The music streaming app Spotify is now gearing up to bring subscription podcasts to its platform. This service will let the users access original content by paying a monthly subscription. For this, the company has begun conducting surveys to know the user’s response. The Spotify subscription podcast service has been spotted by Variety’s Andrew Wallenstein.According to Andrew Wallenstein, the president of Variety’s Intelligence Platform Spotify is planning to launch four subscription podcast plans, starting from $3 to $8 per month. He took to Twitter to share the information that music streaming platform has also started sending out surveys to share their thoughts on the upcoming Spotify subscription podcast service.As per a report by the Verge the most expensive plan would include access to “high-quality original content,” early access to some episodes, and no platform-inserted ads. All of these plans will not include access to Spotify’s premium music subscription.“At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of surveys in an effort to improve our user experience. Some of those end up paying the path for our broader user experience and others serve only as important learnings,” the spokesperson said. “We have no further news to share on future plans at this time” the company through the survey hinted at this survey to be taken as concrete product plans. This means it is not yet confirmed that Spotify will launch the subscription podcast service and it might also consider launching some sort of subscription podcast plans as reported by the publisher.Apart from this the company recently confirmed that Spotify can now be streamed directly on Apple Watch. So now users will be able to stream music or podcasts on Apple Watch without having to connect to an iPhone. To recall the company was spotted testing the feature in September and now it is being expanded directly to all the users. However, this feature will not be available for offline listening as the Apple Watch still lacks the option of offline listening.With the rollout of the service the users are allowed to access their music library via Wi-Fi or cellular network using the Spotify app on Apple Watch and can listen through Bluetooth devices.

LG Electronics has launched its revolutionary wearable personal air solution called LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier. This much-anticipated device was showcased at IFA 2020. Starting this month, LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, which utilizes two H13 HEPA filters, will be available in key regions including Asia and the Middle East, among others.

The company claims that this device prevents up to 99.95 percent of harmful airborne matter such as viruses, bacteria and common allergens from entering the respiratory system. This is made possible through DUAL Fans and a patented Respiratory Sensor which allows users to effortlessly breathe pure, filtered air in almost any environment. The sensor detects the cycle and volume of the wearer’s breathing and automatically adjusts the three-speed DUAL Fans accordingly, speeding up when inhaling and slowing down to reduce resistance when exhaling.
“PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier was developed to address the growing demand worldwide for products that can improve personal hygiene at a time when it’s needed most. This groundbreaking device offers a new level of portable protection, making it possible for consumers to comfortably breathe clean air on-the-go so they have one less thing to worry about,” said Dan Song, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
In order to introduce greater convenience and health benefits to consumers’ daily lives, the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier employs high-performance filters and sensor-controlled fans to ensure clean air and optimal breathing comfort anywhere, any time.
With an ergonomic design, LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier fits snugly on most adult faces. It minimizes air leakage around the nose and chin and is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The built-in rechargeable 820mAh battery delivers up to eight hours of operation at low speed and two hours on the highest setting.
Furthermore, the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is easy to keep hygienically clean as it comes with easy to remove and replace filters, inner cover, face guard, ear straps and strap extenders. Using UV-C LED lights, the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier Case features LG’s UVnano sanitization technology to eliminate 99.99 percent of harmful germs in mere 30 minutes. Additionally, the case can also remove moisture from internal components caused by the wearer’s breath, charge the device from empty to full in just two hours and even send a notification to a smartphone via the LG ThinQ app when filters need replacing.

