Samsung’s next mid-range smartphone has been unveiled by some images leaked from the web. Galaxy A 72 will be the successor of Galaxy A 71, smartphone among the most sold by Samsung in the 2020. The rumors arrived show us a device with few differences in design compared to the predecessor , and so it will probably be with regard to the hardware sector. The renderings of Galaxy A 72 were published by the leakster Steve Hemmerstoffer on OnLeaks , while the details of the camera appeared today on the Dutch blog GalaxyClub .
Galaxy A 72: Quad cam and design unveiled
Galaxy A 71 was launched with on board the SoC Snapdragon 765 G , consequently since there is not yet a direct successor, we would not be surprised if the same processor will be mounted on A 72. The fingerprint sensor will be inserted under the display and the pictures confirm us a 6.7 inch display punch-hole, with the hole centered. In all likelihood A 72 will not abandon jack 3, 5mm for headphones.
Smartphone will measure 165 x 77, 4 x 8.1 mm which reaches a total thickness of 9.9 mm by counting the protuberance of the rear camera, dimensions increased compared to A 71, even if very little. Speaking of the camera sector, according to GalaxyClub, the device will present a quad cam with a main one from 64 MP , one ultra wide from 12 MP and two modules of 5 MP for macro and depth.
Prices and availability
According to the most reliable sources, both versions will arrive in our market in 2021 . The variant 4G should be around at an inclusive price between 450-500 EUR, while for the variant 5G the price will be between 550 – 600 EUR.
Around a week ago AT&T started rolling out the update to Android 11 with One UI 3.0 to its Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G units, and today both T-Mobile and Verizon have joined in on the fun, for both the top of the line Note as well as the vanilla Note20.
As usual, these rollouts are staged and so it may take a few days (or even weeks) for every single unit out there to receive the coveted update notification. While you keep that in mind, if you’re impatient you can always just mash the Download and install button from Settings > Software update.
The downloads weigh in at around 2.5GB, and you’re also getting the December 2020 security patch level, unsurprisingly. If you’re interested in exactly what the brand new One UI 3.0 brings to the table, read our detailed breakdown here.
Realme introduced the X7 lineup on September 1 in China, and finally, the series made it overseas. The first phone to appear overseas is Realme X7 Pro, officially, which just made its debut in Thailand.
It is already selling at major online retailers in a single memory option and two colors – Black and Gradient.
The Realme X7 Pro runs on a Dimensity 1000+ chipset with 5G support. Thailand is one of the few countries in South-East Asia with actual working 5G network, albeit limited, so the headline feature of the phone will definitely be used.
Other key features the phone brings are 65W fast charging, 64MP main camera, and a 6.55” AMOLED with 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.
The price of the 8/128 GB phone is THB16,990, which translates to $570 or €465.
Ericsson firmly believes in the need to revise the model of implementation and management of cellular networks with the arrival of 5G: exploiting the cloud will create networks that are much more agile and secure, as well as less expensive to implement and maintain
by Riccardo Robecchi published on 18 December 2020 , at 17: 21 in the TLC and Mobile channel Ericsson 5G
The real, disruptive novelty of 5G is not seen. The result, however, is extremely tangible. If for 3G and 4G the innovations were mainly those perceived by users, for example through increasingly higher connection speeds, the most substantial changes for 5G are behind the scenes and include a new paradigm based on software and the use of the cloud. The result is not only an increase in connection speed, but also greater agility on the part of operators and the possibility for subscribers to take advantage of services that were simply not possible before. Ericsson takes stock of the situation and explains why the evolution of 5G is closely linked to the cloud.
5G Core is cloud native
Cellular networks can be divided into two: on the one hand, the access network , or the ” set of radio cells to which the various devices such as smartphones are connected; on the other hand the heart of the network , consisting of all those elements that interconnect the various cells and which they allow them to connect with the rest of the world. In the official English specification it is called 5G Core and this is the name we will keep.
In all previous generations, including 4G, the core component of the network was mainly carried out on specialized equipment. On the other hand, 5G brings a breath of fresh air to this market, as it will be based on generic hardware on which the software that virtualizes the functions runs that once were the domain of dedicated machines, allowing to exploit a more open ecosystem and where products from multiple brands can be leveraged while maintaining intercompatibility. All this leads to lower costs, greater agility and choice, greater competition and the possibility of offering new features.
To give a practical example, think of dedicated networks : the cost of these solutions has always been affordable only for large companies. With 5G, network function virtualisation network function virtualisation are used , NFV) and software-defined networks ( software-defined networks , SDN), thanks to which it is possible to implement the network slicing , or the division of the network into slices with different characteristics depending on the type of application and the customer. It is therefore possible to offer a network with specific characteristics for the individual corporate customer: for example, the network can be focused on minimizing latency in the case of connected industrial machinery and dedicated to the specific customer.
In this context is part of the cloud , which is already revolutionizing all other sectors. 5G Core is cloud native , i.e. it is built using cloud technologies – in other words, it is conceived and designed to take advantage of typical cloud technologies such as containers. If we combine the ability of these technologies to evolve rapidly and offer high availability with the functions of the network, we obtain a system capable of responding quickly to changes , of automate the management of many of the functions thus increasing efficiency, of offering new features without the need to purchase new hardware.
Nature cloud native of the networks implies that it is possible to offer a much greater robustness than before , combining it with unprecedented scalability that allows operators to provide the necessary services always, regardless of the growth of network.
However these changes require a complete overhaul of the operators’ networks : a long process e expensive that will take years to complete. For this reason, many network equipment manufacturers, such as Ericsson, are proposing a pragmatic approach that allows operators to exploit new technologies alongside existing ones . Ericsson calls its solution “5G Core dual mode”, because it can be used both in a purely cloud environment and in a hybrid one where traditional solutions are still present.
