Xiaomi to soon launch a 48MP camera smartphone in India
Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi has started teasing its new smartphone that will house a 48MP primary camera. This comes right when the company is celebrating two million sales of handsets from its Redmi Note 7 series. However, Xiaomi has not revealed the brand of the new 48MP smartphone until now. But then, the Redmi India Twitter account has suggested that the upcoming handset will debut under its brand. We should mention that the upcoming smartphone would not be the first one from Xiaomi to launch with a 48MP primary camera, as the company’s Redmi Note 7 Pro already has that feature. It is also worth noticing that the news comes just days after the Chinese smartphone brand teased the launch of its smartphone in India that will come with a triple rear camera setup. Xiaomi will also be seen launching a smartphone in India that will be powered by Snapdragon 730 or Snapdragon 730G SoC. It can also be a possibility that all the teasers are actually pointing towards the same handset. So, Xiaomi may be planning to launch a Snapdragon 730 or Snapdragon 730G powered device that has a triple rear camera setup with a 48MP primary camera. The official Redmi India Twitter account has posted a teaser that suggests that it will soon be launching a smartphone with a 28MP primary camera. The tweet by the company read, “An all-new Redmi with a new 48MP Super camera is coming.” The tweet also comes with an image that confirms that the Redmi Note 7 Pro smartphone will no longer be the only device by Xiaomi to come with a 48MP primary sensor. Xiaomi India MD Manu Kumar Jain has also teased a 48MP camera smartphone while announcing that the Chinese smartphone company has surpassed the two million sales mark for its Note 7 series that comprises of Redmi Note 7 Pro and its younger sibling Redmi Note 7.
As we mentioned, it is also being speculated that the upcoming smartphone with a 48MP primary sensor will be the same as the one that will sport a triple rear camera setup. The company has also been teasing a smartphone that will be powered by Snapdragon 700-series processor. So a device with Snapdragon 730 or Snapdragon 730G SoC by Redmi is expected to be launched soon. Looking at some of the recent rumours, the new Xiaomi smartphone with a 48MP camera may be the Mi A3. What adds to this rumour is the fact that it is also expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 700-series processor.

WhatsApp Android Beta brings 155 redesigned emojis and hints of the Dark Mode
Yesterday, it was found that the popular instant messaging application WhatsApp’s calling feature was used by hackers to install spyware into the users’ devices. It was also being referred to as the violation of human rights as the spyware named ‘Pegasus’ was used to spy, track and gather information illegally. WhatsApp has said that it would take at least 10 days to bring a new patch which would fix the problem. WhatsApp is always known for bringing new updates fairly quickly, and we have already seen some of the new features in its beta or stable build. In its latest beta update, WhatsApp is getting 155 redesigned emojis and the Night Mode with it. The new WhatsApp Android Beta 2.19.139 brings with it 155 redesigned emojis. For that the user would need to download the latest beta build of the application. Currently, it is in its beta build, but it expected to come out as a stable version in the coming days and would be available on the Google Play Store. According to WABetaInfo, the application has completely redesigned some of the applications while other have received small changes.
Other than emojis, the new beta update is also said to come with the much-awaited Dark Mode which we saw in the previous beta versions. Although, in the recent beta versions, it was removed but it is brought back again this time. Now, it has been renamed to ‘Night Mode’. But it should be noted that, the Night Mode is still in development so it might take some time to see it released for the stable version of the application. The traces of Night Mode in the WhatsApp beta v2.19.139 was spotted separately by WABetaInfo and as mentioned above, it is still in development. Once enabled, Night Mode will darken the interface of the app completely. It includes Chat List, Calls, Status and others as well. Although the interface will darken but the action buttons like Send, and Call in WhatsApp will still be green as it was above. Although the exact timeline of the release of the Night Mode for WhatsApp is not known but it will soon be launched in the stable version of the application as well.

World’s first foldable laptop Lenovo ThinkPad X1 unveiled at Accelerate
Computer and electronics maker Lenovo unveiled the world’s first foldable laptop in its Lenovo Accelerate event. The company previewed the concept foldable PC which is similar to the foldable smartphones but still different. The foldable PC is named Lenovo ThinkPad X1 and it belongs to the ThinkPad-series of laptops. The company says that the new laptop is aimed at highly mobile and tech-savvy professionals who want the best hardware with portability. According to Lenovo, the ThinkPad X1 is neither a phone, nor a tablet but it is a full-fledged laptop with a foldable screen. And since it is a concept machine, the price, availability or other major details hasn’t been revealed by the company yet. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 sports a 13.3-inch (when unfolded, on being folded it is 9.6-inches) OLED 2K display made by LG Display with thin bezels. When unfolded, it looks like a huge tablet, but when folded, it looks like a laptop without a keyboard. It is powered by Intel CPUs and runs Windows operating system. The CPU and the Windows version used in it is currently not available but Lenovo has said that the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 will go on sale in 2020. It comes with features such as stereo speakers, and a pair of USB Type-C ports along with an infrared camera. It also supports Bluetooth Keyboard along with support for Wacom pens to use as a stylus. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 can also offer a full-day of battery life to the users.
The users can position the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 as per their use, they can use it as a replacement for their laptops or make it work as a PC. It utilizes a torque hinge which enables the screen to be positioned at different angles without breaking. It can also be positioned as a regular laptop. Even though it is a concept device it is still a product in the Lenovo’s ThinkPad line-up of laptops so it will give similar performance and quality the series is known for. Lenovo has used double hinge cycles so that the fold-unfold cycle of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 doesn’t put a strain to the device or break it.

According to Lenovo, it took three years of development to develop the Lenovo ThinkPad X1. When launched for commercial use in 2020, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 will open a new way for portable PCs. But on the other hand, if things don’t go right, it too could end up as the Samsung Galaxy Fold.

The Spotify Lite application does what its name suggests, it uses less space in a smartphone, it uses less data when streaming music. The new Lite app can even work in older Android smartphones with limited storage capacity. The Spotify Lite app can be downloaded separately and installed in the same phone without the one affecting the other’s performance. The Beta users of the application can download it and test it on their devices. Speaking about the new app, Amarjit Batra, Managing Director of Spotify India told IANS, “When Spotify launched in India two months ago, we had committed to localising the app so that more and more people can listen to music… Spotify Lite Beta is a step in that direction as it enables users to play millions of songs for free, takes up less space on phones, and saves data when used on the go. Our ambition is to be available on all platforms that make sense to our users, and make the music streaming experience as seamless as possible.”
The Spotify Lite application works similar to the main app, it lets the user keep track of and play his songs and artists on demand. The lite app also gives the users the ability to discover new music, keeps track of the storage, can control over the cache and the ability to clear it. Other than that, being a lite version of the main application, the Spotify Lite can work on low-end Android smartphones and in all network conditions.

Spotify is offering more than four crore songs and over 300 crore playlists from which the users can choose any type of music he wishes to listen.
