This kit has been received by a big NO by the fans. Adidas claims it to be a melted Zebra design but it looks horrible and has been showered with negative comments right from the launch.
According to some tipsters, Realme is going to introduce the multi-user support in Android 10 based on Realme UI. Though the company has already introduced this feature in the Realme X50 5G, now Realme is looking to add this feature in its all Android 10 based smartphones. The new Realme UI software brought an experience that is nearby to a stock Android experience. But right now, the company hasn’t introduced anything like multi-user support, but soon we’ll gonna see it.
Now, let’s talk about this feature. The company has claimed that they will add this feature for compatible Realme handsets soon. Multi-user support is basically a technology by which more than one user can use a single handset by the existing profile of that user. It is just like a laptop or desktop, where we can add multiple profiles as multiple users. That’s why those users can use the same device. Multiple users can set their unique wallpapers, data, and applications. No storage confusion will be there. Every user will get the same amount of space.
The leak suggests that only those users can get this feature, whose Realme handsets are running on Realme UI-based on Android 10. There is no confirmed news about the date, on which this feature will roll out commercially. Realme is yet to announce this in the upcoming days. But the leaked screenshots also indicate that a rollout may not be too far. Users can access this feature in the Settings -> Users and accounts -> Multi-user. The tipsters also noted that users can easily switch their accounts very easily from the notification center.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is the front runner to qualify for the playoffs. One of the reasons why that is expected, is the hard-hitting West Indian all-rounder, Andre Russell.
Russell has been a staple for KKR throughout the franchise’s history. He is known for his brutal and fearless batting style. Russell can bowl effectively both during powerplay and death overs. And not to forget his athletic fielding.
The Knight Riders have made significant changes in their coaching panel with former KKR player, Brendan McCullum as the head coach. The franchise has also added T20 veteran David Hussey as a mentor and Kyle Mills as bowling coach. McCullum is known both for his aggressive batting and style of captaincy. His dynamic style of captaincy skyrocketed the New Zealand team to the World Cup 2019 finals.

The coaches want to promote Russell at No 3!
David Hussey believes McCullum will use such bold decision making in his coaching style as well. He says both him and McCullum are looking forward to promoting Russell at No 3 in the KKR batting line-up. Hussey claimed this will allow Russell to play more deliveries and if he gets a chance to play around 60 balls, he can even score a double hundred.
“If it benefits the team and helps us win games of cricket, why not? If that means Andre Russell comes in at three and bats 60 balls, he might actually make a double hundred. Anything can happen with Dre Russ,” Hussey said in a news conference.
“[Russel is] A fantastic player, he is probably almost the heartbeat of the team as well. We’ve actually got really a well-balanced team… Anyone can bat in any different position. But if it benefits the team, why not, why can’t he bat up the list.”
Russell showed sublime all-rounded performance last year when he scored 510 runs at an average of 56.66 and also picked up 11 wickets. Hussey also said they have the likes of Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik to play the anchor role.
KKR is also famously known for using spin bowler Sunil Narine as a pinch hitter by promoting him to open. They will start their IPL 2020 campaign against Mumbai Indians on September 23.

Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SIMC) has recently come under fire from the US government. It has been accused of playing a role in Chinese military development.
US regulators are now considering adding the SMIC to its list of foreign buyers that need government permission to acquire US technology or components. SMIC is a Shanghai-based company and a leader in the semiconductor industry. It was built by the ruling Communist Party in an effort to reduce China’s reliance on foreign technology.
However, SMIC has denied such claims and has noted that it had been in “complete shock” since hearing this.
The result of SMIC being blacklisted will not only be devastating for the company but also for its US-based suppliers. Big names like Applied Materials, KLA Corp, and Lam Research will all take a major hit in their export business.
The company in an official statement has said, it is “open to sincere and transparent communication” with Washington to resolve “potential misunderstandings.”
The US-Chinese tariff war erupted in 2018. The result for this was Washington’s complaints about Beijing’s technology ambitions. China has been accused of trying to steal the technology from foreign companies.
Owing to this, the Trump administration is trying to block Chinese access to US technology, as it worries it might be used in the development of weapons. It’s also noted that the US government is worried that the Chinese government is trying to develop competitors for the American industry.
SMIC had previously reported having received “validated end-user status” by the US government. It allowed the Shanghai-based company to export US technology without applying for a license for each shipment.
