Since the start of year 2020, WhatsApp has been rolling out interesting features to simplify lives of its users. Now the latest development by the Facebook-owned instant messaging app enables its users across India to send money via WhatsApp. Payments on WhatsApp is now available for people on the latest version of the iPhone and Android app.
Mind you! This secure payments experience helps WhatsApp users to safely send money to a family member or share the cost of goods from a distance without having to exchange cash in person or going to a local bank. Isn’t this time saving too? In an official blog post, WhatsApp has asserted, “We’re excited to join India’s campaign to increase the ease and use of digital payments, which is helping expand financial inclusion in India.”
In collaboration with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) using the Unified Payment Interface (UPI), WhatsApp has designed the payments feature to enable transactions with over 160 supported banks.
All that is required to send money on WhatsApp in India, is to have a bank account and debit card in the country. WhatsApp sends instructions to banks, which are also known as payment service providers, to initiate the transfer of money via UPI between sender and receiver bank accounts. It was revealed that WhatsApp will be working with five leading banks in India: ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, the State Bank of India, and Jio Payments Bank. This means that people can send money on WhatsApp to anyone using a UPI supported app. Just like every feature in WhatsApp, payments is designed with a strong set of security and privacy principles, including entering a personal UPI PIN for each payment.
In the times ahead, it is likely that the combination of WhatsApp and UPI’s unique architecture can help local organizations deal with some of the key challenges like increasing rural participation in the digital economy and delivering financial services to those who have never had access before.
Meanwhile, the Facebook-owned instant messaging app has also introduced the option to use disappearing messages to make conversations feel as close to in-person as possible that means they shouldn’t have to stick around forever. According to WhatsApp, “When disappearing messages is turned on, new messages sent to a chat will disappear after 7 days, helping the conversation feel lighter and more private. In a one-to-one chat, either person can turn disappearing messages on or off. In groups, admins will have the control.”
Initially, WhatsApp is starting with 7 days because it believes that it offers peace of mind that conversations aren’t permanent, while remaining practical so that one doesn’t forget what they were chatting about. The shopping list or store address that one receives a few days ago will be there while they need it, and then disappear after they don’t need it anymore.
One can send messages that disappear on WhatsApp by enabling disappearing messages. As per a latest blog, “Once enabled, new messages sent in the individual or group chat will disappear after seven days. The most recent selection controls all messages in the chat. This setting won’t affect messages you previously sent or received in the chat. In an individual chat, either user can turn disappearing messages on or off. In a group chat, only group admins can turn disappearing messages on or off.”

The audio industry in India has been seeing record growth over the past few years. Multiple brands across the world are now offering a premium to budget-end earphones. Thanks to the current situation in the country, increasing dependence on webinars, online meetings, video chats, Zoom calls, etc has surged its boom. As per a report, India is among the topmost smart personal audio markets in Q1, 2020 in APAC with a 23 percent market share. Amidst this, Oppo has launched Enco W11 truly wireless earphones as its budget TWS earbuds that do not cost a fortune (priced at Rs 2,499). The company touts it to deliver an immersive sound effect and superior quality experience. So, let’s find out how much does Oppo live up to its claims in our review of Oppo Enco W11.
In This Article
Design
On opening the box, you will be greeted directly with the earphones case. Other than this you will find manuals and warranty cards and some ear tips of different sizes along with a USB Type C cable. Oppo Enco W11 ships in a pill-shaped glossy white case, which doesn’t look different from the group of other all-black TWS earphones in the market. However, we did like that it attracts fewer smudges, unlike the rest of the pack. We also liked how the earphones don’t just fall off when you open the case. We really shook the unit for them to pop out but they didn’t fall off. The lid of the case is solidly attached and closes with a nice snap. The design of the earbuds themselves is also really great complimenting the case. The earphone really stands out with its premium look and feel. Oppo Enco W11 has a touch-sensitive surface so you can single tap to play or pause and double tap on either earbud to change the tracks and triple press for voice assistant. The volume can be controlled by touching or holding the left or right earbud. The touch functionality works flawlessly while the comfort of them is also great. These are lightweight for the quality of construction they have. Also, we did not face any issue with keeping them on for long periods thanks to the in-ear design. Over that, the earphones form an excellent seal in the ears which doesn’t just cut out background noise (to a certain degree) but also makes the bass sound more prominent.The earphones do not have any LEDs to indicate the battery level but just like other devices, they do have a small LED on the case that indicates the battery level. This lights up whenever the lid is opened or when one removes the earbuds.
Performance
The Oppo Enco W11 connects with any device with Bluetooth 5.0 or lower. After first connect, these easily connect to your phone by just opening the lid of the case and not after you take them out of the case. This means by the time you wear them, they will be already connected to your phone. You should also know that the Enco W11 is IP55 rated for water and dust ingress protection. This means they can handle more than just a splash of water and this rating is also better than its competition. This also makes them more durable. You also get wear detection with the buds that work just as well.Speaking of the battery life, the earphones deliver 5 hours of playback and with the case, you can play them for up to 20 hours. That is great especially considering the size and weight of the case. Before we talk more about the audio quality, let’s talk about specs first. Specs-wise these earphones come with a pair of 8mm dynamic drivers inside each earpiece with AAC support and SBC codecs. These also connect with compatible devices via Bluetooth 5.0. We recently reviewed Vivo TWS New true wireless earphones which are priced at Rs 5,990 and on comparing them with Oppo Enco W11 we loved the sound on the Oppo. The bass is just perfectly balanced on the Oppo earphones and it does not bleed into a higher frequency range. Moreover, the mids on these are also perfect and the vocals on them sound good too, both while watching movies and listening to music. Highs are a little prominent so there is a slight boost to them that is good in a way as it is not harsh on the ears. So you will never feel you are getting a compromised sound. Also, the bigger ear tips fit well therefore enhancing the whole experience. Oppo does not have a dedicated companion app where you can tweak a few things like equaliser as per your liking. Also, one more thing that the earphones lack is lower latency so if you are into gaming these will not be the best for you.
Verdict
Overall, we are extremely impressed with these TWS earbuds both in features and in the sound department. Moreover, they are perfect for people looking to get TWS at a lesser price. Even the audiophiles who have a more refined taste in sound would not be disappointed with the Oppo Enco W11.

