5G Connectivity Out in India by October
2022 by Reliance Jio
5G telecom services may come out in
2022 that has left everyone enthusiastic
about them with the latest news being that
Reliance Jio is all set to come out with 5G
services in October 2022 as clarified by
Mukesh Ambani in a recent interview.
Reliance Jio has invested an
astronomical amount of Rs.2 lakh crore to
deploy 5G connectivity in metropolitan
cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and
Kolkata during Diwali season.
Jio is coming out with an additional
service, Jio Air Fiber, which will offer an
end-to-end wireless 5G experience and Mr.
Ambani made it clear at the 45th AGM of
Reliance Digital that 5G infrastructure will
soon see light of the day in India.
Users will now be able to access Gigabit-
speed internet via Jio Air Fiber for which
they won’t need wires whether at home or
office because the wireless single device
can be easily plugged into the power source
so that it works as a makeshift Wi-Fi spot.
5G Telecom Services to Roll out in India by
October 2022
The grapevine is that 5G Telecom Services
will be soon rolled out by October 12,
2022, as clarified by Ashwin Vaishnaw,
Minister of Electronics and Information
Technology. He has assured that 5G
services will be available in almost every
part of India, which includes the small rural
ones in the coming few years.
As with every new generation, 5G will
be an upgraded version for mobile network
08 | AUG-SEP 2022
that can transmit a large set of data at a
faster speed in comparison to 4G and
previous generation smartphones as this
new service will be at least 10 times faster
in terms of speed.
Among the cities that will that are
chosen by the Department of
Telecommunications to get high-speed
internet service in the first phase are
Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Jamnagar,
Gurugram, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai,
Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, and Lucknow,
Chandigarh and Hyderabad.
Telecom Service Providers like Reliance
Jio, Bharti Airtel, Adani Data Networks,
and others have invested heavily into the
project as they bought a large spectrum in
the recently held auction, which is
speculated to be around Rs.17,876 crore
that has been paid to the Telecom
Department.
6G Services by the end of 2020s, claims
PM Modi
The 5G services will be out in India during
the latter half of 2022 with Modi claiming
that preparations are in full swing to bring
6G services by the end of the 2020s and
this statement was met with immense
positive response at the Smart India
Hackathon 2022 Grand Finale that he
attended.
Ashwini Vaishnav, Telecom Minister in
the Union Cabinet, has hinted that 5G
services might be rolled out by October 12,
2022 although earlier it was September
29, but one needs to wait for a few more
weeks until official reports come out.
PM Modi attended the function
via video conferencing where he spoke
about 5G and 6G services regarding their
time of release and also encouraged
Indianised solutions for entertainment and
gaming.
India’s biggest telecom giants like
Reliance Jio, Adani Data Network, Bharti
Airtel, and Vodafone are the highest bidders
for the 5G service and they want to make
sure that they can provide everything for
the users’ convenience in both rural and
urban areas.
AMD Ryzen 7000 launch date revealed
The brand new AMD Ryzen 7000 processor
has been officially confirmed along with
numerous other details about the laptop
that has sent a wave of enthusiasm among
gadget enthusiasts.
It will be available from September 27,
2022, at the price of $699 on the relevant
e-portals as AMD is claiming that it has
outperformed all its goals for the new
Ryzen 7000 model like boosting the
instructions per clock (IPC) by 8-10%,
while for Zen 3 it went up to 13%.
AMD Ryzen 7000 processor enhances
the gaming experience by improved
performance via leadership, content
creation increase, and advanced scalability
with the help of AMD Socket AM5.
AMD has lived up to its reputation by
coming up with innovative creations for
quite some time and the Ryzen 7000
series desktop processor has only increased
their worth in more ways than one by
providing an excellent PC experience.
Asus Zenfone 9 Launches in India on
August 24
Asus is a
tech giant of
repute that
has come
out with
m a n y
devices for
years due to
which it has acquired a status that it has to
lived up to so one can understand what it
takes to be at such a high pedestal.
Asus Zenfone 9 was launched in July
2022 in selected markets but the company
had stayed mum on its launch in India but
the latest news coming out is that it will
launch on August 24 but since the
company has not given any official
confirmation on the matter, the news has
to be taken with a grain of salt.
MYMOBILE

The device is said to be launching in
India under the name Zenfone 9z with a
5.9 inch display screen that comes in Full
HD+ resolution and an AMOLED panel
with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+
support.
It is also powered by Qualcomm
Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC with a storage
capacity of 8GB RAM and 128 GB internal
configuration along with a battery strength
of 4300 mAh with 30W fast charging
support.
BGMI Gone from Play Store
Battlegrounds Mobile (BGMI) is an
extremely popular mobile game in India
but as with any other venture, this too has
its fair share of problems with the recent
one being that its players are unable to
purchase in-game cash for upgrading the
Royal Pass due to the application being
banned.
The game has disappeared from Play
Store due to which Krafton, BGMI’s
developer, has blocked the Royale pass
purchase, which is a month after the
government banned BGMI in July 2022
amidst privacy and data security concerns.
Only those players are able to access
the game that already have prior access to
it but they are not able to update it as they
did before and are facing problems in
purchasing in-grade currency, which is
needed to upgrade the Royal pass.
Users are trying their best to somehow
purchase UC but get an error message once
they do that says that their purchase has
been denied and to try again later, which is
being looked into.
Indian PC Market Saw a 17.8% Growth
Despite a global chip scarcity, India’s PC
market—which comprises desktops,
workstations, and notebooks—reached
www.mymobileindia.com
record sales of 4.5 million units in
November of last year. But the newest
study from research company International
Data Corporation (IDC) claims that this is
the first time in the previous four quarters
that the Indian PC industry has seen sales
below four million.
According to the survey, demand in the
Indian marketplaces from April to June
2022 was extremely high and increased by
17.8% YoY. Even though more than 2.6
million laptops have been sold, the desktop
market is not far behind, with over 1 million
devices sold.
The growth of the Indian PC market can
be attributed to the increase in basic
computing power and the delayed effect of
the IT boom in India. The demand for
improving the quality of smartphones and
the use of tablets for basic purposes are
also boosting the market.
At the same time, India’s IT sector is
booming, with major companies helping to
drive it. Microsoft Outlook Begins
Displaying More Ads on iOS and Android
For those who are unaware, the Outlook
mobile app offers two options for organizing
the inbox. The software will only display
critical emails if you select the “Focused”
option. Users must go to the “Other” page
in order to see all emails.
The fact that the Outlook advertisements
resemble typical emails is more
aggravating. Additionally, more reappear to
take their place when you delete them.
Users are criticizing and refusing to get
additional Microsoft Outlook
advertisements in their inboxes on social
media and in app stores.
The adverts do return after a short while,
despite the fact that users may swipe them
away or erase them. Unsurprisingly, a lot of
people have left critical or one-star reviews
on the Microsoft Outlook iOS app store
page.
Prior to this, free users’ ‘Other’ inboxes
were the only ones that display adverts.
However, during the past few months,
advertisements have begun to show up in
the single inbox. The simplest solution to
NEWSBITS
avoid these advertisements is to pay for a
What’s Up
Microsoft 365 subscription.
OnePlus Co-founder hints at Foldable
Phones
When it comes to the best smartphones in
the world, you have so many companies
that offer the best model they can create
although it is always Apple and Samsung
that feature in many conversations.
Now the company is all set to launch its
first foldable smartphone very soon that
will have unique features given that it is the
company’s first foldable model.
Oppo Find N comes with a 7.1 inch
inward foldable display along with a 5.49
inch AMOLED display screen and 120Hz
refresh rate. The device is powered by
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC with a
storage capacity of 12GB RAM and up to
512GB internal configuration.
It also has a triple rear camera setup
with a 50 megapixel Sony IMX776 primary
sensor, an ultra-wide angle lens of 16
megapixel, and a 13 megapixel telephoto
lens. Moving on, you will get an outer
screen that is 32 megapixel with an inner
screen of the same resolution and a battery
of 4500mAh powered that supports 33W
SuperVOOC.

What’s Up
markets like UK, Australia, Canada, and
others, that has sent a pall of gloom among
many citizens of these countries.
Sony has taken this decision after much
pondering citing the global economic
environment for increase in retail price as
adverse currency trends too are on the rise
but the prices in US will remain the same
while the news regarding change of price
in India has not been clarified.
PS5 has increased prices in many
countries and we are going to list out some

