Qualcomm’s latest mid-range 5G SoC, Snapdragon 750G has been launched and now it has been spotted on Geekbench scoring some amazing numbers. It is basically an upgraded version of last year’s Snapdragon 730G but comes with an X52 5G modem, same found on the 765G.
So, the new Snapdragon 750G features the new Kryo 570 CPU which uses Cortex-A77 cores clocked at 2.2GHz which offers a 20 percent performance improvement over the Kryo 470 found in Snapdragon 730G. So, on paper, it obviously looked like the new chipset could beat the superior 765G, however, now its proved.
As per Digital Chat Station’s latest tweet, the new Snapdragon 750G score 650 points in Geekbench’s single-core test while scoring around 1950 points in the multi-threaded test. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 765G scores around 600 points in the single-core test while 1700 points in the multi-threaded test.
Millet Snapdragon 750G engineering machine GeekBench5 running points, single-threaded 650/multi-threaded 1950. For reference, Snapdragon 765G is 600/1700, Dimensity 820 is 630/2100, and Kirin 820 is 600/2200. The product positioning of this machine will not be very high.. (1/2)
This is a clear win for the new Snapdragon 750G that could actually lower the price of 5G offerings without compromising on the performance.
Also, if the new Qualcomm chip is compared against its sole rival MediaTek’s new Dimensity 820, that scores 630 points in the single-core test while 2100 points in the multi-threaded test, the Qualcomm chip almost touches its rival chip and is similar to Kirin 820 that has 600 points in single-core and 2200 points in multi-core.
The success of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G will solely depend on the fact how the US chip giant prices the chip. Hopefully, the new SoC shall give a breath of fresh air to the upcoming mid-range smartphones with 5G support.
Despite only two matchdays into the 20/21 season, the race for the Golden Boot is on! Since there are multiple players that can win the award for their respective teams this season, we decided to make the list a little more diverse and consider who is the most likely to win the Golden Boot award from each of the predicted top-half teams.
Injuries, form and past records do come into account while predicting the entries. However, it is difficult to call the shots in football. You never know who might end up surprising us!
So, without further ado, here are our predictions.
Arsenal: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
This one is an absolute no-brainer. The Gabon international has been in unbelievable form and captained the Gunners to FA Cup success last season. Being off the mark already, Aubameyang is sure to be at the top of the list.
Chelsea: Timo Werner
Although he is yet to score his first Premier League goal, Werner looks poised for a brilliant first season in England. The German was neck-deep in battle with Lewandowski in the Bundesliga last season and has the hunger to succeed in England as well.
Crystal Palace: Wilfried Zaha
Palace have won both of their first two fixtures and look unstoppable as of now. Zaha looks set to stay in London, with no suitors willing to prize him away. The winger already has 3 goals to his name and is Palace’s most important attacker. This could be the season where Zaha finally shows his class throughout the season.
Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Big Dom already has four goals to his name and shares the top spot with Son. Should Ancelotti be able to bring out the best of the striker consistently, he might just end up having a 15-20 goal season.
Leicester City: Jamie Vardy
It is hard to bet against last season’s golden boot winner and the form that he has been in. Despite being in his thirties, Vardy shows no signs of slowing down and could successfully defend his crown as the top scorer in the Premier League.
Liverpool: Sadio Mane
Given the sheer quality of the players at Liverpool, even the full-backs could be in contention. However, few can offer the consistency and the clinical finishing that Mane brings to Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Manchester City: Raheem Sterling
With Aguero on the sidelines and Jesus being inconsistent in front of goal, Sterling is the biggest threat up front. The England international must move past his mistakes last season and deliver his best in this campaign.
Manchester United: Marcus Rashford
Despite Rashford being moved out wide and Martial playing striker, the former is more consistent in front of goal. Rashford’s pace makes him an immediate threat to any opposition he faces and could win the award if he capitalises on his talents.
