The campaign takes place in two waves where the first one ended on November 16 where people were 10 of the most creative participants had a chance to win a Vivo smartphone and an official FIFA football.
The task was to post as many videos and photos as possible on Instagram accounts that had elements of Vivo and football where the hashtag would be #VivoGiveitaShot. Those who’ve missed out on the first wave need not feel sad because the second one lasts from November 14 to December 31, 2022.
In this wave, participants need to post special Vivo filters where they can post various moments and events in their life that they think are worth celebrating with the aforementioned hashtag on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram.
Vivo will launch another campaign between December 15 and December 18 with another hashtag viz. #vAreHereToShare so that they can drive engaging and worthwhile conversations on the semi-finals and finals as the World Cup draws to a close.
Conclusion
Vivo has been a FIFA sponsor since 2017 where it has sponsored many tournaments and world cups for the brand with interesting contest opportunities for users to win exciting prices.

It seems Apple has decided to have 2022 all for its own because it has come up with so many great devices this year with the latest being iPhone 14 series and Apple Watch that were launched in September of that year but now it is all set to come out of with Apple iPhone SE 4 as well.
iPhone SE will be undergoing a massive change this time around as it will have many a significant upgrade so that the premium of iPhone lineups continue, even though its launch is still sometime away.
Apple iPhone SE 4 will be out sooner or later but whenever the time of release is nearing, there is a likely probability of its design, features, and specifications are leaked to the general public because there are tipsters out there that have good relations with inside sources that supply them with information regarding a device before its release.
Features & Specifics of Apple iPhone SE 4
While not much is known about its launch date, it has been confirmed that the design of iPhone SE will be inspired by iPhone 8 series, which had with a 4.7 inch display screen with identical proportions, along with a Touch ID Home Button, similar broad bezels, with some expected changes as it will be a whole new model.
The new design, however, will also be similar to the premium model smartphones that Apple is renowned for because you will get to see a new form of verification in place of the Home button, which might be scrapped altogether.
iPhone SE is currently the only iPhone model that has an LCD screen whereas as all others have OLED screens but the rumours are ripe that Apple is looking out for 6.1 inch OLED and LCD panel suppliers as they want to explore more on its display tech options being different from previous models.
iPhone SE 4 might have a 4GB RAM as the standard option across memory configurations while the base storage might by 128GB, while the current SE storage options are 64, 128, and 256GB, while the battery capacity could be 2,900mAh units.
Coming to camera, it will have a single one at the back with a 12MP primary sensor, which is the standard option that Apple has been using for all its iPhones until now, while there will be a 7MP sensor meant for taking selfies, which is also available in current generation iPhone SE models.
The iPhone 15 Pro models could have a faster USB Type-C port than the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus.
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will have standard Type-C ports with support for USB 2.0, the same as the Lightning port.
The iPhone 15 Pro models could support at least USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3.
Brief Summary
iPhone 14 series smartphones were launched in September 2022, thereby putting an end to the suspense of users that were eagerly waiting to try out the new series because they wanted an even better alternative to iPhone 13 series.
While the iPhone 14 series was criticized due to its design being similar to its predecessor, it still received good reviews overall, but if you think Apple has nothing else coming up or sometime, then you’re wrong because the tech giant has iPhone 15 series lined up as well.
While there are many more devices coming out before the end of 2022, Apple devices are a whole new story altogether because users have higher than usual expectations from the biggest tech giant in the world.
People have not even gotten over iPhone 14, when the buzz is strong about iPhone 15 series, although it remains a mystery as to what it will look like, but if the recent reports are anything to go by, Apple will no longer use the Lightning port and go completely for USB Type-C Port from iPhone 15 and other upcoming smartphones from the company.
Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned analyst, has confirmed that there will be two different USB Type-C Ports on the iPhone 15 series, which will comprise of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus that will have the standard ports, while the Pro models will ship with faster ports, as Mr. Kuo has stated.
If anyone is skeptical that the ports will make the device slower, Kuo has confirmed, once again, that it will be right on par with lightning port because it will support USB 2.0, while one of the Pro models will definitely support at least USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3.
It will be a whole decade since Apple will be switching from Lightning port to Type-C ports where the Thunderbolt 3 offers data transfer speeds of up to 40GB per second, and Kuo being a reliable analyst, his words can definitely be taken at face value.
In heart of hearts, we still believe in Twitter supremacy and how it has also favored society in the larger scheme of things. We all want Twitter to run well even after a little bump in the road. Maybe it won’t be hard to admit that we want Twitter verification “blue tick” against our username. If you are among those concerned users who are earnestly collecting information regarding the journey of blue tick and the days it may take, this piece is for you, Besides updating the number of employees after the mass layoffs, Twitter has also updated its FAQ on its site that suggests that It won’t be an easy way for the new Twitter users to get their subscription and the very dear to heart ‘Blue tick’. In different parts of the world, the subscription rate can vary but not the new rule that says the new Twitter users have to wait for 90 days before getting the subscription and Blue tick.
