    Apple has finally announced the new iPhone 12 series of smartphones and the wait is finally over. Unlike previous iPhone launches, the iPhone 12 launched a month later due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was aptly named “Hi-Speed” thanks to the new chipset and 5G connectivity on the new phones. 
    Apple announced four new iPhone 12 models today that range from 5.4-inches to 6.7-inches in screen size. The smallest model has been aptly named iPhone 12 mini while others follow the usual iPhone nomenclature like the 11. The new smartphones are a bit different from the previous models and take inspiration from the iPhone 4 and iPad Pro instead. The new iPhones are now squared off around the sides instead of using the blended design we are used to since the iPhone 6. The design of the new iPhones is a bit boxier than before and has flatter edges as well.

    The good news this year is that all models now use OLED displays which was previously only reserved for the Pro models. Apple is no longer going to use LCDs in their lower-end models except future iPhone SE models. Apple calls these displays “Super Retina XDR” however it is a standard OLED display you may have seen on other phones before. Having said that, Apple does use a higher quality of OLED displays than most budget-flagship devices out there. The new displays also come with something called 'Ceramix Shield' that adds four times better drop performance and more durability.
    All four models also support 5G connectivity, however, in India, the phones will only support the sub-6Ghz 5G protocol. The phones also have a new 'Smart Data Mode' that allocates 4G/5G according to application bandwidth. This means the phone will only use 5G when required and help in improving the battery life. The iPhone is capable of doing 4 GBPS network speeds in ideal situations and 1 GBPS in normal situations. 
    Here are some other details of every iPhone 12 model that was announced today:
    iPhone 12 mini: (c) Apple
    - 5.4-inch AMOLED Display that supports HDR10 content. 
    - Black, white, Product Red, blue, and green colours
    - 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB
    - Dolby Vision video recording
    - Dual camera, 12MP wide-angle + ultra-wide angle, 1.6 aperture

    - 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB
    - Dual camera, 12MP wide-angle + ultra-wide angle, 1,6 aperture

    - 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB

    -12 MP wide-angle, ultra-wide angle, telephoto + LiDAR, wide-angle of the new 7P lens, 1.6, 65mm focal length telephoto, 5x optical zoom, “Expanded” ultra-wide capabilities
    - Dolby Vision video recording
    - 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB
    All four iPhones are also powered by Apple’s latest SoC i.e. the A14 Bionic. We already know about the chipset, thanks to Apple’s event last month as it is also being used in the 2020 iPad Air. The A14 Bionic chipset is the worlds’ first 5nm SoC with 11.8 billion transistors that also makes it more power-efficient and faster than any other mobile SoC in the market. Game performance is boosted by upwards of 50%, thanks to a special emphasis on multi-core performance. The chipset has a new four-core GPU that makes it the fastest GPU on any phone. The chipset is also capable of 70% faster ML processes. 
    In the camera department, Apple has improved on Night Mode by using computational photography and also bringing the feature to the front-facing camera. The 1.6 aperture on the primary camera also enables the phone to take better images low-light. The iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max will also be getting a new feature called Apple ProRAW. It will come to the Pro models later this year. The feature puts multi-frame smartHDR into a RAW format. Elements such as sharpening, white balance, can be adjusted in post within the photos app itself. Third-party apps will also be able to take advantage of this feature and we can't wait to see how developers implement this feature in their own apps. For video enthusiasts, the iPhone 12 Pro can record video in Dolby Vision HDR and in 10-bit HDR. This feature alone shows how powerful the A14 Bionic chipset is and the results looked quite impressive from the demo video shown by Apple. iPhone 12 Pro is the only phone that will let users capture and edit Dolby Vision content right on the phone. 
    The new iPhone 12 Pro's LiDAR scanner also helps in photography and augmented reality. The scanner can detect objects, scan rooms and also supports the Pro camera system. It will also be used for autofocus in low-light for both photos and videos. The scanner makes the iPhone 12 Pro cameras six times faster for focusing in low-light and for depth detection in night mode portrait shots. 
    The new iPhones also come with additional magnets for wireless charging that helps the phone to snap-on to supported wireless chargers. Apple also announced its wireless chargers that use the “MagSafe” branding from the MacBook chargers. Apple announced a new wireless charger where it has a dual charging pad that can charge the iPhone and accessories like the AirPods Pro as well. The MagSafe magnets can also be used for other accessories like wallets that simply snap-on to the back of the iPhone 12.

