OnePlus is a wholly owned subsidiary of OPPO that has was launched back in 2019 and has made its mark in the smartphone department by rolling out some excellent models that have been quite well received.

Then there is the 50-inch Smart TV model that is available at the starting price of Rs.32,999, which was also quite well received by the people but now it seems that OnePlus TV is gearing up for another launch.

OnePlus Y1S Pro

Prior to the launch of any device, it is its features and specifications that most excite users and helps them decide whether they should purchase the device or not because many of them are extremely particular about the new models of any device.

Although regular brand users don’t hesitate to go for it as soon as it is launched, there are still many that are highly skeptical on whether the new model will match up to its predecessors or not, which is why they end up opting for some other alternative brand.

Apart from the 4K Ultra HD Resolution, OnePlus Y1S Pro also comes with a support for HDR10+ and MEMC, along with 24W speakers and run on Android TV OS.

Sony is bringing the Spider-Man Universe to the small screen

Spider Man Universe

As it finds a home on Amazon, the long-in-development Silk TV programme is finally moving forward, with ambitions for a sizable Spider-Man TV world. The superhero project Silk, which centers on Cindy Moon from Spider-Man, has been trapped in development limbo for a while. Silk was originally planned as a feature film, but it was subsequently changed to become a TV show.

Several live-action projects based on Sony-owned Marvel characters were ordered by Amazon Studios on Thursday. Silk: Spider Society, created by The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, is the first television series to be set in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU).

The Marvel character Cindy Moon, “a Korean-American lady bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker, as she escapes prison and searches for her missing family on her route to becoming the superhero known as Silk,” will be followed in the television series.

Tiffany Espenson previously played Cindy Moon in Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: Homecoming, although she lacked superhuman abilities in the MCU. The recent live-action and animated remakes of the Spider-Man franchise by Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Sony have featured some of the most dynamic superhero narratives in cinema, according to Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios. We couldn’t be happier to provide “Silk: The Spider Society” to our MGM+ and Prime Video subscribers together with Angela Kang’s artistic vision.

Bringing Korean-American superhero Silk to life on screen will be Kang’s first challenge as she looks forward to “working with the executive team on diverse, character-forward, watercooler shows for a global audience.”

Spider Man Universe

After the Spider-Verse brought numerous Spider-Man variations from throughout the Multiverse, there are a tonne more Spider-Man side characters besides Silk that may be interesting to explore. Another Spider-Man from a different reality, like Spider-Man 2099 or Spider-Punk, might be the main subject of a Sony Pictures production. Furthermore, now that it is certain to fall under the live-action category, additional characters, like as Black Cat and Silver Sable, may finally have the chance to be developed on television after nearly making it to the big screen.

The connection between these Amazon series and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, which includes the Venom, Morbius, and other properties, is as of yet unknown. It does give Amazon and Sony the opportunity to build a new foundation and introduce characters who have either already appeared on screen or have yet to make a live-action appearance if this is the beginning of a new continuity. Any number of characters, from Spider-Gwen to Flash Thompson as Agent Venom, Ben Reily’s Scarlet Spider, and even Miles Morales, could be considered as potential leads for their own television series. Only time will tell which of the 900 characters Sony and Amazon will use, with Silk: The Spider Society slated to launch the new universe.

Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Morbius are the three films that make up Sony’s Spider-Man Universe at the moment. In the near future, SSU will release Kraven the Hunter, El Muerto, Madame Web, and a second Venom film.

Deadpool 3’s working title will make Wolverine fans very happy

0
Deadpool 3

At the end of Deadpool 2, Wade Wilson, played marvellously by Ryan Reynolds, no pun intended. went back into time to make some alterations. In one of the scenes, we see Deadpool meeting with Wolverine during the events of Wolverine: Origins. Ryan Reynolds kills the scrutinised version of Fox’s Deadpool and asks Hugh Jackman to say yes when, in the future, they ask him to portray Wolverine again. Now the time has come, and Wolverine has said yes.