WhatsApp Pay in India has been in the anticipation of approval for a very long time. The digital payments feature by the social media platform should have been introduced in the country much sooner. But it had to go through a delay due to some false messages doing the rounds on the platform. Those led to mob lynching and more government inspection was needed as suggested by some reports. In the due course of time, the Facebook-owned messaging giant was also trying to act in accordance with the Indian regulations with data storage norms that would require all payments-related data to be stored locally. Now it has received approval by the regulatory NPCI and it can now go ahead with the rollout of its service in India but in a graded manner.National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has given approval for WhatsApp to ‘Go Live’ on UPI in the multi-bank model. As per the announcement, the social media platform can now expand its UPI user base in a graded manner starting with a maximum registered user base of twenty (20) million in UPI.We should add here that millions of users in the country have been distributed among Paytm, Google Pay, PhonePe and other digital payment services but only WhatsApp has more than 400 million user bases in India itself and this would definitely make a strong dent on the payments ecosystem.WhatsApp Pay would pose as a big competitor to Paytm, which is one of the most used and popular digital payment apps in India.Apart from this considering the recent growth in UPI transaction volumes, NPCI has analyzed the risks in the UPI ecosystem. To address the risks and protect the UPI ecosystem the regulatory has now announced to impose 30% on the total volume of UPI transactions processed by Third Party App (TPA) providers that will come into effect from January 2021. This decision will mostly affect Google Pay and PhonePe as they are said to be dominating the UPI ecosystem. As per a report these two companies have around 40 percent of the number of transactions each. In addition to this existing TPAPs (i.e. TPAPs that are live as on the date of this circular), who are exceeding the cap will have a period of two years from the aforesaid date to comply with the same in a phased manner.

The year 2020 has been one of the best years for mid-range smartphones. Another great entrant in the mid-segment price range is by Oppo. It is a called Oppo F17, which is the younger sibling of Oppo F17 Pro. We spent some time with the smartphone to find if it has any chinks in the armour. Here is our review of the Oppo F17.
In This Article
Design and Display
This smartphone screams for attention right out of the box. As soon as we unboxed it, we fell in love with its modern looks, slimness and the uber-cool orange back panel with subtle gold metal frame. The back panel, though made up of plastic, has a very leather-like feel to it. We have not seen anything like it before. Also, on the back panel of the Oppo F17 users get 4 cameras in a square camera bump with chrome accents on the edges. This is partnered with a rather large LED flash, more about that in the performance section.
The right side of the Oppo F17 has a power button, while the volume keys can be found on the left side along with a triple-slot tray to accommodate 2 micro-SIMS plus 1 microSD memory card. A 3.5mm audio port, primary microphone, USB Type-C charging jack and a speaker grill can be found at the bottom. A secondary microphone is placed on the top that catches your voice better when you are talking to someone over the speakerphone. We have to mention that we were quite amazed that Oppo managed to incorporate a headphones jack when the phone is just 7.45mm slim. Good job oppo, good job.
Coming to the front of Oppo F17, it features a 6.44-inch AMOLED display that has a waterdrop notch (with the selfie camera) on top and a rather large chin area. Something which we used to see in a year to two years old devices. Nonetheless, this is not a deal-breaker, as the display is superb. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The brightness is great and everything is legible even under direct sunlight. Text is crisp and screen icons look very vivid. The refresh rate of the screen is 60Hz but works like 90Hz. Scrolling experience is smooth and less laggy. This becomes better since the phone supports 135Hz sampling rate as default and 180Hz sampling rate when gaming.
Talking about which, we loved the gaming experience on the smartphone. Though most games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Asphalt 9: Legends work better at mid settings and not high because of mid-range GPU in it, the experience was still good. The colours pop out when gaming and is mostly very enjoyable. Same is the case with movie and videos streaming experience. The blacks are deep and colours are vivid. Sound on the other hand could have been better. In case you want better sound, you can always use the headphones that are supplied in the box. Overall, we quite liked the display of the Oppo F17.
Oppo F17 Performance and Camera
Under the hood, Oppo F17 comes with a Snapdragon 662 CPU, Adreno 610 GPU, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Another version is available with 8GB RAM, but today we are reviewing the 6GB version, which does most jobs well. It can handle multiple tabs as well as multiple apps nicely (at the same time). It does get a bit warm when you game on it continuously, but not so much that it will burn your hand. For security, the smartphone also has an in-display fingerprint sensor that works accurately nine out of ten times.
The rear cameras array on the Oppo F17 includes as 16MP wide-angle (with EIS), 8MP ultra-wide angle, 2MP depth sensor and another 2MP depth sensor. Together they make up for one of the best camera arrays in this side of Rs 20,000. We got some superb shots in the day as well as night. The colours were accurate during the day and in the night mode, though it took some time to click the picture, it was one of the best shots we saw in this price bracket. Wide-angle shots were great too, however, the edges were slightly blurry in some shots. Portraits on the other hand are this smartphones speciality, especially during the day or in bright light. At night, we do suggest keeping the flash on.
On the other side, the selfie camera is nice too. 16MP Sony IMX 471 sensor does a good job in capturing good detail. Colours are also lifelike, but edge sharpness was an issue in some cases.
Moving on to the battery life, Oppo F17 has a 4015mAh battery that supports 30W Vooc flash charge. The fast charger comes in the box, with which users can get 4 hours of talk time in just 5 minutes of charge on this smartphone. Overall, the battery lasted us a full day with mixed use of an hour of gaming, another hour of music and then regular daily stuff like WhatsApp etc on 4G network.
As for the operating system, Colour OS 7.2 on Android 10 comes out of the box. There is no word on the Android 11 upgrade as yet, but the device should get an update next year. The OS has got a lot of improvements and now features an App drawer too. Icons look great, but the Oppo F17 does come with some amount of bloatware, luckily all of it can be uninstalled easily.
Verdict
All in all, at Rs 16,990 for the 6GB variant and 2K more for the 8GB variant, Oppo has done a very good job with the F17. It is spunky, youthful and does grab your attention. Yes, it does have a few chinks in the armour, but nothing that will make you flinch away. If you are looking for a good pair of cameras, excellent design, and a lasting battery, then Oppo F17 might just prove to be a good buy for you.

