Xiaomi’s upcoming Redmi Note 10 series might just have been spotted in China clearing regulatory approvals, revealing key specifications of the next members in the popular budget series.
The successor to the popular Redmi Note 9 series is, the Redmi 10 series is expected to launch in China soon. According to a post by Digital Chat Station on the Chinese microblogging platform, Weibo, the new Redmi series device with “M2007J22C” model number has received network approval. The tipster also suggested that this might be a Redmi Note 10 series device.
The screenshot attached also shows that the device will come with support for 5G network in addition to 4G LTE connectivity. This also means that this will be the first Redmi Note series device to come with 5G support and we can thereby also expect a slight price jump in the Note series.
The tipster further suggests that the Note 10 series will most likely be powered by the MT6853V/TNZA and the MT6875 chipsets which are the model numbers of the MediaTek Dimensity 720 and Dimensity 820 5G chipsets respectively. The Redmi Note 10 could be powered by the Dimensity 720 SoC and the Redmi Note 10 Pro might feature Dimensity 820. The same chipset is present on the Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X Pro which were unveiled in China a few months ago.
Further, previous reports also suggest that the device will come with up to 8GB of RAM and will run on Android 10 OS which will most likely be on MIUI 12 skin. The Redmi Note 10 is expected to pack in a 48MP triple rear camera set up with an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP depth sensor. The Redmi Note 10 Pro is said to come with a 48MP quad-camera setup with an 8MP ultrawide, 8MP telephoto, and a 2MP depth sensor. Both the devices are expected to have 6.57-inch AMOLED screens and will offer up to 256GB of internal storage.
With MediaTek Dimnesity, the Redmi Note 10 is likely to get a big performance leap compared to the MediaTek G85 SoC. MediaTek is yet to enter the non-Chinese market with the Dimesnity series, so it will be interesting to see if the SoC changes in other markets.
With so many shows and movies to choose from on Australia's major streaming services, it can often be difficult to finding the best new stuff that's been added each week.
In an effort to make things easier, every Monday we'll be hand-picking the best new shows and movies to watch on Aussie streaming platforms each weekend, covering the likes of Netflix, Disney Plus, Binge, Stan and Amazon Prime Video.
Below, you'll find a list of this weekend's highlights, separated by streaming service, with binge-worthy new shows sitting alongside some great big-budget new movie arrivals – and a couple of oddball dark horse entries, just for some variety.
This week is rather jam-packed in terms of new releases, with some extremely high-profile shows and movies to look forward to. Here are our streaming picks for week of September 4 to September 6, 2020.
Netflix
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (Movie – available September 4)
From the creative mind of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) comes I'm Thinking of Ending Things, a film that's takes the filmmaker's unmistakable mind-bending style into darker territory. Based on Iain Reid’s acclaimed novel, the film sees a young woman (Jessie Buckley) accompany her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to meet his family for the first time. Right from the outset, something feels very off about these people...
Chef's Table: BBQ (TV series - available now)
Does the thought of slow-cooked ribs and brisket make your mouth water like Mark Zuckerberg when he's near a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's? You're going to love the latest instalment of Netflix's fantastic Chef's Table series, which is dedicated entirely to different types of BBQ from around the world. Better get your bib ready...
The Boys: Season 2 (TV Series – fnew episodes available now)
Arguably the best superhero show on television, The Boys returns for its highly anticipated second season, and early word has it that it's even better than the first. Following on from last season's bombshell reveal regarding the wife of Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), the boys ramp up their war on the 'supes'. Unfortunately for them, they have a new (and extremely volatile) supe to deal with in Stormfront (Aya Cash).
Disney's Mulan (Movie – Premier Access available now)
It's official – the live-action Mulan is skipping theatres entirely to debut on Disney Plus, but it'll cost a hefty premium of AU$34.99 on top of your monthly subscription fee to watch it. Thankfully, this purchase, which Disney is calling Premier Access to Mulan, will be permanently tied to your Disney Plus account, meaning you'll be able to watch it as many times as you like (so long as you're still subscribed to the service). If you aren't keen on spending extra for Premier Access to Mulan, you're in luck – it's been confirmed that Mulan is coming to all Disney Plus subscribers in December.
