Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Review: Can it fulfil users’ expectations
Xiaomi released its Redmi Note 12 series on October 27 in China. This series has 4 models, including Note 12, pro, Pro+, and Explorer Edition. Note 12 is the basic model in the Redmi Note 12 lineup. Although Note 12 serves as a starting point for the Redmi Note 12 series and provides the greatest bargain for certain customers, it is far from a low-end device. It has a few good features with some drawbacks. Let’s take a look at whether Redmi Note 12 can fulfill the expectations of the Xiaomi fans.
Key Features of Xiaomi Redmi Note 12
Design
The Redmi Note 12 is a masterpiece in this area, as Xiaomi has essentially mastered the art of making its phones seem to be flagships. While choices from manufacturers like Nokia and Motorola make a valiant effort, they tend to have a certain clunky feel that Xiaomi continually avoids with its tiny budget phones.
The 6.67-inch screen dominates the front, which has very tiny bezels all the way around. The "chin" has a somewhat larger frame, but even so, it is still just a few centimeters thick. There is very little area utilized for anything other than the screen because of a tiny notch at the very top of the display in the middle.

the dimensions are 165.9 by 76.2 by 8 mm. Weighing 188g Note 12 won’t feel much heavy. It bears dual SIM. IP53 grade splash and dust resistance make the device more user-friendly.
The stylishness is seen on both sides. Even though it is slightly prone to smearing, the smooth plastic is pleasant to hold and gradually slopes toward the corners. A sizable rectangle in the upper left corner perfectly encloses the dual-camera array.
Display
The screen of the Redmi Note 12 is a 6.67-inch OLED device with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 or 409 pixels per inch. It is also capable of 120Hz refresh rates, however, you have to choose this option since 60Hz is the default.

And except for one aspect, it's a great screen. With a volume of 95.8%, it shows a complete spectrum of colors in an accurate and brilliant manner and covers 95.4% of the sRGB gamut. Despite using OLED technology, it still has a good 428cd/m2 brightness level, making it legible unless on the brightest of days. Due to OLED technology, contrast is also excellent.
All of this results in a screen that is on par with others in this price range (and several above it), but there is one peculiar aspect. The text on the menus sometimes drags and appears in two locations at once for a little period of time, making the text look as if it can't keep up with the pace of screen refresh.
Camera
Depending on your perspective, the Redmi Note 12's inclusion of no less than 2 cameras on the rear is impressive—or too ambitious. There is just a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor in addition to the wide 48MP primary camera. The main sensor features a 0.8 nichrome lens size.

On paper, everything seems great, but the pudding is the true test, and to stretch the analogy too far, this dessert is noticeably underdone or more accurately, undersaturated.
On the front side, the Note 12 sports an 8MP wide selfie camera featuring an aperture of f/2.0, with a 1/4" and 1.12µm lens size. The 8MP front-facing camera exhibits the under-saturation issue while taking selfies.
With the main rear camera, you can shoot 1080p footage at 30 or 60fps; while the selfie camera allows you to capture 1080p footage at 30fps.

Performance and Software
Things have been going rather well up until now, but they are about to take a turn for the worst.
The scores gave a rather mixed image of the capabilities of the Qualcomm Snapdragon, despite the fact that the Redmi Note 12 feels absolutely quick while surfing the internet and switching between apps. The processor used is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 6nm chipset, and it is accompanied by Adreno 619 GPU.
Note 12 has up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage space. Its variants are 4/128GB, 6/128GB 6GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB. The device features UFS 2.2 data transfer technology.

To evaluate the gaming performance of Redmi Note 12 we have done 3D testing. It has almost half the performance of the similarly priced competitor phones.
Battery and Charger
A battery with a capacity of 5,000 mAh is considered to be rather ample; the only time you'll need to go for a charger throughout the day is if you're engaging in energy-intensive activities such as gaming or GPS navigation.
It's remarkable that after an hour of watching a streaming video with the volume turned down and the brightness turned all the way up, the battery only dropped by five percent despite these extreme conditions.

Because of its low price point, the Redmi Note 12 does not support wireless charging, which is to be anticipated in a device of this kind. On the other hand, the wired 33W charging works quite great, and you can get a full charge on this phone in a little over an hour if you start from zero. There is no cause for concern with regard to the charge of the battery or the duration of its use.
Price of Redmi Note 12 in Bangladesh
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 is not available in Bangladesh officially, yet. In the China market, it costs 1199 yuan or BDT 16,846. The conversion rate here is 1 Yuan = 14.05 Taka. However, the official price of Redmi Note 12 in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.
Conclusion
Though Note 12, like any other cheap phone, is a negotiated settlement, its design, screen, build quality, battery life, and other common features seem standard. However, its camera quality and general performance are where the users will notice the concessions in the price.

