OnePlus 8T is in talks all over the tech world for the past few weeks. The phone will be the first T version of the recent OnePlus 8 series of the year. The production has been delayed due to this pandemic situation and the most important news about this phone is that we all know by now OnePlus is not going to provide the Plus version of the latest Snapdragon’s flagship chipset this year in this device.
As per some recent reports we saw that OnePlus 8T will have some peculiar dimensions which turns out that it will be larger in size than any other OnePlus 8 series device in the market.
To give you a comparison with the OnePlus 8, the OnePlus 8T will measure 162.8 x 75.5 x 8.4 mm whereas, the OnePlus 8 measures 160.20×72.90x8mm. As per the tipster, the upcoming smartphone is 9.3mm thick with a camera bump.
OnePlus CEO Pete Lau also claimed that the OnePlus 8T will run smoothly for at least 3 years and adds that this is a problem with many so-called flagship phones. So, he states that this flagship 8T will provide a smooth user experience for at least 3 years.
Regarding the display features, this upcoming flagship handset from OnePlus will have 120Hz of refresh rate whereas the predecessor model has 90Hz of refresh rate. Pete confirmed, “the OnePlus 8T comes with a 6.55-inch, 120Hz fluid display, which is the same size as [the] OnePlus 8” and this is added to provide users “a buttery smooth display experience”.
The phone packs with a quad rear camera setup, which includes- 48MP main sensor alongside a 16MP Ultra-wide lens, 5MP Macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, the phone features a hole-punch cutout at the upper left corner on the screen to hole a 32MP front camera for selfie and video call purpose.
The company has also confirmed that it will run on Android 11 out-of-the-box with OxygenOS 11. The phone comes with a decent battery backup of 4,500mAh, which will be supported by 65W of super-fast charging technology.
FC Barcelona have finally confirmed the long-awaited signing of Sergino Dest from Ajax, for a reported upfront fee of €21 million with €5 million in additional variables.
The US international at just 19 years of age, had the pick of his choices with both Bayern Munich and Barcelona both interested in the player. But after interactions with the management of the two clubs, Dest found conviction in joining Barcelona who are now starting a new regime under former player Ronald Koeman.
Dest has signed a five-year contract until 2025, with a buyout clause set at €400 million.
A highly athletic right-back, Dest is equally adept in attack as he is in defence. He is also an excellent passer of the ball often dropping into midfield to recycle possession if required.
It is a known fact that Ajax and Barcelona share closely rooted football styles, which hinges on attacking philosophy revolving around possession. The young defender does not hesitate to bomb down the right flank and ping in crosses of all types which in part led him to get 5 assists in the Eredivisie last season.
Sergino Dest has also taken the No. 2 shirt at Barcelona, after Nelsen Semedo’s departure from the club. It indicates a statement of intent from the defender to be involved with the first team from the very start.
His direct competition comes in the form of Sergi Roberto, although he would be considered a player making his presence felt more often in the midfield. It will certainly be interesting to see what kind of a partnership he forms with Lionel Messi on the right flank, considering how the full-back and winger often share a fruitful relationship in football.
Many Barca fans have said that they are still looking for the perfect replacement of Dani Alves who left the club in 2015. And one can only hope that Dest is that man destined to own up and make that right-back position his own.

Google announced its two new pixel phones and the new ‘Chromecast with Google TV’. the new devices were much anticipated and we have seen many leaks regarding the same. However, now the curtain has finally been raised on the new devices.
Let’s talk about the new ‘Chromecast with Google TV’.
The streaming dongle is similar to the previous Chromecast devices, but it now has its own interface and remote! That’s right Google has finally done something innovative with its Chromecast devices.
The design is very similar to the previous Chromecast but the new member is a bit more elongated. Its HDMI cable can be plugged directly to TV or AV receivers and is powered by a USB adapter using the new USB-C connector.
Google’s new Chromecast is now capable of outputting 4K at 60Hz. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and also HDR10. The audio has been upgraded to support Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos.
It comes with a dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and but the Bluetooth version remains unspecified.
But, did you know that the device is actually powered by Android TV?
You heard it, Googles new ‘Chromecast with Google TV’ is a Chromecast only in name. Apps like Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, and many others can directly be downloaded onto the Chromecast itself. The apps can be browsed using the new remote, and the contents can be played without having to cast it from another device. It’s all very intuitive and easy to use, while closely resembling the functionality of a Roku or Amazon TV.
