Jon Prosser, a renowned leakster, he is the one who correctly predicted the launch of the iPhone SE 2020 and now he has again tweeted the launch dates and availability status of some Apple products.
In his tweet he has revealed the approximate launch date and shipping dates of Apple iPhone 12 series, iPads and Apple Watch. The dates shared by Jon is almost 80% correct and he has also mentioned that he will inform is there is any change in these dates.
Now coming to the iPhone 12 series, we will get to see the launch event on the 42nd week which starts with the date 12th October. The pre-order of the iPhone 12 devices, except iPhone 12 Pro, will start from that week but the shipping ill continue from the next week starting with 17th October.
New, adjusted Apple dates!
Apple Watch & iPad – Via press release – Week 37 w/c Sep 7
iPhone 12 event – Week 42 w/c Oct 12
iPhone 12 devices – Preorders week 42 w/c Oct 12 – Shipping week 43 w/c Oct 19
iPhone 12 Pro devices – Preorder and shipping in Nov (no exact date yet)
He has also mentioned that the iPhone 12 Pro version will be available for pre-order sometimes in November and the shipping of the device will follow the date on that month itself.
Moreover, along with iPhones he has also revealed that iPad and Apple Watch will be released from the second week of September starting from 7th.
Reports claim that Apple might release four different smartphones in the iPhone 12 series – iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Max and iPhone 12 Max Pro. We are still not sure how many devices will be launched in the iPhone 12 series.
A new LG device has been spotted in the FCC certification with a model number LG LM-K310lM, and it is expected to be named as LG K31s because the LG K41 had a model number LM-K410. The FCC certification has also revealed a bunch of images of the device from all sides.
From the images we can see that the phone will have a drop notch display, dual camera setup and there is no fingerprint scanner at the back of the phone. But we can see dual rear camera setup placed vertically along with a flash.
the phone will have a Type-C charging port along with a speaker at the bottom, and it will sport a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top of the phone. It is still not clear if the phone will have an in-display fingerprint scanner or not.
Further, the listing shows dual-SIM support, a 3,900mAh or 4,000mAh battery, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. It shows connectivity options including 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, LTE, and Bluetooth.
The listing has been filed by LG Electronics India so there is a high chance that the phone will debut first in India as a mid-range smartphone.
The Geekbench listing reveals the same model number will sport a 2.0GHz processor which might be the MediaTek Helio P22 chipset. The phone will run on Android 10 along with 3GB RAM.
The Frenchman has traveled to Lisbon as a part of the 26 men squad selected for the Champions League clash and after the training in Portugal, Dembรฉlรฉ is declared fit to play against Bayern Munich. This was kind of expected and he will be a key man to bolster Barcelona’s attack on Friday night.
The 23-year old has been ruled out of football for about 192 days after injuring the proximal biceps femoris tendon of his right thigh.ย This 2019-20 season has not been the expected one from Dembรฉlรฉ because of his injury problems and this lockdown break has given him an opportunity to return to football that too in the crucial stage of the Champions League.
No one can argue about Dembรฉlรฉ’s abilities, his skills, pace and shots are decisive, to have him in the squad does make a huge impact. The 23-year old had scored some amazing Champions League goals for Barcelona that none can forget and if he can bring some of the flare to the team, then the Blaugranas still have some chances of winning against the mighty Bayern Munich.
After being operated on February 10, Dembรฉlรฉ has utilized the lockdown on his recovery and finally he has a chance to prove his massive transfer money that the club spent on him. Most probably, he will have a big role to play in the second half coming off the bench and make some deadly runs to threaten the German champions.
What do you think of Dembรฉlรฉ’s return to the squad? Will he create an impact against Bayern? Tell us your views on the comments down below…๐
We know iQOO 5 is scheduled to launch on 17th August and many specifications have been revealed as the launch is nearing. The phone is tipped to have a 120Hz AMOLED display, 120W fast charging support, and even VC cooling with Ultra game mode. To be more exact the phone will be a gaming smartphone from the brand with all the latest high-tech specs loaded in it.
More importantly, we have also noticed that the phone will have a BMW Edition as the company has partnered with the car manufacturer on occasion for the 2020 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM). Meanwhile, the retail box of the phone has been spotted in Weibo along with many camera samples which also includes amazing night modes other BMW M Motorsportโs race cars.
