    Last year, Blackberry confirmed that the company is licensing its brand to OnwardMobility to sell phones under the same moniker and even announced some ambitious plans. And now, a new report has confirmed that a product will be launching sometime in 2021 with a physical keyboard and 5G connectivity. 
    IT Home reports that OnwardMobility CEO, Peter Franklin hinted at a 2021 launch of a smartphone that will retain the classic physical keyboard. The smartphone is expected to launch in North America, Europe and Asia as well. As of now, a date has not been set for the reboot launch yet, however it seems likely that the phone will launch very soon.

    It’s not certain how the market will react to a physical keyboard since most phones now use a touchscreen display and how users interact with a smartphone has changed in general. Blackberry’s revival in 2016 was not a major success when the company partnered with TCL. Phones such as the Blackberry Key 2 and Key 2 LE were not as successful as other smartphones. Even though the phones were productivity-oriented and were based on Android, it only targeted enterprise users which led to its failure in the first place. 

    Since most users are now used to touchscreen keyboards, the physical QWERTY keyboard was not deemed a massive success and some feel OnwardMobile is doing the same mistake all over again.
    “We really see a need for a 5G BlackBerry, Android smartphone with a physical keyboard and being a flagship device,” said Peter Franklin, CEO of OnwardMobility told PCMag in an interview last year. 
    “To me, the keyboard is one of those things where your brain subconsciously picks up on very minute differences between devices. It’s paramount to me that we have a great experience and a great feel both for the tactility of the keyboard, and how the keys respond and feel,” said Franklin when asked about the physical keyboard.

    From what we can gather, the next Blackberry smartphone will run on Android OS and have Blackberry security services installed as well. It will be interesting to see how the physical keyboard works on the smartphone and whether the market will be receptive to the classic feature.

    Poco has been making some compelling smartphones even though some might be rehashed versions of other models. However, its latest M3 model is by far the most unique looking and value for money smartphone available in India right now. The Poco M3 launched in India for Rs 10,999 and when comparing the specifications on board to other phones in the same category, the Poco M3 is hard to ignore. We’ve been using the smartphone for the past 10 days and here’s what we think about the latest budget offering:
    Design and Display Poco M3’s design is quite unique to its category as it comes with a distinct appearance that one can spot from afar. At the back, the smartphone has a massive rectangular camera module with elegant branding on the right side that somehow fits with the overall design of the phone. We’ve seen this before on the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk Edition and this looks almost identical.

    The back of the phone also uses a plastic material that has a grainy texture to it. Had the phone used a plain plastic back, I wouldn't be much of a fan of the design, however the textured back does give the phone a slight premium feel. It's not on the same level as flagship phones, but the design is quite far ahead of other models in the same price category.

    At the front, the smartphone uses a water-drop cutout for the selfie camera which feels like a design choice from 2018. Most phones now use a punch-hole design and it feels like Poco M3 decided to use the leftover inventory of the water-drop displays to keep the price low. Much like the M2, the M3 also comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on the power button which works fairly well and faster than in-display scanners.

    The phone is available in three colours i.e. black, blue and yellow where the yellow models look most attractive to me judging from the pictures. I’ve been using the blue variant which also looks awesome as it is quite subtle and is not jarring to look at.

    The Poco M3 uses a 1080 x 2340 pixels FHD+ LCD panel which is good enough for a budget-friendly smartphone. The screen may not offer deep blacks as an sAMOLED display but it still gets the job done. The overall experience of viewing content on social media and OTT apps is largely similar to most budget phones with a peak brightness level of 400 nits. The screen does a great job indoors but can be hard to use under direct sunlight. Colours seem fairly accurate for an LCD panel but can give that highly saturated look in certain videos. Overall, the display is decent to use for daily video consumption as it does not have any colour bleeding or any tinting problems. 
    Camera  © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The Poco M3 comes with a 48MP primary camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP Depth camera. I would have preferred an ultra-wide lens over a macro camera on the phone but for some reason, Poco decided to include the least used sensor on a smartphone instead. The camera app is fairly straightforward to use apart from a few modes that are buried between the menus such as Night Mode and Macro shots.

    The Poco M3’s camera performance is quite standard as it can take some decent shots when there is enough natural light. However, once you are indoors and do not have enough light coming in, the overall picture tends to lose details. The camera also takes slightly longer to focus on objects which can be a bit frustrating as a smartphone’s camera should work as a point and shoot device. Portrait images are fairly accurate thanks to the depth sensor as it managed to apply the bokeh effect quite accurately. It can detect objects as well which is quite handy and you can even adjust the level of a blur after taking a shot. 
    The macro lens lets you take close up shots of objects but in my experience, the final image was quite blurry and did not have enough details to justify the feature. The image also comes out in a lower resolution which defeats the purpose of having a macro lens in the first place.