What’s Next for Semiconductor Giant?
SMIC is the largest semiconductor provider to Chinese companies including Huawei and it also has international clients including Qualcomm.
Via(Business-Standard)
Analysts have claimed that trade on SMIC by the US government could threaten the very existence of the company. Not to mention it will even disrupt china’s Made in China 2025 strategy. However, while a trade blacklist will decrease the overall prospects of SMIC. It is still implied that it might give Beijing’s goal of being less dependant on western technology a fresh boost.
The Chinese mobile industries such as Huawei are developing their own processor chips. But the factories that manufacture the chips, require US technology to do so. And owing to the US regulations on these industries, china’s mobile market has taken a major hit.
The Lionel Messi transfer saga, which went on for weeks has finally ended. Messi decided to leave Barcelona but the board didn’t agree to sell him at any cost and he has now changed his decision to stay in Barcelona.
During the transfer saga, Messi didn’t attend the PCR test and Koeman’s first training session.
But after deciding to stay, Messi arrived for the Barcelona training on Monday for the first time this season.
All the Spanish papers reported Messi’s coming home to Barcelona. SPORT went with a title that says ‘Welcome home, Leo‘ and it’s pretty self-explanatory.
The Argentine star met for half an hour with Koeman, whom he assured maximum involvement.
Mundo Deportivo also reported the same thing. They said that Messi had returned to training but has to train alone due to COVID-19 protocols.
After a tensed period, the Barcelona camp is now relaxed as Messi will be at Camp Nou for at least the next season.
Koeman also seems to have a good project on hand and he is looking to add some reinforcements before the 2020-21 LaLiga season kickstarts on 12th September.
In what has been one of the most heavily rumored transfers of the summer, James Rodriguez is now officially an Evertonian.
The Merseyside club confirmed the news on Monday evening, announcing the addition of their newest star for about £20 million. Here is what the player had to say about his move to England:
A new stage for a new challenge in my career. Happy, eager to start and full of ambition, dedication and commitment.
Una nueva etapa y un nuevo desafío en mi carrera. Feliz, con muchas ganas de empezar, lleno de ilusión y compromiso.@Everton 💙 pic.twitter.com/JmPYoTP4u8
The move sees the Colombian international link up with manager Carlo Ancelotti for the third time in his career. The other two being at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
After being starved for minutes under Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid, the attacking midfielder is now set to be the star at Goodison Park. The move to England could be his last shot at reviving his career in one of the top five leagues in the world. This is because the Colombian is already at the peak of his playing years, at 29.
Ancelotti has managed to get the best out of Rodriguez in both of his previous seasons managing the player and he seems set on another long term project around the 29-year-old. At Real Madrid, James scored and assisted 13 in 29 games under the Italian tactician.
🤝 | James Rodriguez and Carlo Ancelotti: reunited once again.
Everton have signed the playmaker on a two-year deal, with an option for a third. Rodriguez will wear the number 19 shirt for the 2020-21 season, as confirmed by the club themselves on their official Twitter page.
With the signing of former Napoli midfielder Allan, and now James Rodriguez, Everton’s squad look well set for Ancelotti’s first full season at Goodison.
With the level of competition all around, it is hard to predict the outcome of this season for Everton but they do look like a squad which is capable of pushing for Europe. With the likes of James Rodriguez linking up with Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin in the attack, we might finally see the Toffees in the top six after quite a break.
Xbox Series S has just been leaked, gave us a glimpse of Microsoft next-gen console. The console’s design is revealed and also it is priced at $299.
via(Brad Sams)
Windows Central has reported that Microsoft’s Xbox Series S will indeed carry a $299 retail price. The Series S is rumored to pack just 4 teraflops, which is a fraction of what the Series X offers and less than the Xbox One X’s 6 teraflops.
Leaker WalkingCat has published a short video that shows the same design of Xbox Series S in relation to Series X:
It shows a white console that looks somewhat similar in design to the Xbox One S. It’s depicted in a vertical orientation, though the rotation of the Xbox logo suggests that may not be the primary configuration. The video also shows that the Xbox Series S is much thinner than Xbox Series X.