With 5G more complexity, but greater automation
There is no doubt that 5G introduces a complexity of much greater scope than in the past . However, the advantage of using cloud technologies lies in the possibility of introducing automation into the equation: in this way it is possible to manage complexity by containing costs and increasing efficiency.
The concept of automation may appear abstract, but it is not. “Automation” means being able to scale resources according to needs automatically, thus reacting to changes in the needs of the network in real time; it means being able to automatically carry out checks on functionality and repairs of faults , in a much shorter time than now; means being able to update elements of the network without affecting its functionality in any way, thus providing a higher level of service and security.
This need to introduce automation requires, however, a complete paradigm shift in the way the network is managed . It is not just a matter of a technological change, but a broader shift towards a new mentality that requires new skills, new ways of working and new processes. All of these things take time and investment, as well as overcoming major challenges, but the end result is an overcoming of classic silo structures in favor of more agile and service-oriented structures.
Last but not least, the fact that we rely on automation also has positive implications for safety . We are not only talking about the possibility of taking more effective threat detection measures, but also about designing the whole network that is more based on security principles and the use of security solutions that can scale much better with the evolve the network. Also in this case it is possible to take advantage of automation functions that allow operators to guarantee a much higher level of security than in the past: Ericsson’s solutions, for example, allow the entire network to be covered with safety functions integrated in the network devices. , such as a firewall integrated into the gateways.
5G and cloud: not a distant future, but a path starting today
It might seem that we are talking about topics that will only be current in several years, but this is not the case: the scenario described is current, so much so that TIM and Ericsson have successfully tested its implementation in the TIM laboratories in Turin. The success of this first experiment has shown that the promises of new technologies to offer much more than previous generations are well founded.
However, it will take some time for operators to make this change of perspective and implement these new technologies. The old saying states that who gets off to a good start is half the battle and never as in this case is it true: the first stone of change must be laid now, otherwise the risk is to start too late to implement a revolution that starts from foundations that must be new .
BMW makes the development of its new vehicle operating system a top priority. To this end, the Bavarian car manufacturer has created a new department called “Digital Car”, which now reports directly to the development department. Since October there are 4000 programmers and employees with a successor for the current 2018 introduced OS7 busy, reports the Handelsblatt.
Strength across software As one The effort has to be called a show of strength, because a wide variety of systems are currently still being used in parallel, which often only take on one function of the vehicle and usually come from the supplier of the component in question. BMW is now trying to write an overarching software that should be used to control as many functions as possible.
It should also be ready for installation without a predecessor, so to speak before the group launches its first battery-electric iX model 2021 on the market. There will also be even more control than in conventional cars, due to new functions and extended operation via voice and screens and, last but not least, autonomous driving functions at level 3, including the possibility of expanding them. In addition, it should be ensured that the operating system can be kept completely up-to-date in all of its branches. As with the current OS7, this should be done “over-the-air”, with the possibility of accelerating the whole thing using the 5G cellular standard, wherever it is already available.
Google’s platform is out of the question The operating system will essentially run with Linux, but it will be able to output the user interfaces of Google’s Android services. This is important because customers expect their smartphones to be easily integrated into the car. How far BMW would like to push the embedding is, according to the Handelsblatt, an open question, so although one is thinking about the consideration of the “Android-Automotive-Open-Source-Platform”, the takeover of “Google Automotive Services” would go too far for BMW . The car should continue to be perceived as a BMW in its operation at all times.
With 5-nm and Snapdragon 800 5G, Qualcomm can compete in arms equal with its direct competitors, unleashing very high results with the main test suites for Android. Here are the results of the first benchmarks
by Nino Grasso published 18 December 2020 , at 15: 31 in the Telephony channel Qualcomm Snapdragon
Qualcomm usually invites tech journalists to an annual event, usually in conjunction with the launch of the new flagship mobile chipsets of the Snapdragon family, within which it is It is possible to test the new processors through prototype devices that will not be marketed.
This year due to the pandemic in progress it was not possible to organize the event, however the company has disclosed the first results of the most popular benchmarks performed on the Snapdragon Mobile Platform 888 5G . The tests have been launched three times, and show the capabilities of the platform on a general level, CPU, GPU and Artificial Intelligence.
Snapdragon 888 5G in pills
In short, Snapdragon 888 is designed with a new 5-nm production process , and is based on completely new components compared to Snapdragon 865. Specifically, we find a CPU with 8 Kryo cores 680 which should guarantee the 25% more performance than the previous generation with an improved efficiency of 25 %. The 8 cores use a similar configuration as the predecessor: 1 core reaches the maximum frequency of 2, 84 GHz, 3 cores are limited to 2, 42 GHz and finally the 4 cores the rest are clocked at 1, 80 GHz.
On the graphic side we find the proprietary GPU Adreno 660 which promises the 35% higher graphics performance with 20% higher, also ensuring superior graphic rendering through image enhancement features applicable in real time. Then we have support for Variable Rate Shading, a new dedicated engine for Artificial Intelligence (Hexagon 780), the new ISP Spectra 580 and, you cannot miss it, a new modem 5G X 60 proprietary , compatible with Sub6 and mmWave frequency bands.
For further information on the processor specifications, please refer to our complete article at this address.
Snapdragon 888 5G, the results of first benchmarks
But how does this new processor fare in the most usual tests on Android? To give an initial answer to the question is the same Qualcomm, which has provided us a series of results that we report below . The benchmarks were refined with a terminal configured with 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM, 512 GB of storage, one battery of 3. 780 mAh and a Full HD + display (2340 x 1080 pixels) with diagonal of 6, 65 “and refresh rate equal to 120 Hz.
