Every year, since it launched the first Pixel phone, Google has shown us what it can do with a very good camera software and a single sensor. Thanks to developers, you don’t have to own a Pixel phone to be able to experience how good Google’s camera app is as the APK can be ported and modified to work on other devices. Some devices already have the ported version of the Pixel 3’s camera but a new one has been released that works on a number of LG phones.

The ported version brings the camera performance of the Pixel 3 including the popular Night Sight feature to a bunch of LG phones including the LG V20 thanks to XDA Senior member, cstark27. The APK works on the LG V20, LG V30, LG V35, and the LG G6. if you own the LG G7 ThinQ and the LG V40 ThinQ, you can also try it but it is said to be unstable. However, there is a chance a newer version that works well with the two phones will be released in the near future.

If you want to know how well the camera performs compared to the stock camera app, an XDA member has provided camera samples that compare the LG V30’s stock camera to the ported one. Photos taken with the stock camera are on the left while those taken with the Google camera port are on the right.

ASUS confirms ZenFone line will not be cancelled

Dec 16, 2018

A few days ago, the CEO of ASUS, Jerry Shen stepped down from his position after 11 years at the helm of affairs. The company also announced that it would shift its smartphone strategy, focusing on gaming smartphones like its ASUS ROG Phone. This announcement generated news that ASUS will shut down the ZenFone line. The Taiwanese company released a statement to clarify the issue.

In a statement released to Gadgets 360, ASUS said it will continue to release phones under the ZenFone line while also expanding the gaming market by developing better phones for gamers and power users.

“With regard to doubts raised by some on the continuation of the ZenFone brand, we confirm that we will continue to develop the ZenFone series, while also aiming to expand the gaming smartphone market. We will focus on perfecting solutions for gamers and power users.”

It has also been reported that ASUS will increase its investments in AI, IoT, and more commercial areas in a bid to diversify its portfolio which is currently focused on consumer devices.

In terms of leadership, ASUS will now be run by two CEO’s – Sy Shu who currently heads the PC division and Samsun Hu who heads the global customer services department. Both will serve as co-CEOs.

Honor smartwatch rocking MediaTek SoC gets Bluetooth SIG certification

Dec 15, 2018

Just like its parent company Huawei, Honor has really been working so much these last few months. Since the shift of focus from flagship models, the brand has made several strides in the mid-range and budget segment. The inexpensive Honor 8C and Honor 8X are already making great pace in India. During the various shopping holiday activities, the company’s products sold in droves. Even the high-end models like the Honor Magic 2 and the eagerly-awaited Honor View 20 are beginning to carve out a high prestige for the brand in the higher market and likewise in the innovation segments.

Away from the smartphone segment, the Honor brand also has its tentacles spread to the smart wearable market. Honor only newly released its Watch Magic – a more or less slightly downgraded twin to the Huawei Watch GT. Now, a new Honor watch is already on the horizon, as shown by a Bluetooth SIG certification.

Unfortunately, a lot of hardware details was not given by the public document on the mystery gadget which goes by the model number “ELF-G10”. The document does, however, specifically refer to it as a “smartwatch”, as opposed to the various style of wearable, like the Honor Band 4. Still, the smart bit is obviously present, hence the Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy standard support the document is meant to certify.

Another interesting bit of information about the watch is that it will obviously be based on a MediaTek platform. While definitely not unheard of, it will be a far less common option of the chipset as compared to Qualcomm’s wearable solutions, which presently have a greater share of the market. However, Huawei and consequently Honor have begun experimenting on both hardware and software fronts with their recent wearables. The Watch GT, for example, makes use of an innovative dual-chipset design, with a custom ultra-low-power chip running most of the basic functions of the watch and a more stronger package only setting in when needed. On the software side, the two companies now possess their own LiteOS operating system for watches. Perhaps Honor is devising means to optimise battery even further with different experimental platform design in this recent wearable.

T-Mobile and Sprint merger deal approval reportedly hinged on ditching Huawei’s technology

Dec 15, 2018

The long-awaited proposed merger between U.S. carriers T-Mobile and Sprint may finally obtain regulatory authorization as early as the coming week. The government regulatory bodies involved with authorizing the merger, agree that it can move forward, this is according to a new report from Reuters. However, the approval might hinge on an unexpected requirement: that Deutsche Telekom AG (T-Mobile’s parent company) and SoftBank Group Corp (Sprint’s parent company) fail to use Huawei equipment in their respective worldwide networks.