Often reading old messages on WhatsApp, brings a smile on our faces. Now, the Facebook-owned instant messaging app has 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.”
However, if a user doesn’t open WhatsApp in the seven day period, the message will disappear. However, the preview of the message might still be displayed in notifications until the Facebook-owned instant messaging app is opened. When you reply to a message, the initial message is quoted. If one replies to a disappearing message, the quoted text might remain in the chat after seven days. And if a disappearing message is forwarded to a chat with disappearing messages off, the message won’t disappear in the forwarded chat.
If a user creates a backup before a message disappears, the disappearing message will be included in the backup. Disappearing messages will be deleted when a user restores from a backup. Furthermore, the media the one receives in WhatsApp will be automatically downloaded to your photos. If disappearing messages are turned on, media sent in the chat will disappear. However, it will be saved on the phone if auto-download is on. You can turn auto-download off in WhatsApp Settings > Data and Storage Usage.

DJI has now rolled out a high-performance camera drone that weighs less than 249 grams. Known as DJI Mini 2, this drone is easy to fly, with improved imaging capabilities, powerful flight performance, and significantly enhanced transmission technology for longer and more reliable connection. Supported with a wide array of fun, safe, and creative accessories, DJI Mini 2 users can make the system their own with personalized items or show it off with the illuminated display case.
“DJI Mini 2 enhances those key aspects, packing larger drone performance in an approachable, small design in the safest drone category that is perfect for beginners and will also impress more experienced pilots,” said DJI President, Roger Luo.
On the design front, DJI Mini 2 features the lightweight system that adds minimal weight to the bag and can easily be brought with you in case the opportunity to fly arises. This Mini 2 drone comes with OcuSync 2.0 transmission technology for ensuring stable, long distance, and reliable connection between the remote controller and the drone. With the help of the 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of recording 12MP images and a maximum video resolution of 4K/30fps @100 Mbps, DJI Mini 2 helps you take shake-free, smooth footage because of the class-leading 3-axis gimbal that compensates for drone movement, wind, and more.
While recording in 1080p resolution, pilots can get closer to their subject without actually having to move the drone thanks to the 4X Zoom (2X lossless in quality) option. Pre-programmed intelligent modes mean the drone does the hard work of capturing beautiful footage with set movements and imaging features. Interestingly, upgraded motors enables 31 minutes of flight time, faster acceleration and speed, along with the ability to withstand winds up to 24mph.
According to the company, “DJI Mini 2 was made to be fun to fly, simple to operate, and safe for everyday use, whether that is daily life or an exciting adventure. A live feed from the drone’s camera is sent to your mobile phone so that you can see exactly where Mini 2 is and what it sees. Simplified buttons and functions keep things streamlined and easy to understand compared to more advanced drones.”
Moreover, high-grade positioning and vision sensors help Mini 2 hover precisely in place. GPS technology keeps track of where the drone is while the vision sensors on the bottom map out the ground below it and assist automated landing. Some of these features include GEO fencing that keeps drones out of sensitive areas like airports. Return to Home is a feature that can be activated so the drone returns to the pilot. Besides this, Altitude Lock is an adjustable limit on how high the drone can go.