PS5’s new prices.
PlayStation VR 2 Headset to be launched
Soon
Sony has come with a new update regarding
the launch of a new device that the whole
world will sit up and take notice. The tech
giant has announced that PlayStation VR
2 will be arriving within a few months along
with 20 new games.
It has been a few years since PlayStation
VR made its debut while the new headset
is geared up for launch in early 2023 but
Sony has not revealed an exact date for the
launch but is hopeful that if everything goes
fine then users can get the device within a
few months itself.
The price, features, and specifications
are yet to be revealed for PlayStation VR 2
but it is confirmed that displays will be
outputted at 2000×2040 pixels and will
operate at 120Hz refresh rate.
The field of vision will be 110 degree so
that users will get a clear vision of the
screen when they are playing. Only this
little information has left everyone excited
and they can hardly wait to try this one out.
Shashi Tharoor Summons Twitter & IRCTC
Over Data Security
Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP from Kerala,
who also leads the Parliamentary Standing
Committee on Information Technology, has
10 | AUG-SEP 2022
issued summons to Twitter and Indian
Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation
(IRCTC) to appear before the committee on
August 26, 2022.
It is regarding an issue that concerns
data privacy and security of the citizens due
to which the committee wants to take no
chances and this summon is mere days
after the Modi-led central government
revoked the Personal Data Protection
(PDP) Bill, 2019, which will be replaced
with a new bill.
Twitter has been summoned for
questioning by the Parliamentary panel of
which Tharoor is the head for its
management and composition as the panel
strongly feels that it is extremely biased for
a particular political party and will have to
clarify regarding the same.
IRCTC has more than 10 crore users
throughout India due to which it has hired
a consultant service that will monetize
passenger data along with other things,
which is why the panel has summoned the
corporation to enquire about the reason for
hiring such a service along with the tender
floated to hire consultants.
Snap and HBO Max Collaborate
Users will be able to access augmented
reality experience inside apps courtesy of
Snap and HBO Max collaboration to
celebrate the release of the eagerly awaited
HBO series House of the Dragon.
A new selfie and worldview lens, as well
as Landmarker lenses, are being made
available by Snap and HBO Max in time for
the show’s August 21 launch.
With these lenses, players can fully
immerse themselves in the show’s setting
as the selfie lens transforms them into a
dragon that breathes fire, which gives them
an exhilarating experience.
Snap and HBO Max have collaborated
with lens manufacturers from all around
the world to develop regional augmented
reality (AR) experiences for Landmarker
Lenses.
The first lenses will be made available
for debuts in Prague at the Charles Bridge,
Mumbai at CST, Rio de Janeiro at the
Princess Isabella monument, Chennai at
Sankagiri Fort, London on Tower Bridge,
and Los Angeles on the Grand Canals of
Venice Beach.
During the season, about 20 new
Landmarker lenses from more than ten
different nations will be introduced.
According to Snap, there will be
Landmarker Experiences showcasing new
dragons as they become available during
the season.
The debut comes as Snap reports that,
on average, more than 250 million people
use the app’s augmented reality features
each day and that Snapchat receives more
than 6 billion daily plays of its AR lenses.
Supreme Court Tech Committee Finds
Malware, Pegasus Spyware Suspected
No matter how hard you try, electronic
devices are always at risk of being hacked
by potential hackers and cyber criminals
who leave no stone unturned to look for
logical loopholes in any company’s
hardware so that they can siphon off funds
or sensitive info of unsuspecting users.
Despite the best security measures,
almost every electronic device falls prey to
malware and it was seen very recently when
the technical committee ordered by the
supreme court of India, no less, discovered
malware on 5 smartphones, which they
strongly suspect to be Pegasus spyware.
The committee was handed 29 phones
for inspection out of which five were
discovered with malware in their system
with many experts strongly suspecting it to
be Pegasus spyware. The phone owners
requested the committee not to release the
report and there are talks for further
MYMOBILE

inspection as a result.
The technical committee wants to
inspect the malware infected phones
further as they have extracted everything it
has and they strongly believe that they have
more information about public research
material, malware, and other relevant data.
Twitter Comes with New Experiment
Twitter has received numerous requests for
changes to how it recognises accounts and
what can be done to highlight which ones
are more authentic than others and need to
be identified.
Linking an account to a number can
demonstrate that it was created with greater
care than the simplest macro. This number
can also filter out which tweets appear most
prominently or pass through the various
levels of quality filters.
The same phone number can be linked
to up to ten different Twitter accounts, and
programmers can tag automated accounts
to indicate that not everything being posted
is being done by a real person.
When users are encouraged to link their
phone numbers to their accounts and
display the status, security of that
information becomes a concern. On August
5th, Twitter provided details about an
incident that gave an attacker access to 5.4
million account names associated with
particular phone numbers and email
addresses.
US President Biden Signs Implementation
Order of CHIPS Act
Semiconductor chips are now going to be
subsidized for manufacturing in the United
States as US President Joe Biden signed an
order of implementation of the CHIPS Act,
2022 and the plan is worth $52.7 billion.
This is a big move as it will boost
research and chip manufacturing in the
country big time and will allow US to
compete against the technological and
scientific developments of China as both
www.mymobileindia.com
countries are not exactly on good terms as
of late.
President Biden feels that the law will
prove beneficial for the US as massive chip
shortage has severely affected automobile
and many other industries in the country
that include home appliances, gaming and
electronic devices.
This order has allowed experts to form
the interagency CHIPS implementation
council that comprises of 16 members,
including State, Commerce, Defense,
Labor & Energy, Treasury secretaries and
other important personnel from all these
departments.
VI 5G Expected Anytime in India, clarifies
Telco
5G services are highly anticipated especially
in a hugely populated country like India
where people are completely crazy about
internet and are eagerly waiting for it to
come up so they can try it out.
Meanwhile, Vodafone India (VI) is a step
ahead of others in this matter as it has
already started preparing its customers,
which may imply
that the company is
all set to come out
with the service
sooner than others.
Vo d a f o n e i s
going ahead with the
plan as it has already
sent out messages to
all its users in the
Delhi-NCR region
where it has claimed
that their users can avail 5G services very
soon without specifying when exactly that
would be.
Although it was earlier speculated that
5G services will be launched in the early
week of August 2022 and later come out in
October of that same year, the latest reports
claim that PM Narendra Modi will launch
5G services on September 29, 2022.
WhatsApp Brings out Reaction Preview
You have to hand it to WhatsApp to bring
out interesting features every now and then
to keep their interests piqued because it is
with these features that they are able to
connect more to the messaging application.
There is a reason why WhatsApp is
ahead of its counterparts like Signal and
Telegram when it comes to the most popular
NEWSBITS
messaging app in existence because it has
What’s Up
many unique features that the other two do
not.
The latest buzz is that WhatsApp is
rolling out a reaction preview within the
chat list but as of now only a handful of beta
users can avail it while the update itself was
submitted through the TestFlight beta
program.
WhatsApp provides regular updates
regarding anything new on its official
website where it also shared the screenshot
of this feature where you can find a chat cell
in which the text preview is posted but there
isn’t any option to disable the feature even
if you keep the reactions notifications
disabled.
YouTube TV New Update
YouTube TV is Google’s answer to cable TV
that is working on a new feature through
which users to watch up to four live streams
simultaneously that is called “Mosaic
Mode”.
This is according to a presentation given
by Google to its smart TV hardware partners,
which was not made public. During this
presentation, Google also revealed
upcoming improvements for YouTube
Shorts when viewed on a large screen, as
well as new features for YouTube Music.
The PlayStation Vue service, which has
been discontinued, used to include a
feature similar to what is now known as
Mosaic Mode. As Google prefers to keep its
services consistent across different
hardware, Protocol expects the feature to
eventually appear on non-Android smart
TVs from Samsung and LG.
According to the source, the user
interface for YouTube Shorts on smart TVs
may eventually do away with the scroll bar
used to scroll through standard YouTube
videos in favour of easy access to thumbs
up and thumbs down buttons.
Despite the fact that the app has
traditionally been regarded as a mobile-only
service. However, Protocol claims that
Google has the advantage because YouTube
is pre-installed on many TVs, but buyers
must actively seek out TikTok’s apps. n

Government Orders Amazon to
What’s Up
Remove Seat Belt Alarm Blockers
After Cyrus Mistry Accident
I ndia is the seventh largest country in terms of area with the second
largest population on the planet after its neighbour, China, where
it is soon expected to surpass it in a few years easily.
Accidents are a regular feature all over the world but more so in
India given the huge number of people, which means more and more
vehicles on the road and with very poor roads all around although
things have improved considerably in the last few years.
Poor road structures are the main cause of such accidents and
when you add the less than capable security measures during road
safety along with the Indian population that considers traffic rules
and regulations, or any rules whatsoever, far beneath their notice,
you can be sure that accidents will be a regular feature there.
The untimely demise of Cyrus Mistry in a car crash has sent shock
waves throughout the country where many have suspected foul play
in the accident and strongly feel that it was preplanned.
In light of the tragic event, Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road
& Transport, has reportedly asked Amazon to remove seat belt alarm
blockers in the country, citing road safety concerns.
This accident has raised questions on the broader road safety
issues and many people may well point fingers at Gadkari in the
Official South Korean YouTube Channel Breached by Scammers
S ocial media is a very intriguing place to be in where some
consider it a virtual world where you forget all the problems of
the real world for some time while others consider to be a world of
hate, spite, toxicity, and many other negative emotions that you can
think of.
One of the biggest issues to be online is that you have to share
your personal info and, sometimes, even account details to login or
subscribe to another platform, whether it is an online course or to
make online payment.
There is a constant risk of your data getting stolen by hackers
and scammers who leave no stone unturned to achieve their devious
goals and prowl in the alleys of the virtual world in the form of fake
accounts to lure innocent victims into their trap through con and
trickery.
Forget about ordinary people, even accounts and channels
belonging to the official government of any country has now become
vulnerable to these devious scammers and it was seen very
recently.
The news is that the official YouTube channel that belongs to the
coming days. However, the accident has indeed made
road safety a hot topic of discussion especially as Mumbai, where
the accident occurred, is notorious for having narrow roads with
potholes everywhere.
Millions of people perish in road accidents every day in India with
the 2021 figures alone being around 1,50,000. The transport
ministry is set to come with strict measures like making seatbelt
mandatory for rear seats as well so as to avoid such incidents from
happening in the future.
Moreover, the seatbelt alarm blockers are substituted by metal
clips, whose sale is, interestingly, not illegal in India, and this adds
another question mark on the road safety measure of the country.
The metal clips are available on Amazon that are inserted into
seatbelt slots so as to prevent the alarm from ringing while driving.
Gadkari has reportedly sent a notice to Amazon to ban the sale of
such metal clips to prevent further incidents like these.
It remains to be seen whether such safety measures are put to
implementation or will be forgotten in the near future when the
government changes so one can only wait and watch as to where
things go from here.n
South Korean government has been breached by hackers, who
wasted no time om renaming the channel as ‘SpaceX Invest’ the
moment they got access to its controls.
It took many hours for agencies to restore the YouTube channel
to its original form but considerable damage had already been done
by that time as the hackers started to promote many cryptocurrencies
through the channel, which included the ones where Elon Musk
himself discussed about them.
The official channel was associated with the Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism, South Korea, while the incident happened a
sometime after the official ID and password linked to the page was
stolen.
This isn’t the only incident that the Korean government has fallen
prey to as something similar happened in the latter half of August
2022 when a YouTube account belonging to the Korean Tourism
Organization was breached as well and it had more than 500K
subscribers.
It isn’t just YouTube but various other social media platforms like
Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and their ilk that have recently become
vulnerable to crypto hackers that utilize them to fulfill their agendas,
which is to promote cryptocurrency through them and earn millions
via fraud.
A recent survey analysis has revealed that the hacked YouTube
channels were trading within the range of $3 to $4000. The
authorities are looking into the matter very seriously and hope to
work out a solution very soon before these unscrupulous elements
cause any more harm. n