As you can see from the graph just published, the Snapdragon results 888 5G looks very promising. On AnTuTu it got a value of 735439 to the third iteration of the test: it is of a score that – if placed in relation to those we have obtained us during our product tests – proves superior to both Apple A 14 Bionic (the SoC of the latest iPhones), both compared to Kirin 9000 (installed on Mate 40 Pro). It is clear, however, that it would be appropriate to test the different technologies on equal terms, but the results could vary by a few percentage points (probably irrelevant) compared to our tests.
The gap with competition is reduced with Geekbench 5.0.2 , where Snapdragon 888 5G records a single-core score of 1135 and of 3794 in multi-core . This is a result in line with that of Kirin 9000 (we have achieved 3704 points in multi-core and 1020 in single-core), but lower than that recorded by the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max (which exceed, respectively, the 4000 points in multi-core ei 1500 points in single-core).
GPU side, on the other hand, Adreno 660 managed to generate an average of 86 fps with the Aztec Ruins Vulkan test (Normal Tier) in Full HD and 169 fps with Manhattan 3.0 in Full HD (in the latter case a smartphone with Snapdragon 865 should generate approximately 120 fps). Qualcomm also evaluated the performance of the integrated Neural Engine on the new Snapdragon 888 5G: the score with AITuTu is very interesting , equal to 911883, about double what we might expect from a device with Snapdragon 865.
As we have already said these are only the first results of Qualcomm’s Mobile Platform flagship for the 2021, and were published by the same manufacturer. We will have to wait for the first months of 2021 to get your hands on a ready device for marketing, and to test all the qualities. Those shown by Qualcomm were however very interesting, in line with the other proposals of the competition of the same generation, and sometimes even higher. We will certainly know more once we get our hands on the first products with the new American flagship SoC.
(Pocket-lint) – Gaming mice are the high-end devices of the mouse world. They are designed to be more accurate, offer a more comfortable experience and are built to last – as gamers are likely to spend more time with their mouse than anyone else.
Top-of-the-range gaming mice also have multiple buttons, highly adjustable dots per inch (DPI) accuracy and a mass of settings that include everything from custom lighting to macros for specific games.
However, finding the right mouse for you can be tricky. People hold their mouse in different ways and have different sized hands that make purchasing a tricky business. A wide mouse with thumb rests and grips might be perfect for someone with large hands, but others might find a small and sleek mouse preferable, both in terms of fit and agility.
We run through a variety of gaming mice to see which are the best around, taking into account all the things gamers love most – RGB, responsiveness, number of buttons and, of course, value for money.

The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro is a true work of art and gaming precision. This is an ergonomically designed mouse with a comfortable textured grip that fits perfectly in the hand. It comes with a swappable side grip which keeps your fingers and thumbs off the gaming surface and allows for accurate mouse movements.
It’s wireless by design – capable of connecting either via wireless or low-latency Bluetooth. A USB wireless transceiver included in the box ensures an instant and responsive connection to your gaming machine via ultra-fast 1ms 2.4GHz wireless. But you can take the Dark Core RGB Pro with you and quickly connect to any other machine that supports Bluetooth in a flash.
As standard, this mouse can manage up to 50-hours of gaming on a single charge. If that doesn’t sound like enough then there’s also the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE – a version that’s compatible with the MM1000 Qi wireless charging mat meaning you can keep the mouse going and going by popping it on the charging zone when not in use. The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE is Qi capable – so not only can it be charged on the mat, but also with any other Qi charging pad you happen to possess. The standard version is not.
Using Corsair’s iCUE software you can do everything from changing the lighting to programming buttons and more. Here, you can customise the Dark Core’s nine main lighting zones with a number of different effects that including static, rainbow, colour pulse and colour shift or choose instant lighting to set the same colour across multiple Corsair devices with a single click.
The Dark Core RGB Pro has been upgraded over the previous model, with more RGB zones including a lighting bar under the thumb buttons that is split into sections and can be individually tweaked.
Pocket-lint
This mouse supports up to 18,000 max DPI switchable on-the-fly with the buttons on the top. You can change between three main DPI modes which can be customised in the CUE software.
You can also add to your DPI options by changing one of the eight programmable buttons into a “Sniper” button. This is a fourth ultra-low DPI level for tiny and accurate movements. This needs to be pressed and held, but means you can quickly get back to your standard DPI much more easily too.
High-performance Omron switches provide a lightning-fast response and continue the theme of precision and accuracy. Easily accessible thumb buttons mean you can masterfully activate any setting or macro you want with a small movement of your hand too. Corsair has upped the polling rate of the new Dark Core RGB Pro too. So it’s accurate, responsive and agile.
1/10Pocket-lint
Verdict
The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro is a solid all-rounder. It’s a multi-button mouse with great battery life, a comfortable design and brilliant specs too.
It’s superbly agile, accurate and customisable too. The highlights of this mouse include wired, wireless and Bluetooth connectivity options that make it easy to use on multiple machines with ease. We also really like the dual side grip setup which means your fingers are very rarely interfering with movement and you can keep on gaming until your heart’s content.
Best weight adjustable gaming mouse

Logitech G502 Lightspeed
squirrel_widget_148838
Ergonomically textured thumb rest
114-gram standard weight with extra adjustable weights
Powerplay compatible
Lightspeed wireless technology
11 programmable buttons with hyper-fast scroll wheel
Logitech G Hub compatible for lighting controls, macros and various customisation options
25,600 max DPI, on-the-fly DPI switching via buttons with four custom settings and DPI shift mode
11 programmable buttons customisable with macros, actions and G-shift settings
Up to 60 hours battery life, fast charge capable
This is a mouse that’s not only crammed full of all the usual options, but also has a customisable weighting setup that allows you to adjust its heft to your personal preference.
Logitech’s G502 Lightspeed is a real looker, but it’s much more than that. It’s very much a right-handed mouse, with a mass of easy-access buttons on the left side and very little catering to lefties.
