Google officially revealed the design of the tablet last year during the same developer’s conference, leaving pretty much nothing to imagination. We’ve come across some key details of the tablet in the recent past. All that remains is the pricing details, which is a key factor considering Google will be competing with giants like Apple, Samsung and others.

Now, Google Pixel Tablet’s pricing details have leaked online accidentally on Amazon’s Japanese site. However, the listing is now takedown but the internet is a fast place and screenshots are available online.

Google is all set to launch the Google Pixel 7a, Google Pixel Fold, and Google Pixel Buds A-series (Sky Blue) at Google I/O 2023. Few days before the Google I/O, the Google Pixel Tablet was accidentally listed on Amazon Japan. The e-commerce listing, which has now been taken down, showcased the upcoming tablet in Porcelain and Olive Green colour options.

Google Pixel Tablet Amazon listing revealed complete specifications. As per the listing, the upcoming tablet will offer a 10.95-inch display powered by a Google Tensor G2 chipset.

Nothing Phone (2) specifications Specifications, Variants and Artist Render Surface in Massive Leak Ahead of Launch suggests new iPhone 14 feature

0

Highlights

* The Nothing Phone (2) is confirmed to launch this summer.
* There hasn’t been much revealed about the upcoming smartphone but its alleged specifications are out now.
* A render of the Nothing Phone (2) also shows there aren’t any changes to the design. 
* Nothing Phone 2 is said to be available in three variants
* It is expected to maintain the transparent rear design from the Phone 1.
* Unlike the Nothing Phone 1 it will be a premium device

Nothing Phone 2 details have been teased by the UK startup, hinting at launch timelines and its design. Meanwhile, key specifications have also been shared by tipsters. The phone has also reportedly bagged a BIS certification, indicating that it is headed to India. Nothing CEO Carl Pei began teasing details of the company’s upcoming smartphone, well before the firm announced its continued partnership with chipmaker Qualcomm at MWC 2023.

After a recent teaser showing off a part of the smartphone and a clearer launch timeline, the phone’s specifications have leaked in detail, giving us plenty more details about the upcoming smartphone, including the variants that it is expected to arrive in.

Tipster Sunary Gourkhede (@Tech_Wallah) has shared two tweets, including an artist’s render of the Nothing Phone 2. The render comes from Twitter user Ben Geskin, who previously created a mockup of the image based on a recent tweet by the brand, which also revealed a portion of the upcoming device.

It is worth noting that the image gives us a vague idea about how the phone would look and isn’t a leaked image or a render based on leaked specifications either.

Nothing Phone (2) is launching this summer, the company announced last week alongside a tiny glimpse of the highly anticipated phone. The company hasn’t revealed much other than an accidental leak of its chipset months ago, but there are new leaks revealing its alleged specifications, and how it’ll look. The alleged specs leak (by a tipster with no authenticated record of leaks though) suggests the phone will get satellite connectivity much like the iPhone 14 series.

Nothing Phone (2) Design (Expected)

The Nothing Phone (1) stood out for its unique and flashy design with the transparent back and white LEDs, which the company calls the ‘Glyph Interface. A render of the Nothing Phone (2) shared by Ben Geskin shows that there’s hardly any difference in terms of design.

The placement of the LEDs are the same with a very minor change on the top right corner of the rear panel but it’s something you’ll most likely miss. The image also shows the same iPhone 12-like flat edges on the Nothing Phone (2).

A concept design of the Nothing Phone (2) also showed a similar design with one notable change which is the camera module. The iPhone XS-like vertical camera module has been replaced by a triangle-like design to house three cameras.

Another change we might see is the punch-hole camera moving to the centre of the screen and not the left corner.

Nothing Phone (2) specifications

Nothing has so far confirmed only the chipset of the Phone (2) which is going to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. This also confirms that the Nothing Phone (2) will be a premium offering from the Carl Pei-founded startup. As for the rest of the specifications, here’s what tipster @Tech_Wallah shared on Twitter.

The Nothing Phone (2) is expected to feature a 6.55-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The smartphone is said to sport a triple-camera setup with a 50MP OIS primary camera. According to the leak, the Nothing Phone (2) will launch in three variants of 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB.The smartphone is also said to pack a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging support, and wireless charging as well.

On the software front, the Nothing Phone (2) will run Android 13 with NothingS 1.5 layered on top.Connectivity options on the Nothing Phone(2) are said to be NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G support, and satellite communication.

