0

The Chinese smartphone maker has extended its smartphone market and is already into various AIoT products, including Smart TVs. Although it’s been a few years only since it has launched its TV business, the brand, with its competitive pricing, has captured its home market for quite a long time now.

Recently it has emerged to be the No.1 TV Brand in China as per the financial report for the third quarter of the year. The report went on to show that Xiaomi’s IoT and consumer products segment has increased by 16.1% from just 15.6 billion yuan recorded in the third quarter of 2019 to 18.1 billion yuan recorded in Q3 2020. 

Xiaomi is among the few brands that can dominate the AIoT market with its variety of smart solutions. Nevertheless, it has captured the Indian market too, and its recent notebook sales also is a major revenue booster.

In China, the sales for its Smart TVs and notebooks rose from 5.8 billion yuan in the third quarter of 2019 to 5.9 billion yuan in the third quarter of 2020 despite the pandemic. This is as much as YoY growth of 2.6% and the report also showing that Xiaomi has shipped almost 3.1 million units of Mi TVs in Q3 itself, highest ever by any brand.

The shipping estimates published by the market research firm Avi Cloud (AVC) show that Xiaomi has maintained its consistency apart for seven straight quarters in China. It is predicted that Xiaomi’s smart TV shipments will be continuing to rank among the top five across the globe.

IPL will be back in India in 2021?

Indian Premier League 2020 ended just a few weeks ago and Mumbai Indians became the champion for the record 5th times this year. But BCCI and IP Governing Council already started to plan about the next year’s IPL.

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly hinted at the return of IPL in India in 2021. IPL 2020 was held in UAE because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. But it might be back in India again next year after Sourav Ganguly told this as “it is a tournament for India”.

936323 912438 ganguly IPL will be back in India in 2021?

“We are very much trying because it is a tournament for India. People spoke about the success of the IPL, I told all of them that you have to be in India to see what IPL is to India.”-Ganguly said.

“Domestic season will start shortly. India is touring England (in 2021). It’s a lot easier having bilateral series because the number of people is much less. When it gets to eight teams or more, it is difficult. We are trying to hold the IPL in India but we have to assess the situation. Many are talking about a second wave, I have heard the numbers have gone up in Mumbai and Delhi. So, we have to monitor it and ensure that things are in order.”- Ganguly added.

IPL was super successful this season as declared by BCCI earlier. Fans are expecting some new changes next year as well. If it is finally back in India again then it will be highly exciting for sure.

Cyberpunk 2077 will have a massive 175+ hours of gameplay

0

We all are excited about the release of Cyberpunk 2077. With various delays, the CD PROJECT RED’s game has fans worldwide at the edge of their seats. The first-person open-world match is rumored to cover even larger territory than Witcher 3, but the latest news has everyone baffled.

The massive first-person game is said to offer a total playtime of 175:43 hours. The news was first released by a journalist Babiel on Twitter. Another baffling information is that the game duration hours are still 175 even though they have not fully completed the game. Seriously it is going to be a lengthy one there, mates.

Several journalists had hands-on time with the game, indicating a rather meaty title here to spend time with. The game offers a wide variety of vehicles, weapons, side missions, and main quests that appear to be in the showcases. There is also a vast world teeming with a personality to check out, similar to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

After several delays and pushbacks, the game is finally set to drop on December 10 across most platforms. Apart from journalists’ previews, CD Projekt RED has kept much of the game close to its chest beyond a few gameplay videos and Night City Wire episodes. So most of the stuff about the Night city is still unknown. But since Keanu was the one who announced the game in the first place, we know to expect great things from the title.

Previously the devs have confirmed that the game will support Ray Tracing, which will reinforce the visual effects. Also, it has to be seen, if the game can handle continuous crowds of up to 300 NPCs in one location.

The players are allowed to import a maximum of 20 locations in Hitman 3 from the previous two games. You don’t have to worry about the graphics, it will improve throughout all three games. This feature is a good one to attract the players who have missed this secret Agent’s previous stories. Now, they can experience the total Hitman trilogy.

Hitman 3 will be officially released on January 20, 2021. The game is going to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One,  and Stadia.

After the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung to launch its successor, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 pretty soon next year. As of now, we have got to know a lot of things (some are rumored and some are the confirmed) regarding this flagship of Samsung. For a few months, there was a dilemma in our mind whether the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will come With S-Pen Support. But recently, Samsung has confirmed that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 will arrive with S-pen support. Apart from it, another confirmation has come out from Samsung that the company will discontinue its Galaxy Note series forever.

As per the Samsung officials, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 would arrive in June next year. The company has been working hard to mass-produce this premium product next year. In terms of the S-pen support, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung will use the S-pen with the Galaxy S21 Ultra as well. This can be a valid reason why Samsung is about to discontinue its Galaxy Note series in the future. So, we are going to witness more premium segments from Samsung in place of the Note series, next year.

As per the leaks from the tipsters, we can find that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is in its unfolded state with two hinges and a keyboard sticking out from one of the sides. Generally, in these kinds of folded smartphones, we can see a single hinge, which means single folded. But in this case, the smartphone can be dual folded, credit to the dual hinge. For information, it is not the original picture of the upcoming phone, it is just a 3D render of the phone.

Apart from it, we can also find a sliding keyboard sticking out from one side. So, it looks like a tiny laptop and looks great as well. So, if are doing some official stuff, then you can convert this phone into this kind of mini laptop and can work with a great experience. This is a sliding QWERTY keyboard with touch-sensitive keys. As per the reports, this upcoming phone will have a light indicator in the hinge as well.

As per the display and the under-display selfie camera, Samsung has developed a new and improved screen for its display which supports the under-display camera. The report says that the gaps between the pixels of the display have been made wider to allow light to pass through by which the light can excite the sensor inside the screen and it can take an image of the user. In this technology, the light is refracted by the OLED display layer.
