Here’s How Microsoft Plans to Bring Call of Duty: Warzone to the Nintendo Switch

As per a recent filing to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), Microsoft has shed some light on how it plans to bring Call of Duty games to the Nintendo Switch. The tech giant recently signed a binding 10-year agreement with Activision Blizzard to bring Call of Duty games to Nintendo users on par with Xbox players. In its filing, Microsoft presents two key points to support its argument that games like Warzone and Modern Warfare II can be brought to the Switch.

Call of Duty Mobile

Firstly, Microsoft claims that the engine behind Warzone has already been optimized to run on devices with lower performance specifications than the Switch, such as the Xbox One from 2015 and PC GPUs released as far back as 2015. Secondly, Microsoft highlighted Activision’s history of optimizing game performance for available hardware capabilities, citing examples such as Apex Legends, Doom Eternal, and Fortnite which have successfully worked on the Switch.

Sony has been quite vocal in its opposition to Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, citing concerns that the tech giant will undermine Call of Duty on PlayStation. While Microsoft has offered Sony a 10-year agreement for Call of Duty, Sony has yet to accept it.

Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard has raised concerns among regulators, and the CMA is set to make a final ruling on the deal by April 26th. Despite opposition from Sony and the FTC in the US, the European Union is expected to approve the merger following Microsoft’s agreement to bring Call of Duty and other games to Nintendo and GeForce Now platforms. With a copious amount of documents and information to review, the CMA will have a lot to consider before making its decision.

Meanwhile, Call of Duty fans can look forward to an upcoming crossover event featuring Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, scheduled for release on March 21st.

Samsung Galaxy M14 5G Appears on Company’s Indian Support Page, Could Launch Soon

Earlier this month, Samsung quietly launched the Galaxy M14 5G smartphone in Ukraine. The device offers decent mid-range specs like an FHD+ LCD notched display, the Exynos 1330 chipset, and a massive 6000mAh battery. Now, it looks like this smartphone will soon make its Indian debut as it has appeared on the official support page.

Samsung

The support page has listed the Galaxy M14 5G, identifiable by the model number SM-146B/DS. This is the same model number with which the device debuted in Ukraine. The same model number was also spotted on BIS listing recently. The support page listing does not reveal anything specs related. However, we have a fair idea of what to expect.

Samsung Galaxy M14 5G specs

The Galaxy M14 5G boasts a 6.6-inch PLS LCD display with an Infinity-V notch design, offering an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. It runs on the Android 13 OS with One UI Core 5 preinstalled.

Samsung

Powered by a 2.4GHz octa-core processor, the M14 5G likely uses the Exynos 1330 chipset found in the A14 5G. It has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, with the option to expand storage up to 1TB using an external microSD card.

The phone has a 13-megapixel front-facing camera and a rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The primary camera can record Full HD videos at 30 fps.

The device features a 6,000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging, surpassing the A14 5G’s 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging. Additional features include 5G connectivity, dual SIM support, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, GPS, a USB-C port, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The M14 5G measures 166.8 x 77.2 x 9.4mm and weighs approximately 206 grams.

Call of Duty May be Ruined for PlayStation if Microsoft Buys Activision, Says Sony

In a recent response to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), Sony expressed its ongoing opposition to Microsoft’s planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Sony voiced concerns that Microsoft’s takeover could potentially impact the performance and quality of Call of Duty on PlayStation, resulting in fans switching to Xbox. The fear is that Microsoft could intentionally or unintentionally release a version of the game on PlayStation where bugs and errors emerge only on the game’s final level or after later updates, leading to a loss of confidence in PlayStation as a go-to venue to play Call of Duty.

Call of Duty

Sony stated that there would be no viable way for it or the CMA to assess how Microsoft chooses to allocate its resources and the quality/quantity of engineers it devotes to the PlayStation version of Call of Duty to ensure that Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) would be treated fairly and equally. However, degrading the quality of Call of Duty on PlayStation would not be the wisest course of action, as it would likely lead to a bigger backlash against Microsoft and Activision than Sony.

Microsoft, on the other hand, noted in its response to the CMA that it has offered to provide Sony with parity on release date, content, features, upgrades, quality, and playability with the Xbox platform. The catch is that Sony must accept Microsoft’s proposed 10-year agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation, and Microsoft would be willing to agree to a third-party assessor to oversee the platform uniformity for the sake of the game.

In addition, Sony’s letter also reiterated its concern that Microsoft would make Call of Duty a Game Pass exclusive, thus away from PlayStation. However, Microsoft refuted this claim, stating that it made zero business sense to take Call of Duty off of PlayStation.