    To many people's disappointment, Apple has also removed accessories from the box such as the headphones and power adapters for environmental reasons. It also results in a smaller retail box and helps Apple reduce its carbon footprint.


    HomePod Mini  (c) Apple
    Alongside the iPhone 12, Apple also announced a bunch of accessories and one of them happens to be a smaller version of the company’s smart speaker. The new Siri-powered speaker costs only $99 and measures at 3.3-inches. The smart speaker is powered by Apple’s S5 processor which you can also find on the Apple Watch Series 5 and the newly announced Apple Watch SE. The smaller HomePod is about half the size of its bigger brother and has been designed to compete with Amazon’s Echo lineup and Google’s Nest mini devices. The speaker has a somewhat half-sphere design that kind of represents an eyeball. At the top, you will find a touch-capacitive that can be used for controlling the volume and play/pause music. It uses computational audio and automatically tunes the music in real-time according to its environment. It can adjust the loudness, frequencies and dynamic range by measuring the room 180 times a second. The HomePod Mini will sell in India for Rs 9,990. 
    (c) Apple
    The speaker also utilises Siri for sending messages, request information, control smart devices and play music from services like Apple Music, Amazon Music, TuneIn amongst others. As with the larger HomePod, the mini also uses the handoff feature where you can transfer music from your iPhone to the smart speaker seamlessly. Users can also use an intercom feature to communicate with friends and family amongst iPhones, CarPlay devices and other HomePods as well. The HomePod Mini will be available from November 16th for $19. If you want to know more about it and how it works, you can read our full review of the bigger HomePod here. 
    Price and Availability The iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 are priced at $699 and $799 respectively. In India, the two phones will retail starting at Rs 69,900 (mini) and Rs 79,900 for the iPhone 12. 
    The iPhone 12 Pro will cost $999  with 128GB while the 12 Pro Max starts at $1,099. For Indian customers, the iPhone 12 Pro will retail starting at Rs 119,900 while the 12 Pro Max will retail for Rs 129,900. All four models will be available in India starting October 30th from Apple.com and authorised resellers.

    Menswear in India has a long and colourful history, both in terms of aesthetics and trends. With the festive season just around the corner, most of us have started looking for ways to amp up our style and get ourselves a dope looking kurta-set, or an intricately made bandhgala. But there’s a catch.
    © MensXP
    This year, the festivities will be different. Only a lucky few among us will get the opportunity to dress up in a swanky new kurta, or a classy bandhgala suit, and step out to party. Does that mean, that those of us, who wisely choose to stay indoors, can’t dress up? Of course not!

    To that effect, the editorial team at MensXP has picked out some of the coolest and trendsetting printed menswear options that will help men stand out as bona fide maestros of style.

    If you're dealing with a bad case of blackheads right now, you're not alone—it is one of the biggest skin woes that come second to breakouts. In the pandemic, as more people have stayed at home in the last six months, there has been a clear rise in the number of skin problems they have dealt with.
    © Instagram/Jim Sarbh
    But before we understand how we can get rid of blackheads, it's important to know what they are. 

    What are Blackheads?Blackheads form when the pores in the skin get clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and grime. The subsequent result is either a blackhead or a whitehead. Now, whiteheads can be popped with ease, as the skin thinly traps debris.
    Blackheads, on the other hand, don’t hurt as much, however, their extraction is a lot harder. The black colour that you see is caused by the exposed comedones. Comedone is a mass of oil and dead skin which changes colour when exposed to oxygen.
    Here are a few things that you can do to get rid of a blackhead:1. Pick A Cleanser With Salicylic Acid © iStock
     A cleanser with salicylic acid (a chemical exfoliator) is great for removing blackheads. Salicylic acid is good at dissolving blackheads and also cleanses your face at the same time. Pick a cleanser that will be gentle to your skin at the same time.

