Xiaomi 12 delivers Xiaomi’s most colorful smartphone display to date, with more than 68 billion colors on 6.28-inch full-HD+ displays. Both feature 120Hz AdaptiveSync, for an impressively high-definition, vibrant, and flicker-free display that conveys every detail.

Direct Karachi-Tashkent Flights to Boost Pakistan-Uzbekistan Connectivity from September 3

Islamabad Special report: Pakistan and Uzbekistan are set to enter a new phase of air connectivity as Uzbekistan’s Centrum Air has announced the launch of direct scheduled flights between Karachi and Tashkent from September 3, 2026, a move expected to significantly enhance trade, tourism, investment, and people-to-people contacts between the two countries.

According to the airline, the new route will operate twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday, providing travelers with a convenient non-stop connection between Pakistan’s largest commercial hub and the Uzbek capital. The service will also offer seamless onward connections via Tashkent to destinations across Central Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Industry experts believe the direct air link will facilitate stronger economic cooperation by making business travel easier, reducing travel time, and improving access to emerging Central Asian markets. The route is expected to benefit exporters, importers, investors, tourists, students, and members of the Pakistani and Uzbek business communities while supporting growing bilateral trade and commercial engagement.

The launch is particularly significant because regular direct scheduled flights between Karachi and Tashkent have not been available in recent years, with most passengers previously relying on connecting flights through hubs such as Dubai, Istanbul, or other regional gateways. The new service is expected to offer a faster and more convenient travel option for passengers.

The Karachi route follows Centrum Air’s earlier expansion into Pakistan with direct flights between Tashkent and Lahore, reflecting the airline’s growing presence in the Pakistani market and the strengthening diplomatic and economic ties between Islamabad and Tashkent.

Uzbekistan remains one of Central Asia’s most attractive tourism destinations, renowned for its Silk Road heritage, the historic cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, the Centre for Islamic Civilization in Tashkent, and the Imam Al-Bukhari Memorial Complex near Samarkand. The new direct service is expected to encourage greater cultural exchanges and tourism while further strengthening bilateral relations between the two friendly countries.

Jazz Upgrades Network with Nokia

Jazz Upgrades Network with Nokia

Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital connectivity company under JazzWorld, has successfully completed a major upgrade of its mobile network in partnership with Nokia. The project is an important step in Jazz’s plan to modernize its network and prepare for future technologies.

One of the biggest achievements of this upgrade is that the entire migration was completed without any interruption to customer services. Millions of Jazz users across Pakistan continued to make calls, use mobile internet, and access digital services without noticing any disruption during the transition.

This smooth migration highlights Jazz’s technical expertise and its focus on providing reliable, secure, and uninterrupted services to its customers.

The project involved upgrading Jazz’s Subscriber Data Management (SDM) platform.

Subscriber Data Management is one of the most important parts of a mobile network. It stores and manages important customer information such as SIM details, mobile subscriptions, authentication data, network permissions, and other account information that allows users to connect to the network.

Every time a customer makes a phone call, sends a text message, or connects to mobile internet, the Subscriber Data Management system helps verify the user’s identity and allows access to network services.

Previously, Jazz was using older subscriber management systems.

With this latest upgrade, those older systems have now been replaced with Nokia’s cloud-native Subscriber Data Layer (SDL), which is installed on Jazz’s own infrastructure.

The new platform is designed to be much faster, more flexible, and easier to expand as the number of customers and digital services continues to grow.

One of the biggest improvements is that Jazz has combined its older HLR (Home Location Register) and HSS (Home Subscriber Server) systems into one modern platform.

These systems are responsible for storing subscriber information and helping mobile users connect to the network.

Instead of managing multiple separate systems, Jazz now has a unified database that simplifies network operations and improves overall efficiency.

According to the company, this new architecture removes many of the limitations of older technology and creates a more agile network that can adapt more quickly to changing customer needs.

The modern platform is also more resilient, meaning it can continue operating smoothly even if individual components experience technical issues.

This improves network stability and reduces the chances of service interruptions.

Speaking about the achievement, Khalid Shehzad, Chief Technology Officer at JazzWorld, said the successful virtualization of the Subscriber Data Management platform is a major milestone in Jazz’s journey toward becoming a fully cloud-native network.

