You’d agree when I say that PUBG Mobile has in a very small amount of time become one of the most downloaded and well-known multiplayer games for mobile phones.

With over 32 million daily active users it is one of the most-played games today. It recently recorded a revenue of over a billion dollars globally.

But, like every other game, PUBG also has competitors in the market, which offer a similar gaming experience. However, they haven’t been able to dethrone the Tencent-owned game for a while now.

At the Google I/O 2019, amid all the big product unveilings, the search giant announced that more than 2.5 billion devices are running on Android globally. This is an increase of 500 million devices in two years, the last time Google made this revelation.

However, this impressive feat gets shadowed by the fact that merely 10 percent of the total devices mentioned are running on the latest Android 9 (Pie) version. While the growth is visible compared to the numbers of Oreo from 2018, Google still faces a huge task to match up to its competition, that is Apple.

Airtel’s latest offering for the internet users in India pertains to its 4G Wi-Fi router and if you don’t want to spend on buying it as well as data, this new deal might work out best for you.

The telco has started a new plan, mentioned on its website, which lets you pay Rs 399 per month to use the Wi-Fi dongle (not own it) and get 50GB data 3G/4G depending on where you are. The unused data gets carried forward to next month, but once you exhaust your quota of 50GB for the month, the speed will come down to 80kbps.

This goes up against Reliance Jio’s own dongle offer, that comes for Rs 999 (totally yours) and you pay much less to get more amount of data.
