Only ten days left from the release. Be ready to enter the world of assassination. Hitman 3 is going to release on 20 January 2021, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Stadia. Here we have brought some points that what to expect from Hitman 3.
1.The Camera:
A new tool is included in Agent 47’s collection in Hitman 3, which is a camera. It can be used to hack and scan devices in different missions. You use the camera on a dead body to know, what killed the person. The interesting thing is if you are going to integrate Hitman 1 & 2, then also in those levels, the camera will take its role.
2. Progress of Hitman 2:
If you own either of any previous two Hitman games you can play the levels of these previous games in Hitman 3. One additional detail is that your progression of Hitman 2 will carry over to Hitman 3.
3. Game Modes:
In Hitman 3 you’ll find five different modes. The first one is a campaign, where players will go through the game story having six missions. The second one is elusive targets, the targets which will appear for a limited time. If you fail to complete the target, you’ll not be given any second chance to complete it. The third mode is escalations, where the game will remix new challenges to raise the difficulty with increasing security cameras and disguise options. The fourth one is the contracts mode. You have to select your own contacts by selecting NPCs as targets and set to strategy to assassinate. The last one is the sniper assassin. You can assume by its name that this is a long-range assignment. Without triggering the alarms eliminate your targets.
4. A German Nuclear Power Plant:
IO Interactive will announce the fourth location, which is Berlin, Germany. There is not much information about that. But from some screenshots, it’s recognized that the place is an old nuclear power plant in Germany.

The standard edition contains the simple base game and the deluxe editions offer you the base game with a deluxe pack (extra digital soundtracks, in-game suits).

Having spotted a lot of Cezanne APUs earlier we know that AMD will be launching them both for mobile and desktop at CES 2021. A few days ago Ryzen 7 5700G was spotted on USB-IF site confirming its presence.
Now, to take this even further the Zen 3 based APU has been tested and seen mentioned on the Chinese social media platform. It is codenamed as 100-000000263, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads along with 4.4 GHz boost clock speeds.
It is indeed a 7nm based Zen 3 chip and the leaker says it might be either Ryzen 7 5700G or 5750G. Although not tested on any traditional benchmark software, but the leaker somehow managed to get the CPU-Z benchmark of the APU.
It scored a handsome 613.6 points in single-threaded benchmark and 6292.2 points in multi-threaded tests. Compared to the predecessor Zen 2 CPU, the Ryzen 7 3700X, the upcoming APU is much faster than you could have expected.
It seems the Zen 3 based APU is 20% and 16% faster respectively even though it goes up to 4.4 GHz only, thanks to the architectural improvement of Zen 3. As per the leaker, the flagship APU will cost just 1888 Yuans (or 296 USD) when bought in bulk.
The good thing about any Ryzen CPU or APU is that they are overclockable and so is this one, up to 4.7GHz. So, when overclocked, it scores 647.4 points in single-threaded benchmark and a whopping 6960 points in multi-core tests, pretty impressive figures I would say.
In the earlier 2000s, Chinese products used to have the image of being unreliable. They used to get damaged easily. This forced people to spend smaller amounts on them. But this frame of mind of the people is slowly changing. Over the years, we have seen Chinese OEMs develop some amazing smartphones which have completely revolutionized the smartphone industry.
Slowly and steadily, the brand image of Chinese products has improved. Today, they are looked at as someone who brings innovation into products. Xiaomi is one such Chinese company that has brought a different dimension to smartphones altogether. They have manufactured products with different innovative designs which can attract a lot of customers.
Recent reports have not been great for Xiaomi. A few images have circulated online which tells that few of his products are founded to be defective. Xiaomi’s latest smart band, the Mi Band 5, got completely burned-out when it was connected to its charger. The user stated that his Mi Band 5 exploded while it was being charged on a table. You can see the image below.
A point to note is that all the damages which are present in the picture are not because of the explosion alone. When the device caught fire, the user threw it on the floor and stamped on it. Thus, we believe a few of the damages can be due to that reason as well. Though the reason for this explosion is unknown, we can say that there might have been a hardware issue.
