Vivo Nex 3 5G officially confirmed, to launch next month

Chinese smartphone company Vivo has officially revealed the Vivo Nex 3 5G phone by sharing an image on its Weibo page. The company has confirmed that the flagship device will be launched in China next month, which is September. Even before any other official announcements, a few reports surfaced on the web claiming that the phone will be powered by Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC along with the Snapdragon X50 5G modem.

Vivo product manager Li Xiang replied to a comment dropping a hint that the device will be launched on September 1. The device will first come to China. India availability is still unclear but could be by the end of September.

Apart from that GSMArena shared a video teaser of Vivo Nex 3 5G. At the end of the video, we can see a man flaunting the latest smartphone by Vivo. The phone flaunts a triple rear camera set up placed in a circular module and a NEX branding on the rear panel. While going through the video we also managed to notice a pop-up selfie camera along with a huge screen along with a 3.3mm headphone jack.

A few weeks ago, some sketches of Vivo Nex 3 5G were shared by the company’s manager on the internet that also revealed that the Vivo Nex will debut with a triple camera setup positioned in a circular module on the back panel of the phone. While the front panel will come with a 100% screen-to-body ratio along with waterfall-like edges. Vivo’s manager also shared a partial screenshot of the home screen that displays the 5G icons on the top left as well as the top right corner of the screen. Li Xiang also confirmed that the phone will have a waterfall screen and will hold the 3.5mm headphone jack.

At the moment (in all the leaks) this smartphone looks too good to be true. If Vivo produces this smartphone at a competitive price, then they have a sure winner at hand, which can go up against the likes of OnePlus 7 Pro. That at the moment is ruling the premium smartphone segment.

Apple released iOS 12.4.1 update that patches vulnerabilities that allowed iPhone Jailbreak

Apple released iOS 12.4.1 update that patches vulnerabilities that allowed iPhone Jailbreak

Apple has started rolling out a new iOS update. The iOS 12.4.1 update fixes the vulnerability that Apple left unpatched in its previous iOS 12.4 update. The bug permitted the hacker to implement code on any of its devices like the iPhone or the iPad that left it vulnerable to hacking risks.

The iOS 12.4.1 update has been brought for the Apple’s various devices starting from iPhone 5s and above, iPad Air and later versions as well as the iPod Touch 6th generation. The company is soon bringing the iOS 13 sometime in September so this may be the last iOS 12 update.

The premium smartphone company accidentally left many of its up to date devices susceptible to hacking risk by releasing the earlier iOS 12.4 update that has fixes over the last update. Apple’s security advisory says “a malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary code with system privileges”.

Apple devices never allow any unsupported apps on its iOS platform. On its devices, like the iPhone and iPad, have system privileges or root privileges that allow the user to run apps or code while interacting directly with the basic code of the iOS operating system. This is known as Jailbreaking that allows people to run unsupported apps making its devices insecure that also leads to data privacy and data security risks. It also increases the risk of malware, spyware and data violation. As a result, many of the iPhone users also tweeted that they were doing well running the “jailbreak”, which the company is against.

Using malware or spyware loaded app on the Jailbroken iPhone may result in allowing the attackers the access to apps, the right to use/see your messages, contacts, files stored in the phone, allowing it to track your location, keylogging as well as even snoop in on your calls.

If you have not updated your phones or other devices you can download and install the iOS 12.4.1 update by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

Recently Apple head of security Ivan Krstic at the Black Hat Security conference announced that Apple is offering a $1 million reward that is approximately Rs 7.05 crore to cybersecurity researchers to help the company in order to make its devices safer so as to protect them against hacks. This programme will include iOS, macOS along with other Apple OS’s. Apart from that, the company is also giving out customised iPhones to select researchers to detect security flaws.

Indian Techie discovered a vulnerability on Instagram and won Rs 7.2 lakhs.

Indian Techie discovered a vulnerability on Instagram and won Rs 7.2 lakhs.

Last month India techie Laxman Muthiyah won $30,000 (approximately Rs. 21.6 lakhs) from the Facebook for spotting a vulnerability in Instagram and now again he has won $10,000 (approximately Rs. 7.2 lakhs) from the social media giant. This time he spotted an account takeover vulnerability on the Instagram that allows anyone to hack Instagram accounts without consent permission. However, both Instagram and Facebook team have fixed the issue and in return awarded the Chennai-based security researcher $10,000 as a part of their bounty program.

Security researcher Laxman Muthiyah shared this news through his blog post that says “Facebook and Instagram security team fixed the issue and rewarded me $10,000 as a part of their bounty program.”

According to him, the device ID is the unique identifier used by the Instagram server to authenticate password reset codes. When a user requests a passcode using his / her mobile device, a device ID is sent along with the request. The same device ID is used again to verify the passcode.

He further explained that device ID is a random string that is generated by the Instagram app. The same ID can be used to request multiple passcodes of different users. When the 6 digits passcodes are requested of several users this increases the possibility of hacking the accounts.

