Twitter is testing a new feature allowing users to tweet and connect with communities with similar interests
Twitter has announced that it has begun testing global communities features on its platform. The functionality will allow tweeting to groups or people with the same interests, reflecting more of the thriving and niche discussions on Twitter. At the moment this function is available on iOS and web browsers but will be extended to the Android platform as well. While announcing the feature, Twitter said, “There’s always been a broad, weird and wonderful range of conversations on Twitter, but we haven’t done enough to help connect people who are into the same things. And now, that’s changing. Starting today, we’re testing Communities, a way to easily find and connect with people who want to talk about the same things you do.” The users can join communities on Twitter where they can Tweet directly to that group instead of to all your followers. Only members in the same Community are able to reply and join the conversation so it stays intimate and relevant.  The communities feature on Twitter will allow the users to Tweet only to their Community for a focused conversation. Also, the Community pages and timelines are publicly available so anyone can read, Quote, Tweet, and report Community Tweets.  Twitter says that it will continue to support public conversation and help people find Communities that match their interests, while also creating a more intimate space for conversation. “With Communities, moderators pick the focus, create the Community rules, and invite the people who will make it a great place for conversation. Think of Communities as places created for conversation where the vibe and tone is set by people who share the same interests and want to have relevant conversations. Moderators set the Community rules and can also invite others to moderate their space to keep things on track and focused,” the social media platform via its blog post said. According to the microblogging platform, the Communities creation will be limited but in the coming months, Twitter will allow more people to create Communities. Some of the initial communities that are being tested surround popular conversations such as dogs, weather, sneakers, skincare, and astrology. Right now, you have to be invited to a Community by a moderator or another member. The interested ones can create a Community here.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Poco M3 Pro 5G review (long term): Good for gaming and daily usage
We have seen some of the best affordable devices during the first half of the year in India. Poco and Redmi are some of the few brands that came up with multiple budgets and mid-range smartphones in the country. These two companies have established themselves in the market and are now focusing to conquer the 5G segment. Poco started the year with the release of Poco M3, and now it has launched its follow-up device- Poco M3 Pro 5G. This is not only the company’s first, but India’s first 5G device, and we have been using the phone for quite a long time so that we can figure out how well the phone performs in the long run. So here is our review of Poco M3 Pro 5G (long term).

Poco M3 Pro 5G Review: Design and Display

The company has opted for a glossy plastic finish on the rear of Poco M3 Pro 5G. At first sight, it will look like glass, but the rear is an absolute fingerprint magnet. Yes, because of the glossy finish the back panel is more prone to attracting fingerprints, smudges and scratches, but the company has provided a back that is of good quality and will help in keeping the device safe. But we do suggest keeping a micro-fibre cloth handy. Poco M3 Pro 5G Review: Design and Display The panel on the back has a fairly large Poco branding just below the camera module, which the company calls its switchblade design. The camera set-up consists of three sensors and a dual flash just beside the primary sensor. The phone is not uncomfortable, bulky or heavy, it is well balanced. You also get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the right side that also doubles up as a home button. The sensor is located in the right position and is a reliable one. Poco M3 Pro 5G Review: Design and Display  Also, the volume button is given right above the fingerprint sensor and on the other side, you get a SIM card slot. The company provides speakers on the top as well as at the bottom, so a stereo speaker setup. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is positioned at the top and the USB Type-C slot at the bottom. This 5G smartphone by Poco comes in three-colour options of Cool Blue, Power Black, and Poco Yellow. We have the Black colour variant for the review but the other 2 colour variants are quite good as well. review of Poco M3 Pro 5G Coming to the display, the Poco M3 Pro 5G is highlighted with a 6.5-inch LCD having 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution with a circular camera cut out at the top centre. There is a dual 360 degrees light sensor setup that can detect and adjust the brightness to very high levels. The display comes with a 90Hz refresh rate panel but by default, it runs on 60Hz, 400 nits of brightness and is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3.  review of Poco M3 Pro 5G We did our testing with the 90Hz refresh rate mode on and the device worked smoothly while scrolling the web pages, social media feed and while UI navigation. While streaming HD content on this phone the colour reproduction is on the cooler side, which looks less saturated when compared to AMOLED displays.  The contrasts are higher and the dynamic range is average as well, so the overall streaming experience is not what is expected from an LCD panel. That being said, there are plenty of options available in the market that offer an OLED display for what Poco is asking for. On the brighter side, the adaptive refresh rate panel automatically adjusts to 50Hz, 60Hz or 90Hz depending upon what is actually being run on the screen; this makes the battery last longer. This surely gives you a personalised experience but is probably not recommended for streaming HD content, nonetheless it is good for daily usage.

