Oppo India tweeted the upcoming launch of the Oppo F17 Pro. In the month of January Oppo had launched the Oppo F15 in India and almost after seven month the company is back with its successor. A few days ago we reported that a new oppo smartphone will launch in India pretty soon, and as we expected the company is already talking about Oppo F17 Pro smartphone.
Recently Oppo has shared a YouTube video showing the overall design and colour options of the smartphone. The phone can be seen in the video in all six different colour options. Now let’s talk about the design of the smartphone first.

The phone can be seen in a very sleek design and as revealed by the company the phone is just 7.48mm thick. It has a dual-punch hole camera cut design at the front. As anticipated earlier the phone does have a quad-camera set up in a square layout. The camera specs of Oppo F17 Pro have not been revealed.
The power button is placed on the right side of the phone while the volume rockers and the sim tray is at the left side. The phone has no physical fingerprint scanner at the back so we can expect an in-display fingerprint scanner. The phone will have a Type-C charging port at the bottom and a headphone jack.
Oppo F17 Pro targets the youth of India and might be priced around Rs.25,000 ($335/€280) segment in 2020. As per our source, the phone will launch in early September. A few days ago, OPPO PEAM00 was spotted on the TENAA website and some key specs of the device have been revealed. The listing has been spotted by Mukul Sharma, he has also shared two images of the device.
There’s a lot of hype going over NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 3000 series or “Ampere” GPUs and as its launch approaches, more updates do we get overtime. Obviously, the naming scheme of NVIDIA seemed to be in doubts as there are multiple reports that this time the name of their flagship gaming GPU could be RTX 3090 but these leaks were not convincing.
Until now, as Videocardz has brought to the attention, originally spotted by @kopite7kimi, a GPU has recently been certified by National Radio Research Agency in South Korea (RRA) and the model is equipped with a PG133 board. We have heard multiple references of this board that is designed for the upcoming GA102 based graphics cards, on the other hand, the PG132 board will be assigned to Add-in-Board partners (AIBs).
The PG133A seems to be a Founders Edition card the PG133 board design and as Videocardz says, it is not likely to be used by Quadro series. Most probably in its September 1st launch, NVIDIA will unveil its flagship GPUs as in the RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and the speculated RTX 3090 GPUs while the RTX 3060 is rumored to be launching in November this year.
Wccftech is also convinced that the PG133A could be the RTX 3090 Founders Edition (FE). This notion is based is because they had already revealed the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 FE GPUs to feature PG136 boards. However, soon, in over a week now we will get to experience the next-gen graphics cards from NVIDIA based 7nm process with significant improvements over last-gen.
Manchester United has finished 3rd in the league this season. They also played all three semi-finals in FA Cup, League Cup, and UEFA Europa League. But unfortunately lost all of them and has endured a trophyless season.
But there are so many signs of improvement this season. Their attacking trio of Rashford-Martial-Greenwood has played so well. They played some quality football this season after Bruno Fernandes joined in January. This was lacking in them in the last couple of seasons.
United’s defence sometimes had faced so much criticism. Though the stats are saying something else. United’s defence has one of the best defensive stats in all over Europe. Manchester United conceded the least open play goals (21) in the Premier League this season.
United signed English defender Harry Maguire from Leicester City for £80M. Later he became the captain of the club in January after Ashley Young left the club for Inter Milan. Harry Maguire is the second-highest player to win areal duels (after Van Dijk).
Personal stats of all the defenders are also pretty good. Right Back Aaron Wan-Bissaka was so solid defensively. He has the most number of successful tackles in the league.
Victor Lindelof is the only defender in the league who was not dribbled past for a single time. Luke Shaw’s presence in both defence and attacks was truly appreciable. His absence clearly felt at the end of the season when he was not available because of injury.
David De Gea has also kept 13 clean sheets in the league which makes him 5th best goalkeeper in the league.
It was not so fair to bash the United defence. But they need some improvements as they conceded so many times for their own mistakes, which is not at all acceptable at the highest level.

Angus Kai Ho Ng, POCO Global spokesperson, yesterday tweeted with an image saying “POCO <3 Hz” (<3 = Love in emoji) and this is an official hint and thus we can guess that it has something to do with the refresh rate of the display of POCO’s upcoming smartphone.

POCO may include a 64MP primary camera sensor and a 33W fast charging in this device.
The tipster has also claimed that this phone will launch by this month, and this means we can expect this device to launch in August.
Spotted by famous tipster Mukul Sharma, a POCO device received TKDN Certification. The model number of the smartphone is noted as M2007J20CG. The brand name on the certifications is mentioned as POCO and this can be anticipated as the nearing launch of the smartphone.

Since the debut of BlackBerry in the market in the year of 1984, it started its growth as a reputed company after 2001. BlackBerry was known for its high feature and high price phones and gadgets. BlackBerry Pearl 8100—the first BlackBerry phone to include multimedia features like a camera. That model from BlackBerry made a huge impact on the market of mobiles.
But after 2011 competition became tougher and tougher with Android phones and Apple iPhones. Unfortunately, BlackBerry was not up to the mark to stay in that competition. People switched over their interests in Android phones and iPhones. from that time to current years BlackBerry gadgets just wiped out from the technical market.
Now they are all set to make a comeback into the market with a 5G Phone With Physical Keyboard technology. The release date is expected to be in 2021. There is a Texas startup named OnwardMobility that has experience in building security solutions for its government and customers. This OnwardMobility will make this new BlackBerry phone with a physical keyboard. It is set to launch its first 5G BlackBerry model which will be based on Android 10. This phone will make its debut in North America and Europe. But it is not sure when this phone will be available in other regions or markets in the world.
This phone is snitched to be a “feature-rich 5G-ready” model with features to enhance productivity. It is mainly for those customers who demand security alongside smart features.
“Enterprise professionals are eager to secure 5G devices that enable productivity, without sacrificing the user experience,” said Peter Franklin, CEO of OnwardMobility. “BlackBerry smartphones are known for protecting communications, privacy, and data.”
Though there is no disclosure till now regarding the details of the specifications of this new phone. However, Franklin in an interview said that it would come with a redesigned “clean-sheet keyboard.” In case of the pricing of that phone, there is nothing to worry about. Pricing will be very much competitive. You can expect a mid-range budget for this phone. It will be not like something like Samsung S20 or the upcoming iPhone 12 in case of the pricing.
“We are excited that customers will experience the enterprise and government level security and mobile productivity the new BlackBerry 5G smartphone will offer,” said John Chen, Executive Chairman and CEO, BlackBerry, in a statement.
It is not the first time BlackBerry is making a comeback into the market. In the earlier days of 2016, it had a tough competition with Android models. It also made a partnershipwith Optiemus Infracom in February 2017 to produce and sell Android smartphones in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
“With 5G quickly coming to market, and the acceleration it will cause in upgrading mobile devices and deploying productivity-enhancing apps, deploying proven and highly secure products like the BlackBerry 5G devices in enterprises, government, and regulated industries like finance or legal, is mission-critical,” said analyst Jack Gold, President and Principal Analyst of J. Gold Associates.
As 5G is the new future of network services, every company wants to boost up it’s selling with 5G models. So we can expect BlackBerry will make an ultimate impact on the market in the upcoming years.
