That's pretty much! It now dramatically. Different phones from the looks the material used, the processor inside capabilities of the phone features cameras. Everything is different case in point. This, the VIVO x60 pro plus now there's a x60 there's, a pro which we've already reviewed, and now the pro plus lots and lots of changes, including the materials actually got leather at the back. Periscope camera lots and lots of things happening on this phone, which will take you through and, of course, we'll test out the camera.

So if you have you know, relatives and friends and parents telling you, why are you wasting time on gaming? Show them this story? Because you can make a professional career out of it and then on to something else that I'm going to again improve your life, so remember those TWS earbuds that you bought whether they were AirPods or Samsung's or Sony's. Remember that time when you started off by putting them in your ear and said wow what great sound, and somehow you're not that dazzled by the sound anymore, there could be a reason for it, and that is that they could have become very dirty. Remember you insert them into your ear and your ear has wax and other gunk inside it, and that can really change the sound that and a lot more on.

This week's sale guru show, let's start off. Of course, with all the news coming in from the world of mobiles, Poco has a new phone and apple announces, one more only online date for WWDC. The legacy of the original Poco f1 is hard to forget and Poco is all set to repeat that with the Poco x3 pro, the company's latest smartphone focuses on delivering max performance at a great price and packs a power snapdragon 860 chipsets over on the front. The phone has a 6.67 inch display, but amps it up with 120 rehearsal, fresh rate as well as gorilla, glass 6. Meanwhile, in the imaging department, a 48 megapixel primary camera does the job it has been paired with an 8 megapixel ultra-wide shooter, as well as 2, megapixel depth and macro cameras.

Other features include a 5160 my battery with 33 watt fast charging support a 3.5 mm jack, dual sim slots, an IR blaster as well as an ip53 rating. The Poco x3 pro is priced starting 18 999 rupees for the 6gb ram variant, while the 8gb ram variant is priced at 20, 999 rupees, making it one of the most powerful phones in its price segment. The dates for apple's WWDC are here, and the excitement is palpable one of the biggest events every year for apple fans. The annual worldwide developers conference is expected to bring a number of announcements, even in its virtual avatar, scheduled from 7th to 11th June. A sure shot, WWDC reveal is expected to be iOS, 15 and iPad.

Os 15. , the next generation operating system for iPhones and iPads. However, like previous years' apple, might also introduce a slew of hardware updates. The Cupertino giant is expected to refresh the iPad Pro lineup with a mini, LED display and faster processors. In addition to iPads, it is believed that apple might introduce an iMac running on Apple Silicon.

Finally, the AirPods received no update in 2020 and WWDC.2021 would be the perfect time to introduce a redesigned model with just two months to go. It sure is a great time for apple fans to start getting hyped up. Let's start off with this. This is our top story. The VIVO x60 pro plus, like I said this new trend that is coming, and it's a good trend.

You take out one phone, and you come up with two or three variants, but the variants are not just a little of ram or storage. These are dramatically different phones from the processor to the camera inside to the even the screen capabilities of the phone, so we've got our hands on the VIVO x60 pro plus. Now this is a luxury phone, more or less for everything it does. It has vegan leather at the back now to a lot of people. What is vegan leather, we'll try and answer that when we actually review the phone lots of other things, so we'll show you the difference between the three phones, and we also do a full test on the camera, because that's what this phone is all about.

VIVO has championed the art of camera innovation. Last year's x50 series was a testament to VIVO's ability of bringing great camera features to a smartphone, and this year's x60 pro plus only takes it one step further, but at rs 69 990 is the x60 pro plus the best flagship money can buy. Here's our review, the ingredients for a top of the line flagship are all here. There's the newest snapdragon 888 processors, in the x60 pro plus, which means performance, will have no hiccups. We enjoyed using this phone.

We gamed on it, and it never let us down complementing the highest end. Processor is 12 GB ram, and this dynamic duo is a killer combination for any smartphone. However, the real showstopper here is the quad camera at the back. VIVO has incorporated mass optics technology into the cameras and the results speak for themselves. There's a 50 mp sensor with a wide aperture that lets in plenty of light.

There's a 48 mp ultraviolet lens, a 32 mp telephoto lens and another 8mp periscope lens, which allows the camera to zoom in up to 60 times. However, anything beyond 10x is usually blurry and not usable camera performance is right up there with the best the photos taken from the main camera. Look absolutely stunning, there's even 100 mp UHD mode that takes full advantage of the primary sensor and the pictures have incredible detail and colors. The portrait mode has some neat features like both and filters that make the pictures pop the implementation of the second generation. Gimbals stabilization on the x60 pro plus ensures completely stable videos and pictures that don't look blurry at all over to the front is a 32 mp selfie camera and the portrait mode features carry over here as well, which means your selfies will look incredible.