According to Reuters, both parent companies reported that they are “considering” complying to the requirement to get the deal to go through. At the moment, neither Sprint or T-Mobile use Huawei network equipment in the United States. Nevertheless, both SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom use Huawei equipment for their networks respectively everywhere in the world. The approval of the T-Mobile-Sprint merger would make both companies to slowly phase out Huawei equipment currently in use and refuse to buy Huawei equipment going forward.

The source for this Reuters report says that Deutsche Telekom has been pressured by U.S. government officials in particular, to stop using Huawei equipment, mentioning security concerns related to Huawei’s alleged ties to the Chinese government. Huawei has repeatedly stated that these security concerns are invalid. However, several countries — including the U.S., Australia, and Japan has refused to use Huawei equipment for all or some of its networking purposes. If the T-Mobile-Sprint merger approval becomes successful, it would cut the “Big Four” carriers down to the “Big Three,” with the other remaining U.S. carriers being AT&T and Verizon. The combined T-Mobile-Sprint company would simply be called T-Mobile.

Dec 15, 2018

Another special edition dedicated to a car company is official: it is OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition, and it joins a niche of premium devices which is attracting consumers every day more. In this article, we will compare it with two other special editions: Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Edition and Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition. Are they worth the money asked and which one should you choose? Here we will try to give you the answer.

OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition vs Huawei Mate 20 Porsche Design Edition vs Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition

	OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition	Huawei Mate 20 Porsche Design Edition	Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	157.5 x 74.8 x 8.2 mm, 185 g	157.8 x 72.3 x 9.7 mm, 187 g	156.7 x 74.2 x 9.4 mm, 186 g
DISPLAY	6.41 inches, 1080 x 2340p (Full HD+), Super AMOLED	6.39 inches, 1440 x 3120p (Quad HD+), AMOLED	6.42 inches, 1080 x 2340p (Full HD+), 19.5:9 ratio, AMOLED
PROCESSOR	Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, octa-core 2.8 GHz	Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 980, octa-core 2.6 GHz	Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, octa-core 2.8 GHz
MEMORY	10 GB RAM, 256 GB	8 GB RAM, 256 GB – 8 GB RAM, 512 GB – Nano Memory slot	8 GB RAM, 512 GB
SOFTWARE	Android 9 Pie, Oxygen OS	Android 9 Pie, EMUI 9.0	Android 9 Pie, Color OS
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS
CAMERA	Dual 16 + 20 MP camera, f/1.7 and f/1.7	Triple 40 + 20 + 8 MP, f/1.8 + f/2.2 + f/2.4, OIS, Laser AF 24 MP f/2.0 front camera	Dual 16 + 20 MP, f/2.0 25 MP, f/2.0 front camera
BATTERY	3700 mAh, fast charging with Warp Charge	4200 mAh, fast charging 40W, wireless charging 15W	3400 mAh, fast charging with Super VOOC Flash Charge
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot, waterproof (IP68), reverse wireless charging	Dual SIM slot, slider design

Design

If we exclude the companies’ customizations for the special editions and we only consider the original design, Oppo Find X is undoubtedly the most beautiful and innovative device. Indeed, it is the first phone with a motorized slider and a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent without the need of a notch. When it comes to customizations, the one of Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Edition intrigues me more because of its back made of genuine leather and glass.

Display

The display with the highest quality is the AMOLED panel found on the Huawei Mate 20, with a higher resolution than its opponents and a more accurate color reproduction. It has a bigger notch, but it boasts a 3D facial recognition system. Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition and OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition feature a similar display quality, but, even though OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is the only with a notch, I define it better because of its Gorilla Glass 6 protection for the front glass and good DCI-P3 coverage.

Hardware/Software

There are no consistent differences in performances when it comes to these three devices, but Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Edition has a slightly better SoC: the new Kirin 980 realized with a 7 nm production process which is able to provide a very high speed and higher scores on benchmarks. OnePlus 6T McLaren comes with 10 GB of RAM, but a better chipset is definitely more important. At last, Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Edition is the only to feature an expandable storage. So I would choose it for its hardware. The software is very nice in each case: Android Pie out of the box with very efficient customizations.

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Edition has the best camera department of 2018. It is the same as Huawei P20 Pro with a rear triple camera and a 40 MP resolution for the main sensor. Until now, no device has been able to compete with the outstanding photo quality provided by this triple camera in every scenario. At the second place, we can definitely put the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition with its f/1.7 aperture for both the sensors of its dual camera, but it is a lot inferior to Huawei’s flagship.

