One UI 3.1 in favour of the One UI 3.0, similar to what Samsung was spotted doing with the Galaxy Tab S6 (Review) which also began receiving its update on Tuesday, a full month ahead of its anticipated arrival.The Galaxy Tab S6 LTE variant is reportedly receiving the update with build number T865XXU4CUB7 in Germany, and it also contains the March 2021 security patch.

Epic Games is currently best known for its battle royale game, Fortnite, apart from past titles like the Unreal and Gears of War franchise, and also recently, the Epic Games Store game distribution platform. The terms of the acquisition are still unknown but it is the third party to join Epic Games roster.Announcing the acquisition in a blog post, Epic Games said that Fall Guys will retain its original gameplay. It echoed Tonic Games' statements from last month, to say the game will soon be made available for Nintendo Switch and Xbox along with PC and PlayStation. However, it will be interesting to see how it pans out in the future since Fall Guys is built on the Unity Engine that is a rival to Epic Games' own Unreal Engine.Both the companies said in another blog post that there are no plans to make the game free-to-play. However, the PC version of Fall Guys may be available may be available on Epic Games Store sometime in the future.Dave Bailey, Tonic Games Group Co-Founder and CEO, in a statement said, \u201cAt Tonic Games Group we often say that \u2018everyone deserves a game that feels like it was made for them.' With Epic, we feel like we have found a home that was made for us. They share our mission to build and support games that have a positive impact, empower others and stand the test of time and we couldn't be more excited to be joining forces with their team.\u201dAlongside, Tim Sweeney, Epic Games Founder and CEO, said, \"It's no secret that Epic is invested in building the metaverse and Tonic Games shares this goal. As Epic works to build this virtual future, we need great creative talent who know how to build powerful games, content and experiences.\"In other Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout-related news, it recently became the most downloaded game on PlayStation Plus game and had more than seven million purchases on Steam. The game takes inspiration from classic TV shows like Takeshi's Castle and It's a Knockout, where players clumsily navigate through a series of life-or-death mini-games, which bring a breath of fresh air on the oversaturated battle royale gaming genre. Epic Games recently acquired the video calling app Houseparty as well as Psyonix, the developer of Rocket League - the football game played with cars instead of humans.","news_source":"Gadgets360","news_website":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/","news_link":"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/games\/news\/epic-games-fall-guys-tonic-games-group-acquisition-ultimate-knockout-fortnite-2382957","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/games\/news\/epic-games-fall-guys-tonic-games-group-acquisition-ultimate-knockout-fortnite-2382957"},{"news_id":2649,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Apple Hearing Study Insights Reveal How Many Are at Risk of Hearing Loss ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360922241Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:43.jpg","news_content":"Apple on Tuesday shared insights from the Apple Hearing Study, ahead of World Hearing Day today. The study shares findings from long-term hearing health data gathered with the participation of thousands of Apple Watch and iPhone users in the US. Insights included how many experience a daily average environmental sound exposure higher than the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended limit, how many work in a loud workplace, and average weekly headphone exposure, among others. The company on the occasion of World Hearing Day also shares tips and tools to better manage their hearing health.Findings of the Apple Hearing Study were detailed in a blog post by the company. The study was conducted by Apple through its Research app, in collaboration with the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Data from the study is being shared with the WHO's Make Listening Safe initiative. WHO estimates that by 2050, more than 700 million people globally will experience profound hearing issues.Apple notes that a quarter of the study's participants experience a daily average environmental sound exposure higher than the WHO recommended limit, and that more than 50 percent of participants now work, or have previously worked, in a loud workplace. The study also highlighted that for one in 10 participants, the average weekly headphone exposure was higher than WHO's recommended limit. Apple says 10 percent of the participants were diagnosed with hearing loss by a professional, and only 25 percent of those used a hearing aid or a cochlear implant.Based on the hearing data however, 20 percent of the participants qualify for having hearing loss as per WHO standards, 10 percent of which have signs of hearing loss that are consistent of being caused by noise exposure. Almost half of the participants from the study haven't had their hearing tested a professional in the last 10 years. Nearly a quarter of the participants experience ringing in their ears a few times a week which could indicate hearing loss.In its blog post, Apple notes, \"Reduced hearing can affect a person's health and well-being in many ways, such as contributing to reduced communication, feelings of isolation, loneliness, and withdrawal.\" It suggests ways in which users can avoid hearing loss in today's world. These include using the Noise app on the Apple Watch to be aware of your environment's noise levels, with alerts when they exceeds safe levels. The Health app on the iPhone will help users similarly, showing if headphone or environmental noise has exceeded safe levels, while also keeping a track of exposure history.Apple also cautioned users about listening to music and other media at the lowest enjoyable volume to avoid risking hearing loss. The company also suggests periodic visits to a hearing professional to get your hearing checked. \u201cWe encourage people to take the appropriate steps to protect their hearing and to seek care when needed\u201d said Ren Minghui, Assistant Director-General of the WHO, was quoted to say in Apple's blog post..","news_source":"Gadgets360","news_website":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/","news_link":"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/audio\/news\/apple-hearing-study-world-health-organisation-university-of-michigan-apple-watch-iphone-results-2382923","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/audio\/news\/apple-hearing-study-world-health-organisation-university-of-michigan-apple-watch-iphone-results-2382923"},{"news_id":2648,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Google Says Won\u2019t Track Individual Web Activity for Personalised Advertisements After Phasing Out Cookies ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360923397Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:40.jpg","news_content":"Google will not build or use alternate tools to track web browsing traffic once it begins phasing out existing technology from its Chrome browser next year, it said in a blog post on Wednesday, in a move that will reshape how online advertising works. Google first announced that it would get rid of third-party cookies, which for decades has enabled online ads, early last year to meet growing data privacy standards in Europe and the United States.Privacy activists for years have criticised tech companies including Google for using cookies to gather web browsing records across websites they don't own, enabling them to develop profiles on users' interests to serve personalised advertisements. Now, Google is pledging it will not use other technology to replace the cookie or build features inside Google Chrome to allow itself access to that data, though it continues to test ways for businesses to target ads to large groups of anonymous users with common interests.\"Keeping the internet open and accessible for everyone requires all of us to do more to protect privacy \u2014 and that means an end to not only third-party cookies but also any technology used for tracking individual people as they browse the web,\" Google said in the blog post.Google Chrome 89 Brings Web Sharing to DesktopEarlier this year, Google unveiled the results of tests that showed an alternative to the longstanding practice of using user-tracking cookies. The company claimed that it could improve online privacy while still enabling advertisers to serve up relevant messages.\"This approach effectively hides individuals 'in the crowd' and uses on-device processing to keep a person's Web history private on the browser,\" Google product manager Chetna Bindra had explained in unveiling the system called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC). \"Results indicate that when it comes to generating interest-based audiences, FLoC can provide an effective replacement signal for third-party cookies.\"Does WhatsApp's new privacy policy spell the end for your privacy?

