Paytm charges 4% for transferring money to bank Why?

It is discouraging that paytm is taking charges to transfer the money into the bank.

Recently i add money into my paytm account before it i doesn't know that paytm will take this amount of huge money.

I add ten thousand rupees and i was so delighted that i wouldn't have to go to the bank because bank was far away from my house. But when i go to the money transfer section the one word come from my mind & that was f**k.

I was so disheartened but i did that i had pay 204.8 extra money to the paytm..

At last i will say every company wants money by whichever means so don't trust this type of company .

Now paytm playing darty business like other national banks do. Paytm charging big amount of money only for bank transfer transaction; yes, almost 4%.

Here is image proof charges 60/- only for transferring 2000/- from paytm wallet to my bank a/c.

Second problem i faced, when you trying to connect customer service number, lot of computer voice message you have to listen. Too much irritation, just fee like hit head on wall. No direct contact to any person.

Third, most of time cash back does not credit. Just recent i ordered one item from paytmMall which cost around 6k, as per there case back rule i should get 200/- within 24hr of product receive. Even after 2 days i didn't get any cashback.

Instead paytm better to use tez. There is no transaction charges and money will direct go to your saving account.

OPPO R17 Pro in India to come with SuperVOOC Flash Charge

OPPO has confirmed its R17 Pro smartphone in the Indian market will come with SuperVOOC Flash Charge fast-charging technology.

The company had released the first smartphone with SuperVOOC Flash Charge tech — the OPPO Find X Lamborghini Edition — in June this year, but this variant was not released in India. With the OPPO R17 Pro set to launch in India, the company has said in a statement that it will be bringing SuperVOOC Flash Charge tech to the country in December. The smartphone is set to launch in India on December 4th.

SuperVOOC Flash Charge also provides five-core protections to check the safety level when the phone is charging. All nodes, including the charging plug, USB cable, mobile phone, and battery, are separately protected by specialised chips. It can take the OPPO R17 Pro smartphone from zero to 40 percent in 10 minutes.

OPPO claims SuperVOOC can allow for charging at nearly 50W to save users time. It uses a bi-cell design to distribute the output voltage of 10V and reduce the voltage of each cell by half. This, the brand says, assures safety of the device to the same extent as VOOC Flash Charge.

The OPPO R17 Pro has a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with full-HD+ resolution and waterdrop notch. There is an in-display fingerprint sensor embedded in the lower half with 3P Micro Lens. It is powered by the octa-core 1.8GHz Snapdragon 710 SoC, with 8GB of RAM. The smartphone runs Android 8.1 Oreo-based ColorOS 5.2 custom software and packs 128GB of storage that is not expandable.

On the back, the OPPO R17 has a triple camera setup with 12MP + 20MP + 3D TOF depth sensor. The primary 12MP sensor has variable aperture between f/1.5 and f/2.4. For selfies, the smartphone comes with a 25MP shooter in the front with AI Beautify mode and f/2.0 aperture. There is a 3,700mAh battery with Super VOOC support. The company claims its 50W charging technology can charge the phone up to 40 percent in just 10 minutes.

Android : New Galaxy S10 Leak, Nokia 9's Monster Camera, OnePlus 5G Fights OnePlus 7

Taking a look back at seven days of news and headlines across the world of Android, this week’s Android Circuit includes five lenses for Nokia, six lenses for Samsung, a new OnePlus 5G handset, leaked images of the Pixel 3 Lite, the UK’s first Mi Store from Xiaomi, and Microsoft’s latest fitness feature in its Android launcher.

Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many things that have happened around Android in the last week (and you can find the weekly Apple news digest here).

How Many Lenses?

While the Galaxy S10 likely to make up the bulk of Samsungs’s high-end handset sales in 2019, the South Korean company is focusing on two more models to showcase its innovative talent. As well as the Galaxy F folding smartphone, more details came out this week of a monster six-lensed cameraphone.


The headline changes are head-turners. Samsung’s Beyond X will have six cameras, a massive 6.7-inch display and built-in 5G. This will make the Beyond X (release name unknown) Samsung’s biggest and, arguably, most ambitious flagship to date. It will sit above the regular 5.8-inch Galaxy S10, a 6.4-inch Galaxy S10+ and a new ‘flat’ budget Galaxy S10 designed to take on Apple’s iPhone XR.

As for the six cameras, two are expected to be on the front with four on the rear. Standard, optical zoom and wide-angle lenses seem logical but the role of the fourth lens is unclear. That said, renowned Samsung insider Ice Universe recently tweeted that boardroom pressure is mounting to reclaim the smartphone photography crown it has conceded to Apple and Google in recent years.

Six Lenses For An Even Closer Shave

Samsung is not the only company working with multiple lenses in its smartphones. The latest leaked details of the Nokia 9 suggest that an even more complicated camera is coming out of Finland



Thanks to images of a Nokia 9 case published by SlashLeaks (below), we can see an orientation of seven holes, the assumption being that there are five lenses, one flash, and one autofocus sensor.

