WhatsApp is amongst those few names that come first when we speak of a fully-loaded instant messaging application for Android as well iOS mobile platforms. The Meta-owned messaging service is also available for desktop users across and offers the same secure platform for laptop users as well.
The company has introduced numerous new features for both WhatsApp mobile as well as desktop versions in recent times. However, the brand isn’t slowing down and is rapidly upgrading its platform with user-friendly tools and services.
For the Indian audience, the company introduced a dedicated chatbot that helped the masses with COVID-19 vaccination slot reservation and downloading certificates. However, this feature is now being expanded making it more resourceful for the masses. The company is working to make this chatbot a one-stop-destination for the masses to download government-issued certificates and documents in the country. Below are the details:
WhatsApp Chatbot To Allow Additional Download Options
The WhatsApp chatbot which was announced last year is now said to offer additional download options besides just COVID-19 certificated. The chatbot will now let users download all important official documents from a single window.
The certificates which the WhatsApp chatbot will let you download in the future include a driving license, PAN card, and even income tax certifications. This feature is currently under the testing phase and the pilot project has already commenced.
While it is not yet revealed when exactly the new chatbot feature will be up and running is not revealed, the rumor mill suggests it to be fully functional within the next few weeks. The chatbot will let the users save and access the official documents in the DigiLocker app. Users can then show the documents at required times to the government officials.
We might see some additional features added to the WhatsApp chatbot in India in the future. But how exactly the company plans to expand the services of chatbot remains to be seen. We will keep you posted with the remaining updates on the same.

Major brands and professionals from different organizations also keep the audience posted with the latest updates using Twitter threads.
Like other major social media portals, Twitter is also a feature-rich microblogging website that lets users perform multiple tasks. Video playback is one popular option that Twitter has also added to its platform to make social posts more engaging. The platform is a host to both user-generated and professional videos.
You must have stumbled upon at least a bunch of random videos that you would have wanted to download on your respective smartphones or laptops/ PCs. So how do you do it? Does Twitter provide any direct provision of downloading videos from its mobile app or desktop version? Well, in this article we are making it easy for you to download a Twitter video on your smartphones (Android, iOS) and also laptops/ PCs.

Why we recommend the Reno7 Pro 5G as your next premium flagship purchase
The OPPO Reno Series, a flag bearer in innovative imaging is one of the most promising line-ups among smartphone brands. This is why I have been excited about OPPO’s India launch of the new Reno7 Series: The Reno7 Pro 5G crowned the portrait expert, and the power-packed allrounder the Reno7 5G, has the audiences raving. I recommend the Reno7 Pro 5G as your next premium flagship purchase, and here are the top five reasons that make it a must-buy.
Photography Redefined with Flagship Portrait Camera System
OPPO’s Reno series has always delivered a brilliant imaging performance and the Reno7 Pro 5G is no different. But what makes this device special is how OPPO has managed to pack a plethora of camera breakthroughs to make it the complete camera smartphone.
Taking the lead here is its 32MP front camera that uses the IMX709, the world’s most sensitive camera sensor. It is also OPPO’s first exclusive RGBW fusion sensor designed in collaboration with Sony. Now, what this superb tech delivers is sharper, clearer, and brighter selfies; it captures 60% more light and reduces noise by 30% when compared with traditional RGGB sensors. The IMX709 also comes with the first application of DOL-HDR technology that simultaneously captures long- and short exposure images to deliver detailed, crisp, evenly-exposed photographs.
Taking the lead here is its 32MP front camera that uses the IMX709, the world’s most sensitive camera sensor. It is also OPPO’s first exclusive RGBW fusion sensor designed in collaboration with Sony. Now, what this superb tech delivers is sharper, clearer, and brighter selfies; it captures 60% more light and reduces noise by 30% when compared with traditional RGGB sensors. The IMX709 also comes with the first application of DOL-HDR technology that simultaneously captures long- and short exposure images to deliver detailed, crisp, evenly-exposed photographs.
The front camera takes the selfie game to another league as it automatically identifies the number of people in the frame and switches angles from 80degree to 90degree using the smart wide-angle feature to give you the best group selfie ever.
The IMX709 is fabricated using the 22nm process thus making it use less power when compared with any other flagship front camera. Keeping the technicalities aside, the Reno7 Pro 5G sets the selfie benchmark high making it my personal favorite.
