The new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is here but if you do not want to spend a lot on that flagship smartphone but still want a Samsung flagship then you can consider this Galaxy S22 Ultra. With the same display as used in the new variant, the S22 Ultra is still one of the best in the market with a flagship camera which has received a minor upgrade over last year.
If someone cannot afford an iPhone 14 Pro and still need a flagship under Rs.1lakh can consider this Galaxy S22 Ultra which has now been discounted to ₹98,490 only. With S Pen support and all the Samsung goodness, it still bears the essence of an ultra-high-end flagship gives you. We will highly recommend this over a regular iPhone 14 Plus or OnePlus flagship because of the complete experience this Galaxy S22 Ultra is still able to provide.

The Chiphell forums have allegedly leaked performance benchmarks for an NVIDIA GeForce RT 40 graphics card based on the AD106 GPU. According to Chiphell, the name of this GeForce RTX 40 GPU has not yet been finalised, but it does feature the full AD106 GPU die with 4608 CUDA cores and packs 8 GB memory, implying a 128-bit bus interface. The GPU also has 32 MB of L2 cache, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs.
AIDA64 and various 3DMark benchmarks were used to test the card. The card delivers up to 26 TFLOPs of compute power in FP64, which is 13% more than the RTX 3070 Ti. This gives us a boost of around 2.8 GHz, which is higher than the other Ada cards.

The AD106 GPU scores 10% slower to 3% faster than the RTX 3070 Ti, with a 25% increase in the DXR Feature Test demonstrating its raytracing prowess.
The most important number is the power consumption, with the card drawing only 180W at peak, which is 27% less than the RTX 3070 Ti and 23% less than the older TU104 GPUs. According to rumours, the NVIDIA AD106 GPU will be included in the RTX 4060 graphics card, but with different specifications. The RTX 4070 Laptop GPU has similar specifications, but it does not have a boost clock this high, nor does it have a board power that exceeds 115W.

In comparison to the RTX 3060 Ti, which had a TGP of 200W, the RTX 4060 Ti appears to have a 20% lower TGP, which is consistent with what we’ve heard about the card.
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to use the AD106-350-A1 GPU core, a scaled-down version of the full AD106 GPU, with 34 SMs or 4352 CUDA cores, an 8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps across a 128-bit bus interface, and 288 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU also has 32 MB of L2 cache, which is an 8x increase over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
A prototype iOS web browser is being developed by Google‘s Chromium developers would circumvent Apple’s restrictions on web browser engines. Developers are actively working on the experimental browser, which makes use of Google’s Blink engine. However, it wouldn’t pass Apple’s Application Review procedure if Google tried to upload it to the App Store.
According to Apple’s App Store guidelines, browser applications for iOS and iPadOS must make use of the company’s WebKit browser engine. This implies that while browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Chrome are created with Chromium on Windows and macOS, their iOS equivalents are compelled to utilize Apple’s WebKit, which causes them to act such as Safari.
The software allegedly resembles the beginning of another browser build based on the public code commits, although it is still in its early stages and is lacking some essential functions. Google asserts that the application is only “an experimental version with the intention of understanding some elements of performance on iOS” and that it “won’t be offered to users and we’ll maintain to adhere by Apple’s standards.”
To be sure, Google’s work on an experimental iOS browser may be an indication that the corporation is waiting for adjustments to Apple’s platform policies that will allow it to launch a browser that is actually developed in-house.
The Biden government has most recently advocated for the passage of new legislation to prohibit “gatekeeper” corporations like Apple from forbidding alternative browser engines on its platform, raising the issue of Apple’s browser engine restriction once again under antitrust investigation.
Antitrust agencies in Japan, Australia, and the UK have all made suggestions that are very similar. As early as next year, Apple is anticipated to be forced to let third-party app stores and remove its limits on browser engines by the Digital Markets Act of the European Union. If a Blink-based iOS browser is ever made available, Google will at the very least have a significant head start thanks to the ongoing project.