Today, the Taiwanese-based maker announces its MT9638 chipset for 4K TVs.But 4K is far from being the only neat feature. The chipset can also do a bunch of AI-powered stuff like super resolution, picture quality and voice assistant. The infamous MEMC feature is also on board but the variable refresh rate is arguably the most important feature for gamers.A quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 CPU is running the show at up to 1.5GHz. Aside from the standard CPU, there's also a dedicated APU, which stands for \"AI processing unit\". And with the help of a GPU (Mali-G52 MC1), the chip can do real-time content and scene recognition adjusting the saturation, brightness, sharpness, and noise reduction on the fly.The AI super resolution, on the other hand, upscales the resolution of a video to the native 4K and in combination with the MEMC tech, you get smoother higher-res videos.Some of the most important specs include 4K@60fps playback with support for HEVC, VP9 and AV1. HDR10+ is also on the list with support for up to 2304 backlight dimming zones. Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X are included for improved sound experience.In terms of connectivity, the chip features HDMI 2.1a, USB 3.0 and Wi-Fi 6.The chip is supposed to make it into final products in Q2 2021.","news_source":"GSMarena","news_website":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/","news_link":"mediatek_announces_the_mt9638_a_4kcapable_tv_soc-news-48028.php","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/mediatek_announces_the_mt9638_a_4kcapable_tv_soc-news-48028.php"},{"news_id":2646,"news_category":1,"news_title":"Google Play Console listing reveals key Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite specs","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/GSMarena134133Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:24.jpg","news_content":"Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite recently starred in a couple of hands-on photos revealing the design but information about specs has been rather scarce.

In fact, we are just a few days away from the OnePlus 9-series launch event. Still, DxOMark did an in-depth camera review of the OnePlus 8T to see how it stacks against the competition. The overall score of 111 points puts the device on par with the Google Pixel 4a and the rather old Huawei Mate 20 Pro.And expectedly, the overall camera performance is far from stellar. Reviewers even call the phone a \"refreshed midranger\". Maybe because the camera experience is typical for a mid-range handset. The main issues with the phone's camera are the inaccurate color reproduction and noise across almost all shooting scenarios, especially in low-light. Dynamic range also needs improving while telephoto shots lack detail and produce noise. Moreover, videos need a better focus in low-light conditions as well as some adequate noise reduction.On the other hand, reviewers liked the accurate exposure metering and the wide depth of field that ensures a sharp background. The faux bokeh also seems to be on point with an accurate and convincing depth effect. Also, videos look really nice when taken outdoor where the focus instabilities and noise are not observed.","news_source":"GSMarena","news_website":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/","news_link":"dxomark_rates_the_oneplus_8ts_camera_as_average-news-48031.php","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/dxomark_rates_the_oneplus_8ts_camera_as_average-news-48031.php"},{"news_id":2642,"news_category":1,"news_title":"vivo S9 5G and S9e 5G announced with familiar design and upgraded internals","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/GSMarena731149Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:19.jpg","news_content":"Vivo has just announced the S9 5G and S9e 5G - direct successors to the vivo S7 with an identical design but with upgraded hardware inside. The hardware is now capable of 5G connectivity, hence the names. And as you've probably guessed, the S9e is a toned-down version of the standard S9.Let's start with the S9 5G. It employs a MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset based on the 6nm node and is paired with either 8GB\/128GB memory or 12GB\/256GB. The display is still AMOLED with a 6.44-inch diagonal and a notch for the front-facing camera. The panel supports HDR10+ and offers an FHD+ resolution at 90Hz.The cameras on the back consist of a 64MP main unit with an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP one dedicated to macro photography. The small notch on the front is enough to house a 44MP main camera and an 8MP one for ultrawide stills.The battery that keeps the lights on is rated at 4,000 mAh and supports 33W fast charging. The device runs on vivo's new OriginOS based on Android 10.The S9e 5G model is quite similar to the original and even retains the same display but swaps the notch for a waterdrop-looking one as it houses just one 32MP camera. The chipset is also downgraded to Dimensity 820 available in two memory configurations - 8GB\/128GB or 8GB\/256GB.The same triple camera setup can be found on the back along with the battery and charging.Since the devices have been announced for the Chinese market first, the pricing goes like this: CNY 2,999 (~$465) for the base vivo S9 5G or CNY 3,299 (~$510) for the beefed-up 12GB\/256GB variant. The S9e 5G starts at CNY 2,399 (~$370) for the 8GB\/128GB model and asks CNY 2,699 (~$420) for the 8GB\/256GB iteration. The vanilla S9 5G will be available starting March 12 in China while the S9e 5G's availability is yet to be disclosed.","news_source":"GSMarena","news_website":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/","news_link":"vivo_s9_5g_and_s9e_5g_announced_with_familiar_design_and_upgraded_internals-news-48035.php","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/vivo_s9_5g_and_s9e_5g_announced_with_familiar_design_and_upgraded_internals-news-48035.php"},{"news_id":2641,"news_category":1,"news_title":"Oppo Find X3 stars in a couple of new teasers, 10-bit color engine confirmed","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/GSMarena834089Thu-04-03-2021-5:31:18.jpg","news_content":"Let's start with the official teaser that comes from Oppo itself.

The 6700 XT is based on the same RDNA2 architecture as the other RX 6000-series graphics cards but it is the cheapest model in the series so far, starting at $479.The 6700 XT has a new, smaller GPU than the one on the other three 6000-series cards. This GPU has 40 compute units, 64 ROPs, 160 texture units, and 2560 stream processors.One of the interesting things about the 6700 XT is the aggressive clock speed; the average clock speed under load or 'Game Frequency' as AMD likes to call it is a rather high 2424MHz. This gives it compute performance of 12.41 TFLOPs, which helps it close the gap on paper with the $100 more expensive and relatively lower clocked RX 6800. Of course, actual game performance will depend on many other factors.On the memory side, the 6700 XT has 12GB of GDDR6 of unknown speed with a 192-bit memory interface and up to 384GB\/s of bandwidth. AMD has reduced the Infinity Cache size to 96MB on this model.In terms of connectivity, the 6700 XT has three DisplayPort 1.4 ports with DSC and a single HDMI 2.1. The reference card requires standard 8+6 pins of power and the card has a typical board power of 230W.AMD provided some rough approximations of the card's performance during its launch keynote. In one chart, the 6700 XT was shown handily beating old cards such as the NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti and RTX 2080 Super. In another, it was shown trading blows with the $399 RTX 3060 Ti and the $499 RTX 3070. We will have to wait for independent third-party reviews to confirm the performance and also provide further data points.The $479 pricing puts the 6700 XT in an interesting position. The RTX 3070 seems like the main rival but will also entice some RTX 3060 Ti buyers to spend extra for the potentially higher rasterization performance. Of course, AMD's ray tracing performance is still lacking and AMD was careful not to show any ray tracing benchmarks once again. The company also failed to show any alternative to NVIDIA's DLSS technology, which should further distance the 6700 XT from the RTX cards in ray traced applications.Of course, the real concern today would be finding the cards in stock when the 6700 XT goes on sale on March 18. The 6700 XT will be available as a two-slot, dual-fan reference card directly from AMD and also as partner models from the likes of ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, PowerColor, SAPPHIRE and XFX. Unfortunately, it's difficult to imagine things getting better stock-wise for this launch, as has been the case for everything the past six months.","news_source":"GSMarena","news_website":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/","news_link":"amd_announces_the_radeon_rx_6700_xt_graphics_card-news-48038.php","created_date":"Thu 04, March 2021 12:01am","full_source":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/amd_announces_the_radeon_rx_6700_xt_graphics_card-news-48038.php"},{"news_id":2638,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Samsung Unveils New Micro-LED, Neo QLED, Lifestyle TVs, Monitors, Q Series Soundbars, and More for 2021 ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360117205Wed-03-03-2021-5:31:01.jpg","news_content":"Samsung Unbox and Discover event was held on Tuesday, where the company unveiled its new lineup of TVs, monitors, and soundbars.

