PUBG faced a huge backlash after its operation in India was banned after the ban of other 117 Chinese apps. The reason behind the ban of the game was national security and the data that is being transferred to the Chinese government. It was estimated that it led to the loss of billions for Tencent, as soon as the game was banned. Most of the Indian gaming community was not very happy with the decision as they were unable to play it any further on the app. However, the decision did not impact the PC version of PUBG and the PUBG lite version on the PC. 

Now, as per the new news, PUBG, the South Korean company, will not be using Tencent services anymore to publish the game in the Indian market. This major step has been taken by the company to disassociate with the Chinese company and relaunch the game in the Indian market. PUBG did confirm that they respect the decision taken by the Indian government for the security of their country and they will take every possible step to make sure that the game can be played in India. Now the game will directly be published by PUBG corporation in India, making them totally disconnected from the Chinese company Tencent. 

They also confirmed that it will allow the data to remain in the local servers of India. PUBG officials said, “in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India and security of the State”. It has expressed concern over how user data is used and stored. Since the US is also planning to ban the Chinese apps just like India, the step taken from the PUBG corporation will allow them to remain in the market, regardless of the Chinese app ban.

Huawei has been launching a lot of new products lately and now they have announced their new MatePad T8 tablet with a lot of interesting features. The Indian market has always been very profitable for India as they have been providing devices with great and powerful hardware. The new Huawei MatePad T8 tablet has been launched in India at a starting price of Rs 9,999, which is a steal, looking at the configuration it is providing at this price range. The new budget-friendly tablet has a large 8-inch display and thick bezels, which is expected to look at the lower price. 

The Tablet has been launched with a single variant and a single color option to keep the price factor at the lowest possible. It also offers a choice between LTE and Wi-Fi variants. The tablet will be powered by the MediaTek Octa-Core processor, which will be made available for sale from next week through Flipkart. The only downfall that one can look at right now is the 2GB/32GB configuration, as the RAM requirement is very high based on the heavy apps that are used today. The company is providing the LTE variant with a discount of Rs 1,000, which will make the device priced at Rs 9,999.

Other confirmed details of the tablet show an octa-core MediaTek MT8768 SoC, with 5,100 mAh battery and standard charging. It also has a dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, LTE (optional), GPS/ A-GPS, USB OTG, and a Micro-USB port. It might be a great tablet for people who are looking for something they can consume media on or even for studying. However, the device might not be the best for gaming.

The new generation Xbox X series console is all set to be revealed in the month of November, as communicated by experts. However, the company has officially not yet revealed any details about the product or the launch date. Now some details from Pringles have been leaked, which might give us a good idea of what should be the price of the next-generation console. There have already been leaks about the images and retail packaging of the new age console remote controller. 

The retail box for the same gave hints about the price and what all devices it is compatible with. Xbox is holding a contest for a new Xbox Series X in South Africa, where many users will be getting a free console and other consolation prizes. When the total cost of the consoles was seen in the image, it was easier to guess the cost of the console as well. As per the guess from another expert on the Twitter handle, it seems that the new console could be anywhere under $850-$950. 

The price that was provided by Pringles was somewhere accurate to $850-$875, but the price might be kept to $900-950, depending on the gaming bundles and the games they provide it. Now the prize value provided by Pringles could be changed before the event, which does not make it the right value at which the new generation console will be sold. Therefore, the only option with the users is to wait for the official launch and know the actual price for it.

With this lens, you can expect the camera to have a better focus and a clear distinction between the background and foreground. 

This technology helps to provide a better portrait shot and increase the quality of the image. The LiDAR lens was introduced to iPad Pro in April this year, which made the camera of the iPad Pro much more superior. Adding the same to the Pro model of the iPhone 12 would make it even costlier and feature-rich. The iPhone 12 Pro model is expected to come in two variants 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch and feature is expected to be in both of them.

The first feature will reduce the noise to a minimum while increasing the focus on the specific sound not or voice. The second feature will recreate the sound waves and bounce them in the real world. It will help the user hear the sound which is not easily audible naturally. Currently, the work on the AR glasses is being refined more and more for different types of users to use it.

The “Lo-Fi Player” is created by Vibert Thio, a Google Magenta intern with the help of researcher Douglas Eck. Now, this is a very interesting concept where you can interact with different things and customize the music. The user will be provided with the graphical animation of a room, which has a person, a cat, and some things, objects, and even musical instruments. 

As a user, when you tap on the item, it creates a new tone or music, which can be added to the Lo-Fi music, and hence can be customized. It is not the only thing available in it, as the user will also see a keyboard and a synthesizer that lets you play around with the chords, and select the instrument you want. And if you are not a cat person, you can even change it to a dog. Simply tap on the cat and the entire room will change and also will your pet. You can also restart your virtual music room by tapping on the green lamp on top. 

Now Google says that this is a small and easy project through which anyone can create their own music and customize various melodies. This kind of experience of customizing the music is both educational and interactive. This feature is also available on youtube, where you can play the music and comment in the live chatbox.
