Walton Primo R10 Review: Does it offer value for money?
Walton was one of the first brands in Bangladesh that emerged as an electronic conglomerate. The company started with home appliances and later ventured into features and smartphones. In its decade-long journey in the Bangladeshi smartphone market, the company has always prioritized the match between quality and affordability. Walton's latest offering, the Primo R10 is a testament to that commitment. With an entry-level price tag, the device brings some impressive features that are sure to ruffle some feathers. Here’s our detailed take on the device.
Key Specifications of Walton Primo R10
Design and Build Quality
Like other previous Walton devices, the Primo R10 has a completely plastic build all around. Walton never shied away from colors, and the R10 is available in three distinct colorways. You have bottle green, ford blue, and midnight green.
The back of the device will give an iPhone-like feel to the users thanks to the triangular camera alignment. But other than that, everything seems pretty generic and resembles the tried and tested design language of Walton.

The only shocker here is the removal of the headphone jack. While the headphone jack has been a thing of the past for flagships, it is still prevalent on mid-range and budget devices. Walton has decided to remove the headphone jack from the R10. And it's almost certain that future devices will also miss out on it.
Other than that, everything else seems to be right where they’re supposed to be. There is a dual sim slot with expandable storage, a bottom-firing speaker, and a Type-C port.
The design and the build quality won’t instill anything new in the users. And given Waltons track record on the budget market, that might not be a bad thing at all.

The Display
Moving on to the display, we have an IPS V-notch display with an HD+ resolution. This is again the same display found on the Primo R9. This might be a cost-minimization strategy from Walton, but some devices come with at least FHD+ resolution at this price point.
Another minor gripe with the display is the use of the INCELL technology, which is a conventionally lower tech used on LCD panels. While higher-end LCDs don’t usually suffer from color shifting anymore, the same doesn’t hold true for the INCELL panel.
Beyond the obvious letdown with the HD+ resolution and display tech, the experience itself isn’t all too bad. For anyone coming from the R9 or similar spec devices of Walton will feel right at home as if nothing changed.

The display can’t really be considered a massive media consumptive panel. Rather it is something that will get the job done as a daily driver.
The Camera
The camera has seen a slight improvement from the R9 to the R10. The latter still boasts the same triple camera setup as that of the R9. But instead of the VGA, the R10 comes with a 2 MP depth sensor. Not that it makes much of a difference anyways.
Most of the camera work is done by the 13 MP main sensor. Walton is marketing the camera as an all-in-one solution for burst, panorama, time-lapse, slow motion, etc.

Coming to the performance itself, the camera again performs moderately as we saw on the R9. Pictures in day time come out pretty good. There are a good amount of details in each picture, and there seem to be no exposure or dynamic range issues.
But like all other generic 13 MP cameras, things start to fall apart indoors or artificial lights. There seems to be a slight improvement in the exposure compared to what we saw on the R9, but that’s about it. The videography is still 1080P at 30 fps. The videos look shaky and choppy, as usual, due to the absence of any kind of internal or external stabilization. There aren’t any other notable changes.
On the front, users will be getting an 8 MP shooter, just like the R9. The performance is nothing out of the ordinary with passable results at best.

Processor and Performance
The Walton Primo R10 comes with Unisoc Tiger T610 built on the 12 Nm architecture. It has an octa-core base with a max chip output of 1.8 GHz. The processor is coupled with a Mali-G52 GPU set. In real-world use, this processor isn’t really a very powerful one.
Yet we tried gaming on the device and ran PUBG, COD, and Asphalt 9 on it. The device was able to run all of them in moderate graphics settings. But the main problem was the heating issue. The device became hot after about 30 minutes of continued gaming.
The T610 is best suited for moderate daily usage. You can casually browse social media, watch videos and do the usual daily stuff as you’d do on your device without a hiccup. Anything that is processor intensive will cause the device to throttle.