Leaks and reports suggest that the iQOO 5 will come with a triple rear camera setup that will have a 5X optical and 60X digital zoom. The phone will feature the ordinary Snapdragon 865 SoC but not the Plus version.
With all the leaks surfacing around the internet, the company has also confirmed that the phone will come with a punch hole cut display as well as a curved one on both sides. Might be a 2.5D curvature as we have seen in most of the Oppo and Samsung devices.
The Chilean international of FC Barcelona has been talking in the press conference before facing Bayern Munich on Friday, and he was open to talk about his former club where he spent a lot of time. Obviously, this quarter-final will be one of the biggest in the Champions League history as both of the team are giants in their own country and still, Bayern remains the favorites this time.
The former Bayern midfielder explained: “It’s the most important game of the year, and we have high hopes that the championship will be ours.”
Vidal talked about his opponents that “Bayern are always favorites. I was there and I felt it, but tomorrow’s game is against FC Barcelona and Barรงa is the best in the world, so it will be very even.” He added: โIt will be a great game, very tight. Bayern has had a spectacular year, and are Bundesliga and German Cup winners. We know how difficult it’s going to be, but we’re FC Barcelona and if we do things well we can win. We will try to leave everything out on the pitch.โ
This COVID-19 has forced a lot of changes to the normal routine of the Champions League schedule and Vidal has talked about it too: โI like this one-game format, the Copa Amรฉrica is played like this and it’s very entertaining, the teams go out to win. With two games, the show isn’t so good because there are teams that play much more defensively than in the first game.โ Asked about whether he hoped to start the match, he continued: โAll the players would like and deserve to play, but the coach has to choose 11. The 11 that are chosen have to play in the best way possible in order to qualify for the semifinals.โ
Also, Arturo Vidal was asked about his thoughts on Bayern’s marksman and even on their new coach: โLewandowski is extraordinary, very dangerous and a great scorer. It will be very difficult to mark him, but a comparison with Messi is difficult. Leo is from another planet, although Lewandowski is the best striker in the world alongside Luis Suรกrez. Coach Flick has done very well and has won two titles.”
This will be a quarter-final game to remember and its the first time when Barcelona will be the “underdogs” facing the Bundesliga champions, who have never won to a Spanish club for the last 5 encounters. Will the game be taken away by Lewandowski? or will Messi lead his team to the semi-final again? Do leave your predictions in the comments down below…๐
A recent report claims that Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite is spotted in the Geekbench listing. The phone is also known as the Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition. This model has been spotted with Exynos 990 processor and it can already be seen in different reports with few more specs revealed of this alleged phone in past few weeks.
This phone (Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition) is expected to launch at the end of this month to be more specific in the fourth quarter. Previously the Fan Edition had been spotted with Snapdragon 865 SoC but now a new Geekbench listing with model number Samsung SM-G780F has been spotted. This is believed to be the Indian version of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition hints the presence of Exynos 990 SoC in the phone.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition Exynos Version Spotted On Geekbench. โขExynos 990 โขAndroid 10 โข8GB Ram Samsung S20 Fan Edition Firmware Development is Also Started As Earlier Posted By @_the_tech_guyhttps://t.co/iz4B1QP2tfpic.twitter.com/zuvHMQ8zRJ
The Geekbench listing has been spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav, where the phone managed to score 588 and 2,448 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.ย The listing also reveals 8GB RAM and Android 10 support on the phone. This might be one of the versions of the phone and as Samsung releases its smartphones in India with Exynos chipset so, the S20 Lite might be the name of the Indian variant of the upcoming inferior version of the Samsung Galaxy S20.
Specifications of Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition
The phone is reported to have a 120Hz display and IP68 certified built along with a triple rear camera including a 12MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP telephoto unit with 3x optical zoom. The phone is said to have the same 4,500mAh battery just like the Galaxy S20+.
Intel on its Architecture Day 2020, has announced an its next take on 10nm process – the 10nm SuperFin Transistor, which is Intel’s enhanced version of its existing 10nm process. Intel calls this to beย “the largest single, intra-node enhancement in the companyโs history.”
Its no secret that Intel has been working hard on 10nm for quite some time and faced hiccups as well, although they have failed to deliver 7nm in time, it seems this new 10nm SuperFin Transistor can save the game for the Blue team. As Wccftech points out, Intel has even joked about their ++++ improvements of the 14nm process.
