Common pain medications can also cause heart attacks and strokes, research shows

The US and Chinese experts have discovered in a joint study that certain painkillers can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and even stroke because they contain sodium.

Top of the list is paracetamol, which contains a significant amount of sodium to make it instantly soluble in water.

The most important component of salt is sodium which is very important for our health. But if the amount of sodium in the body is too much, instead of making us healthy, this sodium can also make us suffer from diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.

According to the World Health Organization, no more than 2000 milligrams (half a teaspoon) of sodium should reach our body in a day, while the American Heart Association has set a lower limit of 1500 milligrams) of sodium should reach our body in a day.

With this limit in mind, experts found that each 500 mg tablet of paracetamol (acetaminophen) contained about 400 mg of sodium.

It is one of the most widely used painkillers in the world and is available at almost every medical store.

This means that people who take just two tablets of paracetamol a day are adding 800 milligrams of sodium to their diet, which can be detrimental to their health in the long run.

But is that really possible? To find out, they searched an extensive British public health database.

Of this, detailed health data for about 300,000 British citizens aged 60 or over, covering a year, was taken.

All of these seniors were those who used paracetamol daily. About half of them were without sodium, while the rest were taking sodium paracetamol.

Elderly people who used sodium paracetamol daily had a slightly higher risk of disease and death over the next year than others, such as hypertension, heart attack and stroke.

The relationship between sodium intake and heart disease is so obvious that it cannot be ignored.

Because the study was based on data from no direct observations, experts are unable to say exactly how the excess sodium affected their health. Will be.

Experts in the study, published in the latest issue of the European Heart Journal, have called for further study.

However, he also warned that pharmaceutical companies would not write anything on the label about the amount of sodium in their products.

Experts urge both pharmaceutical companies and physicians to inform patients about the presence and extent of sodium in medicines as this is an important aspect that should not be overlooked in the light of current information.

Motorola Edge 30 Pro With Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC Launched in India

Motorola has used the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC to provide processing power to the Motorola Edge 30 Pro in India. 

This processor has been specially designed for 5G platform. It is a powerful processor. However, 5G is not available in India. Will the Indian smartphone users pay extra to use their phones in 4G platform? 

Will X65 5G modem-RF System can utilize the full power of 4G network?

The processor has Qualcomm’s 7th Generation powerful AI Engine. This powerful engine will intelligently use the system resources for gaming, wellness, photography and productivity. 

Processor’s 18-bit always on ISP take brilliant and stunning pictures with incredible color and clarity.

Motorola has used a 6.7-inch, full-HD+ OLED display. The display has a fast 144 refresh rate. 

The front of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro sports a 6.7-inch, full-HD+ OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It is HDR10+ certified and also uses DC dimming.

It packs a 4,800mAh battery and supports 68W fast charging



Before I proceed, let’s discuss its price. Motorola has launched the Edge 30 Pro at Rs. 49,999 in India for the lone 8GB RAM, 128GB storage configuration.

This is currently Motorola’s most expensive smartphone in India, and it is clear that the Motorola Edge 30 Pro is an ambitious launch for the company. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro looks premium thanks to its glass sandwich design, but there is a catch. Motorola has used a plastic frame for the Edge 30 Pro, which seems out of place. Metal would have made the phone even heavier, though. At 196g, the Edge 30 Pro already has a noticeable heft.

Motorola has curved the sides of the rear glass which helps you grip the phone better. The camera module blends into the back panel and looks like it has melted on the sides. As a result, this device doesn’t rock about much when placed on a flat surface. The Motorola logo is placed in the centre on the back, and has a glossy finish that helps it stand out.

The Edge 30 Pro has a curved glass back which makes it comfortable to hold
 

The front of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro sports a 6.7-inch, full-HD+ OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It is HDR10+ certified and also uses DC dimming. 

The panel has thin borders and a small hole for the 60-megapixel selfie camera. This sensor resolution is among the highest I’ve seen on a smartphone yet for a front camera. Motorola has opted for Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the front which is surprising since the back uses Corning Gorilla Glass 5. There are stereo speakers on the Edge 30 Pro, and the body is IP52 rated to resist light splashes of water.

The Motorola Edge 30 Pro’s fingerprint scanner is embedded into the power button on the right side. I found the position to be higher than ideal for my hands. I would have preferred an in-display fingerprint scanner since that’s the norm for flagship smartphones these days. The volume buttons are further up and require you to shuffle the phone around a bit in order to reach them.

You get Android 12 with Motorola’s My UX customisations on the Edge 30 Pro

 

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC powering the Edge 30 Pro is the most powerful smartphone SoC from Qualcomm yet. It will also be powering the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series in India. The Edge 30 Pro can work with 13 5G bands as well as 4G VoLTE. It houses a 4,800mAh battery, and supports 68W fast charging. Motorola has also bundled a 68W charger in the box.

During my short time with the Motorola Edge 30 Pro, it felt super responsive and the high display refresh rate made the overall experience feel fluid. You get Android 12 out of the box, with Motorola’s My UX customisations on top. The company also promises to update the phone till Android 14 which is decent, but is still not as good as the four-year commitment Samsung recently made for its Galaxy S22 series.



The Motorola Edge 30 Pro sports a triple camera setup at the back

 

The Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a triple camera setup with high-resolution sensors. The primary camera has a 50-megapixel sensor, OIS, and omni-directional PDAF. There’s also a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with a 114-degree field of view, and the third one is a 2-megapixel depth sensor. I am looking forward to putting these cameras to the test in the full review.