This means the C40's range will be extended over time with software upgrades, Chief Technology Officer Henrik Green said.Volvo Partners Nvidia to Develop AI for Driverless VehiclesCarmakers are racing to switch to zero-emission models as they face CO2 emissions targets in Europe and China, plus looming bans in some countries on fossil fuel vehicles.Last month, Ford Motor\u00a0said its lineup in Europe will be fully electric by 2030, while Tata Motors unit Jaguar Land Rover said its luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and the carmaker will launch electric models of its entire line-up by 2030.In November, luxury carmaker Bentley, owned by Germany's Volkswagen, said its models would be all electric by 2030.Electrification is expensive for carmakers and as electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, employment in the car industry is expected to shrink.Volvo CEO Samuelsson said that industry-wide, electrification will mostly affect engine plants and auto suppliers providing everything from oil filters to fuel injectors and spark plugs.\"Those are a lot of jobs of course,\" he said. \"But overall I don't think there will be a big difference.\"Volvo said it will \"radically reduce\" the complexity of its model line-up and provide customers with transparent pricing.The carmaker's global network of 2,400 traditional bricks-and-mortar dealers will remain open to service vehicles and to help customers make online orders.So far Volvo has not been affected by a pandemic-fueled global semiconductor chip shortage that has temporarily shut a number of assembly plants, which Samuelsson said was thanks to constant communication with suppliers.\"So far, knock on wood, we have not had to stop any assembly line,\" he said. \"But it could happen any day.\"\u00a9 Thomson Reuters 2021Is Samsung Galaxy F62 the best phone under Rs. 25,000?

Musicians licenced from major labels will continue to be paid via the traditional pooled method.SoundCloud said the new payment system - known as \"fan-powered royalties\" or a \"user-centric model\" - would empower listeners and encourage greater diversity in musical styles.\u00a0\"Artists are now better equipped to grow their careers by forging deeper connections with their most dedicated fans,\" the statement said. \"Fans can directly influence how their favorite artists are paid.\"'Distortion in value'Major record labels are thought to be resistant to \"user-centric\" payments, in part because the current system allows them to generate massive profits through a relatively small number of huge stars.\u00a0A study by France's National Music Centre earlier this year found that 10 percent of all revenues from Spotify and Deezer go to just 10 artists at the very top.That has allowed the major labels to amass record revenues over the past year, just as most musicians were thrown into crisis by the cancellation of live tours due to the pandemic.\u00a0French streaming platform Deezer, which has been pushing for the user-centric system for months but has been blocked by label resistance, said SoundCloud's scheme was \"a great first step\".\u00a0\"Deezer stands ready to launch a full (user-centric payment system) pilot and we look forward to having SoundCloud on our side in convincing the labels to do it,\" chief content and strategy officer Alexander Holland told AFP.Earlier this year, label bosses told a British parliamentary commission investigating the streaming economy that it may be too complicated for platforms to shift to fan-based royalty payments.\u00a0SoundCloud, which has been trialing the new model for months, said this was exactly wrong - that its computing calculations took just 20 minutes for user-centric, compared with 23 hours for the pooled model.\u00a0\"The most important takeaway from SoundCloud's data is that none of the previous modeling has been accurate, that when you actually run a user-centric system, the rewards to artists that have an audience are significantly improved,\" said Crispin Hunt, chair of the British Ivors Academy. The Academy has been running a campaign to \"fix streaming\".\u00a0\"It proves the distortion in value that the existing model delivers,\" he said.'Interesting initiative'The French National Music Centre study, which only used data from Spotify and Deezer, found that changing to fan-based royalties would make only a slight difference to the income of smaller artists.It would take around EUR 4.5 million\u00a0(roughly Rs. 40 crores) from the top 10 but distribute it very thinly around lower tiers, it said.But SoundCloud found it made a significant difference. Using the example of an artist with 124,000 followers, it said they would see an increase in royalties from $120 (roughly Rs. 10,600) to $600 (roughly Rs. 52,800) per month.It said the overall effect was that 90 percent of royalty payouts would now be driven by 90 percent of listeners, rather than just 40 percent of listeners under the existing model.\u00a0SoundCloud said its positive data may be linked to the particular nature of its users, who tend to be \"younger and much more active\".\u00a0It was launched in Berlin in 2007 as a sort of YouTube for music, allowing anyone to upload their music, from scrappy garage band covers to dubstep DJ sets.\u00a0This made it hugely popular, with some 175 million users by 2019. But it struggled to generate revenues and landed in legal trouble over the number of unauthorised remixes and covers on the site.In 2016, it shifted strategy, signing deals with the major labels to provide a premium service with a catalogue similar to those of its rivals. But it has remained a long way off the customer numbers of Spotify, Amazon, and Deezer.Is Samsung Galaxy F62 the best phone under Rs. 25,000?