As we expect when the new Samsung S23 series is launched that its predecessor, the S22 series will be discounted, well partially true. Why? Because not every S22 phone has been permanently discounted, while the S22+ has been discontinued but the older S22 Ultra is still being offered at older flagship pricing, strange though.
Samsung Galaxy S22 gets cheaper!
Spotted by GSMArena, the base Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone only has been discounted and now it has a starting price of ₹57,999 for an 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. On the other hand, the 256GB storage variant will cost you ₹61,999, previously the base variant would cost ₹72,999 and the latter used to cost ₹76,999.
While the new S23 series has new colors, chipsets and 4 years of software updates, however, the old Galaxy S22 could also be a good option if you can get it at cheap prices. Amazon India, on the other hand, Galaxy S22 is on sale for ₹52,999 and for that price you get the same 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display which remains the same in the S23 series as well.
So, anyone who is looking for an affordable flagship that too from Samsung can go for the Galaxy S22 which now is being discounted: https://amzn.to/3RCBWCH
Do you love thin & light laptops a lot? Well, Lenovo has a plethora of them at your disposal but this Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon is indeed a special one. Though you already might hear the name, the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon is a popular model because of its carbon-fibre design that makes it incredibly light yet premium.
Here we have the 12th Gen Intel-powered Yoga Slim 7i Carbon for review that weighs only 0.97kg, yes, it’s very portable because of its weight. The Moon White color design and carbon-fibre body give it a premium look from the moment you unbox it, it’s one of the sleekest and most eye-catchy laptops I’ve ever seen.
It’s a compact 13-inch form factor laptop with a 16:10 aspect ratio, and the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon could easily be your everyday companion, having spent around two weeks with it, here’s a detailed review about the laptop:
Up to 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1260P processor with Intel Evo certification, comes with Integrated Intel® Iris® Xe graphics
Up to 32GB 4800MHz dual channel LDDR5 RAM
Up to 1TB SSD PCIe M.2 SSD storage
2x2W Harman Speaker with Dolby Atmos support
HD 720p + IR webcam
WiFi 6E and Bluetooth® 5.1 connectivity
Ports: Intel® Thunderbolt™ 4 (DisplayPort™ 1.4, power delivery, 40Gps data transfer) and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (DisplayPort™ 1.4, power delivery, 20Gbps data transfer)
Edge-to-edge backlit keyboard with 1mm key travel
50Whr battery that lasts up to 10 hours (for productivity work) and up to 13 hours on video playback
Design & Build Quality
As I told you earlier, this Yoga Slim 7i Carbon is very thin and light, leading to aerospace-grade lightness accompanied by military-grade toughness. Why? Because this laptop is made of aerospace-grade magnesium alloy reinforced with multi-layer carbon Web-Core 2.0 for an incredibly thin, rugged chassis.
So, even though it weighs less than 1kg, its hinge is very sturdy and can be opened with one hand, easy to lift with your fingers, and still doesn’t have any sort of flex. I am really impressed with the build quality and would highly recommend this Yoga Slim 7i Carbon laptop for anyone who is looking for a portable laptop which is very light.
Display
Coming to the display, Lenovo has given you a 13.3-inch 2.5K PureSight display with up to 90Hz refresh rate, though the panel is not OLED still Lenovo promises good color accuracy. Because of the modern 16:10 aspect ratio, and an anti-glare screen, the laptop’s display is very much usable as you get more screen real estate.
For professionals, Lenovo has used hardware-calibrated Delta E <1 accurate 100% sRGB color space and volume for the display. Also, having the TÜV Rheinland Hardware Low Blue Light certification is very important especially if you forget to wear computer glasses, reducing eye strain if you work for long hours.
Having used the laptop’s display for quite some time now I can easily say it’s one of the best, though lacks that extraordinary contrast which OLED panels bring but apart from that I was quite happy doing my everyday work.
