Samsung seems to be grabbing all the headlines now with its newest offerings to the smartphone world – the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e. The smartphones come with the top-of-the-line processor, Infinity-O display, great camera setup and much more. This time the camera of the S10+ has grabbed the headlines as it has been ranked as the best selfie camera smartphone right now. The Galaxy S10+ beat Google’s Pixel 3, which held the title earlier and which happens to be known for its photography-centric features.
Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10+ both come with a triple rear camera setup but it is the plus-sized variant of Galaxy S10 which has the dual front camera. The front camera setup of the Samsung Galaxy S10+ comprises of a 10MP primary selfie camera with 1.22-micron pixels, f/1.9 aperture and Dual-Pixel autofocus + an 8MP f/2.2 RGB secondary sensor for depth sensing. Google Pixel 3 too had dual selfie camera and it was ranked at the top of the charts, but Galaxy S10+ overthrew the old champion of selfie cameras.
In a test by DxOMark, Samsung Galaxy S10+ has got a selfie camera score of 96, which is the highest any Samsung smartphone has ever scored. Google Pixel 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 9 both score 92 in the selfie camera test. So, Galaxy S10+ became the first Samsung phone to score that high on the charts. Samsung Galaxy S10+ got an overall score of 109 in the camera test, which is the same as other smartphones like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Huawei P20 Pro. Both these phones from Huawei had great cameras.
DxOMark is an independent image quality measurements and rating website for smartphones, cameras and lens since 2008. The website recently started reviewing and scoring selfie cameras of smartphones and till now the Pixel 3’s dual selfie cameras were standing at the top.
DxOMark said that the Samsung Galaxy S10+ has “the best front camera performance for both still images and video.” The review of the website talks about the picture detail of the Galaxy S10+ camera, its low noise and its improved bokeh effect in Portrait mode.
But it should also be noted that when testing the rear camera of the Galaxy S10+, it did not beat Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro, instead, it had the same score as them. The rear camera of Samsung’s plus-sized flagship comprises of a 12MP primary camera with 1.4-micron pixels and Dual Aperture (f/1.5-2.4), Dual-Pixel autofocus and OIS + a 16MP secondary camera with an ultra-wide-angle f/2.4 lens + a 12MP telephoto f/2.4 camera with PDAF and OIS.
Coming to camera samples, DxOMark said that the still photo performance of the device is great and it does an ‘outstanding’ job with its dynamic range. The pictures taken from Galaxy S10+ were great in their exposure, bokeh and colour. Samsung Galaxy S10+ is currently selling for a starting price of Rs 73,900.
Japanese consumer electronics maker Sony will soon be seen unveiling its new Xperia smartphone lineup at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2019, which is scheduled to begin on February 25. However, there is no need for you to wait until then to see what the company will be launching.
This is because a report has surfaced on technology website 91mobiles with the leaks of the entire lot along with images, specifications and pricing details. The report says that Sony will be seen launching four smartphones at the upcoming technology show. These include Sony Xperia L3, Xperia 10, Xperia 10 Plus and the company’s flagship smartphone – Xperia 1.
We should mention that the names of the smartphones are the same as a previous leak by renowned tipster Evan Blass. The tipster had shared the images of Xperia 1, Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus on his Twitter profile just a few hours before the report had surfaced online.
In the image, it can be seen that Sony is not changing the Xperia look too much. All the four devices will sport a design that is similar to Sony Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ3 that was launched last year. The devices will have curved metal edges and come with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that will be embedded in the power buttons. However, even in this day and age, the bezels of the smartphone will be disappointingly large.
So, if you thought that Sony’s smartphones will come with an edge-to-edge display, you will have to be disappointed. But then, Sony will be getting something different as the devices will come with a 21:9 aspect ratio on its higher-end devices. The company even has a name for this kind of display and it will be calling it ‘Cinema-wide.’ This suggests that the display of smartphones will prove to be excellent when used for watching videos. Here’s a look at the rest of the specifications of the upcoming devices from Sony:

Facebook’s Onavo Protect app is about to shut down in the coming days, and this will cease it from accessing data of users for market research. However, it will continue operating as a Virtual Private Network for a limited period of time in order to allow users to find a replacement. The recruitment of new users for the Facebook Research app has also completely stopped.
