iQOO prioritises camera quality in Neo 9 Pro with Sony IMX920 sensor, VCS colour grading, and AI night mode. Fewer cameras but better performance promised.

iQOO

As iQOO gears up to launch its next performance-oriented mid-range smartphone – the company is emphasising the camera capabilities of the device. This isn’t the case with many smartphones in this range. IndianExpress.com got in touch with Shankar Singh Chauhan, product manager at iQOO India, to understand more about the camera prowess of the Neo 9 Pro.

Chauhan said, “This time we have significant improvement in the camera performance of the iQOO Neo 9 Pro compared to its predecessor, especially in the main camera, which now uses the Sony IMX920 sensor, a sensor used on the flagship Vivo X100.” He also confirmed that the iQOO Neo 9 Pro will be priced under Rs 40,000, which will make it one of the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC-powered smartphones in the country.

When asked why the iQOO Neo 9 Pro has fewer cameras compared to its predecessor, Chauhan said, “according to the feedback we received, consumers didn’t want more low-quality cameras like the 2 MP macro. Hence, this time, we have reduced both the size of the camera module and the number of cameras, and this Phone is only includes a main camera and an ultra-wide-angle lens.” Last year’s iQOO Neo 7 Technology Pro had a triple camera setup with a 2 MP macro lens.

Talking about some of the prominent camera features of iQOO Neo 9 Pro, the spokesperson highlighted that the device comes with both hardware and software camera enhancements, which include Vivo’s VCS colour grading technology that reduces the noise and offers more natural-looking colours. The device also has AI-powered night mode, which helps capture clearer skies even in low-light situations.

Chauhan added that the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, with its dedicated Supercomputing Chip Q1, enables experiences like 144fps gaming through the game frame interpolation technique on select games, and it also enhances the gaming resolution to 900p.

This Phone is launching in India on February 22, and the device will compete against other performance-oriented smartphones like the recently launched OnePlus 12R (review), which is also based on the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. This is already available for pre-order on Amazon, and the listing confirms that the smartphone will be available in at least two colour variants.

Other prominent features include a dual-tone design, Sony IMX920 sensor-powered primary camera, 5,160 mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging, 6.78-inch FHD+ 144Hz LTPO display with up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, and up to 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of internal storage.

SAN DIEGO —The U.S. Marine Corps will put a new type of missile-delivery drone to the test in an operational scenario this month, following a year of developmental work, according to a senior service official.

Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl, the deputy commandant of the Marine Corps for combat development and integration, told reporters the service had been working on two autonomous, low-profile vessels, which resemble drug runners’ semi-submersible boats seen in Central America. The boats are designed to carry two Naval Strike Missiles to Marine units ashore, stealthily delivering their payload without attracting any attention.

“They’re very, very hard — if not downright impossible — to track,” Heckl told reporters after speaking on a panel at the WEST 2024 conference here hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute an AFCEA International. That is because the boats produce almost no wake while gliding through the water, he explained.

After working with a “mom and pop shop” to design and build the two craft, Heckl said the Marine Corps has demonstrated it can launch and recover them from the Navy’s Expeditionary Fast Transport vessels and the Marines’ Stern Landing Vessels.

This month, the Marines will demonstrate the full evolution of using these boats to resupply Marines ashore with the missiles they need to fire at ships from land.

Heckl said the boats will play a role in the Army-led Project Convergence Capstone 4 event in California, featuring in a “multi-domain mobility corridor” phase of the exercise designed to test equipment for resupply and logistics missions.

Service tests so far have been “very successful,” he added, describing the price tag as so low that the craft can be deemed expendable if lost. If the Marine Corps does decide to pursue buying these in larger numbers, however, Heckl said the service will have to find a bigger contractor for production.

The type-2 strain is thought to have been eradicated so long ago that the current polio vaccine no longer protects against it!

polio Vaccine

New Delhi: The Ghaziabad district court has asked the government to re-test samples of polio vaccines made by Ghaziabad-based Bio-Med Pvt. Ltd after the company contested results of a test that found contamination, two people aware of the matter said.

The retest will be done at the government-run Central Drugs Laboratory in Kasauli. In September, traces of polio type-2 virus, believed to be long eradicated, were discovered in the vaccines made by Bio-Med Pvt. Ltd, putting India’s polio-free status at risk.

