If you’ve been trying to upload a file to Google Drive or send an attachment via Gmail, and it isn’t working, then know that you are not alone. As of writing this story, Digit has tried to upload an attachment to Gmail and it has failed multiple times. So yes, the problem is real. Google's G Suite Status Dashboard reads, “We are continuing to investigate this issue. We will provide an update by 8/20/20, 1:30 PM detailing when we expect to resolve the problem.”

A new 5G BlackBerry smartphone with QWERTY keyboard is in the works, coming in 2021

“What is dead may never die” - The famous adage from George R.R. Martin’s epic is quite apt for BlackBerry, a smartphone brand that keeps dying and being revived. After TCL announced they have parted ways with BlackBerry, it was assumed the brand will now finally retire from the hardware business, after being thwarted by the rise of Android and iOS. But it turns out there’s still more left for the BlackBerry saga to unfold.

5G BlackBerry smartphone with QWERTY keyboard is in the works

You might just be seeing the BlackBerry logo stamped on a smartphone in a near you soon enough, thanks to a little-known mobile security company called Onward Mobility. And this time, BlackBerry will come back with 5G.

The licensee-manufacturer claims that the upcoming BlackBerry phone will be “highly secure” and will offer a “suite of end-to-end security solutions”. The brand will get the smartphone manufactured by Foxconn-subsidiary FIH Mobile, who will also be designing the smartphone. And if rumours are to be believed, there will be a hardware QWERTY keyboard, like the old BlackBerry smartphones.

Onward Mobility is a little known company in the smartphone hardware space, so we will have to wait and watch how this new saga in BlackBerry’s timeline plays out. But whatever be it, it’s commendable for the Canadian company to continue staying relevant even after giving up on smartphone hardware a few years ago.

Prince of Persia Remake could be coming in November 2020

For fans of the Prince of Persia franchise, there is some great news for you guys. A user on Twitter managed to grab two screenshots of listings for a remake of Prince of Persia. The screenshots were taken from a Guatemalan retailer called Max. The listings have now been deleted from the website. From what we saw in those screenshots, the Price of Persian Remake was slated to have a November 2020 release. In addition to the leaked screenshots, veteran games journalist Jason Schreier also confirmed that the leaked screenshots were indeed real. 

From what we can see in the screenshots posted above, the game looks like it will be launching on the PS4 and the Switch, with no mention of the PC or the Xbox. The placeholder art gives looks like maybe Ubisoft will remake one of the games from the Sands of Time series, but that’s just us speculating. No real information has been revealed by Ubisoft either. But Jason Schreier has been a reliable source of info before and is usually on the button with issues such as this. 

The Price of Persia series really took off during the PS2 era with The Sands of Time, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones making up one of the most beloved games of that generation. It will be interesting to see what Ubisoft has planned for the franchise and maybe we’ll get more info in the coming weeks, but for now, all we can do is speculate on what older game will the company remake. 

In other Ubisoft news, the company revealed a ton of games during its Ubisoft Forward presentation and you can check them all out here. The company even game away free copies of Watch Dogs 2 and you can read more about that story here. And, if you're bored and are looking for a few single-player games to check out, we've got a cross-platform list for you, right here.

PS5 and Xbox Series X price and release date leaked yet again

Less than 3 months for the PS5 and Xbox Series X to release, and we still don't have a concrete launch date or price for the consoles. While Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox Series X will launch in November, Sony has only said “Holiday 2020” as a launch date for the PS5. Now new information has appeared online suggesting the release date and price of the upcoming console. The information comes from Roberto Serrano who apparently doesn’t have the best track record for leaking information. So why are we considering his leaked information in this story? Well, it does lineup with what's being presumed and the release date of the Series X does line up with the previously leaked controller. So let’s look at what he has to say about the price and release date of the new console. 

*BREAKING NEWS* @Xbox and @PlayStation fans According to latest news (more than a rumor or speculation), the next-gen console release date should be #XboxSeriesS 11.05.2020 399 $/€ #XboxSeriesX 11.06.2020 499 $/€ #PS5 11.13.2020 $/€ 499 - Digital $/€ 399 *TBC* pic.twitter.com/XwEXtblL8n

As mentioned above, Sony has been tight-lipped about the launch and price of the PS5. While previous information suggests it costs Sony about $450 to make a PS5, Sony hasn’t given us much information or even hinted at a possible price. During the reveal of the PS5, Sony did confirm that the PS5 will be available in 2 variants - one with a Blu-ray drive and one All Digital. 

According to the new leak, the All Digital PS5 will be priced at $399 and the PS5 with a Blu-ray drive will be priced at $499. According to the leak, both versions of the PS5 will go on sale on November 13, 2020, in the US. Earlier leaks suggested that the PS5 would go on sale in Japan on November 14 followed by a worldwide release on November 20. Considering how important a market the US is, it is possible the PS5 could release there first. 

Since the PS4 also launched in the US on November 15, 2013, the release date for the PS5 seems somewhat plausible. However, we do remind you to take the above information with a grain of salt. 

In India as well, there is a page live on e-commerce websites and Sony’s own online store highlighting the features of the PS5. So we can expect the console to launcher sooner in India than the PS4. The PS4 launched in India in January 2014, 2 months after its US release.

Xbox Series X and Series S release date and price

While Microsoft has given us a lot of information about the Xbox Series X, the Series S console is its worst kept secret. A next-gen Xbox controller was leaked recently and the box highlighted the existence of the Series S console. While Microsoft is yet to officially unveil the Series S, information circulating the internet suggests it will be a more affordable less-powerful Xbox but will house the same CPU and SSD technology as the series X.  As mentioned above, Microsoft has confirmed the Series X will launch in November and leaks on the internet suggest Number 6 as the launch date. 

According to the new leak, the Xbox Series S will launch on November 5 for $399 undercutting the digital edition of the PS5 by $100 while the Series X will launch a day later on November 6 for $499, the same as the PS5. 

Again we’d like to tell you to take the leaked information with a grain of salt as this is not official and Sony and Microsoft could change their launch plans anytime.

PlayStation Lead Architect Mark Cerny promised us a teardown of the PS5 when the technical specs were revealed, and we are yet to see that. So it is safe to say that Sony probably has at least 1 more big PS5 event planned before the console hits store shelves. Same for the Xbox where we can expect the company to officially announce the Series S. 

While we wait for some official information on the pricing and release date of the next-gen consoles, you can check out our comparison of the specs of the PS5 and Xbox Series X here and a comparison of the design of the two consoles here.
