Google Pixel 3/3 XL may have updated Visual Core chip & supports “Super Selfies”

Google Pixel 3 XL

The camera is a big part of what makes the Pixel phones so popular. We’ve already seen the Pixel 3 XL a many , many , many times, but earlier this week we saw some camera samples . A few of those samples showed off the front-facing camera. Today, we’re learning a little more about the front-facing cameras on the Pixel 3 devices and why the notch is so big on the Pixel 3 XL.

According to sources at 9to5Google, the dual front-facing cameras are for better selfies, something Google may call “Super Selfies.” Both the Pixel 3 XL and smaller Pixel 3 have these dual cameras, but they are more noticeable in the notch on the XL. The photos are said to have more faux bokeh improvements in Portrait Mode. The second camera sensor is a wide-angle lens. Face retouching will also get an update with new “Natural” and “Soft” options. It seems that selfies will be a big point of focus. It’s also possible that the dual cameras will be used for a facial recognition feature, but that is still mostly unknown.

Moving to the back of the phone, there is still just one camera, as we’ve seen. The source also says that Google is including a new Visual Core chip that will have even more features. Apparently, low-light photos are “incredible” with the new camera setup. We got a taste of the Pixel 3 camera earlier this week, but that is not final software. The photos should look even better once Google has fine-tuned the camera.

Do “Super Selfies” and possibly better facial recognition make the big notch worth it? Or would you rather have a smaller notch and just one front camera?

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

Realme U1 with MediaTek Helio P70 launched in India for ₹11,999

Realme is an emerging smartphone brand in India, with a focus on budget and early mid-range segments. Realme started off as an online-only sub-brand of OPPO, but then later on, became its own separate brand . Realme devices ar seen to undercut the competition on their price value, and hence, coming up as viable alternatives despite the infancy of the brand.

Realme U1 is the first smartphone in the company’s U series, which in-turn is the lineup that will be focused on photography.

There’s software features like an AI Beauty+ mode that is optimized for Indian complexions, a Smarter Groupie featur...

Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves.
