Pokemon Go To Allow Players To Switch Teams, But Not For Free

Now, approximately two years after it rolled out, Pokemon Go will finally permit players to switch teams. However, that option is not going to be free. Niantic announced that it would add a new item called Team Medallion to the Pokemon Go in-game shop, which would make it possible for the gamers to change their teams once a year.

Pokemon Go To Allow Players To Switch Teams

Team Medallion would go live on February 26th and would cost 1,000 PokeCoins. That’s quite a fair price, overall, since 1,200 PokeCoin cost $10. But choose wisely before using Team Medallion because once you use it, you’ll not be able to buy a new one and change your team again for one year.

After a new player begins playing Pokemon Go, the game would ask him/her to join one of the three teams in the game – Mystic, Instinct, and Valor. These teams are governed by Legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and, respectively, Moltres. Until February 26th, it would be impossible for players to switch sides, but, as soon as Team Medallion goes live, gamers can change their team.

Pokemon Go Also Received The Recently Announced Snapshot AR Photo Mode

In other news, Niantic added the recently announced Pokemon Go Snapshot AR Photo Mode. This one permits players to snap any of the Pokemon monsters they have in storage and share those pics with friends via social media.

Besides, we’ll have another busy weekend in Pokemon Go. Between today, February 22nd, and up till February 25th, Niantic returned the Gen 3 Legendary Pokemon Latias for a special Raid Weekend. Also, on February 23rd, tomorrow, a new Pokemon Go Field Research time-limited event would commence, allowing players to capture Clamperl that comes to Pokemon Go for the first time.

In short, Pokemon Go will finally permit players to switch teams via the new Team Medallion item which would come out on February 26th and would cost 1,000 PokeCoins.

Xiaomi Mi 9 “Transparent Edition” Would Come With A Never-Before-Seen Camera In The Smartphone Market

Yesterday, while Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S10 lineup and Galaxy Fold, the world’s first folding smartphone, Xiaomi also presented some more details about its upcoming Xiaomi Mi 9 “Transparent Edition.” According to the presentations, the so-called Mi 9 “Transparent Edition” would come with a never-before-seen camera in the smartphone market. Namely, it would boast a camera with seven optical elements and f/1.47 aperture.

Besides this particular 7P f/1.47 camera, which would be one of the three main sensors of the device, this Mi 9 “Transparent Edition,” as its nickname suggests, would come with a back case made of glass which would allow users to see some of the device’s internal components. However, in reality, those are not the real components of the smartphone.

Also, thanks to the Xiaomi presentation, we have the confirmation that Xiaomi Mi 9 “Transparent Edition” (or Explorer, as it might be officially named, eventually) comes with 12 Gb of RAM and 256 Gb of internal storage space.

Xiaomi Mi 9 “Transparent Edition” Would Be Available Only Across China, At First

As mentioned above, the most exciting part of the Xiaomi Mi 9 “Transparent Edition” presentation has been that talking about the particular 7P f/1.47 aperture camera. That 7P stands for “seven optical elements,” and it would be a premiere in the smartphone market. Until now, most of the high-end devices boasted 5P or 6P cameras, so Xiaomi would be the first to implement a 7P camera.

While Xioami did not mention which of the three rear cameras would boast such features, there are indications that the primary rear sensor would posses 7P f/1.47 aperture. That would be the camera with 48 megapixels and the Sony IMX586 technology.

As Xiaomi confirmed it yesterday, Xiaomi Mi 9 “Transparent Edition” or Explorer, as the Chinese brand might call this device, eventually, would launch soon but only across China, at first, where it would cost CNY 3,999 (roughly $600). Hopefully, Xiaomi would launch its Mi 9 “Transparent Edition” to the western markets, as well, later this year.

Galaxy Fold, The World’s First Mainstream Folding Smartphone, Costs $2,000

Samsung has finally presented its Galaxy S10 lineup and the world’s first mainstream folding smartphone – Galaxy Fold. But there is one big issue with Galaxy Fold. Namely, this device costs $2,000, which, nonetheless, sets a too high price tag for high-end foldable phones. That might turn out to be in customers’ disadvantage when other folding smartphones would start rolling out on the market.

According to some analysts of the industry, people would love to buy a Galaxy Fold, only that they don’t have the financial possibility to do so. And that could prove out to be one significant problem for Samsung which was hoping to revive smartphone market sales with its innovation, sales that witnessed a drop in 2018, for the first time in history.

However, the $2,000 price tag should not come as a surprise for us since Apple with its iPhone X lineup, for example, pushed the prices beyond $1,000. Accordingly, Samsung thought that Galaxy Fold, which is of a superior quality than iPhone X, plus that it is the first mainstream folding smartphone, should cost more.

Galaxy Fold Is The World’s First Mainstream Folding Smartphone

Galaxy Fold boasts a 4.6-inch display when folded. However, when you unfold it, Galaxy Fold turns into a tablet with a screen of 7.3 inches. In tablet mode, you can use up to three applications at the same time via split-screen functionality. Besides, it comes with two batteries, one for each side of the smartphone, and a total of six cameras.

Under the hood, it boasts 12 Gb of RAM, which makes it the first mainstream smartphone on the market to possess this amount of RAM. Besides, you can order it four colors, namely, Cosmo Black, Space Silver, Martian Green, and Astro Blue. Galaxy Fold, the world’s first folding smartphone, would become available on April 26th this year.

As for how the Galaxy Fold folds, Samsung created a particular type of display technology. Namely, the so-called Infinity Flex Display makes it possible for us to fold and unfold the device for as much as we want without tearing or breaking the screen.
