Zara Noor Abbas’ important statement regarding feminism

by
Zara

Zara Noor Abbas has raised a big concern by questioning why only women are encouraged to take time from work when their coworkers learn they are expecting, whereas fathers-to-be are treated differently.

Her questions, unsurprisingly, sparked an impromptu but much-needed conversation. Zara held a quick Q&A session with her fans on Instagram, in which she expressed her anxiety.

“Quick question! Why are working women asked to take steps back when they announce a pregnancy in the corporate/work world and why are men never questioned for their credibility or their enthusiasm about work when they plan a family?”, the 30-year-old questioned.

Paternity leave for fathers was mentioned. The Senate has already enacted a bill allowing employees to take paternity leave, and Abbas is right that men should make use of it.

The varied range of responses she received represented where we as a society stand in Pakistan.

The majority were divided over the patriarchal society’s double standards, while others defended the old school belied system, claiming that women require complete relaxation and thus should not work at all.

Because parenthood is a “joint responsibility,” a user remarked that males should be permitted an extended paternity leave “to help out.” “Probably because some men don’t want to take equal responsibility that comes with parenting,” another user said why males aren’t subjected to the same cultural demands as women.

Abbas’ performance in Phaans has gotten her a lot of acclaim at work.

Samsung Galaxy A03s coming soon with thumbprint security

by
Samsung Galaxy A03s

The Samsung Galaxy A02s was released last year, and the company will shortly release a new entry-level phone. In May, prototype-based product mockups of the anticipated Samsung Galaxy A03s were leaked. And it’s now been certified, indicating that it’ll be released soon.

Under the model designation SM-A037F, the Samsung Galaxy A03s is openly listed on the Bluetooth SIG database. It doesn’t contain any system information because it’s a connectivity certification.

The A03s’ model number and Bluetooth 5.0 capabilities are confirmed in the documentation. Because ‘s’ variants are often more expensive, the Galaxy A03s has a higher-end feature sheet than the Galaxy A03.

We also know that the Samsung Galaxy A03s has a 6.5-inch IPS LCD with a 720P resolution. A notch seeps into the display, housing a 5MP selfie camera. It’s encircled with a medium-weight bezel.

Previously, Samsung’s entry-level devices lacked fingerprint security, but that is no longer the case with the Galaxy A03s. It’s the first A0x model to include the feature at a Samsung-friendly price. The scanner and the power button have been combined. Another long-overdue change is the USB interface, which now employs a modern USB-C port rather than the out-of-date MicroUSB port.

A triple camera is installed on a rectangular plate on the rear of the Galaxy A03s. For portrait and macro images, we’re looking at a standard setup with a 13MP wide sensor and two low-res 2MP sensors. So far, no internal specifications or pricing information has surfaced.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE to launch with Exynos chipsets

by
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

Due to a scarcity of chips, Samsung has reportedly delayed the debut of the Galaxy S21 FE until the fourth quarter of the year. The phone was slated to ship with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 CPUs that were in short supply, but sources in South Korea say that might change.

According to a South Korean business newspaper, the Galaxy S21 FE would be available in Europe and North America with Samsung’s Exynos chipsets.

Due to a supply shortage, Samsung has been struggling to release new phones with flagship processors. As a result, the Galaxy Note series for 2021 has been cancelled entirely. Still, it appears that Samsung does not want to follow it up with yet another high-profile product cancellation, so a chipset swap for the Galaxy S21 FE makes sense.

Apart from that, Samsung is no stranger to multiple chipsets for different markets; the Galaxy S series has been debuting with Qualcomm and Exynos platforms simultaneously for the better part of a decade.
