The Realme X3 SuperZoom which was launched recently in Europe is expected to launch in India by the end of June.
According to a report by 91mobiles, citing retail sources, the Realme X3 SuperZoom will launch in India on June 26. The device was first teased by India CEO, Madhav Sheth back in May and so, the device was expected to arrive in the country.
The Realme X3 SuperZoom is a flagship smartphone from the company which features a periscopic camera and it is packed with the last-gen chipset to keep the costs as low as possible.
Well, as stated earlier, it is Realme’s first camera-centric flagship smartphone. It features a quad-camera array at the rear with a 64MP Samsung GW1 primary camera along with an 8MP periscope lens which is followed by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro shooter. The 8MP periscopic lens offers up to 5X Optical Zoom, 60X periscopic zoom and also features optical image stabilization. Other camera features include Starry Mode, Super Nightscape, Pro mode, and much more. You get a 32MP+8MP dual selfie snapper at the front.
Powering the device is the last-gen Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset. In Europe, the device was launched only in one variant - 12GB RAM with 256GB UFS 3.0 storage. However, in India, we expect the company to announce 6/8GB RAM variants with multiple configurations. The device also packs in a vapour cooling chamber that keeps the phone cool under intense gaming sessions.
It has a 6.5-inch Full HD+ LCD panel with a high 120Hz refresh rate. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The Realme X3 SuperZoom houses a 4,200mAh battery with 30W Dart charge via Type-C port. It is capable of charging the device from zero to full within an hour. And, lastly, you get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, as the device sports an LCD panel.
Pricing
The Realme X3 SuperZoom is priced €499 (~Rs 41,000) in Europe for the 12+256GB variant. Since Realme is expected to bring other variants also we can expect the device to be priced around Rs 30,000 keeping in mind that Realme has always priced its devices aggressively in India as compared to the other markets including European market.
If Realme X3 SuperZoom launched for Rs 30,000, it will be taking on the OnePlus Z, which is said to launch sometime in July.
Now, it appears Bose is looking to enter the gaming headset market, with references to an unannounced “QC35 II Gaming Headset” discovered by 9to5Google's APK Insight team during a teardown of the latest Bose Connect app update.
Among the app's many strings of code are numerous references to a device codenamed "Tibbers," which 9to5Google explains is itself a reference to the popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, League of Legends.
Additionally, a deeper dive into the app shows the product codenamed Tibbers referred to by a far more likely name, “Bose QC35 II Gaming Headset”.
Talking tech
To make the gaming correlation even more explicit, each mention of the word Tibbers within the strings appears to be directly related to the connecting of a wired gaming microphone into the headphones' AUX port, and how doing so will automatically switch off Bluetooth connectivity.
Unfortunately, this would suggest that Bose's gaming headset will not take advantage of the QC35 II's built-in Bluetooth functionality.
Also included within the Bose Connect app update is what appears to be a video diagram of the product which offers a clear idea of how the microphone connectivity will work – you can watch the full video by clicking on the screenshot below.
It's unknown at this stage whether Bose's product will end up being a complete gaming headset or if it will simply be a wired microphone attachment which users can plug into existing QuietComfort 35 II cans.
Given the full “Bose QC35 II Gaming Headset” product name discovered within the app, we have to imagine that the audio company is at least considering a package that includes both.
Of course, we won't know for sure until Bose makes an official announcement, and there's still the possibility that the company may never follow through on its plans for a gaming headset. As always, we'll keep you informed of any developments as they occur.
Washington continues to debate whether a second stimulus check could get distributed -- here's where the discussion stands today about another round of relief payments and unemployment benefits.
Along with the announcement of the Galaxy S10 phone, Samsung also unveiled its newest Galaxy smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active. The latest Samsung wearable is available for purchase now, so we've rounded up the best Samsung Galaxy watch prices and deals for from several retailers below.
As the name implies, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active is focused on fitness, and its new design and features reflect that. The ultra-lightweight Galaxy Active comes in one size and features a 1.1-inch display. The fitness watch continually monitors your heart and will send alerts when an abnormal heart rate is detected. The Samsung watch can also help with your sleep and stress, analyzing your sleep patterns and sending you breathing exercises when high stress levels are detected. The Galaxy Active will also help you keep on track with your health and fitness goals by tracking up to 39 exercises and displaying your health summary on the smartwatch display. The waterproof watch comes in four different colors and has a battery that lasts for days on a single charge.
