Poco has released a lot of new smartphones in the Indian market in the last few months. However, most of them have been the rebranded version of the smartphones under the Mi and Redmi name, which is available in the international market. Now, Poco is about to launch another smartphone in the Indian market with the name Poco M3 Pro, which will be the rebranded version of the Redmi Note 10 5G. The company launched Poco M3 in November last year, which was an affordable 4G smartphone. 

Now, it seems that the new smartphone will be a 5 G-enabled one. The listing of smartphones on FCC certification reveals that the model number of the new smartphone is M2103K19PG, which matches the model number of the Redmi Note 10 5G and was also released in March 2021 in the Chinese market. If the reports are true, then the smartphone will have the exact same specifications but will be launched under the Poco branding. 

Therefore, the common features we can expect are a 6.5-inch LCD Full HD+ display, along with a 90Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla glass protection. As Redmi Note 10 5G, it will also be powered using the MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G chipset, which is based on the 7nm architecture and provides great performance on a budget. We can also see a 6GB RAM variant along with a 48MP triple camera setup on the back. It is a common practice for Xiaomi to sell the same phone variants with different names in different countries.

The last few months have been very critical for WhatsApp when it comes to security flaws. A lot of new flaws have been found and fixed for the app in the past few months. Now, yet another security issue has been found in WhatsApp where it allows the attackers to gain access to all the sensitive information of the users. The issue has been brought into light by CERT, which is a cyber agency in India. 

They have informed WhatsApp about the vulnerability and have confirmed the loopholes and weaknesses in the security structure of the app. The vulnerability has been discovered in the app before version v2.21.4.18 and before version v2.21.32 on the iOS platform. It’s not just one, but multiple loopholes have been found in the app which would provide the attacker with access to the code and information of the user. The reason behind the vulnerability seems to be a cache configuration in the app and the lack of any checks within the audio decoding pipeline. 

For now, the agency has recommended the users update the app on their smartphone to the latest version to resolve the issue. WhatsApp has not confirmed that issue till now however, the issue does not seem to be visible in the latest version. It is not the first time this has happened, as a lot of new bugs have been found in the code of the apps in the past few months, leading to the risk of data being exposed to attackers and hackers.

When it comes to online travel aggregators, Cleartrip has been one of the most recognized names in the Indian market. However, the last few years and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, left the company dry. The Walmart-owned company has now been acquired by e-commerce giant Flipkart, which was announced by Flipkart on Thursday. The amount for which the company has been acquired has not been disclosed by both companies. 

However, it seems like Twitter is filling up with a lot of goodbyes and farewell messages for the company. Cleartrip acknowledged all the farewell messages and said that the incorporation of product design and experience to the travel segment is what made Cleartrip more popular and since 2007, it has been following the same concept, further improving it over time. While checking out Twitter, it was found that all the customers and users of Cleartrip were actually very happy with the type of interface and easy booking experience they had with Cleartrip. 

Now, the agreement states that although Flipkart will be acquiring the company and taking over all its operations, it will still allow Cleartrip to work as a separate brand as it was before. As per the agreement, all the employees of Cleartrip have been retained as well. With Flipkart into the picture, we can definitely hope to see many more additions to the platform with more focus on providing a better user experience. At the same time, the company will also be looking to expand its base in the market of travel aggregators.

Oppo has launched a new smartphone in the European market, which is a rebranded version of Oppo Reno 5Z 5G. The new smartphone is Oppo A94 5G. The European market already has a smartphone with the name Oppo A94, but it only supports the 4G network. In order to increase the 5G smartphone offering in the market, the phone comes with the same specification, but with 5G network support. 

The phone is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 800U SoC and has been priced at EUR 359. The price is for the 8GB/128GB variant and will be offered in two different colors, Cosmo Blue and Fluid Black. The phone will have the same camera setup and specification as Reno 5Z 5G and will be made available on sale from May 3. The main USP of the phone is the slim design form, which makes it look really attractive. The phone will be running on ColorOS 11.1, which is skin-based on the Android 11 platform. 

It will also come with an AMOLED display of 6.4-inch size and a quad-camera setup with a 48MP primary camera sensor. It will carry 30W VOOC flash charging technology with a 4,310 mAh battery and will have all the connectivity options. However, at a price tag of EUR 359, it seems that the camera sensor could have been changed to 64MP, as it is something all smartphone manufacturers are offering at this price point. Apart from that, DImensity 800U is a good mid-range chipset that provides good performance and great battery life due to optimization.

When it comes to helping people digitally in the time of Covid-19, Google has tried to make its presence felt in the most helpful way. Now, the search giant is adding another feature for the common people so that they can easily search and find places where they could get the vaccination. Since it is not easy for everyone to search for the location of vaccination and book an appointment, Google is trying to make things a lot easier for them. 

The feature will be rolled out both on the Search Engine and Maps, where the user will simply have to type “COVID-19 vaccine location” and it will show all the nearest vaccination centers available near the user. Also, on the left side, the users will get an option of “Where to get it“, clicking on which will reveal the information about all the nearest centers where you can go for the vaccine. It is not the only thing Google has been doing to help people across the world. Google has also pledged that it will be providing 250k vaccination in countries with low to middle levels of income.

At the same time, they will also be funding the pop-up vaccination sites in the US. Google will also be providing an Ads grant on their platform to the government, which will be worth $250 million. It seems like Google is adding a lot of effort during this time of the pandemic, especially after the number of cases has suddenly started to rise again throughout the world.

It would not be the first time that Windows users have started facing lots of issues right after the new update. However, the issue seems to have become a lot more persistent with time and it seems that the Microsoft Windows Team is really having a bad time with them. Recently, some of the Windows 10 users have started facing a lot of issues in the operating system after installing the update KB5001330. Microsoft has released a list of all the updates in the month of April earlier this week. 

The list also included the mentioned update and was mandatory as it resolved the issue that was created because of the last update. Now many users are facing the issue where the update cannot be installed on any system. Users are also facing an error code 0x800f0984 while trying to install the update. The issue is very common on two specific devices, which are the Surface Studio 2 and Pro 7. When trying to install the update, it pauses at 20%, then 73%, and when finally it reaches 100% it crashes and fails. The three error codes that the users can see in this scenario are 0x800f081f, 0x800f0984 and 0x800f0922.

Also, if the users are able to install the updates successfully, they are facing multiple performance issues in gaming like frame rate drop, stuttering, and a lot more. Users who had the update installed, are rolling back the system to the previous version to resolve the issue. Microsoft has not made any kind of official statement on the same, but it seems like there is no fix currently to failed installation. However, if the user is facing issues after installation, the only resolution for the same is rollback to the previous version.
