OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro design renders surface online yet again

New renders of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro have surfaced online yet again, giving us a glimpse of the upcoming successors to the OnePlus 8 series. There are several reports hinting at the possibility of an early launch of the OnePlus 9 series in March 2021. The OnePlus 8T was launched on October 14 but rumours and speculations around OnePlus 9 are starting to take shape now. According to a report by LetsGoDigital in collaboration with Concept Creator that reveals the new renders of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, we can see the two phones carry forward the rectangular camera module that debuted on the 8T.

Apple now offering a 5 month free Apple Music subscription to new users

If you’ve ever wanted to subscribe to Apple Music, this is probably a really good time to do so as Apple is now giving new Apple Music users a free subscription for 5 months through Shazam. This is essentially a part of Apple’s special holiday offer and will be available for users in Canada, Australian The US, a few other countries and finally, India. Do note that the offer is valid till 17 January, 2021.  To avail the offer all you have to do is download Shazam and use the app to identify a song which will then direct you to Apple Music where you can apply for the offer. Again, this is only available to new users. Current and existing users of Apple Music cannot avail this offer. This comes as no surprise as the holiday season is upon us and there will be other offers coming up as well.  Apple purchased Shazam in 2017 and folded the music identifying app into its own ecosystem. The standard offer for new users on Apple Music is a three-month trial period and have even created a new

Moto G 5G vs OnePlus Nord: Snapdragon 750G vs 765G compared

Moto G 5G has just launched in India as an affordable 5G smartphone in the mid-range segment. While Indian telecom companies are yet to deploy a 5G network, there is no scarcity of phones supporting 5G connectivity in India.

At the price, it goes up against the OnePlus Nord which is its closest 5G competitor starting at Rs 24,999. So how does the Moto G 5G stand against the OnePlus Nord? We find out in this specification based comparison of the Moto G 5G and OnePlus Nord.

Microsoft Teams will stop working for all users on IE11 from today onward

Microsoft announced earlier this year that Microsoft Teams, a popular video conferencing application, is all set to lose support and compatibility on Internet Explorer 11. The move is set in motion to urge users to shift to the new Chromium-based Edge browser. Microsoft has also announced that from 17 August  2021, remaining Microsoft 365 services will also be discontinued on IE11. This announcement states that just after ending the support for the legacy Microsoft Edge browser on 9 March 2021, it would be applied to the Microsoft 365 services. The company on its official blog post announced that users will have a degraded experience or won’t be able to connect to the Microsoft 365 services or apps.  “For degraded experiences, new Microsoft 365 features will not be available or certain features may cease to work when accessing the app or service via IE 11. While we know this change will be difficult for some customers, we believe that customers will get the most out of Microsoft 365

Google removes all fake FAU-G apps from the Play Store

It looks like Google has purged all fake FAU-G apps from the Play Store. As of writing, searching for ‘faug’ or ‘fau-g’ does not result in any apps being suggested. This would come as good news for the developer of FAU-G, nCore games, as well as the players in general. To recall, The Google Play Store was littered with fake versions of the apps that tried to cash-in on the hype surrounding the upcoming game. These games used multiple techniques in order to get people to download them. Some used the same acronym or sounded the same as FAU-G, while others used the same game logo. Most claimed to be a guide for the game, but considering the fact that the game has not been released yet, it’s not known who these guides were for or if the information in these guides was even accurate.  Those who ended up downloading any of these apps could end up with a bunch of issues. If the user is lucky, they could end up with a cheap asset-flipped game that looks and plays terribly. If they were unluc

Vivo V20 Pro price leaked ahead of launch in India

The price of the upcoming Vivo V20 Pro has leaked online ahead of its launch on December 2 in India. The V20 Pro features a 44MP dual selfie camera and Snapdragon 765G processor and was unveiled in September in Thailand. It follows the V20 series that has already launched in India with the V20 in October and V20 SE in November. According to several reports online, the V20 Pro was spotted on Reliance Digital, Poorvika Mobile and Sangeetha Mobiles listed at a price of Rs 29,990. Interestingly, the price of the V20 SE was also spoiled by a listing on Reliance Digital just days prior to its official launch. In the case of V20 Pro, the said listing has since been taken down.  Having said that, it is likely that the phone is launched at Rs 29,990 as previous reports have also indicated the same. The V20 Pro is confirmed to launch on December 2 which is when the price will be officially revealed with the phone going on sale on Amazon India. As the phone has already been announced we already

CD Projekt Red says Cyberpunk 2077s multiplayer will almost be a stand-alone game by itself

As we reported earlier, CD Projekt Red has said that Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC would be announced when the game was released on December 10. Well, we’ve got more news coming up as CD Projekt Red President Adam Kicinski has also said that the game’s multiplayer ‘mode’ will be an almost stand-alone game by itself. According to a transcription of an earnings call by SeekingAlpha, Adam Kicinski said, “So, first, we don't call it modes. It's a separate, dedicated production, a big production. We think about it as a standalone product.” So what does that mean? Well, for one, the game could still be connected to the main Cyberpunk 2077 single-player world but will offer completely different experiences, missions and so on. The company has been keeping the multiplayer portion of the game under wraps for now, but we do expect CD Projekt Red to make an official announcement soon enough. The game is scheduled to be launched on December 10, so we should definitely hear more about the various i

Call of Duty: Mobile to get new version of Nuketown map in Season 13 update

It’s the end of the month and pretty much like clockwork, Activision has started teasing the next big update to Call of Duty: Mobile's upcoming Season 13. The developers have teased a new map coming to the game, and as always, internet sleuths have already deduced that the next seasonal update will be the new version of the ever-popular Nuketown map. This time around, it looks like players will be treated to a Russian-themed version of the map that was seen in Call of Duty: Back Ops 4. Bundle up! It has been getting quite chilly lately...⁣ ⁣ Coming to #CODMobile in the next season! pic.twitter.com/cEDQjb86Tm — Call of Duty: Mobile (@PlayCODMobile) November 28, 2020 The tweet itself doesn’t reveal much about what’s to come, but the house shown in the image is a dead-ringer for the one used in the Russian-version of Nuketown.

