Dulal Sir was subjected to inhuman torture at the hands of Pakistani forces during the liberation war. However, upon his survival, he again devoted himself to patriotism. Later, 65-year-old Dulal Sir built several educational institutions and mosques in his area to ensure education for all. He also taught students in Anirban Vidyalaya.
Hailing from Batiaghata Upazila of Khulna, 70-year-old freedom fighter and village doctor Rabindranath Biswas treated war-wounded freedom fighters in 1971. Since then, he has been providing free medical services for the poor and needy people. Although his name is not on the list of freedom fighters, he is not disappointed because to him, human welfare is more important to him than recognition.

On the other hand, Sajedul Islam has been involved in various social activities as a volunteer. He donates blood himself and encourages others to donate. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he joined hands with Gopalganj Bandhu Mahal and provided free oxygen cylinders to dying patients.
The stories have been selected from thousands of stories collected in the 'Stories of the Heroic People' social activity campaign which was conducted during the national victory day as a tribute to the national heroes.
Through the lens of Reno6 every picture is worth a thousand words and these pictures are a testament to that. It is incredible how these people, in spite of the tribulations in life, manage to support the country and uplift others' lives with such resilience.

Oppo Reno7 SE 5G Review: Can it rule the upper mid-range segment?
The Oppo Reno7 SE 5G was released on 17th December 2021 in China. The phone was released as a budget alternative to the Oppo flagship, the Reno7 5G. Interestingly, the Reno7 SE looks exactly similar to the Reno7. With a great camera, fast processor, and a large battery, the SE offers a lot on par with the Reno7. Let's take a deep dive into the details.
Oppo Reno7 SE 5G Key Specifications
Design and Build Quality
The design of the Reno7 SE is probably its strongest suit. The phone features a dual-glass design on the front and back. The stainless-steel frame is sandwiched between the two glasses. Oppo did not provide any certification of Reno7 SE’s back glass. During testing, it was found that the rear glass works great at deterring scratches.

The rear camera series features the proprietary triple camera module mounted on a base. The rectangular base with its lighter hue adds a distinct look on the back. You will find a punch-hole display on the front of this latest OPPO phone. The phone has a considerable bezel which might feel like an eyesore by 2022 standard. However, these are some of the cost-cutting corners of the mid-range budget options.
The power button is situated on the right and the volume rockers lie on the left. Both the clickers have a tactile feel to them. In addition to that, there is a single bottom-firing speaker along with a USB Type-C port.
Display
Oppo has used the same display as the Reno7 on the Reno7 SE. The display is an AMOLED FHD+ 90 Hz panel. The 6.43 inches screen boasts a 409 ppi which makes for an impressive viewing experience.
Read Tesla Smartphone Model Pi: Leaked features, release date
The display is protected by Corning gorilla glass 5. Not to mention, this feature is a surprising addition at this price point. The display has an average brightness of 600 nits but it can go up to 800 nits under direct sunlight. The display provides a great viewing experience both indoors and outdoors.
The viewing angles are also very sharp. Unlike some of the previous Oppo models, there is not any kind of color shift here. The display supports HDR so media consumption would be an enjoyable experience.
Camera
Oppo has featured a triple camera sensor for the Reno7 SE. The main sensor is a 48 MP f/1.7 26 mm wide-angle shooter. This is a standard main shooter that is seen on other mid-range Oppo phones. In addition to that, there is a 2 MP f/2.4 macro shooter and 2 MP f//2.4 depth sensor included in the module. In testing, however, the macro and sensor felt fairly gimmicky. These are neither anything revolutionary nor something anyone will use daily.
Read MediaTek or Snapdragon Chipset: Who Will Win the Race in 2022?
But the main sensor does an excellent job here. It can take sharp and crisp images under direct sunlight. The images look bright with a decent amount of dynamic range in them. The images can retain natural colors which is a welcoming addition. The sensor performs better in artificial lighting and dark settings as well. But there are some noticeable grains in the images. And the night mode tends to overexpose subjects in artificial lighting.
The front-facing camera holds a 16 MP f/2.4 sensor. It is a wide-angle shooter which is similar to other Oppo phones in this price range.
The video quality is excellent thanks to the gyro-EIS. The phone can shoot at 4K at 30 fps or 1080 p at either 30, 60, or 120 fps.

