Lust Stories 2 Release Date

Lust Stories 2

Lust Stories 2 is set for release on Thursday, June 29th. The second season of the popular series will premiere on Netflix like before. This marks a more than 5-year gap between the release of the first and second season, given the prequel premiered on June 15th, 2018.

Official Trailer and Plot

Lust Stories 2

The trailer of the show was just released by the streaming giant and it shows Neena Gupta, Kajol, Mrunal Thakur, Tamannah Bhatia, and Vijay Verma playing the lead in the different sections. As expected, the characters in the trailer seem to be discussing sex.

The trailer was released just a while ago and garnered 445,080 views within four hours of its release.

Although the creators of Lust Stories 2 have been utterly mum about its components, we expect that it will use a variety of stories to explore women and their sexual urges in deeper depth.

However, according to some reports, Sujoy Ghosh is helming one of the segments of this anthology movie, and Tamannaah Bhatia from “Baahubali” fame will star in it.

She is paired with Vijay Varma, who has gained widespread attention for his roles in various shows and movies.

In a similar vein, “Badhaai Ho” director Amit Ravindernath Sharma has enlisted Kajol to serve as the face of his short movie while “Wake Up Sid” actress Konkona Sen Sharma has been tapped for one.

In the R. Balki-directed portion, it is said that new talent Mrunal Thakur had been cast opposite Angad Bedi. In his section of the anthology, Neena Gupta will also have a significant role to play.

Reception

Lust Stories 2

On June 15, 2018, Lust Stories was launched, and the way it portrayed women and their sexuality won accolades from critics.

The film’s four portions each had a unique story, but they were all united by the investigation of female sexuality—a topic that hasn’t been well explored in Indian cinema. It was rated 6.4 out of 10 on IMDb.

So tune in on the mentioned date and watch Lust Stories 2 and do tell us what you feel about the story.

Lust Stories 2 Plot/ Story: What to Expect

Lust Stories 2

Lust Stories Season 2 is expected to follow the same format as before, a series of anthology films that have similar themes of sexual relationships, intimacy issues, and other related topics. We have four exciting directors at the helm this time, including R Balki, Konkona Sen Sharma, Amit R Sharma, and Sujoy Ghosh.

Lust Stories 2 Episodes

* The first episode stars Kajol in the lead as her supposed husband starts to develop lust and feelings for their house help. The wife removes the help, much to her husband’s disappointment, while they both try to ignite their romance after a largely sexless marriage.

* In another episode, we see a woman spying on her house help, played by Amruta Subhash, having an affair with a delivery guy. On being confronted, both quarrel as to who is the hornier one among them. This episode also stars Neel Bhoopalam in the lead role. 

* Then, another episode stars names like Neena Gupta, Angad Bedi, and Mrunal Thakur. In this episode, Neena Gupta plays the horny yet practical grandmother who talks freely about topics like sex and relationships with a pair of scandalised Gen Z people who are enjoying their first few relationships.

* And, finally, and probably the most awaited episode stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma in lead roles. This story shows how a guy has a secret relationship with his ex from 10 years ago. But she refuses to have sex because he is now married to someone else.

Lust Stories 2 Trailer

The official trailer of the show sees different (four) plots centring around a few pivotal actors, who are exploring sex, desire, love, infidelity and more.

The streaming giant Netflix has disappointed the viewers from all over India. It had announced that the Lust Stories 2 web series will stream from this morning 12 am, but still, it is not streaming.

The audiences who were eagerly waiting from the early morning and disappointed. Lust Stories 2 had gained good craze because of the publicized adult content and especially Tamannaah Bhatia acting in the series.

Everyone expected the web series to stream from midnight, but the Netflix streaming platform disappointed the audience.

Earlier, the makers teased the netizens with new stills from the Netflix anthology movie. The first picture features Kajol in a yellow saree, who looks gorgeous. The second picture comes from Mrunal Thakur smiling as she talks on the phone.

The third one features Tillotama Shome, Amruta Subhash sharing the frame as they walk on a street.
Angad Bedi is also seen on his phone, smiling. Neena Gupta, who plays a granny in the movie, can be seen smiling happily. The last photograph shows the reel life (and real life) couple Tamannaah and Vijay Varma.

Netflix India shared the film stills and captioned the post, “Sugar, spice and everything will be twice as nice because Lust Stories 2 releases in just 2 days, only on Netflix.”

Lust Stories 2 is an anthology of four stories directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, Konkona Sen Sharma, R Balki and Sujoy Ghosh.
The ensemble cast includes Kajol, Vijay Varma, Tamannaah, Mrunal Thakur, Angad Bedi, Tillotama Shome, Amruta Subhash, Neena Gupta and Kumud Mishra.