On the rear, the Reno7 Pro 5G employs a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor clubbed with an 8MP ultrawide shooter, a 2MP macro snapper, and a color temperature sensor. The large IMX766 (1/1.56-inch) uses OPPO’s Quadra Binning algorithm and All Pixel Omni-Directional PDAF camera technologies to deliver sterling camera performances, especially in low light.
Using innovative imaging algorithms such as Portrait Mode and AI Highlight Video, the device helps you to capture professional-looking photos/videos in any scenario.
In the Portrait mode, the camera uses pro depth of field and bokeh algorithms to reconstruct the bokeh light spots similar to DSLR cameras. You can choose from 25 levels of bokeh adjustment. This mode, which enhances the subject to retain its natural look and brightness, is one of my preferred shooting modes for candid clicks and I am completely impressed that the device can give any high-end DSLR a run for its money.
Most smartphones are capable of delivering great portrait videos during the day but the real test of a powerful camera is its ability to take good quality videos at night. This is where the Reno7 Pro 5G sets itself apart. Its Ultra Night Video algorithm is automatically activated in low light conditions when you use the AI Highlight Video feature. This allows the Reno7 Pro 5G to capture bright and vivid night-time portrait videos. The handset delivers an outstanding portrait imaging experience and one that I will surely recommend to my friends and family.
A Phone That You’ll Love to Flaunt
OPPO is known for its unique smartphone designs. The Reno7 Pro 5G is no different and is arguably one of the best-looking premium phones. It is the slimmest Reno ever and measures just 7.45mm and weighs 180gm.
The Reno7 Pro 5G is also the first smartphone to see the application of aircraft-grade LDI (Laser Direct Imaging) technology on the back panel of the device. Traditionally used to design PCBs in the aviation industry, LDI technology creates 1.2 million micro etchings on the device to give its rear surface a unique textured pattern on top of the OPPO Glow Design. This creates starlight trails combined with a matte gradient to achieve a unique look.
But it’s not just the back panel that is delightful. Its ‘Twin Moon’ camera design also grabbed my attention. OPPO, for the first time, has experimented with ceramics to decorate the lower half of the camera array. The upper half uses a metal ornament layering. But OPPO hasn’t paused there. The Reno7 Pro 5G’s rear camera module has 3D ‘Orbit Breathing lights’ that emit soft pulsating illumination with every notification; it also lights up while charging enhancing the overall visual appeal.
I am glad OPPO has kept in mind all the durability factors and layered both front and rear panels with 2.5D glass with a middle aluminum flat-edged frame. The Reno7 Pro 5G is amongst the few that offer a complete package in terms of design.
For the Reno7 Pro 5G, it’s not just the camera or the design that steals the limelight. It packs the octa-core Dimensity 1200-MAX 5G SoC, a customized 5G chipset that is specifically designed for the Reno7 Pro 5G. The chipset supports the camera capabilities of the device with AI Deblur and AI-PQ tech that prevents blurring in portraits affected by hand-held shaking and enhances color and contrast in HDR videos respectively. This chipset offers faster processing and consumes less power than standard Dimensity 1200 SoC.
My user experience with the Reno7 Pro 5G has been the best so far. No hiccups or lags while using heavy apps. The multitasking experience also gets super refined with 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM configuration. Besides, OPPO’s self-developed RAM expansion technology allows you to use an additional 3GB/5GB/7GB RAM from storage. This comes in handy if you use heavy apps for photo editing or to play graphic-rich 3D gaming.
Amplifying the mobile gaming experience here is the top-notch display combined with Ultra Touch Response technology. For reference, the Reno7 Pro 5G employs a tall 6.5-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz that helps with smoother frame transitions while gaming and media playback. Overall, the device delivers flagship-level performance.
Big Battery Complemented By Fastest Charging Speeds In Its Segment
One of the many reasons that make the Reno7 Pro 5G my recommendation in the premium mid-range segment is its 4,500mAh battery combined with 65W SuperVOOC fast-charging technology. Now, this is ample to get you through an entire day of usage on a single charge.
Besides, the faster-charging speeds are a blessing. I was able to get approximately two hours of gaming with just 5 minutes of charge. But if you are wondering how much time does a full charge take. That’s just around 31 minutes. Impressive right?
Elite User Experience With All-New ColorOS 12
The OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G comes with the all-new ColorOS 12; its revamped UI is user-friendly and adds to the premium feel of this handset. I liked the enhanced themes, new 3D icons, and Omoji (personalized emoji feature).