While Nothing has confirmed the launch timeline of the Phone (2), there’s no launch date yet. Also, the Nothing Phone (2) will debut in the US but it is expected to launch in India as well.

The above information falls in line with a previous report about leaked information about the same device. However, since all of this comes from an unofficial source, we do advise our readers to take this information with a pinch of salt.

The device as per our last report is said to take place during the UK summer, which means it could be launched between July and September, but Nothing has yet to specify a launch date for the smartphone.

Faqs

1) How is the design of Nothing Phone (2)?

Ans) In terms of design, the Nothing Phone 2 is expected to maintain the company’s Glyph Interface for notifications as on the outgoing Phone 1. The rear and front panels will be made of glass with an aluminium frame sandwiched in between. The device is tipped to pack a 5,000mAh battery and come with support for fast charging. There’s no indication of both wireless charging or an IP rating at this point, which turned out to be segment-leading features for the Nothing Phone 1 in our review. However, the Phone 2 is expected to retain the Phone 1’s stereo speakers and two mics.

2) What are the variants of Nothing Phone (2) ?

Ans) According to the tipster, the upcoming handset will be available in three variants.
The base variant will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The second variant will have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with the top-of-the-line variant said to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. These appear similar to the currently availableNothing Phone 1 variants.

3) What are the specifications of Nothing Phone (2)?

Ans) The tipster also claims that the Nothing Phone 2 will sport a 6.55-inch full-HD+
AMOLED panel with a 120Hz screen refresh rate and will also have an embedded fingerprint reader. A Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC will power the phone, according to Gourkhede. The device will reportedly come with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

We can expect a 50-megapixel primary camera and two other cameras to be a part of the rear camera setup. The phone is tipped to support NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth, 5G radios and also Satellite connectivity, which could work like the Emergency SOS-like feature found on the iPhone 14 series. However, the tipster could simply be referring to regular global positioning systems (GPS) that feature on every smartphone.

Are You Receiving WhatsApp Calls From Unknown International Numbers? This Could Be A Scam but You Are Not Alone: Check What Can You Do For Your Safety

WhatsApp International Call Scam

Highlights

• Several WhatsApp users in India are receiving multiple scam calls from International numbers.
• Most of these calls are from Vietnam, Indonesia, etc.
• We strongly advise you not to accept these calls from such for their safety.
• Most of these are robocalls, but some of them are actually scammers, looking to target unsuspecting users.

In today’s digital era, WhatsApp is one of the most popular social media apps for messaging and staying connected with near and dear ones. However, it comes with a cost as this app time and again has become a tool for cybercriminals to target innocent customers. In increasing cases, fraudsters are using WhatsApp to scam the app users.

It is being reported that several WhatsApp users are receiving unknown calls from international numbers from different countries such as Ethiopia (+251), Malaysia (+60), Indonesia (+62), Kenya (+254), Vietnam (+84) and others.

WhatsApp International Call Scam

What you need to understand is that these code numbers do not necessarily mean that the calls are originating from these countries as we all know WhatsApp calls originate over the internet. Reports suggest that these international numbers are sold by agencies to scammers in the country.

In recent days, several users have reported about the new scam on microblogging site Twitter.

Okay seriously its getting out of hands!!! I have been getting these scam @WhatsApp calls from Unknown international numbers all day. Please take needed actions as all my friends have also reported the same!,” wrote one user in a Twitter post.

“I am getting lots of missed calls from Indonesian WhatsApp numbers. I think someone is not happy with my work,” wrote Vijay Patel, a Twitter user.

WhatsApp International Call Scam

Scam calls have been common in India for a couple of past years. As a result, Telecom operators recently introduced Al Filter spam to reduce the number of spam calls that a user receives in a day.

However, scammers have now started targeting users on WhatsApp. Various WhatsApp users complain that they keep receiving several unwanted WhatsApp videos and voice calls from unknown international numbers.

The report comes from Entrackr and multiple users who faced this problem. Recently, we also received calls from unknown international numbers on WhatsApp with the country code +7, designated to Russia and Kazakhstan. This suggests that scammers are using WhatsApp to target people in India and other countries.

It’s unclear how scammers are obtaining users’ phone numbers and whether they are using bots or manually targeting individuals. But these calls and messages overall are a menace.