Kiara Advani’s Infamous Masturbation Scene From Lust Stories Goes Viral As Season 2 Drops

Kiara Advani'sAs the second season of Lust Stories premiered on Thursday on online streaming giant Netflix, actress Kiara Advanis most-talked-about masturbation scene from Lust Stories season one started doing rounds on the internet.

The first season of Lust Stories 2 was released on June 15, 2018, and it consisted of four short film segments by Anurag Kashyap, Zoyd Akhtar, Dibakar.

Banerjee, and karan Johar. Sharing the clip from the Lust Stories one, netizens compared it with Mrunal Thakurs intimate scene in the second installment.

Kiara Advani’s Masturbation Scene

Lust Stories 2

Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal are featured in Karan Johar’s story which talks about a newly-married woman, who never finds sexual satisfaction from her over-enthusiastic naive husband. So, she turns towards self-pleasure or masturbation, using a sex toy.

The 1.47-minute-long clip shows Kiara trying a vibrator. At the same time, she is called by her in-laws and the remote of the same goes into the hands of a child. What happens next is pleasure but with a dash of embarrassment.

However, Kiara and Karan were heavily trolled at the time of the release of the show.
Not only this but family members of late singer Lata Mangeshkar also objected to use of the singer’s song during the masturbation scene.

Meanwhile, netizens compared Mrunal Thakur’s sex scene in the Lust Stories 2 to Kiara Advani’s masturbation scene.

Slamming Karan Johar, a family member of Lata Mangeshkar said, “We wonder why he needed to use a Bhajan-like song sung in the most revered voice of Asia to show his heroine in an orgasmic state. He could have used any other song.” The member added, “At her age we don’t want to expose her to this kind of ugly desecration of her song.

Why did Karan Johar use Lata Didi’s immortal song in such an embarrassing situation? I still remember how ecstatic
Karan was when Didi had recorded the song for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. He said it was a dream come true. Why turn the dream song into a nightmare now?.”

Lust Stories 2 Twitter review: Fans go gaga over Tamannaah-Vijay Varma’s chemistry, hail Kajol’s performance

Lust Stories 2

Lust Stories 2, consisting four short stories, directed by Amit Sharma, R Balki, Konkona Sen Sharma and Sujoy Ghosh dropped on OTT today.

It is billed as a collection of films that shed light on relationships from the female lens of women, stringing them together thematically. The movie features Amruta Subhash, Angad Bedi, Mrunal Thakur, Neena Gupta, Kajol, Kumud Mishra, Tamannaah Bhatia, Tillotama Shome and Vijay Varma.

Considering that the first edition – Lust Stories, was much appreciated by the audience, expectations from part two were already high. Many netizens, as expected, loved real-life couple Tamannaah and Vijay Varma’s chemistry.

One user wrote, “I couldn’t take my eyes off Tamannaah and Vijay as they made me gush over them with their scorching on-screen. Somebody, please call the fire ambulance.” Another user added, “Tamannaah-Vijay’s sex scenes were effortless and didn’t seem vulgar but added depth to the story. Their chemistry is top-notch. They deserve all the credits.” A third user chipped in and said, “Real pair on fire! 😈 #LustStories2”

As expected, Kajol stood out for most of the audience. One user wrote, “I Iove the bgm for #Kajol ‘s story 😯 it’s eerie, it’s suspenceful, mysterious and it does the thing! OMG! #LustStories2”. Another one added, “take a bow @itsKajolD 🙌 i don’t think I would’ve connected with Chanda and understood her sacrifice if it wasn’t for you! You didn’t even say anything in the last scene and i was bawling my eyes out like that was my own son 😭😭 #Kajol”. Another user commented, “Mom you nailed it @itsKajolD”.

A user perfectly summed it up by saying, “The second installment of Lust Stories 2 is a rather bold take on two unexplored topics: voyeurism, and, exhibitionism. Tillotama Shome and Amruta Subhash nail the show, out and out. Konkona Sen Sharma at her uninhibited best.”

Lust Stories 2

According to the makers, the first edition of Lust Stories ignited meaningful conversations and the second anthology has even more bold, diverse and progressive stories from different parts of India.

Bursts and thrusts of passion – off-camera, on it or merely alluded to – are peppered across Lust Stories 2, but these paroxysms are by no means all that the four tales are about.
Two of the stories in the Netflix film centre on lust as a tool of power, a means of entrapment or an act of vengeance.

This pair of tales is animated by vengeance seekers. Another segment has two women – one a corporate exec, the other a domestic help – squaring off in an unusual and searching spiral of voyeurism and arousal.

One story is set in an oneiric, beguiling little town where a chance encounter between a man and his former wife, who went missing years ago, triggers renewed but portentous ardour.

Exciting as that may sound, Lust Stories 2 does not tee off too well. The opening story (Made for Each Other, directed and co-written by R. Balki) delivers neither pleasure nor joy. A fluffy and sterile take on the centrality of good sex in a happy marriage, it steers clear of the more complex zones that the other stories explore.

