A Taiwan-based cable and connector supplier for Apple will reportedly start mass producing parts for the American tech giant later this year, at its new plant in India. According to reports, Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co. has its new base set up in a plant near Chennai. It's worth noting that other major part makers for Apple like Foxconn, Pegatron and Wistron, also have a developing foothold in the country.

Huawei has said that its revenue rose 9.9 per cent in the first nine months of this year, but the growth was slow due to US sanctions and the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Chinese tech giant said that the growth for the first three quarters was down from the 13.1 per cent reported for the first half of the year.
Huawei is struggling with the US sanctions that restricted access to advanced computer chips the company needs to build its telecommunications gear and smartphones.

Gears 5 players on the Xbox Series X and Series S are set to receive WWE legend Dave Bautista as an optional character for the single-player campaign in the next update for the game.

Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is reportedly exploring a clamshell design for its next foldable smartphone, to take on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. A design patent filed by the firm in China shows off a clamshell design with two screens, one on the inside, and one on the outside. Huawei has so far launched the Mate X and Mate Xs foldable smartphones, that flip with the screens facing outwards.

Xiaomi is reportedly looking to launch the Redmi K30S in China on October 27.
The smartphone is expected to be a rebranded Mi 10T and will feature a Snapdragon 865 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
The Redmi K30S may come with a 6.67-inch full-HD+ hole-punch display with 144Hz refresh rate and a 64-megapixel triple rear camera setup.

Xiaomi India has announced that it sold over 50 lakh smartphones in the last week, during the festive season sale. The company said that its 15,000 retail partners across the country doubled their sales year-on-year, over the period.
According to market research firm Canalys, Xiaomi continues to lead the smartphone market in India, with 1.3 crore units shipped in the third quarter and growing by 9 per cent year-on-year.

Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Kun-hee died at the age of 78 on October 24, the company has announced. There was no mention of the cause of death, but Lee was left bedridden by a heart attack in 2014.
He was South Korea&rsquo;s richest person and under his leadership, Samsung rose to become the world's largest producer of smartphones and memory chips.

Activision has officially announced a new Zombies co-op mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The Zombies Onslaught mode is described as a "two-person, fast-paced Zombies experience", and will be exclusive to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players for nearly a whole year after release. The mode will drop players armed with custom loadouts into one of several locations, and will have to stay inside a protected area to fight off zombies.

After the launch of the Galaxy F41 as part of its new F-series, Samsung is reportedly aiming to bring a second smartphone to India under the new banner. Reports say a Galaxy F12 or F12s smartphone is going to soon join the ranks, at an entry-level price point. To recall, the F41 was launched on October 8 in India at a starting price of ₹15,499. It features a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen, 6,000mAh battery and 64MP triple rear camera setup.

Reports indicate that InnerSloth, developer for the popular online multiplayer game Among Us, is struggling to deal with a spam attack, affecting a large number of players. The hack is causing users to spam their match's text chat with messages, redirecting people to the YouTube and Discord channels of a person that goes by the name of Eris Loris, with some messages even promoting US President Donald Trump's 2020 election campaign. InnerSloth has said that it's aware of the situation and working to fix it, and requests users to play private games, or with people they trust, for now.

Google has removed 36 apps from its Play Store between the months of July and October, in an attempt to fight malware and enforce Play Store policies. The tech giant has removed numerous apps that were infected with the Joker malware, along with other apps that violated its policies by potentially accessing and leaking users' Android ID and advertising ID numbers.

It seems Samsung is set to release a stable build for its Android1 11-based One UI 3.0 skin, with reports claiming that the Galaxy S20 with Android 11 has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Both the 4G and 5G variants have been certified, for models in the US and in other markets. Recent reports have indicated that the Galaxy S20+ and S20 Ultra models are yet to receive Wi-Fi certification, but have begun getting the One UI 3.0 beta update in some regions.

According to reports, the OnePlus 7 and 7T series of smartphones are reportedly receiving a second OxygenOS update in October, that keeps the already released September security patch, but fixes some bugs. While Indian variants seem to retain pretty much the same changelog as the preivious update, there are some changes to the EU variant, like bug fixes for the alarm clock and stability issues with the Messages app. It's worth noting that the OnePlus is yet to update the security patch for either series, which still carry the September security patch.

The launch of EA's Apex Legends on the Nintendo Switch, expected around fall this year, has been delayed to sometime next year. Game director Chad Grenier has announced that the team needs more time in order to do justice to the game on the Switch platform. However, he promised that whenever Apex Legends was officially released for the Nintendo console, it would support full cross-play, have all the same features as it does on other platforms, and get the latest seasonal updates.

Reports say social media giant Facebook could be slapped with anti-trust charges in the US, as soon as November. According to the Washington Post, the US Federal Trade Commission has met to discuss a probe, and state attorney generals have been analysing Facebook's potential threats to competition. It's worth noting that Facebook agreed to pay a record-breaking $5 billion fine to the FTC to settle an FTC probe into its privacy practices in July 2019.

Infinix Mobile has announced a new variant of its recently launched Hot 10 smartphone in India with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.
It will go on sale via Flipkart for ₹8,999 starting October 29. The smartphone features a Helio G70 chipset, 16MP quad rear camera setup and a 5,200 mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging.

