Microsoft and Bluehole have finally released PUBG v1.0 for the Xbox One and the Xbox One X, bringing a number of new features to the console version of the game, including the smaller Sanhok map which was released on PC a while ago. Along with the new map, the update brings some new weapons, a new vehicle and the game's first-ever Sanhok Event Pass. As part of the Sanhok Event pass, players will be able to unlock a number of cosmetic items as they complete missions. While the free version of the event pass is available to all players, there's $9.99 premium version which unlocks even more goodies and missions. With the update, achievements have also made their way to PUBG on Xbox.

A device powered by an unidentified Qualcomm chipset - codenamed  ‘msmnile’ - has been spotted on Geekbench. Believed to be the Snapdragon 855, the SoC was paired with 6GB of RAM in the test device that was running Android Pie. As can be seen in the accompanying image, the test device got a single-core score of 3,697 and a multi-core score of 10,469, both of which are significantly better than the Snapdragon 845. The same SoC was also spotted at HTML5test, where its Chrome browser (Dev version 68.0.3440.91) scored 510 out of a possible 555 points.

Xiaomi co-founder and president Lin Bin has been taunting other brands (and teasing consumers) with how awesome the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is going to be. First the Oppo Find X-like pop-up camera now 5G support. His latest photo shows the phone with its status bar reading “5G”. The phone is in front of what appears to be a 5G testing station, “NR5G” refers to to the 5G New Radio standard, which encompass the sub-6GHz and mmWave technologies. The N257 band specifically is in the 28GHz band, so it’s mmWave tech (the faster, but shorter range of the two technologies). Qualcomm already has two modems that support the new 5G standards and promise speeds up to 2Gbps and 5Gbps.