Tottenham Hotspur: Heung-Min Son
Son is already way ahead of the rest this season, netting 4 against Southampton over the weekend. Should the Korean be consistent on the pitch, he could overtake Kane as the prime candidate for the Golden Boot this season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Raul Jimenez
The Mexican international has been a serious threat under manager Nuno Espirito Santo. With the quality that the team has, it is almost certain that Jimenez will be somewhere around the top of the list.
2018’s hugely-successful hit game Spider-Man is now coming to Play Station 5. The game will be the remastered version of the Play Station 4 title, and it will also contain the DLC Spider-Man: Miles Morales. If you have purchased Spider-Man for PS4 and want to play the remastered edition in the PS5, unfortunately, you will not be able to carry the save games from PS4 to PS5.
A fan in Twitter asked Insomniac Games whether Marvel’s Spider-Man saves will carry over from PS4 to PS5 or not. On reply Insomniac Games, the developer of the game twitted and confirmed that not it will not. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered is treated by developers as an entirely new release with new features like ray-tracing, faster loading, and support for the DualSense controller’s new haptic feedback.
Saves won’t transfer from the original game to the Remaster
There are now question arising on the PS5’s backward compatibility with PS4 games. As we know that PS5 will be 99% backward compatible with the PS4 titles Sony has tested on it so far, but Sony hasn’t clarified which games won’t work just yet.
Sony clarified that we will be able to play 18 classic PS4 games on PS5 and for it, the only requirement is to have a PS Plus subscription. But it’s still unclear that by which mode the PS5 user can play the PS4 game i.e. either disc or download versions of those games on PS5. Moreover, whether the previous saves of the game will carry over or not.
According to the developer of the game, if you are buying the PS5 Deluxe Edition which has a disc drive, you won’t be able to get a physical version of Spider-Man Remastered on its own, as it will be available as a part of Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition.
iOS 14 brought with itself a bundle of customization and personalization features to iPad and iPhones. Most of the personalization features are amazing. But one particular feature which has seemed to catch the user’s eyes is the new widgets launched with iOS 14.
The new widgets let users spice up their homepage with anything from custom notes to astronomy and weather reports. These options were available on android. but now that they have arrived on iPhone they have already created a buzz among the users.
Developers are trying to combine these widgets into various custom layouts that can be tweaked and even sold.
The new option to create a custom layout for the iPhone has made a small utility called Widgetsmith the center of attention. All tutorials available to create custom layouts are centered around the utility.
Using the utility tool, a TikTok creator used an orange, red, and brown color palette to coincide with the aesthetics of Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and the fall season.
Other home screen desings like Star Wars and Marvel are also going viral.
designing the perfect layout can take several hours — but it’s famous among users who are trying to make a splash on Instagram or TikTok.
A recent report claims that Gia, a 15-year-old Twilight fan, spent five hours making her Twilight-dedicated home screen, which includes a GIF lock screen image, characters from the Twilight films as app icons, and Widgetsmith boxes used to display Twilight dialogue.
Some layout is appealing enough to even pay for. Developers have started selling iOS 14 packs for as much as $4.99.
Sharing the designs and skills to create custom layouts has become a new trend on platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok. People have even created new accounts dedicated especially for these tutorials.
The #ios14tutorial hashtag on TikTok has already garnered close to 20 million views.
It’s hard to say how long this trend will continue. But since the customized widget layout has already entered iOS. The home screen customization will only see a rise in upcoming updates.

Xiaomi is going to launch a new Mi TV Master ‘Supreme Commemorative Edition’ (translated). The TV will be launched on 28th September in China. The company has not shared details of this upcoming TV but they have released a promo poster of this upcoming device, revealing that the TV features 8K resolutions and 5G connectivity.
The development of this upcoming TV was sheared on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo revealing the fact that the TV will use Mini-LED Technology. We are expecting that, this upcoming TV will become the successor of the previously launched Mi TV Master 65-inches 4K OLED in China, but that has not made its way to India till now.
According to a Weibo post by one of the Xiaomi’s accounts, the Mi TV Master ‘Supreme Commemorative Edition’ will be surfaced in China on the 28th of September. The promo poster also reveals that the TV will feature 8K of high resolution and will support through a 5G as well.
