So, is this the smartphone you should be looking at while upgrading from your current device? Let’s find out in our in-depth Realme 10 Pro + review.

Realme 10 Pro + Design and Build

Realme 10 Pro+

The design has also been reworked as both the front and the back curve into the plastic frame making the phone feel razor-thin in the hand. The kaleidoscope-like glittering finish on the plastic back panel really catches the eye. However, there is no official Ingress Protection, which is both strange and yet understandable given the market segment this smartphone will be appealing.

The 10 Pro Plus with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen has a curved display with a 1080p resolution and a 120hz refresh rate. The double-reinforced glass is perfectly durable and the screen size is larger than the previous models.

The fast faster refresh rate for swiping and scrolling makes the whole everyday smartphone experience smoother. It will dial down to 60hz to save energy when idling too. Moreover, the Realme 10 Pro Plus is considerably brighter than its predecessor with a maximum of 480 nits with the manual slider and this can be further boosted to up to over 800 nits in auto mode.

If you need it outdoors, 10 Pro Plus comes with another new feature that is support for 10-bit colour depth, The colour accuracy of the screen is great along with the contrast and the support for HDR 10 plus as well. You can wake up and unlock the phone with an under-display fingerprint reader. It is super fast and consistent.

Realme 10 Pro + Hardware & Software – Dimensity 1080 5G chipset and Realme UI 4.0

The Realme 10 Pro + is powered by a brand new chipset a MediaTek Demensity 1080, which is an improvement over the previous model’s Demensity 920. This facilitates slightly better performance and efficiency along with an upgraded ISP for the cameras.

The enhanced performance isn’t huge though and it’s just based on higher clock speeds at the same CPU cores. However, it is always appreciable when smartphone manufacturers put an effort to provide some basic upgrades that we expect from newer smartphone models.

Realme 10 Pro+

Also Read: Realme 10 Pro Series Launched

The powerful processor is supported by up to 2.77Gbps* dual carrier aggregation technology and a 6nm TSMC high-efficiency process for optimum smartphone performance. The smartphone got a score of 528,313* on the AnTuTu Benchmark test.

Gamers should rest easy that the device has everything to be able to run Free Fire, MBLL, and several other mainstream mobile games smoothly.

The interface of the smartphone is Realme UI 4.0 and it would not be wrong to mention that it’s actually on top of the latest Android 13. This is a smooth clutter-free UI that is straightforward and user-friendly. If you look a little deeper, there’s plenty of custom functionality available in the UI as well.

Realme 10 Pro + Camera

The camera functionality of Realme 10 Pro + is surely impressive when compared to the other models released by the brand in recent times. This one sports a 108-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

The main camera is notable for having a higher resolution than the previous model and being able to provide three times lossless soon. Although, the one thing missing here is OIS.

The main camera shoots 12-megapixel photos by default and when taken in the daylight, the results are pretty good. There’s a great contrast in image quality with adequate dynamic range and likeable colours.

We have seen better fine details such as foliage here and there but at least the processing doesn’t draw your attention to that. It’s quite balanced and there’s a three-time zoom toggle, thanks to the main camera’s large sensor.

Videos can be captured with the main camera in up to 4K at 30fps and the quality is outstanding with excellent detail and sharpness. A point of contention could be the no-stabilization feature in the 4K video recording.

Also Read: Realme 10 vs Realme 9

In low light, 4K videos from the main camera are impressive as well. The ultra-wide is capped at 1080P and takes well-balanced videos during the day with enough detail and low noise-accurate colours.

Realme 10 Pro+

Realme 10 Pro + Larger Battery

The previous Realme flagship equivalent 9 Pro Plus had a decent battery life that one couldn’t really complain about. However, the successor Realme 10 Pro Plus has upped its game with a larger battery size and has managed to blow Its predecessor away.

The 5000mAh battery was able to score an incredible endurance rating of 149 hours in the Proprietary Battery Life Tests performed by one of the top tech bloggers.

On top of that larger battery size, the charging speed is faster too. With the bundled 67w adapter, you can easily plan on charging from 0 to 86 per cent in just about half an hour.

Verdict

The Realme 10 Pro + overall is a decent phone for the price tag and provides plenty of improvements over the previous models launched in recent years. While the 6.7-inch curved display, the 5000mAh battery life with fast charging and the camera functionality are impressive in this smartphone.

The major downsides are surely the lack of Ingress Protection and sub-standard selfie quality. On all, if you can ignore some of these minute negatives, the Realme 10 Pro + is definitely worth checking out.

The Witcher 3 Next Gen Update Causes Performance Hindrance

The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the most popular video games that we have today, although the latest news doesn’t bode well for the game as the next gen updates are said to cause performance issues for many PC players, prompting developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) to conduct an investigation.

