What are the expected models in the Asus Zenfone 8 Series?

However, there have been rumours regarding the upcoming models in the Asus Zenfone 8 Series. Moreover, certain specifications of the Asus Zenfone 8 Series smartphones were leaked on the internet.
The company is expected to release three models under the Asus Zenfone 8 Series. They are rumoured to be Zenfone 8, Zenfone 8 Pro, and Zenfone 8 Mini.

The expected features of the Asus Zenfone 8 and the Zenfone 8 Pro are as follows.
Design
The Asus Zenfone 8 may have a different camera setup as compared to the Zenfone 6. The Zenfone 6 was equipped with a Flip camera that could serve the purpose of both the primary camera well as the selfie camera. However, the upcoming Zenfone 8 might not feature a Flip camera. Instead, it is likely to feature a punch hole on the display to accommodate the selfie camera. The smartphone may include a 64MP camera setup with a telephoto lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens.
The launch is set to take place on May 12, 2021.

The entry-level segment of the smartphone market is very competitive. One among the latest entrants in this segment is the Moto E7 Power, priced at Rs 7,499. What are its pros and cons and should you buy the smartphone? Find out in our Moto E7 Power review:
In This Article
Moto E7 Power design and display
Let’s begin by talking about the look and feel of the Moto E7 Power smartphone. The device comes with a plastic body and has a sturdy built. The handset is available in Tahiti Blue and Coral Red colour options and we got the former one for review. Moto E7 Power houses the camera module, fingerprint sensor and the speaker on its back panel. The camera module has dual rear lenses and the LED flash, and the fingerprint scanner is embedded below the Moto icon.
The right edge of the device has the volume rocker keys, the Power and the Google Assistant button sandwiched on it while the left edge has the SIM tray. The 3.5mm headphone jack is placed on the top, while the Type-C charging port and the microphone are at the bottom. The plastic body is not something everyone would like, but at this price point, one can’t really complain. The one-hand usage on the handset can be difficult at times.
Flip over, and you will see the 6.5-inch display of the device that is outlined by not-very-thin bezels and an even broader chin. The selfie camera is placed in a waterdrop-shaped notch on the top of the screen, right below the earpiece.
Coming to the 6.5-inch HD+ IPS panel of the smartphone, it is protected with a layer of Panda Glass. The images projected on the screen were sharp and clear, and the colours were accurate and vibrant. They even remained consistent at different viewing angles. The display was adequately bright, and one has the option of scheduling Night Light on it. The only real problem with the display was the sunlight readability. We think that could have been better on Moto E7 Power.
To conclude, we would say that even though there is nothing out of the ordinary about the design of the Moto E7 Power, there are no major cons too. The display was decent as well, and mostly did a good job.
Moto E7 Power performance and cameras
Before we begin talking about the performance of Moto E7 Power, let’s quickly discuss the rest of the specifications of the smartphone. The device is powered by the MediaTek Helio G25 octa-core processor clubbed with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. The base variant of the handset has 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Besides this, the smartphone can also hold a microSD card of up to 1TB. For imaging duties, there are 13MP and 2MP dual sensors on the back, and a 5MP selfie camera on the front panel. The smartphone packs a 5,000mAh battery and it ships Android 10 out-of-the-box.
One among the best aspects of the Moto E7 Power smartphone is its software. The handset has stock Android, and almost comes without any bloatware. The only extra pre-installed app was Facebook, and even that could be uninstalled. We were surprised that the company hadn’t even added the Moto Support app to the device. While some may appreciate the stock version of Android, others may miss the gestures and actions that other phones with customizations support.
However, we should add here that it isn’t like Moto E7 Power doesn’t support any of these. One can find a few of them in the Settings of the device. These include ‘Jump to camera’, ‘Lift to check phone’, ‘Three finger screenshot’, etc. The only downside of the software is that Android 10 is slightly dated now, so we hope the device gets the Android 11 update soon.
The smartphone managed the basic everyday tasks, but it did stutter a bit at times, particularly when we tried multitasking. However, one should keep in mind that it is a budget smartphone and it’s not fair to expect its performance to be flawless. We tried playing a few games on the device as well. While we could play the light ones like Temple Run 2 and Alto’s Odyssey smoothly, the smartphone wasn’t at its best with graphic-hungry ones like Asphalt 9: Legends.
The 5,000mAh battery of the device is also among its best aspects. Even with heavy usage involving social media, gaming, watching videos on YouTube and Netflix, and a few long phone calls, the battery lasted more than a day. We found this to be quite impressive.
Now, let’s talk about the cameras of the smartphone. The 13MP primary camera of the device does a decent job in well-lit areas, particularly outdoors. The images were sharp and clear, however, the colour reproduction could have been better. We noticed that they were duller than they were in real. But that, of course, can be fixed with a little bit of editing. The real problem was the camera’s performance in dimly-lit areas.
The device struggled to focus and there was noise visible in the images taken. The 2MP lens was also just average. We clicked some Bokeh and Macro shots, but the quality of the images dropped as compared to the primary camera. The 5MP selfie camera also did a decent job, but we would be editing our selfies taken from Moto E7 Power before we upload them on social media. We weren’t too happy with the camera of the device, but then, it is an entry-level smartphone, so we can’t expect too much.
Verdict
Moto E7 Power comes at a starting price of Rs 7,499, and at this cost, it is a decent buy. It does have its pros and cons, though. The lack of bloatware and the lasting battery life are clearly the biggest pros of the smartphone. The design was good and the display was average, but the performance and cameras could be better. As far as your usage isn’t heavy and the camera isn’t too important to you, you would not be disappointed with this budget buy.
Pros
COVID-19 cases have been rising at an unprecedented rate for the past few weeks in India. Due to a rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 patients, there has been an intermittent shortage of medical resources. The Indian government is constantly working with states and health department to fill the gap between medical demands and their availability.

