Telegram introduces Premium subscriptions at $4.99 per month Messaging app Telegram has rolled out Telegram Premium, a monthly subscription service that gives paid users access to exclusive features. The subscription plan has been priced at $4.99 per month (around Rs 389).Report: Apple's iPhone 14 series may use Samsung, BOE and LG OLED displays A market research report from industry analysis firm Omdia says Apple is going to produce four variants for the iPhone 14 - iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max - instead of three, like with the iPhone 13.Xiaomi Pad 5 Design The Xiaomi Pad 5 does a ton of things right, it is well built, has last battery life, delivers decent camera performance, and comes with reliable software. This in itself would be good for a sub-30K tablet. However, the Xiaomi Pad 5 takes things further with a superb display, class-leading performance, and powerful speakers.Former Google contractor claims the company has been infiltrated by a religious cult Kevin Lloyd, an ex-Google contractor, who worked as a video producer for Google Developer Studio (GDS), has claimed that at least 12 members belong to a religious cult and exercise a great deal of influence over the studio. Lloyd identified the "cult" as the Fellowship of Friends. According to NYT, it believes a "higher consciousness can be achieved by embracing fine arts and culture”.The initial sales of Nothing Phone (1) will be done through an invite-only system Through a new video posted on their YouTube channel, Nothing has announced that the initial sale period of their upcoming smartphone, Phone (1), would be limited to invite only. In the video, Nothing says that this will help get the smartphone in the hands of people that "deserve it the most".Oneplus 10r review With a Rs 43,999 price tag, the OnePlus 10R Enhanced Edition costs a pretty penny. But is it worth it? When it comes to performance, visuals, sound, software, design, battery life, and charging speed, the OnePlus 10R is definitely worth the price. However, that isn’t quite the case when you move to optics and build quality. There’s no doubt that the primary focus on the OnePlus 10R is speed, although this comes at the cost of balance.