From watching movies to writing articles or casual YouTube sessions, the display is good enough for almost everything and even professionals can take use of the color accuracy of this Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon.
Let’s see this 13.3-inch 2.5K display’s metrics in our DataColor SypderX Pro test and does it live up to Lenovo’s claims:
As you see in our tests, the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon’s display is quite good, covering up to 99% sRGB color gamut but this is not up to MacBook or ZenBook standards these days which cover 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. Though it’s good enough for daily usage professionals who need more color-accurate displays can look for alternatives if this satisfies your needs then it’s fine.
Also, the advertised 400 nits of peak brightness look capped at 369 nits, still quite a descent, the high resolution makes the thing look sharp but due to lack of good contrast makes things shabby sometimes. However, if you omit hi-fi productive work, for media consumption the display is very good, with both Dolby Atmos & Vision support, you do enjoy watching movies or YouTube as well.
We told you everything about this Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon display but you should decide if the display will suit your needs or not.
Performance
Lenovo has kept its partnership with Intel intact and though powered by the older 12-core 12th Gen Core i7-1260P processor, the laptop is quite powerful for everyday needs. This is paired with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and PCIe Gen4 SSD support, you get a blazing-fast Windows experience and everyday work is done in a jiffy.
However, sometimes in power saving mode or when too many tabs are open in Chrome there is a lag in performance, now when you do high-end workloads, the laptop gets heated up pretty quickly. So, heavy rendering or hours of high-end work is not the best I would say, anyways better on a dedicated work desktop or a MacBook.
To see its productivity performance, here are some benchmarks for your reference:
As you see in the benchmarks, this Core i7-1260P processor is a powerful chip but cannot deliver a sustained performance because of the weak thermals. In single-core, though you will see a good score in multi-core, the laptop struggles a lot and even the older Yoga Slim 7 Carbon with Ryzen 7 5800U we reviewed gives better performance than this one.
As you see during prolonged benchmarking, the CPU temperature goes up to 91 degrees Celsius which is again a weak point of this Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon. We feel, the performance of this notebook isn’t bad but the thermals could have been better to properly utilize the chipset inside the laptop and the lack of discrete GPU also doesn’t do justice if you want to do heavy graphics intensive workload.
In terms of SSD speed, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon really excels and posts flagship Gen4 speeds of up to 6505MB/s read and 4874MB/s write speeds. This kind of speed is excellent for a laptop you plan to use in the long run and overall for most people this laptop should be enough but not for high-end users.
Even though at Performance mode, you still feel the thermals are doing good to push the performance, however, it cannot sustain much of the peak performance. If you are a business-oriented person and need a reliable medium-usage laptop for everyday purpose then the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon makes sense or even people like me who uses a laptop for writing mainly makes real sense. However, don’t think of comparing this one with MacBook Pros and keep your performance expectations a bit real.
Connectivity & I/O
Lenovo has kept things simple with the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon and the ThunderBolt 4 port here on the left-hand side is responsible for both charging and transfers. On the right-hand side, you have a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 port which again is a Type-C anyways so you have to carry a dongle to connect hard drives, etc.
In terms of connectivity, the Wi-Fi 6E support is excellent, and the broader coverage does help when you take the laptop outdoors still in search of better connectivity. My plan speeds are capped at 150MB/s and as you see there is no loss of speed, I am getting very low latency as well, also the upload speeds are very accurate.
Also, Bluetooth 5.1 does help you to connect to multiple devices easily and I have been using my dedicated mouse or headphones or speaker and faced no issues at all.
Keyboard & Trackpad
The white theme obviously compliments the laptop pretty well, the keyboard area has been stretched so that the keys remain standard. The edge-to-edge backlit keyboard serves the purpose for me as they are quite comfortable to type on, not the clickiest but has decent key travel for daily usage.
In terms of the trackpad, Lenovo has stuffed in a larger trackpad which again is usable not that I used it very often but when my mouse wasn’t around, I could use the trackpad as an alternative.
