OnePlus last year added the OnePlus Nord N10 5G and Nord N100 to its Nord family. It should be noted that the OnePlus Nord is the company’s most affordable smartphone, which made its debut in the Indian market first.

Our Take
Xiaomi not only offers Mi 11 Ultra at its best pricing but also the best specification, although the camera resolution of the handset is at the lower end, but that does not mean this affects the picture quality. According to DxOMark camera review, Mi 11 Ultra has surpassed iPhone 12 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra to become the top-ranked camera phone in the market.
It received an overall camera ranking of 143 on the DxOMark benchmark, which is even higher than Huawei Mate 40 Pro+. Moreover, this phone has the ability to switch between 60fps and 30fps frame rates in 4K. So considering the pricing, specification and DxOMark camera rankings Xiaomi’s latest premium smartphone has left behind S21 Ultra and OnePlus 9 Pro to become our most preferred choice for you in this price bracket.

Google Lens is a very popular AI toolkit by the Alphabet-owned company that makes use of your smartphone’s camera to offer you useful information as well as accurate results. In simple words, it allows you to search for what you see and translates/find them on the internet. You can use it to discover landmarks, restaurants, search for an outfit or furniture and it can even identify plants and dogs. With the latest update, it now empowers you to copy and paste text from your notes. Apart from this, the feature will also allow you to translate a screenshot taken from a device using Google Lens.
At present this screenshot feature on Google Lens is available for Android 11 and will not be accessible on the versions below the OS except for those devices that have upgraded to Android 11.
Before the Google Lens latest update, one was able to use Lens to quickly copy and paste text from paper notes and documents to your phone to save time. But now you will also be able to select text with Lens and tap “Copy to computer” to quickly paste it on another signed-in device with Chrome. This would prove to be very useful when you don’t have much time to type. Simply copy your handwritten notes (if you write neatly!) and paste them on your laptop without having to retype them all or emailing them from the smartphone.
This feature comes to thelatest version of Chrome, and for both devices to be signed into the same Google account.
Moreover, it can now learn new words and how to pronounce them correctly. Instead of using the Google translate app you can now use Lens to translate words in Spanish, Chinese and more than 100 other languages, by pointing your camera at the text. In addition to this, you can also use Google lens to practice words or phrases that are difficult to say. To get started, select the text with Lens and tap the new Listen button to hear it read out loud—and finally figure out how to say “hipopótamo!”
At some point in time, you come across a word or phrase which you don’t understand in a book or newspaper, like “gravitational waves,” Google Lens can help. Now, with in-line Google Search results, you can select complex phrases or words to quickly learn more.
According to the tech giant, all of the above Google Lens features are being rolled out globally except for ‘Listen’, which is available on Android and coming soon to iOS.

Let’s start by answering the most common question first, what is Encryption? Encryption is a process of converting a piece of information into a form that can’t be read by anyone except one who has the access key. Encryption is commonly used in different instances even though we may not observe it. For instance, the messages sent or received by WhatsApp or Signal app remain encrypted throughout the transfer chain. They remain in their raw format only at the users’ ends. Other examples of data that remain encrypted include cash withdrawal from ATMs and data on cloud storage like AWS and Microsoft Azure. There are plenty of ways to encrypt file in Windows 10, but let’s first understand a few fundamentals.
In This Article
The types of file encryption methods
Here are two commonly used encryption techniques:
Encryption using Symmetric Keys
It is the traditional way in which all users decode the data with a single key. The communication is encrypted and decrypted using the same key. As a result, it is critical that you make the password more complex and harder to extract.
The longer the key, the better the security! The AES 256 algorithm is an unusual example of this type of encryption. The usage of 256 characters gives both complexity and security.
Encryption that is asymmetric
It is a straightforward encryption scheme that employs two mathematically complementary keys known as “Public Key” and “Private Key.” The public key is used for encryption in this manner, and Decryption is performed using the private key. Using the private key, only authenticated recipients can decrypt the message.
This approach encrypts data while also validating the identity of those communicating. This most recent method is slower but more secure.
There are several methods to encrypt your files and folders. Several third-party free and paid applications are available that provide quick and fast methods to encrypt your data. Here, we will use the built-in feature of Windows 10 to encrypt files and folders.
What exactly is an Encrypting File System?
EFS enables you to encrypt already-existing files and folders in your system. EFS stands for an Encryption file system. By following the decryption method, you can still alter these files and directories.
Encrypting files on your computer also helps to protect your data from illegal access. Encrypting File System is a native feature of Microsoft Windows that allows you to encrypt files/folders on your hard drives and portable media.
You can encrypt and decrypt certain files by using the advanced attributes of a file’s properties. EFS features let you create backups of your encryption certificates so that you never lose access to critical files.
How can you encrypt a file or a folder in Windows 10?
To encrypt a file or a folder in Windows 10, follow these steps.
Step 1: Right-click the file or folder that you want to encrypt.