Another set of photos surfaced online which could harm Xiaomi. Their recently launched flagship device, Mi 11 series phone, was spotted online in a badly damaged manner. The owner of this device is unidentified but these photos were found on the Chinese social app Weibo.
It might be possible that these are just one-off incidents or the users of these devices were at fault. But, if these kinds of images are floated by a number of users, then it will raise a huge concern within Xiaomi.
AMD will be announcing a lot of things at the CES 2021 and among them you could expect a few CPU announcements as well. So, as the per the new leak from @momomo_us, there could be two new Zen 3 CPUs on cards for the company.
So, these CPUs are the non X variants of the already launched Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X. There aren’t much difference in specs also as these CPUs have 100MHz lower clock speeds and will have 65W TDP.
The 12-core Ryzen 9 5900 carries a huge 70MB cache while the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800 comes with 36MB cache. Both of these CPUs are believed to be offered to OEM partners only as per rumors.
AMD is also all set to launch the Ryzen 5000G consumer centric APUs based on Zen 3 architecture. A lot of Cezanne based APUs like Ryzen 7 5700G and Ryzen 5 5600G will be announced alongside the mobile Cezanne APUs.

2020 is gone and now we’re in 2021, but for various types of reasons, 2020 still haunts people all over the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown, quarantine, and many other unknown things have been a part of our lives throughout 2020. For the pandemic situation, most of the countries in the world have been in a lockdown state and for this, there was only one hope for people to get indoors and live their lives, the thing is none other than the internet. Internet surfing, watching videos, playing online games, and later on, work from home, all those things have worked as the blessing of the internet in that lockdown state. But according to a recent report, amongst 20 other countries in the world, India is the only one who experienced the most number of internet shutdowns due to Government restrictions. These massive restrictions had lead to suffer a massive loss of almost $2.8 billion for this country.
The recent report states that the amount of money, the number of losses suffered by India due to all these internet restrictions were more than double the combined amount of the next 20 countries on the list. The shutdowns were not only for the pandemic crisis but also mainly for the political issue and tensions with our neighbors such as China and Pakistan. The reports said that the Indian Government had restricted access to the internet more than 75 times throughout 2020. These numbers are definitely the most in all aspects if compared to other countries.
The report reads, “The majority of these short blackouts were highly targeted, affecting groups of villages or individual city districts, and so were not included in this report, which focuses on larger region-wide shutdown.”
As per some recent researches, things got worse in Jammu and Kashmir as internet access was restricted there for several months and the Indian Government provides only 2G services to the citizens. This crisis is termed as “the longest Internet shutdown in a democracy.”
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released its guidelines for the auctions of the Indian Premier League 2021 (IPL). The IPL GC has also asked the franchises to submit their list for the retained players by January 21st and has revealed the amount left in the team purse.
Also, the auction is likely to take place in the mid-February after the finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy which will take play on 31st January, so that the franchises can scout young talents from the domestic cricket.
Since the BCCI after their AGM on 24th December has approved the idea of including two new teams in the IPL from 2022, so instead of the mega-auction this edition, a mini-auction will be organized ahead of IPL 2021.
Also, the IPL GC has announced that trading window will close on February 4 for the franchises while the authorities are likely to host the auction for the 14th edition on February 11 2021, according to the reports.
The players had signed a 3-year contract with the franchises in 2018, which already ended in 2020. Thus, before mini-auction, BCCI and franchises will have complete all contractual formalities with those players whom teams would like to retain and also those the teams want to release for the upcoming IPL 2021 season.
The teams can retain three players and can have two more players back using the Right To March (RTM) card. The purse money must not exceed and the franchises will have to do the task with a total of INR 85 crore money only. Thus the purse left for the mini-auction will be dependent on how much money the teams are left with after deciding on the retained players.
The three-time title winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are left with an INR 15 lakh. It is also rumoured that the franchise might release a few capped players as they have to build a strong squad from the scratch after the disaster in IPL 2020.
