In Brief

Samsung has had some wonderful last few years in business as many of their devices have been extremely well received and proven to be much more popular than their previous models, which is an extremely difficult task to accomplish.

While getting to the top in the slippery slope of success is a huge achievement, to sustain yourself at the top for over a consistent period of time is an even greater accomplishment especially if you’re a tech giant at the stature that Samsung is, which has to constantly battle stiff competition from the likes of Apple, Sony, and other tech giants of the game.

Coming back to the topic, Samsung has done extremely well in 2022 with the launch of so many devices whether they’re smartphones, laptops, gears, etc. but there is something else in the pipeline for the company for Smart TVs that we’re going to discuss about today.

The fact that Samsung is taking its Smart TV lineup very seriously is welcome news for Smart TV lovers as they would like to learn more about what this ‘Frame TV’ business is all about because it has its own unique features that everyone needs to learn.

Flipkart cancels a massive number of iPhone 13 orders, gets slammed by netizens

Team My Mobile

October 5, 2022

Just like every year, Flipkart’s Big Billion Days sale is currently ongoing during the festive
season. The starting price for the Apple iPhone 13 during the sale was among the lowest we’ve ever seen. It was being sold at less than Rs 50,000 for the model from the previous year. But not many customers could benefit from it. While many customers were able to receive the iPhone 13 for less than Rs 50,000, a few unlucky customers also reported that their orders were cancelled.

Several customers who bought the Apple iPhone 13 on Flipkart for less than Rs 50,000 during the sale have complained that the seller cancelled their orders a few days after they were placed. Many people also took to Twitter to complain about Flipkart, calling it a scam. They said that the eCommerce giant was taking too long to process their refund because the sale would end on September 30, and the iPhone 13 price would only increase by then. Below are some complaints filed by Twitteratis.

Flipkart notified customers that if their order was cancelled during the Big Billion Days sale, they would be informed of the outcome. Many customers are assuming that the order was cancelled because the sellers could not satisfy the high demand.

However, Flipkart revealed to India Today that more than 70% of iPhone sales had been successfully delivered to customers and that very few orders had been cancelled by sellers because of errors. Flipkart, in a statement, told India Today, “Flipkart is a customer-first ecommerce marketplace and always ensures that customers’ interests are protected. We understand that close to 70 per cent of all iPhone orders placed across cities including Guntur, Gorakhpur, and Siliguri have been successfully delivered by the sellers.”

During the first few days of the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale, the Apple iPhone 13 was offered for the lowest price we have ever seen. It was being sold at just Rs 47,990. While some buyers who placed their orders in the first couple of hours of the sale had no issues, buyers who placed their orders a little later had their orders cancelled by the seller.

The iPhone 13 is now offered as part of the Big Billion Days deal on Flipkart for a price of Rs 58,990. Additionally, customers on Flipkart can use promos provided by the bank to further lower the price.

Additionally, customers on Flipkart can use promos provided by the bank to further lower the price. iPhone 13 has a 6.1-inch Retina XDR display and was released last year. The smartphone has a 12-megapixel dual rear camera configuration and an Apple A15 Bionic processor.

The Big Billion Days Sale, now in its ninth year, is taking place on Flipkart from September 23 to September 30. The yearly Flipkart sales event features a multiple discounts on a wide range of goods, including consumer electronics, home appliances, fashion accessories, etc. One of the greatest attractions of the sales festival is Apple items, particularly iPhones. The portal had previously stated that it would enable visitors to pre-book things by making a nominal advance payment of Rs 1.

Still drooling for iPhone 13, here’s how you can get your iPhone 13 easily

If you didn’t have a chance to purchase an iPhone 13 on Flipkart, you can still do so on Croma. Retail store Croma has announced its Diwali sale, during which the smartphone would be available for just 51,990 rupees. According to Croma’s teaser page for the Diwali sale, the iPhone 13 will cost 51,990 rupees. The device has an official cost of Rs 69,900. This indicates that the platform is giving the iPhone 13 at a discount of Rs 17,910.

Croma hasn’t said how long the deal will continue but remember that the price reduction will probably depend on bank cards, prepaid orders, and there will also be a flat discount, similar to what Flipkart offered.

OnePlus 11R Leaked Spec Sheet
Expected Features
Launch Date

How do you hold OnePlus smartphones? What are your expectations regarding the upcoming OnePlus 11 Pro and OnePlus 11R? Find out.

