The Poco X5 Pro won’t boost the phone’s specifications back to those of a top competitor. We’ll have to accept that the phone is a mid-range device. According to sources, it will be based on the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition. It has a 5,000mAh battery with 67W rapid charging and the Snapdragon 778G chipset.

The Redmi Note 12 5G will serve as the base for the Poco X5 5G, although there may be significant modifications. For example, it switches to the Snapdragon 695 from the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. The rear panel has also been updated. The distinction is understandable because the Redmi Note 12 5G with Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 reached India recently. According to reports, both Poco X5 phones will run MIUI 14 with Android 13.
The year 2022 has been eventful for consumer electronics brands globally. In India too, tech OEMs released numerous new gadgets and products to help the masses with an improved lifestyle. Specifically, the smart wearables market has been flourishing rapidly in the country with international as well as homegrown brands contributing equally in this market.
Mivi, which is a popular Indian digital accessories brand has added a new product to its portfolio right before the beginning of 2023. The Mivi Model E got introduced to Indian audiences as a budget smartwatch integrated with a bunch of health metrics sensors including Hear Rate monitor and SpO2.
At an asking price of Rs. 1,799, the Mivi Model E has tagged itself a pocket-friendly smartwatch in India. But is it worth a buy? That could be a major concern for users who are wary of cheaper products. For interested users, we have done a review of the Mivi Model E smartwatch and shared our opinion if it makes for a good buy in 2023.

Mivi Model E Smartwatch Review: Design And Wearing Comfort
The Mivi Model E brings a standard design comprising a large rectangular dial combined with a soft silicon material used as straps. Despite the cheaper price tag, the company has made sure the quality used is good and the design falls in line with the modern trend. The curved rectangular dial along with the digital crown on the right adds to the looks, while the soft strap material adds to the premium comfort.
However, you don’t get an entirely sweat-resistant strap material which could hamper the wearing experience on hot summer days. Thanks to the IP68 certification it gets a decent level of protection from natural elements such as dust and water. Also, the straps are detachable allowing you to use different aftermarket 22mm straps.
So, you get to fiddle with different colored straps with the Model E smartwatch. The metallic frame used for the dial makes the Model E smartwatch all durable. This is better than the standard plastic material used for smartwatches in the budget segment. Overall, the Mivi Model E smartwatch has all the elements present that make the design trendy and also practical for daily use.
Mivi Model E Smartwatch Review: Display Performance, Available Features
The Mivi Model E is a budget smartwatch which is why expecting an AMOLED screen would be criminal. However, the panel used by the Model E smartwatch isn’t disappointing either. Under Rs. 2,000, you get a 1.69-inch HD display inside this budget smartwatch.
The Model E’s smartwatch gets a color screen with touch-sensitive control. The feedback with scrolling is decent. You might need to use firm gestures to scroll through this watch’s screen. Using the digital crown, you can easily go back to the previous screen on the watch and access the remaining menu and features.
The large screen size makes the texts and notifications clearly visible and helps with smooth navigation too. With 500 nits peak brightness, you don’t really struggle outdoors using the Mivi Model E smartwatch.
Mivi Model E Smartwatch: Features, Battery And Pairing Experience
Speaking of the available features, Mivi has packed the Model E smartwatch with a Heart rate monitor, SpO2 (blood oxygen monitor), and activity trackers including a steps counter and sleep monitor. You can pair the Mivi Model E smartwatch with your smartphone using Bluetooth for the functioning of the health sensors and record the relevant metrics.
Furthermore, you can also download the Mivi Health app from Google Play Store and Apple App Store if you wish to access all the health metrics and change the watch’s settings directly from the paired smartphone.
The Mivi Model E smartwatch offers over 50 watch faces and 120 sports modes and also a couple of built-in games. The pairing process and easy and you would hardly come across any difficulties while connecting it with Android or iOS phones.
Mivi didn’t specify the exact battery capacity tucked inside the Model E budget smartwatch but claimed around seven days of backup on a single charge. During our testing period, the watch’s battery lasted for over five days which is close to the figures that the company claimed. You can use the magnetic charger cable that ships with the retail box to refuel this smartwatch.
Mivi Model E Smartwatch Final Verdict: Good Buy In 2023?
The Mivi Model E smartwatch under Rs. 2,000 can be a good option for you if you are looking for a modern smartwatch with basic health features. The large color display with touch controls and premium wearing comfort is the added benefits of making this purchase. But if you are expecting some advanced feature such as voice calling support, then you will have to increase your budget and consider other options in the market.
SIM Application is found on iPhone, iPad, and Windows devices
It is the control center of the KnowRoaming SIM Sticker
In some regions, mobile data is called cellular data
Most cell phones have a tiny chip called a SIM card which is something that most of you are probably already aware of. You probably already know how to use it to save contact information and a limited number of text messages, too.
But did you know that the SIM card has very little amount of memory that can be used to store program codes? Basic applications are usually pre-programmed into this slot by the network operator who issues the SIM card. This enables users to carry out actions relating to their cellular service such as checking their balance and activating service options. If you have an Android device, accessing a SIM card application is a simple procedure. But on an iPhone, these apps are accessible in a different way.

