Realme X7 series have already made people talking about the company and now it seems they are ready to flood more smartphones in the ever-growing market. Yesterday, on the database of China’s TENAA authority, we saw a new Realme smartphone appear.
The model number of this device is RMX2202. We saw a few images on the listing as well. The backside of the smartphone showed the presence of ‘GT’ branding. Even earlier, Realme has stated that Race is just a codename and not an actual brand. Thus, we expect that Realme is planning to launch this device as a part of the Realme GT series.
So yes, as I told yesterday, the Realme Race series could very well launch as the Realme GT series. The moniker has been trademarked in India. Feel free to retweet.#Realme#RealmeRace#RealmeGTpic.twitter.com/itPGbpHYBc
A Realme smartphone with the same model number was certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) recently which gives us an indication the Realme GT might be heading to India. Not only this, another Realme smartphone has finished its inclusion process at the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The model number of this device is RMX3081. It has received TKDN certification in the second week of January. It is expected that we see this Realme smartphone in the Indian market very soon. You can view the tweet below.

The specification of Realme Race is not known, though we can expect it to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile processor. It can have 12 GB of RAM along with 256 GB of internal storage. It is also expected that this Realme Race comes with Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS.
A few earlier reports have already suggested that the Realme Race Pro smartphone might have a 6.81-inch OLED screen. It can also have a spectacular refresh rate of 160 Hz with a 3K resolution support. It might house a powerful 5,000mAh battery paired with 125W superfast charging compatibility.
Talking about optics, it can feature a triple camera system which includes a 64 MP primary camera, 13 MP secondary lens, and another 13 MP lens. One can expect it to feature 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of internal storage.
February 9, 2021, Taipei, Taiwan – SSUPD, the sister brand of LIAN LI and developer of high-end PC cases introduces Meshlicious — a revolutionary ITX PC case built in collaboration with Ncase — that features three full mesh panels and a tempered glass panel to deliver unbeatable cooling while displaying the PC’s internals.
An optional fourth 1 mm thick steel full mesh panel can be snapped on to encase the PC in full mesh for maximum airflow with a functional, minimalist aesthetic. The Meshlicious is available in matte black and white finishes.
“For years, small form factor cases have been on the market for users looking for low-key, compact PC builds.” says Ssu, Founder of SSUPD. “But with the Meshlicious, we aimed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in a PC build by surrounding it in mesh. It’s aiming to be the top full mesh-capable ITX case, and designed with user-friendliness in mind to the smallest details. With a clean and stripped down look and excellent cooling, DIY enthusiasts can take their PC builds in exciting new directions.”
Meshlicious handles raw power and breaths cool
The Meshlicious supports high-performance water cooling configurations, including CPU air coolers of up to 72mm, two AIOs (all in one) 120mm or one AIO of 240mm or 280mm. It supports up to a 4 slot GPU card of up to 320mm for serious gaming or design rendering. The GPU mounting strut is adjustable vertically, allowing for adjustments to the space available for the cables that are connected to the GPU.
The motherboard tray functions as a divider splitting the available space between the motherboard and CPU side with the GPU side. The motherboard rear I/O offers easy access to the CPU, and a 90 degree HDMI cable is included for easy connections to the HDMI port. It supports an ATX Power Supply of up to 160mm, with SFX and SFX-L power supplies also both supported.
Meshlicious is small but versatile
The Meshlicious is small enough to save space while satisfying both gamers and designers in compute-intensive tasks. It can handle serious storage, supporting configurations of up to three 2.5” SSD drives when paired with a vertical GPU. It also supports storage configurations of three 2.5” SSDs, two 3.5” HDDs, or four 2.5” SSDs for users requiring additional storage in their ITX build.
The clean minimal design makes room for two USB ports on the front, one USB Type-A and one Type-C. In keeping user-friendliness in mind, it features a no-headache assembly with just ten easy steps.
Meshlicious saves space on desktops
The Meshlicious is small enough to be portable (360mm x 245mm x 166.4mm) and at 14.67 liters it’s large enough for components that pack a punch. With a footprint of only 245mm x 166.4mm, users can maximize desk or floor space to create a modern, minimalist decor in their workstation or gaming station. With the included glass panel, users can show off their impressive internals, or with the purchase of an additional mesh panel, they can build a full mesh PC case that reaches new levels of cooling.

