An exclusive “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy” shown in promotional photos

0

As a result of an agreement between Samsung and Qualcomm, the forthcoming Galaxy S23 series will only employ a chipset known as the “Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy.”

That is a mouthful, to say the least. Don’t worry; Samsung has a more succinct way of reminding people about the unique processor that powers its latest flagships.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is here

Relevant promotional graphics will feature the redesigned Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 logo. Just days before the official release on February 1st, a few promotional photographs have already surfaced online. Starting the following week, be prepared to see advertisements of similar nature on several billboards and online.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Although specifics of the agreement with Qualcomm are now hazy, the chipset will be exclusive to Samsung, at least initially and possibly indefinitely. The Galaxy S24 generation is anticipated to continue the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy” trend into the following year. Following that, Samsung MX may decide to employ its own chipset.

AU Bank Depicts New Credit Card Offering Platform SwipeUP

AU Small Finance Bank has unveiled a new facility similar to mobile number portability for credit card users.  For android users it’s very easy to change their service provider while retaining the same number, AU Bank has dropped a facility that will permit the users of any credit card to get an upgraded AU Bank credit card instantly. 

Recently, AU Small Finance Bank declared the launch of a first-of-its-kind ‘SwipeUp’ platform that may allow the credit cardholders of any bank to get an upgraded card instantly. In a statement, AU Bank told that the SwipeUp platform will permit other bank credit cardholders to compare existing credit cards within 2-3 seconds.  In this, they can upgrade to a new card with an enhanced credit limit, cashback, and reward points matching their lifestyles within minutes.  

AU Bank Depicts New Credit Card Offering Platform SwipeUP

The bank confirmed that the credit cards have been in circulation for more than two decades and progressing with a healthy growth rate year-on-year. However, most customers continue to use the same features and offer for many years despite the continuous change in their income and lifestyle. Their credit card continues to be according to their lifestyle at the time of submitting the credit card application.  

There are several banks offering to boost the credit limit, but features and benefits tend to remain unchanged. Customers can continue to use credit card features for not matching their current lifestyle. AU Bank has confirmed this customer requirement and decided to fulfil this gap with the SwipeUp platform, the statement said.  

AU Bank’s SwipeUp platform 

SwipeUp platform primarily focuses on customers who can hold credit cards from any other bank and can benefit from an upgraded credit card matching their current lifestyle.  

According to the bank that credit card holders of other banks can provide details of their existing credit cards and check their eligibility for an upgraded range of AU Credit cards within 2-3 seconds. These cards will have a higher credit limit, higher cashback, better reward points, zero membership fees, and various other features that are an upgrade from their existing credit card. 

The Credit Cards issued in the SwipeUp platform are different from the current credit cards offered by AU Small Finance Bank. While the new range of cards will offer a high-value proposition to customers, the card is made from biodegradable plastic to contribute towards a better environment.

“While we are a relatively recent entrant in the credit card industry, our team has always focused on understanding customer pain points and finding revolutionary solutions for them through tech innovations. Earlier this year, we launched LIT, a fully customizable credit card to help people curate a card specific to their needs While LIT Credit Card addressed the needs of new AU Credit Card customers, this time with SwipeUp we are giving the freedom of ‘badlaav’ to all other Credit Cardholders,” said Sanjay Agarwal, Managing Director and CEO, AU Small Finance Bank. 

He also added, “Taking ahead our Credit Card motto of ‘live limitless’ we have built this platform to give customers an opportunity to compare and avail better credit card value prop which matches their current lifestyle. As a customer-focused bank, we will continue to identify customer pain areas and create offerings to provide tech-oriented solutions to add more convenience to their lives,”

OnePlus 11R AnTuTu score: Astonishing 1.1 million points

OnePlus 11R AnTuTu score is shocking!!!

OnePlus is soon going to announce both OnePlus 11 and 11R smartphones on Februrary 7th at its Cloud 11 event, prior to that we almost know all leaks, rumors and what’s incoming. However, thanks to tipster Abhishek Yadav, we now even have the AnTuTu score of the device as well which will give us a better idea of the performance we can expect.