What Are SIM Applications?
A GSM standard called SIM Applications Toolkit enables SIM cards to launch operations that can be used to provide value-added services. This is the SIM Menu that your carrier has preloaded so they can give you extra services. Mobile money payments, substitutes for USSD codes that have a more engaging user interface, and other services are examples of value-added services.
How To Access SIM Toolkit On iOS?
With iOS 12.1 and later updates, the location of the SIM application was changed, putting it in a more logical location but still under Settings. In some regions, mobile data is called cellular data but the steps are the same. You simply need to follow the listed steps to access the SIM app on your iOS:
Step 1: Go to your Settings menu.
Step 2: Pick “Mobile Data”.
Step 3: Choose “SIM Applications”. And that’s pretty much it!
What your carrier has preloaded on the SIM card will have a significant impact on the features that are accessible there. For example, SIM cards not only provide billing and payment information but also give you the option to view missed calls while your phone has been out of service.

Dish TV set-top box can become slow over time
Resetting a Dish TV set-top fixes slow speed issues
Do you use a Dish TV connection? If so, there’s a good likelihood that your Dish TV set-top box has slowed down over time to the point that even the most basic remote commands require several seconds to be processed. It takes a while to switch channels, and it always takes forever to load the program guide.
When you are browsing channels, it can be really aggravating since you never know if your remote input was received by the box or if it is simply sitting there happily processing an old command. Let us assure you that there is a solution if you have encountered this problem and have wondered if there is a method to resolve it. All it requires is to clear up the box’s cache and do a reboot to freshen it up.
Prerequisite: Verify that your TV and set-top box are both on and that the boot process for your set-top box is complete. Before beginning, you can turn on your set-top box for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 1: Press and hold down the “Menu” button on the remote control of your set-top box. Hold it there until the TV displays a menu with the title “Installation Main Menu” or something similar.
Step 2: Select “System Setup” from this option and then click “OK.” You’ll reach the “System Setup” menu screen as a result.
Step 3: Select “Erase EPG” from the menu options in the “System Setup” menu screen, then click “OK.” A warning message will be shown on the screen by the system. Click “OK.”
Step 4: As directed by the message, press “OK” or one of the Color buttons on the remote. As soon as you click “OK,” a notice letting you know that the erasing is in progress will appear on the screen.
Step 5: Once complete, the system will immediately return to the “System Setup” menu screen. Choose “Erase flash FS” from the menu options here.
Step 6: The system will need your confirmation once more. To continue, click Confirm.
Step 7: The box will restart automatically after Step 6 is finished. The system will download the program guide and other data from the network, which could take a while for the reboot to finish.
Step 8: Your set-top box is ready to use and faster than before after the update is finished. That’s all.
