0

After the launch of Galaxy S20 and S20FE, it is rumored that the South Korean tech giant Samsung is looking to launch the successor Samsung Galaxy S21 in the upcoming days. Moreover, as per some reports, this Galaxy S21 has been spotted on China’s 3C certification site. Though this listing has not revealed anything about the specifications r the battery of this phone, but it offers a glimpse into Galaxy S21’s possible charging specifications – with up to 25W fast charging.

Right now we have another leak regarding the Galaxy S21 series. The design and the measurements of this phone have been revealed through those leaks. According to those leaked images, the upcoming S21 will get a design similar to its predecessor S20. Not only the design but also the rear camera module will be same as what we’ve seen on the Galaxy S20.

Regarding the cameras, there will be a triple rear camera setup. But the internal specifications of the camera setup is still a mystery. So, we can expect some improvement in it. As per the selfie snapper, the S21 will feature a centered hole-punch camera which is also similar to the Galaxy S20. Moreover, there will be no curved display. You will get a completely flat display on the Galaxy S21.

If we talk about the dimensions, the S21 will have measurements of 151.7mm x 71.2mm x 8mm whereas the Galaxy S20 dials in at 151.7mm x 69.1mm x 7.9mm. So both of them are almost the same, but the upcoming S21 will be slightly wider than its predecessor and 0.1mm thicker too.

TSMC’s 5nm process nodes to pick up pace in 2021

0

With evolution of tech, silicon process nodes have become smaller and smaller – increasing both performance and efficiency. The 7nm process nodes have made our devices lot more powerful than before and the new 5nm is the upcoming evolution in the silicon industry.

Already the Apple A14 Bionic has become the first commercially available SoC to be based out of 5nm process. With days, we will see more of these new 5nm processors and the primary supplier for these nodes remains TSMC.

TSMC has already experienced spikes in its revenue last month and it is expected that with Apple remaining its primary customer for the 5nm process, TSMC will make more revenue in the coming month. A recent report from DigiTimes confirms the fact that the demand for advanced 5nm process will spike in 2021.

Apple already in talks with TSMC to fabricate custom ARM chips for Macs

As the report mentions, the 5nm process revenue growth is expected to increase from only 8% in 2020 to more than 20% in 2021. As stated in our last article, the iPhone 12 sales will be increasing in the coming year, and so will TSMC earn from this.

2021 will be the year of the 5nm process as giants like AMD, Qualcomm, MediaTek Samsung, and others will be shifting to 5nm. TSMC is expected to lead the silicon manufacturing process in 2021 as well and 5nm being its key ingredient this time.

Koeman and Barcelona expect Messi to leave in the upcoming transfer window

0

This summer’s hottest rumoured transfer in Lionel Messi to Manchester City seems to have been a sign of things to come. Barcelona and Ronald Koeman are reportedly “resigned” to lose one of their greatest assets in either of the upcoming transfer windows. 

Though there have been multiple reports that state that City could make a £15 million bid for Messi in the January transfer window, Koeman’s statement on the issue seems to offer more clarity on the situation.

In the original quote, published by the Mirror, Ronald Koeman says the following about speculation regarding the Argentinian’s wish to leave in the summer.

“I was always hoping Messi would stay for this season. If he had left in the summer, I would have had a very different situation at Barca.”

“He wanted to leave but the club was very clear to him. The buy out clause was so high, that not a single club in the world was going to pay that in these times.”

“I went to his house and took time to listen to all the things he said. But I also explained to him that I had not been a part of the problems he had with the club and told him how I was going to work to change things.”

“We ended up talking about football tactics. It ended as a proper football chat and that convinced me he is a real lover of the game and he still wanted to put everything he has into Barcelona.”

Messi's father is already in talks with Manchester City

Messi has made over 700 appearances for Barcelona and has only ever played for the Blaugrana in his professional career.

After Koeman’s attitude and statement on the subject, it only seems to be a matter of time before their greatest ever player decides to move on. Whether that happens in the winter or next summer, is something that remains to be seen.

Virgil Van Dijk’s potential absence could prove to be a huge blow to Liverpool’s title hopes

0

An absolutely electric Merseyside derby saw Liverpool and Everton fight it out for domestic boasting rights. The match eventually finished 2-2 at full-time but was riddled with so many controversies from both ends.

One of the casualties in the game was that of Virgil Van Dijk. Attempting to score from a free kick in Everton’s penalty area, Virgil Dijk got control of the ball. But, the incoming Jordan Pickford in the Everton goal caught the Dutch centre back, causing him to fall. There was tremendous debate over whether that was a yellow or red card.

