Amazon’s Luna cloud gaming service, which was first announced in 2020 and has been available as an early access project for a limited number of customers through an invite-only “early access” program. Now, it has been officially launched in the United States.
The cloud gaming service has formally launched in the mainland US and is available for users of Android, iOS, Chrome OS, macOS, and Windows.
The Luna+ service, which is a core offering from the company, is priced at $10 per month and gives access to more than 100 games. There are also kid-friendly Family Channel and Ubisoft+ Channels costing $6 and $18 per month respectively.
However, those who subscribe to the service in the month of March will get the Luna+ service for a discounted price of $6 per month and the Family channel for $3 a month. Those who are already subscribed to the service will have their current pricing locked.
Unlike other cloud gaming services like Google Stadia where users can purchase individual games for playing, the Amazon Luna works differently as users have to subscribe to channels that come with their own bundles of games.
Apart from the Luna+ and Ubisoft+ channels, the company is also offering Prime Gaming Channel that offers Amazon Prime members a selection of free games to play. There’s also a Retro Channel with classic games. The company also has a Jackbox Games Channel and is debuting a new “Luna Couch” feature that lets other people join in playing even if they don’t subscribe to Luna themselves. Both the Retro Channel and Jackbox Games Channel have been priced at $4.99 per month.
Amazon is also debuting a new feature for Luna in which it is leveraging Twitch by adding native support for one-click broadcasting. Just by a simple press of a button on Luna, users can instantly live stream the game with a camera feed overlay.
Apple has recently halted all sales of its products from its official website in Russia. So now, you can longer buy its iPhones, Macs, and other products in the region, which is due to the ongoing Russian invasion into Ukraine.
Via MacRumors
Notably, the news arrives after the Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov wrote a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, urging the Cuptertino based giant to stop all product sales and terminate its services in Russia. Now, the iPhone maker has revealed in a statement that it has stopped all exports into the sales channel of the country. Furthermore, it has also disabled traffic and live incidents on the Apple Maps in Ukraine for the safety of Ukrainian citizens.
The company stated that “We have taken a number of actions in response to the invasion. We have paused all product sales in Russia. Last week, we stopped all exports into our sales channel in the country. Apple Pay and other services have been limited. RT News and Sputnik News are no longer available for download from the App Store outside Russia. And we have disabled both traffic and live incidents in Apple Maps in Ukraine as a safety and precautionary measure for Ukrainian citizens. We will continue to evaluate the situation and are in communication with the relevant governments on the actions we are taking. We join all those around the world who are calling for peace.”
Tim Cook further added that Apple will be matching all donations from its employees at a 2:1 ratio for eligible organizations. At the moment, the App Store is still live in Russia, but, Apple Pay has been limited and certain services are now unavailable in the country. The move from the company also arrives after US sanctions that sought to prevent the brand from exporting select products to the country. While Apple did not immediately respond to these US sanctions, it seems that it responded to the letter from Ukraine.

POCO is expected to launch a new smartwatch soon in the market. Last time, a POCO smartwatch with the model number M2131W1 was spotted on Russian Electronic Certification revealing its existence. Now, the smartwatch has bagged SGS certification in Belgium revealing the charging details of the device.

As of now, there’s no specs leak of the POCO smartwatch, nor the company has revealed any details. However, back in November last year, a POCO executive confirmed that the brand will expand its ecosystem portfolio with several IoT products. It means that there could be more wearables and other ecosystem devices apart from this POCO smartwatch.

