Realme Note 60x could soon be launched by the Chinese smartphone maker. The company has yet to confirm the model or its moniker, but it has reportedly started appearing on certification sites around the world, which is a sign of an imminent launch. Recent listings on some certification websites have suggested some key specifications of the purported Realme Note 60x. It is expected to join the Realme Note 60 was launched in Indonesia in August this year with an octa-core Unisoc T612 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery and a 32-megapixel main camera unit.
Realme Note 60x Features (Expected)
The Realme Note 60x has been spotted with the model number RMX3938 on a EU certification website by MySmartPrice. The report added that the moniker was confirmed in a previously spotted listing on the NBTC certification site. The listings reportedly confirm the phone’s 4G connectivity support.
According to the report, the FCC listing of the Realme Note 60x suggested that the phone will likely come with a 4,880mAh rated battery (typical 5,000mAh). The handset is expected to support SuperVOOC wired charging via an OP52JCUH adaptor.
Connectivity options for the Realme Note 60x may include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 (a/b/g/n/ac) Bluetooth, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS, BDS, and SBAS, the report added. The smartphone will likely ship with Android 14-based Realme UI 5.0. It may measure 167.26×76.67×7.84mm and weigh 187g.
The Realme Note 60x is expected to be equipped with an 8-megapixel rear camera sensor. The report claims that an older Camera FV listing suggested that the phone could carry a 32-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie shooter. Notably, the base Realme Note 60 variant arrives with a 32-megapixel rear and a 5-megapixel front camera sensor.
The vanilla Realme Note 60 sports a 6.74-inch 90Hz LCD screen. It has a Unisoc T612 chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. It is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging support. The phone measures 7.84mm in thickness and weighs 187g.

Microsoft is opening up its artificial intelligence assistant to consumers and making the corporate version available to smaller companies as it tries to increase the number of paying customers for the new services.
Microsoft is selling a $20-a-month (roughly Rs. 1,659) consumer version of Copilot, with access to OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT technology and image-creation features, the Redmond, Washington-based software giant said in a statement. Consumers with a cloud subscription to Office will be able to use Copilot to help answer questions, summarize data and create content in Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint.
The company, which has been selling a similar product to large businesses for a monthly fee of $30 (roughly Rs. 2,489) per user, will get rid of the 300-subscription minimum for its enterprise service.
As Microsoft has revamped nearly all of its products around artificial intelligence tools based on technology from OpenAI, its Office products remain one of the best ways to get customers to pay extra for AI assistance. Executives have said demand is unusually high, with Azure chief Scott Guthrie likening it to the lines outside shops to purchase Windows 95 software nearly three decades ago.
Microsoft has been testing the Office-based copilot, now called Copilot for Microsoft 365, since March. The company began selling it widely in November, as long as companies purchased at least 300 subscriptions. That left out small businesses and those that wanted to begin with a smaller trial, said Jared Spataro, a Microsoft vice president, in an interview.
“We have just never seen demand in the commercial space for a product like we are seeing for Copilot from Microsoft 365,” he said. “We have had pressure I have never seen from small and medium businesses saying ‘why will you not let us buy this? Let us try it’.”
Microsoft announced the new services ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos where Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella will speak in an interview with Bloomberg.
Microsoft’s consumer service, called Copilot Pro, offers similar features to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus at the same price, though the integration with Office differentiates their product, Spataro said. The company plans to roll out a builder tool, similar to what OpenAI unveiled last year, that will let individuals create their own Copilots for a specific topic, a service that’s already available to enterprises.
Microsoft’s privacy rules for the consumer version also differ from the business one. Unlike data from corporate customers, Microsoft said it will retain a portion of prompts and responses from the consumer model to retrain models and improve the product.

The mad, mad world of the blockbuster comedy, Bhagam Bhag, is set to return. 18 years after it wowed audiences all over, the much-awaited sequel, Bhagam Bhag 2, is finally happening. For all the die-hard fans of the film, which has attained cult status over the years, thanks to the Internet and social media, this news is nothing short of a celebration. Starring Akshay Kumar, Govinda and Paresh Rawal in lead roles, Bhagam Bhag is considered as one of ace director Priyadarshan’s iconic films. Even in Akshay’s vast repertoire, Bhagam Bhag holds a very special position along with landmark films like Hera Pheri and Welcome.
Bhagam Bhag 2 is happening!
The rights for the sequel were recently acquired from Shemaroo Entertainment by Sarita Ashwin Varde of Roaring River Productions who has simultaneously also been working on the film’s script. She will be producing the film along with Shemaroo.