Battery

Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Edition comes with the biggest battery as well as the longest battery life. OnePlus 6T McLaren is at the second place with its one-day battery life (even more in some scenarios), while Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition has the smallest battery but it charges faster than each of its opponents: it is able to reach 100 percent of charge in just 30 minutes. I would personally pick Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design because for me battery life is more important than fast charging, plus, Huawei’s flagship is the only smartphone in the market to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

Price

Given that these are special editions, these devices are way costlier than their standard versions. When it comes to specifications, Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Edition is the best device of the trio and it costs €1600/$1800, Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition is the less attractive for me (unless you are Lamborghini fans or innovative designs lovers) with a price tag of €1700/$1920, a worse camera and a shorter battery life, while OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is the one with the best value for money as it costs just €700/$700.

Realme reveals update schedule, confirms Android Pie-based ColorOS 6 coming next year

Dec 15, 2018

Having an effective communication channel with your customers is a great step towards success and Realme seems to have embraced that culture. Yesterday, the manufacturer released a post detailing its update schedule, mainly for the month of December but also for what is to come in 2019.

Below are the devices getting updates this month along with the changelog and when they will get them:

Device	Changelog	Time
Realme 1	AI Beauty + Vivid Mode together Photographer Watermark *Security Patch	End of December
Realme 2 and Realme C1	*ColorOS 5.2	End of December
Realme 2 Pro	Fix for notification blinking issue with developer mode. Slow motion. *Security Patch	End of December
Realme U1	Fix for notification blinking issue with developer mode. Security Patch.	January

I am sure Realme 2 and Realme C1 owners are pretty excited to know ColorOS 5.2 is coming this month. The update already arrived on the Realme 1 a few weeks ago.

Realme says the exact dates for the updates have not been determined. There is also a chance that the OTA update won’t arrive on some devices until January since it will be a gradual roll-out.

OnePlus explains Warp Charge 30, will work with your old OnePlus cable

By

Dec 15, 2018

One of the top features of the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is its Warp Charge 30 fast-charging technology. While OnePlus hasn’t officially said it yet, this is definitely the successor to Fast Charge, formerly known as Dash Charge. OnePlus released a post on its forums explaining how Warp Charge 30 works and some other important details.

The name, Warp Charge is formed from a combination of its power rating (30 Watts) and the word “Warp” which is used to describe an insanely fast speed in sci-fi space movies. Warp Charge is OnePlus’s fastest charging-technology so far as it can provide up to a day’s power by charging for just 20 minutes.

Like Fast Charge, the phone (OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition) doesn’t heat up when you charge the phone using Warp Charge. This is because a large part of the power management that heats up is transferred to the wall adapter itself instead of the phone. Also, charging while gaming is equally fast too. Below are charts that show Warp Charge 30 in comparison against Adaptive Fast Charge of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and USB PD of the Google Pixel 3 XL.

[envira-gallery id=”227892″]

If you are wondering why the regular OnePlus 6T doesn’t support Warp Charge, OnePlus says it is because they had to alter the safety mechanisms of the battery assembly in the McLaren Edition to support the additional increase in power. They also had to upgrade the components of the battery’s protection structure and added an 8-layer protection board to the battery to provide more efficient cooling.

Dec 15, 2018

Earlier this week, Realme launched its latest device, the Realme U1, in Indonesia. The phone which is called the SelfiePro is the first in the world to be powered by the Helio P70 processor.

The Realme U1 will be sold in Indonesia in two variants – a 3GB RAM + 32GB version and a 4GB RAM + 64GB version. The 3GB version is priced at Rp 2,499,000 (~$171) while the 4GB RAM version is priced at Rp. 2,899,000 (~$199). The prices are said to be special prices as their original prices are Rp. 2,699,000 and Rp. 2,999,000 respectively.

[envira-gallery id=”227875″]

The Realme U1 is exclusive to Indonesian online store Shopee, and will have its first sale on December 20.

The Realme U1 has a 6.3-inch 2340 x 1080 display with a tear-drop notch and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The display is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. MediaTek’s Helio P70 processor is under the hood and it draws power from a 3500mAh battery.

Huawei P30 Pro screen protectors suggest waterdrop notch display

Dec 15, 2018

Huawei is going to unveil the successor to the first triple camera beast, Huawei P20 Pro soon in coming months. The device which we believe to be the Huawei P30 Pro has been leaked multiple times so far. Just like the P20 Pro, the P30 Pro is expected to be a top-tier device with some crazy, innovative stuff. Now, a screen protector of the purported P30 Pro has surfaced online revealing waterdrop notch.