The US government said that a Russian state-sponsored hacking group has targeted and successfully breached US state and local government computer networks.
US officials identified the Russian hacker group as &lsquo;Berserk Bear&rsquo; or &lsquo;Dragonfly&rsquo; and said that it&rsquo;s been targeting dozens of US government networks since at least February 2020.
The alert comes amid heightened concern about hacking ahead of the US presidential election on November 3.

Popular short-form video app TikTok has announced that it will now tell users why their videos were removed from the platform.
The ByteDance-owned company will now state the specific policy rather than just saying that the video had violated &lsquo;community guidelines&rsquo;.
And, as before, users will have an option to appeal the content removal.

The recently launched Oppo A15 has gone on sale in India for ₹10,990. Customers can also avail a 10 per cent instant discount via HDFC Bank credit/ debit cards on Amazon.
To recall, the smartphone features a 6.52-inch HD+ IPS LCD display, a MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage.

Micromax has confirmed that it will introduce its new &lsquo;in' series of smartphones on November 3.

A 6,000mAh battery. A 6.4-inch Super AMOLED FHD+&nbsp;display. A 64MP multi-sensor rear camera setup. A ₹15,499 price tag.
This, and more, is everything common between Samsung's Galaxy M31 and F41 smartphones. The F41 is the more recent of the two, but on paper and in person, you likely won't be able to tell them apart.
Which begs the question--why has Samsung launched the Galaxy F41, when the M31 already exists?
First, let's quickly run through everything the F41 gets, on both the hardware and software fronts.
Like I mentioned earlier, there's a tried and tested&nbsp;6.4-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display here, with the familiar Infinity-U notch. In true Samsung fashion, colours are punchy, and watching content on this display is very enjoyable. Bezel sizes are unchanged, as is the standard 60Hz screen refresh rate.
The rear camera setup is a 64MP triple sensor setup, and also includes an 8MP and 5MP sensor. There's no dedicated macro sensor here like you get on the M31, but it's still a reasonably versatile system, that performs quite well in day to day conditions. Images taken in daylight are colourful enough, details are good and natural depth of field with the 64MP sensor is impressive. On the ultrawide front, distortion is present but minimal. I would have preferred if the colours were closer to those on the main sensor, but it's not a deal breaker. Portrait shots are decent, with edge detection doing its job well most of the times, even when taking images of objects. Low light images from the rear camera are alright enough, with the dedicated Night Mode sprucing things up and working well to eliminate noise. For selfies, there's a 32MP sensor that does well if you throw enough light into the mix, and edge detection is very good for a single sensor setup. Both the front and rear cameras take up to 4K videos at 30fps, and slow motion videos at up to 240fps in 1080p resolution.
When it comes to design, there&rsquo;s again the signature M-series polycarbonate body with a fingerprint sensor at the back, that&rsquo;s just as reliable and quick as ever. In fact, this Fusion Green colour is very similar to what was offered on the M30s, but it looks much better when compared to the options offered on the M31. There&rsquo;s also the 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C port and single speaker on the bottom of the F41. A full-fledged dual SIM plus microSD card tray is also present, which is very handy.
Before I forget, this device packs in the massive 6,000mAh battery we&rsquo;ve gotten used to seeing on Samsung phones, which offers nearly two days of battery life with moderate usage. It charges at up to 15W, which does take over 2 hours to charge the phone from zero to full, but then again, you won&rsquo;t be charging this nearly as often as other devices.
On the software front, things are largely the same. It&rsquo;s still Android 10, but the F41 runs OneUI Core 2.1, which adds features like Single Take, that allow you to take multiple videos, photos and boomerangs with a single click.
With the same Exynos 9611 chip we&rsquo;ve gotten quite used to, the experience is also quite similar. For day to day use, the F41 is more than enough with its 6GB RAM and up to 128GB internal storage, which can be supersized up to 512GB with a microSD card. Gaming performance is strong on titles like COD mobile, as long as you don&rsquo;t push it too far with the highest graphic settings and max frame rate.&nbsp;
Now all this makes it seem like Samsung hasn&rsquo;t really done much with the F41, except for giving an older phone a new name. But if you take a look at the economics of the device, things start to make sense. You see, if you buy this phone from Flipkart, you&rsquo;re offered the Flipkart Smart Upgrade Plan, which means you only pay 70% of the cost, in order to use the phone for 1 year. At the end of that year, you can either switch to a different device, or pay the remaining amount and continue using the F41. This brings down the effective cost from the Rs. 15,499 starting price for this device considerably, and coupled with available credit card offers, you can end up getting the F41 for a lot cheaper than it&rsquo;s actual cost. When you take that into consideration, you&rsquo;re actually getting a whole lot of value for money, and at this price point, that&rsquo;s what it&rsquo;s all about.
The F41 manages to check some big spec boxes like a 6,000mAh battery, 6GB RAM and a large super AMOLED display, at an extremely reasonable price. In my opinion, this is a paradigm shift for the brand&mdash;it&rsquo;s taking everything that was good about the M-series, and putting it in its new F-series, so it can expand options for its customers at a very competitive price point. If you ask me, the F-series, with its latest Galaxy F41, is all set to be your next best daily driver.
