Today, seems to be a day for Nothing after two announcements back to back, one being the Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and the other being the Nothing Ear 2 will be launching on 22nd March. Already we had rumours suggesting the upcoming Ear 2 TWS earbuds be launched this month itself and now it’s confirmed by its founder Carl Pei on Twitter.
According to reports, the design of the earbuds has not changed much from its predecessor, Nothing Ear 1 but there will exciting new features to make it a worthy successor. One such is the personalized ANC support feature which could be an inspiration from the OnePlus Buds Pro 2.
Nothing Ear 2 TWS earbuds – All we know so far
Another feature that sets Nothing Ear 2 TWS apart from its predecessor is the support for dual connectivity. This means that users can connect the earbuds to two devices simultaneously and switch between them seamlessly. Nothing is also adding support for Advanced EQ with custom settings and the Find Earbuds Feature.
The Nothing Ear 2 TWS has a transparent design, which is similar to the design of the previous model. The earbuds and the carry case both have a transparent look, and the noise-cancelling microphone is the only notable design change.

If you loved the design of the Nothing Ear 1, you will definitely appreciate the design of the Nothing Ear 2 as well. Overall, the new product from Nothing is expected to be an exciting addition to the TWS earbuds market.
The upcoming launch of the Nothing Ear 2 TWS earbuds on Flipkart is an eagerly awaited event. With the addition of personalized ANC, dual connectivity, and a Transparency Mode, these earbuds are sure to impress music enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates on the product’s release and availability on Flipkart.
It was kind of expected and recently confirmed by 91mobiles, the upcoming Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by the older yet capable Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 based on TSMC’s 4nm process.
While a lot of people guessed it to be the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which again would have cost higher, our gut feeling always said it would be the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Similar to what OnePlus did with its 11R, Carl Pei has similar plans in his mind to make the Nothing Phone (2) both powerful and cost-effective.
While you remember that the Nothing Phone (1) was kind of a perfect mid-range device but making good phones that are powerful is a norm, especially in the 2022-23 era. Now, using this Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which specifically fixed the flaws of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 using Samsung node, the Nothing Phone (2) could make an impact as an affordable flagship, whose market is very popular in countries like India.

Any ambitions that Erik Ten Hag’s side had of competing for the Premier League title have been dealt a massive blow, since they are fourteen points behind league leaders Arsenal. Here are the key takeaways from the routing at Merseyside.
Key takeaways from Liverpool’s big win against Manchester United

Erik Ten Hag openly criticised his team’s performance in the second half, calling it unacceptable to lose the way they did. They went into the break 1-0 down, but were completely decimated by their rivals in the second half.
Klopp’s side returned with the intensity that they have become so well-known for, and something that was lacking for a while. The hosts never let up, and simply kept on scoring with their applied pressure till the end.
Erik ten Hag: “You can lose a game but not in this way. Also, the second half is… unprofessional that is not Manchester United”. 🔴 #MUFC
“It can't happen, we have to talk about it. I saw 11 individuals losing their heads. This was not Manchester United”. pic.twitter.com/80j2n3n18F
Mohamed Salah has surpassed Robbie Fowler as the player with the most Premier League goals for Liverpool. The Egyptian winger scored a brace to take his tally to 129, and cement himself as a bona fide club legend.
He has also become only the second player to score 20+ goals for six consecutive seasons after Ian Rush.
Top four ambitions still alive for Klopp
Reminder: Liverpool scored S-E-V-E-N goals against Manchester United 🎥
Now that Liverpool are only three points behind Spurs in the Champions League places with a game in hand, they are likely to return to the top four. However, consistency is the name of the game from here on out.
The challenge for the top four is very tight this season, and the Merseyside club will have to use the momentum from their huge win to keep up their form and go back to winning ways consistently.
As seen in recent extended gameplay footage, Dambuster Studios’ long-awaited zombie action RPG Dead Island 2 will feature an intriguing system that will allow players to unleash their own mutation powers. With the success of Endnight’s Sons of the Forest in the indie scene and the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake in the AAA sphere, it’s an exciting time to be a fan of horror games.
With the official extended gameplay revealed, we can take a closer look at Dead Island 2’s gameplay aspects and elements