However, Facebook Research app studies which are ongoing will continue. It has decided to run paid programs where users will be remunerated for giving up their privacy since more scrutiny of privacy violation has begun by search engines.
Onavo has billed itself in such a way, that it is able to curb apps from using background data. It will provide a secure VPN network so that your personal information remains reticent. However, it will take into account, the amount of time you spend using apps, mobile and WiFi data you use per app, websites you visit, your country, device and network type.
A Facebook spokesperson said, “Market research helps companies build better products for people. We are shifting our focus to reward-based market research which means we’re going to end the Onavo program.”
To recall, Facebook acquired Onavo in 2013 for a price of $200 million so that it can use its VPN app and gather data about what people are doing on their smartphones. Last year Apple made Facebook remove the Onavo VPN app from app store due to privacy concerns. However, Facebook repurposed Onavo code to use it in its Facebook Research app. This app was reportedly paying $20 gift cards to users in the US between the age group of 13 to 35 years per month in return of letting them spy on them.
The social media giant ran an obscure program, which informed nothing to users other than whom it recruited for its Facebook Research program. A Facebook spokesperson reportedly said that there is nothing secret about this. However, it threatened users with legal action if they discussed anything publicly about the programme.

Japanese electronics company Panasonic has launched new ranges of air conditioners in India named Advance series and Arch series. The ACs come with Twin Cool Inverter, Aerowings and 4-way Airflow, which provides ample cooling and saves energy. The company has stated that the new range of ACs are capable of removing harmful particles from the air like PM 2.5. It also comes with Nanoe technology and AG Clean Filter which is capable of making the air clean.
According to the company, the newly launched AC ranges are durable, tough and have corrosion-free parts in them. With its new ranges of ACs, Panasonic’s aim is to provide ‘Quality Air for Life’ to its customers, according to the company. They are priced from Rs 39,900 to Rs 53,990 and come in 3-star and 5-star category. Their models come in 1 ton, 1.2 ton,1.5 ton and 2 ton variants. These ACs can work between a range of 145 V to 285 V and can be used without setting up a stabilizer. The newly launched air conditioners come with a 10-year warranty on inverter compressor and a 5-year warranty on eco tough outdoor casing.
Speaking about the new devices, Gaurav Sah, Business Head of Air Conditioners Group, Panasonic India said, “Our new range not only aims at improving indoor air quality, but also promotes better and healthier living among consumers by helping them make informed choices.”
The newly launched ACs have three vital elements – Maximizing comfort, prioritizing health of the user and the durability of the product. The Aero-wings in the ACs has 4 way swings which give a wider air flow. After reaching the temperature set by the user, blades of the AC direct the air towards the ceiling so that it can give ‘Shower Cooling effect’. This feature makes sure that the air and the temperature spreads evenly in the room rather than cooling only the front of the AC. They also have a powerful mode which cools the room/environment quickly.
Sah further added that, “Panasonic air conditioners have been commanding No. 1 position in Japan for the last 10 years. We are also the No 1. Brand in the Asia Pacific and worldwide we have sold more than 10 Cr ACs. India is a strategic market for our growth in the segment and with such advancements, we are looking at growing our market share by 15% in the next three years.”
The company guarantees that the Nanoe technology used in the AC purifies the air and removes 99% of dust, PM2.5, stops virus and bacteria growth. The technology uses ‘nano-sized electrostatic atomized water particles to deodorize and remove the harmful substances’ from the air even when the AC is turned off. The newly launched Panasonic Arch series uses AG clean filter which uses silver ions that have anti-bacterial effect and it also improves the air-quality of the room.
Chinese smartphone brand Meizu upcoming smartphone Note 9 or M9 Note has been leaked several times over the last few weeks. And now, the company has confirmed that it will be launching the Meizu Note 9 smartphone in China next month on March 6. With this, it has also been confirmed by the company that the upcoming device will be called Meizu Note 9 and not Meizu M9 Note.
We should mention that Meizu Note 9 smartphone has previously been spotted on TENAA, and the listing gave us an insight into the specifications and the design details of the device. Furthermore, another smartphone called Meizu 16s has also surfaced online and its image reveals the front panel of the handset.
