Dec 19, 2018

After failing to release the Android Pie update back in November as promised due to unresolved issues, HMD Global has finally released a stable update for the Nokia 8. The announcement was made today by Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer at HMD Global.

Enjoy the festivities with another fresh piece of 🥧 from us – this time on Nokia 8! Phased roll out of #Android 9 Pie for #Nokia8 starts today.

— Juho Sarvikas (@sarvikas) December 19, 2018

Unlike other Android Pie announcements made for its other phones, the Nokia 8 doesn’t get an elaborate announcement. The update is a phased rollout, so it may not hit your devices immediately.

Android Pie brings a new navigation system, adaptive battery, and adaptive brightness. The beta update came bundled with December’s security patch, so we expect this version also has the security patch included.

The Nokia 8 was released in 2017 as HMD Global’s first flagship smartphone. It has a 5.3-inch screen with a 1440 x 2560 display covered with Gorilla Glass 5. There is a Snapdragon 835 processor under the hood with 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage. Its second SIM slot doubles as a MicroSD card slot which allows you to add up to 512GB of extra storage.

The Nokia 8 packs dual 13MP cameras with Zeiss optics on its back in a Monochrome + RGB configuration. It also has a 13MP front-facing camera, a front-mounted fingerprint scanner, an audio jack, and a Type-C port that charges a 3090mAh at 18W.

Xiaomi Redmi Go gets certified in Singapore; is this Xiaomi’s Android Go phone?

Dec 19, 2018

Android Go is a light version of Android that has been designed to work on devices with 1GB or less of RAM. The operating system has specially designed apps that consume less data and resources. A number of manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, ASUS, and Alcatel have all released Android Go phones and a new report may mean Xiaomi is joining the list soon.

A Xiaomi phone with the model number M1903C3GG was seen on Singapore’s Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA). The same device was seen at the FCC and the EEC but it’s Singapore’s agency that reveals the phone’s marketing name is Redmi Go.

The name Redmi Go has led to assumptions that this will be Xiaomi’s first Android Go phone. The dimensions of the device revealed by the FCC hints at the Redmi Go having a 5.9-inch screen. Since it is a budget device, we expect the resolution to be at most 1440 x 720 (HD+). It is also said to have dual-SIM support, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. It is also expected to run Android Pie (Go Edition), have 1GB of RAM and a single camera on each side. With respect to the processor, we may see Xiaomi adopt a MediaTek or Qualcomm entry-level chipset.

The Redmi Go may be an Android Go phone but it may not run stock Android like other Android Go phones. Samsung’s Android Go phone, the Galaxy J4 Core has Samsung’s Experience UI on top, so Xiaomi may also decide to put MIUI on top. This is just speculation but it will be interesting to see if Xiaomi can pull off a low-resource version of MIUI.

Dec 19, 2018

At the beginning of this month, Xiaomi President Lin Bin shared an image of a mysterious Xiaomi phone with a 48-megapixel camera. Bin also confirmed that the smartphone would be made official in January 2019. Initial rumors had speculated that it could be a Mi series flagship phone, but multiple Chinese leaksters have been claiming that it could be a Redmi flagship phone. It is also being speculated that it could be the first phone to be fueled by the Snapdragon 675 chipset that was announced in October. A new leak has surfaced that points at that phone being the Redmi Pro 2, a successor to the 2016 Redmi Pro, Xiaomi’s first dual camera phone.

Teaser posters of the Redmi Pro 2 smartphone were leaked by a Weibo user on the microblogging site and one of them reveals that the Snapdragon 675 will be premiering on the Redmi Pro 2. Though it is a long shot, the rumor about the 48-megapixel camera phone having a Snapdragon 675 chipset has led some to presume the Redmi Pro 2 is the said device.

The Snapdragon 675 is an 11nm chipset that includes a pair of Cortex A76 CPU clocked at 2.0 GHz and hexa-core Cortex A55 working at 1.78 GHz. For graphics, it features an Adreno 612 GPU. The chipset supports capturing images of up to 48-megapixels. Hence, it is speculated that the mysterious Xiaomi phone with “48MP Camera” mentioned on its rear could be fueled by Snapdragon 675. The appearance of the leaked posters has given birth to rumors that the Redmi Pro 2 could be featuring Snapdragon 675 and 48-megapixel rear camera. There is no information available on the other specs of the rumored Redmi Pro 2 phone.

