Last year, Samsung launched the lite version of the premium Galaxy S20 series of smartphones with the name Galaxy S20 FE. It was a 4G smartphone with a plastic body, durable, yet came at an affordable price to provide users with a premium smartphone experience. After the launch, the company received a great response from the users and due to that, they decided to work on the 5G version of the same as well. 

Although there were only rumors till now that Samsung was working on it, the new details now confirm that the smartphone is going to see the daylight very soon. The smartphone was noticed on Samsung’s Swedish website with the smartphone listed with model number SM-G780G. The phone also seems to have 6GB/8GB variants with a 128GB/256GB storage option. The two variants that were spotted for the smartphone were powered using the Snapdragon 865 chipset with Qualcomm X55 modem and the other variant with Exynos 990 for the 4G variant. 

Now the expected price for the 5G variant is €700 while the 4G smartphone is going to cost €630. Both the 4G and 5G variants of Galaxy S20 FE will come with the same specification except the network speed. There is currently no confirmation as to when the 5G variant of the phone will be made available to users and when it will be launched in various markets globally. However, it does seem like Samsung is already with the smartphone and the official announcement for the same can come at any time.

Shortly after Motorola launched Moto G60 and Moto G40 Fusion, new leaks have emerged for the Moto G20 smartphone. The phone will be the third smartphone in the series which will be launched in a short span of time. The rendered image of the smartphone that has been leaked online gives a good idea about the design and the hardware specification it will come with. The details were leaked by Nils Ahrensmeier from TechnikNews and gives a brief idea about what to expect from the smartphone. The details of the phone do confirm a 6.5-inch IPS HD display and great color reproduction. The phone is also going to come with an IP52 rating, which means it has a splash-resistant body. 

The front screen of the smartphone also comes with a waterdrop notch and a 13 MP selfie camera sensor embedded in it. On the rear, it comes with a quad-camera setup and a 48MP primary sensor. The details also confirm that the smartphone will be running on the latest Android 11 operating system. Now the thing that differs the smartphone from others in the segment is the use of the Unisoc T700 chip, which will be paired along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The phone does come with a large 5,000 mAh battery, but there does not seem to be any support for fast charging, which would lead to a couple of hours to fully charge the device. 

Since the phone has been made specifically for people looking for something in the affordable category, the company has also skipped on the fingerprint sensor. However, it does get a dedicated Google assistant button like the other smartphones in the series. A previous claim stated that the phone could be priced somewhere around €148.07. However, if that comes to be true, it does not seem to be a very good offering in this segment. Many other smartphones in the same segment are coming with a better processor, better screen, fast charging support, and fingerprint scanner. However, the lack of such features is definitely going to be a reason of concern for the company if it is launched with the same specifications.

When it comes to one of the best chat platforms, Discord is one of the first names that you will think about. Discord has been one of the top preferences of online streamers and gamers to chat with other people while playing. Recently, there was news that Microsoft is bidding $12 billion for Discord, but there was no official confirmation if the bidding went successful. However, Discord Inc. has now confirmed that they have rejected the bid from Microsoft and are focusing on the public listing which is going to be much better for their platform in the future. 

Discord has not specifically confirmed that reason behind the rejection, and recently Twitter has also shown interest in buying the Discord platform. There have been many other companies as well, which have shown a huge interest in buying Discord, and the value of Discord has been marked somewhere around $15 to $18 billion. Discord has also started focusing on new features for the platform where instead of just game-specific chat, it can also become a common chat platform for people. 

It has seen a huge increase in the number of users during the pandemic, increasing its user base and overall value. Similarly, Discord was also in talks with companies like Amazon and Epic Games. They were also reportedly offered $19.6 billion by Nuance Communications Inc. Although Discord has many deals on its table, it may take a while before selecting the best company as per their requirements and might try to strike a deal where they could value it for more than $20 billion.