Last year, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei launched his new venture named Nothing and then went on to launch its first-ever product — Nothing Ear (1), true wireless earphones with an affordable price tag aiming to take on premium offerings in the market.
Now, the company seems to be gearing up to launch a new product, and based on the latest teaser from the brand’s official social media account, it appears that the new product will get launched by the end of this month.
So far, there’s no information about what product Nothing is planning to launch but it was earlier revealed that the brand is working on five new products, ranging from power bank and wireless earphones to a smartphone.
Recent reports have revealed that the company’s upcoming power bank could be named Nothing Power (1) and the brand’s first smartphone could be called Nothing Phone (1). Both of these products are reportedly slated to launch by the end of this year.
A few weeks ago, there was a Twitter thread from Carl Pei which hinted that the company is working on a new smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon-series processor and running the Android operating system.
The company has also shared a photo on Twitter that shows a transparent frame of what appears to be a smartphone but it could also be something else. But given the teasers, it’s likely that the next product from the brand will also have a transparent body, similar to what it did with the Nothing Ear (1).
There’s a possibility that the company could announce a product this month but the actual launch maybe a few weeks or months away. As of now, there’s nothing concrete available about what the company is planning to do next.

Lenovo has recently launched the ThinkVision M14d Mobile monitor for professionals who like to be on the move. The 2K monitor is extremely slim and light making it the perfect solution for your portable small screen needs.
The ThinkVision M14d is the successor of the ThinkVision M14t (touch) and the ThinkVision M14. But this time around, it comes with a 16:10 aspect ratio as most business and professional-oriented laptops have been making a move towards the 16:10 aspect ratio.

Huawei has been struggling in the smartphone business ever since sanctions have been imposed on the company by the United States. Despite the difficulties, it keeps launching new smartphones in the market.
The company’s flagship smartphone — Huawei P50 Pro was first launched in July last year in the Chinese market. Now, Huawei has launched a new variant of the device, dubbed Huawei P50 Pro Weilan Haohai Edition, which is now up for sale in China.
The Huawei P50 Pro Weilan Haohai Edition comes in a blue-colored body with a water wave-like effect on the back panel. The device packs 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage and is priced at 7,988 yuan, which is about $1,265.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is currently the most expensive Android phone and it has no compromises in terms of specifications. It even adds a few important killer features making it innovative and suitable for productivity. But a few months ago, Google released a top-tier flagship as well, and a lot of people will opt for it because of the amazing Google software support. Is the Google Pixel 6 Pro able to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or has Samsung released a better flagship once again? This is a comparison between their specifications which will let you find out.

Design
Google paid a lot of attention to the design of its brand new Pixel 6 Pro. This handset comes with a very original design including a horizontal camera module, two different colors for its glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and an aluminum frame. The phone is more compact than Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Coming to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it has an original design too, different from its predecessor Galaxy S21 Ultra. It looks like a Galaxy Note and it even comes with an integrated S Pen. But it is chunkier and less original than the Pixel 6 Pro, that is the reason why I personally prefer the Google flagship.
Display
Samsung is the absolute leader of the display sector and the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a definitely better screen than the Google Pixel 6 Pro. It is an AMOLED panel with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, a Quad HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, the Gorilla Glass Victus Plus protection, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader. Last but not least, it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing. Despite being inferior, the Google Pixel 6 Pro still comes with an amazing display, close to its rival with its Quad HD+ resolution, adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz, in-display fingerprint reader, and HDR10+.
Specs & Software
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra wins the hardware comparison because it sports a stronger processor. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is the first phone with the first Google proprietary chipset, the Google Tensor. This chipset can be a good rival of the Snapdragon 888, but it is not even close to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultram, built with a 4 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. Further, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra offers up to 1 TB of internal storage, while the Google Pixel 6 Pro stops at 512 GB. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 6 Pro will get faster software support as it is a Google phone and Google develops Android.
Camera
On the paper, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports the most advanced camera system. However, several experts believe that the Google Pixel 6 Pro provides a better photo quality. It comes with a 50 MP main camera including laser autofocus and OIS, a stunning 48 MP telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. Google’s algorithm seems to do a great job at enhancing the photo quality provided by its flagship.
Both Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Google Pixel 6 Pro come with a battery capacity close to 5000 mAh. The battery life provided by these two handsets should not be so different if we consider that they have similar hardware components in terms of efficiency.
Price
The Google Pixel 6 Pro can be purchased for less than €1000 or $900, while you need more than €1250 or $1200 to grab a unit of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Samsung flagship is a more advanced device thanks to S Pen, its great display, stronger processor, and faster charging. But the Google Pixel 6 Pro has its important pros such as software support and its amazing camera performance.

