A renowned tipster, Evan Blass, has provided enthusiasts with an early look at the design and colour choices of the Samsung Galaxy M35, ahead of its highly anticipated debut in the Indian market. The smartphone is set to arrive in three distinct colour variations – grey, light blue, and dark blue, which show striking similarities with the Galaxy A35, suggesting a possible rebranding strategy by Samsung.

The leaked image showcases the Galaxy M35 with a vertically aligned triple rear camera setup, positioned at the top left corner alongside an LED flash integrated into what appears to be a plastic back. The Galaxy M35 introduces a sleeker and more modern look with a hole punch selfie camera cutout, departing from the water drop style notch seen on its predecessor.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy M35 is expected to boast a substantial 6000mAh battery capacity, surpassing its counterpart, the Galaxy A35, which contains 5000mAh. This enhancement in battery power indicates Samsung’s commitment to delivering extended usage durations for its consumers. 

Moreover, specific specifications are yet to be confirmed by Samsung, but reports suggest that the Galaxy M35 could feature a 6.6-inch display and run on an Exynos 1380 chipset paired with 6 GB of RAM, ensuring seamless performance for users across various tasks and applications. 

Despite bearing a resemblance to the Galaxy A35, the leaked image also highlights subtle differences between the two models, notably in the design of the volume and power buttons, as well as the location of the SIM tray. Such nuances indicate the potential distinction in user experience and functionality between the two devices.

As excitement grows for the upcoming release of the Samsung Galaxy M35, fans and tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for more information from the company about the phone’s specifications, price, and when it will be available. Stay tuned for more updates in the days or weeks leading up to the official unveiling of the Galaxy M35.

Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook (Meta), is celebrating his 40^th birthday on May 14. Zuckerberg, one of the most influential figures in the tech industry, has had a major impact on how people connect and communicate with each other all over the world.

At 40, Zuckierberg continues to lead Facebook and its parent company, Meta, towards new technological frontiers. Born on May 14, 1984, Zuckerberg has grown from a Harvard dropout into a billionaire philanthropist, owning many tech ventures over the years. He started Facebook in 2004 and took it public in 2012.

In 2021 the social media platform changed its name to Meta to shift the company’s focus to the metaverse. Under his leadership, Facebook has grown into a global platform with over 2.8 billion active users. Apart from this, he has also expanded his influence through the Chan Zuckerberg initiative, which is run by Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan and focuses on philanthropy in health, education, and scientific research with an investment of 99% of the couple’s wealth over their lifetime.

There has been a rise in the net worth of Mark Zuckerberg over the last few years. According to Forbes, his net worth stands at $177 billion, which makes him the 4^th richest man in the world. Since Facebook (now Meta) acquired WhatsApp in 2014 for $19 billion, Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has grown significantly.

In 2014 his net worth was approximately $26.1billion, which now stands at around $177 billion, which reflects a substantial increase in the net worth due to Meta’s expanding business and strategic acquisitions over the year.

Before Zuckerberg turned 40, he gifted himself a brand-new superyacht, Launchpad in March 2024. According to reports, Zuckerberg purchased $59 million worth of waterfront property on Lake Tahoe in California in 2019. He spends his money on luxury vehicles and owns a Acura TSX, a Honda Fit, and a black Volkswagon Golf GTI.

Microsoft announced at the Bloomberg Technology Summit that it will be launching a new Xbox mobile game store on the web later in July this year, becoming a challenger to the established app stores of Google and Apple. Microsoft provides users with an alternative platform for purchasing mobile games.

The Xbox President Sarah Bond at the Bloomberg Technology Summit announced that the store will initially feature Microsoft’s own games like Candy Crush Saga, with plans to add more games from different publishers. She also added that the store will be launched as a web-based store first to ensure accessibility on any device, in any country, free from the constraints imposed by the closed ecosystem of other app stores. This move will also allow Microsoft to bypass the hefty commission fees implied by Google and Apple stores, which sometimes amount to up to 30 percent.

Now, the interesting thing is to see what type of discounts Microsoft is planning to offer to the gamers, who will purchase and download it from its web store, while the majority of games are already available on the other stores. Sarah Bond also said Microsoft will extend beyond the web in the future, which means the company is planning to launch an App Store to challenge the Apple App Store and Google’s Play Store.

The dominance of Apple and Google in the app store market, where they levy a standard fee of around 30 percent on the sales, is an important issue for the game developers.

The Microsoft gaming chief Phil Spencer, indicated in late 2023 that the company was looking for partnerships to launch the Xbox app store, which is now easy to find by the European Union’s Digital Markets Act, which allows the tech companies to establish their direct contact to consumer web stores and bypass the fees charged by the Apple and Google, providing a significant boost to Microsoft Xbox app store.
