PUBG Mobile v10 update coming Sept 8 will update the graphics, change the UI and more

PUBG Mobile has confirmed that the game’s next big update will be the v1.0 update. Called Beyond A.C.E, the update will introduce a host of new changes and features. This includes upgraded graphics, new UI and new gameplay experiences. The new update will roll out on September 8.

New graphics

PUBG Mobile will see a graphical overhaul with improvements in visuals, animation and overall presentation. This starts from the main lobby itself where players will see improved lighting. Others include improved particle effects when it comes to smoke, muzzle flash and more. The animation of landing on the battlefield after jumping from the plane has also been improved. 

The lighting effects have also been overhauled with better water reflections, vegetation and the sky. In fact, the developers note that the textures and models have been improved as a whole and players should see a pretty big difference when the update drops.

New user interface

The new UI experience starts straight from the beginning where players will experience a new interactive lobby that is more streamlined and simplified. The company says that it focused on “interactions, visuals, motions and sound effects to improve quality.” The main menu will now be divided into separate pages, namely Social, Game and Store. This developers hope that this will help improve the user experience for players.

Not only that, but players will also have the option to customize the layout of their interface as per their needs and taste. 

Besides this, the developers also teased a host of new gameplay experiences, but did not explain what they were. However, one can hazard a guess that the 'New Era' experiences the developers are talking about will include Eragel 2.0, the new version of the classic PUBG map. The new version of the map was unveiled last year but now it looks like the map is finally ready for the limelight.

OnePlus could launch a phone more affordable than the Nord as soon as September-end

The next phone from OnePlus could launch as soon as the end of September as per a new leak on Twitter. OnePlus announced its re-entry into the mid-range affordable segment last month with the launch of the Nord in India. The phone is priced starting at Rs 24,999 but this yet-unnamed OnePlus phone could be priced at a more affordable price point.

Before we go ahead, we advise our readers to take this information with a pinch of salt. While OnePlus has confirmed preciously that it will be looking at more affordable price segments with the next phone in the Nord series, it is not confirmed whether this upcoming phone falls in that lineup.

According to a post by Chun (@Boby25846908), the company is looking to launch a phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 or Snapdragon 665 in India. The tweet further says that the price of this phone is expected to be between Rs 16,000 - Rs 18,000 in India, hinting that it could be launched in India first.

The company has also confirmed earlier that it would launch a different Nord smartphone in the US. While not much is known about this upcoming phone, the tipster indicates that OnePlus’ distant cousin Oppo will also launch a Snapdragon 662-powered smartphone in early-September and that phone is expected to be priced under Rs 20,000.

Interestingly, Motorola launched the Moto G9 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset earlier today and it debuted in India first. OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei had earlier said that all new devices in the company’s Nord lineup will launch in the US. However, it remains to be seen whether this new smartphone by OnePlus belongs to the Nord lineup or will be a separate series.

If this leak is true, we should hear more about the upcoming phones from OnePlus as we near the launch date.
