Battlegrounds Mobile India

South Korean developer Krafton has launched Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) exclusively for Indians after the ban of PUBG in India over security reasons. The battle royale game is such an addiction that the gamers usually skip their meals and studies because they get much involved in this game.

In order to promote a healthy game-life balance, Krafton has launched an initiative ‘Game Responsibly’ for BGMI users, especially those below 18 years old, which will enable a level of parental control over the much-loved battle royale game. The ‘Game Responsibly’ feature will allow parents to control their children’s gaming through time limits and OTP confirmation.

Those who are below 18 years of age will be asked to register a parent or guardian before starting playing for the first time. And after that, an OTP will be sent to the registered person’s number, If granted permission, only then the minor will be able to play the game for the next three hours.

With this update, BGMI will have a slew of new features targeted at achieving a healthy game-life balance as well as parental control.

However, with appropriate break-time notifications, the developer has guaranteed that the gamers get the necessary downtime. These reminders will assist them in rising above their game and returning to real life, therefore preserving a good sports-life balance.

Furthermore, players under the age of 18 are not permitted to play for more than 3 hours each day, with stringent playtime limitations. This instantly helps them view gaming as an activity to be done in moderation.

Between October 1 and November 10, Krafton banned 25,19,692 accounts permanently and 7,06,319 temporarily.

A renowned tipster, Evan Blass, has provided enthusiasts with an early look at the design and colour choices of the Samsung Galaxy M35, ahead of its highly anticipated debut in the Indian market. The smartphone is set to arrive in three distinct colour variations – grey, light blue, and dark blue, which show striking similarities with the Galaxy A35, suggesting a possible rebranding strategy by Samsung.

The leaked image showcases the Galaxy M35 with a vertically aligned triple rear camera setup, positioned at the top left corner alongside an LED flash integrated into what appears to be a plastic back. The Galaxy M35 introduces a sleeker and more modern look with a hole punch selfie camera cutout, departing from the water drop style notch seen on its predecessor.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy M35 is expected to boast a substantial 6000mAh battery capacity, surpassing its counterpart, the Galaxy A35, which contains 5000mAh. This enhancement in battery power indicates Samsung’s commitment to delivering extended usage durations for its consumers. 

Moreover, specific specifications are yet to be confirmed by Samsung, but reports suggest that the Galaxy M35 could feature a 6.6-inch display and run on an Exynos 1380 chipset paired with 6 GB of RAM, ensuring seamless performance for users across various tasks and applications. 

Despite bearing a resemblance to the Galaxy A35, the leaked image also highlights subtle differences between the two models, notably in the design of the volume and power buttons, as well as the location of the SIM tray. Such nuances indicate the potential distinction in user experience and functionality between the two devices.

As excitement grows for the upcoming release of the Samsung Galaxy M35, fans and tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for more information from the company about the phone’s specifications, price, and when it will be available. Stay tuned for more updates in the days or weeks leading up to the official unveiling of the Galaxy M35.
