PUBG Mobile India remake Battlegrounds Mobile India will be here soon, the beta game released but for limited testers only

Today, Krafton has released the Battlegrounds Mobile India test program. The early access version is now available for download on the Google Play Store. However, the beta game is available to a limited number of testers; the company announced it through its official Facebook page. Prior to this, the much-awaited battle royal game was up for pre-registration only. The updated Official Facebook page has only mentioned access to the Battlegrounds Mobile India beta game, but it did not disclose anything about the limited access to the game. This is why very few people got access to the early version as the beta testing program and it has closed now. Notably, the Indian fans were already waiting when the PUBG Mobile India remake was announced last month and went up for the pre-registrations on May 18.  “BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA Early Access version is now available on Google Play Store! http://bit.ly/BATTLEG_EARLYACCESS_FB Can’t get in? Don’t worry, more slots will be made available frequently. Also, your in-game progress and purchases will be stored and available in the final version of the game” says the updated Facebook page. When Gadget Bridge tried to download the game, we were greeted with an internal server error or said that the limited number of beta testers has reached the maximum. https://twitter.com/sulabhpuri/status/1405398258986278916/photo/1 “Thanks for your interest in becoming a tester for the Battlegrounds Mobile India app. However, at this time the Battlegrounds Mobile India app’s testing program has reached the maximum number of testers that can participate in it and isn’t accepting any testers.” While those who have got early access to the battle royal shared the screenshots. As per the shared screenshot, the game is 721MB in size. It should be noted that the original version is expected to launch on June 18 in India that is tomorrow and the open beta has been released just before the anticipated launch date. However, Krafton, the developer of the PUBG Mobile India remake Battlegrounds Mobile India has not officially announced the exact launch date of the battle royal game.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

OnePlus officially announces merger with Oppo: Everything you should know

The Chinese smartphone companies OnePlus and Oppo have announced a merger to provide better product quality as well as services. CEO Pete Lau has officially declared its partnership with its sister company Oppo, however, OnePlus will continue to operate as a separate brand and Oppo’s sub-brand. Those who are unaware, both the companies are a part of the same parent company BBK Electronics and the OnePlus has always shared support to its sibling as we have already noticed in the design features of Oppo smartphones. The news came through the forum post by CEO Pete Lau who is also the co-founder of this premium smartphone company along with Carl Pei. However, Carl Pei went away to start its own venture Nothing.  The blog post said, “As many of you know, last year I took on some additional responsibilities to oversee product strategy for both OnePlus and OPPO. Since then, we have integrated a number of our teams together with OPPO to better streamline our operations and capitalize on additional shared resources. After seeing a positive impact from those changes, we’ve decided to further integrate our organization with OPPO.” Also Read: OnePlus Nord CE 5G and TV U1S launched in India: Here are all the price and availability details Throwing more light on how both the companies will exactly work on their upcoming products the CEO went on to say that he believes that the integration will bring a positive change for the community as well as for the users and will provide more resources at hand to create even better products, bringing faster and more stable software updates for OnePlus users. Even after this partnership, OnePlus will continue to operate independently. “We will continue launching OnePlus products, holding events (hopefully in person soon) and engaging directly with you for feedback through the same OnePlus channels as before. OnePlus’ commitment to you remains the same.” the OnePlus founder assured. Also read: OnePlus Nord CE 5G Vs Nord Vs Xiaomi Mi 10i: Which one should you go for? Lau further added that “Now, we’re at a turning point for the future of OnePlus. As we’ve begun growing our product portfolio, we’re able to give you more choices than ever before. True to our Never Settle spirit, we want to continue giving you the highest-quality OnePlus experience possible. And to do that, we must adapt as a team and as a brand.” The company did not explicitly state but we have reached the conclusion that with this merger OP aims to expand its product portfolio and bring positive impact to the new users. It should also be noted that OP ships its latest OnePlus 9 Series in China with Oppo’s ColorOS rather than its HydrogenOS.  Also, those who are unaware Vivo, iQOO, Realme, Oppo and OnePlus are also the subsidiaries of BBK Electronics therefore it is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. This merger came when OnePlus is firming its roots in the US market with the launch of the OnePlus 9 and Nord N200 5G.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
