Google introduces a new feature to its Phone app keeping eyes on the frauds and scams happening over the calls. The feature is called ‘Verified Calls’. Being with the previous features of Google Phone i.e. call screening and spam detection, verified calls will help users to provide information about the caller.
The Google Support page says the new feature allows users to know more about the incoming calls. Before going further, let you know, this feature is only for the business calls. If the caller is a verified one, you, as a receiver, will get the business name along with their logo, and the reason they are calling for on your mobile screen.
To get verified, a business has to go through the approval procedure. Only after that, its calls will be displayed as Verified to the receiver. A verified business needs to send the call information to a source Google server that will be sent to the Google Phone app.
When the actual call connects, the Phone app cross-checks the caller’s details with its list and displays the result on your screen. If it’s positive, you will get a Verified indication with the business name, logo, and calling purpose. Ones a call received, a few minutes later, the information will be deleted from the Google Server.
The feature, on the Google Phone App, will be activated by default. But there will be a deactivation option too so that you can disable it by default.
Recently, Vu launched its new TV series, the Vu Cinema Smart TVs which is another budget-oriented Smart TV series on Flipkart. There are two variants of the Smart TV, 32-inch HD Smart TV and 43-inch FHD Smart TV and both of them got sold out within 24 hours of its availability. Vu has steadily been progressing in the Indian TV market with its wide range of quality Smart TVs, thanks to the rise in demand for Smart TVs these days.
Obviously, people are opting for Android TV these days which has led many of the smartphone brands making Smart TVs at a competitive price point. But, obviously, customer service and quality are what customers demand more and being a Smart TV brand Vu is just on the right track. When anti-Chinese sentiments are growing people, are opting more for Chinese alternatives like Samsung and Vu Smart TVs.
The key offerings that this new Vu Cinema Smart TVs offer is 40W front-facing soundbars, Android TV OS, 64-bit quad-core processor and a compact Smart remote with Voice Assistant support. Also, the prolonged lockdown period has raised the demands among customers who need good TVs, presumably Smart TVs right from their homes which is also another reason which has fired the online sales of these Smart TVs as well.
Flipkart and Vu Televisions Launched the Vu Cinema Smart TVs starting at just Rs. 12,999 with a wider reach by supplying to over 10,000 pin codes. However, the prices of these Smart TVs have increased, the 32-inch model which was priced at Rs. 12,999 now costs Rs. 13,499 and while the 43-inch model that was priced at Rs. 21,999 is now available for Rs. 22,499.
The Chairman and CEO of Vu Televisions, Devita Saraf said, “The Vu Cinema TV is the most top-of-the-line smart TV in the market and users have given an all-time high rating of 4.7/5 to this product range. In spite of our prices being 8%-10% more expensive than other premium TV brands, we were surprised to see overwhelming sales for this product range. This can be attributed to customers seeing our products as value for money due to better quality and service along with easy to use 4K type features. We pioneered Smart TVs in May 2016 and were the first to launch Android TVs in March 2018. We have sold over 15 lakh Smart TVs until now and our Vu Cinema TV is the most feature-packed and highest quality smart TV in the country.”
Vu has a wide range of Smart TVs from entry-level to all the way up to premium ones but their main focus is on budget Smart TVs and 4K Smart TVs. According to Hindustan Times, Indian consumers are willing to pay a premium to brands, which can give direct consumer service and durability as opposed to low-cost TVs that have been flooding the market in the past few years.
It’s only been a few years for the brand entered the Indian market and has become the fastest-selling TV brand on Amazon and Flipkart in June 2020. Also, it’s great to such non-Chinese TV brand flourishing in the Indian soil and more such Indian brands need to come up with competitive pricing to challenge other Chinese brands to reduce the dependency in the years to come.
Arjen Robben is known for his Bayern Munich days, his trademark run down the right-wing and then cutting inside to curve the ball into the net with his magical left foot. He formed a terrific partnership with Franck Ribery and the duo was called ‘Robbery’.
Robben made his debut as a 16-year-old in 2000 for FC Groningen. It is his boyhood club. The winger also played for Chelsea, PSV Eindhoven and Real Madrid, winning 12 league titles and earning 96 caps for the Netherlands including the 2010 World Cup final in Johannesburg.
He announced his retirement last season after ten trophy-laden seasons with Bayern Munich. After 12 months out of the football field, he has now decided to come out of retirement to join his boyhood club, FC Groningen.
Arjen Robben said in a clip: “Dear football friends and FC Groningen fans. I was 12 years old when I started playing in FC Groningen’s youth academy. I made my home debut against Feyenoord when I was 16. After two years I made a transfer to PSV Eindhoven.”
“After a wonderful adventure of 18 years, we’re coming home. We’re coming home in this difficult time of crisis, one that also hits FC Groningen. It’s great to see how everyone supporting the club, I’ve supported the club as well. It made me think about what else I could do for our club.”
“These past few weeks I’ve had many conversations with club staff and maybe more than anything I’ve listen to the call of our supporters. A comeback as an FC Groningen player, I started to play with this idea and now I’ve made it my mission! I want to make my comeback as a football player, a player of FC Groningen.”
Groningen technical director Mark-Jan Fledderus told a news conference on Sunday after Robben signed a one-year contract with the club: “We first went to Munich to speak to him about coming to play for us, just days after he retired in May last year. That didn’t happen. But we kept up contact and then arranged secretly with his wife to travel down and talk to him again last month.”