Xiaomi Redmi 9A base variant price hiked by Rs 200 in India

Vi Rs 1197 plan brings with it 15GB data per day along with weekend rollover

Vi has a Rs 1197 plan that brings with it validity of 180 days, truly unlimited calling and 1.5GB data per day. The good thing about the plan is that if you don't consume the 1.5GB data in the day, it gets added to the weekend rollover.  What is weekend rollover? With weekend data rollover, a user can carry forward his/her unused data from the week over to the weekend. Let’s take the data available on the above plan as an example. The above Rs 1197 plan brings with it 1.5GB data per day. Say you use only 0.5GB data on the first day, the remaining 1 GB isn't lost. All the unused data from the rest of the week is added to the weekend kitty. So, on Saturday, you will have access to the accumulated data of the week along with the 1.5GB of Saturday. You can understand weekend data rollover in more detail here.  Weekend data rollover isn't limited to the Rs 1197 plan. In fact, the Rs 1197 plan is an addition to a curation of plans available with weekend data rollover. The plans

CD Projekt Red to reveal Cyberpunk 2077 DLC after launch on December 10

Yes, Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed more times than an Air India flight but hope is that December 10 will be the final launch date of the much-awaited action RPG from CD Projekt Red. The game does look to one of the most ambitious gamers ever from all the footage that has been revealed, but we will only know the true depth of the game once we get our hands on it.

Heres how you can view a users WhatsApp status without them ever finding out

WhatsApp users know by now that the status on the app is available for 24 hours and then it disappears. The feature was introduced about two years ago and has since been revamped for users to share videos and photos with their friends and contacts. When you do check the WhatsApp status of a particular user, the users is then notified and knows who checked it. But, there is a way for you to check someone's status without them finding out.  You can use the ‘Read Receipt’ feature on WhatsApp to access this option. Essentially what the ‘ Read Receipt’ feature does is show you who’s read your message. When you see a message that has been sent by you with two tick marks, it means that the message has been delivered. When the tick marks turn blue, it means that the message that you’ve sent has been read by the receiver. Now, when you turn the ‘Read Receipts’ feature off, it also has the added benefit of not letting the person whose status you’ve checked out know about it.  Remember that

Sony reportedly banning PS5 users selling PlayStation Plus Collection enabled accounts to PS4 users

If you have a brand new PS5, then one of the things worth checking out is the PlayStation Plus Collection. It is a curation of 20 games (10 first-party games and 10 third party games) to give owners of the new console access to some of the best games available on the previous generation consoles.  However, it looks like PS5 users are exploiting the service and “selling” access to their account to PS4 owners. Since all 20 games are backwards compatible, users with a PS4 will be able to access the games. According to VGC, “One user had made £100+ charging over 20 users £5 each to unlock the PS Plus Collection on their PS4 consoles. According to many users on a popular Chinese forum, Sony has issued multiple bans in the region for both PS5 owners selling access to the PS Plus Collection and those PS4 owners who have purchased access to it.” It looks like the account will be banned for a period of 2 months and “any PS5 consoles involved in the scheme have been permanently blocked from ne

It looks like the PS5 is outperforming the Xbox Series X in some games: Heres Why

The launch of a new console generation which happens once every 5 or 7 years is filled with excitement, bugs and the ever-prevalent question - which console is more powerful. While we won't see games exploiting the full potential of the next-gen systems for the next few years, early analysis shows that the PS5 runs some third-party games better than the Xbox Series X. This comes as a bit of a surprise since the Series X on paper is the more powerful console.  The information about the difference in performance comes from Digital Foundry. Digital Foundry analysed the framerate resolution and performance of various games across the two consoles. These games include Devil May Cry 5, Dirt 5, Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Call of Duty: Cold War.  While the performance of the PS5 isn't outright superior, the difference in performance is surprising. While in resolution mode in some games, the performance is better on the Series X, it is in the frame rates and stability of frame

PUBG Mobile India is reportedly available for a few people

It seems like PUBG Mobile India may already be in the hands of a select few people. According to a now-deleted tweet by popular YouTuber, Maxtern, the game is available for a select few and those individuals will only be allowed to upload videos a day before the official release of the game. He also suggests that he will be posting a ‘first look’ soon and that the servers are not working for the Indian version at the moment.  As mentioned earlier, Maxtern soon deleted the tweet, which may imply that he wasn’t supposed to reveal the information. Regardless, it isn’t uncommon for influencers, journalists and publications to receive games before launch in order to create content. This could include reviews, features or videos. This allows them to release content as soon as the game is launched. However, there is usually a strict embargo in place to ensure information does not leak beforehand.  Image courtesy talkesport.com We still do know when exactly PUBG Mobile India will be launch
