Samsung Galaxy M21 and Galaxy A50s get price cut in India

The Galaxy M21 and Galaxy A50s received price hikes last month
The handsets are already listed with new price on Samsung's website
The deliveries will still start after the lockdown period ends in the country

Samsung Galaxy M21 and Galaxy A50s models have now received price cut in India. Notably, the handsets received a price hike just last month after the government announced the GST rate increase. Following the price hike, the Galaxy M21 variant with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage increased to Rs 14,222 while the model with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage was retailing for Rs 16,329. Now, both the models have received a price cut and the 4GB RAM variant is now available for Rs 13,199 while the 6GB RAM has been listed at the brand's website at Rs 15,499.
On the other hand, the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage model and 6GB + 128GB models of the Galaxy A50s were available for Rs 21,070 and Rs 26,900 following the price hikes by the company. After the latest price cut, you will be able to pick these variants for Rs 18,599 and Rs 20,561, respectively. While you can already see the new prices for these handsets on the brand's official website, the deliveries in certain areas will only be possible once the lockdown period ends in the country. As you might know already, the Indian government has extended the lockdown period in the country by two weeks from May 4th.
While e-commerce websites are now allowed to deliver non-essential items, including smartphones, in areas marked as green or orange zones, if you are from any metropolitan city, you might have to wait for a long time before you can buy these phones.

WhatsApp to Soon Get Fingerprint Authentication on Android: Report

HIGHLIGHTS Fingerprint authentication will be required for users to open WhatsApp The new WhatsApp feature is current under development It will protect the entire WhatsApp app and not specific conversations WhatsApp is reportedly working on a fingerprint authentication feature to protect its users' chats from being seen by others. The authentication, once enabled, will be required for users to open the app. The Facebook-owned instant messaging service was recently reported to bring a similar feature to iPhone as well, supporting two biometric authentication methods - both Face ID and Touch ID. It appears this won't be limited to iPhone, and users on Android will get fingerprint authentication, but no facial recognition based authentication, thanks to the lack of a widely used standard on the platform. According to WABetaInfo, a fan site that tests new WhatsApp features early, the feature is current under development, and disabled by default in the...

Huawei Employee Reportedly Reveals Android P Name, And It’s Not What You Think

It’s that time of the year when the world speculates on which dessert will be used as the name for the next Android version. While there have been several easter eggs and hints about Android P’s official name, there’s no clarity on what it might actually be called. According a report by Tabeltowo , a Huawei employee might have just leaked the full name of Android P as Android Pistachio. During a live chat with a customer, the Huawei support staff clearly said Android Pistachio in relation to a query about software updates in Poland, as seen in the image below: While simply Pistachio might not make sense to most people, considering the fact that Google is known for naming its Android version after desserts, a previous report might help. Back in February, Bloomberg had reported that Android P would be called Android Pistachio Ice Cream which makes more sense than just Pistachio. But we are sure you have other P-themed desserts in mind for...
