New Mobile Launches Affected by Lockdown in India

Due to the Lockdown in place in India, both Amazon.in and Flipkart, as well as other e-commerce online shopping websites are only allowed to sell essential products. So products like mobiles are all listed out of stock or temporarily not available online. During this lockdown period, we have seen a few new mobile launches, but all are yet to go on sale and are not even available to pre-order. 

 OnePlus has launched two flagship Android devices earlier this month. OnePlus 8 Pro and regular OnePlus 8 are powered by Snapdragon 865 chipset and come with 5G support. The Pro model has a custom made 48MP main camera as well as an ultra-wide-angle 48MP shooter. It is also the first OnePlus phone to come with IP68 certification. 

 Xiaomi Mi 10 was scheduled to go on Pre-order on March 31, 2020, online on Amazon.in. It is a flagship device and comes with Samsung made 108MP main camera. It is powered by Snapdragon 865 5G chipset and can record 8K videos.

 iPhone SE 2020 ( 2nd Gen ) is another smartphone launched in India during this lockdown phase. It is a rebranded iPhone 8 with iPhone 11 Pro chipset and is priced at $399 in the US and Rs 42,500 in India. 

 Realme Narzo 10 and 10A are two other devices affected by this lockdown. These are mid-range budget phones and was expected to go on sale this month online on Flipkart.

 Motorola is back with a flagship Android smartphone after a while. Motorola Edge Plus comes with Snapdragon 865 chipset and has a 108MP main camera sensor like the Mi 10. It is expected to launch in India in the coming months. 

 IQOO3 with Snapdragon 865, even though was available before the lockdown is clearly affected as well. They have now seen a small price drop as well.

 When will you be able to buy Mobiles online from Flipkart and Amazon.in again? There is no specific date provided by the Govt yet, so you will have to wait at least until the first week of may provided the infection rate does not get out of control in coming days. Stay Safe.

[ FIX ] Ubuntu 20.04 Bluetooth doesn't Turn On

I have been using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a while now with my Ubuntu 20.04. Everything worked well without any issues until one day the operating system refused to turn on the Bluetooth. I could toggle Bluetooth On button from the Settings, but it did nothing.  After spending some time Google Searching why my Bluetooth started not working all of a sudden, and after trying a variety of commands to troubleshoot the problem, I finally found a working fix for this issue. Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T )  and enter below commands one after another.  sudo rmmod btusb sudo modprobe btusb That's it. Your Bluetooth issue would be now solved.  I can guarantee you this problem is going to pop-up every now and then. So copy the above commands to a text file for future uses. Sometimes, even after entering above commands the bluetooth would refuse to turn on. In such cases, just Suspend the system and then wake up it again and check.

Reduce External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu 20.04, 21.10

External Monitors are a great addition to any workspace. I have a Full HD Benq one connected with my laptop via HDMI cable to do multi-tasking. What I don't like about this setup is the external screen is still very bright even after setting it to the lowest possible setting via physical buttons present on the monitor. Changing brightness on the Laptop doesn't affect the brightness of the external monitor. However, In Ubuntu, you can adjust the brightness level of any connected monitor by opening up a terminal/command line and entering a few comments. Xrandr is the command we would be using to achieve this. How to change External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu Linux Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) Enter the command xrandr -q | grep " connected" and press Enter. Find the external monitor name displayed in this command's output. In my case, it is  HDMI-1 To change the brightness enter this command xrandr --output HDMI-1 --brightness 0.5 and press Ente...