Why did it take so long for the sequel? “Because a special film like Bhagam Bhag deserves a sequel that’s just as much special; when the time was right, we decided to take the plunge,” says Sarita.
Incidentally, Sarita has been associated with filmdom for long now. She has been the creative force behind her husband, Ashwin Varde, who is also a producer with films like Boss, Mubarakan, Kabir Singh, OMG-2 and Khel Khel Mein to his credit.
“We are excited to partner with an incredible team to create a film that will continue the legacy of its predecessor by bringing more laughter, fun and entertainment,” says Hiren Gada, CEO, Shemaroo Entertainment.
Bhagam Bhag 2 latest update
Currently in the final stages of writing, Bhagam Bhag 2 is slated to go on floors in mid 2025. Right now, all that the makers promise is that the sequel will be “madder, crazier and funnier.” All other details will be revealed soon when the film is officially announced. While the first film was directed by Priyadarshan, there is no clarity yet on who will helm the sequel.
Apart from the three leads, Bhagam Bhag also starred Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, Razak Khan, Sharat Saxena and Asrani. The film tells the story of a theatre group which travels to London for a show only to be accused of a murder they did not commit, while mistakenly becoming the enemies of a drug dealer and a gang.

Mumbai, Actor Pankaj Tripathi on Friday said it is a great honour to be appointed as the festival ambassador for the Arunachal Rang Mahotsav 2024.
Pankaj Tripathi joins Arunachal Pradesh government’s effort to promote theatre in state
This prestigious international theatre festival, the largest of its kind in Northeast India, runs from Friday to December 5, celebrating the rich cultural heritage and creative talent of Arunachal Pradesh.
The actor, known for his performance in “Gangs of Wasseypur”, “Bareilly Ki Barfi”, “Fukrey”, “Gunjan Saxena”, “Stree” franchise and “Mirzapur” and “Criminal Justice” series, hails from Belsand village in Gopalganj, Bihar. Over the years, Tripathi has become one of the most sought-after actors in Indian cinema, earning widespread acclaim for his versatility and authenticity.
Tripathi, who is attending the festival along with wife Mridula, said theatre holds a special place in his heart as it is where he began his journey as an actor.
“It’s a great honour for me to be associated with the Arunachal Rang Mahotsav 2024 as its Festival Ambassador. Theatre holds a very special place in my heart, as it was my first teacher, my first love in the performing arts. I owe everything I am today to the lessons I learned on the stage and the passion I developed for storytelling during my early days in Gopalganj, performing street plays and rangmanch,” Tripathi, a National School of Drama graduate, said in a statement.
The actor said it is inspiring to see Arunachal Rang Mahotsav celebrating the power and beauty of theatre.
“This platform not only honours the traditional and contemporary performing arts of the region but also provides a dynamic space for artists from across the world to collaborate and showcase their work. I am particularly excited about the festival’s emphasis on Arunachal’s oral folklore traditions, martial art forms, and local performing arts, which are an essential part of our cultural fabric.
“The fusion of these traditional elements with modern theatre practices makes this festival a unique and transformative experience. I believe theatre has the power to connect people, transcend barriers, and create a deeper understanding of our shared humanity. I look forward to witnessing and celebrating the magic of performances at ARM ’24’,” he added.

Bitcoin touched a fresh record high on Friday, with its sights set firmly on the $100,000 barrier (roughly Rs. 84.4 lakh), in a stellar rally for the cryptocurrency sparked by expectations of a more friendly regulatory environment under a Donald Trump administration.
It has more than doubled in value this year and is up about 45 percent since Trump’s sweeping election victory on November 5, which has also seen a slew of pro-crypto lawmakers being elected to Congress.
The cryptocurrency was last up just over 1 percent on the day at $99,380 (roughly Rs 83.9 lakh), and is on track for its best monthly performance since February.
Its surge has made bitcoin one of the stand-out winners of so-called “Trump trades” – assets that are seen as winning or losing from Trump’s policies.
The cryptocurrency also appears on the cusp of mainstream acceptance since its creation 16 years ago. The approval of US-listed bitcoin exchange-traded funds in January this year have helped boost the market.
“The longer it survives it is taken more seriously, that’s just the reality of things,” said Shane Oliver, chief economist and head of investment strategy at AMP Sydney.
“As an economist and investor I find it very hard to value it…it’s anyone’s guess. But it does have a momentum aspect to it and at the moment the momentum is up.”
Indeed, bitcoin is up around 130 percent this year.