'China's Tianjin Port now smarter, more efficient, thanks to Huawei'
Global ICT infrastructure and solutions provider Huawei, has come up with a 5G network, 4L autonomous driving and other technological innovations to make ports smart, safer and efficient.
Recently, a smart terminal was built by Tianjin Port Group (TPG), together with Huawei and other partners.
This initiative was taken to deal with port congestion that caused severe disruptions in global supply chains, goods handling problems and other port-related issues resulting in a decrease in overall efficiency.
At the Tianjin Port, under the guidance of the BeiDou navigation satellite system, the whole process of moving the container trucks to the automatic locking and unlocking stations can now be completed in one go.
"The intelligent and digital transformation of the port has led to tangible benefits and increased efficiency. Now, each container at the Tianjin Port consumes 20 percent less energy, and cranes are 20 percent more efficient on average, with each crane operating 39 container units per hour," Huawei said in a statement.

Jason Li, board member of Huawei Bangladesh, said: "Smart ports and terminals can be the focal point in the next few years for realising the Smart Bangladesh vision. If Bangladesh can turn Chattogram and Mongla ports into smart ones, it will have very positive impacts on the economy and also help to address the problems in daily operations at ports."
Tianjin port is one of China's most technologically advanced ports and a vital hub for the One Belt One Road initiative. It has a 300000-ton-class wharf with a channel depth of 22 meters. It has 192 berths of various types and 128 berths above the 10,000-ton-class.
By the end of 2021, the port's cargo throughput reached 435 million tons, ranking ninth in the world, while the container throughput exceeded 18.35 million TEUs, ranking the eighth port in the world.
WhatsApp Communities: Here’s what the latest feature offers
Meta-owned messaging service WhatsApp rolled out “Communities” — a new feature offering larger, more structured discussion groups — today.
The feature will bring together separate groups under bigger umbrellas where administrators can send alerts to a community of thousands.
Designed to help organisations, clubs, schools, and other private groups communicate better, this latest feature will allow people to receive updates sent to the entire community and easily organise smaller discussion groups.

Redmi Note 12 Pro+ vs Redmi Note 12 Pro
Design
Both the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ models have 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates, making their specifications almost equal. Both phones have the Dimensity 1080 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of fixed storage that cannot be expanded.
Camera
In terms of cameras, the Pro+ has an advantage because it is the first Redmi phone to feature a 200MP camera that uses a Samsung ISOCELL HPX sensor.

Apple iPad, iPad Pro 2022 Review: World’s most advanced tablets
The efficiencies of iPads have significantly increased over the last several years. Nowadays, an Apple tablet is capable of doing a far wider range of tasks than it could in the past. So, many people are simply replacing their business laptops with these incredible gadgets. Let’s take a look at the key features of iPad 2022 (10th generation) and iPad Pro 2022 models.
Apple iPad vs iPad Pro: A Comparative Review
What are the differences between the iPad from the iPad Pro, and how can you tell which one is the better option for you?
Design
iPad Pro 2022 model comes in two sizes 11-inch and 12.9-inch.
To be quite clear, the iPad Pro is an absolutely delightful piece of hardware. It contains a multitude of cameras. Both the front and back cameras feature depth sensors that might be utilized for augmented reality (AR) or 3D scanning. It operates really fast. The display and speakers are excellent, particularly on the model with a 12.9-inch screen.
Read More: Top 10 phones coming to Bangladesh in November 2022
The iPad Pros include screens that employ Apple's ProMotion variable refresh rate technology, much like the iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro. These displays have a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes it incredibly easy to browse through content and use the device overall since it is so fluid.
The iPad 2022 is the first iPad to fully adopt a full-screen design with narrow bezels rather than the other iPads' traditional big bezels and home buttons.
This brings about a number of significant improvements for the iPad. Because currently there is no home button. The fingerprint sensor that is used for Touch ID is now integrated into the power button that is located on the top frame.
Read More: vivo V25, V25e Review: Is the Price Difference Justified?
No matter how you use the iPad, you won't have any trouble getting to it, and its speed and dependability will live up to your expectations. The improved design also makes room for an enhanced two-speaker landscaping system to be installed.
Display
Apple is able to fit a substantially bigger display into the same footprint due to the iPad's thinner bezels. The iPad 2022 has a 10.9-inch display, as opposed to the 10.2-inch display of the previous iPad versions. This means extra space for applications, games, and movies.
As for the display quality, you have instantly been reminded of the iPad's rudimentary origins. The display has a resolution of 2360 x 1640. In addition, it boasts a maximum brightness of 500 nits and Apple's True Tone display technology.
Read More: OPPO F21 Pro 4G Review: Special attraction for Shakib fans
However, its display misses many of the luxuries seen on the Air. Specifically, the display is not laminated to the front glass, lacks an anti-reflective coating, and lacks P3 wide color gamut support.
The 11-inch iPad Pro 2022 model comes with an 11-inch screen featuring a 2388-by-1668-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch (PPI).
On the other hand, in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2022 model, you get a 2732-by-2048-pixel resolution at 264 PPI in the 12.9-inch display. Not to mention, a larger screen is always a welcome addition, as it makes working with many applications less cramped.