It’s incredibly light and nimble in the hand. It is also customisable in various ways. This mouse comes with 16 grams of extra weights that can be installed within the mouse via hidden flaps in the underside.
Lift the flap with the little G on it and you get access to a hidey-hole which is perfect for storing the USB wireless dongle when you need to travel with the mouse. The underneath of that flap also has room for some of the weights. You can install the two 4 gram weights here and the rest go under the other flap which surrounds the sensor.
Pocket-lint
The G502 uses Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless technology to ensure it maintains a low-latency and reliable connection constantly and never lets you down. It also has fast charge capabilities which mean you can get around two and a half hours of battery life from a five-minute charge this way.
The G502 Lightspeed can manage as much as 60 hours of battery life and is also compatible with the Powerplay wireless charging system so it never needs plugging in if you splash out some extra cash.
One of our favourite features of this mouse is the mouse wheel. This is a hyper-fast scroll wheel similar to the one we saw on the Logitech G903. Click a button and you either have a tactile mouse wheel that gives a clicky feedback each time your scroll or an ultra-smooth, ultra-fast wheel that just spins and spins. This setup has a variety of potential uses, but is brilliant for just smashing through long webpages and documents in the blink of an eye. It’s also incredibly satisfying to use.
The Logitech G502 Lightspeed is controlled by Logitech G-Hub – a free download for Windows and Mac that allows you to tweak the various settings on the mouse and customise to your liking.
From within it, you can control the lighting of the two main RGB capable zones, adjust DPI levels, report rates and customise the setup of the buttons. This mouse has 11 different buttons, two of which are sideways presses on the mouse wheel, and they can all be tweaked in here. You can set specific commands (like Windows shortcuts), individual keypresses, macros or actions within this software. It’s possible to do things like assign a button press to start/stop OBS recordings for example. This system is incredibly flexible.
Then there’s G-Shift mode. This lets you add an additional action, button customisation or macro to any button on the mouse. This is then accessible when you activate G-Shift mode (via a key or button press). Essentially you then have 22 buttons instead of 11. Though you will have to remember which is programmed with what.
1/10Pocket-lint
Verdict
The G502 Lightspeed is one of our favourite gaming mice when it comes to customisation options. We love many of the little design features of this mouse that make a big difference. The ultra-smooth scroll wheel, the mass of programmable buttons, the reliable wireless connection and the utterly incredible battery life.
This mouse does come with a hefty price tag and it is a tad smaller in the hand than other mice we’ve tested, but its almost certainly worth adding to your shortlist if you’re shopping for a new gaming mouse. It’s bound not to disappoint.

Customised button mapping, surface calibration settings and macro settings
18,000 DPI max, 10 programmable buttons
1000Hz/500Hz/250Hz/125Hz report rates
We’ve seen a fair few gaming mice with RGB lighting, some are in-your-face, some are more subtle and understated.
The Corsair Nightsword verges on the latter, but with multiple lighting zones and numerous other features that make it appealing.
Pocket-lint
The Corsair Nightsword is a brilliantly designed feature-packed mouse that has plenty going for it. We’ve suggested that it’s the best RGB mouse, but it’s much more than that. This is an affordable gaming mouse with all the bells and whistles.
It sports a contoured shape, a rubberised textured finish and a design for palm grip specifically for right-handed FPS and MOBA players. Another highlight is the tunable weight system, with six weights (three 4.5g and three 2.8g) that can be placed in different layouts in the underside compartment.
Add to that a design that includes 10 programmable buttons, with DPI switching buttons and multiple easy-access thumb buttons too.
For RGB lighting lovers, there are four lighting zones on this mouse – the logo, the rear, front and mouse wheel. There’s also a DPI indicator that can be tweaked in terms of colour too. All with the usual Corsair RGB goodness.
Pocket-lint
The Nightsword has 11 programmable buttons, as well as the ability to switch DPI on the fly. Set three different DPI levels to switch between, as well as custom level for “sniper” mode that can be engaged by pressing and holding one of the thumb buttons to drop into an uber low DPI level for precise movement.
1/10Pocket-lint
Verdict
The Corsair Nightsword is a fantastic little mouse that’s packed full of features but without excessive cost which is refreshing.
It’s comfortable to use all day, whether working or gaming or both. Customisable lighting, buttons and weight systems round off a brilliant package that anyone will love. Unless, of course, you’re a lefty.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate
squirrel_widget_177967
Customisable scroll wheel resistance
Replaceable Multi-function paddle
Gaming-grade tactile scroll wheel with customisable resistance
Textured grips and an ergonomic grip
2.4 Ghz HyperSpeed Wireless technology
Razer Synapse 3 compatible
20,000 max DPI adjustable in five different levels
On-the-fly DPI switching via buttons with sensitivity clutch too
11 programmable buttons
The Basilisk Ultimate is a pinnacle of Razer’s design – a wireless mouse with multiple buttons, a nifty charging base, some colourful RGB lighting and interesting features too.
This mouse is packed full of features including a removable multi-function paddle that doubles as an oh-so-satisfying thumb button. This paddle can be customised within the Synapse software, but as default works as a sensitivity clutch. Press and hold the paddle in the middle of a game and you get a temporary reduction in DPI levels for accurate sniping or tiny mouse movements. Once you let go again you’re back to whatever level you were using before.
Pocket-lint
The other fun feature is the customisable scroll wheel. On the underside of the mouse, there’s a tiny wheel you can roll to change the way the mouse wheel works. Roll it one way and the scroll wheel becomes smooth and fast, roll it the other and you get a clicky feedback with every tiny movement of the wheel. This is a nice little customisation option that we’ve not seen elsewhere.
