Google Play is offering free credit to select users
Technology giant Google has some exciting news for its users. The company is offering free credit to some select users that they can use on Google’s Play Store. Google has said that it will be selecting these users on the basis of their purchase history and if you are one among the selected users, you will see a yellow banner on the Play Store app on your Android smartphone. Once you click the banner, you will be able to use the free credit that you have been awarded by Google.

For some users, the free credit is available only on purchases above $20, and for other in-app purchases are not included. So, Google will see what you purchase the most and then make an offer accordingly. We personally got a discount on our next movie purchase, since we use the Play Store to save and watch films via Google Play Movies and TV. However, we didn’t see a yellow banner like the ones mentioned in most reports, instead, we saw a red one.
If you want to read the entire disclaimer on your deal, the yellow banner can be used to open a page that has all the conditions and full terms of the deals written in detail.

Various users on social media are talking about this deal, and we personally got some credit that we can use for buying movies. Do let us know in the comments section if Google offered a deal to you too.

The Chinese sub-brand of Huawei, Honor is going to launch its V20 model today in China. The phone’s specifications have been reportedly leaked on the basis of a poster, ahead of its launch. And there are numerous things, which have been known about it already. For your knowledge, we have enlisted the features that the Chinese smartphone is expected to have.
The handset is supposed to come in three colour options—black, red and blue. There is a display camera sensor, which is said to be the part of a punch-hole display on the top-left corner. The poster revealed that the Honor V20 will be powered by a Kirin 980 octa-core processor and will be equipped with a Link Turbo feature in order to provide faster and better downloading experience. This has been made possible by the simultaneous functioning of LTE and WiFi networks.
Three RAM plus sotrage variants are also on the cards. These include 6GB, another 6GB and 8GB which come with in-built storage of 64GB, 128GB and 256GB respectively. A triple rear camera setup is there that has a primary sensor of 48MP Sony IMX586. The mobile device houses a 4,000mAh battery supporting 22.5W fast charging. It is also expected that the Honor V20 will come with a ToF (Time of Flight) 3D camera sensor, setting it apart from other phone brands. This will be the first a mobile phone brand will feature such a functionality.
With this, we think that Huawei is trying its best to stand out remarkably in the mobile industry and set a platform of cut throat competition for other brands. According to previous rumours, the Honor V20 was to be launched on 27th December running on an Android Pie skinned with Honor’s latest smartphone skin—EMUI 9. The rumours also tipped about the Honor V20’s price to be 2,799 Yuan which is 406$ (roughly Rs 29,000). The resolution of the mobile phone is supposed to be 2,310×1,080 pixels.
Another first-time feature to be introduced on the basis of earlier leaks is that this phone will support 960fps slow-motion recording. The Honor V20 is expected to feature a 25MP snapper for selfies and video calling, too. The device is also expected to come with AI dual-frequency GPS for accuracy.

