As per the report, the Pixel 6 will support charging speeds of 5V/2A(10W), 9V/2A(18W), 9V/3A(27W), 11V/3A(33W). This indicates that the device will support 33W fast charging in its top variant or  Pixel 6 Pro. This will be a significant update as compared to its predecessors, which supported fast charging upto 18W. The charger ideally should come within the box but the Pixel 6 Pro users might have to purchase the charger separately.

The 33W charging feature should help Pixel 6 users charge their devices faster than iPhone 13 users, which supports upto 25W of fast charging. But, other Android makers already boast of flagship devices that support 65W of fast charging, and 120W chargers are already in 

Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro Tensor out of the box

One of the main highlights of the device is the support for live translation. This means you can communicate with people in their native language, thanks to its Tensor processor which is significantly designed for such amazing AI features.

Nokia G50 and Nokia T20 Tablet: Is the beloved old-school brand poised to make a full comeback

Everyone has fond memories of their indestructible Nokia phones. While the brand was the foremost phone manufacturer around the turn of the century, it lost most of its market to smartphones manufactured by the likes of Samsung, and Apple - and then newer brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and more. If you like classic underdog stories, you’ll be glad to know that Nokia is planning to launch its latest smartphone offering, the Nokia G50, along with a new tablet, the Nokia T20. 

Nokia G50 specifications

While the official specifications haven’t been revealed, you can bet that there’s already a lot of speculation on the same. If rumors are to be believed, the Nokia G50 will have a MediaTek Helio G80 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. The smartphone will also feature a 6.8-inch HD+ display along with a 48MP primary shooter. It is also believed to have a 4,800 mAh battery. Leaks indicated that branded Nokia TWS headphones will be sold along with the smartphone. 

Nokia T20 Specifications

The brand has not revealed much about the Nokia T20 tablet, apart from the fact that it will have a 10.3-inch screen, and will be priced at Rs 16,300 and Rs 17,800 for the Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi + LTE models respectively. Now, based on these pricings, one can certainly compare similar tablets to speculate on the features the Nokia T20 will offer. Experts believe that the tablet may feature either a chipset from Unisoc or the Snapdragon 4xx SoC processor. They’re also expecting 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. 

Will these new offerings from Nokia help the brand regain its lost smartphone market? Wait till our official reviews to find out!

Apples App Store, Google PlayStore delisted over 8 lakh apps due to lack of privacy policy

With numerous conversations surrounding privacy features offered by apps buzzing on the internet, Apple and Google have taken a stance on the issue by delisting 8,13,000 apps from the App Store and Play Store respectively. These apps have been removed due to their lack of privacy policy, along with other reasons such as policy breaches, dangerous permissions, and developer withdrawal.

Most of these banned apps were targeted at children

Reports indicate that a majority of these banned apps were targeted at children up to 12 years old (with 89% banned from Google PlayStore and 86% banned from Apple’s App Store). Additionally, 66% of the apps banned from Google PlayStore had dangerous permissions - these permissions allow the apps to access restricted data while also running actions that can impact one’s device. For instance, 19% of these banned apps can access the device’s camera, while 27% can access GPS features. 

It’s important to note that even though Google PlayStore and Apple’s App Store have banned these apps, they can still function on the device they were installed on. In other words, if your smartphone already has these apps installed, the ban does not affect their ability to mine your data.

Microsoft Surface Pro 8 specifications leak before official launch

Recently, Microsoft announced a Surface product launch event on 22nd September where we could see at least four new Surface devices. But, just a few days before the official launch, a Twitter account leaked the specifications and price of the Surface Pro 8. 

Surface Pro 8 specification leaks:

The Twitter account Shadow_Leak tweeted an image of Surface Pro 8, which seems to be taken from some sort of retail listing. The account has also leaked a few features like a 13-inch, 120Hz display with narrow bezels that Microsoft has been previously working on. It'll be the first Surface device with a 120Hz display. It's expected to be a 2K IPS LCD panel with touch input support. 

We already knew that Surface Pro 8 won't be shipped with a standard USB A port, and will instead come with a USB-C and Thunderbolt port. The leak confirms that it'll come with two Thunderbolt ports. This is also the first time Microsoft will provide Thunderbolt ports on its Surface series laptops.

Microsoft Surface Pro 8 launch date

Since it's launching on 20th September (close to the Windows 11 launch date on 5th October) it'll be one of the first devices to come with the Windows 11 operating system. Microsoft Surface Pro is going to be powered by Intel 11th gen processors enabling it to support removable SSDs, just like the previous Surface Laptop 4, Surface Pro X, and the business-only Surface Pro 7 plus; this is a handy feature that could be useful to various users. It'll also flaunt the all-new Iris graphics processor.

That's all we know for now. With the Microsoft Surface launch event scheduled to take place soon, we don't have to wait too long for the official reveals of the latest Surface devices. The launch event will take place on 22nd September 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT, where we're expecting Microsoft to launch their new Surface Pro 8, Surface Go 3, a newly designed Surface Book 4, an updated version of Surface Pro X, and Surface Duo 2 (the successor to the Android-powered Surface Duo). We'll be keeping you updated with every major announcement from the Surface launch event, so stay tuned!
