Way back in the 1990’s video rentals were the best places to get movies to binge-watch. However, the movie rental industry has been slowly become extinct due to the changes in technology.  

Some video rentals have been shut down. In 2017, about 86% of 15,300 video stores that were open in the United States.  One of the popular video rentals is RedBox. Unlike its competitors, it dares to enter the streaming market. Will it survive today’s competition?

Redbox, the video and game rental company is switching to a free streaming service platform. It’s now showing its fangs after video rentals have been declining at a steady rate. It’s mainly in line with the fact that renting videos, or DVDs are no longer a convenient option when the vast majority of consumers tend to stream or watch it online. As Redbox mainly focused its market on their video and game kiosks nationwide, it’s clear that this is not a time for it any longer.

Last December, the company confirmed it was indeed exiting the video game rental business, which prompted a large sale to clear most of the inventory space.  The change is indeed a pivot point for the video rental company as they now switch to the more modern age of TV, which is streaming, and they have recognized the potential in this market. Thankfully the transition is going smoothly with more devices and more shows to be added in the future.

How to watch Redbox?

You’re able to watch the ad-supported service for now with your browser or through the company’s dedicated iPhone and Android apps. Will come to more devices in the near future as they quietly launched this service for just a while back. You don’t even need to sign-in! The channels aren’t so special; however, it’s the choices that make you stay, same as other streaming sites.

What you can watch on Redbox?

It lets you choose from a number of genres like Comedy, National or World News, Favorites, and etc. TMZ, America’s Funniest Home Videos, Family Feud, and the like are what you can expect from the service FOR NOW. More to come is on the way, so just be patient if you’re into a freebie given to you from the company.

Redbox was able to fill the void when Sony’s own streaming service shut down a month ago, along with establishing itself as a streaming service worth the wait when the time comes. Not only do they just focus on their streaming service, but it lets you redeem reward points if you pay a little extra for a premium service. Use the reward points to get a discount if you’re an avid fan of DVD or Bluray, which is never a bad thing when you have a physical copy of your favorite movie.

Whatever the reason for the change of service, it is good to know that the company is not scared of investing in resources for the future. Which only means brighter things for the consumers and the company. Let us know in the comment sections about it.

Yes, you heard it right, Call of Duty will return in 2020. Exciting isn’t it? if you are a fan of the call of duty game. The annual franchise is still annual, and Activision will keep its record for another year.

Who could have predicted this? Not surprisingly, Activision Blizzard has confirmed that a new Call of Duty game will be coming in 2020; However, interestingly, the company has not yet confirmed which team is developing the title.

Furthermore, for eight years, Activision Blizzard has maintained a strict pattern. When it comes to the Call of the Duty development cycle. Then, in the quarterly call of Activision in February 2019. The editor remained shy about which of its developers is working on the Call of Duty game scheduled for 2020. It was speculated that something unexpected might be happening this time.

While the deepen what might be in process for the Call of Duty of 2020, we will have to review several years of the history of Call of Duty and examine how Activision has traditionally handled the revelations for the franchise.

Activision has managed to release a new Call of Duty game every year since Call of Duty 2 of 2005 (although I could argue that, technically, a new game has come out every year since the beginning of the 2004 Call of Duty is counted: Finest Hour, the console version of the original PC game 2003).

In addition, there are currently four Activision studies associated with the development of Call of Duty: Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games. The first two have been pillars, while the last two initially served as support studies.

For Sledgehammer, that changed in the last decade, as Activision made the developer the main studio behind Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Call of Duty: WWII. Let us know what you think in the comment section about what are your expectations from the call of duty 2020?

It’s here! The Realme smartphone company is launching a brand-new smartphone. The Realme X50 Pro 5G will launch on February 24 in the company’s first participation in the Mobile World Congress.

The next smartphone is predicted to strengthen the company’s position in the 5G market that is rapidly catching up worldwide. The Realme X50 Pro will be the company’s second kitty smartphone to support 5G, along with other premium-level bells and whistles. Realme had previously announced that he will attend the technology exhibition that will begin in Barcelona later this month.