iPad Pro 2022 models are blessed with Wide color display (P3) technology, True Tone Display and many more features.
Camera
Additionally, Apple made a number of noteworthy enhancements to the camera system included on the new iPad. It now sports a rear camera with the same 12-megapixel (F/1.8) resolution as the Air. Although it is not the greatest camera on the market, it is now capable of capturing video in 4K resolution, when the model from the previous year could only achieve a maximum of 1080p.
iPad Pro has installed Wide and Ultra Wide cameras. The Wide camera features12MP a sensor with ƒ/1.8 aperture; while the Ultra Wide camera sports a 10MP sensor with ƒ/2.4 aperture, and a 125° field of view. You can shoot 4K footage with iPad Pro 2022 models.

Performance and Software
iPadOS 16 offers a wonderful user experience in the iPad Pro 2022 model. It has 64GB RAM. The internal storage ranges from 128GB to 2TB.
The iPad Pro 2022 from Apple is equipped with Apple's M2 chip. The fact that this tablet utilizes the same processor as the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with a 13-inch screen from this year makes it a strong contender for the title of most powerful tablet currently available.
Apple claims that the eight-core CPU, which has four performance cores and four efficiency cores, offers an increase in performance of fifteen percent over the M1 processor. The ten-core GPU will offer visuals that are 35% quicker than the M1 GPU.

On the other hand, Apple iPad 2022 model is equipped with an A14 Bionic chip. It is run by a 6-core CPU, 4-core graphics, and 16-core Neural Engine. It has 8GB RAM with 64GB or 256GB of internal storage.
Battery and Charger
10th-generation iPad is supported by a 28.6‐watt-hour rechargeable lithium‑polymer battery. To tell you the truth, you won’t be blown away by its 10-hour battery life. The limited battery life might have been due to the fact that you will need to incorporate the tablet into your workflow. At the conclusion of each of the first two days of your trip, you will have anywhere between 20 and 30 percent completed.
Thankfully, that has not been the case throughout the second half of the weeklong testing that you will be doing, and you will have every reason to believe that the seven to eight hours of usage that you receive each day will continue for the foreseeable future.
The implementation of USB-C as the standard port on all iPads, however, has been a blessing in disguise. Because you just need one charger to power your smartphone, laptop, wireless earphones, and your iPad.

The iPad Pro 11-inch has a similar battery experience. While the iPad Pro 12.9 inch comes with a built-in 40.88-watt-hour rechargeable battery.
Price of iPad and iPad Pro 2022
The price of iPad Pro and iPad starts from $799 or BDT 81,278 and $449 or BDT 45,674 respectively. The price conversion rate here is $1 = BDT 101.73.
Conclusion
The Apple iPad and the iPad Pro 2022 models are well-designed gadgets that provide everything one would anticipate receiving from a premium tablet. With these gadgets, the activities of watching videos, playing games, participating in video conferences, surfing the web, writing, and sketching are as productive as ever.

Musk fires Twitter's board of directors becomes board's sole member
Billionaire Elon Musk is already floating major changes for Twitter — and faces major hurdles as he begins his first week as the owner of the social-media platform.
Twitter's new owner fired the company's board of directors and made himself the board's sole member, according to a company filing Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Musk later said on Twitter that the new board setup is “temporary,” but he didn't provide any details.
He's also testing the waters on asking users to pay for verification. A venture capitalist working with Musk tweeted a poll asking how much users would be willing to pay for the blue check mark that Twitter has historically used to verify higher-profile accounts so other users know it’s really them.