Step 7: Click OK in the Properties. You will be prompted with a Confirm Attribute Changes window. Here you can select either of the following options.
Apply changes to this folder only
Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files
Here you can select either of the following options.
Choose the desired option and click OK.
You will receive a pop-up notification that asks you to “Back up your file encryption certificate and key”. You may also access the message in your notification area.
Insert a USB drive to your PC and click Back up now (recommended). You must back up your encryption key otherwise you may lose access to your encrypted file or folder.
Click Next to create a certificate and accept the file format.
Set a strong password to secure your file or folder.
Click Next and choose your USB.
Confirm the password and click Next.
Click Finish and keep your USB in a secure place.
How can you decrypt a file or a folder?
To decrypt a file or a folder in Windows 10, follow these steps.
Step 1: Right-click the file or folder that you want to decrypt.
Step 2: In the menu, select Properties.
In the menu, select Properties.windows 10
Step 3: Click the Advanced button given in the Attributes section. Here you can change the settings for the folder.
Step 4: Under the Compress or Encrypt attributes, uncheck the box that says, “Encrypt contents to secure data”.

This is how you can encrypt files in Windows 10 and as easily decrypt files in Windows 10 as well.
The Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturer, Suzuki has unveiled the Misano EV roadster concept. The design of the concept was approved by Suzuki from the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), Italy. The name of the concept car has been inspired by the Misano World Circuit motorcycle racetrack.
The design of the Misano EV roadster concept was carried out by a team of 24 students pursuing their Masters. These students came from different countries like India, Israel, Italy, France, Belgium, Lebanon, Albania, Turkey, and Spain.

What led Suzuki to design the Misano EV roadster concept?
Suzuki is renowned for manufacturing compact cars and motorcycles. Their hatchbacks released in collaboration with the Indian car company, Maruti have a unique position in the market. Suzuki manufactures a wide range of motorcycles that suit different kinds of people. Some of its famous bikes include the following.
Access 125: the efficient scooter especially popular in the Indian market.
Hayabusa: the first choice for several sports bike riders.
Gixxer 250: the famous Commuter
Suzuki is making a transition to vehicles powered by electricity. This is evident from the launch of the Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter in India. Moreover, the company will launch the Wagon R EV supported by DC fast-charging. The Misano EV roadster concept is a new dimension of the electric vehicle with high speed and an elevated driving experience.

How does the Suzuki Misano EV roadster concept look like?
The Misano EV roadster concept has a form factor with a length of 4,000 mm, a width of 1,750 mm and a height of 1,000 mm. The concept car design features two seats arranged in a unique tandem seating layout. Generally, roadsters have a side-to-side seating layout but the Misano EV roadster concept offers a cockpit experience. The roadster concept gives the feel of a motorcycle with a car chassis. Besides, the small windscreen resembles that of a Suzuki bike.
The Misano EV roadster concept lacks a steering wheel. Instead, it has a handlebar as you find in a Suzuki motorcycle. The left side consists of a rollover hoop whereas the right side accommodates the battery pack. The specifications of the battery are yet to be revealed. The car concept exhibits a smooth surface with arrow-shaped LED lights. Interestingly, the door exists only on the left side. A glass panel is integrated with the door to give it an elegant appearance. At the same time, the grey paint and the OZ Racing wheels give it a sporty look.
What is the significance of the Suzuki Misano EV roadster concept?
It’s not the first time that Suzuki has collaborated with the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), Italy. The Misano EV roadster concept indeed presents a glimpse of a future production sportscar. The roadster lies somewhere in between a car and a motorcycle. The slim design gives an assurance of its mobility. The fully electric design complements the future reliance of cars purely on electricity. That day is not far when the materialised version of the Misano EV roadster concept will race against the major electric vehicle players like Tesla and Volkswagen.