Also, Intel did reveal that their new FinFET type for 10nm will allow them to gain several plusses worth of improvement at one go, which seems amazing on paper.ย Intel’s Raja Koduri has even compared the leap from 10nm process to the new 10nm SuperFin as a design shift that offers similar performance benefits to a full node transition.
As 10nm has not been that much convincing against the current 7nm trend, it has received a backlash from its investors, and with the 10nm SuperFin, there is hope toย finally match with the company’s original performance expectations from 10nm process.
Intel has not only fixed its performance problems with the 10nm process but also improved it significantly that will help get several iterations worth of performance uplift in a single go. As they point out, previously, with a single “+” iteration there used to be an uplift of 5%ย in performance, however, with 10nm SuperFin enhanced, the intranode performance uplift is around 17-18% when compared to the original 10nm.
So what improvements can you expect from the new 10nm SuperFin? Here are a list of them:
Improved epitaxial growth of crystal structures on the source and drain, increasing the strain and reducing resistance, allowing more current to flow through the channel.
Enhanced source-drain architecture driving additional higher channel mobility and enabling charge carriers to move more quickly.
Including an additional gate pitch to provide higher drive currents for certain chip functions that require the utmost performance.
Using a new thin barrier reduces via resistance by up to 30% enhancing interconnect performance.
Theย new super MIM metal insulator metal capacitor when compared to the industry standard, delivers a 5x increase in capacitance within the same footprint driving a voltage reduction that translates to dramatically improved product performance. This is an industry-first technology that far exceeds the current capabilities of other manufacturers. This Innovation is enabled by a new class of high-k dielectric materials stacking ultra-thin layers just several angstroms thick to form a repeating superlattice structure.
Originally, this 10nm SuperFin transistor was first developed when trying to fix the original 10nm process architecture and was initially called as 10nm+, but however the naming was changed. The first set of processors to based out of this tech will be Intel’s Tiger Lake processors which will have higher clock speeds for a 10nm chip and other architectural improvementsย to increase efficiency as well.
Intel has also confirmed that they are already working on a SuperFin Enhanced transistor, as they might not be able to deliver 7nm in time maybe. However, another good thing is that Intel will be removing its stupid and confusing ++ naming convention.
For the first time, we can sense positivity from Intel and we can somewhat expect true performance improvements both in CPU and iGPU with Intel Xe graphics. We do not have to wait much as on 2nd September, Intel is slated to launch its new Tiger Lake processors based on 10nm SuperFin Transistor.
The Amazon Prime Day sale just ended around a week ago on 7th August. Apart from huge discounts on all most every product on the Amazon platform, at that event, over 300 new items were launched. The list contains so many televisions, audio devices, laptops, even power banks.
India’s one of the top audio brands, boAt is one of those companies that brought new power banks to us. As this company brings something out of its casual track, it’s our responsibility to let you know the quality. So we ordered the boAt PB20 EnergyShroom power bank and now going to share my experience with you.
In the Box:
1 x EnergyShroom PB20
1 x MicroUSB Cable
1 X User Manual
1 x Warranty Card
Features:
20,000mAh total capacity [Rated capacity – 13,500mAh]
Have both the MicroUSB and Type-C input ports
Have two output ports
Built-in 9 layer IC protection from short circuit, overcharge, and over-discharge
Intelligent I/O control and LED indicator
Two-way rapid charge support
Pass-through charging support
Design & Built quality:
The boAt PB20 is coming in a usual rectangular shape with around 13cm height, 6cm width, and 2.5cm thickness. The main body is made up of metal and the two ends have plastic material. There are three colour variants – Carbon Black, Martian Red, and Midnight Blue. I am reviewing the Midnight Blue variant which looks glossy but actually has matt finish. The overall weight is around 430g.
Altogether, the design is a bit thicker with comparison to other 20,000mAh power banks available in the market. Though, the grip you will get is ok.
On the body, a big boAt logo is visible in white colour. At the bottom of the exact opposite surface, a QR code and another small boAt logo are printed along with the website and model name. At the top plastic-build surface, four I/O ports are placed. The Type-C port and the MicroUSB port are at the first-row side by side, the USB ports are there in just under those two. Besides these ports, four LED indicators and a power button are fitted.
