With the company’s upcoming iQOO 12 smartphone, the company is doing things slightly differently by focusing on its camera department. The iQOO 12 smartphone is scheduled to launch in India on December 12, making it the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered smartphone to arrive in India. <div type="javascript" title="Reels-Instagram" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="iQOO 12 camera specifications" comment="subhead" text="iQOO 12 camera specifications"><keyword id="19669825" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="iqoo-12-camera" source="Orion">iQOO 12 camera</keyword> specifications</cmsannotation> The <keyword id="19422413" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="iqoo-12-features" source="Orion">iQOO 12 features</keyword> a triple camera setup at the back, consisting of a 50MP primary camera with PDAF and OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. Ahead of the launch, I got my hands on the iQOO 12 and captured a few images. Here are some of the images captured with the device. The smartphone also comes with an astrophotography mode, allowing you to capture Astro shots without the need of a tripod. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Daylight" comment="subhead" text="Daylight">Daylight</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Image 1" msid="105628493" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured in daylight conditions&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The iQOO 12 performs really well when it comes to clicking images in daylight conditions. The device is able to capture images with good details and colour reproduction. The device was able to capture images with good highlight retention, and was able to focus on the subject very quickly. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Portrait images" comment="subhead" text="Portrait images">Portrait images</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Image 2" msid="105628543" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The device offers good portrait images&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I often find myself shifting to the portrait mode while capturing images and my experience with iQOO 12 was no different. The portrait images captured with the smartphone turned out well, with good edge detection and background blur effect. You can adjust the blur effect on the device, which is good, offering you more control over your images. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Telephoto" comment="subhead" text="Telephoto">Telephoto</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="1" msid="105628573" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured in 3x, 10x and 100x&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The smartphone comes with a 64MP periscope telephoto camera, which is able to capture decent telephoto images. As the device supports 3x optical zoom, you will have no issues at all with capturing images in 3x. Even images captured in 10x offered decent details, with minimal noise. When you go to 30x, the images start losing detail and are grainy. The 100x mode is good for identifying objects but loses out on detail. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Low light photography" comment="subhead" text="Low light photography">Low light photography</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Image 4" msid="105628603" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured in lowlight conditions&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The iQOO 12 continues to perform well when it comes to low light photography. The device is able to capture good images even in low light conditions, offering good details with minimal noise.

While <keyword id="19924483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="KKR" source="keywords">KKR</keyword> finished the league engagements on 20 points with nine wins and two more solitary points courtesy wash-outs, <keyword id="21035867" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="SRH" source="keywords">SRH</keyword> (17 points) pipped RR (17 points) by virtue of better Net Run Rate (NRR). SRH finished with NRR of 0.414 compared to RR's 0.273. KKR will play Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first Qualifier in Ahmedabad on Tuesday followed by the 'Eliminator' between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the same venue. Rajasthan Royals would blame themselves for getting into a nice little rut after an incredible run during the first half of the tournament when they had won eight out of their nine games. But their campaign lost a bit of steam towards the back end as they lost four games on trot and with no Jos Buttler for crunch games, facing a marauding RCB in a winner-takes-all match could be a very tough proposition. On the other hand, SRH, a team that redefined power-hitting with optimum use of 'Impact Sub', had one of their best chases on Sunday, albeit on a track that once again resembled a highway in terms of its placid quotient. The chase of 215 against a depleted Punjab Kings with five balls to spare also bolstered their NRR just when it was needed.

"Earlier, departure date for first batch was May 21 but since India is playing only one warm-up game (vs Bangladesh on June 1), the players will get to spend some extra days at home," the source added. Only those players who are part of the IPL final will stay back and will leave for New York on May 27. This will also give adequate time to the squad to reduce jet lag and have at least three to four quality net sessions before the Bangladesh warm-up game. India will open their campaign against Ireland on June 5 in New York, followed by the marquee clash against Pakistan on June 9.

Pandya received a one-match suspension, the same as Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishabh Pant received earlier in the season because this was the third time MI have been found guilty of the same offence. The five-time champions' ended their IPL campaign on Friday on a bitter note, which means Pandya will miss the team's first match of the next season. However in any case the the <keyword id="21158687" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="MI-skipper" source="keywords">MI skipper</keyword> moves to another team in the IPL 2025, the all-rounder will miss that particular team's opening game. This was MI's third offence to fall short of maintaining the minimum over rate. In addition to the one-match suspension, Hardik was fined Rs 30 lakh, while the Impact Player and the other members of the playing XII were each fined INR 12 lakhs or 50 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever was lower. A statement by IPL read, "As it was his team's third offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to a minimum over-rate offences, Pandya was fined INR 30 lakh and banned from playing the team's next match." "The rest of the members of the playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either Rs 12 lakh or 50 per cent of their respective match fees," the IPL statement read." MI ended their season with an 18-run loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at their home Wankhede on Friday. It has been a disastrous season for the five-time champions, who managed just four wins from their 14 matches and finished at the bottom of the points table. Meanwhile, in just 14 IPL 2024 matches, Hardik amassed 216 runs, including a 46-run maximum. The all-rounder's season began to fall apart quite early on, with an average of just 18 and a strike rate of 143.05. Despite taking 11 wickets with the ball throughout the season, his economy rate was 10.75 and his average was 35.18.