That mouse wheel is also sideways clickable and this combination of buttons, along with things like the DPI buttons meaning you get a total of 11 programmable buttons with even more when you engage Hypershift.
This is a wireless gaming mouse with a focus on comfort and usability. When not in use you can pop it on the accompanying charging base to refill the juice. That dock also has a USB passthrough meaning you can plug the wireless dongle directly into it, removing the need for using two ports on your PC for one mouse.
Easy access DPI switching buttons, wonderfully contoured and textured thumb rest and brilliantly ergonomic design make this mouse incredibly comfortable and pleasant to use.
The Razer Basilisk Ultimate uses Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless technology that provides accurate, lag-free wireless gaming goodness. It’s also designed to run for as much as 100 hours with the lighting turned off – though we feel that might be a little optimistic under normal use, but the dock makes it easy enough to charge anyway.
This mouse also has an insane 14 customisable lighting zones for you to play around within the software.
From Synapse you also get access to tweak the mouse buttons, adjust DPI levels and more. You can set up several different profiles, with five on-board memory profiles on the mouse you can switch between using a small button located underneath.
You can also choose levels of DPI switching in five varying levels up to 20,000 max. Set stages here and you can then switch between them using the two buttons on top near the mouse wheel.
We enjoyed this mouse, particularly for its thumb buttons and mass of customisable settings. The textured grips, ergonomic design and thumb rest make it comfortable and capable during gaming sessions too.
With found the Razer Basilisk to be fantastic for FPS sessions, but also great for everyday use, surfing, browsing and working too. It’s really accurate and the wireless connection never let us down. Meaning we could never blame our tools when we failed to claim a Battle Royale victory or outshoot an opponent.
1/19Pocket-lint
Verdict
If you’re looking for something with a mass of buttons, plenty of programmability options and a stylish design, then look no further.
The Razer Basilisk Ultimate is easily one of the most comfortable and flexible wireless gaming mice we’ve tried.
A ridiculous battery life, snazzy customisable lighting and a convenient charging dock certainly round off an awesome gaming package.

It sports all the usual things you’d expect from a decent gaming mouse. 10 buttons, 16,000 max DPI, onboard memory for profiles and more. But the highlight is the design. Like other R.A.T. mice, this mouse is extendable and ergonomically crafted to be a great fit and one that can be customised to your needs.
It also comes with swappable rests for both sides of the mouse, extra palm rests, pinkie rests and thumb rests that can be swapped out in a matter of seconds. The feet can also be changed and there are even different scroll wheel covers included in the box as well, so you can change how that feels.

Verdict
The result of all this is a highly customisable mouse that can be tweaked to fit your particular needs. A real eye-catcher with multiple buttons and a multitude of customisation options. Perfect for gamers who aren’t sure what mouse is for them.

Razer Naga Pro
squirrel_widget_3658270
20,000 DPI
19 customisable buttons
2 RGB lighting zones
117g weight
Swappable button sideplates
650 IPS, 50G acceleration
MMO and MOBA gamers are generally a different breed of player. They’re often found trying to micromanage and pull off all sorts of moves with multiple macros and complex button presses. If you’re that sort of gamer there are a few mice out there for you. But what if you like MMO gaming but also like shooters? Well, the Razer Naga Pro maybe just what you need.
This mouse seemingly tries to cater to all with an interesting design that not only has everything you’d expect from a gaming mouse, but also has swappable side buttons meaning you can change the thumb button access depending on what you’re playing.
Two side buttons for FPS or 12 for MMO/MOBAs the choice is yours.
Pocket-lint
These side plates are held on with magnets, so they’re easy to snap off and on at a whim, to suit your needs. You can then customise the buttons within the Razer Synapse software, setting macros, button presses, actions and more. With Razer’s Hypershift tech, you can also assign a secondary button action when in that mode too, making the number of programmable buttons likely more than anyone would need.
The Naga Pro thrills in other areas too. One of those is its ability to connect in wired, Bluetooth or wireless mode. In Bluetooth, with RGB lighting off you can get as much as 150 hours of battery life out of it too.
Throw in five onboard memory profiles, five custom DPI levels, 100% PTFE feet and a Pixart Optical sensor and you’ve got a real gaming powerhouse.

Verdict
The Razer Naga Pro is a fantastic option for gamers who need a different mouse setup for particular games but don’t want to own multiple mice and the expense that comes with that. It’s all-singing, all-dancing and generally fantastic.

Professional gamers will tell you that weight is all that matters. A lightweight mouse is easier to move swiftly, even on lower (more accurate) DPI settings.
That’s where the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model 0 comes in. This mouse weighs in at just 67 grams and delivers speed in other areas too.
It’s designed with slick PTFE feet known as G-Skates and a lightweight flexible USB cable that makes the entire thing nimble and agile.
Pocket-lint
It sports a honeycomb design and some seriously snazzy RGB lighting thanks to the lighting strips on either side which send a satisfying glow through the inside of the mouse.
Simple software allows you to adjust DPI levels (switchable via the button underneath), adjust lighting, tweak polling rate, lift off distance and more.
1/8Pocket-lint
Verdict
The Model O is a surprisingly affordable gaming mouse with fantastic style and gaming prowess. The lightweight design makes it nimble and agile and it’s incredible feature-rich for such an affordable mouse too. It might be tough to keep clean in the long run, but there’s no denying it’s a looker and a great bit of kit.

The Endgame Gear XM1 might not look like anything special, but don’t let that fool you. It’s understated in its gaming power but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked. It’s accurate, responsive and swift too. Thought has clearly gone into the design and we love the simple touches like the ultra-flexible cable which doesn’t tug or snag on the desk.
It’s affordable and serious. If you don’t care about the thrills of RGB and more premium mice and just want something that does the job, then you’re in for treat.

