The channels have been running in the country for over a decade now and the sudden closure of the channels state on how such channels are currently performing. As per the official statement from Siddharth Jain, Managing Director of Warner Media in South Asia, “After 20 years of successes for the HBO linear movie channel in South Asia and more than a decade with the WB linear movie channel, this was a difficult decision to make. 

The pay-TV industry landscape and the market dynamics have shifted dramatically, and the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for further change”.

The new Oppo A15 is a powerful entry-level phone which will be sporting a 6.52 inch LCD screen with 1600×720 pixel resolution and is powered by an Helio P35 chipset and 4,230 mAh battery. The battery seems to be kind of on the lower side where most of the smartphone brands are currently providing almost 5,000mAh battery capacity. The phone will also have a triple camera slot on the rear, which will have a 13MP primary camera alongside a 2MP macro and 2MP depth modules. 

The front screen has a waterdrop notch, which has a 5MP front selfie camera. The front camera quality does seem to be above average and you do not want to expect very high-quality images from it. The phone will have 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory, which can be explained using a micro-sd card slot. The UI on the phone is based on ColorOS 7.2 and will run on Android 10 out of the box. The phone will continue to have a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, something that is common in budget-friendly phones from Oppo, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. 

The phone will be made available in two colors Dynamic Black and Mystery Blue. The phone will be sold in India through Amazon India and will be priced at Rs 10,990.

Google Voice search has been very useful at times when you are unable to type on the phone while driving or busy doing something else. The voice assistant feature lets you use the powerful Google Search engine and search anything through voice-enabled search. Google has now added a new feature to the Google search for mobile, where it can understand the humming, whistling, and singing to identify and search songs. The new feature is called “hum to search” and is triggered when you ask Google “What is this Song?”. 

This feature seems to be really great and useful in searching songs, especially when you do not remember the lyrics of the song but still remember the tone and music. Once you hum or sing a song in the search, the Google search will provide you with a search result that is based upon the percentage match score and the song that comes closest to your voice. As per Google, the machine learning algorithm transforms the audio into a number-based sequence and matches the same sequence to other melodies, and finds the closest one. 

They also tried and tested humming, whispering, and singing of various users on the features to make it close to accurate. The feature will further improve after the “hum to search” feature is used by more and more people. The feature is currently launched for both Android and iOS platforms and will be supporting more than 20 languages across the world. It would definitely make it easier for you to search for your regional songs.