    Capturing images in low light can be a bit of a pain as the camera app does take its sweet time in charting images. While using Night Mode, it takes particularly long to capture an image where you can find yourself waiting 3-4 seconds for the entire process to finish. There is noticeable grain and sometimes over-saturation which makes the final image not worth sharing on social media.

    Performance and Battery Life The Poco M3 for a budget phone runs exceptionally well when it comes to carrying out tasks like social media, internet browsing, navigation and instant messaging. You can easily multitask between apps even though it is slightly slower than what we expected. Having said that, the animations and overall scrolling experience do feel slower than previous Poco phones.

    In our benchmark tests, the Poco M3 scored 312 (single-core) and 1254 (multi-core) on Geekbench 5. While this may not seem much in comparison to flagship phones, the score is appropriate in regards to how much the phone costs. Since the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor coupled with 6GB of RAM; it’s quite impressive to see how the phone scored considering its price. 
    For gamers, the Poco M3 may not be the ideal smartphone to use to play competitive online games and RPGs like Genshin Impact. There are some frame rate drops in high graphic settings and the only way to enjoy games is by lowering the graphic settings. Additionally, the phone does throttle a bit and gets slightly warm around the camera module area. If you are looking to game on this smartphone, the Poco M3 is more suited for casual games that do not require much GPU power. 
    The Poco M3 comes with a 6,000mAh battery that can easily last you 1.5 days on a single charge depending on your usage. The battery can also be fast-charged as it supports 18W PD fast charging that can fully charge the battery in about 2 hours. 
    The Final Say The Poco M3, as a budget phone, gets everything done that you need from a smartphone. While some features do need improvement, it is still a compelling device to consider for Rs 10,999. The Poco M3 may not be the best at gaming or taking low-light images, it is still good enough for power users who use a phone for most use cases. The Poco M3 is the most unique looking smartphone in its category and does not disappoint when it comes to battery life. The Poco M3 also does not serve any ads in its user interface which makes the overall experience far less annoying as compared to Redmi smartphones.

    When it comes to Kangana Ranaut, people now have a fair idea that the Manikarnika actor has no calm and can be nosy in matters that might not even require her attention. In her recent tweet, Kangana Ranaut took a dig at the American president Joe Biden by addressing him as, 'Communists puppy Gajni'. Her tweet came after the Biden administration withdrew from Trump's policy on tracking Chinese influence in US schools and universities.
    Communists puppy Gajni ... https://t.co/hwElS5eroe
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) February 16, 2021
    After the tweet started to get traction, people started bashing Kangana for poking into the matters of American politics and asked her to focus on what's happening in our country. People are angry with her as they are not okay with her spoiling the country's image.
    Stay out of US affairs and focus on your circus land…

    — JHON DO (@JHONDO88118179) February 16, 2021Kangana is also in the news after she joined Koo, the Indian micro-blogging platform that is being touted as an alternative to Twitter. Kangana wrote in her profile description that she is a 'desh bhakt (nationalist)' and a 'hot-blooded Kshatriya (warrior) woman'. Sharing the information on Twitter, she wrote: "This is my Koo account follow me here...I want to find all my friends here DM me as and when you join. Listen to interesting thoughts by kanganarofficial on Koo App."

    Kangana has also been in the headlines after Twitter had deleted two of her tweets over violation of the platform's guidelines. Kangana's relationship with Twitter is known to all and her tweets never fail to create a stir.
    In October last year, Ranaut and her sister were booked for allegedly promoting enmity between communities through their remarks. The Bandra Police had booked them under Indian Penal Code's (IPC's) sections 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race), 295-A (deliberate acts hurting religious sentiments) and 124-A (sedition), and 34 (common intention).
    Ranaut's counsel Rizwan Siddique told a bench of Justices SS Shinde and Manish Pitale that the actor had not crossed her limits or committed any wrong through her tweets.
    "None of my tweets have invoked any reactions from the public. They will not attract punishment as they were not followed by violence. What happened after the tweet? Was there any criminal act after my tweets?" Siddique said on behalf of Ranaut.

    The fans of the Indian cricket team were boiling with rage when Indian paceman Mohammed Siraj dropped a sitter of a catch to dismiss England captain Joe Root and took away the opportunity from teammate Kuldeep Yadav of his first Test wicket in over two years.
    Bowling just his second over of the second innings, Yadav was under an immense amount of pressure to finally take scalp a wicket after warming the bench for the Indian Test cricket team for over 25 months, especially after taking a five-wicket haul at the Sydney Cricket Ground to help his side win the first Test series in Australia, period.

    And he saw a chance flash in front of his eyes when Root went for yet another infamous sweep and the ball edged on the toe of the bat and flew towards Siraj who simply had to walk down a couple of steps to palm the ball easily.