If you have smaller hands or prefer a diddy mouse to do your gaming with then the Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini may well be the device for you. This is a titchy little mouse which is designed to be lightweight, comfortable and agile too.
It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of other gaming mice on this list, but it makes up for that in other ways.
It weighs just 62 grams, sports six programmable buttons (more with Razer Hypershift) and is surprisingly nifty. We also like the optional anti-slip grips included in the box which make the mouse easier to grip and meaner looking too. Small mouse, small price, big personality. What’s not to like?
We’d recommend combining it with the Razer Gigantus V2 for the hilarious joy of using a tiny mouse on a gigantic mouse mat.

squirrel_widget_235421
11 programmable buttons (including side slung additional mouse wheel)

The Mad Catz R.A.T. 6+ is one of the most bonkers looking mice you’re ever likely to see. It’s also feature-rich for this price too. It boasts an adjustable weight system, multiple programmable buttons and is even able to extend in size as well.
We feel like this mouse is probably the perfect choice for those who aren’t too sure what size mouse they need or gamers who vary their grip between palm, claw or finger-tip. A comfortable thumb rest, easy access buttons and extendable length make this mouse ergonomically enjoyable.
Add in all the usual features you’d expect from a decent gaming mouse like DPI switching, profiles, macros and customisable buttons and you’ve certainly got a great package. The R.A.T. 6+ might not be the best mouse on our list, but it’s certainly worth considering.
We got a good look at the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G over the weekend and now YouTuber Random Stuff 2 is back with an “unofficial review” of the upcoming Galaxy flagship a month ahead of its announcement.
The short video highlights the flat 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with its slim bezels and centered punch-hole cutout. The panel does look to have slimmer bezels than the outgoing Galaxy S20+ which is especially noticeable in the chin area. We also get a thorough look of the sides and back of the device which reveals the triple camera setup confirmed to carry 12MP main + 64MP telephoto + 12MP ultrawide sensors. The telephoto module comes with 3x optical zoom.
There are a few sample shots too showcasing Samsung’s SuperHDR prowess next to shots from an iPhone 12 Pro. The reviewer also mentions the 4,500 mAh battery manages to last a whole day despite heavy usage. He also confirmed the two storage variants, namely 128GB and 256GB and that his version was powered by Snapdragon 888 chipset.
Check out the full video below and let us know what you think of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S21+ in the comments.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was left out when the main S20 trio started receiving the One UI 3.0 + Android 11 update – not surprising, given that the FE update was scheduled for February. But this is a surprise, the update is now rolling out in Russia.
To be clear, this update (G780FXXU1BTL1) is for the Exynos-powered 4G version of the phone. However, Samsung doesn’t sell the Snapdragon/5G version in Russia, so don’t read too much into that.
There tends to be a short trial period where Samsung rolls out an update in one region only and if everything goes smoothly, it releases it worldwide.
Which is exactly what happened with the One UI 3.0 update for the Galaxy Note20 (and 5G and the Galaxy Note20 Ultra (and 5G). AT&T units got it first and now the update is rolling out to phones in Slovakia. It will probably expand to other regions soon enough.
Besides bringing Android 11, One UI 3.0 has multiple improvements to the functions and visual polish of the interface. The update also includes the December 2020 security patch for both the Galaxy S20 FE and the Note20s.
Check if you’ve received a notification for the OTA update – it could be a few days before it reaches you, so be patient. And if you’re not patient, you can follow the Source links to manually download the new firmware.
Oppo just announced the first three of the Reno5 family, and it’s likely going to be a large family. How do we know? Well, there are a total of eight Reno4s in our database, and it’s one of them that we’ll be presenting to you today – the Reno4 Z 5G.
The most affordable of the 5G-enabled 4th-gen Renos, the Z 5G retails for €300 – that’s less than half the Reno4 Pro 5G’s official asking price and roughly two-thirds of the Reno4 5G’s price tag.
The Reno4 Z 5G is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 800 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 765Gs in the other two. Still, it’s not really grounds for concern – a close relative to that SoC, the 800U we got to see recently, performed admirably. Another moderately polarizing bit could be the 6.57-inch LCD. The OLED lovers might scoff at the choice of panel technology, but this one does come with a 120Hz refresh rate. Which brings us to the next point – a 4,000mAh battery with a 120Hz LCD? Sounds a little troubling, but we’ll see about that.
Three proper cameras and three sort-of cameras made their way to the Reno4 Z 5G. There’s a 48MP primary unit on the back, joined by an 8MP ultra-wide, and then you get a 2MP macro module and a 2MP unit for depth sensing. Another one of those is keeping company to the 16MP selfie camera in a pill-shaped cutout in the display’s top left corner.
For the 4 Z 5G, Oppo chose the usual Reno presentation – a teal sleeve holds the white cardboard box. The contents are fairly standard, too, though the 18W adapter is a bit on the lower end of the power spectrum – it’s certainly no 65W SuperVOOC 2.0. If you can put a positive spin on that, it would be that the USB-A-to-C cable isn’t proprietary, unlike on the higher-wattage systems.
Also included is a set of earbuds with a 3.5mm plug – the Reno4 Z 5G is nicely old-school in this respect, unlike the other 2 5G-capable Reno4s. You’ll find one more useful accessory in the bundle is a protective case, a transparent silicone one.
There is new information on the network about the upcoming medium from the Samsung stable. I’m talking about the Galaxy A model 72 5G, the direct successor to Samsung Galaxy A 71 5G. We had the opportunity to test the predecessor in the variant without a 5G modem, which differed in several respects from the higher version, while both phones presented almost the same level. As the medium-higher price range, especially in the performance of the South Korean manufacturer, can interest customers, it is worth taking a look at what the Samsung Galaxy A model will have to offer 72 5G. The device will debut in the first half of the year 2021, but today we can call it a potential hit.
