Samsung announced on its blog post that it would be rolling out with the ‘Samsung Access Plan’, a monthly premium upgrade program in the United States. The program is designed for users who purchase new Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, or Galaxy S20 Ultra phones.
Samsung Access has additional benefits from the previous legacy upgrade program, which includes a Premium Care membership, and a Premium Microsoft 365 subscription (that includes Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Skype, along with 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage).
Recently, Samsung confirmed a critical security flaw in the galaxy phones. Read the full story here:

Tensions flare in the United States after the uncalled death of George Floyd. Protests have been taking place around the country for six days, and this time, the corporate world has also spoken up! Nike, Adidas, Facebook, Netflix, Disney, and L’oreal are some of the brands that have supported the #BlackLivesMatter cause. These brands stand tall and condemn the racial injustice prevailing in America.
Companies like Nike have taken action swiftly by taking a much more public stance on racial profiling and police violence.
Here are the various brands that have joined the #BlackLivesMatter movement:
Nike
The sportswear giant has released a campaign, “For once, Don’t Do It,” playing smartly on its tagline, urging people to stand up in solidarity and stop racism.
Similar to Nike, L’oreal also made a play on their tagline saying: “Speaking Out Is Worth it!”
L’Oréal Paris stands in solidarity with the Black community, and against injustice of any kind. We are making a commitment to the @NAACP to support progress in the fight for justice. #BlackLivesMatterpic.twitter.com/4VDZUAdgXv
— L’Oréal Paris USA (@LOrealParisUSA) June 1, 2020
4. Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would be donating $10m to organizations that are working on racial justice.
5. HBO
HBO, TNT, and more WarnerMedia-owned divisions changed their Twitter usernames to “#BlackLivesMatter.”
“Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes one blind.” — James Baldwin
We stand with our Black colleagues, employees, fans, actors, storytellers — and all affected by senseless violence. #BlackLivesMatter
In a turn of events, Adidas has shared Nike’s message and urged people to bring out a change together. This is the first time the competitors are seen to be collaborating for a cause.
Ben & Jerry’s took to Twitter on 27 May, two days after George Floyd’s death, to share its “heartbreak” and express support for the Black Lives Matter movement. The ice-cream brand has previously stood against racial injustice four years ago, too, and believes things are just as relevant today.
4 years ago, in the wake of Ferguson, we felt compelled to support the #BlackLivesMatter movement. We’re heartbroken those words are just as relevant today. These racist and brutal attacks against our Black brothers and sisters must end. #JusticeForFloydhttps://t.co/7ngefmtqnu
June 2, 2020: Yesterday evening, Prime Minister Imran Khan announced that Pakistan would further ease the lockdown across the country.
Khan appealed to the nation to adopt the standard operating procedures (SOPs) and other precautionary measures the government has set in place to tackle the growing Corona concerns.
While addressing the nation after a meeting of the National Coordination Committee (NCC), Khan said:
I want to request all of you [the nation] to follow the SOPs we have outlined to prevent the spread of this virus. If we don’t take precautions then we will continue to suffer,
Khan warned as he announced that the government has decided to “open all the sectors” apart from those where the threat of “virus is still present.”
“The world has agreed, the richest countries have concluded that the virus will spread no matter what. Nothing can be done about it. The virus will spread, and our death toll will also rise […] I told you that from day one,” he said.
“I think that tourism should be revived because that sector provides jobs to many in GB and elsewhere,” he said.
“There are areas in our country [GB and KP] that can only be toured during the summer months. If we continue to impose lockdowns in those areas, the local people who rely on income from tourism to survive will starve,” Khan argued.
This announcement by the premiere resulted in a social media uproar as furious Pakistanis used hashtag #ImranKhan to express they’re displeased behind the decision.
Social Media Reacts to Imran Khan’s Decision to Open More Sectors in Pakistan Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic
The guy who used to instill hope in his followers is now talking hopeless specially when he’s leading a country. Feeling really disappointed in Imran Khan. #COVID19Pakistan#ImranKhan
People defending prime minister on his corona mismanagement even
Bhai nahi ata tha mulk chalana to ghar hi bethte na , no excuse is accepted

