    Xiaomi Launches Mi Pay Mobile Payment Service In India

    With online payments and mobile wallets becoming the most favoured and popular method of payments in recent years, more and more companies are stepping into this arena. With Paytm, Google Pay and PhonePay already ruling the Indian market, a new player was nowhere in sight. However, in a surprising move, smartphone giant Xiaomi has now launched their mobile payment service. It is called Mi Pay and the beta testing for the same is now going live.

    Mi Pay

    The Mi Pay service is a platform that is supported by ICICI Bank and PayU in India. With the service you can make payments using UPI, debit cards, credit cards and internet banking. It also allows you to pay bills or do mobile and DTH recharges. It also includes phone bills, electricity bills and water bills. The service has been cleared by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) for large group usage. 

    The beta testing will soon be available for MIUI users, according to Xiaomi. You can sign up for the beta testing for the same here. The company also announced that the service will support all leading credit and debit cards at the time of the launch.

    Additionally, Xiaomi highlights the advantages that Mi Pay has over other payment services. They say that the best feature is the deep integration with MIUI. This makes transferring amounts to contacts and vendors very easily. Mi Pay will also be integrated with Contacts, SMS, Scanner as well as App Vault in MIUI. According to the company, al user-generated data will be kept in a highly encrypted format ‘within the India- based cloud infrastructure’.

    Motorola Mobility launched the Moto G6 Series of smartphones earlier this year. In terms of design, the Moto G6 smartphones were a big leap from its previous generations. The smartphones got all-new glass backs and an 18:9 aspect ratio screen. The company is gearing up for the launch of the Moto G7 smartphones, of which the renders have leaked online. The leaked renders extensively showcase the design of each G7 smartphone. The upcoming series of smartphones include the Moto G7, Moto G7 Plus, Moto G7 Power and the Moto G7 Play. The renders reveal that the devices will have an all-new front and back design.

     Design

    Going by the previous generation Motorola G smartphones, the Moto G7, and Moto G7 will be the pricier and feature-rich devices out of the four. While the Moto G7 Power and the Moto G7 Play will be low specced, more affordable options. The G7/G7 Plus duo and the G7 Power/G7 Play duo have similar designs. The front of Moto G7 and G7 Plus smartphones have thin bezels around the display and a small waterdrop notch. Similarly, the Moto G7 Power and G7 Play have thin bezels around the display but these devices have a wide notch instead of dewdrop notch on their elder siblings.

    Another differentiating feature is the rear camera setup, the Moto G7/G7 Plus have dual rear cameras whereas the Moto G7 Power/G7 Play have single rear cameras.  Most notably, all members of the Moto G7 family now have a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, unlike the previous generation smartphones which had front fingerprint sensors.

The Galaxy S10 Lite will be the cheapest smartphone out of the three and has the model number SM-G970. The Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10 Plus are believed to carry SM-G973 and SM-G975 model numbers respectively. A few weeks after the launch of these devices, Samsung will also launch a 5G capable variant of the Galaxy S10.

  • Nikon Officially Discontinues D5500 And D7200 DSLR Cameras

    Nikon Officially Discontinues D5500 And D7200 DSLR Cameras

    Nikon has finally announced the discontinuance of the popular D5500 and D7200 cameras. Rumours about the same were doing rounds of the internet for the longest time, but it seems like Nikon has finally done it. Both the cameras were released in 2015 and Nikon has better options with even better specifications at the moment. It seems like a good time to discontinue them, as the 24 Megapixel Dx body D5500 was getting old and featured old technology and so did the D7200.

    The D5500 was available in several different bundles with different body and lens combinations at  the time of it’s discontinuation. The first bundle was priced at Rs. 61,950 with D-ZOOM KIT: AF-P 18-55mm VR + AF-S 55-200mm VRII Kit Lenses. The second bundle available was for Rs. 65,950 which had the AF-S 18-140mm VR Kit Lens. It also had a cheaper option for  Rs. 52,950 with AF-S 18-55mm VRII Kit Lens. The camera was worth Rs. 47,450 for the body only version. These were extremely high considering other cameras as well as Nikon’s own D5600 is priced in the similar price range. The D5600 has better specifications and so does the newer D7500. The D7200 had a price range of Rs. 1,08450 to Rs. 69,950 while the D7500 has a price range of Rs. 1,15450 to Rs. 96,950.

    This year, Nikon has forayed into the mirrorless segment as well, which are quite expensive. With the discontinuation of the older models it seems highly likely that Nikon might release newer models of the currently available D7500 and D5600 soon. While Nikon itself has discontinued the two cameras they are still available on Amazon’s India website as well as Flipkart.

