Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite microsite live on Flipkart

I looks like Samsung is already preparing to launch it’s new Galaxy S10 Lite in India soon. Online retailer, Flipkart has created a microsite for the smartphone in its website. The microsite showcases all the different features of the smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S10 features a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED Plus Infinity-O display. The smartphone is available with 6GB RAM or 8GB RAM, along with 128GB of onboard storage that can be expanded by up to 1TB. The device runs on OneUI 2.0, which is based on Android 10.

In terms of optics, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite sports a triple rear camera setup: a 48MP lens with f/2.0  aperture and OIS + a 12MP Ultra Wide sensor with f/2.2 aperture + a 5MP macro camera with f/2.0 aperture. On the front lies a 32MP selfie shooter. Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor. It packs a 4500mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging. The device weighs 186 grams.

One of the more interesting points to note is that the phone is tipped to come with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and not and an Exynos chipset. Samsung usually offers an Exynos chipset in its flagship series of device in India, which the Qualcomm chipsets are usually limited to the US market.

It should also be noted that the microsite for the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite on Flipkart does not mention the price. It should be noted that the microsite for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is not live, which seems to suggest that this phone may not launch alongside the Galaxy S10 Lite. However, that is purely speculation and we should wait for an official confirmation from the company to know more. Samsung is expected to showcase both the devices at CES 2020.

Netflix has just released a list of the most popular films and shows of the year

Well, it looks like Netflix has released its list of the most popular content on the streaming platform and barring a few notables here and there, the top spot went to a film that has many scratching their heads. Apparently, Murder Mystery is Netflix’s most popular film in 2019! Starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, the film sits pretty at the top of the heap as Netflix’s most popular film of 2019. 

This info does come with a caveat though, as Netflix checks its counts as the amount of people who have watched at least two minutes of a show or film within its first 28 days of release. There are no numbers for how many people actually watched the entire film as of yet. It’s no secret that Netflix does not release numbers for any of its shows so do take this with a grain of salt.

Segway plans on introducing a self-balancing electric vehicle that looks like a chair at CES 2020

If you watched films like the X-Men and even Wall-E then Segway’s latest product will make a little sense to you. Dubbed the S-Pod, the drivable chair actually does look like a rather comfortable transport experience. The company and its owner, Ninebot will show off the new EV at CES 2020. With a top speed of 40kms an hour, you can be rest assured that this thing is really fast. It weighs in at about 150Kgs, which isn’t too heavy for something like this. 

If you’re wondering what the S-Pod’s battery consumption looks like, it is able to travel about 70Kms on a single charge. Apparently, driving the S-Pod is much easier because the EV comes equipped with a sort of gyroscope, which balances out the S-Pod when it is motion. The company says that it was inspired by the gyrosphere from the Jurassic World films but we think that it more closely resembles the chairs used by the overweight humans in Wall-E. Which is another thing to think about. Will something like this eventually take over walking? Maybe not in the near future, but who knows that the world will look like in 30 years time. 

In an exclusive with The Verge, Segway says that they plan to release the first batch of S-Pods in the third quarter of 2020 but will only be available to the public sometime in 2021. As of right now, there is no word on how much these S-Pods will cost.

Nokia could be releasing an original phone on January 25

Nokia seems to be in a bit of hot water after the delay of the Nokia 9.2 PureView. The phone is rumored to be launched much later, this year. But while the release of the device has been delayed, the company may be looking at launching a new ‘Originals’ device, sometime this month. 

Just yesterday, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global (parent company of Nokia), Juho Sarvikas tweeted out an image of a pair of Adidas Originals. Why is this important? Well, the caption to the tweet may hold a few more answers. In the caption, he says, “This is the 4th year I buy new shoes in anticipation of CES and MWC and it looks like this will be the best year yet! Found this stunning pair of limited edition Adidas Originals. This can only mean that we should launch a new Nokia Original, @nokiamobile #ChineseNewYear”. The cheeky tweet draws parallels between the Adidas Originals and Nokia’s Originals. This could mean that Nokia may release one of their older phones, in a revamped avatar. Just like they’ve done before. 