The number of total confirmed cases in Pakistan has now crossed 74,000 as the country braces itself for the upcoming days.
April 22, 2020: Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) doctors have urgently requested the government in a press conference to implement a countrywide lockdown with immediate effect.
Addressing the emergency briefing, Dr. Saad Niaz, a gastroenterologist at the Dow University of Health Sciences, said that it was necessary to remember the outbreak is foremost a health issue.
“This is a medical problem which [of course] has its resulting economic and social effects. But we need to understand that this is nonetheless primarily a medical issue.”
In the press conference, the doctors highlighted that the front medical liners are under extreme pressure, and there are no more beds and other resources available to cater to the growing numbers.
Moreover, they expressed their fears that if this continues, Pakistan’s condition will mirror Italy, where it will have to be decided who gets to live and who dies.
The DUHS doctor explained that the country’s current capacity had so far sustained the volume of patients “because due to a lockdown in place, they were only trickling in.”
“Projected figures stand at 70,000, and if even 10% of those are serious cases, we can’t even accommodate those. There are no ventilators.”
They also stressed that SOPs would not be implemented if there is a massive crowd of people in supermarkets, shops, and other public places.
Here’s the video of the conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSa5ZWYhIVg
They also appealed to ulemas to encourage praying from home to avoid spreading the virus. They added that other Muslim countries around the world had barred entry in mosques to prevent gatherings.
The doctors highlighted that the cases are increasing. Pakistan has already crossed 10,000 cases, and the numbers are growing every day at a rapid pace.
“From April 16 to April 21, we went from 6,772 patients to 9,464 patients, which is a near 40% increase […] an increase by 2,692 patients. If you count patients from February 25, we took time in reaching 2,000 patients,” – Dr. Niaz shared.
Dr. Abdul Bari, CEO of Indus Hospital, shared that doctors had vehemently protested against the decision of easing the lockdown that was announced on April 14.
“We thought that a lockdown of at least two incubation periods would take place, and that would show some positive signs,” he said.
This led to great anger and stress in the doctor community as they are the experts in this situation [and must be heard],” said Bari, adding: “All of Karachi’s medical facilities are now almost full to the brim with patients.”
“The Sindh government had taken perfect measures in the beginning.
“That has turned into a joke now. There are countless vehicles on the road […] We have gathered here to tell you we have no space in hospitals anymore,”
On the other hand, in another press conference, Dr. Zafar Mirza, the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health, told the nation that the upcoming weeks are very critical.
The next 2-3 weeks are very critical in Pakistan and will determine where the future of the country is heading.
“In the last 24 hours, we have received the highest number of deaths from COVID-19, 17, for the third time in Pakistan. The coming three to four weeks will be critical for Pakistan.” – Dr. Zafar Mirza Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health.
“We do not pay attention to the fact that communicable diseases are preventable,” he said. “Diseases spread despite efforts, but a lot of things are under our control, but since we don’t invest in it, we [ultimately] let diseases spread,” he added.
He said that guidelines are “notoriously neglected” in Pakistan. Dr. Mirza said that SOPs and protocols “are like words to us and not concepts.” “I think for the whole of the world, especially the developing world, the health sector will never be the same,”
There are a few notable points in the video that are stated below:
Shahroz and Syra separated in August 2019. The reason behind separation was not another woman; it was instead a personal matter that couldn’t be solved.
Shahroz said he challenges anybody who is accusing him of infidelity “to prove it!”
He further explained that after his separation from his ex-wife, Syra Yousuf, he met Sadaf Kanwal “at work.”
His last video was made when he and Syra were trying to work things out but unfortunately couldn’t solve matters and had to move forward towards a permanent separation.
He further added that he and Syra have had separated with utmost dignity by solving matters the right way.
He would like the media and everybody else to respect their decision and stop speaking ill about his family.

