Samsung is going to launch another A-series smartphone, dubbed as the Galaxy A12 5G. By its name, it is confirmed that this phone supports 5G connectivity. As per the reports, the Galaxy A12 is going to be a fancier version of the Galaxy M12. This will be another mid-range budget smartphone from Samsung. Recently a report has come out that Samsung’s Russian site has added a support page with a model number SM-A125F/DSN. This model number clearly indicates that the phone is going to be the Galaxy A12. This phone is likely to be the successor of the Galaxy A11 that launched earlier this year. Let’s check out what are the specifications we can expect from this upcoming phone.
Moreover, the Galaxy A12 has been surfaced on the Geekbench website, by which some of its specs we’ve known yet. This phone runs on the Android 10 OS and is powered by the MediaTek Helio P35 chipset. Regarding the display, this phone is more likely to have a 6.4-inch HD+ Infinity-O Display (similar to the Galaxy A11). This phone is expected to be available in four different distinct color variants.
The Helio P35SoC of this phone is said to be paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal storage. Regarding the camera, this phone is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup which includes a primary camera of 13-megapixel (similar to the Galaxy A11). In terms of connectivity, this phone supports 5G. No information yet regarding the battery or charging capacity.
As per the availability, the Galaxy A12 is expected to get launched in the first half of 2021 (most probably in January) whereas the pricing is still unknown. On the other hand, Samsung has launched the Galaxy A11 back in March this year at a price tag of THB 5,199 (roughly Rs. 12,700).
Samsung is going to launch its Galaxy Z Fold 3 pretty soon and the main highlight of this phone is it is the first Samsung smartphone to feature an Under-display selfie camera (UDC). Next year, Samsung will launch its S21 series as well. But unfortunately, the S21 series will miss out on this UDC feature. ZTE has been the first one to introduce such technology in front of the world with its ZTE Axon 20. Now, the South-Korean tech-monster Samsung is ready to introduce the UDC for the first time.
As of now, we have some reports regarding how Samsung is working on such technology. So, let’s highlight the issue. As per an industry insider, 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. To get this thing, Samsung has used some special algorithms as well. Samsung LSI has supplied the camera module.

Regarding the gaps, those are not wider on the whole display. The gaps are made wider just over the camera lens to allow light to pass through it. As per the availability, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to get launched in the third quarter of 2021. So, another flagship from Samsung with the most improved selfie camera is on its way.
A recent render from 91mobiles shows the different colour options and the design of the upcoming POCO M3 smartphone. This time the POCO M3 is getting a different look from its predecessors. The launch of POCO M3 is set at November 24th, but the company has not revealed any information about its specifications and design as well. A few days back with the name reveal, the phone had also appeared in TENAA website revealing some of its specifications. The phone is not mysterious right now, so let’s discuss about the features and design of the phone.
As the render shows the design of the phone, let’s talk know about it first then will move towards the specification of the POCO M3.
The image shared by 91mobiles shows three colour options of the POCO M3 phone. The colour options shown in the image are – black, yellow. and blue. We can see a drop notch design on the display. The back panel of the phone is more interesting because it resembles a similar design of a recently launched phone. The back of the phone is monochrome design but the glass of the camera portion is extended to give an unique look on the phone. Though we have already seen this kind of design on the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition, but it definitely not a copy as the gap in release dates are of few weeks and so, according to us, it is impossile to make a copy within such a short time. At the back we can see a triple rear camera design with LED flash.There is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner
Specifications of POCO M3 (Rumored)
The phone is expected to come with a 6.53-inch FHD+ Dot Drop display and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset paired with 4GB RAM. As for the cameras, the POCO M3 is tipped to offer a 48MP primary sensor. As per the TENAA specification list the other camera details has not been revealed yet. Moreover, it is expected that the device will pack a large 6,000mAh battery and support 18W fast charging.
The new AMD GPUs have created a lot of hype in the gaming community as because of its handsome specs against NVIDIA’s RTX 30-series GPUs. However, NVIDIA’s stock was pathetic and people got sick of waiting for the GPUs and a lot of people were inclined to opt for AMD instead.