US Strictly Forbids Chip Sales to China
U S and China are arguably two of the most powerful economies
in the world although the former is a superpower while the latter
is a developing one that is on the cusp of becoming an economic
power in the future.
Both countries haven’t exactly been in the best of terms for a
long time and the news that has come out will only make their
relationship sourer. US Federal Government has placed an order for
chip companies.
Nvidia and AMD, a massive tech giant and semiconductor
manufacturer, respectively have been advised by the government
not to sell their Artificial Intelligence (AI) chips to China citing
national security issue.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a filed
report regarding the aforementioned matter where it has been
claimed that US government does not want to take any chances
because of China’s sneaky reputation.
The Biden government has held talks with Nvidia regarding the
requirement of a new license for future exports to China and Hong
Kong, because it has a gut feeling that the products will be used by
the People’s Liberation Army for nefarious reasons.
The federal government has a strong feeling of a potential risk of
the used products being diverted to the Chinese army that will
eventually be used by the Communist run country to use to invade
into neighbouring countries.
The cost will be around $400 million in potential sales in the
first quarter year and the restrictions imposed on Chinese exports
will have an adverse impact on Nvidia’s A100 and H100 integrated
circuits.
Nvidia is working it out with China as they are in touch with their
customers based there regarding their future purchases of alternative
Twitter Investors Asked to Approve Elon Musk’s Approved Sale
T he news of Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, bidding to acquire Twitter has
become common knowledge across the globe and many people
are interested in seeing how this story is going to come to a
conclusion.
The deal was struck for a whopping $44 million, which is around
Rs.3,51,300, in April 2022, but Musk changed his mind and

products. The company has made it apparent that they might seek
licenses in those places where replacements are insufficient.
AMD is facing the same issue as their MI250 integrated circuits
to China shipments have now been hampered although their MI100
integrated circuits are not as impacted by the new regulations
imposed by the US federal government.
Popular analysts and tech experts from China have given their
two cents on the ban imposed by US on chip sales by Nvidia and
AMD. When it comes to patent filing for Artificial Intelligence, China
is miles ahead of other countries while the restrictions on chip sales
will secure the lead for US in the AI domain.
Investors are worried
that the US federation
may increase the
restrictions on more and
more chips that will have
a negative impact on
server-concerned products
but suppliers like TSMC
won’t have to bear that
much of a brunt due to
sales restrictions.
The major impact of
the ban on Chinese exports
will be experienced later
but as of now Joe Biden has banned Nvidia and AMD from exporting
AI chips to the enemy nation because its main concern is national
security.
All said and done, only time will tell what the long term impact
will be and whether it will be of relevance to China. n
walked out on the deal in July of the same year, as he felt that he
was given misleading information regarding the number of fake
accounts on the platform.
It is this decision that has given rise to a courtroom battle between
Twitter and Musk, which is scheduled for October 2022 where both
sides will put forth their argument and expect to come out
victorious.
Twitter investors have been advised by the Institutional
Shareholder Services (ISS) to approve to Tesla’s plan of purchasing
the social networking platform by stating that a vote was warranted
for Musk’s proposal that will prove beneficial for the investors as well
as it is an all-cash transaction.
What is interesting is that the investors did not oppose as much
to the deal and are expected to vote on the given deal on September
13, 2022. It is Musk’s refusal to go ahead with the deal that
prompted to move to US court to direct him to go ahead with it.
As the hearing is due in October, it will be interesting to see this
courtroom battle between two billionaires and which of them
emerges triumphant in this battle as all eyes are set on both. n

Apple Watch Series 8 is launched with
new sensors and focus on health
The Apple watch series 8 which is
launched is mainly focused on the health
of users and new sensors are being added
to the Apple Watch Series 8 version. The
temperature sensor, like the other health
sensors on Apple Watch, is not intended
to replace specialised medical equipment.
Instead, it will notify the user if a trend
indicates a problem with their health.
Apple specifically mentioned women’s
health as part of their announcement. With
a two-sensor design—one on the back of
the watch near the skin and another under
the display—it measures changes in wrist
temperature while sleeping every five
seconds.
Inside the Health app, users can see
nightly changes in baseline temperature.
These can be caused by physical
activity, illness, or even jet lag.
The temperature sensor can
provide ovulation estimates to
women, which is a useful feature
for family planning. Temperature
sensing also allows for more
accurate period predictions, which
www.mymobileindia.com
can be found
in the Health
app.
The new feature also
includes the detection of an emergency
when the device gets crashed with the help
of a powerful gyroscope and accelerometer.
To detect severe crashes the detection
metres make use of a Barometer, GPS and
the microphone on the iPhone.
When a serious car accident is detected
the watch detects the crash and checks
on its user. If the user isn’t responding
for more than 10 seconds. The watch
automatically dails to call the 911 number.
It also sends the user’s current location to
the emergency squad and his emergency
contacts.
The New power mode feature which
has a low power mode option enabled a
long battery life of up to 36 hours from one
single charge.
The low power mode disables a few
features like the always-on display. Some
of the features that the low power mode
disables are health notifications, workout
auto start, always ON – Retina display and
more.

Apple Removes Sim Tray For
All US iPhone 14 Models
Apple has announced that instead of the
SIM card tray, all US iPhone 14 models will
use Electronic SIM technology, also known
as eSIM. It is a digital SIM card that can
be used to activate a carrier’s cellular plan
without the use of a typical nano-SIM card.
According to Kaiann Drance, vice
president of iPhone Product Marketing,
Exclusive
Apple is making “significant improvements
to cellular technologies making it even
easier to connect.”
She added further “An eSIM is a digital
SIM that eliminates the need for a physical
SIM card,” she said. “With an eSIM, you
can quickly transfer an existing cellular
plan or get a new cellular plan all digitally.”
“You can even store multiple eSIMs on
the same device, meeting multiple cellular
plans and phone numbers,”
And it’s more secure,” that “Someone
can’t remove the physical SIM card if your
iPhone is lost or stolen.”
It has the advantage of allowing you
to quickly set up an iPhone with a carrier
without having to wait for a physical card to
arrive or be provided. According to Apple,
this will be possible even if the user does
not have a Wi-Fi connection.
Apple is confident that eSIMs will
be established with adequate carrier
support in the United States. However, the

technology is still gaining traction in other
parts of the world.
As a result, switching to eSIM would
give Apple more space within the iPhone,
but it will not be available everywhere.
Apple Introduces iPhone
14 & iPhone 14 Plus With
Satellite Connectivity
Instead of a standard and mini model,
Apple has replaced the smallest
smartphone with a much larger alternative.
The iPhone 14 Plus, a revival of the suffix
and a smartphone with a 6.7-inch display,
joins the 6.1-inch iPhone 14.
The Super Retina XDR display is OLED,
with a wide colour gamut, a 2 million:1
contrast ratio, and a peak HDR brightness
of 1,200 nits. HDR10, HLG, and Dolby
Vision are all supported.
According to rumours, Apple is reusing
the A15 in the iPhone 14 rather than
developing a new chip, albeit with “Pro-
level” enhancements. This is a notable shift
for Apple, which typically upgrades the chip
with each iPhone generation. A five-core
GPU, a six-core GPU with two performance
cores and four efficiency cores, a 16-core
Neural Engine, and an Image Signal
Processor are all part of the chip.
The primary camera is a 12-megapixel
shooter with a larger sensor, an f/1.5
aperture, 1.9-micron pixels, and Sensor-
Shift OIS. According to Apple, this results
in a 49% improvement in low-light
photography over the previous generation.
The Ultra Wide camera has 12
megapixels, an aperture of f/2.4, and a
120-degree field of view. The TrueDepth
26 | AUG-SEP 2022
Camera on the front has been updated, and
the 12-megapixel shooter now has an f/1.9
aperture.
TrueDepth also has autofocus for
the first time. Apple’s computational
photography has been updated by moving
Deep Fusion processing earlier in the
shooting process. This is now known as
the “Photonic Engine,” and it appears to
improve low-light performance and colour
rendering.
Action Mode, a stabilisation system
that uses the entire camera sensor for a
less shaky shot, also improves video. You
can still watch 4K 60FPS video with HDR
Dolby Vision, Cinematic Mode at 30fps,
and Action Mode at up to 2.8K at 60fps.
An unexpected change involves SIM,
as Apple embraces eSIM even more. The
iPhone 14 will be sold without a SIM tray
in the United States, prompting the use of
eSIMs. However, SIM trays will continue to
be included outside of the United States.
To maintain connectivity between
people, Apple has introduced Emergency
SOS via Satellite. If any of the users are
in a low-signal area, they can send an
emergency text message using satellites.
The system can send text messages
in less than 15 seconds by using a
compression system to reduce the size
of text messages by one-third. Apple has
created a transmission centre that will route
messages to emergency responders who
only handle phone calls.
The satellite feature, which will be
available in the United States and Canada
in November, will be free for two years after
purchasing an iPhone 14.
Another emergency feature is Crash
Detection, which detects when a serious
collision has occurred. If the iPhone 14
is unable to communicate with the owner
and does not receive a response, it can
automatically dial 911.
The iPhone 14’s battery life has been
improved, with up to 20 hours of media
streaming for the standard version and up
to 26 hours for the Plus. MagSafe charging