PUBG Mobile: 12 deadly mistakes that will get you killed
PUBG Mobile has garnered tremendous popularity this year. Every day, scores of people compete with each other to win the Chicken dinner in the popular game. If you have been trying to win the game for some time, but haven’t been able to do it as yet, it may be because you are making some mistakes that can get you eliminated. Here, we are listing down 12 deadly mistakes that can get you killed in PUBG Mobile:
While some players prefer to drop in crowded areas to get some easy kills, others like to drop in distant areas away from others so that they can collect their weapons safely. If you are among the latter, do keep in mind that even though you prefer to land in secluded areas, it doesn’t mean that you are the only one over there. so always be ready for an early attack in the game or you may get killed.
We have said it earlier and we’ll say it again: Always play PUBG with headphones on. And make sure you pay attention to the sounds in the game as before your enemy approaches you, you will hear his footsteps. However, if you are not closely listening to sounds, you miss your enemy’s move and get killed.
If you hear any shooting around you, try and notice the pattern to determine if the first is real or fake. Your enemy may be luring you to kill you as this is a simple way to get easy kills. Falling for such baits is definitely a deadly mistake.
This is one among the most common mistakes that people make. In order to attack first, if you engage with an enemy who’s actually out of your range, you will firstly not be able to kill him, and secondly, you’ll be giving away your position. So doing this is actually very dangerous and can prove to be deadly.
If you have been spotted by your enemy, he would know exactly where you are and exactly where to aim in order to kill you. So, it’s incredibly important to change your position once you get spotted and you should do so without delay. Staying at the same position after their enemy knows where they are, is surely a big mistake that PUBG players make.
When you run in a straight line, you actually let your enemies align a perfect shot. So even when you are in a rush, try running in a zig-zag pattern to avoid being killed.
If you are hidden and are peeking to spot your enemies, don’t do it from a predictable angle. Your enemy may be expecting you to peek from there and it may become an easy kill for them.
This is probably the easiest way of getting yourself killed in PUBG. Don’t do it unless you are bored with the game and want to exit.
Fighting with cover helps you avoid getting killed and lets you heal up. Needless to say, fighting without it multiplies your chances of being killed. This may be one among the biggest mistakes that you can make while playing PUBG.
If you see a crate falling from a plane close to where you are standing, you would mostly just rush to get it. However, remember that a lot of others would do the same, so you would be exposing yourself to getting killed. Instead, hide near it and kill all those who come to get the crate of supply drop and then get it for yourself.
Loot only when required to and not whenever you can. By looting whenever there is a chance, you may actually be putting yourself in a deadly situation. For instance, if you just killed a player and you rush to loot them, you’re actually just putting yourself out in the open for your enemies to kill you.
This may not be very useful in the beginning, but once there are only 10 players remaining, you must keep a track of how many are alive. Doing this can prove to be a literal life-saver. For instance, if there are six people alive including you, and you can hear to enemies fighting amongst themselves on your right and two on your left. In such a case, being aware of one more player being alive will make you more cautious as he may be standing somewhere behind you to kill you.

[td_smart_list_end] iPhone users, here’s why you should stay away from iOS 12.1.2 update
Cupertino-based technology giant Apple recently rolled out its iOS 12.1.2 software update to its users. However, reports have emerged that claim that the update has led to cellular connectivity issues for multiple iPhone owners across the globe. A report in Forbes has suggested that microblogging website Twitter is filled with tweets from multiple users who have taken to the platform to complain about the latest iOS update.
As per the tweets, it seems like once users installed the latest iOS update, they couldn’t use their iPhones to make phone calls. Some even said that they were unable to send or receive text messages to their contacts. In other words, iOS 12.1.2 update is ‘bricking’ the iPhones once it’s installed.
Furthermore, it is not like users of one particular area are complaining about these issues. From what it looks like, the issue is spread across North America, South America, Europe, Asia and India.
Multiple users from these regions have complained about how they are facing trouble with their iPhones after updating to iOS 12.1.2. As of now, there has been no solution from Apple for this. The company’s support team has suggested that users restart their iPhones and then update the carrier settings on their devices. Some users tried this but there has been no sure word on whether this worked or not. A few iPhone users who updated to iOS 12.1.2 also claimed that in order to make their smartphones work, they tried to reset their device and then re-insert the SIM card. However, even this did not seem to work.
If you are an iPhone user who has not as yet upgraded to iOS 12.1.2, it is not advisable to do that till the company rolls out a fix for these issues. It would make perfect sense for you to wait for that to happen.
To recall, Apple rolled out the iOS 12.1.2 last week and it said that the update was supposed to fix connectivity issues in its latest iPhone line up comprising of iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR in Turkey. However, the contrary seems to have happened as now, there are more iPhone users complaining about connectivity issues and data loss.

