OnePlus 8T confirmed to launch with Warp Charge 65

OnePlus 8T is now confirmed to feature Warp Charge 65 fast charging technology when it launches on October 14 in India. The OnePlus 8T is slated to be the first phone in the company’s arsenal to support 65W fast charging that is capable of recharging the phone relatively faster than any other OnePlus phone in the market. OnePlus has been revealing key features of the upcoming OnePlus 8T in the heads up to the launch which is scheduled to begin from 7:30 PM IST on October 14.

According to a post on OnePlus Forums, Warp Charge 65 will fully charge the OnePlus 8T in 39 minutes and is capable of charging it up to 58% in 15 minutes tops. Moreover, the company also confirmed that the OnePlus 8T is equipped with a 4,500mAh battery, corroborating earlier leaks and rumours. 

OnePlus 8T uses a dual-cell battery technology that charges two separate cells at more than 30W simultaneously while keeping the thermals in check. A drawback of fast battery charging is the amount of heat generated and the methods deployed to counter it. OnePlus 8T is fitted with a new heat dissipation system and the company has added an encryption chip to the charging adapter along with 12 temperature sensors in the phone to keep the device running cool even when charging at 65W.

PUBG Mobile ban in India permanent for now: Report

PUBG Mobile could remain permanently banned in India as the government of India isn’t revoking the ban on any of the 119 apps restricted by it on September 2. As per the latest report, there isn’t any discussion within the government on revoking the ban on any of the restricted apps anytime soon. PUBG Mobile, one of the most popular mobile games was banned by the government over their alleged engagement in “activities” that were “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order."

According to a report by InsideSport citing a “ministry source”, the government of India ,“ is in no discussion with-in the ministry officially to revoke the ban on any of the apps listed in the ban list.” PUBG Mobile severed ties with Tencent Games in India after the game was taken down from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. As per the report, the government has taken cognizance of the Corporation severing its ties but has said that a “mere announcement” isn’t enough to be considered for revocation of the ban in effect on PUBG Mobile.

Since its ban, there have been several rumours regarding PUBG Corporation looking for an Indian publisher for the popular battle royale title in India. However, the latest information does seem to indicate that it is going to be a long wait for PUBG Mobile players in India, at least until PUBG Corp gets a publisher on board.

Another report from The Hindu Business Line citing “sources in the know”, PUBG Corp. could collaborate with Jio Platforms to distribute PUBG Mobile in India. Reliance Jio is reportedly already in talks with PUBG Corp to take over the Indian licensing for publishing the popular battle royale game. Having said that, there’s no official word from either of the companies for a possible collaboration yet. 

PUBG Mobile has over 50 million active players in India and had also become a source of revenue for several upcoming Indian streamers who have amassed a large following on YouTube and other social media platforms. All of that has come to a pause since the ban is in effect with players trying their hands on other games like Call of Duty Mobile, Clash of Clans, Among Us, FreeFire, to name a few.

It is currently not known when the ban on PUBG Mobile in India could be lifted and the latest information coming in from the government doesn’t seem very hopeful for PUBG Mobile players and fans in India.

Shout into Twitter DMs with new voice message feature

Apparently Twitter now knows how much people like Voice Messages. The company is  about to introduce Voice DM’s just shortly after their roll out of audio tweets in June which allowed users to include their own voice in Tweets. The company was quoted saying “Sometimes 280 characters aren’t enough and some conversational nuances are lost in translation. So starting today, we’re testing a new feature that will add a more human touch to the way we use Twitter — your very own voice”

Voice DM’s on Twitter seemed like the next logical step. Alex Ackerman-Greenberg who is product manager for DMs at Twitter said the company is going to test voice DMs soon to The Verge. This will allow users to share voice messages in DM’s and is almost in the final stages of development. Twitter has said that they will start testing the service in Brazil soon.

Here we have a screenshot shared with the Verge from Alex Ackerman-Greenberg, which shows a sneak-peak into the interface which only has a play/pause button with a timer, showing the length of the voice message.

“We know people want more options for how they express themselves in conversations on Twitter — both publicly and privately,” he was quoted as saying in the report.

For the time being voice DM’s are currently capped at 140-seconds. To recall, Twitter originally had a 140-character limit for tweets, which was later increased to 280-characters.

While audio messages are relatively new ground for Twitter, it's a feature you can find in many other apps. Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp have supported voice messages for some time now.

As Twitter pointed out when it started testing audio tweets on iOS, voice messages add a “more human touch” to the way people use a chat platform. So it’s not a surprise to see the company willing to experiment with the format for DMs.

Reliance Jio planning to sell over 200 million Rs 4,000 Android smartphones by 2022 in India

Reliance Jio is reportedly planning to produce over 200 million smartphones by 2022 and is expected to sell it at an entry-level price of $54 (~Rs 4,000) in India. As a part of it’s Rs 33,737 crore ($4.5 billion) investment deal

According to a report by Bloomberg that cites people in the know-how of these things, Jio Platforms is planning to manufacture over 200 million smartphones by the next two years. As per previous reports, the company had initially aimed to manufacture 100 million smartphones, allegedly launching them by the end of December 2020. However, the new development indicates that the company has asked its local suppliers to ramp up its production capabilities to adjust the revised goal. 

The company is reportedly in talks with domestic manufacturers like Lava, Karbonn and Dixon as well as global players such as Foxconn and Wistron. As the company eyes an increased production capacity, the final order for the $50 Android phone is expected to be distributed amongst two or more manufacturers in India. 

Moreover, Jio’s entry-level smartphone is expected to come bundled with tariff plans that will help it increase its subscriber base by millions as India is home to over 350 million 2G users. Interestingly, Reliance Jio recently announced its new Jio Postpaid Plus service that offers internet data, unlimited calling and subscription to OTT services like Netflix, Prime Video and more, starting at Rs 399. 

The company’s foray into the smartphone segment happened with the JioPhone back in July 2017 and was followed by the JioPhone 2 in July 2018. With the two feature phones, Jio was able to attract over 100 million users, however, now users on feature phones also want to jump on the smartphone bandwagon. 

Reliance has raised more than Rs 152,000 crores under its digital arm Jio Platforms in 2020 from various companies and investment firms such as Facebook, Google, Silver Lake, Qualcomm, to name a few.
