So what makes this version of Pac-Man different? At least when compared to the good old classic, this is both a co-op and competitive game. Co-operative in the sense that you’re all trying to survive not getting ended by the ghosts, and competitive because you’re still fighting for the highest score. And being a Facebook version of the game, Pac-Man Community has all the other extra social features. This ranges from community-made levels, as well as the ability for Streamers on Facebook Gaming to invite viewers to join games....

Most of these have to do with industrial and enterprise applications, though. But as you probably know, we were at Vivo’s booth to see what the company has to show us. In general, there seems to be a lot of improving existing tech using 5G. For example, there’s the the expansion of smart home and IoT applications from WiFi networks to 5G. As part of this, there’s the video game streaming via 5G, much like Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud....

The first game in this month’s highlight is WipEout Omega Collection. This is essentially a remaster of two games, WipEout HD, a PS3 game, and WipEout 2048 for the PS Vita. The former also contains content from older WipEout games from 2005 and 2007. Next is Chronicles of Teddy: Harmony of Exodus.

A list of all the previous Pokémon and their returning status has been posted on ResetEra.

And there are a few very notable ones that are absent as well. For example, the Charmander line is the only returning line of starter Pokémon to make the cut....

The listing for the Xperia 1 was spotted on Clove Technology, an online retailer based in the UK. The product page lists down the phone in just one variant, which runs on 6GB RAM and has 128GB of expandable storage. It also offers users a choice to pre-order the phone in one of its four colours; black, white, grey, or purple. Interestingly, the site also more or less confirms the Xperia 1’s slated launch date....

Chinese tech website Mydrivers claims to have obtained a promotional photo featuring the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, which showcases the device’s rear design. Unlike the standard variant, the Pro is shown to feature a different camera array with four sensors instead of three. While the image itself did not reveal any details regarding the sensors, it does appear that the fourth shooter to be a camera with periscope capability. The inscription below the camera itself suggests that it is able to achieve up to 120x zoom – likely through hybrid or digital means rather than optical....

It’s worth noting that the second game is listed as the PS5 free game of the month, so if you were looking forward to it but don’t have the console, then you’re out of luck....

The leak came via a post on ResetEra, in the form of three images showing what may be the Russian UI of the PS5. As is common with such leaks, the images themselves aren’t of the best quality. The UI being in Russian doesn’t help either, and there’s the matter of the presence of a mouse cursor. But from them, we’d guess they are showcasing the capture gallery of the console, using 3....

In addition to 90fps support, PUBG Mobile will also be getting support for true 10-bit HDR. As it is currently, the game only has a simulated HDR. Of course, you’ll need a phone that supports both 90fps and HDR to be able to make use of these. Other games will be pushing into 120Hz territory. Some games will even go all the way to support 144hz displays. Neither Qualcomm nor PUBG Mobile’s publisher has shared a timeline as to when the update that brings these new features will roll out....

Players can purchase loot crates in PUBG with Battle Points (BP), but it is always randomised to which type of loot crate a player could receive. Also keep in mind that all of the cosmetic content rewards provided in them are also randomised. Aside from the variety of loot crates offered by the game, one such variant obtainable from BP purchase is the locked crate which requires specific keys for them to be unlocked....

However, this does not mean the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 is taking over Snapdragon mobile chips as the new de facto processor for gaming phones though. While manufacturers are free to choose whatever chip they need to power their gaming-oriented phone, Qualcomm said that the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 would allow it to go beyond the smartphone form factor. In other words, the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 would not have to adjust to constraints that smartphones may have such as pocketability, size, and thermal limits....

Qualcomm says that it began developing Snapdragon Sound after last year’s State of Play Report suggested that audio quality was a key deciding factor when purchasing a smartphone. Considering that it already has chipset performance down to tee, it makes sense that its next focus would be audio. Breaking it down, Snapdragon Sound is a combination of several of Qualcomm’s audio technologies, including its aptX Adaptive audio technology, which provides 24-bit word depth and 96kHz sampling frequency, for what it calls “audiophile-quality music” wirelessly....

One of the earlier and more prominent ones came from Avixes, or Mohamad Amirul Mohamad. He leads the Southeast Asian Rainbow 6 Siege team, under Lese Esports. Using public DNS does not solve the issue either. According to a followup by the official unifi Twitter account, it looks like there were more who have faced this issue.

Despite the way Razer sells it, the Blackwidow Lite is very much still a gaming-grade mechanical keyboard. It comes with Razer Orange switches which act as a hybrid between silent and tactile keys, much like Cherry MX Brown. To add on to the office-appropriate quietness are o-rings to further dampen the sound of the keys. It’s also the most compact keyboard the company has ever made, or so the Razer claims....

Naturally, having the Chroma RGB lighting, it’s probably the flashiest phone cooler out there, with 12 RGB LEDs. In addition to those, there’s a seven-bladed fan inside that spins up to 6400rpm, with a noise profile of 30dB. Beyond those, there’s an aluminum heat sink, and an electronic Peltier cooling tile. That being said, there doesn’t seem to be a battery, so it will have to draw power via a USB-C cable....