“For example, if you request a passcode of 100 thousand users using the same device ID, you can have a 10 percent success rate since 100k codes are issued to the same device ID.  If we request passcodes for 1 million users, we would be able to hack all the one million accounts easily by incrementing the passcode one by one.”

So in order to hack the account, the hacker needs to request codes of 1 million users. Moreover, the expiry of the passcodes is 10 minutes so the entire attack should happen within 10 minutes.

He further informed that the account takeover vulnerability has been fixed by the Facebook security team and no one can hack the Instagram accounts using this vulnerability.

After this Facebook thanked Muthiyah and awarded him $10,000. In its letter Facebook said “You identified insufficient protections on a recovery endpoint, allowing an attacker to generate numerous valid nuances to then attempt recovery. Thank you again for this report”

Apple and Samsung have been sued over radio frequency exposure

Apple and Samsung have been sued over radio frequency exposure

Smartphone manufacturer Apple and Samsung have been sued because of a report that claims their smartphones emits harmful radio frequency (RF) exposure. The class-action suit was filed against both the companies in the US District Court for the Northern District of California over alleged damages and problems related to RF exposure.

According to a report by appleinsider, the case takes issue with marketing materials that claim the products operate within regulated guidelines, with neither company issuing warnings about potential negative health effects related to the allegedly high RF emissions.

“Numerous recent scientific publications, supported by hundreds of scientists worldwide, have shown that RF radiation exposure affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines,” the filing reads. “Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans.”

As per the suit, Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and iPhone X and Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 were found to be releasing radio-frequency radiation exposure. The legal suit depends on the results of the test done by an independent study RF Exposure Lab on behalf of the Chicago Tribune.

As per the complaint previously Apple declared RF exposure information that also includes Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), for public viewing. In addition to this, the company also provided recommended the closest distance at which a user should carry the smartphone. The complaint also mentioned that with the release of iPhone 7 the company stopped providing the information.

In its defense, the company stated that “were inaccurate due to the test setup not being in accordance with procedures necessary to properly assess the iPhone models.”

“All iPhone models, including iPhone 7, are fully certified by the FCC and in every other country where iPhone is sold,” the company added. “After careful review and subsequent validation of all iPhone models tested in the (Tribune) report, we confirmed we are in compliance and meet all applicable exposure guidelines and limits.”

According to the FCC guidelines, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is an amount of the of RF energy absorption by the body from the source being measured for a cell phone. FCC said, “Many people mistakenly assume that using a cell phone with a lower reported SAR value necessarily decreases a user’s exposure to RF emissions, or is somehow ‘safer’ than using a cell phone with a high SAR value,”

Over that, the AI feature will also permit the user to copy the text that appears in the photos and paste that text onto a document or a note.

The company announced this new feature on its official twitter account when it was spotted by a user. In response to him, the company said, “You spotted it! Starting this month, we’re rolling out the ability to search your photos by the text in them. Once you find the photo you’re looking for, click the Lens button to easily copy and paste the text.

No more treats for Android users, Google will just name Android versions numerically

No more treats for Android users, Google will just name Android versions numerically

It was more of a treat for Android consumers when Google asked them to think of a candy/dessert name for its next Android operating system. Well, seems like it had become too much of an effort for the Alphabet-owned company to come up with a candy/dessert name with each alphabet. Also, they would have run out of alphabets in a couple of years. Which is why Google has decided to go ahead and just name the next operating system as Android 10. No alphabetical character will be attached to the system.

In a post which appeared on Google’s blog said, “This naming tradition has become a fun part of the release each year externally, too. But, we’ve heard feedback over the years that the names weren’t always understood by everyone in the global community”. The engineering team used to give dessert name to the new OS releases (internally).

The blog post defined a lot of terms are not being distinguished between in a lot of languages and some of the words used like ‘Pie” are not even a dessert. Gadget Bridge had pointed out that earlier in 2018 the same thing that Pie is not a dessert, since there are savoury pies too. Seems like Google heard that and delisted the dessert.

The blog post further says, “So, when some people heard us say Android Lollipop out loud, it wasn’t intuitively clear that it referred to the version after KitKat. It’s even harder for new Android users, who are unfamiliar with the naming convention, to understand if their phone is running the latest version,”

Also, “As a global operating system, it’s important that these names are clear and relatable for everyone in the world. So, this next release of Android will simply use the version number and be called Android 10,” it said.

So, seems like the next version of the operating systems by Google will be named numerically, Android 10. This will give them a global appeal as all languages have the numerical system. Since Android 7, the number appeal to the operating system has grown tremendously. The numerical system has been taken up by a lot of successful businesses to name its releases and OS. Take for example Microsoft Windows, which has been naming its operating systems with a numeric value and they have been successful at it. Windows 10 is a perfect example.

Also, Android 10, has a great ring to it, doesn’t it?