1st June 2020: Actor Shahroz Sabzwari finally tied the knot with model Sadaf Kanwal after calling it quits with his former wife, Syra Yousuf. The media was divided after the two announced their Nikkah. While some people sided with Syra Yousuf, others stated that the newly-weds should be left alone and wished them well.
The Controversy
Furthermore, people believed that supermodel Sadaf Kanwal was the reason behind their split. However, Sadaf Kanwal spoke up against the allegations put upon her.
Moreover, a video circulated on social media that showed the two were cycling together with masks on in what seems to be the city’s DHA area. In a video, Shahroz was leading while Sadaf followed in tow.
She claimed that they only met at an award show that was held in Oslo, Norway, where they performed together.
Confirming rumors that the two had been dating since Shahroz’s separation, the duo took Instagram to share pictures from their Nikkah ceremony – right after Sadaf changed her maiden name on Instagram from Sadaf Kanwal to Sadaf Sabzwari.
Shahroz, too, announced the marriage for his fans and followers on Instagram, as he posted pictures with the caption, “Alhamdulilah.”
It was an intimate ceremony with just the immediate family members, and the duo had a simple nikkah ceremony. However, right after the two made things official, it caused a twitter uproar.
Have a look at what some people had to say about the breaking news:
People even lauded Syra for keeping things hush the entire time.
Lets spare a minute to appreciate #Syra for showinh extreme grace and leavinh with dignity,she just announced and parted ways from this "DO TAKY KA MARD" in respected manner#SadafKanwalpic.twitter.com/sG2OSpreNd

It should be noted that people are giving their opinion on the news of Sadaf and Shehroz’s marriage on social media while a large number of people are sympathizing with Syra Yousuf.
The Sabzwari’s comments
The former couple Syra Yousuf and Shahroze Sabzwari parted ways in February over “irreconcilable differences.” The couple has a daughter Nooreh.
The two announced their separation after six months of being apart in December. Shahroz said he knew Sadaf Kanwal for a month, and they are just friends.
Moreover, Bahroz Sabzwari denied that the couple has called off their marriage. He said dispute happens in every family while commenting on the difference between the couple.

As people across the globe stay home in quarantine due to COVID-19, online shopping has seemingly become the new preferred option. People prefer to buy groceries online, and this has increased the sale more than ever. In Pakistan, E-commerce is proliferating too due to the same reason but not as significant as other countries.
Logistics, along with a lack of communication on mobile phones of large populations that reside in rural areas, have become a significant issue. Other than that, many people still prefer visiting departmental stores and paying via cash.

The United States in April saw a 110% increment in sales. A great deal of climax was witnessed on April 21st as the sales of dollars raised to 289 percent when compared with the previous year weekly.
One hundred seventy cities in China have mobilized local government and social, financial revenue. From January till April of 2020, the retail sales of consumer products in china witnessed an increment of 6%.
In an interview, CEO of Walmart, McMillon said: “The number of new customers trying to pick up and delivery has increased 4X since mid-March. My feeling is that once this crisis is more under control, people will have seen the benefits of that service and will likely continue to use it. It will become a part of the ‘new normal.’”
Currently, Walmart is one of the biggest grocery stores in the United States. Reportedly, the sales have reached an all-new height. The increase in pickup and delivery is surging to 300%.
It is unclear whether consumer behavior will alter once this worldwide lockdown is over.

