The frameless design also makes changing batteries and SD cards even faster; plus, the lens is now 2x more impact resistant. For additional protection, Tempered Glass Lens & Screen Protectors are available.

Mods

The Media Mod, Display Mod and Light Mod are modular accessories that deck HERO8 Black out with professional-grade audio, a front-facing display and enhanced lighting. For those seeking the additional performance, Mods enable users to transform their HERO8 Black into a production powerhouse.

Max

GoPro Max is a dual lens GoPro camera that maxes out on versatility—it’s like having three cameras in one. Use Max as a waterproof, maximum-stabilized single lens HERO camera, dual lens 360 camera or next-level vlogging camera with its built-in front facing display and shotgun-mic audio capabilities. No matter how you use it, Max delivers next-level, unbreakable video stabilization with Max HyperSmooth. Max also features four digital lenses, including the new ultra-wide Max SuperView—GoPro’s widest field of view ever. Additional updates include in-camera 360 video and photo stitching plus keyframe-based editing of 360 content in the GoPro app. GoPro Max is like no other camera in the world—perfect for innovative users looking to take their creativity to the … errr...Max!

Spotify introduces Family Plan in India for Rs 179 per month

Spotify has announced the availability of its Premium Family Plan in India. It will cost users Rs 179 per month. It gives users living under one roof more choices to customise music streaming and podcasts, with ad-free, on-demand music listening experience. To recall, the Spotify Premium Family Plan was launched globally in 2014.

The Spotify Premium Family Plan was updated globally earlier this year. The update brought Parental Controls, Family Mix, and Family Hub to the streaming service. Users can try the Family Plan for free for the first three months. 

Users will have access to 450,000 podcast titles and 50 million tracks/songs under the new plan. The users who opt for Family Plan will get up to six accounts per family, where everyone gets to play their own music and podcasts.

“At a time where parents are trying to reduce screen time for both themselves and their family, we're creating more ways for families to bond over music together, while still celebrating individual tastes and giving parents more control if they want it,” said Alex Norström, Chief Premium Business Officer, Spotify.

For reference, Spotify was launched in India back in February. In July, Spotify Lite was launched in India, which is essentially a smaller, lighter version of the main Spotify app. It allows users to control cache, and enables users to clear it with a single tap. It can be downloaded separately from the main app. 

You can sign up for the Spotify Family Plan here.

PUBG Mobile: How to participate in iPhone 11 Pro Max event 

To participate in the event and get a chance to win the iPhone 11 Pro Max, one needs to be logged into the game.

PUBG Mobile and The Walking Dead partnership

As mentioned above, PUBG Mobile has made some new announcements under its partnership with The Walking Dead TV show. Players will get a chance to “traverse the battlefield as familiar heroes or an iconic villain.” We assume that it means players will be able to select a character from The Walking Dead as their in-game avatar. There are also some limited in-game items such as weapons, character skins, and a vehicle that will also be available. There’s also a new Walking Dead Board Game available within PUBG Mobile, which can be accessed from the bottom right corner on the main menu.

There’s also event missions to complete items to collect for advancing and earning points. Players can exchange the points they earn for rewards, one of the notable ones being a permanent Daryl Dixon's Motorcycle. More events and characters added to the game soon.