The use of five lenses opens up many possibilities depending on the lenses used and how the information would combine. Expect a mix of telephoto lenses for optical zoom, monochrome sensors, improved low light capability, or any combination of the above.


OnePlus Prepares A Challenger To The OnePlus 7

Given the historical rhythm, the geekerati are expecting OnePlus to release the OnePlus 7 at some point in late Q2. But that might not be the next handset from the Shenzhen-based manufacturer. There’s a motive (5G networks), there’s an opportunity (with a US network), and as OnePlus grows as a company, there is a means to explore further growth, as I noted earlier this week:


T-Mobile will be looking to launch 5G in the US during 2019. If OnePlus has a 5G handset, and T-Mobile is looking for a 5G handset, there is a clear opportunity.

Curiously, this handset is not going to be the presumptively named OnePlus 7… the 5G handset is going to kick off a new line from OnePlus.



Pixel 3 Lite Images Leak

The rumors of a ‘lite’ version of the Google Pixel have been building this week with leaked specs and images showing up online. It appears that the handset is sporting a SnapDragon 670, backed up by 4GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage. It may also ship with a 2915mAh battery, USB-C, and a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack. Ben Schoon reports:


Courtesy of Rozetked.me, a Russian publication who also leaked the Pixel 3 XL ahead of launch, we’re seeing the device known as “Sargo.” We’ve heard the “Sargo” codename just in the past couple of weeks too alongside “Bonito.” The report refers to this device as the Pixel 3 Lite, but there’s nothing to back up that this is what Google’s branding for the device is.

At first glance, this device looks a whole lot like the Pixel 3 family, especially the smaller model. There are some pretty huge changes here, though, including the fact that the entire phone is built from a plastic material instead of the metal and glass that make up the Pixel 3.

The UK’s First Mi Store Is… Open!

Following the launch of its Mi8 Pro smartphone, Xiaomi has continued to broaden its beachhead in the United Kingdom with the opening of the first Mi Store. It can be found in the Westfield shopping centre in London with a wide range of products. GizmoChina reports:


Last week, Xiaomi entered the UK market with the launch of select products, including Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8, Mi 8 Lite, Redmi 6A entry-level smartphone, Mi Band 3 fitness tracker, and the Mi electric scooter.

Now, the company has also opened its first brick-and-mortar Mi Store in Westfield London, making it the company’s first official Mi Store in the UK.

A day before the company officially announced its expansion to the UK market, Xiaomi had started selling its Pocophone F1 in the UK through Amazon. Now, the smartphone is available for purchase through the Mi Store as well.



And Finally…

It may not be sitting at the core of the mobile operating systems, but Microsoft’s Android launcher makes a good pitch at dominating the middleware layer. The latest addition to the utility is digital health tracking. Jon Fingas reports:


Microsoft doesn't really have a mobile operating system these days, but that isn't stopping it from providing some digital health features to keep your usage habits in check. Install the Microsoft Launcher 5.1 beta release and you'll see a "digital health" section that tracks aspects like your total screen time, number of unlocks and session lengths. So long as you're paying attention to these stats in the first place, you'll have an idea of when it's time to put your phone down.

Microsoft to create a Windows 10 Bug Dashboard

Regular readers may have noted our reporting of Windows 10 bugs have become more detailed. This is due to Microsoft being more open about the bugs they are finding as they are deploying the Windows 10 October 2018 update, after the earlier file deletion fiasco.

Now Microsoft has undertaken to make this a permanent feature of their support of Windows 10, by creating a dashboard which end users and admins can use to easily look up current known issues with the operating system, with work around and when Microsoft plans to fix them.

The plans were announced in a recent blog post where Microsoft said:


We plan to add a Windows update status dashboard in the coming year to provide more information on any issues that lead to update blocks. For this current October Update rollout we will be providing regular updates for notable issues on the public Window 10 update history page.

Other divisions already provide such pages, such as the “Fixes or workarounds for recent issues in Outlook for Windows” page here.

The move was welcomed by Susan Bradley, a computer network and security consultant, who also moderates the PatchMangement.org mailing list, who said:

“I can go to this page and see if something happening with Office 365 is just a me thing or if everyone else is seeing the same, but if I want to find out if something is a known issue with Windows 10, I have to dig through – and monitor for changes – these pages,” listing two separate support documents for one such known issue.

Unfortunately Microsoft has not said when the dashboard will arrive, but when it does it should leave us all better informed in the end.

Abhijit Bose as its New India Head : Whatsapp

New Delhi Popular messaging app WhatsApp has named Abhijit Bose as its India Head, meeting one of the key demands made by the Indian government.

Bose, who will join the messaging platform early next year, will build WhatsApp's first full country team outside of California and will be based in Gurugram, WhatsApp said in a statement.




Bose and his team will focus on helping businesses, both large and small, connect with their customers, it added.


