In the past, we used to transfer data, sync contacts, and backup critical files by using some primitive methods such as a USB cable, flash drive, and Bluetooth. The things have changed now, and the users are used to advanced file sharing and syncing methods over the wireless networks. There are many softwares which facilitate the users in transferring files, syncing messages, and overall controlling the whole smartphone via a browser. AirDroid is such an example that enables cross-platform sync of messages, files, and other details from the smartphone.
AirDroid offers a full brochure of features which allows the users to manage their smartphone from a computer using the web or desktop interface. It can do more than just syncing messages and device’s content on other machines. AirDroid can cast the media, send device notifications to PC, backup and install apps, transfer files, copy and paste links from Android devices, and mirror smartphone display to any other connected device.
How AirDroid Works?
AirDroid use WiFi network to transfer files from one device to another. It can also connect via an internet connection, but there are certain limitations. If the user is remotely away from the device then he/she will need a standard internet connection to make it work flawlessly. If you are using the internet connection service, then it will sync content via the server. All the graphics content that we see while using the app is retrieved from the application using the http server.
List of AirDroid Alternatives
AirDroid carries all the necessary features, but due to recent concerns over security, the users are looking for alternatives to the service. Even though a few users are quite dissatisfied with some bloatware issues that were sprawled to the top affecting the AirDroid’s authority.

Earlier this week, three major Chinese telecom providers announced commercial availability of 5G, in addition to publicising their voice and data plans. Speaking of 5G compatible smartphones, a total of 11 models have already been released in the country and several others will launch in the coming months.
Out of these 11 handsets, 5 are made by Huawei alone while the rest are made by 5 other manufacturers, namely Xiaomi, ZTE, Vivo, OPPO and Samsung. When it comes to 5G smartphones, Huawei is clearly well ahead of the competition but it doesn’t want to stop even now.
According to recently spotted list of smartphones which is believed to be the company’s internal documents, Huawei is about to launch three more 5G smartphones under its Honor sub-brand which include the Honor v30 5G, Honor V30 Pro 5G and Honor Magic 3 5G. It can be observed that some smartphones in this list that have already been launched are offered with both 5G and 4G compatibility which include the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro.
Honor V30 Pro renders 2
In contrast, the list lacks 4G variants of three previously mentioned Honor branded smartphones which are supposed to launch in the coming months. It seems that Huawei might not even be bothered to launch 4G variants of these handsets.
While we already have sufficient details about the V30 and V30 Pro, the Honor Magic 3 has appeared for the first time. Going by its name, it will be the successor of the Honor Magic 2 from 2018 that sports a sliding display.

Therefore, it can be assumed that the device will be equipped with the latest and greatest chipset from the company which is Kirin 990. Staple to high-end devices, it is destined to have features like a high screen-to-body ratio display, support for fast charging and worthy camera sensors.

The cameras on both devices will be quite powerful. The V30 should come with a 60MP primary sensor with 16MP super wide-angle shooter, a 2MP macro lens, and a ToF camera completing the quad-camera setup. The Pro version retains the 60MP primary shooter, but adds an 8MP telephoto camera instead of a macro lens, and upgrades the wide-angle shooter to 20MP. It will also have a ToF camera.
The Honor V30 will draw power from a 4000mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging while the V30 Pro will have a 4200mAh battery with support for 40W fast charge and 15W wireless fast charge. The source reports that the V30 series will have a price tag not more than ¥3000 (~$420) and both phones are expected to be announced by the end of October.

Chinese technology giant OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus 7T and the 7T Pro globally and the renders of the upcoming OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro have already leaked online. The OnePlus 8 duo are expected to go official by Q2 2020. In a recent interview with Times of India, Pete Lau, CEO, OnePlus said “We plan to stick with our current strategy of introducing two products simultaneously. While one device will cater to the premium segment, the other will be an affordable version of the first.”
OnePlus currently dominates the premium smartphone market in India, commanding well over 42% and beating rivals like Samsung and Apple. The figures go on to prove OnePlus’ brilliant strategy, and how well they have positioned their smartphones as ‘flagship killers.” OnePlus released the 7 and the 7 Pro in the second quarter of 2019, and followed it up by launching the 7T and the 7T Pro in the fourth quarter. Previously OnePlus launched one smartphone in the first half of the year and a T variant in the second half.
When Lau was questioned about the shift in strategy, he said, “We went with the dual phone strategy since we want to offer the best of both worlds to our patrons. The OnePlus 7 Pro, for example, offers the most updated technology at the moment. But, in a price-sensitive market like India, the Pro is out of bounds for most people. This is where the OnePlus 7 comes in. It offers the best of both worlds.”
The OnePlus 7T features a 6.55-inch Fluid AMOLED full HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 855+ SoC with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of native storage. The smartphone features a triple camera setup at the rear. The primary camera uses a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor with a 16-megapixel telephoto lens and a 12-megapixel depth sensor. The smartphone draws power from a 3,800 mAh battery that supports 30W Warp Charge.
The OnePlus 7T Pro flaunts a 6.67-inch AMOLED Fluid display with a quad HD+ resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 855+ chipset with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The triple camera setup includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor with a 16-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an 8-megapixel depth sensor. The 7T Pro draws power from a 4,085 mAh battery which supports 30W Warp Charge and runs on the Android 10-based OxygenOS 10.0.

