With days, smartphone has become a significant part of our life and in fact is more important than anything for our daily lives. From work to entertainment, smartphones are required for everything and with days it has evolved a lot.
We are getting faster and better smartphones everyday and one of the key performance factor is obviously the storage. With faster storage, performance too increases, over the years, internal storage has become even more fast.
For SD cards, the SD Association has a good news, the SDA is now updating the SD Express specs to the version 8.0. This brings support for the newer and faster PCIe gen 4.0 to both the SD Express and microSD Express formats.
With this, the data transfer speeds have increased up to a whopping 4 gigabytes per second. This is actually double the speed achieved over the last gen PCIe 3.0 X2 which is almost half of what the modern PCIe gen 4 SSDs but also they have 2 more PCIe lanes to achieve such speed.
A transfer speed of up to 4GB/s is huge for a mobile device, with SD8.0, anyone taking a slow-motion video of their surroundings or taking burst photos of an athletic event.
This means users can record 4K and 8K videos, as well as 360-degree videos and playback flawlessly. SD Express also supports ever-evolving gaming systems, allowing people to continue playing video games at faster speeds than ever before.
On the other hand, the microSD Express brings these same advantages to mobile devices, IoT devices, drones and more. Check out sdcard.org for more info.
These days OEMs are not only including their favourite Intel CPUs onto laptops, but also considering the new AMD Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs. Being based on 7nm process, these processors give similar or even better performance than Intel ones at lower price point.
Dell has launched a wide range of laptops recently and to add to that, they have launched the new Inspiron 14 7000 2-in-1 laptops. When compared with the Intel-based Inspiron 13 7000, the AMD powered variants have been shown injustice by the OEM.
The laptop features 14.0-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS LED-Backlit Touch Display along with a sleek and premium design. It comes with an aluminium top cover and palm rest that features diamond-cut edges around the trackpad. This 2-in-1 laptop features active pen compatibility to draw your imagination and creative works.
You get to choose between the 6-core, 6 thread AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and the 8-core, 8 thread AMD Ryzen 7 4700U. This comes paired with a single-channel 8 GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM along with 256 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD or 512 GB SSD options.
Also, there’s a Fingerprint Reader along with HD camera with webcam privacy shutter and a dark grey backlit keyboard which matches with the Sandstorm colour of the 2-in-1 laptop. On the connectivity front, we have Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2×2 (Gig+) as well as Bluetooth 5.0 options.
For the ports, we have 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-C™) port, 1 headset (headphone and microphone combo) port along with an HDMI 1.4b port and an SD-card slot. Dell has included just a 40WHr battery with ExpressCharge support that charges your battery from 0% up to 80% in an hour.
Some features like built-in dual voice assistants – Cortana & Alexa along with Dell Mobile Connect makes this easier for you to experience a seamless automation and productivity. With just 1.55kg weight, this is an ideal portable and powerful 2-in-1 laptop to have.
Coming to the pricing, Dell has priced the Ryzen 5 4500U variant $699.99 while the Ryzen 7 4700U variant will cost you $849.99 which is decent. But, once compared to Intel-powered Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1, which are definitely more expensive, there are some compromises.
There are no 16 GB RAM options, the Ryzen models have a lesser battery, no dual-channel memory support. Dell has obviously made a great productive laptop but still, there are some flaws on AMD variants which they need to obscure, but indeed the Dell Inspiron 14 7000 2-in-1 laptop is an ideal AMD Ryzen 4000 powered 2-in-1 laptop to go for.
Earlier this month, we had some rumours of Xiaomi to be launching new RedmiBook laptops with new AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile APUs. Now with a live leak of a RedmiBook laptop with a Ryzen 7 4700U proves that Xiaomi is in works.
Pointed by the reliable tipster @xiaomishka, earlier this month, Xiaomi will be offering their new RedmiBook laptops in three sizes- 13-inch, 14-inch and 16-inch. Now @_rogame has confirmed this by spotting the laptop on 3DMark.