To announce the launch date of the Meizu Note 9 smartphone, the company published a poster on Chinese social networking website Weibo. The image that has been posted confirms that the Meizu Note 9 smartphone will be launched in China on March 6 next month. However, this is the only detail that we got from the poster of the smartphone.
However, we do have some details about the Meizu Note 9 smartphone because it got listed on TENAA. According to the listing, the device will come with a waterdrop-shaped notch and have a slightly broader chin at the bottom. Meizu Note 9 smartphone will come with a glossy back panel and it will house dual rear cameras that will be stacked vertically one below the other. The listing also suggests that the device will house a fingerprint scanner on its back panel. Furthermore, it is expected to come with a metallic frame that will have the power and volume buttons on the right edge and the SIM tray on the left edge.
Some specifications of the smartphone have also surfaced online. Meizu Note 9 smartphone will reportedly run Android 9 Pie operating system and feature a 6.2-inch full-HD+ (1080×2244 pixels) IPS display. The smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 675 processor clubbed with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The device is expected to come with a 48MP primary camera and a 5MP secondary camera on its back panel. The listing on TENAA also says that Meizu Note 9 will come with a 20MP selfie camera and house a 3,900mAh battery.
The device is expected to be available in Dark Ochre, Silver Ochre, and Starry Blue colours after its launch. To recall, Meizu made a comeback in the Indian market in December last year by with its M16th, M6T and C9 smartphones.
Last year, Google had imposed new regulations on Google Play Store in order to make Android apps target recent Android versions only. The intention was to establish security measures in new Android apps. For example, restricting background apps and runtime permissions. Runtime feature was incorporated in Android 6.0 Marshmallow (API level 23). New applications were submitted to Google Play from August 2018 aiming at Android 8.0 Oreo or higher. At the same time, there are existing updates submitted after November 2018 that are also aimed at API level 26.
As per the new timelines, these apps are required to target Android 9.0 Pie or higher by August 2019. Also, there are updates of the existing apps, which are required to target API level 28 or higher ROM by November 2019. We foresaw these changes considering our knowledge about the advancing API level restrictions on the Google Play Store. Chinese applications such as Huawei, OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent are going to be persuaded to target applications with newer API levels. Google will tackle other app stores for ensuring the same, too.
To give you the timeline of this, new apps will receive warnings and be told to target Android 8.0 Oreo, if not higher by August 2019. In November 2019, new versions of existing apps will get warning to not target API below level 26. From 2020, the target API level requirement will advance annually.
With this move, users will have the latest app versions that will give them a better user experience. The ones who are part of Android 8.1 Oreo programme or higher, will eventually get advanced versions of apps and the apps for older Android versions are going to become extinct.
Google can only restrict apps from targeting older Android versions, which are exclusively part of its own platform. However, the ones which are part of other platforms, Google cannot compulsorily curb them. In case you want to download them, Google will give you a warning about it being obsolete. However, if you want to download them, you can ignore the warning and go ahead.

Having sub-brands seems to have become the latest trend in the technology industry. First, Huawei launched its Honor sub-brand, followed by Realme from Oppo, and POCO from Xiaomi. Following suit, Chinese smartphone maker Vivo also introduced its sub-brand named iQoo a few days back. And right after the company announced iQoo, reports about the sub-brand’s first smartphone, which will launch on March 1 in China, also started surfacing online.
On Wednesday, the company teased information about the upcoming smartphone launch on social media. It was not the first time that the company teased information about the upcoming smartphone. Earlier Vivo posted a teaser video of iQoo’s upcoming smartphone, which revealed some key features of the handset like Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. However, a number of specifications still remain undisclosed and there is no word about the pricing of the smartphone.
Vivo iQoo posted on Weibo, a Chinese social platform that it will be launching its new smartphone on March 1 at an event in Shenzhen, China. The company has also asked the fans to register for the event while some fans will be invited by the company itself to go and watch the live launch of the smartphone at the event. The teaser of the phone carries a tagline which reads “Born powerful and monster insider” which could mean the presence of Snapdragon’s flagship CPU onboard.
In an early teaser, the company revealed that the smartphone will come with 12GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage and 4,000mAh battery. The battery will come support 44W fast charging. The upcoming iQoo smartphone will also have USB Type-C port instead of the regular USB port. Other known features of the upcoming smartphone of Vivo’s iQoo are an in-display fingerprint scanner and a Super HDR camera, which the company introduced in 2018.