CDPR has just recently pushed its next-gen live update for The Witcher 3, which is quite surprising that the users are complaining about the updates affecting their performance in the game.

Also Read: Netflix December 2022 Releases: Qala, Glass Onion, Emily in Paris Season 3, and More

Highlights

  • Many players are facing performance issues with the new updates in The Witcher 3: Live Hunt.
  • Some of the PC players have observed significant drops in frame and peculiar texture and model rendering throughout the duration of the game.
  • CDPR is working out on a solution although there has been no hotfix cited at the moment.

Next Gen Update on The Witcher 3 Negatively Impact Players’ Performance

It is the paramount duty of a developer to keep upgrading the games he has created and if it is as popular as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the responsibility increases manifolds.

CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is one of the most renowned developers that came up with the franchise called The Witcher 3, where it just recently came out with the next-gen live update for the game, although it has only done far more harm than good for quite a few PC players.

Many of the players are complaining that they are experiencing significant drops in frame rate, model rendering, and bizarre and peculiar texture throughout The Witcher 3, including those with high-end graphics cards who too are facing issues.

The frame rate problems include a drop below 60fps on cards from Nvidia’s 30 Series, although the pre-update in performance outpaced the latest version of the game, while The Witcher 3 subreddit has a mega thread for troubleshooting, where answers are being crowd-sourced.

Witcher 3

This is for those players who’re facing problems from memory leaks to frequent crashes, while other issues include saved files that are not loading on time, and players managing to boot it up have deemed the game “unplayable” on lower settings.

There are certain users that adjust their settings and try until they succeed, although the constant turning on/off of the PC to PC gaming troubleshooting is working only for a handful of them, while players that want to do all they can are advised things like removing mods, disabling ray tracing, GPU driver upgrades, etc.

The Witcher 3 Conclusion

The next-gen update is facing a reverse problem of sorts as the gaming consoles are doing better than PCs in this regard, when normally it is the other way round, while certain PC players are opting for certain degree of tweaking, although CDPR has the final say on the matter.

Nokia G60 5G Review

The Nokia G60 5G is a decent device with a 6.58 inch IPS LCD display, Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, Android 12 OS, triple-lens rear camera setup and 4500mAh battery support. But is Nokia G60 5G with a price of Rs 29,000 in India a smartphone you should be looking at while upgrading from your current device? Let’s find out in our Nokia G60 review.

A quick glance at Nokia G60 specifications

  • Glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), plastic frame, plastic back; Splash resistant body

Unboxing

Let’s start with the unboxing of the Nokia G60 5G. The packing box is the typical Nokia standard box with nothing fancy or extraordinary. Inside the box, you will get the handset, the SIM ejection tool, some product booklets in the languages relevant to your region and a USBC charging cable. You will also notice that there is no charging brick bundled in the box.

However, this is specifically a regional thing. So, before you place that online order or purchase the smartphone at the store, make sure you confirm on your local Nokia website exactly what items you will be getting with the handset.

Design and Build

Nokia G60 5G looks pretty decent design-wise if we can avoid nitpicking here and there. The back of the smartphone is made out of 100 recycled plastic, while the frame of polycarbonate plastic material is also 60 recycled. The phone also comes with an IP52 splash and dust resistance rating, which basically is a part of its durability features.

What this means from a user’s perspective is that accidental splashes of water or raindrops shouldn’t harm the device in any which way. However, users should be mindful since it doesn’t mean the device is waterproof.

Nokia G60 5G Review

The Ice Gray colour is cool but what we found actually interesting is the Pure Black Version of the smartphone. In terms of in-hand feel, G60 does feel solid. The back is matte but it also has tiny flakes that shine under the right lighting, overall giving a pretty cool look to the smartphone.

The texture of the back doesn’t feel completely smooth. All in all, this does have an interesting design and look even though it is not as striking as the Nokia X30.

Display

One of the key features of the Nokia G60 is its display. The smartphone comes with a 6.58-inch full high-definition IPS LCD panel with 120-hertz refresh rates. This undoubtedly is a solid LCD panel that provides good contrast, decent viewing angles, and a decent maximum brightness of around 500 nits under direct sunlight.

However, the best part about this handset is how smooth it is while playing games or just browsing through the user interface. The front panel glass is Gorilla Glass 5, which although isn’t as shatter-resistant as Gorilla Glass Victus but it does a decent job at handling micro scratches.

Moreover, if you are one of the huge bezel admirers, we have good news for you. The iconic Nokia chin is making a comeback with Nokia G60 5G although you won’t be able to find the Nokia logo this time.

Performance of Nokia G60 5G

The performance of the Nokia G60 is dependent on the combination of three specifications and that is the Android 12 operating system, the Snapdragon 695 5G processor and the 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone user experience of this device is really one of its key highlights. There are no noticeable lags or slowdowns while using this device. Apps launch almost instantly too.