Lust Stories 2

The first segment is, however, salvaged a touch by Neena Gupta as a disruptive granny who trots out refreshingly unabashed ideas about mating game rules.

Made for Each Other is about a just-engaged couple, Veda (Mrunal Thakur) and Arjun (Angad Bedi).

At the behest of the girl’s grandmother who believes that no marriage can survive bad sex, they decide to put their “compatibility in the bedroom” to the test before they get legally hitched.

The no-nonsense naani insists that only Mount Fuji-like eruptions would count as peak performance. While the young couple is at it – all the action takes place behind closed hotel doors – the old woman turns her attention to her 52-year-old son (Hemant Kher) and 48-year-old daughter-in-law (Kanupriya Pandit).

Rekindle the spark that has gone out of your marriage, she says to the girl’s parents, all the while talking up the great sex that she had with her husband till the day he was alive.

Lust Stories 2

It is left to the film’s second part, Konkona Sen Sharma’s The Mirror, to turn on the heat and help Lust Stories 2 put the drab kick-off behind it. What follows are three successive segments that are significantly steamier and more enticing.

The Mirror, which examines female erogeneity in a new light, sends the film into a tangled, twisted terrain as it examines carnal pleasure and its frequently puzzling manifestations.
Sen Sharma’s segment holds up a mirror to the inner worlds of two dissimilar women – successful and single professional Isheeta (Tillotama Shome) and her trusted all-purpose maid Seema (Amruta Subhash) – and probes the upshots of a piquant situation that arises when the former stumbles upon a startling scene when she returns from work one afternoon.

Isheeta is thrown off at first, unsure what to make of what she has inadvertently barged into. But she quickly begins to see what is before her eyes almost every day as an opportunity to liven up her dull, sexless life, if only by proxy.

Lust Stories 2

The script by Pooja Tolani and Sen Sharma looks at the dynamics of female desire in two different physical spaces – the cramped tenement that Seema lives in with her husband Kamal (Shrikant Yadav) and two children and the high-end apartment that belongs to

Isheeta but of which the maid has a free run in the daytime. Powered by two magnetic performances from Shome and Subhash, The Mirror maps the deepest impulses of the two women as they are drawn into a vicarious ‘relationship’ that stimulates them beyond their imagination and unlocks an ineffable degree of sexual frisson.

Sujoy Ghosh’s Sex with Ex, starring Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma as a long-disappeared woman and her one-time husband and corporate honcho respectively, is a genre exercise that embraces both the coital and the confounding in its portrait of a relationship that ended abruptly in mysterious circumstances.

Employing a bright colour palette that lends the backdrop the feel of a dreamscape, the story is about Vijay Chauhan (Varma), a father of two boys, who is on his way to meet a clandestine squeeze when he is summoned back to the office for a board meeting.
He turn around but drives his vintage car into a tree to avoid hitting a cyclist.

Lust Stories 2 The search for a car mechanic leads Vijay into a town where he spots an enigmatic and seductive woman who has the face of his ex-wife Shanti (Bhatia) who vanished without a trace. But is she quite who he thinks she is?

A mean, tough-talking cop is not far from the scene, old habits (Vijay drinks coffee without milk, the lady tea with milk) have still not been forgotten and a befuddling brassiere size raises a question in the man’s mind. Even as the conundrums multiply, sparks fly between the two.

The lady advises the accidental visitor not to tarry. You should leave, she says repeatedly. The man does not heed the advice.

You owe me an explanation, he insists. The story leaves a strand or two unexplained but it is tantalising enough to hold one’s attention.

A high-wattage Tamannaah sizzles and glows; Vijay Varma absorbs the heat without melting and even generates some of his own.

The chemistry between the two actors enlivens the intriguing encounter between two people who at first flush appear to be from different planets.

Amit Ravindernath Sharma’s Tilchatta, provides a fitting end to a quartet that, after the flat and dreary domesticity of Made for Each Other, forays into themes of pride and revenge, suppressed longings, long buried secrets, corrosive jealousies, feudal oppression and desperate bids for freedom.

Scripted by Saurabh Chaudhary and the director, the pitch-dark Tilchatta is fronted by Kajol in the role of a powerless queen of a palace and a kingdom that has clearly seen better days. Kumud Mishra plays a feudal lord who rides roughshod over women, be they in his bed or elsewhere.

The two reside in a Rajasthan haveli, a toxic bubble that conceals many an unsavoury secret. In the drama about lacerations of heart and body, confinement and the desire for freedom provide the narrative crux. Three individuals, driven by ambition and a yearning for autonomy, plot to escape their fate.