At the time of writing this article, the 3D book has been pre-ordered by close to 4,000 netizens. The crowdfunding amount has already surpassed 1.25 million which is close to 3.7x in comparison to the original target. The book is offered in two variants which include tribal and alliance, while their book box is different with a disparate logo, the content in both variants is the same.
As the word “3D” suggests, the book feature origami styled structures which can collapse or expand as the readers turn its pages. The book contains a total of 46 pages, each of which, commemorates a classic scene in the World of Warcraft. Likewise, in the year 2018, Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Guide to Hogwarts 3D book was launched which was well received by enthusiasts.
The game is originally available in the English language, but this variant of the 3D book has been translated to Chinese which was derived from the copy that was produced by Blizzard Entertainment.
The pages of the book can expand as much as 1 square meter which provides the reader with a life-like experience. The book also contains 5 exclusive camp tokens which pay homage to the legendary game.
WhatsApp is rolling out a new update for its Android app, packing various new enhancements and features. The update also brings the long-awaited fingerprint lock feature for Android. After the initial rollout on iOS in February, the Facebook-owned company took several months to roll out the biometric authentication on Android.
The move to bring fingerprint unlock will surely enhance user privacy, and it works the same as the Touch ID on iOS devices. WhatsApp also added the customization options to the Fingerprint unlock feature. The users can choose the time to automatically lock in the device after closing the display in 1 minute, after 20 minutes or immediately. To enable the feature, users can head over to the Settings > Account > Privacy > Fingerprint lock. Initially, the user needs to authenticate the fingerprint while enabling the feature.
Moreover, WhatsApp won’t be sending your biometrics to the Facebook server, and it will host the scan on your device with the help of Android’s Biometric API. It will surely relieve the concerned users who always think of privacy before opting for any new feature.
Apart from the fingerprint lock, WhatsApp allows the users to customize the visibility of the message in the notifications. Users can toggle the “Show content in the notification” option to enable the feature.
The WhatsApp 2.19.308 is currently rolling out in a staged manner so that it will reach most of the users by the end of this week. If you’re in a hurry, then sideload the latest apk by downloading it from the link below. Also, make sure your smartphone is running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow or above.

Today, Huawei officially started selling the 5G variant of the Huawei Mate 30 series smartphones, which includes the Mate 30 5G and Mate 30 Pro 5G, with a starting price of 4,999 Yuan that roughly converts to $710.
Now, the company has revealed that it managed to sell 100 million units of the smartphones per minute during the sale, which lasted from 10:08 AM till 10:15 AM.
The Mate 30 5G comes in two variants based on memory configuration – 8GB + 125GB version with a ¥4999 (~$706) price and the 8GB + 256GB version priced at ¥5499 (~$777).

Both the smartphones are powered by the company’s own Kirin 990 5G 7nm + EUV processor. It not only has a built-in 5G modem but its NPU chip also has two big cores and one small core while the regular Kirin 990 has one big core and one small core. Its cores are also clocked higher than the standard variant.
Further, both the devices have a total of 21 antennas each where 14 are for 5G, more than double the 6-antenna design of other 5G phones. Both 5G phones come in Vegan Leather Orange and Vegan Leather Forest Green color options.
The Huawei Mate 30 series is apparently doing extremely well in its home country. At the start of this month, it was reported that the company has already sold over a million units of the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro since the phones went on sale in China on September 26. This is pretty impressive considering they achieved it in less than a week, and that’s not even the end of it.
Apparently, Huawei managed to reach this goal in the span of a three hours, as Richard Yu made the announcement during the opening of a Huawei flagship store in Shenzhen. Including the online orders, Huawei was bringing in CNY 500 million a minute, implying a rate of 100,000 sales per minute. Now those are some pretty big numbers.
It’s noteworthy that the Mate 30 series comes without support for Google apps and services. While it may be a big deal in other markets, it isn’t so in China where most Android phones don’t come pre-installed with Google Play Services.
Despite the ban on Huawei from the United States, the company’s flagship devices are doing pretty well. Last week, He Gang, President of Huawei’s Consumer Business and Mobile Product Line said that the sale of flagship Huawei Mate 30 series is expected to reach 10 million units by the end of this year, before the Spring Festival.
Additionally, he has also revealed that the company’s total smartphone shipments are expected to be around 240-250 million for the current year. However, the company has revealed anything related to the sales forecast of the Huawei Mate X smartphone. He said that at this stage, the company is hoping to learn and understand the customer experience with the foldable smartphones.