The only time any user might actually feel that this is a mid-range hardware smartphone is while playing games. However, as long as you are not getting into the highest possible graphical settings or heavy games such as Gentian, the performance of the smartphone should be an issue.

Nokia G60 5G Review

Camera quality of Nokia G60 5G

Nokia G60 5G comes with a triple rear camera setup that consists of a 50-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel Ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The camera plate  in this one sports a matte plastic finish, which again doesn’t get scratched easily and has a nice 3D kind of effect. Overall, it looks alright. The camera panel design is definitely forgettable compared to the symmetrical designs we have seen Nokia experimenting with in the past.

Moreover, the smartphone also comes with an 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies and video chatting mainly.

Battery Support

The smartphone is equipped with a 4500mAh battery, which according to many Nokia advertisement campaigns should be good for up to 800 full recharge cycles. This is actually helpful to know for people who plan on using the device for a long period of time. It means that you can easily charge it for around three years without losing any significant amount of battery health.

In terms of charging speed, the Nokia G60 comes with a rather conservative 20w maximum charging speed. This goes on to show that you’ll be able to get about 50 per cent of the charge in about 40 minutes of time and a full charge in just over two hours. Now, these are segment-leading specifications by any standards and in case you are a fan of the faster-charging feature, this could be a disappointing aspect.

Although he has clarified that the update is small, he has had it from two people that the test kit is doing absolutely fine and the makers will reveal official word about it sooner than later once the process is complete.

Some gaming experts have expressed their satisfaction that the new PS5 Console will be in the developer’s hands, but it is unsurprising, seeing as to how Sony has launched new console hardware in the third year of a console generation, for multiple console generations in a row.

With PS5 already having been launched in 2020, the three-year point will be completed in 2023, while the PS5 Console is speculated to be the long rumoured PS5 Slim, which will be a follow up to PS3 Slim and PS4 Slim.

Sony hasn’t confirmed anything on the matter yet but experts are clear in their mind the new PS5 will come as a standard with no optical disc drive and retail for less than a standard PS5, while an add-in optical disc drive can be purchased separately.

A Weak Spot Detected in New iPad Through Durability Test

It isn’t easy to launch a slew of devices in quick succession even if you’re as big a brand as Apple or Samsung or Google or Xiaomi, because it takes a lot of hard work and many sleepless nights to make it better than its predecessors.

When the new device is launched, it is an occasion to celebrate both for its brand and its users, who’ve been waiting for a long time for it to launch, but are quite apprehensive on whether it will match their expectations.

A newly launched iPad was being tested online for its durability capacity by a YouTuber called Zack, who did it on his official YouTube channel, to let users know whether they should buy it or not.

Once he unboxed the package, he found the iPad in all its glory, along with a USB Type-C port to USB Type-C cable for charging, and a 20W charging break, while the iPad itself was made of 100% recycled aluminum.

He further claimed that the new iPad has “officially caught up with the rest of the world” as it came with a USB Type-C port instead of the traditional Lighting port, where he also mentioned about Apple’s decision about supporting only the 1st generation Lighting connector Apple Pencil on a USB Type-C iPad.

He began the test by first scratching the display screen with marks at Level 6 and grooves at Level 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, following which he scraped the device on its sides with a knife, where the power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner was revealed, which did not scratch.

Then he used the lighter to test the display’s resistance to fire, where the pixel on the LCD back panel turned black, only to recover later on. The final round was the bend test, where he applied pressure from the back due to which the iPad broke into two, thereby failing the test.

Transferring WhatsApp Messages from Android to iPhone

Using WhatsApp has become an everyday task ever since the messaging platform came out more than a decade back in 2011, where it was initially seen as an upgraded alternative to SMS, but in fact was much more than that.

WhatsApp has become the de facto king of messaging platforms despite receiving stiff competition from the likes of Telegram and Signal, both with a significant following of their own.

Android users, more often that iOS ones, feel the need to switchover to iPhones and want to transfer all their WhatsApp data to it, which is easier said than done because chat migration from Android to iOS is a major obstacle.

WhatsApp messages from Android to iPhone

Users need to factory reset their iPhones first before transferring WhatsApp data to it, which indicates that all the data on their iPhones will be gone and, to make matters worse, moving data to iOS is known for being unstable, buggy, slow, and lethargic.

‘Move to iOS’ has received abysmal app ratings and reviews on Google Play, which when you visit, you would find a slew of one-star reviews that don’t seem to end.

Fortunately, transferring WhatsApp messages can be achieved at a better and faster pace from Android to iOS without factory reset via the iMobie AnyTrans software, which is why many experts have recommended it to users.

Thanks to AnyTrans, there is no need to reset the iPhone or its contents for performing any operation, which is why chats are transferred with the same structure as on the Android device, due to which users can continue on the same device right from where they had ended.
