Samsung is tight-lipped on its upcoming next-generation device dubbed as the Galaxy Note 7, but several details, including release date and specifications, have been leaked ahead of its launch. It has now emerged that the company could be working on a new variant of its upcoming device.The South Korean technology giant is expected to launch the Galaxy Note 7 early next month. A teaser has claimed that Samsung is hosting an event at 11 a.m. EDT on Aug. 2 in New York, giving a hint that it’s “next big thing” could be released on the day.

Samsung has the tradition of releasing its flagships simultaneously in India, and it should be the case with its upcoming handset too. Now, a device with model number SM- N930R4, believed to be the Galaxy Note 7, has been spotted on Zauba, a website that tracks imports and exports in India, for testing. Interestingly, the device sports a 6-inch screen, contradicting earlier reports that it could have a 5.8-inch screen. This has thrown up a possibility of Samsung working on a new variant of the Galaxy Note 7 with a bigger display. It was earlier rumoured that the upcoming device could come in two variants, one with a flat display and the other with a curved screen.

It is reported that the Galaxy Note 7 will sport a 5.8-inch display with 2,560×1,440 pixels, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 823 processor, and run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. It is expected to come packed with a 64GB/128GB internal memory, a 10 nanometer 6GB RAM, and a 4,000mAh battery. There are also reports that the Galaxy Note 7 edge version will feature a dual camera.South Korean website ETNews has reported that Samsung will begin mass production of the flagship handset in July to meet its aim of manufacturing 5 million units for the initial supply.

Xiaomi Mi Max first impression: It’s the Wun Wun of smartphones

Xiaomi launched the company’s biggest smartphone to date, the Mi Max, in India on June 30.The device arrived to our office a couple of days ago, and we have been using it as a secondary phone since then. Here’s our initial impression on the mammoth Xiaomi phablet.The enormity of the metal-clad Mi Max’s size is such that there is not a single brand in the market to stand up against it in the mid-range phablet class. If we were to compare Xiaomi’s mammoth phone to any mythological character, it perfectly epitomises Wun Wun, the popular giant in the ‘Game of Thrones’ TV series. Its massive 6.44-inch screen makes the standard 5-inch smartphones look puny.

Mi Max looks very large to the eyes, but it does have a sleek body. It measures 7.5 mm in thickness, just10mm more than Apple’s iPhone 6S Plus. Anybody can wrap their hand around the phone’s edges, and it can easily slip into the pocket. But it’s not meant to be kept in the back pocket, since it gets really uncomfortable and can also get bent, despite featuring a metal-shell.
Xiaomi Mi Max First Impression: Screen size comparison- Xiaomi Mi Max (6.44-inch) v Redmi Note 3 (5.5-inch) v Sony Xperia X (5.0-inch)Rohit KVN/ IBTimes India

Performance:

The review unit we received comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 650 hexa-core processor having Adreno 510 GPU, 3GB RAM and 32GB inbuilt memory. It runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow-based MIUI v7.5.2.The device consistently delivered a fine performance in terms of loading of apps, multi-tasking, playing graphic-heavy video games and other tasks as well.

We will file the benchmarking test results in the full review, which we will be posted in the coming days.

Battery:

The company has incorporated a massive 4850mAh battery in the Mi Max. When we started using the device, it had 85 percent battery life. We put it to moderate use, and surfed the internet, read articles and played some videos on YouTube. On the third day, Mi Max still had got 29 percent battery life left.

Camera:

Xiaomi Mi Max houses the same camera hardware, as is seen in the company’s bestselling phablet Redmi Note 3. It features a 16MP primary camera and 5MP snapper on the front.

As expected, the Mi Max primary camera performs well in the open space in bright light conditions. But in a closed environment, there is no improvement despite the company claiming that the imaging hardware of Mi Max has been developed by a different engineering team.

Initial impression:

During our testing, we found Xiaomi Mi Max impressive in three key areas — build quality, display and battery.The 6.44-inch Mi Max, which comes with full HD (1920x1080p) resolution, offers rich media viewing experience. It is certain to attract youngsters who use smartphones as the primary device for entertainment.

There has been a sudden jolt for Jagan’s party in the crucial Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh. This comes at a time when YSRCP has been facing a lot of trouble over the defection of several of its ruling MLA’s for last few months. The latest can be deemed as severe.The party has lost 20 MLA’s so far in past couple of months which started with the high profile defection of Bhuma Nagi Reddy. The exodus to TDP is happening with an objective. Sources say that TDP has been focusing very much on Rayalseema to make sure that Jagan doesn’t gain here.