The best Samsung Galaxy Active Watch deals
The Samsung Galaxy Active Watch currently retails for $199.99/£229. The main reason the Active Watch is cheaper than the original Samsung Galaxy Watch ($329 / £279 for the 42mm model) is that the Active is missing the rotatable bezel, a core feature from the Samsung Galaxy Watch. This means navigation of the menus and features is handled by the touchscreen and two side buttons. If you plan on using the Samsung watch just for fitness purposes, then the Galaxy Active is a great alternative at a lower price. You'll find all of the prices from several retailers below.
The best Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 deals
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 was released in September of last year and retails at $279.99 / £269 for the 40mm version and $299 / £289 / AU$549 for the 44mm version. Unlike the original Active watch, the Active 2 is now available in two different sizes and comes in aluminum or stainless steel. The Active 2 also offers an LTE version which allows you to get internet and phone connectivity on your watch even when your smartphone is far away. The new and improved Samsung watch now has a real-time electrocardiogram feature that helps to monitors irregular heartbeats, improved GPS accuracy, and a longer battery life.
In recent years, the boundary between business and consumer laptops has grown increasingly blurred. Sure, hardcore gaming laptops and enterprise models have their own unique traits (e.g. dedicated graphics cards for the former and sophisticated management features for the latter), but that doesn’t necessarily apply to entry level devices.
The IdeaPad 81UT00EAUS from Lenovo, for example, belongs to the popular S145 family, which is equally well-suited for home and business use. Available from BestBuy for $379.99 (roughly £300/AU$550), it's currently out best business laptop deal.
The IdeaPad 81UT00EAUS run on an AMD Ryzen 3 3200 CPU and features a 15-inch full HD display, dedicated numeric keypad, 8GB of RAM (dual channel) and 256GB SSD (NVMe, PCIe). It also has three USB ports, a HDMI one and a memory card reader.
Should they need to, businesses can also upgrade to Windows 10 Pro via Microsoft’s store. But Windows 10 Home should prove sufficient for the overwhelming majority of SMBs.
Extra features such as Bitlocker device encryption, kiosk mode setup, remote desktop and Virtual Machine capabilities, meanwhile, can all be added via third party software.
In terms of caveats, there’s no Type-C connector or Ethernet port, the display is a TN model, the webcam is a VGA type model (so you may end up looking like a Minecraft or Roblox avatar) and the battery is a little underwhelming at 35Whr.
If the Lenovo Ideapad 81UT00EAUS is unavailable in your region, you may have to use a specialist parcel forwarding service to take advantage of the deal.
If you've managed to get hold of a cheaper product with equivalent specifications, in stock and brand new, let us know and we'll tip our hat to you.

While eBay may have originally started as an online auction site in 1999, it;s since become Australia’s biggest ecommerce platform – one where you can buy and sell practically anything. The company hasn’t forgotten its roots, however, and (as has always been the case) you don’t have to be a business to offer your products on eBay, with tens of thousands of individuals also selling items (both new and used) every day.
And in 2020, the selling process is amazingly slick and streamlined, making it super simple for you to get rid of any unwanted clutter you’ve been collecting around the house to make some pocket money – as the saying goes, one person’s trash can be another person’s treasure.
Whether you’re looking to sell off a single item or have collected a few after a clean out, to get started all you need is an eBay account and either a laptop or mobile phone.
Creating an eBay account is free and can be done on a browser or via the eBay mobile app. After that, it’s just a matter of heading to the Sell or Selling tab on eBay’s website or app, respectively, to create a listing, then posting and monitoring it.
We’ve put together a quick step-by-step guide to demonstrate how easy it is.
You can log into eBay with your Google, Facebook or Apple accounts, or create a new account using just your email address. If it’s the last method you opt for, note that for security reasons and to help protect against fraud, you’ll need to enter credit or debit card details to complete the setup.
Start typing in a product name and eBay will automatically look up and help you fill in the details.
2. Create a listing
eBay’s desktop and mobile platform lets you immediately start creating your listing without needing to decide whether you’re an individual seller or an eBay Store – the latter is intended for dedicated, long term setups. If you’re just looking to make some extra cash by selling off things like old clothes, furniture, tech or other individual items, just start by selecting ‘List An Item’ on the app, or on PC type in the product description in the space provided on the Sell tab of the website. As an individual seller, you can list up to 40 items for free and only pay the 10.9% final value fee on only the items you manage to sell.