I
nfinix has come a long
way and is one of the
leading smartphone
brands in the world
sharing the spotlight with the
likes of Apple and Samsung. It
34 | AUG-SEP 2022
has churned out many notable
devices in the past few years
and setting newer benchmarks
with many of them.
If you’re looking for a
smartphone of topnotch
quality at a relatively
affordable price, look no
further than Infinix, which has
gained the knack of enticing
its loyal customers by piquing
their curiosity regarding their
latest smartphone models.
Infinix Note 12 Pro 5G
is the newest addition to
the list of Infinix mid-range
smartphone segment and it is
this uncanny ability to know
the pulse of the audience is
what makes your products
successful.
What is interesting is that
Infinix is among those brands
that always has something
new to offer in their devices
all the time and while some
viewers may find similarities
with the previous models, it
goes without saying that they
will still find the new handset
up their alley.
My Opinion
2022 has been a very good
year for Infinix as it has
launched three separate
smartphone for its Note 12
series- Infinix Note 12, Infinix
Note 12 Turbo, Infinix Note
12 5G, and now, Infinix Note
12 Pro 5G.
As mentioned, these
smartphones are almost
indistinguishable from
one another but can be
told apart by those that are
familiar with their features
and specifications, which is
something that cannot be
found in other smartphones.
Infinix Note 12 Pro 5G has
come in a black rectangular
box with the brand ‘INFINIX’
at the top and beneath it you
get ‘Note 12 Pro 5G’ with
the Doctor Strange Logo
imprinted in the middle and
finally, at the bottom you will
find ‘Marvel Studios’ and
beneath it ‘Doctor Strange in
the Multiverse of Madness’,
which is because Infinix has
collaborated with Marvel on
the project.
MYMOBILE

Upon opening the box, you
find the 12 Pro 5G model in
all its glory wrapped in a cover
and the charger is kept at the
bottom along with the manual
on how to operate it and its
functions in a detailed
manner.
The device is slightly
heavy but can be held easily
in a single hand and just as
anybody, I held the device
delicately as though it was a
cute pet I had purchased from
the shop. In fact, smartphones
are an integral part of our life
that we cannot exist without
and I too felt the same upon
holding the handset.
It has a plastic body that
some might find the build
quality of it very cheap but I felt
it quite comfortable and sturdy
upon holding it and despite
the slight heaviness, it was
fairly lightweight to hold at just
185 g.
It is very easy to hold for
a person with big hands but
those that have smaller ones
may find it difficult to contain
due to the 6.7 inch display
screen. But these things are
immaterial to a gadget lover
who wants nothing more than
his money’s worth.
A customer’s main concern
is whether the newly launched

or not and Infinix Note 12 Pro

colours.

with a 6.7 inch AMOLED
display screen with a 60Hz

smartphones too
have rode high
on popularity as
its devices are quite popular
amongst one and all while for
some people it is a personality
brand rather than just another
brand that manufactures
smartphones and other
devices.
While not spoken in
the same vein as Apple or
Samsung, OnePlus has its
own cult following that has
helped it carve out a distinct
niche for itself especially
with Android aficionados and
power users for which credit
goes to its slick software.
Times have changed
now as OnePlus is totally
preoccupied with its sister
company Oppo that has led
to their efforts be merged
and the brands are nearly
indistinguishable from one
another.
OnePlus 10T 5G has been
viewed as an intriguing device
as ‘T’ is used to denote mid-
year refreshes but there was
no OnePlus 10 to look into but
this model is relatively newer
than OnePlus 10 Pro with
quite a few modern features
that is being launched as an
heir apparent to its previous
model.
Brief Up
The starting price of OnePlus
10T 5G is Rs.49,999 for the
base variant with a storage
capacity of 8GB RAM and
128GB storage configuration
but if you want more of that
you can get an option with
12GB RAM and 256GB
storage configuration for
Rs.54,999 and going further,
you have 16GB RAM and
256GB storage at Rs.55,999.
Users are always excited
to know more and more about
any device that they intend to
purchase which is why they
are on a constant lookout for
online reviews that will help
them in this regard.
Design
The million dollar question is
this- Is OnePlus 10T 5G worth
your money? Or is it like any
other random smartphone
with the usual features? Does
it live up to the expectations of
its users?
Although the usual
OnePlus handsets come in a
tall box, this design is quite
standard and contains a
strong and protective case,
few stickers, a Red Cable club
membership card, a letter
from OnePlus, a large 160W
charger, and finally, a red USB
Typc-C cable.
It is almost identical to
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G if you look
at the camera arrangement
with the only difference being
the rear panel of this model,
which bulges a little while 10
Pro 5G has a separate band.
Another noticeable feature
of this model is that the rear

panel is quite reflective with
the volume buttons on the left,
power button on the right but
there isn’t an alert slider but
you can find small speaker and
mic holes at the top while there
are the dual-SIM tray, primary
speaker, and the USB Typce-C
port at the bottom.
The rear is made of glass
but you don’t get the premium
and regal feel upon holding
it, which might be due to its
heavy and bulky frame, which
is 8.75mm thick and 203.5g.
There are two colour options for
this phone- Moonstone black
and glossy Jade Green, which
is this particular model.
10T 5G variants always
support 150W charging while
OnePlus has a list of measures
for safety as there are many
users that are concerned about
it but as of now, you can brick
to charge other devices as it is
compatible with USB-PD up
to 45W.
Once you begin the setup
process, you will find privacy
and personalisation options
but you have to first choose a
system font then setup security
and then practice navigation
gestures.
There are apps like
OnePlus Community, Netflix,
and a game manager that
www.mymobileindia.com
are preloaded while the unit
has OxygenOS 12.1 based
on Android 12 but if you dig
further into the settings you
will find a some options for
personalisation.
OnePlus is quite confident
that users can do without
certain features, even at the
available price, an official IP
rating, wireless charging, eSIM
support, and the Hasselblad
camera branding.
The company still holds 10

for users that want the best

aren’t brought
up in discussions
as much as their
aforementioned counterparts,
which is a crying shame given
how important they are in
keeping our health in check.
Bluei Torso Smartwatch too
falls into the category that has
some interesting features and
specifications to its credit that
every user must know about
38 | AUG-SEP 2022
and they will get to learn about
it here.
Brief Summary
For starters, Bluei is a home-
grown brand that has many
mobile accessories to its credit
that has acquired a huge
brand value of its own in a
short while, which is saying
something considering the
enormous competition that it
has faced for long.
There are many
smartwatches out there but
only a handful that deserve the
attention that smartphones
get or even half as much. A
smartwatch is very similar
to a smartphone or smart TV
because it is a ‘Smart’ object.
A smartwatch is basically
a health device through which
one can keep their health
in check and is a must-get
device for fitness enthusiasts
and Bluei Torso Smartwatch is
also one of them.
As mentioned above, Bluei
is a home grown brand with
many mobile accessories and
when you have such a big
company coming out with a
new device it will definitely
become the center of the
attention.
Many people would be
astonished to know that this
will be the first ever watch
MYMOBILE

launched by Bluei and is called
‘TORSO’ with all the relevant
features that any good smart
device should have.
It is the first watch that has
a Bluetooth calling feature and
comes with a 1.69 inch IPS
screen, which is large enough
for a smartwatch and supports
HD visuals and animation,
which has to be seen to be
believed.
All you need to do is to wrap
it around your wrist and the
picture will be in bigger and
better quality. The device is
said to be always on display
because Bluei believes their
model to have the best screen
resolution ever at 240×380
pixels.
Although some people
would consider it arrogance,
it says a lot over the makers’
confidence as they know
deep down that this model
smartwatch will receive the
necessary positive response by
everyone that tries it out.
Feature Study
The contrast ratio is perfect
and makes people stare at it
for a long time without looking
away like the square dial that
has a crown rotation button,
meant for maneuvering.
Torso became available
for purchase from August 5,
2022 at Rs.2,999 in
more than 150

all over India. Within mere
days, it had sold in thousands
to people all over the country
as they immediately took a
liking to its design and unique
features.
If you want a smartwatch
with multi-sports modes that
are preloaded, then this one
should be at the top of your list
as one can call it a true health
suite that you can use to keep
your body in constant check for
health issues.
It is for such kind of people
that Bluei has created this
excellent smartwatch that
has numerous features to
boast of like heartrate tracker,
oxygen level monitoring, sleep
monitoring, fitness tracking,
steps tracking, along with some
others that are more than one
can envisage.
But the one feature that
most people are excited about
is the Bluetooth calling feature,
which is supported by Quick
Access Dial Pad along with Call
History, sync, save contacts,
and others that give perfect
results.
The camera functions are
managed via the Bluetooth
Remote Control where all you
have to do is to click the watch
to control the picture and save
all those stunning images in
the form of souvenirs and show

ONEPLUS
NORD BUDS CE
Music to Your Ears

E
very reputed
brand comes
out with a
new device at
regular intervals. The device
undergoes changes and
upgrading in features and
specifications not only to
live up to the potential of its
predecessor but to the
expectations of its users.
OnePlus Nord Buds are
new products that bear the
unmistakable stamp and
expertise of OnePlus that has
been a worthy addition to the
extensive lineup of products
churned out by the tech giant.
Brief Summary
OnePlus Nord Buds CE is the
newest contribution to the
audio lineup of OnePlus,
which has always been
a challenge for the
company as
it receives stiff competition
from other tech giants like
Samsung, Apple, and other
companies in this matter.
As with other devices, Nord
Buds CE is also targeted
towards the masses and one
big reason why it has become
the talk of the town is that it
is the company’s cheapest
TWS earbuds and is therefore
considered a notch below in
terms of pricing compared to
Nord Buds, which come at a
starting price of Rs.2,799.
It comes with a spec-
sheet that packs
with a punch but
we are going to learn more
about these buds for the users
that are considering buying
it and would therefore like
to gain more information
surrounding it.
Design
Nord Buds CE comes at a
starting price of Rs.2,299
and this is a good amount
for TWS earbuds considering
their competitiveness but,
sadly, the TWS market value
is not as great as it was a
couple of months back given
the cut throat competition it
has received from the likes of
Oppo, Vivo, Realme, etc.
It is difficult to
categorize Nord
Buds and
sometimes
many of them