RedmiBook 13, RedmiBook 14S, and RedmiBook 16
I found two variants : TIMI TM1951 (R5 4500U) & TIMI TM1953 (R7 4700U)
As we see there are two variants in the processor, one with 6-core Ryzen 5 4500U and the other with 8-core Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, it’s confirmed that all of the laptops will feature 16GB RAM along with 512 GB Samsung SSD.
Based on 7nm Zen 2 architecture, these APUs are very powerful both on the CPU and GPU front. Paired with 16 gigs of RAM along with hopefully NVMe SSDs will result in best performance.
As we see the AMD Ryzen 5 model is codenamed TIMI TM1951, on the other hand, the Ryzen 7 model has been codenamed TIMI TM1953. Hopefully by end of this month, Xiaomi will be launching these AMD powered RedmiBook 13, RedmiBook 14S and RedmiBook 16 laptops.
You have been hurt and want to redeem your figure? It is not easy to do so but if you know the right types of combination of exercises along with how many times you have to do it, you will be able to achieve the goal that you have been craving for.
We all know you wonder how Ronaldo got that match fitness and centred your training around it but couldn’t get the job done right? Don’t worry, now if you follow the methods that we will share with you, you will definitely build your physique like that.
“I consider it a tripod of performance – physical, mental and emotional,” says Dan Garner, who has coached UFC champions Ronda Rousey and Michael Bisping, as well as three Super Bowl winners and an Olympic gold medallist, and is now the head coach of the Hockey Training programme, based in Ontario.
“What happens if one leg of a tripod is knocked out? It collapses. In order to determine whether someone is actually ready, they would need to be mentally, emotionally and physically ready. The physical aspect is perhaps the easiest for fans to relate to. Fitness targets, whether they be distances, weights, calorie loss or anything else, are something that lots of us are constantly grappling with.”
“We have benchmarks and training data over several seasons so that we know what each player has got to achieve,” says Collinge in a recent interview. “How fast he needs to sprint, the number of accelerations and decelerations he makes, the distance he covers.
“You also have to break that down into positional analysis. Match fitness is very different if you’re a goalkeeper from a modern-day wing-back. Using GPS data and distances covered, if a player has had a six-week hamstring injury we can tell what we need to prepare them for based on their position.
“We do some change of direction testing, too, because they have to be able to pivot acutely. They have to be able to withstand the force of an opponent and strike a ball. “The rehabilitation period is not cleared until we can match as best as possible the loading of the tissue that will be required for full training and then a 90-minute match.”
Fredericks, who is precisely the type of explosive wing-back that Collinge is referring to, agrees that being ready to play in a game is far more complex than merely having the capacity to run long distances.
“The hard miles in games don’t really tire you out,” he says. “Sprinting up and down isn’t really what we find hard.
But what is ‘match fit’?
Before we jump into the conversation, we should discuss one thing first and that is what is ‘match fit’. Match fit is a method of making yourself emotionally, mentally, and physically stronger. In the athletic world, when one gets hurt or stays out of the area for a long time, they seek this ‘match fit’ training as a part of rehabilitation as well as a fitness program.
But many fitness institutes have adopted the idea from this particular method to help you get in that extreme physique where you will gain a body like them with rigorous training meanwhile retaining the peace of mind that one seeks. The training method of match-fit makes the injured player come into the game. The training method is rigorous and requires their utmost importance and effort.
“The hard stuff is the short bursts of pace, when you’ve got to quickly get tight to someone. Nobody can tell you that you’re match fit unless you’ve been in the scenario where you’re having to struggle in the last 10 minutes and you’ve got to grind out a game.
“That’s when you find out about yourself, not doing runs in training.”
“When placed in front of spectators and a worldwide audience then the anxieties of the player come into play as well,” explains Collinge. “That can affect the tissue tone. It’s all interwoven. The player needs to feel comfortable that he can play a game.”
Fredericks agrees. “Match fitness comes from confidence,” he says.