Battery and Charge Time
The Walton Primo R10 comes equipped with a 4850 mAh battery. That’s a bit of an odd choice since most devices come with a 5000 mAh battery. The battery usually lasts around 6 to 8 hours with continued usage. However, one positive thing here is the 10W fast charger which is usually not present on devices at this price point.
Price of Walton Primo R10 in Bangladesh
The Walton Primo R10 is available in a 4/64 GB configuration. The official price of the device in Bangladesh is 12,999 BDT.
Final Words
Walton never really limits itself by releasing one device each year. Instead, devices come on an almost half-yearly basis with slight variations. While it might get confusing for the users to make the correct choice, it also provides different options and minor improvements in certain aspects.
Read More: Vivo Y01 Review: Is it a worthy entry level budget phone?
The Walton Primo R10 similarly saw a minor improvement in the design and camera department. While most other aspects remain the same as the previous iteration, it can still be a worthy choice for anyone looking for a budget device to suffice daily needs.
Samsung Cloud: Make most of smartphones with exclusive features for go-getters
The smartphone users can now have backup without transferring data using USB cables with Samsung Cloud.
Anyone who has ever used a smartphone knows what it's like to lose their important data, especially those who upgrade their devices now and then. So, to avoid such a thing from happening again, it's a good habit to back up your data regularly.

In the case of a new purchase, users can continue where they left off on a new device, and the feature continuously backs up native apps like Calendar and Contacts and some third-party apps, according to a press release.
For example, if a user turns on Auto Backup for contacts on one Samsung smartphone, they can restore the backed-up contacts later from Samsung Cloud on a secondary device sharing the same Samsung Account.
As storing private documents, files, apps, and data in a secure location has become crucial for smartphone users, Samsung devices also feature Secure Folder, which allows you to store anything you want with the highest level of security. The folder will be protected by the defense-grade Samsung Knox security platform, which encrypts all data stored there, ensuring that your information is kept safe from malicious attacks. Additionally, you can include a biometric lock or passcode to protect your data from snoopers. Hence, by leveraging the benefits of Secure Folder, you can store all the photos, videos, files and data you want to keep private.

Samsung Dex is another innovative feature of Samsung that lets the user operate their smartphone with a keyboard, mouse, and computer monitor. With this feature, by connecting your smartphone to any monitor, you can edit images, write a document, and give presentations very easily. Moreover, you can also use the smartphone as an edge-like laptop through Samsung Dex. In that case, the phone screen will act as a trackpad and the smart TV as a monitor. So, even if you do not have a laptop, you can do the small professional tasks of the laptop with your Samsung smartphone.
Samsung devices are packed with software and hardware features that can sometimes make you feel overwhelmed. Given the myriad of features a typical Samsung smartphone offers, you may not aware all of them or might have just not gotten around to using them. However, the features outlined above will help increase your productivity level and solve some pain points to improve your overall smartphone using experience.
US scientists set to announce fusion energy breakthrough
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was set to announce a “major scientific breakthrough” Tuesday in the decades-long quest to harness fusion, the energy that powers the sun and stars.
Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California for the first time produced more energy in a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it, something called net energy gain, according to one government official and one scientist familiar with the research. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the breakthrough ahead of the announcement.
Granholm was scheduled to appear alongside Livermore researchers at a morning event in Washington. The Department of Energy declined to give details ahead of time. The news was first reported by the Financial Times.

