Xbox Series X Price Jumps 6% as Rupee Falls

0
Xbox Series X

Inflation is a huge problem that has plagued India since independence. The bad news for youngsters with a fondness for electronic gadgets is that their favorite gadgets without which they cannot survive is slowly going beyond their budget.

The latest example being Xbox Series X, which is now Rs. 52,990 from Rs. 49,990. This is a 6% jump compared to its previous cost and many people are not liking it. Part of the reason is the falling of Indian Rupee compared to USD.

This time the plunge is nearly 6.5% since the Xbox Series was launched back in November 2020. This has made Microsoft give a statement citing ‘market conditions’ as the cause where it also furthered its reasoning to the regional marketplaces changing.

The change in marketplace happened in early June, which happened to coincide with the fall in Rupee against USD that has added insult to injury. Microsoft India has elaborated in the whole issue in detail.

Price Issue

Xbox has a number of online retailers but Prepaid Gamer Card is the only one of the lot that has provided an estimation on delivery and it gave the confirmation that Series X is now Rs 52,900.

Amazon and Flipkart, two of the most prominent ecommerce websites in India for online shopping, are offering Series S at a 10% discount of Rs 34,990, which was the original price of the model.

So those interested in buying old stock can definitely give it a try based on the offer although it hasn’t been made clear if the discount offer is due to online retailers or Redington, a distribution partner to Microsoft India.

Although it might seem like a consolation prize, the deal is quite good as Series S is the cheapest model of Xbox in the market as of now but in view of a probable price hike of Rs 36,990, the offer is worth considering.

To add further, Series S is the only new generation console that can be purchased easily in India apart from PlayStation 5 and Series S/X so before there is a rise in price, you can take the offer with both hands.

Amazon India has different pages for numerous electronic devices and their models but the one for Series X is blank, which implies that currently it isn’t in stock while the ones on Reliance Digital and Flipkart labels its cost at Rs 49,990.

Given the current situation, it is better to purchase one from the nearest game store in the vicinity because there are some that might not be able to afford it.

Xbox hardware isn’t much better off either with both the wireless controller and headset experiencing a price hike last month that they have reflected across many of their online retailers.

Xbox Series X

Prepaid Gamer Card has high hopes that the situation will improve in the coming months as they’re of the view that price fluctuations are normal in such cases and will become stagnant.

Web 3.0 Explaner
Web 3.0 Explaner

WWW is a term that we all our familiar with but very few know about its full form so for the unversed it is World Wide Web. Web 3.0, also known as Semantic Web, seems to be a new phenomenon in the horizon that many people are excited about.

Before getting into Web 3.0, let us refresh about Web 1.0 and 2.0 as there are many that have forgotten about it. Web 1.0 was the prevalent internet that began in the late 80s and lasted till 2000.

This website was limited to gathering limited amount of information on any topic with a few servers that we could interact with apart from a few search engines and ecommerce websites like Ebay and Amazon.

2.0 was an upgraded version of 1.0 with features that were more advanced than the latter and far more collaborative, capable and interactive that gave us smartphone and other electronic gadgets with technical finesse.

Definition

Now it is time for the 3rd generation, or rather 3.0, to come in as it will have the defining characteristics that far exceeds the technical advancements of 1.0 and 2.0 by a wide margin because it is considered the evolution of web tech.

The age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is upon us and so is Web 3.0, also known as Semantic Web, is speculated to be defined by intelligence and expertise

that will have features of high level caliber.

While 1.0 and 2.0 had interactions limited to users and websites, 3.0 will be between software and hardware but the story is much more than what meets the eye as the difference between 3.0 and its predecessors is vast.

Web 3.0 is predicted to act as the defining future of internet that will work on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Etherium with the use of blockchain technology. Unlike the previous two, no single entity will be incharge of 3.0 but it will be a trustworthy venture.

Users are known to follow the consensus protocols and with 3.0 predicted to have intelligence to rival that of the human brain, the network that comes into being will be open and require no permission.