MI skipper Hardik Pandya fined for maintaining slow over-rate, to miss first game of IPL 2025 season

Senior pacer <keyword id="19895336" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mohammed-shami" source="keywords">Mohammed Shami</keyword> has been ruled out of next month's <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword>n Premier League owing to a left ankle injury, for which he will undergo a surgery in the UK, a BCCI source told PTI on Thursday. The 33-year-old, who is not part of the ongoing Test series against England, last played for India in the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November. "<keyword id="19929077" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shami" source="keywords">Shami</keyword> was in London in last week of January to take special ankle injections and he was told that after three weeks, he can start light running and take it from thereon. "But the injection hasn't worked and now the only option left is surgery. He will shortly leave for UK for surgery. IPL seems out of question," a senior BCCI source said on the condition of anonymity. Shami, who was one of the architects of India's stupendous World Cup campaign with 24 wickets, played through pain as he had problems with his landing but didn't let it affect his performance. Shami, who was recently conferred with the Arjuna Award, has 229 Test, 195 ODI and 24 T20 wickets in his decade-long career. The development raises a question mark about the injury rehabilitation management programme planned by the National Cricket Academy (<keyword id="19901707" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nca" source="keywords">NCA</keyword>) for Shami. Now it is highly unlikely that the pace bowling artist would be able to make a comeback before India's Test matches at home against Bangladesh and New Zealand (October November). His target could be the marquee away series against Australia. People in the know of things believe that the NCA's conservative line of thinking has not worked in Shami's case. "Shami should have gone directly for surgery and that should have been NCA's call. Just two months of rest and injections wouldn't have worked well and that's what has happened. He is an asset and the Indian team would need him in Australia," the source said.

While the two top teams from the 70-match league round have enjoyed some time off courtesy incessant rains during their respective clashes over last 10 days, the lack of turnaround time to compete in a high-intensity playoff game will also pose a unique challenge. KKR and SRH will get only a day's time to traverse thousands of kilometres and get here for the first half of the playoffs as they both featured on the final day of the league round on Sunday. SRH would feel they have hit their strides following a comprehensive win over PBKS and having also got recent game-time, which isn't the case for KKR whose last complete game was on May 11. <keyword id="19904097" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shreyas-Iyer" source="keywords">Shreyas Iyer</keyword>'s KKR had won four games on the trot before rains washed away their last two league games and the two-time winners.

The washed out contest against RR in particular robbed KKR of an opportunity to give expected replacement Rahmanullah Gurbaz a go at the top with Narine, something that would have settled a few concerns certainly. For KKR, the form of Nitish Rana adds more solidity to the middle-order while a fiery Andre Russell among the finishers promise them vital runs. In many ways, SRH match KKR's firepower on paper and that is what adds more to the lure of this contest. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have both got their runs at a strike rate exceeding 200 while inspiring their side to rewrite a few records. Australian southpaw Head has in many ways redefined aggressiveness with the bat while also remaining successful (533 runs with one century and four fifties). His fearlessness has also brought the best out of the young Indian batter Abhishek (467), who has clobbered an overall 41 sixes this IPL - 10 more than his overall tally of 31 in the previous six seasons. SRH have also managed to find answers to a couple of questions which were lingering on for a while. At No 3, the 2016 winners have found a dependable option in Rahul Tripathi who can both accelerate as well as weather storms when bowlers are on-song. Additionally, Heinrich Klaasen has rediscovered his form after a dip in the middle of the tournament. With a crucial knock of 42 against PBKS, Klaasen has signalled having found his mojo back, which only makes SRH even more formidable. At Ahmedabad, as seen in the World Cup final last year, teams batting second have had more success, winning four out of six completed games while only twice the team which batted first could defend successfully. Also, against the style of play for both these teams - to bury oppositions under mountains of runs - this venue has had only two scores of 200 or above in 12 innings, which means the bowlers will also have their say. If KKR have a battery of spinners to back their fast bowlers led by Mitchell Starc, SRH's pace bowling attack led by skipper Pat Cummins has time and again produced unified efforts to make their mark. In their only meet earlier this season back in late March, KKR had pipped SRH by four runs in a high-scoring game.