Earth To Ned (TV Series– available now)
Now here's a talk show that's out of this world! From The Jim Henson Company, makers of The Muppets and The Dark Crystal, comes Earth To Ned, a puppet-filled talk show hosted by alien commander Ned and his lieutenant Cornelius. Launching with ten celebrity-filled episodes, Earth To Ned features guests appearances from the likes of Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back), Joel McHale (Community), Gina Carano (The Mandalorian), Eli Roth (Hostel) and many others.
The surprise hit of DC's original television lineup, Doom Patrol is a quirky superhero show about a team of outcasts who were brought together under the guidance of a mad scientist (Timothy Dalton). A hilarious comic book series for adults, Doom Patrol's second season looks even crazier than the first (in a good way).
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure(Movie – available now)
Just in time for the release of Bill and Ted Face the Music in cinemas, Stan has added the film that started it all to its content library with Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! Join Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) as they travel through time collecting famous historical figures in order to pass a crucial high school report. If they don't, Ted will be sent to military school, putting an end to the pair's band Wyld Stallyns, which is destined to bright world peace in the distant future. Needless to say, failing would be most heinous!
Power Book II: Ghost(TV Series – Season 1, Episode 1 available September 6)
Picking up after the shock ending of Power's sixth season, Power Book II: Ghost takes the story in an entirely new direction, acting almost as an entirely new series that's set in the same universe. In Ghost, we follow Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) as he navigates his new life while trying to shed his father's legacy. That said, he'll stop at nothing to protect his family.
John Will portable monitor -$80.74 at AliExpress
(£62.36/AU$111.92) If you've not heard of John Will, you're not alone. However, this portable 13.3-inch monitor is currently the cheapest on the market and could make an excellent remote working companion.View Deal
We scoured the web for the cheapest portable monitor on the market and came up with this John Will display, available at AliExpress for only $80.
With a 13.3-inch screen with full HD resolution, this monitor could be great for mirroring the screen of a smaller device or as a dedicated Zoom video conferencing display.
Weighing just under 1kg, its footprint is slightly bigger than a sheet of A4 paper and a mere 12.5mm thick - and it can also be powered by USB and a 12V adaptor. Plus, it costs way less than $100, which isn't bad for a new product line this side of Black Friday 2020.
The monitor features a micro USB port, mini HDMI slot, VESA mount, a pair of speakers, an 800:1 contrast ratio, and a 178-degree viewing angle. This model comes with a battery and metal stand, but no touchscreen capabilities.
Bear in mind, it can't connect directly to a smartphone, although you should be able to hook up a Google Chromecast dongle.
It’s worth checking the full list of supported devices before you buy; the good news is that it's compatible with gaming consoles, like the Nintendo Switch.
If this product comes from mainland China, it will take at least a month to reach the UK or the US (and potentially more). You may be levied an additional tax either directly or through the courier.
If you've managed to find a cheaper product with equivalent specifications, in stock and brand new, let us know and we'll tip our hat to you.

Redmi 9A specs
The Redmi 9A comes an Aura 360-design and flaunts a 6.53-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels, a dew-drop notch and a 20:9 aspect ratio. Just like the Redmi 9, the display is certified by TUV Rheinland for low Blue light. On the inside, the Realme 9A is powered by octa-core MediaTek Helio G25 SoC onboard clocked at 2GHz. It is paired with up to 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
As for the optics, the Redmi 9A comes with a single 13MP sensor. For selfies, you get a 5MP snapper on the device with 83-degree FoV. There is a single flashlight on the device to help in low-light scenarios. It runs on MIUI 12 based on Android 10.
Further, the device will have a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging via micro USB port.

Western Digital has announced its new G-Technology-branded external SSD aimed at content creators and people with confidential content that uses the company’s ArmorLock security platform.