42 | AUG-SEP 2022 MYMOBILE


are identical to one another
but Nord Buds CE have their
own look that is quite distinct
from its predecessors whether
it is the charging case or the
earbuds themselves.
The case that these buds
come is light to hold and can
easily fit into compact pockets
while the buds themselves
are compact and lighter that
you can see for yourself upon
opening the box but it needs to
be mentioned that they do not
have a rubber tip.
One can comfortably fit them
into the ear where they give
a warm and snug feeling and
they don’t even pop out if you
shake your head, less violently,
or are walking at a brisk pace.
While taking the earbuds out
of the box, the majority of its
weight is gone and they feel
light as a feather so it is easy
to carry the box in your hand
or keeping it in your pocket
while wearing the earbuds as
the weight inside is almost
negligible.
Given the feather light weight
www.mymobileindia.com
of the earbuds, they can be
worn for many hours with little
to no distress but to give an
exact figure as many users
would like to know about it, the
box is 3.5g while both earbuds
are 33g.
There is an USB Type-C port
at the bottom of the charging
case with a battery power of
300mAh, which means that
you can charge the earbuds
five to six times approximately
but you’ll find no button in the
case, which is used for pairing
with another device.
To enable touch controls, you
need a miniscule portion of the
earbuds’ step while the surface
is flattened out very slightly
and can be identified upon
touching while functions are
easy as you need to single tap
for play/pause and double tap
for switching to the next song
and answer/end calls.
For gaming aficionados, the
game mode can be entered
through triple tapping upon
which the voice assistant too
is activated. The test controls
work perfectly although you’ll
find a slight latency with an
iPhone but when you use an
OnePlus handset, the latency is
barely noticeable.
The review unit is Moonlight
White along with Misty Grey
and it you can pick either of
them based on preference
although you can feel a milky
hue on the white unit while
the earbuds are rated IPX4,
implying that it is waterproof
and resistant to sweat.
Even if you wear it out on a
heavily rainy day, they work
perfectly and it only serves
to show that they’re quite
commendable in terms of
features when compared to
Nord Buds and that’s saying
something given the response
it received.
Connectivity
There are no problems with
connectivity as it is seamless
when done with an OnePlus
device where you need a single
tap but when done with other
devices, the situation is quite
BURNTEST
Tried & Tested
different as you have to pair the
earbuds via Bluetooth although
the saving grace is that you
need to do it only once.
Once they’re paired, there are
no further hindrances to the
connection, which is nothing
to be surprised about given
that Nord Buds had shown the
same results. Phone calls in
an indoor setting have shown
great results as the audio
was loud and clear on both
ends although the AI noise
cancelling feature proved to be
a small glitch.
Conclusion
It needs to be mentioned that
OnePlus has indeed taken
a whole new and refreshed
approach in the design of Nord
Buds CE as even though it is
light, there are no compromises
made on the comforts of the
user while wearing them in the
ears.
To conclude, OnePlus Nord
Buds CE is definitely worth
trying out and are available on
Flipkart and its retail partners’
store. Wearing the earbuds give
a great feeling that is increased
manifolds when you watch or
listen to your favourite stuff,
which is literally music to the
ears.n

tech experts or common users,
they all are speaking about it in
glowing terms.
The makers of the new
earbuds have penned their high
hopes on it and rightfully so as
it has been in the making for a
long time. Now they are reaping
financial dividends as it has
been received positively from
people sitting in various parts
of the globe.
One can call Mod the
brainchild of both technical
experts and tech savvy fans
that will soon set an example
as the ultimate play-from-
anywhere-audio companion for
all kinds of music lovers.
Music is a diversified
phenomenon that has many
elements and layers to it along
with the countless genres,
which is why it is perceived
differently by many people
based on what kind of music
attracts them.
Mod earbuds have premium
features along with a brand
new multipoint pairing that
can be seamlessly inserted
into multiple devices
simultaneously and it doesn’t
matter what kind of platform it
is or its manufacturer.
There are countless Zoom
meetings that are conducted on
various devices but with these
earbuds you can immediately
listen to your favourite songs
once you’re finished with the
meeting.
Points of Note
Listening to your favourite
songs in your earphone or
headset gives a deep sense of
bliss, which is only enhanced
through Mod earbuds where
many people have claimed that
www.mymobileindia.com
putting them on and listening
through them is music to
their ears, both literally and
figuratively.
The skullcandy app is
extremely compatible due to
which the earbuds’ flexibility is
underscored even further that
enables button function and
equalizer mode personalization
to give a customized audio
experience.
If you want to purchase
Mod earbuds, you can do
so by visiting platform like
Skullcandy.in, Amazon, and
a select group of retailers
throughout India that supply
similar audio devices for their
users’ convenience.
Users can also get all the
informative details they need to
know about the Mod earbuds
along with the many reviews of
users that have tried it out for
themselves and many of them
have reacted positively to it in
large numbers.
It is these reviews that
inform users whether this
device is worth their money
or not, which is quite similar
to the word-of-mouth that a
movie receives that eventually
determines its fate at the box
office.
Features
The Mod true wireless earbuds
are value packed that have
expertly tuned drivers where
users can avail a strong quality
of sound for any video, sound,
or music genre, and nothing
can enthral music lovers more
than they do.
You can also get a Clear
Voice Smart Mic technology
that not only reduces the
background noise but also
isolates the voice of anyone
who is speaking nearby and
disrupting the sound quality.
This is achieved through
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and it will allow users to have
excellent Zoom meetings and
phone calls where the audio
will be clear as crystal and
heard loud & clear by others.
Then you get the Stay-
Away mode that is adjustable,
which users can utilize to their
advantage and dial outside
noise levels up or down so they
can tune in and out as much
as they please but it entirely
depending on their situation.
Mod earbuds have an IP55
rating, which makes them
immune to water, dust, and
sweat, which means that you
can put them into your ears
and listen for hours and hours
together to enhance your
listening pleasure whether
you’re walking on a hot sunny
day and drenched in sweat or
in a heavy rain, soaked from
head to foot.
The earbuds won’t be
damaged due to the IP55
rating, which is a big reason
BURNTEST
Tried & Tested
why they are popular among
youngsters, who delight in
doing tasks that makes them
sweat out or that involve water.
The battery life is 34 hours
that users can enhance with
7 hours of battery remaining
in the earbuds with an
additional 27 hours in the
charging case, which means
that those with that much
amount of leisure time can use
it imminently.
Conclusion
The era of the 21st century
is one where we can work-
from-anywhere due to
which multi-tasking is more
commonplace and everyone is
expected to perform numerous
tasks simultaneously and with
excellent results.
This new alternative makes
seamlessly toggling between
work and play a breeze,
while also ensuring users
can personalize their audio
experience to best suit their
listening styles that they enjoy
listening to music with no

premium customers.
To strengthen its positing in
the TWS market, the trusted
brand Nokia recently added a
new TWS device to its product
portfolio. The brand launched
its Go Earbuds+ with quite
impressive features that too at
a reasonable price.
This is indeed a welcome
news for all music lovers out
there as not only can they
listen to their favourite songs
for many hours but also don’t
have to worry about budget
constraints, which is a big
reason why so many youngsters
don’t get to enjoy the latest
devices that have come out.
Those who do not want to
spend much on the hearable
device can consider buying
Nokia Go Earbuds+ as this
gadget offers a premium look at
an affordable price point.
In terms of the build and
design, the Nokia Go Earbuds+
is visually very appealing.
Available at Rs2300, the case
comes with a matte finish look,
Nokia branding, and an LED
light on the front. Overall, it
has an attractive look to catch
anyone’s attention.
What’s in the box
The Nokia Go Earbuds+ TWS-

201 comes in protective retail
packaging. Inside the box, I
found the basic accessories
such as earbuds, a charging
case, and two extra pairs of
silicone ear tips (Large and
Small), a charging cable, a user
manual, and a warranty card.
So, this is the complete kit of
what you can expect.
Design
Enclosed in a neat, matte
black, with a flat cut along the
contour, the case features the
Nokia logo on the front, there is
a charging indicator just below,
and there is the Type-C port at
the very bottom. I found some
basic information written on
the back of the case.
Specifications
With Bluetooth 5.0, the Nokia
Go Earbuds+ offers standard
frequencies, from 20 to
20,000 Hz, impedance is 32
Ohm, and sound is stereo. This
TWS device by Nokia comes
with an IPX4 standard.
It supports for mono mode
and good bass. On a single
charge, you will be able to enjoy
around 6 hours of play, and
about 20 more hours from a
case that charges via Type-C in
less than an hour. The charging
case battery capacity is 300
mAh. The Nokia Go Earbuds+
weighs just 4.3 g, including a
case which 45 g. You can enjoy
a range of around 10 metre.
You can easily connect
the buds without any hassle.
You just need to take them
out of the case, click the
Bluetooth menu, find the
TWS-201 model and connect
it. The company is offering the
earphones in two colours—
Black and White. I got the
Black one for review.
A notable aspect of the
earbuds is, that they come with
a slim, ergonomic design for
a comfortable fit that lasts. Its
IPX4 rating makes it sweat and
water resistance, which means
you are free to let your workout
playlist blare, even if the
weather turns bad during that
morning jog. With its 13 mm
dynamic drivers and HD audio,
you can feel a more enjoyable
listening experience.
Controls
The touch-sensitive area of
the Nokia Go Earbuds+ is
available on one side of the
leg. You just need to touch and
hold the sensor for 3/5 seconds
to turn the buds off and on
physically.

Tried & Tested
Conclusion
After using it for around one
week, I found the TWS device
is appropriate for those who
mostly like me use TWS
for calls, music, and binge-
watching. You can experience

music. Those who want
comfort and a brand

All in

cap with

those that are fond
of listening to music might

he premium segment
of true wireless stereo
(TWS) earbuds market
has been growing
exponentially in India and globally.
There is no shortage of products
under the premium TWS (priced at
Rs.5000).
The mere price is enough for
youngsters that want to try out such a
device at the earliest because many
of them are not able to buy such
products due to budget constraints
but a mere Rs.5000 is something
that almost everyone can arrange in
this day and age.
The market is flooded with options
when it comes to true wireless
earphones in India, no matter
whether it is budget or premium
segment. There has been increased
competition among brands
offering premium TWS. Apple,
Sony, Sennheiser, Samsung and
LG are prominent brands known
for offering premium TWS.