Just like any upgraded feature of a new operating system, Web 3.0 too will be upgraded and remove the inconveniences caused by the now obsolete versions of 2.0 and 1.0 where we’ll have the websites in ubiquitous form in any device be it smartphone, desktop, tablet, etc.

A user can now connect to web with any device from anywhere, which would imply that all your software devices with all the stored data is linked with the web and work in a synchronized manner.

Features

Some important features of Web 3.0 are as follows:

  • Semantic Web

    As mentioned above, it is going to be an advanced and upgraded version of 2.0 where web technologies will be able to generate and share relevant content that just requires searching and analyzing said content where it won’t be limited to keywords but the entire summary based on how quick the web is in grasping it

 

  • Artificial Intelligence

    It is difficult to fathom that electronic devices will have the capability to think and analyze on the level of human beings but tie acute combo of semantic expertise with language processor, you can achieve results at a quicker pace

 

  • Connectivity

    Relevant data is stored because Web 3.0 has a stronger connection due to semantic metadata that will make it easy for users to access information on the topic due to the speed in connectivity

 

  • Ubiquity

    Due to the sheer volume of electronic devices, anyone can access websites and other online content from any part of the world and isn’t just limited to your desktop PC

 

  • Edge Computing

    With the new feature, saved data and applications can be processed on numerous electronic devices through network edge. This process is called Edge Computing

 

  • 3D Graphics

    All the websites and online services for Web 3.0 will be available in 3D Format like ecommerce portals, games, messaging, etc.

 

  • Blockchain

    This technology will be a gamechanger for 3.0 as it will encrypt and protect all the data in the system without leaving it vulnerable to external interference

Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition: Design and built

Since the GT series has always come up with stylish designs pared with bold colours, the GT 2 Explorer Master Edition is an exact odd one-out thing. The smartphone appears to feature an elegant beige colour paired with brown edges on all four sides. However, it also seems that the brand has particularly gone for the same camera size to maintain that essence on its phones.

Realme posted a collection of images on their website in China. These images of the Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition display a somewhat novel appearance for the device. The phone features brown trimmings on the corners that make them appear more like flaps on a shell that covers the slab. The next model is consistent with Realme’s past Explorer and Master Edition phones’ attempts to stand out from the plain variations in terms of design. The Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition, which will be the second phone after the GT Neo 3 to include a punch-hole in the dead centre, can also be seen in the photographs.

Coming to the basics first, the phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080×2412 pixels. It might also come equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and an in-display fingerprint sensor for security purposes.

It has a 50MP primary camera and a 2MP lens to support it. Furthermore, it will also feature a 16MP camera on the front for selfies and videos.

The 10 Best Messaging Apps of 2022

We all have our share of friends and enemies where the relationship with both is deeply passionate for even an enemy should be worthy of hatred. It is the friends that come to our help in times of need.

It is necessary to keep as many as possible especially in current times because you never know when you might need their assistance. The bond between friends has become stronger through messaging.

We have come a long way from letters and SMS where today Whatsapp has become an important necessity in life. Messaging apps allow you to connect with strangers and forge a deep bond with them.

Secure Messaging

Deep conversations with fast friends and pen-pals are private and confined within the mobile phones on the various messaging applications and we are going to look at the best ones to have come out in 2022.

Everyone has a private life of their own that is to be respected as also the conversations that they have over the message apps, which is possible through Secure Messaging, a process through which you can ensure that you’re messages are safe and secure.

Secure Messaging itself means ‘Message Security’ but a messaging app isn’t just limited to protecting the messages but also has numerous other features to its name that we will discuss about.

It is important that the secure app for chatting should meet all the factors to qualify as one of implicit trust for it is due to these very features that they have revolutionized many brands into lucrative business models.

