While leaks and news about iPhone 13 are in the air as Apple would be adding some new elements this year to the iPhone, details about the new iPhone SE 3 have also started to hit the web. It seems like Apple is thinking about adding iPhone SE 3 to their list of smartphones in the year 2022 with 5G technology. The details came in from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who confirmed that the company is planning to launch the next version of the iPhone SE in the year 2022. 

The phone will come with the same design factor as the previous version but in 2022 it will be launched with an entirely new processor and 5G connectivity. Also, it is expected that it would be the cheapest 5G iPhone that will exist in the market at that time. Another rumor suggests that a Plus version of the new iPhone SE could also be expected from Apple with the launch of the iPhone SE 3. With that, the company will be able to offer affordable iPhones with a bigger screen. 

Apple has not disclosed any such information at this point in time, neither they are planning to reveal any detail about the upcoming iPhone SE models, however, we could expect some leaks about the smartphone in the future if Apple is seriously considering releasing it next year. We also expect Apple to bring something entirely new and multiple variants of the iPhone SE series this time.

Realme has just announced another C series smartphone in the affordable range with the name Realme C11. It is actually a revamped version of the Realme C11 that was launched last year, but it also comes with some improvements. The design of the smartphone is almost identical and comes with a price tag of Rs 6,999 for the 2GB/32GB RAM version. The smartphone runs on Android 11 with the Realm UI skin and has a 6.5-inch HD+ screen. 

The phone is powered using an Octa-Core processor and comes with a single 8MP camera sensor on the rear. We could say that the phone camera setup is a degrade from last year as the previous version released last year had a dual-camera setup. The phone comes with only one configuration of 2GB/32GB and has an expandable memory option of 256GB. The phone supports 4G connectivity and has all the basic connectivity options as well. One of the major features that this smartphone brings in this budget is reverse charging along with a 5,000 mAh battery capacity. 

While the new version of Realme C11 has been launched, the older version of the smartphone has been removed from the website now. The phone will currently be available in two colors which are Cool Blue and Cool Grey. The phone is currently listed on the Realme website and will come on other e-commerce websites as well. Previously, the smartphone was launched in Russia and the Philippines at a price tag of Rs 7,600.

Samsung has already been working on the new generation of foldable phones for a while now and two of the most expected smartphones in the future for the same are Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3. Both the smartphones have been recently spotted on the FCC certification where one interesting detail was also confirmed. The FCC certification confirms that the Fold 3 smartphone will have the support for S Pen. 

A while back it was confirmed that Samsung will be discontinuing the Note series and will bring the S Pen feature to other smartphones, as they brought it to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Now the support for S Pen will also be added to Fold 3, details for which comes just before Samsung’s MWC event. It was also noted that the Galaxy Z Fold3 will not have an in-built slot for the S Pen, therefore, it will be carried separately as an accessory. 

However, Samsung has been working on magnetic induction technology where the stylus could be magnetically attached to the side of the phone and charge wirelessly as well. It can be possible that Samsung tries something similar with both smartphones. The Fold 3 will also be supporting 9W of wireless charging and a wired fast charging of 25W. The FCC details also confirmed that the smartphones will support 5G and ultra-wide bands as well. There is no mention of S Pen for Flip 3 smartphones but it will have the same charging technology where 9W wireless charging support and 15W wired charging support will be available.

Sharing cross-platform content on social media is one feature that most users want and also many companies have been working on. One of the best examples of the same was Facebook, which integrated the services of Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger apps. It seems Twitter is following a similar approach now and has added a new feature, especially for iOS users. Now, iOS users can directly share the tweets on Instagram stories, earlier they were able to share the tweets directly on Snapchat

The main aim of Twitter was to allow the users to seamlessly share the tweets on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Before adding this feature, users could only share the screenshot of the tweets on social platforms. For now, the feature will only be available to iOS users while there are no details as to when the feature will be added for Android users. One can simply tap the share icon on Twitter where the users will get the option of Instagram and from there the stories can be added to the stories. 

Once the draft is created one can add various elements of Instagram and share them to Instagram stories. Apart from sharing it individually, one can also share it directly with the groups on Instagram. The update seems to be a great option for those who did not like the concept of taking a screenshot of the tweet and then sharing it on Instagram. This update will not be applicable to protected tweets and cannot share with Instagram stories.

A recent update for the Google app through Playstore has been leading it to crash on multiple devices and the issue is common across several countries. The issue was first reported on the Reddit forums and Twitter where the customer seemed to have a buggy update for Google which not only crashed the Google App but also caused malfunction in the Google Assistant and Google Lens. 

The issue is not limited to a particular country and updating the app to update number 12.23.16.23.arm64 seems to have started the problem. The issue has not yet been acknowledged by Google and there is currently no fix for the same. As per the update from the  users on social media, the app keeps giving a message that “Google keeps stopping” and the app crashes. The only option users get for the same is to close the application or send the feedback. Many users have also tried to reboot their app, but that does not seem to resolve the issue in any way. 

