Xiaomi Pad 5 launched with Snapdragon 860 chipset

Xiaomi Pad 5 launched

Xiaomi has released the Pad 5 to challenge Apple’s dominance in the personal tablet market. Apple has dominated the tablet industry with different iterations of the iPad for years, and with good reason. No other tablet has been able to get into the specialized market that Apple has created. In comparison to Apple’s iPad, Android tablets have traditionally performed badly. Samsung and Lenovo are the only two companies that have a significant presence in the industry. When it comes to tablets, it’s clear that customers favour Apple. Xiaomi’s most recent tablet was introduced roughly three years ago. The Snapdragon 860 chipset is at the heart of the smartphone, which has 6GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage in all models. The device is powered by an 8,720 mAh battery that can charge at up to 22.5W. Xiaomi’s MIUI Global 12.5.2 runs on Android 11 on the Pad 5. The tablet was created with content consumption in mind, which is why it features a 16:10 aspect ratio. The Pad 5 includes a quad-speaker setup tuned by Harmon Kardon to make it more user-friendly for content consumption.

New feature update: Twitter will soon let you check your vibe of the day just like Facebook

Twitter vibe check feature spotted

Twitter has already started working on an amazing feature where users can update their vibe of the day. It’s not long before people will be able to check statutes popping up on the entire platform.

The feature is similar to the ones that Facebook and Instagram already have. The vibe check is also similar to the status feature and is still somewhere interesting. Here’s a close look at it!

Twitter will soon let you check your vibe like Facebook

The news comes from the renowned reverse engineer named Jane Manchun Wong. She first spotted the feature and couldn’t wait to break it to the audience. She even shared a screenshot, clearly showing the terms, “Set a Status” in the form of a box. This was said to be located just above the space where users write their text for a specific tweet.

The screenshots make it seem even more exciting than the actual news update. As clearly shown in the tweet, she could “set a status” using the composer box. Also, there are five pre-set moods available in the dropdown menu. All of them seem fun and super cool. So, now you could easily let people know your favourite binge-worthy k-drama with Twitter while eating your rameyeon! It has many other options from lurking on Twitter to even letting your people know if you’re shopping for your grocery.

Apart from Wong, Alessandro Paluzzi, who keeps an eye on all insider updates and shares about every unreleased feature, has also spotted this Twitter feature. He even shared a tweet, saying,  “Twitter is working on Vibes… It should also be possible to add an emoji, perhaps it is something similar to the feeling/activity option of Facebook posts.”

Now, the latest feature only has five statuses in the drop-down menu. At this time, there is no word on whether Twitter users will be able to modify their status updates or whether they will have to rely on pre-made ones. Whatever the situation may be, many people believe the software has been in development for a long time. Wong has even said that this upcoming Vibe Check is the same as the ‘Threads App Status,’ found on applications like Instagram.

We’re not sure if the function will really be used, but it’s giving us a lot of feelings about the traditional Facebook activities section. Furthermore, it is fair to argue that it gives a post an extra dosage of personality. However, for the time being, we’ll simply have to wait and see when the firm announces the ‘Vibe Check.’

Why Instagram’s pinned posts could be beneficial for many

0
iOS users can now delete their Instagram using the app itself, here's how to do it

Instagram has been constantly updating its features to improve user’s experience. Reportedly, the Meta-owned photo sharing app is working on a new feature to allow its users to pin their post on top of their page or profile. Facebook, another Meta-owned platform and Twitter already have this feature.

Pinning a post is a great way to feature an important announcement or highlight some of your best content to your followers and friends.

Why pinned post is important

Having pinned post feature will allow creators and other professionals to highlight some of their best work on the top of their profiles. The addition of ‘pinned post’ feature will not force visitors to scroll through many posts searching for what they want. The ‘pinned post feature’ will make Instagram feed more of a ‘portfolio’ for artists to showcase their best and most relevant work.

Instagram is yet to share any confirmed update on when the feature will go live for everyone. Many a time, Instagram releases new features for users of limited countries and regions before others. It means Indian users may have to wait longer to get this feature in their profile on Instagram. Currently, India is home to 230.25 million Instagram users, the largest audience pool in the world.

Family Center – a new, central place for parents/guardians to be more involved in their teens’ online experience, ‘Top’ and ‘Reels’ are among other new features introduced by the Instagram to offer a smooth user experience.
