OnePlus has officially announced today that they are going to start the pre-ordering of the OnePlus Nord from tomorrow. @onepluslitezthing in their Instagram story has made it clear that the phone will be up for pre-orders up to 100 units. Though there’s still no word on which regions will be eligible for the pre-order. We already know the phone is coming to Europe and India which narrows down the choices.
OnePlus Nord will be the final name of the upcoming budget smartphone of the brand. It is going to be another segment and a new segment in which the company is trying to enter. From the very beginning, the smartphone maker is making high-end premium smartphones with top-notch specifications and from the past few years, the brand has gained good momentum and name both. Recently the brand has launched a new Instagram page which is now named “oneplus.nord” which clearly indicates the name of the upcoming smartphone.
Recently the Instagram account has shared an IGTV video where they are showing the New Beginning episode 1 and there discussed the various hurdles and processes of making this smartphone. First off, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that the upcoming phone will come with a sub $500 price tag.
According to the latest rumors the OnePlus Nord may launch on July 10. The IGTV video ends with a hint that we can get more information on this smartphone on July 7. Though there is no special announcement regarding the launch date, we can still expect that this smartphone will launch within next month.
Vivo X50 made a debut in China a few weeks ago. The smartphone is launched with a gimbal camera along with its Pro version. Both smartphones are premium devices. But there is some news about the Vivo X50 Pro+ which is said to be launched around next month but there is no such concrete news about the smartphone yet.
Recently Vivo India has shared the video of Vivo X50 that came with a “coming soon” tag. This means that the smartphone is undoubtedly coming soon in India. The video is here:
Chinese Vivo X50 Specification:
Vivo X50 runs on the Android 10 (Q) operating system. The phone is powered by Octa-core (2.4 GHz, Single core, Kryo 475 + 2.2 GHz, Single core, Kryo 475 + 1.8 GHz, Hexa Core, Kryo 475) processor. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G Chipset. It has 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage. Vivo X50 is powered by a 4200mAh battery. The Vivo X50 supports proprietary fast charging.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the Vivo X50 on the rear packs a 48MP primary camera with an f/1.6 aperture; a second 13MP camera with an f/2.48 aperture; a third 8MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a fourth 5MP camera with an f/2.48 aperture. It sports a 32MP camera on the front for selfies, with an f/2.48 aperture.

The Vivo X50 price starts at CNY 3,498 (roughly Rs.37,100) for the base 8GB + 128GB model.