Poco M3 Pro 5G review: Performance and Cameras

The Poco M3 Pro 5G is powered by an 8-core MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC with a clock speed of up to 2.2GHz paired with Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU under its hood. It is offered with up to 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM storage and 128GB of UFS2.2 storage. The device which we have used comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Notably, the global variant supports 12 5G bands, and the India variant which we have supports 5 bands.  The phone easily handles day-to-day tasks such as social media, chatting, and browsing through the web. The COD: Mobile game can be played smoothly at medium graphics and high frame rate. We did not notice any frame drops here. We even tried out Asphalt 9: Legends and we didn’t feel any issues in terms of frame rate drop or lag, so in this department, the device offers decent to good performance. The smartphone does get warm if you play for over 30 minutes, but we would not necessarily mind it and we cannot call it a heating issue. Poco M3 Pro 5G review: Performance and Cameras On the software front, Poco M3 Pro 5G runs on MIUI 12 based on Android 11. The biggest drawback of this operating system is that you will be spammed with plenty of notifications and advertisements that the pre-loaded unnecessary apps send. Yes, you do get bloatware, but they can be easily uninstalled. Poco M3 Pro 5G review: Performance and Cameras Coming to the cameras, the Poco 5G smartphone comes with a triple rear camera setup that consists of a 48MP main camera with an f/1.79 aperture. Further, assisted by a 2MP macro camera with f/2.4 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor with f/2.4. In terms of taking selfies, the device is equipped with an 8MP front-facing camera at f/2.0 fps. Poco M3 Pro 5G review: Performance and Cameras The Poco M3 Pro camera fails to maintain good contrast. In addition to this, the images produced also lack good dynamic range and sharpness. Surprisingly there is no ultra-wide lens, which is the biggest spoiler in our opinion. In terms of portraits as well, the phone fails to retain a natural skin tone, looks softer, lacks details and highlights. However, most images in daylight looked sharp and detailed, which is its saving grace. Poco M3 Pro 5G review: Performance and Cameras We were not very happy with the selfies too. The selfies looked faded, soft and lacked details. For portraits the edge detection is perfect but still, the images look washed out. Something that Poco can improve in the next update.  On the other side, the close-up shots at the same time produced punchy colours and were sharp. The camera struggles in low light conditions; there is visible noise as you can see in the sample images, but the brightness is boosted when night mode is turned on. In terms of video recording, you are limited to 1080p at 30fps on the Poco M3 Pro 5G. But in the end, POCO did not make this a photography phone, it is a gaming phone after all.  The 5,000mAh battery on the smartphone will not disappoint you at all. Under moderate usage, the phone delivers a full day of battery life. Though the company has reduced the battery’s capacity from 6,000mAh battery to 5,000, which comes on the Poco M3. But the 5G smartphone is shipped with a 22.5W fast charger, which is actually good as the M3 includes an 18W fast charger only. The 22.5W fast charge takes 2 hours to completely charge the phone.

Verdict

The company has made some compromises on the Poco M3 Pro 5G. The device is shipped with a similar camera set up as it has been shipped on the cheaper Poco M3. It does have 5G capabilities. Besides this, we think the company has not made any major changes in terms of features that too in the mid-price range. If the camera is your preference then you can definitely consider a better 4G smartphone. But if you want a good gaming smartphone within a budget (under Rs 20,000) this is one of the choices you should definitely look at.  Pros
  • 90Hz refresh rate
  • Decent battery life
  • Good for gaming
Cons
  • Below average camera performance
  • Lacks wide-angle lens
  • Charge time could have been better

Tinder adds a new Explore section, giving more control to users over who they meet
The online dating app Tinder keeps coming up with new features on its platform that enhance the user experience. Previously, the company brought an ID verification feature to make online dating safer and then it arrived with a Safety Centre for India. In the latest development, the social media platform has now added a new section titled Explore that will let the user find matches based on their interests, location, sexuality and more.  The Explore section is a newly-created hub within the app that will host completely new, interactive ways to use Tinder. It will give more control to users over who they meet by giving them the option to navigate through profiles arranged by interest, while also allowing them to access a growing list of exclusive social experiences, such as Hot Takes, Vibes and Swipe Night and many more to follow. With the addition of a new section, Tinder aims to provide new social experiences and will evolve its discovery options so members can find someone new for whatever they’re into.  Tinder adds a new Explore section, giving more control to users over who they meet Jim Lanzone, CEO of Tinder said, “A new generation of daters is asking for more from us in the post-Covid world: more ways to have fun and interact with others virtually and more control over who they meet on Tinder, Today’s launch of Explore is a major step in creating a deeper, multi-dimensional, interactive experience for our members that expands the possibilities of Tinder as a platform.” The members can now easily look or discover their potential matches by their interests, activity, age, and more. New interests will launch on a regular basis so members can find someone new for whatever they’re into. In addition to this, the member would only see a photo verified profile which will be a part of the Trust & Safety feature on Tinder. This will allow users to self verify through a series of real-time posed selfies, which are compared to existing profile photos using human-assisted AI technology. The profile which has the verified photos will bear a  blue checkmark and for the first time members can choose to only see Photo Verified profiles through a dedicated space in Explore.   The previously announced Swipe Night feature will also be accessible in the Explore Section from November. In addition to this, the recently announced Hot Takes will also be part of Explore now. Not only this it will also include Vibed which is basically a weekly event that allows members to express their opinions on everything on the online dating app.  According to Tinder it has started rolling out Explore Section features for members in all major English-speaking countries and is expected to be available around the world by mid-October.   For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

