After seven months of introducing the Huawei nova 7 SE, the company has announced the Nova 8 SE will launch on September 5. However, last month Huawei has launched the Nova 7 SE 5G Youth. The nova 8 SE will be unveiled at 2 PM local time in China. Right now, we’ve got some posters about this upcoming phone, which show us some of its key specifications. Let’s check out what are those.
As per the teaser, the Huawei nova 8 SE will come into the market in two different processor variants. One of them will be powered by the Dimensity 720 chipset, whereas the other one will get powered by the Dimensity 800U chipset.
Regarding the camera section, the nova 8 SE is confirmed to sport a quad rear camera setup (flat frames like the iPhone 12), which includes a 64 MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and two 2MP sensors (probably macro & depth). The LED flash is spotted at the center of the camera module. The selfie camera is placed at the front under the waterdrop notch design.
Regarding the display, this phone will feature a 6.53-inch OLED FHD+ display with a refresh rate of 60Hz. This phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner. Coming to the ports and buttons, the volume rocker and the power key are on the right side. In terms of battery, the Huawei nova 8 SE will be fueled by a 3,800 mAh battery with the support of a massive 66W fast charging.
Samsung has been desperately trying to establish its presence in the semiconductor market. After its embarrassing loss with Exynos 990 and yet again suffering the humiliating defeat against Apple’s A14 Bionic, it seems Samsung is ready to make a thrilling come back.
The South Korean giant earlier released few necessary details regarding its upcoming Exynos 1080 SoC. Now, however, the company has revealed that the processors will be officially announced on November 12. The mobile SoC is based on a 5nm process that is sure to boost the processor’s performance.
According to sources, the chip will come with new ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores and the ARM Mali-G78 GPU. Both of which are cutting edge technologies and offer unbreakable performance. The new chip is also claimed to exceed 650,000 points in AnTuTu. These results, however, are from a programmable chip and not the performance of the actual processor. So it is safe to assume that the version of the SoC will increase after its official release. The top smartphones that sport the Snapdragon 865 score around the 600,000 marks on AnTuTu. It means that Samsung’s new processor looks very promising.
Samsung is also reportedly working on two different mobile processors, one among which will reportedly use AMD graphics. According to sources, the processors being developed are the Exynos 1080 and the Exynos 2100. The Exynos 2100 SoC will reportedly power Samsung’s upcoming flagship Galaxy S21 smartphone. The Exynos 2100 will reportedly sport ARM’s Cortex-X1 Super CPU core, which is expected to boost the processor’s performance by a ton.
Not many details are known about the Exynos 1080 as of yet, but it is reported that Vivo brand phones will be the first to receive the upcoming processor. According to sources, the smartphone model is not confirmed yet, but the Vivo X60 will be the first device to receive Samsung’s game-changing processor.
Consumers are attracted to web series more than movies these days. For those who are still fans of some movies or want to watch live TV shows remotely, OTT platforms are the best option for them. Though platforms like Netflix and Prime Video doesn’t offer live TV, Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5, and some other platform do. So, it’s obvious so many of us look for the free subscription of these platforms.
To fulfill the demands and also to promote its quality services Bharati Airtel started offering free subscription of Disney+ Hotstar for a year with its Platinum Postpaid plan and also with broadband plans. To get this benefit, users have to go for the Rs.499 postpaid plan at least and for the broadband users need to avail of Rs.999 plan or above. Lastly, eligible users have to claim the benefit from the ‘Thanks’ page of their application.
If you don’t have an Airtel Postpaid connection or broadband but own a prepaid Airtel SIM, you can also get a free Disney+ Hotstar subscription. All you need to do is recharge any of the mentioned plans (prepaid) – RS.401, Rs.448, Rs.599, and Rs.2698.
Bharati is not the only one to offer free Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription; Jio is also present in this race. In fact, in the My Jio app, a separate section is there named ‘Jio Cricket’ where each plan bundles 1 year Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription, starting Rs.255 only.
Match 56 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will feature the last match of the league state as table-toppers Mumbai Indians will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Mumbai Indians have not only qualified for the playoffs but already sealed the first position of the points table. This means MI will get an extra match to qualify for the finals.
Sunrisers obviously do not have that luxury. Winning this match would skyrocket them at the number 3 spot. However, losing the match would eliminate them and make way for the Kolkata Knight Riders. IPL 2020 is probably the best season of its 12-year history so far as it still isn’t confirmed which team is going to make it.
MI is coming off a dominating win over the Delhi Capitals. SRH, on the other hand, is coming off a relatively easy win over RCB.
Mumbai Indians
The defending champions have looked flawless in their dominating reign this year. As said earlier, having already locked the first spot, MI is expected to test their bench strength. However, they won’t like to go overboard as winning a match would still help them with the momentum.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH would be extremely proud of their win over the Delhi Capitals. Skipper Warner scored a brilliant fifty and Wriddhiman Saha justified his selection over Johnny Bairstow by scoring two back to back fifties.