MediaTek and Xiaomi has shared a great partnership over the years as a smartphone chipmaker and a smartphone maker respectively. Xiaomi, with its huge resources tried to develop its own chips in past few years but it failed ultimately.
There’s no denial of the fact that the Chinese smartphone giant has sourced increasingly more processors and a brand new report indicates that both companies will collaborate to develop a brand new custom made smartphone processor for future smartphones.
This can actually makes sense because of its failure in past, Xiaomi is partnering with the Silicon giant to readily make its custom chips, like we saw with Microsoft and AMD for custom SoCs for laptops. To implement own set of features and optimizations Xiaomi can use its skill and technology by MediaTek.
The cooperation between Xiaomi and MediaTek is quite in-depth. In addition to the previous exclusive Tianji 820 and the upcoming Tianji 1000 series, there will be customized chips to be sent [笑 cry]
Both the companies share amazing collaborative projects like the Redmi Note 8 Pro, which was the first device equipped with the Helio G90T chip. Likewise, the newer Redmi 10X smartphone was also the first to feature the newer Dimensity 820 SoC.
According to rumours, a brand new Redmi smartphone with Dimensity 1000++ processor will launch later this year, so custom constructed processor is not far fetched. Xiaomi’s move would all in accord with the latest trend of OEMs switching towards custom-constructed or developed chips for their own offerings.
The information arrives from Digital Chat Station, a famous leakster, which revealed the info on his Weibo account. However, how much reliable the tipster is, still we can take this information with a grain of salt but you can never totally deny the possibility of Mediatek and Xiaomi’s collaboration for custom chip development.
Moto G5 images are now teased by @evleaks in twitter. The leakster has shared the full body design of the smartphone. The name suggests that the smartphone is 5G enabled. This is another addition to the Moto G family. From the image shared it can be seen that the smartphone will have a long display with dual punch hole camera at front and quad cameras at back.
There is a longitudinal flashlight placed beside the rear rectangular cut camera bump. The fingerprint sensor is mounted at the side. It looks more like the moto Power with such a long display. The primary camera is said to be of 48MP and such a rectangular cutout is first in Moto smartphone.
According to all the leaks, the Moto G 5G can feature the Snapdragon 765 chipset and maybe the most affordable smartphone from the company. There is no particular news from the brand regarding this smartphone so we have to wait for more information. Moreover, there is no such concrete information about its specifications also.
Today Amazon announced a Prime Video feature in the US for the co-viewing purpose. It is called ‘Watch Party’ that allows Amazon Prime Subscribers to watch any of the available content together at the same time. The control of the playback will be in the host’s hands.
The host’s activity on the playback will be directly reflected to the other screens throughout the session as all are synced there. Each time maximum of 100 users can join. All of them need to have a Prime subscription and location within the US during the Party.
Along with the viewing facility, there is also a chat section where the viewers can communicate with others through text as well as built-in emojis.
To start hosting a ‘Watch Party’ one needs to go to his/her favorite show page and select the Watch Party icon. The system will provide a link that can be shared with others to join the session. Point to note, this facility is available only to the web version (accessible through all browsers except Apple’s Safari). Other platforms like mobiles, TVs, tablets are not supported currently.
In the case of range, the ‘Watch Party’ facility is available across more than 70 Amazon Prime Video titles and they are adding more. But it would not be available for the rented or purchased titles.
This feature, probably, is in Beat format and may expand its availability after getting ready for the customers.

The post also mentioned that the brand is trying to make an affordable smartphone that can be accessible to everyone. In the above video at the mark 5:57, there is a smartphone with a dual-front camera and Type-C charging port. At the mark 6:14, we can see an odd-looking triple camera setup. We still don’t know if that is the final design or not. The rear camera sensors in the images look more like the iPhone 11. The prototype phone is shown in pale yellow colour and with a glass back.
According to the latest rumors the OnePlus Nord may launch on July 10. The IGTV video ends with a hint that we can get more information on this smartphone on July 7. Though there is no special announcement regarding the launch date, we can still expect that this smartphone will launch within next month.
As the season resumed on 11th May, Barcelona had a 2 points lead over their arch-rivals Real Madrid. Straight-forward to 5 matchdays, Barcelona are 2 points behind Real Madrid. It has been a not-so-good run for the Blaugranas after the Coronavirus break.
After winning the first 3 matches, Barcelona drew their last two matches with Athletic Club and Celta Vigo. After the draw with Athletic Club, they were still on level points with Real Madrid, though Madrid was ahead on the league table courtesy of better head-to-head record this season.
But the late Iago Aspas’ freekick goal to draw the match has hurt Barcelona too deeply. They now sit 2 points behind league leaders Real Madrid. In this situation, the team you want to face the least is Atletico Madrid. Simeone’s team knows how to defend and with Oblak, under the bars, their goal is pretty much secured.
Atletico is on also a fine run of form. They were in sixth place when the season resumed but have won all their five matches and now sit in third place. They have only conceded 23 times in 32 games and will surely give Barcelona a lot of headache.
If Barcelona drops any further point in this match, their title race seems to be over as Real Madrid aren’t showing any signs of slowing down. They have won all of their five matches with Zidane rotating the squad very nicely.
So this seems to be a do-or-die match for Barcelona. On the other hand, Atletico will look to upset the reigning champions to give their neighbour club, Real Madrid a very good chance of lifting the LaLiga trophy.
Barcelona will be without the services of injured duo Ousmane Dembele and Frenkie De Jong, although Sergio Busquets will return having missed the weekend 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo through suspension. Atletico Madrid has defenders Mario Hermoso and Sime Vrsaljko injured, along with Stefan Savic and Koke both suspended.
When is the Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid LaLiga match?
The LaLiga match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will be played on 30th June, 2020.
Where will be the match played?
The match will be played at Barcelona’s home ground, Camp Nou.
What time does the match kickoff?
The match will kick-off at 1:30 AM IST (Wednesday, 1st July).
Which TV channels will broadcast thematch in India?
Unfortunately, no TV channels in India will broadcast the match live.
How can you watch the live streaming of the match in India?

