May 19, 2022

Qualcomm had just announced earlier today (19th May 2022) that it will be holding a new Snapdragon event in China on May 20. In this conference, the company plans on unveiling its next gen flagship mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. However, prior to this event, a new leak has revealed some interesting details regarding this chipset, so lets have a look.

The chipmaking giant’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus (SM8475) is based on a 4nm process. This chipset is will apparently feature an overall boost in performance thanks to a 10 percent overclocking. The processor will still retain the “1+3+4” core cluster architecture, which consists of a Cortex X2, Cortex A710, and the Cortex A510. According to a known Weibo tipster (a Chinese microblogging website), the CPU and GPU of architecture are still the same, but with an improvement of energy efficiency of 30 percent.

Similarly, its power consumption has also be lowered by 30 percent as well. In other words, along with the 10 percent improvement in performance, this chipset will also have better endurance overall. The tipster added that this is the only official data as of right now, although, the actual performance of the mass produced Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chip is still unknown. For those unaware, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ will replace the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and will soon be featured in upcoming flagship smartphone models from various brands.

Glitch in Huawei’s AppGallery lets users download paid apps for free

By

May 19, 2022

If you follow the tech industry, you’re probably aware that Huawei is in a lot of trouble. The company was subject to a US trade ban in May 2019, which prevented it from working with some of its long-term partners including Google. This means Huawei phones cannot access Google services such as the Play Store. So, the company had to create its own alternative to the Google Play Store called “AppGallery”. However, it is reported that AppGallery is facing a certain glitch that allows users to download paid apps for free.

This vulnerability/glitch has been discovered by Dylan Roussel. He found that the API of Huawei’s AppGallery offers no protection for paid applications. It is reportedly possible to obtain a genuine APK download link for premium apps without even having to pay for it.

To make sure that it wasn’t the issue with just one particular app, Russel tried downloading multiple apps and he was successful each time. However, one game he downloaded had a license verification, which he failed to pass.

Russel even emailed Huawei informing them about the issue and offered them 5 weeks to fix it. Now it has been 13 Weeks and the vulnerability still persists. So, he decided to disclose it publicly.

Huawei’s ignorance can have a grave impact on the earnings of developers who have published their apps in Huawei’s AppGallery. Not only that, but this issue also invites app piracy. Attackers could exploit the API to download a huge number of premium apps without even visiting the AppGallery.

If you’re an app developer with a paid app published in Huawei’s AppGallery, it is advisable for you to implement additional means of protection to your application through DRM, like the AppGallery DRM Service.

Thanks to a new collaboration with Niantic, which is known for making Pokémon Go, the company is also working on an AR game called Ingress.

Now, a new report coming from ShrimpApplePro claims that the upcoming Apple Watch models will come with a flat glass design. Jon Prosser and a few other tipsters had previously claimed that the wearable device will have square edges, among other changes.

A new render for the upcoming Watch Series 8 showcases what the smartwatch could end up looking like. However, do note that the leak coming this time hasn’t been confirmed yet, and there’s a chance that is may not turn up to be true.

While Apple hasn’t confirmed anything about the upcoming Watch 8 models, leaks and rumors indicate the product to be the best yet from the brand. It is expected to have support for temperature support and will be running the latest watchOS 9 out-of-the-box and have a few more exciting features.

Samsung has improved the privacy and security of both smartphones by introducing features like Privacy Dashboard, and quick setting toggles to enable or disable camera and microphone access. Moreover, the company has also added privacy indicators for camera and microphone usage.

What’s surprising is that the Galaxy A22 will also receive an Android 13 update at some point next year, however, Android 12 marks the endgame of updates for the Galaxy A41.

If you own the aforementioned Galaxy smartphones and live in Russia, you can download the latest update by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Samsung will release the update in more regions in a few weeks.
