Around a year after the launch of Google Stadia, Amazon brought its new game streaming service down to the field. It has been named Amazon Luna and nearly identical to its rival Google Stadia.
Amazon Luna streams more than 100 games from the cloud to the apps on various platforms like PC, Mac, Fire TV, iPhone, and iPad. For iPhones and iPads, it has special web applications. If you are an Android user, not to worry. Amazon will launch for this platform too, after Luna’s debut in the market.
I already mentioned that Amazon Luna will come to the market with more than 100 games and also various titles including Control, GRID, Abzu, Panzer Dragon, Sonic Mania, Metro Exodus, Overcooked 2, and Rime. Luna also brings Ubisoft’s own ‘channel’, for some other major titles like Assassins Creed Valhalla, and Fenyx Rising are also added to the list.
Though the cost of Ubisoft’s components is not declared yet, the ‘introductory’ price of Luna+ will be $5.99/month. In return, you will get access to all games, unlimited gameplay facility at 1080p/60fps.
Just like Google Stadia, Luna also has its own controller, costs $49.99 during Early Access. This controller ‘goes straight to Amazon’s service’ and doesn’t use Bluetooth or any other local connections. This helps to reduce the latency by up to 17-30 milliseconds.
The Amazon Luna is integrated with Twitch where streamers can stream their gameplays and audiences can join to view that with just one click.
OnePlus 8T is just around the corner for the official unveiling and it supposed to get some major upgrades and one of them is the support for 65W charging which is dubbed as Warp Charging 65 which has been also been doing the rounds of the internet before OnePlus even made an official announcement.
The latest teaser advertisement shared by the OnePlus teases that the upcoming OnePlus 8T will be getting the “Ultra Fast” charging speeds which are even going to be faster than the current Warp Charge 30T and the next charging speed which is available in the market especially used by other smartphone manufacturers is 65W charger so it will be smart to guess that it’s going to have support for 65W charging.
Well, a 65W charger will not be something very new as we have already seen OnePlus. counterparts like Xiaomi and Realme adopting the new charging speedway before OnePlus. Several budget handsets even now come with the 65W chargers so it will be not as exciting as the original Dash Charger but it will be exciting to see how OnePlus will be implementing it.
OnePlus also gave us a little sneak peek of the upcoming Warp Charge 65 in the latest forum post and according to the forum post the upcoming charging technology will be able to give a day’s power in 15 minutes and it will be capable of charging OnePlus 8T’s 4500mAH battery completely in 39 minutes and it can charge half the battery in 15 minutes.
The OnePlus 8T will be having a dual battery setup and the new charger will be charging both the batteries simultaneously at more than 30W without being heated up.
I've been using this phone for several months now … And trust me, 120Hz is just the start of it.😉 https://t.co/9l0VxjQz9l
Another big highlight of the upcoming OnePlus 8T will be a 120Hz display which has been officially confirmed by the OnePlus be CEO Pete Lau on the microblogging platform Twitter and he even said that he’s using the phone from the last few months.
OnePlus has also shared a video teaser for Warp Charge 65 which basically summarises OnePlus’ earlier charging technology and reveals the name of the new 65W charging tech.
OnePlus 8T 5G is set to arrive on October 14 without the bigger “Pro” variant as per the ongoing rumors.
Javi Martinez scored his first goal for Bayern since they beat Dortmund 5-0 in 2019.
In all likelihood, it will also be his last since Martinez looks set to return to Spain.
Thomas Muller became the most awarded German player in history with 26 trophies at club level. He is tied with former teammate Bastian Schweinsteiger
The match ball was designed by two kids from the match venue of Budapest.
This is Bayern’s second Super Cup victory. The last time they won it was in 13/14 when they won the continental treble for the first time.
First Half
The 2020 UEFA Super Cup between Bayern Munich and Sevilla started out as a fast, physical contest. 10 minutes into the game Rakitic was fouled by David Alaba in the box and won a penalty for Sevilla.
Lucas Ocampos took the spot-kick and converted from 12 yards out, sending Neuer in the wrong direction. The cheekiest part of it was the little no-look stunt that Ocampos pulled off while beating one of the world’s best goalkeepers.
The first half brought about a lot of chances for the Champions League winners. But the resolute partnership of Diego Carlos and Jules Kounde kept the Bavarians at bay.
Goretzka equalized in the 33rd minute following a lobbed ball into the box by Muller, set up for a shot by Lewandowski.
Second Half
Lewandowski almost gave Bayern the lead in the 49th minute after finishing a teasing 1-2 with Muller following a brilliantly lobbed ball by Sane.
However, the goal was ruled out for offside. Lewandowski’s foot was just behind the line when Sane picked the forward out deep in the opposition box.
Youssef En-Nesyri almost won the match in the 86th minute in a one-on-one with Neuer. However, the German’s heroics kept Bayern in the game.
Despite chances aplenty for both sides, it finished 1-1 at the end of regulation time.
ET: First Half
Diego Carlos gave away a cheap corner following an intervention. It would prove to be vital as Javi Martinez scored a rebound header to give Bayern the lead.
ET: Second Half
Sevilla had a great chance to equalise right off the bat. However, Ocampos’ volley could not find the back of the net.
The first week of the Indian Premier League has already covered eventful outcomes like super over, upsets, injuries, etc. To mark the first week of this prestigious tournament, another barn burner is coming our way as Chennai Super Kings will take on Delhi Capitals.
It has been a busy week for CSK as the three-time world champions will play their third match. Coming off a loss against Rajasthan Royals, they will look to end the week on a good note.