The new platform combines sophisticated encryption algorithms with ease-of-use as well as remote management. Instead of using on-device password-based authentication, Western Digital’s ArmorLock relies on biometric (face recognition or fingerprint scanner) or passcode authentication used on modern smartphones and a special app that issues a key which unlocks the drive wirelessly when it is connected to a PC. The sandboxed ArmorLock applications also support remote management enabling administrators to control access of multiple users to multiple drives.
Such an approach eliminates passwords, makes the drive easier to use, and enhances security because at times people use too simple passwords that are not hard to guess (or even write passwords down on the back of the drive).
Western Digital’s G-Technology ArmorLock encrypted NVMe SSD — the first drive to use the platform — comes with 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption and NIST P-256 elliptic curve-based key management. The drive features third party-audited core cryptography with side-channel attack mitigation for extra protection. Moreover, the product automatically updates its firmware when it is connected to the ArmorLock application.

As far as performance is concerned, the G-Technology ArmorLock encrypted NVMe SSD is rated for up to 1000MB/s sequential read and write speeds, which is in line with other drives that use a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface.
To top of sophisticated security technologies, the G-Technology ArmorLock encrypted NVMe SSD can protect the data physically. The drive comes in a rugged chassis that is IP67 dust and water resistant, can survive a 1000-lb crush as well as can be dropped from three meters.
The G-Technology ArmorLock encrypted NVMe SSD is not cheap. The drive is currently available only in a 2TB configuration and is priced at $599 in the USA and £559.99 in the UK.
Canon Australia has announced that the company will shutter its online store at the end of the month (September 30 to be precise) "for the foreseeable future".
According to Canon Australia, this decision was made to help "[streamline its] efforts in supporting local retailers" who have been affected by the ongoing global pandemic and "to drive competition" in the country.

It's still business as usual until September 30, though, so customers looking to pick up new products – be it cameras, lenses or printers – can do so till then and will also get Canon's 14-day "Peace of Mind" return policy.
However, the company has locally already stopped taking payments for backorders and is no longer adding customers to waiting lists. So if you were looking to pick up a Canon EOS R5 or the more affordable EOS R6, for example, and they're no longer in stock on the Canon Store, you'll need to go to a local authorised retailer.
Canon Australia's promotional codes and discounts will be valid only until September 30, and they will not be transferrable to purchases made at retailers. If you have a gift card or voucher for the local Canon Store, you'll need to use it up by September 30 as well.
Canon's free shipping policy is also available until September 30. Thankfully, Canon Australia's unique five-year warranty on its products isn't going anywhere, and will continue to apply as long you buy from an authorised retailer.
For more information on how this closure might affect you, head to Canon Australia's FAQ page on the local website.
Cygilant, a threat detection cybersecurity company, has confirmed a ransomware attack.
Christina Lattuca, Cygilant’s chief financial officer, said in a statement that the company was “aware of a ransomware attack impacting a portion of Cygilant’s technology environment.”
“Our Cyber Defense and Response Center team took immediate and decisive action to stop the progression of the attack. We are working closely with third-party forensic investigators and law enforcement to understand the full nature and impact of the attack. Cygilant is committed to the ongoing security of our network and to continuously strengthening all aspects of our security program,” the statement said.
Cygilant is believed to be the latest victim of NetWalker, a ransomware-as-a-service group, which lets threat groups rent access to its infrastructure to launch their own attacks, according to Brett Callow, a ransomware expert and threat analyst at security firm Emsisoft.
The file-encrypting malware itself not only scrambles a victim’s files but also exfiltrates the data to the hacker’s servers. The hackers typically threaten to publish the victim’s files if the ransom isn’t paid.
A site on the dark web associated with the NetWalker ransomware group posted screenshots of internal network files and directories believed to be associated with Cygilant.
Cygilant did not say if it paid the ransom. But at the time of writing, the dark web listing with Cygilant’s data had disappeared.
“Groups permanently delist companies when they’ve paid or, in some cases, temporarily delist them once they’ve agreed to come to the negotiating table,” said Callow. “NetWalker has temporarily delisted pending negotiations in at least one other case.”