Thanks to the latest reports, we were able to get to know the detailed look and partial technical specification of the Samsung Galaxy A smartphone 72 5G. The progress against the Galaxy A 71 5G is really visible.
TOP 10 smartphones with 5G – we chose the most profitable models
A mid-range smartphone that looks like a premium product? The models of the Samsung Galaxy A7x series present this level and cleverly try to imitate the appearance of the flagships. It will be no different with the Galaxy A model 72 5G. The well-known leakster OnLeaks published detailed renderings presenting the style of the device, thanks to which we can see the likely design. The aluminum frame will connect the 6.7-inch Super AMOLED glass screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixel refresh rate 60 Hz with plastic backs. This will be a so-called glasstick.
Test Samsung Galaxy A 71: How much is missing from the flagship ?
The camera on the back panel resembles the module available in the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 with three full lenses and one additional lens. The main unit will most likely receive a matrix with a resolution of 64 MP. Interestingly, a device with dimensions 165 x 77, 4 x 8.1 mm will be equipped with a headphone jack, which is used less and less. There is no certainty about the components intended for Samsung Galaxy A 71 5G, but I bet that the basic configuration will receive a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750 G or Exynos 980, 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of data memory. The battery in the predecessor had a capacity 4500 mAh, but I think that in A 72 5G this value will increase.

During the Computex 2021 International Online Press Conference, it was announced that Computex 2021 will return to its physical format from June 1 to 4, 2021. Additionally, it was also announced that the tradeshow will take advantage of AI to create a smart Online-Merge-Offline exhibition platform to gather the tech community by breaking “barriers and limitations”.
Computex 2020 was planned to occur in June, but it had to be rescheduled for September due to COVID-19. Organizers have previously said that the return of Computex to its physical format was expected in 2021, but there were some uncertainties.
In 2021, Computex main themes are 5G, AI & IoT, Edge Computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Cyber Security, Gaming, and Innovations & Startups. Computex 2021 will use AI to overcome the limitations raised by COVID-19 pandemic. In collaboration with Appier, Computex’s exhibitors will deliver “hyper-personalized experiences to event participants” thanks to Appier’s expertise in AI-driven technologies.
Registration for Computex 2021 is already live, but foreign attendees and exhibitors might have some restrictions. The organization hasn’t detailed those yet though.
Computex Taipei 2021 will be held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre, Hall 1 and 2, and at Taipei International Convention Centre (TICC), from June 1 to 4.
KitGuru says: Things can still change depending on how well COVID-19 is handled in 2021 but for now, it looks like Computex will be going ahead as an in-person event.

Hypothetically the next 14 January Samsung will unveil its new Galaxy S series to the world 21. Three new smartphones ready to compete in the 2021 for the supremacy of the mobile market. We already know practically everything about these devices that change appearance and some hardware components. We then tell you everything we already know.
by Bruno Mucciarelli published 18 December 2020 , at 01: 51 in the Telephony channel Samsung
No official date but practically everyone is betting that the next 14 January, Samsung, will present the new series Galaxy S 21 . The smartphones that, like every year, fight in the tough battle of the high-end mobile market seem to be more ready than ever and the South Korean company seems determined to anticipate the times and therefore to present all three models already at the beginning of January, with a month earlier than last year. Yes, there will be three Galaxy S models 21 that Samsung will reveal to the world and you are practically sure about this at 99%. Samsung Galaxy S 21, Galaxy S 21 + and the most powerful Galaxy S 21 Ultra who, as usual, will put his own at the photographic sector level to excel over the others.
Three models that will see an important design change this year. If in fact the company will previously opt for an appearance similar to that of last year with Galaxy S 20 , here is that later the photographic sector will change trying to avoid at most a so-called “ stamp ” effect but also aesthetically integrating the photographic sensors in the body of the smartphone. Samsung thought about it and did it by creating a structure where to place the sensors that follows the lines of the body in a more or less single piece. But what are the technical characteristics of these new smartphones?
Samsung Galaxy S 21, S 21 + and S 21 Ultra: what will they be like?
As mentioned the new Samsung Galaxy S 21 will be distinguishable in three different models: Galaxy S 21, Galaxy S 21 + and Galaxy S 21 Ultra. Their differences, as we shall see, will not so much concern their aesthetic appearance since leaving out the number of photographic sensors on the rear, they will have no diversification except for The dimensions. Three different models that will also have different colors and also finishing materials. In particular:
Galaxy S 21 will be presented with an aluminum body in the frame but polycarbonate back. It will have four different colors (although we do not know if they will all arrive in Italy) and will be Phantom Violet, Phantom Gray, Phantom White, Phantom Pink
Galaxy S 21 + will have, in addition to the aluminum frame, a back completely covered with glass and will have three different colors ( even if we do not know if they will all arrive in Italy) which will be Phantom Silver, Phantom Black, Phantom Violet
Galaxy S 21 Ultra will also be with an aluminum frame and glass back and will have a double color ie Phantom Silver, Phantom Black
Aesthetically Samsung Galaxy S 21 and S 21 + they should both have a flat display unlike Galaxy S 21 Ultra which will see it slightly curved on the sides but less than in past years. If in the front the news as mentioned there are not many since the edges are reduced and the Infinity-O screen with central camera in a hole is practically the same as what was already seen with the last Galaxy S 20, it is on the back that we find a design never seen before. Here the cameras are highlighted by a module in contrast with the body , perhaps even more evident with some colors than it is with others.
The real top of the range that is the Galaxy S 21 Ultra , shown in the version Phantom Silver is instead characterized by a powerful and large photographic sector. In this case the rear module expands in size due to the presence of numerous modules and becomes a little more bulky. The module protrudes from the body even if it tries to become one with the frame of the smartphone. Here, however, there is also the sensor from 108 MP and a periscopic camera for distant shots.