Motorola has launched the Edge 30 Pro priced at Rs. 49,999 in India. This will undercut the Samsung Galaxy S22 and also the iQoo 9 Pro by a big margin. The price is on par with that of the Asus ROG Phone 5s gaming smartphone, which is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 888+. Those looking for the best performance at a reasonable price should find the Edge 30 Pro quite promising, and from what I can tell, Motorola hasn’t cut too many corners. However, I’ll know for sure once I’m done testing the gaming performance, cameras, and software. I’ll also be seeing how well the battery holds up with regular use in the full review, so stay tuned to Gadgets 360.

The POCO F4 GT is about to conquer the world market – A smartphone for gamers

Xiaomi presented the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition in China, so we have to wait for its global premiere. And as was the case with the gaming variant Redmi K40, we will be dealing with a name change again, this time to POCO F4 GT.

The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has sold out like hot cakes, because it cannot be described otherwise. After its premiere in China, 70,000 copies of this smartphone were sold in the first flash sale, generating a revenue of $ 54 million. It can be expected that the smartphone outside China will earn even more, although we will have to look for it on the shelves under a changed name. This, however, should not surprise anyone, the same thing happened with the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition.

The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will debut on the global market as the POCO F4 GT

Confirmation of this was found in the Mi code by the Xiaomiui service . According to their findings, in India, and then all over the world, the new gaming Redmi K50 will be known as POCO F4 GT. Taking into account the words of the head of POCO India, according to which the successor of the F3 GT will cost less than 50,000 rupees , it may turn out that the new POCO will be the cheapest smartphone powered by via SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the world. These are, of course, only assumptions that will be confirmed during the official premiere. Its date is not known to us yet, although we expect it to happen soon. We also do not know if the device will eventually come to Poland as well.

It is worth waiting for the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition / POCO F4 GT, because Xiaomi has equipped this model really well. This is not surprising, because it was created mainly for mobile players. the latest processor from Qualcomm is supported by 8 or 12 GB of LPPDDR5 RAM and 128 or 256 GB of memory for UFS 3.1 data. The battery has a capacity of 4700 mAh, but supports record-fast charging with a power of 120W.

The OLED screen has a diagonal of 6.67 inches, Full HD + resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It is protected against scratches and damage by Gorilla Glass Victus. As we could have expected, in terms of photography, the Redmi K50 GE does not impress us, because the triple configuration consists of the main sensor 64 Mpix (Sony IMX686, f / 1.65), wide-angle 8 Mpix (119 °, f / 2.2) and 2 Mpix telemacro .

THE NEW EDITION OF REDMI 10, OR REDMI 10 2022

It has barely flashed in leaks, and there is already a new edition of the popular Redmi model , the Redmi 10 2022 . What’s the specification?

Redmi 10 2022 does not differ in appearance from the previous model, and it is difficult to notice any changes in the specifications. Therefore, only the color of the housing may turn out to be a novelty. But since I mentioned this model, let’s take a look at what it offers.

Comparing the specifications of Redmi 10 and Redmi 10 2022 we will not notice any differences, in both, we have 6.5-inch Full HD + displays with 90 Hz refresh, MediaTek Helio G88 processors, and 5000 mAh batteries with 18 W power.

For Selfie, it has 8-megapixel cameras in screen holes, and on the back, we have sets of cameras 50 + 8 + 2 + 2 Mpx. Redmi 10 2022 received 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64 or 128 GB of memory for eMMC data. It is possible that, like the predecessor, there will be a variant with 6 GB RAM … We do not know the prices yet, we also have no idea what was the purpose of introducing Redmi 10 2022.

State funds are therefore to be used to support start-ups and university projects in the implementation and research of the new operating system. According to the project plan, 300 billion US dollars are to be turned over by the electronics industry by 2026 – currently sales are 75 billion dollars.


The government sees the new operating system as a door opener to playing at the top of the international electronics market. The Indian government up to the prime minister is also hoping for more foreign investment. “For the first time, investors and public markets are funding and investing in the technology sector,” said the minister.

China is already planning its own operating system for Huawei

The Indian operating system is not the first attempt to break the market power of Silicon Valley. Many mobile phone users still remember the failed Blackberry and Windows Phone operating systems.

In view of diplomatic tensions, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi also want to become independent of American operating systems. Huawei already uses a Linux-based Android adaptation and bans Google apps on its devices.

OnePlus Nord 2T: New mid-range cell phone gets features from the OnePlus 10 Pro

OnePlus recently presented its new high-end smartphone in China, which should also find its way to Germany in the foreseeable future. With the OnePlus Nord 2T, however, a mid-range smartphone has already been announced that directly takes over one of the best functions of the OnePlus 10 Pro.

OnePlus Nord 2T can be charged quickly with 80 watts
OnePlus smartphones are known for being able to charge quickly. The Chinese company recognized the trend early on and developed its own technologies so that Android smartphones can be charged quickly and safely. The OnePlus 10 Pro introduced the 80-watt fast charging function via cable . However, this will not be exclusive to the new top smartphone for long. The OnePlus Nord 2T will also adopt them.

Basically, the OnePlus Nord 2T will be more of a minor upgrade compared to the OnePlus Nord 2. However, there will still be improvements, including the OnePlus 10 Pro’s 80-watt fast charging function. With this, the 4,500 mAh battery will be fully charged in no time. The power supply should even be included in the scope of delivery. Otherwise there should be a more up-to-date processor with the MediaTek Dimensity 1300. So we can expect a little more performance.

Otherwise, it stays with the proven equipment with the 6.43-inch 90 Hz display. In our opinion, OnePlus should have upgraded to a 120 Hz display here. At an expected price of 400 euros, you would expect a little more. The camera and the other equipment should not do that much either. That’s why it’s a station wagon and not a completely new generation. It was only screwed in a few small places. The presentation is expected first in India in February. The predecessor is currently being sold very cheaply on Amazon.