Working description and capacity:
The capacity of this boAt BP20 is 20,000mAh with the 10W charging output facility. Theoretically, this power bank should charge a 4,000mAh battery at least 3 times.
While charging the power bank, it took me nearly 5.5 hours. I used a 10W charger in this process. This reading nearly matches with the official data. But while charging my phone with this power bank, it takes a longer time. I have another power bank with the same output. In comparison to that, this service is very disappointing to me. I’m attaching one proof where my phone is showing it will take around 6 hours to charge the rest of 61% and my phone’s battery capacity is 3060mAh.
Both the Type-C port and MicroUSB ports are only input ports. If you have a USB-C to USB-C cable and planning to take that while travelling, with the PB20, then don’t go further. After connecting your device with any of the output ports, you need to press the power button to start the charging process. Each of the four LEDs is representing a 25% charge of the battery.
One catchy feature of this PB20 is the Pass-Through Charging. For this, you can charge the power bank while charging other devices from it.
Problems:
While charging the power bank, the process stops 3 to 4 times. Before being fully charged all the LEDs go off. When I unplug the cable and connect back only two LEDs at two ends started blinking. I also tried to discharge it at that very moment, but that didn’t make it start either. This condition remains for around 5 minutes. After that, all comes back to normal.
Pros & Cons:
Pros
Cons
Huge Battery Capacity
Thicker body
Having both the Type-C and MicroUSB Ports
Slow charging & discharging with comparison to other power banks with same feature and capacity
Two Output ports
Charging stops multiple times for no reason
Pass-Through feature
Proper safety measures
Verdict:
During the offer, this boAt PB20 power bank was available at Rs.1,099 on the e-commerce platform Amazon. Post offer the price has become Rs.1,999. There are so many options that are available with similar specs under this price range. But if you take the safety measures very seriously more than it requires and agreed to pay more than 1K then you can happily go for it. There is an 18W I/O variant (PB18) available with a higher price tag. As I didn’t try that, will not recommend you. If you wish, you are free to order. All the variants are currently available on Amazon. I’m providing all of those links down below.
In the coming year 2021, Intel is going to strike the market with its first-ever discrete gaming graphics cards. Yes, you have heard correct as this discrete gaming graphics card is based on the Xe GPU architecture and it is named Intel Xe-HPG. It will feature HW Accelerated Ray-Tracing, GDDR6 and Massive Amounts of Cores on 10nm Process.
The knowledge originates from the Videocardz website, which has informed that Intel plans to launch its first-ever line of discrete graphics cards specifically for the game lovers. Intel has yet not confirmed the specifications of the GPU, but it stated that it features the GDDR6 memory subsystem to improve the performance per dollar ratio. The Xe-HP series will feature HBM memory.
It was leaked that the Intel’s gaming graphics card lineup will be powered by the Xe-HPG GPU. It belongs to the Xe micro-architecture family. It comes between the Xe-LP and Xe-HP and is targeted primarily for the gaming audiences. The variants are-
The Xe-HPG 1-Tile GPU is suspected to use a single tile and appropriating that a single tile consists of 512 EUs then we are resembling up to 4096 cores on the flagship chip. Its FP32 Performance is likely to be 10.6 TFLOPs with a speed of 1.3 GHz and 150W power consumption.
The Xe-HPG 2-Tile GPU will use double tiles and this variant will feature 1024 EUs with estimated cores up to 4096 cores on the flagship chip. Its FP32 Performance is likely to be 21.2 TFLOPs with a speed of 1.3 GHz and 300W power consumption
The Xe-HPG 4-Tile GPU will use quadruple tiles and this variant will feature 2048 EUs with estimated cores up to 16384 cores on the flagship chip. Its FP32 Performance is likely to be 42.3 TFLOPs with a speed of 1.3 GHz and 400/500W power consumption.
Note, Intel can opt for a higher EU count on its Xe-HPG gaming-specific GPUs but it will be a mystery until the final specifications are disclosed.
By stepping into the market and to give a neck to neck competition to Nvidia and AMD, Intel has taken a very wise decision to shape the future of graphics cards and gaming technologies. It’s a good strategy by Intel to attract more customers. The price segment of this product may or may not be greater than Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 3080 Ti as it all depends on the marketing strategy of Intel but you can expect graphics performance on-par with Nvidia and AMD graphics card.
