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.