Huawei P30 to come with a triple rear camera setup and a 24MP selfie camera: Report
Huawei recently launched its photographic centric flagship smartphones, Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20. Prior to that, the company launched its Huawei P20 Pro smartphone earlier this year, which came with a triple rear camera setup and is aimed at photographers. And now, reports have emerged that claim that Huawei is working on its P30 series.
Huawei P30 series will reportedly come with P30 and P30 Pro models and is expected to be launched either at Mobile World Congress in February 2019 or at a special event in March next year. It has also been said that Huawei will continue to focus on smartphones with powerful cameras with its P30 smartphones. According to renowned tipster Evan Blass, Huawei P30 will be another camera-centric device.
https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/1076118187257876480
The smartphone will reportedly sport a triple rear camera setup that will come with a 40MP sensor and 5x lossless zoom. Huawei P30 series’ predecessor smartphones — P20 and P20 Pro — came with a dual rear camera setup and a triple rear camera setup respectively. However, in the P30 series, Huawei will be adding an additional camera to both smartphones.
What adds more credibility to these reports is that Olixar has already started taking orders for Huawei P30 Pro cases which also hint towards at vertically stacked quad camera being present on the device. The new reports claim that P30 smartphone feature triple rear cameras and P30 Pro will sport quad cameras. Blass has also said that Huawei P30, on the other hand, will come with a 24MP selfie camera, much like Mate 20 Pro.
In another tweet, Mishaal Rahman of XDA Developers tweeted quoting his sources that Huawei P30 Pro will come with 10x lossless zoom. It is worth noticing that Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro smartphone supports lossless zoom. While the smartphone has a focal length ranging from 16mm to 270mm, it supports lossless zoom only up to a focal length of 135mm.
The Chinese smartphone is expected to add a lossless zoom at a focal length of 270mm to Huawei P30 Pro. By doing this, Huawei’s P30 Pro may leave DSLR photography behind.

The first half of 2019 will see Cupertino-based technology giant Apple launching its iPad Mini 5 and the second half of the year will see the launch of new 10-inch iPad, according to a report in China Times. The iPad Mini 5 is the successor of the current iPad Mini 4 and the upcoming 10-inch iPad will be replacing the current-generation 9.7-inch iPad. As of now, it is being said in reports that the two new iPads will lead to an increase in sales of tablets.
According to the report, the iPad Mini 5 will be launched in the first half of 2019 and its mass production is set to begin by the end of this month. Not many details about the iPad Mini 5 are available at the moment, but we know from reports that it will be a low-end device. It is worth noticing that iPad Mini has not received a major update since 2015. So Apple fans are really waiting for an upgraded version. iPad Mini 4 is the model that is currently available to buy, and in India, the 128GB storage variant is priced at Rs 34,900.
Speaking of the upcoming 10-inch iPad that Apple is working on, it succeeds the 9.7-inch screen model. Reports about the device that have surfaced online suggest that it will sport a 10-inch display and come with a thinner frame. This model is expected to launch in the second half of 2019. It has also been suggested that the 2019 iPad will come with support for an Apple Pencil 2 and Apple will be making some upgrades to its performance. It is expected to cost the same as the current-generation 9.7-inch iPad, which bears a price tag of Rs 26,320 for the base variant.
The same report has also said the technology company will be reducing the cost of the 2019 iPad. In order to do this, the company will be changing manufacturers and move to more affordable South Korean LED displays. However, this is just a speculation so far and there is no official word from the company about it so far. Till we get a statement, we would rather take it with a pinch of salt.

A few days back, Samsung launched the first-ever smartphone with an on-screen selfie camera – Galaxy A8s. While Samsung Galaxy A8s did incorporate the front-facing snapper on its display, it didn’t come with an on-screen fingerprint scanner although it has become a popular technology.
A number of reports have surfaced online that claim that Samsung Galaxy S10 will be the first smartphone from the South Korean technology giant to come with an in-display fingerprint sensor.
However, now a new report has emerged that says that Samsung’s first smartphone to sport an in-display fingerprint sensor will be the Galaxy A10 smartphone and not Galaxy S10 mobile. The leak originated in China and claims that Samsung is currently working on a Galaxy A-series smartphone, called Samsung Galaxy A10, which will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner and will be available in the upper mid-range price segment.
This information was given away in a tweet by a China-based tipster. However, he didn’t mention anything extra about the smartphone. But then, reports of Samsung Galaxy A10 being a higher end Galaxy A-series smartphone have also surfaced online previously. It was previously revealed by the same leakster that Samsung is working on a high-end Galaxy A smartphone that will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. It is worth noticing that the two pieces of information are very much in-line with each other. So, we can expect Samsung Galaxy A10 smartphone may come with an in-display fingerprint scanner as well as be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor. Considering that Samsung Galaxy A8s is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset, Snapdragon 845 SoC is a big upgrade. To recall, Samsung mobile’s chief DJ Koh had earlier said this year that the smartphone giant will be getting some premium features to its budget and mid-range mobile phones. So, like its rivals Huawei and OnePlus, Samsung may have finally decided to get features like an in-display fingerprint sensor and a powerful processor to its mid-range smartphones. Samsung’s A series have seen some remarkable additions this year including Galaxy A7 and Galaxy A9. While the former houses a triple rear camera setup, the latter is the world’s first smartphone to come with four rear cameras.