Close on the heels of India's ban on 118 Chinese apps, including a few that are linked to Tencent, reports suggest that the tech giant is bringing additional investments to the popular Indian music and podcast streaming platform Gaana.
According to published reports, Tencent led the latest round of funding that pumped in $50 million into Gaana, of which 80% came from the Chinese tech giant. The rest of the fund infusion was done by Times Internet. Post the round, Tencent now owns 34.4% of the company whereas Times Group's holding got diluted to 60.18%.
The latest fund infusion comes two years after Tencent had let a $115 million investment in the company owned by Prashan Agarwal, which competes with the likes of JioSaavn, Spotify, YouTube Music and Wynk, according to currently available regulatory filings.
In May, barely days after India locked horns militarily with China over a long-standing border dispute to its east, there were reports of Tencent announcing investments to the tune of $70 billion on new technologies in the areas of cloud computing , cyber security and artificial intelligence. The investment decision came close on the heels of the Chinese government seeking a reboot of its economy through innovations in emergent technology.
Weeks later, Tencent and Bytedance were among the Chinese companies that faced considerable backlash over India's border skirmish. This came in the form of a ban on 59 apps of Chinese make, that also included short-video sharing platform TikTok. These companies have since faced similar bans in the US and Australia.
Immediately thereafter, the federal government in India also decided to scrutinise Chinese investments closely over fears of possible hostile takeovers. The move had caused smartphone manufacturers some jitters, especially for those from across the border who are having to stall their direct lending schemes in the country.
A simple workaround
Looks like Tencent has managed to circumvent India's anti-China sentiment with its latest investments in Gaana, which has been made through its European entity Tencent Cloud BV. In the previous round, the investments came through Tencent Music Entertainment (TME), the Chinese firm’s subsidiary that manages its music streaming and karaoke services.
Gaana allotted 58,813 optionally converted debentures at Rs 63,761.93 per share to raise $40 million from Tencent, which resulted in its holding in the company going up to 34.44% and a dilution in Times Internet's stake to 60.18%. The remaining 5.38% stake comprises an ESOP pool. An estimation by Fintrackr suggests that with the latest round of fund infusion, Gaana's valuation is around $530 million.
Just so that we put things in perspective, one of the early investors in Gaana was India's phone maker Micromax, which reappeared on the crowded smartphone market recently. The reappearance coincided with the Make in India policy of the federal government that guarantees monetary benefits to manufacturers who make their products locally.
The focus is on video-sharing
In the past eight months, this is Tencent's fifth major investment in the Indian app market. The company had already investment in delivery giant Swiggy, DoubtNut, Pratilipi and Khatabook thus far in 2020.
For Gaana, the fresh infusion of funds would help it grow a short-video app HotShot that was launched post India's ban on TikTok. Currently, Gaana claims 185 million monthly active users and is targeting the 250 million mark by end March 2021. It has a music library of more than 45 million songs across multiple Indian languages. The company also boasts over 5,000 user-generated podcasts each month across several genres and languages.
Gaana and its competitors had recorded between 10-15% growth in traffic during the Covid-19 led lockdown, though off late, the company has been actively pushing its video-sharing platform Hotshot. It's close competitor JioSaavn, owned by the Reliance Jio brand, too is following a similar strategy by promoting another short-video app Triller.
Indian food delivery startup Zomato has raised $62 million from Temasek, resuming a financing round that it originally expected to close in January this year.
Singapore’s state investment arm Temasek financed the capital through its unit MacRitchie Investments, a regulatory filing showed. Business intelligence firm Tofler shared the filing with TechCrunch.
A Zomato spokesperson in India did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.
Zomato kickstarted its new financing round about a year ago, a person familiar with the matter told TechCrunch. The company has met with several investors but most talks have not materialized.
But Ant Financial has yet to deliver two-thirds of the committed capital, Zomato investor Info Edge said in late July. In its IPO prospectus late last month, Ant Financial cited a regulatory change in India as the reason for it not being able to invest in Zomato. (It’s very common for investors to finance their committed capital to a startup in several tranches.)