“In their plea to the court, they (Bio-Med) have asked for retesting of samples, challenging the report which found its samples contaminated,” said one of the persons aware of the matter.

“The company is doing everything to get the matter delayed. The samples will be sent for retesting to the Kasauli laboratory,” added the second person.

Drug inspectors working to unearth the mystery behind the contamination of polio vaccines since September last year had in October also travelled to Indonesia’s PT Bio Farma Pvt Ltd, the company that supplies the bulk vaccine called key starting material (KSM). However, they did not find anything amiss there, bringing the spotlight back to the Indian firm that supplied the final vaccine to an official immunization programme.

According to the people cited above, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the 50-page report submitted by drug inspectors to the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) did not find “any contamination” in the KSM supplied by PT Bio Farma. “They supply KSM to many other countries and the team has not found any contamination at their end. There are some minor good manufacturing practices (GMP) related issues which will be communicated to the firm, but as far as polio contamination is concerned, the team did not find any evidence of contamination at the Indonesia site,” said the first person cited above.

PT Bio Farma said it has “proactively investigated” the matter, including batch review, facility assessment and testing of retain samples of all bulks shipped to Bio-Med using validated test methods. “Results have shown that there have not been any discrepancies in the manufacture of these bulks. Test results of retain samples do not indicate presence of type 2 polio virus,” the company said in an e-mailed response.

“Polio bulks of the same batches have also been shipped to our other partners as well as utilized by Bio Farma with no complaints of the kind,” it said.

An email sent to Bio-Med on Monday remained unanswered till press time. The company’s managing director, who was arrested in September after the test results came out, was released on bail after 14 days in judicial custody.

“The MD was charged under sections 37 A, C, section 17 (a), section 27 (a) under the Drugs and Cosmetics (D&C)Act. As per the Act, it is a non-bailable offence. To be released on bail, his lawyer referred to a decision by Allahabad high court as per which drug inspectors do not have a power to file a police complaint. We have now asked the law ministry for their opinion so that we can file a special leave petition in the SC stating to quash the order of Allahabad high court and Ghaziabad’s district court order of granting bail so that further action on the firm and its officials can be taken,” said the second person.

Polio drops, which carry weakened polio viruses, are given to children below the age of five under a government programme designed to build their immunity against the crippling disease. The type 2 strain is thought to have been eradicated so long ago that the current polio vaccine no longer protects against it, and vaccine makers have been asked to remove it from the vaccine and destroy their stocks of the strain.

However, this September, experts at the World Health Organization (WHO) found type 2 polio virus in sewage and stool samples. The batches came from Bio-Med, which was supplying polio vaccines for the government-run universal immunization programme. Around 50,000 vials—one vial has 20 doses—of contaminated vaccine are believed to have been used in Uttar Pradesh and Telangana.

Sonia Gandhi files nomination for Rajya Sabha elections from Rajasthan!

Sonia Gandhi, who is chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, was Congress president for almost 22 years between 1998 and 2022 and is a five-time Lok Sabha MP from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh.

Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi filed her nomination for the Rajya Sabha election from Rajasthan on Wednesday. Party MP Rahul Gandhi, party’s general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and state party president Govind Singh Dotasra were also present.

Sonia Gandhi, who is chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, was Congress president for almost 22 years between 1998 and 2022 and is a five-time Lok Sabha MP from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh.

The move to file nominations for Rajya Sabha comes ahead of Lok Sabha polls expected to be held in April-May this year.

There are 10 Rajya Sabha seats in Rajasthan. In the upcoming biennial elections, three seats in the State are up for grabs. The ruling BJP is set to get two of the seats, while the Opposition Congress will get one, based on their respective strengths in the State Assembly.

The two BJP candidates are BJP State vice-president and former Minister Chunnilal Garasiya, and former Sumerpur MLA Madan Rathore.

The BJP has 115 and the Congress 70 MLAs in the 200-member State Assembly. A minimum of 67 votes will be required to win one Rajya Sabha seat in the event of a contest.

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was last elected to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan, is retiring in April this year. The term of Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav will come to an end this April. Besides one Rajya Sabha seat in the State has become vacant after the resignation of the BJP’s Kirodi Lal Meena.