According to several data miners, the Flash, a character from DC comics is coming to Fortnite. It’s pretty surprising to see the scarlet speedster fits into season 5’s hunter aesthetic. But counting Flash, the number is now ten for the DC skins.
It seems the red suit of Flash is primarily inspired by the fourth season of the CW series, where the character Barry Allen gets a pretty significant upgrade to his older threads.
How to get the Flash Fortnite skin
According to HYPEX, Epic is going to arrange a short competition for the players who want to earn the skin before it actually comes in the item shop.
It gained a name – “Flash Cup”. The tournament is going to be in duos format and will begin on February 10. In the previous competitions, Epic gave the skin to the top players from each region. We can quickly expect from the North America and Europe region; the top 100 players will receive the skin as a reward.
Epic hasn’t informed yet about how the scoring will work, where the players will need to be placed in the tournament to get the skin and some other information except the date.
As per assumption, completing the competition, after five to seven days, the skin could appear in the item shop. Seeing the previous skins, the Flash skin is going to cost between 1,200 V-bucks to 2,000. If any other information comes out from Epic regarding this, we’ll bring everything in detail to you. So, stay tuned with us.

Having announced this budget GPU back at CES 2021, finally, we have a launch date for the budget RTX 30-series GPU, priced at a modest $329. Originally announced to be available in late February, as per Wccftech, the RTX 3060 is all set to be launched on 25th of February at 6 AM Pacific Time.
Obviously, at launch getting this GPU, which is touted to provide up to 10x the Ray-Tracing Performance of GTX 1060. As most gamers love the GTX series of GPUs, the budget RTX 3060 will be an important card for a lot of budget gamers.
The RTX 3060 brings amazing hardware ray-tracing capabilities and support for NVIDIA DLSS and other technologies with its efficient, high-performance architecture and the second generation of NVIDIA RTX. The newest member of the next generation of the world’s most popular GPU is priced at just $329.
NVIDIA has launched the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti for $399 earlier which has seen a massive demand from the gamers after it was on par with previous generation’s GeForce RTX 2080 Super. We have already reviewed the Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti on our website.
The RTX 3060’s key specifications include:
13 shader-TFLOPs
25 RT-TFLOPs for ray tracing
101 tensor-TFLOPs to power NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling)
192-bit memory interface
12GB of GDDR6 memory
Although NVIDIA is confident to satisfy the huge demand of gamers, only time will tell if both NVIDIA and its AIB partners can provide the RTX 3060 at the MSRP.
Steam hit a record concurrent users of 25.4 million on January 2, which lasted for over a month. Till yesterday, the number was 16,401,443. The number is of the connected users, not players in-game. At the time, the in-game player number was 7.3 million, which is below the record of March 2020s 8.1 million in-game players, back to when the COVID-19 pandemic just appeared.
At the time, the top five games by player count were Dota 2, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and Tale of Immortal, a Chinese RPG that is now available only in Simplified Chinese. The lunar new year vacations will start from this weekend, which could gain a little boost. However, the numbers of Steam have been rising steadily for almost a year now.
In February 2020, the concurrent record of Steam was only 18.8 million. This took nearly two years to reach the previous record of 18.5 million when PUBG got its hype. The current rate of growth is a noticeable change.
Valve described in its review of the 2020 year, where it celebrated the 120 million monthly users, “While Steam already saw significant growth in 2020 before COVID-19 lockdowns, video game playtime surged when people started staying home, dramatically increasing the number of customers buying and playing games, and hopefully bringing some joy to counter-balance some of the craziness that was 2020”.

India lost the first Test against England in Chennai by 227 runs.
In the first Innings, England scored a massive 578 runs. In response, India was all out for just 337 runs. England denied the chance of ‘follow-on’. In the second innings, Indian bowlers did a pretty good job and restricted them within just 178.
England set a target of 420 runs in the last innings to win the game. But excellent spell from England bowlers especially James Anderson [3 wickets for 17 runs in 11 overs] and Jack Leach [4 wickets for 76 runs in 26 overs]. India lost 5 wickets in the morning session as James Anderson bowled a vintage spell of reverse swing. Virat Kohli [72] and Shubman Gill [50] had a better day. But other Indian batsmen failed to deliver today.
ENGLAND WIN 🎉
An all-round performance by the visitors has given them a 227-run victory over India.
After the match, Indian skipper Virat Kohli said, “I don’t think we put enough pressure on them with the ball in the first half. Collectively as a bowling unit, fast bowlers and Ashwin were good in the first innings but we also needed to contain a few more runs and create pressure.
“Credit to England, they got stuck in and put up a big total on the board. Our body language and intensity were not up to the mark, the second innings we were much better. We were better in the second half of the first innings with the bat, not the first four batters. We have to understand the things that we have done decently in this game and the things that we haven’t and as an aside, we are always looking to improve. England was far more professional and consistent throughout the Test match than we were.
A huge win over India in the first Test has propelled England to the top of the ICC World Test Championship standings 👀#WTC21pic.twitter.com/8AaC8XMrjr
After this loss, India now drops down to 4th position in the ICC World Test Championship Points Table. In comparison, England climbed up to the top spot.
The second Test of the series will start on 13th of February. Team India will surely be looking for a strong response and level the series. They will also have the home advantage as a limited number of fans will be allowed inside the stadium in the second test.
