Vivo U20, which was launched in India on November 22, is now up for grabs at a starting price of ₹10,990 via Amazon India and the official Vivo e-shop. The smartphone gets a Snapdragon 675 SoC, a 6.53-inch full-HD+ display, and a large 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. In the imaging department, the new Vivo phone packs a triple rear camera setup with a 16-megapixel primary snapper, and sports a 16-megapixel front camera for selfies.

Apart from announcing that it'll launch a slew of its latest 4G-enabled chipsets in the country, Qualcomm has said it plans to bring 5G chips to India as well. While the Snapdragon 720G, 662 and 460 are going to make their way here, the top-tier 865, 765 and 765G are expected to make landfall as well, bringing with them support for 5G networks. Along with mobile chips, company representatives have admitted that PC makers using the Snapdragon 7C chip, designed for affordable notebooks, are set to launch products focused towards the Indian market sometime in 2020.

To round up, the&nbsp;Vivo&nbsp;S1 Pro is a bit of a mixed bag that ends up delivering a unique experience. It&rsquo;s got a strong camera and a decent processor, along with a design that holds its own in a market that&rsquo;s becoming increasingly saturated. Add to that it&rsquo;s 8GB RAM and affordable price tag of Rs. 19,990, and you&rsquo;ve got a recipe for success, and a great way to start the new decade.

Speaking of the screen, it&rsquo;s a 6.38-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED display, and once you ignore the notch, it gives a very good viewing experience. The colours are bright but not so much that they hurt your eyes, and the screen gets fairly bright as well. However, &nbsp;there&rsquo;s no dual stereo speakers, and you&rsquo;ll have to rely on the single firing speaker at the bottom. Happily enough, there is a 3.5mm audio jack! The battery is a beefy 4,500 mAh, so it&rsquo;ll last at least a day, even with heavy usage, and with 18W fast charging, it takes just under 2 hours to go from 0 to full. Like the last few mid-rangers from&nbsp;Vivo, this one has Type-C charging as well.

The phone runs on Android 9 Pie, with Funtouch OS on top, that gives an iOS-feel to the whole device. It may not be for everyone, but the UI is easy enough to navigate once you figure out where everything is. There is the added option of gestural navigation which is a big plus, and gives the large screen even more real estate. There&rsquo;s a fingerprint scanner underneath the screen as well, which is quick to respond and rarely gave us a false reading.

The S1 Pro runs on Qualcomm&rsquo;s Snapdragon 665 chip and while it isn&rsquo;t the most powerful one out there, it does get the job done when it comes to daily use, multitasking, and a good bit of mobile gaming.&nbsp;Vivo&rsquo;s Ultra Gaming Mode and the phone&rsquo;s 8GB RAM really come in to play here, and we rarely noticed dropped frames or lag when playing graphic intensive games.

The signature feature of the S1 Pro is its camera. It&rsquo;s a diamond shaped quad camera unit, and it houses a 48MP primary sensor. An 8MP ultra wide sensor, 2MP depth sensor and 2MP macro lens make up the rest of the camera system. Additionally, there&rsquo;s a 32MP selfie camera in a water drop notch-ed display. Picture quality from the rear camera is pretty good, in both bright and low light conditions. Colour reproduction is vivid enough without looking oversaturated, and details are intact thanks to the 48MP sensor. In lower lighting conditions, like sunset, colours are well preserved. Selfies with the S1 Pro are nothing to complain about, and there&rsquo;s tons of built-in modes on hand to enhance your image if you so wish. It&rsquo;s worth noting that there&rsquo;s no in-built night mode, but the pro camera mode can be played around with to get a good enough image. The macro mode is a fun addition and it produces some nice results that are welcome on a smartphone at this price range.

According to a TechCrunch report, the Indian government plans to recommend regulations that would force messaging services and social media platforms to help investigative agencies identify users that have sent messages or posted content it deems questionable. The report states that the changes will be suggested later this month in a submission to the Supreme Court. If enforced, changes&nbsp; would force services like WhatsApp to trace questionable content to its origin to avoid assuming responsibility for users' actions, a task that would&nbsp;compromise the end-to-end encryption security provided to its users.

Sony has announced the launch of the latest addition to the iconic Walkman Series, Android Walkman NW-A105 for the Indian market. The Android 9.0 powered device comes with a 3.6-inch HD Touch Screen&nbsp;display, features Hi-Res Audio and even Wi-Fi. The company promises that the Walkman&nbsp;offers a full day playback and comes with 26 hours of battery backup. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, NFC and USB&nbsp;Type-C charging. It comes with a built-in memory of 16GB which can further be expanded up to 128GB. The NW-A105 Walkman will be available for Rs. 23,990 at all Sony Centers, major electronic stores and e-commerce websites in India from 24th January 2020.

Reports have claimed that Apple has abandoned its plans to fully encrypt backups that iPhone users make to the company's iCloud storage service. The move is reportedly in response to the FBI complaining that encrypting iCloud backups would make it harder for the agency to access user data from phones involved in its investigations. Most recently, Apple refused to create a backdoor in iOS to allow law enforcement agencies to access data from iPhones recovered during investigations, but complied with requests for backup data uploaded to iCloud.

