The streaming service joins Disney+ Hotstar Premium, Zee5, Hungama Play, Eros Now, ShemarooMe, Voot Select, Voot Kids, SonyLIV, and Curiosity Stream on the platform.

Google Play Store is now displaying the option to download games on Windows PCs directly

We already talked about how Google is planning on taking Android games cross-platform in 2022 with its Play Games app (reportedly under development), but even before that happens, the game Lineage2M by NCsoft is showing a “Download on Windows” option on Play Store. 

The option is apparently visible to everyone checking the app in Play Store on Windows PC. This works using a custom Purple emulator developed by the game developer NCsoft, but it’s still very unusual that Google has the option for direct download showing up in Play Store. 

Clicking the button downloads a .exe file for Windows and the setup walks you through installing the game and the Purple emulator. 

The Windows OS and requirements are also mentioned in the Playstore listing. Users will need Windows 8 or higher running on a PC powered by Intel i5 processor (3.0GHz) with 8 GB RAM, 4GB VRAM, Geforce GTX9xx series GPU or higher, and at least 10GB storage. 

At the very least, this is an interesting development and it would be cool if users had the option to download other apps and games in a similar manner. Google has also asked developers to optimize their games for PC and it’s likely that we will see some major announcement on the front sooner rather than later. 

A great year for mobile gamers?

Google first announced that it will bring in a Google Play Games app for Windows laptops, tablets and PCs in 2022 at the Game Awards held on December 9. The seamless gameplay switching from Android to Windows will work via a Google Play Games app. 

Of course, Google isn’t the only one working on such a cross-platform solution. Microsoft has partnered with Amazon to build an Android app layer in Windows 11. And emulators like BlueStacks have existed since forever and particularly focus on smooth gaming performance.

Sony launches SRS-NB10 and SRS-NS7 Wireless Neckband Speaker along with WLA-NS7 Wireless Transmitter

Sony India, on the 24th of January 2022, launched two new wireless neckband speakers – the SRS-NB10 and the SRS-NS7  along with the WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter, allowing users an immersive work from home as well as home entertainment experience. 

The lightweight design of both speakers is IPX4 rated, ensuring that they are splash-resistant and can be used while performing daily chores around the house as well as working out without worrying. Furthermore, both the SRS-NB10 and the SRS-NS7 support quick charging and can be charged for ten minutes via a USB Type-C cable, allowing up to an hour extra of playback time.

SRS-NB10 Wireless Neckband Speaker Specifications 

The SRS-NB10 features a full-range speaker unit angled upwards, which optimises sound towards the user’s ears alone. Along with this, it also has embedded radiators at the back of the unit to boost the bass.

Sony’s SRS-NB10 speakers also come equipped with Sony’s Precise Voice Pickup Technology. Two directional microphones in the speaker minimise echo and ambient noise and deliver clear voice quality.

The SRS-NB10 has a microphone mute button, as well as touch-sensitive volume rockers and a pause/play button.

The SRS-NB10 provides users with up to 20 hours of playback time on a single charge and supports quick charging as well.

Equipped with Sony’s unique X-Balanced Speaker Unit, Sony’s SRS-NS7 has an optimum speaker size in a compact body which helps in increased sound pressure and reduces distortion of vocals. 

Sony’s SRS-NS7 speakers can be used by connecting the WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter to the television with an optical cable and a USB cable and pairing the SRS-NS7 to it via Bluetooth. In addition to the SRS-NS7 speakers, the WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter also supports Sony’s WF-1000XM3, WH-1000XM4, WH-XB700, and WI-1000XM2 headphone models.

Exclusive: OnePlus Nord 2T to come with Dimensity 1300, 80W fast charging and 50MP triple camera stack

OnePlus Nord 2T is an upcoming mid-range phone from OnePlus that builds upon the legacy of the Nord 2. The original Nord sold like hotcakes when it launched back in 2020 and OnePlus doubled it up in the following year with the Nord CE and Nord 2. Now, as expected the OnePlus Nord 2T is all set to launch in India very soon and today we are sharing its key specifications.

Oneplus Nord 2T vs OnePlus Nord 2

As per OnLeaks, the Nord 2T has a Full HD+ display and is powered by the Dimensity 1300 chipset. The Dimensity 1300 is yet to go official but going by MediaTek’s track record you can expect a bump in performance over the 6nm Dimensity 1200. The display on the Nord 2 is seemingly carried over to the Nord 2T, going by the dimensions.

However, one of the key highlights of the Nord 2T is its support for 80W fast charging out-of-the-box. While the Nord 2 arrived with support for 65W fast charging, it wasn’t until the OnePlus 10 Pro which was recently launched in China, where OnePlus officially introduced 80W Warp Charging. 

The camera stack largely remains the same as the Nord 2 though we’re expecting some sensor upgrades. Here’s everything you need to know about the OnePlus Nord 2T.

OnePlus Nord 2 was launched in July 2021 in India

OnePlus Nord 2T leaked specifications

The OnePlus Nord 2T features a 6.43-inch Full HD+ (2400x1080 pixels) resolution display which likely uses an AMOLED panel. The screen supports a 90Hz refresh rate and may or may not have a punch-hole notch cutout for the selfie camera.

The Nord 2T is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset which is going to be paired with 6GB/8GB/128GB RAM along with 128GB/256GB storage options to choose from. The phone will likely run on OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12.

The OnePlus Nord 2T has a triple camera array on the back headlined by a 50MP camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP monochrome sensor. On the front, we get a 32MP selfie camera.

As for the battery, the Nord 2T is tipped to come equipped with a 4,500mAh battery that supports 80W SuperVOOC fast wired charging.

It remains to be seen when the Nord 2T launches in India but as per some rumours, OnePlus could launch a Nord phone in February.