The defending champions Mumbai Indians have a less amount under their belt with INR 1.95 crore, but they might not disturb with the winning playing XI combination.
Also, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has only INR 6.4 crores with them, while two-times champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have a purse of about INR 8.5 crore. The Delhi Capitals (DC) also have INR 9 crores but they also seem not to disturb their young and energetic playing XI and the Sunrisers Hyderabad also boasts of having INR 10.1 crores.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) have INR 14.75 crore purse left while Kings XI Punjab are left with INR 16.5 crore.
Samsung is about to launch another smartphone of its A-series, named Samsung Galaxy A32 5G. Recently, we’ve got a leaked report of the official renders of the Galaxy A32 5G, revealing its front and rear design, and guess what, this phone offers an impressive rear panel design. So, let’s get into the leaked renders of this upcoming device from Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy A32 5G specifications (rumored)
As per the rear panel of the device, the first time we are seeing that there is no frame for the rear camera setup and the LED flash. Generally, in all smartphones from different manufacturers, for holding its rear camera setup and LED flash, always a large-sized frame is there. But not in the Galaxy A32 5G. In this phone, the quad-camera setup has placed individually on the polycarbonate surface along with its LED flash. This design looks quite similar to what we’ve seen in the LG Velvet, maybe Samsung got some inspiration from LG.
As of now, the sensors’ specifications are not confirmed yet. Although, the primary sensor could be of 48MP along with an ultra-wide, a macro, and a depth sensor. Coming to its front side, the Galaxy A32 5G features a 6.5-inch IPS LCD teardrop notch panel. The top and side bezels look a bit smaller whereas the chin looks fairly thick. This phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G appeared on the Geekbench website last month. The listing shows that this phone could be powered by the Dimensity 720 chipset (or it could be the Dimensity 800U chipset as well). However, this device will run on the Android 11 OS.
The SoC of this phone is expected to be paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of internal storage. As per the battery, it is likely to be fueled up by a 5,000mAH battery with 15W of fast charging. Another good thing is that it will have support for NFC. As of now, the company has not revealed anything regarding the price f this upcoming product. But rumors are saying that this will arrive as the cheapest smartphone from the South-Korean brand.
After a tough start in Hero ISL, SC East Bengal is finally picking up the momentum. The Red & Gold beat Bengaluru FC by 1-0 today. This is their second win in the ISL and is now 5 games unbeaten in the league.
SC East Bengal has started the new year in excellent form. The Kolkata Giant took the lead today against Bengaluru FC in the 20th minute. East Bengal midfielder Ville Matti Steinmann put them in the lead with a clever flick from a low cut back from Narayan Das. Bengaluru FC tried to pull one back but East Bengal goalkeeper Debjit Majumdar has denied them.
Bengaluru FC recently sacked their manager Carles Cudrat. Naushad Moosa is the interim coach of Bengaluru FC. After the match, Bengaluru FC coach Naushad Moosa said, “It’s not been easy for me. It was all of a sudden and we knew the relationship we had with Carles, it wasn’t easy for us. For all the players, I had to really sit with everyone and talk to them. The players made me feel comfortable and showed me they are professional and here to play football.”
“Three sleepless nights, it’s not been easy for me. I was confident that we can bounce back. Unlucky goal but the way we played today, we can get back. Even East Bengal, they have been on top, and they were also desperate for the victory. I am sure we will come back and give a positive performance in the next match.
“I want to rely on youth now. The way Parag played in the first game, it was unlucky he got injured. Bhutia, Amay, was nervous but it was their first game. I do want to give them more time. We still have 10 games to go and it’s not over for us.”
SC East Bengal has slowly started to find their momentum in the league. January addition Raju Gaikwad, Ankit Mukherjee, and the Nigerian star Bright Enobakhare is proving their worth.
SC East Bengal is now 9th in the table with 10 points from the first 10 games in the league. Robbie Fowler’s men are now 5 points behind the top 4.