Xiaomi Redmi Go will be the first phone by the company to receive Android Go update, spotted in three certifications
The about-to-launch Android smartphone of Xiaomi, Redmi Go is said to launch with Android Pie out-of-the-box. The big news is that the Pie version is reportedly said to launch with the Go edition of Android. No phone until now has been launched in this edition by the company, so this is going to be the first one by them.
This was known on the basis of three certifications that the phones has passed. They are the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) in US, the Eurasian Economic Commission(EEC) in Russia, and Info-Communications Media Development Authority(IMDA) in Singapore. In US and Russia, the name of the phone wasn’t revealed, it was only mentioned in the Singapore certification. So, whether the Redmi Go has passed through FCC and EEC cannot be ascertained as of yet.
The model number in FCC and EEC is reportedly said to be M1903C3GG. Industry insiders also say that the US FCC certification revealed some of its specifications.

The dimensions are supposed to be 141x71x150mm and the touchscreen will come with an aspect ratio of 18:9.
The device would probably be a non-premium model just like most of Xiaomi’s budget phones. We expect its price to be under Rs 10,000. Thus, it might attract a lot of customers after its launch which is anticipated to be within the beginning of next year. The certifications also allegedly reveal that this non-flagship model is going to have a 1GB RAM.
Though we don’t know when the Redmi Go is launching, we know that the Xiaomi Mi Play will launch on 24th December. The Xiaomi Mi Play was leaked in TENAA with the model number M1901F9T. It is expected to have an octa-core CPU with 2.3GHz and a waterdrop notch.
A 5.84-inch multi-touch TFT display screen is said to be in the phone with a toughened glass on top. The about-to-launch smartphone would offer 2,280×1,080 pixels resolution and an aspect ratio of 19:9.

10 popular apps that are worth more than $1 billion
If you can build apps, you should know that one different idea can actually make you a billionaire. Don’t believe us? Here, we have listed down 10 popular apps that are worth more than $1 billion. These include instant messengers, gaming apps, applications that are used for navigation and more. Check out our list now:
WhatsApp
The most popular instant messaging app in the world had to be on the top of our list. WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook in February 2014 for $19 billion. It is worth noticing that prior to the acquisition, WhatsApp was making revenue of around $20 million per year.
The next on our list if Uber, which completely changed the way we hail cabs. Thanks to Uber, getting a cab anywhere on the globe is actually just as easy as tapping a few buttons on your smartphone. Naturally, the app made a lot of money. The app was reportedly valued at $76 billion after Toyota invested $500 million in it. However, a report in Bloomberg says that Uber has been told by the banks that it could be $120 billion company when it goes public in 2019.
Instagram
Everyone knows about Instagram’s acquisition. The photo-sharing app was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion in 2012, however, a recent Bloomberg report said that the app would have been 100 times more valuable had the deal not taken place in 2012. We should say that that truly was a good investment that Facebook made.
Snapchat has been locked in a rivalry with Facebook since ages and the app has seen its share of ups and downs. This year, its valuation fluctuated a lot and as of March 2018, it was valued at $20.82 billion. It is worth mentioning that this value was recorded after Kylie Jenner and Rihanna’s posts on social media which made the company valuation fall.
Now let’s talk about the most popular game of the year — PUBG. The game has got millions of people around the globe hooked to it. While its current valuation is not confirmed, a report in Bloomberg last year said that the valuation of Bluehole, PUBG’s developer to be over $4.6 billion. Considering that the developer’s deal with Tencent happened this year, we are sure this value only grew.
There was a time when everyone was glued to Candy Crush. And do you know how well that paid off for the makers? King, the company behind the app, was acquired by Activision Blizzard for a massive $5.9 billion in 2016. Yes, you read that right.
If Google acquires an app, there are very high chances of it being useful. And Waze is no different. Its time-saving features are indeed very useful. No wonder Google agreed to pay $1.3 billion for it when it acquired the app in 2013.
Every gamer knows about the popularity of Clash of Clans. And this popularity made its parent good money too. In 2016, Supercell, the company behind Clash of Clans and Boom Beach got acquired by Tencent at a massive $10.2 billion valuation. That’s an insane amount of money, isn’t it?
If reports are to be believed, then Jack Dorsey’s Square was actually more valuable than microblogging website earlier this year. The mobile payment service was valued at $19 billion, according to various media reports.
Kakao Talk is a popular instant messenger used in Korea and some adjacent countries. It has a user base of over 40 million and was valued at $7 billion at the beginning of the year.