According to PUBG Lite developers, “Dear Players, We are deeply grateful for the passion and support from the astounding number of PUBG LITE fans that have been with us.

Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to close service after much deliberation and the time has come for our journey to end”.

Why was PUBG Lite terminated in India?
The shutting down of the PUBG Lite is different from that of the PUBG Mobile in India. The government of India had imposed a ban on 59 Chinese mobile application including the PUBG Mobile. The immediate ban of these apps was a responsive stance of India in the backdrop of Chinese aggression along the Indo-China border.
According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, the apps were banned for involving in activities “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of the state and public order,” under Section 69A of the Information and Technology (IT) Act.
After the ban, the PUBG Lite and the console versions had kept functioning because they were primarily created by Krafton, a South Korean developer. However, the console and PC version could not attract Indian gamers as much as the mobile version did. Although PUBG fans opted for the Lite version they could not get the same thrill offered by the mobile version. Due to a diminishing fan base, the company had no choice but to terminate the Lite version as well.
How will be the PUBG Lite termination carried out?
PUBG Lite developers have revealed that PUBG Lite will be shut down gradually. The termination commenced with the shutting down of the lite.pubg.com website. Now the portal has gone out of service. On opening, it displays the Service Termination Notice. The servers of the PUBG Lite game ceased to function at 10:30 AM IST on April 29, 2021.
How will be the PUBG Lite termination carried out?
The players can no longer find matches to play or avail of in-game features like buying currencies. The game developers state that the Facebook page will remain active until May 29, 2021, after which the player support will come to an end.
According to PUBG Lite developers, “You will be able to continue to play the game and spend in-game credits as normal, including the L-COIN that you already have, until the termination time. PUBG LITE Facebook will be open even after the game service termination until further notice. For further inquiries regarding service termination, please contact our player support at https://litesupport.pubg.com/“.
What is the significance of the termination of PUBG Lite? Will it make way for PUBG: Mobile?
The shutting of the PUBG Lite seems to contradict the news of the coming of the PUBG Mobile. Krafton has been planning to release its video game in India with a new name i.e. PUBG Mobile India. Almost all the reports, insiders and sources confirm that game shall be released in the coming months. However, none of them carries material information regarding the launch date. Considering the heat of the rumours, we can expect significant outcomes regarding the video game in the next two months.

Go to Start > Apps and Features
Identify unnecessary applications
Click the Uninstall button to remove them.
Uninstall undesirable application

Google Drive: 15GB of free storage
Microsoft OneDrive: 5GB of free storage
Dropbox: 2GB of free storage
Delete temporary files

To delete temporary files, follow these steps.
Go to Start and type %temp%.

