Phil Foden is without a shadow of a doubt the best young footballer in the Premier League right now. The youngster managed to provide an assist for Ilkay Gundogan’s second goal against Liverpool that put the visitors ahead and then managed to find the back of the net himself with a thunderous strike to beat Alisson Becker, who was having a rough day, conceding two errors leading directly to the goal.
While any player can have a good day on the pitch, it is a sign of class and quality when they deliver regularly, and Foden has been scarily consistent for his age against the feared ‘Big 6’ opposition of the Premier League.
Phil Foden Vs all the ‘Top 6’
2 goals and 2 assists vs Arsenal 3 goals and 3 assists vs Liverpool 2 goals and 2 assists vs Spurs 1 goal and 2 assists vs Chelsea 0 Goals and 1 assist vs Man United
The 20-year-old’s maturity and understanding of the game are way beyond his years, and his ability to run with the ball fearlessly sets him apart from many of the other players who have a similar role. However, his most prized asset is his unbelievable finishing technique that combines sheer power with accuracy, evident in his goal against Liverpool yesterday.
Guardiola’s opinions of the young Englishman are finally getting more and more believable. The Catalonian heralded Foden as the most talented youngster he has ever seen, ahead of even Leo Messi, who has gone on to have one of the most incredible careers in football.
The City boss praised his prized asset in the post-match interview, but also made sure to keep the youngster grounded, saying:
“Phil Foden is a guy who keeps the ball really well, he arrives so aggressive but he is also still so young. When he plays wide it is more easy for him, he will learn.
“The action for the second goal and the fourth goal, we know what a huge talent he is but he is still young and hopefully he can understand he can still improve.”
February 8th, 2021, India: Nazara’s subsidiary, Next Wave Multimedia Pvt. Ltd., exclusively partners with Israel-based Anzu with the aim to bring advancement in blended in-game advertising for the second edition of their award-winning World Cricket Championship (WCC) franchise. The game will look to leverage Anzu’s blended in-game ad technology, bringing more opportunities for brands and advertisers in the Indian ecosystem.
Being a leader in this space, Anzu will now bring to WCC2 ad viewability, brand lift measurement, audience verification, data enrichment, and fraud detection in partnership with industry leaders such as Moat, Comscore, Kantar, and Nielsen, in addition to native ad placements with blended in-game banner ads across the game on Android and iOS devices.
The native advertising format that this collaboration brings will help advertisers reach their audiences in a seamless manner, without disrupting user experience, while integrating a brand’s message in the game’s environment.
On the exclusive partnership, Next Wave Multimedia co-founder and CEO P.R. Rajendran says, “We are glad to be able to bring more value to brands. We believe this collaboration will help us serve users and advertisers better by taking gaming and digital advertising a notch higher for enhanced experience.”
Anzu’s CEO and co-founder, Itamar Benedy, remarked, “Every region is seeing a growth in gaming, and advertisers realise that in-game ads can help them connect with a once elusive audience. We are thrilled to partner with such a well-established studio and help them achieve their goals while opening up the in-game advertising market for advertisers across India.”
The APAC region has always had a record number of players, with the current estimate at 1.5 billion. Now that Anzu has inked a deal with AdColony’s APAC division, advertisers across the region will have even more access to gamers. Amit Rathi, AdColony’s Country Manager for India, noted, “Gaming has transformed from an underground pastime to mainstream entertainment, and it is rivaling the reach of social media. Advertisers need to take note of this and treat gaming as an equal if not a more effective channel for communicating with consumers. Placing in-game ads in games like WCC 2 will allow advertisers to reach their desired audiences.”
Overall, WCC apps have garnered more than 140 million installs across devices. Earlier in 2020, WCC MAUs and Daily Active Users (“DAU”) hit a peak of 15 million and 3.5 million respectively (Next Wave Multimedia), gaining from the lockdown-induced surge in mobile gaming. WCC2 alone counts more than 50 million downloads on Google Play Store. The user engagement for the WCC games has increased considerably, evidenced by the fact that the average daily user engagement time for WCC2 was 45 minutes but this has increased to 55 minutes for the WCC3 title.
To help align in-game advertising with other media channels, Anzu has formed several strategic partnerships, including one with WPP to introduce in-game advertising standards. Through its affiliations with leading AdTech vendors, Anzu supplies in-depth measurements for campaign effectiveness and ad verification. It is these types of technologies that give big-name advertisers such as Vodafone, Samsung, and 7-Eleven the confidence they need to shift more of their budgets to in-game ads and game developers including Ubisoft, Toplitz Productions, and APB Reloaded the security to integrate ads into their games.
Samsung has recently launched its Galaxy A32 5G smartphone in the European market and it seems like another A-series smartphone is heading towards India, is the Galaxy A52, coming in both 4G and 5G variants. The report says that the device is already under production at Samsung’s facility in Greater Noida, India. As per some reports, Samsung is also preparing for its Galaxy A42 and A72 smartphones. As of now, Samsung has not revealed the actual date of launching the Galaxy A52 5G smartphone, but it seems to be very soon. In recent times, we’ve already got some of the mid-range 5G smartphones, like Moto G 5G, Mi 10i, and Galaxy A52 5G is expected to be a new addition in it.
So, it looks like the Galaxy A52 5G could be the very-first Galaxy A-series smartphone that will bring the 5G support in India because earlier, Samsung had only brought the 4G variants of Galaxy A51 so as the Galaxy A71, A80 devices.
As of now, the Galaxy A52 5G has been spotted only in certain certification platforms such as China’s TENAA and 3C regulatory bodies, Bluetooth SIG, and Wi-Fi Alliance. But, in recent times, this phone has got certified by the FCC certification website (model number: SM-A526B) which is indicating an imminent launch of this phone in the Indian market, probably in March. Earlier, we thought that Samsung Galaxy A52 5G will hit the market in February, but it seems to get delayed. (source1, source2)
As of now, we don’t have any confirmed specifications of the Galaxy A52 5G. However, some leaks are suggesting that this phone will feature a 6.5-inch Infinity-O display and a thickness of 8.4mm. The 5G variant of this phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 750G chipset whereas the 4G variant could be powered by the Snapdragon 720G chipset. The Galaxy A52 is expected to run on Android 11 OS and probably feature a quad rear camera setup having a 64MP primary sensor. In terms of availability, the Galaxy A52 is expected to arrive in the market before H1 2021 ends at a price tag of under $500. (image source)
This device has recently appeared on the TENAA certification website with model number SM-A5260, showing that it will run on Android 11 OS, powered by a 4,500mAH battery, and will flaunt a 6.46-inch FHD+ AMOLED display (source).

