“Countdown begins. Few hours to go!,” the tweet from PUBG Mobile India fan club account reads. A picture has been included in the teaser, which showed that the game will be available on Google Play Store and for APK download separately with-in next few hours.  Since the tweet came in, the players are going berserk on internet in an anticipation of the launch tonite.  But InsideSport wants to clear that neither the Corporation nor any one associated with the game has officially announced the timeline of the launch. It is highly unlikely that the game will be launched without any official intimation by the promoters or the Indian government.  Just check this. In the last 1 week 3 official announcements have been made by the Corporation

–  First on – 12th Nov PUBG Coming Soon announced PUBG Corporation. Official release was done of the comeback attempt. The release talked about how PUBG Corporation will be taking measures to secure the data of users.  The release was a clear attempt by the promoters of the game to appease the Indian government that all will be taken care off as per their policies.  Despite the release, no one from the ministry came on record to suggest that the game will be allowed to comeback in different format. 

 Second on – 14th Nov on Diwali the corporation again released a creative on Instagram saying PUBG Mobile Coming Soon Again no timelines

 Third on 14th Nov – Trailer launched – Again this was just an attempt by the Corporation to excite the market. No concrete launch dates were given.  PUBG fraternity since then has been speculating endlessly on the launch date. Such is the situation that unknown source started a pre-registration page on Tap Tap which after 250,000 registrations is now shut-down with no one knows anything about its whereabouts. 

Dozens of Android phone owners are reporting on social media that a picture featuring a lake, a cloudy sunset and a green shoreline is crashing their handsets when used as wallpaper.

Several brands seem to be affected, including Samsung and Google’s Pixel.

Tech journalist Bogdan Petrovan at Android Authority said the bug did not affect his Huawei 20 Pro but it did cause a Google Pixel 2 to malfunction.

“After setting the image in question as a wallpaper, the phone immediately crashed. It attempted to reboot, but the screen would constantly turn on and off, making it impossible to pass the security screen,” he noted.

Restarting the device in safe mode (by holding down the volume button during boot-up) did not fix the issue.”

It appears to affect some but not all devices running the latest version of the Android operating system, Android 10.

The launch event for Android 11 was due to take place this week but has been postponed .

There has not yet been an official reason given for the bug but developer Dylan Roussel, who writes at 9to5Google  .

Ken Munro and Dave Lodge from security firm Pen Test partners also analysed it for the BBC.

“As digital photographs have improved in quality, phones need to check what the image ‘colour space’ is to work out how to display it properly,” they said.

“It’s how a phone knows how to display exactly the right shade of green, for example.

“There are different ways of defining the colour space. Some spaces have specialist uses in graphic design, so sometimes you’ll see images that aren’t in the usual ‘Standard RGB’ format. It’s also possible to deliberately create images that have more colour information than some devices can handle.

“What’s happened here is that the way some phones deal with these cases has gone wrong.

“The phone crashes because it doesn’t know how to deal with it correctly, and the software developers probably hadn’t considered this might happen.”

The Remove China Apps has quickly gone viral among Android smartphone users in India. It claims to remove apps made by Chinese companies from your phone and has a simple interface. You download the app, click scan now and it gives you a list of apps on your phone that come from Chinese companies, which includes names like TikTok, ShareIt, CamScanner and more.

The app is listed at number two on Google Play’s list of top free apps on the platform right now. It has gathered over one million downloads on Android in less than two weeks, riding on the anti-China movement sparked by the covid-19 pandemic. It was launched on 17 May.

The Oppo Reno 4 and the Reno 4 Pro are also excepted to have a triple camera setup at the back and are tipped to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC. There will be two variants for each phone , 8GB RAM with 128GB storage and 12GB RAM with 256GB storage. These phones are also tipped to run ColourOS 7.1 on top of Android 10. Based on the TENAA certification, we can expect the Reno 4 to pack 4,000mAh battery with support for 65W SuperVOOC fast charging.

The camera hardware on these phones is said to be different, the Reno 4 is tipped to include a 48-megapixel primary camera, 8-megapixel wide-angle-camera, and a 2-megapixel portrait camera. The Reno 4 Pro is also said to include a 48-megapixel primary camera but with OIS, the other two sensors are said to be 12-megapixel low-light video camera and a 13-megapixel telephoto shooter.