Analyst Daniel Ahmad also mentioned the image in his tweets. But he didn’t mention any price details:
If the $299 price is indeed accurate, then it would make the Xbox Series S an affordable and attractive console for anyone who doesn’t think 4K is necessary to enjoy gaming.
The Series S is small enough to fit inside Xbox X and is expected to around as powerful as Xbox One X. There has been no further news regarding the console’s capabilities. Though it is expected to have NVME drives and ray tracing features.
The question though is how the performance will be of Series S. considering the size is leaked to be much smaller and is also budget-friendly. Speculations have been made as to whether Microsoft’s next-gen entry will be able to deliver on its promise of next-gen performance. Xbox Series S is set to be launched on November 10, 2020.
NVIDIA’s new RTX 30-series GPUs have just been announced, we are getting a lot of leaks about the performance of these cards and now we have a pretty solid benchmark that proves the new Ampere based GPU’s supremacy over Turing GPUs. NVIDIA promises huge performance gains over the RTX 20-series GPUs and promised improvements we have never seen before in a generational leap.
Now, that is some kind of positivity for new GPU buyers and a nightmare for old RTX GPU owners. When Jensen Huang told that the new RTX 3070 would be faster than the last year’s flagship RTX 2080 Ti that takes an insane $1200 (almost) to afford at half the prices, I literally was thinking what a pathetic situation a recent RTX 2080 or RTX 2080 Ti owner must be going through.
Well, if you have thought that was just random numbers thrown upon by NVIDIA, then you are mistaken as the new Geekbench leak clearly shows the dominance of the RTX 3080 which should retail at a mouth-watering price of $699, giving almost 25% better performance. Yes, the new flagship GPU will give over 25% better GPU performance than last year’s insanely priced RTX 2080 Ti.
Shared by the prolific tipster @TUM_APISAK, both the GPUs were spotted running on an ASUS motherboard paired with Core i9-10900K and 16GB RAM. In the GeekBench OpenCL test, the RTX 3080 scored a hefty 468948 points while last year flagship scoring 374572 points this is almost a 25% performance difference, proving the new RTX 3080 to be much superior and absolutely worth it even in the real world benchmarks as well.
The new RTX 3080 sports has a complete design overhaul, now with 30 Shader-TFLOPS, 58 RT-FLOPS, and 238 Tensor-TFLOPS, which makes this even more powerful on the hardware front. Also coupled with high-speed GDDR6X memory running at 19Gbps, makes this an ideal 4K gaming GPU and is 2x faster than the original RTX 2080.
NVIDIA’s new optimizations and DLSS 2.0 promises 4K 60 FPS gaming without any frame drops whatsoever which will make this even more popular among gamers who now have a lot of RTX enabled games in the market. As NVIDIA states: the RTX 3080 is the perfect mix of fast performance and cutting-edge capabilities, leading Huang to declare it NVIDIA’s “new flagship GPU.”
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 will be available from September 17th onwards at $699, we will see a lot of third party cards as well.
India – China’s tension is getting bigger and bigger throughout 2020. Regarding some current activities in Ladakh, the Indian Government has banned the most played game in India, that is PUBG Mobile: Nordic Map Livik and PUBG Mobile Lite both. Not only PUBG Mobile, PUBG Mobile Lite, and other 116 Chinese-origin apps and games were banned also in one take.
As we all know about the gigantic popularity of this game in the world, especially in India, PUBG corporation is facing a huge loss regarding the ban. That’s why PUBG Corporation has decided to no longer authorize the PUBG Mobile franchise to Shenzhen-based Tencent Games in India. The company is now thinking to take the total responsibility to re-release the game in India once again, but this time without Tencent. The PUBG Corporation is all set to find a hand-in-hand solution that will allow gamers to once again drop into the battlegrounds while being fully compliant with Indian laws and regulations.
As Tencent is a Chinese publisher and India wants to ban everything which is related to China, the PUBG Corporation does not want to take that risk again, and to recover the massive loss, the Corporation has now decided to no longer authorize the franchise to Tencent Games in the country. The company is exploring several ways to bring back this popular game in India in the near future, which will feature a localized and healthy gameplay environment for its fans.
“Moving forward, PUBG Corporation will take on all publishing responsibilities within the country,” the company said in the statement on its website.
“As the company explores ways to provide its own PUBG experience for India in the near future, it is committed to doing so by sustaining a localized and healthy gameplay environment for its fans.”