We know that there are more than 7 billion people on this planet. Frequently, some people end up looking similar to other people out there. But regardless of that, it is always a weird thing to see two people who are not related to each other resemble so much.
Even in the past, there have been plenty of cases where Bollywood and Hollywood look-a-likes have been spotted in Pakistan, and honestly, it is mind-blowing!
However, we recently came across another doppelganger on social media. Let us tell you that the resemblance between the two is UNCANNY! This time, a doppelganger of Bollywood’s heartthrob, Ranvir Kapoor, has been spotted in Lahore!
So, it was no wonder that when the doppelganger of Ranbir Kapoor appeared on Instagram, everyone lost their minds. People noticed how he resembles the Bollywood superstar!
Can you guys tell them apart? So, which one’s the real Ranbir?
This can’t be real!
HOW CAN SOMEONE LOOK SO MUCH ALIKE?!
Farhan Khan Sherwani is a social media personality and has almost 14,000 followers on his Instagram account. Moreover, Farhan is a tremendous photographer and the owner of a creative agency based in Lahore.
Sherwani’s Instagram account is full of scenic and exceptional photos of him from his travel trips. His looks and sense of fashion is what left has left people guessing and noticing the resemblance between him and Ranbir Kapoor.
Not only does this social media influencer resemble the Tamashaactor, but he also seems to have adapted his looks from various films and posted them online.
This one from Rockstar has us wondering if he’s related to the Kapoors and mistakenly ended up here.
Look at this picture right here. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani much?
It’s no surprise that we’re all adjusting to a new, socially distant way of life. To help us out with that, there’s a new tool from Google that uses augmented reality (AR) to assist you in visualizing social distancing restrictions. Pretty cool, right? Well, there’s more.
What exactly is this app?
Sodar is the name of this new experimental tool, which is brought to use by Experiments with Google. The device uses WebXR to create a six-foot or two-meter radius ring around you using your phone screen.
Visiting the site in Chrome on an Android handset will bring up the app. From there, you’ll need to point your camera at the ground and move it around as the device recognizes the plane with a matrix of dots.
Sodar – use WebXR to help visualise social distancing guidelines in your environment. Using Sodar on supported mobile devices, create an augmented reality two meter radius ring around you. #hacktohelphttps://t.co/Bu78QrEN9fpic.twitter.com/kufatNFDQk

How does it work?
Source/ Mashable
Move it up, and you’ll get a visual perimeter of two meters (that’s 6.6 feet for us imperial-unit-loving Americans) – the CDC-recommended length to help curb the spread of COVID-19.
The organization also handily lists it as “about two arms’ length.” The app is probably more clever than it is useful at this point. Technology never fails to surprise us, right?
Meanwhile, holding a phone up to make sure you’re a proper distance away from your fellow human/disease vector is a bit less practical than good old-fashioned common sense.
The two-meter rule
A message at the website stated, this experiment uses (the application program interface) WebXR to visualize 2-meter social-distancing guidelines in your environment.
The tool came out of an “Experiments With Google” project on technology hacks to help people cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
There is some discussion around the two-meter distance rule. The World Health Organisation says a distance of one meter is safe, but the UK government has opted for a two-meter rule for the time being.
Shortly before accessing the mobile site, a popup should appear with some information about privacy. “While you’re in AR, this site may be able to: create a 3D map of your environment; track camera motion,” reads the popup. “Only you can see what your camera is looking at. The site can’t see your camera’s images.”
Now there’s no excuse for standing too close. What’s your take on this latest experiment?
Stay tuned to Brandsynario for the latest news and updates.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused chaos across the world. Presently, the number of affected cases in Pakistan have crossed 72,000. The numbers are rapidly growing as health guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus are blatantly ignored. Pakistanis are approaching the virus head-on mostly without any protection.
This ignorance was highly prevalent as we saw crowds gathered for Eid shopping, and later on for celebrations. The Federal government announced easing the lockdown just as the Holy month of Ramadan was coming to an end to help revive the loss in the economy and overall business community in the country. Shops, malls, and local bazaars remained closed for a month to curb the spread of the virus.