Android certainly is not something new in the market. Almost all the smart TVs in the market and set-boxes from Nvidia’s names already provide a traditional Android TV in their devices. Google sporting the same OS, and offering the same functionality would be a disaster for the new Chromecast.
But Google is not just some ordinary tech company.
While Android TV is certainly the foundation of the new Chromecast, Google has created a new “Google TV” layer atop its operating system. This provides a whole new experience and completely replaces the old home screen feel.
Google TV brings content from all streaming services that are subscribed and lists them all side by side in rows of recommendations.
All apps that can be downloaded on Android TV can be downloaded onto the new Chromecast. The option to sideload apps is also possible, and developer options offer more freedom to the users who want to test the limitations of the new Chromecast.

Oh, and the device can also be used to cast movies, shows, and audio from others to Chromecast.
So the new Chromecast is a Chromecast but runs on Android TV. It can cast contents like a Chromecast but can also be used as a smart TV device offering streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Google has surely confused us this time.
The device offering all-new “Google TV” is placed at $50 and can be pre-ordered in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Italy, Spain, and the U.K.
The device will be available for purchase on October 15.
Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia has been strongly linked with a move back to Barcelona all summer. According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs are currently in talks over the Spaniard.
Barcelona and Manchester City are in direct talks also today for Eric Garcia. Eric has turned down two different bids on last weeks – he only wants to come back to Barcelona, on next days if #MCFC and #FCB will reach an agreement or on June 2021 as a free agent. 🔵🔴 #transfers
While Garcia has been quite open about his desire to return to Catalonia, an agreement between the clubs regarding the defender’s valuation must be reached before realistic talks about his move to Spain can take place.
With the departure of club legend, Vincent Kompany, Eric Garcia has seen a fair amount of game time following the lockdown. However, following the signing of Ruben Dias from Benfica, it is unlikely that the Spaniard will be the first choice ahead of the Portuguese Centre back.
Hence imitating Gerard Pique by asking for a move back to Barcelona might be the smartest thing for Garcia. Especially considering that Barcelona are undergoing a rebuilding phase under Ronald Koeman.
The youth are at a significant advantage whenever there needs to be a change of scene at a club. To Garcia’s advantage, he has time on his side and can be the heir to Pique at his former club.
The La Masia graduate moved to Manchester City in 2017 and has shown glimpses of his talent under one of the best Barcelona managers ever, in Pep Guardiola.
Guardiola is Barcelona through and through, and should the clubs agree on a transfer fee for the 19-year-old, it is likely that the tactician will not stop the young man from fulfilling his dreams.
However, in the event that the clubs don’t reach an agreement, we might still see Garcia at Barcelona. But the only difference will be in the time of the transfer.
The Spaniard only has a year left on his contract at Manchester and has been reluctant to sign a new one.
Should City not cash in on Garcia now, they could lose him for nothing next summer.
Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-2, to lift yet another DFL-Supercup. Both sides were missing a few key players who could have proved to make a difference. While Bayern did not have Leroy Sane in their ranks, Dortmund had Jadon Sancho and Thorgan Hazard as notable absences from their squad. After yesterday’s win, Bayern have now won 62 of 126 games in all competitions against Dortmund. This was also their 8th German Super Cup title.
Although both sides began positively, Bayern drew first blood. In the 17th minute, Corentin Tolisso shot from distance before it rebounded off the bar. And the incoming French midfielder only had to poke it in to give Bayern the lead. Things only became worse for Dortmund when in the 31st minute, Muller met a floated cross from left-back Alphonso Davies to score a near-post header. It was 2-0 in a flash. But Dortmund clawed one back before half time, as Halaand combined with winger Julian Brandt who struck a fierce shot from close ranger past Neuer. Although Bayern were leading, the momentum had slightly shifted towards Dortmund.
And those efforts bore fruit when Haaland scored the equaliser after a Delaney through ball to make it 2-2 in the 54th minute. It could so easily have been 3-2 for Dortmund, but Haaland missed a golden opportunity to score. Instead, he shot straight at captain Neuer, which the keeper brilliantly saved. Ultimately, Dortmund caused their own downfall when Bayern surged ahead with a counter after stealing the ball from Thomas Delaney. Lewandowski crossed across to Kimmich who took a shot at goal. But unfortunately, after the initial save from Hitz, it deflected off him which Kimmich chipped over him to score the winner for Bayern. It was overall a superb Der Klassiker fixture, which in the end once again belonged to Bayern Munich.