Realme will hold its MWC 2020 event at 9:30 a.m. CET, which translates at 2:00 p.m. IST, Monday, February 24. Realme X50 Pro 5G will catch your eyes at the event, but there is another product that will mark Realme’s entry into the home entertainment category, Realme TV. It has been announced that Realme TV will debut at the event, but information about it is quite scarce at this time. That’s why we see what the Realme X50 Pro 5G will be about.

Realme X50 Pro 5G will be essentially a fixed version of the Realme X50 5G, which was launched in China at some point. The latter was the first 5G smartphone of the brand that is aggressively pushing smartphones into differentiated categories depending on the specifications. The Realme X50 5G works with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor that comes with an integrated 5G modem.

For the Realme X50 Pro 5G, the brand goes with the flagship-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor compatible with the Snapdragon X55 5G modem. It will be one of the first smartphones with the Snapdragon 865 processor.

To remember, Qualcomm had announced, at the fourth Qualcomm Snapdragon Technology Summit last year, that Realme will be one of the first smartphone brands to launch smartphones with Snapdragon 765G and Snapdragon 865 5G mobile platforms.

PS5 and Xbox Series X will arrive later this year, announcing the next generation of the console games life cycle. Seven years have passed since the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One.

So naturally, players are incredibly excited at the prospect of having a next-generation gaming machine under their Christmas trees.

However, there may be a problem that affects the gaming industry. Nintendo has already publicly announced that they have supply problems, but PS5 and Xbox Series X are silent about it, for now. PS5 and Xbox Series X could be delayed due to Coronavirus

The PS5 and Xbox Series X could be delayed due to the Coronavirus, an analyst speculated. The global epidemic could affect Sony and Microsoft consoles as a result of the quarantine of employees in China, with more than 37,500 confirmed infections worldwide.

Furthermore, previously Nintendo warned of a stock problem with the Nintendo Switch, due to the outbreak of coronavirus. it instantly became clear that the problems for game companies would not necessarily end there.

As we know that more than 90% of all console hardware is manufactured in China and production is currently increasing for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. It means that the disruption caused by the outbreak could delay the launch of consoles this fall. As a result, the financial services company Jefferies Group has already warned investors about a delay for the start of the next generation, as well as the ongoing stock problems with the Switch and the new iPhone. “The video game sector is currently manufacturing, or is beginning to make, a product generation change once in several years for the 2020 holiday season,” says the Jefferies Group note.

‘If the company closures exceed approximately one month, game schedules will be delayed. The new consoles may also suffer supply problems due to a prolonged interruption, prior to their planned releases for the fall of 2020. According to Business Insider, the infamous manufacturing.”

Furthermore, as we know that the production is huge in China and it is badly affecting tech companies. So we expect the official date soon or later as we are approaching near to the release date.

The Huawei just introduce another super budget-friendly smartphone with an amazing camera and battery life. The Huawei Y7p works with the Kirin 710F SoC paired with 4 GB of RAM. It runs EMUI 9.1 based on Android Factory Pie and comes with 64 GB of onboard storage. There is also a microSD card slot, which allows storage expansion of up to 512 GB.

The Y7p is built around a 6.39 “HD + LCD that has a hole in the upper left corner for the 8MP selfie camera. On the back, you get a fingerprint reader and a triple camera setup, which is a combination of 48MP main, 8MP and 2MP ultra-wide depth sensor units.

The smartphone with Kirin 710F technology comes in Aurora Blue and Midnight Black colors and has a 4,000 mAh battery that consumes power through a 10W micro USB port.

The main camera system consists of a 48MP main camera with an ultra-wide 8MP camera and a 2MP depth sensor. Pretty standard things here. A selfie camera is an 8MP unit. It has the standard 4000 mAh battery that we have seen in many Huawei phones. This battery can be charged at 10W through a micro USB port.

While this exciting new phone runs on the EMUI 9.1 on Android 9 Pie, which is quite disappointing since many Huawei phones run Android 10. But in this price range, it is a great option with good and decent features. This phone was priced at 4,999 Thai baht (Kshs 16,000) which is similar to the price of the Y7 Prime. The low-budget smartphone market is quite competitive and Huawei needs a phone like this to compete effectively. In addition, the main camera and its CPU could be its combo of great functions to attract people to buy it.