Several Users Receiving Unknown WhatsApp Calls

WhatsApp International Call Scam

It seems that scammers have found a new way to dupe users. They have been calling users across India from international numbers. These international calls are being received from numbers with these country codes – +84 (code for Vietnam), +62 (country code for Indonesia), and +223 (code for Mali). Most of these international calls seem to be originating from Southeast Asian countries.

Do note that it is not confirmed whether the scammers are actually from these countries or are just using numbers from these countries. The report says scammers buy VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) numbers for WhatsApp online to call victims. Ritesh Bhatia, founding director of V4WEB Cybersecurity, says that the process to buy such numbers is easy, and anyone can buy them.

These scammers may also buy a SIM from the respective countries and use them to activate WhatsApp. After that, they can target any user around the globe.

WhatsApp International Call Scam

There have been many instances of such fraud. For example, Kul Bhushan from Entrackr says he received three international calls last month, and the frequency kept increasing daily. Similarly, users on Twitter have also pointed out the same issue. All these calls were reportedly from Vietnam.

We strongly advise our readers not to accept any WhatsApp voice or video calls from international numbers as they are fraud. You might now know who’s on the other side of the call and how they can use your face.

“Over the years, we have consistently invested in Artificial Intelligence and other state-of-the-art technology, data scientists and experts, and in processes, in order to keep our users safe on our platform,” a WhatsApp spokesperson told Entrackr.

Why are people getting these calls?

WhatsApp International Call Scam

The proliferation of scam calls, particularly on WhatsApp, appears to be unprecedented. Although scammers have been using conventional text messaging (SMS) for a long time to target people, the scale at which they are using WhatsApp seems new. While most of these are robocalls, some scammers are posing as HRs and luring people with the promise of jobs.

One Twitter user, Shreyansh Jain, shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp message he received from a scammer who introduced themselves as “HR Priscilla Barret” and offered him a part-time job. The job was to earn Rs 50 per like on YouTube videos and up to “10000 Rs” per day, which is clearly a scam.

According to the Entracker report, Bhaskar Majumdar, a senior communication consultant, said that the scam process has become more digital and omnichannel, including WhatsApp messages, SMS, and LinkedIn messages. He added that he receives a minimum of two calls a week, in addition to WhatsApp messages and LinkedIn messages. The process of obtaining VolP numbers for WhatsApp is straightforward, and scammers are using this to target unsuspecting users. From the number of complaints being raised on Twitter, this phenomenon seems to be well-organised, and these scammers are likely operating as a mafia.

So far, WhatsApp has not commented on this issue, but the company has been conducting awareness campaigns online and offline, encouraging users not to engage with these scam calls and messages. Telegram is also experiencing the same phenomenon, and readers are advised not to accept any unverified calls or messages from international numbers to protect themselves from these scams.

What is WhatsApp International Call Scam?

WhatsApp International Call Scam

A user on Twitter who goes by the name Shreyansh Jain revealed that he received a message from a similar international number. The contact from Vietnam introduced herself as HR Priscilla Barret, who offered the user a part-time job. The job description said that the user needs to like a YouTube video, and they will get Rs 50 for each like. They can earn up to Rs 10000 every day.

This is nothing but a scam that we reported months ago. In such cases, the scammers will either ask you to install an app that will be infected with malware or to join a Telegram channel where they will ask you to invest some amount in stocks and cryptos. This can lead to your financial or data loss. We strongly recommend our users not believe in such scams.

What WhatsApp users need to do?

WhatsApp Users Warned Not To Take Calls From International Numbers; Here's Why | കോൾ കണ്ട് ചാടിക്കേറി എടുക്കരുത്! രാജ്യാന്തര നമ്പരിൽനിന്നുള്ള വാട്സ്ആപ്പ് കോളുകൾക്കെതിരേ ...

WhatsApp users must ignore such calls and should not entertain at all. Moreover, the WhatsApp users can block and report these numbers. To block these unknown numbers on WhatsApp, you need to open a chat with the contact, then tap More > Block > Block. After this, you can also report the contact by tapping Report contact > Block.

Faqs

1) Indian WhatsApp users beware, messages and calls you are receiving from international numbers are a scam.Details?

Ans) WhatsApp is the go-to instant messaging application for a lot of us and has billions of users worldwide. However, the platform is often exploited by scammers who are trying to get a hold of people’s hard-earned money. A new scam is being reported in which people are getting calls from international numbers out of the blue. These calls are from different countries like Ethiopia (+251), Malaysia (+60), Indonesia (+62), Kenya (+254), Vietnam (+84) and others.

