Image
Realme Narzo 10 has just been announced in India and sits between the Realme C and the current crop of Realme 6 series. It goes up against the likes of the Redmi Note 9 Pro with a build quality that’s inspired by the Realme X Master Edition. The phone has been priced very competitively in the Indian market and as such, it can get a bit confusing if you’re looking to purchase a mid-range phone for yourself. So, we thought of taking a brief look at the specifications of the Realme Narzo 10 in comparison with the Redmi Note 9 Pro and its distant cousin, Realme 6. Here’s how the Narzo 10 fares in this specification-based comparison. Realme Narzo 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro vs Realme 6: Pricing Realme Narzo 10 is priced at Rs 11,999 for the single variant with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Apple may be considering moving as much as a fifth of its manufacturing capabilities out of China and straight into India. The report comes via Economic Times which reports that Senior Apple Executives have been in talks with senior Government officials to chalk out a plan for the expansion. The plan, however, has not yet been executed as there is a lot of work that remains to be done. According to the report, Apple will be seeking to scale up its production through its contract manufacturers, Foxconn and Wistron to roughly $40 billion worth of smartphones. However, Apple would only need to produce $10 billion worth of smartphones in India in order to reap the benefits of the production-linked incentive program that is being rolled out by the Indian Government. Currently, Apple manufacturers only $0.5 billion worth of iPhones in India, while factories in China produce $220 billion worth of products. The current government has been strongly pushing for indigenous smartphone productio

After the success of Doom Eternal, the creators of the game have announced the first wave of DLC content for the shooter. A couple of screenshots is all we’ve got at this point but they do look rather cool with its dark aesthetic and future-gothic look. The DLC is included in the Year One Pass and no release date has been announced for the DLC content as yet. In an official statement on the website, Associate Content Manager, Bethesda, Parker Wilhelm said, “The community of longtime fans and newcomers alike wowed us once again with their overwhelming support and impressive demon-slaying skills. Things are only heating up, however, as Update 1 is almost here to bring a ton of features, fixes and enhancements to the game! As explained on the blog post, the DLC will also add ‘empowered demons’. These demons are essentially beefed-up versions of the in-game counterparts who’ve killed another player in their single-player campaign and are now coming for your soul. If you manage to defeat

Google announced that Google Duo, the company’s video chat app will now allow users to make group video calls on the web. You will need a Google account to access this feature but who doesn’t have a Google account, these days. The feature will be rolling out on Chrome in a few weeks as a preview. The app will also feature a ‘family mode’. This mode will allow users to draw on the screen and adds masks and effects in real-time as well. You can access this mode if you’re signed in to your Google account while using Duo. The app will also hide the mute button as well as the hang-up button so that you can draw and have fun without accidentally cancelling the call on Duo.  When using the app on a one-on-one call, the effects and masks will be made available to you then. This feature will be available on both Android and iOS. Just last month, Google increased the limit for group calls to 12 members from the 8 it previously allowed. In a blog post, Product Manager Humberto Castaneda said,  “

Microsoft launches the Bing wallpaper app for Android

Image
It looks like Microsoft has just rolled out a Bing wallpapers app. The app essentially features backgrounds and wallpapers that will change each day. At first glance, some of the wallpapers that have been featured look beautiful. Users can browse through a ton of images on the app but the great thing about the app is that you don’t need to manually change the images as the app will change images all by itself each day. Users will have to manually allow the app to change images daily. They will also have to grant the app the ability to update images using mobile data as well.  The app also has information about the images used, giving users a deeper look at where the image was taken and more. This helps users learn something new every day using a fun and innovative method. As of now, the app is free and can be downloaded from the Google store. If you aren’t able to access the Google Play Store, you can download the app from APK Mirror, here. As we’ve said, the app is free and has no ad

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and Ryzen 3 3100 India price revealed

AMD India has finally revealed the pricing of the Ryzen 3 3100 and the Ryzen 3 3300X processors. The Ryzen 3 3100 is priced at Rs 7290 (excluding GST) and the Ryzen 3 3300X priced at Rs 9490 (exclusive GST). The exact availability of the processors has still not been disclosed, perhaps due to the uncertainty surrounding the lockdown brought on by the Coronavirus outbreak. AMD had revealed the new Ryzen 3 series processors a few weeks ago, alongside their U.S. pricing, which was extremely lucrative. The Ryzen 3 3100 was priced at $99 while the Ryzen 3 3300X priced at $120. This means that the India pricing for the two chips is only a hair higher than their American counterpart, with GST being what makes the price gap slightly larger. Taking into account that the Rupee has fallen notably in comparison to the dollar over the last few months, the new Ryzen processors still seem to be going tight on the margins. Both the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and the Ryzen 3 3300X feature the Zen 2 architectur
