The Xiaomi 13 Lite is the Xiaomi Civi 2 rebranded, which was released in October of last year and the phone has a new name now that it has been rebranded for the international market. Now coming to one of the most interesting features called Dynamic Island.
This feature made its debut on the iPhone 14 Pro series and shook the world. And, as soon as the feature became widely available, it was obvious that Android would follow suit. There are already apps for bringing Dynamic Island to your Android.
The phone is still unavailable in global markets, but we expect Xiaomi to introduce the Xiaomi 13 Lite, along with the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro, at the upcoming MWC 2023.

In terms of hardware, the Xiaomi 13 Lite features a 6.55-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 20-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, and a 20-megapixel macro camera. On the front, there will be two 32-megapixel cameras.
The most notable distinction between the actual Dynamic Island and this Dynamic Island-shaped camera housing is that, at the time of writing, Xiaomi had not developed software capable of performing all of the tricks that Apple’s implementation could.
SRK vs Prabhas: Is Pathaan going to beat the record of Bahubali 2? there lies a big question mark. A few months ago every cine-goers and trade analyst was worried that whether Bollywood can again produce a blockbuster movie or not like KGF 2 and Bahubali 2. But unfortunately, this year SRK’s new movie Pathaan was released and made a blockbuster.
It has shockingly broken the record of KGF 2 in the race for the highest-grosser movie. Previously, Bahubali: Chapter 2 currently holds that throne by earning whooping Rs. 515 crores. And KGF: Chapter 2 which earned Rs. 435 crores is in the second position. But now, after the release of the movie Pathaan, till the 7th of February as per the reports concerned, it has earned Rs 430 crores only from the Hindi version itself. It indirectly indicates that till now it has broken the record of KGF2.
SRK vs Prabhas: Is Pathaan going to beat the record of Bahubali 2?
The real question that still lies is SRK vs Prabhas, whether Pathaan is going to beat the record of Bahubali 2 or not? Bahubali 2 is holding the position of the Highest grosser Hindi film for almost five years and become the highest-grossing Hindi language film in India.
The way in which Pathaan is moving forward at the box office it seems that it is not so difficult to break the record of Bahubali 2 as it only needs another 85-90 crores for its kitty to finally wear the crown of ‘Highest grossing Hindi film of all time’. But it’s also not too simple. It needs to overcome a few obstacles to achieve this goal.
The first obstacle is the competition from other big releases. SRK’s movie had a free run at the ticket window as there was no big release in the last couple of weeks, but this free run is going to end soon as two big and highly anticipated films are scheduled to release next week on 17th February 2023 starring Kartik Aryan, Kriti Sanon for the movie Shehzada and MCU’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Both these two films will take the most number of screens, hence if Pathaan has to sit on the throne of the Highest grosser Hindi film of all time, it needs to achieve that goal before 17th February 2023.
Another obstacle in achieving this goal is easy access to all important key plot details of Pathaan on social media and the internet. And to make matters worse Boycott Bollywood gang is intentionally spreading spoilers on social media. In spy thriller films, important twist and turn and mysteries are major points of enjoyment. But because now all the important key plot details of the film are already available at your fingertips, there is some chance that people might not be too eager to visit the theatre to watch Pathaan anymore.
The Indian women’s cricket team secured their second victory in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 by beating the West Indies by 6 wickets. The match was held on February 15, 2023, at the Newlands in Cape Town. This win will boost India’s chances of making it to the semi-finals of the tournament.
The Indian women cricket team has started the Women’s T20 World Cup with two consecutive wins after beating West Indies in their second match of the tournament. The West Indies won the toss and elected to bat, but Indian bowlers put up a disciplined performance to restrict them to 118 for six in 20 overs.
Deepti Sharma was the most successful bowler for India, taking three wickets for 15 runs, while Pooja Vastrakar and Renuka Singh took one apiece. India had a rocky start as they lost their top three batters within the first seven overs but then the duo of Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh came together and added a match-winning fifty runs for the fifth wicket. India won the match by six wickets.
Here’s a recap of the India vs West Indies Women’s T20 World Cup match:
Toss and first innings: West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews won the toss and elected to bat. However, the team struggled to build a solid partnership, losing some initial wickets. Stafanie Taylor, however, played a good innings of 42 off 40 balls. The team was restricted at 118/6, thanks to Deepti Sharma’s three-wicket haul.
India’s innings: India started their run chase strong, with Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana scoring 28 runs in the first two overs from the pacers. However, the team found it difficult to score once the spinners came into play. Mandhana was dismissed playing a rash shot, and Jemimah Rodrigues couldn’t carry her form from the last game into this match. When Shafali Verma was dismissed, it looked like the West Indies might find a way back into the game.
Partnership between Kaur and Ghosh: Harmanpreet Kaur got together with Richa Ghosh and added 72 runs for the fourth wicket, taking their team close to the finish line. Kaur did give her wicket away, but Ghosh, who remained unbeaten at 44, showed how much she has matured as a cricketer. She finished things off in style with a four and took India to victory.
Key performers: For West Indies, Taylor played a good knock of 42 runs, while Karishma Ramharack claimed two wickets for 14 runs in her four overs. For India, Deepti Sharma’s three-wicket haul was crucial, and Kaur and Ghosh’s partnership helped the team secure the win.
West Indies’ woes: This was the West Indies’ eighth consecutive loss to India and their 15th consecutive T20I loss. The team now faces a massive challenge to stay in the tournament, with their World Cup dreams now lying in the balance after their second defeat in as many games.
India started their Women’s T20 World Cup campaign with a thrilling seven-wicket win over Pakistan. They chased down a target of 150 in 19 overs, powered by Jemimah Rodrigues’ sparkling half-century. The team had a perfect start with two wins in two matches, and their next fixture is against England, which will be a much tougher challenge. The Indian team is hopeful of carrying their momentum and securing another win against the 2018 champions. The team will have to play their best cricket to secure another victory and strengthen their chances of making it to the semi-finals.