But, the situation after day 1 availability of these new AMD GPUs things seem far more concerning and bad than even NVIDIA. As the renowned YouTuber JayzTwoCents in his video talked about the availability of these two new RX 6800 GPUs and it doesn’t look good.
AMD promised far better stocks than NVIDIA and it turns out to be worse instead of their own reference GPUs. Hopefully their AIB cards, from 25th November onwards, will be available more than their own reference ones but still stock availability will be a problem.
Not only with GPUs, AMD is having a hard time to meet up with the insane demands for the new Ryzen 5000 series CPUs as well. This has led to price inflation from various retailers and we hope this situation gets resolved with time.
Okay, so the hype about the new Ryzen 5000 series processors have taken over the fans throughout the globe. However, in 2020, one thing remains constant is the tremendous demand for new PC components and that has raised new issues like out of stock or price hikes.
I won’t be surprised with this situation as it was the case a year back with the advent of Ryzen 3000 as well. However, the thing that really shocked me is the ridiculous pricing of the Ryzen 5 5600X on Amazon India today, I expected almost 10-20% price hike at launch for these new processors.
To my surprise this price hike has gone to some other level, this budget processor is being sold at a whopping ₹ 38,999 including GST and without GST it sums up to ₹ 33,050. The original MSRP for the Ryzen 5 5600X is about Rs. 22,990 and its almost Rs. 10k more than it should be, which is totally nonsense.
What surprised me more is that people are buying at such high prices and its already made its headway to the top processor list. This itself explains the popularity of the new AMD CPUs and the fact how good it is for gaming, even this budget Ryzen 5 beats Intel’s flagship Core i9-10900K in gaming.
Also productivity is a key area where AMD always excels but now with good gaming performance as well, Ryzen 5000 series processors are undoubtedly the best bang for the buck. But, please do avoid such price hikes as things will get better as more stocks pour in.
In recent weeks, OnePlus has brought updates for OnePlus Notes, OnePlus Weather, and OnePlus Gallery, which all has introduced the design of OxygenOS 11. Now OnePlus comes with a new version of OnePlus Game Space (v2.5.0) via the Play Store. The new OxygenOS 11 UI is included in the application now.
OxygenOS 11 has brought a new user interface for the stock OnePlus applications. Based on Android 11, the latest version of OxygenOS is much smarter, smoother, and faster than ever before. This version is designed to make one-handed operations much easier. In OxygenOS 11, when you open a menu, you will find the touch controls are closer to your thumbs.
As you can see in the images, the OnePlus Game Space v2.5.0 has a new design now. At the top, there is a lot of empty space and for easier access, the elements are now shifted closer to the bottom of the screen. Now the app has a navy blue colored wallpaper in the background. Also, in the game settings menu and stats menu, you will notice this color change. Other than, seeing those images, we can say nothing much is changed in the new version.
New Setting UI
Old Setting UI
XDA-Developers has claimed that the latest version of the app has been shown the green signal to reach out to its users. But in the Play Store, there is still no update yet, not even any APK of the new version is available.
After upgrading the UI for gallery, weather, and game space application, now we can expect the messaging and phone app is next in the line.
There have been many players who have graced the Indian Super League in the last few years, but some have really upped the ante and added a class to the competition and really left a mark in their legacy.
Here we take a look at the top 10 goalscorers in Indian Super League’s brief history –
10) Emiliano Alfaro – 15 goals
Playing for Northeast United and Pune City, Alfaro made quite the impact with both clubs during his time in the league. A striker who often combined well to utilize the supply from his teammates, the Uruguayan scored 15 goals in 38 ISL appearances.
9) Stiven Mendoza – 17 goals
What a livewire was an athletic centre forward Stiven Mendoza, who played a big role in helping Chennaiyin to the title in the 2015/16 season. With 17 goals in 35 games for the Supermachans, Mendoza had a superb understanding with Elano Blumer and score many a vital goal for Chennaiyin.
8) Kalu Uche – 18 goals
Playing majorly for Delhi Dynamos and featuring for Pune and ATK, Nigerian footballer Kalu Uche had a phenomenal 2017/18 season which saw him score 13 goals in 15 games. With the proper target man physique and attributes, Uche had a killer instinct for goal and had managed to form a good partnership with Robin Singh at the time.