Proponents of fusion hope that it could one day produce nearly limitless, carbon-free energy, displacing fossil fuels and other traditional energy sources. Producing energy that powers homes and businesses from fusion is still decades away. But researchers said it was a significant step nonetheless.
“It’s almost like it’s a starting gun going off,” said Professor Dennis Whyte, director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a leader in fusion research. “We should be pushing towards making fusion energy systems available to tackle climate change and energy security.”
Net energy gain has been an elusive goal because fusion happens at such high temperatures and pressures that it is incredibly difficult to control.
Fusion works by pressing hydrogen atoms into each other with such force that they combine into helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy and heat. Unlike other nuclear reactions, it doesn’t create radioactive waste.
Billions of dollars and decades of work have gone into fusion research that has produced exhilarating results — for fractions of a second. Previously, researchers at the National Ignition Facility, the division of Lawrence Livermore where the success took place, used 192 lasers and temperatures multiple times hotter than the center of the sun to create an extremely brief fusion reaction.
The lasers focus an enormous amount of heat on a small metal can. The result is a superheated plasma environment where fusion may occur.
Read: Top 10 Health and Medicine Breakthroughs of 2021
Riccardo Betti, a professor at the University of Rochester and expert in laser fusion, said an announcement that net energy had been gained in a fusion reaction would be significant. But he said there’s a long road ahead before the result generates sustainable electricity.
He likened the breakthrough to when humans first learned that refining oil into gasoline and igniting it could produce an explosion.
“You still don’t have the engine and you still don’t have the tires,” Betti said. “You can’t say that you have a car.”
The net energy gain achievement applied to the fusion reaction itself, not the total amount of power it took to operate the lasers and run the project. For fusion to be viable, it will need to produce significantly more power and for longer.
It is incredibly difficult to control the physics of stars. Whyte said it has been challenging to reach this point because the fuel has to be hotter than the center of the sun. The fuel does not want to stay hot -- it wants to leak out and get cold. Containing it is an incredible challenge, he said.
Net energy gain isn’t a huge surprise from the California lab because of progress it had already made, according to Jeremy Chittenden, a professor at Imperial College in London specializing in plasma physics.
“That doesn’t take away from the fact that this is a significant milestone,” he said.
It takes enormous resources and effort to advance fusion research. One approach turns hydrogen into plasma, an electrically charged gas, which is then controlled by humongous magnets. This method is being explored in France in a collaboration among 35 countries called the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor as well as by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a private company.
Last year the teams working on those projects in two continents announced significant advancements in the vital magnets needed for their work.
Musk's Twitter disbands its Trust and Safety advisory group
Elon Musk's Twitter has dissolved its Trust and Safety Council, the advisory group of around 100 independent civil, human rights and other organizations that the company formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform.
The council had been scheduled to meet with Twitter representatives Monday night. But Twitter informed the group via email that it was disbanding it shortly before the meeting was to take place, according to multiple members.
The council members, who provided images of the email from Twitter to The Associated Press, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fears of retaliation.
“Our work to make Twitter a safe, informative place will be moving faster and more aggressively than ever before and we will continue to welcome your ideas going forward about how to achieve this goal,” said the email, which was signed “Twitter.”
The volunteer group provided expertise and guidance on how Twitter could better combat hate, harassment and other harms but didn’t have any decision-making authority and didn’t review specific content disputes.

“Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council was a group of volunteers who over many years gave up their time when consulted by Twitter staff to offer advice on a wide range of online harms and safety issues," tweeted council member Alex Holmes. “At no point was it a governing body or decision making.”
Twitter, which is based in San Francisco, had confirmed the meeting with the council Thursday in an email in which it promised an “open conversation and Q&A” with Twitter staff, including the new head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin.
That came on the same day that three council members announced they were resigning in a public statement posted on Twitter that said that “contrary to claims by Elon Musk, the safety and wellbeing of Twitter’s users are on the decline.”
Those former council members soon became the target of online attacks after Musk amplified criticized of them and Twitter’s past leadership for allegedly not doing enough to stop child sexual exploitation on the platform.
“It is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!” Musk tweeted.
A growing number of attacks on the council led to concerns from some remaining members who sent an email to Twitter on Monday demanding the company stop misrepresenting its role.
Those false accusations by Twitter leaders were “endangering current and former Council members,” the email said.

The Trust and Safety Council, in fact, had as one of its advisory groups one that focused on child exploitation. This included the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the Rati Foundation and YAKIN, or Youth Adult Survivors & Kin in Need.