    But instead of securing the dolly and running towards the bowler to celebrate, Siraj ended up rolling on the field as the ball bounced off his arms and onto the ground.
    Its time Kuldeep grabs Siraj by the neck#INDvsENG

    — ಧನುಷ್ ಪಿ | Dhanush P Chitradurga (@tulsidhanush91) February 16, 2021The rage comes off the back of an eyebrow-raising incident which took place during the first Test match at Chepauk when a video of the two athletes went viral in which Siraj could be seen grabbing Yadav by his neck and the latter appeared to be caught by surprise.
    Now it's time to give answer about this video #Siraj .
    You dropped catch.#INDvENG #kuldeep pic.twitter.com/CVNfkvEqmE
    — चन्दन शर्मा🇮🇳 (@ch627) February 16, 2021
    Fortunately, Kuldeep’s wait for a wicket was finally over when in his next over, it was England’s wicket-keeping batsman Ben Foakes who tried his hand at a sweep and this time around it was Axar Patel who caught the ball to make the poor spinner jump in joy at the end of the first session of the day.
    Axar makes up for Siraj's blooper and gets Kuldeep his wicket. Foakes rather than Root but I'm sure he won't mind. Has to be careful now so Ashwin can get the two out of the last three he needs for his 10fer... #INDvENG

    At this point, the match is for Virat Kohli and the Men in Blue to win. With a little more than a day and a half left in the series, the Indian bowlers have more than enough overs in them to remove the four more players off the pitch and tie the series at 1-1 ahead of the pink-ball Test at Ahmedabad’s Sardar Patel Stadium.

    If you are a fan of the Indian cricket team and have been following their Test cricket journey for the past couple of years, you would have noticed the rise of wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant as the team’s primary motivator.
    Spending all of his time behind the wicket during India’s fielding session, Pant has taken upon himself to keep his teammates tuned in and not lose the zeal to keep delivering one ball after another with the intent of dismissing the opposing batsmen.
    Can there be a day or session with commentary by @RishabhPant17 behind the stumps.#RishabhPant #INDvENG

    — Prashant Bhayani (@prashantbhayani) February 14, 2021
    A little bit of humour, some advice for the bowlers, comments to keep their morale high and sometimes even calling them out for showing sloppiness on the field, the 23-year-old does a little bit of everything to ensure his guys remain in the optimal state of mind over the five days of a Test match.
    Sometimes, in the process, the notorious mind of the southpaw comes up with such comments which not only rejuvenate his teammates with a funny comment but even gets the fans who’re watching the match on the television or online.
    Rishabh Pant makes it a point to pat Axar Patel and Ishant Sharma on the back as they return to the dressing room. Then gives a thumbs up to Kuldeep as he defends his first ball and authoritatively turns down Kuldeep's call for a single off the last ball @sportstarweb pic.twitter.com/B8JHnFtDoN
    — Ayan (@ayan_acharya13) February 14, 2021
    The first session of the second Test at the Chepauk Stadium, Chennai had a similar effect when Pant simply butchered teammate Axar Patel’s name with his exaggerated English accent (because you know… we’re playing against England).
    With the hopes of motivating the left-arm spinner, Pant said “Come on Axar Pachel,” on more than one occasion and while the fans let it go a first couple of times, they eventually caught up with it and  started talking about it on social media.

    — Vasisht Balaji (@vasisht_bs) February 16, 2021Pant has been criticised for lacking the skills of a great wicket-keeper and was sledged by Team India fans for dropping catches on multiple occasions during India’s tour of Australia. 
    However, based on the way the Roorkee-born has been playing for the past couple of matches against England in India, it is evident that he is getting significantly better.
    During the first session on Tuesday, Pant’s heroics behind the wicket led to an incredible stumping of Dan Lawrance in the 26th over and garnered a lot of praise from all over the country.

    In the current era of international cricket, Virat Kohli has become one of the most polarising stars from all over the world. While most simply adore him for his textbook technique and excitement on the field, others feel the guy plays dressing room politics and keeps his “favourite players” in the team.
    Struggling to put up good enough numbers (based on the kind of elite-level batsman he is), Kohli was finally able to play two crucial innings for his team including a stunning 62-run stint in the middle on Day 3 when the rest of the world was complaining about how tricky and unplayable the Chennai pitch was.
    This pitch is a Road !!!
    — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) February 15, 2021
    When Kohli’s wicket fell, he went back to the pavilion with his head held high, he knew how important his contribution was to the team and the people who were to expand India’s lead after him. 

    For most of the cricketers, that would have been the end of their offerings towards their side’s winning cause and the next we’d see of them would have been when it was time for them to field. But not Virat Kohli.
    Throughout India’s second innings and later as the fielding side, Kohli not only managed to give his best while it was needed from him to be aggressive and stitch up a good innings, he also got extremely involved every single time one of his teammates did something remarkable… and there were a lot of moments.