Their lower middle-order namely Samad and Priyam Garg should take responsibility as well. Their lack of form puts unnecessary pressure on David Warner, Manish Pandey, and Vijay Shankar.
Their bowling, however, has been great. Jason Holder has been a breath of fresh air for them. Rashid Khan has been picking up timely wickets. Sandeep Sharma and Natarajan have been doing their respective roles. Also, Vijay Shankar is providing a full quota of 4 overs.

Fantasy XI team
JASPRIT BUMRAH (9.5) (C) / DHAWAL KULKARNI (8) – Bumrah has been superb as the tournament progresses. He’s among the top wicket-takers of the tournament. He’ll be our captain. If Bumrah gets rested, we’ll have Kishan as captain and David Warner as vice-captain.
ISHAN KISHAN (8.5) – Kishan scored an impressive fifties against CSK and DC. He has the responsibility to open in the absence of Rohit Sharma. He’ll be our vice-captain.
DAVID WARNER (10.5) – David Warner has been in phenomenal form and has been consistent as well.
SURYAKUMAR YADAV (9) – Yadav scored a phenomenal 79 against the RCB. He’ll do even better with added responsibility in the absence of Rohit Sharma. He’ll be our captain.
QUINTON DE KOCK (9.5)/ CHRIS LYNN (9) – De Kock has been getting good starts, he’s at a cusp of a bigger inning anytime soon. If De Kock gets rested, we’ll go ahead with Lynn.
WRIDDHIMAN SAHA (8) – Saha justified his selection over Johnny Bairstow by scoring a phenomenal 87 off just 45 balls against the dangerous DC bowling lineup. He also scored a great fifty against RCB.
MANISH PANDEY (9) – Pandey has been fairly consistent this season. However, he’ll have to take more responsibility.
JASON HOLDER (8.5) – Holder picked up wickets consistently and can bat a bit as well.
TRENT BOULT (9) / MITCHELL McCLENAGHAN (8) – Boult has been among the top wicket-takers of the tournament. Again if he’s rested, we go ahead with McClenaghan.
RASHID KHAN (9.5) – Rashid Khan has always been among wickets. He bowled one of the most impressive spells in the history of IPL taking 3 wickets and conceding only seven runs in his four overs.
SANDEEP SHARMA (8) – Sharma has been in good form and has been consistently among wickets.
PREDICTION
Already despite the absence of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians have been really consistent in their approach. They’re still batting and bowling phenomenally. Their bench strength is phenomenal as well with the likes of the dangerous Chris Lynn who has played T20 cricket all across the world. Mitchell McClenaghan has been one of the highest wicket-takers for them in the last few seasons. They also have the likes of veterans Dhawal Kulkarni and Aditya Tare. Not to forget young guns like Anukul Roy. Mumbai Indians will therefore defeat the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Finally, the Cupertino giant has given the date for the launch of their upcoming ARM-based notebooks and products this month. As we were expecting Apple to launch in the second week, Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed the new launch event called ‘One More Thing’ will be held on November 10 at 10:00 AM PST.
Obviously, this event means a lot for Apple and us who have waited to see ARM powered Macs and Apple devices. Well, ARM based chips are the future but it needs more refining and finetuning which Apple is really capable.
It will be interesting to see how Apple pushes its limits on its new products even though having the same architecture in the core. The upcoming A14X Bionic chip is powering these Macs, and it will be interesting to see how Apple’s new 5nm chip performs on new products.
As for now, we know the 12-inch MacBook Air will be powered by Apple Silicon and will have a starting price of $849 only. The new MacBook will provide an excellent battery life of up to 15 to 20 hours along with 0.9Kg weight and a single USB-C port as per the rumors.
Whereas, the MacBook Pro 13 will feature the Magic Keyboard and have thinner bezels as-in a large screen in a smaller form factor, making this the most portable MacBook Pro ever. It will also feature a 1080p webcam, while most other specs will remain the same as the current-gen MacBook Pro 13. As for now, the price of the new MacBook Pro 13 could start at $1099 for the ARM-based variant.
It is also rumored that even though Apple could actually announce new MacBooks with A14X chip, we could also see a possibility of Apple previewing us their new desktop-class A14T chip based on the 5nm process built for iMac that may launch next year.
Nvidia is the leading manufacturer of graphics modules. The cards manufactured by the company are the best in the market and have been seen for years. But things are changing, and the company’s biggest rival, AMD, has taken the lead. Advanced Micro Devices has launched several of its next-gen cards that seem to leave Nvidia’s latest innovation in the dust.
Owing to all this, Nvidia is still planning to release its RTX 30 series cards real soon. But according to sources, the company has allegedly postponed the launch of its upcoming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti till December 2nd. The graphics card was due to launch on November 17th.
