A few days ago, Google announced a new policy for the Google Photos service. This time the tech giant company has come up with a new feature for this gallery app. Photos or videos can be saved and edited in the Google Photos app. However, Google has recently introduced a new Collage Designs for Photos which will be displayed in the Recent Highlights option. The rollout of this new update has started since the beginning of last week.

Old photos can be seen in the carousel at the top of Google Photos, it looks a lot like the Instagram Story interface. On the other hand, in the 'Recent Highlights' section, users can see the 'best' image among their newly captured images. Interestingly, photos taken on the same day or at the same event in this section will be merged into a collage after the new update. For now, two options – standard and general – can be used for collages.

Also, Google Photos features a blackboard-style design with a chalk border for the collage. According to Google, several new collage designs can be used in this update. According to the portal Android Police, one of the designs will have a floral background, a tipstar has claimed. These new collage designs are just beginning to roll out so it is not yet clear exactly how many designs can be used.
In this case, users can check the Recent Highlights tab of their Google Photos app.

Meanwhile, Google has announced that from the first day of next year, i.e. from January 1, 2021, users will not be able to use the free backup storage in the Google Photos app. Users will be able to use only 15 GB of storage for free, it will cost some money to save more photos than the specified limit. Google also said that it would cost money or a subscription to use some of the editing features of Google Photos. This decision upset many users. It is believed that the American company has introduced a new collage design to make the users happy.

The Nokia 5.3 phone was launched in the Indian market last August. Less than a month later, Nokia phone maker HMD Global started working on an upgraded version of Nokia 5.4. According to a recent report, the Nokia 5.4 phone will have far more quality and features than its predecessor. The report claims that the phone will even launch with Nokia 7.3 5G later this year. The Nokia 5.4 is expected to come in blue and purple

According to this report from NokiaPowerUser, the Nokia 5.4 smartphone may come with a 6.4-inch punch-hole display. Compared to its predecessor Nokia 5.3, this phone is likely to use a more advanced processor. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Again, the use of Android 11 as the operating system can be seen in the phone. In terms of storage, the phone can come with the option of 4 + 128 GB. Like the predecessor, this phone may have a quad-camera setup. However, nothing more is known about Nokia 5.4.

Price and specification of Nokia 5.3

The Nokia 5.3 phone was launched in India with a starting price of Rs 13,999. The phone had a 6.55-inch HD Plus display. Its display resolution is 1800 x 720 pixels and aspect ratio is 20: 9. It also used Snapdragon 85 processor and Adreno 610 GPU.

Speaking of the camera, it came with a quad camera setup, whose primary camera is 13 megapixels. Others include a 5 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, a 2 megapixel depth and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. It had an 8-megapixel front camera for selfies.

The Nokia 5.3 came with a 4000 mAh battery. It had a USB Type-C port for charging. The phone was powered by Android 10 operating system. In the future it will come with Android 11 and 12 updates. The phone came in cyan, sand and charcoal color options.

Apple's iOS or Android, there is no end to the practice of who gives more benefits to the user. Both systems offer fancy benefits. However, in some cases, Android users still lag behind Apple users. For example, iPhone apps can also be used on Apple's computer or laptop. But it is not possible to use Android app on computer or laptop in general. Of course, Microsoft also has the Your Phone app. But it is not available on all phones. This app is available on some selected smartphones of Samsung Galaxy. But this time the situation is going to change. Microsoft is currently working on a project that will allow the Android app to be used on Windows 10 systems.

Microsoft is working on the Project Latte project

Microsoft is currently working on a software solution called Project Latte. This will allow developers to bring Android apps to Windows 10. In addition, it does not require much modification of the apps.

According to Windows Central, Microsoft's Project Latte is based on the Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL). WSL will soon have support for the GUI Linux app as well as the GPU app. This will improve the performance of Android apps in Windows 10 using WSL.

However, the developers do not need to be happy to hear about this project right now. The report states that Google does not allow Play Services to be installed anywhere other than Android smartphones or devices with Chrome OS. For this reason, developers need to rely on the Play Services API to include apps in Windows 10 systems.

It is worth mentioning that Microsoft has tried to bring Android apps in Windows 10 before. The company had earlier been working on a project called Astoria for the same purpose. But unfortunately this project did not succeed. Now it remains to be seen whether Project Latte can succeed. If all goes well, Microsoft's project could come next year.

When Windows 10 is not activated or the license expires, Microsoft adds a watermark to the screen to remind you to turn it on. At the bottom, a text appears on the right corner, "Activate Windows 10 – Go to settings to activate Windows." A valid product key is needed to remove this text. This key is used to activate the system. Call Windows Defender as soon as it is activated or other security features or other benefits including customizing the operating system are available. However, this activation text can be easily vanished forever by following multiple paths without the product key. Today we will show you such an easy way. So let's find out how to remove Activate Windows 10 Watermark from computer.

How to remove Windows 10 watermark through Registry Editor

1. First, click on the Start menu and search by typing ‘Regedit’. Then click on Registry Editor search results.
2. Now go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER> Control Panel> Desktop Location.
3. Now scroll down to the Desktop folder and double click on PaintDesktopVersion.
4. Select Hexadecimal there, put 0 in place of the value data and click OK to close the registry editor.