Major Cities in Pakistan Affected by Coronavirus Pandemic:
Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Multan, Quetta, Faisalabad and Sukkur have the most number of affected cases in the country.
How Can We Prevent The Spread of the Virus?
Mandatory Face Masks
Thankfully, Pakistan has recently implemented this rule to be followed by all. After the decision to ease the lockdown, it was highly essential to ensure that everyone must be wearing a mask when they come out of their homes.
Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Health, Zafar Mirza tweeted on 31st May,
“Face masks are now mandatory to be worn by everybody while in crowded public places, mosques, bazaars, shopping malls, public transport ie, road, rail and flights.”
Face masks are now mandatory to be worn by everybody while in crowded public places, mosques, bazaars, shopping malls, public transport ie road, rail and flights. We have reviewed our guidelines for wearing masks and have added a mandatory section <311>. https://t.co/K8xnM8TcG7
As seen just before Eid, chaos was observed in all shopping centers and local bazaars. People crowded the shops without wearing any masks. Neither did anyone maintain any social distancing. Children were also seen shopping with their parents. People should stay indoors and only visit stores when necessary. In this case, only one person should be going outside to buy the essential items.

3. Make Use of the Technological Advancements
For those of us who have access to the internet, you can altogether avoid going out. Grocery shopping can also be done online; all the major supermarkets have the option of online shopping since the pandemic. Make use of the technology you have at your fingertips. Clothing, household items, and anything you want can now be found online! Facebook marketplace is also a great place to look for any items you need.
4. Fine People For Not Following The SOP’s
Offices, businesses, shops, and other stores that are not following guidelines on social distancing during business hours should be fined heavily by the government. Individuals not following safety protocols such as not wearing masks, maintaining distance, or gathering a crowd should also be fined. Various countries have introduced hefty fines for those who are not adhering to the set rules and regulations.
Dubai has started fining people who are not following the COVID-19 related laws:
As the lockdown was eased, the majority of workplaces have now opened up. People must take care of themselves during this crucial time. Washing hands with soap and water is a MUST!
Keep sanitizing your homes and work desks with a disinfectant. In case of not having access to water and soap, do not forget to use a sanitizer! These simple guidelines have been provided by the WHO to fight the ongoing pandemic.

In the interview with Iffat Omar, the actor poured his heart out and revealed how he used drugs at one point in his life but has finally quit and opted for a healthier life.
Zahid Ahmed Reveals How He Was A Victim Of Drug Addiction
“Yes, I have been into drugs. I have used hash a lot in my life, and now Alhamdulillah, I have quit.” The actor mentioned.
A post shared by Zahid Ahmed (@zahid.ahmed.official) on
He continued and stated how there is enough drama in the world; society has completely changed. The actor added, “Karachi is the second most popular city when it comes to marijuana consumption, so we should talk about it. My sons are growing, and in their surroundings, people use it because it’s common.”
“In Islamabad, crystal meth is being sold on school campuses, and crystal meth is death. The person who uses it dies in 2-3 years.” Zahid Ahmed told Iffat Omar.
Talking about his experience, the Ishq Zah-e-Naseeb actor also said, “It’s my 10-15 years of experience, and I want to say, if it has no side effect, then it has no advantage as well. When I left drugs, I felt a lot of change.” The actor advised the youth to think about this and stop using drugs because it’s harmful to your mental and physical health.
A post shared by Zahid Ahmed (@zahid.ahmed.official) on
“Why are we not talking about it? When will we talk about it? Why are you judging it as a sin? It is in our society, and I have made a whole video on this topic on my channel. If you see youngsters, they say that marijuana and hash are not haraam in Islam and it has no side effects”, he added.
“I can say when you are high, it becomes damn easy to not give a damn about anything, and because of this, people use it. After listening to this, it must sound positive, but if you see it from another perspective, it is about ‘you are not giving damn about anything in life”.
“When you are high, you are not giving damn about relationships and not bother about anything in life. You are detached, numb, and it is an easy escape from life. You stop growing as a person completely,” Zahid Ahmed further added.

Donahoe says in his email,
“The horrible killings and racist actions serve as a sickening reminder of what too many people live through every day in America. Let me be as clear as I can: Nike is opposed to bigotry. We are opposed to hatred and inequality in all its forms, indirect and overt. While Nike cannot solve injustice, I believe we have a responsibility to work toward addressing it to the best of our ability.”
