We all know that the Realme 8 series is around the corner and will launch soon in India. Previously we have also discussed the launch date of the Realme 8 series in India on March 24. Yet the company has not spilled any beans about the launch date but has already shown the key specs of the Realme 8 smartphone in one of their tweeted images.

Now if you open the Flipkart app then you can see that it has created a landing page for the launch of the Realme 8 series under the mobile section. The landing page reveals the phone names that will be launched. Mentioned names: Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro, this confirms that there might be no 5G versions in this series, and looks like it will compete against the Redmi Note 10 series straight away.

The landing page in Flipkart is hosting a CAPTURE INFINITY CONTEST and you can participate on it. This is a way of advertising the 108MP camera on the Realme 8 Projust like the Pro Max version of the Redmi Note 10 series.

Mithali Raj becomes the first Indian woman to score 10,000 runs in International cricket

Indian Woman’s Team skipper Mithali Raj becomes the first Indian Cricketer to score 10,000 runs in International cricket. She reached the feat on Friday after completing 35 runs in the 3rd ODI against South Africa.

Now, She is the second women’s cricketer in the world after England’s Charlotte Edwards to complete 10,000 landmark runs in international cricket. Former England skipper has scored 10,273 runs in his career. Mithali Raj is just 273 runs away from becoming the highest run-getter in Woman’s cricket.

Mithali Raj made her debut in 1999 against Ireland. The 38 years old has appeared in over 200 ODIs, 10 Tests, and 89 T20I matches. She is already the top run-getter in the ODI format with over 6,000 runs, including 7 centuries. In Tests, she has scored 663 runs with an average of 51.00. In the T20s, she scored 2364 runs with an average of 37.52.

Earlier on Thursday, Mithali’s teammate Smriti Mandhana was excited for this amazing feat of his captain. She told the Journalist, “Getting to 10,000 runs first or second is a huge thing. She is the first Indian to do that so I think it is something that shows how consistent she has been throughout her career. We have looked up to her, definitely a very proud feeling for all of us in the team.”

India won the match and took the lead in the series. Mithali Raj and Punam Raut put a 77 runs partnership for the 3rd wicket after losing the first two wickets quickly.

OnePlus Watch officially confirmed to launch on March 23

OnePlus has finally confirmed the launch of the most awaited OnePlus 9 series on March 23 globally. This time the company has redesigned the rear-camera module and to our surprise, the partnership with Hasselblad is targeting a greater goal from this point. OnePlus is trying to focus more and more on their cameras for the 9 series despite being a flagship device of the brand. So it is safe and justiciable to say that the company is making a camera-centric flagship smartphone this time.

Apart from the OnePlus 9 series the company has also declared the launch of a brand new OnePlus Watch officially. The watch is confirmed to watch alongside the OnePlus 9 series which is on March 23. The teaser video has been shared by the company on their social media accounts. The teaser video also reveals some of the features and design of the smartwatch.

From the teaser, it is clearly visible that the dial is round and we are going to see a circular design on this smartwatch with only one button control at the left side of the watch. The stills are so confusing in the teaser that it is nearly impossible what the company is trying to tease. Another thing that it will have a silicon strap and might have a textured finish on the upper side.

Nothing much is known right now about this watch, but we will positively keep you updated with any news regarding this product. The company will definitely tease more about this device in the coming days and will definitely let us know more about it. The most important part is that it will also launch in India along with other global markets where the OnePlus 9 series is launching on that day.

ASUS ZenFone 8 series details leaked to have Snapdragon 888 SoC, hints a Mini version as well

ASUS has been in the news lately after launching a powerful gaming smartphone series, the ASUS ROG Phone 5 series, just a day back. Now, we have an update of another device from the house of Asus. The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) approved the two phones with model numbers ZS590KS and ZS672KS.

According to the reports, ZenFone 8 series smartphones will be the new series that might launch very soon. The reports suggest that the smartphone with model number ZS590KD, which is codenamed as Sake, is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC.

The device sports a 5.9-inch OLED panel and can have a refresh rate of 120 Hz. This device might be named the ZenFone 8 Mini. It might have a main camera of 64-megapixel Sony IMX686. The two other handsets were found to be codenamed PICASSO and VODKA. PICASSO has a ZS675KW model number.