Lust Stories 2

Devyani Singh (Kajol), treated like a doormat by Suraj Singh (Mishra), is determined to get her own back by sending her son Ankur (Zeeshan Nadaf) to England. She hires a new cleaning lady, Rekha (Anushka Kaushik). Inevitably, the lecherous Suraj Singh begins to lust for her. The harried queen resolves to make the most of the situation in her quest for freedom for herself and her son.

Kajol’s solid performance lends the story a meaty centre. Kumud Mishra is as impressively flawless – and effortless – as ever. The two younger actors, Anushka Kaushik and Zeeshan Nadaf, deserve special mention.

They are as good as anyone else in Lust Stories 2. From the pulpy and playful to the putrid and puckered, Lust Stories 2, pretty much like its predecessor, is a mixed bag. The storytelling isn’t always lusty. But when it is, there is enough zest in here for the occasional creases not to get in the way.

Faqs on Lust Stories 2

1) ‘Lust Stories 2’ movie review: A lacklustre anthology, with one stunner.Details?

Ans) I resisted rewatching Lust Stories (2018) before settling down to review its sequel. The original was like a prized poker hand of aces — dealt by the familiar quartet of Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee and Zoya Akhtar — and I did not want these card sharks influencing my judgment about the fresh bet. My efforts, it transpires, were in vain. The maiden anthology was just so good that it was impossible not to compare. Somehow, within their limited run-times, the filmmakers had managed to weave rich tapestries of lust and desire, insecurities and obsessive behaviour. There were performances that stung, with wit and humour to match.

Much of that is amiss in Lust Stories 2, which scores a dismal one out of four. Konkona Sen Sharma, who stamped her directorial authority with A Death in the Gunj (2016), turns in a layered, neatly judged short, exploring quintessential ‘Lust Story’ themes of class, space and female desire (as did Zoya Akhtar in her segment five years ago). The other films—by noted (male) directors R. Balki, Sujoy Ghosh and Amit Ravindernath Sharma—don’t pack the same wallop, none of these skilled craftsmen and keen social observers bringing to their shorts the sparkle and punch of their features.

Balki’s film, if anything, is strangely coy. Eligibles Arjun (Angad Bedi) and Veda (Mrunal Thakur) are about to close their match when the latter’s grandmother (Neena Gupta) butts in with a caveat. “Before buying a car you take a test drive,” she reasons. “Then before marriage, why no test drive?” Her contention is that couples who share great sexual chemistry lead fulfilling lives in the long run. As Arjun and Veda gladly fly off to put theory to practice, their parents are left red-faced. It goes from here to a parable about ‘eruptions’ on Mount Fuji, and the film begins to share its euphemistically embarrassed tone. Oddly, the casting of Neena Gupta as the gumptious granny doesn’t work here —she has played taboo-busting elderly women so often that somewhere the surprise of the conceit has worn off.

Sen Sharma’s film opens with an emblematic Mumbai image: clustered slums rimmed by looming high-rises. Occupying these two overlapping worlds are Isheeta (Tillotama Shome) and her maid, Seema (Amruta Subhash). One afternoon, Isheeta, a rich but lonely designer, walks in on Seema fornicating vigorously on her bed. The man is revealed to be Seema’s husband, who sneaks in at odd hours, and a strange game of seeing and unseeing unfurls between the trio. Working stealthily with images and sounds, with hints of Persona, Sen Sharma crafts a messy, mysterious tale (if a bit long in the tooth). It’s rare for Hindi films to examine voyeurism from a female lens, and even rarer to split that lens in two. Subhash can step up the wattage in any film, but it’s Shome, with her even and unrushed performance, who grounds it beautifully.

Vijay Varma driving down an empty road, chatting up multiple women on the phone. Less than two months since Dahaad, Sujoy Ghosh’s segment in Lust Stories 2 hits us with a recognizable image. The place that he lands up in though, after ramming his car into the trunk of a tree, is nothing like Rajasthan. It looks unmistakably like a soundstage, with houses and trees resembling figures on pop-up greeting cards. Here, Vijay, playing a man named Vijay, encounters Shanti (Tamannaah Bhatia), his ex-wife who had disappeared ten years ago. Ghosh appears to have received the wrong memo, directing an addled, rudimentary thriller that will better slot into a different Netflix franchise entirely (hint: it also has ‘Stories’ in its title). Apparently, Tamannaah and Varma paired off on the sets of this film, so it wasn’t all in vain.

Coming in at the end, Amit Sharma’s film is constructed like a dark fairy tale, spurning the comedy of his 2018 hit Badhaai Ho. In a serene temple town in central India, Chanda (Kajol) lives a sad, suffocating life. She wants to bundle her son off to England for higher studies, an idea that’s anathema to her abusive, caste-and-royalty-obsessed husband (Kumud Mishra). When a new maid enters this household, he starts leching after her, but is Chanda as muted and acquiescent as she appears? Despite Kajol’s best efforts, with those eyes that can suggest a world, the film doesn’t quite add up, neither logically nor emotionally. It’s also troubling how Sharma and writer Saurabh Choudhary decide to wrap things up in the end.