The new Outlook calendar look comes with a Board view that looks quite similar to the popular workflow management tool Trello. It lets you organise multiple calendars, tasks, goals, notes, links, reminders, and more. Alongside, Microsoft has also made it easier for you to schedule meetings with the help of its scheduling assistant on Outlook for Android and iOS.Announcing the new Board calendar view in Microsoft Outlook for the Web, Gabriel Valdez, Product Marketing Manager for Microsoft Outlook, said in a blog post, \u201cOn average, people use 6 tools to track all the things they need to get done. That is a lot of context switching, back and forth, and maybe even double tracking. Clearly, you live your life beyond the grid of your traditional calendar \u2013 Those 30-minute slots are not enough for everything you need to do, track, or achieve. There must be a better way to manage your most important and urgent things in one place, for you to organise it the way you want, in an easy to use, visual way.\u201dThe new Outlook calendar Board view, which aims to give users a Kanban-style \u201cfree form, ever-expanding board\u201d, will help declutter your calendar and reduce the time and effort in switching between apps. The new Outlook calendar Board view helps you add new information cards to ease organising meetings and your calendar. Files, notes, goals and reminder cards can be set according to the time and date of your choice. It will keep expanding the calendar as and when you need, centralising everything to keep your calendar clean and updated.Shifting to Board view is simple in Outlook's calendarPhoto Credit: Microsoft\u00a0As mentioned, the Board view calendar update will first be available for Microsoft Outlook for the Web, while commercial and educational users will get the feature eventually. There is no indication as to when the Board view will arrive on the Outlook app for Windows or Mac, or make its way to the mobile apps.Another major update that Microsoft has planned for Outlook is its capability to assist in scheduling meetings on the mobile app for Android and iOS. From this month, once you Outlook schedule a meeting with an indicated duration and time frame, the app will suggest times to reduce conflict. \u201cIf Outlook can't find a slot that works for everyone it will suggest times where your attendees are free, and you may be able to move or skip another event to accommodate. If you decide to schedule the meeting over another commitment, Outlook will then assist you with rescheduling your conflict,\u201d the blog post adds.The new Outlook for Android and iOS Scheduling Assistant feature will be available for all commercial and educational users starting the end of March..","news_source":"Gadgets360","news_website":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/","news_link":"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/internet\/news\/microsoft-outlook-calendar-board-view-scheduler-calendar-update-web-android-ios-2382631","created_date":"Wed 03, March 2021 12:00pm","full_source":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/internet\/news\/microsoft-outlook-calendar-board-view-scheduler-calendar-update-web-android-ios-2382631"},{"news_id":2621,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Amazon Prime Video Asked by Bombay High Court to Take Down Telugu Film 'V' in Defamation Case ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360162789Wed-03-03-2021-5:30:38.jpg","news_content":"The Bombay High Court has directed OTT platform Amazon to take down a Telugu movie until the makers of the film deleted a scene in which a city-based actor's photograph was allegedly used without prior permission.Justice Gautam Patel on Tuesday heard a defamation suit filed by model and actor Sakshi Malik against Venkateshwara Creations for allegedly using her photograph without permission in their movie. Malik's advocate Saveena Bedi said the scene showed Malik's photograph, referring to her as a commercial sex worker.\"Simply using another's image, and most especially a private image, without consent is prima facie impermissible, unlawful, and entirely illegal. In a given case, it may also be defamatory, depending on the type of use,\" the court said in its order. The order copy was made available on Wednesday.Top Court to Hear Amazon Prime India Head\u2019s Anticipatory Bail Plea on March 4\"The fact that the image has been illicitly used is bad enough. It only makes matters worse when used in a plainly derogatory and demeaning vein,\" Justice Patel said.The court directed OTT platform Amazon to take down the movie within 24 hours until the said scene is deleted. \"It is not acceptable for them (movie's makers) to merely pixelate or blur the images. The entire sequence, which has the image of the plaintiff (Malik), is to be removed immediately,\" Justice Patel said.Malik's advocate Bedi had argued that the actor has a huge fan following on social media and has also appeared in a few Bollywood songs.Amazon Issues Apology in Tandav Row After Complaints of Hurting Hindu BeliefsBedi argued that Malik's\u00a0photo was used illicitly by the defendant in a Telugu movie titled 'V'\u00a0that was released on Amazon on September 5, 2020. As per Malik's suit, she had commissioned a photographer in 2017 for creating a portfolio.\"In August 2017, she (Malik) posted some photographs from the portfolio on her Instagram account. One of these photos was used in a scene of the Telugu movie where there is reference to a commercial sex worker,\" Bedi said.According to the suit, this was an unauthorised invasion of privacy and unauthorised use of private material. It was defamatory to Malik that her image was used to depict her in the motion picture as an escort or commercial sex worker, it stated.Justice Patel in the order noted that the contentions raised by Malik and her lawyer were correct.\"Indeed, I do not believe there is any other way of looking at it,\" the order said.The defendant claimed that they had contracted with an agency to procure the image and had assumed that prior approval would have been taken from the woman, whose photo was to be used.The court, however, noted that this argument of the defendant seemed \"less than compelling\".\"Surely any right-thinking motion picture producer would have insisted on seeing an approval or consent by the model or person who is featured or to be featured,\" Justice Patel said, adding that this must be the standard procedure everywhere.The court said once the defendant has made the necessary alteration and deletion, the same will have to be shown to Malik and her advocate. \"Only after this, I will allow defendant 3 (Amazon) to re-release the movie,\" Justice Patel said, posting the matter for further hearing on March 8.Is Samsung Galaxy F62 the best phone under Rs. 25,000?

If you own one of those, however, you will soon be notified of a new build being available for you - T865XXU4CUB7.

Reliance Jio emerged as the biggest bidder, with Rs. 57,122.65 crores for 488.35MHz spectrum, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology said in a statement. The operator noted that with the fresh bidding, its spectrum footprint increased by 55 percent to 1711MHz and became the largest spectrum holdings in sub-GHz and 2300MHz. Bharti Airtel, on the other hand, emerged as the second biggest bidder in the auction. It acquired 355.45MHz of airwaves at Rs. 18,698.75 crores. Vodafone Idea, that operates under the brand Vi, came last with 11.80MHz spectrum at Rs. 1,993.40 crores.Through the latest spectrum auction, the government was able to garner Rs. 77,814.80 crores for the total of 855.60MHz spectrum. Incremental bids for Rs. 668.20 crores were notably made on Tuesday alone.Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vi were the only bidders for the spectrum auction 2021 that put airwaves in 700MHz, 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz, and 2300MHz bands on bidding. However, the ministry said that the participants did not bid in 700MHz and 2500MHz bands.Airtel Gained the Most Subscribers Due to Better Network in 2020: OpensignalThe government received bids for the 855.60MHz spectrum out of 2308.80MHz being put to auction this time.

The operator said that the acquired spectrum could be utilised for transition to 5G services. However, it is important to note that the latest spectrum auction was specifically for 4G bands as the government is yet to kick off a specific bidding for 5G networks.\u201cWith our increased spectrum footprint, we are ready to further expand the digital footprint in India as well as get ourselves ready for the imminent 5G rollout,\u201d said Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries.Jio Emerges as Fifth-Strongest Company Globally in Brand Finance ReportAirtel said in its statement that it acquired 355.45MHz spectrum across sub-GHz, mid-band, and 2300MHz that will cover 90 million additional customers.\u201cAirtel now has a solid spectrum portfolio that will enable it to continue delivering the best mobile broadband experience in India,\u201d said Gopal Vittal, MD & CEO (India & South Asia), Bharti Airtel.The operator also highlighted that none of the operators participating in the latest auction didn't pick the 700MHz band due to the absence of economic case based on the high reserve prices. The low-frequency band is specifically used to bolster internal cellular coverage.Jio, Vi, and Airtel eSIM: What Is It, How to Activate eSIM\u201cThe 700MHz band coupled with the 3.5GHz band has the potential to accelerate India's progress to the top league of digitally enabled nations.