The Deadpool 3 release date announcement was as perfect as it could be. The most obvious spoiler for the movie was revealed in the trailer itself, which Ryan Reynolds shared on his social media to announce the sequel and revealed that Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) will appear in it.

Just as the fans eagerly anticipated the appearance of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in the Avengers universe, the fans also have been waiting for Deadpool to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the MCU. Additionally, fans have long wished for these two actors to play Deadpool and Wolverine in a well-made Marvel film. Now since the wish has been fulfilled, Deadpool and Wolverine fans are in for a big surprise if this reported working title is genuine.

In the announcement video, Reynolds and Jackman teased Deadpool will be pitted against Wolverine, but they never disclosed the sequel’s title. Some Wolverine fans might have been concerned that the movie will just further Wade Wilson’s story and use the character as a glorified cameo.

However, the interviews that followed revealed that Wolverine and Deadpool would both be the main characters. In a recent interview, Ryan Reynolds made this statement without elaborating on the specifics of the story or the title.

Deadpool 3

Fans already know that Deadpool 3 will be a multiverse film. Deadpool will need to be brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s timeline by Marvel from the Fox reality. Likewise with Wolverine. The two characters may make appearances in other important Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover films.

There’s a good chance that Deadpool will return to the MCU although how many Marvel films Jackman is willing to participate in is still a mystery. For Deadpool 3, Huge is coming out of retirement.

The title of Deadpool 3 is apparently listed as “Untitled Deadpool & Wolverine Film,” according to Marvel leaker Daniel Richtman’s Patreon post. The title would be the perfect fit for the sequel, some Redditors said. According to rumours, Deadpool 3 will feature characters from the Fox universe, including the X-Men and Fantastic Four.

The major implication of that working title is that Wolverine won’t just make a brief appearance in Deadpool 3’s sequel. He’ll have Deadpool to compete with him. Other Redditors pointed out that “Untitled Deadpool Sequel” was the working title for Deadpool 2.

In a recent interview, Jackman made light of the fact that “Wolverine wouldn’t like that [Deadpool 3] title,” jokingly. It appears that Wolverine might get his way if the working title is correct. The release date for Deadpool 3 is November 8, 2024. So we have plenty of time to think about it and to watch all the previous movies with the two fan favourite characters in it.

What is Tamil play

With streaming platforms all over the world churning out content almost every other day, it is hard for consumers to keep up with the new releases. In India alone, almost 1600 movies are released annually, excluding overseas production, and it goes without saying that one of the most common ways for an average Indian to spend time is by watching movies. be it in the cinema hall or by lying on their beds and looking at their laptop or mobile screen. Everyone here appreciates a good movie, and everyone likes to talk about them, but not all people will take that trip to the cinema hall and watch their favourite Marvel movie. There can be many reasons for that, but one of the most common issues that an average moviegoer faces is that the tickets and snacks cost too much. Sometimes, even a casual trip with your friends can prove to be an expensive experience. In order to bridge that gap, people tend to browse torrent sites and download movies illegally over the weekend just to save money and time just for having a conversation with their friends. One such website is Tamil Play.

Tamil Play came into existence in 2022 and follows in the footsteps of another notorious website, Tamil Rockers. So, what exactly is Tamil Play? Tamil Play is an Indian torrent service that makes it easier to distribute music, movies, television series, and videos. The website enables peer-to-peer file sharing by allowing users to search for and download copyrighted content using magnet links and torrent files. Tamil Play has a very active user base on multiple Telegram channels. Tamil Play, along with many other similar torrent websites, has been banned by the government under the Copyright Act of 1957, Section 3, which clearly states that you can face up to six months and three years in jail with a fine between 50000 and 200000. So it’s illegal to download movies or any kind of content through Tamil Play or any other similar website.

The website is certainly appealing because it provides a wide range of content, including regional movies, Bollywood cinema, Hollywood movies dubbed in regional languages, and more. That too in high definition with excellent sound, but as previously stated, downloading movies is considered piracy and is a punishable offence by the Indian government.