It can sport a 6.75-inch screen. On the front side, it will feature a 24-megapixel OmniVision QV24B1Q lens. On the rear side, it might have a triple camera system with a Sony IMX686 64-megapixel camera, a 12-megapixel Sony IMX363 lens, and an 8-megapixel OV08A lens.

Though there is still no confirmation if this PICASSO handset is a part of the ZenFone 8 series handset. The camera module on the backside seems to be very similar to what was offered in the ZenFone 7 Pro. Thus, it might not follow the usual swivel camera system which was seen in the previous models.

The VODKA device is expected to be run by Snapdragon 888 mobile processor as said before and that is the only information we have about it currently. Though, these updates are still not official and have a good chance of not being fully true.

Kylian Mbappe broke Lionel Messi’s Champion League record against FC Barcelona

Kylian Mbappe made the difference between FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in UEFA Champions League. The Frenchman also broke Lionel Messi’s UEFA Champions League record against him as well.

Kylian Mbappe became the youngest footballer in UEFA Champions League history to score 25 goals in the competition. Previously this record belonged to Lionel Messi.

Kylian Mbappe was the star man in both legs against FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League’s Round of 16 clash. The Frenchman scored an incredible β€˜hat-trick’ as his side won the game quite comfortably in the first leg. Paris Saint-Germain thrashed FC Barcelona by 4-1 at their home.

He also broke the deadlock in the second leg. He netted from the spot in the 31st minute of their last-16 second-leg clash. It was his 25th Champions League goal at the age of 22 years and 80 days whereas Messi set this record aged 22 years and 286 days.

MbappΓ© joined PSG in 2017 after a big-money move from Monaco. In 3 seasons with PSG, he has won 8 trophies including 3 league titles. PSG was the runners up in last season’s UEFA Champions League. They lost to Bayern Munich in the finals.

Kylian MbappΓ© won World Cup in 2018 for his country. The winger forward is one of the most important members of that team.

In his 157 appearances he has scored 116 goals for the French side.

Kylian Mbappe is just 22 years old. He is one of the assets for the future. Some people think he can be the Ballon D’or winner as well.

How to fix VAR: A Brief guide

0

The introduction of VAR into football has made the sport a very different entity than what it was before. The two main impacts that the technology has had on football are: 

Firstly, goals are not the same as before. Whenever a player scores, there is always the looming dread that the goal will be cancelled out either for a toenail being offside or for an accidental handball, which we will come to in a minute. The suspense that follows the goal and during the VAR check is something that has slowed the game down and made it a more annoying process than anything.Β

Secondly, penalties are being awarded more than ever before with almost one being conceded per game. Accidental handballs are not only ruling goals out, but also offering penalties to the opposition for defending players and even the slightest bit of contact is being given as a penalty.

The best change that could come to the VAR system being followed is the introduction of some consistency in the decision-making. Moreover, micing up the referees so that the audience has some reference behind their decision making is something that can add a very new and interesting dimension to the sport.Β 

We do, of course, need an overhaul in what qualifies as a handball and what doesn’t. Offsides that depend on lines being drawn and examined for minutes on end should be done away with because if you have to search for it like a needle in a haystack, it’s probably not making a very big difference. 

Ronaldo rumoured to be on the verge of Real Madrid return

0

After being knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16 for the second year straight, rumours have been doing the rounds in Italy linking Cristiano Ronaldo with an exit from Juventus. The main reason behind the rumours being that Juventus are finding it difficult to have Ronaldo’s wages on their books.

The Portuguese forward is hence, being linked with a return to Real Madrid. Los Blancos are one of the few clubs that can afford to pay the player’s wages. Moreover, they are on good terms with each other too.Β 

When asked about a potential move to bring Ronaldo back to the Bernabeu, here is what Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane had to say to the media: 

“You know what he is, what he has done and how much love we have for him.

“He made history here, he’s magnificent.

“Now, he is a Juve player and I cannot tell you anything about what they [media] are saying. He’s a Juve player and I have to respect these things.”

Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes has also reportedly spoken to Real Madrid about a return to the club. However, nothing is believable until it actually is in the works for real. On the flipside, everything is possible in football and despite the slim chances of Madrid actually gambling on another spell with Ronaldo well beyond his prime physical years, we could still see the player back in white in the Spanish capital. 