OnePlus has had a great year in 2022 with so many of their devices getting such good responses from all sundry, which is saying something as this decade old company is competing with long established tech giants like Samsung, Sony, and Apple, all of whom had their own successes in 2022.

The company has gone through many ups and downs in the past few years but has valiantly stood its ground despite facing competition from many of the tech giants as its smartphones are loved far and wide.

To keep the pace going, OnePlus is all set to launch its new smartphone model OnePlus 11 Pro very soon, which is also touted to be the next big flagship model of the company that will take the mantle forward.

However, that isn’t all, as there is strong buzz circulating about another new model called OnePlus 11R, which will be the spiritual successor to OnePlus 10R that has left many users and tech experts excited at the prospects of a new smartphone model so soon in tow with OnePlus 11 Pro.

In Brief

As it generally happens prior to the launch of a new device, OnePlus 11R has also been subjected to online leaks with the most recent being the images of its full spec sheet, along with a few of its features and specifications.

The spec sheet suggests that the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which will allow users to tell it apart from 11 Pro series, which is already in talks for coming with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 chipset.

OnePlus 10R came with the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset buy the new upcoming model will be quite different in comparison to its predecessor. As of now, there is one storage variant for 11R handset- 16GB RAM + 256GB internal configuration.

OnePlus 11R will also come with a 6.7 inch AMOLED display screen alongside a 120Hz refresh rate, both of which are the same features that OnePlus 10R also came out with while the battery power is reportedly 5,000mAh that will come with a 100W SuperVOOC fast charging support.

Coming to the camera, the handset is expected to have a 50MP main snapper, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and 2MP macro camera, while the selfie camera will be around 16MP, again which is similar to the camera features that OnePlus 10R had although one can expect certain tweaks and differences.

The date/time of launch, design, specifics, and other information regarding OnePlus 11R is not revealed as of yet although some are speculating that it will be out by the end of 2022 or maybe even launch alongside OnePlus 11 Pro in early 2023.

Here’s why, iPhone’s battery is getting out of juice faster after iOS-16 update

Team My Mobile

October 5, 2022

The most current version of Apple’s iOS is the 16 iterations of the software. The first stable edition of the programme is now ready for installation, and the public beta version of the software has been up for download for quite some time.

Even if the beta test aims to fix any bugs that could have been discovered in the programme, other bugs might surface in the final, stable version of the software.

As a result of this, it is pretty probable that over the following few days or weeks, users of smartphones running iOS-16 will begin experiencing problems with their devices. For instance, at the moment, some users of iOS 16 are reporting a significant bug in which the battery life of specific iPhone models is noticeably diminished. On the other hand, a problem could not be the sole factor contributing to this behaviour. There is the possibility of other alternatives.

iOS 16 Features

Message recall and revision functionality

iPhone owners no longer worry about embarrassing errors thanks to iOS 16’s new message editing feature. If you see a mistake in a message after you’ve sent it, you may make the necessary changes and send it again. Sending a notification may be undone at any time. There’s also an Undo Send button in case you accidentally sent a draught.

A brand-new, modifiable security screen

With iOS 16, the iPhone’s lock screen has received its most significant overhaul, making it fully configurable. You may change your lock screen by pressing and holding the screen. You may experiment with various looks by switching the lock screen’s typeface and colour filter. In addition to modifying the time and date typefaces, you can add widgets like a thermometer, an activity tracker, and a calendar to the lock screen.

The 14th-generation Pro iPhone always shows off

The always-on display that comes standard on the iPhone 14 Pro ensures that you’re constantly aware of any new alerts that have come in, even if you aren’t actively using the phone. It reduces the background image’s brightness and increases the time’s visibility; however, you could find it unnecessary and power-hungry. Adjusting the settings is the way to disable it.

Let the tactile keyboard work!

With iOS-16, Apple included haptic feedback in its default keyboard. You’ll feel little taps or vibrations as you write underneath the screen. Click “Sound and Haptics,” then “Keyboard feedback,” to activate the feature.

The battery’s % indication has returned.

Once absent from the iPhone owing to its new OLED screen, the battery % indication is again available in iOS-16. The status bar’s battery issue symbol now displays an exact percentage. Go to “Settings” > “Battery” and turn on “battery percentage” from there.

After the iOS 16 update, some iPhone users are seeing their batteries drain very quickly.