On the other hand, this delay cannot be termed as postponement of any kind. It is merely because the company itself never officially declared the initial launch date of the RTX 3060 Ti.
According to sources, the RTX 3060 Ti will be a new upper mid-range graphics card under a 400 USD price tag. The graphics card is expected to feature the GA104 GPU along with 4864 CUDA cores, which is 1024 cores fewer than the RTX 3070. Apart from GPU modifications, the RTX 3060 Ti comes with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM at 14Gbps of speed. It is the same memory configuration which the GeForce RTX 3070 boasts.
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is said to be faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. We already know that the RTX 3060 Ti matches the RTX 2080 Ti in terms of performance and will even surpass the RTX 2080 SUPER. If this is all true, then Nvidia could soon be releasing a powerhouse among graphics processors.
Nvidia will be launching its GeForce RTX 3060 Ti on December 2nd and is expected to be available in the retail stores. The company has also decided to release a Founders edition model of its RTX 3060 Ti as to whether it will move ahead with its plan remains to be seen.
Realme debut to the smartwatch market around six months ago, in May, with its Realme Watch. After getting a satisfactory response from its fans, the company now finally expands its lineup with the Realme Watch S. Though the launch is not a surprise, rumors were leaked about it earlier.

The new Realme Watch S has a circular dial, instead of the square one, hold by an aluminum alloy frame. There are two buttons too on the right. The display offered is of 3.3-inch IPS LCD with 360×360 resolution. For protection, Realme added Gorilla Glass 3 on top along with an IP68 rating. It didn’t even compromise in the case of viewing and style. That because the Realme Watch S has 600 nits pick brightness, 5-level auto-brightness control, and the most demanded, 100+ unique watch faces.
It’s obvious there will be various kinds of activity and health factor trackers. The list includes a heart rate tracker, sleep monitor, blood oxygen level trackers, 16 individual sports modes, and more.
In this smartwatch, the Realme team puts its own operating system in Google’s efficient WearOS. It’s the same as the earlier smartwatch model and comes with the same features and all. The only difference is, it is optimized for the round dial.
A 390mAh battery inside allows the smartwatch to run for up to 15 days and recharge fully; it takes around 2 hours. The company provides a magnetic charger for this purpose.
Coming to the pricing and availability details. Though this is a global launch, Realme showcased the Realme Watch S in Pakistan.

According to some of the tipsters from China, a piece of news has come out that Redmi is looking to launch three new smartphones in the Redmi Note 9 family. Everyone has expected that Redmi is working on its Note 10 series. But in this case, Redmi has probably pranked everyone and now the company is coming with its Redmi 9 trio. One of those three phones could be the Redmi 9s.
As of now, the company has not revealed any kind of details regarding the upcoming smartphones. The only thing which has leaked by the tipsters that in this series, one of the three smartphones will definitely sport a massive 108MP primary camera. The provider of the camera sensor is expected to be Samsung and the sensor might be the brand new ISOCELL HM2 which was released a little over a month ago.
There have been some other rumors as well that this camera module will also include a telephoto and a macro sensor. There is no other news regarding the rear or the front camera setup. We are also unknown about the chipset or display of those upcoming phones. But in between all those things, the Redmi Note 10 series could be delayed a little more. We can expect the Redmi Note 10 series of Redmi in the mid of 2021 or even more. Regarding the Redmi Note 9 series, we expect that at the end of this month, the company will surely reveal something new and interesting.
After the launch of the iPhone 12 series, every day we are getting to know some of its pros and cons. Now another report has come out that the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max are going to have a new feature called “People Detection”. By this feature, the device will allow visually challenged users to detect the proximity of other people. This new feature will be available in a new iOS 14.2 beta release.
To execute this feature, the device uses the LiDAR sensor and wide-angle camera to precisely detect the distance between the users and their nearby people. This is a kinda must-have feature for visually challenged people. This feature works with a combination of augmented reality (AR) and machine learning. That’s why at first the device will sense & detect the obstacle and then it will give a signal to the control system to measure the distance. If the distance is much less, then the user will get a signal from the device by which he/she can make his/her path carefully. Moreover, this feature will also be very useful in current scenarios where everyone has to maintain at least 6 feet of distance from each other for the COVID-19 crisis.
Apple has been working on this technology since September and finally in the update of iOS 14.2, the company will provide this facility to the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max users. Beta users will get the first opportunity to use this feature. This is a great leap in terms of technological advancement from Apple. Yes, it is true that to buy an iPhone 12 Pro or the iPhone 12 Pro Max, you have to spend a lot amount of money. But in terms of the byproduct of that process, you will get some serious great technological help from Apple, whether it is the chipset or such kind of proximity detection features. In terms of that, Apple has never failed to amaze us.
As of now, this amazing facility will only be available in the iPhone 12 Pro and the Pro Max variants. The company will not provide this service on the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Mini. So, you have to pay some price to get this facility.
