Recently Nubia has changed its brand logo and showcased a new logo, now after a day or two the company has officially announced the launch of another smartphone which they are calling Nubia Play 5G. The company is holding the launch on April 21.
This is totally a new device that is not even still spotted in Geekbench. Yesterday the gaming brand- Nubia has made the Nubia Red Magic 3 globally available starting from $579/€579/£539/₹44,500(approximately).
The above poster has been shared by the official Nubia account in Weibo. The poster is in Chinese and we can only see the name which is mentioned in English and the date of launch 4/21, which means April 21. The Chinese words are “have fun” which we get after translating and seems to be like focusing on young people around.
We still don’t know if this is a gaming device or not but we can guess that it is more likely to be a mid-range device with 5G connectivity just like the Nubia M2. So, it is better to wait until some more news surfaces, and we will keep you updated with the latest news as well.
The Vivo sub-brand iQOO teased the launch of Neo 3 on April 23 with its three main features. The company has started teasing at an interval to keep the hype intact.
In this video, the company has showcased that how fast the UFS 3.1 storage system becomes when paired with the Snapdragon 865 chipset.
The whole video is based on an experiment that focuses on the speed of the iQOO Neo 3. Here they have set up a tesla and after switching on the tesla gets on and due to that the current plasmas which started spreading and the moment one of that voltage stream touches a robotic antenna, on the other hand, a robotic hand touches an app icon at the same time on the phone’s screen and the app opens in a flash.
Previously the company has teased about its three main features which are – Snapdragon 865 processor, UFS 3.1 fast storage, and an amazing 144Hz display refresh rate.
The company has not shared any other details about the device in this video except the processor, storage and launch date.
Some rumors also say that the Neo 3 will be the cheapest smartphone with 5G connectivity and Snapdragon 865 processor.

Once again, pre-orders start today. OnePlus is yet to announce its India pricing and availability details, but they can be expected to be revealed later this month.
The OnePlus 8 Pro price is set at $899 (roughly Rs. 68,400) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage option, whereas its 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model carries a price tag of $999 (roughly Rs. 76,000). It will be available for purchase starting April 21 in the UK (and other European regions) and April 29 in the US. Pre-orders start today. However, details about its India pricing and availability are yet to be revealed but will be announced later this month. The OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless charger is priced at $69.95 (roughly Rs. 5,300).
After a long wait, finally, the OnePlus 8 series is here. As a bonus, along with the handsets, the OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless doc is also rolled out. Cause, the OnePlus 8 Pro model comes with the wireless charging facility. There was a huge number of requests for the wireless charger.
The wireless charger comes with the power of 30W, as other OnePlus wired chargers have. This power can push the 8 Pro’s battery level to 51% from ground in just 30 minutes. Quite similar, as announced at the launched time.
Coming to the structure. The Warp charge 30 wireless doc has a stand, similar to Google Stand, connected with a non-removable wire behind it. You can only swap the stand while the code will be connected to the socket. Unfortunately, this makes no difference with a wired charger as you can’t move the stand somewhere else while charging.
To control the heat at charging time a built-in fan is added there with the stand. You can hardly hear any noise from it. If the battery heat goes up, this fan will there to take care of. Indirectly, the fan contributes to a longer battery life of OnePlus 8 Pro.
So now, OnePlus has its own wireless charger with 30W of power. The charging speed is great. But non-removable wire of the wrap charger stand disappoints a bit. More improvement expected in the future, for sure.
Instagram owned by Facebook is one of the most popular platforms for personal online streamers. They are continuously trying to make this platform easier for them. As a result, developers recently bring two major changes i.e. update in IGTV and the Browser support for Live videos.
IGTV Updates:
Instagram added a “Discover” tab at the bottom of the IGTV app. This tab will help people to get more relevant, popular, as well as new content. Previously the IGTV contents turned into a freezeframe while sharing in Stories. But after the update, 15 seconds of the content will play. This change is giving the creators a chance to get more views.