So what should one do if they want to watch all the latest movies and save money? The answer is simple. If you are consuming content, then you will have to pay for it no matter what, but there are ways in which you can save your hard-earned money. First and foremost, investigate all of the streaming platforms and determine which one is the most affordable; subscribe to that. Then ask any of your friends to do the same, and let them buy a subscription to some other streaming platforms. Now you both can share your IDs and watch different content on each of the platforms whenever you want. You can do this with multiple friends or relatives. Second way to save money is to not go to the movies on weekends or to opt for morning shows, which are cheaper in comparison. Going to the movies on weekdays might be a difficult task, but if you are a movie lover, then you’ll be able to find time for it. Not only will it save you money, but you can also watch movies in less crowded cinema halls and reserve your favourite seats. There are other free OTT platforms to look into, such as MX Player and TVFPlay. MX Player was recently in the news for its two super hit shows, “Ashram” starring Bobby Deol and “Lock Up.” Both of the shows have gained critical and audience acclaim, so if you don’t mind watching ads then you can definitely tune in here. TVFPlay is another very underrated streaming service and is free as well. TVFPlay is the home of India’s most critically acclaimed webseries, “Pitchers.” Not only that, you can watch great content such as “Kota Factory” and “Permanent Roommates,” among others, by just making an account. If we consider mainstream OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hotstar-Disney+, they also offer a huge discount on their membership. For example, Amazon Prime offers mobile device streaming for just ₹200. You should explore all the cheap options that are being offered by all these streaming giants.

Redmi Note 12 Pro Explorer vs Infinix Zero Ultra – Highest Pixel Camera & Fastest Charging Duel

0
Redmi Note 12 Pro

Redmi Note 12 Pro Explorer and Infinix Zero Ultra are two devices in the market today that seem a lot similar with their similar-looking design and identical specifications. Both the devices come in similar medium range processors, 200 megapixel primary cameras and ultra fast charging capability. Anyone trying to buy one of the two is going to have a hard time if you look at these smartphones from a distance. So, to unclog some of the confusion here’s a quick Redmi Note 12 Pro Explorer VS Infinix Zero Ultra round-up.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro Explorer and Infinix Zero Ultra have similar types of fast charging capabilities where these devices are charged at over 150w to 210w. From the looks of it, Note 12 Pro might seem to be winning the processor department. However, an in-depth review of both smartphones tells us that the Redmi Note 12 Pro’s MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 1080 processor doesn’t really score better and stands almost at the same bar as Infinix Zero Ultra’s Dimensity 920.

On the whole, the difference appears very minute between the devices and might come across as the same but their response to large games clarifies the situation a lot better as both smartphones have different responses to register.

The Note 12 Pro Explorer at times seems a lot more powerful than the Infinix Zero Ultra, however, it does pay the price of this on the battery front with its small battery size as compared to the Zero Ultra. This also when measured in terms of absolute numbers didn’t seem much of a difference between the two devices.

Let’s talk about the grand 200 megapixel camera packed in both devices and how similar that makes the photography capabilities. First things first, even though they have the same megapixel cameras, the system and functionality of both devices make the end results of photography quite different.

A simple example is the camera algorithm of Zero Ultra which makes images too messy with its sharpening effects. Nothing of that sort can be seen in the Note 12 Pro Explorer. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Explorer lowers the dynamic range of the night mode to increase the image contrast and make the final images appear more like the night. As for the Zero Ultra, it turns the dynamic range higher in the night mode photos.

Conclusively, Redmi Note 12 Pro Explorer has many things working in its favour such as the fast charging speed, a great camera and most importantly, it is cheaper compared to the other device we have here. The Infinix Zero Ultra, on the other hand, has a better battery life, a more classy curved screen along with a really good ultra wide camera that ensures users get a great smartphone experience on the whole.

Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard Returns; New Features Added

windows 11
Microsoft

Brief Summary

Microsoft is one of the biggest tech giants we have today and there is a reason why it has achieved an enviable stature that is near impossible to match, without even considering the cut throat competition it has received from its fellow tech rivals.

Therefore, the tech giant has a lot of expectations to look up to in the eyes of the public, which is so fickle natured that it can change their preference at the drop of a hat.