In April this year, India made a change to its foreign investment policy that requires Chinese investors — who have ploughed billions of dollars into Indian startups in recent years — to take approval from New Delhi before they could write new checks to Indian firms.
In January, Zomato chief executive Deepinder Goyal said the company expects to close a round of up to $600 million by the end of the month. In the same month, Zomato acquired the Indian food delivery business of Uber. In early April, he told TechCrunch that he was expecting to close the round by mid-May, attributing delays to the coronavirus outbreak.

If you're keen to watch Mulan this weekend via Premier Access, you can sign up to Disney Plus below and visit the film's dedicated landing page to unlock it starting this Friday, September 4.
Lise Buyer has been advising startups on how to go public for the last 13 years through her consultancy, Class V Group. She built the business after working as an investment banker, and then as a director at Google, where she helped architect the company’s famously atypical 2004 IPO.
It’s perhaps because Google’s offering was so misunderstood that Buyer has come to think more highly of traditional IPOs over the years, likening herself to a golf caddie who has “played the course a whole lot of times” and can tell a management team what will happen in different circumstances.
Indeed, while Buyer says she is “paid the same regardless” of whether a team chooses a regular IPO, an auction model, a SPAC or a direct listing, she doesn’t believe the world needs direct listings or SPACs nearly as much as the investors forming them have made it seem. Rather, she thinks the traditional IPO process has been unfairly maligned in recent years, helped along by an outraged Bill Gurley.
(If you somehow missed it, the famed VC began pushing back very publicly on IPOs last year, calling them a “bad joke” because of the pre-IPO stakes handed by banks to favored institutional investors, who sometimes reap tens of millions of dollars from a company’s first day on the public market — money that would otherwise go to the issuers themselves. Gurley even hosted an invitation-only event in San Francisco last fall called “Direct Listings: A Simpler and Superior Alternative to the IPO.” )
Certainly, it irks Buyer that companies that choose the traditional route have been made out more recently to be “morons” that are taken advantage of by the investment banks that underwrite their deals.
“It’s so much more nuanced than that,” she says. “It’s a little pathetic that the conversation has evolved the way it has.”
What is it these discussions that do not ring true to her? Primarily, she says, these first-day “pops” are sanctioned by management teams. “It’s not up to Bill Gurley to choose the right price,” she says. It “isn’t just bankers [who] come in and say, ‘We think you’re worth $40 [per share] you’re going to sell at $20 [per share]. Have have it.” It is “up to the management team, which generally has to think about much more than just day one. Some want a pop, some don’t. It’s their call.”
Buyer points to the videoconferencing company Zoom, whose shares soared 72% on the day of its April IPO last year (and have kept surging through this pandemic). CEO Eric Yuan and the executive suite he’d built “knew the stock was going to jump” and agreed to the stock’s pricing anyway, according to Buyer. They wanted to set realistic, achievable expectations, rather than begin racing to meet inflated ones.
Management “doesn’t want to be on the hook just because the market is temporarily willing to pay something astronomical — by in in many cases, people who really don’t understand the fundamentals,” she says. Otherwise, she continues, “when three months later the company comes out with a forecast that doesn’t match [those] crazy expectations, management has to live with that for very long time.”
Similarly, Buyer highlights the software company Bill.com, which saw its shares jump 60% on the day of its IPO this past December. While there might have been hand-wringing over money left on the table, she thinks it was the right move and one for which the company was quickly rewarded.
“With Bill.com, management knew that demand dramatically outstripped supply and they could have priced that deal significantly higher,” she says. They didn’t raise their shares pricing because they didn’t want to “message anything unusual about Wall Street,” she continues, but also the company already had in mind its secondary stock sale. Indeed, in June, with Bill.com’s business accelerating and its shares ticking upward, management sold a much larger percentage of the company — at a much higher price.