This is the 4th year I buy new shoes in anticipation of #CES and #MWC and it looks like this will be the best year yet! Found this stunning pair of limited edition #adidas #originals. This can only mean that we should launch a new #nokia #original @nokiamobile #ChineseNewYear pic.twitter.com/JJmizUg3ke

Juho also added the Chinese New Year hashtag. The Asian festival falls on the 25th of January and that is the date we could be seeing one of Nokia’s Original phones to be making an appearance. As of now, there is no official word on what exactly the Nokia original will look like but stay tuned to Digit as we will definitely be following up on this story.

PUBG Mobile is giving select people the chance to try out new features of the game before anyone else. The developers are inviting players to sign up and become beta testers for the game. Those interested can head over to this link and fill out a survey. “Wanna get an opportunity to try the new content before anyone else and provide your feedback to the team? Come and apply to be a part of the PUBG Mobile Beta Testing Group!” the developers note in the Twitter post.

 

Wanna get an opportunity to try the new content before anyone else and provide your feedback to the team? Come and apply to be a part of the PUBG Mobile Beta Testing Group! Fill out the survey below for a chance to get selected: https://t.co/G7Mvh2u6pG pic.twitter.com/m9DkQ0wa3V

— PUBG MOBILE (@PUBGMOBILE) January 3, 2020

 

The requirements for filling in the survey are pretty simple. Participants will have to agree to all terms and conditions and must be older than 14. They will then be directed to answer questions with regards to their experience. This includes current account level, highest rank, user ID and more. Players who are selected will be contacted by the PUBG Mobile team via email.

If selected, players will get to try out new features of the game and provide their valuable insights to the developers before the features are rolled out to the general populace. However, players should also understand that as a beta tester, they will be expected to provide feedback on a regular basis. 

Of course, players could also simply download the Beta version of the game to their Android devices. But this version of the game is no longer available from the play store and players interested in playing this version would have to side load the game.

Apple could launch not one but two iPhone SE 2 models in 2020: Report

That Apple has started focussing on making more affordable iPhone models became abundantly clear when it suffixed the costlier iPhone model with a ‘Pro’ badge back in September last year. It only stands to reason then that when a report claiming Apple could launch not one but two iPhone SE 2 models this year crops up, we think there's some truth to it. According to Taiwanese media company DigiTimes, Apple could launch as many as six iPhones in 2020, two of which are expected to succeed the iPhone SE.

According to the report, sources from Taiwan's handset supply chain say, “Apple is likely to launch as many as six iPhone devices in 2020”. Four out of the six devices will sport an OLED screen, while the remaining two will feature an LCD screen. “This new member will be an upgraded version of the widely speculated ‌iPhone‌ SE2 featuring a 5.5- or 6.1-inch LCD display and available at the end of 2020 or in earlier 2021, said the sources,” cites MacRumors in its report. Taiwanese backend LCD driver IC packaging company Chipbond Technology has reportedly received a COF packaging order for both LCD-screen models.

Popular Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes the successor to the iPhone SE will greatly resemble the iPhone 8 and that a ‘Plus’ version of the same will arrive in 2021. The iPhone SE 2, if that's what Apple chooses to call it, could sport a 4.7-inch display with noticeable bezels all around and a Touch ID-enabled home button near the chin. It will most likely continue to sport the iPhone 8's single rear camera setup but get a processor upgrade to Apple's A13 chip along with 3GB of RAM. The iPhone 8 is currently on sale in India with 64GB of storage space for Rs 36,999.

Launched in early 2016 and reportedly discontinued in July 2019, the Apple iPhone SE was essentially a repackaged iPhone 5s with upgraded internals. Apple launched this model as an affordable iPhone as there was still a considerable demand for the iPhone 5/5s’ compact 4-inch screen. The iPhone SE was powered by Apple's A9 chip with 2GB of RAM. Internal storage ranged from 16GB to 64GB. Sold in Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold colour options, the iPhone SE was home to a relatively tiny 1624mAh battery.