Anthologies have a place in a vibrant film culture like ours. Nevertheless, I wish producer Ashi Dua would go easy on them once in a while, or come up with something genuinely novel and unexpected. You can tune into this one for the Konkona segment. The rest are lost stories.

2) What is the Plot of Lust stories 2?

Ans) Lust Stories 2 begins with Balki’s approx 25 minutes long film headlined by Mrunal Thakur, Angad Bedi and Neena Gupta, where the latter advocates the need for sexual compatibility for a successful marriage. This is followed by Konkona’s short featuring Tillotama Shome and Amruta Subhash. Set in the Maximum City, this one largely focuses on desire, fantasy, and what one does to fulfill it. The third movie in the anthology is directed by Sujoy Ghosh, who has beautifully marinated thriller with the theme of lust, with an unfaithful character at the helm of it. Amit’s a-little-more-than-30 minutes portion of Lust Stories 2 stars Kajol and Kumud Mishra. It narrates the story of Devyani Singh, her destiny and why the latter despite all the efforts is still the ultimate truth. What’s in your destiny will happen.

3) What’s Hot & the best part of Lust Stories 2?

Ans) The biggest strength of Lust Stories 2 is the variety of genres that it explores in the approx 2 hour 5 minutes run time. While Balki has treated the subject with humor, Konkona is exploring the dark side of it in her Tillotama and Amruta led film. Sujoy doesn’t disappoint his fans who would expect thriller in his portion of the film, while Amit combines that with suspense and intense emotions that really leaves you shocked by the end of it. The anthology truly climaxes with a cinematic orgasm, and much of the credit for that goes to Amit and Sujoy’s sections of the movie.

What I appreciate in the last two shorts is the use of lust as the core ingredient but not just sticking to it, and elevating the narrative by combining this central theme with other aspects like loyalty, passion, aspiration, greed and treachery. Furthermore, the background music across the four shorts lend able support to the stories, while the setting in Amit and Sujoy’s films were the hero ingredients. Much credit for that should go to the DOPs and production designers. The run time is apt too, and at no point does any of the films seem stretched or pompous.

4) What’s Not Good in Lust Stories 2?

Ans) While Sujoy and Amit’s films go beyond the theme of lust, Balki and Konkona’s shorts seem limited in imagination. They are more anecdotal than stories. For instance, I was hoping that Balki’s directorial in Lust Stories 2 would go a little beyond the theme of ‘sexual compatibility in marriage’ but it stays restricted to that throughout.

Ditto for Konkona’s story. Besides being anecdotal, I couldn’t connect to the climax too as it seemed was drafted just for effect and reaction. When that clearly comes across is when it doesn’t work. Even the addition of Mrunal Thakur’s english lines while conversing with her onscreen grandmother (Neena Gupta) seemed forced. Maybe the intention was to showcase a modern family, but for some reason it doesn’t come through and seems largely awkward.

5) How are Performances of Lust Stories 2?

Ans) Every actor has played their to the T. Neena Gupta is the star of Balki’s portion of Lust Stories 2, and pulls off her character with grace. Angad Bedi and Mrunal Thakur deliver a pleasant performance, while Tillotama Shome and Amruta Subhash get into the skin of the character. Amruta in particular really shines in her part.

I wonder why no one cast Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma together earlier, as they not only make a good onscreen pair but they also emote their individual parts so well. Lastly, both Kajol and Kumud Mishra ace their performance in the anthology. Look out for an array of emotions that Kajol portrays by the end of the film, and how it shifts with every change in the scenario. It says so much about her acting prowess.

6) Tamannaah Bhatia, Vijay Varma reveal if they’ve ever had sex on a first date.Details ?

Ans) Tamannaah Bhatia has said that she has never had sex on a first date while Vijay Varma believes he “must have”. The actors are gearing up for the release of their new project – Lust Stories 2. Tamannaah and Vijay will be seen onscreen together for the first time in Sujoy Ghosh’s short for the Netflix anthology that releases online on June 29.
Tamannaah and Vijay have been together for some time and they recently confirmed dating each other. The confirmation came around the time they kickstarted promotional tours and interviews for Lust Stories 2. The anthology also features short films by Konkona Sen Sharma, R Balki and Amit Ravindernath Sharma.

Sex on first date

Asked if she ever sat through a bad date, Tamannaah told News18 that she did and she also responded to whether she ever had sex on a first date. She said she never had sex on a first date, while Vijay told the news channel, “I must have.” Director Sujoy replied to the question saying, “Not that lucky,” leaving everyone in splits.