Erling Haaland wants to play in every big league in Europe

0

The man whose name is on the lips of every football fan across the globe, Erling Haaland is being linked with a transfer to every big club in Europe. The Norwegian has a release clause worth €75 million that kicks in starting from 2022, and it is likely that every club that will be able to pay that fee will be in the race for the striker. 

According to ESPN, the Borussia Dortmund star wants to play in every one of Europe’s top five leagues. He has already made his mark in the German Bundesliga, and broke through in the Austrian Bundesliga with RB Salzburg before sealing the move to the Westfalenstadion. 

Clubs like Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Barcelona are all reportedly interested in joining the race for the player. It is well worth noting that no advancements have been reached in talks between any clubs, and that potential suitors are simply exploring the situation. 

Haaland’s situation is also dictated by Dortmund’s ability to secure Champions League football at the end of the season. A talent like the 20-year-old will want to, and deserves to compete at the highest level. Hence, Dortmund might have to accept bids for the player this summer which have no relation to the release clause if they fail to finish in the top four. 

The player is understood to be very happy with Dortmund, and was awarded the man of the match trophy in both of Dortmund’s Champions League matches against Sevilla where he became the youngest player to score 20 Champions League goals in the second leg. 

Sheffield United set to sack Chris Wilder

0

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is set to leave the club today, after weeks of disagreements and arguments with the board following the objectives and the recruitment process next season. 

The most telling sign that Wilder will leave the club comes from the club cancelling the press conference on Friday, citing ‘circumstances beyond their control’ as the reason behind the decision.

While it isn’t a complete assurance of the fact, it is increasingly likely that the Blades boss will depart the club. That is also more amplified by the fact that they are at the bottom of the table right now, and are the favourites to be relegated at the end of the season, which depletes the club’s stock a lot. Moreover, their stock has dropped massively considering they were on the verge of qualifying for Europe at one point last season. 

Wilder has been in charge of Sheffield United for about five years, having joined the club in 2016. The recent heat between the manager and the board was incited due to the manager reportedly downplaying the worth of his squad and pushing for signings that the board did not agree on. The higher authorities wanted Wilder to concentrate more on managing the team instead of signing more players. 

The fact that no loan signings were made during January is also something that Wilder was vocal about during his conversations with the upper management. 

Sheffield United will face Leicester this weekend in the Premier League, and in all likelihood, they could have a new face at the touchline on Sunday. 

APPS KA BAAP is launching on 18th March

  • Apps Ka Baap: A made in India all in one social app for every user 

New Delhi, 11th March 2021: 

We love our phones and more than the social apps are the lifeline to our everyday chores, reminders and entertainment. In simple words, for every action we have an equal and complicated application! What if all of our favourite apps were merged into ONE, wouldn’t that make our lives less complicated? It would surely save us from multiple app updates. 

Coming from the house of Bestone India, this very dearth of a centralised App platform was identified and had been working on the model of an app for that since months, that goes beyond the bar and raises it at the same time especially when it comes to socialising, communicating, creating content, entertainment and even monetising all in ONE app.

After an elaborate brain stirring research, data collection and curation of a smooth UI, the Bestone family is all set to launch Apps Ka Baap – a virtual platform that has something for everyone. Be it content creation, from short videos to instant chatting messenger, it’s got it all. Available on Google Playstore, the app’s UI is not just user friendly, it is user-loving in so many ways. It is a revolutionary alternative to socialise, share and connect with individuals in your list. Made in India, while you wait until you get to the name for it, calling it Apps Ka Baap is pretty apt.

It has been crafted to encapsulate every social need that we have created and created a separate app for it within it. Connectivity remains the backbone as it brings people from across different geographies and ideologies all on one platform together. 

They intend to unveil this Apps ka baap to the world of social media and at large by the 18th of March, and have roped in the celebrity host Jay Bhanushali already for its launch event.

Coming from the family of Bestone, the group has been known for taking the paths unknown, and making them landmarks. they question norms, listen carefully and anticipate trends. They invest in new markets and take calculated risks to deliver more for the consumers, shareholders, employees and industry.

Another wing for the same is now, the upcoming Apps Ka Baap.