“Going into the game knowing that you’re at a higher risk of injury or that you might blow up after 60 minutes isn’t ideal. You need to play two or three Under-23 games or training-ground games to get that. It’s unheard of to have a long time out and then go straight into the Premier League.”
What are the methods that will help you achieve the ‘match fit’ body?
The methods that you need to accomplish the goal will not only be easy but will also help you get in shape in a short amount of time with a little yet rigorous method of training.
The first thing that you have to do is running. It doesn’t matter if you are running on a treadmill or ground. You just have to maintain the thing by putting your intense energy there where you have to invest most of it. You have to monitor your heart rate and jog at the rate of 90% power.
After you run at this pace for 4 minutes, you have to jog for 3 minutes by giving not your fullest but your moderate energy to it. Make sure that your heart rate is invested only 60%. Don’t put all your energy while jogging. All of this is only one set and you have to do it for four sets which consist of 28 minutes. You have to do it for two weeks to see the result.
Running at the treadmill while your heart rate is at 75% should be done too. You have to run like this for 15 seconds. And then rest for 15 seconds. Make sure that you cover a great amount of area. This is one set. You have to do it at least 15 times in eight weeks
All these methods will help. You achieve not only physical strength but mental strength too. It will clear your mind and help you achieve the goal that you set out to achieve. Along with all these, you can sprint too. It will help.
All major sporting activities have been halted by the Coronavirus pandemic since March. It took almost 2 months for the leagues to start preparing to resume the season. Bundesliga has resumed the season on 16th May. All the other leagues are also following their footsteps.
The one thing which will deeply affect the clubs, player and fans, is that the matches will be played behind closed doors at least for the remainder of the season.
For Liverpool, Anfield contributes to the “perfect package of football”. Klopp has addressed this issue that the fans can’t return to the stadium anytime soon and ‘we have to accept’.
“We have to do it, unfortunately, without the best boost in the world and the best kick in your ass in the right moment in the world, from the Anfield crowd. In this moment we cannot have that, so let’s take the rest and make the absolute best of it.” ✊
Klopp told LFCTV: “The perfect package of football is a full, packed Anfield stadium, two really good teams, big fight, super goals and at the end Liverpool win. That’s the perfect matchday. So, a lot of these things are possible but Anfield will not be packed for a while. So that’s what we have to accept, that’s the only thing.”
“I know, football behind closed doors, of course it’s not the same. We have to do it, unfortunately, without the best boost in the world and the best kick in your ass in the right moment in the world, from the Anfield crowd. In this moment we cannot have that, so let’s take the rest and make the absolute best of it.”

LaLiga is following the footsteps of Bundesliga, which is the first major European League to resume its 2019-20 season after the Coronavirus break. LaLiga wants to resume its season on 13th June, it is a proposed date and hasn’t been officially declared till now.
This season the race for the LaLiga title has been quite interesting. The top spot has been shared alternatively by Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid looked the better side this season. They won the El Clasico too but surprisingly they slipped up the lead and Barcelona were on top of the table before the season was halted by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Barcelona leads Real Madrid by a very fine margin of two points. Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is ready to battle for the LaLiga title when the season resumes.
Courtois told Real Madrid TV on Tuesday.”Everyone is looking forward to restarting LaLiga and keeping fighting to win it.”
“We couldn’t wait to be back at training after two months, being together as a team and despite it being a bit different, it is always nice to come back to Valdebebas to have training. Training at home is different, but I think everyone did well, everyone did what the coach has said and everyone keeps fit, everyone is pretty strong.”
He further added: “Goalkeepers were lucky because we were allowed to do training with the keeper’s coach last week. This week, allowing small groups, team-mates can shoot at us, at least, and you feel it is a real session.”

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, most of the possible companies shifted their offices from offline to online. All the meetings, conferences are done online over the past few months. The connectivity service providers are freely providing their best offers, plans, and services being in favour of the workers. Internet service providers bring new plans especially for the work from home purpose, the conference platforms are also doing the same.