Browser Support for Live Videos:
Live broadcasts on Instagram can be watched only from the App. But now, Instagram gives the opportunity to stream live from the browser. Hope you agree, live on a big screen brings interest more.
Comments, during a live stream, are placed to the bottom-left corner and it becomes fade when goes up. For this, viewers can enjoy the video without any obstacles. But in the web version, the comment box placed to the right of the video window.
Two tech giants are merging hands with each other for a common cause to use their technology to fight against this deadly Coronvirus pandemic, now spread across the globe. To stop COVID-19, Google and Apple will begin rolling out the APIs of their new tool for Android and iOS apps, starting mid-May.
They are doing this joint effort to enable the use of Bluetooth technology to help governments and health agencies reduce the spread of the virus, with user privacy and security central to the design.
Apple will make the feature available to all iOS 13 devices and Google will update Google Play Services with the new software on all Android devices running 6.0 Marshmallow and above.
The first phase, which starts from May, of this joint venture, includes the use of contact tracing APIs, which will be made available to verified public health authorities to be incorporated into their official COVID-19 apps.
Then in the next phase, in the coming months, Apple and Google will work to enable a broader Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform by building this functionality into the underlying platforms. This will allow more individuals to participate, if they choose to opt in, as well as enable interaction with a broader ecosystem of apps and government health authorities.
Using Bluetooth, the technology will transmit anonymous and randomized IDs over short ranges to determine whether the user has been in close contact with anyone infected with the COVID-19 virus, by detecting persons who already tested positive for the virus. If the system detects any such device in close proximity, then the user is notified to take preventive measures.
Obviously, this raises privacy concerns, but Google and Apple have assured that they are taking all possible precautions to prevent misuse of the new system by restricting it only to authorized public health organizations in different countries. Also the data will be decentralized, making it difficult for governments to conduct surveillance.
After much speculation about the upcoming TWS earphones from Redmi, the Xiaomi sub-brand has today launched the Redmi AirDots S in China.
The Redmi AirDots S looks almost identical to the original AirDots with the same design and even the color remains the same plain and low-profile black, but it packs some but has some serious internal upgrades.
The best part is that the new earbuds give better pairing as Redmi has shredded off their old master-slave connection while the AirDots S actually connect both the earbuds to your phone to give you better sound experience.
The right earbud connects to your phone first and then the left earbud connects to the right earbud, also you can still use either of the earbuds in mono-mode and it automatically switches to stereo once you put the second earbud in your ear.
The Redmi AirDots S earbuds now use superior Bluetooth 5.0 technology, which according to the company, gives double the data transmission rate than the original AirDots. The connection is said to faster than before as well as even more stable.
Also, there’s a new mode called ultra-low latency mode, which comes handy during gaming, and can easily be activated by triple-pressing the button on the earbud.
The new TWS earbuds by Redmi features 7.2mm drivers and a DSP for smart noise reduction for smart noise cancellation during calls. The battery life, on the other hand, is still touted to be 4 hours and can be extended up to 12 hours with the case.
Redmi AirDots S also has support for Voice Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, and XiaoAI, all you have to do is double-tap the button on the earbud. Along with having a microphone for calls, you can reject calls with a long-press for about 1 second and answer calls/pause and play music with a single tap.
Like the battery life, Xiaomi has retained the previous price of ￥99.9 (around ₹1,100) and comes with small, medium, and large earplugs. Even though the product page has been listed on Mi.com already but there’s no purchase option as yet.
Official Twitter handle of Sony Spain has replied to a tweet by saying that the Sony Xperia 1 II will come by end of this month where someone asked when the Sony Xperia 1 II will go on sale. Previously we have discussed a device Xperia 5 II which is rumored to be the smallest 5G device in the World, but we are not sure of that.
