OnePlus 9 Series will come with two models, Launch Rumoured for March 2021

0

As per a recent report, we’ve just come to know that the OnePlus 9 series will not include the third model. That means, there will be only two models in the upcoming OnePlus 9 series. A previous leak has suggested that the OnePlus 9 will bring a whole bunch of three smartphones. But the record of OnePlus tells that it launches two flagship segments in one series. Just like at the time of the OnePlus 7, the company launched OnePlus 7T and the 7T Pro. Both of them have come as a mid-year refresher to the OnePlus 7 series.

So, the same thing falls on the OnePlus 9 series as well. It is expected that OnePlus will launch one regular variant OnePlus 9 and one Pro variant OnePlus 9 Pro. Both of them are likely to make the debut in the middle of March 2021. The third model that was expected before is said to be the OnePlus 9 Ultra or OnePlus 9T. In terms of model numbers, tipsters have claimed that the OnePlus 9 will be available with model numbers: LE2110, LE2117, and LE2119 whereas the OnePlus 9 Pro will be available with model numbers: LE2120 and LE2127.

After all those things, let’s just talk about some of the expected specifications of the upcoming OnePlus 9 series. This series is expected to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 SoC chipset. Regarding the display, it is assumed to feature 144Hz of refresh rate. The charging should also have some improvement in this series, like in terms of wired and wireless charging.

iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are expected to feature low-power LTPO OLED screens

0

iPhone 12 series has been launched and after checking each and every model of that series, we can say that in some cases, Apple has exceeded our expectations whereas in some cases, things could go better. For example, let’s talk about the display of the iPhone 12 series models. Before the launch of this series, every iPhone lover has expected that Apple will bring its first-ever 120Hz display in any high-end variant of this series. But, that thing did not happen and Apple liked to stick with its regular 60Hz display for another year. The reason could be something to preserve the battery life of the models as we know that Apple does not provide powerful batteries in its iPhones comparing to recent days’ Android smartphones.

Recently we have got news regarding the upcoming series of Apple that is the iPhone 13 series. That report claims that Apple is looking to use low-power LTPO OLED screens in its upcoming iPhone 13 series. In fact, this news has also come out that LG itself is currently in preparation to mass-produce LTPO OLED panels exclusively for Apple. The main advantage of this LTPO OLED panel is that it is more energy-efficient compared with conventional OLED screens. LTPO stands for Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide. Apple uses this technology on its smartwatches. But it is not for the first time any phone will possess this LTPO OLED panel, the previously launched Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra also features an LTPO display.

iPhone 120Hz martin sanchez20 iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are expected to feature low-power LTPO OLED screens

Now the question is in which iPhone 13 models we can see this LTPO OLED panel. As per the report, the upcoming iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Max are the probable candidates to behold this LTPO OLED panel. Apart from the energy-efficiency, these LTPO displays will bring more advantages which may not be possible in just high refresh rate facilities. Always-on-Display (AoD) functionality is one of those advantages. Moreover, we may see improved battery life as it is energy-efficient. But to get clarified in these things, we have to wait a long time as it is expected that Apple will launch its iPhone 13 series in the month of September of 2021.

India Mobile Congress to be held between December 8-10

0

The current pandemic has brought forth many changes in the world. The significant change which was brought forth by the epidemic was our dependency on technology. With this comes various challenges as technology is both beneficial as well as comes with its own risk.

Considering the recent developments, the government of India made a new announcement. The government-supported telecom sector event India Mobile Congress (IMC) will be held through virtual mode between December 8-10.

Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash said, “We have to rise to the occasion. I am told that this (is the) largest technology event in South Asia. We should build upon it. DoT is funding at least 30 SMEs (small and medium enterprises) and start-ups to participate in this event”.

Sources claim a considerable debate about whether the event must be postponed or skipped to be conducted in 2021. But considering the profound changes brought forth by the pandemic in the technology market, the congress was mandatory.

Minister of State for Communication Sanjay Dhotre said, “Telecom sector has emerged as the backbone of digital infrastructure. COVID-19 has brought many challenges, but the telecom sector has proved its mettle. We believe IMC 2020 will showcase technology-driven initiatives”.

In a video message, he also said that the number of base stations has grown by 220 percent in the last six years, and mobile telephony has reached all corners of the country.

ISL 2020-21 CLUB PREVIEW: Will East Bengal dazzle fans in their debut season?

It felt like the ISL had run out of a little bit of steam in terms of the competitiveness levels and facing the same opponents time and again. Enter SC East Bengal, one of the biggest clubs in the land otherwise.

East Bengal FC (women) - Wikipedia

But as a new challenge awaits them, will they step up to it? We take a brief look at how they stack up ahead of the season –

TRANSFERS

East Bengal reinforced their squad depth with the signings of CK Vineeth, Balwant Rai and Jeje Lalpekhlua among Indian players and Anthony Pilkington, Danny Fox and Jacques Maghoma among the foreign recruits.