7) Manuel Lanzarote – 18 goals
Much like his compatriots on this list, Lanzarote was quite adept at finding the back of the net and showcasing his versatility between left-wing and striker positions. He was key in Goa’s run to the final with 13 goals in 19 games and remains one of the valued forwards to have featured in the league.
6) Miku – 20 goals
How Bengaluru FC have missed his goals since his departure in 2018, such was the impact and value that Miku brought to the table. Proving to be a fantastic asset to the team, the Venezuelan striker scored 20 goals in 32 ISL appearances and helped them lift the ISL and the Hero Super Cup that season in 2017/18.
5) Jeje Lalpekhlua – 24 goals
A long-standing player in the Indian football circuit, Jeje has featured the most number of times for Chennaiyin in the ISL and managed to make an impact almost every instance he has played in. With 24 goals, Jeje is also a two-time ISL winner and is one of the most reputable Indian marksmen one can find out there.
4) Marcelinho – 24 goals
Few players are capable of being a one-man army and leading the time to success on their own with an aura around them, and Marcelo Pereira aka Marcelinho is definitely one of them. Still actively playing with Hyderabad FC in what will be his fourth ISL season, Marcelinho will hope to add onto his tally of 24 goals.
3) Iain Hume – 29 goals
Few would underestimate Canadian striker Iain Hume’s presence on the football pitch but on his day, he was capable of ripping up the opposition defences to shreds. Hume is an ISL all-star with his 29 goals in 53 games and also won the league with ATK once.
2) Sunil Chhetri – 39 goals
Even at the age of 36, Indian captain Sunil Chhetri is raring to go with Bengaluru FC in what will be his 5th ISL season. Having scored 39 in 74 appearances for both BFC and Mumbai City, Chhetri will want to taste ISL glory once again this season.
1) Ferran Corominas – 48 goals
The legend that is Ferran Corominas never ceased to amaze and create magic moments that left Goa and Indian football fans in general in awe of him. Taking home the accolade of Golden Boot twice, Corominas leads the list with 48 goals in 57 appearances for the Gaurs and is highly regarded as one of the best ever players to have taken part in the tournament.
The 2020 edition of the Hero ISL kicks off tonight with Kerala Blasters taking on the newly rebranded ATK Mohun Bagan.
In preparation for the new season, we take a look at the players to look out for from each of the teams competing in the league this season.
ATK Mohun Bagan: Sandesh Jhingan
The newly signed defender will be key to the Kolkata-based club’s title defense this season. While Roy Krishna will surely be up and running on the front lines, Jhingan’s experience is something that might just give the Green and Maroon the edge this season.
FC Goa: Igor Angulo
The loss of an elite player of the standards of Coro will surely be hard to compensate for. However, that is where another Spaniard has his time to shine. New arrival Igor Angulo will be hoping to apply his trade to the ISL as he hopes to step up for his new employees and bag the much-needed goals for the host team.
Mumbai City FC: Bartholomew Ogbeche
Ogbeche has been an absolute beast up-front and has the ability to change the fate of a match all on his own. Given such talent and prowess, the Nigerian is without a doubt Mumbai’s key player as they look to achieve a playoff berth this season.
Kerala Blasters: Sahal Abdul Samad
23-year-old academy product Sahal Abdul Samad was only recently promoted to the Indian national team. While there is still room for improvement for the youngster, there is no doubt that in the wake of losing Ogbeche, his contribution will be very important to the club this season.
Bengaluru FC: Sunil Chhetri
If Zlatan can do it at 39, you can bet Sunil Chhetri is going to be the best player for Bengaluru this season as they look to challenge ATKMB for the title once more. Having the likes of Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and Udanta Singh will also help BFC make a strong start to the season.
NorthEast United: Idrissa Sylla
Having played for the likes of Anderlecht and Queen’s Park Rangers beforehand, new signee Idrissa Sylla will be key to the Highlander’s season due to his past experience, along with the fact that he knows how to find the back of the net and is a forward in his prime.
Chennaiyin FC: Rafael Crivellaro
The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the Brazilian attacking midfielder. Having lost Jeje Lalpekhlua to East Bengal, the Supermachans will have to rely on Crivellaro to create, as well as to find the back of the net for a successful campaign.