Through the same keys you’ll be able to rotate your screen to the landscape position. Here is what you need to do. It is the shortest and simplest method of all. You need to press CTRL+ALT+Up Arrow. This should bring back your computer screen to the landscape position.
However, if this doesn’t work then you need to do it manually. This only works for Windows 7, 8 and 10. Here are the steps:
- Right click on desktop and then click on display settings
- In settings, you will find ‘scale and layout’. The third option would be ‘Orientation. Click on that.
- You would see the option of Landscape, Landscape(flipped) and portrait (flipped). Click on Landscape and that would bring your computer screen back to normal.

Nokia 7.1 Review: Jaw dropping beauty with exceptional performance
What a comeback it has been for Nokia. Now the HMD Global owned brand, Nokia is on the rise again. For almost half a decade the company was down and out, being kicked around from post to post. Now they have regained the lost limelight and are running towards glory. If you ask us, 2018 was the year of Nokia smartphones. They have launched exceptional smart mobiles throughout the year. And they left the best for last. The Nokia 7.1 is what they launched in the final month of 2018 and we got it over for a review. We tested it extensively and this what we found out about the too-hot-to-handle device.
Nokia 7.1 Design and Display
You get to see something new in the Nokia 7.1. Instead of the usual curved back design, this smartphone has a very nice sophisticated design. It is like a block and does remind us of the iPhone 5S. This form is refreshing to see, in a sea of mobiles that are very similar to look at. Nokia 7.1 sports a 5.84-inch FHD+ IPS display with a screen to body ratio of 79.9 percent. Which makes a lot of room in the chin area for the Nokia branding to be displayed. The notch on the top is quite small, holds sensors and the speaker grille along with the front facing camera.
Dressed in navy blue with silver chamfers on the sides, which the company says are diamond cut, the Nokia 7.1 is built of metal and glass materials. Both the front and back sport toughened glass, set on an aluminum finish. These are fingerprint attractors, but do make the smartphone look premium. The thin blocky design is great to hold and is perfect for one hand usage. The power and volume rocker buttons set on the right side are well within reach. The 3.5mm audio port and the second microphone can be found on the top side of the Nokia 7.1, while the hybrid SIM tray is placed on the left side. The SIM tray can hold two nano SIMs or one nano SIM plus the microSD card of up to 400GB.
The bottom part of the chassis has the primary microphone, USB type-C charging port as well as the mono loudspeaker. Turn the Nokia 7.1 around and you are greeted by the vertically placed cameras and a LED flash bump. Underneath that is a well-placed fingerprint sensor and the Nokia branding. The Android One logo also makes and appearance at the back and if you look closely under that, you could see that the smartphone is made in India.
Coming to the Display of the Nokia 7.1 we loved every bit of it. Yes, it is not the phablet size and is couple of notches smaller, but that does not mean it does not perform well. We give Nokia full marks in the display department. Everything from sunlight readability to indoor viewing is top notch. The text is crisp and one can clearly see great details on-screen. This has also has been made possible because the smartphone utilizes 432 pixel per inch density and supports HDR10 PureDisplay.
We ran HD videos on it and the screen did not disappoint at all. There was almost no ghosting effect and we were quite happy with what we saw. The video experience on this smartphone was quite good, we loved the HD movies on it and the loud speaker did perfect justice to it. Gaming experience on the display was vibrant, too. All in all, the display is one of the strongest points of the Nokia 7.1, after its design.
Nokia 7.1 Performance and Camera
The year 2018 has brought Nokia out of the hiding and they are proudly partnering with best chipset manufacturers. Their phones have the latest best in each price segment and Nokia 7.1 is no different. This smartphone holds the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset inside with a 1.8GHz Octa-core CPU on it. Graphics are powered by Adreno 509 and are good for entry to mid-level games. Anything above that, the phone starts to show signs of lag here and there. But, that does not mean you cannot play games like PUBG on it. The experience is quite nice thanks to the 4GB RAM on board this device. However, you might miss a shot or two while playing the game on this configuration.