The “Red and Gold Brigade” however let go of Mehtab Singh, Mithun Samanta and Pintu Mahata to various I-League clubs. Overall, they have held onto their core from their last season in the I-League and only strengthened with newer additions.

SQUAD LIST

GOALKEEPERS

  • Sankar Roy
  • Rafique Ali
  • Mirshad Michu
  • Debjit Majumder

DEFENDERS

  • Abhishek Ambekar
  • Anil Chawan
  • Daniel Fox
  • Gurtej Singh
  • Narayan Das
  • Mohamed Irshad
  • Lalramchullova
  • Rana Gharami
  • Pritam Singh
  • Samad Mallick
  • Scott Neville
  • Novin Gurung
  • N Rohen Singh

MIDFIELDERS

  • Aaron-Amadi Holloway
  • Anthony Pilkington
  • Bikash Jairu
  • Eugeneson Lyngdoh
  • Haobam Singh
  • Jacques
  • Loken Meitei
  • Milan Singh
  • Mohammed Rafique
  • Sehnaj Singh
  • Surchandra Singh
  • Matti Steinmann
  • Yumnam Singh
  • Wahengbam Luwang

FORWARDS

  • Balwant Singh
  • CK Vineeth
  • Jeje Lalpekhlua
  • Harmanpreet Singh
  • Girik Khosla

STRENGTH

Much like a few ISL rival clubs, East Bengal have not had issues finding the back of the net. In the 2019/20 I-League season, they were joint-third highest goal scorers with a total of 23 goals in 16 games. They also have experienced closing out games during dying moments, even if it means being defensively packed and securing narrow victories.

WEAKNESS

As has been the case with a few football teams around the world, a heavy influx of transfers into the club as well as having a new coach at the helm could prove to be a case of not having enough understanding on the pitch. There is also the challenge of uncertainty of adapting to a new league and fighting opponents with better quality overall.

KEY PLAYER

Anthony Pilkington - Player profile 20/21 | Transfermarkt

Is there any need to look beyond Irish international and former Wigan winger, Anthony Pilkington? The fact that such quality players have entered Indian football is a big deal, and he will be keen to test himself to the ruggedness of the same. Pilkington had previously scored 14 goals and 5 assists in 75 Premier League appearances.

PREDICTED TABLE FINISH

5th Place – For their maiden appearance in the ISL, East Bengal might just about miss out on the playoffs for the sole fact that they have no experience in this league and have too many players who may not be able to develop an understanding that quickly.

Virender Sehwag declared him as the best captain of the T-20 format. “Ab to aadat si hai sabko aise dhone ki [Mumbai Indians are used to thrash every opponent like this]. The best T20 franchise in the world and the best captain in the format. Deserving winners, Mumbai Indians, koi shak[No arguments]. Amazingly well-organized tournament despite various challenges.”- Sehwag tweeted.

Two times IPL champion skipper with Kolkata Knight Riders, Gautam Gambhir said, “If Rohit Sharma doesn’t become India’s captain, it’s their loss, not Rohit’s. Yes, a captain is only as good as his team and I completely agree with that, but what are the parameters to judge a captain on who is good and who isn’t? The parameters and benchmark should be the same. Rohit has led his team to five IPL titles.”

Former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted, “Without question, Rohit Sharma should be the Indian T20 captain, fantastic man-manager and leader and he knows exactly how to win T20. games, it would also give Virat a chance to take a breather and just be the player, it works for all other teams around the world.”

Virat Kohli is the captain of India in all formats. Though he yet to win an IPL trophy with his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore but his record as Indian Captain is decent enough. It will be harsh to take away the captaincy from him on the basis of his performance in IPL.

Goa Congress seeks to scupper ISL 2020-21 preparations due to local vendors not being provided contracts

After a long-awaited period, the Indian Super League is now scheduled to begin on 20th November in the state of Goa. Considering the health protocols in place and the infrastructure needed to set up a fully functioning football league, ISL has taken some great steps to ensure the same.

However, now a fresh problem has arisen in the form of local Goan vendors not being supplied with logistical contracts and as a result of this, the Goa Pradesh Congress Committee have threatened to stop proceedings even before the league has begun.

The party believe that not all requisite components need to be outsourced to other states. And that while their state is undertaking majority responsibilities of conducting the league, the local businesses of Goa should also prosper at the same time, especially considering the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

ISL 2020-21 : Great news for Indian Super League, ministry clears foreign  players participation in ISL

GPCC vice-president Sankalp Amonkar is quoted as saying, “We don’t have any issues with the organisers of the ISL. We just want the Goan people to gain some benefit from the tournament. People have suffered because of the pandemic and now when games are being held here, the locals must benefit.”

This development comes a few days after Goa chief minister Dr Pramod Sawant was forced to play political mediator between transport operators and league organizers after there was a threat of legal action by the former against ISL considering they were using other vehicles for intra-state travelling.

Indian Super League: 2020-'21 season to be held at three venues in Goa  behind closed doors

The seventh edition of the Indian Super League will be played out across three venues in Goa – the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Fatorda, the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco and the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim.