The firm recently appointed Disney veteran executive Amit Malhotra as the Managing Director of HBO Max in Southeast Asia and India. Ahead of the official launch HBO Max’s plans and pricing details have been leaked. The tariff may start from Rs 69 per month and would go up to Rs 329. As per the latest report by OnlyTech, the Indian plans and pricing details of the HBO Max has been revealed ahead of its unannounced launch. Citing information shared among a group of users under an online pre-launch survey conducted by ‘Nepa’ reveals the go-to-market strategy of HBO Max in India and offers an insight into its makeshift plans and pricing. Those who are unaware HBO Max is an OTT streaming service that offers a variety of big titles of movies and TV shows just like other platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, and Netflix. The service is likely to enter India soon; however, the exact launch details are yet to be revealed. Reportedly, HBO Max conducted an online pre-launch survey that revealed its strategy and plans for the potential future launch in India. In the country, the company plans to offer users its service at as low as Rs 69 per month. This will be ad-supported and will contain 2  concurrent streams across various devices which can be streamed in SD video quality. In addition to this, the content release will include late release content like series episodes when the whole season is available and movies one year after the theatrical run/digital release.  After the first plan, HBO Max India may also offer a second plan called Mobile which would be available at Rs 139 per month. The Mobile plan will include ad-free content which may be streamed in SD quality and would be available in a single concurrent stream viewable on mobile and tablets only. The users will be able to access regular releases like series episodes 2 to 3 weeks after the global release and movies 6-8 months after the theatrical run/digital release.  Lastly, the Standard plan will be available at Rs 329 a month. This will include ad-free content in UHD 4K resolution with three concurrent streams that would include early release directly after global/theatrical run/digital release. Moreover, all three tiers will allow users to create up to five profiles with access to content in all languages.

On the other hand, the annual subscription of the standard plan will see a 50% discount over the monthly plan cost priced at Rs 1974 yearly. It should be noted that these plans tend to change when they originally release so you can take it with a pinch of salt. UPDATE: Reply from HBO “We routinely conduct market research with consumers in countries around the world that test a wide range of possible offers and price points for our services. Those being reported that suggest a future launch of HBO Max in India are amongst many being tested and evaluated and do not reflect any current plans.” For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Apple Event: Apple confirms California Streaming event for September 14, may unveil iPhone 13 series
It’s that time of the year when the Cupertino based tech firm Apple usually makes its biggest announcement of the year. Yes, you guessed it right we are talking about the most anticipated Apple iPhone 13 series. The good news is that the company has officially announced its upcoming event- California Streaming on September 14.  The last time when Apple hosted its event it titled it ‘Spring Loaded’ but this time the company has titled it ‘California Streaming’. The Apple event will take place on September 14 at 10 am PDT, or 10.30 pm IST. As the tagline says, it is going to be another virtual event that will be streamed live from Apple Park. Traditionally the company never reveals anything about what products it is going to present at its upcoming event and going by its tradition this time also the Apple has not revealed anything. But speculations suggest we might see the new lineup of iPhone that is iPhone 13 and it might also be possible that Watch Series 7, and the AirPods 3 are likely to make an appearance. Apple Event: Apple confirms California Streaming event for September 14, may unveil iPhone 13 series At its previous Apple event, the company unveiled the new iPad Pro lineup but at the California Streaming event, Apple may introduce the iPhone 13 series because at the moment lots of rumours and leaks around the upcoming iPhone lineup are doing the rounds on the internet. Normally Apple announces its new iPhone at the fall event to recall the last time it was held in October but things might change this time as the delay last time was due to the production delay during the pandemic. Also, the company’s event poster usually gives out some hints but looking at the glowing Apple logo an-always-on display is expected. Moreover, the poster also shows the low light scenario which benefits from improved nighttime photography.  To give a better perspective Apple’s SVP of worldwide marketing has shared a video on Twitter that also shows the glowing logo while the glowing stars also indicate the upcoming iPhone 13 series might include astrophotography mode similar to what we have seen on the Google Pixel devices. The devices are also tipped to get a satellite connectivity feature that will provide connectivity even without cellular coverage but that is to be expected to be available in select markets only.  If that is to be believed then along with the next generation of the Apple iPhone the company could also announce the timeline for the release of iOS 15 at the Apple Event. This time as well Apple is stated to present four devices iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Max that will come with a new design upgrade, improved battery life, cameras and more. At this year’s WWDC Apple spoke about the upcoming WatchOS 8 operating system for its smartwatches. The company could also include this at its upcoming event. The Apple Watch Series 7 will be succeeding the Watch Series 6 that will bring new features, sleek design and improved battery life. The device is also expected to have a blood glucose monitoring sensor.