The smartphone was teased in China during a sports broadcast where the company showed a brief glimpse of the upcoming smartphone which sported a triple rear camera setup. But further details of the camera – like its resolution and special capabilities – are not known as of now.
Vivo hasn’t revealed yet if the upcoming iQoo smartphone will be launched exclusively for the Chinese market or it will be released in international markets as well. It is still two weeks before the launch of the smartphone so we may get to hear more about the upcoming device before it is officially released by the company.

As we mentioned earlier, besides posting the invite on its social media, Realme also sent it out to media confirming that the launch event will be held in New Delhi on the said date.
As of now, Realme has not given too much information about its upcoming smartphone. However, we know from the teaser that Realme 3 will come with a dual rear camera setup. It is also being reported that the device will come with a diamond cut case and will house a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Samsung had launched its virtual assistant Bixby to take on the likes of Google Assistant and Appel’s Siri. It was first introduced in Samsung Galaxy S8 where the company had provided a dedicated button for Bixby. However, Bixby did not manage to impress the user or the critics. It was even said that the dedicated Bixby button was useless.
Another thing that users didn’t like was the fact that they couldn’t remap the Bixby button on their Samsung device for some other ‘useful’ function. But with the introduction of Samsung Galaxy S10, the South Korean technology giant has finally given the option to remap the Bixby button to the function of users’ choice. And now, Samsung is giving the same option to the users of the old Galaxy smartphones so that they can remap the Bixby button to some other function of their liking.
In the upcoming Android update from Samsung, it is giving users the freedom to remap the Bixby button. With the update, users can remap the button to open any app or enable/disable any quick commands. This feature will be available to smartphones that have received the Android Pie update.
Samsung has confirmed that all the older Galaxy devices with a dedicated Bixby button will be getting the feature. This includes Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S8+, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung Galaxy S9+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

Cupertino-based technology giant Apple’s holiday quarter results have revealed that iPhone revenue dropped by 15% as compared to last year. However, as Apple now has a new reporting policy, an exact figure has not been disclosed.
According to Gartner, the number of units did go down, however, at a lower percentage of 11.8%. But we should mention that since the first quarter of 2016, this has been the worst ever quarterly decline for Apple.
The report by Gartner also says that iPhone unit sales reached 64.5 million during the quarter, as compared to 73.2 million in Q4 2017. If we take into account the entire year of 2018, iPhone sales have reportedly been down 2.7%, which means that just over 209 million units have been sold.
Samsung and Xiaomi also saw reductions in sales if we compare Q4 2018 to Q4 2017, however, Apple’s decline was the worst. The rest of the two smartphone makers in the top-five – Huawei and Oppo – are still enjoying a year-on-year growth. So, Apple’s decline has been the worst even if we consider the top five smartphone companies. However, in spite of this, Apple has managed to maintain its position on the second place, but it did see its position weaken from 17.9% share in Q4 2017 to 15.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Overall, the entire smartphone market did see a growth in 2018 as compared to 2017, however, it was only marginal at 0.1%. Furthermore, the total units across all vendors reached 408.4 million in Q4 2018, which again is slightly up from 40.8 million in Q4 2017.
With the exception of North America and some markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Apple largely saw a weak iPhone demand across the globe. The biggest declines came from Greater China, as Apple’s market share over there dropped from 14.6% to 8.8%.
According to Gartner senior research director Anshul Gupta, “Apple has to deal not only with buyers delaying upgrades as they wait for more innovative smartphones, but it also continues to face compelling high-price and mid-price smartphone alternatives from Chinese vendors. Both these challenges limit Apple’s unit sales growth prospects.”
While Apple secured the second position with 209 million units, the top spot was taken by Samsung. Chinese smartphone brand Huawei saw an increase of 52 million units in sales between 2017 and 2018.
After months of teases and leaks, the flagship smartphones of Samsung have finally been launched at the company’s Unpacked event in San Francisco yesterday. After their release, the internet was flooded with the news of the newly-launched Samsung smartphones and wearables. The prices of the devices too were revealed but that was for the American market. But now, the Indian pricing details of the Samsung Galaxy S10 series have finally been leaked.