WhatsApp is deeply committed to India and we are excited to keep building products that help people connect and support India's fast-growing digital economy," Matt Idema, Chief Operating Officer of WhatsApp, said.


As a successful entrepreneur himself, Bose knows what it takes to build meaningful partnerships that can serve businesses across India, he added.

He joins WhatsApp from Ezetap where he has served as co-founder and CEO. Founded in 2011, Ezetap is an electronic payments company backed by top-tier Venture Capitalists.

The appointment comes at a time when the Facebook-owned company has been under tremendous pressure to put in place a mechanism to curb fake messages on its platform, that incited mob fury.

The government has been pressing WhatsApp to develop tools to combat fake or false messages, and also identify message originators.

Apart from the traceability request, the government had asked WhatsApp to set up a local corporate presence and appoint a grievance officer to address complaints. Whatsapp has recently appointed a grievance officer for India.

Following multiple incidents of mob-lynching across the country, the government had slapped WhatsApp with two notices, with the second one warning that it will treat the messaging platform as an abettor of rumour propagation and legal consequences will follow if adequate checks are not put in place.

These Xiaomi phones will no longer receive software update: Check if your phone is on the list

Xiaomi has been one of the top-selling smartphone brands in Asia and while its smartphones have been doing well in terms of sales figures, the Chinese smartphone brand is also known for offering timely software updates as well as support for around 4-5 years old smartphones. Moreover, during the MIUI 10 launch event, Xiaomi said that they will be offering support for old smartphones such as Xiaomi Mi Mix, Mi Note 2, Mi 5 and more.

However, the company has now announced a list of smartphone which won’t be getting any software updates from now on, especially after the MIUI 10 Global ROM update. This means that the upcoming MIUI 11 update, which is yet to be announced by Xiaomi, won’t be coming to these smartphones.

The Xiaomi smartphones which won’t be getting the MIUI 11 update include Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Xiaomi Mi 5, Xiaomi Mi 4, Mi 4C and Mi 4S. For the unknown, the Xiaomi Mi 5 has been included in the later batches of MIUI 10 Global ROM rollout.

It should be noted that the Mi 5 and Redmi Note 3 Pro (Redmi Note 3 in India) will get MIUI 10.2 China Stable ROM release as their last update while the Mi 4, Mi 4S and Mi 4C will get MIUI 10.1 China Stable ROM (expected in January 2019) as their last software update.

Coming to the Beta updates, the MIUI 8.9.14 was the last MIUI Beta update for Xiaomi’s Mi 4, Mi 4S and Mi 4C while the MIUI China Beta 8.11.22 is going to be the last beta update for Redmi Note 3 Pro and Mi 5.

Samsung Galaxy A9 India launch today

Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy A9 smartphone India today. The Galaxy A9 is the world’s first smartphone to feature a quad-camera setup. It was launched earlier at the “4x Fun” event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Samsung Galaxy A9: Expected price

At the time of its launch, the Samsung Galaxy A9 was priced at €599 or about Rs 48,800. According to IANS, the price of the Samsung Galaxy A9 will be around Rs 35,000 in India. It will most likely be a Flipkart exclusive smartphone, as the e-commerce site has created a dedicated page for it.



Samsung Galaxy A9: Expected specifications

Going by its international variant, the Samsung Galaxy A9 sports a 6.3-inch Full HD+ sAMOLED display with a resolution of 2220x1080. This gives it an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 and a pixel density of about 392ppi.

Powering the phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage that is expandable up to 512GB via a MicroSD card. It is backed by a 3,800mAh Li-ion battery.



Coming to the most talked about part of the phone, the back of Galaxy A9 has four vertically-stacked cameras. The arrangement of them is similar to the on found on the Galaxy A7, which has three cameras.

The camera setup can be thought of as telephoto and wide-angle cameras stacked on top of a primary dual camera module. The primary module consists of 24MP+5MP sensors with Phase Detection Autofocus and f/1.7 aperture. The wide-angle camera has an 8MP sensor at its heart while the telephoto camera has a 10MP sensor and provides 2x optical zoom.

The main reason to implement this setup is to offer compact camera like capabilities inside a smartphone and providing more flexibility and versatility to the user when it comes to different shooting scenarios. We explored this (sans the telephoto module) in the Samsung Galaxy A7 in Goa—you can check out its camera review here.



The phone runs Android Oreo 8.0 with Samsung’s own “Samsung Experience” UI running atop. It has dual SIM capabilities along with Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, FM Radio and USB Type-C as other connectivity options.

It has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, unlike the Samsung Galaxy A7 which has one built inside the lock button.

If you’re curious to know how the Galaxy A9 stands up against the Huawei Mate 20 Pro

However, fake apps are always round the corner and here we tell you how to avoid downloading fake apps and prevent malicious software residing in your smartphone.

Come what may, always download apps from official store only. You might the option to download apps from other places but avoid them as much as you can. While malicious apps can be found on official stores also, they are still removed as early as possible. Stick to official app stores and chances of getting fake apps reduces drastically.