3. List it faster
As soon as you’ve added the name, title or description of the item you’re selling, eBay will offer you the choice of automatically filling in more details by choosing from similar listings on the site. You’re offered a category and subcategories based on previous similar listings too, so you don’t even need to figure out where your product needs to be placed on eBay. This will also automatically pull in pricing options and some copy to describe your item, which you can edit as required.
4. Edit your listing
After this initial step is done, first-time sellers will be asked to enter their address and contact number, and you’ll then be taken to the editor page called Listing Summary. Here you can change the title of your listing, add/edit descriptions, pricing and, most importantly, add images.
It's easy to take and edit product photos right within the eBay app.
5. Add and edit product photos
We shop with our eyes and eBay recommends that you provide all product images with a white background to allow your items to stand out. And this is where eBay’s mobile app makes it super easy to get great pics. Photos can be taken via the app itself – simply select the pencil icon beside ‘Photos’ in the Listing Summary. Tap on the plus sign at the bottom of the page to take more snaps, then use the in-built photo editor to remove any unwanted backgrounds with just a single click. It’s that simple. Images are saved automatically into the Listing Summary, and also synced across your devices in case you want to continue finalising your listing on your computer.
6. Pricing made easy
eBay even takes the guesswork out of how you should price your products. Depending on whether you want to auction off your items or use a set, fixed price, eBay will automatically suggest a number – and you can always adjust it if you’re not satisfied with the suggestion.
Shipping your sold items is simple, thanks to eBay's tight integration with both Australia Post and Sendle.
7. Shipping and handling
The Listing Summary page is also where you decide how you’ll be shipping your item. You will need to enter your package’s weight and dimensions in the boxes provided, after which you’ll be shown a list of the integrated services offered by eBay. Just click on ‘Select a postage service’ and choose whether you’d like to ship via Australia Post or Sendle. You get the choice of either paying for the shipping yourself (meaning it’s free delivery for the buyer) or the buyer pays.You can print labels from the comfort of your own home, package the item and either take it to your nearest post office or have Sendle pick it up from your door at no extra charge. eBay also gives you the option to add your address, allowing local buyers to pick up the package themselves to save on shipping.
8. Preview and post your listing
Once you’ve completed the listing summary you can preview what your item listing will look like on both desktop and mobile, or save it for further editing later. If you’re happy with what you’ve got, just select ‘List It’ and you’re off!
9. Monitor your listing
Now it’s just a matter of waiting patiently. eBay will send you emails and app alerts when offers have been made, so be sure to allow notifications on your mobile. When your item sells, the listing will automatically change status and you’ll be notified, after which you just need to package your item up, ship it to the buyer and use the app or site to notify them that it’s on the way. If you chose to auction your items but they didn’t sell on the first try, they can be relisted up to eight times without being counted towards your monthly allowance of 40 free listings.
And that’s all there is to it when it comes to selling items on eBay. Easy, right? So what are you waiting for – sign up or log into your eBay account and get started today!

The ransomware syndicate created by the operators of the Maze ransomware has added another group to its ranks.
Ransomware operations that target business networks will often steal a victim's unencrypted files before encrypting the rest of their network. Cybercriminals do this so that they can use these files as leverage in case victims fail to pay its ransoms. If the ransom isn't paid, then the unencrypted files will be leaked online via a data leak site.
Last year, the Maze ransomware group launched a data leak site of its own called Maze News which it uses to shame victims into paying by publicly releasing their stolen data. However, the group took things a step further recently when it decided to create a ransomware syndicate with other ransomware operators to exchange tactics, intelligence and extort victims through its data leak platform.
The operators of the LockBit ransomware were the first group to join Maze's ransomware syndicate but now another competing ransomware group named RagnarLocker has joined as well. In a post on Twitter, Ransom Leaks provided further details on the newest member of the 'cartel', saying:
“The MazeRansomware cartel is real. In addition to LockBit, they are providing infrastructure for RagnarLocker's leaks. Ragnar previously claimed Brunner breach. Now it is listed on Maze's leak site with attribution to RagnarLocker”
While LockBit does not operate its own data leak site, RagnarLocker does which means the group has less to gain by joining the syndicate. However, RagnarLocker could still be benefiting from the arrangement by being associated with the Maze gang and by sharing tactics and intelligence with it and LockBit.
At this time, it is still unknown how the Maze gang benefits from its ransomware syndicate but the group could be collecting a portion of the profits from the stolen data auctioned off on its Maze News site. Also, there is power in numbers in addition to the benefits of sharing intelligence and exchanging tactics with other cybercriminals.