Speaking of Samsung Galaxy S10+, which is the most premium of the three smartphones that have been launched, its base model will reportedly be priced at Rs 73,900. Its other two variants – one with 512GB storage and other with 1TB storage – are said to cost Rs 91,900 and Rs 1,17,900 respectively.
Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy S10 will have a starting price of Rs 66,900 for the base model while the 512GB storage variant will reportedly cost Rs 84,900. Lastly, Samsung Galaxy S10e which is the most affordable of the lot will be priced at Rs 55,900 for the 128GB storage variant.
Customers who are interested in buying the devices can pre-book them till March 5 on Samsung’s official website, Amazon, Flipkart, Paytm, Tata CLiQ and few retail outlets. The pre-booked customers will get the devices from March 6. But the actual sale of the Galaxy S10 will start from March 8 on all the above-mentioned platforms.
Customers who are opting to pre-book the devices will also be eligible for additional offers. The customers who pre-book will get one out of two Samsung’s products at a heavy discount. So, they will either get the new Galaxy Buds for Rs 2,999 or the new Galaxy Watch for Rs 9,999. We should mention that the actual price of the Galaxy Buds is Rs 9,990 while the Galaxy Watch costs Rs 29,990. These customers will also be eligible for an upgrade bonus up to Rs 15,000 and HDFC cashback up to Rs 6,000. There is also an EMI option for the purchase of the devices which ranges from 3 to 24 months.
Talking about the specifications of the smartphones, Samsung Galaxy S10e comes with a 5.8-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display. In India, the smartphone will be powered by 9 and will house a 3,100mAh battery. It will come in a 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant and an 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant with support for microSD cards. The device has dual rear camera setup with 12MP + 16MP sensors while the front camera has a 10MP sensor.
Samsung Galaxy S10 comes with a bigger 6.1-inch Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with 550 ppi pixel density. It too will be powered by Exynos 9820 SoC and will be available in 8GB RAM version along with 128GB or 256GB of storage options. Unlike the S10e, the Galaxy S10 has a triple camera setup comprising of 12MP + 12MP + 16MP sensors. The device has a 3,400mAh battery with fast charging 2.0 and Wireless Power Share feature. It runs on Android 9.0 Pie skinned with OneUI.
The most premium of the lot is Samsung Galaxy S10+ and it comes with a 6.4-inch Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display. It runs on Exynos 9820 processor (for Indian market) and comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 512GB of storage. There is also a variant with 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, which is the highest in any of Galaxy series. It has a 4,100mAh battery and it too comes with Fast charging 2.0 and Wireless Power Share feature. Like the Galaxy S10, it too will have a triple rear camera setup with 12MP + 12MP + 16MP sensors along with a 10MP front camera.
The report was first seen on indianexpress.com, where Jeff Fieldhack of Counter Point research told that the roughly $800 price point of the S10e is “highly unlikely this moves the dial in India” though all of the new S10 LTE family devices “look and feel very premium”.
Popular messaging app WhatsApp had introduced the biometric authentication feature for its iOS app a few weeks back. However, according to reports, the feature has already been tampered with.
A bug was discovered recently that reportedly allowed anyone to bypass Face and Touch ID authentication, making the user’s account vulnerable to third parties. A Reddit user, de X ter, found that the security lock in the instant messaging app was being evaded with the use of a bug. The Reddit user gave a detailed explanation on how this has been happening. He said, that the bug can be triggered if lock activation time in the app’s settings is kept in any duration except ‘Immediately’. We should mention that options other than ‘Immediately’ include 1 minute, 15 minutes, and 1 hour.
With the use of WhatsApp Share Extension in any apps, the messaging platform would not ask you for your Face ID and Touch ID authentication, even when the time limit which you have set is crossed, the Reddit user said. Consequently, when you open WhatsApp, the bug is activated and you can bypass the security authentication. In simpler words, the app will open without Face ID or Touch ID authentication. So, anyone with physical access to your iPhone will be able to access you messages because they wouldn’t be asked to submit biometric authentication.
However, you can tackle this issue with the method we are going to talk about now. Just choose the authentication kick-in time to ‘Immediately’. If you do this, then accessing your WhatsApp account from share sheet will prevent Face ID and Touch ID from being bypassed by anyone. Even though the bug has been verified, WhatsApp has not confirmed its existence. Unless the Facebook-owned messaging app does not find a way to fix this problem, the method that we have just jotted down is the only way to tackle this bug.