    2. Moisturise Twice A DayMoisturising daily will keep your skin cells nourished and prevent from recurrent blackheads. It will also help tighten your pores and stop them from enlarging due to sun exposure. 
    The skin also stays firmer longer with this healthy practice.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__671__
    3. Try A Mask  © Instagram/Jim Sarbh
    A mask that especially focuses on the removal of blackheads can prove to be quintessential in getting rid of them. 

    Besides, masks often act as a suction that helps weed out impurities, dirt, grime stuck deep in your pores. However, using the mask more than once a week can be harmful to the skin.

So I saw her and I was like, wow she's beautiful." Things went further when Abhinav commented on one of Rubina's photoshoots, asking her to let him shoot her pictures.”

    There was a time when grey hair would mean going to the salon and dyeing it, however, these days, the silver fox look is becoming the talk of the town - case in point R. Madhavan, Akshay Kumar and many more celebrities, who are greying quite gracefully. 
    Here we take a look at six hairstyles that men with grey hair can try out, before deciding to colour their hair again:

    1. A Crew Cut © Twitter/Ben Affleck_Fanppage
    If you are too afraid to experiment and don't know how you would look with a bold grey look, simply stick a crew cut. The style dates back to 1940s and is a classy look that most men with grey hair can pull off. 
    With this hairstyle, consider using some hair styling products for a polished look or a messy appearance.


    2. Iconic Slick Back Hairstyle © Men Hairstylist
    For a slick back hairstyle, all the hair is usually pulled back. To nail this look, you would need volume and length on top. The sides and back can be clipped or trimmed. 

    This hairstyle can be achieved with the help of pomade. Apply a pea-sized amount and comb all your hair back. To keep it as it is all day long, apply some hairspray and you are good to go.


    3. Messy Crop © Instagram/Milind Soman
    If you like cropped hair which adds some uniqueness to the look, then a messy crop hairstyle is all that you need. The cropped hair adds texture to the short hairstyle. 

    You can experiment with the hair length here. The longer the hair, the messier it will look.


    4. Side Part With Quiff © Twitter/Sharon Osbourne_FC
    There are various types of quiffs, but we aren't talking about the sky-scraper one which we see a lot of men trying to nail these days. 

    A neat quiff that's a few inches tall goes well with grey hair. Add to that the trimmed sides, puts more emphasis on the quiff and makes it look suave.


    5. Brush Up Look © Twitter/Derek_Fanpage
    The brush-up look is one of the best ways to sport grey hair. Take Patrick Dempsey, for example, who has rocked this classic hairstyle several times.

    To ace it, ask your barber to keep at least 2 inches of hair in the front as you need to brush it upward. For the sides, trim them short for a unified appearance. 
    While styling, use a pomade and with your fingers or a comb, brush them upwards.


    6. For Men With Receding Hairline © Instagram/Suniel Shetty
    A receding hairline is terrifying but you can still make it look fashionable by opting for a slicked back undercut. The buzzed sides add more definition to this look with extra length only on top, which can also be turned into a man bun. 

    For this look, ask the salon expert to fade the sides. Simply brush the hair back and with the help of a dryer and this hairstyle will stay as it is. 
    Either way, this has covers the receding hairline and lets you embrace your greys.

    If you're blessed with a voluminous mane but are losing your hair drastically , chances are that you are plausibly making some grooming mistakes. 
    Here below we have listed out some of the most common grooming blunders made by balding men which, if not remedied quickly and in the right manner, could totally kill your entire look:
    1. Overdosing On Hair Product © iStock

    Agreed that hair products add a dash of style to your appearance. But too much goo on your head will only weigh down your appearance, rather than elevating it. 
    Instead use a product that can add volume to your hair, rather making it look separated. For example, cream, clay, or paste are your best bets, in limited quantity. On the other hand, gels or pomade will draw attention to your thinning hair.
    2. Growing Out Your Hair To Add Volume © iStock
    While some hacks do work for hiding bald patches, growing your hair long just to cover up the balding areas, is a big grooming mistake. 
    The hair tends to thin on the top first. If you grow your hair on the side and back, it will be more apparent. Instead, you can try out a cropped hairstyle or a buzz cut that will help with thinning areas.