Capitals, on the other hand, had a close escape against Kings XI Punjab in their last match. KXIP were easily cruising towards an easy win as they needed only 1 run from 3 balls. However, Marcus Stoinis had other plans as he restricted KXIP to a tie. The super over had even more bad news for KXIP as they were restricted to only runs which DC chased comfortably to win the game.
Chennai Super Kings
Even though CSK is coming off a loss against Royals, they showcased some great aspects of their game. Faf Du Plessis again proved why he’s one of the best batsmen in the world by scoring an incredible 72 of just 37 balls. Shane Watson, Sam Curran and not to forget, MS Dhoni showed some glimpses of form as well.
Their bowling, however, looked a bit off. Ngidi conceded a massive 30 runs off his last over. Veteran Piyush Chawla was countered as well as he conceded 50 runs in just 3 overs. That being said, CSK know where their weaknesses are and can work on them.
Delhi Capitals
Capitals managed to have a slight edge in this match, however, they will have to work on many aspects as well. Their top-order has been a concern. Both Prithvi Shaw and Shimron Hetmyer looked out of touch. The middle-order looked great but captain Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant will have to convert their 30s into 60s. Marcus Stoinis, on the other hand, looked in sublime touch.
DC suffered a huge blow as experienced R. Ashwin suffered shoulder dislocation. Therefore, Amit Mishra can be seen in his place.
(PC- Scroll.in)
Fantasy XI team!
FAF DU PLESSIS (9)(C) – Du Plessis is coming off two phenomenal fifties. He scored 72 of just 37 balls with 7 sixes. He’ll again be my captain.
SHANE WATSON(9.5) – Watson found some form in the last game. He, therefore, retains his place.
SAM CURRAN (8.5) (VC) – Curran bowled really well and also scored a match-winning cameo in their first match against MI. Dhoni likes the idea of promoting him depending upon the situation. He’ll therefore be my vice-captain.
RAVINDRA JADEJA (9) – Jadeja bowled really good in their first match against MI and scored a quickfire cameo as well.
PIYUSH CHAWLA (8.5) – Chawla looked really good in the first match as well. He was expensive in their last game, but in absence of Ashwin for DC, we can give him a go.
SHIKHAR DHAWAN (10) – Shikhar Dhawan can be extremely explosive in the powerplay overs and may also play an anchor sort of an innings and score big!
SHREYAS IYER (9.5) – Iyer played really well the last game to put DC to a respectable score after the top order failed.
MARCUS STOINIS (8.5) – Stoinis impressed the entire cricketing community last time around with his fifty of just 20 balls and two wickets in the last over to restrict KXIP to a tie.
RISHABH PANT (9.5) – Pant will have to convert his thirties into fifties or sixties. He looked good in the last match holding the innings together with Iyer.
KAGISO RABADA (9.0) – He will lead the Delhi attack. He has looked good in this IPL.
Prediction
CSK has looked extremely balanced this IPL. Even though they lost their last game against RR, they looked really good. CSK lost by only 16 runs while chasing a mammoth score of 216 runs. Skipper MS Dhoni seems to have found form as well.
Chennai Super Kings will therefore defeat Delhi Capitals.
A couple of days ago at the Realme Narzo 20 Series launch event, the company has given a detailed explanation about the custom Android skin dubbed Realme UI 2.0. Currently, the Realme flagship X50 Pro 5G will get this newest Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 OS (probably arriving towards the end of the next month). This will be the Beta version of the OS. The stable version will be available for release at the end of November.
Among those stories, new news has just come out of the box. The Realme VP Xu Qi Chase today announced that the company is all set for a launch of a new smartphone next month with Realme UI 2.0. S0, we can expect that we can use this Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 very soon.
As of now, Realme has not revealed any further information regarding the upcoming smartphone. Yesterday, we’ve got another leak from the Twitter handle of renowned tipster Mukul Sharma that Realme is also in working to make an under-display selfie camera smartphone. Actually, there was a leaked image of a Realme phone in which we are unable to locate any selfie camera. That’s why we can assume that Realme is also in line for a truly under-display selfie camera phone. As of now, we don’t have any further information about this upcoming smartphone from Realme.
But in the end, we’re going to get the Creativity, Sociability, and Productivity with the hands of the Realme UI 2.0. It’ll also bring you an improved Dark Mode, better privacy, and many more things.
Leeds United has confirmed the signing of the Spanish defender Diego Llorente. Llorente has signed a 5-year deal with the Premier League side for a fee of around £18 million.
Diego Llorente started his career at Real Madrid. He left Madrid in 2017 to join Real Sociedad. He has scored 8 goals for the Spanish club in his 88 appearances. He also has 5 international caps to his name.
Leeds United has confirmed the signing of Llorente by their twitter handle. After joining the club Llorente said the move to the Leeds United is an ‘honor’ for him.
✍️ #LUFC are delighted to announce the signing of defender Diego Llorente from Real Sociedad
“For me, the Premier League is the competition that is the most important in the world of football and it is a challenge to be here and I’m looking forward to getting started and helping my teammates,” he said.
“Marcelo Bielsa was also a key factor. For me, he is the greatest manager in the world and it is an honor. I’ve come to learn as much as possible from him.”, Llorente added.
Llorente is the fourth signing of Bielsa for Leeds United. Leeds are back in the Premier League after 16 long years. It was a decent start for them in the league after a 3-4 loss against Liverpool and 4-3 win against Fulham. In the first two matches, it clearly shows that Leeds are capable of doing extra-ordinary in the league but the defence has been a big issue for them. Diego Llorente’s addition to the team can give them solidity at the back and help them in their fight to stay in the Premier League.