England all-rounder Ben Stokes says he hasn’t “dived into the whole idea” of captaincy yet, but will consider it a “huge honour” if he gets to lead England for a Test match.
Ben Stokes will take over as the captain Joe Root will be missing the test due to birth of his second child. Stokes is yet to get the confirmation of him being the captain.
“I haven’t really dived into it yet,” Stokes said during a virtual press conference. “For me, at the moment it’s all about preparing and getting to the level I want to be two to three days out before the first Test match starts. But I know, because we’ve got such a big squad at the moment that there’s so many players that you’ve got to keep your eye on. Because we’re in split training at the moment it’s tough to be able to see everybody.
Captain Joe Root is awaiting the birth of his second child, and so is expected to miss at least one Test during England’s upcoming three-match series against West Indies.
“I haven’t fully dived into the whole idea yet, on purpose. I’m just waiting for the right time to do that. It’s still a long way off, so when it gets a little bit closer and it’s 100 per cent confirmed I will be in charge, I’m sure the mindset will change.”
The Odi World Cup final 2019,hero was also confident that he had learned plenty over the years from Root, and former England captain Alastair Cook. Stokes has gained the experience he required to tackle the West Indies during the Test. Beyond his own experience, Stokes spoke of how he was also planning to utilise the knowledge of the rest of his side.
Stokes is very happy as the game is once again going to happen,though the atmosphere created by the spectators on field will not be there. The game will go on in an empty stadium.

Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi is set to join Inter Milan from Real Madrid for a reported €50 million after spending 2 seasons on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
Hakimi was photographed arriving in Milan on Tuesday to get a medical for the Inter transfer. A report in AS said the 21-year-old is about to sign a five-year contract with Inter.
A product of Real’s academy, Hakimi made 16 appearances for their first-team in the 2017-18 season, but his long term prospects were limited from the consistency of Dani Carvajal along with the signing of Alvaro Odriozola in 2018.
Hakimi has made 45 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund this season, scoring 9 goals and providing 10 assists to help the team finish second in the Bundesliga. He has become a world-class right-wing-back at Dortmund.
Hakimi has published a farewell letter to the Dortmund fans on his Twitter account. He wrote: “The time has come to close a very beautiful stage in my life. After two wonderful years, I’m ready to leave this club that has given me so much joy.”
“From the first moment, the care and attention by the club and the city has been amazing. Now I know that I was right to choose Dortmund as my home two years ago. I want to thank all my teammates, the coaching staff, and all the club’s staff for the love and trust they have shown me at all times.”
“I also want to thank the wonderful fans who have supported us unconditionally in every game. I’ll never forget the yellow wall (Glebe Wand) which is simply wonderful.”
“Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me at all times. I hope that one day our paths will cross again. See you soon Borussia Dortmund!”
Inter Milan have agreed on a reported €40-50 million move for Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid. The Hakimi to Inter Milan deal is set to be finished by the end of the week as he has travelled to Milan for medical today. Even though Achraf Hakimi is bound to join the Inter Milan squad, the Moroccan star will be eligible to play for Antonio Conte only from the next season.
Hakimi was asking for the assurance of a permanent first-team role if he returned to the Bernabeu. But Zidane has trusted Dani Carvajal with the right-back role instead of Hakimi. He would have played just like Mendy plays alternately with Marcelo.
The Moroccan was not convinced with the idea and opted for a permanent transfer. His personal choice was Antonio Conte’s Inter and Real Madrid has valued his choice.
Hakimi has been used in the wings by Dortmund. Conte also plays in the same formation with three centre-backs along with two full-backs who work as wingers. This tactic will suit Hakimi very well so this transfer move is turning out to be good for all the sides involved.
