iQOO Neo5’s 66W Flash Charger along with the retail box leaked

iQOO is heating up to launch its upcoming smartphone iQOO Neo5 and the launch is imminent. Hence, we’ve been getting a few leaks regarding this upcoming iQOO Neo5 on social media for a while now. Recently, a new report has come up showing the retail box of the Neo5 along with its 66W Flash Charger.

As per the shared leaked image of the retail box of the upcoming iQOO smartphone, the box typically looks like a normal retail box of iQOO smartphones having Black and Yellow accents in which “iQOO” has been written in yellow. We can also see the ‘iQOO Neo5’ moniker on the side of the box.

Apart from it, the display of the phone is slightly visible which features a teardrop notch panel. The earlier leaks also suggest a similar kind of display in iQOO Neo5. The image also shows that the device will run on the Android 11 OS and the SoC will be paired with at least 128GB of internal storage.

On the other hand, we can see a 66W FlashCharger as well in a leaked image. This is basically a Vivo’s FlashCharger and as per the tipster, it can charge the whole battery of the device in around 30 minutes. However, we’ve not got any confirmation from the company about the capability of that 66W FlashCharger over its battery. We have to wait further to get the official confirmation.

Talking about the rumors, the iQOO Neo5 will feature an AMOLED panel with a faster refresh rate of 120Hz and it is expected to get fueled up by a 4,400mAH battery. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo5 is likely to get powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset paired with these RAM/storage combinations: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, and 12GB+256GB. In terms of cameras, this phone is likely to have a triple rear camera setup that includes a 48MP Sony IMX598 primary sensor along with a 13MP sensor and two 2MP sensors.

Overwatch 2 will feature hundred of Hero Missions along with The Dynamic Weather

Overwatch 2 didn’t look like a huge part of BlizzConline’s opening ceremony, but Jeff Kaplan and the other important members of the development team shared a ‘Behind the Scenes’ video where we saw many new tidbits about the sequel to the first-person shooter game of 2016.

The video features two new locations that are situated in popular real-life cities: New York and Rome, with the former set to be in any one map used in the latest Push mode. In many areas combat is being improved, ranging from few animations to sounds, with every weapon getting a ‘2.0 sound pass’.

Testing is internally in the works to assess the passive abilities depending on the role. Tanks do have the knockback reduction, but they are also able to generate less charge for their Ultimate when enemies are shooting at them. Damage dealing characters have gained a movement speed bonus and support heroes have auto-healing which starts ticking after it is being damaged for some time, same as the Mercy’s passive. Tanks are going to receive a bit modified tactical role. Now, they will be more toe-to-toe brawlers than the characters who need to stand back and protect their teammates.

blizzconline rome 01 2060x1159 1 Overwatch 2 will feature hundred of Hero Missions along with The Dynamic Weather

Then the discussion shifted to the new feature of Overwatch 2: Hero Missions. There will be ‘hundreds’ of those, and they come hand in hand with the character progressions, and Blizzard introduced the latest talent system where players can customize their characters in a different way. You’’ find dynamic weather in the missions and they can take place at several times of the day.

Overwatch 2 isn’t going to come out this year but the developers promised about lot more communication to come in the upcoming months. So, stay tuned with us for more updates.

Apple is working on “Wireless Power Banks” internally: Report

We all are aware of Apple’s MagSafe, the wireless charging technology. But did you ever think of a wireless power bank yet? The answers from the majority of us should be “No”. The reports are saying, the Cupertino giant is working on this tech for over a year, and it has plans to introduce it to the market within a few months after the launch of the iPhone 12 series.

Reuters’ reports disclose Apple’s work on the “Wireless Power Bank” that can attach to the smartphone’s back and initiate the charging process. Yes, you get this right; it’s quite similar to MagSafe. An Apple spokesperson refused to comment on it, as per the report. However, it is said that the latest iOS Beta version, i.e. iOS 14.5 Beta carries the information of “battery pack”.

Going further with the reports, it’s come to know that the charging bags are made up of white rubber. However, as the product is not officially announced yet, the color could vary later. One note for you is the charging bag will have only the charging functionality. Use it as a phone protective cover will not be a fruitful job.

