The details leaked on the web states that the phone will be using a 1080p or a full HD resolution screen. Earlier, it was expected that the company could be adding a new 2K resolution screen on the same. 

However, it is now almost confirmed through the leaks that the 2K resolution screen will not be a part of this smartphone. However, the phone will come with a new kind of technology that will improve the display quality to provide a much better resolution on output than a full HD screen. The phone is also expected to come with MIUI 13 out of the box which has still not been released by Xiaomi. The MIUI 13 will specifically bring a unique and much better experience on the MI Mix 4 as per the company.

Youtube has finally decided to add the PiP support for the iOS devices, something that was already present for Android smartphones. The PiP feature allows the users on Youtube to watch the video in the small pop-up, even after the Youtube app has been closed. The feature will be available for both premium and free users on Youtube. The company has also confirmed that the update will first be rolled out to all the premium users and once it is completed, it will be rolled out for all the iOS users in the US. 

However, Youtube has not yet confirmed when the feature will be rolled out for the global audience. The PiP feature was already available on the iPad OS where the users could access it through Youtube working on the Safari browser. For now, it is clear that the new feature will be available on the Youtube app for both free and premium users in the US, however, it is not certain that the same will continue for users on a global scale. 

It can be a case that the premium users globally receive the feature while the free users are only able to access the features through Youtube on a web browser. Although there are a lot of workarounds to disable and enable the PiP feature on devices, the addition of the features on the iOS devices is surely going to be useful for the users. It is also expected that the feature will be updated for global users by the end of the year.

PUBG used to rule the mobile gaming industry in Indian and ever since the ban on the game last year, users have been eagerly waiting for its return. After the news came in about the pre-registration for the completely new Indian version of the game, the mobile gaming industry has seen huge positive feedback and impact on the industry. In fact, PUBG was released as Battlegrounds mobile India and also provided some users the opportunity to get their hands on the pre-release edition. 

Since there were limited slots, only a few players have been able to get their hands on the new game and from what we have heard from them, the new version of the game does stand up to the level of excitement PUBG created. The game has only been made available for Android smartphones for now with the iOS version also coming very soon. The game comes with a few additional changes which are a change of blood color to green, a new account system, and a warning system that would warn users to spend a certain time on the game. 

The ban on PUBG was due to the Chinese publisher Tencent, as during the time all Chinese apps were banned in India. The game has now been made from scratch for the Indian audience and was solely developed by Krafton. However, the company has not tried to change the game a lot and you will still find a lot of similar features and gameplay mechanics. One major change that the users will notice is the primary focus on the age of the player and if they are very young to play this game and the amount of time one spends on playing it.
