Sony rolled out stable Android 9 Pie update for its Xperia XZ2 lineup last month and also promised to soon release the same for XZ1 family and XZ Premium. Keeping its promise, the company has now started releasing Android Pie for the XZ Premium, XZ1, and XZ1 Compact.

The update, which carries the build number 47.2.A.0.306, comes with Sony‘s updated camera user interface, 1080p 960fps slow-motion recording, and HDR enhancement for videos. The update also includes the October security patch. The older security patch could mean that the update rollout was delayed and the company spent time on bug-fixing.

Also, it’s noteworthy that the update doesn’t include Android Pie’s new gesture-based navigation. It appears that the update rollout is region-based so you might have to wait a couple of days before the new Android Pie hits your device.

As said, Sony updated the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact last month with Android 9.0 update, along with the same October security patch. The company has also confirmed that the Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra, and Xperia XA2 Plus will receive the update early next year, probably in March.

The Android 9 Pie update comes with lots of new features and improvements including navigation gestures, Adaptive Battery that uses machine learning to prioritize system resources for the apps, App Actions, among others.

MIUI 10 v8.11.8 beta ROM opens doors for Google Camera app support

Xiaomi users can now install the latest Google Camera app on their Xiaomi phones. The Chinese smartphone maker is rolling out a new update to its customized Android version, MIUI. Currently, the update MIUI 10 v8.11.8 beta is limited to China-based ROM, but we expect the support to soon rollout on Global ROMs also. Xiaomi has not given any timeline for global rollout featuring the support for new APIs. Particularly, Xiaomi has added a couple of new APIs and modules such as HAL3/Camera2API in the new MIUI build which allows the use of third-party camera apps such as GCam.

The MIUI 10 update has extended support for HAL3/Camera2API which is required by Google Camera app to run on any Android device. It seems due to increased demand for third-party camera apps, the Chinese smartphone maker has added support in their forked version of Android. Increasing features in the Google Camera app can be regarded as another reason behind the adoption by Xiaomi in the latest beta build of MIUI.

Google has tweaked the Google camera a lot and has made it unmatchable with lots of features. It can create a bokeh effect without the need of dual camera on your smartphone. Google has also refined post-processing of photos in the app. Google Pixel’s mind-blowing cameras also run on the Google Camera app.

MIUI 10 version 10.8.11.8 carries HAL3 which seems to be activated by default. So, now you only need to install a third party camera app, and it will be ready for use.

Until now, Xiaomi users have to use the GCam app partially with errors or either need to root their devices. Now, with the inception of the HAL3 support, you need not to root your Xiaomi device. You can directly use it by sideloading the Google camera app without following any long procedures.

Currently, there’s no information about when the Xiaomi will rollout out it in the stable build. But we hope, soon we will get a chance to use the Google Camera app on Xiaomi devices without any root access or error.

Well, how many of you are already using Google camera app on Xiaomi devices?

Last month, OnePlus announced its latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 6T. The device went on sale in India earlier this month in two color options — Midnight Black and Mirror Black. Now, the company seems all set to launch a third color variant in India — OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple.

The teaser posted by OnePlus India on Twitter says: “Elegance infused with the brilliance of thunderstorms. #ThunderPurple is coming.” The OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple color was introduced when the phone was officially launched in China last week.

While the company has confirmed that the new color variant will launch in India, OnePlus has not yet revealed the availability information. However, we expect the company to reveal more details in the coming days. As for the pricing, it will be pricing similar to the existing models in India.

Currently, the base model of OnePlus 6T with 6GB RAM costs Rs. 37,999 (approx. $521) while the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model is priced at Rs. 41,999 (~$576). The top-end model with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage is priced at Rs. 45,999, which roughly converts to $631.

The OnePlus 6T features a 6.41-inch Optic AMOLED Full HD+ display and carries support for features such as Adaptive brightness, screen calibration, and reading mode. The display offers 19.5:9 aspect ratio and comes with a “waterdrop” notch instead of the regular notch.

It comes with an optical in-display fingerprint sensor which the company calls “Screen Unlock” and claims to be the fastest-performing implementation of such technology yet. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor with either 6GB or 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage.

The phone has a 16MP + 20MP rear camera and a 16MP front-facing camera.

Huawei’s new patent reveals in-display earpiece technology

In a bid to provide larger screen space to the user, smartphone OEMs reduced the bezels around the display by launching notched display smartphones. The size of the notch has considerably reduced on newer phones. It seems that making holes in screens is the next trend in smartphone design. Samsung, Huawei and ASUS are some of the companies that are working on smartphones with in-display camera that features a hole in the screen for the front-facing selfie camera. Huawei has been granted patent permission for an in-display earpiece technology at the USPTO that will allow provide another way to offer higher screen space to the user.

Huawei had submitted the patent for in-display earpiece technology in September 2016 with USPTO and it was published in this month. As it can be seen in the below shown illustration image of the patent, the display of the Huawei phone features a very thin hole under which the earpiece is placed. Interestingly, an important feature that cannot be seen on the frontside of the phone is the selfie camera.

The top edge of the Huawei phone is equipped with a 3.5mm and its bottom edge features a slot for what appears to be USB-C port. The smartphone features a curved body with its power button and volume controllers placed on its right edge.

The backside of the phone has vertical dual camera setup. A larger cutout is placed below the dual camera module. Probably, it could belong to an LED flash, but since its size is quite big, it could be meant for the third camera sensor. The cutout could belong to the rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Many manufacturers submit different kinds of patent designs with bodies like USPTO and WIPO, but approved designs may not end up as a real device. Hence, it remains to be seen whether Huawei will make use of the aforementioned design on its future phones. As far as in-display camera technology is concerned, it is speculated that the upcoming Huawei P30 series may such a design.