For storage Nokia 7.1 comes with 64GB inbuilt memory module that is good to begin with. If you are one of serial downloaders who loves to download and keep on the phone’s storage, then you will run out of it soon. Thankfully this smartphone can, as we said before, accommodate large microSD cards. Just keep one installed, if you own a single SIM and you will be all right.
The operating system on the Nokia 7.1 is Android 9 Pie. It first came with Android 8.1 but as soon as we connected it to the Internet it upgraded over the air to the latest one. The Interface is slick and has no bloatware, since it is built on the Android One platform. This gives its user a smooth native Android experience with no drivel skins on top. The touch sensitive display buttons at the bottom work well and the app drawers is smooth to operate. One can easily roll down the top shortcuts screen and there is negligible lag in multi-tasking.
Talking about which, the Nokia 7.1 does not get hot at all. Even when you have multiple applications open or are using GPS navigation. Yes, it does get warm at times when playing graphic intensive games, but nothing that will make you place the phone in an ice bucket to cool it down. The audio reception on this smart is pretty neat and it supports 4G LTE. We used it on the reliance JIO network, since both Vodafone and Airtel are shoddy in New Delhi, and we could hear everything clearly, even when we were in a basement. WiFi bands 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac are supported, which made us get 150 MBPS speeds via our router with ease.
Thanks to which everything ran smoothly. Websites opened in a jiffy without lag along with apps and games that need an internet connection to boot up. The fingerprint on this mobile is easy to reach and does the job nicely on most counts. We faced almost no problem with it. Coming to the cameras of the Nokia 7.1, this smartphone sports a dual camera array at the back. This comprises of 12MP plus 5MP sensors (partnered with Zeiss optics) with f/1.8 and f/2.4 aperture size respectively. 4K videos can also be recorded on the rear camera. The front snapper has an 8MP sensor supporting an aperture size of f/2.0.
We had a gala time with the cameras. The colours are vibrant and the objects are sharp. The depth effect works exceptionally well and we faced very less shutter lag on them. Macro shots came out really well. Night shots on the other hand with the LED flash were good, but without it lost a lot of details. There are plenty of camera modes on the Nokia 7.1 including a pro mode that gives you additional abilities to manage your shots. As we tested it further, it became our go to mode for each and any type of shots.
The selfie camera also has the pro mode, which works well and comes with the beauty shot. The beauty shot does manage to do the job, but we have seen better ones in some of its competitors. But that is not a deal breaker, as overall the cameras do a wonderful job. Like we said before, the rear cameras can record videos in 4K at 30fps and they come out to be really close to life. Be careful these do consume a lot of space, so keeping them on the added storage is always a good idea.
The Nokia 7.1 is powered by a 3,060 mAh battery that at first seems less, however to or amazement lasted for more than a day. And our day included a lot of phone calls over 4G with WiFi on and numerous Whatsapp message exchanges. We played an hour or two of games on it as well and used GPS for an hour. And yet the phone had 20% battery left by the end of our day.
We ran couple of benchmarks on the device and it did fairly well for a mid-range device. The Nokia 7.1 scored 1,17,455 on AnTuTu, 4,249 marks on Geekbench’s compute test and 1,342 points on single core Geekbench CPU test. It also managed to get 4,866 points on Geekbench’s multi-core CPU test.
Verdict and Final Words
The Nokia 7.1 is priced at Rs 19,999, but can be picked up for few hundreds less from places like Amazon. So, does it justify the price? Yes, absolutely. If you are in search of a mid-range smartphone that has great looks, good battery life, exceptional cameras and display then you can go for it without a doubt. This smartphone is bound to get you that second look. So we are putting it out there, Nokia 7.1 is a showstopper.
Pros:
Excellent battery life
Refreshing design
Awesome display
Cons:
Smaller screen size
Some lag seen while playing high-end games
Large chin area