Following iOS-16, it has been reported that some iPhones’ batteries drain much more rapidly than usual. There have been instances of batteries losing more than 20 per cent of their capacity in only one hour. On the other hand, the pace at which some people’s iPhones deplete their batteries, which is around 1% every three minutes, is intolerable for some.

Potential Causes

However, a significant decrease in the time a battery lasts after an update has been loaded is often not a reason for worry and should be expected in these situations. This issue is present in more operating systems outside only Apple’s iOS. On the other hand, the first phases after a significant OS upgrade demonstrate the same behaviour on other platforms, such as Android, Mac, and Windows.

This is because the device is beginning its tasks from scratch, which includes a variety of responsibilities such as creating cache and reindexing databases, amongst other things. Your iPhone is in the process of upgrading to a new operating system compatible with iOS 16, and the process of doing so is now taking place right at this very minute.

In addition, modern mobile operating systems monitor user behaviour to ascertain which applications are used regularly and, thus, have to be placed in a “hibernated” state until necessary.

The system’s recorded use data is typically deleted once a substantial upgrade to the operating system has been applied, and the update has taken effect. Because of this, it is conceivable that it will take your smartphone several days before it can recall the applications that you use the most often. This is because of the way that smartphones store data.

Why is my iPhone battery draining so quickly?

Apple’s iOS and the state of your battery: Your iPhones’ battery may be worn out or have little capacity if the charge percentage increases when plugged in or suddenly.
Tracking your whereabouts requires a constant connection to GPS, which might be inconvenient if you use several different apps. Your device’s battery may drain faster due to this extra work.
In areas with spotty reception, your phone may drain its battery quicker than usual because of the additional effort required to establish a connection.
Updates through automatic download utilise data; when cellular data or Wi-Fi are enabled, they also use system resources.

How to Make Your iPhone Last Longer

Now that you know what to do if your iPhones’ battery suddenly dies after installing iOS 16, here are some things to keep in mind if you want to extend the life of your iPhone’s battery.

The first thing you need to remember is to ensure that the “Background App Refresh” option is never enabled. It may be found in the General section of the Settings menu. When enabled, the feature keeps the device active and continues operations in the background; as a result, the battery may be depleted more quickly.
Keep an eye out for software updates since they often include fixes for bugs and advancements to previously available functionality, such as an increase in the device’s battery life.
You are strongly encouraged to turn off the location services on your device before reading the next piece of guidance. To disable Location Services, go to the Menu, choose Settings, then Privacy, and finally Location Services. To cancel the warning, press the button labelled “Turn Off.” Because the GPS on the smartphone has to be always active to use this feature, the device’s battery life will obviously be reduced as a result of this.

Conclusion

iOS-16 revamps the Lock Screen, adding additional personalization options and widgets for quick access to information. You may eliminate distractions while using applications by linking your Lock Screen to a Focus and using Focus filters. Recent significant changes to Messages include the ability to retract a sent message.

With Visual Look Up, you may isolate the foreground of a picture and then paste it into a message or email. New features and improvements have been made to several other apps in iOS 16 as well, including Mail, Maps, Wallet, Health, News, and more.

The 10 Pro 5G has a new Sony IMX615 selfie camera
The performance and software experience of the 10 Pro 5G are very good

What are the qualities you look for before buying a smartphone? What is your favourite tech brand? What are your views on OnePlus 10 Pro 5G? Is it worth your money? Find out.

In Brief

The year 2022 has been the year of electronic devices as many of them were well received and tech giants like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Google, Microsoft, and many others coming out with many gadgets like smartphones, laptops, tablets, among others.

OnePlus too has contributed richly this year in terms of devices, which is quite a huge achievement for a company that is less than a decade old and to hold your own amongst the likes of Apple and Samsung is no less than a herculean task.

OnePlus smartphones are extremely popular throughout the world and with India being virtually the biggest export market for all tech giants, the company has exported many of its devices in the country since the past decade, most of which have been received well.

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G Review:

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G was launched in China in early 2022, which makes it a very different launch this year. The handset is slowly finding its way into other countries only now, which also includes India.

This is the one of the few models in the OnePlus 10 series of smartphones as of now while the 9 series had released three models in India last year and is the flagship model for the brand that the makers have pinned very high hopes on to emerge as successful.

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G is quite slick in design and very nice to look at that will prove to be just as successful as its predecessors because things are looking bright for the model as it has picked up to where OnePlus 9 Pro had left off by incorporating many changes on paper that makes it a worthy flagship model.

