Today the Chinese company, who claims to be an Indian company, launched the Realme X3 SuperZoom smartphone in India. Where every other company is releasing 5G devices having a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 or the latest chipsets, Realme’s latest offering is powered by Snapdragon 855+ processor which is an outdated chipset. With a year-old chip, it comes with pricing that has massive competition with better specs. If you have already made up your mind to buy the handset (for some reason), then we strongly recommend not to buy the iQoo 3 instead.
Realme X3 SuperZoom: 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage with 12GB of RAM with 256GB storage
iQoo 3: 12GB RAM with 256GB of storage
Battery
Realme X3 SuperZoom: 4,200mAh battery
iQoo 3: 4,440mAh battery
Operating system
Realme X3 SuperZoom: Realme UI based on top of Android 10
iQoo 3: iQoo UI 1.0 on top of Android 10
Price
Realme X3 SuperZoom: Rs 27,999
iQoo 3: Rs 34,990 upwards (discounts of up to Rs 5K available on Flipkart)
Our Take
iQoo 3 definitely offers better specifications in comparison to its price. iQoo 3 also offers a 5G option. Realme is cutting a lot of corners to give you 3rd world smartphones which all look the same. Shoddy body and really bad after-sales service is also part of the package for Realme. While iQoo has a better service network connected with Vivo. If you are looking for a phone with the up to date features as well as latest chipset and can last you long our pick is definitely iQoo 3 over the Realme X3 SuperZoom. Oh, did we tell gaming on iQoo is superb thanks to its latest chipset and better storage. Seems like Realme did not do homework this time at all.

After a lot of criticism on the latest functionality brought by Shaadi.com to filter out matches according to preferred skin colour has now been turned down. A US-based woman had filed a petition against the matrimonial website via Change.org. The website has been facing the heat from several users on all its social media platform’s latest search feature.
“We demand that Shaadi.com must permanently remove its skin colour filter to prevent users from selectively searching for matches based on their preferred skin colour,” the petition says.
When the users on the website joined the website to find a potential match for themselves they were asked to select a skin colour by choosing how dark or light skin coloured match they are seeking for. This filter was found under the skin tone option on the platform. But now it has to remove the skin tone filter following pressure from the users.
On Twitter, the company responded to a tweet when asked about the skin tone filter, “Since we do not collect or capture this information on our platform, one cannot filter profiles using this. Hence, this search filter has no implications for matchmaking. That said, the search filter was a blind spot from our side and we have removed it.”
On this Shaadi.com responded, that the filter “was not serving any purpose” and was a “product debris we missed removing”. According to BBC, a Meghan Nagpal was using the website to find a potential life partner who would also be of Indian origin. “I emailed them (shaadi.com) and one representative said this is a filter required by most parents,”
Hetal and Megan are part of the same group where Megan shared this incident on the group and after getting to know about this she was shocked because a company usually has a social responsibility, Lakhani stated.
“I wanted to tackle this in a way that could make a difference so I started a petition.
“And it just took off like wildfire. Within 14 hours we had over 1,500 signatures. People were so glad we were raising the issue,” Lakhani told BBC
Hetal in its petition said, “Shaadi.com removing its colour filter doesn’t change the reality that people will continue to anchor desirability and suitability onto people’s skin colour. But it will stop giving users the option to discriminate on the basis of something so shallow and arbitrary.”
In India finding a match based on lighter skin colour is not the only obsession in the country but here people are still looking for matches based on caste, creed and religion and reasons that a girl having these traits fulfils the ability to become a perfect daughter in law. Such a filter by matrimonial website Shaadi.com encourages the users to make a biased search on its platform based on skin colour.

