Captain America comes to 'Fortnite'

While Captain America's shield has appeared on the game before, now Fortnite is bringing Cap into the game. His character arrives just in time for the Fourth of July weekend in the US, which is also his birthday. The Captain America skin costs 2,000 V-bucks (around $27), which also comes with his iconic shield. The game will let you wear it on your back like Cap or use it as a pickaxe. Fortnite also introduced a Captain America-themed fireworks emote, which costs around 300 V-bucks.

OnePlus Nord gets teased in new teaser video

 

OnePlus drops a new teaser that gives us a quick peek the Nord series' first handset, and we do mean a quick look since it appears like five seconds in a 1:25 video (around the 0:57 mark). From what we can see, it sports a dual selfie camera housed inside a punch-hole located at the upper-left side of the display. The screen is flat instead of curved. The rear's design shows the camera sensors arranged vertically on the upper left side of the panel. The back cover curves on both sides. There are the brand name and its logo, but there is no fingerprint sensor in sight.

OnePlus promises the Nord to be priced below US$500 (around CA$679), and it'll run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor. Other rumoured specs claim it'll have 6GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, 6.55-inch OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, 48-megapixel primary camera, 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a single selfie shooter. But there are contradicting reports about the camera specs. The OnePlus Nord is expected to launch in India on July 10.