‘Test drive’ before marriage

Vijay asked if he had sex on the second date and Sujoy told him, “I come from a pretty average middle-class family, I have to fight for everything. Nothing comes easy for me.” During the interview, the team was also asked if they believed in Neena Gupta’s dialogue from Lust Stories – ‘Shaadi se pehle test drive to karna chahiye (One should get a test drive before marriage)’. Vijay Varma quickly said that he believes in everything that Neena says, and Tamannaah called it a good call to follow all that Neena says as she “knows it all”.

Lust Stories 2

Lust Stories 2 also features Kajol, Mrunal Thakur, Angad Bedi, Amruta Shubhash, Tillotama Shome and Kumud Mishra, apart from Neena, Tamannaah and Vijay. It is produced by RSVP and Flying Unicorn Ent and is a collection of films that view relationships from the female perspective.

Microsoft Xbox Series S

HIGHLIGHTS

* The Xbox Series S originally debuted with 512GB storage.
* The new 1TB Xbox Series S will be available in a new Carbon Black colour.
* Xbox Series S supports up to 120fps gameplay, Quick Resume, and lightning-fast load times.

Microsoft’s annual events Xbox Showcase and Xbox Games Showcase were held just a couple of weeks ago.
These events were packed with announcements for Xbox fans around the world.
One key announcement at the event was a new Xbox Series S console variant that comes with 1TB of storage space.

Microsoft is bringing the Xbox Series S 1TB black model to India in the first wave at the same time as global markets.

Microsoft Xbox Series S

The Xbox Series S with upgraded storage and new paintjob will cost Rs 38,990 and go on sale starting from September 1, the console’s dedicated product listing page has confirmed. Globally, the model will retail for $349 which roughly translates to about Rs 28,800.

The Xbox Series S was originally launched in white with 512GB of base storage at a price of Rs 34,990. Microsoft markets the Series S as an affordable console offering close-to Xbox Series X power at a budget pricing thanks to a lack of disk drive and a few other core hardware changes.

But the console has been held back somewhat due to its puny internal storage of which only 364GB is available to use right out of the gate. It doesn’t help that the console only supports proprietary storage cards for expansion which are naturally expensive.

Microsoft Xbox Series S

More storage, as such, is highly appreciated not only from a short-term point of view but also from a longevity and future-proofing perspective.

Aside from the colour swap and more storage, the rest of the hardware remains unchanged which is to say that the console is based on the same 8-core AMD Zen 2 CPU as the Series X.

This is paired with an AMD RDNA 2 GPU, same as the Series X. The major differences are that the CPU in the Series S is clocked at 3.6GHz (this is 3.8GHz in the Series X) and the GPU comes with 20 compute units clocked at 1.563GHz delivering 4 TFLOPS (this is 52 CUs @1.825GHz for 12 TFLOPS in the Series X).

The Series S has 10GB RAM @224GB/s with 8GB available to games (this is 16GB @560GB/s with 13.5GB available to games in the Series X).

Microsoft Xbox Series S

But despite its dialled down approach, the Xbox Series S can pull off nearly every trick out the Series X’s textbook including variable rate shading, variable refresh rate (up to 120Hz), hardware accelerated ray tracing, ultra-low latency, Quick Resume, and Smart Delivery.

Speaking on the announcement, Bree Adams, Senior Marketing Manager, Xbox, said:
Xbox is for everyone who loves games. You can play any game on any device you want. Some gamers told us they wanted more space to store their games.

So we made a new Carbon Black Series S with 1TB of space. You can get this new Xbox if you want to change your old one or if you are new to Xbox. It is another choice for you in the Xbox family.

If you are planning to grab this console in India, we finally have official details regarding the pricing and launch date.

The Xbox Series S 1TB price has been set at Rs 38,990 (ERP) in India.

As expected, the special edition earbuds will have the signature BMW M Motorsport look.

These earbuds are shown in White colour along with Red, Black, and Blue strips in the centre. These three colours represent the BMW M Motorsport brand, and that’s how one can differentiate between the special edition and standard variant.

If you are an avid follower of the tech and gadgets space, you must have heard about the new ambition of Android OEMs. It is to launch the world’s first smartphone with an insane 24GB RAM.

Nubia’s RedMagic is one of those brands and is well en route to claiming that title next week. But in order to keep the hype train going, it has released Red Magic 8S Pro official renders revealing the design and colours.

The upcoming smartphone has also been spotted on AnTuTu with unprecedented scores.

RedMagic used its official Weibo account to share RedMagic 8S Pro official renders ahead of the launch. These renders reveal that the much-awaited and hyped 24GB RAM smartphone will arrive in Black and Silver colours.
In terms of design, it is very much identical to the Red Magic 8 Pro which is not a surprise.

