Samsung begins One UI 3.1 update rollout for Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series, Galaxy Z Fold2, & more

After updating devices like the Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy Tab S7 series, Samsung is officially bringing the One UI 3.1 update to Galaxy S20 Series, Note 20 Series, Z Fold2, and Z Flip devices.

Samsung in a press release announced that it will bring the latest One UI 3.1 update to various flagship and mid-range series of devices. You can take a look at the list below:

*-The Galaxy S20 FE started receiving it a  few days ago but Samsung had to pull it back reportedly due to various issues.

Samsung launched the One UI 3.1 back when it announced the Galaxy S21 series of devices in January. These devices are the first ones to carry the UI out of the box. It then started updating the older devices by pushing the UI update via OTA(Over-The-Air).

Anyway, the latest update is rolling out to various regions in the UK, Europe(like Austria, Germany), and South Korea. If you are someone living in these regions, you can try out the new features by navigating to Software Update in Settings.

The One UI 3.1 brings features like Improved performance, Private Share, GPS location data removal on Images, more Lock screen widgets, Background Video Calling, Google Discover on Home Screen, Zoom Lock(in camera), and more.

That said, a report by Sammobile says that Samsung hasn’t brought the Google Discover, Google Messages to the devices with this update. This means it is still exclusive to the Galaxy S21 devices for now.

Users in other regions need not panic as Samsung will eventually roll out the update soon in the coming days. Also, in the news, Samsung has mentioned devices like the Galaxy A90, Galaxy A70, Galaxy A80, Galaxy A51, A71. We will have to wait for a few days to know when Samsung starts their rollout.

ASUS ROG Phone 5 moniker Officially confirmed

ASUS has been teasing its next ROG flagship Gaming smartphone in China for a while now. The device, which is expected to launch next month, is now officially confirmed as ROG Phone 5.

ASUS ROG Phone 5 I005DB and I005DA
ASUS ROG Phone 5 variants; I005DB (left) and I005DA (right)

The company confirmed the moniker of the next ROG Phone 5 via a Weibo post while talking about the Tencent Games Collab. ASUS said that it is entering into the third successful collaboration with Tencent Games(2019-2021). To recall, ASUS had partnered with Tencent Games back in the ROG Phone 2 launch in 2019.

Anyway, ASUS hasn’t confirmed the launch date yet but reports say that the device could launch in India in March. There is also a possibility that ASUS might announce it at the upcoming MWC Shanghai that is scheduled for Feb. 23-25. This is just our guess so let’s wait for official confirmation.

As for the device itself, it could come in two variants-  ASUS_I005DA and ASUS_I005DB. Among these, the I005DA seems to have a secondary screen on the back that’s nothing but a Dot-Matrix LED like the ones on ROG Zephyrus G14 Laptops. The second variant, however, doesn’t have it.

Thus the I005DB could just be an affordable version of the ROG Phone 5 debuting in certain markets. Apart from this, as mentioned above, we can also expect a ‘Tencent Games’ edition exclusive for China.

Regarding the specs, the TENAA listing reveals that the device will have a 6.78-inch display, Snapdragon 888 chipset, horizontally stacked Triple-cameras, 6,000mAh dual-cell battery, and Android 11 OS.

Other expected specs include a 64MP main camera, AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, 65W Rapid charging.

Xiaomi Mi 10i could soon receive Android 11 update as Mi 10T Lite bags it

Xiaomi launched the Mi 10T Lite alongside the Mi 10T and the Mi 10T Pro in late September. The handset debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 10. Now, months after its release, this device has finally started receiving the Android 11 update.

Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Featured
Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite

The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite ships with two types of MIUI builds – Global and EEA. But currently, only the variant running the global build is receiving the Android 11 update.

Above all, the update with build number V12.0.2.0.RJSMIXM is currently in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. Hence, it is being only seeded out to select users. If these early adopters don’ face any major issues, the availability of this update will be extended for more customers.

Similarly, Xiaomi should start delivering the Android 11 update not only to the EEA variant of Mi 10T Lite but also Mi 10i and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G very soon.

That’s because the Redmi Note 9 Pro that debuted in late November 2020 in China is basically the Mi 10T Lite with a 108MP primary sensor. On the other hand, the Mi 10 that released in India last month is a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.

Hence, these three phones codenamed gauguin run the same MIUI build with regional tweaks. That said, going by Xiaomi’s update track record, this trio should get at least one more Android update and three MIUI updates.

Intel to launch its 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S processors on March 15: Report

Intel will reportedly launch its 11th Gen Core series of processors next month. Previously, the company had only confirmed that the Rocket Lake-S series chips will be available within the first quarter of this year, but now a new report has claimed that the chips will launch on 15th March 2021.

Intel Core i9 11th Generation Rocket Lake-S Chipset

According to a HKEPC report (Via VideoCardz), the 11th Gen processors will be available next month. So far, it was expected that the new chips will arrive sometime in early April 2021, but the new report suggests that we might see the launch arrive two weeks earlier. The company has already launched its latest 500 series motherboards, which will support the new Rocket Lake-S CPUs and PCI Gen4 for GPU and fast NVMe storage.

HKEPC stated that the announcement of the 12th Gen Core series of processors by the end of September 2021, with the actual launch arriving by December. Furthermore, the report also added that the Alder Lake-S series chips will be based on the 10nm Enhanced SuperFin, instead of the 10nm SuperFin architecture. In other words, these processors will be more power efficient than the Tiger Lake series.

Intel

Unfortunately, the report does not divulge any other finer information regarding the company’s supposed launch plans apart from the date. Keep in mind, this is still an unconfirmed report and we will have to wait for an official company announcement to know for sure. So take this report with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

Sony faces a class action lawsuit over the PlayStation 5 Controller

Sony is being sued and accused of consumer fraud over its PlayStation 5 Controller. The company is facing a class action lawsuit after numerous users experienced issues with their PS5 DualSense controller.

Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller

According to an AndroidHeadlines report, many consumers have been facing an issue with the controller and its functioning. Over the course of the last couple of months, many users have been facing an issue known as ‘drift.’ For those unaware, drift is an issue where the joysticks of the controllers malfunction. This, in turn, causes unintentional movement or shift in camera angles without any input from the user. Meaning, one can face issues during gameplay due to these unwanted inputs from the faulty controller.

A similar problem was also observed with the Nintendo Switch, so users that were initially facing the issue were quick to catch on to the problem they were facing. The first reports regarding the potential Sony lawsuit had first appeared last week. Back then, the law firm involved was only gathering information from affected consumers and now, they are moving forward with the lawsuit.

Sony

The goal of the lawsuit being brought against the company that is over consumer fraud, aims to have the Japanese tech giant offer free replacements. Unfortunately, this does not imply that those that purchased a PS5 will receive a new DualSense controller for free, rather, only those who opted into the class action lawsuit will receive a new controller, if the lawsuit is successful. Furthermore, the legal course also seeks damages for potential out of pocket expenses as well, to reimburse those who might have purchased a new controller.