  • End-to-End Encryption

    – We’ll start with the most important for all data sent and received has to be encrypted. For the unversed, encryption is the process in which data is converted into code so as to protect it from being unauthorized access and it begins from the moment the sender sends the message where no one will be able to view it, neither app expert nor service provider, and reach

  • Multi-Mode Communication

    – The era of SMSs is long gone and let’s face it, we all are bored with pressing our fingers on the keypads. Audio and video calls have become a norm since the past decade because a big plus point is that when you’re sending messages across various modes, you can easily delete them without issue

  • Supportive to Multi-platform

    – You can alter the messages at will and store private ones in your location of choice and also delete them when the situation calls for it, which has a positive impact on the security features

                                                                                 Message Apps

Application List

There are a gamut of messaging apps that guarantee security to the messages you send and receive. We are going to discuss some of them that everyone has heard about but isn’t familiar with all the features so here are the relevant options.

Telegram launching ‘Sponsored Messages’ tool to promote their channels and bots

  • Telegram

    – This platform is quite popular compared to some others which is why it is first in the list. It does not allow any third-party to come between you and your data and gain access to its contents.

  • Telegram helps connect people of different backgrounds living on opposite sides of the globe through the data centers that form a network that starts functioning when you learn about ‘secret chats’ and also has a self-destruct mechanism that deletes all messages if you command it after a set time duration.
  • It is compatible to both Apple and Android with no issue

  • Whatsapp

    – When it comes to both popularity and security, it is best option to choose when it comes to security apps where you can send and receive messages, chat over video calls as well as host them on both desktop and mobile phone.

  • It is a platform where the most private chats take place which is why it needs to be encrypted and also permits access through end-to-end encryption so that all info is secured.
  • Since Whatsapp does not store data on its server, it is invulnerable to hackers’ scrutiny and remove unnecessary conversations from the cloud backups where you are given the option to delete them either for yourself or everyone and is compatible for both Apple and Android
  • Line

    If you’re looking for private chat, then this is the best option available as of now for both phone and desktop.

  • It is the brainchild of Japan when some engineers wanted to find a way of communication during the aftermath of the Tohoku earthquake a decade back and came up with this app.
  • End-to-end encryption was immediately added that secured data privacy where you can avail benefits like HD video calling, add new friends through ‘Shake It!’, etc.

 

  • Viber

    Not only can you enjoy features like messaging and calling but can express your thoughts through emojis and GIFs. You can call anybody at leisure time and share photos/videos of all sizes along with an encrypted video chat feature on your phone and desktop

 

  • iMessage

    Again, it has end-to-end encryption feature among many others that also include users having absolute control over the length of the message along with the time limit that the receivers will be able to view it.

  • This feature is considered rather odd and elicits confusion among many users when they first know of it. You can also block and unblock contact details, send and receive mute notifications, join and leave group chat and gain net access on Apple and Mac
  • Signal

    This one is right up there when it comes security in messaging apps of 2022 where apart from the regular end-to-end encryption feature you also get free communication and messaging service that comes with a self-preserving technique that prevents of sending private messages to unintended recipients and have group chats

 

  • Threema

    Once you send the message to the intended recipient, it is permanently deleted from the message box thereby ensuring that no one will be invade the privacy of anyone because the design is such that only those that the message was intended for will be able to see it and scan QR codes to evaluate contact details

 

  • Silence

    It protects all your SMSs and MMSs because they don’t require a Wi-Fi or any internet connection and has strong security features that automatically locks the codes so that they don’t fall prey to third party applications and government agencies. Furthermore, you don’t need to Sign Up and login to get security features

  • Wickr Me

    You can interact with anyone in your contact list either individually or through group chat where both text and voice messages are secure. You don’t need to give your name, number or email id for registration thereby ensuring security. As it allows users to share their social media status and online locations, it is more of a collaborating tool than a private application.

 

  • Wire

    Aside from end-to-end encryption, it protects your message, chats, voicemail, documents and images. The user doesn’t need to activate anything because it is always turned on and being an open platform, the source code is available for the user to know and evaluate its features like sharing files, conference, group chat, etc.
