How will the DigiYatra app revolutionise air travel

The Government of India has launched a new app known as DigiYatra, which aims to offer a seamless process for all air passengers at the airport. As of now, the app works at airports in Delhi, Varanasi, and Bangalore. DigiYatra is based on facial recognition technology, and the data that will be shared by passengers will be archived with proper encryption for safety. This will be done in a decentralised manner. 

"DigiYatra, a biometric enabled seamless travel experience based on facial recognition technology aims to provide a new digital experience for air travellers in India," announced the Ministry of Civil Aviation on Twitter. 

What is the DigiYatra app?

The DigiYatra app is based on biometric technology and aims on digitising the experience of checking in at the airport, along with other processes that travellers need to go through. It facilitates a paperless entry at the airport, which means that travellers no longer have to print out tickets or carry boarding passes. The facial recognition system will be used at the security points in the airport, and this system has currently been installed at airports in Varanasi, Delhi, and Bangalore.

To use the DigiYatra app, users have to register themselves by using their Aadhar Card and adding an image of themselves. The boarding pass for the flight can be scanned via the app, and then used to enter the flight. The passenger will have to head to the e-gate and allow the barcode on the boarding pass to be scanned. This, along with the facial recognition system at the gate will help verify the identity of the passenger.

The DigiYatra represents a new step towards digitising aspects of the Indian economy, with the process starting with digital currency, and now moving onto everyday activities. It should be able to enhance security at airports and cut down on the paper used on a daily basis.

Motorola X40 Pro 5K renders give us a fair idea of what to expect

The Motorola X40 Pro, which is marketed as the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, is believed to launch in December 2022. OnLeaks has published 5K renders of this smartphone, along with a 360-degree video that shows off the design (as well as some specification details) quite neatly. The renders show the rear and front panels of the phone and indicate that we can expect a few design changes in this model.

Motorola X40 Pro design

OnLeaks and MySmartPrice have gotten together to share high-quality renders of the Motorola X40 Pro, and these indicate the new design changes we’ll see in the upcoming smartphone. On the rear panel, we can see a square-shaped camera module.  The module houses three camera lenses along with an LED flash. The brand logo is placed at the centre of the rear panel. 

Coming to the front panel, we can see a curved display (which is rumoured to measure 6.67 inches). The hole-punch cutout for the front camera is right at the centre top of the display. The volume rocker and power button are placed on the right spine of the smartphone. The bottom of the phone has a microphone cutout and a speaker grille. Additionally, we can see cutouts at the top edge of the smartphone too, and these may house the secondary microphone or speaker. 

The Motorola X40 Pro measures 161.3 x 73.9 x 8.6-mm, while the bump on the camera module is 10.8-mm thick. We can expect to see a glass back on the phone, along with a metal frame (as opposed to the plastic frame the Motorola X30 Pro came with).

 

Motorola X40 Pro Specifications

The Motorola X40 Pro will have a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate. The display may have a Full HD+ resolution and an HDR10+ certification. The triple camera setup will sport a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 12MP telephoto camera. The smartphone will also have a 60MP front selfie. 

Motorola’s flagship phone is rumoured to run on the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The base model of this smartphone may offer 8GB RAM along with 128GB storage, while the second model will offer 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. 

Motorola X40 Pro will have an IP68 rating, which means it will be dust and water-resistant. It will have a 5000mAh battery capacity with 68W fast charging support. It will run on MyUX 4.0, which is based on Android 13.

Apples M2 Macbook will come with 96GB RAM and offer faster speeds

Earlier this week, LeaksApplePro revealed that the new Apple M2 Macbook will be “worth the wait”. Now, we’re seeing reports on the new laptop’s capabilities, and this may indicate that the laptop is close to launching. Apple has been testing its upcoming 16-inch and 14-inch Macbook Pros, and there are plenty of rumours regarding them using the new M2 Max processor. 

Apple M2 Macbook specifications

Two Geekbench runs have recently confirmed that the upcoming laptops will have the M2 Pro processor along with 96GB RAM. The M2 Max processor is said to have 12 cores that can run at a maximum speed of 3.4 GHz. It will also have 2 more cores that are rumoured to be 320Mhz faster than the speeds offered by the current Macbook Pro laptops that feature the M1 Pro processor. 

When will the Apple M2 Macbooks be released?

There were plenty of speculations this year about the release date of the Apple M2 Macbook, with people believing that it will release in the autumn of 2022. Now that we are close to the end of the year, it is fair to assume that we will see this laptop sometime in 2023. The brand has not currently confirmed anything about the launch date, but the increasing frequency of leaks is often seen as an indicator of a launch on the horizon by tech enthusiasts with their fingers on the pulse. 

Apple’s Macbook Air was released earlier and it sported an all-new look. The brand also released the 13-inch Macbook Pro. Both these laptops are equipped with the M2 processor, with the M2 Max processor being the successor to the same. 

To know if the older processor offered improvements in performance, have a look at our review of the 13-inch Macbook Pro and the new Apple Macbook Air.

Spotify Wrapped 2022 is out now Heres how to see it

With 2022 drawing to a close, Spotify has finally released its Spotify Wrapped 2022, which shows users their listening habits and the most-loved content pieces from the year. Recently, the Apple Music Replay 2022 and Youtube 2022 Recap were also released, allowing users on both platforms to get a glimpse into the year that was. 

Spotify Wrapped has a story-like interface, making the content both interesting and easy to consume, and this could be one of the reasons why it is so popular. Spotify will show you all the data on the songs you’ve listened to the most, the albums you’ve loved and the artists who’ve taken centre stage on your playlist. This year’s Wrapped also brings two new features - your Listening Personality (sort of like those MBTI personality types that were so popular years ago) and Audio Day (an insight into how your music habits evolve as the day processes). 

How to access Spotify Wrapped 2022 on iOS and Android Smartphones?

The following steps show you how you can access Spotify Wrapped 2022 and see what your year in music was really like.

How to find Spotify Wrapped 2022 on the desktop?

Unfortunately, Spotify Wrapped 2022 is not available on Spotify’s desktop app. You can only access this data while using the smartphone app. 

What happens if you can’t see Spotify Wrapped 2022?

This could be because of two main reasons. The first is that the rollout has not reached you yet. You can try again in a few days. The second is that you simply did not use the app enough times for it to collect such data. Ah well, there’s always next year.

iQOO 11 and Xiaomi 13 launches have been pushed back

If you’ve been waiting for the 1st and 2nd of December with bated breath, here’s some sad news for you. The launches of the Xiaomi 13, iQOO Neo 7, and iQOO 11 have been postponed, and while the companies have not indicated why this has been done, most people believe it is out of respect for former Chinese President Jiang Zemin.

Ahead of the launch date, the two companies had begun to reveal the specifications of their upcoming smartphones to create some buzz around the same.

iQOO and Xiaomi flagship launch postponed

The Xiaomi 13 flagship smartphone was scheduled to launch on 1st December this year, while the two iQOO offerings, the flagship iQOO 11 and iQOO Neo 7 were scheduled to launch on 2nd December. We may hear about the revised launch dates of the three smartphones before the end of this year, and this push in the launch may also lead to India launches getting pushed forward as a consequence 

The delayed launch has also pushed the reveal of corresponding accessories such as the Xiaomi Watch S2 and the Buds 4 TWS.
