Instagram reveals new profile embedding option along with a bunch of new features

As the year draws to a close, it looks like Instagram is giving its users a bit of an end-of-year send-off. Users will now be able to embed their profiles on third party websites. This profile will be a specialised, miniature version of their profile that is meant to be embedded. It also does not mention the name of the users, so users can remain anonymous while still having their profile viewable in public. The feature was unveiled by Meta CEO Adam Mosseri on Friday. He showed off the feature and introduced a bunch of new options as well. The feature is available in the US for now. There is no word on an international rollout as yet. 

 New Features  We’ve rolled out some pretty fun new features this week that I wanted to share with you: - #IGPlayback - Reels Visual Replies - Profile Embed (US only for now) Any new features you’d like to see? Let me know!  pic.twitter.com/p8mvtJn4kA

— Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) December 16, 2021 Instagram reveals new features like profile embedding and more

The other features that were announced were Instagram Playback and Reels Visual Replies. The Visual Replies feature can only be accessed when you’re replying to a comment. Selecting it to create a video reply will allow the comment to appear as a sticker. There was no word on the full rollout of the features as yet, but we do expect them to be launched sooner rather than later. 

In fact, as we reported earlier, CEO Adam Moserri stated that Instagram was in the process of working on an option that will give users the ability to switch between a chronological feed instead of an algorithm based one. This could give users a better idea of what their feed looks like instead of Instagram shoving what it wants down your throat.

Xiaomi TV Stick 4K officially announced with support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos

Xiaomi has silently launched a 4K variant of its streaming stick called the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K. To put things into perspective, the Mi TV Stick available in India is a 1080p stick and to go 4K, you will have to consider the Mi Box 4K (review). It isn’t clear whether the new Xiaomi TV Stick 4K will come to India, but considering the diverse portfolio of the Amazon Fire TV Stick, it could give Amazon’s streaming dongle a run for its money. 

Xiaomi TV Stick 4K Specifications and Features

Kicking things off with the specifications of the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K, it is powered by a quad-core Cortex-A35 CPU coupled with a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. It has 2 GB RAM and 8GB Storage and runs on Android 11 out of the box. Just like Xiaomi TVs, the device has access to popular streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and more. It has support for Dual-Band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5. The device comes with a remote control that looks identical to the remote control found on the Mi and Redmi TVs in India. It has a dedicated button to bring up the Google Assistant along with OTT hotkeys for Netflix and Prime Video. 

As mentioned above, the device supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos in addition to the 4K resolution. It also supports Chromecast built-in.  

Xiaomi TV Stick 4K Price and Availability

There is no information on whether Xiaomi will launch the device in India nor any information about the price.

Nvidia announces RTX 2050 powered laptops along with GeForce MX550 and MX570

As gaming laptops become more affordable, Nvidia is looking at lowering the bar for modern gaming even more with the announcement of the RTX 2050 GPU. Laptops that come with the RTX 2050 will hit markets sometime in mid-2022. We have no idea what these newer RTX 2050 laptops will cost but they should be cheaper than laptops with an RTX 3050. The RTX 2050 is based on the Ampere GA107 architecture which also shaped the 3050. This essentially means that gamers will be able to experience games with ray-tracing enabled. 

Nivida also announced the GeForce MX550 as well as the GeForce MX570 gaming laptops. From what we can see, these two laptops will be aimed at the low-end segment of the market, with mainly first-time customers looking for a laptop that can run the most games at a decent price. Nvidia has not released the specs for these cards and has only said that they offer “more CUDA Cores” and “faster memory speeds”. We will just have to wait and see what exactly these laptops offer once we get our hands on them. 

Nvidia's new RTX 2050 laptops have been announced

In fact, in terms of the growth of gaming in the country, we earlier reported that a new report by Niko Partners stated that India is the fastest-growing gaming market in the world. Niko Partners is a market research and consulting firm covering video games, esports, and streaming in Asia. The new report covers the mobile and PC games market in India and is one of ten reports covering the Asia-10 market. Asia-10 countries include Chinese Taipei, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