The Congress party announced on Wednesday the first list of candidates for the upcoming Rajya Sabha Biennial Elections to be held in various states.

According to an official release from the All India Congress Committee (AICC), “Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has approved the candidature of Sonia Gandhi from Rajasthan and Dr. Akhilesh Prasad Singh from Bihar. Additionally, Abhishek Manu Singhvi has been fielded from Himachal Pradesh and Chandrakant Handore from Maharashtra.”The last day for filing nomination papers is February 15. The term for Rajya Sabha MPs is six years and elections are held after every two years for 33 per cent of the seats.

Currently, the Rajya Sabha has a strength of 245 members.

Out of the total 245 members, which 233 are representatives of the States and Union territories of Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir (w.e.f. 31.10. 2019) and 12 are nominated by the President. 12 are directly nominated by the President who are veterans in the field of art, literature, sports, science etc.

Based on population, each state is allocated a certain number of candidates in the Upper House.

Members of the state legislative assemblies choose Rajya Sabha members through an indirect election system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote (SVT).

Democrat Suozzi wins US House election in New York, eroding Republican majority

by Leave a Comment

Suozzi, who previously held the seat before stepping down to run for governor, defeated Mazi Pilip, an Ethiopian-born Republican county legislator who served in the Israeli military. The district includes a small corner of New York City and some of its eastern suburbs.

Democratic former congressman Tom Suozzi won a special election in New York on Tuesday, Edison Research projected, narrowing an already razor-thin Republican majority in the US House of Representatives that has struggled to pass legislation.

The contest became necessary after the House took the extraordinary step of expelling Republican George Santos, whose dizzying array of lies about his biography led to his indictment on fraud charges.

Suozzi, who previously held the seat before stepping down to run for governor, defeated Mazi Pilip, an Ethiopian-born Republican county legislator who served in the Israeli military. The district includes a small corner of New York City and some of its eastern suburbs.

The result leaves Republicans with a 219-213 majority that has already proven hard to manage, illustrated by the chamber’s failure last week to pass a measure to impeach President Joe Biden’s top border official, Alejandro Mayorkas, which fell short by one vote when a few Republicans voted no.

The House approved the measure on Tuesday, after No. 2 Republican Steve Scalise returned from cancer treatment to cast a decisive vote.

Meanwhile, Democrats retained their slim majority in the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives on Tuesday after winning a special election in a Philadelphia suburb. Republicans, who already control the state Senate, would have taken over the House with a victory.

The New York district, which supported Biden in 2020 before flipping to Republicans in the 2022 mid-term elections, has served as a testing ground for both parties’ messaging ahead of the fall election, when the presidency and control of both chambers of Congress will be at stake.

“This race could be a bellwether for swing suburban districts around the country that are going to decide who controls the gavels of Congress,” said Lawrence Levy, executive dean at Hofstra University’s National Center for Suburban Studies.

Turnout, already expected to be light for a special election in February, was further depressed by a winter storm that blanketed the region on Tuesday morning with several inches of heavy snow, prompting both campaigns to offer free rides to polling places in the afternoon.

Immigration was a central issue, as it has been elsewhere in the country ahead of an expected rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump in November.

Pilip repeatedly hammered Suozzi and the Democratic Party on the issue, accusing them of failing to control crossings at the southern border with Mexico. Pilip was endorsed by a labor union for Border Patrol officers.

“I kept migrants from being sent to Nassau and will secure the border when I get to Congress,” Pilip wrote in a Facebook post, referring to New York state’s Nassau County.

Suozzi, who represented the congressional district for six years before stepping down and running unsuccessfully for governor, called Pilip’s attacks against him misleading and said she has been short of specifics on how she would address border security.

He touted his own bipartisan immigration compromise and criticized Republicans for rejecting a border security deal negotiated in the Senate, which collapsed after Trump urged Republicans to spurn it.

“Ms. Pilip points out there’s a problem, there’s a problem, there’s a problem. She has no solutions,” Suozzi said in the election’s only debate.

He also attacked Pilip on abortion, an issue that Democrats have put front and center since the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated a nationwide right in 2022. Pilip said she is personally against abortion but did not support a federal ban.