    3. Misusing The Hair Dryer © iStock
    A hairdryer helps add more volume to the hair but if you hold it too close to the roots, it will only suck the moisture from the strands and make your hair look limp. 

    Instead, use the hairdryer at about 8 inches away from your hair. Use a warm setting. For thinning hair, it's always best to use a round brush while running a blow dryer as it will add some thickness to your noggin.


    4. The Weird Beard Phase © iStock
    If you are balding and have a straggly scruff on your face, it won't work. The attention, instead, will still go to the thinning hair. 

    If you have already taken the plunge, go bald completely or try a buzz cut with a full groomed, thick beard. A patchy beard is also a good idea with this hairstyle. Try it out. 
    5. The Middle Parting

    Men lose their hair on top first and a centre parting is only going to make it more discernible. A cowlick is also a bad idea here, no matter what your hair type is. 
    What you can do instead, is cut your hair a bit from behind the crown and with a help of wide-tooth comb bring your hair forward. This works for a receding hairline but if your hair is too thin, this might not work for you.
    6. Shampooing Too Often © iStock
    If you clean your hair too often, your hair will appear even thinner. Shampoo can strip off your hair's natural oil. It can also dry out your scalp, which in turn will lead more hair loss. 

    Stop right there and shampoo every alternate day.


    7. Toupees & Transplants © Twitter/Anupam Kher
    © iStock
    Going for hair transplants or wearing toupees is a great idea if there is no hope left at all. But, instead of overspending on treatments, why not embrace the new look? 

    Shaved heads have been a trend for as long as we can remember. Think Dwayne Johnson or Jason Statham who have rocked the bald head. 
    What you can do instead is shave it off completely. In a few weeks, you will notice a little bit of hair stubble on the head which is any day better than cowlicks.

    They remove toxins & dirt set in the skinThe amount of dirt and toxins your skin can accumulate in a day’s time is surprising. All thanks to polluted particles that’ll happily damage your skin. 
    This combination of dirt and oil is bad for acne-prone skin but clay in clay masks binds to these nasty particles and removes them from the skin.    
    They work for all skin types © MensXP
    Of course, clay masks are more popular amongst the folks with oily skin but they can treat all skin types safely without any redness or irritation. They work their magic on younger skin that may be prone to acne and reduce the signs of ageing by boosting elasticity.   

    They remove dead skin cellsEveryone has dead cells on the surface of their skin. And all they do is make your skin look dull. Clay face masks do an excellent job of removing the dead skin cells to reveal fresh and brighter skin.  
    They also saturate the skin © MensXP
    Clay masks not only remove the excess oil from the skin but they also saturate it with the nutrients that are needed to keep your skin healthy. Clay masks are rich in minerals and as you apply one on your face, they get absorbed into the skin.   
    How To Use A Clay Face Mask? MensXP
    Wash your face with a face wash and towel dry.  Use an application brush to evenly spread the clay mask on your face.Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and relax.Rinse off with normal or cold water.Use water to wash the clay off your brush and air dry it.Say hello to happy and healthy skin!Pro tip: Exfoliating before applying a clay face mask will give the best results. Do not forget to moisturise your skin after removing your clay mask.
    How Often Should You Use Clay Masks?Clay face masks are amazing for your skin as they are formulated to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and heal your skin. You can use them on a regular basis but not every day. Applying a clay mask once or twice a week will do wonders and leave you with a softer, younger and yes, brighter skin! 
    You can also alternate between clay and hydrating masks to provide complete nourishment to your skin. 
    So, go ahead. Apply and relax!