Those who have been anticipating the sequel to 2011’s Dead Island were no doubt ecstatic to learn that the game’s release date had been pushed forward to April 21. While the first game in the series was not as well-received as many had hoped, the upcoming second installment is one that many fans have been anticipating for years, with this installment aiming for a more humorous tone, as evidenced by the trailers.
The gameplay video provides a good overview of the game as it currently stands, displaying the world and action. The ability to mutate, on the other hand, is the most intriguing feature. Dani, one of six possible playable characters, is shown in the footage using her “corrupted DNA” to become ever more powerful, unleashing “explosive abilities” that actually mimic the power of the undead. It appears to be adding something new to the combat system. However, the narrator does state that this feature will not be available in the game’s early stages.
The FLESH system from Dead Island 2 is also demonstrated in the video. This is a gruesome procedural feature that gives players a taste of bloodlust as they hack and slash at zombies, killing them in the most gory ways possible. Overall, the extended gameplay is enticing, providing a taste of what’s to come.
Dead Island 2 launches on April 28 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Defending world champion Max Verstappen started the season in a familiar fashion by winning the 2023 Bahrain GP. Red Bull achieved a one-two, with Sergio Perez finishing second while Fernando Alonso finished third to complete the podium.
Both Red Bull drivers followed similar strategies during the race, and Verstappen ended up winning the race by ten seconds. Starting from pole position, he never looked truly challenged in the lead and was able to start the season very strongly.
2023 Bahrain GP: Verstappen wins, Leclerc retires
Technical problems continued into the new season for Ferrari, with Charles Leclerc having to retire on Lap 41 due to a failed engine. Alonso, on the other hand, was able to overtake Carlos Sainz on Lap 45 to earn his first podium finish since 2021.
Sainz had to settle for fourth spot in the race, following the late battle. Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, finished fifth. Lance Stroll capped off a remarkable outing for Aston Martin, finishing in sixth place.
Esteban Ocon and Oscar Piastri of McLaren were not able to finish either. Lando Norris was the only driver from their team to finish, albeit at the bottom of the pile.
The 2023 Bahrain GP was redemption for Red Bull, after their double DNF a year ago. On the other hand, it could also mean the beginning of the Bahrain curse for Red Bull. But, given the performances he has been putting in, all that might simply be superstition.
The next race of the season will take place in a few weeks as Formula 1 travels to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Man City’s goalkeeper, Ederson, has achieved the feat of becoming the third-fastest goalkeeper in Premier League history to reach 100 clean sheets. Ederson kept his 100th Premier League clean sheet in Saturday’s 2-0 home win against Newcastle United.
Having a clean sheet of this number is indeed worthy of a great celebration, and the Brazilian can take extra pride in being in this rank in a total of 208 matches. Before him go Petr Cech and Pepe Reina, who played for Chelsea and Liverpool, respectively.
Petr Cech
In this list of top 3, first comes the name of Petr Cech, who has the record of being the fastest to 100 clean sheets. He achieved this feat during his time for Chelsea on 13 Apr 2010 and is only among the two to be quicker than Ederson, who recently achieved this record. Though records are meant to be broken in sports, some records seem like they would be just a dream to achieve. The record of Petr Cech seems so, as he achieved this only in 180 appearances.
Pepe Reina
Next in this list comes the name of Pepe Reina, who is also among the all-time greats of the Premier League. Reina played for Liverpool while achieving this feat of being the second fastest to reach 100 clean sheets, and he achieved it in the same year of Petr Cech just a few months after on 6 Dec 2010. He achieved this feat in 198 games.
Ederson
Last but not least, as it is known to you all, the newest member in its list is Manchester City’s Ederson, who secured this achievement on 4 Mar 2023 in his 208 appearances. Apart from these three, greats like Peter Schmeichel while playing for Man United, David Seaman for Arsenal, and Edwin van der Sar for Man Utd achieved these feats too.
As part of the expansion of its Silicon Design Centre in central Munich, Apple has announced that it will spend an additional 1 billion euros on German engineering over the next six years. This is in addition to the business’s prior 1 billion euro investment pledge from 2021 when it chose Munich as the location for the headquarters of its new European Silicon Design Center.
Apple to spend in Germany to grow Silicon Design Center to make itself independent
According to CEO Tim Cook, the engineering teams in Munich, which is already the company’s largest technical hub in Europe, play a crucial role in the innovative inventions that thrill customers worldwide.
The company claims it would develop and build a cutting-edge research facility at Seidlstrasse, building on its longtime presence in Germany and expanding investments across Europe. The facility will be constructed to allow Apple’s R&D teams to collaborate and innovate more effectively by providing ample lab space, cutting-edge design, and a strategic location.
According to Johny Srouji, the tech giant’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies, the Munich-based teams at Apple have made significant contributions to the ground-breaking custom silicon designs used in the company’s most recent products as well as important cellular and power management innovations. He continues that this includes the brand-new MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and M2 Max, Apple’s newest Mac silicon that offers people everywhere even more power-efficient battery life and performance.
As part of the expansion of the Silicon Design Centre, teams will also work out of new offices in Denisstrasse and Marsstrasse in addition to Apple’s new Seidlstrasse location. A nexus of invention and innovation has been established in the heart of Munich thanks to the three new locations, which are just across from Apple’s recently opened R&D facility at Karlstrasse.
The new buildings make up Apple’s European Silicon Design Centre, which is based in Munich’s Maxvorstadt area and joined by engineering locations in Arnulfstrasse and Hackerbrücke.
Arsenal were able to earn a 3-2 win in their most recent game against Bournemouth, after conceding the second fastest goal in the Premier League. Only nine seconds after kick off, the league leaders were behind courtesy of a strike from Philip Billing.
Almost a quarter into the second half, Bournemouth had doubled their lead with Marcos Senesi adding to their advantage. But, they could not hold on to their two-goal lead and slipped up as Arsenal won the game with the last kick of the ball.
Can Arsenal win the Premier League title this year?
One of the key traits of any title winning team is the ability to turn losses and draws into wins. And this season, Arsenal have been doing just that with their performances.
The intensity and desire that they are showing on the pitch is second to none. And with such a motivated young team, they currently stand five points clear at the top of the table.
Not only do Arsenal have a set of starting players who are performing remarkably well, but they also have names who can come off the bench and make a difference. One of them was Reiss Nelson, who scored the match-winning goal for the North London side against Bournemouth.
Mikel Arteta’s side still have to play Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool en route to the end of the season. And with the kind of will they have displayed on the pitch, this might just be the year that they clinch the title.
It won’t be easy, though, since Manchester City are only five points behind, and back to their winning ways.