He explained that modernizing this important part of the company’s core infrastructure will strengthen the network, improve operational efficiency, and provide a strong foundation for future technologies.

According to him, working together with Nokia allows Jazz to build a smarter and more advanced network that supports faster innovation while delivering better digital experiences to customers.

He added that the upgrade will help Jazz continue introducing new digital services more quickly and improve the quality of existing mobile services.

Nokia also welcomed the successful completion of the project.

Hatem El Harairi, Vice President and Head of Middle East and Africa Services for Mobile Infrastructure at Nokia, said the project demonstrates Nokia’s role as a trusted technology partner supporting modern communication networks.

He said Nokia is helping Jazz build a stronger and more intelligent network that is ready for the growing demands of the digital and artificial intelligence era.

According to him, the new infrastructure improves network performance, increases reliability, and creates greater flexibility for future innovation.

As more people use smartphones, cloud services, online banking, digital payments, video streaming, artificial intelligence applications, and other internet-based services, telecom companies need stronger and more advanced network infrastructure.

Modernizing core network systems allows companies like Jazz to handle larger amounts of data, support more connected devices, and launch new digital services more efficiently.

The upgrade also improves operational efficiency by reducing the complexity of managing older network systems.

A cloud-native network allows software updates, maintenance, and new service deployment to happen more quickly and with less disruption.

This helps telecom operators respond faster to changing customer needs and technological developments.

Jazz says the project is part of its long-term investment in next-generation technologies that will support Pakistan’s digital future.

The company believes stronger network infrastructure will improve customer experiences, increase service reliability, and support the country’s rapidly growing digital economy.

The successful completion of the Subscriber Data Management virtualization project also strengthens the long-standing partnership between Jazz and Nokia.

The two companies have worked together on several technology projects over the years, and this latest achievement reflects their shared commitment to advancing Pakistan’s telecommunications sector.

By continuing to invest in modern cloud-based technologies, Jazz aims to build a network that is more secure, scalable, and ready for future innovations such as advanced artificial intelligence services, next-generation mobile networks, and the increasing demand for digital connectivity.

Overall, the successful network upgrade marks another important milestone in Jazz’s digital transformation journey. With a modern cloud-native infrastructure, improved subscriber management systems, and stronger collaboration with Nokia, Jazz is positioning itself to deliver faster, more reliable, and more innovative digital services while supporting Pakistan’s transition toward a smarter and more connected future

Vivo Y6c 4G Launched

Vivo has officially launched the Vivo Y6c 4G in China. The new smartphone is an affordable option for users who want a large battery, smooth display, and modern features without spending a lot of money.

The phone is currently available for purchase in mainland China. At launch, Vivo is offering only one storage version with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The price is 899 Chinese Yuan, which is around $130.

The Vivo Y6c 4G is designed mainly for everyday users who need a reliable smartphone for calling, messaging, browsing the internet, watching videos, and using social media.

The phone comes with a 6.74-inch LCD display, giving users a large screen for entertainment and daily use. Whether you are watching YouTube videos, scrolling through Facebook or TikTok, or reading articles, the big display provides a comfortable viewing experience.

At the top of the screen, there is a waterdrop notch that houses the front camera. This design keeps the bezels fairly slim while providing enough space for the selfie camera.

The display has a 1600 × 720 pixel HD+ resolution, which delivers clear images, readable text, and decent colors for daily activities.

One of the biggest highlights of the screen is its 120Hz refresh rate.

A higher refresh rate makes scrolling much smoother than standard 60Hz displays. Users will notice smoother animations while browsing social media, switching between apps, and navigating the phone.

The display can also reach up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness, making it easier to view the screen outdoors in bright sunlight.

To help protect users’ eyes, Vivo has included TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification, which reduces harmful blue light and can make the display more comfortable during long periods of use.

The Vivo Y6c 4G is also built to be more durable than many budget smartphones.

It has received SGS Five-Star Drop and Impact Resistance Certification, showing that it has been tested for better protection against accidental drops and impacts.

The phone also carries an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against dust and light water splashes. While it should not be submerged in water, it can handle everyday situations such as light rain or accidental splashes.

For security, Vivo has included a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. This allows users to unlock the phone quickly and securely by simply placing a finger on the power button.

