The launch of the Realme 8 Pro has instilled curiosity among smartphone users. The Realme Pro series is known for its high megapixel cameras and the new smartphone is set at a price of ₹ 17,999. However, considering its features, we don’t think it’s the best mid-range smartphone available in the market. The following points are enough to support our view that there are still better alternatives to look for in terms of price and features and Realme really needs to pull up their socks if they want to survive in the Indian market. Overall we found this smartphone to be quite old and boring.
In This Article
1) No improvement in processor, still the old stuff
The new Realme 8 Pro comes with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor. The performance of this smartphone is the same as that of the Realme 7 Pro making it less competitive in the market. Moreover, other smartphones like Redmi Note 10 Pro and Poco X3 offer a more powerful processor. Since the GPU installed in all three smartphones is the same, the more powerful processor will deliver a better performance and also help in gaming.
No improvement in processor, still the old stuff
2) Only 60 Hz refresh rate
The Realme 8 Pro sports a Super AMOLED 60Hz display. Although the screen quality is good, the refresh rate is sub-standard. A high refresh rate is a pre-requisite for fast-paced gaming. The Redmi Note 10 Pro renders a refresh rate of 120Hz making it suitable for lag-free gaming. With only 60Hz, the new Realme 8 Pro is not expected to go far in the gaming aspect.
Only 60 Hz refresh rate
3) Weak battery
The battery is a concern for most smartphone users. People carry out a range of tasks on their smartphone like meeting, social networking, and video streaming. The Realme 8 Pro is powered by a weak 4,500mAh battery that will not last even a day. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy M31 (in the same segment) comes packed with a massive 6000mAh battery that can keep your smartphone awake for the entire day even if you like to play games.
Weak battery
4) Nothing unique in the design
The aesthetics of the new Realme 8 Pro are similar to that of its predecessor. The only difference lies in the shape of the rear camera setup. Unlike the Realme 7 Pro, this smartphone has quad rear cameras in a square. This might be a compulsion due to a smaller dimension as compared to its predecessor. The front panel looks the same with the selfie camera embedded inside a punch hole at the top-right corner. So, no great shakes.
Nothing unique in the design
5) No development in the storage
The Realme 8 Pro comes only in one storage variant i.e. 128GB. If you want to buy this smartphone, you don’t get storage flexibility. Since the Realme 7 Pro offered 128GB, the new edition was expected to offer multiple storage variants for a variety of users. Since storage expansion is always an option, releasing a 64GB variant would have given an edge in terms of price over Redmi Note 10 Pro. As of now, the latter seems to be the preferred choice of most smartphone users.
Nothing unique in the design
In a nutshell, battery and processor are the key areas where the new Realme 8 Pro seems to be behind the mark. Which are enough reasons, to make Realme 8 Pro to be marked as very unimpressive. Smartphones like Redmi Note 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy M31 will remain the preferred options for multitasking and gaming purposes. Over that, the 60Hz display on the Realme 8 Pro is definitely a deal breaker. Stay away from this smartphone!

Slack’s new direct message feature recently got surrounded by controversies for allegedly being a tool to send abuse and harassment. The new feature comes under a cross-organisational toll names Slack Connect that enables a user with a professional Slack account to DM using the email address.
According to Jonathan Prince, Slack’s Vice President of communications and policy, “After rolling out Slack Connect DMs this morning, we received valuable feedback from our users about how email invitations to use the feature could potentially be used to send abusive or harassing messages”.
In This Article
What is the issue with Slack’s direct message?
The issue regarding the new direct message of Slack was pointed by Menotti Minutillo, a Twitter product employee. The new feature fails to block potentially abusive invites or comments. As a result, a person can use a professional Slack account as a tool for harassment provided he has the email address. Since there is no means to block the invites, it’s easy to convince someone to accept them.
According to Jonathan Prince, Slack’s Vice President of communications and policy, “Slack Connect’s security features and robust administrative controls are a core part of its value both for individual users and their organizations. We made a mistake in this initial roll-out that is inconsistent with our goals for the product and the typical experience of Slack Connect usage”.

What do experts say about Slack’s new direct message feature?
Being a workplace application, there are serious concerns regarding women dignity and cybersecurity. To send a direct message, users are asked to deliver an invitation email. These emails could be fastened with harassing texts and threatening comments. It is a challenging task to hinder these invitation mails as they come from a generic Slack address.
According to Jackie Singh, a former senior cybersecurity staffer in the Biden campaign, “Anytime a platform decides to create new and unexpected linkages between its users, trust and safety considerations must be worked in as part of the design. The way this feature has been released does not indicate sufficient thought was put into the user experience at scale”.

What are the corrective measures taken by Slack?
In response to the rising displeasure regarding the new direct message feature, Slack backtracked and announced to make improvements in the feature to avoid chances of harassment. It decided to remove the flexibility to append custom text to the invitation mails.
According to Jonathan Prince, Slack’s Vice President of communications and policy, “We are taking immediate steps to prevent this kind of abuse, beginning today with the removal of the ability to customize a message when a user invites someone to Slack Connect DMs… As always, we are grateful to everyone who spoke up, and we are committed to fixing this issue”.

It’s no breaking news that online casino is on the rise in India, but did you know that live gaming is one of the big movers? There are many reasons driving the rise in popularity, such as growing mobile use, greater internet coverage, rising disposal income, and better software. Each factor contributes to something different, resulting in the rise of live online casino games amongst Indian players.
In This Article
What are live casino games?
What exactly is meant by the term’ live casino games? These are games that are hosted by real-life dealers, streamed from studios, and made to look as if you are actually in a casino. A huge range of games now have live online versions, such as:
Poker
Roulette
Baccarat
Andar Bahar
Teen Patti
As well as classics, players also benefit from a host of modern games that have been custom made for the live format. One studio on the cutting edge of innovation is Evolution Gaming which can be found at the Raj.bet live casino. Evolution not only creates the most exciting, immersive environments, they are also one of the largest iGaming suppliers in the world and have received a tick of fairness from independent auditor eCOGRA.
Safe, fair, and secure gaming
This leads us to the next reason why Indian players are flocking to live games. These games, and internet betting as a whole, are safer than ever. Often, due to licencing, online casinos must prove that the games they provide are fair and produce the stats they claim. One of the key statistics is RTP, standing for Return To Player. This is the theoretical amount of money paid back to players over extended periods of time. Online plays and games, including live gaming, offer much better rates than those found offline at physical casinos. This means that players can expect to win more online than offline. Keep in mind RTP is a theoretical value, so sometimes players win more, sometimes less – that’s the exciting part of online gaming.
A growing number of options
The legal situation in India means that playing at physical casinos is generally illegal, but online casinos based offshore are not. Once Indian players became aware of this legal situation, the shift to online playing kicked into high gear. The industry was quick to spot the shift as well, and the thought of millions of upwardly mobile Indian players with ever greater amounts of disposable income was too tempting to pass up. Nowadays there are many fantastic online casinos bending over backwards to accommodate players from the Indian subcontinent. This means accounts in rupees, support teams speaking the language, and of course the best games such as live dealer tables which cater to local tastes. This includes classic Indian games such as Andar Bahar and Teen Patti.
Wrap up
Add all of these factors up and it is no wonder Indians prefer to play live casino games. It’s never been easier to log in at a great online casino and browse the live range, which is getting bigger, safer, and better all of the time. Since Indian players cannot play at physical casinos, it makes sense to see them doing so online. Such a huge potential is not going unnoticed so we can expect to see even more great options for Indian players to enjoy in the future.