The recently announced MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chips are getting more smartphone brands lining behind to deploy the chip in their upcoming products. Redmi, OnePlus, and Oppo are the latest brands that will release one or more of their incoming models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000.
The Redmi K50 series is expected to arrive within this month although it may likely be a staggered release. At least one of the Redmi K50 models will have the Dimensity 8000 or 8100 chip. The Redmi K50 and K50 Pro are likely to be the first models to be released. The Redmi K50 Gaming is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, a seeming turnaround from its predecessor that had a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset.
A possible OnePlus Nord model could also sport the Dimensity 8100, which is a fair projection since the Nord 2 and Nord CE 2 are powered by Dimensity chips. There are also indications that the Oppo K10 series will also have some models sporting the Dimensity 8000 or 8100. Both the Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 8100 are mid-range SoCs but the Dimensity 8000 has a slightly slower GPU compared to the Dimensity 8100.
MediaTek had announced that the first models sporting its Dimensity 8000 series chips will be released by the end of Q1, 2022 and it seems the company is on course to hit a bullseye in its projections. More details about the specific models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000 series chips will become known as we inch closer to their launch from the end of March 2022.

In addition to this, Sheth shared that the company is experimenting with different smartphone form factors to bring to the commercial market. Interestingly, the company is also taking a look at the foldable form-factor meaning that we can expect a foldable from the Realme soon. Unfortunately, Sheth didn’t reveal the launch timeline of the foldable device.
Moreover, a Realme smartphone with Under-display camera(UDC) technology is also in the works. This UDC phone will be released sometime in H2 this year. We can expect the GT Neo3 and this device to arrive at a similar time frame.
Last year, Realme showcased the MagDart magnetic charging system that’s similar to Apple’s MagSafe. However, it is yet to be commercialized. Sheth also had a few words on this, he said that the MagDart’s launch is due since it offers a few comprises, despite being optimized. He revealed that the MagDart charging technology comes with a compromise of either a thicker phone or a smaller battery capacity.
The Bangaluru based EV company, Simple Energy has now launched a new configuration of their existing e-scooter dubbed the Simple One. With the new configuration, the electric scooter now comes with two removable batteries compared to the single removable battery option of the previous version. Other than the added battery capacity, the new Simple One trim will retain the other specs and features of the previous model.
Simple One range upgrades
The previous version of the Simple One scooter offered a total battery capacity of 4.8kWh, which has now been increased to 6.4kWh giving the scooter a maximum range of 300+ km on a single charge. This new option makes the Simple One electric scooter the leader in range offered for a full charge (Indian e-scooter market).
Other than that, the scooter has a motor that allows it to maintain 96 percent efficiency even when operating at its maximum output of 8.5 kW and 72 Nm torque. Other than that, the Simple One accelerates from 0-40 km/h in just 2.85 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 105 km/h.
Its features include a touchscreen instrument cluster with onboard navigation and Bluetooth and 4G connectivity. Access to music and calls are via the user’s smartphone. It gets LED lighting at the front and rear and 30 liters under-seat storage along with a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Suhas Rajkumar, Founder, and CEO of Simple Energy stated that “When we conceived the Simple One, we had the aim of offering an electric scooter that could offer enough range for users to not have to worry about range or charging. Offering an extra battery will allow power users to reach destinations that no other electric two-wheeler in India can. This additional battery can easily fit in the boot of the scooter offering a range of over 300 km. This is a big milestone – not just for Simple Energy, but for the EV industry. This move will also go a long way in bolstering the perception of electric scooters.”
Simple One with an additional battery pack is priced at Rs 1.44 lakhs(ex-showroom). The traditional non-additional battery variant will be available for Rs 1.09 lakh(ex-showroom). As for the specs of the non-additional battery variant, it comes with a total battery capacity of 4.8kWh which nets it a range of 236 km (real-world 203 km).