Another interesting feature is the phone’s 150 percent boosted speaker volume. This makes calls, music, and videos louder, which can be especially useful in noisy environments.

The phone also includes an infrared (IR) blaster, allowing users to control compatible electronic devices such as televisions, air conditioners, projectors, and other home appliances directly from the smartphone.

According to Vivo, the infrared remote supports more than 3,000 different appliance models, making it a useful feature for many households.

The Vivo Y6c 4G is available in three attractive color options.

Customers can choose from Muyue Black, Liuyun White, and Xiaguang Blue.

Inside the phone, Vivo uses the Unisoc T7225 processor.

This chipset is built using a 12nm manufacturing process and is designed for everyday smartphone performance.

The processor features an octa-core CPU, including two Cortex-A75 performance cores and six Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores, with clock speeds reaching up to 1.8GHz.

Graphics processing is handled by the ARM Mali-G57 GPU, which is capable of running everyday applications, casual games, and multimedia content smoothly.

Fake X Login Emails Target Users

ASad Flare

Cybercriminals are sending fake security emails that look almost exactly like official login alerts from X (formerly Twitter). These emails are designed to trick users into revealing their account details, allowing scammers to steal their X accounts.

Because these fake emails closely copy the design and style of real X notifications, many people may not realize they are scams. Cybersecurity experts are warning users to be extra careful and always verify security alerts before clicking any links.

The scam begins with an email that claims someone has logged into the user’s X account from a new device or an unfamiliar location.

For example, the email may say that someone signed into the account using Firefox on a Mac computer from Arizona, even though the actual account owner may live somewhere completely different, such as London or another country.

The message is designed to create fear and urgency.

It usually tells users that if they do not recognize the login, they should immediately change their password, review connected applications, and secure their account.

At first glance, the advice seems completely genuine because these are exactly the kinds of actions people should take if their account is truly at risk.

However, the biggest problem is not the advice itself.

The real danger lies in the links included inside the email.

Instead of directing users to the official X website, the links take them to fake websites created by scammers.

These fraudulent websites are made to look almost identical to the real X login page.

When users enter their username, password, or verification code, the information is sent directly to the scammers.

Once criminals obtain these login details, they can immediately take control of the victim’s account.

According to Jake Moore, Global Cybersecurity Adviser at ESET, the attackers are mainly trying to achieve one of two goals.

The first goal is to steal the user’s X username and password.

The second is to trick users into approving a malicious application or permission request that allows hackers to access the account even without knowing the password.

This second method can sometimes allow attackers to continue accessing the account even after the user changes their password.

One reason this scam is becoming more dangerous is because the fake emails are much more professional than older phishing attempts.

In the past, phishing emails often contained poor grammar, spelling mistakes, low-quality images, and strange formatting.

Today’s fake X emails are much harder to identify.

They include the official X logo, similar colors, matching layouts, and professionally written text.

Many users may believe the emails are genuine simply because they look authentic.

Despite their realistic appearance, there are still several warning signs that users should watch for.

Some fake emails do not include the user’s actual X username or account handle.

Others provide vague or unusual location information that may not make sense.

Cybersecurity experts say the most important thing to check is the sender’s email address.

Official emails from X are only sent from @X.com or @e.X.com email addresses.

If the sender’s address is different, contains extra words, unusual characters, or misspellings, the email is likely fake.

Another important step is checking where a link actually leads before clicking it.

On desktop computers, users can move the mouse pointer over a link without clicking it.

This usually shows the real website address at the bottom of the browser or email application.

If the link does not lead to the official X website, users should avoid clicking it.

On smartphones, hovering over links is not always possible.

Instead, experts recommend ignoring suspicious links completely and opening the official X app or typing X.com directly into the browser manually.

This ensures users are accessing the genuine website instead of a fake one.

X has also explained how it communicates with users.

According to the company, it never sends emails with file attachments.

It also never asks users to provide their password through email, direct messages, or replies.

If any email requests a password or asks users to verify their account through an unexpected link, it should be treated as suspicious.

The consequences of losing an X account can be serious.

Once scammers gain control of an account, they often use it to carry out additional fraud.

They may post fake cryptocurrency investment schemes, send phishing messages to followers, spread false information, or impersonate the account owner.

