According to some recent reports, Samsung Galaxy S21 has been spotted at the Geekbench website, but the highlight is this phone will not be powered by the Exynos 1000 chipset. Some leaked reports claim that the Exynos 1000 will be quite faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 SoC. Apart from this, whatever results we’ve got from the Geekbench listing regarding the upcoming S21 flagship of Samsung are tangibly lower.
The model number we’ve witnessed there is the SM-G996B. This model number is likely to be the Euro version of the Samsung Galaxy S21+. This smartphone is expected to be powered by an Exynos 2100 chipset, which is completely different from the previous one. So, here the comparison begins with the rumoured scores of the Exynos 1000 and Snapdragon 875.
This phone is expected to have 8GB of RAM as the 6.77 GB figure likely omits the memory reserved for the GPU. Now the current Samsung Galaxy S20+ 4G version has the same RAM capacity of 8GB, whereas the 5G version of this phone has the RAM capacity of 12GB. The four A55 cores in the Exynos 990 run at 2.0 GHz whereas the Exynos 1000 is said to feature the new Cortex-X1 core.
As of now, the specifications of the Galaxy S21+ have not been confirmed by the company. Still, it is expected that the Galaxy S21+ will run on the latest Android 11 OS (almost confirmed). Regarding the battery, this phone is expected to have a battery backup of 4,800mAH, a 300 mAh bump over the S20+.
The Manchester United star was awarded the PFA Merit Award this year, in recognition for his actions off the pitch. Marcus Rashford is a perfect example of what it truly means to be a good human being above all.
Despite earning millions at United, the player has not forgotten his roots. Most importantly, the player realizes the importance of giving back to society. To try and make the world a better place is something that all of us can try to do.
However, it is something truly inspirational when successful people stay humble and true to their beginnings.
Rashford is a long-running advocate for the eradication of child food poverty. The forward regularly takes to Twitter to voice his opinions and share the stories of the underprivileged. Over the last 24 hours, the United forward has been very active on Twitter, sharing the following messages to all his followers.
…the reality is, looking ahead to October, there are going to be many more like her. This is a bigger pandemic than Covid. These parents aren’t sleeping counting down the days to Oct half term, Xmas holidays…these parents, their children, NEED our help!
Despite the long-standing rivalry between United and Liverpool, Rashford has the maturity to realize that there are things bigger than football.
He tweeted: “I do what I do for Liverpool as much as anywhere. Children all over the UK are crying out for our help. This is much bigger than me, than football, than politics. It’s time we all started listening, instead of clouding our views will allegiances and rivalries..”

Arguably the most powerful point of all is the 22-year-old’s realization that he has a voice that is heard. And the player uses his voice to echo the concerns of those who do not have the means to help themselves.
The England international’s restless efforts to combat childhood food poverty have been recognized by London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Twitter. The Mayor of the capital sent this message to the young man, appreciating him for his efforts:
More determined than ever, thank you for your kind words @SadiqKhan

Alongside we have got some key specifications of this upcoming phone. So let’s check out these specifications of this upcoming phone.
Rumored Specifications of Samsung Galaxy F41
The Galaxy F41 comes with Full HD+ sAMOLED infinity U-display. The size of this display is still unknown, but we are expecting that the phone sports 6-inches display- just like every other smartphone in 2020.
According to the Google Play Console, Samsung will be going back to its favorite chipset- Exynos 9611 and the SoC will be equipped with 6GB RAM. But we haven’t got any information regarding its internal storage capacity. The phone will run on Android 10
This upcoming phone will be backed by a decent battery of 6,000 mAh- just like several M series devices. But the supportive charging speed is not known to yet. The phone also has a USB Type-C port for charging.
Regarding the camera part, the phone will have a rectangular camera module with a triple rear camera setup, which includes 64 megapixels of the main sensor alongside an ultrawide lens and another unknown sensor. We are expecting that the unknown sensor may be a telephoto sensor. On the front side, the phone features a teardrop notch cutout to hold a selfie camera, but the selfie camera sensor is still unknown.
The device is confirmed to have a rear fingerprint sensor. We are assuming that the phone may have dual stereo speakers. No more further information is still not reported. We will surely get to know everything about this phone on October 8.
Day 6 of the IPL will finally feature two teams who have already played their first match as Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Kings XI Punjab.
Interestingly both sides had their ups and downs. RCB is coming off an win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. On the other hand, KXIP is coming off a loss against Delhi Capitals. The match went into the super over.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB started their campaign with a win over SRH. They put up a decent score of 163 batting first. Youngster Devdatt Padikkal scored an impressive 56 with Aaron Finch’s 29 to set the platform. The innings was given a finishing touch as AB de Villiers scored a quickfire 51 of just 30 balls.
The game was slipping away from their hands as Johnny Bairstow was cruising towards the total. However, Dale Steyn and Navdeep Saini had to hold the innings as Yuzvendra Chahal took wickets from the other end.