While some people were unhappy with the news of the design, I find the design very slick and exquisite, along with its numerous features and specifications that makes it completely different from other devices released this year.

My Opinion

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G has come in a red and black coloured, rectangular box with ‘OnePlus 10 Pro 5G’ imprinted right in the middle while the bottom it is given ‘Co-developed with HASSELBLAD’, again in the middle.

The box does seem a little heavy to hold, which led me to believe that there are many other things inside the box. Upon opening it, I found a black rectangle shaped package in which the device’s manual was kept along with the safety instructions where it told you what and what not to do with the device.

On further examination, I found another package cover, smaller in size than the first, which had a number of small pamphlets where one mentioned about the OnePlus Red Cable Club along with its official website that powered everything it was connected while the card itself was attached to the back.

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G Review:

Another one was a ‘Quick Start Guide’ on how to start and operate the device in its initial stages along with a set of ‘Must Know’ instructions on what all you can expect from the handset and its features.

Then, there was the smartphone in all its glory with a shiny back cover while the display screen looked very exquisite at a first glance, as though it had just been purchased from the showroom.

The handset was a little heavy, which I though was due to the back-cover but even after removing it, the smartphone still felt the same, which is why I handled it carefully as though holding a delicate but expensive piece of glass painting.

The phone was kept in a white plastic cover underneath which was the mobile charger that had ‘80W SUPERNOOC’ engraved at the back while the charger fire was dark red in colour and looked good.

Then there is the USB Type-C cable, and other things such as a SIM eject tool, stickers, etc. to complete the picture, which is does give out a feeling of royalty upon first viewing it.

I felt the design was similar to the previous OnePlus models but the phone was quite good as I thought the features and specifications lived up to my expectations, which is why others should get to know of it as well.

Design, Features & Specifications of OnePlus 10 Pro 5G

Many people found 10 Pro 5G’s design very similar to the previous models, which is why it received immense criticism during the initial stages because many users felt that the camera module layout and its shape resembled that of a kitchen hob but I felt it had its own distinct look.

The camera module, with ceramic coating, does seem to be inspired by Samsung’s flagship models that came out some time back but the display had Gorilla Glass Victus, which means that the device is scratch free.

The device is heavier than its predecessor at 201g but slimmer at 8.55mm while it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with an LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage configuration, 120Hz refresh rate, QHD+ resolution, 10-bit colour depth, low blue emissions, colour accuracy, and HDR certifications.

Moving on, the LTPO AMOLED panel, belonging to second gen, is a good improvement in this model as the refresh rate can be lowered to 1Hz while the in-display fingerprint sensor is better positioned as well, which makes it easy to locate and use.

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G Review:

It comes in two variants- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage, both of which cost Rs.66,999 and Rs.71,999, respectively, while there are two colour options to look forward to viz. Emerald Forest and Organic Black.

The Ultra-wide camera has a 50 megapixel resolution while the rear view camera has 48 megapixel SONY IMX789 sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, OIS (optical stabilisation), video recording at up to 8K 34fps while the telephoto camera has an 8 megapixel resolution with f/2.4 aperture, and OIS.

The optical zoom is around 3.3X while the digital zoom is 30X while the camera app is exquisitely designed, which makes it quite a unique thing to look at as the camera gives a shiny look to the whole device.

Coming to battery, the capacity has increased to 5,000mAh that is dual celled, a trait it shares with 9 series smartphones but this model comes with an 80W fast charging support as mentioned above while the wireless charging is the same 50W AirVOOC standard.

The battery life is quite excellent as I was careful to test it with the display resolution set to Auto and 120Hz refresh rate. I used the phone carefully where I watched a video for around six hours of onscreen time with an active SIM and was quite astonished to find that battery level went only 25% down by the end of the day.

If the display resolution to QHD+ and game heavily, the runtime will be quite less, but most users are quite satisfied with this battery life while the handset itself ran for nearly 19 hours in the HD video loop test, a unique time.

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G also features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6. The one minus point about the handset is that it does not come with an IP68 rating for any of the units sold in India, unlike the Verizon specific models that are sold in the US that have the rating and the ones sold in other countries have the same seals and water ingress protections in place.

Conclusion

OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, in a nutshell, has its fair share of pros and cons where the upgrades are a huge improvement when compared to the 9 series models. The battery too is large with quicker charging with more powerful AMOLED display and SoC, better selfie camera features, and many more.