The mere name of the
aforementioned brands is enough
for any small company to cower
out because none can hold a
handle to them. It is because of
their consistency in churning out
outstanding devices for decades
is why those tech giants are at the
pedestal they are today.
LG Tone FP9 Earbuds have their
own story to tell in many words
but premium TWS models are not
that easy to find and these wireless
earphones are anyhow so popular that
people are eager to learn more about
the model and its features.
LG has recently refreshed its

review:
The LG Tone FP9 comes
with a glossy finish, with
appropriate size stems. The
LG Tone FP9 available in two
colours – black and white, and
looks decent overall. The brand
is also offering Ganesha Case,
priced Rs.1499 to protect
Tonefree from external shock.
The review unit came
with the case that not only
enhances its looks & feels but
also helped me stay connected
with Lord Ganesha every single
time I grabbed the earbuds. I
felt a strange combination of
excitement and nervousness
because I was quite fond of
these earbuds ever since I
came to know that they are
coming out.
To control the various
aspects of the LG Tone FP9,
the earbud is equipped with
a single touch-
sensitive

zone on each earpiece. To
answer and end calls, the
left or right earbud needs to
be touched once and twice,
respectively. While making the
call through the connected
mobile phone, the call gets
automatically connected to the
headset.
To receive the incoming
calls, it is just needed to touch
the left or right earbud once,
while to reject any call left or
right earbud needs to be to
touch and hold the left or right
earbud.
My experience with the
LG Tone FP9 for the last 15
days has been very positive. I
was able to use the Tone FP9
earpieces for a little under
six hours per charge, with an
additional two charges from the
case, for a total of around 18
hours of battery life per charge
cycle.
There was no slight feeling
of roughness in the outside
sound that did funnel through
using ANC, and the ambient
sound mode seemed to
excessively amplify household
sounds even in a relatively
quiet room.
With ANC on, I enjoyed
quality sound for call and
listening to audio and video
while travelling and in noise
surrounding. For calls, the LG
Tone Free FP9 performed well,
and I had no complaints in this
regard during my time with the
earphones.
Launched as successor to

the LG TONE Free FP9
offers quality features at an
expensive price point. n

extremely good quality products that help
our customers in their day-to-day lives.
What’s so unique about “Blue I” at a time
when there are a number of brands offering
the accessories? Bluei is a compressive
mobile accessory and lifestyle gadgets
brand, one highly unique thing about our
brand is that our customers are always
kept satisfied and made to feel heard, they
can always rely on Bluei for high-quality
products at competitive prices.
So amongst this range of different
accessories, which one performs better in
the market, and what is your plan for other
products? Our backbone is our charging
segment, the in-house plant where mobile
chargers, power banks, and data cables are
manufactured is always focused on making
the best quality products and giving diverse
variety and options to the customers. High-
end, latest technology products like voice
chargers, Qualcomm chargers, etc. are
tried to deliver to the customers at the best
prices and obviously the best quality.
Which platform yields maximum revenue
for Blue i – online or offline? Between
the online and offline market, the
offline market has turned to be more
revenue generating for us. The simple
reason is that the offline market gives
us the opportunity to connect with the
customer on face to face basis, which
improves their experience and gives them
an idea about the quality, making it easier
to get convinced about the excellence of
the brand.
India is a price-sensitive market, So as a
growing tech brand, what’s your take on
the “Price vs Quality” part when it comes to
launching your products? Price vs. Quality?
Obviously, Quality, as I have mentioned,
Customer satisfaction has been our
primary goal. We always keep in mind
that our products are available at very
competitive prices and not once does

are paying extra instead he should feel
that he is getting extra quality products at
reasonable prices and should always be
satisfied and relieved.
Being a growing tech accessory company,
expansion of your market reach is a
must, So, what is your ‘Go-to-Market
Strategy’ for that? Our ‘Go to Marketing-
Strategy’ for expansion of the brand has
been building a network. We are constantly
developing our network by reaching out
to people in different states. We recruit
staff members for the positions like Area

FACE TO FACE
Manager (TSM), and zonal Sales Manager
(ZSM) who handle specific states, zones,
and territories and build relations there.
Apart from this, we meet people one on one
and host dealer meets in different parts of
India in order to connect with maximum
people all over the country.
Is Blue i going to introduce any other new
product segment in the future and if yes, then
what will be that product? Our latest launch
has been the all-new Bluei smart watch
– TORSO. This product is a result of our
focus on building health and lifestyle
gadgets that help consumers improve
their lifestyles and work on their health.
You can expect a lot of new products to
launch soon in this criteria.
As a sales and technology director, what
are the major challenges do you face
while operating in India? As the Sales
and Technology, Director of the
company, I always have an eye on the
detailing of our products. I study every
prospect of a product and need to
reverse calculate as to which products
will work best in the market, keeping
in mind that the latest technology

Mobile gaming has grown in popularity in recent years, particularly in India, with
games such as Call of Duty: Mobile and BGMI among the most popular and graphically
demanding in the country right now. To enjoy these games, you’ll need a smartphone
with adequate horsepower to provide the finest performance and fidelity in these games
for the smoothest experience, so here’s a list of some of the top smartphones available in
India around 30000. Here are our current recommendations for the best smartphones

ONEPLUS NORD 2
Trendz
T his phone (OnePlus Nord 2 5G) is the successor of the OnePlus Nord. It’s
part of the Nord series, which is cheaper than the OnePlus 9 Series. The
OnePlus Nord 2’s 6.43-inch AMOLED display boasts a fullHD+ resolution and
a refresh rate of 90Hz. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is utilized on the smartphone’s
front and back, providing it a premium appearance and feel.
OnePlus has kept the smartphone’s weight to 189g. It features a 4,500mAh
battery and can charge at 65W Warp; the charger is supplied. It has a triple
camera setup on the back, which includes a 50-megapixel primary camera with
OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2-megapixel mono camera.
The Nord 2 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200AI processor and
comes with 6GB, 8GB, or 12GB of RAM. OnePlus provides 128GB and 256GB
storage options, but these are not expandable. The Nord 2 receives OxygenOS,
as do other OnePlus smartphones, and runs on top of Android 11. In addition,
you will receive two years of software updates and three years of security
updates. The Nord 2 is a capable performer that can handle demanding tasks
and apps with ease. The 4500mAh battery can power the device for about a
day and a half. Charging is lightning fast, and the phone can be recharged from
a dead battery in 32 minutes.
The Nord 2’s camera performance is good for the price. Photos shot in
natural light are excellent, but those taken with the ultra-wide angle camera
are not. The Nord 2 excels at close-ups and portrait shots. The phone’s low-
light camera performance was also good, and with Nightscape mode, it can
take better low-light photos. Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a good choice for
those on a tight budget. n

Poco managed to cram in a 5,065mAh battery and a
67W fast charger in the box. The phone can last more than
a day and a half on a single charge and perform admirably

The Poco F3 GT features three cameras: a 64-megapixel

Android phones combine groups of pixels
to act as a single large pixel. Sensors can

high-resolution thanks to this workaround,
known as pixel binning.
Video stabilization: Another
feature copied from Android
In smartphones, shaky video has long been
a problem during videography. Even though
phone manufacturers have improved
over time, they still haven’t reached the
GoPro-style action cam level. With the
help of Active Stability and Super Steady
modes, people can now take smooth,
GoPro-like video while moving, thanks to
improvements in stabilisation techniques
and post-processing on phones like the
2020 Google Pixel 5 and Samsung Galaxy
S20.
Even at the launch, Apple’s product
manager Vitor Silva emphasised that the
company was bringing a “brand new class
of camera to iPhone” rather than saying
that it invented the method.
All iPhone 14 models will be available
with Apple’s new Action Mode, which
should produce interesting shots when
filming during running. However, Apple is
a bit behind the curve here.
Always-on display: A feature
that reminds of Lumia

far as to include a feature that enabled
the selfie camera to pop-out of the frame,
leaving the screen completely free. With an

coincides perfectly with the release of

Some other features that iOS 16 will

are:
Multiple stops on the maps:
With iOS 16, you can easily get directions
and add a new location’s address to your
itinerary. You can make a stop there and
then navigate

Android has had this feature since 2017.
However, Apple Maps has undoubtedly
advanced since its disastrous debut ten

this only applies if the recipient is also
running iOS 16. You can also use Remind
Later to remind yourself of an email you
don’t want to deal immediately or schedule
an email to be sent whenever you like.
Gmail, however, have had these features
since around 2018.
iOS16’s Live captions:
With the release of iOS 16, live captions
for videos, audio, and conversations
are now available. Anyone who needs to
follow a conversation will find this feature
to be very helpful. However, Android’s
Live Caption feature has been available
since 2019 and currently offers instant
translations for those captions in many
languages (although the accuracy of those
translations will probably fall short of those
of a human translator).
Phone fitness app:
A popular device for tracking your fitness
is the Apple Watch, but if you used an
iPhone and didn’t have a watch, you
couldn’t use the official Apple Fitness
Plus app (although you could, of course,
use any of the third-party apps available).
The Apple Fitness Plus app is now available
whether or not you are wearing an Apple
Watch.
Whether you wear a watch or not, Android
phones have pretty much always had access
to Google’s official Fit fitness app.
Car crash detection:
The new iPhone 14 phones and the
upcoming Apple Watch Series 8 both have
car crash detection capabilities. However,
car crash detection is also available on Pixel
phones; Google added it to the Personal
Safety app back in 2019.

iPhone’s Dynamic Island:
Dynamic Island is Apple’s resolution for
faster multitasking on the iPhone. Apple
uses Dynamic Island, which expands
and contracts to display contextual
information, in contrast to Android
phone manufacturers like Samsung, who
support the ability to open multiple apps
simultaneously on the screen. Depending
on the app, it may expand to display alerts
and change shape.
According to Apple, Dynamic Island’s
objective is to display information clearly
while minimising interruptions to the
app you’re using. “With this change, we
reconsidered how you interact with your
iPhone,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior
vice president of worldwide marketing.
Not all of the features Apple unveiled
www.mymobileindia.com
for the iPhone 14 were taken directly
from earlier Android designs. If Google
doesn’t dethrone it with the Pixel 7 later
this year, the A16 Bionic chip on the
iPhone 14 Pro will probably continue to rule
the smartphone industry. With a peak
brightness of 2,000 nits, the Super Retina
XDR display of the iPhone 14 outshines
the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which only manages
1,750 nits. In case users ever find
themselves in a dangerous situation in a
remote area of the US or Canada, iPhone
14 users will have access to the Emergency
SOS satellite service feature, which is
usually only found on bulky satellite phones.
Additionally, selfies will have a more natural
bokeh effect thanks to the TrueDepth front-
facing camera.