Kings XI Punjab
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.
Therefore, KXIP will try to avoid some silly tactical errors they made in their first match. They will need their middle-order batsmen like Karun Nair and Glenn Maxwell to deliver.

Fantasy XI team!
VIRAT KOHLI (10.5) (C) – You cannot keep Kohli quiet for long. It’ll be safe to assign him as a captain keeping his consistency in mind.
AARON FINCH (9.0) – Finch has been in sublime touch as well. Also, he is expected to stay long as Padikkal attacks from the other end.
YUZVENDRA CHAHAL (9) (VC) – Chahal has developed into a phenomenal and intelligent limited over spinner. He picked up three valuable wickets in his last match. He’ll be the vice-captain.
JOSH PHILLIPE (8) – Phillipe is entering the IPL with a lot of hype. It will be interesting to him in the RCB middle-order.
NAVDEEP SAINI (8.5) – Saini has been a positive for RCB in both powerplay and death overs. He restricted the flow of runs when Umesh Yadav was getting punished.
KL RAHUL (10.5) – KL Rahul can definitely put a huge performance anytime.
NICHOLAS POORAN (9) – Though he couldn’t deliver last time around, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
GLENN MAXWELL (9.0) – Maxwell has been in great form throughout the international circuit, a big innings is definitely around the corner.
MOHD. SHAMI (8.5) – Shami looked phenomenal with his spell where he picked up 3 wickets.
RAVI BISNOI (8) – Bishnoi impressed everyone with his dynamic leg spin.
MAYANK AGARWAL (9) – Aggarwal looked in great form. He will play an anchor like innings as Rahul smashes from the other end.
Prediction
RCB have picked up a lot of confidence and momentum after their first win. T20 is a game of striking the balanced combination and RCB did that last time around. KXIP have struggled to address some issues like their middle-order batting and some pace bowling.
Qualcomm has announced its second Snapdragon 700 series chipset dubbed Snapdragon 750G with support for both mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G using an integrated X52 5G modem and improved CPU and graphics performance than the last year’s Snapdragon 730G. It brings several improvements over the Snapdragon 730G and lies between the Snapdragon 690 and Snapdragon 765G.
The new chip is an improved version of 2019’s Snapdragon 730G which now features the new Kryo 570 CPU which uses Cortex-A77 cores clocked at 2.2GHz which offers with a 20 percent performance improvement over the Kryo 470 found in Snapdragon 730G and this new SoC uses the Adreno 619 GPU which is said to offer 10 percent improvement over the Snapdragon 730G.
The Adreno 619 GPU in Snapdragon 750G supports 120 Hz display of up to 1080p resolution and adds Game Color Plus and Adreno HDR Fast Blend for efficient HDR 10 rendering.
Overall the new Snapdragon 750G offers better performance than the superior 765G and 768G at least on paper but it isn’t there to replace them but it could mean that Qualcomm is planning to refresh its 700 series chipsets in the near future.
One of the main highlights of the latest Snapdragon 750G is the X52 5G modem which can be also found on the Snapdragon 765G. The X52 modem supports mmWave 5G with maximum download speeds of 3.7 Gbps along with the support for sub 6 standard while the X51 modem used in Snapdragon 690 supports Sub-6 only. Qualcomm is marketing Snapdragon 750G as a truly global 5G chipset with support for multi-SIM.
The 750G offers the fifth-gen AI engine which can be found on the flagship-grade Qualcomm chipsets which offers a 20 percent increase in AI performance. The new AI engine also powers up the AI-based echo cancellation and noise suppression.
First Snapdragon 750G powered smartphone is expected to arrive by the end of this year and Xiaomi is going to make that first smartphone to hit the market with the 750G.
A few years ago we saw a new brand rise with its unbeatable smartphone but after that one launch that company went missing and that company was none other than Xiaomi’s new subsidiary Poco which initially launched as a Xiaomi sub-brand but fast forward to 2020 Poco declares themselves as an independent brand and make a comeback but with some of the most unoriginal smartphones we have ever seen from a relatively young brand and then this month Poco launched X3 one of its most exciting smartphones after the F1.
Till Poco X3 one of the main problems of Poco was that it kept launching rebranded Xiaomi smartphones to be particular Redmi smartphones even Poco’s flagship Poco F2 Pro was a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro and all of their budget offerings were rebranded Redmi Note series smartphones but it changed with X3 which came with is quite distinguishable from its Redmi counterparts and can be badged as a Poco original.
Poco X3 debuted earlier this month in the European markets and yesterday it introduced the X3 in India for a starting price of INR 16,999 for the base variant with 64GB of internal storage while you can get 128GB of storage for INR 18,499 while you can have 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM at INR 19,999.
Apart from being an impressive Poco smartphone, the X3 is one of the most impressive mid-range smartphones available in the market currently. It packs powerful hardware that you’d expect from a Poco smartphone with a clutter-free MIUI which makes it a steal deal.
For starters, it has a high refresh rate display which is not just high its higher, 120Hz to be precise but it isn’t an AMOLED panel but still, HDR 10 certification and 240Hz of sampling rate make this display one of the best out there for its price.
Under the hood, Poco X3 is powered by Snapdragon’s latest 732G brings coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and a maximum of 256GB of storage. According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 732G brings over 15 percent more processing power than the last year’s 730G which is powering Google’s latest Pixel 4a.
If you look out in the market these specs are being found in a smartphone which is selling for somewhere around INR 20,000 to INR 30,000 but Poco brings this hardware for at least the half of it which is just mind-boggling because at X3’s price other brands are still offering Snapdragon 600 chipset of the good old Snapdragon 730G.
Well just like any other midrange Poco X3 also features a quad camera setup on the back with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX682 main sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with f/2.2 aperture, and two 2-megapixel sensors functioning as a depth sensor and macro lens. Sony’s IMX682 sensor is a proven camera sensor so if you’re out there looking for a great camera phone with powerful internals then Poco X3 is for you.
Another noticeable feature of Poco X3 is its battery and the Indian variant has received a special treatment here as opposed to 5160mAH battery in the international variant Indian variant has a humongous 6000mAH battery which can be charged at 33W using the stock charger provided in the box.
Another plus point of Poco X3 is PocoLauncher 2.0 which is based on Xiaomi’s MIUI 12 that is highly customizable and is considered one of the best third party android skin out there but the main problem with MIUI is bloatware and not so good advertisements which pop everywhere in the UI and it’s quite frustrating but Poco’s version of MIUI is ad-free and Poco has promised it to keep ad-free forever so if you were planning to buy a Redmi smartphone then I’d suggest you go for the Poco X3 as you won’t have to encounter those ads anymore.
These all features set Poco X3 aside from the competition but its aggressive pricing kills the competition since the other smartphones in this range like Realme 7 Pro, Narzo 20 Pro, and Moto Fusion+ slides under the radar because of the specifications of the Poco X3 and its quite refreshing to see Poco do something original.
So if you’re out in the market for a dependable smartphone, then you should go for the Poco X3 without any doubts.
Android 11 is still fresh in the mobile market and yet to release to the maximum smartphones. At this moment, Google also releases the TV version. Just like the mobile version, the Android TV 11 also debuts in the market with a single device but will reach to other TVs from the next month for sure.
Most of the noted features of the mobile Android 11 are not applied to the TV version. Google mainly focused on performance, as well as security. Obviously, some TV specific new features are also there. Some of the additions are one-time permission and improved memory management.
We all know TV is all about entertainment and nurturing with media files. So, the new update brings support for Auto Low Latency Mode to the TV. Besides that, extended gamepad support, inactivity prompts, and silent boot modes for system updates are also spotted.
Apart from the visible features and updates, there are some more behind the curtain. The list includes a new Tune Framework, extensions to the HAL implementation of HDMI CEC, and a new test harness mode for app developers.
I already discussed that currently the update only roll out to a particular device and sure will be available for the other devices from the next month. If you are an Android TV user, wait a bit more to enjoy it.