We have no clue as to when WhatsApp will fix this bug, but we hope that it acknowledges it as soon as possible. It won’t be long enough before users start detesting the Face ID and Touch ID unless the Facebook-owned messaging app does something immediately about it.

Yesterday, South Korean technology giant Samsung finally took wraps off its much-talked-about foldable smartphone – Galaxy Fold. Other technology companies like Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo and Lenovo are all working on their own foldable phones. Huawei, in fact, is all set to unveil it foldable 5G smartphone at the upcoming MWC 2019.
However, if there is one technology giant which hasn’t as yet made an official announcement about its foldable phone, its Apple. However, that doesn’t mean that reports or rumours have not circulated online about the upcoming foldable iPhone.
And last week, a new patent from Apple was published in the USPTO which showed an iPhone with a flexible display. Unlike devices from Samsung and Huawei, the device in the patent wasn’t shown to be a tablet that can be folded into a smartphone.
Instead, the patent showed a clamshell smartphone design, like the 2019 Moto Razr. For those unaware, some renders of the upcoming Moto Razr’s design showed a normal sized smartphone that can be folded into a clamshell phone.
Now, LetsGoDigital has published some renders of the upcoming foldable iPhone that are based on the patent filed by Apple. And just like the patent suggested, the foldable iPhone cannot be seen tablet sized-device that can be folded into a smartphone. Instead, in the renders, it can be seen that it is a normal sized smartphone can be folded in the middle. So, the foldable iPhone will become small enough to fit in the user’s palm once folded.

An interesting aspect of the device that has been highlighted is that the foldable iPhone would we able to bend inwards as well as outwards. So, you can fold it inwards when you are not using it, and outwards in a tent mode when you want to show some content to a friend. This is actually what sets Apple’s foldable iPhone apart from other foldable devices that have got a glimpse of via photos or renders so far.

We should mention, however, that Apple does not intend to launch its foldable iPhone this year. Previous reports have suggested that the foldable phone by Apple would only get unveiled in 2020.

The update has now made it easier for the users to search for a place, be it a shopping mall, a bakery or a restaurant. Once the place is searched for on the map, the users can tap the ‘Follow’ button. The ‘Follow’ feature of Google Maps works just like Twitter’s. When they click on Follow, they will start receiving news about upcoming events and updates from the places the user has decided to follow.
The people, places and business would also be able to see their followers in the Google ‘My Business’ app. They can even post information regarding the business they want their followers to know.

You’ll then be able to see important updates from these places in your ‘For You’ tab so you can quickly learn about upcoming events, offers and more.”
“And now, places and businesses all over the world can see their followers in the Google ‘My Business’ app, and actively post helpful information for their followers to see. The ‘Follow’ button starts rolling out on iOS today,” Cooper added.
For the android devices the updated Google Maps with this feature was rolled out back in October of 2018.
“With more than 150 million places on Google Maps and millions of people looking for places to go, we made two updates so it’s even easier for you to keep up with the places you care about and find out about places coming soon,” Google had said back in October.

Under the hype of Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Fold the older phones from the Galaxy series have not been left behind. Galaxy S8 and its bigger variant Galaxy S8+, which were the flagship smartphones of Samsung in 2017 are getting updated. Like most of the other top-end smartphones of the company, Samsung is rolling out stable Android 9.0 Pie update for Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.
The new android update is currently live only in few countries namely – Germany, Netherlands and Belgium, but it is expected to reach soon to other countries as well. Last week the company had rolled out the latest Android Pie update for their Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 9 for few countries.
The new update brings February security patch along with Samsung’s One UI to the smartphones. According to reddit users reports, the update is live over-the-air (OTA) for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The update size of Galaxy S8 is 1,610MB but the update size of Galaxy S8+ is currently unknown. When the new Android Pie update begins rolling out to all the other countries the users will receive a notification of the update. They can click on the notification to download the package and update their smartphones to the latest software.
However, the users can also manually update their devices. For that the users need to go to Settings, then Software update, then Download updates manually. Once clicked, the update will start downloading if it is available for the users’ country, if not, they need to wait for it.