One could argue the company benefited unexpectedly from the pandemic, as have many software businesses. Buyer sees it differently, though. “Because they’d previously established a good rapport and trust with investors with that lower priced IPO, such that they were able to raise so much more money and take less dilution four months later, who’s to say they made a mistake [on opening day], giving the public pension funds a little bit of a jump?”
Whether one of the most highly anticipated IPOs of the year — Airbnb — chooses a traditional path for some of these same reasons should become apparent soon enough. It was reported by Bloomberg just today that the company rebuffed a takeover by the SPAC of hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman in favor of a traditional IPO.
In the meantime, the accommodations giant is far from alone in having to decide right now on the best way forward for its business. SPACs in particular right now are capturing the imagination of founders and investors alike. Says Buyer of her own clients, “There are folks who were not considering a SPAC six weeks ago who are getting tapped on the shoulder now and are trying to evaluate the specific terms — and the specific trade-offs — of these potential merger-partner-slash acquirers.”
As for direct listings — which have been lauded as a less expensive way to go public and, as of an SEC order last week, will allow companies to raise money as they are making that shift — Buyer isn’t exactly on the fence when it comes to these, either.
“With a direct listing that includes primary raise, it will be interesting to see if the company engages underwriters as opposed to advisors, and therefore if the expenses are lower – or perhaps even higher – than [with] an IPO. It could be either, we just don’t know yet.
“Again,” Buyer adds, “I have no horse in the hunt. I just see this as a solution desperately in search of an actual, as opposed to drummed-up, problem.”

Facebook has banned a politician from India’s ruling party, Bharatiya Janata Party, for violating its policies against hate speech on its p...
Facebook has banned a politician from India’s ruling party, Bharatiya Janata Party, for violating its policies against hate speech on its platform, the company said today, weeks after inaction on the politician’s posts landed the social giant in hot water in its biggest market by users.
The company said it had removed profiles of T. Raja Singh, who had posted about Rohingya Muslim immigrants to be shot among other anti-Muslim sentiments. Singh will no longer be allowed to create profiles across Facebook services and unofficial groups and posts affiliated to him will also be nuked.
Singh, termed as a “dangerous individual” by Facebook, has a history of voicing problematic and hateful views on social platforms and in public appearances. Several of those posts, for which Facebook has banned him, remain online on Twitter and YouTube.
Today’s move comes weeks after the Wall Street Journal reported that a top Facebook executive in India had chosen to not take any actions on Singh’s posts because she was afraid it could hurt the company’s business prospects in the country.
A person familiar with the matter and local media reports claim that Facebook had removed some of Singh’s posts in the past. The Wall Street Journal also reported that the aforementioned Facebook executive — Ankhi Das — also showed support to BJP’s Narendra Modi before he was elected as Prime Minister in 2014 and disparaged the opposition party, Indian National Congress.
In a statement today, a Facebook spokesperson said, “the process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove his account.”
In the last few weeks, Facebook has received some of the harshest criticism to date in India, where it reaches more than 400 million users. Politicians from both sides — the opposition and ruling party — have accused the company of having political biases.
In a letter to Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, India’s IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad earlier this month expressed concerns about the alleged political leanings of the company’s staff and accused them of suppressing pages that support right-wing views.

Singing competitions like The Voice are all the rage these days, which is why Netflix has launched one version in Sing On! The twist here is that the show's contestants aren't looking for fame or recording contracts – they're looking for cold, hard cash! Similar to video games like SingStar and Rock Band, contestants must sing their hearts out while trying to stay in-tune with an on-screen vocal analyser. The longer they last, the more money they win!

Based on Iain Reid’s acclaimed novel, the film sees a young woman (Jessie Buckley) accompany her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to meet his family for the first time. Right from the outset, something feels very off about these people...
A direct follow-up to Netflix's 2017 horror comedy The Babysitter, this sequel picks up years after Cole (Judah Lewis) defeated a satanic cult led by his babysitter. Now in high school and trying to forget his past, Cole is faced once again by the very same cult members he stopped before, which is weird, because they were dead last time he checked.