Twitter relaunching subscriber service after debacle
Twitter is once again attempting to launch its premium service, a month after a previous attempt failed.
The social media company said Saturday it would let users buy subscriptions to Twitter Blue to get a blue checkmark and access special features starting Monday.
Read more: Top EU official warns Musk: Twitter needs to protect users from hate speech, misinformation
The blue checkmark was originally given to companies, celebrities, government entities and journalists verified by the platform. After Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, he launched a service granting blue checks to anyone willing to pay $8 a month. But it was inundated by imposter accounts, including those impersonating Musk's businesses Tesla and SpaceX, so Twitter suspended the service days after its launch.
The relaunched service will cost $8 a month for web users and $11 a month for iPhone users. Twitter says subscribers will see fewer ads, be able to post longer videos and have their tweets featured more prominently.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Leaks & rumors so far
The S series from Samsung has invariably become the S-tier of smartphones, at least as far as androids are concerned. These smart-looking, elegantly designed, devices pack the latest and greatest technologies of Samsung. The leaks and rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S23 series have started grinding. What will it be like? Should you wait for the S23 ultra or pick an S22 up today? Let's take a look at what we know about the coming soon Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Leaks and Rumors of Galaxy S23 Ultra
The design from the S20 to S21 to S22 has been a whirlwind journey. With each flagship release, it felt like Samsung was out to reinvent its design statement. But that might be about to change with the Galaxy S23 series. We rounded up the expected specs and rumors into several segments.
Design
News coming from the Samsung design lab is that the Galaxy S23 series, including the Galaxy S23 Ultra, will mostly feature the same design as the S22 Ultra. The reason is that the boxy design has allowed Samsung to fit in the S-pen, a bigger battery, and a more evenly distributed ergonomics.
Read More: OPPO F21s Pro Review: What new features does it offer?
It seems like Samsung has perfected the design game with the S22 Ultra, and they plan to stick to it for the foreseeable future.
The S-pen would be reprised much to the relief of the fan of the stylus. The S-pen first made its way to the Ultra series after Samsung discontinued its famous Note series.
There won’t be many changes to the dimensions, and Samsung plans to stick with the S22 Ultra form factors. But the back might see some camera shuffling as Samsung plans to introduce a new main sensor on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Display
Samsung has been the unrivaled king when it comes to displaying tech for several years now. And their abilities have been time and again showcased with their flagship devices. But for a couple of years now, the display tech has somewhat reached its saturation point.
There is the 4K display vying in the smartphone industry. But given the power consumption status of a 4K panel, it still won’t be a realistic choice.
So it's almost certain that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have a slightly modified, bare incremental updated display over the S22 Ultra. A Dynamic AMOLED panel with 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and maybe a slightly increased HBM. Even though the current 1750 HBM is more than enough for even the brightest sunny days.

Camera Series
The camera is where most of the Samsung magic happens. And if you thought the S22 series took things to the next level, wait till the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung is reportedly working to include a 200 MP HP2 ISOCELL sensor made in-house by Samsung. Ice Universe claims that this is the biggest upgrade coming to the S series compared to the last 5 years.
The main sensor is expected to be 0.6-micron pixels with an f/1.7 aperture. The camera is touted to compete with the likes of the iPhone 14 Pro and the Pixel 7 Pro.
Even though the megapixel count is increasing, the sensor size won’t be that different from the existing one. It is expected to be slightly larger than the 48 MP one found on the iPhone 14 Pro but nowhere near the 1-inch sensor of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

The quality should be on par with the likes of Apple and Google flagships. Even camera tech is reaching a saturation point where it's becoming increasingly difficult to pinpoint the differences between the performance of the flagship devices.
Processor and Performance
There was an initial rumor that the Galaxy S23 Ultra might feature the revamped Exynos chipset from Samsung. But that rumor was quickly dismissed as Samsung will be staying fixed with the Qualcomm partnership.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature the next generation chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon Gen 2 chipset. The 8 Gen 2 will bring an incremental update over the 8 Gen 1, which was the first breakaway chip from the standard Qualcomm nomenclature.

But the chipset isn’t the only thing Qualcomm is providing here. Samsung will also be making use of the latest Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max fingerprint sensor for the Galaxy S23 lineup. This specific fingerprint sensor is said to be 17 times larger than the existing one on the S22 series, making it even faster and more reliable in use.
Battery and Charging
The standard S22 Ultra featured a standard 5000 mAh battery with a 45 W fast charging. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S23 ultra might get a 5% battery increment in addition to the wired charging being bumped to 65 W. But we’ll have to wait on that information until more details arrive.
Expected Price of Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S23 Ultra
The S22 Ultra from Samsung debuted with an 1199 USD price tag. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is also expected to follow suit in that regard. They might also increase a bit given some significant changes in the camera department. But it should be around the initial S22 Ultra’s price point.
