OnePlus Nord N10 successor codenamed Ebba with 649-inch display leaked

OnePlus Nord N10 successor codenamed ‘Ebba’ has been detailed in a new leak. The OnePlus Nord N10 was launched alongside the Nord N100 for the US and Europe and we now have a first look at its successor. OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus 9 series on March 23 globally so it is likely that the launch of N10’s sequel is months away. The phone could be called the Nord N20, however, we do not have confirmation at this point.

According to a report by popular tipster OnLeaks on Voice, OnePlus will start teasing the successor to the Nord N10 “in a few months”. The phone is codenamed ‘Ebba’ and has the model number EB2101 as spotted on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) website by 91Mobiles.

The Nord N10 is a budget smartphone and its follow-up will have a glossy plastic rear panel with a metal chassis. The phone could measure 8.4 millimetres in thickness and has the same profile as the Nord N10.

It features a 6.49-inch display which could be the same as the N10 with a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The screen is surrounded by noticeable bezels which are commonplace with phones in this price range. It is also said to have a 3.5mm headphone jack and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. Furthermore, the phone is seen to have three cameras on the back housed in a slightly raised camera module with a LED flash unit. However, no information has been revealed about the cameras of the purported Nord N20.

It is not known whether OnePlus will bring the successor to the OnePlus Nord N10 to India. Since the N10 never made it to India, it would be safe to assume at this point that the company could skip this altogether. Nevertheless, we have also been hearing about the successor to the OnePlus Nord that launched in July in India. 

The OnePlus Nord 2 is rumoured to be the first OnePlus phone to run on MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor and could launch by June 2021. We are still months away from the launch of the purported OnePlus Nord 2 and there’s a lot that could potentially change between now and when the phone officially launches.

Call of Duty: Mobile developers address bugs and changes in Season 2 Day of Reckoning update

Activision has revealed some of the changes and fixes its developers put into the game following the release of Season 2 Day of Reckoning update. The changes include discussions on weapon rebalancing, Hardpoint spawn changes, and the fixing of the infamous Predator Skin glitch.

Call of Duty: Mobile - changes

Call of Duty: Mobile developers note that weapon balancing has been one of the ‘hottest topics’ over the past week. Activision note that while there have already been some changes made to address the issue, its teams are discussing more options for future updates. 

The developers also revealed that while players generally disliked the initial changes to Hardpoint spawning, the latest changes seem to be more favourable. The developers also noted that they will be keeping an eye on discussions and see if there are any continued concerns. 

As far as issues with screen shake/recoil changes are concerned, Activision notes that they have been trying to narrow it down to understand if this was feedback or a bug. Regardless, the developers have shared posts regarding the same with their team. They hope that the team will be able to better understand and address the mixed sentiment about the same.

Activision has also talked about the restoration of accounts. The developers have advised players to opt for two-factor authentication whenever possible. For accounts that have been already compromised, the developers suggest reaching out for support on Facebook or ATVI Support for COD accounts, etc.

Call of Duty: Mobile - bugs

Activision has already addressed some of the bugs facing the game. The most notable being the Phantom Skin glitch that caused players with the skin to not be rendered in the game. IN order words, players with the skin would be invisible to everyone else. The developers have listed all the bugs they have identified and note that some long-term issues like black screen issues of desync haven’t been included. The list has been divided into three sections. This includes bugs that have been fixed, bugs with a fix scheduled to release soon, and bugs that are still under investigation.

POCO F3 final renders have leaked online, will launch with Snapdragon 870G chip

You are going to be hearing a lot about POCO for the next couple of weeks as the company is all set to launch a couple of new phones. The global event on March 22nd is expected to see the launch of both POCO F3 as well as the X3 Pro. In India, however, it looks like we'll only be getting the POCO X3 Pro.

We already know quite a bit about both phones but the standard POCO F3 variant has popped up online. Yes, we have our very first look at what appears to be the official renders of the POCO F3. Before we talk about the render and the phone's design, here's what it looks like - 

Your very first look at the POCO F3 Official Renders! Will be launching with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G Chipset. The design looks like the Redmi K40, as expected. What are your thoughts? #POCOF3 #POCO #PowerMeetSpeed pic.twitter.com/vvVSDbq4X9

Ishan Agarwal's tweet gives us our first look at the phone in three colour variants - White, Black, and Blue. We don't know what these colours will be officially called just yet. If you have seen the Redmi K40, then there's nothing new here. It looks exactly like the Redmi K40, barring a few obvious changes.

The blue colour variant of the phone seems to have a unique pattern at the back but both the white as well as the black ones are plain and simple. There's a triple-camera setup at the back along with a POCO 5G branding. On the front, we see a punch-hole cut out on the display and a relatively large bottom bezel.

We don't have any info on the specs just yet but it's expected to be a rebranded Redmi K40. The Redmi K40 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870G chip and comes with up 12GB RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The triple-camera setup at the back is expected to include a 48MP sensor. It will also have a 120Hz Super AMOLED panel on the front.

POCO F3 Release Date

POCO is expected to debut both the F3 as well as the X3 Pro tomorrow for the global market. In India, as mentioned earlier, it looks like we are only getting the X3 Pro on March 30 and it is also said to be packed with powerful internals.