The comeback of the Blue Tick feature will come with updated conditions that users can easily be informed on the sites’ FAQ portion. This will enrich the new users to wait for roughly 3 months before verifying the account. The netizens can debate about the discerning degree of the take and make the social media giant take another decision over the same concern.
Twitter said while supporting their demand for waiting periods “at our discretion without notice.” for the further use of the social media platforms. The idea of the subscription plan that will avail people to get Blue tick is an idea the new owner had come up with under his conviction to democratize journalism.
If we notice the timeline, this new policy is announced just nearly after Twitter laid an embargo for new accounts for joining the verification streak within 48 hours after rolling out the pay-to-verify se-up. As the pay-for-verify system came with the avalanche of trolls that had possibly perplexed its users hence the owner had to take some action and reintroduce it with some changes. Musk has put some well-needed conditions for the new rule to see the daylight for a longer period with the relevant approach. We echo that the user will drop the Blue Tick if they change their username under the suspicion of being a fraud user. The social media giant has realized the announced terms and services will take some diligent employees to jot down the Blue checkmark to the new users.
Conclusion
We are all hoping for the phoenix moment of Twitter. While we are at it, the new users should be waiting a little longer, approximately 90 days to get themselves verified by the social media giant and for the subscription plan.
Probably we are just a step away from fabricating a proper chronicle of the events pertaining to Twitter, and one would accept the proposition at the drop of a hat. Lately, we have witnessed a lot is happening with this social media giant. Recently another news hit the headlines informing the valuable public that Elon Musk has unbanned some of the Twitter accounts, including Jordan Peterson and Kathy Griffin and now netizens are speculating and questioning on the potential possibility of the resurrection of Trump’s account next. We all are aware that Twitter has banned some of the well-known celebrities and sites in the past that were creating chaos on the platform or to open a topic of debate that was utterly awkward to take up on this social giant, which included conservative authors and former personality YouTuber Jordan Peterson, comedian Kathy Griffin, and conservative satire site Babylon Bee. The news on Friday was confirmed after the tweet by the new owner, Elon Musk stating that “Kathie Griffin, Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated.” That can be the reason for the happy dance for the respective faces. Further, Musk added in the same tweet that “Trump decision has not yet been made.” The verdict about the same will be soon announced that can be fun to keep an eye on. However, this new development has given the topic of discussion on the platform that has polarised the users further forming two schools of thought debating on the same.
It will be a good time to recall that, Babylon Bee and Jorden Peterson were banned this year for promoting hate speech that violated Twitter’s general conduct to protect transgender people. Moreover, we should have taken the initial tweets by Elon musk seriously, when he tweeted just after he took over the company, that “Comedy is now legal” that just got comedian Kathy Griffin restored her account, whose account was banned for riling up with the new owner and impersonating him over the roll-out of a new phenomenon to pay for getting the verification. Apparently, Twitter was taking in some serious discussions to unban some of the accounts that also included Donald trump, whose account was banned on 8th January 2021 as his then tweets had ridiculed the readers for spreading misinformation, for which Twitter informed the world of suspending his account by “permanently suspended” Donald Trump’s account, with the reason as they stated “the risk of the US president using the platform to incite further violence”
Conclusion
Well, we do wonder how Trump was keeping up by having all his opinions to himself; however, it’s just a matter of time before we will discover if Trump can entertain Twitter’s audience with his tweets or have to wait a little longer. This can also lead to the discussion among the public that is it the right move to unban the accounts that were banned while focusing on the subject of violence of any sort.
The year 2022 is about to draw to a close in a few weeks, which has been an excellent one, to say the least, when it comes to electronic devices and gadgets from numerous tech brands, while there are a slew of others that will be out very soon before the year ends.
What is it with these devices that they have become an indelible part of our lives and without which it is impossible to exist in this day and age, which is why there is no dearth of them due to new ones being launched every other day.
It isn’t just the smartphones that are important because the most important asset anyone should possess in ample measure is health and smartwatches are the ones that will act as the virtual guide for you to keep your health and fitness in check.
Speaking of smartwatches, it seems that Huawei is upgraded the features of its flagship model, Watch 3 Pro as it has been specified to the users that they need to upgrade to HarmonyOS 3, which is the latest version of the model, following which they won’t need a smartphone to use this feature.
Users just need to open the Petal Maps app on the watch and click on the ‘Taxi’ button found at the lower left corner that will help them in completing the recommended pick-point selection through which it will be easy to carry out car model selections, destination watches, and other miscellaneous itineraries.
If the latest reports are anything to go by, Huawei Watch 3 Pro new supports independent communication and navigation as this will be the first time that Petal’s travel service has landed on the watches.
Huawei Watch 3 Pro
Petal has also clarified that it will launch this unique feature on more and more smartwatch series in due course as it wants to expand its horizon to bigger and better pastures, with Huawei being just one among many.
Users can see basic information displayed on the watch interface like route info, vehicle colour, license plate info, along with other details like the real location of the driver, his travel time, and others.
Also, Watch 3 Pro also supports the non-inductive payment function where all the user has to do is to activate the Huawei payment password-free payment function as you can pay upon the completion of the trip.