Sony Xperia 1 II smartphone runs on Android v10 (Q) operating system. The phone is powered by Octa core (2.84 GHz, Single core, Kryo 585 + 2.42 GHz, Tri core, Kryo 585 + 1.8 GHz, Quad core, Kryo 585) processor. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Chipset.

It’s no longer secret about Barcelona’s pursuit for the young Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez. We have heard a lot of rumours till now about this transfer and this is making headlines in Italy on Tuesday, with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The newspaper reports that Inter are asking Barcelona to include Antoine Griezmann as part of the deal to bring Lautaro Martinez to Camp Nou which is really surprising.
It was before speculated that Inter was interested in midfielders like Rakitic and Vidal, then rumours floated that they want Dembele in their side, and reports also came out that they only want cash deal without any players.
Now they seem interested in the Frenchman who is eager to stay at Barcelona wearing the number 7 jersey which he always did before he landed Barcelona. The Blaugranas are firm on the fact that they won’t pay the full €111 million for Martinez but want to include a player in the deal.
Though Griezmann has spent only a season at Barca scoring 14 goals in all competitions, he is rumoured to be thought as a ‘burden’ already. There are multiple rumours of him staying at the club and even being included in the Neymar deal which Barca are also pursuing parallelly.
In another article La Gazzetta they have talked regarding the move for Griezmann on Tuesday. They have clarified that even though the Frenchman does not give the same amount of goals as Lautaro but may offer “more chances for Lukaku and more unpredictability.”
The report also justifies that Inter may find it difficult to stop Lautaro moving to Barca to play alongside Lionel Messi this season. So to replace him, Griezmann might be the best solution to go for.

A 10-core Intel Core i9-10900F desktop processor is on the racks for Intel in the coming future. It has been spotted as part of an HP system on Geekbench with some impressive single-core scores as expected.
Unfortunately, the upcoming Comet Lake chip lagged behind the AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS in an Asus Zephyrus G14 laptop in the multi-core benchmarks.
The Intel Core i9-10900F was tested on Geekbench 4.4 and did manage a single-core score of 5,747 points and a healthy multi-core score of 29,363 points. With all 10 cores and 20 threads, and a TDP of 65 W the desktop CPU seems promising especially in the form of multi-core performance.
Geekbench 4 Intel Core i9-10900F @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 165 Stepping 5https://t.co/DYC1KcFrem
Immediately this was pointed out after the Intel Core i9-10900F’s result was shared, that Comet Lake desktop CPU still falls behind the AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS APU. Even though the fact remains, that both of the chips are not direct competitors, but it does demonstrate the performance of this 8 core Ryzen 4000 chip.
The Ryzen 9 4900HS on an Asus Zephyrus G14 has managed to grab a single-core score of 5,372 points and a multi-core score of 30,230 points. The interesting thing to be noted is that the Comet lake chip works on higher 65W TDP while the AMD APU works on just 35W TDP.
The Intel CPU has 2 extra cores and threads along with a higher single frequency that can easily be pushed as this is a desktop CPU, so fortune naturally favours the i9-10900F. Apart from the single-core dominance which is quite natural, it’s great to see a mobile APU beating a top-of-line next-gen Intel CPU operating on a laptop.
The absence of those 2 cores and threads along with timid boost frequencies makes the AMD chips efficient as well. Its exciting to see AMD has made such progress on the mobile front as well, and the fact remains that in the price/performance ratio no one can beat the team Red.
The Intel Core i9-10900F will likely be priced a bit lower than the regular Intel Core i9-10900, which has been priced at CAD$679 (US$487). The absence of the iGPU reduces the prices of the F-series CPUs but things aren’t going well for team Blue as the semiconductor market has been hit brutally due to the pandemic.
On top of that, AMD’s upcoming Zen 3 Vermeer desktop processors are said to give 15% IPC improvement over last-gen and are scheduled to be launched this September, so if they won’t price these CPUs aggressively they might be losing more and more shares to AMD in the days to come.