Processor and Performance
Moving on to the processor of the phone. The Reno7 SE features MediaTek MT 6877 Dimensity 900 5G chipset built on the 6 nm architecture. The 6 nm architecture provides incredible power efficiency which allows Oppo to squeeze in a considerably small battery. More on that later. The octa-core processor comes in at 2 2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 chipset configurations. The processor is coupled with the Mali-G68 MC4 GPU.
The processor held up strongly on a day to day usage. This is an upper mid-range processor from MediaTek, so it performs as expected. The processor can handle games without any issue. All the leading 3D titles like PUBG and Fortnite can be played on this device without a frame drop. Though the phone gets a bit hot after 30 minutes of continuous media playing or gaming, there would be no drastic battery drop.
The UI is powered by Android 11 with Oppo’s skin, the ColorOS 12 on top of it. To be fair, the ColorOS is a heavy skin that is not for everybody. It brings an iOS-like interface to android. Granted previous users will not have any issue adapting to it but it might take some getting used to for the new users. Regardless, the OS runs smoothly on the device and it does not bog down over time.

Battery and Charge Time
Oppo has included a 4500 mAh battery with the Reno7 SE. As mentioned above, this is a fairly small battery compared to other devices at this price point. But the defining feature here is the 6nm processor architecture. Even with 4500 mAh, the Reno7 comfortably gets through the day. Typical usage will see users get around 5 to 6 hours of screen on time which is fairly enough to get through the day.
On top of that, the phone features a 33W fast charging which can fully charge the phone in just over an hour. What is more, there is an option that allows reverse wireless charging.
Price of OPPO Reno7 SE 5G in Bangladesh
The Oppo Reno7 SE 5G has not been officially launched in Bangladesh yet. In the Indian market the expected price of OPPO Reno 7 SE 5G (8/128GB) is around Rs. 31,490. It is equivalent to BDT 36,150 (Conversion rate RS 0.87= BDT 1). However, after launching in Bangladesh, the exact price of this phone may vary due to diverse reasons like tax issues and company decisions.

Verdict
The Oppo Reno7 SE 5G is targeted as an upper mid-range phone. It is a perfect substitute for the pricier Reno7 5G. The phone performs exceptionally well for its international price. Especially the processor and the build quality are its strongest suit. However, Oppo could have done better on the camera segment. The camera module is effectively a single main shooter doing most of the work. Nevertheless, time will tell whether the official price of the Reno7 SE 5G in Bangladesh can provide a bang for the buck.

From 1971 onwards, he is providing free treatment to the villagers. Although his name is not on the official list of freedom fighters, Rabindranath does not feel frustrated because he believes in helping people under any circumstances.

Oppo Find N Review: What’s special about it?
Although foldable android smartphones are not as prevalent as had been anticipated in 2021, they can be more available in 2022. Recently, Oppo has joined the folding smartphone market with the Oppo Find N, which rivals Samsung's formidable Z Fold series. Oppo has launched this phone on 17th December 2021. In this brief analysis, this article will examine the features of the folding smartphone.
Key Features of Oppo Find N
Design
When the OPPO Find N is closed, it is a very small smartphone. The dimensions are comparable to those of an iPhone 13 mini or something comparable. Such a "sandwich" is quite substantial in thickness. The external display's diagonal dimension is "only" 5.49 inches. Which is really rather small by contemporary standards. The remainder of the front panel is familiar: the front camera is housed in a circular hole, and the top section has a tiny speaker slot.
When opened, the device reveals a 7.1-inch tablet. The aspect ratio is very large: 8.4:9. Indeed, the screen seems to be virtually square in shape. The frames are discernible, which isn't necessarily a bad thing when using the device as a tablet. Additionally, there is a front camera on the inside. It is positioned in the hole in the screen's top-left corner.

The bezel around the screen does not extend excessively above it. It serves its protective purpose and does not obstruct the user's ability to utilize the display comfortably.
Most significantly, OPPO eliminated the fold nearly entirely. Even when seen from an angle, it is almost hard to detect any unevenness. Only tactilely can you detect the tiniest amount. This is quite amazing on an aesthetic and technical level.
The second critical design element is that there is no space between the smartphone's halves when folded. The components fit snugly together, which reduces dust and filth, among other benefits. The frame is entirely made of metal. Stereo speakers, USB Type-C, a microphone, and a tray are located on the bottom edge.

