OnePlus Smart TV (2020) will be slimmer than OnePlus 8 series, says Pete Lau

Pete Lau, co-founder, and CEO of OnePlus revealed in an interview that their upcoming smart TV will be much thinner than its current OnePlus 8 series. He mentioned that the upcoming OnePlus TV featured a 6.9mm ultra-thin body which turns out to be thinner than the OnePlus 8 series smartphones. He also added “50 percent deeper bass.” It is now official that OnePlus will launch the new series of Smart TV on July 2 and will be available via Amazon. Previously we have also heard from the officials that this is going to be an affordable smart TV series and may start from less than Rs. 20,000.

Pete Lau told Android Central that the upcoming budget-friendly smart TV will have 95% screen to body ratio and he also added that the speakers had an innovative acoustic arrangement where they were rotated by 90 degrees, which allowed the developers to add two large full-sized speakers in the TV resulting in a 50% deeper bass.

“Creating the unique carbon fiber back for the new OnePlus TVs is a great example of the attention we give to little details that make up a whole, ensuring premium quality,” the OnePlus CEO told Android Central. This clearly means that the company is trying to some previous designs on the new models as well in order to keep the feel intact.

The upcoming smart TV is reported to come in two different sizes 32-inches and 43-inches. Previously we came across some reports that claimed that these televisions may feature “innovative Gamma Engine” and 93 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. But the CEO has not mentioned any particular feature about this device. These TVs will support Cinematic Display and Dolby Vision, and has preloaded Netflix app.

Flipkart App now supports three more Indian Languages

E-commerce giant Flipkart’s mobile application was on English at the beginning. Later on, they added Hindi to expand the availability to more Indian hands. Now, you can also find three more Indian Languages along with English and Hindi with the Flipkart app. Those languages are Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.

The vision behind this step was to “make online commerce more inclusive and accessible.” In Flipkart’s words, they had to translate over 5.4 million words including the specifications, banners, and the payment section too. So many meetings and interactions were made to gather information and implement the language patterns.

Sanjita Chanu will finally get her 2018 Arjuna Award after being cleared of doping charges

Two-time Commonwealth Games gold medal-winning weightlifter Sanjita Chanu will finally receive the prestigious Arjuna Award, which she was supposed to get in 2018.

The 26-year-old had won back-to-back gold medals in the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games from the 53kg and 48kg categories respectively. She’d applied for the Arjuna Award recognition in 2016 and 2017, but it was ignored on both occasions.

chanu Sanjita Chanu will finally get her 2018 Arjuna Award after being cleared of doping charges

A sports ministry source confirmed that Chanu will be conferred with the Arjuna award as per a 2018 Delhi High Court order, which instructed the selection committee to consider her and maintain the decision in a sealed cover to be disclosed only if she was cleared of the doping charges.

The ministry source told: “Sanjita (Chanu) is absolved of all the doping charges by the international federation, so we will have to abide by the Delhi High Court order and consider her for the Arjuna award,”

Previously, Chanu had filed a writ petition before the Delhi HC challenging the choice to exclude her from the list of those recommended for the 2017 Arjuna Awards. As the case was being heard, she tested positive for a banned substance in May 2018.

However, the High Court, in its arrangement in August that year, instructed the selection committee to consider her for the award and keep its own decision as a secret, waiting for the result of her appeal against dope charges.

The International Weightlifting Federation dropped the doping charge against Chanu because of non-conformities, in the handling of her sample last month. She was notified of the final verdict of the IWF via an email, signed by the world body’s legal counsel Lilla Sagi. She has always said that she didn’t take any banned substance.

Chanu now plans to seek compensation from the IWF for the trauma, she endured. The IWF cleared her based on a recommendation from the World Anti Doping Agency(WADA), following that the national federation wrote to the Ministry of Sports to adhere to the High Court order. 

Indian Weightlifting Federation Secretary-General also confirmed that Sanjita will receive the 2018 Arjuna Award. He said: “It’s confirmed, Sanjita will get her 2018 Arjuna award.”