Coming to the drawbacks, it is prone to overheating like its 9 series counterparts when the camera app is on during hot weather while the ultra-mode camera is unusable for macros while the images are not available in detailed format.

Overall, my rating for OnePlus 10 Pro 5G is ***/5 stars.

Rich Alternatives in cloud streaming

Are you fond of playing games? What are your views on Google Stadia? What are the worthy alternatives that can be availed in place of Stadia? Find out.

In Brief

Google has a wonderful 2022 as of now with the launch of many devices that have received positive response from all sundry. Apart from smartphones and laptops, it seems Google has decided to establish dominance in the gaming field as well by announcing a new cloud gaming service.

Google Stadia is a mobile game device that is all set to close down in January 2023, which has proven to be sad news for Stadia fans despite Google being known for halting promising products in the past.

Google Stadia fans are quite passionate about their games, which is why this news has hit them very hard and many of them have expressed their disappointment on many social media platforms.

The disappointment becomes more pronounced as the stadia services were doing a fine job with regards to their games right from providing greater clarity, quick response, low latency gaming performance, etc. to name a few.

Google Stadia stood apart from other cloud streaming services in this regard as many of its counterparts could offer only a few of the aforementioned services while some couldn’t even provide that.

As of now, Google Stadia is on ventilator and will soon meet its demise, which is why it is necessary to come out with worthy alternatives that can match it in many ways, if not all, so we are going to look at some of them.

Nvidia GeForce Now– This is also one of the best alternatives for Google Stadia because, similar to Stadia, you can play your favourite games from any device in particular be it PC, Android smartphone, Android TV, macOS, among others even though many people view it low in quality and latency when compared to Stadia but all said and done, you just need to connect your Epic Games and Steam account, aside from games from various other studios to gain access to games on Nvidia GeForce Now


Pros	Cons
Excellent library of popular games	Latency and resolution are second to Stadia
Connect accounts from other gaming stores
Compatible with multiple devices
Can play Fortnite on iPhone and iPad

Amazon Luna– If you’re fond of Ubisoft games, Amazon Luna is the platform to look for. In fact, many Stadia users played their favourite games here before its arrival on Google Platform but now that Stadia’s days are numbered, Amazon Luna might, once again, become the new hub for game lovers as its services are affordable


Pros	Cons
Pretty affordable	Mainstream games are missing
Ubisoft’s library is available
Hosts many gaming genres

Twitter Takes the TikTok Route; Showcases Full Screen Videos

Highlights

Full-screen videos now on Twitter
TikTok Route
Immersive Views

What are your views on TikTok? Are you fond of watching videos? Are you interested in seeing Twitter videos in full screen format? Find out.

In Brief

Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms we have today that led the revolution during the mid-2000s with the likes of Facebook and YouTube, which was soon to be followed by WhatsApp, Instagram, and many others.

Twitter is more or less regarded as a toxic platform nowadays where people constantly spew venom over things they hate and have no qualms in crossing their limits or going overboard in an apparent bid to force their opinions and thinking upon others.

It looks like Twitter is all set to follow in the footsteps of TikTok as it has decided to start showcasing videos in full screen format and this will be welcome news for users that are fond of watching their favourite videos with a full screen so now Twitter feeds will be replete with them.

Until now, viewers had to be content with watching Twitter videos in a smaller screen but all thanks to the new media viewer of the social media platform, the viewers can now avail a highly immersive experience, as they can immediately switch to full screen mode.

Once you click on the video, you can retweet, like, share, and comment on it, which will be similar to the features of a TikTok video and if you think that the similarity ends there, then you’re wrong.

Users can now avail the Scroll Up gesture in order to continue watching more videos in a format similar to not just TikTok but also Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts, due to which you can explore more content.

You will also get a back-arrow option through which you can exit full screen mode and go back to your original feed although only those users who’ve installed iOS 16 in their iPhones can avail this feature in the initial stages while Android users have to wait awhile before getting it.

By bringing in this new change, Twitter is catering to viewers’ demands and following the trend, even though there will be brickbats from certain users who are far from pleased with this new feature.

For the unversed, Instagram had conducted initial tests for using the full screen mode for its entire feed, which was met with immense criticism, which soon escalated to a full-scale backlash, leaving Instagram with no choice but to roll back the decision.

Conclusion

It remains to be seen whether Twitter will receive the same response as its counterpart or will users will welcome the full screen feature like some others have done but it goes without saying that it will bring in a change in viewing videos as watching it in full screen is different from watching it in a small screen.