It continues with the flat frame design that gives it a boxy look. You do not see any punch-hole or notch on the front which confirms it will have an under-display front camera.

There are shoulder triggers for an improved gaming experience and a Game Mode toggle. The latter will also double up as an alert slider. The phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top and a USB Type-C port at the bottom.

The RedMagic 8S Pro will primarily have two design choices, one with RGB lighting on the back for the cooling fan and one without it. These choices are available in both Black and Silver colours.

However, the company has a special transparent edition as well which is shown only in Black. This edition has a transparent design only in the upper half.

Additionally, you can see RedMagic, Ice Cool System, Touch to Shoot, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 branding on the back.

RedMagic 8S Pro AnTuTu Score

In a separate report, the RedMagic 8S Pro has been spotted on the AnTuTu benchmarking website. The alleged listing shows the gaming smartphone scored an impressive and never-seen-before 17,04,020 in the test.

This is way more than the 13,63,206 scored by iQOO Neo 8 Pro last month. The specific scores were 4,54,470 in the CPU test, 6,42,562 in the GPU test, 3,18,386 in the memory test, and 2,88,602 in the UX test.

The listing mentions it is the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant of the phone that was used for the test. It was powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor clocked at 3.36GHz.

This is in line with what we have heard previously about the RedMagic 8S Pro specifications. The smartphone will launch on July 5 which is exactly a week away.

The Red Magic 8S Pro is arriving next week, and the phone will have almost the same specifications as its predecessor, the key difference being a more powerful Cortex-X3 CPU core.
Today, nubia posted official renders of the device, and just as we expected, it will look the same.

There are some minor differences in the writing on the back and how the 20,000 RPM cooling fan is depicted. Still, none of those are functional improvements, just a neat way of differentiating the newer device from its non-S sibling.

After a detailed inspection of the renders, we can see one so-called transparent version that is likely to have RGB light for the fan and the Red Magic logo.
The Silver and Black options are pictured in two variants – with and without an RGB circle over the fan, which could act as a notification light but is likely to cost a bit more.

All other design elements are hardly a surprise – flat sides, an under-display selfie camera, a USB-C port on the bottom and a 3.5 mm audio jack on the top.

There is a toggle for Game Mode (that effectively acts as an alert slider) and two touch-sensitive buttons on the shoulders for hardcore gaming. The cameras are aligned vertically with no fancy island whatsoever, and the single LED flash is above the lenses.

The launch is in exactly one week, and we expect to learn more details in the days leading up to the event.

The ZTE-owned brand launched the Red Magic 8 Pro with a CNY3,999 (about $550) price tag that was later increased to CNY4,199 ($580), and we have to wait and see whether the 8S Pro will cost the same.

The phone is also said to pack a beefy 5000mAh battery.
It will offer support for 80W fast charging out of the box.
The Nord CE 3 5G is also tipped to sport a tall 6.7-inch Fluid AMOLED display.

The screen will remain flat and offer up to 950 nits of brightness.
 Additionally, there will be support for a 120Hz refresh rate as well. 
Sharma also revealed the camera specifications of the Nord CE 3 5G.
The tipster claims that the phone will feature a triple-camera setup on the back.
There will be a 50MP Sony IMX890 main camera with support for optical image stabilisation (OIS).

The same sensor is used in the flagship OnePlus 11. However, the camera performance will likely not be similar due to different tuning, including the Hasselblad touch in the OnePlus 11, along with some hardware differences such as an image signal processor, also known as ISP.
 The Nord CE 3 will also feature an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 112-degree field of view and a 2MP macro sensor.

The rear camera is tipped to support 4K 30fps video recording. 
The device will feature an IR blaster, X-axis linear motor, NFC support, etc.
However, there will not be an alert slider, which has been found in many premium OnePlus phones.
The Nord CE 3 will also feature a plastic frame. It will launch in two colours, according to Sharma, which will be called Aqua Surge and Grey Shimmer.

Lastly, the phone will boot OxygenOS 13.1 out of the box and will get two major Android updates along with security updates for three years.

Xiaomi is expected to introduce the successor of the last year’s Redmi Pad – the Redmi Pad 2 in the coming months. The upcoming Redmi tablet recently acquired Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification.
In a new development, we have spotted the Redmi Pad 2 with the model number 23073RPBFC on the Geekbench benchmark database.

This is the same processor that we have seen on the Oppo Pad Air. Last year’s Redmi Pad was powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 processor. So, the inclusion of Snapdragon 680 on the upcoming Redmi tablet seems like a downgrade.

The Redmi Pad 2, as per the Geekbench listing, will come pre-loaded with Android 13. It will feature 4GB of memory.

Previously FCC listing had revealed that the Redmi Pad 2 will come in three memory-storage configurations – 4GB + 64GB, 4GB + 128GB, and 6GB + 128GB.