Now Mydukur MLA Raghurami Reddy has offered his resignation as MLA. The reason he has given is that he is very upset with no protocols being followed by the ruling Telugu Desam and accused TDP of insulting opposition MLA’s. This came as a surprise.
MLA Raghurami Reddy

Hence many say that this is only a resignation directed at showing his sense of frustration. But there are others who feel that this MLA was also expected to join TDP. But rather than doing this directly, he is now taking an indirect route by staying neutral for some time and then joining TDP!

Kajal’s New Look, Size Zero Gone Wrong?

Share

kajal

Here’s the latest look of one of the leading actresses down south Kajal Aggarwal in which she almost looks skinny and undernourished. Kajal’s new ‘size zero’ look from her presence during the ATA Celebrations took off the usual glowing charms on her face and made her look lifeless.

Kajal turned 31 recently and it is obviously not the age where one looks so dull. Looks like Kajal has troubled rather starved herself a little too much in order to get a slim and ravishing look, but unfortunately it seems to have backfired.Even though it is natural for anyone to look pale after a drastic weightloss, Kajal seems to have overdone it and it is only wise if she reworks on her new look and bring back a few kilos on her body.

Kajal has been ruling the hearts of millions of her fans for more than a decade. Even though the younger generation actresses have stormed past this Mumbai beauty, she still commands her position with a handful of big budget films in Telugu and Tamil industries.

Turkey moots cooperation with Russia in fighting IS

Share

turkey

Turkey has proposed cooperating with Moscow to combat the Islamic State (IS) in Syria, suggesting it could open its Incirlik Air Base to Russia — comments that highlighted a revival in ties strained by Turkey’s shooting down of a Russian warplane last year.Moscow pledged to rebuild relations after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last week expressed regret over the shooting down of the aircraft, with the loss of the pilot, near the Syrian frontier.

Moscow had broken off virtually all economic ties and banned tourists from visiting Turkish resorts.“We will cooperate with everyone who fights Daesh. We have been doing this for quite a while, and we opened Incirlik Air Base for those who want to join the active fight against Daesh,” Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview on state broadcaster TRT Haber on Sunday.

‘Why not cooperate with Russia?’

“Why not cooperate with Russia as well on these terms? Daesh is our common enemy, and we need to fight this enemy,” Mr. Cavusoglu said.While both Turkey and Russia recognise the threat of the IS, they are on opposing sides in the Syrian conflict, raising questions about the viability of Russian use of Incirlik.

Assad opponent

Turkey has been one of the most steadfast opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is backed by Russia and Iran.Turkey’s NATO partners may also be wary of Russian use of the base, which is located five miles north of the Turkish city of Adana near the Syrian border.Incirlik hosts aircraft of the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Qatar involved in the U.S.-led air campaign against the IS.

Malaysia’s police confirm IS link to nightclub grenade attack

Malaysian authorities on Monday confirmed that the Islamic State (IS) was responsible for a grenade attack on a nightspot last week, which is believed to be the first successful attempt in the country by the militant group.Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said two men have been arrested in connection to the attack, and that they received direct instructions from Muhammad Wanndy Mohamed Jedi, a known Malaysian IS fighter.

‘We are a threat to IS’

“The two of those arrested had received instructions from Muhammad Wanndy, who had commanded them to carry out attacks in Malaysia, on our government leaders, top police officials and judges. These three groups are considered as threatening to IS activities,” Mr. Abu Bakar said at a news conference. Police are hunting for two more people believed to have been directly involved in the nightclub attack, he added.Police had on June 28 ruled out terrorism as a motive for the pre-dawn attack, which took place as customers were watching a live screening of the Euro football tournament.

After IS claim on Facebook

Investigators initially said that a business rivalry, or a targeted attack on someone in the bar, were the more likely motives, but were forced to reassess their position a day later after an IS claim of responsibility was posted on Facebook.Mr. Abu Bakar said police also arrested 13 others, including two low-ranking police officers, in a counter-terrorism crackdown in the aftermath of the grenade attack. He said those detained during the crackdown had all received instructions to carry out attacks on top officials “and also entertainment centres, which they consider un-Islamic.”

All those detained, including the two linked directly to the attack, are Malaysians.