FC Goa confirmed the signing of the highly-rated Goan forward Devendra Murgaonkar in a 3-year deal at an undisclosed price. The 21-year-old young forward joins the ISL side from Salgaocar after the clubs agreed on.
Devendra has displayed an excellent performance in the Goa Pro League over the last couple of seasons. Now he got a chance to prove his worth in the top league of India and to come under the radar of the national selectors.
A local talent who has made his name in the Goa Professional League with his goal-scoring prowess! 🤩
“This is something like a dream come true for me. I have been an FC Goa fan since the Club’s inception and now I get to wear the colors and get onto the field, taking on the best in India. So, you can say I am living my dream right now. I feel blessed to have this opportunity and I want to take advantage of this with both hands.”, Devendra said after joining FC Goa.
Devendra first came into the scene in the 2017/18 season. In the 2018/19 season, he was the top scorer with 20 goals in Goa Pro League [GPL]. He also scored 9 goals last season.
Ravi Puskur, FC Goa’s Director of Football said, “Devendra is a player who has consistently performed at the Goa Pro League and has racked up goals, season after season. He’s a clever player who drops to assist in the build-up and also finds himself smart pockets of space. We are confident that he will suit our style of football. We hope that his development will be accelerated by training, being surrounded by players from the first team, and by gaining minutes at the ISL level.”
ISL is going to start on 20th November in Goa. The home team will surely want to display a great performance this season and Devendra will surely want to impress everyone.
AS Roma is preparing a new bid to sign Manchester United defender Chris Smalling. The deal is expected to be more than €15 million which is close to Manchester United’s demand for the defender of €20 million.
English defender Chris Smalling has spent a year on loan at AS Roma last season. His performance in Serie A was excellent last year. AS Roma is very much interested to retain him completely.
New bid from AS Roma for Chris Smalling is coming, confirmed. The offer will be more than €15m and close to €20m Man Utd price tag – that’s why Roma are “confident” to complete the deal.
Chris Smalling joined Manchester United in 2010. He has won 2 Premier Leagues, 1 FA Cup and 1 Europa League with Manchester United. The defender has scored 18 goals in his 323 United appearances. He also represented his country 31 times in his career.
The 30-year-old lost his form in his last few seasons with Manchester United and was extremely criticized by the fans and the pundits. He also lost the faith of his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. United signed Harry Maguire from Leicester City last season and sent Smalling to AS Roma on a loan spell.
After an excellent season, it was expected that Manchester United will retain him again. But Manchester United has some other plans.
Smalling’s contract with Manchester United is going to end in 2022. Manchester United wants to offload the defender before that.
Manchester United also want to offload some other players as well either in a loan deal or in a permanent one. So, they are able to sign some of their summer’s prime targets within the transfer window ends. Andreas Pereira is already linked with Lazio. Diogo Dalot is also linked with some of the clubs in Europe in a loan deal. AS Roma is also interested to sign the Portuguese right-back in a loan deal. They can also ask for the service of him along with Smalling in the deal.
Building on the signing of star defender Sandesh Jhingan, ATK Mohun Bagan have officially unveiled Glan Martins as one of their own.
Martins operates primarily as an attacking midfielder and came through the ranks at Sporting Club de Goa. He then joined Churchill Brothers in the I-league and after a season-long spell, has now joined the top flight of football in the country.
Adding some Goan 🏝 flavour to our midfield this season. 🤩
The 26-year-old has signed a 2 year-long deal with the club and will be playing in maroon and green till 2022.
Martins enjoyed a brilliant season with Churchill in the 19/20 campaign and his brilliant vision was one of the key factors that made him a target for the reigning ISL Champions as they look all set to defend their title.
During his spell at Churchill, he made 14 appearances. Although he didn’t manage to get a goal or assist to his name, his overall impact on the game make him a hidden gem of sorts.
It could only be a matter of time before the new Mariner is tearing up the ranks in the ISL for Mohun Bagan. In addition to his outstanding passing skills, the attacking midfielder is also known to be very skilled on the ball as well.
Mohun Bagan have concluded some brilliant signings during the summer transfer window. With the likes of Manvir Singh, Subasish Bose and Sandesh Jhingan already announced as Mariners, Antonio Habas will certainly have no shortage of quality as he looks to defend the title.
With the stacked options in midfield, one can only assume that healthy competition will improve all the players at the club in an attempt to secure a position in the starting lineup.
The 20/21 season of the ISL is scheduled to begin in November, and will most probably take place behind closed doors.
