Realme is gearing up to launch its latest generation of Narzo series smartphones in India soon. However, prior to an official announcement, a new leak has offered us a first look at the upcoming device’s brand new design.

Realme Narzo 60 leaked with Martian Horizon design

According to a 91Mobiles report, a source close to the matter has revealed the design of the Chinese smartphone maker’s new Narzo 60 smartphone. This leak offers us a first look at the device and showcases a design that the company calls the ‘Martian Horizon’. As the name suggests, the brand is taking inspiration from the fourth planet in our solar system, Mars. Looking at the leaked image, we can see the Narzo 60’s rear panel in all its glory.

The device features a large circular camera island on an orange rear panel. This bright color is clearly inspired by the Martian landscape, although, the design of this device looks quite similar to the Realme 11 Pro series that was recently launched in India. The designs are especially similar when it comes to the rear camera module. While finer details are unclear, the back of the Narzo 60 series also appears to feature a faux leather design, similar to the 11 Pro series.

Apart from this, the image reveals that the right side of the device houses the volume rockers and power buttons. The sides feature an aluminum frame and the corners are rounded as well. Unfortunately, key specs of the new Realme Narzo 60 series are still unclear, but it is expected to launch in at least one variant with a massive 1TB of internal storage.

WhatsApp discontinues Electron-based desktop app

Jun 27, 2023

WhatsApp has recently announced the deprecation of its Electron-based desktop application, signaling the end-of-life stage for the software. Windows users who open the Electron version of the app will now be prompted to transition to the newly introduced native app for continued access to WhatsApp on their desktop devices. This move comes as WhatsApp aims to provide users with an optimized, stable, and feature-rich messaging experience on their computers.

Why WhatsApp Decided to Deprecate the Electron-Based Desktop App

The deprecation of the Electron app was not entirely unexpected, as WhatsApp had been notifying users for over four weeks through a countdown displayed on the app’s main screen. With this announcement, the Electron-based WhatsApp desktop application, which has served as a solution for using WhatsApp on desktop devices, officially comes to an end after years of operation based on the Electron framework.

Upon opening the Electron-based WhatsApp Desktop application, users will now encounter an expiration message, clearly stating that the app is no longer supported and encouraging them to switch to the new native app in order to continue using WhatsApp on their Windows computers. However, it’s worth noting that the deprecation currently only applies to the Windows version, as the native app has been stable since last year.

The Electron framework, utilized by the deprecated app, allowed developers to create cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies. While it provided compatibility across different operating systems, the performance was not always optimized, often resulting in resource-heavy usage. In contrast, native apps offer a smoother and more intuitive user interface, improved responsiveness, and enhanced stability. Hence, WhatsApp’s decision to invest in developing a native solution for its users.

However, some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the rapid deprecation, as the native Windows application currently lacks certain business features. This limitation restricts users from utilizing essential tools for effective customer communication, such as quick replies and catalog management.

To continue using WhatsApp on their Windows computers, users can download the native desktop app from the Microsoft Store. For those who rely on business tools, utilizing WhatsApp Web temporarily may serve as a viable solution. It is anticipated that WhatsApp will promptly release business features for the native app to address the concerns of users in need of essential business functionalities.

Flipkart has just announced a brand new exchange program for electronic devices. An exchange program isn’t a new concept, however, the popular e-retailer in India is offering a new form of exchange that will even accept smartphones and appliances that are no longer working.

Flipkart launches exchange program for non-functional smartphones & appliances

As per official notes, the company will be accepting electronic gadgets like smartphones, feature phones, and other appliances that are non-functional. Typically, an exchange program from manufacturers or popular retailers lets you exchange your older devices for newer models with benefits in the form of discounts. The exchange value also depends on the condition of the old devices at times but usually requires them to function as they were originally intended and not completely non-functional.

But this is where Flipkart steps in with its new exchange program that is apparently being offered to help users dispose of their broken appliances. The brand is also claiming that the move will help in the reduction of electronic waste. For this, it is even partnering up with authorized vendors to dispose of these old gadgets properly, refurbish them into better condition, or even recycle them.

Furthermore, the new program also promises to offer great buyback offers along with doorstep pick-up for these non-functioning devices. Flipkart states that it will even take measures to erase data from mobile gadgets like smartphones and laptops to ensure data security as well. This is a notable offering in India, considering the fact that the region is the world’s 3rd largest in terms of e-waste generation.

OnePlus Nord 3 to get flagship-grade Sony IMX890 primary camera with OIS support

By

Jun 27, 2023

It is now confirmed that OnePlus will be launching the new OnePlus Nord 3 on July 5 across the globe. Said to be a rebrand of the OnePlus Ace 2V from China, the device will feature a similar design and mostly similar specs. However, there is one major upgrade coming for the global market in the camera department.