For now, Android users will not be able to host spaces, but they will be able to join and talk in spaces, with hosting coming soon, according to the company.\u00a0The feature that lets users create public and private audio chat rooms on the microblogging platform was first announced in December last year. But its testing had been limited to only iOS, which is now being expanded to include Android users. Although the feature still remains under testing, the Android rollout of Twitter Spaces suggests that the new audio chat rooms feature could soon get a wider rollout.\u201cWe're expanding to give more people a chance to join Spaces and listen in! Rolling out over the next few days, people with Android will now be able to join, listen, and speak in conversations over Spaces,\u201d Twitter has said in a statement. Twitter first confirmed that it was working on getting the feature to Android users via a tweet in late January.Announcing the launch, Twitter executives stressed that these are still early days for Spaces, and also added that their first priority was building out moderation, and noted that this is the reason why they're taking a cautious approach to bringing out features like recording conversations, which could find fans among podcasters and monetising Spaces, which could make the feature much more appealing to Twitter influencers.Android folks, our beta is growing! starting today you will be able to join and talk in any Space. SOON you'll be able to create your own but we're still working out some things. keep your ? out for live Spaces above your home tl\u2014 Spaces (@TwitterSpaces) March 2, 2021Last month, the testing of Twitter Spaces was expanded to 3,000 iOS users from the 1,000 that were initially roped in to try out the new feature. While only the beta testers could create public or private audio rooms, any of their followers on iOS could join in to the Spaces that were created,\u00a0to get a sense of how the feature works.Twitter is considering bringing Spaces to the Web interface too, but this is just one of the many features that it is looking at, including user interface changes that could make it easier to make use of different features. However, there's no timeline given at this point.\u00a0Other features, such as its captions feature are also evolving, to improve accessibility to the platform, it said.Twitter has said that Spaces will be rolled out to select Android users over the coming weeks. \u201cKeep an eye out for the purple aura in your fleetline and tap to join. You can also join Spaces via a link shared with you (via Tweets, DMs). People on Android can also use emoji reactions, view captions, and be invited to speak in a Space,\u201d the company said. \u201cOther updates to come include the ability to see more of who's in your Space as well as naming your Space to add context for new joiners.\u201d It also confirmed that this will not be restricted to any region.The feature rivals the concept of Clubhouse, the invite-only social media platform only on iOS, which is meant for users to engage in voice chats rather than post text messages. The app recently crossed 10 million downloads globally within a year of its launch, according to a Sensor Tower report.Twitter has been competing with Clubhouse by consistently launching more audio-focussed features on its platform. It rolled out voice DMs (direct messages) last month in India, Brazil, and Japan. The company had first introduced audio messaging on its platform with voice tweets for iOS users in June last year. It had said in November that it was working hard to make it available to Android users soon.What will be the most exciting tech launch of 2021?

The first phones with AMD GPUs may not arrive until next year, but there\u2019s no official time line for any of this yet.You\u2019re probably thinking that these Exynos\/AMD chipsets will power smartphones (and they probably will), but Samsung may be working on a Windows 10 laptop as well. According to ZDNet Korea a laptop with the Exynos 2200 will be unveiled in Q3, some time after the Galaxy Note launch. Previous Windows-on-ARM laptops from Samsung have used Qualcomm chipsets.The third chipset, the mid-range one, may have been spotted yesterday. Galaxy Club reports that a chip with model number S5E5515 is in the works.

Today\u2019s Unbox & Discover event brought yet more models, including some for the artistic crowd and some for your back porch.micro-LEDSamsung introduced its first micro-LED TV back in 2018 \u2013 the humongous 146\u201d TV (or bigger, depending on the configuration) dubbed The Wall. Now that the technology has matured the company has prepared three models more suitable for your average home.Two micro-LED TVs \u2013 110\u201d and 99\u201d \u2013 will launch globally at the end of March, followed by a smaller 88\u201d model coming in the Fall. A (not really) tiny 76\u201d model is on the cards as well, but there\u2019s no concrete launch time frame.The micro-LED TVs feature 4Vue (quad view), which allows them to work as four smaller TVs showing content from four independent sources simultaneously.Neo QLEDSamsung has divided its Neo QLED lineup in two series \u2013 the 8K models (QN800A and QN900A) and the 4K models (QN90A and QN85A). The 8K ones will be available in 85\u201d, 75\u201d and 65\u201d and will cost you between $5,000 to $9,000. The 4K ones will start at 50\u201d and range from $1,600 to $5,000.Microsoft chose Samsung as the Official TV Partner for the Xbox Series X in the US and Canada. To that end, Samsung worked with AMD to create the first TVs with Freesync Premium Pro support for consoles and PCs. The Neo QLED TVs can run at 120 fps with a response time of 5.8 ms.The Super Ultrawide Gameview mode puts the TV in an ultra wide aspect ratio similar to a gaming monitor. If you need finer control, the Game Bar feature will allow you to adjust the aspect ratio, check input lag, connect a wireless headset and more.Besides gaming, Samsung sees these TVs as exercise tools too \u2013 the Smart Trainer can use an optional camera (and AI) to analyze your posture and provide realtime feedback as you follow along with instructional videos.By the way, a few months ago Microsoft was saying that LG TVs are the best way to experience HDR games on the Xbox Series X.The FrameThe Frame TV has been improved. This artsy model is perched on an easel, but with the 2021 version you can use the Slim Fit Wall Mount (with five bezel options) to hang it up like a painting.Speaking of which, the new model has 6 GB of storage for imagery (up from 0.5 GB), so it can store 1,200 photos in UHD quality. Samsung has partnered with the NAVA Contemporary, Etsy and others to offer a growing library of over 1,400 pieces of art you can display on The Frame. An AI will learn what kind of art you like and offer suggestions.The TerraceThe Terrace is Samsung\u2019s first outdoor TV. It is weather-resistant with an IP55 rating to protect it against water and dust. It is available in 55\u201d and 65\u201d sizes, plus the 75\u201d Full Sun model (meant for use in direct sunlight it packs a brighter panel).The PremiereNot a TV but the industry\u2019s first triple laser projector with 4K resolution. It has a minimalist design with rounded edges and a fabric exterior and it needs to be only 5\u201d away from the wall. Samsung will offer rollable screens for The Premiere later this year.Interactive displayThe Samsung Interactive Display FLIP 75\u201d is a digital whiteboard. It can be used in offices and classrooms by students or teams of up to 20. Previously, Samsung offered 85\u201d, 65\u201d and 55\u201d models.AudioSamsung unveiled the 2021 line-up of Q Series soundbars with Q-Symphony tech.

