The Lite open beta a free-to-play version of the game designed to work on low-end PCs” There’s finally some good news for us poor peeps – PUBG Corp is testing a Lite version of the popular battle royal game that works effectively on low-end PCs and is free to download and play. The developer has further stated that the Lite version, although built for low-end hardware is just as good as PUBG on Steam. Dubbed PUBG Lite, the game is currently being tested in Thailand and according to a blog post by the developers it will arrive in other markets soon.

Share Tweet “As per the CIRP report, the iPhone XS has performed the worst, selling only slightly more than the iPhone 7, which is two generations old” The Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) has published a report for  iPhone sales  distribution for the last three months of 2018. As per the data published from its market survey, the  iPhone XR  ( review ) accounted for 39 percent of all iPhones sold in the USA between October and December, 2018. This is significantly higher than what the  iPhone XS  ( review ) and  iPhone XS Max  ( review ) sold in total, during the same period. Among all the  iPhones , the iPhone XR enjoys the best balance of every factor — it is more affordable than the other new iPhones, has a large display, higher native storage and most of the features of the flagship iPhones. On an overall sense, it doesn’t come across as a compromise the way the iPhone 5C did, back when it w...

“The upcoming Nokia smartphones are also expected to be Android One-branded” Nokia’s  Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas has  teased  February 24th as the launch date for its devices. The company has once again chosen Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 — world’s biggest tech trade show — to showcase what it has in store. Much like last year, Nokia’s license holder HMD Global may take the wraps off new smartphones, including the rumoured  Nokia 9 PureView ,  Nokia 8.1 Plus , and  Nokia 6.2 .

Under the hood, it may employ Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 84...

“The APEX 2019 is a flagship phone that has no ports or buttons and is made from a single slab of aluminium” Vivo  recently  announced  its latest concept phone, the APEX 2019, in China. Although the phone won’t be available for purchase anytime soon, a device based on this concept could be launched in the coming months. The  APEX 2019  is the successor to last year’s Vivo APEX, which also brought a new design paradigm to the smartphone industry. The brand’s latest is all metal and glass without any cut-outs, ports and buttons. The entire front of the phone is a display, except for a very thin chin at the bottom.  The Vivo APEX 2019 has a full-screen in-display fingerprint scanner among other cool technologies. The entire front of the screen can be used to unlock the phone and that’s a first. We have seen phones which hid the biometric module under the half portion of the display, but this is the first time that an entire screen is used for thi...

The plan comes with a validity of 28 days and is mandatory to avoid deactivation” As you know, Indian telcos have made it mandatory to have a minimum balance of at least Rs 35 to avoid SIM deactivation in case you’re a prepaid subscriber. This decision has since been backed by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) and requires prepaid users to recharge their phones every month with the most basic plan to keep getting incoming calls. Now Vodafone Idea has introduced a new minimum plan that is even cheaper than its Rs 35 plan. The new Rs 24 minimum prepaid recharge tariff comes with a validity of 28 days and requires users to recharge before the expiry date. The same is notified to the users via SMS before the expiry date. Failing which users will be given a time of 15 days in which they can recharge their SIM cards, during which Vodafone Idea will stop outgoing service from their number and suspend data services. If you don’t recharge after these 15 days also,...