DJI Mini 2 helps you make your content stand out with just a tap thanks to these pre-set modes including QuickShots, Dronie, Helix, Rocket, Circle, Boomerang, Panoramas, Sphere, 180-degree and Wide-Angle, etc. Using DJI Mini 2, your handset can connect directly to the drone without the remote controller, and after capturing that shareable footage, download images at a high-speed rate of 20 MB/s once landed safely.
As far as price and availability is concerned, DJI Mini 2 is available for purchase from store.dji.com and from authorized retail partners. DJI Mini can be purchased in two options:
The standard package includes DJI Mini 2, remote controller and one battery for the retail price of $449.
The Fly More Combo is also available, which includes three batteries, charging hub, DJI Mini 2, a carrying case and remote controller for the retail price of $599.
Moreover, DJI Care Refresh offers comprehensive coverage as well as up to two replacement units within one year for an additional charge. The 2-year plan provides 3 replacement units in 2 years and extends the original warranty period by one more year. Receive your replacement even sooner with DJI Care Refresh Express. DJI Care Refresh also includes VIP after-sales support, and free two-way shipping.

The right side of the Oppo F17 has a power button, while the volume keys can be found on the left side along with a triple-slot tray to accommodate 2 micro-SIMS plus 1 microSD memory card. A 3.5mm audio port, primary microphone, USB Type-C charging jack and a speaker grill can be found at the bottom. A secondary microphone is placed on the top that catches your voice better when you are talking to someone over the speakerphone. We have to mention that we were quite amazed that Oppo managed to incorporate a headphones jack when the phone is just 7.45mm slim. Good job oppo, good job.
Coming to the front of Oppo F17, it features a 6.44-inch AMOLED display that has a waterdrop notch (with the selfie camera) on top and a rather large chin area. Something which we used to see in a year to two years old devices. Nonetheless, this is not a deal-breaker, as the display is superb. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The brightness is great and everything is legible even under direct sunlight. Text is crisp and screen icons look very vivid. The refresh rate of the screen is 60Hz but works like 90Hz. Scrolling experience is smooth and less laggy. This becomes better since the phone supports 135Hz sampling rate as default and 180Hz sampling rate when gaming.

Talking about which, we loved the gaming experience on the smartphone. Though most games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Asphalt 9: Legends work better at mid settings and not high because of mid-range GPU in it, the experience was still good. The colours pop out when gaming and is mostly very enjoyable. Same is the case with movie and videos streaming experience. The blacks are deep and colours are vivid. Sound on the other hand could have been better. In case you want better sound, you can always use the headphones that are supplied in the box. Overall, we quite liked the display of the Oppo F17.
On the other side, the selfie camera is nice too. 16MP Sony IMX 471 sensor does a good job in capturing good detail. Colours are also lifelike, but edge sharpness was an issue in some cases.
Moving on to the battery life, Oppo F17 has a 4015mAh battery that supports 30W Vooc flash charge. The fast charger comes in the box, with which users can get 4 hours of talk time in just 5 minutes of charge on this smartphone. Overall, the battery lasted us a full day with mixed use of an hour of gaming, another hour of music and then regular daily stuff like WhatsApp etc on 4G network.
As for the operating system, Colour OS 7.2 on Android 10 comes out of the box. There is no word on the Android 11 upgrade as yet, but the device should get an update next year. The OS has got a lot of improvements and now features an App drawer too. Icons look great, but the Oppo F17 does come with some amount of bloatware, luckily all of it can be uninstalled easily.
