Realme 5 Pro gets Rs 1,000 price cut, now starts at Rs 12,999

If you have been quietly eyeing the Realme 5 Pro but haven't hit the ‘Add to Cart’ button yet, you’ll be glad to know that Realme has slashed the price of the handset by Rs 1,000. The Realme 5 Pro now starts at Rs 12,999 for the base variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage and goes all the way up to Rs 15,999 for the top-end variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The mid variant with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage in between costs Rs 13,999. You can get the Realme 5 Pro at the new discounted price on Flipkart and Realme.com.

The Realme 5 Pro is available in two colour options: Sparkling Blue and Crystal Green. Luckily, both are available at the same discounted price. Nokia, on the other hand, tends to charge more for some of its special colourways. For example, the Cyan Green option on the similarly priced Nokia 7.2 was costlier than the Charcoal option during Nokia’s Christmastime price cut. Earlier this week, the price of the Nokia 7.2 was slashed further, to Rs 14,872. You can read more about that here.

Realme launched the Realme 5 Pro in India in early September 2019 at a starting price of Rs 13,999. Since then, the handset has been receiving software updates regularly. One of the most significant updates came a couple of months ago with the latest November 2019 security patch. It also enabled the Realme 5 Pro to take brighter selfies in low-light settings through the new Nightscape mode. In addition, it fixed a lot of issues on the Realme 5 Pro’s Android 9 Pie-based ColorOS software. You can read more about that here.

The Realme 5 Pro is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 chip. Its screen measures 6.3 inches and has a maximum resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The back panel of the handset is home to a quad camera setup. There’s a primary wide-angle 48MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, a 2MP macro sensor with an f/2.4 aperture, and a 2MP depth sensor with the same f/2.4 aperture. On the front, there’s a single 16MP wide-angle camera with an f/2.0 aperture.

Apple reports record earnings for first quarter, iPhone still its highest earner

Apple just got done with its earnings call for the quarter, ending on December 2018, declaring it to be a record-setting quarter. The company reported a quarterly revenue of $91.8 billion, a 9 percent gain over the same quarter from last year. According to Apple, 61 percent of the quarter’s revenue came from international markets.

A closer look at the revenue numbers from Apple’s earnings report sheds light on some very interesting revelations. For example, while Apple says that 61 percent of the revenue came from markets outside of the U.S, almost 60 percent of the revenue was generated by the iPhone alone. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the strong demand for the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro during the holiday season was a strong contributor to the company’s record-setting growth. For perspective, of the $91.8 billion revenue, $55.9 billion was generated by iPhone sales, alone. The numbers are for net sales, meaning that any returns and discounts offered have been deducted from the final figure. The Services wing generated $12.715 billion in revenue, taking the second spot in the revenue tally. The wearables category also showed strong growth, earning Apple $10 billion in revenue, a marked improvement over the $7.3 billion from the same quarter the year before. What is surprising is that the revenue from the Mac and iPad dropped in comparison to the same quarter the year before. However, in comparison to the quarter ending September, both Mac and iPad sales did pick up, most likely owing to the general uptake in sales during the holiday season.

2019 saw Apple launch notable new products like the Apple iPhone 11 Pro (review) and the iPhone 11 (review) alongside the long-awaited 16-inch MacBook Pro. The company also announced an all-new MacPro with some serious hardware inside. There are many rumors about what’s coming from Cupertino in the coming months, but for now, it's just better to wait and watch rather than get prematurely excited.

Motorola Edge+ spotted on Geekbench, may feature Snapdragon 865 SoC, 12GB RAM

Motorola is rumoured to be working on a flagship smartphone that could be called Motorola Edge+. The device is expected to be launched at an event on February 23 during MWC 2020. The phone name was first tipped by tipster Evan Blass. He claimed that Motorola Edge+ could be launched by the company on Verizon in the US and it will carry a hole-punch display design. Now, it has appeared on Geekbench listing. 

Upcoming Motorola flagship phone, Motorola Edge+ has appeared in the database of benchmark Geekbench. It scored 4106 in the single-core test and recorded a score of 12823 in the multi-core test. It is shown to be powered by an octa-core processor that has a base frequency of 1.80GHz. It is mentioned as “burton” in the motherboard field. Although that codename has appeared online for the first time, it is expected to be referring to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset.

Motorola Edge+ is likely to run Android 10. The Geekbench listing also revealed that the device could come with 12GB RAM. Other specifications of the smartphone are yet to be known. But we expect more details to show up online as we inch closer to the launch date. 

Motorola Edge+ is expected to come with a punch-hole display. However, there is no word on the position of the punch-hole. It could be on the top-left or top-right corner of the display. To recall, Motorola One Vision that was unveiled a few months ago was the first punch-hole display from the company. Moreover, the leaked Moto G8 renders show a punch-hole display as well.

For reference, Moto Z2 Force was the last flagship phone revealed by the company. It was launched way back in 2017. Moto Z3 and Moto Z4 did make it to the market but they featured non-flagship chipsets. Hence, Motorola Edge+ could mark the return of Motorola in the flagship arena.

Microsoft Windows 7 to get fix for wallpaper issue even after official end of support

In a move that one might consider overly benevolent, Microsoft has promised to send out a fix for an issue caused by its final software update on Windows 7 even though it officially ended support for the operating system on January 14. The company rolled out its final update for Windows 7 on the same day. The issue is expected to affect users who have set ‘Stretch’ as the preferred fit for their desktop wallpaper. Microsoft hasn’t announced a date for the rollout of its fix.

According to a report by The Verge, Microsoft initially promised to fix the wallpaper issue only for customers who had purchased the “Extended Security Update (ESU) for on-premises versions” of Windows 7. But its support page for the software update in question (KB4534310) now reads, “We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release, which will be released to all customers running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.” We’re not sure why Microsoft changed its mind.

According to the support page, installing the faulty update could cause the desktop wallpaper to appear black when the fit is set to ‘Stretch’. It’s a minor problem at most. Microsoft has not only promised to fix it in a future release but has also provided a couple of workarounds for those affected by it: “Set your custom image to an option other than Stretch, such as Fill, Fit, Tile, or Center.” The alternative solution is: “Choose a custom wallpaper that matches the resolution of your desktop.”

To change the desktop wallpaper or the fit on Windows 7, right-click in a blank space on the desktop and select Personalize. In the Control Panel window that opens, select Desktop Background. In the following screen, click on Picture position to pick a fit that’s not the problematic ‘Stretch’. Or click on Browse… to set a different image as your wallpaper. Given that Windows 7 is now deemed deprecated in Microsoft’s books, you might want to consider upgrading to Windows 10. To find out how you can go about doing that, click here.
