Back in early March, OPPO started recruiting beta testers for OPPO Reno2 Android 11-based ColorOS 11 update, Now, one and a half months later, the company has begun to roll out the stable update as scheduled.

The OPPO Reno2 ColorOS 11 (Android 11) update is currently live in the following regions.

India
Malaysia
Indonesia
Vietnam
Philippines
Thailand
Cambodia
Myanmar
Pakistan
Kazakhstan

The latest system update for the smartphone comes with the following firmware versions depending on the region.

C.45
C.47
C.49
F.13
F.15
F.16

According to the official announcement post on ColorOS Community, users need to be on firmware version F.17 to receive the update.

In order to download this update, users are asked to navigate to Settings > Software Updates > Gear Icon > Official Version Application. On this page, they will have to mark the ‘Apply Now’ checkbox and finally, download and install the update.

It is worth noting that ColorOS 11 is the second major update for the OPPO Reno2 after ColorOS 7 (Android 10) that was released last year. Since OPPO is known for only providing two Android updates, Android 11 should be the last major update for this handset.

Apple seeks to grow its ads business ahead of privacy changes

Apr 22, 2021

Apple is apparently planning on expanding its advertising business just prior to rolling out its new privacy rules for iPhones that will hurt the ads offered by its competitors, like Facebook, and other social media platforms.

According to a FinancialTimes report, the Cupertino based giant will be opening up new advertising slots by the end of this month. The news arrives from two sources close to the matter who believe that the company will be adding a second advertising slow in the “suggested” apps section in its App Store search page. This new slot will arrive later this month and will also allow advertisers to promote their apps across the the network, rather than in certain specific searches.

Unfortunately, Apple has declined to comment on this matter. But this news highlights the fact that the iPhone maker is seeking to bolster its own advertising business while simultaneously crippling the 350 billion US Dollar worth digital ads industry that is led by tech giants like Facebook and Google. For those unaware, the upcoming iOS 14.5 will ban applications and advertisers from collecting data from iPhone users without their explicit consent. Thus, most users are expected to decline to being tracked, which could have a severe impact on the mobile advertising industry.

While Apple claims that this change will improve user privacy for its customers, many believe that this is just an attempt to boost its own advertising business. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg added that “Apple may say they’re doing this to help people, but the moves clearly track with their competitive interests.” So stay tuned for more updates, as we will be covering any interesting new developments regarding this matter.

Foxconn, a known Apple supplier, is significantly scaling down its plans for the Wisconsin factory that it had announced with the former US President, Donald Trump, who called the site as the “eighth wonder of the world.”

For those unaware, the previous President had showcased the plans of Foxconn to build a factory in Wisconsin, which would’ve been a major win for his economic goals. But a year and a half later, this deal’s future seems a lot more uncertain. Now, the supplier has announced that it will be scaling down the plan significantly earlier this week. The Taiwanese based manufacturing giant is also hoping that it would return blue collar jobs back to the hard hit state as well, as per a TechCrunch report.

The report added that the 10 billion US Dollars investment plan is now being scaled down to just 672 million US Dollars. In the new plans, Foxconn will also be cutting down employee count from 13,000 to just 1,454. Furthermore, Tony Evers, Wisconsin Governor, said in a press release issues earlier this week, that the reduction would be a tax saving deal as well.

The Governor further added that “When I ran to be governor, I made a promise to work with Foxconn to cut a better deal for our state—the last deal didn’t work for Wisconsin, and that doesn’t work for me. Today I’m delivering on that promise with an agreement that treats Foxconn like any other business and will save taxpayers $2.77 billion, protect the hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure investments the state and local communities have already made, and ensure there’s accountability for creating the jobs promised.”

Evers had also played a crucial role in negotiating the deal under Trump. The package also included incentives worth about 4 billion US Dollars in incentives for Foxconn. At the moment, the state has already spend upwards of 200 million US Dollars over infrastructure, training, and more, ahead of the planned factory.

Samsung is working on a Galaxy A22 5G and we have seen reports of this as early as last year. Today, Steve Hemmerstoffer(@Onleaks) has leaked high-quality 5K CAD-based renders of the device on Voice.

In a series of images, Steve has shared the possible design of the upcoming Galaxy A22 5G smartphone. Right off the bat, it is totally different from the concept renders we saw earlier as the device has a squircle camera layout on the back with a Triple-cameras and contradicts the earlier rumors.

There are three lenses and an LED flash inside the layout but early reports said that it would boast four sensors with a 48MP main lens, 8MP ultrawide, and two 2MP sensors. We will have to wait for further official info to know more about this.

At the front, the display has noticeable bezels on the bottom and a waterdrop notch at the top. That’s reasonable considering the budget at which it is supposedly going to retail on markets. As per the report, the device will feature a 6.5-inch display and the selfie camera tucked inside the notch could be a 13MP sensor.

On the right, we have a Power button with a Fingerprint sensor embedded and volume buttons. At the top, there is a secondary mic, and the bottom, which has the primary microphone, speaker, Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack rounds up the I/O.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A32 5G with Dimensity 720 chipset in some markets. There are chances that the Galaxy A22 might have reduced specs as it will sit below the Galaxy A32. However, we don’t have concrete info on any of them just yet.

Huawei wins trademark fight in EU court against Chanel over its logo

By

Apr 22, 2021

Earlier this week, Chanel lost its trademark fight against Huawei Technologies in a top European court. The news arrives after the court stated that both firms logos do not share any similarity to each other.

According to an SCMP report, the French luxury brand lost its trademark battle against the Chinese tech giant regarding the logo design. Notably, this also highlights the sensitive nature of luxury brands guarding their logos to preserve the luxury symbols that showcases their “style and exclusivity” to millions of people across the globe. The claim from Chanel first arrived back in 2017, when Huawei sought approval from the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to register its computer hardware trademark which featured two vertical interlocking semicircles.

This branding led to Chanel alleging that this design is similar to its registered French logo of two horizontal interlocking semicircles that are used on the brand’s cosmetics, perfumes, clothing, and other such products. In 2019, the trademark office had dismissed the company’s claims saying that there was no similarity and there would be no confusion between both brands in the eyes of the consumers.

However, Chanel then took the challenge to the Luxembourg based General Court. Here, the claim was dismissed again in a ruling earlier this week. As per the tribunal of judges,”The figurative marks at issue are not similar. The marks must be compared as applied for and registered, without altering their orientation.” The tribunal added that there were visual differences between both logos “In particular, Chanel’s marks have more rounded curves, thicker lines and a horizontal orientation, whereas the orientation of the Huawei mark is vertical. Consequently, the General Court concludes that the marks are different.”