There was a reply by Google on the Twitter post where it mentioned that a soft reboot might help to solve the issue. While it did help some of the users, the issue remained the same on many. Another option that many users have suggested is to uninstall the update which is causing the issue by going into Settings>Apps>Google and then uninstall the updates. Google has been informed about the same through multiple platforms and we can soon expect a quick resolution for all the users

Microsoft is all set to unveil the Windows 11 operating system in their online event. However, just before that could happen, the internet is flooding with Windows 11 ISO which provides the hands-on look of the operating system before the official reveal. Now, the news is coming in that Microsoft is sending a DMCA takedown notice to all the websites on the internet which are sharing the ISO file for the operating system. The notice will be issued to anyone who is sharing a leaked copy of the unreleased Windows 11. 

Microsoft Japan has also issued a DMCA notice to Google, which focuses on the website Beebom for sharing the illegal copy of the OS. The notice complains that the operating system is copyrighted to Microsoft and should be removed from the Google Search list at once. It was earlier expected that the leaked ISO file is fake or does not provide the real experience of Windows 11. However, after the notice filed by Microsoft, it has become clear that it was in fact the real Windows 11 ISO file and it will be officially called Windows 11. 

The file has already been shared on multiple websites and torrent websites as well. As per what has been observed in the leaks, most of the design element of Windows 11 has been taken by Windows 10 and does not have a lot of difference. However, more details about it will be unveiled after the official reveal by Microsoft. Microsoft will begin the event at 11 AM on their official social handles.

When it comes to fast charging technology, Xiaomi has been one of the many companies that have been consistently working on providing better charging technology in their smartphones. Now as per the recent news, Xiaomi may be adding 100W fast charging technology to their mid-range Redmi Note series. Redmi Note series has been one of the most successful for the company in mid-range and also has been one of the most popular among the users with record sales. 

Since these smartphones are valued for money, the list of features it provides for the price is always attractive and much better than another smartphone in the segment. Now, since the company has decided to add 100W fast charging technology in the Redmi Note series, it would be the first company to bring this feature for this segment. Currently, the highest charging support in premium smartphones is 67W, and offering 100W fast charging in the mid-range segment would completely change the game. 

The company has already developed 120W wireless charging technology for their smartphones which is also known as Hypercharge. As per the development from Xiaomi in charging technology, offering 100W fast charging in mid-range smartphones would not be a surprise when it happens. Similarly, it will then set up the premium lineup of Xiaomi to offer its 200W fast charging technology. It is in fact great news for consumers who look for better battery life and fast charging capabilities on a budget. Xiaomi is expected to bring the 100W fast charging feature very soon to their Redmi Note series in the future.

A few days back it was found that the new version of PUBG just released in India with the name Battlegrounds mobile India was still sharing the game data through Chinese servers. The information spread like fire and there were rumors that they could again face a backlash from the Indian government as it was one of the major reasons why PUBG was banned before. However, it seems that Battlegrounds Mobile India has recently received an update through which the sharing of user data to China has been fixed. 

The fix was released after a probe in this matter was requested by Meenakshi Lekhi, who is the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on the Data Protection Bill. The details of data being shared with the Chinese servers have been confirmed by IGN India, after which Krafton took almost no time in fixing the issue. Not only this, Krafton has openly tweeted from the official Battleground Mobile India account confirming that they have not shared any details with the Chinese servers which they were not allowed to and only data which users have given access to by accepting the data privacy policy of the game has been shared. 

However, it does seem like the issue has brought the game into the spotlight once more. It also seems that the government agencies will keep a track of the game and the data sent to servers outside of India. There was also news that the issue happened due to the migration of data from PUBG mobile India to Battlegrounds mobile India. No matter the issue, Krafton will be taking a lot of extra care this time to avoid any issues in the future.

When it comes to charging technology in smartphones and other electronic devices, it has developed a lot over the years. From just basic charging speeds to 120W and more, charging technology and means have been increasing at a vast rate. Now Xiaomi has filed a new patent in China where the system uses mechanisms for storing energy and a sound charger allowing the smartphones to be charged using sound. The patent was filed with China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) and is something really out of the future. 

The mechanism allows the vibration from the sound to convert into an alternating current and is then converted to DC for charging the smartphones. Xiaomi has been trying to bring out and experiment with new charging technologies for their smartphone which not only makes them unique but also allow them to provide their smartphones with more efficient charging solutions. Earlier this year, the company also came up with Aircharge, where a single device at your home can charge all the devices wirelessly. 

The waves automatically connect to the devices nearby and charge them, multiple devices at one time. They have also developed a new charging technology called Hypercharge which allows fast charging of up to 200W fast charging to the devices. Although all these charging technologies are not commercially available and the company is currently working on them to make them better, it is for sure that all these charging technologies from Xiaomi are going to change the way companies provide charging solutions to the company.