  • The Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 Will Have A 48 MP Rear Camera

    The Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 Will Have A 48 MP Rear Camera

    Xiaomi has shared teasers for an upcoming smartphone on Weibo. The teaser reveals that the smartphone will carry the “Pro 2” suffix. According to the teaser, the smartphone will feature the Snapdragon 675 SoC and a massive 48 MP camera. Earlier this month, Xiaomi President Lin Bin shared a photo of a smartphone that had a 48 MP rear camera and a report claims that it will be a Redmi device. The same report also claims that the upcoming Redmi smartphone will have an in-display cutout for the front-facing camera like the Samsung Galaxy A8s and Huawei Nova 4.

    The Redmi Pro 2

    All the reports suggest that the upcoming smartphone is the Redmi Pro 2. It is the successor to the Redmi Pro which was launched back in 2016. The Pro suffix smartphones are the flagship devices for Xiaomi’s Redmi series and the same is expected from the Redmi Pro 2. Except for the camera and processor information, not many details of the Redmi 2 Pro are available. However, being the successor to the Redmi Pro, it is expected to have better specifications than the latter.

    Redmi Pro

    The Redmi Pro has a brushed aluminium back. The smartphone has wide top and bottom bezels. The bottom bezel houses the physical home button/fingerprint sensor and two capacitive touch buttons. The smartphone has a 72.2% screen to body ratio display.

    • Display: 5.5-inch AMOLED Full HD 1920 × 1080 pixels, 401 ppi, 16:9 aspect ratio
    • Operating System: MIUI, Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)
    • Processor: Deca-Core Mediatek Helio X25
    • RAM: 4 GB/3 GB
    • Storage: 32 GB/64 GB/128 GB
    • Rear Cameras: 13 MP + 5 MP, Dual-LED Flash
    • Selfie Camera: 5 MP
    • Security: Fingerprint Sensor
    • Connectivity: 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, Micro USB
    • Battery: 4050 mAh
    • Dimensions: 151.5 x 76.2 x 8.2 mm
    • Weight: 174 g
    Redmi Pro 2 Design

    The Redmi Pro 2 is expected to have a similar design and build quality as its predecessor. However, the new phone will have narrower bezels and the company might move the fingerprint sensor to the rear of the device. Alternatively, the official specifications and design of the smartphone will only be available after its official launch.

    Launch Date And Price

    Although the launch date of the Redmi Pro 2 has not been announced, it is expected to launch soon. Like the Redmi Pro, it is believed to be a sub $400 smartphone.

  • Apple Accepts Some iPad Pros Ship Slightly Bent, Calls It ‘Normal’

    Apple Accepts Some iPad Pros Ship Slightly Bent, Calls It ‘Normal’

    The iPad Pro 2018 was introduced last month. The new iPad  carries a brand new design language and a killer performance, which is worthy to even replace a laptop, in some cases. The new design features slim bezels on all sides and the lack of a home button. The rectangular build sure does look great, but ran it to some problems soon after its release. Users started complaining that the new iPad Pro can be easily bent, thus comprising the integrity of the device. Now, Apple has confirmed that some of the iPads may ship bent. But they do assure customers that this will not affect the performance of the device.

    The ‘Bendgate’

    Apple says the the bend is a side effect of the manufacturing process involved in making the iPad Pro. A cooling process involving the iPad Pro’s metal and plastic components, results in this bend. They say that this should not worsen over time or negatively affect the performance of the device. Most interestingly, Apple does not consider this to be a defect. This is not limited to just one variant and both the 11 inch and 12.9 inch model of the iPad Pro can exhibit this.

    The statement from Apple is not something that they have admitted to on their own. This is a response to many customers after they took to social media to state that their iPad Pro’s developed a slight bend, without any rough usage or mistreatment of the device. Users also said that they had never applied any extra stress to the iPad Pro.

    Recently, a video by Jerryrigseverything showed him bending the iPad Pro into half without much of an effort. However, Apple still stands by the quality of its iPad Pro. A lot of experts also said that the video was a bit biased and is more of a publicity stunt. Apple claims that the device is extremely thin and is spread over a large surface area, therefore making it more susceptible to this issue. However, no one has reported this issue causing any issued in the working of the device and the iPad Pro is still the best tablet in the market right now.

  • Upcoming OnePlus Device Leaks, Shows Off Brand New Design

    Upcoming OnePlus Device Leaks, Shows Off Brand New Design

    Shortly after the launch of the OnePlus 6T, the company announced that other than the next flagship, they will be launching a 5G handset, which will belong to an entirely new lineup. Now, a leak gives us the first look at the alleged OnePlus 5G device. While some may argue that this could be the OnePlus 7 as well, the chances of the same seem to be slim as the 5G phone will launch before the OnePlus 7. 

    The biggest change we can notice right off the bat is the brand new design language. The rear of the phone houses a circular camera module. While the image is not clear enough to see whether it sports dual or triple rear cameras, we can expect something innovative emerging from this camera setup. It is possible that OnePlus might be experimenting with the newly announced Sony sensor for mobile phones. Sony had announced a 48 MP camera sensor earlier this year. The giant camera module reminds us of the Lumia phones with the unbelievably high resolution.

