Realme Buds Q TWS Earphones Review: The Go-To True Wireless Choice For Gamers On A Budget – Mashable India

Image
Truly wireless earphones might have shot into prominence ever since work-from-home policies became the norm and the likes of Realme and Xiaomi are leaving no stone unturned in catering to those looking for budget options. Both companies have launched several different products into the market and each one of them are very aggressively priced. Realme moved the market first with the launch of its budget Airpods clone, the Buds Air and then returned with a more affordable version of it and named it Buds Air Neo. In the meantime, Xiaomi took stage (no, not literally) and launched two new TWS products – the Mi TWS 2 priced at INR 4,499 and the Redmi Earbuds S which cater to those with tighter pockets at INR 1,799. To match the Earbuds S, Realme took a few weeks to launch its very own budget in-ear headphones, the Buds Q for a price of INR 1,999. Now, both of these offerings to be priced this cheap, you would immediately assume that corners would have been cut. But having tested both ...

The creators of Rainbow Six and Assassin’s Creed are taking on battle royale. Everything we know about Hyper Scape

Image
Invariably for several years it is battle royale that is one of the most fashionable genres on the gaming market. Ubisoft clearly wants to make as much money as possible on this trend. One of his most important studies will be responsible for Hyper Scape. Apparently Ubisoft is about to announce a new game. It’s called Hyper Scape and it’s supposed to be a fast-paced first-person battle royale shooter. What’s more, very little time will pass from the announcement until we can check the game. Public beta testing is set to start on July 6, and the premiere of the game, if nothing goes wrong during testing, is scheduled to take place a week later. What do we know about Hyper Scape, a Ubisoft battle royale shooter?

Forza without the confederate flag. The model on the body threatens to ban the account

Image
In the fight against hate speech and discriminatory ideologies, Turn 10 decided to announce the lack of tolerance for the flags of the Confederate States of America used by some players. Is this not a step too far? In the video game industry, there has been a kind of purification from the shameful past. Much is said about the diversity of creators in terms of race, gender or sexual orientation. Hate speech and content discriminating against social minorities are less and less tolerated. Even the very subject of games begins to touch the social problems of the modern world. It is difficult to look at these activities unfavorably, provided that there is no exaggeration and calculated image narrative. Especially that even programmers are seeking to change fundamental names – including master and slave used in the developer . However, I am not sure whether the latest change in the regulations of Forzy Motorsport and Forzy Horizon – one of the best and most popular racing games series ...

And it fell when Poles abroad tried to register to participate in the presidential election. Polish e-administration is tango down again!

iPadOS 14 washes after iOS – first impressions

Image
I have already tested the iPadOS 14 system and I am extremely disappointed. Apple still does not take its tablet users seriously. Trackpad and mouse support in the iPadOS system made me believe again that the tablet will be able to replace my MacBook outside the home in the foreseeable future. I would like this to be possible, because then my next computer could be a desktop iMac and maybe one with an ARM processor. In practice, however, it is still a distant song of the future. iPadOS 14 is proof that Apple still does not take its tablets seriously. Many people hoped that the separation of the iPadOS system would make it develop more dynamically by providing additional functions on it compared to those found on phones with iOS. In practice, however, it turned out that Apple made this division so that tablets do not inhibit the development of software on smaller screens. In the case of iPadOS 14, this can be seen, unfortunately, all too clearly, because, like most of the features...

Second-generation chatbots are much more talkative. The one from Ikea talks to 60 people at the same time

Image
What is the difference between the second generation and the first? Now chatbots can get the hang of a conversation using natural language, previously the interlocutors had to stick to established chatbot scenarios. Such a chatbot can significantly relieve customer service, as demonstrated by the example of the Ikea network. The bot already works on the Ikea website and anyone can test its operation in terms of orders, deliveries, payments, complaints, returns and stores. Chatbot answers open-ended questions using natural language. Earlier generations of bots often required selecting answers from the available list. Now the bot can deal with more complex sentences – even with typos, errors and slang. Chatbot II generation on the left, chatbot I generation on the right. Data from the store’s website show that the bot supports 5,000 a day. conversations, even 60 conversations at the same time, which can significantly relieve consultants. Of course, you can always connect with t...

Huawei Mate 40 series: under-display camera deleted

Image
While previous reports indicated that the Huawei Mate 40 series will have a camera under the display , a new report suggests otherwise. According to Digital Chat Station, the upcoming flagship will not have this new camera technology. With the camera under the display, the image sensor is located under the display on the front and is only visible or recognizable when it is in use. Prototypes of this technology have already been seen, but the results achieved have so far left something to be desired. An "informant" now reads on Weibo that he allegedly saw production lines of the Huawei Mate 40 series. And that there will be no camera under the display. This is in direct contradiction to reports that Huawei would be the first smartphone manufacturer to launch the first device with a selfie camera under the display. Huawei was supposed to get exclusive access to Visionox’s under-display camera solution later this year. Although many smartphone manufacturers have confirmed t...

Redmi 9A: Specs, price and features for the new budget phone from Xiaomi – TrustedReviews

Image
Xiaomi has just unveiled new details about offshoot Redmi’s latest budget device. We’ve been big fans of Redmi phones in the past, so let’s see how the Redmi 9A stands up. Redmi has so far been a little bit coy about releasing all the information and specs for the 9A, however it has released a few specs Redmi 9A Specs Xiaomi’s Redmi brand has been churning out cheap, yet impressive, phones for a while now and they usually have some of the best specs in their class. The Redmi 9A continues this trend, with an HD+ display, octa-core MediaTek Helio G25 chipset along with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. Of course, these are fairly low-end internals, however this device will likely sit firmly in the very affordable end of the market. You’ve got a huge 5000mAh battery too that Xiaomi says has a ‘high charge cycle count’ that should, when paired with the 720p display, lead to some fairly long endurance.

POCO F2 Pro Review — Good Sequels Can Be Hard To Make – Pokde.Net

Image
I think after all this while, you guys would probably know me as quite the fan of the POCO brand of smartphones. I mean, there’s very little to dislike with the POCOPHONE F1 . I am not even sure whether it is now going to just be referred to as the POCO F1, or will it continue to be called the POCOPHONE F1 globally. But I digress. The affordable device offered exactly what I needed, good performance for gaming and a decent enough camera for daily use, especially when you throw Gcam into the equation. Now with the POCO F2 Pro , it’s no longer a mid-range device with a flagship chipset thrown in. It offers a lot more of the niceties that you would expect from a flagship. A lot, but not all. Sounds pretty much like the recipe of the original, right? Well, let’s see. There’s little in the box… As usual for a Xiaomi smartphone, the box contents are quite spartan. You get a fast 33W charger, the accompanying USB-C cable, the usual documentation and a pretty nice case that’s hard on ...