Musk, whose account is verified, replied, “Interesting.”
Critics have derided the mark, often granted to celebrities, politicians, business leaders and journalists, as an elite status symbol.
But Twitter also uses the blue check mark to verify activists and people who suddenly find themselves in the news, as well as little-known journalists at small publications around the globe, as an extra tool to curb misinformation coming from accounts that are impersonating people.
“The whole verification process is being revamped right now,” Musk tweeted Sunday in response to a user who asked for help getting verified.

On Friday, meanwhile, billionaire Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said he and his Kingdom Holding Company rolled over a combined $1.89 billion in existing Twitter shares, making them the company’s largest shareholder after Musk. The news raised concerns among some lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut.
Murphy tweeted that he is requesting the Committee on Foreign Investment — which reviews acquisitions of U.S. businesses by foreign buyers — to investigate the national security implications of the kingdom's investment in Twitter
“We should be concerned that the Saudis, who have a clear interest in repressing political speech and impacting U.S. politics, are now the second-largest owner of a major social media platform,” Murphy tweeted. “There is a clear national security issue at stake and CFIUS should do a review.”

Having taken ownership of the social media service, Musk has invited a group of tech-world friends and investors to help guide the San Francisco-based company's transformation, which is likely to include a shakeup of its staff. Musk last week fired CEO Parag Agrawal and other top executives.
There's been uncertainty about if and when he could begin larger-scale layoffs.
“I do think there will be a lot of layoffs,” said Matthew Faulkner, an assistant finance professor at San Jose State University. Faulkner noted the need for cost-cutting after Musk bought Twitter for a premium and the platform’s longtime struggles trying to turn a profit. But Musk might also want as quickly as possible to weed out employees who don’t believe in his mission so that those who stay feel more secure.
“You don’t want to have frantically scared employees working for you,” Faulkner said. “That doesn’t motivate people.”

Those who have revealed they are helping Musk include Sriram Krishnan, a partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which pledged back in the spring to chip into Musk's plan to buy the company and take it private.
Krishnan, who is also a former Twitter product executive, said in a tweet that it is “a hugely important company and can have a great impact on the world and Elon is the person to make it happen.”
Jason Calacanis, the venture capitalist who tweeted the poll about whether users would pay for verification, said over the weekend he is “hanging out at Twitter a bit and simply trying to be as helpful as possible during the transition.”

Calacanis said the team already “has a very comprehensive plan to reduce the number of (and visibility of) bots, spammers, & bad actors on the platform.” And in the Twitter poll, he asked if users would pay between $5 and $15 monthly to “be verified & get a blue checkmark” on Twitter. Twitter is currently free for most users because it depends on advertising for its revenue.
Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion in April but it wasn't until Thursday evening that he finally closed the deal, after his attempts to back out of it led to a protracted legal fight with the company. Musk's lawyers are now asking the Delaware Chancery Court to throw out the case, according to a court filing made public Monday. The two sides were supposed to go to trial in November if they didn't close the deal by the end of last week.
Musk has made a number of pronouncements since early this year about how to fix Twitter, and it remains unclear which proposals he will prioritize.

He has promised to cut back some of Twitter's content restrictions to promote free speech, but said Friday that no major decisions on the content or reinstating of banned accounts will be made until a “content moderation council” with diverse viewpoints is put in place. He later qualified that remark, tweeting “anyone suspended for minor & dubious reasons will be freed from Twitter jail.”
The head of a cryptocurrency exchange that invested $500 million in Musk’s Twitter takeover said he had a number of reasons for supporting the deal, including the possibility Musk would transition Twitter into a company supporting cryptocurrency and the concept known as Web3, which many cryptocurrency enthusiasts envision as the next generation of the internet.
“We want to make sure that crypto has a seat at the table when it comes to free speech,” Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao told CNBC on Monday (October 31, 2022). “And there are more tactical things like we want to help bring Twitter into Web3 when they’re ready.”

He said cryptocurrency could be useful for solving some of Musk’s immediate challenges, such as the plan to charge a premium membership fee for more users.
“That can be done very easily, globally, by using cryptocurrency as a means of payment,” he said.
