In the recent year the Chinese electronics have been doing really well in India but due to deadly dispute between Indian and the Chinese troops people in the country have been encouraging each other to boycott China-made products, that includes all the electronics items, smartphones as well as apps like TikTok. So the customers these days don’t want to buy Chinese products and this would definitely be benefiting other brands such as Samsung. Right now four of the top five smartphone brands in India are from China which includes Xiaomi, Vivo. Realme and Oppo. According to the report India is known to be the second-largest smartphone market after China. Right now companies such as Xiaomi, Nokia and Apple don’t manufacture phones in India but Oppo, Vivo and Samsung phones are locally made as a part of the Make in India campaign. These brands make all or some parts of the smartphone in India and most of the devices made in India are assembled in the country therefore no handsets are fully made in India. So we have made a list of brands that are selling smartphones that are made and sold in India only.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G breaks the 12MP barrier by giving you millions more pixels in each photograph that means you can pinch in to capture details you’ve never seen before.
Moreover, Samsung claims that in the Galaxy S20’s Night mode off photo, you can see outlines of the band members but mostly the glowsticks and neon objects. On the other hand in the Night mode on photo, the faces and outfits of the band are much clearer and more colourful.
In order to capture crisp content with staggeringly high-resolution video for a smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S20 5G’s resolution jumped from 4K to 8K—4x bigger than UHD and 16x bigger than HD.

When it comes to watching news, all of us want to watch something that is timely and credible. In 2018, Facebook had introduced added the context button that provided information about the sources of articles in News Feed. Now, it has rolled out a notification screen across the globe that will enable Facebook users know if the news articles they are about to share are more than 90 days old.
In order to ensure people have the context they need to make informed decisions about what to share on Facebook, John Hegeman, VP Feed and Stories, said, “The notification screen will appear when people click the share button on articles older than 90 days, but will allow people to continue sharing if they decide an article is still relevant.”
“Over the past several months, our internal research found that the timeliness of an article is an important piece of context that helps people decide what to read, trust and share. News publishers in particular have expressed concerns about older stories being shared on social media as current news, which can misconstrue the state of current events,” added Hegeman.
According to a Facebook blog post, some news publishers have already taken steps to address this issue on their own websites by prominently labelling older articles to prevent outdated news from being used in misleading ways.
Facebook further added that it will also test other uses of notification screens over the next few months. For posts with links mentioning COVID-19, the social-networking giant is exploring using a similar notification screen that provides information about the source of the link and directs people to the COVID-19 Information Centre for authoritative health information. Through providing more context, Facebook’s goal is to make it easier for people to identify content that’s timely, reliable and most valuable to them.
Earlier, the Mark Zuckerberg-owned social networking giant has executed its plan to label media outlets that are wholly or partially under the editorial control of their respective government.
In an official blog post, Nathaniel Gleicher, Head of Cybersecurity Policy at Facebook, said, “We’re providing greater transparency into these publishers because they combine the influence of a media organization with the strategic backing of a state, and we believe people should know if the news they read is coming from a publication that may be under the influence of a government.”
Moreover, Facebook will also start labelling ads from state-controlled media outlets later this year to ensure the users that it’s equally transparent when it comes to paid content. “State-controlled media outlets rarely advertise in the US. Nevertheless, later this summer we will begin blocking ads from these outlets in the US out of an abundance of caution to provide an extra layer of protection against various types of foreign influence in the public debate ahead of the November 2020 election in the US,” the social-networking giant added.

Google stated, “Since its launch just 8 months ago, over 3 million businesses are now using it to accept and make payments digitally. With the help of features like frictionless on-boarding and video verification, any small business can easily adopt digital payments and start accepting payments easily and instantly.”
Moreover, Google is also working with its partner financial institutions to surface their loan offerings for merchants that can be availed right within Google Pay for Business app. As per the tech giant, this is something that is especially pertinent in these uncertain times of COVID-19 pandemic. Google will soon launch this offering.

We introduced this feature in May and starting today, we are expanding this offering to become available across India.

Under Google’s Digital Unlocked program, the tech giant has so far supported over 1 million businesses and individuals to gain from its digital skilling program in India.