As per the Weibo promo poster, this upcoming TV will come with Mini-LED Technology that provides improved contrast ratio and deeper blacks compared to normal LED panels that are lit with regular LEDs, but the Mini-LEDs are not smaller than regular LEDs. This upcoming TV is also featured flat display technology.
Xiaomi is also claimed that this upcoming TV will set a benchmark for ultra-high-ends TVs for the next five years. It is expected that the TV will have a higher refresh rate than 60Hz, HDMI 2.1 ports, slim bezels, and may more high-end specifications.
As of now, this is all the information that the company has provided, but we have to wait for next week to know more important specifications of this upcoming premium Smart TV.
Far Cry 6 is the upcoming action-adventure first-person shooter game, is all set with a new frictional territory. Developed by Ubisoft Toronto and published by Ubisoft, the game leads us to a Caribbean vacation in the fictional country of Yara, where things are, unsurprisingly, a bit chaotic. It is set amidst the riots attempting to boot evil dictator El Presidente from power.
Far Cry 6 is the sixth main installment of the Far Cry series, which will release on 18th February 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Google Stadia.
Far Cry 6’s setting
For Far Cry 6, Ubisoft planned to jump back again to a tropical setting, and the setting is described as the “the largest Far Cry playground to date” and “a tropical paradise frozen in time”. The game is all set in a fictional Caribbean island of Yara which is inspired by Cuba. The island is ruled by a fascist dictator named “El Presidente” Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito). The dictator has a son named Diego who will become the successor after his father.
Main Protagonist
You’ll play the game as a revolutionary named Dani Rojas, a local yaran and a guerrilla soldier fighting for the independence of his nation. As you were given the option of selecting the gender of the player in Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn, you will be presented with the same in the Far Cry 6. If you choose Male, you’ll get the voice of Sean Rey and if you choose Female, you’ll get the voice of Nisa Gunduz.
Your main objective of the game is to fight against Antón Castillo’s men and takedown Antón Castillo, the ruler of Yara who is in power for 50 years.
Guns for Hire
Like Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn, you’ll be competent to hire companions to jog around and fight with you. This time it is named “Amigos for Hire” and one of the amigos is a wiener dog named Chorizo.

Is Diego young Vaas Montenegro?
There are lots of speculations going around about Diego, the son of Antón Castillo after the release of the cinematic trailer of Far Cry 6. It is speculated that Diego might be the young Vaas Montenegro and the game is a prequel to the Far Cry 3. Vaas Montenegro is one of the most iconic and fan-favorite villains of the Far Cry series, who appeared in Far cry 3.
Two major theories support the claim that Diego is Vass, they are-
If you have played Far Cry 3 and seen Vass closely you must have noticed a scar in the right eyebrow. The same scar is present in the same place on Diego’s eyebrow.
Vass was born in 1985, and Far Cry 6 settings take place around 1990, which suggests Diego to be the young Vass.
All said we are eagerly waiting to get some gameplay trailers of Far Cry 6 and last but not the least to get our doubt’s cleared by Ubisoft about Diego being Vass.
Lionel Messi was all set and determined to leave Barcelona this summer and in all probability reunite with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. He wanted to terminate his contract and walk away for free.
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu was reluctant not to let Messi leave Camp Nou and finally the Argentine decided to stay for atleast one more season.
Now, as the little magician is going to start another new campaign at Camp Nou, we take a look at the records that Messi can break this season:
Most games for Barcelona
This record is currently held by Xavi Hernandez. He has played 767 games for Barcelona. Messi is currently on 731 appearances for the Blaugranas and if he manages to stay fit he can easily surpass this milestone.
Most seasons spent at Barcelona
This record is also held by Xavi along with Rexach. The duo has played 17 seasons at Camp Nou. Messi has played 16 seasons and this 2020-21 campaign will be his 17th, so he will equal the club record.