The new screen protector leak backs the previous report that Huawei P30 Pro might not be having in-display camera technology which is now quickly becoming the new display standard. From the leaked stills, the cut out for waterdrop notch is recognizable. Suggesting, the P30 Pro could be similar to the OnePlus 6T and some other water-drop notch bearing devices.

Usually, the screen protector and case leaks shed more light and are close to the reality. Because the screen protector manufacturers couldn’t afford to design the products based on wrong design elements. It’s worth mentioning, and the leaked picture comes from the reliable leak source – Slashleaks.

Moreover, a previous report claims of BOE displays being employed on the P30 Pro. If that’s the case, the change is even feasible for Huawei P30 Pro to have the punch-hole OLED display. Since Samsung is the only firm currently possessing the bragging rights to use or supply Infinity-O OLED displays.

Not so much details about the Huawei P30 Pro has surfaced so far. However, it’s highly likely that the device could come with Sony’s latest IMX607 camera sensor with 38MP CMOS. If that comes out to be true, we could see Huawei step the camera game even further next year with the P30 Pro.

Possible Samsung Galaxy S10+ 5G Version (SM-G977) spotted in the wild

By

-

Dec 15, 2018

Rumour has it that the 5G version of the Galaxy S10+ may have been spotted. For over three months now multiple carrier cooperation with Sammy had revealed that such a model is indeed on the way even though Samsung won’t confirm that officially. A recent piece of information indicates that the device bears the model number SM-G977, which could be the first proper verification and approval of its presence.

The 5G model was seen with both the SM-G977U and SM-G977N model numbers as acquired by the folks over at Galaxy Club. These respectively could be the US and South Korean variants, suggesting that Samsung is working on the 5G model. There is no mention of the European model with number SM-G977F. This however doesnt mean that Samsung isnt preparing one. The 5G Galaxy S10+ is expected to reach consumers earliest June 2019. This means that the smartphone probably isnt that far down the development line.

Another thing worth taking note of is the fact that 5G networks will be more pronounced in the US and South Korea by then when it comes to accepting next-generation mobile networks, Europe is typically slower to adopt next-generation technology, so it makes sense for Samsung to give precedence to these variants that were spotted.

This 5G variant of the Galaxy S10+ aligns with the categorization of the Galaxy S10 Lite (SM-G970), Galaxy S10 (SM-G973) and, of course, the regular Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975). Prior to the commencement of sales on March 8, Galaxy S10 Lite (SM-G970), Galaxy S10 (SM-G973) and, Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975) will all be announced at an event in February. But the date of announcement of the 5G model still remains unknown.

OnePlus has always received excellent third-party development due to immense popularity and some OnePlus policies. This time also, OnePlus’s latest flagship devices are getting a lot of developer’s love in the development arena. Recently, Xiaomi’s MIUI 10 has been ported for OnePlus 6 and 6T devices. It’s seen rarely when an OEM ROM is ported to other devices. It’s quite impressive that OnePlus support in the development arena is extending across AOSP ROM to some third party OEM’s ROMs.

A senior XDA member, ProtoDeVNan0 has created a port of MIUI 10 for OnePlus latest offerings. The MIUI 10 port is based on Xiaomi’s 8.11.23 build of Android Pie. In order to install it on the OnePlus 6 or 6T, you should have OB8 or newer version. Currently, it is in earlier stages and we expect some more work to be done before it gets more stable.

Until now, few features are not working and it contains some bugs also. NFC is not working, and even the flashlight toggle is out of work. Though, users can use the third-party flashlight apps. Further, MIUI 10 stock camera app is out of work and users have to rely on the third party camera apps such as Google camera and OxygenOS camera. There are some bugs in the Alert Slide and Auto rotation feature. The Auto rotation toggle freezes your settings once touched.

Users won’t be able to use apps such as Netflix and Google Pay due to security concerns over unlocked bootloader.

Users who still want to enjoy the MIUI 10 on OnePlus 6 or 6T they can do so by simply flashing the zip. Keep in mind to flash the zip only if your device is on OB8 firmware for OnePlus 6 or OB9.0.7 for 6T. However, your device should have unlocked bootloader and custom twrp recovery installed.

Well, it seems quite illogical to test the beta MIUI 10 ROM on OnePlus 6 which have various bugs. However, developers should get hands-on the latest development in the OnePlus community.

So, how many of you are going to test it?