India’s victory over West Indies was a much-needed boost for the team, and they will be looking to carry this momentum forward in the tournament. The team has some tough challenges ahead, but if they play to their potential, they can definitely make it to the semi-finals and even beyond!
Manchester City take on Arsenal in one of the most awaited matches of the current season. With 22 games played, this could be an early title decider if Mikel Arteta can defeat his former mentor.
On the other hand, Pep Guardiola could bring his side right back into the race for the Premier League title with a win. But it will not be easy considering the form that the North London side has shown throughout this season.
Manchester City vs Arsenal: Premier League preview
Thomas Partey has been ruled out of the fixture for Arsenal due to injury, which will be a big blow. However, Jorginho could step up in midfield for his new club.
Arsenal last beat Man City in the league in December 2015.
Manchester City will have the services of Erling Haaland, who has been cleared for the match. The Norwegian came off early in their recent win over Aston Villa, amidst speculation that he was injured. However, the team decided simply not to risk him for the big game ahead. And he is expected to lead the line as he has been doing for the majority of the season.
City have been quite patchy this season, which is quite unusual considering how dominant they have been in recent years. On the other hand, Arsenal have also slipped up in the last few weeks with a defeat and a draw.
Regardless of the constraints that surround the battle, it promises to be an entertaining and tense clash between two of the best in the division this year. And it could prove to be the game that decides the Premier League title very early.

Instagram, a well-known social media platform, also provides an online shopping and other functions. Live shopping will soon be removed from the social media platform owned by Meta, according to a recent announcement. In their live broadcasts, users can tag things using Instagram’s live shopping feature. The business amended its official blog article to inform readers that as of March 16, this functionality will no longer be accessible to users. Previously, Facebook also had access to this feature. In October 2022, the social media juggernaut took this function off of Facebook.
The firm announced this on its page that starting on March 16, 2023, users won’t be able to mention products in live streams on Instagram. This adjustment will enable them to concentrate on features and services that are most beneficial to their users.
Instagram will no longer offer live shopping
When products become live on Instagram, this functionality enables verified companies and creators to tag products. Viewers can use live shopping to purchase or save items that are added to the live video. Businesses were able to use this function to demonstrate how to use products, offer reviews or suggestions for products, and even respond to inquiries from their audience. Users can communicate directly with their followers on Instagram live.
These capabilities allow businesses to inform their customers about new items and promotions. Live shopping can also be used to promote the sales of goods or joint venture products. According to the firm, it will keep funding “shopping experiences for people and companies across the feed, stories, Reels, advertisements, and more.” Instagram users will still be able to set up and manage their businesses on social media networks even without the live shopping function. Other live broadcasting capabilities will not be impacted, according to Instagram. The ability to plan a live broadcast, invite visitors to the live broadcasts, and conduct a live Q&A are all included in this.
With 470 aircraft ordered from Boeing and Airbus, Air India is demonstrating the growing need for greater mobility in a country with a booming middle class. 220 Boeing aircraft worth $34 billion are on order by Air India. 20 Boeing 787s, 10 Boeing 777Xs, and 190 Boeing 737 Max aircraft are among the orders. Along with the 290 aircraft for a total of $45.9 billion at list price, the acquisition also includes customer options for a further 50 737 MAXs and 20 of its 787s. The transaction ranks second in terms of volume and is Boeing’s third-largest ever in terms of monetary value.
According to President Joe Biden, this purchase will sustain nearly 1 million American employment across 44 states, many of which will not need a 4-year college degree, and he is looking forward to furthering his relationship with Prime Minister Modi as they continue to address common global concerns to build a more prosperous and secure future for all of their inhabitants. The strength of the economic links between the India and the US is highlighted by this news.
India’s biggest-ever Aircraft purchase!
On February 14, 2023, Air India placed an order for 250 Airbus passenger planes. In a videoconference with French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tata Sons Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran announced that the airline is purchasing 210 additional narrow-body A320neo aircraft along with the 40 wide-body A350 Airbus aircraft. The deal’s financial details, which might be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, were not disclosed by Toulouse, France-based Airbus. In the video call, Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus, remarked, “Today is a historic moment for India, for Air India, and for Airbus.” Dimensions of the order “demonstrate the Indian aviation industry’s desire for expansion. It has the world’s quickest rate of growth.”
By enhancing its operations and updating its aircraft, Air India, the second-largest domestic and international airline in India, aims to redefine itself. The new aircraft will enable Tata to compete with IndiGo, the country’s leading airline. The A350s, according to Chandrasekaran, will “fly all ultra-long distances throughout the globe.” Short-haul routes mainly employ single-aisle A320 aircraft. To boost its order, the airline has “major alternatives,” according to him. Last year, the national carrier’s debt-ridden ownership was reclaimed by Tata Sons, the largest and oldest business in India. When the airline was introduced by the Tata Group in 1932, it was the beginning of commercial aviation in India. In 1953, the government took control of it.
Both Modi and Macron praised the agreement, hailing it as evidence of the growing “strategic relationship” between their nations. According to Modi, India would be the third-largest market in the world for the aviation industry. According to estimates, India will require more than 2,000 aircraft over the course of the next 15 years, and he claimed that “today’s historic announcement will help in satisfying this growing demand.”
Macron referred to the agreement as a “new success” in the France-India strategic alliance and an opportunity to “explore new areas of cooperation with India.” Tata is merging Air India into Vistara, a joint venture between it and Singapore Airlines, as well as Air Asia India, a joint venture between it and Malaysian discount airline Air Asia.