Tipster Ishan Agarwal has leaked promo material of the OnePlus Nord 3, revealing that it will feature a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor for the primary camera with OIS. For those unaware, this is a flagship-level camera sensor that the brand has already used in devices like the OnePlus 11 and the OnePlus 11R. The promo material also reveals that the device will have up to 16GB RAM and will also support the RAM-Vita (virtual RAM) feature.

The addition of this sensor will undoubtedly enhance the camera capabilities of the device. However, it is important to acknowledge that the overall camera performance relies heavily on the image signal processing capabilities of the system-on-a-chip (SoC). While the 11 and 11R smartphones are equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 8 Plus Gen 1 chipsets, respectively, the Nord 3 will showcase the Dimensity 9000 chipset developed by MediaTek. It will be intriguing to observe how effectively this chip can harness the potential of the Sony IMX890 sensor, considering the different hardware and software components involved.

In terms of the camera setup, leaks suggest a triple rear camera system, which will likely consist of a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro unit. Selfie enthusiasts can anticipate a 16MP front-facing camera.

Other features of the device could include dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a 4129.8mm(sq) VC cooling chamber, an Alert Slider, NFC functionality, an X-Axis Linear motor, and an IR blaster. Lastly, the software onboard is expected to be OxygenOS 13.1 based on Android 13.

Jun 27, 2023

In a recent report by Max Corbridge and Tom Ellson of JUMPSEC, a renowned security analysis company, a critical vulnerability has been uncovered in the latest version of Microsoft Teams. This vulnerability poses a serious threat as it allows hackers to bypass client security controls, infiltrate other teams, and spread malicious programs containing Trojan horse viruses.

Microsoft Teams is key in a lot of organizations’ communication structure, which adds to the risk

Microsoft Teams, a popular collaboration platform, enables users with a Microsoft account to establish a “business or organization.” This feature allows users from one organization to communicate with those from another. However, JUMPSEC’s team identified a flaw in the system’s logic, exploiting which they were able to circumvent security controls in a mere 10 minutes, subsequently sending a harmful program to users in other organizations.

While Microsoft has acknowledged this vulnerability, it has yet to inform its users regarding the process of fixing it. In the meantime, JUMPSEC recommends that Microsoft Teams users take immediate action to protect themselves. Users can disable specific options in the settings to prevent hackers from exploiting this vulnerability and sending malicious programs to their teams.

The severity of this vulnerability cannot be overstated. With the potential for unauthorized access to sensitive data, the risk to organizations and their users is significant. A lot of big (and small) organizations use Microsoft Teams for a major part of their operations, which could be a gold mine for hackers. Microsoft’s delay in addressing this issue is a cause for concern, as it leaves countless users vulnerable to cyberattacks.

In light of this development, it is crucial for Microsoft Teams users to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding their accounts and data. Regularly checking for software updates and following recommended security practices can help mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability. It is expected that Microsoft will prioritize the resolution of this vulnerability, given the potential impact it could have on users and organizations alike. In the meanwhile, users should remain cautious and take proactive measures to protect themselves from potential cyber threats.

In a surprising breakthrough, Microsoft has unveiled its latest language model, Phi-1, with 1.3 billion parameters. Contrary to the conventional belief that larger models perform better, Microsoft’s approach focuses on the quality of the training data. Phi-1, trained on a meticulously curated “textbook-level” dataset, has outperformed GPT-3.5 with 100 billion parameters.

The training time for Microsoft’s model was merely 4 days

Microsoft’s Phi-1 language model, built on the Transformer architecture, has garnered attention for its impressive performance. The team behind Phi-1 placed emphasis on the quality of training data, a departure from the prevailing trend of increasing model stack size. Using a high-quality dataset consisting of “textbook-level” content sourced from the internet, the Microsoft team processed the information using GPT-3.5. With the assistance of 8 Nvidia A100 GPUs, the training process was completed in just four days.

According to Microsoft, the focus on enhancing training data quality, rather than escalating parameter count, has yielded promising results. In comparative tests, Phi-1 achieved an accuracy score of 50.6%, surpassing GPT-3.5’s performance of 47% with a staggering 175 billion parameters.

Microsoft plans to open source Phi-1 on HuggingFace, further strengthening the accessibility and collaborative potential of this language model. This isn’t the first instance of Microsoft developing a smaller language model; previously, they introduced Orca, a 13 billion parameter model trained on synthetic data using GPT-4. Even Orca has proven to outperform ChatGPT. The research paper on Phi-1 has been published on arXiv, providing detailed insights into its architecture and training methodology. For those interested in exploring the technical aspects, the paper offers a comprehensive overview of Phi-1’s development.

Microsoft’s Phi-1 language model challenges the notion that increased stack size is essential for improved performance.