The company is currently testing the faster version of its Snapdragon 8cx SoC. The import-export databases have listed down a variant bearing SC8180XP internal model number, although the Snapdragon 8cx chipset is usually known as SC8180X. The report says that it is not yet clear whether the P mentioned in the model number stands for the plus version as it was last seen in the second half of Qualcomm’s high-end SoCs for smartphones.The report stated that the SC8180XP will be having eight computing cores just like its predecessor. The four out of the eight-core processor will run at 3.15 gigahertz maximum clock rate that the so-called gold cores should achieve. The four economical silver cores continue to run 1.8 GHz, while the Adreno 680 GPU will hoover along at 718 megahertz.“The clock rates of the Snapdragon 8cx “Plus” would differ significantly from the normal 8cx, in which the gold cores achieve a maximum of 2.84 gigahertz, while the economical “silver” cores reach a maximum of 1.8 gigahertz. It would be conceivable that Qualcomm wants to offer higher average performance with the option of short-term performance peaks and has therefore changed the timing of the cores,” the document stated.Right now Qualcomm has the faster version of the Snapdragon 8cx however it’s a custom SoC known as Microsoft SQ1 which currently runs the Microsoft Surface Pro X tablet. The latest chipset on which the company is working on might be able to achieve a higher speed. However, we would still recommend you take it with a pinch of salt as the information provided by the publisher is unofficial and has come from the database of a third-party provider.

According to research done by the antivirus firm Avast no less than 17 apps on Google Play are a part of a Trojan clan called HiddenAds. The company has revealed that its researchers have found out that these apps have intrusive ads as well as stealth features that can disguise one as safe and useful applications.Avast has discovered a large campaign of HiddenAds on the Google Play Store. As per the company, these HiddenAds refer to a family of Trojans that are masked as safe and useful but in fact, only serve to display intrusive ads to the user. The discovered apps mask as games and have a timer-triggered hide app icon feature alongside the ability to display device-wide ads. The antivirus firm also has 15 million combined downloads on the Play Store.The firm says the initial detection was made through similarities with a previous HiddenAds campaign that was also present on the Play Store. On further findings and analysis of the app via apklab.io the firm was able to detect an extensive operation of 47 apps through shared activities, features, and network traffic. Based on the user’s experience and reviews on the Play store these apps were troublemaking. This combined with the apps’ ability to hide their icon and display ads outside the app confirmed that they are part of the HiddenAds family. These apps are referred to as an adware which is a type of malware that attacks the user with intrusive and consistent ads and can even steal your personal information, track you online and more. The team of Avast researchers explains that the most prominent feature to identify these apps is that all the applications comes in the form of a mobile game. It has been identified that all the games are generally an older version of the game that comes with added layers of ads and the hide icon ability. Once the user downloads the app, a timer starts within the app. However, the user is allowed to play the game for a set period of time, after which the timer activates the hide icon feature of the app.“Once the icon is hidden, the app starts to display ads throughout the device without needing further actions from the user. The apps have the ability to draw over other apps to display timed ads that cannot be skipped. Several apps even open the browser to display intrusive ads,” the firmware explained. Due to the hidden icon, the user may be unsure about the origin of the ads. Although the app can still be uninstalled using the app manager features on the phone the users are required to search the source of the ads. Also, another common characteristic of these apps is that the developer only has a single app on their developer profile with a generic email address. In the same way, the Terms of Service are also the same across the exposed apps, likely pointing to an organized campaign by one actor. According to Avast the apps already have more than 15 million downloads and the reports suggest that the mainly targeted users are basically from India and South East Asia and are spreading through game ads focused in these regions.To help you out avoid downloading malicious apps in the Google Play Store, follow the below-mentioned steps:
Carefully check the permissions the app requests before installing it. See what the app is asking to access, if the app is asking for data it does not need, it might be a red flag.
Read the privacy policy and the terms and conditions.
Read the user reviews. If there are a large number of negative reviews, you might want to reconsider downloading the app.
Download an antivirus app on your mobile device like Avast Mobile Security so that adware and other malicious apps are identified and blocked.

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: Realme UI based on top of Android 10iQoo 3: iQoo UI 1.0 on top of Android 10
Price
Realme X3 SuperZoom: Rs 27,999iQoo 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.Shaadi.com is a popular matrimonial website being run in the country to find matches for marriages. The platform had a feature which has come into the controversies allowing users to search partners on the website based on the colour of their skin. After a petition filed against the filter option by US-based Hetal Lakhani via Change.org the controversial skin colour search filter has now been removed from the platform. This controversy has gained more momentum in support of ongoing black lives matter campaigns and anti-racism protests.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 BBCHetal 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.