Kuo has also predicted that the iPhone 13 Pro models, while preserving the notch design, will come with a 120Hz ProMotion display \u2014 the one that has so far been featured on the iPad Pro models. Kuo's latest series of predictions also talks about the iPhone SE 5G model planned for 2022, no favour for a USB Type-C iPhone model in the near future, and a foldable iPhone speculated for 2023.The note, as reported by AppleInsider, speculates that the iPhone 13 Pro successor will be Apple's main iPhone release to abandon the notch and \u201cadopt\u201d the hole-punch display design. This could be similar to what has already been a part of many Android smartphones, including the latest Samsung Galaxy flagships.Apple may expand the hole-punch display design across all its iPhone models after an initial adoption on the iPhone 13 Pro replacement aka iPhone 14 Pro in 2022 \u2014 depending on production yield.iPhone 13 May Have Up to 1TB Internal Storage, Improved LiDAR SensorsIn addition to the hole-punch design, the iPhone 14 models are also expected to have an upgraded selfie camera at the front, with autofocus support.Kuo also reportedly foresees that Apple is planning to bring iPhone SE 3 or iPhone SE (2022) model with 5G support. This new addition is believed to boost 5G replacement demand. Further, the new iPhone SE is also expected to have an upgraded processor. A recently surfaced render also suggested a hole-punch display design on iPhone SE 3.In a separate report, AppleInsider mentioned that Kuo's latest note also talks about Apple's plans to not bring USB Type-C iPhone models anytime in the near future. This is unlike the predictions about new iPhone models with a USB Type-C port that exist for quite some time.Apple May Introduce a Magnetic Battery Pack That Charges iPhones Wirelessly\u201cWe believe that USB-C is detrimental to the MFi business's profitability, and its waterproof specification is lower than Lightning and MagSafe,\u201d he said in the note, as quoted by AppleInsider.Instead of going for a USB Type-C model, Kuo predicts that Apple may directly adopt the rumoured portless design with MagSafe support. It is, however, also noted that since the MagSafe ecosystem that Apple introduced for its iPhone lineup just last year is yet to be matured, the company is likely to continue to use the Lightning port on its iPhone models in the foreseeable future.Kuo also predicted that Apple isn't expected to integrate a Touch ID sensor into the power button of its new iPhone models.Apple Hiring Engineers to Develop 6G Wireless\u201cWe believe that the iPhone will significantly improve the user experience if it adopts the power button with the Touch ID sensor,\u201d the analyst reportedly said. \u201cHowever, currently, there is no visibility on the timing of adopting this new specification.\u201dThe comeback of Touch ID has been anticipated especially in the current times when people are wearing masks that's making it difficult for them to instantly unlock the iPhone using Face ID. Some recent reports also suggested in-display Touch ID support on the next-generation iPhone models. However, Apple may take some time to decide whether it's feasible to go for a technology that's already available on many Android phones nowadays.Interestingly, a USB Type-C design and a Touch ID-integrated power button both are already available on recent iPad models.iPhone 13 mini (Or iPhone 12s mini) Tipped to Be in the Works for 2021Kuo's note also reportedly mentions details about the iPhone 13 models, that are expected to be unveiled later this year and are also in the rumour mill as the iPhone 12s series. The analyst predicts that the iPhone 13 family \u2014 or simply the 2021 iPhone \u2014 would comprise four models just like the iPhone 12 models. There will be a thinner notch, and the Pro models are forecast to have 120Hz ProMotion display backed by an LPTO panel.The Pro models are also said to have an upgraded six-piece ultra-wide camera with a wide f\/1.8 aperture and autofocus support. This seems an update over the six-piece f\/2.4 fixed-focus camera available on the iPhone 12.Kuo reportedly mentioned in his note that the 2021 iPhone models might be slightly heavier, due to the potential of featuring larger battery capacity. The new series is also likely to come with a \u201cspace-saving design\u201d that would include an integrated SIM card slot and a thinner selfie camera module.iPhone 13 Pro Models Tipped to Always Show Clock, Battery IconsThe analyst also predicts that Apple may launch a 7.5 to 8-inch foldable iPhone sometime in 2023 by fixing production issues with the technology in 2021. Some patent images suggested the design of the foldable iPhone surfaced in the recent past.Kuo is also predicted that Apple could unveil a new 6-inch iPhone in 2023 as an upgrade to the iPhone 11, with an LCD screen, Face ID, and a sub-$600 (roughly Rs. 44,000) price tag. The company is also believed to have a flagship iPhone in 2023 with an in-display fingerprint sensor, periscope telephoto camera, and a \u201creal full-screen design\u201d experience that may not include any holes or notches..","news_source":"Gadgets360","news_website":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/","news_link":"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/mobiles\/news\/iphone-13-14-pro-hole-punch-design-usb-c-touch-id-se-3-2022-5g-foldable-apple-ming-chi-kuo-2381727","created_date":"Tue 02, March 2021 12:01pm","full_source":"https:\/\/gadgets360.com\/https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/mobiles\/news\/iphone-13-14-pro-hole-punch-design-usb-c-touch-id-se-3-2022-5g-foldable-apple-ming-chi-kuo-2381727"},{"news_id":2586,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Google Workspace Being Refreshed to Better Assist Frontline and Remote Workers ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360400945Tue-02-03-2021-5:31:05.jpg","news_content":"Google is updating its productivity software to better meet the needs of frontline and remote workers, in a bet that the pandemic has permanently changed how work gets done.A version of the company's Workspace offering will be tailored specifically for frontline workers, such as retail and health-care employees, the Alphabet\u00a0unit said in a blog post Monday. The effort will let organisations better communicate and collaborate with employees through their mobile phones, and is similar to a service from rival Microsoft.Workspace, formerly known as G Suite, will also integrate with Google's digital voice assistant and gain features to let employees set and enforce unique working hours.Google Chat Getting Redesigned on Web for All Workspace Users: ReportThe Internet giant is trying to make its line of productivity tools, including Gmail, Meet videoconferencing, and Docs word processing, essential to businesses that have been upended by the coronavirus pandemic. Employees have had to balance professional and family demands while doing their jobs from home for the last year, spurring a rise in unconventional work hours and other flexible arrangements.Javier Soltero, vice president and general manager of Workspace, said Google was trying to embrace the \u201cmessiness\u201d of work life during the pandemic. \u201cIt will never be the same again, but we should use that as an opportunity rather than try to recreate 2018 or 2019,\u201d he added.With the changes, Workspace will notify employees if they try to message a colleague who's off the clock, and encourage them to time an email for when the co-worker is back online. It's also possible to minimise distractions for periods of time, share employee locations with colleagues, and set up recurring out-of-office messages. Google Assistant will now work with corporate Workspace accounts, letting people send messages and check calendars with their voice.While Workspace has 2.6 billion users, the suite is free for individuals.

The 47-year-old British actress, best known for playing Ellaria Sand on Game of Thrones and the co-lead in Mira Nair's Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, has reportedly been cast in Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Star Wars prequel series set 10 years after Star Wars: Episode III \u2013 Revenge of the Sith. There's no word on Varma's Star Wars character as of yet. Varma joins Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen on the Obi-Wan Kenobi cast; the two are reprising their respective roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker \/ Darth Vader.Deadline first brought word of Varma's casting in Obi-Wan Kenobi, with its sister publication Variety backing its claims shortly after. Neither Disney (that owns Star Wars maker Lucasfilm) nor Varma's representatives were available for comment. Varma made her film debut with Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love and starred in 13 Game of Thrones episodes. She was also part of HBO's Rome, ITV's Paranoid, Gurinder Chadha's Bride and Prejudice, and Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings. Currently, she's part of the main cast on Amazon's Carnival Row, and ABC's For Life (available on SonyLIV in India).Obi-Wan Kenobi has had a bit of trouble during production, at times due to no fault of its own. The Star Wars series was originally envisioned as a standalone film, in the mould of Rogue One and Solo: A Star Wars Story, but the latter's critical and commercial failure doomed its big-screen hopes. After it was turned into a Disney+ series, it ended up in the hands of writer Hossein Amini (Drive). But Lucasfilm was apparently unhappy with the scripts \u2014 and started from scratch with Joby Harold (King Arthur: Legend of the Sword).Rian Johnson\u2019s Star Wars Trilogy Is Still \u2018Happening\u2019: ReportThe one constant since Obi-Wan Kenobi became a Disney+ series has been Deborah Chow (The Mandalorian), who will direct Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes and serve as an executive producer. The Mandalorian's global success has enamoured everyone involved at Lucasfilm. The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni are in charge of expanding the Star Wars cinematic universe, starting with The Book of Boba Fett (premiering December), and then onto Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic.But that's not all. Lucasfilm is developing several other Star Wars series, including Andor about Rogue One's Cassian Andor from Tony Gilroy, Lando about Lando Calrissian from Dear White People's Justin Simien, The Acolyte from Russian Doll's Leslye Headland, and three animated series in Star Wars: The Bad Batch (premiering May 4), anthology Star Wars: Visions, and A Droid Story that follows R2-D2 and C-3PO.