According to Twitter, “If you’d like to see Tweets that are close to your current location, type in a relevant hashtag in the search bar, tap the toggle button on the top right, and turn on ‘Near you’ under ‘Location’. You’ll have to turn on location settings for this to work”.
Advanced Search to find tweets close to their location
Advanced Search to find the most recent tweets

To fill the gap created by the TikTok ban in India, Instagram launched Reels for creating short video clips on its platform last year. This feature allows Instagram users to create and edit 15-second multi-clip videos with audio, effects and new creative tools. Also in order to step up its competition against TikTok and Snapchat the Facebook-owned social networking app keeps on updating with the latest features. Recently it released a feature called Remix and in a new development, it has begun testing Reels ads in India.With the announcement of the commencement of testing Reels ads in India the company is intended to make capital through the feature. This functionality is now being tested in Brazil, Germany, and Australia as well as in India. Soon these features will be expanded to more markets as the company says and 90% of people follow a business on Instagram, and people are already embracing Reels to discover new creators and businesses. The Reels ads will allow businesses to express themselves creatively and find deeper connections with the audiences that matter to them.According to the company, these ads will be full-screen and immersive, similar to ads in Stories. As with organic Reels content, ads can be up to 30 seconds and people can comment, like, view, save, share and skip Reels ads.Besides this Facebook has also announced a new topic targeting options within Facebook In-Stream video, testing of Instagram Reels Ads and other ad experiences in Facebook Stories to help increase opportunities for brands to better engage with relevant audiences.”According to the company the Facebook In-Stream eligible videos are being watched by over 2 billion people every month, therefore, completing 70% of In-Stream standalone video ads views.

The Apple Event 2021 announced gadgets that immediately attracted technology enthusiasts. These include the innovative iPad Pro with the new Liquid Retina XDR display, the new iMac with the M1 chip, the Apple TV 4K. These devices are not only capable of performance-intensive tasks but also elevate the user experience with their unique design and stunning looks. The gadget that stole the show due to its futuristic utility valyue was the Apple AirTag.
Apple AirTag is a tracking device that can be attached to small items that are likely to be misplaced. These include keys, wallets, purse, and backpacks. Apple AirTag had been extensively rumoured even before its official announcement at the Apple Event 2021. It was due to its small size and its ability to be tracked on a smartphone using the GPS.
According to Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, “We’re excited to bring this incredible new capability to iPhone users with the introduction of AirTag, leveraging the vast Find My network, to help them keep track of and find the important items in their lives. With its design, unparalleled finding experience, and built-in privacy and security features, AirTag will provide customers with another way to leverage the power of the Apple ecosystem and enhance the versatility of iPhone.”