It raised questions over the use of VAR and whether sporting technology like that, is the reason for football matches’ degradation. Had Pickford been sent off, Liverpool might have capitalized on Everton being down to 10 men and possibly, even won the match.

Regardless, the biggest disappointment for Liverpool fans is that Van Dijk might now be out for the rest of the season, with a layoff allegedly set to be around 8-9 months.

For a team that is trying to retain the league title and spread their presence into the other domestic cups and the Champions League will now have their work cut out. The monumental presence of Van Dijk is something they would sorely miss now.

Just on the face of it, his absence takes out some strength and calmness from Liverpool’s defence. It is one thing to be strong, it is another to be authoritative. And Van Dijk is certainly nothing less than that.

Often seeking to win aerial duels and interceptions, the commanding Dutchman was a goal threat with his heading ability as well. There is possibly no defender present in the squad who can undertake as his replacement, with Joe Gomez and Joel Matip likely to pair up in central defence. And so, Van Dijk’s injury will be a massive blow to the ambitions of the Anfield club.

Bala Devi hopes spectators can return for the U-17 World Cup

The football scene in India is still one that is developing. In the same vein, women’s football barely makes it to our TV screens. India Women’s Bala Devi hopes that the Under-17 Women’s World Cup in India will bring about a change in the current scenario.

For those unaware, Bala Devi is a brilliant forward who plays for the Indian Women’s National team and, more impressively, Scotland’s Rangers FC. She is the first Indian woman to have secured a professional footballing contract overseas.

Read all about Bala Devi on a post we covered earlier, by clicking here.

Speaking to Goal.com, Bala Devi said: “If they (the team) do well, it will help for sure. I hope by then the crowds can come back into football but it totally depends on the COVID-19 situation of course.”

“The more people that watch, the more youth will be inspired to take up the sport.”

And it is hard to disagree with the icon. Speaking about the tournament, she hoped to see the fans back in the stands for the World Cup. However, whether that can turn into a reality remains to be seen given the current restrictions on public gatherings.

2020 Womens U 17 World Cup to be held from Nov 2 21 Bala Devi hopes spectators can return for the U-17 World Cup

The Women’s Under-17 World Cup was originally supposed to be held in India from October 2020. Unfortunately, it was postponed to February of next year, and as of the latest news, has been pushed back even further.

Considering that the most recent guidelines in the unlocking regulations proposed by the government allow 100 people to attend sporting events outside of containment zones, it might not be that long before we get to see fans in the stadiums for matches not only in India but all across the world.

India was also the host of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in 2017, which was won by England. Bala Devi mentioned that the country hosting another major tournament of the stature of the U-17 World Cup could make young people ambitious about achieving success in the sport.

IPL 2020: Tim Seifert to reportedly replace injured Ali Khan in the Kolkata Knight Riders squad

In a bid to revive their flustering IPL campaign, Kolkata Knight Riders have reportedly signed New Zealand wicketkeeper Tim Seifert as a replacement for the injured US international bowler Ali Khan.

The news is yet to be made official by the franchise themselves, but apparently, Seifert missed the Plunkett Shield match that he was due to take part in. Instead, he will travel to the United Arab Emirates in the coming weeks to join up with the squad. Ali Khan was already an injury replacement to Harry Gurney, who pulled out of the IPL 2020 tournament early on itself.

This move would come as a curious one, however, considering that KKR are struggling in the bowling department particularly. With Narine in the dugout owing to suspected spin actions and Russell also facing some fitness issues in recent times.

Further, this might also come as a doubt on where Dinesh Karthik’s current future lies with the team. Seifert being an experienced wicketkeeper-batsman, might be recruited to provide some steel to the middle order.

India vs New Zealand: Watched Brendon McCullum's innings on YouTube before  opening, reveals Tim Seifert | Sports News,The Indian Express

Tim Seifert will be a familiar face for cricket fans worldwide, having watched him in action during the ICC World Cup 2019. He helped New Zealand reach the finals of the tournament. Seifert has also had a decent T20 career, with him scoring 1775 runs in 83 innings so far.

For someone who shuttles between the top and middle order, he has a good strike rate as well of 134.77 with a batting average of 25. The left-hander so far has 8 50s and a single 100 to his name, so he comes with a little experience in this squad.

It will now be interesting to see where head coach Brendon McCullum can make use of Seifert in a KKR squad, which desperately needs points if they want to qualify for the playoffs of IPL 2020.