Luckily, Microsoft has the knack of gauging what the public wants and delivers accordingly, which is why it has managed to sustain itself at the top spot for many decades and counting.

Microsoft had announced its decision of discontinuing the iOS version of the SwiftKey Keyboard in back in September 2022 as it had decided to focus more on the Android version of it and soon, it was removed from the Apple app store once the formalities of termination were done.

It appears that the tech giant has had a change of heart as it has decided to reverse its decision and bring back the SwiftKey Keyboard for iOS devices, which was confirmed by Caitlin Roulston, an employee of the company, who claimed that SwiftKey iOS had been relisted on the Apple App Store based on customer feedback.

Microsoft

Vishnu Nath, Microsoft Vice President, has teasingly hinted that the SwiftKey iOS will be updated with brand new features, in an apparent bid to gain the favour of its users that were disgruntled when the keyboard was delisted from the app store last month.

Conclusion

The sudden decision of Microsoft relisting SwiftKey Keyboard for iOS devices has astonished many users and it is unclear as to what the tech giant has in store, which many are speculating to be an improvement in the overall typing experience on Apple devices.

It is due to the lack of third-party apps available for Apple OS, while it is an undeniable fact accepted by many users and tech experts that SwiftKey is the best keyboard by far for both Android and iOS devices.

Brief Summary

Smartphones have become an indelible part of our lives in more ways than one because they have moved on from being a mere mode of convenience for making/receiving calls to one where you can also text messages, make video calls, watch movies, songs, and play games.

It is the owners’ responsibility to take good care of his/her smartphone and it doesn’t just involve keeping it in good shape for as long as possible but to charge it from time to time.

Technology continues to evolve from time to time but one thing that doesn’t get discussed about much is the USB Type-C Port, which has become a standard cable used in all smartphones of the day.

The entire world is switching full time to Type-C port, which will be difficult for even Apple to ignore it because the company is used to having things its way and put forth its own rules that it expects for everyone to follow.

Type-c port

India requires all smartphones, notebooks, and tablets to come with USB Type-C ports because the central government has had discussions with numerous Indian regulators and private firms, while the European Union (EU) too has approved the bill for unifying USB Type-C interface.

While Apple had been content with lightning port for its iPhone 14 and upcoming models, this bill will force the tech giant to adopt the USB Type-C port standard on its iPhones and AirPods by 2024 end.

Once the EU Bill is drafted, all upcoming Apple products has to adhere to its terms and conditions by switching over to Type-C standard, although iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max will continue with wired transmission speed  for the time being.

Apple iPads uses the USB-Type C port with a speed limitation that it has to manage. If things work out well, then it won’t be long before India switches completely to USB-C interface.

A quick guide to WhatsApp Web!

WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp has to be one of the most significant applications in recent times. It goes without saying that WhatsApp single-handedly killed SMS and other forms of message sharing services. When it comes to downloads, its competitors do not even come close, as WhatsApp has surpassed 500 crores of downloads, whereas Signal is still at 10 crores and Telegram is at 100 crores. Whatsapp was founded by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, both of whom used to work for Yahoo. In August 2009, WhatsApp started to gain some traction,And in 2014, the CEO of Meta Platforms Inc., Mark Zuckerberg, announced their acquisition of Whatsapp for US $19 billion, which is their highest acquisition till now.

Time after time, WhatsApp has also come under the scrutiny of many users and country leaders. For instance, the app is banned in nine countries and is constantly accused of poor security measures. In India, users tend to send misinformation through WhatsApp. The messaging giant then imposed a limit on forwarding messages, which helped them curb the misinformation that was doing the rounds when COVID-19 was at its peak.

Since its inception, WhatsApp has also introduced great services that are different from just messaging, such as voice calls, video calls, voice messages, and even WhatsApp Pay, through which users can make transactions. Another great service that WhatsApp offers is WhatsApp web. The desktop app allows users to access WhatsApp from their laptops or personal computers. Except for calling and making payments, users can do practically everything on their mobile device.