Jamshedpur FC: Jackichand Singh
While star goalscorer Nerijus Valskis will no doubtedly be a sight to see for the steel city club, newly recruited winger Jackichand Singh will be hoping to achieve a true breakout for his new employees as they look to take Jamshedpur up the table.
Odisha FC: Marcelinho
The former Pune City FC winger will be one to watch for the Kalinga Warriors in their sophomore season in the ISL. The captain not only has the ability to score, but also to create chances to get the crucial goals to win games.
Hyderabad FC: Fran Sandaza
Having competed in La Liga 2 and the Scottish Premiership before joining Hyderabad FC in only their second year as a club in the ISL, the Spaniard will be key for Hyderabad’s ambitions of finishing mid table at the very least.
SC East Bengal: Jeje Lalpekhlua
While the entire team is under the spotlight in their highly anticipated debut season in the ISL, Jeje Lalpekhlua will be a sight to watch this season as the striker dons the Gold and Red colours to replace those of once former club Mohun Bagan.
Manchester United has recently faced a lot of problems in their transfer policies because of its owners. United fans were also against its owners and want them to leave the club as soon as possible.
Former Premier League star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has slammed Manchester United for their transfer failure. In the last transfer season, they failed to sign their prime targets.
Hasselbaink has pointed out some mistakes of Manchester United. Former Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku was highly criticized in his time at Manchester United. He said, “Man United have made big, big mistakes. Look at their striker situation. They let Romelu Lukaku go – he’s playing brilliantly for Inter Milan and Belgium at the moment – why isn’t he doing that for United?”
“OK, you don’t fancy him. But the rule – and every manager knows this – is that you cannot let a striker go if you don’t have another striker replacing him. If you don’t have another striker on your books – even if you don’t fancy the striker you have but you know he’s going to get you 15 goals a year – you keep the one you do have until you can bring a replacement in.”
“United have dealt with that situation so badly. They haven’t been able to replace him, but they’ve let him go. How can you do that? I don’t know if Solskjaer has made that call, or whoever, but when you make it, you need to have a replacement ready. Marcus Rashford is not an out-and-out striker. Anthony Martial is not a striker; he’s a wide player. He wants to play as a striker but he’s not going to get you 20-25 goals a season.”
“Then they go and get someone from China to come and sit on the bench. That is embarrassing for Manchester United. Nothing against Odion Ighalo, but Man United shouldn’t have to bring players out of China. Then they have to get an old player – who is still fit – in Edinson Cavani who has to come in and do the business. You never used to see that kind of thing happen at United.”
A team like Manchester United who is in their struggling period cannot afford some random tryouts now. They need some better players in some specific position to fight for the title again. Hopefully, they will sign some of their prime targets in upcoming transfer windows.
Leo Messi was on the verge of leaving Barcelona this summer after things got extremely chaotic at the club. However, with his contract expiring in the summer and the club nowhere close to reaching an agreement, it appears that the Argentinian is definitely on his way out.
While Messi has never been much of an aggressive person, his recent comments justify the fact that he is not happy at Camp Nou.

His comments were in response to an allegation that Antoine Griezmann’s uncle made at the superstar.
“Griezmann was convinced that he wasn’t going to be successful within the first six months, but what I didn’t expect was that [his struggles] would last an entire year,” he said.
“Besides, with Messi, I know what’s going on inside – it’s not easy.
“Basically, [Messi] doesn’t work hard enough at Barca and the training sessions are structured in order to please certain people, which is fine if you don’t want to work.
“Antoine needs to work, even though others don’t need as much effort to play well.

Messi already had a rift with the former Atletico Madrid striker, barely playing the ball to him last season. While things have improved on the pitch, the tension still persists between the two players.
This recent allegation made by Griezmann’s uncle will not make things any better between the two. Messi talked to reporters recently regarding the issue:
“I’m tired of always being the problem for everything at the club”
The Barcelona captain has become visibly frustrated, and it looks ever so likely that he will be heading for the exit door in the summer.
Messi’s Barcelona currently sit eighth in the La Liga table. They will have to be in top form if they are to put on a good display against Griezmann’s former team, Atletico Madrid next.