But what do we know in terms of technical specifications?
The technical characteristics need to be clarified. In this case, in fact, we must start from the two less important versions, namely Galaxy S 21 and S 21 + because both will have a Full HD + display with refresh rate at 120 Hz but not adaptive. Dimensionally they will be 6.2 “the Galaxy S 18 and 6.7 “the Galaxy S 21 +. Then there is the Galaxy S 21 Ultra that detaches the others with a display LTPO WQHD + from 6.8 “ with adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz and even a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits with contrast of 3. 00 0 . 00 0: 1. In this case the support for the S Pen will be present for the first time even if this will not find space in the body and will be sold separately.
At the processor level, the new smartphones of the South Korean company will always see two different alternatives: the Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 , both with support for 5G networks. Galaxy S only 21 Ultra will be compatible with WiFi 6E. Clearly for Italy there will be the version with Exynos and this could still be a negative point compared to those who would rather have the best with the Snapdragon. We will see if the Exynos version 2100 has improved.
Samsung Galaxy S 21 and S 21 + will have a photographic compartment consisting of three rear cameras: 12 MP for the main sensor, 64 MP for telephoto and 12 MP for ultra wide angle . We find the news on the Galaxy S version 21 Ultra with a main sensor from 108 2nd generation MP then an ultra wide angle sensor from 12 MP and two telephoto lenses: one that will allow 3x optical zoom and one for zooms 10 x optical. There will be news from this point of view with telephoto sensors with pixels wider than 130% and dual pixel AF technology for both. On Ultra there will also be the laser for autofocus. Finally on all a front camera for selfies from 40 MP .
As for the battery there will not be many news: 4. 00 0mAh on Galaxy S 21, 4. 800 mAh on Galaxy S 21 + and 5. 00 0mAh on Galaxy S version 21 Ultra, all with recharge at least from 25 W. Clearly there will be the presence of Android 11 already pre-installed with One UI 3.1 custom interface version.
Samsung Galaxy S 21 Series: prices and availability
Up to now nobody had said nothing. In this case, however, a tip arrives from Galaxy Club , a usually reliable Dutch source who decides to bring indiscretion precisely on the official European prices of the three top of the Samsung range. So here are the rumors:
Samsung Galaxy S 21 5G 128 GB: 879 ?? – Italy price possible 929 ??
Samsung Galaxy S 21 + 5G 128 GB: 1. 079 ?? – Italy price possible 1. 129 ??
Samsung Galaxy S 21 Ultra 5G 128 GB: 1. 399 ?? – Price in Italy possible 1. 449 ??
Prices in Italy therefore they will change compared to Europe and we will therefore have to consider paying something more c as always compared to other countries. In fact, the prices could be in line with those of last year but it is possible that the company, given the presence of all models with 5G support, could raise the price bar. For availability instead we speak of the end of January 2021, however, earlier than in the past.
Samsung is it continuing its push to deliver more and more affordable 5G and the Galaxy A32 5G will likely be the Korean maker’s best effort yet. We’ve already seen the A32 5G in detailed renders as well as an FCC listing and now we have a Geekbench test run which revealed the phone is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 720 chipset.
Samsung Galaxy A32 5G Geekbench scorecard
The A32 5G appeared with the same SM-A326B model number as seen before. It managed 477 points in the single-core department and 1,598 multi-core points thanks to the Dimensity 720 5G chipset and 4GB RAM. We can also notice the phone is running Android 11 which matches previous rumors from earlier this month.
We’re expecting a 6.5-inch display with a waterdrop notch and a plastic build all around. The back will house a quad-cam setup with three individually protruding lenses aligned vertically alongside a fourth module that sits flush with the back. The main sensor is said to come in at 48MP while the remaining three are yet to be detailed.
The Galaxy A32 5G will house a side-mounted fingerprint reader on the right-hand side while the bottom comes with a USB-C port flanked by a speaker, microphone and a headphone jack.
Excellent results for TP-Link Italy , which significantly increases turnover thanks also to the reorganization of the supply chain. The company is optimistic for 2021, when it will roll out its new 5G and Wi-Fi 6 solutions.
by Alberto Falchi published 18 December 2020 , at 08: 41 in the Market channel TP-Link
The 2020 was a difficult year for numerous companies, but not for TP-Link , in particular for the Italian office, which saw the its turnover grow by 60% compared to the previous year, passing from 30 million euro to 50 millions. The success is due to the optimization and reorganization of the supply chain and logistic activities, which have made it possible to guarantee the continuity of the service even during the lockdown.
TP-Link: 4G Extender and Router Drive Company Growth
Among the products that have contributed to TP-Link’s rapid growth in Italy are routers, extenders and smart home devices from the TAPO family, but above all 4G routers. All devices that have supported the remote connection needs of families and companies, which have had to quickly react to the situation to continue their activities.
“ The 2020 has been an extremely challenging year but our strategy is giving us satisfaction “- stated Diego Han, Country Manager Italy of TP-Link – “We have strengthened our market leadership, proving not only resilient to the pandemic, but also able to accommodate constantly growing connectivity needs. of high quality, by making sure they were on the shelves without interruption and by developing new ways of communicating with partners and customers, we were able to achieve significant growth that we intend to strengthen in the coming year “.
TP-Link: what awaits us in 2021
TP-Link expects growth will not stop in 2021, always driven by 4G routers, but also by the company’s new 5G solutions , which will be available in the first half of next year. Even the Wi-Fi 6 devices, some of which are already available, will represent an important part of the product portfolio, also due to the growth of IoT solutions, which will require more effective network equipment.
TP-Link expects to grow in both the consumer and professional sectors, with Omada SDN and Agile Solutions , the first designed for the needs of SMEs, the second for those of service providers.