Though sporting the last-gen flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which we saw on the OnePlus 10T, we expect good performance undoubtedly. However, the ultimate results are just amazing, this new OnePlus 11R AnTuTu score stands at a humongous 1,149,494 points, over 1 million on AnTuTu is no joke.

Obviously, these are flagship numbers from a powerful SoC like Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, now considering this OnePlus 11R will have pricing near Rs.40k, the numbers are truly incredible. The Adreno 730 GPU, as we know, is one of the best in terms of raw GPU horsepower and due to it, the OnePlus 11R AnTuTu score is simply amazing!

Just In: OnePlus 11R confirmed to launch with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 & Alert Slider

OnePlus 11R 5G Specifications

  • 6.55-inch 1.5K curved AMOLED high PWM panel
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC
  • 50MP OIS Sony sensor + 13MP UW + Depth sensor
  • 16MP Front camera
  • 5,000mAh battery
  • 100W charging
  • Alert Slider & IR blaster
  • OxygenOS 13 

There are a lot of positive sides to this upcoming OnePlus 11R as well because one of the most controversial decisions OnePlus took is by removing its iconic Alert Slider from its OnePlus 10R 5G and we along with others felt really bad about it. Now, the company has listened to its fans and is bringing back the Alert slider, also improving the performance of its affordable flagship performance makes sense.

Forspoken: AMD Radeon RX 400 and RX 500 seem to be too weak to run the Game

0

One of the hottest new titles simply refuses to run on AMD’s venerable Polaris architecture graphics cards. Yes, we are talking about Forspoken, the PC game that has been on everyone’s lips in January 2023, has DirectX 12 feature-level 12 1 API requirements that the stoic Radeon RX 400 and RX 500 series graphics cards can’t meet.

Redditor xCurio pointed out that the ageing AMD Polaris graphics cards are finally too old to party like they used to. They compared Polaris’ inability to run the latest PC game, Forspoken, to the use of even older GeForce GTX 960 or GTX 970 cards.

According to the published minimum system requirements for Forspoken, gamers are expected to use a system with at least an AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB graphics card or an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. These are graphics cards based on the RDNA 1 and Pascal architectures, respectively.

Despite the clear minimum recommendation for an RDNA 1 or better GPU, the older Polaris (RX 500 & RX 400) GPUs are unable to run Forspoken at all

AMD recently released a new Adrenalin graphics driver with optimizations ready to support Forspoken, but this driver is only for use with Radeon RX 7000 (RDNA 3) graphics cards. Surprisingly, the red team hasn’t released any driver updates for older Radeon RX series GPUs since December 8, whereas the RX 7000 series has received four updates since then.

So, if you have a Vega, RDNA 1 or RDNA 2 architecture graphics card, let’s hope that Forspoken will not be a frustrating experience due to technical difficulties. We’re also hoping that AMD has a new Adrenalin graphics driver ready or nearly ready for pre-RDNA 3 architecture graphics card owners.

Novak Djokovic wins Australian Open: Bags his insane 22nd Grand Slam 

Novak Djokovic shows his magic once again on the hard court lifting yet another Australian Open trophy. In a healthy encounter against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Djokovic landed a straight-set win (6-3, 7-6, 7-6). 

22nd Grand Slam for Novak Djokovic: equals Rafael Nadal in total Grand Slam race

With that win, Djokovic bagged his 10th Australian Open and 22nd Slam in this career only to equal Rafael Nadal in the total trophy list. The win also brings him back to the number one spot in the ATP World rankings

Let’s have a quick look at some of the amazing records accomplished by the star Serbian tennis players. 

1: Highest Grand Slam Title records:  Djokovic currently stands tied with Nadal with the maximum number of Slam titles which is 22. 

2: Most Australian Open Titles Record: The Serbian star is the first to win the highest number of Australian Open Single Titles as the number is 10. 

3: No 1 ATP Ranking: He surpassed Carlos Alcaraz to emerge as the number 1 in the ATP rankings. 

Will he surpass Nadal in the total number of Grand Slam run?

Novak Djokovic will surely give his best to surpass his friend and competitor Nadal and be the one with the most Grand Slams. But the next event knocking at the door is the clay-court-based French Open where the Spanish great has had 14 titles. 