Most goals scored for a single club
This record is held by Brazilian great, Pele. He has scored 643 goals for Brazilian club Santos. Going by the high standards of Lionel Messi who is currently on 634 goals for Barcelona, he can easily break this record.
Most number of titles won with a single team
This record is held by Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs. He has won 36 trophies at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Messi has 34 trophies playing at Camp Nou. Winning the Champions League can be a difficult task but if Barcelona manages to win the LaLiga and Copa Del Rey, Messi will equal this record.
Lionel Messi has a great hunger for winning and he likes to be a part of a winning project. These are all the probable personal records which Messi will be aiming for in the 2020-21 season.
Football is a game where money is splashed around in crazy amounts. While clubs spend millions recruiting players every single transfer window, some join clubs for free.
Most commonly, this takes place when a certain player’s contract with their current club expires. When that happens, the player is free to be approached by clubs for recruitment. The best part about it is that the clubs do not have to pay anything to sign them.
With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting finances heavily, a free transfer is the most constructive solution to the problem of finances and recruiting. With that said, let’s have a look at the 10 best free transfers that have been completed in the current transfer window.
10. Alexis Sanchez
Alexis Sanchez was one of the most horrific transfers in the history of football. The former Arsenal sensation just could not get things going at Old Trafford. He was subsequently loaned out to Inter for the 19/20 campaign and has now permanently joined them for free.
9. Arturo Vidal
The second Inter player to make the list, Arturo Vidal reunited with former Juventus coach Antonio Conte at the San Siro. The former Juventus faithful is now united in an attempt to end the streak of silverware destined for Turin.
8. Adam Lallana
Lallana joined Liverpool from Southampton in the 14/15 season. He made 178 appearances for them and featured 261 times for Southampton. After six years at Anfield, the attacking midfielder is now a part of Brighton under Graham Potter. Despite being hit by injuries quite often, Lallana can be a key player for the Seagulls this season.
7. Pedro
Pedro has won everything there is to win for club and country, featuring for Barcelona and Chelsea most prominently. The Spaniard is now a Roma player and despite being in his 30s, can bring a lot to any club he plays for.
6. Willian
via Arsenal twitter
It is hard to imagine Willian in anything but a Chelsea shirt. However, we will be seeing the Brazilian in an Arsenal shirt every week this season. Having been unable to agree to a three-year contract extension with Chelsea, he is now a player for their local rivals, Arsenal. The 33-year-old adds the right amount of experience to Arteta’s rebuilding project at the Emirates.
5. David Silva
After spending a decade representing Manchester City, David Silva finally returns to Spain. Though he did not manage to win a Champions League with the Citizens, his passion, talent and achievements for the club have been rewarded with a statue outside the Etihad Stadium. David Silva now joins Real Sociedad to see out the last years of his illustrious career.
4. Thiago Silva
After 8 long years loaded with silverware at PSG, Thiago Silva has finally joined the Premier League. Despite being 36, the veteran could be the solution to Frank Lampard’s problems at the back which have plagued them throughout last season. The Brazilian intends on making it to the 2022 World Cup, and with his calibre, it might just happen.
3. Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez joined Barcelona from Liverpool and went on to become one of the best strikers in their history. After six years at Camp Nou, the Uruguayan has rescinded his contract following the payment of his last year’s wages and has now joined Atletico Madrid for free.
2. Dani Parejo
In one of the most shocking departures of the summer, Valencia Captain Dani Parejo has joined local rivals, Villareal. Parejo is regarded as one of the best midfielders in La Liga, and the player has stated that he intended to retire with Valencia. However, that does not seem to be happening as Villareal have succeeded in signing the Spanish midfielder, who is a part of a brilliant squad under Unai Emery.
1. James Rodriguez
It was first reported that Everton signed James for about 20 million pounds. However, it was later revealed that there was no transfer fee involved. The 29-year-old linked up with Carlo Ancelotti for the third time in his career and looks set to earn minutes at Goodison Park following a dormant spell at Real Madrid in an attempt to revive his career.