Alongside the iPhones, iPads, and iMacs, Apple focuses on accessories for over a year. In fact, 12% of the total revenue during the fourth quarter of 2020 came only from this section. So, it’s obvious, the tech giant has to focus and will invest a lot. It’s just a beginning.

Callum Hudson-Odoi becomes the first Chelsea player to be subbed on and off in a match

Callum Hudson-Odoi becomes the first Chelsea player to be subbed on and off in a match

Callum Hudson-Odoi replaced Tammy Abraham at half time in Chelsea’s game against Southampton. However, the 20-year-old’s stint against the Saints was just that, a 30-minute stint. That was because Thomas Tuchel took the player off after only half an hour’s worth of football being played following the beginning of the second half.

Thomas Tuchel later clarified the reason behind taking off the winger, telling BT Sport:

“We brought in Callum Hudson-Odoi but I was not happy with his attitude, energy and counter-pressing.

Tuchel: Tammy Abraham was not injured and was taken off because he did not put his stamp on the game.

Callum Hudson-Odoi was also not injured- I was not happy with his energy and counter pressing so I took him off."

Absolutely brutal. pic.twitter.com/U7TtCUOt4s
— FootballFunnys (@FootballFunnnys) February 20, 2021

“I took him off and we demand 100 per cent, I feel he is not in the right shape to help us.

“It was a hard decision but tomorrow it is forgotten and he has all possibilities to start against Atletico Madrid.

“It is always a big week so it is mixed feelings at the moment, it will not be easier to score against Atletico.”

This harsh decision from Tuchel sends a clear message regarding the standards that the German demands from his players on the pitch. Hudson-Odoi has been impressing in the right wing-back position in recent weeks, and has been documented to be getting along really well with the new Chelsea boss.

This decision from the manager only makes sure that the players are aware that no matter what happens off the pitch, the demands for maintaining standards on the pitch remain the same for everyone.

Yohan Cabaye announced his retirement from football after spending a career with the likes of Lille, Paris Saint-Germain, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Al Nasr. The 35-year-old last played for Ligue 1 club Saint Etienne before hanging up his boots for good.

Cabaye came through the ranks at the Lille academy and eventually broke into their first team. He then managed to earn a move to Premier League club Newcastle United in 2011, after spending seven years with his boyhood club. The Magpies paid €5 million for his services, before selling him to Paris Saint-Germain two and a half years later for a profit worth €20 million.

The Frenchman also earned 48 caps with the France national team, making his debut in the summer of 2010 and going on to score 4 goals since.

“Even if this decision may seem obvious and unavoidable having passed 35 in the world of football, it is still difficult to take and to accept because my love for football is immense.”

All you need to know about how the IPL salary structure works

All you need to know about how the IPL salary structure works

All these years people wonder how cricketers walk away with deals of millions in the Indian Premier League auctions, and the biggies have become wealthy, while others have become a menage name.

People usually wonder how the IPL salary structure actually functions. So here we take a look how the IPL salary structure works.

Players are bought and signed in the auction after bidding. The player goes to the team that bids the highest for him. The highest bid amount becomes the salary for which a player is bought, and his taxes are levied according to the amount.

The salary structure is distributed according to the player’s contract, i.e. if the player’s contract is for a year, the player is paid the full amount, and if the contract is of three-year, then the salary is divided into three parts for each year and edition of IPL according to the availability of the player.

BCCI always handovers 20 per cent of the total salary to the respective home board, i.e. if an Australian player is signed for 5 crores, 1 crore will be paid beforehand to Cricket Australia, and the cost arises out of the league’s central revenue pool.

In the opening edition of IPL, bids were made in US dollars, and during that time, the exchange rate was determined at Rs 40 per USD. However, four years later, it was changed to the INR system.

If a team retains a player, he will be paying the same price as the previous year. It’s only the teams who will decide if they want to increase the salary of the player.

The salary structure is dependent on the availability of each team. This also depends on sponsorship money.

Many of the IPL franchises prefer to pay the entire salary at whole while others pay 50 per cent in advance. While some teams follow the 15, which is one week before IPL-65 during IPL-20, and the rest post-IPL formula, some teams also prefer to give their players cheques.