Streaming giant Netflix has said that it's managed to add millions of new subscribers from across&nbsp;the world over the last quarter, but toned down expectations for early 2020. While the company reported an expectation beating profit of $587 million in Q4 of 2019, it admitted that growth in North America was below expectations at just over half a million new subscribers. With major rival Disney+ expected to expand to more parts of the world from as soon as March, Netflix says the modest forecast for its growth this year is in anticipation of its competition's global expansion.

According to a Bloomberg report, tech giant Apple is expected to start making a smaller, cheaper iPhone in February and launch the device some time in March.&nbsp;Rumours of a successor to the popular iPhone SE have been doing the rounds ever since its launch in 2016, which was incidentally launched in March as well. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously predicted that the new model will have a chassis similar to the iPhone 8, feature a 4.7-inch screen and run on Apple's A13 Bionic chip.

Streaming service Disney+ is landing in European markets a week earlier than previously announced. The service will initially be rolled out in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany from March 24th. Subscribers will have access to original and syndicated content on Disney+, for a price of either EUR6.99 a month, or EUR69.99 annually. Original shows include the Star Wars TV show 'The Mandalorian' among other popular titles, with almost 500 movies and 7,500 TV episodes promised to subscribers. To recall, Disney+ was officially launched in the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands in November 2019.

Zombie title Dying Light 2 has been indefinitely delayed to allow more development time, according to game developer and publisher Techland. The game was originally scheduled to land in Spring 2020, but now it seems there's no guarantee that gamers will get to see a fully optimized version of Dying Light 2 any time soon. The game is currently in development on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.

According to reports, Europe's GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation has fined companies over data privacy to the tune of over $126 million, ever since it was enforced in May 2018. The GDPR has allowed European data protection regulators to hold big tech companies accountable, with Google being fined around $57 million in France in January 2019. Under the GDPR, companies can be fined up to 4% of their global annual revenue, and 160,000 data breaches have been reported in Europe alone ever since the regulation came into effect.

According to a ZDNet report, an unnamed hacker who gained access to roughly 515,000 internet-connected devices has revealed users IP addresses and passwords on the Dark Web. The leaked credentials supposedly belong to servers, routers and Internet of Things devices that exposed their Telnet port to the Internet. In theory, attackers could use the credentials to gain remote access to the affected devices and install malware.

Huawei is further distancing itself from the Android ecosystem by signing a deal with Dutch digital mapping company TomTom for a Google Maps alternative. According to a Reuters report, the deal became official just last week and Hauwei is collaborating with TomTom as it builds its own mapping apps. Android smartphone makers usually rely on Google Maps as the primary mapping tool, but with the US ban on Huawei still in force, the Chinese tech giant has been forced to explore other avenues.&nbsp;

Samsung has launched it's recently announced Note10 Lite smartphone in India, a toned down version of its Note10 flagship from 2019. It runs on Samsung's own Exynos 9810 chipset, earlier seen in the Galaxy Note9 and S9 series of smartphones from 2018. Available in 6GB and 8GB RAM options, it sports a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Infinity-O super AMOLED display. Storage is a standard 128GB internally, but can be expanded up to 1TB with a microSD card. There's a triple rear camera setup, with optical image stabilisation and a 12MP primary sensor. The Note10 Lite also features a 4,500 mAh battery and a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen stylus. With pre-bookings already open, the Note10 Lite will go on sale from 3rd February at a starting price of ₹38,999 for the 6GB RAM model.

Realme's newly launched flagships are getting a price cut as part of the ongoing Flipkart sale, along with other budget offerings. The Realme X2 gets a flat ₹1,000 off on all variants, and now starts at ₹16,999 for its 4GB RAM, 64GB storage variant. It features a 64MP quad camera system, runs on the Snapdragon 730G chip, and gets a 4,000 mAh battery with 30W fast charging support. The X2 Pro flagship gets a maximum ₹2,000 off, now starting at ₹27,999 for its 6GB RAM, 64GB storage model. It features the top-spec Snapdragon 855+ chip, a 90Hz refresh display and support for 50W fast charging. The Realme 5 Pro budget smartphone has also received a price cut, now starting from ₹11,999 for its 4GB RAM, 64GB storage variant.

Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus smartphones have received pretty heavy discounts for Flipkart's Republic Day Sale, with the former costing ₹22,999 and the latter ₹27,999. The S9's discount is available on its 4GB RAM, 64GB storage variant, which features a single-lens rear camera, an Exynos 9810 processor and a 3,000 mAh battery along with a 5.8-inch Quad HD+ display. The S9 Plus on the other hand runs on 6GB RAM, a 3,500 mAh battery, and gets a dual rear camera setup.

The Amazon Great Indian sale has kicked off by offering consumers loads of tempting discounts on a range of smartphones, including Xiaomi's mid-budget champion, the Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphone. The 6GB RAM and 64GB storage variant now costs Rs. 13,999, down from its original Rs. 16,999 price tag. Launched in 2019, the phone features a quad rear camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary sensor, a 4,500 mAh battery and is powered by the octa-core MediaTek Helio G90T chipset.