Trump embraced digital assets during his campaign, promising to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet” and to accumulate a national stockpile of bitcoin.
Crypto investors see an end to increased scrutiny under US Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who said on Thursday he would step down in January when Trump takes office.
Under Gensler, the SEC sued exchange Coinbase, Kraken, Binance and others, alleging that their failure to register with the agency violated SEC rules, accusations the companies deny and are fighting in court.
Bharat Dev Varma, husband of actress Moon Moon Sen and father of Raima and Riya Sen, passed away at his Kolkata home on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. Raima Sen shared unseen photos of her father, Bharat Dev Varma, along with an emotional note. She expressed that words couldn’t fully capture how incredible he was as a father and husband. Check out her post here:
The post read, “Daddy Can’t write anything yet. Words fall short of what a great father and husband you have been. Till then dad may you be happy wherever you are and live king size like you always did will miss you always and love you”.
The post included two photos of Bharat Dev Varma from his younger days, followed by a heartwarming third picture where he is seen holding a young Raima in his arms. Bharat Dev Varma was born into the former royal family of Tripura. His mother, Ila Devi, was a princess from Cooch Behar and the elder sister of Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur. His grandmother, Indira, was the only daughter of Searji Rao Gaikwad III, the Maharaja of Vadodara.
In 1978, Bharat Dev Varma married Moon Moon Sen, a renowned Bengali actress from a royal family. Moon Moon’s mother was the iconic actress Suchitra Sen, and her father was a successful businessman. Her family had strong ties to Tripura’s royal heritage. After marriage and motherhood, Moon Moon’s career flourished, debuting in Andar Baahar with a bold role. She appeared in over 60 films and 40 TV series, winning several awards, including the Andhra Pradesh State Nandi Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Halo has had a period of tumultuous recent years under the development umbrella of 343 Industries. The iconic Xbox franchise, that laid down the blueprint for first-person multiplayer shooters during its heyday, has faltered with recent releases. Halo Infinite, which came out in 2021, received critical acclaim at launch, but fans cooled off on the title as 343 scrambled to push out timely seasonal multiplayer updates to keep players hooked. While Halo Infinite saw a resurgence in player count when its season 5 content launched late last year, the game’s unannounced battle royale mode has reportedly been cancelled.
The information comes from XboxEra co-founder Shpeshal_Nick — as reported by Eurogamer — who went on the XboxEra podcast Monday and said that long-gestating Halo battle royale project, codenamed Tatanka, was rumoured to be no longer in development. “I got a DM about it last week, that Tatanka has been cancelled,” Nick said on the podcast.
The Halo infinite battle royale mode was being co-developed by Certain Affinity. Back in April 2022, the developer had said it was deepening its relationship with 343 industries. “We’ve been part of the Halo franchise for more than 15 years and we’re honored to say we are deepening our relationship with 343 and have been entrusted with further evolving Halo Infinite in some new and exciting ways,” Certain Affinity had said. And while 343 has remained tight-lipped about the battle royale mode, Certain Affinity had hinted at the same in late 2022, confirming that the company had been the development lead on the unannounced Halo project for more than two years with close to 100 developers working on it. “It’s something big and new for the franchise. But I can’t say any more about it,” Certain Affinity COO Paul Sams had told Venture Beat in September 2022.
Reacting to the information from the XboxEra podcast, video game historian and leaker Liam Robertson also confirmed the cancellation of the Halo battle royale project in a post on X Tuesday. “I talked about this last year and I can back this up. I researched it a bit. However, I think it was cancelled even earlier than this claims but yes, it was 2022,” he said.
Appreciate the clarification, but we weren’t even trying to confirm whether something that technically has never been announced…has been cancelled.
We thought (clearly mistakenly) we were having an off hand discussion about someone else’s rumour… https://t.co/d6GVwYwyWD
Early last year, in the wake of a spate of layoffs at Microsoft that impacted developers at The Coalition, Bethesda Game Studios, and 343 Industries, the Halo maker had assured fans that it would continue development on the franchise “now and in the future.” This came after rumours that claimed development on future Halo games were being handed over to a third-party studio, with 343 Industries being moved to a supervisory role.
343 Industries also saw a flurry of high-level departures since the release of Halo Infinite, hinting at instability at the studio. 343 founder and lead Bernie Ross, who had worked on Halo titles for 15 years, stepped down in September 2022. The studio also went through restructuring, with Bryan Koski, who previously took care of marketing for Halo, becoming GM of the franchise, while Elizabeth Van Wyck heading business and operations.