After the launch of Hindi interface last year, Flipkart has now enabled three new languages on its platform – Tamil, Telugu and Kannada as part of its vision to make online commerce more inclusive and accessible for Indian language users. With this, Flipkart aims to reduce the access barriers to e-commerce for native language speakers as industry reports have revealed that Indian language internet users are expected to account for nearly 75 percent of India’s internet user base by 2021.
According to Flipkart, The introduction of 3 vernacular interfaces is in line with Flipkart’s aim of developing state-of-the-art innovations to solve for the various pain points of consumers transitioning to e-commerce.
Asserting that Flipkart has introduced multiple solutions under Voice, Video and Vernacular to increase ecommerce adoption for millions of consumers, Kalyan Krishnamurthy, Chief Executive Officer of Flipkart Group, said, “We truly believe that language, if solved well, can be an opportunity rather than a barrier to reach millions of consumers who have been underserved. The introduction of Tamil, Telugu and Kannada interfaces, in addition to Hindi & English, is a meaningful step in that direction in line with our mission to democratize ecommerce in India.”
As Southern states account for a significant proportion of Flipkart’s growing user base coupled with a higher adoption rate of native language script, regional language interfaces will help make e-commerce more inclusive. The new language interfaces use a judicious mix of translated and transliteration of words to make shopping more engaging for consumers. This follows an ethnographic study that was conducted over several months to get relevant insights that helped the team develop a platform that enables consumers to interact with the platform in their own language and encourage independence in purchase decisions.
“Today, almost 58 percent of our user base comes from tier-II cities and beyond and with new language interfaces of Tamil, Telugu and Kannada along with Hindi (introduced last year) will further improve users’ ecommerce journeys by making it simpler and more personal,” said Jeyandran Venugopal, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Flipkart.
The three new language interfaces on Flipkart, are developed post the introduction of Hindi interface 9 months ago which has witnessed impressive adoption, concluded Flipkart.

In what is being consider as an historic decision for the Mac, Apple during the WWDC20 has announced that it will transition the Mac to its world-class custom silicon from using Intel processors to deliver industry-leading performance and powerful new technologies. Developers can now get started updating their apps to take advantage of the advanced capabilities of Apple silicon in the Mac. This transition will also establish a common architecture across all Apple products, making it far easier for developers to write and optimize their apps for the entire ecosystem.
Apple also introduced macOS Big Sur which delivers its biggest update in more than a decade and includes technologies that will ensure a smooth and seamless transition to Apple silicon. This next major release of macOS can easily convert their existing apps to run on Apple silicon by taking advantage of its powerful technologies and performance. With this, developers can make their iOS and iPadOS apps available on the Mac without any modifications for the very first time.
In order to enable developers to get started with Apple silicon, the Cupertino-based tech giant is also launching the Universal App Quick Start Program, which provides access to documentation, forums support, beta versions of macOS Big Sur and Xcode 12, and the limited use of a Developer Transition Kit (DTK), a Mac development system based on Apple’s A12Z Bionic System on a Chip (SoC).
Apple plans to ship the first Mac with Apple silicon by the end of the year and complete the transition in about two years. Apple will continue to support and release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come, and has exciting new Intel-based Macs in development. The transition to Apple silicon represents the biggest leap ever for the Mac.
Since more than last 10 years, Apple’s world-class silicon design team has been building and refining Apple SoCs. The result is a scalable architecture custom designed for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch that leads the industry in unique features and performance per watt, and makes each of them best in class. According to the tech giant, “Apple is designing a family of SoCs for the Mac. This will give the Mac industry-leading performance per watt and higher performance GPUs — enabling app developers to write even more powerful pro apps and high-end games.”
Additionally, it also provides access to technologies such as the Neural Engine that will make the Mac an amazing platform for developers to use machine learning. This will also create a common architecture across all Apple products, making it far easier for developers to write and optimize software for the entire Apple ecosystem.
Meanwhile, an AppleInsider report has revealed that Intel spokesperson claimed, “Apple is a customer across several areas of business and we will continue to support them. Intel remains focused on delivering the most advanced PC experiences and a wide range of technology choices that redefine computing. We believe Intel-powered PCs— like those based on our forthcoming Tiger Lake mobile platform— provide global customers the best experience in the areas they value most, as well as the most open platform for developers, both today and into the future.”
