Realme announces a new product launch on Realmeow

Realme is one of the smartphone makers that refreshes its portfolio very frequently, especially smartphones. Apart from a huge range of smartphones, it also had plenty of AIoT devices and more in its collection, and this list is also going to refresh very soon. What and when? Here are the company announced details and our assumption.

Company Announcement…

Realme, on its official website, declared a new product launch that is titled “Realmeow”. In the banner, a shadow of an animated cat is visible wearing an AR or VR type glass. We are still not sure whether it will be a launch event or not.

The program is scheduled for 15th December at 12:30 PM IST. No doubt, it will be either an event or not, all are fixed in virtual mode.

Lastly, Mark A. Walsh, a world-famous animator is engaged with this product deeply.

What we can expect…

There is no confusion, the company is focusing on the high-tech glass the cat is wearing. As all the descriptions (the cat mainly) are indicating towards animation more, including the engagement of Mark A. Walsh, the high chance is the upcoming product could be a Virtual Reality Glass, other than an AR Glass.

To get a crystal clear idea about the new “species” (product) we have to wait till 15th December, which is not too far. As the ‘Realmow’ banner is not spotted on any of the popular e-commerce platforms yet, we have to visit the company’s official website at the scheduled time and date.

Julian Nagelsmann warns his players before the decider match against Manchester United

0

RB Leipzig will face Manchester United tonight in the UEFA Champions League’s group decider at home. RB Leipzig will qualify if they beat Manchester United today. Whereas United just needs a draw to qualify or they have to depend on Paris Saint-Germain’s result against Istanbul Basaksehir FK.

Manchester United thrashed RB Leipzig at Old Trafford by a convincing 5-0 win a few weeks back. But RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is confident to win the tie tonight. He also warned his players that they might need to fight till the last minute of the game.

He said, “We are aware that if Manchester United are trailing they can still turn the match around. They have shown that in the last matches. We have to wait for the referee to end the match. We have to fight until the very end to get the three points against them.”

“I don’t know for which team it is easier – the team defeated 5-0 or that won 5-0. The result doesn’t such play such a big role. I think they will treat it as a fresh game.”

“We analyzed the match and showed my players how good they were in certain situations. We were better in the game but a little bit too afraid at the start. We can add a lot and improve, especially in the last third.”

“United defended well. We can’t say they played well, but they defended very well.”

“It’s complicated for United as well. Most of the group phase they were in the first place, and now if they lose they might not go to the knockout stage.”- Nagelsmann added.

There are some injury concerns in the Manchester United side. Though Luke Shaw is fit again to play against the German opposition. It will be a tough ask for Ole’s men as they will face a highly confident and determined RB Leipzig side.

The Holy Grail of football tournaments consists of 32 teams in total. Of the 32, 13 teams are from Europe. 

The 10 first placed teams from as many groups will have secured their positions in the tournament. The second-placed teams in the group will be subject to playing qualifiers, along with the two best-placed teams in their Nations League group, who have not finished in the top two of their World Cup qualifying group. 

Gibraltar, Faroe Islands, Albania, Slovenia, Armenia, Montenegro, Wales, Hungary, Czech Republic and Austria are the favourites to avail this advantage of the competition.

The winners from pool A, Spain, France, Belgium and Italy are less favoured to go to the World Cup owing to their quality in European football, meaning the smaller teams will get an added advantage. 

The 12 teams (10 Group Runners Up + 2 Nations League Group Winners) will compete in three knockout paths, with the winners from each path entering the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. 

Kepa to start against Krasnodar in the Champions League tonight

0

Kepa Arrizabalaga has had a shocking run of form ever since Frank Lampard was appointed as the head coach of Chelsea. A failure to regain his form despite being given multiple opportunities even at the start of this season has seen the Spaniard get relegated to the bench at Stamford Bridge.

Edouard Mendy, having joined Chelsea for £22 million this summer, has been unbelievable between the sticks. He has since started every match that he has been physically available for, despite picking up an injury with Senegal on international duty.

Here is what Frank Lampard had to say to a press conference regarding the selection of Kepa over the newly recruited keeper from Rennes:

“There’s no pressure [to pick Kepa], and I am not saying it is being spoken about, it is to win games.”

“I do that through selections game-by-game and Mendy, of course, has made himself a permanent fixture at this point.”

“The pressure to win games means I pick people in form whether it is a striker, winger or goalkeeper, whoever. At the same time, the game tomorrow is a chance to give Edou a rest and give Kepa a game.”

“He is training well and he deserves it.”

Lampard also commented about the World Record Fee-keeper’s attitude towards the arrival of his replacement:

“How he has been with Edou is very supportive with him. I see that and I see it from afar sometimes as they work together with Hilario [goalkeeper coach] a lot.”

“What I do see when I watch from afar and we are in hotel rooms a lot at the moment is that he is someone who is supporting him quietly, which is right.”

“He is also training well which is the main thing that I look at because the training particularly for goalkeepers, because of the one-on-one training nature, there can’t be one that drops their level.”

“They have to all push each other and I see that in the group and I am very pleased with that from Kepa. His reaction has been spot on.”

Xiaomi has recently confirmed that they will be launching a new flagship QLED 4K TV in India on December 16th, 12 Noon. Indeed this will be the the company’s last big product launch in India before 2020 ends. 

Although the TV’s name has not yet been disclosed, speculations have arisen that this could be the Mi TV 5 Pro, launched in China already. It is because that TV too features Quantum Light Emitting Diode (QLED) display, and it is indeed a costly display tech but worth it for its amazing colors.