However, just because these calls start from a different country code does not mean that the origin of the call is actually that country.

We all know that WhatsApp calls are transmitted via the internet. And as per some media reports, there are agencies at work that are selling international numbers for WhatsApp calls in the same city as you. Hence, anybody can call from such numbers without worrying about any international call charges as would be incurred on a cellular call.
A number of users on Twitter reported receiving calls from international numbers more than once.

So what can you do? The best way out would be to simply not respond to any unknown international calls. These calls usually appear out of the blue. Hence, if you suddenly get a call from an international number, it is best to turn it down and block the number for additional safety. From trying to get your personal details to stealing your money, these scammers could have multiple malicious intentions.

Another type of scam that is being reported is that of receiving job offers via WhatsApp messages. The scammers pose to be from a reputed company and tell you that they can offer you a part-time job that can be carried out from within the comfort of your home. In most cases, the scammers first lure people by offering them a small reward for completing a ‘task’. Once the user gets their money, they start trusting the scammers and get caught up in a much-larger scam that could cost them a lot of money. Many such incidents have been reported in the past and a few users on Twitter have also highlighted the scam to raise awareness.

The internet, as we all know, has two sides. It is best to stay away from such scams by ensuring that whoever you interact with online is a trusted person. Additionally, you should never transfer money to any account or give out your personal details just because a random stranger on the internet asked you to.

2) Receiving WhatsApp calls from international numbers out of the blue? Beware! This is a scam.Details?

Ans) WhatsApp is one of the most popular social media apps, used by billions worldwide. The app time and again has become a tool for cyber criminals to target innocent customers. Once again, fraudsters are using WhatsApp to scam the app users.

This time, WhatsApp users are receiving calls from international numbers from different countries like Ethiopia (+251), Malaysia (+60), Indonesia (+62), Kenya (+254), Vietnam (+84) and others.

However, these codes do not necessarily mean that the calls are also originating from these countries as we all know Whatsapp calls originate over the internet. According to some media reports, these international numbers are sold by agencies to scammers in the country.

Multiple users have also reported about the new scam on microblogging site Twitter
“Okay seriously its getting out of hands!!! I have been getting these scam @WhatsApp calls from Unknown international numbers all day. Please take needed actions as all my friends have also reported the same!,” wrote one user in a Twitter post.

3) What should WhatsApp users do?

Ans) These calls are received by WhatsApp users out of the blue. It is advisable, at the moment, to simply ignore or reject the calls. Users can also block and report these numbers. If you unblock a contact, you won’t receive any messages, calls, or status updates the contact sent you during the time they were blocked.

To block a number on WhatsApp, open a chat with the contact, then tap More > Block > Block. You can also report the contact by tapping Report contact > Block.
Alternatively, you can open the app and tap on More options > Settings. Here, tap on Privacy > Blocked contacts. Tap Add here and search for or select the contact you want to block.

The device will come with an independent power management chip, which will likely help provide a more efficient battery life to the device.

2) What are Realme 11 Pro+ 5G specifications (expected)?

Ans) * Display: The Realme 11 Pro+ 5G is said to offer a 6.7-inch FHD+ curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
* Processor: The device will likely be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor.
* Storage and RAM: We can expect the device to feature up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB
internal storage.
* OS: The Realme 11 Pro+ 5G will run the latest
Android 13-based RealmeUl 4.0 out of the box.

Is It Legal to Download Videos from Twitter?

 Save Twitter Videos

The legality of downloading videos from Twitter is a bit of a grey area. While there is no clear-cut answer, there are a few things to consider.

First, Twitter’s terms of service state that users are not allowed to download, distribute, or reproduce copyrighted material without permission from the owner. So, if the video you’re downloading is protected by copyright, downloading it without permission would likely be a violation of Twitter’s terms of service and could potentially lead to legal issues.

That being said, there are some situations where downloading videos from Twitter may be legal. For example, if the video is in the public domain or has a Creative Commons license that allows for sharing and reuse, it may be legal to download and use the video.

Additionally, some videos on Twitter may fall under the category of fair use, which allows for limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. However, the determination of whether a particular use of a video constitutes fair use is often subjective and can vary depending on the circumstances.

Ultimately, it’s important to be aware of the potential legal issues involved in downloading videos from Twitter and to use your best judgment when deciding whether to do so.

If you’re unsure whether a particular video is legal to download, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and seek permission from the owner before downloading or using the video.