IPhone 16 Pro Max leaks: From longest-ever battery life to state-of-the-art camera, everything we know so far!

by Leave a Comment

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumored to have a larger battery, improved camera with a larger sensor size, and potential display sizes of 6.27 and 6.86 inches. It may also feature the Apple A18 bionic chipset and up to 8GB of RAM.

IPhone 16 Pro Max

There is still plenty of time for the launch of the iPhone 16 series, considering that the iPhone 15 series was unveiled at the Wonderlust event just over 5 months ago. However, the rumour mills have been filled with one leak after another about Apple’s upcoming smartphone series and the iOS 18 operating system that will power it.

According to a post by Naver user “yeux1122” cited by Macrumors, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a larger battery and is expected to deliver the “longest battery life ever seen on an iPhone”.

The report while citing supply chain sources notes that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will house a 5% larger battery than its predecessor. Although the actual increase in battery size may not be that large, the report notes that efficiency boosts can help improve the device’s battery performance. 

Other rumours about the iPhone 16 Pro Max include the addition of the Apple A18 bionic chipset and up to 8GB of RAM. Moreover, the report claims that Apple has improved the manufacturing process for the Pro devices’ titanium frame while reducing costs. 

An earlier report by Macrumors had also hinted that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max may boast larger displays, potentially reaching unprecedented sizes of 6.27 and 6.86 inches, respectively, setting new benchmarks for screen real estate on iPhones.

Camera upgrades: 

Meanwhile, another report from Sparrownews suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a 1/1.14-inch Sony IMX903 primary sensor. The report notes that the increase in sensor size will lead to a significant improvement in the detail and clarity of images, even in difficult lighting conditions.

The camera in iPhone 16 Pro models may also feature the use of 1MG+7P moulded glass-plastic modules, which are expected to lead to an improvement in the optical performance of the lens.

Another notable design shift is expected to be the introduction of a vertical camera layout in the base iPhone 16 series models. This move away from the diagonal camera arrangement seen in the iPhone 15 could pave the way for innovative features such as Spatial Video Recording.

PM Modi mega event: On February 13–14, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

PM Modi mega event

The much awaited ‘Ahlan Modi’ community event, which was scheduled to feature Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, has been significantly scaled back due to unfavourable weather in the UAE, according to a news agency PTI report quoting an official involved in the preparations. The decision to postpone the ‘Ahlan Modi’ (Welcome Modi in Arabic) event was made due to unfavourable weather conditions that included heavy rain and lightning strikes throughout the UAE overnight.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will host Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 13–14, 2024. As of this Saturday, the Ministry of External Affairs announced that PM Modi will have made seven trips to the UAE since 2015, including three in the last eight months.

On February 14, Prime Minister Modi will dedicate the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi during his two-day visit. “One of the most important aspects of PM Modi’s visit to the UAE is the inauguration ceremony of the BAPS temple,” Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra stated on Monday. In addition, at a gathering in Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Sports City, the Prime Minister will speak to the Indian community living there.

PM Modi and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, will meet one-on-one. The two leaders will talk about how to further develop, broaden, and fortify their strategic alliance and share their opinions on regional and global matters of shared concern. Additionally, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE’s vice president, prime minister, and minister of defence, will meet with PM Modi.

In 2024, the Prime Minister is scheduled to attend the World Government Summit. He is scheduled to give a special keynote address as the Guest of Honour. 

On February 13, he is also expected to speak to the Indian community in the United Arab Emirates at an event held at Zayed Sports City. Over 65,000 people have registered for the ‘Ahlan Modi’ event in Abu Dhabi, according to news agency ANI, indicating an unprecedented level of interest. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled because of the bad weather. Presently, the event is expected to draw between 35,000 and 40,000 people, including those who are presenting cultural programmes.

Later, on February 14, he will officially open the BAPS Mandir, Abu Dhabi’s first Hindu temple. The BAPS Hindu Mandir is expected to be the first traditional Hindu stone temple in the Middle East. The leadership of the UAE kindly donated the 27 acres of land on which the temple is located. In 2015, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, donated 13.5 acres of land for the construction of the mandir.

On February 14, PM Narendra Modi will depart from his two-day visit to the United Arab Emirates and head to the capital city of Doha, Qatar. The news of PM Modi’s trip to Qatar was made public one day after the Gulf state freed eight Indian naval personnel who had been imprisoned. On Monday morning, seven of them left for India.