Which iPad is best to
In Focus
buy for students & How
to choose the best?
P
reparing for college may be both
thrilling and stressful. To make
things easier, make sure you have
the necessary technology to help
you compose essays, take notes in class, and
relax with Netflix and games when the work
is done. The iPad has progressed in recent
years to become a laptop replacement for
many students, thanks to peripherals such
as the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil,
making it one of the most flexible devices
available.
Choosing one can be difficult, though,
because Apple presently provides a large
choice of models with varying costs and
features. No worries, here’s our advice for
purchasing an iPad for your college days.
What is DextraBot iPad
10.2inch (9th-gen, 2021)
While this is the most affordable
iPad, it offers sufficient performance
and features to make it an ideal
choice for many students. In 2021,
Apple improved the gadget, adding
the powerful A13 processor that
previously powered the iPhone
11 series, as well as considerable
upgrades to the front-facing camera,
which now features an Ultra-Wide
lens and support for Centre Stage.
It can run the Microsoft Office programs for
iPad, and there are other productivity apps
from Apple that will make taking notes and
working on assignments a breeze. With a
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, you have
a pretty functional laptop that should meet
the majority of coursework requirements.
With Apple Pencil support, you may
annotate papers, sketch, and perfect your
handwriting.
If your needs aren’t too demanding, the iPad
10.2inch (9th generation) is an excellent
choice. It can manage academic life with
ease and provides lots of entertainment
after class. But there is one word of caution.
The base model only has 64GB of storage,
which seems a little harsh from Apple in
70 | AUG-SEP 2022
this day and age. With that in mind, we
recommend going with the 256GB model
because it is more practical.
iPad mini (6th gen, 2021)
If portability is the most important factor for
you, there is one iPad in particular that you
should consider.
The iPad mini, which will be updated in
September 2021 with an A15 Bionic
processor and a brand new design, is the
smallest and lightest
iPad available. It weighs
293g, compared to
487g for the 10.2inch
iPad and 461g for the
iPad Air. Of course, the
low weight is due to the
iPad being smaller due
to the 8.3inch display
and Apple removing
the Home button and
relocating Touch ID to
the Power button on the top edge. As a
result, the device is compact but strong,
and it does not seem too small. We believe
that this screen size is good for reading
books or taking notes (particularly with an
Apple Pencil), so it may be ideal for you if
you intend to use the iPad in this manner.
Don’t be fooled by the mini’s small size;
it has the same A15 Bionic chip as the
iPhone 13 Pro Max, so there’s no shortage
of power. Connectivity is also excellent, with
compatibility for the most recent Wi-Fi 6
and LTE 5G networks available depending
on the model.
iPad Air (2022)
With its 10.9inch display, modern style,
lightweight (461g), superb cameras, and
massively powerful processor, we believe
the iPad Air, which was last upgraded in
March 2022, is a wonderful choice for
students.
Unfortunately, it is no longer as inexpensive
as it once was, with the new format and
construction processes raising the price
to £569/$599 for the 64GB model and
£719/$749 for the 256GB edition (which
we prefer).
It is no longer our top choice iPad for
students due to the price rise, but if you
can afford it, it is well worth the investment.
The camera is a 12Mp Wide lens (similar
to the iPad Pro), and it can capture video
at 4K/60fps. As with the other iPads on
this list, the front-facing camera has been
improved to a 12Mp Ultra-Wide, allowing
for Centre Stage.
Essentially, the new iPad Air is a cheaper
version of the iPad Pro. The only significant
feature lacking is the 120Hz Pro-Motion
screen refresh rate, although most people
won’t notice.
iPad Pro 11inch (2021)
There is no discernible change between
the two versions, thus it is simply a
decision
between an
11in and a
12.9in the
display.
I n t e r n a l l y,
t h e r e ’s a
strong M1
chip that’s one
of the quickest pieces of silicon available
right now, and the displays benefit from the
ultra-smooth ProMotion (120hz refresh
rates) that’s reserved just for iPad Pro
models. To be honest, purchasing a Pro for
a student who will only play a few games,
watch Netflix, and type out some essays
would be a bit of a waste of money, as the
iPad Air has many of the same capabilities
and will save you a significant amount of
money when compared to a Pro. n

How to Use iPhone or
Android Phone to Control
YouTube on Android TV
By Team My Mobile
I
f you have an iOS device, you can
use an AirPlay-compatible app to
cast your iPhone to Android TV. For
example, if you want to control YouTube
on Android TV with a full set of features
like commenting, liking videos, easier
search, navigation, and more, you must
look beyond casting.
Google, on the other hand, has
introduced a new “Connect” feature that
does away with local casting. It essentially
allows you to control YouTube on Android
TV from your iPhone or Android phone
without having to be on the same Wi-Fi
network. And in this article, we’ll show
you how to use YouTube’s new “Connect”
feature.
Requirements for Using
an iPhone or an Android
to Control YouTube on an
Android TV
1. Your Google account must be the
same on YouTube and on your Android
TV as it is on your smartphone - with
Android, iOS, or iPadOS.
2. YouTube should be updated on your
smartphone and Android TV. Google
has not specified a specific version
for the ‘Connect’ feature to function,
72 | AUG-SEP 2022
but to avoid any mishaps, update
the YouTube app to the most recent
version.
3. The ‘Connect’ feature is not the
same as the traditional casting
feature found on other apps. In the
background, YouTube account syncing
is taking place. To use the ‘Connect’
feature, none of your devices must be
connected to the local Wi-Fi network.
You can use mobile data while your TV
is connected to Wi-Fi and still control
YouTube on Android TV from your
smartphone.
Using the “Connect” Feature
on Android TV, you can
control YouTube.
1. First, ensure that the YouTube TV
app on both your Android TV and
smartphone is up to date (Android or
iOS). Launch the Google Play Store
and update all of your apps, including
YouTube.
2. After that, keep the YouTube app open
on your Android TV.
3. Next, launch the YouTube app on
your Android or iPhone. And at the
bottom, you’ll see a small pop-up that
says “Watching YouTube on TV?” A
“Connect” button will appear directly
below. Tap it to activate it.
4. Your Android phone or iPhone will be
instantly connected to the Android
TV. If something is already playing
on YouTube, the progress will be
displayed. Remember that you are
not casting but rather connecting to
YouTube on Android TV through your
YouTube account. As a result, you
do not have to be on the same Wi-Fi
network.
5. You can now use your smartphone
to search for YouTube videos, fast
forward the clip, leave a comment,
add more videos to the queue,
read comments, and more. You
can basically control all aspects of

YouTube on Android TV from your
Android phone or iPhone.
6. The best part is that you can use voice
search and your iPhone or Android
phone as a remote control for YouTube
on your Android TV. If you want to
disconnect YouTube from your Android
TV, simply tap on the “Cast” button
at the top and select “Disconnect.”
That’s the end of it.
TV Code allows you to
control YouTube on Android
TV from your smartphone.
If the “Connect” pop-up does not appear
on your smartphone for some reason,
you can use a TV Code to connect your
Android TV and iPhone/Android phone.
You do not have to be on the same Wi-Fi
network to use this feature.
What’s more, you don’t have to use the
same Google account on both devices.
You can also control YouTube on Android
TV using a smartphone with a different
Google account. Isn’t that incredible? This
www.mymobileindia.com
is how you do it.
1. Launch the YouTube app on both your
Android TV and smartphone. If you
don’t see a pop-up on your Android or
iPhone, tap the “Cast” icon in the top
right and select “Link with TV code.”
2. Next, on your Android TV, navigate to
the YouTube “Settings” page, which
will be in the bottom-left corner. Open
the “Link with TV code” menu and
make a note of the 12-digit code.
3. Return to your smartphone and enter
the code you copied from the YouTube
app above. Then, press the “Link”
button.
SPOTLIGHT
4. That’s all there is to it! YouTube

on Android TV will be
automatically linked to your
smartphone. You can now control
Youtube on Android TV directly from
your smartphone.
5. To disconnect, open the YouTube app
and tap the “Cast” icon, then select
“Disconnect.”
6. Open the YouTube app on Android TV
and navigate to Settings -> Linked
devices. Click “Unlink all devices”
and all devices will be removed
immediately. n

