In terms of design, the phone just shouts out premium from every angle imaginable. It's definitely not as sleek as previous OnePlus iterations but then again this is also the largest OnePlus phone to ever exist. The back of the 7 Pro is all glass and the Nebula blue coloured version that I received looks fantastic. It actually comes with an anti-glare matte finish, which means it doesn't get a lot of fingerprint smudges. It's also worth noting the phone comes with a pair of stereo speakers. There's one placed on the bottom and one on top of the display and I gotta say they produce some really nice and rich audio output.

The already delayed third season of Fortnite's Chapter 2 has been delayed yet again. The Season 3 premiere has been pushed back one week to June 11th this time, in order to "get everything ready". The current season was expected to wrap up by May 1st, but Epic Games hasn't made clear what has been causing the delays, although work from home orders amid the Covid-19 pandemic may have played a role in the matter.

Microsoft is laying off at least 50 news production workers and replacing them with AI-based algorithms to perform their editorial duties, the Seattle Times reported. These news production contractors work with Microsoft News, the company&rsquo;s news content arm that operates MSN.com and other properties. The work includes identifying trending news stories, rewrite headlines or adding better photographs or slide shows. Besides the production work, the contract employees also planned content, maintained the editorial calendars of partner news websites and assigned content to them.

Cybersecurity researchers at Barracuda Networks warned of a new type of impersonation attack that tricks people into sharing their usernames and passwords. The company said that over a million form-based attacks were recorded in the first four months of 2020, which makes up over 4 per cent of all spear-phishing attacks during this period. Out of these, Google file-sharing and storage websites were used in 65 per cent of the attacks, whereas, Microsoft brands were targeted in another 13 per cent.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has issued recommendations for a new national numbering plan for fixed line and mobile networks for future needs. The regulator called for freeing up underutilised numbering resources, its reallocation and all calls from fixed line to mobile phones to be prefixed with a &lsquo;0&rsquo;. It also suggested all SIM-based dongles be shifted to 13 digits, changes to codes for short-distance charging areas and an automated allocation of numbering resources to speed up the process.

Social media biggie Facebook has announced that it will now begin to verify the identity of suspiciously popular accounts on its platform. The firm says it will now authenticate the identities of people being profiles that have a "pattern of inauthentic behaviour" and whose posts go viral quickly in the US. Reports say the move is a way for Facebook to deal with misinformation on its platform, and find out if a popular account is authentic or part of a propaganda campaign.

Besides Nokia C5 Endi, HMD Global has also launched two new budget smartphones in the US.

HMD Global has launched a new smartphone in the US, the Nokia C5 Endi. It features a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display and a MediaTek Helio P22 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.

The Nokia C5 Endi runs on Stock Android 10 and costs $169.99 (~₹12,700).

Apple has reportedly reopened nearly 256 of its total 510 retail stores worldwide in some capacity. The Cupertino-based tech giant had closed all its retail stores outside Greater China in March to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. Apple is offering curbside or storefront services only in most locations with reduced occupancy and social distancing norms in place.

Motorola&rsquo;s budget smartphone, the Moto G8 Power Lite, was sold out within 20 seconds during its first sale on May 29 via Flipkart. The ₹8,999 phone features a 6.5-inch Max Vision HD+ 20:9 display and runs on the MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. It comes with a 16-megapixel triple rear camera setup, an 8-megapixel selfie shooter and a 5,000 mAh battery with 10W rapid charging.

The M21 is housed in a plastic body, and in this glossy black variant, it attracts a lot of scratches, so if you wanna take care of it, you&rsquo;d best buy a case for it. There&rsquo;s a physical fingerprint sensor on the back, which is just as quick as always, but with more smartphone makers opting for a side-mounted scanner, it would&rsquo;ve been nice to see one here too.
Like I said, the display is gorgeous, great colours and good resolution. It&rsquo;s perfect for binge-watching Netflix and let&rsquo;s be real&mdash;that&rsquo;s all anyone is doing these days with the lockdown.