Large chin area Leaked: Moto G7, Moto G7 Plus, Moto G7 Power and Moto G7 Play renders
Recently, the about-to-launch Moto G7 series was passed through the US FCC. And two days ago, one of the phones, Moto G7 Play passed the Eurasian Economic Commission. A lot about the phone is being talking about yet there are some unanswered questions. Like will it run on Android Pie out-of-the-box, would it have a microSD card slot, an audio jack, a hybrid dual SIM slot, what will be final battery size? etc.
Now the renders of the smartphones have emerged. In these leaked renders we have got to know more about the above phones as well as the other phones in the range. We can also do a comparative analysis so that you can weigh them against each other. Firstly, the Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus will have a waterdrop notch whereas the Moto G7 Power and Moto G7 Play will have the traditional notch. While the former two have a smaller notch it is comparatively thicker than the competitive brands, which also sport a waterdrop design.
The Moto G7 Power is said to have a 5,000mAh battery which would be the largest amongst all four phones. As the phone’s name suggests ‘Power’, it is quite obvious that this would happen. The screen to body ratio of the Moto G7 and G7 Plus is expected to be higher than the previous Moto series. And they are also expected to have a dual rear camera setup.
The Moto G7 Power and G7 Play are likely to have a single rear camera setup and would have a fingerprint sensor on the Motorola bat-shaped logo at the back. The difference between their cameras is that the G7 Play would have a selfie flash.
The Moto G7 is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, 4GB of RAM with 32GB internal storage. The Moto G7 Plus in turn would probably have a Snapdragon 710 SoC with 4/6GB RAM with a 64GB onboard storage. All four phones are expected to launch during early 2019, probably around MWC. Till then we can sit back and enjoy the beautiful renders and covet the phones. For those who are dying to buy them, it is the hardest thing to do. But as the old saying goes, patience breeds fruitful outcomes.

Firefox Focus browser now has Enhanced Tracking Protection and Google Safe Search
Firefox focus browser has been updated and now has Enhanced Tracking Protection, which would allow it to provide improved protection for user’s data. In the earlier version of Firefox Focus, cookies were blocked by default. However, with this enhancement, you can choose amongst which cookies you want to allow to track your data. This can be done by creating an ‘allowlist’ which would separate the trackers you want to provide access to and to those whom you do not. There is a feature called ‘Disconnect Tracking Protection’ which identifies third parties that can possibly track your data. In a nutshell, this leads to a much better and advanced form of protection for users’ data.
There is a ‘Google Safe Search’ feature added to the browser too, which hunts down suspicious activities by checking each URL visited on the server. Once Firefox Focus identifies a fraudulent site, it will alert the users and a message would be displayed on the screen to make them aware about it.
To recall, the Firefox Focus was launched back in 2017 by Mozilla Firefox with the intention to protect users’ privacy. Mozilla who owns Firefox, has regularly upgraded this browser for better protection. The Enhanced Tracking Protection is the latest one the company has launched for desktops. Reports have suggested that it is soon expected to launch in Android phones as well. Users can download the current version of the browser from Android Play Store or the iOS app store. Also, iOS users can receive automated suggestions by typing anything in the search engine and can obtain results accordingly through this update.
Another advantage of this feature is that, by curbing trackers to access your browsing data, it leads to a faster internet speed and therefore a better browsing experience.