‘House of the Dragon’ Story,
In Focus
Cast, Release Date, and More
By Team My Mobile
H
BO’s upcoming fantasy
drama series ‘House of the
Dragon’ is a prequel spinoff
series of ‘Game of Thrones.’
The show, which was co-created by Ryan J.
Condal and George RR Martin, the author
of the books on which the series is based,
takes place hundreds of years before the
original story.
While ‘House of the Dragon’ also has
a conflict for the Iron Throne, this one is
within the Targaryen family. And this one
has a lot of dragons because dragons had
not gone extinct 200 years before Robert’s
Rebellion, but only the Targaryens had
them. ‘GoT’ disappointed with its final
season, but fans are still optimistic about
‘HotD.’
48 | AUG-SEP
78 OCTOBER2022
2021
What is the story about?
The A Song of Ice and Fire series by George
R.R. Martin is loosely based on the War of
the Roses, a period in English history when
two powerful Houses vied for control of the
throne of England left vacant at the end
of the lengthy Plantagenet dynasty’s reign.
Martin drew inspiration for the Targaryen
dynasty from the Plantagenets, a line of
kings that began with Henry II. Aegon the
Conqueror is a crude allegory of William the
Conqueror of Normandy, whose invasion
and dominance of England drastically
altered the social, political, and linguistic
landscape of that island.
Listening to someone speak Old English
will quickly reveal that it sounds nothing
like the language we know today. The
Targaryens are a cross between the early
Norman conquerors and the Plantagenet
dynasty, which arose from that conquest
and ruled over England and large swaths
of France for hundreds of years.
When comparing the Plantagenet
line to the Targaryens of Martin’s fiction,
specifically the story of House Of The
Dragon, it’s not always a perfect match.
For example, the show begins at the end of
King Jaehaerys I Targaryen’s reign, a man
who ruled Westeros in peace and prosperity
for decades but died without a son as an
heir.
Unlike many other uncertain
successions, his grandson, Viserys I
Targaryen, took power peacefully.
Viserys (who, in Game Of Thrones, is
MYMOBILE

the polar opposite of his namesake) ruled
over a peaceful kingdom and, as we learn
in House Of The Dragon, struggled to
produce a male heir, triggering The Dance
Of Dragons, a civil war that erupted after
his death between rival factions vying for
the Iron Throne.
The issue of succession between
Viserys’ daughter, Rhaenyra, and her half-
brother, Aegon, takes center stage in House
of the Dragon, which has been compared to
HBO’s other hit show, Succession.
Of course, all of this is detailed on
numerous Wikis and in Martin’s fictional
historical tome Fire & Blood, though that
book covers 300 years of Targaryen history,
and this show—or, at least, this season of
this show—only covers a small portion of it.
This means that, unlike Game of
Thrones, House of the Dragon will focus
on court dealings and the backstabbing,
treachery, and politics of a vast and
powerful dynasty in crisis. This is far more
intriguing to me than prophecies, White
Walkers, and Faceless Men. “When you
play the game of thrones, you win or you
die,” Cersei warns Eddard early in the main
show.
House of the Dragon is also set in a time
when dragons were still plentiful, albeit not
in the thousands as in Valyria, nor as large
as the dragons of antiquity. Nonetheless,
instead of three, we can expect to see up
to twenty of the grand, winged beasts, the
majority of whom will be flying around with
Targaryen dragon-riders.
The story of House of the Dragon takes
place roughly 200 years before the birth of
Daenerys Targaryen, though it will cover a
much larger time span than the far Game of
Thrones (which was originally intended to
have a much larger time jumps in Martin’s
original outline).
Who is responsible?
The creators are, as previously stated,
Ryan J. Condal and George RR Martin.
Furthermore, Miguel Sapochnik, who
directed some of the best ‘Game of Thrones
episodes, will direct the pilot and possibly
many more episodes throughout the show’s
www.mymobileindia.com
run. Ramin Djawadi, the original show’s
composer, returns.
Cast
‘House of the Dragon’ stars Paddy
Considine as Viserys Targaryen, Emma
D’Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen, Matt Smith
as Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as
Alicent Hightower, Milly Alcock as young
Rhaenyra, Emily Carey as young Alicent,
Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Steve
Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon, Eve Best as
Rh
Will any of the original cast
members appear again?
Not likely, given that the show takes place
two centuries before the original and no
one from the original has yet been born.
However, there may be surprises and
callbacks.
Budget
‘House of the Dragon,’ like ‘Game of
Thrones,’ has cost HBO a lot of money. We
will see a lot more dragon battles than in
the original show because Westeros had an
abundance of dragons and dragon riders
during this time period. Each episode
of Season 1 will cost HBO $20 million,
bringing the total cost of the first season
to $100 million, which is more than most
movies.
How many seasons are
there?
We don’t know for sure, but Dance of
Dragons does not have enough material
SPOTLIGHT
InFocus
to warrant a film as long as the original.
However, future seasons may wish to
explore other stories in Westeros or other
points in the long history of the Targaryens,
including their time in Valyrian Freehold
before coming to Westeros. The first season
will have ten episodes, just like the first
season of ‘Game of Thrones.’
House of Dragon will feature some
mind-boggling and epic dragon battles.
Since the announcement of its release,
the much-anticipated series has been the
talk of the town. It sparked international
excitement among viewers of all ages. The
guests at the launch event were blown
away by the visual spectacle and exclaimed
their excitement for the season to begin
streaming in the coming days!
House of Dragon will undoubtedly be a
treat for Game of Thrones fans who have
been waiting for the show’s sequel since it
officially ended in 2019. Though the final
season of Game of Thrones did not go over
well with fans, they can now pin their hopes
on this prequel series to make up for it. n

power
banks for
smartphones
in 2022
P
ower banks have expanded in size
and strength while also becoming
more multidimensional. You
can now purchase a power bank with a
20,000mAh lithium-ion battery inside.
They feature dual charging ports that can
handle input and output power. On top of
that, some of them even support Quick
Charge and Power Delivery, which offer
compatible charging speeds for a variety
of devices.
What to take into account
when purchasing a 20K
power bank?
How challenging can purchasing a power
bank be? Even though there isn’t much,
we still want to recommend the factors
that will help you choose the right option
for your device. A few things to think
about are as follows:
Build quality matters: You might
not be aware of this, but power banks
perform better due to the quality of
their construction. An effective design
guarantees that internal heating is kept to
a minimum, resulting in better and more
efficient charging. Check to make sure
the power bank you are purchasing won’t
disintegrate.
Multiple ports come in handy: Choose
a power bank with multiple USB ports in
various configurations. In this way, you
can charge both more recent and older
models that have USB C and micro USB
ports, respectively. Additionally, having
these ports ensures that your device
charges at the proper rate.
Power discharge for better speed:
Buyers should carefully review the power
bank’s specifications to ensure that it
supports the power discharge that their
device supports for quicker charging.
Multi-level protection: In essence,
power banks are just batteries and
circuitry for power control housed in a
casing. Therefore, a defective power
bank could cause your device damage
by overheating during charging or by
providing an improper output current.
That’s why you should only go for models
that offer a minimum of three or five-
layer charging protection. Therefore, only
choose models that provide a minimum of
three or five layers of charging protection.
The top 20,000mAh power banks on
the market right now are listed below.

What do you believe is the immediate road

Best Apps That Will Pay

You For Staying Fit
Y ou might believe that using your
smartphone is limited to texting, making
calls, and browsing social media. However, this
small gadget is also a great way to keep track
of, manage, and progress toward your fitness
objectives. You can download specialised
fitness apps on your phone, tablet, or other
electronic devices. However, there are many
fitness apps, though, that reward you for
maintaining a healthy lifestyle in addition to
tracking your progress.
By using these apps, which actually pay you
for exercising, you won’t need to spend money
on trainers in order to become fit.
But the question arises, how will these
fitness apps reward you for being active? Then
allow me to tell you that these fitness apps
use the phone’s sensor to keep tabs on your
physical activity, such as step counts and hand
motions. They calculate how many calories you
burn on average and give you points for it.
Once you reach a certain point balance, you
can convert your points into rewards. However,
you must first install the Google Fit app on your
Android device because the majority of fitness
apps on Android use Google Fit data to track
your body movements. The official Google Fit
app not only tracks your fitness but also reveals
the precise movements of your body.
Here are some apps which you can download
to get paid to stay fit:
RUNTOPIA
R untopia is a fantastic app with many
features that set it apart from its
competitors. For example: If you’re the type who
responds well to audio motivation, they’ll give it
to you. Additionally, there
are individualised training
programmes and running
communities because,
inevitably, different people
have different questions.
This app may be the
best for getting paid to walk because it has
many distinctive features. Numerous challenges are also available,
which increase the app’s appeal and promote its social aspects. n
STEPBET
S tepBet is one of the many apps that reward you for walking,
but it has a twist. You actually place bets and might end up
paying off.
So how does it function? After downloading the app, you select
a game to play and place a bet that will be added to the pot. You’ll
get your money back plus extra cash if you achieve your fitness goals
for the entire game!
This app is distinctive in two ways
because you can get real money instead
of gift cards when you redeem your
points. Additionally, placing a bet on
oneself is definitely unusual.

Apple iOS 16 Launched with
Innovation
New Features
A
pple iOS 16 is the company’s
new operating system that
will be launched along with
a few other smartphone and
smartwatch models on September 12,
2022 with the announcement already made
during the ‘Far Out’ event held a few days
prior.
There are some new features that have
been added in iOS 16 like a new lock
screen, focus mode, and a number of
privacy layers to the files and albums that
have been deleted recently so that users
can gain access to them via biometrics and
passcode.
Fresh after the launch of the new iPhone
14 series, Apple hopes that iOS 16 will
receive excellent reviews because iPhone 14

response has been mixed but the company
will include the operating system on future
devices like iPhone 8 and iPhone SE second
and third generation smartphones.
Key Features
Among the many features, users can gain
access to the gallery of wallpapers where
images will be suggested to them and also
have an array of collections that will serve as
inspirational souvenirs.
The alerts and notifications have been
moved to the bottom
in iOS 16 so that
they can be tapped
and viewed with
one hand while the
users can check for
other applications
and see incidents
happening in real
time through the
lock screen courtesy
of Live Activities.
Emails will now have a scheduling feature
via the Mail app with a bonus feature where
users can cancel the sent email before it is
delivered to the receiver. There are also the
passkeys through which users can sign in
and out whilst gaining access to websites
and apps through the Face ID and Touch
ID.
Apple Wallet can be utilized for sharing
IDs and keys so that users can share them
for verifying their identity and age. The wallet
can also share the keys through messaging
and WhatsApp along with massive upgrades
in the Maps app like stunning 3D visuals
and multistep navigation.
Then there is the Visual Look Up feature
that allows users to tap and hold on the
image subject to isolate it by removing
the background or lift the whole image
completely and placing it in other apps.
Users can also avail the haptic keyboard
functionality that has a Taptic engine, which
upon pressing will release slight vibrations
that they will feel upon touching. Apart from
these, you also have the regular features like
health tracking, parental control, Apple Pay,
etc. to name a few.
It will be interesting to see how the iOS
16 operating system will be received when it
comes out on September 12 because Apple
has pinned high hopes on it that it will be
praised much more than the lukewarm
response for the iPhone 14 series.n