It took nearly 9 minutes for Wi-Fi connection to download the file.

Huawei could be aiming for 250 million smartphone shipments in the year 2019

Dec 19, 2018

During the Nova 4 launch event in China, He Gang, president of Huawei’s consumer business mobile phone product line, revealed that the company’s total smartphone shipments for this year will exceed 200 million units by 25th December.

When Chinese media asked He Gang regarding the company’s goal for the next year, he said that nothing has been confirmed yet but suggested that the company could be looking at 230 million to 250 million shipments next year.

Based on those numbers, it seems that the company is aiming to grow its mobile business by around 30 percent to 50 percent year-on-year. However, He Gang stressed that everything is dependent on the market conditions and ensures steady progress with channels and supplier partners.

He further added that the company will soon announce its sales expectations for the next year. He said that Huawei will continue to increase investment in research and development, and will keep bringing new products to everyone.

During Huawei Global Terminal Partner and Developer Conference in 2018 in June this year, Huawei’s consumer business CEO Yu Chengdong set a target of 200 million shipments for Huawei and Honor smartphones. The annual target for 2019 was set at 250 million units and announced that the company will strive to reach 300 million units in 2020.

According to data from IDC, Huawei managed to ship around 146 million units in the first three quarters of this year. This means that to cross the mark of 200 million units, the company’s fourth-quarter shipments will increase by more than 30 percent.

This year has been a bag of mixed blessings for Huawei. While its deal with AT&T didn’t work out due to security concerns raised by the US Senate, which could have slow down the company’s growth, it still managed to become the second largest smartphone company in the world, pushing Apple to third place in terms of market share.

Dec 19, 2018

Earlier this week, Honor Brand Strategy and Development Officer Zhang Xiaoyun had shared an image on her Weibo account and had asked Honor fans to guess something surprising that was hidden in it. Zooming into the image suggested that Honor could be planning to introduce Honor V20 Maserati Edition alongside its regular version. A Chinese tipster has leaked an image of the alleged Honor V20 Maserati Edition that features the logo of the car company on its rear.

A close look at the above image that was shared by Zhang in her Weibo post shows the text “M…x Honor V20” which indicated that the name of the smartphone could be mentioned along with another brand name that begins with “M”.

Since the past few years, Huawei has been working with Porsche for launching Porsche Design branded flagship phones. Earlier this month, OnePlus had collaborated with McLaren to launch OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition. Lenovo CEO has recently shared an image of the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Ferrari Edition. Hence, there is a possibility that Honor may launch Honor V20 Maserati Edition.

Shown below is the image of the alleged Honor V20 Maserati Edition with shiny black rear. At the top-left corner of the handset is single camera sensor which is separated from the module that includes dual camera sensors and LED flash. The triple camera sensors are followed by “AI Camera” text. Right at the center of the device is the Maserati logo and the brand name of the phone maker is placed towards the bottom.

The glass rear of the alleged Honor V20 Maserati Edition is curved towards the edges. The USB-C port seems to be placed between a pair of external speakers on the bottom edge of the device. There is no fingerprint scanner on the device which suggests it could be equipped with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

The Honor V20 will be fueled by 8 GB of RAM and Kirin 980 chipset. It will include 4,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging.

The smartphone will be equipped with a display that features a small cutout at the top-left corner for the selfie camera.

Apple at the receiving end for using an Android phone to promote Apple Music on Twitter

Dec 19, 2018

This year has seen its own fair share of controversy as far as brand loyalty and competition is concerned. Several times celebrities and Android smartphone brands have been trolled for utilizing an iPhone to promote an Android phone on Twitter. Most recently, Samsung Nigeria promoted the Galaxy Note 9 on its official Twitter handle from an iPhone. In a twist of fate, Apple now seems to have been caught in the same web.

In the early part of November, music star Ariana Grande posted a tweet about her Christmas & Chill EP. The official Apple Music account afterwards responded to this with a link attached to the album. But, YouTuber Marques Brownlee, who is fast gaining a reputation as a Twitter police, detected that the tweet by Apple Music was posted using Twitter for Android.

This isn’t supposed to be much of an issue since Apple Music is available to download on Android but a promotion by an official Apple account admin shouldn’t be from an Android device. Instead, it is supposed to come from any one of Apple’s own products. Especially when the amount of labour Apple puts into taking care of its image is put into consideration.