Faqs on Redmi Pad 2

1) Redmi Pad 2 Specifications Leak, Tipped to Feature 8,000mAh Battery, 2K LCD Display.Details?

Ans) Redmi Pad 2 is reportedly in the works and could make its debut later this year as the successor to last year’s Redmi Pad. The company is yet to announce any details of the purported Redmi Pad 2, but its specifications have recently been leaked by a tipster on Weibo. These include the purported tablet’s display and camera specifications.

It is also tipped to be powered by a Snapdragon 680 SoC. Details of the tablet have previously surfaced online, suggesting similar specifications for the display and camera.
Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) has leaked a few specifications of the purported Redmi Pad 2 via a Weibo post. The tablet could debut with an LCD display that is larger than 10 inches, with a 2K resolution and 90Hz refresh rate.

The tipster also suggests the Redmi Pad 2 will be powered by a Snapdragon 680 SoC and an 8,000mAh battery.

Additionally, the tipster also leaked the camera details of the purported Redmi tablet which point to an 8-megapixel main rear sensor and a 5-megapixel front camera sensor on the Redmi Pad 2. It could run Android 13 out-of-the-box, with the company’s MIUI 14 skin running on top.

Previously also, the Redmi Pad 2 specifications were leaked and the new report supports them. The previous leak too has suggested the same camera specifications and the processor name. The tablet was tipped to sport a 10.95-inch (1,200 x 1,920 pixels) LCD display.

Redmi Pad 2 is expected to debut as a successor to the Redmi Pad which was launched last year in October. The tablet sports a 10.61-inch (2,000×1,200 pixels) display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Powering the tablet is a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC, coupled with up to 6GB of RAM.

2) Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 to launch globally with MIUI 14 and up to 6 GB of RAM.Details?

Ans) The FCC has certified the Redmi Pad 2, signalling its impending global release.
Documents confirm that Xiaomi has created three memory variants, topping out at 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.
The Redmi Pad 2 is also expected to contain the Snapdragon 680 chipset, among other features.

The Redmi Pad 2 has appeared at another regulatory agency, following the unreleased tablet turning up at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in May.

Now, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has certified the tablet for sale in the US as 23073RPBFL, a slightly different model number than 23073RPBFG that passed through the EEC. Either way, the tablet’s arrival at the FCC implies that Xiaomi is planning a global launch.

The FCC’s publication of initial certification documents also comes a month after Kacper Skrzypek shared various Redmi Pad 2 specifications, including the usage of a Snapdragon 680 chipset.

According to the FCC listing, Xiaomi has created the Redmi Pad 2 in three memory configurations, starting with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Alternatively, there will be 128 GB variants with 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM; for reference, the Redmi Pad features a MicroSD card reader, which we imagine that its successor will retain.

While it remains to be seen whether Xiaomi will release all memory variants, it tends to streamline its lineup outside China. For example, Xiaomi only sells the Redmi Pad with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage in the UK.

Additionally, the FCC reveals that the Redmi Pad 2 supports Wi-Fi 5 and runs MIUI 14, likely the Android 13 variant. With the Redmi Pad 2 racking up an increasing number of certifications, it would seem that Xiaomi will unveil the tablet soon. Unfortunately, Xiaomi has not officially teased a Redmi Pad successor yet.

The phone is also said to be equipped with two front cameras.
The cover screen is expected to house a 32-megapixel front camera sensor, while the inner panel is likely to sport a 20-megapixel sensor.

2) How is the battery of the One Plus V Fold?

3) What are the security features of OnePlus V Fold?

4) What are the leaked features & specifications of OnePlus V Fold ?

Ans) OnePlus foldable will be packing some strong specs.
That includes a 7.8-inch inner display that’s at 2K resolution and hitting a 120Hz refresh rate.
That’s bigger than both the Pixel Fold and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.
The outer display, meanwhile, is a 6.3-inch 120Hz panel, but the aspect ratios of either display are not mentioned.
Beyond that, there’s mention of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 under the hood, which comes as no surprise given its placement in the OnePlus 11.

The OnePlus foldable may also pack 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which would certainly make it a flagship offering. A 4,800 mAh battery would provide power with 67W charging over USB-C.

That’s slower than the OnePlus 11, but much faster than Google’s and Samsung’s foldables.
Android 13 with OxygenOS is on board too.
The report also details camera specs, which include a 48MP primary camera, 48MP ultrawide camera, and a 64MP camera with a telephoto lens, but it’s unclear what optical zoom level will be available.

OnePlus 11 has a mere 2x telephoto lens. 32MP and 20MP selfie cameras cut holes in the outer and inner displays, respectively.
OnePlus has confirmed that its first foldable will launch in Q3, with rumors pointing toward August.
Preview renders of the device show a design with a huge circular camera bump and a reasonably wide outer display.
