Riot Games’ digital collectible card game, ‘ Legends of Runterra ‘, is finally out of beta. Set in the world of ‘League of Legends’ (LoL), Runeterra is a strategy card game where players will have to use their skill and creativity to succeed. As is to be expected, the game includes some of the hottest characters from LoL, like Yasuo, Jinx, Ashe, Garen, Teemo, Darius and Zed. The game, which might remind many of Blizzard’s Hearthstone , requires players to bring a deck of 40 pre-selected cards into a match to face off against an opponent. They’ll then need to choose their preferred champions and combine their cards from different regions to build the perfect deck. To win, a player will need to reduce the health of their opponent’s Nexus from 20 down to zero. As part of the official launch, Riot also released the game’s first expansion called ‘Rising Tides’ that adds Bilgewater – a new region where pirates plunder with impunity and sea monsters devour entire ships in the blink of a...

Apple today reported $58.3 billion in revenue for the first fiscal quarter of this year. In a conference call with analysts, Apple CEO Tim Cook made some bold statements regarding the newly announced iPhone SE . When senior analyst Samik Chatterjee from JP Morgan asked if the company expects any change in terms of the geographic mix of where the demand comes from, Tim Cook said the device could perform even better in areas with comparatively lower median income. Cook anticipates a “fair number” of people switching to iOS , saying its an “unbelievable offer”. He then went ahead and claimed the handset is “faster than the fastest Android phones” . “I would expect to see it doing it even better in areas where the median incomes are less. And so we’ll see how that plays out in. And I expect some fair number of people switching over to iOS. It’s an unbelievable offer. It’s, if you will, the engine of our top phones in a very affordable package. And it’s faster than the fastest Android p...

Ubisoft last night showcased the first official cinematic trailer for the upcoming entry into the company’s massively popular franchise of open world games — Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. As the name suggests, the game is set between Vikings and English soldiers. Players will take on the role of Eivor, a Viking raider leading his or her clans “from the harsh shores of Norway to a new home amid the lush farmlands of ninth-century England.”  The game will give players the choice to play with Eivor as a male or a female character, along with customisation options. That sounds like a great idea, and one that more games should start implementing. Along with the main campaign of leading your clans to England, the game will also feature side activities, including hunting, fishing, drinking games, and what Ubisoft calls “verbally devastating rivals through the art of the Viking rap battle.” The game continues Ubisoft’s practice of making the Assassin’s Creed games feel more RPG-like, comp...

Earlier this month, the Indian government launched its coronavirus tracking app ‘Aarogya Setu’. According to reports from LiveMint and News18 citing industry sources and government officials, the app may be installed by default on new smartphones and its registration might be mandatory to start using the phone . “To enforce this decision, the government of India looks set to appoint nodal agencies that will be the point of contact for smartphone companies, and will be responsible to have the app installed without a skippable step for all new devices. This will make the Aarogya Setu app an inbuilt feature on all new smartphones, that will be sold in India going forward.”, states the report. From this, it appears like smartphone OEMs would be asked to add software-based restrictions to lock users out of their phones unless they register their phones with Aarogya Setu during the initial smartphone setup process. At the time of writing this article, the government has not made an of...

Xiaomi launched the first-ever 108MP penta-camera phone, the Mi Note 10 , last year. It truly packs in a versatile camera array, along with a premium design. The company now wants to extend this to a wider audience with the launch of its younger sibling – the Mi Note 10 Lite in Europe today. Mi Note 10 Lite does share some similarities with its elder sibling but it brings along a different camera setup altogether. Mi Note 10 Lite: Specs and Features Mi Note 10 Lite features a 6.47-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with curved edges on both sides. The panel boasts a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 1080 x 2340 resolution, HDR10 support, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top. It does not support a higher refresh rate, which is just saddening. Just like its elder sibling, this smartphone is also powered by the Snapdragon 730G chipset that’s found on a myriad of mid-range phones like the Realme X2 and Redmi K20 . This means it does not have 5G connectivity support. There’s up to 8GB of RAM and 128G...

Xiaomi first launched the Redmi Note 9 series in India earlier last month. It included the Redmi Note 9 Pro  and Note 9 Pro Max but the standard Redmi Note 9 was missing in action. Well, the wait has finally come to an end though. Xiaomi took the wraps off the Redmi Note 9 in Europe today. It imbibes the same design philosophy as its elder siblings and has been equipped with a new gaming-centric MediaTek chipset, quad-cameras, and a massive battery. Redmi Note 9: Specs and Features Starting off with the design, Redmi Note 9 flaunts a polycarbonate build as opposed to the glass build of the Pro variants. This is a step back in comparison to its predecessor, but it makes sense if you want to lower the price tag. How do you distinguish between the Redmi Note 9 and its Pro counterparts? There are two obvious giveaways. The easiest is the punch-hole placement. It sits at the center on Redmi Note 9 Pro whereas Redmi Note 9 has it at the top left. Second, the fingerprint scanner plac...

Xiaomi’s lineup of Mi TVs pretty much started the low-cost smart TV trend in the Indian television market, and the company has a huge Mi TV line-up in India and in its home country of China. However, even though its TV portfolio is pretty big, Xiaomi still only offers HDR10+, even on its highest end televisions. So far, there has been no Dolby Vision certification for the company, but that might be changing soon. According to a Weibo post made by the General Manager of Xiaomi’s TV department (via Gizmochina), a Xiaomi TV with model number L65M5-OD has received design certification from Dolby Laboratories Inc. As the model number clearly implies — the TV is going to be a 65-inch offering from Xiaomi. Moreover, the ‘OD’ might refer to an OLED panel. Both these things, along with the Dolby Vision certification hint towards an expensive, high-end Mi TV offering from Xiaomi that will likely compete against the best-in-class TVs in the market (mostly Sony, LG, and Samsung’s offerings). X...

Video conferencing and online classes are globally on the rise due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic , which means webcams are important pieces of hardware all of a sudden. Despite various advancements in technology, the quality of inbuilt webcams on a majority of laptops is still not up to the mark and that results in an inferior video calling experience. Moreover, high-quality webcams are becoming scarce in the market due to increasing demand. With all this in mind, Canon has released a new software dubbed EOS Webcam Utility Beta that lets Windows 10 users utilize supported Canon cameras for video calls . With EOS Webcam Utility Beta, you can plug in your compatible Canon camera to your Windows 10 PC through a USB cable and use it as your primary webcam across popular video-conferencing platforms. “Built by Canon software developers, this beta version software helps consumers to improve their video appearance while using popular video conferencing applications in the market, del...