Then restart Windows Ten to make it work. Then log in and you will see that your work is done, the ‘Activate Window’ watermark will no longer be visible.

Like other telecom companies, Vi (Vodafone Idea) also offers prepaid plans as well as postpaid plans. Among the company's postpaid plans, REDX is the most popular. The most interesting aspect of this plan is the one year Netflix subscription. However, this time users of Vi's REDX plan will get additional benefits. From now on, customers will be able to choose any Netflix plan from the MyVi app when renewing a Netflix subscription. This plan can also be changed directly from the Netflix account.

By the way, Vi's REDX plan of Rs. 1099 offers Netflix facility of Rs. 598 per year. If you register through the MyVi app, you will get a balance credit of Rs 598 for one year in your Netflix account. Users can renew Netflix subscriptions from the MyVi app as long as they are on the REDX plan.

To renew REDX's Netflix subscription after one year, open the MyVi app and go to the Plan Benefits section. Note that REDX customers will receive a 7-day window before the end of 1 year to renew a Netflix subscription. The company will request to renew the subscription via SMS and email before the deadline.

Customers who are still on the old Rs 999 REDX plan have no reason to be upset. They can also take advantage of REDX-Netflix for one year through the MyVi app. Taking advantage of REDX-Netflix will incur an exit fee of Rs 3,000 for 6 months. This fee is charged so that no one changes plans or interrupts postpaid connections in the meantime.

Those who took advantage of REDX-Netflix last year but have not renewed will be charged on a monthly basis with postpaid bills or with Netflix payment mode. Those who deactivated their Netflix accounts later with REDX-Netflix last year will also have the opportunity to renew. Netflix can be taken advantage of anew through the MyVi app.

Everyone must have heard of the fun virtual game called ‘Go India’ from the UPI payment app Google Pay. Google Pay's Android and iOS users will be able to virtually visit 30 cities in India with this game and will get a guaranteed prize of Rs 101 to Rs 501 if they visit all the cities. The game was supposed to end on November 25. But as the game gained widespread popularity, Google decided to keep it running until December 26th to encourage users. As a result, those who have not been able to collect tickets for a specific city until November 25th will have one more month to enjoy the game and win prizes. On the other hand, there is an opportunity for those who are interested to play the game anew.

For those who don't know, after visiting 4-5 cities in the 'Go India' game, users will get some vouchers from online platforms like Ajio, Yatra, Nykaa etc. You can also get city tickets, kilometers, bonus scratch cards or cash prizes by participating in special events of the game. Note that for any virtual city tour, you need to collect both city tickets and kilometers (KM).

How to get kilometers and tickets for ‘Go India’ game

Tickets for different cities can be collected by making a payment through Google Pay, sharing a ticket to a friend or asking a friend for a specific ticket. Also, if you share your own map, you will get some tickets and kilometers.

How to play the game 'Go India' on Google Pay

1. Open the Google Pay app from your Android or iOS device.
2. Search for the 'Go India' option at the top or bottom of the Payments section and click there.

After smartphones and feature phones, is HMD Global going to launch Nokia branded laptops in India this time? Nokia's nine laptops have recently received BIS certification in India. According to popular tipster Mukul Sharma's tweet, Nokia has NKi510UL82S, NKi510UL85S, NKi510UL165S, NKi510UL810S, NKi510UL1610S, NKi310UL41S, NKi310UL42S, NKi310ULST2, NKi310ULTS.

The chipset and operating system of the laptops in this series can be estimated after looking at the BIS listing. The model number of each laptop starts with NK, which indicates Nokia. Then there's the i5 / i3, which undoubtedly indicates which chipset to use on the laptop. And then having 10 means they will run Windows Ten operating system. As is clear from the listing, 5 of these laptops will come with Intel's i5 processor, and the rest will have i3 processors. Nokia has not yet commented on the matter. However, after getting BIS certification, it is clear that these laptops from Nokia are coming to the market soon.

According to the BIS listing, these laptops will be manufactured by Tongfang Limited in China. Let me inform you that HMD Global is in charge of selling Nokia feature phones and smart phones. Flipkart, on the other hand, has a strategic partnership with Nokia, and under the agreement, Flipkart develops, manufactures and distributes Nokia branded TVs in India, along with Nokia's media streaming devices. As a result, there is a question mark over who will market Nokia laptops in India, Flipkart or HMD Global.

If you look at Nokia's history, its presence in the computer and laptop business can also be noticed. Nokia Data, Nokia's computer division, released a number of computers and laptops in the MikroMikko lineup from 1980-8. However, in 1991, Nokia sold its computer arm to a British company. Then in 2009 Nokia announced the introduction of a netbook (mini laptop) called Nokia Booklet 3G. The integrated 3G modem, HD screen, fan-free design and great battery life of this netbook running on Windows 7 operating system was highly appreciated. Later, Nokia's products were not seen in the market. It remains to be seen whether Nokia will make a comeback in the laptop market this year.