Is the AirTag protected stalk-proof?
Apple AirTag is designed to track objects that we frequently use and often misplace them. But there have emerging concerns regarding its tracking feature. Although the device is intended to be used to track non-living things, it can be used for wrongful activities like tracking a person. Being small, Apple AirTag can be placed in someone’s pocket or purse without getting noticed.
To prevent the unintended use of AirTag, Apple has equipped the AirTag platform with robust anti-stalking algorithms. If someone drops an AirTag into your possession, your iPhone will immediately notify you about its presence with a message, “AirTag Found Moving With You”. However, your iPhone must be running the iOS 14.5 or later version.
According to Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, “If you are concerned that there’s a risk of your being tracked you could contact law enforcement. What the [AirTag’s] serial number is used for is when you first set up your AirTag it is paired with an Apple ID along with some additional information such as your name, your email address, your date of birth, and things like that, which [Apple] could provide to law enforcement if asked for, with the proper warrants and process”.
Is the AirTag protected stalk-proof?
Can Apple AirTag be used on pets?
In the Apple Event 2021, the company emphasised that Apple AirTag is designed to track objects and not people or pets. For tracking children, using an Apple Watch would be a way better idea rather than sticking an AirTag upon them. Moreover, tracking pets using an AirTag may not work at all times. The device is integrated with the Find My Network. Hence, you can track location only if an AirTag is in the range.
According to Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, “If people do that, they just have to make sure that their moving pet gets into range of a device in the Find My network”.

Signal, a cross-platform centralized encrypted messaging service, has gained much popularity since WhatsApp brought changes to its privacy policy. According to the new policy, WhatsApp will share its data with Facebook. This step was perceived by many WhatsApp users to be infringing upon their privacy. As a result, Signal rose to the occasion and attracted many WhatsApp users as it claimed to keep their data protected.
According to a tweet by Signal, “Nobody ever invited Big Tech to join a group chat, but they still hang around and know what’s going on. Signal knows nothing. Private groups protect your group names, group membership, group messages, and even the group avatar with end-to-end encryption”.

End-to-end encryption
Signal claims that the chats among the Signal users are end-to-end encrypted. The company asserts that Signal knows nothing. Unlike the “Big Tech”, the information sent or received by Signal users is not shared by any person or firm. Even the company itself does not intercept the chats. Even the group chats, names, and avatars are end-to-end encrypted. As a result, the groups and their chats remain anonymous except on the users’ devices.
End-to-end encryption
Signal claims its chat groups to be secure
Signal gave the reference of the “Big Tech” to claim that the company has no involvement in the group discussions. According to Signal, the private groups are meant to remain private. Still, the “Big Tech” not only knows what’s happening in a chat group but also shares its data with other platforms. Signal asserts that it has no record of the discussions that have been carried in Signal groups. Neither are they shared with any individual or a firm. Signal revealed that it is working on a new technology that will enhance the scalability of private groups.
How Signal claims to be different from the “Big Tech”?
There are two ways to store data on a server. The way is to keep it in a plaintext format and the other is the encrypted format. Both storage methods have their pros and cons. When the data is stored in a plaintext format, the retrieving process is quite fast the data simply needs to be transferred between the server and the user’s device. However, this speed comes with a disadvantage. Since the data is present in plaintext format, it is visible on the server in its original form.
Signal claims that it follows a different algorithm as compared to other companies. The company makes sure that the data stored in its servers stay in an encrypted format so that the privacy of the user remains intact. When fetched from the server, the data is converted back to its original format on the user’s device. This ensures that no one but parties involved in the chat can access the data in its raw form.

One among the best aspects of the Moto E7 Power smartphone is its software. The handset has stock Android, and almost comes without any bloatware.