Audio & Webcam
Lenovo has never compromised on the audio department, and here you also have 2x2W Harman speakers with Dolby Atmos support which is loud & accurate enough. I did play music a lot and the sound quality is quite decent, it is not as loud as MacBooks or ZenBooks but still, it’s very usable.
For the webcam, this Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon sports a 720p HD webcam, again very simple but comes with a privacy shutter and also an IR sensor for Windows Hello face recognition. Though the webcam quality is average, Windows Hello support is very convenient if you are too lazy to give a pin during every unlock.
Battery life
Coming to battery life, though there are big claims around this Yoga Slim 7i Carbon to last up to 10 hours, however, being an Intel-powered one, the battery life is a bit slender. As per my usage with 60% brightness and at silent mode, the laptop lasts up to 6.30 hours in some cases but on average last around 5.30 hours.
So, for typical usage, the numbers are quite good but can be stretched if you are casual binge watching and to be fair these numbers are decent enough but not close to the MacBooks anywhere.
Verdict
Now, should you buy this Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon laptop powered by 12th Gen Intel processors or not? Well, if you need an ultra-thin & light notebook which you will use for basic to mid-range usage, need decent battery life and want to carry & use it anywhere this Lenovo laptop solves your purpose quite easily.
Obviously, things aren’t cheap these days, and neither this laptop is, costing around $999.99 and is in the MacBook Air zone. Well, for a Windows laptop I have no complaints as such and being an elegant, thin & light laptop, it served me quite well for a few days, however, it cannot handle a sustained load.
Even the newer MacBook Air struggles with a heavy load but has great battery life, however, if you are inclined towards Windows laptops, and love features like Windows Hello or seamless integration to Microsoft you can go for this Yoga Slim 7i Carbon else go for MacBook if you don’t mind macOS. I hope Lenovo improve the thermals and performance while still being light on the 2023 variants which will head into the market pretty soon.

The football world was taken by surprise recently with the strange situation involving young American defender Julian Araujo and Spanish giants Barcelona. With the transfer deadline fast approaching, many are wondering what the future holds for the talented player.
So what exactly happened, and why was Julian Araujo left out of the squad for the Copa del Rey final?
To understand the situation, let’s take a look at the transfer rules. According to FIFA regulations, the transfer window is the period during which a club can transfer players from one country to another. The transfer window opens on January 1st and closes on January 31st, with the deadline for registering new players being 11 pm on the last day of the window
Well, it turns out that the situation was due to a technicality involving the transfer deadline. According to Spanish football rules, a player who is registered with a club after the transfer deadline is not eligible to play in official matches for the rest of the season.
It’s definitely over for Julián Araujo to Barcelona. Agreement collapsed due to documents signed 18 seconds after the Deadline on Tuesday. 🔵🔴🇲🇽 #FCB
FIFA has not approved the deal and it won’t change with any appeal. Barça will keep following Araujo for the future. pic.twitter.com/lyG0b5aQeS
Now, let’s get back to Julian Araujo. The American defender has been making waves in the MLS with LA Galaxy, and his impressive performances have caught the eye of Barcelona. Araujo was registered with Barcelona after the transfer deadline, and as a result, he was not eligible officially sign for the Catalans. This strange situation highlights the strict transfer rules in Spanish football, and how even a talented player like Araujo can be affected by them. This has led to a lot of speculation on social media, with fans and experts alike weighing in on the situation.
Fans and experts took to social media to express their disappointment and confusion regarding the situation:
Many of us #LAGalaxy fans are crushed for Julian Araujo right now. 😔. Give ‘em hell this season while you’re still here our 𝕲. 🍻 💙🤍💛 pic.twitter.com/JDxMEF1CPd
I genuinely feel bad for Julian Araujo. Imagine having your dream snatched away from you for a mere few seconds. Sad man.