The government told the company it wants the information within 30 days.Google Workspace Being Refreshed for Remote Work FutureThe request suggests the DOJ wants to compare how Google presented search results and ads six years ago versus one year ago. That could help the government understand how the company's grip on the search market evolved over time.The Justice Department under former US President Donald Trump and 11 Republican attorneys general originally filed the suit. Three other states have since joined, including California, the site of Google's headquarters. The latest data request shows the government is pressing ahead under a new administration led by Democrat Joe Biden.The DOJ and Google have tussled in court over evidence discovery in the case, with the government seeking communications about the company's market share, a partnership with Apple, and competition between Google and Apple's device operating systems. Google has said the government's requests are too broad.Google Call May Be the New Name for Phone by Google AppThe US government alleges Google's exclusive deals to distribute its search engine on browsers and phones, including Apple's iPhones, violates the Sherman Act's prohibition on monopolisation. It's the most significant US monopoly case since the one against Microsoft more than 20 years ago.Google has said its deals don't prevent consumers from switching to other search providers.

The latest spectrum auction by the government comes five years after the last auction, which took place in 2016. Instead of bringing airwaves for 5G networks, the government decided to place the auction for 4G networks \u2014 specifically in 700MHz, 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz, 2300MHz, and 2500MHz bands.Exceeding pre-bid estimates of Rs. 45,000 crores, the government attracted provisional winning bids of Rs. 77,146 crores in total during the first day of the spectrum auction 2021. As much as 2308.80MHz spectrum is being put up for bidding, of which bids for 849.20MHz \u2014 or over 36 percent of the total spectrum \u2014 were received on the first day.Nearly 65 percent of the 800MHz and 89 percent of the 2300MHz spectrum were sold on the first day of the auction, as per an official press release. The government was also able to sell 38 percent of the airwaves offered in the 900MHz, 41 percent in the 1800MHz, and nine percent in the 2100MHz band. However, the participating telcos didn't show any interest in the 700MHz and 2500MHz bands on day one of the spectrum auction 2021.Jio Phone Data Plans Introduced for Subscribers, Packs Start From Rs. 22The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology said in a press statement that excluding spectrum in 700MHz and 2500MHz bands, the total bids received so far in the auction stand at almost 60 percent of the available spectrum.Although actual details will be available upon the conclusion of the spectrum auction, Reliance Jio, which had made the highest earnest money deposit (EMD) of Rs. 10,000 crores, is speculated to be a leading bidder for the 800MHz spectrum. The Mumbai-based telco majorly requires the airwaves for its 4G networks as the spectrum it acquired from Reliance Communications is expiring.Airtel had paid Rs. 3,000 crores in EMD and is expected to use the latest spectrum auction to acquire the airwaves it needs to strengthen its 4G connectivity in the country. However, Vodafone Idea, which operates through its Vi\u00a0brand, had paid Rs. 475 crores and is not likely to get much from the latest auction.Airtel Added 4.05 Million Wireless Subscribers in December 2020: TRAIThe amount of EMD that participants pay indicates their interest as well as the ability to acquire the airwaves during the auction. Higher payment usually translates to higher chances of obtaining any certain spectrum.Spectrum assigned to the successful bidders will be valid for 20 years, the government said in the statement.Telecom operators participating in the spectrum auction 2021, which is taking place online, will be required to pay 25 percent of the final bid amount as upfront payment in 700MHz, 800MHz, and 900MHz bands. In the rest of the bands, bidders will have to make 50 percent of the final bid amount upfront. The balance amount will be payable in 16 equated annual instalments after a moratorium of two years.India Dropped Further in Global Mobile Internet Speeds in January: Ookla Government Approves Over Rs 12000-Crore Manufacturing Push for Telecom The spectrum auction 2021 is expected to be one of the shortest auctions; it could be concluded on Tuesday itself.

We just so happened to receive a stealthy Carbon Gray Redmi 9T unit and these are our first impressions as we begin work on our review.For starters, the phone feels thick (9.6mm) and heavy (198 grams) as was to be expected with that kind of battery capacity. The back is made from plastic and features a groovy texture that helps with the grip and keeps smudges at bay. The sides are plastic and unlocking the phone is done from the fingerprint scanner on the right-hand side.The 6.53-inch IPS LCD is decent indoors but is rather poor when viewed in direct sunlight.The box comes with a clear silicon case, 18W charger and USB cable. Mind you that the Redmi 9T can also serve as a proper power bank with its reverse wired charging capabilities.Around the back, we have a triple camera setup with a 48MP main snapper alongside an 8MP ultrawide camera and two 2MP modules for macro shots and depth data. Shots from the main shooter come out sharp and detailed while the ultrawide shots are seemingly less impressive.Performance from the Snapdragon 662 chipset is decent for everyday use. Even though it's a 2021 phone, the Redmi 9T boots Android 10 with MIUI 12 on top which is a bit of a letdown. On the opposite side we were impressed with the loud audio output coming from the stereo speakers.So the Redmi 9T is an affordable phone with a huge battery, decent cameras and familiar looks. Is it a match for other similarly spec'd phones like the Poco M3 and Moto G9 Power?

In 2019, the brand showcased its first 64MP quad cam phone using Samsung\u2019s ISOCELL Bright GW1 module and this year we get to see the first 108MP camera which will debut with the upcoming Realme 8 series. The sensor in question isSamsung\u2019s ISOCELL HM2 with 9 to 1 pixel binning tech and up to 3x lossless zoom.The ISOCELL HM2 is a 1\/1.52\u201d sensor with 0.7 \u03bcm pixel size and Super-PD autofocus. It can shoot stills at up to 12000x9000 pixel resolution and record videos up to 4K@120 fps. Realme has developed several custom optimizations to the sensor which will be present on the upcoming Realme 8 Pro.Realme 8 Pro 3x zoom sampleThe 3x in-sensor lossless zoom helps preserve details and colors without over-sharpening by taking 12MP photos and mapping the zoomed area. The image processing here is tweaked to take eight consecutive 12MP shots which are then enhanced with the aid of an algorithm to increase clarity. Realme claims this process is superior to that of some telephoto modules in terms of sharpness.The 108MP sensor also comes with a new Starry Mode for astrophotography time-lapse videos. Traditionally these forms of videos are made by recording multiple clips with professional cameras which are then edited on a computer. Realme is substituting the process by implementing its own time-lapse video algorithm. It shoots 30 photos across 480 seconds (8 minutes) which then results in a 1s time-lapse video and the process is repeated for the desired end result.Another Realme addition to the ISOCELL HM2 is Tilt-shift time-lapse video which uses an algorithm to capture tilt-shift photos and videos. These shots simulate a miniature world by keeping parts of the image out of focus. The new camera mode will allow you to select the angle, position and bokeh size directly from the camera settings and will also be able to add transition effects between blurred and clear areas. The Realme 8 Pro will be the first smartphone with tilt-shift video capture.Realme is also bringing new portrait filters including Neon Portrait, Dynamic Bokeh Portrait, and AI Color Portrait.New portrait modesLast but not least we get a teaser of the Realme 8 Pro's back with its four camera sensors sitting ona square island. The back has a slight curvature and Dare to Leap branding with a satin-like finish.","news_source":"GSMarena","news_website":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/","news_link":"realme_details_108mp_camera_-news-48005.php","created_date":"Tue 02, March 2021 12:00pm","full_source":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/realme_details_108mp_camera_-news-48005.php"},{"news_id":2560,"news_category":1,"news_title":"Xiaomi CEO confirms Super AMOLED displays for Note 10 series","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/GSMarena366960Tue-02-03-2021-5:30:09.jpg","news_content":"After plenty of speculation, Xiaomi India CEO Manu Kumar Jain finally confirmed that the upcoming Redmi Note 10 series will feature Super AMOLED displays.