    The edges of the phone also seem to me more squarish when compared to the present OnePlus phones. There are two colours of the phone seen in the image, one being white and the other being red. Seeing the these are not conventional OnePlus colours, it is evident that this is a special edition phone. However, it is also highly possible that this leak could not be so credible. Either the employee who took this picture is out of a job for leaking this phone, or the company has done this on purpose, as most companies do these days.

  • Google Is Reportedly Shutting Down Its Controversial Chinese Search Engine Project

    Google Is Reportedly Shutting Down Its Controversial Chinese Search Engine Project

    Google’s Project Dragonfly has been one of the most controversial issues associated with the company in modern times. It is a ‘secret’ project taken by the internet giant to set up a search engine in China. While that seems like a pretty normal thing, it drew a lot of flak. This was due to the fact that this search engine was allegedly going to help the Chinese government ‘spy’ on users and censor and control content. But now, reports suggest that Google might have internally shut down this project.

    Project Dragonfly

    The news of the apparent shutting down of Project Dragonfly brought a lot of cheer and joy from organisations around the world. A lot of people believed that the project aided censorship and surveillance. Which added to the already ongoing Human Rights violations in China. Recently, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was also subjected to a Senate hearing, which dwelled into whether Google has been censoring and controlling content and spying on people.

    While the Senate Hearing did not bring out a judgement that might have affected Google’s decision, it seems that the entire movement against the project could have motivated the company to do so. In fact, an open letter signed by 200 engineers from Alphabet Inc, which is Google’s parent company might have added to the already existing internal conflict regarding the project. Even members of Google’s privacy team were repeatedly shut out from meetings regarding Project Dragonfly.

    Google’s Move

    All the dispute rose due to a website, 265.com. This had been purchased by Google way back in 2008. The company then used it for ‘market research’. They allegedly used it to see what Chinese users searched for on Baidu and then went ahead to build a prototype of Dragonfly based on this information. Despite all the issues, the project was one of the key efforts of Google, and receiving backing from most of its top executives. Now that the project has been shut down, we can believe that it is a move in the direction of protection of a users data and the safeguard of freedom on the internet.

    Apple iOS 12.1.2 Update Brings Fix For eSIM Activation Bugs

    The eSIM was one of the features bought in with this year’s lineup of iPhones. The feature now enables the iPhones to be dual-SIM, something that had been missing from the Apple flagship devices for a long time. However, the eSIM feature did take its sweet time to reach users, and came with its own set of bugs and issues. Now, Apple has pushed out the iOS 12.1.2 update which not only brings a way to expand the eSIM capabilities of the phone, but also fixes issues with eSIM activation.

    The release note for the update says that it fixes bugs with eSIM activation for iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. This issue was being reported by users around the world, and now is being addressed with the latest update. The update also fixes a few more things, which have to do with the issues affecting Apple in China as well. This had to do with the fact that select iPhone devices did not allegedly comply with the patent regulations set by Qualcomm. This would result in a ban in the sale of certain iPhone models, and can hurt Apple’s sales pretty bad, as China is its third largest market. 

    The iOS 12.1.2 is compatible with all iOS 11 compatible devices. This includes iPhone 5s or later, iPad mini 2 or later and 6th generation iPod touch or later. The update will be prompted automatically, however Beta testers might need to unroll their devices for the update to appear.

    The eSIM is an electronic SIM card, as the name suggests. It replaces the physical SIM cards which are used in smartphones these days.

As manufactures are looking to make phones sleeker, while sitting phones with more technology, eSIM is a great way to do the same. The eSIM also has another interesting feature. For example, you can register a number of eSIM cards on your phone, giving you the ability to switch between carriers without the need to swap out physical SIM cards every time.

  • Samsung Galaxy M20 Will Feature A 5000 mAh Battery

    Samsung Galaxy M20 Will Feature A 5000 mAh Battery

    Samsung’s plan to reshuffle it’s entire line up of phones is coming to fruition slowly and the M series’ first phone will launch soon. Several leaks have surfaced since the knowledge of the Galaxy M20 phone’s existence. However, most of the rumours have been mostly about the cosmetics and nothing was really known about the internals. But it seems that now new leaks have surfaced that details the phone and camera specifications. The phone will feature a 5000 mAh battery.

    The Leak

    There are very few phones currently in the market that have a 4500 mAh + battery. Some of these include the Motorola One Power, Honor 8X Max, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 and Moto E5 Plus. These phones generally sell quite well since battery is a huge issue for people in India. Bigger screens also require bigger batteries which is why most phablets and bigger screen phones have bigger batteries. The phone will feature a tear- drop notch and will have a dual camera setup at the back. The front camera will supposedly be 8MP and the two cameras at the back will be 13 and 5 Megapixels. The Galaxy M20 measures in at 156.4 x  74.5 x8.8.