There is no match of service that Google provides, this fact is again proved. Over 50 million downloads of Google Meet is reflecting it. The popularity graph increases from March of this year. At the beginning of the month, Google Meet had five million installations. The number just got double in just 20 days. Keeping hold of the increase rate, at present, the app crosses more than 50 million installations.
The trust in Google is obviously a reason. But there are some more reasons contributing to this growth of popularity. The service of Google Meet was free for the GSuit users earlier, but now it is free for all. Besides, the Zoom vulnerability issue is also a major reason.
In the smartphone SoC market, Qualcomm and MediaTek does have a huge competition, the Taiwanese silicon giant has impressed with its new Dimensity SoCs this year. These 7 nm based Dimensity SoCs have tremendous performance and goes head-to-head with Qualcomm and even dominates it.
MediaTek’s new Dimensity 820 SoC is a mid-ranged SoC with four high-performance Arm Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.6GHz and the other four efficiency Cortex-A55 cores continue to be clocked at 2.0GHz. On the graphics front, the SoC features 5-core Arm Mali G57 GPU.

So, naturally, the Dimensity 820 SoC is a powerful SoC and its AnTuTu scores prove it, the Dimensity 820 recorded scores of 415,277 and 415,672 points on AnTuTu.
This new 7nm SoC from MediaTek defeated Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G by +7% and +37% in Geekbench 4.2 tests while gained a massive 300% higher performance in AI benchmarks. Featuring on the new Redmi 10X will make this device a powerful mid-range smartphone and even better than the Redmi K30.

The Snapdragon 765G powered Redmi K30 just scores 329,704 points which is significantly lower than the Dimensity 820. Redmi has touted the performance as “flagship par” and which is indeed so because most of the flagships these days manage to score around 500,000 points or even 600,000 points.
So, with 400k points this mid-ranged device with 5G support will be the one to look for, now the pricing and availability will be a key factor, nevertheless, more devices featuring the MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC are to be seen in the coming months.
“Netflix and Chill” this line is very much famous among the Indian young-stars these days. It clearly indicates they all find Netflix the best option to spend time on, in this lockdown period. Though the effect of this mentally is not limited to only Netflix. It also affects the other online video streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Videos, Zee5, Disney+ Hotstar, etc too.
For the past few months, specifically during the past phases of lockdowns, Indians showed a lot more interest in all the streaming service community. And by number, this is over 200% for Zee5 and Netflix. Others are not behind.
The report says as a gainer Zee5 is at the top with a 259 percent hike. Just next to it, on the list, is Netflix. It gets around 204 percent interest growth. These two are the only 200%+ interest gainers. The rest of the platforms like Amazon Prime Video get 189% of growth, AltBalaji gets 174%, JioCenema 161%, and the recently tied up Disney+ Hotstar gets 149% public interest growth in India.
The mentioned increase percentage of these platforms is with respect to itself. Considering the overall interest increase, Netflix gets 21% among it. Starting from the top, after Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar gets 18%, Prime Video gets 16%, Zee5 14%, JioCinema 10%, and AltBalaji 7% of the entire interest growth. The rest 14% is secured by other platforms together. All the stats are presented by JustWatch, based on the activities on its website and App.
The image we are going to show you is obtained by @IceUniverse and they reveal the design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 20, which is alleged to launch in August. Though this is not the final design of the smartphone and may differ with the final product.
Being a reliable source we can trust the source and its images as they may match the original design in the long run. Now coming to the design, the phone looks more like the previous Galaxy Note 10 series.

The phone has a punch hole cut at the top middle of the display and uniform bezels on all sides. The rear camera design is like a rectangular bump with quad camera setup. The exact resolutions of all the camera sensors are still not revealed.
The Galaxy Note 20+ may come with a 4500mAh battery and 108MP main camera sensor, while the vanilla version Galaxy Note 20 may come with a 4000mAh battery and likely a 12MP main camera sensor, as on the Galaxy S20/S20+. Rumors of a Galaxy Note20 Ultra have repeatedly been ignored ain several ways.