The tweet from Xiaomi India shows the upcoming Xiaomi is bezel-less 4K HDR10 TV with support got Dolby Vision. The alleged Mi TV 5 Pro has also featured QLED displays in 3 different sizes of 55 inches, 65 inches, and 75 inches.

Considering how competitive Xiaomi is with its pricing, you can expect it to make these new QLED TVs cost-efficient. The Mi TV 5 Pro comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage and should run Xiaomi’s own Patchwall OS with various streaming apps for India.

The QLED TV at a starting price of CNY 3,699, which is about Rs 41,700, and if the TV is priced around Rs. 50k, then Xiaomi could again stir the premium TV market in India.

Here’s why Paul Pogba wants to leave Manchester United

0

In a rather shocking announcement by Mino Raiola, to Tuttosport, Paul Pogba’s time at Manchester United is basically up. Pogba was trying to change his mind about Manchester United and tried to stay at the club from February to April. 

However, one of the main reasons why Pogba wants to leave is because of the contract negotiations. He wanted only a one-year extension, but the club wanted to extend his contract for four to five years. 

Pogba and Raiola are not looking for the right time, but the right club at this point. The problem, apparently, is not about money. The player is not happy at the club, nor with the style of play and possibly with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as well. 

Pogba was also demotivated by the club’s failure to sign a big star like Jadon Sancho in the summer. Furthermore, he has realized that he does not like the look of the big project at the Old Trafford. 

The price tag is going to be a big challenge for Manchester United, considering all the variables involved. Juventus could be a destination for Pogba, especially given he used to play with Pirlo and now his former teammate is the manager at the club. 

Moreover, Juventus can possibly pay his sky-high wage considering they are the biggest club in the world. Real Madrid are at the moment, not in the discussion since neither the board nor Zidane is currently in the race for the Frenchman. 

All that said, Pogba has mentioned that he wants to play for Real Madrid in the past on multiple occasions. Should the club move for him in the future, they could manage to get a sweet deal on the midfielder. 

There could also be scope for a swap deal with any one of the big stars at the club that is interested in Pogba. Throwing around names right now would be nothing more than blatant speculation. 

But considering the financial impact on the sport, the clubs could be looking to simply engage in swap deals for the foreseeable future.

Nokia to Lead 6G Project Hexa-X Funded by European Union

0

While 5G technology has yet not been properly introduced throughout the world, Bloomberg has reported that Nokia is already leading a team of companies and universities in a project to create 6G mobile technology. A wireless project called Hexa-X is being introduced to help jump-start what is being called 6G technology, a new generation of mobile technology.

The group working on Hexa-X consists of wireless gear making-peer and leading communication equipment manufacturer Ericsson AB, mobile carriers Orange SA and Telefonica SA, and other tech companies such as Intel Corp. and Siemens AG. According to the membership list, these leading technology companies will be joined by the University of Oulu and the University of Pisa.

Currently, 5G network deployment is still in its infancy. There are roughly 100 wireless carriers worldwide that offer the service in limited areas with Singapore introducing a 5G network from January 2021.

Nokia gets contract to set up 4G network on the Moon_TechnoSports.co.in

In addition to Finnish tech giant Nokia-led Hexa-X in Europe, there’s Next G Alliance and O-RAN Alliance in the U.S as well as reports of the Chinese government funding a 6G development group.

According to Bloomberg’s report, 6G technology could open up the door to possibilities such as real-time holographic imaging by linking up the technology in the human body and brain by using super high-frequency terahertz airwaves, as early as 2030.

According to a report from CNN, 6G phones in the future could allow users to test the air around them for allergens, explosives, or toxic chemicals and even check if your food is safe to eat. It could also use night vision and allow people to see clearly in the dark. Projected to be around 95 gigabits per second, it will be significantly faster than 5G networks.

Nokia’s head of North American Standardization Devaki Chandramouli, one of the engineers leading the Hexa-X group, says she initially wants to establish three objectives.

“The main goal will be to develop the vision, the road map, and the timeline,” she said according to Bloomberg. “Then put together a timeline for the technology direction. And the third point is to facilitate the interaction with U.S. government agencies to fund the research and also provide the input for technology development.”

The Taiwan OEM seems to be hyperactive this time to showcase its custom AMD RDNA 2 based GPUs to the public. Instead of a prime AIB partner like Sapphire, XFX PowerColor or ASRock, Asus has showcased some its first upcoming RX 6900 XT custom GPUs.

Yesterday they showcased their standard Radeon RX 6900 XT card, which almost looks like the reference GPU by AMD. However, the new TUF-RX6900XT-O16G-GAMING GPU is a modified version with a modern look and a new triple-fan layout to keep the GPU cool. It comes with two 11 blade fans and a single 13-blade fan in the middle.

The RX 6900 XT features Navi 21 XTX GPU along with 300W TBP. It also comes with 2250 MHz of maximum boost clock. Much like its predecessors, the card is also powered by dual 8-pin power connectors; being a factory-overclocked GPU, you should expect better gaming performance out of it.

FEATURES

  • Axial-tech fan design has been enhanced with more fan blades and a new rotation scheme.
  • Dual ball fan bearings can last up to twice as long as a sleeve bearing designs.
  • An all-aluminum shroud, reinforced frame, and metal backplate enhance durability.

  • 144-hour validation program puts cards through a series of stringent tests to ensure compatibility with the latest games.
  • vented backplate prevents hot air from recirculating through the cooling array.
  • GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, and system monitoring.