As like we told you, Samsung has showcased its foldable display phone at SDC 2018 conference. The Korean giant has revealed its display by obscuring the whole device in a black box at the event. It helped Samsung to keep its design and other aspects private from the outer world. In the next few months or weeks, Samsung will mass produce infinity flex device in huge numbers.

Today as per the new source in Korea, it has been revealed that initially, Samsung will produce 1 million foldable devices. Ultimately, Samsung’s mobile division boss DJ Koh has also confirmed an unauthenticated news by affirming the mass production of 1 million foldable smartphones. Overall, it means Samsung doesn’t want to pour in more and more investment; rather, they will wait for official sale results.

It will help Samsung to know the actual ground situation of the market. If the company found the market mature enough then they will increase the production. Currently, there’s no overview that would have helped Samsung to get the exact probability of the number of sales. Even big experts are mumbling over how the market will react to the foldable devices.

Samsung has not revealed any specs and pricing details as of now. This time, the company has tightened its grip over the hardware leaks as only minimal details are available as of now. It seems we have to wait for the official unveiling to get information about its hardware.

Additionally, DJ Koh pointed out that Samsung is collaborating with Google to create a customized version of the foldable device. Google has already launched Android support for foldable smartphone; surely it will help Samsung’s foldable device next year.

We are expecting the Samsung to launch foldable device by early 2019. Still, nothing is confirmed, we suggest you take everything as a grain of salt as nothing has been confirmed officially by Samsung.

Alibaba makes a new record with over $30.8 billion in sales during its annual Singles Day sale

Nov 12, 2018

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has set a new sales record for its annual Singles Day sale, posting a sales figure of over $30.8 billion, up 27 percent compared to last year. This year’s Singles Day sale has been by far the largest-ever to date. Just 15 hours and 49 minutes into the spending spree, transactions on the platform leapfrogged that of 2017’s tally of $25 billion.

The Singles Day sale, which is also called “Double 11”, is the world’s biggest online sales event which also outstrips the sales of U.S. shopping holidays Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. It was originally a novelty student holiday to celebrate being single, countering Valentines Day but has since grown into a 24-hour online retail frenzy on November 11.

However, this 27 percent growth also marked the company’s lowest annual increase in the history of Singles Day sale. The slowdown came on the heels of Alibaba’s weakest revenue growth since seven quarters ago and a cut in annual revenue forecast. However, the company’s revenues are still increasing at a healthy rate of 54 percent year-over-year.

Alibaba has also faced new challenges this year, such as new rivals in the market, a slowing economy and its stock dropping 16% thanks to China’s trade war with the US.

Some 180,000 brands are available in the shopping blitz, which includes top technology companies such as Xaomi, Apple, and Dyson, among others. Apart from China, the company has also expanded the event to the Western market, with downloads of its app AliExpress surging in the US and UK.

Alibaba has also tapped into physical stores and is poised to “digitize the whole consumer retail market.” Since the last two years, the company has been jostling with close rival JD.com to snap up strategic partnerships with brick-and-mortar retailers to reach more consumers.

The company also has its sights set on international consumers. This year, merchants from over 200 countries participated in Singles’ Day, including those on Alibaba’s Southeast Asia-based Lazada platform.

This Singles Day sale is expected to be the company’s final November sale with founder and chairman Jack Ma at the helm as Daniel Zhang will take over as chairman next year.

Since the OnePlus 6T T-Mobile variant carries support for Band 13, the handset can be also by Verizon users. However, it does not support for all the network bands of Verizon because of which users may face issues like not receiving text messages and slower LTE speeds. The OP6T is not officially available for buying through Verizon. In the U.S., OnePlus is also selling the unlocked version of the OnePlus 6T that features dual SIM function.

OnePlus’ 5G smartphone will not be 6T successor but a part of a new lineup

By

-

Nov 12, 2018

OnePlus has already confirmed that it’ll be launching a new smartphone next year that will be 5G compatible. However, apart from that timeline, the company has not revealed anything else related to the device.

Recently, the OnePlus spokesperson said to CNET that the OnePlus 6T successor, which could possibly be named OnePlus 7, won’t feature 5G compatibility. However, the company plans to kick off a line lineup of devices, which will also include the company’s first 5G smartphone.

The 5G smartphone from OnePlus is expected to be released in early 2019 and could possibly be unveiled during the Mobile World Congress in February next year in Barcelona, Spain. However, this is just a speculation and there’s no evidence yet to support this.

It seems that OnePlus‘ upcoming 5G smartphone will be expensive than its current lineup and the company doesn’t want to compromise on its “affordable flagship” mantra and thus, it’ll release a new lineup for the 5G device.

Also, if the 5G device actually turns out be an expensive one, we expect the company to offer a few other premium features as well, such as wireless charging. The company is also expected to opt for a different design language for the 5G device.

Another possible reason for a different lineup could be the company’s fear for the adaptation of 5G technology. Given that the previous and current lineup of smartphones from OnePlus have been highly successful, the company doesn’t want to risk that with a phone with new technology that could take more time for adaptation and slow its sales numbers.

The company’s current flagship smartphone is OnePlus 6T which was launched last month for a starting price of $549. It features a 6.41-inch Optic AMOLED Full HD+ display and carries support for features such as Adaptive brightness, screen calibration, and reading mode.

It comes with an optical in-display fingerprint sensor which the company calls “Screen Unlock” and claims to be the fastest-performing implementation of such technology yet. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor with either 6GB or 8GB RAM.

The phone has a 16MP + 20MP rear camera and a 16MP front-facing camera. It runs on OxygenOS 9.0 based on Android 9 Pie operating system and is powered by 3,700mAh battery that comes equipped with support for fast charging.