The Snapdragon 888-powered flagship retains first place, despite a slight decline in average points.The vivo X60 Pro+ mounted a strong challenge and lost by the slimmest of margins - just 14 points. As averages shift, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see the X60 on top next month. Note that AnTuTu rankings are based on the average of multiple results rather than the best individual score. As more sample points are gathered the average shifts slightly.Another newcomer, the Redmi K40 Pro, got into third place, just ahead of its sibling, the Xiaomi Mi 11. If you\u2019ve been keeping score, that\u2019s four Snapdragon 888 phones at the front. And it\u2019s all Snapdragon down the list with the sole exception of the Kirin 9000-powered Huawei Mate 40 Pro in 5th.One chipset we\u2019ve been curious to see is the Snapdragon 870 \u2013 a souped up 865. The Redmi K40 rode the 870 to seventh place, ahead of older 865 models, but behind the new 888 ones. This is pretty much where this chipset wants to be, an option for the not quite top of the line flagships.Moving on to the mid-ranger charts, the Redmi 10X 5G and Redmi 10X Pro 5G retain their leading positions with the vanilla model extending its lead over the Pro. Third place was won by the new vivo S7t. All phones in the Top 3 are powered by the Dimensity 820.This pushes the Huawei nova 7 5G and nova 7 Pro 5G down a place (the Pro managed to edge out its vanilla sibling, it was behind it last month). Both novas are examples of Kirin 985-powered phones. In fact, the 985 powers the phones down to 8th place where another Kirin shows up in a couple of Honor phones.","news_source":"GSMarena","news_website":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/","news_link":"iqoo_7_retains_first_place_in_antutus_rankings_for_february_snapdragon_870_makes_first_appearance-news-48006.php","created_date":"Tue 02, March 2021 12:00pm","full_source":"https:\/\/gsmarena.com\/iqoo_7_retains_first_place_in_antutus_rankings_for_february_snapdragon_870_makes_first_appearance-news-48006.php"},{"news_id":2558,"news_category":1,"news_title":" Reliance Partners With Google, Facebook for Digital Payment Network Bid: Report ","news_image":"https:\/\/stillkonfuzed.com\/NewsGrabber\/downloads\/Gadgets360829892Tue-02-03-2021-5:31:34.jpg","news_content":"India's conglomerate Reliance Industries has partnered with Facebook, Google, and fintech player Infibeam to set up a national digital payment network, said a report that came out\u00a0on Saturday, citing unnamed sources.Last year, India's central bank invited companies to forge new umbrella entities (NUEs) to create a payments network that would rival the system operated by the National Payments Council of India (NPCI), as it seeks to reduce concentration risks in the space.Set up in 2008, NPCI is a not-for-profit company, which as of March 2019 counted dozens of banks as its shareholders, including the State Bank of India, Citibank, and HSBC. It processes billions of dollars in payments daily via services that include inter-bank fund transfers, ATM transactions, and digital payments.Facebook to Buy 9.99 Percent Stake in Reliance JioCiting three unnamed sources, the report said\u00a0that the group led by Reliance and Infibeam was in the advanced stages of submitting their proposal to the Reserve Bank of India.A spokesperson for Infibeam declined comment on the report, saying the company was bound by the confidentiality of process, while Reliance, Google, and Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Digital payments in India could rise to $135.2 billion (roughly Rs. 9,94,100 crores) in 2023, according to an Assocham-PWC India study in 2019.Facebook and Google are already partnered with Reliance and own stakes in Jio Platforms - the unit which houses Reliance's music, movie apps, and telecoms venture.The RBI this week extended the deadline for all parties to submit NUE applications until March 31 from February 26.The report said RBI is expected to take another six months to study all the proposals being submitted and that it is not expected to give more than two new \"for-profit\" NUE licences.The RBI did not respond to a request for comment.Earlier media reports have said other parties in the fray include a group led by Amazon and ICICI Bank; another combination led by the country's salt-to-software conglomerate Tata Group and private lender HDFC Bank; and a venture involving India's largest mobile payment platform, Paytm, domestic ride-sharing company Ola, and IndusInd Bank.\u00a9 Thomson Reuters 2021\u00a0Is Samsung Galaxy F62 the best phone under Rs. 25,000?

Mi 11 Ultra is expected to be the top-end version of the Mi 11 series of smartphones.In the tweet, Yadav says that the evidence of Xiaomi's 50-megapixel camera smartphone is found in MIUI camera app. It could be possible that the image is a part of a list that shows the resolution of sensors that Xiaomi is working on. Xiaomi hasn't released any official statement on Mi 11 Ultra.Earlier this month, an instance of the rumoured Mi 11 Ultra's name came up in a YouTube video that showed black and white colour variants of the phone. The video, that was quickly taken down, showed a large camera module that housed three sensors. The uploader claimed that the trio of sensors on Mi 11 Ultra includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel sensor with a wide-angle lens, and a 48-megapixel periscopic telephoto zoom lens.

The documents, the letter said, \"have revealed that Amazon is doing business in India with the strategy of deftly dodging the regulators and politicians\".AIMRA urged the government to \"suspend all Amazon activities in India\" until there is an investigation into the company's practices.Amazon says it doesn't give preferential treatment to any seller on its marketplace and has always complied with Indian law.Amazon India Responds to Report on Secret Strategy to Dodge RegulatorsAmazon and Modi's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.Indian retailers, a crucial part of Modi's support base, have long alleged that Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart flout federal regulations and that their business practices hurt small traders. The companies, which run the two biggest e-commerce platforms in India, deny the allegations.The Amazon documents reviewed by Reuters showed the company helped a small number of sellers prosper on its website, discounted their fees and helped one cut special deals with big tech manufacturers such as Apple.Some 35 of Amazon's more than 400,000 sellers in India in early 2019 accounted for around two-thirds of its online sales, the documents also showed.AIMRA said in its letter the government should cap a single seller's daily smartphone sales on Amazon and Flipkart at Rs. 5 lakhs.The group also alleges the US\u00a0firms promoted sales on their platforms through preferred sellers, asking the government to investigate tie-ups between smartphone brands and these sellers.Flipkart did not respond to a request for comment. In the special report published last month, Amazon said in a statement that it was helping small businesses in India and that it \"treats all sellers in a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner\".Brick-and-mortar retailers have said they're struggling to compete with the tech giants as online smartphone sales boom.