Display
To begin, the OPPO Find N has a foldable internal screen with a 7.1-inch AMOLED display. Samsung is a manufacturer. The resolution is 1920x1792, the aspect ratio is 9:8, and the pixel density is 370 pixels per inch. Manual brightness of 500 cd / m2 and a peak brightness of 1000 cd / m2 is predicted; HDR support is also included. Manual brightness of 500 cd / m2 and a peak brightness of 1000 cd / m2 is predicted;
HDR support is also included. Adaptive refresh rates of 1-120 Hz are supported by the display. Everything is familiar in the display settings: dark theme, scale, font, eye protection, and color modes, from the unfamiliar - a collection of enhancements for the Ultra Vision Engine.
There are no visual concerns about the screen, both in terms of brightness and image quality. According to hardware tests, the maximum brightness in Bright mode is 468.96 cd/m2, and the color gamut is substantially broader than sRGB. Due to a minor oversupply of blue, the color rendering somewhat shifts to the frigid hues.
Read Motorola Moto G51 5G Review: Know the Pros and Cons
The external camera is an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 5.49-inches and a resolution of 1972x988p, with a pixel density of 402 pixels per inch. The brightness settings stated are identical to those on the internal display. However, there is one disadvantage: the external display's refresh rate is 60 Hz. This is the only criticism. Everything else is satisfactory.
Rear Cameras
There are a total of five cameras on board, all of which function well in the daytime. The triple rear camera arrangement is led by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 main sensor equipped with optical image stabilization. The main camera is supported by a 16-megapixel sensor and an ultrawide lens, while the secondary camera is backed by a 13-megapixel sensor and a telephoto lens with a 3x optical zoom. In the daytime, all three cameras create clean images, and night photography is similarly impressive. However, like with any smartphone, certain information may be lost.
Additionally, the cameras recorded natural colors, which may not be to everyone's taste. However, if the AI option is activated, you may get great saturation and contrast, resulting in an artificially edited finish. Additionally, there are other camera options to experiment with.

Front Camera
The two 32-megapixel front cameras are a little unimpressive due to their apparent lack of OIS functionality. In such a situation, the majority of photographs will be flat and devoid of detail, similar to the Oppo Find X3 phone. This might be why Oppo made few mentions of the camera sensors since the foldable smartphone is primarily focused on productivity.
Performance and Software
The Oppo Find N is powered by the same Snapdragon 888 processor as the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Due to the fact that this is a China-specific device, the phone does not come pre-loaded with Google or Meta applications.
This also means that we were unable to evaluate the smartphone's software to its full potential since many applications have yet to be optimized for this size factor. Additionally, the phone operates on Android 11-based ColorOS 12, although the company has stated that it will eventually get Android 12-based ColorOS.

For this review, users will get the top-of-the-line 12GB RAM + 512GB variant. As with previous Oppo phones, the Oppo Find N offers RAM expansion technology, which enlarges the RAM capacity by using idle ROM.
However, the Snapdragon 888 processor beneath the hood remains a strong one on the market, and the phone is still capable of handling work and gaming applications. Additionally, I appreciated popular games such as Asphalt 9 and Fruit Ninja that used the 8.4:9 aspect ratio. Needless to say, both applications functioned flawlessly and showed no evidence of overheating.
Battery and Charging
Without a strong battery, every productivity-oriented smartphone is incomplete. The Oppo Find N has a 4500mAh battery, which is somewhat larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 3's 4400mAh battery. While we do receive an all-day battery, bear in mind that we were unable to test the phone's boundaries due to the fact that this is a China-specific device.

Users will also get 33W SuperVOOC cable charging support, which is promised to charge the battery to 50% capacity in half an hour. It takes around 80 minutes for the phone to reach full battery. Additionally, we get support for wireless and reverse wireless charging.
Price of OPPO Find N in Bangladesh
The phone has not yet been officially launched in Bangladesh. The 8GB 256GB model is priced at BDT 1,03,311 in the China. The USD to BDT exchange rate is 1 CNY = 13.42 BDT in this case.
Conclusion
Oppo's Find N demonstrates that there are several approaches to the book-style foldable. Without turning to a behemoth of a phone, you may have a large screen on the inside and a usable screen on the outside.
Read Why You Don’t Need an Expensive Flagship Phone Anymore?
It's perhaps more practical in that regard than the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which has a far larger aspect ratio and a skinnier display on the exterior.
Even at first glance, we can see that it is not ideal, but it is not far off. Its primary disadvantage is that it will be unavailable outside of China. However, if this serves as a prototype for future folding smartphones from OnePlus, Oppo, and Realme, the future of the flexible phone industry seems quite bright.