The CMA is set to make a final ruling on the deal by April 26th. Reports suggest that the European Union is set to give the merger the green light following news that Microsoft will bring Call of Duty and other games to Nintendo and GeForce Now platforms.

Spotify’s Redesigned Homescreen Looks Like TikTok, Instagram & YouTube Combined

Spotify has announced a redesigned homescreen that aims to help users discover new content, including video podcasts and other forms of audio. The update features a feed that is more image-heavy and vertical-scrolling, which resembles the layout of social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. The redesign comes as Spotify seeks to position itself as more than just a music app, with CEO Daniel Ek hoping to attract over 50 million “audio creators” to the platform. Spotify has invested heavily in podcasts, audiobooks, and live audio in recent years, and the redesign reflects the company’s broader ambitions.

Spotify

The homescreen update will showcase autoplaying video podcasts and large photos, providing more information about playlists and podcasts. The app’s top section will still feature album and playlist covers, but users can now tap on “Music” or “Podcasts & Shows” to access a vertically scrolling feed that resembles Instagram Stories, TikTok or YouTube Shorts. The new feature allows users to quickly preview songs and playlists without diving in fully, with each item autoplaying to provide a sense of what it is. The redesign also emphasizes getting users into new things, offering them more opportunities to discover new content.

Spotify’s new design reflects the company’s desire to be the leading audio platform, and the new personalized AI is another example of this ambition. The Smart Shuffle feature, which temporarily adds tracks to existing playlists, is designed to improve the “just for you playlist” idea that Spotify has been working on for years. Additionally, DJ, an AI that spins records and hosts personalized radio shows, is another step in Spotify’s quest to become the preferred audio platform.

Spotify’s redesign shows the company’s determination to be more than just a music app. The update aims to make the app more navigable and provide more opportunities for users to discover new content, including video podcasts and other forms of audio. The design reflects the company’s broader ambitions and desire to be at the forefront of music streaming, providing users with more personalized AI features to enhance their experience.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 External Display Size Confirmed

When it comes to mobile devices, Samsung has always been at the forefront of innovation, and its newest product, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, is no exception. For a long time, the brand has dominated the foldable smartphone market. But, the recent release of the Honor Magic Vs fold provided strong competition to Samsung. Nevertheless, the next Galaxy Z Fold5’s exterior display size has been leaked online.

Fans of Samsung who are awaiting the next generation of foldable smartphones may be in for a surprise. According to Ice Universe, a renowned leaker, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have the same 6.2-inch external display as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. This information was posted on Twitter by Ice Universe.  He did not provide any other details or evidence to back up his assertion, but he has a history of revealing accurate information about Samsung products.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 was released in August 2021 and garnered excellent feedback from both critics and users. It had a 6.2-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch main screen, both with OLED displays and 120Hz refresh rates. It also had an under-display camera on the main screen, which added to the immersion and seamlessness of the experience. According to reports, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be released in late 2023 or early 2024. The device’s pricing is unknown, although it could be comparable to or somewhat higher than the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which cost $1,799 at launch.

The news of the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s identical outer display size may disappoint some consumers who were looking for a larger or more edge-to-edge cover screen. Others, on the other hand, may applaud Samsung’s attempts to improve the durability and performance of its foldable gadget, which is still a fresh and creative technology.

Samsung isn’t the only business working on foldable phones. In recent years, competitors such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Motorola have also developed or announced their own versions of foldable devices. Yet, Samsung’s Galaxy Z series continues to be the market leader in this class. It will be interesting to watch how long Samsung remains the market leader. That concludes the topic.

The low-end budget car which is unofficially referred to as Tesla Model 2 will be smaller and cheaper than Tesla Model 3 which at around $42,990 is the cheapest EV offered by the company.  Experts speculate that Model 2 will come with a 25% smaller battery and 15% smaller body as compared to Model 3. It will also be 30% lighter than Model 3.

Since its inception, Tesla customers and fans have lamented about the need for a budget EV from the company. The cheapest vehicle is the Model 3 Sedan which costs around $43,000. While there was a time when you could buy the base variant of Model 3 for $35,000, today the base model is priced at $43,000. However, Tesla claims that the net cost after tax credits and gas savings for the Model 3 base variant in California comes to around $29,000 and the Model 3 base variant is already offered at a competitive price and is cheaper than the famous Toyota Corolla. 

The company is planning to launch its budget car for less than $30,000. Tesla has always run its business on the philosophy of making them better and cheaper at the same time. The company is essentially trying to convert a car into a computer and use advanced technology, to not only improve the performance of the vehicle but also make it cost-effective. Though the company has not always achieved this goal, with the Model 2 budget EV it plans to launch a smaller, cheaper, and better car than before.