We've agreed everything with LA Galaxy and with the player himself so I guess he'll come in the summer. It will be a real shame if this deal falls through. pic.twitter.com/0LKZtcM18L
The situation involving Julian Araujo and Barcelona is a strange one, but it highlights the strict transfer rules in Spanish football and the impact they can have on young talent. Will he join Barcelona and take the next step in his career, or will the transfer window close with him still at LA Galaxy? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the football world will be watching.
To nobody’s surprise, all of the most expensive transfers of January 2023 have been to the Premier League. And in this post, we will be taking a look at the top ten most expensive signings of the month gone by.
Top 10 most expensive transfers of January 2023
10. Danilo: Palmeiras to Nottingham Forest – £17.8m
One of the most expensive transfers of January 2023 comes from relegation-battling Nottingham Forest, who has signed Danilo on a 6.5-year contract.
9. Andrey Santos: Vasco Da Gama to Chelsea – £18m
Andrey Santos now has 5 goals in 5 games at the U-20 South American Championship from midfield… 🇧🇷 pic.twitter.com/LHki2Zsb4Z
The young Brazilian is proving to be a bargain, scoring five goals in as many games for Brazil in the U-20 South American Championships. As a result, he could be in line for a promotion to the first team very soon.
Ouattara is a signing that might have flown under the radar. But, the Burkina Faso forward has signed on a £20 million deal, having scored six goals in 18 Ligue 1 games this season.
7. Leandro Trossard: Brighton to Arsenal – £21m
🚨 Confirmed: January signings Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior & Jorginho have all, unsurprisingly, been included in the Arsenal squad list for the Europa League knockout stages. #afcpic.twitter.com/2oDZJmhgib
£21 million for one of Brighton’s top players seems like a steak, especially considering the start he has made for Arsenal. After missing out on Mykhaylo Mudryk, Trossard could be a crazy signing who is just hitting his peak years.
6. Georginio Rutter: Hoffenheim to Leeds – £24.8m
Rutter is Leeds United’s most expensive signing of all time and will be expected to help them out with their goalscoring woes. He has scored 11 goals in 61 Bundesliga games, and fans will be hoping for a better return from him in England.
5. Noni Madueke: PSV Eindhoven to Chelsea – £30.7m
Madueke signed for Chelsea after coming through the Tottenham academy, and was one of their eight new arrivals. A skilful and fast winger, he has the ability to take on his man and go for goal – which is exactly what Chelsea need right now.
4. Benoit Badiashile: Monaco to Chelsea – £34m
The France international has been a relatively quiet signing, but has been performing exceptionally well. He has been the left-sided central defender that was needed, and what a signing he is proving to be so far.
3. Cody Gakpo: PSV to Liverpool – £37.2m
Manchester United were expected to land Gakpo in January… until Liverpool came in and finalised the transfer. Gakpo has struggled to deliver so far under Jurgen Klopp. But, he is a remarkable talent and it seems only a matter of time before things start to fall into place for him.
2. Mykhaylo Mudryk: Shakhtar Donetsk to Chelsea – £62m + £26.5 add-ons
Mykhaylo Mudryk to Chelsea, here we go! Documents are being exchanged between Chelsea and Shakhtar. Deal will cost €100m package as Ukrainian club always wanted. 🚨🔵 #CFC
Mykhaylo Mudryk to Arsenal seemed like a done deal until he was holding up a Chelsea shirt as one of the most expensive transfers of January 2023 until deadline day. The West London club reached an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk for a massive fee, and have signed the winger on an eight-and-a-half-year deal.
via Enzo Fernandez’s Twitter
1. Enzo Fernandez: Benfica to Chelsea- £106.8m
Chelsea’s persistence helped them land the 2022 World Cup’s young player of the tournament on a British record fee, placing him atop the most expensive transfers of January 2023. Enzo Fernandez left Benfica after only six months and is expected to play a huge part in the Blues’ project going ahead.
