Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra’s big leak shows a Secondary Display and 120X zoom camera

Xiaomi Mi 11 was launched globally around Europe a few weeks back and it became the first device in the world to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 mobile processor. It was expected that the Chinese tech company will bring more upgrades to Mi 11 in the form of Mi 11 Lite, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra. 

Surprisingly, Mi 11 Ultra has been revealed by a Filipino YouTuber. The video is now deleted but thanks to social media, the details, and photos of the upcoming mega smartphone are already spread around. The YouTuber has shared two colour variants of Mi 11 Ultra; Black and White. The first thing you can witness on the smartphone is its huge camera bump on the backside the smartphone. 

It is expected that the camera comes in a triple camera system with a periscope zoom lens. The back panel includes a ‘120X Ultra Pixel AI Camera’, a triple LED flash, and a wonder secondary screen. This screen displays all the applications present on the phone. This is a new technology and we cannot tell a definite benefit of this display.

But we infer that this app will help the users to click a selfie with rear cameras. How amazing is that? Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is expected to showcase a 6.8-inch OLED screen with a strong 120 Hz refresh rate. In terms of optics at the front, we can expect a 20-megapixel selfie camera. The rear camera system offers a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens, and a 48-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. 

Just like Mi 11, Mi 11 Ultra will also be powered by Snapdragon 888. It runs on MIUI 12.5 global build. The smartphone houses a 5,000mAh battery and is paired with 67W fast wired charging and 10W reverse charging. Another thing to notice in this leak is that the smartphone comes with Harman Kardon dual speakers and an in-screen fingerprint reader.

ZURICH, Switzerland, February 12, 2021/ — Two years to the day of signing a Memorandum of Understanding between the two organisations, African Union (AU) Chairperson Félix Tshisekedi and FIFA President Gianni Infantino have discussed an action plan that will accelerate several aspects of the agreement aimed at contributing for the benefit of African society, and, in particular, younger generations.

“I was delighted to speak with AU Chairperson who is a passionate football fan, and as FIFA and the AU have been working together for some time now, I am sure that under Félix Tshisekedi’s leadership our organisations will find ways to reinforce our joint efforts in many areas such as our ‘Football for Schools’ education project, the fight against match manipulation and any form of corruption, as well as safety and security at football matches across the continent,” the FIFA President said.

 “We are encouraged by FIFA’s willingness to engage with Africa, and to use football as a force for good across the continent, and by working as close partners with the AU to ensure that we are playing our part in the continued development of the sport across the African continent,” the AU Chairperson and President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo said.

Speaking by videoconference prior to the FIFA Club World Cup final, the two leaders discussed a range of initiatives from the role that football through education can play in developing life skills for children, be that respecting rules and showing respect to match officials, or by encouraging teamwork and cooperation in order to succeed. It was agreed that both AU and FIFA shared a mutual vision for education through football, and further discussions to identify opportunities are now being planned for a face-to-face meeting between both leaders in Kinshasa in the near future. 

The call provided the FIFA President with the opportunity to follow-up on previous discussions with H.E. Félix Tshisekedi’s predecessor, H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa, and to assure the new AU Chairperson that FIFA and football remain totally committed to maintaining the close cooperation and teamwork that has been built up between both organisations in the past two years.  

The FIFA President also outlined the FIFA COVID-19 Relief Plan, while also stressing the important investment made to support the 54 African member associations through FIFA Forward, which has already delivered close to 300 projects across the continent since Gianni Infantino’s first election in 2016.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 to have a starting price of ₹ 29,500 in India

Having announced this budget GPU back at CES 2021, finally, we have a launch date and the Indian pricing of the entry-level RTX 30-series GPU. The RTX 3060 has been priced at $329 in the US and in India, the card will be priced at a modest ₹ 29,500 for the reference model.

Obviously, if the speculation is correct the availability date is set for February 25 at 6 AM Pacific Time or 7:30 PM IST. Also, the availability of these new and powerful GPUs will be matter to be seen as the GPU stocks have been disastrous worldwide.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 12GB GDDR6 memory to launch on February 25

As most gamers love the GTX series of GPUs, the budget RTX 3060 will be an important card for a lot of budget gamers. The RTX 3060 brings amazing hardware ray-tracing capabilities and support for NVIDIA DLSS and other technologies with its efficient, high-performance architecture and the second generation of NVIDIA RTX.

The RTX 3060 brings amazing hardware ray-tracing capabilities and support for NVIDIA DLSS and other technologies with its efficient, high-performance architecture and the second generation of NVIDIA RTX.

NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti for ₹ 35,900 earlier which has seen a massive demand from the gamers after it was on par with previous generation’s GeForce RTX 2080 Super. We have already reviewed the Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti on our website.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 12GB GDDR6 memory to launch on February 25

The RTX 3060’s key specifications include:

  • 13 shader-TFLOPs
  • 25 RT-TFLOPs for ray tracing
  • 101 tensor-TFLOPs to power NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling)
  • 192-bit memory interface
  • 12GB of GDDR6 memory

The RTX 3060 should give a strong performance, thanks to the 12GB GDDR6 performance and new ray-tracing cores. Although NVIDIA is confident to satisfy the huge demand of gamers, only time will tell if both NVIDIA and its AIB partners can provide the RTX 3060 at the MSRP.

Jerome Boateng one of Chelsea’s transfer targets

Jerome Boateng is being rumoured to be one of the targets for Chelsea in the summer transfer window. Thomas Tuchel is an admirer of the German and believes that he can get the best out of the player should he choose England as his next destination, he is out of contract next season and could join for free. 

However, he is only one of the names on the Blues’ transfer list for a new centre-back and negotiations with Bayern Munich are not trying to get him to stay. The Bavarians are already looking towards Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzig as a replacement for the 2014 World Cup winner. 

There is currently no agreement between the two parties yet, but things will develop in the weeks and months to come as the season ends. 

Boateng has been a part of the Bayern Munich squad since joining the club in 2011 from Manchester City for a fee worth €13.5 million. During that time, he has managed to establish himself as one of the top centre-backs of the decade gone by.

Along with a plethora of Bundesliga titles, Boateng has managed to win the Champions League twice with the Bavarians and will leave an unbelievable legacy when he eventually departs the club.