Halo Infinite received its Season 5: Reckoning update in October last year, bringing two new maps, a reimagined Halo 4 Extraction mode, a new 50-tier Premium Battle Pass and other additional content. The season 5 launch also introduced new updates to Forge, the Halo mode that allows players to create and edit multiplayer maps, bringing in the ability for players to populate their custom maps with friends and foes from the Halo Infinite campaign.

Wonderchef Preto Plus Digital Air Fryer: First Impressions
I was thrilled to receive the package because this was my first air fryer, and I couldn’t wait to unbox it. Inside, I found both an air fryer and a bonus cordless chopper, packaged separately with a user manual.
My first impression:
The air fryer itself is sleek and polished, though a little bulky. It has a solid, sturdy construction, giving it a premium feel on the kitchen counter.
The control panel is conveniently located at the top, with an intuitive touch interface that is easy to operate.
Setting the timer and temperature is intuitive, although it took me a few tries to fully understand the controls, especially as a first-time user. There’s also a user manual to guide you through the controls, which is helpful, although it may still take some time to get fully accustomed to.
The basket is spacious and comes with a sturdy handle, making it easy to take out and replace.
It lacks a basket-locking system, which may be a concern for families with small children.

Wonderchef Preto Plus Digital Air Fryer Performance: How Well Does It Cook?
first experience
The first thing I noticed was the absence of a recipe book in the package. A recipe book would have made things easier by providing ready-made instructions for setting the temperature and timer depending on the dish. Without that, I decided to start simple and test the air fryer with basic frozen foods like McCain Snacks, which don’t require any extra preparation.
The air fryer’s temperature and timer controls are conveniently placed on the top, making adjustments simple. Although the user manual did not contain a detailed list of recipes, it did provide some basic instructions for common items. Using them as a guide, I set up the fryer for McCain’s Snacks and began testing. This was my first step towards understanding how well this air fryer performs.
The first batch of snacks came out a little burnt – thankfully, I didn’t load too many snacks at once. Learning from this, I reduced the temperature slightly for the next batch. Got perfectly crisp, golden and delicious snacks with just a spoon of oil.
Decision: It was impressive to see how well the air fryer delivered on its promise of healthy, oil-free cooking after a small adjustment.
Next, I tried the Viral Air Fryer “Puri”. Found the recipe on YouTube and got to work. I prepared a softer dough than usual for oil fried puris. After rolling them out, I preheated the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes, placed 2-4 puris in the basket, and air fried them at the same temperature for 4 minutes.
Two puris came out absolutely puffy and golden brown in color, while the rest were not so puffy, but were golden. They tasted like fried puris, crispy, light and satisfying.
Decision: While some recipes suggested that I boil the puris in water until they float, I skipped this step and it worked for me. I liked its taste very much and the puris were very light to eat.
third experience
For my final experiment, I tried air frying pancakes. I chose premix batter to save time, added 2 tsp oil for consistency. The recipe called for a loose, liquid batter, so I followed the directions. After preheating the air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes, I lined the basket with parchment paper, layered the batter between the sheets, and set the timer for 5 minutes.
The pancakes were undercooked on the first try, so I increased the time by 5 minutes, worried about the edges being overcooked. Unfortunately, the result was disappointing, messy, stuck on paper and still raw in the center.
Decision: This recipe was not suitable for the air fryer. But experimenting is part of the fun, you never know until you try.
Cordless Zippy Chopper Performance
Let’s talk about Zippy Chopper! This is a cordless chopper, which means you don’t need to plug it into a switchboard every time you want to use it. It is lightweight and easy to carry around. Sharp stainless-steel blades cut vegetables quickly and easily. It has a built-in USB rechargeable battery, so you can charge it and use it without the need for additional wiring. It is also safe to use because of the locking mechanism. It is also easy to clean. Also, it comes with 1 year warranty.
Wonderchef Preto Plus Digital Air Fryer Power Consumption
Air fryers typically consume between 1000W and 2000W, depending on the model and capacity.
The 4.2 liter Wonderchef Prato Plus Digital Air Fryer consumes 1400W to 1500W of power, which is generally considered a good range for home appliances. It’s not very high, so it won’t add significantly to your electricity bill, but it’s still powerful enough to cook food quickly and efficiently.
Cleaning and Maintenance of the Wonderchef Preto Plus Digital Air Fryer
The Wonderchef Preto Plus Digital Air Fryer is easy and hassle-free to clean. Simply use a gentle dish soap and a soft sponge to clean the basket and exterior. Avoid using abrasive materials to prevent scratches.
