Pokemon on Pebble? Pebblemon Brings a Clone of the Classic Game to Your Smartwatch

Pokemon, the iconic game series from Nintendo, debuted in Japan nearly two-and-a-half decades ago. It took the game only a few years to taste immense popularity in not just the US but in several other countries as well. And while Pebblemon — designed and developed to play on the Pebble smartwatch — may not be exactly the same, its developer describes it as a "mini...

Garena Free Fire to introduce new game mode, and offer free login rewards this weekend

Garena Free Fire has announced that its collaboration with McLaren will hit its peak this weekend. Players who login over the weekend stand to earn in-game items. Further, the game will also release a new mode called Convoy Crunch. All players who log in from July 31 to August 1 will receive Free Fire and Mclaren rewards. Further, all players who manage to complete the playtime mission over the weekend will also receive the McLaren Racing Overalls Bundle. 

Garena Free Fire: Convoy Crunch 

The new Convoy Crunch mode in Garena Free Fire will be a limited time mode. In this mode, players will be divided into two teams. At the start of each round, one of the teams will play the Invaders, while the other will be Defenders. The Invaders are tasked with escorting a vehicle to a specific destination, while the defenders have to ensure that does not happen. Both teams will take turns playing as the invaders or defenders. 

The vehicle will only move when there are Invaders inside a set radius around the vehicle. However, if the defenders are within that area, the vehicle will move backwards. If both teams are within are radius, the vehicle stops.

The winners of the mode are decided by one of two outcomes. The teams that use the least amount of time to get the vehicle to a destination. Or, the team that advances the vehicle the furthest distance. 

The Convoy Crunch mode will be available till August 3.

Realme MagDart will be 440 faster than Apple Magsafe, teases CEO

Realme’s MagDart wireless charging technology, that’s due for an official unveiling on August 3, is inspired by Apple’s Magsafe but that didn’t prevent CEO Madav Seth from taking a dig at the Cupertino giant. 

In a Twitter post, Madhav revealed that Realme’s upcoming wireless charging tech is “440% faster” and asked fans to guess what the comparison was up against. 

The answer is most obviously Apple’s Magsafe that delivers 15W wireless charging speeds. The “440%” claim also confirms Realme achieving 66W wireless charging speeds - which makes MagDart one of the fastest wireless charging solutions available. 

Faster and Thinner! Can you guess in comparison to which charging tech is #realme's MagDart charger 440% faster? RT and reply with #MagForFuture. pic.twitter.com/xaZ3xRuMMW

— Madhav Sheth (@MadhavSheth1) July 29, 2021 Likely to come in two sizes 

In a second image, Madhav revealed a slim and light wireless charger, contrary to the chunky charging puck with cooling fans that surfaced earlier. 

Gsmarena, that dug up the leak sensibly reasons that it is unlikely that the 65W charging speeds are attained using the slim charger revealed by the CEO. This could instead be the second low wattage wireless charger that Realme could launch together. 

That makes sense since the 65W AirVOOC wireless charging stand launched by sister company Oppo has a semiconductor cooler with a fan to dissipate heat and to ensure that the phone that you would be charging doesn't get too hot. The 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge can fully charge a 4000mAh battery in 30 minutes and we can expect similar performance with Realme's MagDart. 

Oppo also launched a 50W mini VOOC wireless charger which could be re-moulded as the second slimmer MagDart charger. 

Will debut on Realme Flash

As was previously leaked, Realme MagDart charging will first debut on Realme Flash, the upcoming Snapdragon 888-powered flagship phone with 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a curved display. The Realme Flash will run on Android 11-based Realme UI 2.1. 

Since iPhones compatible with Magsafe have concentric magnetic rings inside, Realme could be using similar magnetic film on the Flash just so the charging coil can perfectly align with the magnetic wireless charger.

RedmiBook 15 price, specifications leak ahead of India launch

Specifications and India price of the upcoming RedmiBook laptop have surfaced ahead of the August 3 launch. The notebook will allegedly be called the RedmiBook 15 and has similar specs as the variant that launched in Indonesia last week. According to the report, it features a 15.6-inch FHD display, 11th Gen processors, SSD storage, and 8GB RAM. 

RedmiBook 15 Price in India

According to the leak procured by 91Mobiles, the RedmiBook 15 will cost under Rs. 50,000 in India. This isn’t exactly surprising since Xiaomi’s more premium Mi Notebook has four models priced between Rs. 38,999 to Rs. 54,999 in India, where only the flagship model surpasses the 50K mark. 

Xiaomi had earlier confirmed availability on Flipkart in a promotional teaser. We can also safely assume that the RedmiBook 15 will also be available for purchase on Mi.com.

RedmiBook 15 Specifications 

On a promotional page, Xiaomi has confirmed a 15.6-inch display size, Intel 11th gen processors, SSD storage, and hinted at 10 hours of battery backup. The page also reveals the design of the RedmiBook 15 in charcoal black colour with a chicklet keyboard and sizeable bezels. 

According to the leak, the RedmiBook 15 display will have a Full HD display. It will be powered by 11th generation Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors paired with 8GB RAM. Xiaomi will bring two SSD storage options in India - 256GB and 512GB. 

The leak asserts that RedmiBook 15 will ship with a 65W charger in India. Similar to the model introduced in Indonesia, the notebook will include an HD webcam and two 2W speakers with DTS audio. 

As for the software, Redmibook will run on Windows 10 OS, but users will be able to upgrade to Windows 11 once the new version is ready for full release (expected by late November). Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, USB Type-C 3.1, USB Type-A, USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio jack.

Microsoft Windows 11 Public Beta is now available to install

Microsoft has released the first public beta of Windows 11 for Windows Insiders in the Beta channel. The Redmond giant had earlier released the first developer preview of the Windows 11, a few days after the new OS was officially presented. 

Microsoft says that the current Windows 11 build in the Beta channel is more stable and closer to the final build than the latest build in the Developer channel that shares the same build number (22000.100). 

Beta channel builds are for early adopters and are generally deemed safe enough for use on primary PCs. If you are not very tech-savvy, but are eager to try Windows 11 before it is globally available, the Beta should be a decent bet. It should be noted that the final stable version is expected in late November. If you are planning to install the Windows 11 Beta, do know that there will still be bugs and you should back up important data before you proceed. 

How can I install Windows 11 Beta?

First, check if you have a compatible PC. Apart from hardware requirements, you can go to Device Manager >> Security Devices and check if you have Trusted Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0).

Now, go to Settings, open Update & Security and select Windows Insider Program. Click on ‘Get started’ and link your Microsoft Account.  Pick the appropriate channel - Beta in this case. 

Restart your computer, and check for updates under Settings >> Update and Security. 

That’s it. Just download the Windows 11 Beta and follow the rest of the instructions to complete the installation. 

What’s new in Windows 11?

Windows 11 brings forth a cleaner Mac-like design with a centrally aligned start menu and taskbar. Users will be able to access widgets and teams app directly from the taskbar. Microsoft has also added some Xbox features like Auto HDR and DirectStorage for PC gamers. There’s also better support for extended monitors, a snap layout for better multitasking, a new action center, and a modern file explorer. 

Windows 11 will also get support for Android apps, which users will be able to download via the Amazon App store linked to the Windows store.
