Ahead of the April 23 launch date for the devices, leaks and rumours have already started to reveal key details about the phones, with the latest one now revealing the Indian pricing of two of three devices.

The Indian pricing of the Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro have been leaked by Twitter user, Debayan Roy.

Apart from this, the leaks don't reveal anything about the specifications of the devices. However, since we know the two devices in question are going to be rebrands of Redmi K40 series phones from China, we have a decent idea about their specs.

Under the hood, the Mi 11X Pro is expected to run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. For cameras, this phone may get a three-lens module with a 108MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5MP macro lens.

As for the Mi 11X, at the heart of the device could be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset and a triple-camera set-up with a primary 48MP lens, 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and 5MP macro lens. Keeping the lights on the two phones will be 4,250mAh battery packs that are likely to support fast-charging at 33W. Apart from this, other specifications of the phone will include a 20MP selfie camera, Wi-Fi 6, and IR Blaster.

How to find COVID-19 vaccination centres on Google Maps

Google has announced that it is making it easier for the general public to find the COVID-19 vaccination centres in India, Canada, France, Chile, Singapore and the U.S. This effort by the search giant will let users check the nearest vaccination centres on Google Maps and in search results easily. As more and more countries kickstart vaccination drives across the world, there is a need to increase the vaccination rate in countries like India where the Coronavirus pandemic has a stronghold with over 15 million cases (April 18) and counting. 

Dr Karen DeSalvo, Chief Health Officer at Google wrote in a blog post that, “Vaccines may be harder for people to access based on factors like where they live, how far they have to drive to a vaccination site, and if they have reliable internet access to book an appointment. And globally, it could be years before some countries even have enough vaccines. Overcoming the pandemic will require a coordinated effort on a global scale.”

Google is now making it easier for eligible people to check up on their nearest vaccination centres and schedule an appointment to get immunized. It is as simple as searching for a query on Google Search or Maps and it will show a list of the official vaccination centres. Here’s how to find COVID-19 vaccination centres on Google Maps and Search in India.

COVID-19 vaccination centres in India

Searching for a COVID-19 vaccination centre is easy on Google Maps and Search. It is as simple as entering the term ‘vaccination centre’ or ‘vaccination centres near me’ on Maps or Search to get a detailed listing of the clinics and hospitals that have been designated by the Indian government to provide Coronavirus vaccine to the general public.

1. Open Google Maps on your phone.

2. In the Search box, enter ‘vaccination centres’ or follow it up with the name of the city: ‘vaccination centres Delhi.

3. The search results will display a list of the vaccination centres nearest to your location.

4. Google has also highlighted the COVID-19 vaccine location in the search results and also provides additional information such as the prerequisite of an appointment if any. 

5. People can just call up their nearest vaccination centres to enquire about the availability of the vaccine and set up an appointment to get the first dose.

Similarly, the feature has also been enabled on Google Search allowing users to just use the search engine to find and locate the nearest COVID-19 vaccination centre. Google sources its vaccination centre data from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Apart from details about the vaccination centres, Google is now also showing information about the COVID-19 testing lab on Maps and Search to facilitate Coronavirus testing in India. People looking to get tested for COVID-19 can just simply search for ‘Covid 19 testing centre’ on Google Maps or the search engine to get information on the nearest testing lab which is conducting tests for COVID-19.

PUBG Mobile India release date teased by Dynamo Gaming

PUBG Mobile India launch remains a mystery even though the developers announced an India-centric version of the game back in November 2020. PUBG Corporation also revealed its plans to establish an Indian subsidiary and also aims to provide specific customizations that are more in line with the Indian culture. The popular battle royale game, PUBG Mobile was banned on September 2 last year along with 118 other apps by the Indian government citing security and privacy reasons.

Now in the latest development, one of the popular PUBG Mobile player Aaditya ‘Dynamo’ Sawant has teased the release of PUBG Mobile India. In his live video stream on YouTube, a clip of which was shared by the Instagram page esports.91, he reveals that the trailer for the game will be released on a “double-digit” date and will be followed by the actual release of the game on a “single-digit” date. The information is as cryptic as it can get and there is no confirmation on the exact month of the launch yet. We will advise our readers to take this information with more than a pinch of salt as such rumours have been floating around the Internet for quite some time now.

A post shared by Esports 91 (@esports.91)

While Aaditya did not reveal the exact month when the game will be released, one can speculate that PUBG Mobile India could launch by June in India. If the trailer drops in April, we can expect the game to launch in May and if the trailer is released in May, the game could be released sometime in June. 

Nevertheless, since Aaditya was featured in the official teaser of the game alongside Jonathan Amaral and Chetan ‘Kronten’ Chandgude, there are chances that PUBG Corporation may be looking to kickstart the promotional activities for PUBG Mobile India soon. 

PUBG Corporation has already established an Indian subsidiary and plans to invest over $100 million in India to boost the local gaming, esports, entertainment and IT industry. The company also plans to host India-exclusive esports events and tournaments with massive prize pools once the game launches in India.

PUBG Mobile India is a special version being developed keeping in mind Indian sensibilities and will have custom features like time restriction settings and more.