After the update the software built number changes to G950FXXU4DSBA in Samsung Galaxy S8 and G955FXXU4DSBA in Galaxy S8+. Some other changes the new update brings are, improved Bixby, changes in Phone, Contacts, Gallery, Camera, My Files and Samsung Health Apps along with revamped Settings. It also brings One UI to the devices along with improvements to notifications and an updated keyboard. The Always-On Display of the devices has been tweaked too.
S8 & S8+
Launched in March 2017, the phones cost above Rs 50,000 but now their prices have dropped down to Rs 34,900 for Samsung Galaxy S8 and Rs 41,789 for Galaxy S8+. When launched they came with Android 7.0 Nougat, but received regular updates and currently run on Android 8.0 Oreo.
Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus has announced that its upcoming 5G smartphone, that is all set to make an appearance at the MWC 2019, will go on sale in Finland in the beginning of the second quarter of 2019. The company will be partnering will Elisa, which is Finland’s top mobile service provider to launch its 5G smartphone.
OnePlus has also said that Elisa will be one among the first mobile operators in the world to launch a commercial 5G network. Furthermore, the press statement also highlighted that OnePlus and Elisa have worked together for years and the latter is actually the first network operator that the Chinese smartphone brand has partnered with.
It has also been said that smartphones by OnePlus have been Elisa’s best-selling devices for the last 26 months.
We should mention that OnePlus first revealed that it will be launching a 5G device at MWC Shanghai in June 2018 and following this, it spoke about its strategy at Qualcomm 4G/5G summit that was held in October last year. Back then, the company only said that it will be launching its 5G smartphone in the first half of 2019.
After that at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Tech Summit, that was held in Hawaii in December last year, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau announced that the company will be using the American chipmaker’s latest Snapdragon 855 processor in its 5G smartphone. In the months that followed, it was also revealed that OnePlus 5G smartphone will not be a part of the company’s regular flagship range.
This is because the cost of the 5G smartphone by the company will be $200-300 higher than the price of regular OnePlus devices and the company wants to stick to its strategy of offering premium ‘flagship’ features at an affordable price. So OnePlus decided to launch the devices in a separate range altogether.
The most recent announcement by the company has been that its 5G smartphone will be showcased at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2019, that is scheduled to begin on February 25 and will go on till February 28. We should also mention that Qualcomm will also be showcasing its 5G modems and cellular equipment at the MWC 2019.
South Korean technology giant Samsung launched its latest flagship lineup comprising of Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10E smartphones and unveiled its Galaxy Fold device. The company also launched its new smartwatches and a pair of truly wireless earbuds. However, one much-awaited gadget was missing from the event.
We are talking about Samsung’s rival to Apple’s HomePod – Galaxy Home smart speaker. To recall, the device was launched in August along with Samsung Galaxy Note 9 smartphone and although it didn’t make an appearance at the Unpacked event, the company did reveal its availability details.
Samsung‘s head of mobile business, DJ Koh told technology website CNET that the company will be launching the much-anticipated Galaxy Home speaker in April this year.
Samsung Galaxy Home also made an appearance at the company’s developer conference in November last year. However, the technology giant refused to comment on the launch timeline or availability of the device back then.
With its Galaxy Home speaker, Samsung eyes to take on Apple HomePod and claims that it will provide a better sound quality. The South Korean technology company has worked with its subsidiary Harman in order to create speakers that offer an enhanced sound quality.
It is worth noticing that Samsung Galaxy Home speaker is powered by the company’s virtual assistant Bixby so this will enable users to control the speaker via voice commands. However, at Samsung Galaxy Note 9‘s launch event, the demo of Galaxy Home speaker was not exactly a success as the company’s executives faced issues when they tried to get Bixby to work. Samsung has said that its Galaxy Home speaker would act as a hub for its SmartThings platform.
The speaker comes with eight microphones that enable it to listen to the user regardless of where they are speaking. The company has also claimed that its Galaxy Home speaker can ‘steer’ the sound in the direction from where the user spoke.
We should point out that last year, there were speculations about Samsung working on a smaller variant of the Galaxy Home speaker. We aren’t ruling out that possibility yet as the company may launch two variants of the speaker instead of one in April.
Currently, the smart speaker segment is dominated by Amazon and Google, at least as far as shipments are considered. A new variant of Apple HomePod speaker is also expected to be unveiled this year.