There is also a dedicated night mode here, and we won't shy away in saying that the x60 pro plus can see in the dark. There is some noise in the shots, but the camera manages to take some great night mode shots the good things don't end there. There's a 6.56 inch, FHD AMOLED screen with great color reproduction. It has a 120 hertz, refresh rate and the phone feels as smooth as it can possibly get. The back of the phone is our favorite part.

There's a vegan leather finish on the x60 pro plus, and it looks absolutely gorgeous the phone feels good to hold in the hand and weighs a pleasant 191 grams. There is a 4200 my battery and that's the only thing we didn't like here. We were hoping to get some more juice in the box, but VIVO has included a 55 watt fast charger in the box, which makes up for the reduced battery capacity overall. The VIVO x60 pro plus is an absolute flagship. It has great camera performance, it has the fastest processor in the snapdragon 888 and is one of the best phones out there.

If you're looking to get your hands on a powerful smartphone that won't disappoint you, anytime or anywhere the VIVO x60 pro plus, is your best bet. You can pick the 12 GB 256 GB variant for rupees 6990. Now, comparing the x60 series, the differences here are quite pronounced, starting with the processor, the x60 and the x60 pro feature, the snapdragon 870 processors, whereas the x60 pro plus has a snapdragon 888 chips, which makes the pro plus the fastest flagship. Moving to the battery. Surprisingly, the regular x60 features a bigger 4300 my battery, whereas the other two have a smaller 4200 my battery.

However, the x60 and x60 pro have 33 watt fast charging, whereas the pro plus comes with 55 watt fast charging. The big difference is also in the cameras with the pro plus getting a quad camera setup, whereas the other two only have three cameras at the back. The differences in the price range are also visible here. The x60 can be bought for rupees 37. Ninety, the x60 pro is available for rupees forty, nine thousand nine ninety, whereas the highest end x60 pro plus retails for rupees, sixty-nine thousand nine.

Ninety, and now for the story. All of you were waiting for. I told you gather your family around, because this is where you could now start moving towards a career and doing something that you enjoy and convert that into a professional career gaming and in our special segment from Qualcomm how the processor has completely and totally changed the gaming world gaming dimensions, gaming audience. Let's take a look now in the time. It's going to take me to finish this very sentence: multiple new rounds of battle, royale new football matches, new car races will have already started across the world.

Yes, gaming has become that big. These days, gaming is no longer a way to just pass time. It's gone from being a casual activity to a full-time career for many gamers is now a legitimate profession, even if your parents may not think so, but don't worry, they will very soon as pro gamers are increasing. By the day. Online competitive esports is now a big business with attractive prize schools, large format, tournaments and millions and millions of audience around the world, and rightfully so esports is growing at a rapid pace.

Reports and statistics show that ever since the pandemic hit, we've all started gaming. Even more previously, the average amount that we spent on gaming was what say, r2rs, but now that's close to four hours a week. I'm sure it's going to go up even more because the survey was conducted a while back and if you thought the only time spent playing games has increased here's something else. Gaming is now a spectator sport too, watching gamers play game is the next new big thing. Esport viewership is on the rise, and numbers show that by 2023 there will be as many as 646 million people watching esport tournaments and gaming streams online.

I don't know about you, but that just screams insane to me and because so many people are now gaining and trying their hands out in these tournaments. It's given rise to new opportunities like providing the best experience for gamers or providing platform for gamers to rise to the occasion and get those vital kills to be the last one standing on the battlefield, while gaming on PCs and consoles is where it all really started. The majority of gamers in India now like to play on their mobile phones. We know that for those gaming on PCs, you can build your system as player requirement, customize it, but for mobile gamers phone manufacturers have started packing in a number of features to enable great gaming experiences on your small little device. We now have dedicated gaming smartphones, like the ASUS ROG phone.

These phones have powerful hardware that promise a certain level of performance to ensure that the overall experience is as seamless as it can be. Companies are now going out of their way to highlight their proficiency. In gaming we talked about gaming phones, but what powers a gaming phone to become really great, is a processor. A good smartphone processor can be the difference between getting eliminated first or being the last one standing. So if your processor can't handle the game's load, you might as well just surrender and go back home.