Thiago in defensive misery at Liverpool

Thiago’s move to Liverpool during the summer of 2020 was held by many as the best deal to take place during the transfer window before the start of the 2020/21 season. However, the Spaniard has faced a difficult start to life at Merseyside with injuries plaguing his progress and his performances on the pitch proving well below what is expected from a player of his calibre.

One of the most disturbing starts to show how difficult life’s been for Thiago at his new club is that the player has conceded more fouls than he has attempted tackles during his time under Jürgen Klopp. Opta has provided the stats for Thiago’s defensive record, and it is as follows:

Thiago 2 Thiago in defensive misery at Liverpool

Tackles: 25

Mins-per-tackle: 33

Fouls conceded: 26

Mins-per-foul: 32

Yellow cards: 3

Mins-per-yellow: 274

Liverpool have not scored any open play goals or won any games at Anfield that Thiago "Tempo controller" Alcantara has played. pic.twitter.com/QEP9zkov9B
— Trey (@UTDTrey) February 20, 2021

Thiago’s lack of defensive prowess was also on display during their 2-0 defeat to Everton at home, that was their fourth straight defeat in the Premier League. The Spaniard has not been helping the defense out in counter attacking situations and that, coupled with the fact that Liverpool are struggling with manpower at the back puts in place a very difficult situation for the manager.

One one hand, Thiago’s creativity is very difficult to parallel. However, his tendency to commit in the middle of the park can do more harm than good. After spending years and years with Bayern, the player must be given time to adjust to a new system and a new country with everything so different from what it once was.

Realme GT’s leather design, 120Hz display, AnTuTu score, and UFS 3.1 revealed

Realme has announced the launching of Realme GT on the 4th March 2021. Before the launch of this new handset, we have seen AnTuTu and Realme themselves releasing benchmarking scores of the smartphone. Realme CMO Xu Qi revealed the screenshot of the AnTuTu listing of the Realme GT (RMX2202) which had a score of 770,221 points.

This was an extremely high score compared to other smartphones in the market. Thus, it was obvious that it attracted a lot of eyes. AnTuTu was themselves surprised with this score. They shared a screengrab that showed that the smartphone has actually scored 688,602 points. AnTuTu said that they were shocked to see that high score because only one other smartphone has recorded a point tally of more than 700K.

Realme responded to this big confusion and said that AnTuTu may have used a previous engineering prototype of the Realme GT due to which they received a lower benchmark score of around 688K. To end this uncertainty, for now, AnTuTu said that they will conduct actual tests on Realme GT once it hits the market.

CMO Xu Qi shared one more screenshot of Realme GT which showed that the smartphone has derived a benchmark score of 767,137. To silence all the doubts, he even claimed that this test was undertaken when the smartphone was at room temperature.

Apart from the benchmark scores, Realme GT might possess a 125W fast charging support. It will have 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and will also offer 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It also features a strong refresh rate of 120 Hz and will be run on Android 11 OS. As seen in the picture above, Realme GT will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest chipset, Snapdragon 888.

Atletico suffer shock defeat to Levante at home

While Atletico Madrid seemed invincible only a few weeks ago, their recent fortunes have made the Rojiblancos seem mortal after all. The league leaders suffered their first home defeat in over a year as they lost 2-0 to Levante at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The underdogs heading into the match drew with Atletico at their own stadium only three days ago, and they have now managed to take 4 points off the title favourites, blowing the title race wide open.

Should Real Madrid win their game against Real Valladolid tonight, they will have closed the gap between themselves and their city rivals to only three points. And should that happen, Real’s season will all of a sudden look much better than it has been in recent weeks while Atletico’s will look like a painful bottle job, considering the stronghold of Barcelona and Real Madrid on the top of the league.

With that said, credit must be given where it is due and it goes to Levante. The 8th placed team has now managed to beat both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at home. Jose Luis Morales and Juan de Fruta managed to get on the scoresheet for the visitors as they managed to do what so many have tried and failed at, to defeat Atleti in their own backyard.

— Squawka Football (@Squawka) February 20, 2021

Atletico were ultimately unlucky on the day, having suffered only their second defeat in the league this season. This match was even more important since the next challenge that Diego Simeone’s men face is that against Chelsea in the Champions League, who have been unbeaten ever since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel at the club and are looking to extend that run to continental football too.