It must be noted that deleting temporary files does not affect the installed applications or other files and folders. You may not be able to delete some temporary files because they are constantly used by the system.
Xiaomi leaves behind Samsung to gain the top spot in the Indian market owing to strong sales on all online platforms. According to the latest research report by Canalys, India’s smartphone shipments grew 11 percent to 37.1 million units in Q1 2021 however COVID-19 resurgence will hit Q2.
The Canalys Smartphone Market Pulse report says that the favourable macroeconomic factors helped smartphone vendors capitalize on the growing importance of smartphones for remote education for Generation Z, for work and leisure for Millennials. In the Q1 of 2021, the Indian market recorded 37.1 million units while Xiaomi retained its top spot as the market leader with 10.5 million shipments accounting for 28% of the market share.
On the other hand, Samsung has fallen to the second position with shipping 7.0 million units. its market share fell to 19% from 21% in the previous quarter. Vivo reserved the third position with 6.7 million shipments followed by Oppo with 4.7 million units and Realme completed the top five with 4.3 million.
The Canalys report points out that in Q1 a surge in the device offerings appeared to be due to subsiding COVID-19 cases. Canalys Analyst Sanyam Chaurasia emphasizes that “It was a quarter to celebrate in India, as every one of the top five vendors grew”.
He further added that “Xiaomi, for example, continued to drive its multi-brand strategy in established online channels, and is now implementing new initiatives to grow its offline presence. For example, its ‘Mi Store on Wheels’ turns road vehicles into mobile stores to reach smaller towns and rural locations. In the premium segment, Apple had a stellar performance in what is traditionally a soft quarter. Following a strong festival quarter, it shipped over a million iPhones in Q1, with demand for the iPhone 12 supported by the local assembly and attractive finance offers, as well as sustained demand for the older iPhone 11. But the market-wide celebration will be short-lived, as a resurgence of COVID-19 in India in Q2 will derail momentum.”
The smartphone shipments in India are also likely to jump in Q2 2021 due to the second wave of COVID-19. As the geographical distribution of cases varies widely, a nationwide lockdown seems unlikely. But regional lockdowns could hamper the transport of raw materials and devices due to limited inter-state travel. Hence, for smartphone brands and channels, building up optimum inventory could prove to be a hurdle in the second half of the year.
On the flipside Varun Kannan, Canalys Analyst also highlighted that unfavourable macroeconomic factors will lead to a rising smartphone ASP. According to the analyst, the combination of the ongoing supply crunch on key imported components and a weaker Rupee will make it increasingly difficult for vendors to maintain margins at current price levels. Therefore impacting the cost, which will hit particularly hard in the sub-US$200 smartphone segment, which accounted for 81% of the market last year.

Amazon Prime Day is expected to take place by the end of the first half of the year 2021. The event is happening earlier this time as compared to 2020. The Amazon Prime Day usually happens in July every year. However, the event was shifted last year due to the COVID-19 outbreak and took place in October. The sale usually observes a rise in the buying options and hence higher delivery. The increased interaction in the supply chain could spread the infection.

What is the Amazon Prime Day event?
The Amazon Prime Day is an annual bonanza offered to customers subscribed to Amazon’s Prime membership. The event had started in 2015 on the occasion of Amazon’s 20th anniversary. The sale offers attractive deals and heavy discounts on various products. The company offers discounts on its own line of products like echo devices and Amazon Fire TV sets. For availing of the offers, customers use Amazon’s website or mobile application. Moreover, they can give commands to Alexa to add products to their cart.
What is the company’s approach regarding Amazon Prime Day 2021?
Amazon has opted to shift the Prime Day event even before when it normally takes place. Last year, the event had been pushed to October when the Black Friday Sale was near. As a result, the festive season had observed two sale events back to back while the summer season had gone vacant.
Conducting the Amazon Prime Day 2021 in June will ensure that there exists sufficient time between consecutive sale events. The company believes that this approach will sufficiently attract the attention of customers. Moreover, fixing an early date will have a cushioning effect if the event gets shifted this year as well based on the COVID-19 scenario.
What is the company’s approach regarding Amazon Prime Day 2021?
What are the expectations of Amazon from Prime Day 2021?
Amazon recently rolled out the earning for the first quarter (Q1) of the year 2021. The company observed an increase in the sale of about 44 per cent as compared to last year. The total revenue generated by Amazon in the first quarter of 2021 is $108.5 billion. This is beyond the expectations of the company and considering the pandemic situation throughout the world.
Placing the Amazon Prime Day event in June will give a boost to the total revenue of the second quarter. The second quarter is the most challenging quarter for any company. In the second half of the year, e-commerce automatically shoots up due to the festive season. With outstanding sales in the first quarter, the company would need to have a big plan for the second quarter to keep the graph up.