The Exynos 9611 wasn&rsquo;t smashing records in 2019, and it certainly isn&rsquo;t doing much better in 2020, but to be fair, it holds its own while gaming on even the 4GB RAM model as long as you don&rsquo;t play on high graphic settings. There&rsquo;s also Samsung&rsquo;s gaming mode which is awesome, it lets you block incoming notifications and calls, and even access a few functions like the dialer in a minimised screen, pretty nifty!
Speaking of nifty, the rear camera setup is a 48MP wide sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 5MP depth sensor. I didn&rsquo;t hate pictures on the M30s, but Samsung&rsquo;s definitely done a much better job of image processing on the M21. I said the same about the M31&mdash;I feel like when it comes to budget phones, the M series is really pushing the envelope and delivering results I would expect from phones that cost more than twice as much as these.
If you&rsquo;re looking for detail, the 48MP photo mode has plenty. If you&rsquo;re looking for bokeh, the depth sensor&rsquo;s got you covered. And if you&rsquo;re looking for vast ultra-wide shots, that finally don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;ve been taken with a completely different phone, the M21 will deliver. Colours are great, details are rich and depth in close up shots is surprisingly good, without the need for a macro sensor. There&rsquo;s even a Super Steady Mode for videos that&rsquo;s great if you&rsquo;re an amateur filmmaker on a tight budget.
Low light photography is the one place this phone is lacking, despite the dedicated Night mode. Pictures in semi-darkness have quite a bit of grain, despite strong image processing. I know that doesn&rsquo;t sound great, but for me personally, that isn&rsquo;t a deal-breaker, especially when I consider the price and how infrequently I take shots in the dark. Still, it&rsquo;s always nice to have that ability in the arsenal, and that&rsquo;s the one spot on an otherwise polished product.
The front camera is a 20MP sensor, and it&rsquo;s portrait selfies are how you&rsquo;d expect them to be&mdash;well processed but a bit iffy on the edge detection, a perennial problem with single sensors on the front that some brands are now remedying with dual hole-punches.

Jabra has rolled out a new update to the company&rsquo;s Sound Plus smartphone app that allows customisation controls for the physical buttons on each earbud of Jabra Elite 75t and its active lifestyle edition, the Jabra Elite Active 75t. Users can choose what they want with a single, double, or triple tap on each earbud, however, the press and hold gesture for volume controls remain the same. The latest Sound Plus update is available now for iOS and should be coming to Android as well.

Google has developed a new AR tool that can help you follow social distancing rules as a means to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. &ldquo;Sodar&rdquo; is Google&rsquo;s experimental project that uses Augmented Reality (AR) to create a virtual six feet or two meter radius arc around you. Notably, it uses WebXR standard and works only on Google Chrome and Android devices.

The Infinix Hot 9 series smartphones have been launched in India. Both of them feature a 6.6-inch HD+ hole-punch IPS LCD display, a MediaTek Helio P22 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. They come with an 8-megapixel selfie snapper, a 5,000 mAh battery, a rear fingerprint sensor and have got face unlock support. The main differentiating factor is that the Infinix Hot 9 has a 13-megapixel quad rear camera setup, while its Pro variant features a 48-megapixel primary sensor. The Infinix Hot 9 Pro will go on sale from June 5 for ₹9,499, while the Infinix Hot 9 can be purchased starting June 8 for ₹8,499.

Facebook has responded to US President Donald Trump's executive order that attempts to limit immunity from liability to online platforms for what their users may say online. Trump's order says that Section 230 that grants immunity to Internet&nbsp;giants should be clarified and that protections should be rolled back if a company isn't acting in "good faith". Facebook has said that the order will only "restrict more speech online, not less", and that by exposing platforms to potential liability for what users say, it would "encourage platforms to censor anything that might offend anyone."