Esports tournaments are great platforms to gamers to showcase their skills. There are multiple esports tournaments that are now cropping up and one such tournament is snapdragon conquest. Gaming powered by, of course, Qualcomm technologies, snapdragon conquest. Gaming is a series of online tournaments that give gamers from all over India a platform to come and showcase their gaming prowess. The first season of this esport tournament featured over 600 teams from across the nation, as gamers played rounds of an online battle.

Royal game called free fire with players trading blows across the map. The tournament saw winners, progress to the next round as in-game qualifiers became online playoffs, and then it was off to the league system. This is where we saw the highest masala moments as 24 teams of four gamers. Each went head-to-head in a month-long conquest with the winner with high level action-pack rounds. The grand final saw 12 teams late all on the line and battled out for glory as they pushed themselves as well as their smartphones to their absolute limit.

This is where hard work, skill and having a smartphone with the snapdragon processor comes in very handy, so those very high pressure situations with so much stress, at least your phone will never really let you down. So, let's see how else a snapdragon processor makes gaming abilities come alive, let's talk to Qualcomm and find out from them the importance of a good smartphone processor during an esports tournament. The first person we're meeting is don McGuire senior VP global product marketing Qualcomm technologies. Thank you for joining me. Thank you, Rajiv.

It's a pleasure to be on the program today. My first question is how has that mobile gaming ecosystem evolved over the years? Well, gaming is seeing leaps in technological innovation which allows developers to create more complex games, immersive worlds and actually new ways to play, and no type of gaming has seen greater leaps than in the mobile space. There was a time when mobile games were different experiences when compared to PC or console games, but now we're seeing advances in mobile gaming that are actually outpacing other platforms and how has snapdragon elite gaming supported the evolution of gaming and, in particular, competitive mobile gaming. Over 90 percent of phone owners play games on their device, and that number is just growing. Qualcomm recognizes how important gaming is to users and the ability to play.

The latest blockbusters in high fidelity is critically important to gamers with snapdragon elite gaming. We've launched dozens of mobile first features that keep pushing the boundaries on the experience that make mobile devices even better, and notably, these features deliver ultra smooth gaming at the highest HDR quality and offer desktop level capabilities in the palm of your hands, and we've made some huge breakthroughs that benefit competitive gaming. Last year we announced game quick touch which reduces touch latency up to 20 percent, because mere milliseconds can mean the difference between first place and last place and snapdragon sound delivers immersive sound, so you can track your competitors by their footsteps. In addition, Qualcomm snapdragon conquest is a platform. We've created in India to provide gamers an opportunity to show off their gaming skills and push technology to the limits, all right cool.

So, in your opinion, what does the future of gaming look like? Let's say the next five years? How will the technology play a part in enabling it well? The future of gaming has never looked brighter. The future will allow people around the world to play together. No matter the device or platform you'll see mobile gamers, competing against console and PC gamers, with the same great experience, no matter where they're playing, and these global competitors will be able to compete at their highest level because of the innovations Qualcomm and snapdragon are making with 5g we'll see low lag, instant downloads, seamless game streaming and the ability to compete online nearly anywhere around the globe and snapdragon elite gaming will continue to push the boundaries of gaming innovation by giving tools to developers to create more immersive worlds and gamers to play new experiences at an elite level and now a special treat.

Let's move on to a story: that's all about audio and sound, especially the kind that is for private listening, so TWS earbuds, headphones and all other forms, but anything that you insert into air can get a little of gunk from within the air, but we're going to tell you how to clean them out safely, irrespective of what kind of form factor your headphones are: hi, I'm Rubin mung ya. Now most of us use headphones or lately earphones as a go-to audio product. But did you know that your favorite audio product might be covered in dead cells, ear wax or even worse, dirt and germs? So today the story is all about telling you how to keep your headphones and earphones clean in the case of headphones.

All you need is a damp cloth and a quick wipe down every few days. This should keep the ear pads and headband clean, follow it up with a pat down dry using a soft cloth. This is all the more important if you use headphones, while at the gym. All that sweat can become a breeding ground for germs coming to earbuds. A wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient for the outside of the buds.

However, you should also remove the silicone tips and use a soft bristle brush to remove any lint or wax do not press down on it, since the ear wax can get jammed in the drivers. Finally, make sure you clean out the charging case for your earphones, especially the pin connectors for charging the earphones. You can use an earbud for the same, if not cleaned out regularly. The pin connectors can gather grime, which can affect the charging capabilities of the earphones. So there you go.

These tips should help you keep your headphones and earphones clean and hygienic for years to come so happy listening. That, then, was the Segura show for this week. Great stories coming up next week. I'll see you right here on that show.