One of the useful upgrades I came across is the PC Connect feature. This improved feature allows the Reno7 Pro 5G to pair with a PC or laptop simply by scanning a QR code.
OPPO has also improved the overall privacy with the new ColorOS 12 and equipped the latest OS with the Anti-peeping Notifications feature. I have been tired of keeping unwanted glances at bay from reading my notifications, especially when I commute by public transport, and this feature has been my savior.
So Why Is Reno7 Pro 5G Our Top Pick?
The OPPO Reno series has become my pick in the premium smartphone range. It is among those few line-ups that have it all: looks, camera, chipset, and battery. At under Rs. 40,000, you would be hard-pressed to find another smartphone that ticks all these boxes. The smartphone—with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM—is priced at INR 39,999 is available in two attractive colours Startrails Blue & Starlight Black. The smartphone comes with some fabulous offers at mainline retailers and on Flipkart from 8th February 2022.

Vivo is rumored to replace its popular affordable “Y” smartphone lineup with the Vivo T1 series in India soon. We might witness the last few of the Vivo Y series handsets in India including the Vivo Y75 5G. This mid-tier 5G Vivo device is said to break covers on January 26 in the country. Its upcoming launch was also confirmed via a BIS (Bureau Of Indian Standards) certification listing, while the features and pricing have been tipped via other sources. We at Giznext have now managed to grab our hands on the exclusive render images with which we can confirm the full design aspects. Also, the pricing details and some of the features.
Vivo Y75 5G Official Renders, India Pricing Leaked
Ahead of the Vivo Y75 5G’s rumored January 26 launch in India, Giznext has managed to source the official renders. The render images shared by our sources have confirmed a waterdrop style notch instead of a punch-hole cutout seen on the new-generation budget 5G phones. The display has slim side bezels but a thick chin.
The Y75 5G’s rear panel features a big vertical camera module on the upper left housing two large sensors and a led flash. Notably, the camera module is painted in black giving it a distinct appeal from the entire back panel’s layout. The device will offer a side-mounted fingerprint scanner which will be used for the fingerprint scanner. We can also confirm black and blue colour options.
As far as the pricing is concerned, the Vivo Y75 5G is expected to arrive with a starting price tag of Rs. 21,990. The device might come in multiple RAM and storage options, but that can be only confirmed once the device goes official in the country. Just for reference, our source has suggested an offline launch in the country on January 26.
Vivo Y75 5G Key Features
The Vivo Y75 5G is expected to be a mid-range which as per the rumor mill will ship with the Dimensity 700 processor. The exact RAM and storage variants are yet to be confirmed but we will likely see up to 8GB RAM and 128 or 256GB storage capacity. It will boot on Android 12 OS which will be topped with FunTouch OS. A 5,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging support will drive the unit.
Following its first 5G device in India, Lava is planning to launch its second offering in the country backed with 5G network support soon. The upcoming smartphone is likely to be called the Agni 2. It is expected to be the successor of the Agni 5G that was launched in November last year in India.
Lava Agni 2 5G India Launch Timeline Confirmed
Notably, Lava has not shared any specific detail on the same. However, Giznext has managed to get to some exclusive details from industry sources. Our sources have confirmed that the upcoming Lava 5G model will have an AMOLED panel and 5G connectivity. The handset is currently tipped to be in the testing phase. Our sources further revealed the alleged Lava Agni 2 will be announced within the next two months (by March). This means we can hear some developments from Lava soon.
That’s all the key information we could source right now, but we will update the details once available. Nevertheless, we can expect it to be the successor of the Lava Agni 5G, as mentioned earlier. We will likely see Lava integrating the next-gen Agni model with some upgraded hardware compared to the previous-generation model.
There are possibilities that we get to see the same display panel as the Lava Agni 5G on the new model as well. We are speaking of an FHD+ AMOLED display. What remains to be seen is if the brand adds a higher 120Hz of the older 90Hz refresh rate. The camera hardware might be the primary upgrade along with the processor on the Lava Agni 2 5G.
Just for reference, the optics on the first gen-model comprises a 64MP quad-rear camera setup and a 16MP selfie snapper. The new generation model could use an upgraded main camera and other sensors. The previous-gen Lava Agni 5G employed a Dimensity 810 processor. Whether the new model uses the same Dimensity series or a Qualcomm SoC is yet to be confirmed. Lastly, we can also expect a fast charging supported 5,000 mAh battery similar to its precursor aided by fast charging support.