East Bengal confirm three new signings

East Bengal is ready to conquer the ISL from its first season. All the teams in ISL are much stronger than the ones in I-League. To compete with the East Bengal surely needed an upgradation in their team.

Earlier this month East Bengal’s director Mr. Bangur said, “We have very little time to prepare.” Keeping this in mind East Bengal has already recruited Liverpool Legend Robbie Fowler as their head coach.

They have also signed some talented Young Indian players like Lalramchullova, Mohammed Rafique, C.K.Vineeth, Balwant Singh, Cavin Lobo, Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Jeje, and many more.

East Bengal is now going for some talented foreigners. Yesterday they confirmed three more signings. One is Anthony Pilkington and the other one is Aaron Joshua Amadi-Holloway. Ville Matti Steinmann is the newest addition to the squad.

Anthony Pilkington has joined East Bengal from Wigan Athletic. The 32-year-old winger is a highly experienced attacker. He has played in some big clubs England like Huddersfield Town, Norwich City, Cardiff City etc. He was a part of Manchester United’s Youth Academy in his youth career. The Irish Winger has also represented his country 9 times in his career as well.

Aaron Joshua Amadi-Holloway has signed for the ‘Red and Gold’ from A-League side Brisbane Roar.

Ville Matti Steinmann is the newest addition to the team. The 25-year-old German midfielder has played for his home team Hamburgers SV in Bundesliga.

East Bengal is making them ready to maintain their legacy in the new league. Their head coach Robbie Fowler said, “You need to earn the Red and Gold stripes. Hence, no Red and Gold color in the practice kits. Only matchday kits will have them.”

Former Liverpool legend knows what legacy means to a club and fans of SC East Bengal and he will surely try to give them the rewards with this new squad.

CMA regulates Instagram to tackle Hidden ads in the UK

0

Hidden advertising has always been an issue in influencing social media platforms. Especially those with a global reach. Facebook is the current social media giant owing to the famous platforms of Facebook and Instagram.

Both of these platforms are used for advertising various businesses and products. The social media platform used to upload, like, and comment on media files has grown into a big source for establishing a digital network.

In 2018, the competition and market authority (CMA) started its investigation on various social media influencers. These so-called influencers have been accused of promoting businesses using their profile handle without disclosing whether they are paid to do.

Facebook is stilling Biometric data of its users through Instagram - 1_TechnoSports.co.in

Soon after, 16 celebrities, including those from the UK, agreed to declare whether they are being paid for the endorsement of products they advertise. The declaration, however, came only after the CMA issued a warning to these celebs.

The CMA has now reportedly informed the social media platform Instagram to crack down on hidden.

A spokesperson for Facebook stated, “pleased to be working with the CMA on our continued efforts to help people be transparent about when they are paid to post content on Instagram,” as reported by sources.

Instagram stated that it had taken several measures in its persuasion of cracking down hidden ads.

The new measures from Instagram will include:

  • Asking users whether they’ve been incentivized to promote something and, if so, to disclose it.
  • Allowing all users to display clear labels on paid posts.
  • Using algorithms to sniff out users that fail to disclose their post is an ad.

Chief Executive of CMA, Andrea Coscelli, said in a statement, “For too long, major platforms have shied away from taking responsibility for hidden advertising on their site.”

This new crackdown from CMA comes with its motive to tackle hidden adverts and improving the posts on social media handles. This is so that users will find it difficult to ignore the law. These new measures are directed towards all Instagram users in the U.K and all those globally whose posts are directed in the British Isles.

The Cupertino giant has recently launched its iPhone 12 series, which packs 4 iPhones, all of them being 5G capable. This has already made headlines, and people like every other iPhone launch are waiting to get their hands-on with these new iPhones.

However, this time Apple could expect significant jump in iPhones sales this time and its primary reason could be 5G. Yes, the new iPhones are expected to deliver excellent 5G coverage which is the future of the next-gen cellular connectivity.

Apple could expect significant sales for its new iPhone 12 series

Although 5G is still on its way across the globe, new iPhone 12 series could be a reason for a lot of people to upgrade their old iPhones especially in countries like USA, China, South Korea and the European nations where 5G is already beaming high.

A recent report from Digitimes, confirms the fact that the shipments for the iPhone 12 series have a chance of hitting as many as 80 million units by the end of 2020. Foxconn, who is the major assembler for the iPhone 12 series, Apple shows its reliance on the Taiwanese ecosystem.