Friends, family members, customers, and followers may trust the hacked account and become victims themselves.

Attackers may also connect unauthorized third-party applications to the account.

These malicious apps can sometimes continue accessing the account even after the original password has been changed.

For this reason, simply changing the password may not always be enough.

Users should also review all connected applications and remove any they do not recognize.

Cybersecurity experts recommend several steps if someone receives a suspicious X login email.

The first and most important step is not to click any links inside the message.

Instead, users should open the official X application or manually visit X.com in their web browser.

From there, they can check their account security settings, recent login history, and connected applications.

This allows users to verify whether the security alert is genuine.

Jake Moore advises users not to panic when receiving unexpected login alerts.

Instead, they should always confirm the information directly inside the official X app or website before taking any action.

If someone only visited a suspicious website but did not enter their username, password, or verification code, they are generally considered to be safe.

However, if they entered any login information, immediate action is necessary.

Users should change their X password as quickly as possible.

They should also enable two-factor authentication (2FA), which adds an extra layer of security by requiring a verification code in addition to the password.

Finally, users should carefully review every third-party application connected to their X account and remove anything unfamiliar or suspicious.

Cybersecurity experts say phishing attacks are becoming more advanced every year.

Scammers are using professional-looking emails, realistic websites, and convincing messages to trick even experienced internet users.

The safest approach is to never trust unexpected login alerts sent by email without verifying them first.

Whenever users receive a message claiming someone has accessed their account, they should avoid clicking email links and instead check their account directly through the official X app or by typing X.com into their browser.

Following these simple precautions can greatly reduce the risk of losing access to an account and protect users from online fraud.

Freetown: ECOWAS Member States Endorse Nigeria-Morocco African Atlantic Gas Pipeline by Signing Intergovernmental Agreement

Freetown (Sierra Leone), 19/07/2026 – The Summit of Heads of State and Government of the member countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) hosted, Sunday in Freetown, the signing of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) governing the development of the Nigeria-Morocco African Atlantic Gas Pipeline (AAGP), a nearly 6,800 km energy infrastructure that will transport natural gas from Nigeria to Morocco, before connecting to the European gas network.

The signing marks the endorsement by the ECOWAS Member States of the Nigeria-Morocco African Atlantic Gas Pipeline, an initiative launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, and former Nigerian President, the late Muhammadu Buhari, with the continued support of current President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The project is being jointly developed by Morocco’s National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd).

The agreement paves the way for the next implementation phase, which will notably include the establishment of the Project Company, to be headquartered in Casablanca, as well as the Pipeline Higher Authority, whose headquarters are planned for Abuja, ahead of the mobilization of investors and the preparation of the Final Investment Decision (FID). The final stage will be marked by a dedicated ceremony to be held subsequently in the Kingdom of Morocco, during which the Kingdom of Morocco and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania will jointly sign the Agreement, in the presence of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Once completed, the Gas pipeline will cross thirteen countries along Africa’s Atlantic coast and connect to the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline in northern Morocco.

It will have a transport capacity of 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, of which up to 15 billion cubic meters could be exported to Morocco and Europe, with the remainder destined to supply regional markets.

Estimated at approximately $25 billion, the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline aims to establish an integrated regional natural gas market across West Africa, support electricity generation, industrialization, and the development of the continent’s natural resources. The commissioning of the first pipeline segments is expected at the beginning of the next decade. Launched as a joint strategic initiative between Morocco and Nigeria, the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline has now evolved into a project embraced by all of West Africa.

The ownership of the project by ECOWAS member States strengthens its political and institutional foundation, while reinforcing the founding impetus advanced by its two promoting countries, which believe that Africa’s energy security is a fundamental driver of sovereignty, industrialization, and shared prosperity. By formalizing the collective endorsement of ECOWAS member States, the Freetown Summit confirms the African scope of this initiative and its central role in the Continent’s integration policies.

ONHYM and NNPC Ltd announce that the main engineering, environmental, and technical studies have now been completed, enabling the project to gradually enter its operational development phase following the signing of this Agreement in Rabat by Morocco and Mauritania.

Beyond its energy dimension, the infrastructure is intended to serve as a true development corridor connecting African economies, thereby strengthening their integration and competitiveness.