Earlier, tipster Max Jambor had tweeted that the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are codenamed ‘Lemonade’. And now this latest report has revealed that while the codename of OnePlus 9 is LE2110, the codenames of the OnePlus 9 Pro are dubbed as LE2117, LE2119, and LE2120. However, there is one mysterious device too with a codename: LE2127. Only time will solve the riddle of what would be the name of next three variants of this device.
Up until now, numerous leaks and reports have hinted that OnePlus 9 series is likely to run Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 along with AMOLED display. It will further be fitted with a center-punch screen and support 144Hz screen refresh rate. Besides this, the device is also expected to offer IP68 waterproof, NFC, dual stereo and other configurations. Mind you! It is also likely to enable 65W cable fast charge and 40W wireless fast charge.
Meanwhile, the OxygenOS Open Beta 9 has been rolled out for OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro smartphones with the introduction of October 2020 security patch. According to the official OnePlus Forums, the full changelog has revealed the following details:
System
Improved system stability and fixed general issues
Updated Android Security Patch to 2020.10
Camera

OnePlus further notified that this is beta software. As per the official OnePlus Forums, “These builds are sometimes not as stable as our official OTAs generally are. By installing this update, you accept the potential risks. For those who were on previous versions for OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro, we appreciate your active feedback and for reaching out to us.”
The smartphone maker also added that with the help of OnePlus fans, the company has been able to better optimize and improve several key areas. Furthermore, OnePlus added that if the users have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta), they will receive this new build as an OTA.
In case the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro users are not running open beta software and would like to, one can refer to the flashing instructions and the full ROM on the downloads page. Once you migrate to the Beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will no longer receive the regular Official Stable OTAs. Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a full install and clean flash.
At a price point of Rs 34,999, the OnePlus 7T smartphone comes with a responsive 90Hz refresh rate and the latest HDR10+ technology.

The lid of the case is solidly attached and closes with a nice snap. The design of the earbuds themselves is also really great complimenting the case. The earphone really stands out with its premium look and feel. Oppo Enco W11 has a touch-sensitive surface so you can single tap to play or pause and double tap on either earbud to change the tracks and triple press for voice assistant. The volume can be controlled by touching or holding the left or right earbud.
The touch functionality works flawlessly while the comfort of them is also great. These are lightweight for the quality of construction they have. Also, we did not face any issue with keeping them on for long periods thanks to the in-ear design. Over that, the earphones form an excellent seal in the ears which doesn’t just cut out background noise (to a certain degree) but also makes the bass sound more prominent.
The earphones do not have any LEDs to indicate the battery level but just like other devices, they do have a small LED on the case that indicates the battery level. This lights up whenever the lid is opened or when one removes the earbuds.
Speaking of the battery life, the earphones deliver 5 hours of playback and with the case, you can play them for up to 20 hours. That is great especially considering the size and weight of the case. Before we talk more about the audio quality, let’s talk about specs first. Specs-wise these earphones come with a pair of 8mm dynamic drivers inside each earpiece with AAC support and SBC codecs. These also connect with compatible devices via Bluetooth 5.0.
We recently reviewed Vivo TWS New true wireless earphones which are priced at Rs 5,990 and on comparing them with Oppo Enco W11 we loved the sound on the Oppo. The bass is just perfectly balanced on the Oppo earphones and it does not bleed into a higher frequency range. Moreover, the mids on these are also perfect and the vocals on them sound good too, both while watching movies and listening to music. Highs are a little prominent so there is a slight boost to them that is good in a way as it is not harsh on the ears. So you will never feel you are getting a compromised sound. Also, the bigger ear tips fit well therefore enhancing the whole experience.
Oppo does not have a dedicated companion app where you can tweak a few things like equaliser as per your liking. Also, one more thing that the earphones lack is lower latency so if you are into gaming these will not be the best for you.
