Posted: 06 Mar 2020 09:25 PM PST

Recently spotted by Android Police, a new setting for the Google Pixel 4's face unlock has appeared in the settings, but you can only see it by searching for it. The setting is called "Require eyes to be open" and would only authorize face unlock with the user's eyes open, y'know - as intended.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 gets global stable Android 10 update

Posted: 06 Mar 2020 06:29 PM PST

Today Xiaomi has started rolling out the update to Android 10, with MIUI 11 on top, for the Mi Mix 3 from 2018. We're talking about a global stable version, no "beta stable" shenanigans here, and no Chinese-only stuff. The update is currently out for "other global regions", that is, ones that are not India, Indonesia, Russia, or the EU - as these have their own firmware codes. Still, it's a start, and hopefully we'll see the update make it to all "global" regions (in Xiaomi parlance) soon. If you're lucky enough to have the "other global" ROM on your Mix 3, then expect to see a...

The company has traditionally been among the slowest to deliver these, and the situation is no different with Android 10. vivo unveiled Funtouch OS 10, the latest iteration of its skin that is based on Android 10, back in December, months after Google initially released the finalized version of the OS.

Huawei's AppGallery will pay developers up to 100% of revenue for the first two years

Posted: 06 Mar 2020 01:01 PM PST

As Huawei is cut off from the Google Play Store for the foreseeable future, the company is heavily dependent on its Huawei AppGallery (this applies to new Honor phones too).

This is described in the Preferential Policy of the AppGallery Service Agreement. The policy applies for the first 24 months and developers need to join no later than June of this year if they want to participate. The policy is split into two periods....

Posted: 06 Mar 2020 08:17 AM PST

DxoMark has just finished its evaluation of the newly-announced Oppo Find X2 Pro and loved it so much, it gave it joint-first place with the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. In its testing DxOMark found the Find X2 Pro to have exemplary autofocus, accurate and yet nicely-saturated colors, well-controlled noise levels and good detail. As cons DxOMark notes that HDR isn't always effective in portrait mode shots and a drop off in edge detail in 5x zoom shots. The Oppo Find X2 Pro covers the perfect flagship camera setup nicely with a 48MP f/1.7 main camera with a huge 1/1.4-inch sensor, a 48MP...