    The likes of Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho might have ruled football as the most influential managers at one stage. But, there is no denying the mercurial rise of Jurgen Klopp as one of the top managers in the present-day scenario. The German had already turned heads with his success at Borussia Dortmund and his time in Anfield has further bolstered his claim as one of the best in the business.
    Ever since joining Liverpool in 2015, Klopp has changed the club from being doubters to believers. Whether it was winning the Champions League title or becoming Premier League champions after 30 years, Klopp has undeniably been the difference for the Reds, who have come a long way from being just the contenders to eventually, become a champion side.
    © Reuters
    A rare glimpse of Liverpool gaffer's champion mentality, not only towards football but also life, once again came to the fore when a 11-year-old Liverpool fan wrote to him seeking his advice on how to deal with anxiety. 

    Lewis Balfe had revealed his worries about moving schools and the anxiety that came along with it, in a letter to Klopp.
    In his response, Klopp wrote: 
    "Can I start by telling you a secret? I get nervous. To be totally honest, I would be worried if I did not get nervous because when it happens it gives me the chance to turn that energy into something positive. I know it might be strange for a boy of your age to think that the Liverpool manager can feel the way that you do but I do".Jurgen Klopp’s letter to an 11 year old on getting nervous and suffering from anxiety.

    Absolute class!️ pic.twitter.com/9wb5bOpohh
    — • (@AnfieldHome_) October 12, 2020
    "From your letter, it is clear that you are very thoughtful and also very caring and when you have these qualities it is very hard to avoid getting nervous. You asked me what I do when my players feel this way and the answer is simple - I remind them of how important they are to me and how much I believe in them and I have no doubt that it will be exactly the same for your family with you," the letter read.

    "You do not need to worry about bad things happening. As you know, I lost more than a few finals and this isn't a good feeling but with the help of my family and friends, I kept going and in the end, we were able to enjoy some really good times. If I had dwelled on the bad moments I know that this would not have been possible so please be positive about yourself and look forward to the brilliant time that I know you will have growing up," Klopp wrote further.
    When the young Liverpool fan wrote the letter, he surely wouldn't have expected such a heartfelt response from Klopp. And, that's probably why the young fan's family was surprised when they read Klopp's response. 
    "He's really excited and I was completely blown away, because I thought you might get a standard response from the club or you might get some acknowledgement, but I didn't think you'd get a letter so personal," Milena Balfe, mother of Lewis, told Britain's Press Association news agency.

    It’s exciting to be a PC Gamer right now as Nvidia unveiled its RTX 3000 series of GPUs that brings the second generation of ray-tracing tech and the new Ampere architecture. We got a chance to check out the latest GPU from Zotac and tested it to play different games in 4K, 2K and 1080p resolution. While many are excited about the latest PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, PC gaming has always been a step ahead and Zotac’s RTX 3080 Trinity is a part of that journey.

    While there have been changes made to certain aspects of the new GPUs such as the 12-pin connector, it remains business as usual for Zotac users. The GPU does come with a converter of its own, however since we already own a Zotac 2080ti, we didn’t need it. As for the other aspects of the GPU, it uses a traditional design, albeit a bit larger than the Zotac 2080Ti, standard PCIe power connectors, and the FireStorm utility software for overclocking needs. Needless to say, it also runs all the proprietary GeForce services such as GeForce Now, Game Stream Shield devices and of course better ray-tracing. 
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity is priced at Rs. 69,990, the same as the Founders Edition at launch and offers the same super-fast 4K gaming performance on recent games like Control and Death Stranding. The main difference between the Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity and Founder’s Edition at least from the outside is the triple-fan cooling system on the former GPU. 

    Jumping from Zotac RTX 2080ti to Zotac RTX 3080 © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    One thing is clear, this next generation of GPUs is not only about graphic fidelity as both GPUs can run AAA titles in its highest settings. The main upgrade you will notice here are other aspects of PC games' performance such as resolution/frame-rate and better real-time ray-tracing. There is no doubt that the Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity is better at delivering higher frames in 4K resolution and better real-time ray tracing. While ray-tracing works well on the 2080Ti GPUs, the envelope has truly been pushed with the new RTX 3000 GPUs. 

    ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity Architecture (GPU): 
    Ampere CUDA Cores: 8704RT Cores: 68 Tensor Cores: 272 GPU Boost Clock: 1710 MHz Memory Capacity: 10GB GDDR6X Memory Bus: 320-bit Memory Clock: 19 GB/s TDP: 320W To achieve better performance in all attributes mentioned above, NVIDIA implemented additional RT cores that make it easier and faster for the GPU to render real-time ray-tracing. To run games smoothly, Tensor Cores have also been added which leverage NVIDIA’s DLSS AI tech to push better frames in every game that supports it. The DLSS 2.0 performance has been significantly boosted in RTX 3080 GPUs and it can be best noticed in Remedy’s Control as the game truly works in tandem with the GPU to deliver some astounding visuals and performance.

    In the case of RTX 3080 Trinity by Zotac, you can’t get a better GPU that features a significant bump in the CUDA core count (somewhat graphic processors). The GPU takes full advantage of the new Ampere architecture, however it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of additional second-gun RT cores and third-get Tensor cores. If you were to think of a flagship GPU by one of the AIC (add-in card) vendors, then the RTX 3080 Trinity is one of the few. The GPU's design, construction, minimal RGB accents and the build quality is second to none. 

    We compared it to our Zotac RTX 2080Ti AMP GPU (one of the largest form factors from the previous generation) to the review unit at hand, and the first thing you will notice is that the RTX 3080 Trinity is slightly larger. Its dimensions stand at 317.8mm (L), 120.7mm (H), and 58mm (W) which can be problematic for some mid-tower cases. If you plan on buying this GPU, we recommend getting a slightly larger case that can easily accommodate the dimensions of the GPU and leaves ample room for air-flow.

    Speaking of cooling, the ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity uses a three-fan design and from what we have seen, it runs cooler than the founder’s edition even when we overclocked it. You will find that the GPU idles at around 45-degrees Celsius which is quite impressive given that other GPUs run at significantly higher temperatures. However, there is one drawback to having additional fans - the ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity can get loud especially when it is running at 100% in games like Death Stranding and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Having said that, better cooling is always going to be our priority over noise levels and we don’t have anything to complain about in this department. Considering the new hardware, new high-speed memory in the form of GDDR6X and its capabilities, we were left quite impressed. 

    Game Performance Benchmarks Having great hardware won’t mean a single thing if it didn’t deliver expected performance in games. In our two weeks of testing, the RTX 3080 Trinity was able to achieve some impressive numbers in various games in various resolutions. There were times we could not believe the frames we were getting in AAA titles even when the entire screen was populated by NPCs, enemies and big environments. From our testing, we concluded the ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity delivers exceptional performance in 4K and 1440p gaming. We tested the GPU with a Samsung 4K 120Hz TV and a 144Hz 1440P monitor. If you want to know how it performed in games in terms of frames per second and different resolutions, check out our graph below that mentions the games, resolution and FPS details. Do note, the higher the FPS number means the better it is:

    From the graphs above, it’s clear that it proves what we’ve been trying to say in the entire review. ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity’s 4K performance is 33% better than my Zotac RTX 2080 Ti Amp GPU where it easily hits and maintains impressive frames in demanding games. I have also played these games in 4K on my 2080ti, where the performance isn’t as impressive. However, when turning down the resolution to 1440p, the gains don’t look as significant which is what we expected. As mentioned earlier, the new RTX 3000 series GPUs is all about pushing the gaming to 4K resolution and it does that effectively. Having said that, in lower resolutions i.e. 1440p, there were times when the 2080ti was faster than the 3080 variant. However, the clear advantage here comes when you switch on ray-tracing in games. DLSS is NVIDIA’s marquee feature here and no matter which resolution you play in, the RTX 3080 Trinity outperforms the 2080ti by at least 20% in almost every game. With ray-tracing set to high and turning on the DLSS, in games like Control, you can easily hit 60 FPS in 4K resolution. If you are wondering about ray-tracing performance specifically, the 3080 Trinity has a 45% gain in performance over the 2080ti in 4K resolution.

    Sibling relationships are the best. No one can annoy you or push your buttons more than your sibling can but even then, at the end of the day, you wouldn't trade this bond for anything in the world. Pulling pranks on each other is honestly a requirement for any siblings to function and what this one guy achieved is honestly so beautiful.
