-

Aug 6, 2020

US President Donald Trump’s threat to ban TikTok has been in the news for quite a while and is responsible for Microsoft’s bid to acquire the social media giant’s US business. While a deal is yet to be struck, Instagram has launched its own video sharing platform that is aimed at taking on TikTok.

The platform known as Reels was first launched Brazil two months back. But now, the company has announced that the platform will be available on the Instagram app. The feature will allow users to record and edit 15-second multi-clip videos with audio, effects, and new creative tools. The feature will be made available in 50 countries.

The Instagram Reels is located in the Instagram Camera, the button in the top left corner with an overhaul of the entire interface. There are now several tools for editing. This includes adding Audio, AR Effects, Timer and Countdown for all the fun dances you want to do.

Users can share Reels the same way they share Live videos or regular posts but there is a dedicated tab on the profile where the videos will be located which makes it visible to everyone. Alternatively, only your followers can see the videos ff you set your privacy settings to Private.

There are also options of saving a reel as a draft before publishing. The cover image can also be changed and all other features that come to play when posting a video. The process of watching a ree posted by someone is also akin to viewing a regular photo or video. It appears either in the Feed or in the Discover tab. Instagram is also tagging some as “Featured” to “help users discover original content that will entertain and inspire”.

As of now, Instagram is yet to release a list of the countries where Reels will be available but Brazil, where it was tested, is definitely one of them. The feature has also launched in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, Australia, France and Germany. Let us know your experience in the comment section if you have got the feature.

As usual, the update is being rolled out in batches and hence it may take time to reach every unit out there.

Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 12 stable updates to its huge portfolio of eligible devices worldwide. As most of the high-end and mid-range smartphones have received it, the company has now turned toward budget handsets. Currently, the Remi S2 and Redmi 6 Pro from 2018 have begun to get the update in China.

Both the Redmi S2 and Redmi 6 Pro launched with MIUI 9 based on Android Oreo out of the box. They were later updated to MIUI 10, followed by Android Pie and MIUI 11. Now, they have also started to receive MIUI 12, however, only in China for now.

The MIUI 12 stable update for Redmi S2 and Redmi 6 Pro comes with build number V12.0.4.0.PEFCNXM and V12.0.1.0.PDICNXM respectively. However, it does not bring all the features like AOD+ as these phones sport LCD panels.

But it does bring all the major new features like new animations, icons, control center, revamped settings, granular privacy controls, floating windows, Dark Mode 2.0, and more.

That said, we can now expect the global variants of these handsets to get the update very soon.

MediaTek teams up with Intel to unveil the T700, its first 5G laptop chips

Aug 6, 2020

Intel was initially in the race to manufacture 5G chips but it abandoned that dream as a result of the dominance of Qualcomm. Instead, the company entered into a partnership with MediaTek to supply 5G modems for use on its laptop processors.

The partnership has yielded its first fruit and it is the T700 5G modem which according to Engadget has now been announced. The 5G modem is MediaTek’s first 5G product for laptops and it will find its way into the next-generation Intel-powered laptops.

The chip features support for Sub-6 5G and standalone 5G calls which are not dependent on the existing LTE network. In addition, MediaTek says it comes with support for non-standalone Sub-6 5G networks and is “highly power-efficient”. That means you won’t have to bother about battery life when surfing the internet on 5G or making calls.

There are already laptops wit 5G connectivity support but most of the models in the market are powered by Qualcomm’s 5G modems. This new MediaTek T700 5G will likely bring down the prices of 5G laptops packing the modem since MediaTek ‘s prices are less than Qualcomm’s. We expect to see it on laptops pretty soon.

Realme X3 Pro powered by a Snapdragon 855+ chip hits Geekbench

Aug 6, 2020

There have been several speculations regarding the Realme X3 Pro but the company is yet to officially reveal anything about the model. In the early part of this year, a Realme-branded model bearing the model number RMX2121 was spotted on TENAA and it is believed to be the X3 Pro.

A Realme model bearing a different model number has now appeared on the benchmarking app GeekBench database. The device adopts the codename RMX2083 and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ chipset. This springs up confusion as to the actual configuration of the actual X3 Pro.

The Realme X3 and X3 Superzoom are both powered by a Snapdragon 855+ so, the X3 Pro may as well pack a Snapdragon 855+ chipset. However, just recently a third model with model number RMX2170 and said to be the X3 Pro was certified by TUV Rheinland. The model packs a 65W fast charge support.

Realme has already launched the X3 and X3 Superzoom a few months back. The X3 Superzoom came with a telephoto camera which supports up to 5X optical zoom. The phone equally features up to 12 GB RAM and an impressive 32 MP selfie shooter.

At the moment, the exact specifications of the model are unknown but GeekBench shows it will have 8GB of RAM and will run on Android 10 operating system. There speculations that Realme will launch the model during its maiden appearance at IFA Berlin 2020 this September.

Qualcomm may announce a Snapdragon 860 processor chipset

Aug 6, 2020

The Snapdragon 865 Plus is Qualcomm’s latest flagship processor. The San Diego-based is expected to announce a Snapdragon 875 processor at the end of the year which will power the flagships of 2021. Now, a new leak says we may be getting a new Snapdragon 800 series chipset but one that should be less powerful than the Snapdragon 865.

According to a post on Weibo by Digital Chat Station, details from an OPPO meeting included the mention of a new processor called the Snapdragon 860. He adds that the chipset should be a lite version of the Snapdragon 875 (or Snapdragon 875G?).

We don’t have enough details on this new chipset yet but if it is already being discussed by manufacturers, then it is most likely on the way.

We believe the launch of the Snapdragon 860 will bring chaos to the Snapdragon 800 series. Only a handful of manufacturers launch phones with the previous year’s chipsets. So adding a Snapdragon 860 to the mix will mean having to choose between it, the Snapdragon 865, and the Snapdragon 865 Plus.

Aug 6, 2020

Once the Galaxy Unpacked event ended yesterday, Samsung also announced Android 11-based One UI 3 Developer Beta for the Galaxy S20 series. Currently, the program is limited to South Korean and US variants of the handset. As for the latter, only T-Mobile/Sprint and Unlocked versions are eligible.

Samsung has been long known for delivering the latest Android update to its devices later than most brands. But lately, the company has improved a lot since it brought One UI, a revamped Android skin replacing Samsung Experience, which replaced TouchWiz.

Last year, the South Korean tech giant started One UI 2.0 developer beta a month later Google released Android 10. But in 2020, the company has already opened registrations for One UI 3 based on Android 11, which is yet to be released by Google.

Additionally, at the very end of launch event yesterday, Samsung also promised three generations of Android updates to its flagship smartphones from Galaxy S10 series.

That means the current-gen Samsung flagships will receive up to Android 13 and the last-gen devices will receive up to Android 12. Though the software support is not as good as on iPhones, it is surely better than in previous years.

Having said, below-listed are the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ (Plus), and Galaxy S20 Ultra models eligible for One UI 3 Developer Beta for the time being.