All the football matches are being played behind closed doors due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Thus has affected all the clubs financially as ticket sales are one of the most important sources of income for the clubs.
UK government has rejected the idea of allowing limited no of fans in the stadium from October due to the rising COVID-19 cases. So the clubs are in a bad financial position.
The Premier League clubs are backed by rich owners that’s why clubs like Chelsea, Wolves have broken their bank in the transfer market. The Premier League has seen a lot of incoming transfers.
So now, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has asked all the Premier League clubs to come forward and help the lower division clubs of England. Chelsea paid for COVID-19 tests for tonight’s Carabao Cup opponents Barnsley.
Lampard said at a press conference: “I do think clubs in the Premier League and the Premier League themselves have a heart.”
“They understand that and I’m sure as we move forward they will be making positive moves on that front.”
“In football, if you are talking about how Premier League clubs can help those lower down in the leagues, we have paid for the tests for Barnsley. It’s a sign of a club in the Premier League doing the right thing.”
“I think it’s important that the Premier League as a collective looks at supporting the EFL, the leagues below and grassroots football absolutely, of course. Because that’s the base of why we’re all here.”
“We all started – well I did and (a lot) of the young players started in Sunday league football.”
“I’ve managed in the Championship so I know the difficulties because I was very close with Mel Morris and I understand a lot of the difficulties a lot of the clubs are having.”
Frank Lampard has raised his voice for a great cause and has also led his club by example by paying for the COVID-19 tests of Barnsley team. It remains to be seen whether the other Premier League clubs come forward in this great cause.