Ashok Chavan likely to join BJP, day after quitting Congress!

by Leave a Comment

Ashok Chavan is likely to join the BJP today in Mumbai, his office said, as reported by news agency ANI.

Ashok Chavan join bjp

Former Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan is likely to join the BJP today in Mumbai, a day after he resigned from the Congress delivering a major blow to the party in the state ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election which Congress will be fighting as part of INDIA bloc with Uddhav Sena and Sharad Pawar’s NCP. On Monday, Chavan did not specify his future plan and asserted that he was not in talks with any political party but said that he would announce his next step within 48 hours. Speculations were rife that he would join the BJP, but Chavan denied a specific BJP link on Monday and said he did not decide anything.

While Maharashtra Congress has been witnessing big-ticket exits, this is the first that would help BJP directly as Milind Deora and Baba Siddique chose BJP’s allies in Maharashtra — Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s NCP — but not BJP itself.

Rajya Sabha seat for Ashok Chavan?

After Ashok Chavan’s resignation, it was speculated that he might get a Rajya Sabha berth from the BJP. Uddhav Thackeray said it would be disrespectful to martyred soldiers if Chavan is sent to the Rajya Sabha. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had earlier gone to Nanded (Chavan’s home district) and spoken about corruption committed by Ashok Chavan. They had said Chavan disrespected families of the martyred soldiers…But if the prime minister sends him (Chavan) to Rajya Sabha, it will amount to disrespecting our soldiers,” Uddhav said.

“I have resigned from the Assembly membership as an MLA. I have given my resignation to the Speaker. I have resigned from the Congress Working Committee and the Congress primary membership. I have not decided to join any party. I will clear my stand on joining a party after two days,” Chavan told reporters after resigning from Congress.

Congress in a huddle after Ashok Chavan’s resignation

Ashok Chavan’s resignation caught the Congress unawares and now many MLAs are likely to follow Chavan. Maharashtra Congress in-charge Ramesh Chenniyhala has called for a key meeting of the party leaders in Mumbai. Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam said Ashok Chavan was not happy with the working style of one of the Congress leaders. The Congress leader in question is Nana Patole.

Jacqueline Fernandez files complaint against Sukesh Chandrashekhar: ‘He is threatening with intimidating tactics’

In her letter, Jacqueline Fernandez urged the police commissioner to intervene immediately in the matter. She said that it threatens her safety.

Jacqueline Fernandez files complaint against Sukesh Chandrashekhar

Actor Jacqueline Fernandez has filed a complaint against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar for harassing and threatening her from inside a jail. As reported by Indian Express, she filed the case with Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora. Jacqueline also sent the letter to the Special Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch). A specialised unit has been asked to initiate a preliminary inquiry on the complaint.

What Jacqueline wrote in the letter

In her letter sent a few days ago to the police chief with the subject line: systemic failure in prosecution witness protection, Jacqueline said, “I am responsible citizen, who has found herself inadvertently embroiled in a case that has far-reaching implications for the rule of law and the sanctity of our judicial system. As a prosecution witness in a case registered by the special cell, I write to you amidst a harrowing ordeal of psychological pressure and targeted intimidation campaigns. A man identifying himself as Sukesh is an accused, sitting behind bars in Mandoli Jail, and threatening her with intimidating tactics in open public domain. (sic)”

Jacqueline urged immediate intervention

In her letter, Jacqueline urged the police commissioner to intervene immediately in the matter. She said that it threatens her safety and jeopardises the integrity of the legal processes. She urged that an FIR under IPC sections should be registered against Sukesh to ensure her protection as a prosecution witness in a case under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).

These actions do not merely impinge upon my individual rights; they strike at the heart of our justice system. The principle of witness protection, which is fundamental to the administration of justice, has been compromised, undermining the credibility and efficacy of our legal institutions. It is imperative that all communication channels available to the accused be scrutinised and stringent measures be implemented to prevent further abuse, (sic)” she also said.

About the case

In December last year, Jacqueline moved a Delhi court to seek directions to restrain Sukesh from sending letters, messages, or statements to her. Jacqueline is a witness in the FIR being investigated by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) concerning the ₹200 crore money laundering and extortion case linked to Sukesh.