Robben further said: “The difference in the standard between Bayern and Groningen is naturally a lot different but I’m here to help the club. You do that by showing the right attitude. I don’t have anything to lose and I’m going into the challenge with a positive attitude and to try and make the best of it. I haven’t set any goals, it could be over in a month or it could last two years.”
Robben was happy that his wife Bernadien was in favour of his comeback. He said: “It made the decision a lot easier knowing I had the support of my family. Retiring was the toughest decision of my career, maybe a little forced upon me with all the injuries.”
“We decided to stay a year in Munich to enjoy the city and get used to the idea of not playing football. I didn’t watch much for about six months and really enjoyed doing other things. But eventually, the sports lover in you start to nag and I had been training to run the Rotterdam Marathon before the coronavirus crisis.”

Huawei has been facing a hard time since the prolonged period of US trade ban and recently, one more year the Chinese smartphone giant will be unable to do trade with US companies including Google. Also, the Chip designer cannot manufacture its own smartphone chips via TSMC as well, making it even more crippled ever than before.
Huawei is a huge customer for TSMC and a trade ban naturally affects the flow of business but reports say that a lot of companies have taken the initiative to replace Huawei’s chip orders. Among the prominent companies replacing Huawei orders are MediaTek, that will be aiming to use 5nm wafers for its upcoming SoCs.

According to another report, MediaTek has approached TSMC in 3 waves, since the requirement for 5G wafer is high at this time. More than 20,000 wafers per month have been added, which includes 7nm and 12nm processes. In addition to them, TSMC’s latest 5nm process is being queued up as well by a lot of companies like Apple, Qualcomm and others.
This may be one of the crucial areas where MediaTek matches in following the loss of Huawei HiSilicon orders. The news has not officially been announced by either MediaTek or TSMC, but from within their supply chain. Seemingly, TSMC had shut down its 5nm plant that was originally reserved for HiSilicon. But now TSMC has split the production to major names such as Apple, Supermicro, and Qualcomm.
Meditek’s new Dimensity chips are very capable to challenge Qualcomm’s flagship and mid-range SoCs that supports 5G as well. So, MediaTek is to raise the production of its Dimensity 800 and Dimensity 600 series and ultimately accelerating its 5nm chip production for next-gen flagship SoCs.
MediaTek Dimensity 820 5G chipset
Now, Huawei, on the other hand, relies on MediaTek for its chips to use on their smartphones and it seems that Huawei’s orders for the MediaTek chips have increased by a whopping 300% this year. So, the Taiwan silicon manufacturer has a great opportunity not only make great chips ahead but also grab more orders to counter its primary competitor Qualcomm.
Although Huawei appears to be in a difficult situation, the ban and the following changes in production capacity are indications of the competitive sector, Huawei is search of alternatives and local sources to make or use chips in their next smartphones.
5G enabled smartphones are the standard flagships these days and it will interesting to see how the second-largest smartphone manufacturer gets to meet its 5G customer demands and use the upcoming 5nm process on next-gen flagship smartphones.
Max J is one of the most renowned tipsters who gave us an idea about a truly wireless earphone from OnePlus that is in development. He had shared this news a few weeks ago, and recently he has shared another interesting news related to this TWS earphone. he had shared an image in his official twitter account that shows the schematic diagram of the OnePlus TWS earphone along with its name. The upcoming rumored TWS from OnePlus will be named “OnePlus Buds”.
OnePlus Buds had recently been in talks and yesterday Max.J a famous tipster had tweeted an image which shows the black colour of the OnePlus Buds. He showed the design earlier in the form of an outline schematic diagram, but now he has shown the black colour version, but in mockup version.
The previous design that Max.J showed was more like the Apple Airpods but this time with the black colour version it seems the design is reminiscent of the current OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 with the concentric brushed aluminum back.
There is no news about the launch of the same. We anticipate that these buds will be launched with the OnePlus Z/Lite in the month of July. BUt as there is no concrete information about the launch we have to proceed with the assumption that the launch is nearing soon.
South Korean company Samsung is still selling the Galaxy Fold globally and some recent reports claim that the company is preparing to launch the Lite version of the Galaxy Fold next year, 2021. South Korean sources claim that this device will not have to compare specs like the vanilla version but will come with a much more affordable price range than the previous one. The new phone will go for around KRW1.32 million, which is about $1,100 or €975.
Previous reports indicate that the Galaxy Fold Lite will be launched on August 5. The publication claims the Samsung Galaxy Fold Lite was supposed to be priced at KRW 1 million (roughly Rs. 62,800), which would make it quite a bit cheaper than the current Galaxy Fold that comes in at Rs. 1.62 lakh as per Amazon. But there is no particular news about the pricing of the new Fold Lite, but according to the reports, the price is almost Rs.1 lakh lesser than the original vanilla version.
The recent report shows an image that visualizes the upcoming phone. The phone in the image is unfolded that has a punch hole camera on the top right corner for selfies and video calling. There is not much information about the specifications of the phone. In addition to this several leaksters also say the bezels of the new Fold phone will be thinner.
It is expected that the smartphone can be launched in an online Samsung Unpacked event next year but there is no such concrete news of the launch. But it is expected that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Fold 2, Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and the Galaxy Note 20, among other devices at the event this year. The delay in the launch of the Fold Lite is due to the COVID-19 situation and thus the launch is pushed back to next year.
