Posted: 31 Oct 2020 08:30 AM PDT

One UI 3.0 builds are well into public beta at this point. Galaxy S20 family devices in both the US and Germany, signed-up for the program are already running test Android 11, One UI 3.0 ROMs and in a more-recent development, so are US Note20 units. A new page has now gone up on the company's official Malaysian website, highlighting some of the major new additions and changes in One UI 3.0. Probably the biggest news on there, however, is in the small print below the images, that promises a November launch for One UI 3.0. Samsung is yet to officially unveil a list of supported...

Micromax In 1A phone teased in video ahead of launch

Posted: 31 Oct 2020 06:30 AM PDT

Micromax is making a return to the India smartphone market, with a launch already set for November 3. We are still a bit short on hardware specifics and even the exact models of the upcoming In phones are not officially confirmed. However, most rumors seem to point at a pair of devices, allegedly called the Micromax In 1 and In 1A. One with a Mediatek Helio G35 chipset and the other with a G85 one. Beyond all of the official teasers, at least one of the new phones has now popped-up in the wild, in an first-look YouTube video, featuring Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma. Mr. Sharma...

Google Pixel 5 teardown video offers a bit more context for the screen gap issue

Posted: 31 Oct 2020 04:30 AM PDT

Google's latest and greatest Pixel 5 has started to slowly make its way onto the market, with first impressions and reviews from media and the community already revealing some issues with the device. Pixel-related hardware issues have pretty-much turned into an industry meme at this point, with basically every generation getting heat in one way or another. Call it a self-fulfilling prophecy if you want, but the Pixel 5 didn't manage to break the cycle. Reports of screen gap issues have started popping-up here and there. What better way to actually take a closer look at what is...

Apple iPhone 12 Pro in for review

Posted: 31 Oct 2020 01:49 AM PDT

Our review of the iPhone 12 is already up, but we've also been spending some quality time with the more premium iPhone 12 Pro. But while the review team is still doing its thing here go a few early thoughts. The iPhone 12 Pro certainly makes a better first impression than the iPhone 12. For starters the frame isn't aluminum but stainless steel. It feels better too and it's shinier. The rear glass is nicer to touch too, thanks to its matte finish (the regular 12 gets a shiny one). Finally the iPhone 12 Pro gains 25 grams on the regular 12, making it feel denser and more...

OnePlus 8T gets minor OxygenOS 11.0.2.3 update

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 11:09 PM PDT

The OnePlus 8T is getting its second software update since launch. The company is now rolling out OxygenOS 11.0.2.3 for all three regions (US, EU, and India). If you haven't received the update yet, it should be available in the next week or so. The 11.0.2.3 update is largely for fixing some of the issues reported in the previous version. It optimizes the system power consumption and reduces heat generation. There also seemed to have been an issue with icons not displaying correctly on the homescreen that have been fixed. There are also some fixes to Bluetooth and the Gallery app and...

T-Mobile announces LG Wing is coming to the carrier, launched BOGO deal

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 08:55 PM PDT

Today, T-Mobile is announcing the arrival of the LG Wing 5G directly from the carrier. The phone will be available in both Aurora Gray and Illusion Sky – the latter is not available from Verizon. The Wing 5G is coming with support for T-Mobile's low-band (600MHz) and mid-band (2.5GHz) 5G networks. To boost sales of the LG Wing, T-Mobile is offering a BOGO (buy one, get one free) promotion for anyone who purchases two LG Wing 5G smartphones from the carrier. Although promotions from US carriers usually require customers to add a line or trade in an eligible device, T-Mobile really...

iPhone 12 cameras can only be replaced by official Apple technicians, 12 Pro is unaffected

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 06:02 PM PDT

Back when Apple added a fingerprint reader to the iPhone 5s, it made it impossible to replace by anyone other than an authorized technician. That makes some sense – a bogus reader may circumvent security. But over the years more and more components have become difficult to replace. During its teardown and testing of the iPhone 12, iFixit found that taking the camera out and replacing it with an identical module from another phone causes issues. And not just the error report you get when you swap screens ("Unable to verify that this iPhone has a genuine Apple display"). No, this looks...

LG’s Q3 earnings report shows signs of recovery for mobile division

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 04:35 PM PDT

Earlier today, LG posted its earnings report for the July-September period and results from the mobile division are looking promising. Operating income from mobile was listed at KRW 1.52 trillion ($1.34 billion) - a 17% quarter on quarter increase in sales.

Latest OnePlus 8T promo video is shot on the phone itself

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 03:03 PM PDT

The tagline for the OnePlus 8T launch was "Ultra stops at nothing", now the company has tapped actor/writer Kalki Koechlin to expand on that message in a spoken word poetry format. The video below was written by Koechlin and shot on an 8T. You can also follow the Source link for how OnePlus is handling the eventful year that 2020 turned out to be and how it wants to help the community do the same. The recently launched Open Ears Forum in India asked the question "How do we use OnePlus devices and OxygenOS in a time like this to minimize distractions and maximize productivity?" The...

Snapdragon 875 could be 25% faster than its predecessor, leaked AnTuTu result shows

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 01:44 PM PDT

The Snapdragon 875 chipset is code-named "Lahaina" and it may be significantly faster than expected – an early benchmark shows a score of over 847,000 points in AnTuTu. This is much higher than its predecessor, which currently tops the charts with 663,000 points or so. That's a jump of over 25%, a huge leap for a yearly upgrade. Of course, these results will need to be corroborated before the Qualcomm team can pop the champagne. For comparison, the iPhone 12 scored 565,000. While the Kirin 9000 and Exynos 1080 posted scores of 696,000 and 693,000, respectively – enough to top...

Pixel 5 gets mediocre 120 points in DxOMark test

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 12:20 PM PDT

Google Pixel 5's main camera uses the Sony IMX363 – the same sensor that the Pixel 3 and 4 used. And it's lacking the Pixel Neural Core as apparently the Snapdragon 765G has enough processing power to handle the Google algorithms that are behind the success of the Pixel cameras. Still, there's only so much that can be done given the old hardware and lack of a third camera – there's no zoom camera this time (last year, it was the ultra wide cam that was MIA). DxOMark gave the phone an overall score of 120, an improvement over the previous generation but not enough to get it out of the...

Apple finally launched the iPhone 12 lineup and for the first time, there are four smartphones - mini, vanilla, Pro, and Pro Max.

It's over 10 minutes long, so take a comfortable seat and see what Will has to say about the Apple iPhone 12.

REM sleep is essential for a good night's rest, this update will improve the sleep analysis performed by the watch.