It is worth noting that Micromax is also planning to launch its first 5G smartphone in the country, but got delayed due to an ongoing chipset issue. However, sources close to the development informed Giznext that Micromax will soon launch its first 5G smartphone in India.
It seems homegrown smartphone brands in India are also ramping up to refresh their product lineups with new launches to compete against the Chinese and other international players. Both Micromax and Lava are ready to release their new offerings for the Indian audience soon. While Micromax has officially teased its next budget handset for the Indian audience, Giznext exclusively reported the upcoming Lava Agni 2 5G. Now, we have managed to source details related to the Micromax IN Note 2’s India price and official sale timeline.
Micromax In Note 2 Price In India, Official Sale Timeline Confirmed
The Micromax IN Note 2 is confirmed to launch in India on January 25, 2022. The company itself has confirmed this detail via its official Twitter handle earlier. However, we at Giznext have managed to get details related to its pricing as well as its first sale in the country. As per our industry sources, the Micromax IN Note 2 will be announced between Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000 price range in India.
There are possibilities we see multiple RAM and storage variants of the upcoming Micromax budget phone in the market. The prices could differ as per the variants. We are currently not aware of the exact models but will share the updates when available. Apart from the pricing, our source has also revealed the first sale timeline for the Micromax IN Note 2.
The handset will be made available for sale by the first week of February 2022. The Micromax In Note 2 will be available for sale in India via e-commerce giant Flipkart. The company will also be selling this handset via its official India website. As far as features are concerned, the brand itself has hinted at a few details.
According to the official teasers, the Micromax IN Note 2 will flaunt a ‘Dazzling Glass’ finish. However, the company has not clarified if the back panel would indeed be using a glass back panel or it would rather improvise the plastic design to offer a glass finish. The company has also shared another key feature of the upcoming IN Note series handset (display).
The device is confirmed to flaunt a big 6.43-inch AMOLED display. We can expect it to offer an FHD+ screen resolution. However, we can’t really say for sure if the panel will support a standard 60Hz or higher 90Hz/120Hz refresh rate. Other key features such as the camera specifications and battery capacity are at large. But, we can expect the company to bring some upgrades and also share the details via teasers in the coming days.
Oppo’s next offering for the Indian audience is the Reno7 series. The vanilla Reno7 and the Reno7 Pro are expected to be available sometime soon in the country. However, until now only the rumor mill has been going on with the guessing game for the Reno7 series India launch. Meanwhile, we at Giznext have not only managed to get the expected timeline for Reno7 and the Reno7 Pro India launch but also the pricing and availability details. Check out the details below:
Oppo Reno7, Reno7 Pro Price In India, Launch Timeline
We at Giznext have got some exclusive insight from the industry sources related to the Oppo Reno7 series India price as well as timeline. As per our source, the Oppo Reno7 vanilla model will be announced in between Rs. 28,000 to Rs. 30,000 price range. That could be depending on the variants. On the other hand, the Oppo Reno Pro will be heading to the Indian stores with a price tag of Rs. 47,990. Our source claims this would be the pricing of the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage capacity. Note, the pricing mentioned is of the retail box which suggests the device will actually retail at a lower cost at the stores.
As far as the launch timeline is concerned, both smartphones are said to launch by next month in the country but the exact date is yet to be confirmed by our source and also from the brand. We will keep you posted with the exact availability details of the Reno7 series in India. That said, both Reno 7 and the Reno7 Pro will be available for sale via Flipkart in the country. A dedicated microsite has been already created on the e-commerce retailer’s portal.
Another key detail confirmed via our source is the Reno7 series specifications. Both vanilla Reno7 and the Reno7 Pro will be packing identical sets of internals as their Chinese counterparts. However, the company will be rebranding the Reno7 Pro’s chipset in the country. Just for reference, the Oppo Reno7 Pro was launched with the Dimensity 1200 SoC in China. The company is said to launch the Pro model with the Dimensity 1200 Max chipset.
The vanilla Reno7 will be powered by the same Dimensity 900 octa-core processor. The vanilla Reno7 will be arriving in India with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, while the Reno7 Pro will be available with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. Additionally, the former will have 7GB virtual RAM support and the latter will come with a 5GB virtual RAM extension. Both devices will be pre-installed with ColorOS 12 interface.