Last year, Samsung had made the debut of its F-series of smartphones with the Galaxy F41. This phone has a quite decent camera module which is the highlight of this series as per Samsung. But what we’ve seen, the processor was not up to the mark. So, this time Samsung is set to launch the second device of the F-series named the Galaxy F62 with Exynos 9825 (a flagship chipset of a couple of years ago). As per reports, the Samsung Galaxy F62 will make its debut at 12 PM on February 15 via Flipkart. As the launch is pretty imminent, the design and specifications of this phone has already been revealed online. So, let’s get into those.
The Samsung Galaxy F62 will run the One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 OS and is powered by the Exynos 9825, a 7nm based chipset. Regarding the display, this phone is likely to have a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel having a punch-hole for carrying the front camera. Regarding the Exynos 9825, it performs slightly better than the Snapdragon 765G.
The SoC of this phone is said to be paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Coming to the camera section, this phone will offer a square-shaped quad rear camera setup supported by an LED flash that includes a 64MP primary sensor. Despite of having AMOLED, this phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Regarding the battery, the Galaxy F62 definitely gets an upper hand as it is fueled by a gigantic 7,000mAH battery (charging speed not mentioned yet). The pricing of this phone has not been confirmed yet whereas it is rumored that this phone will carry a price tag of around under Rs 25,000 (~$343). All the mysteries will get solved on February 15 at 12 pm.
It’s no longer a secret that cryptocurrency mining has become increasingly popular among people these days who look to make money in a short span of time. However, for mining, you require a lot of horsepowers as well, which is why this year the new and powerful GPUs are in heavy demand.
This is one of the biggest reasons why the availability of both RTX 30-series and RX 6000 series GPUs are so weak as well as the prices are inflated. In the meantime, miners have now turned their attention in Iran, where the electricity is provided at cheap rates.

According to El Chapuzas Informatico, an investigation by Iranian authorities has revealed that the recent power outages in Iran are due to the growing popularity of mining farms in the country. Interestingly, Chinese companies are shifting their mining operations to Iran because the electricity costs in Iran is 4 times lower than in mainland China.
It is suspected that Iran now houses 14 large mining farms which consume around 300 megawatts of power, almost comparable to the power consumption of a city with about 100K inhabitants. So, while Iran has become a hotspot for miners, it is suspected that the hardware sold to them, mainly GPUs are being directly sold to miners.

As Videocardz points out, these unfair means of sale is not a concern for the manufacturer or even board partners, as long as these GPUs get sold. This is the sole cause of why new GPUs are nowhere to be found, it will indeed take quite some time to recover the worse situation.