However, it’s yet to be clear if Nadal will be a part of the upcoming tournament considering his fitness. If he’ll be back to defend his title, it is something Tennis lovers will look forward to knowing. 

Djokovic might have a great chance to surpass it in Wimbledon where he had his hands on the trophy seven times already.

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav helps India win by 6 wickets

0

After losing the first game against New Zealand under Hardik Pandya, the men in Blue won the second game making the series 1-1. With the help of Indian spin bowlers, they reduced New Zealand to 48/4 by 10 overs. The New Zealand team was also restricted to 99/8. Suryakumar Yadav scored 26 runs and sealed the victory by scoring four in the 20th over.

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I: Match Highlights

India defeated New Zealand by six wickets in the second game of the T20 series. The visitors opted to bat first but wickets started falling at regular intervals. All credit goes to the bowlers like Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar and Deepak Hooda.

Arshdeep Singh scalped two wickets for India and gave away only seven runs in two overs. From New Zealand, skipper Mitchell Santer was unbeaten at 19 off just 23 deliveries. From India, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya performed well under pressure to snatch the victory from the kiwis.

The former scored 26 runs in 31 balls whereas the captain piled up 15 runs in 20 balls. The men in blue were chasing 100 but were still unable to score good runs. India could have easily won but the top-order batter didn’t have a good time on the field. Ishan Kisan could score 19 off 32 deliveries, Shubman Gill’s score was 11 in 9 balls and Rahul Tripathy could notch up only 13 runs in 18 balls.

Three of them couldn’t take the spinners which put the team under pressure. Though India surpassed the 100-run mark, New Zealand’s bowling made the hosts very uncomfortable in achieving this low total. The bowling of both teams was strong and India reached 101 in 19.5 overs.

The third T20 will be held on February 1 in Ahmedabad which will produce the series winner.

Anthony Elanga receives 10 loan proposals from clubs all across Europe

Manchester United have received as many as ten proposals to take Anthony Elanga on loan. Among the clubs interested in signing the youngster are Borussia Dortmund and PSV Eindhoven. 

However, no decision has been made as of yet about where he will be playing for the remainder of the season. The club will make their call within the coming 48 hours about whether they will let him go and get more playing time or stay with the first team. 

Anthony Elanga loan decision to be made very soon 

Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last season, the young Swede made 20 starts. And this year under Erik Ten Hag, he has only made seven, and hasn’t been given many opportunities off the bench either. 

The Dutchman has mostly stuck to Antony and Marcus Rashford on the wings. Alejandro Garnacho has emerged as the preferred impact substitute for Ten Hag this year, with Anthony Elanga falling down the pecking order. 

And the lack of game time could end up hampering his development at this stage. As a result, a move away for better opportunities could help him become a better player. 

PSV have sold Noni Madueke and Cody Gakpo this winter, and could use reinforcement on the wings. Here, Elanga could prove to be a valuable addition for the Dutch side, who will be without two very important players for the second half of the season. 

Tete joins Leicester City on loan until the end of 22/23

Leicester City have confirmed the signing of their first Brazilian player, Tete, from Shakhtar Donetsk. The winger has been signed on a loan deal until the end of the season, and he is expected to return to the Ukrainian club in July. 

He will be wearing the number 37 shirt as confirmed by the official website of the club. He previously spent time with Ligue 1 club Lyon, and now moves to the Premier League for a new challenge under Brendan Rodgers. 

Tete signs for Leicester City on loan 

“I’m really happy to be here. I’ve had a look at the pitch and the stadium, it’s beautiful and I can already imagine what it’ll be like with a lot of fans. I hope to score a lot of goals and assists. I hope they’ll all be happy to see me play, I’m happy to be a Fox,” Tete told Leicester City’s official website

The 22-year-old has represented Brazil at several youth levels, and played 19 times for Lyon in 22/23. He produced a good return of six goals and three assists, and will be hoping to bring his form over to Leicester, who need a boost in attack. 

After emerging as contenders for Europe in the last few seasons, Leicester City have suffered quite a bit this year. They are currently 14th in the table and are only a point from the relegation zone. 

Tete is the second signing for the Foxes after the arrival of Danish left-back Victor Kristiansen. And it now remains to be seen whether the pair can help them improve their performances in the second half of the season.
