The OnePlus 5 is one of the most anticipated devices of 2017 and is expected to fill the success of OnePlus 3 and 3T. Expected to come with mouth watering specifications, the phone will give a tough competition to Samsung Galaxy S8 series and Xiaomi Mi 6. It's confusing and irritating. That's all we can say about the leaks about OnePlus 5. We have already seen multiple leaked images of the OnePlus 5 and all of them looks completely different from each other. However, it seems that OnePlus has officially confirmed the final leaked design of their upcoming flagship. In this facebook post (which was clearly not meant to have gone out yet), OnePlus Denmark officially shares the previously leaked OnePlus 5's prototype link.
What else can we glean from this OnePlus's social media rep's mistake? Well, as you can see in the image (leaked earlier by AndroidAuthority), the OnePlus 5 Prototype is having vertically placed dual camera setup and OnePlus branding on the back. Recently, we got an official news from OnePlus about the OnePlus 5. A staff member of OnePlus in OnePlus forums has said that the OnePlus 5's camera will be built in collaboration with the camera authority-DxO. OnePlus is all set to launch the device this summer. Thoughts?
A leaked product roadmap of Motorola some days ago revealed that Motorola is working on two relatively new smartphones- Moto G5s and Moto G5s Plus. At first, it seemed like a fake news because Motorola recently announced the Moto G5 and G5 Plus and why did it want to launch successors in such a short time. But this is Motorola under Lenovo, not Google. The first press renders of the Moto G5s are out, and the device looks similar to the original Moto G5 from the front. From the rear though, the device resembles the Motorola Moto M which was released last year. The Moto dimple is coming back and is placed below the rear camera module. The smartphone will be entirely made of metal, unlike the plastic edges are seen on the Moto G5. The Moto G5s will boast a 5.2-inch Full HD display, while the Moto G5s Plus will have a 5.5-inch display with dual cameras at the back. SOURCE
Currently, the talk of the town is the Finnish smartphone vendor, Nokia's upcoming phone, the Nokia . While the Smartphone got leaked few days ago in real life Images, it is now spotted on benchmarking site Geekbench. As you can see in the image below, it clearly states that the phone will bear a model number TA-1004, which was rumoured earlier as well. The device has a single core score of 2255, which is below the score of Apple iPhone 7 Plus but above the Samsung Galaxy S8+ and upcoming OnePlus 5. However, the phone achieved a multi-core score of 7770, higher than any other smartphone released till date. The device was running Android 7.1.1 Nougat while running the benchmark test. Until now, no phone has achieved the scores as the Nokia 9. In fact, the other Snapdragon 835 powered smartphones such as the Galaxy S8 duo, Xiaomi Mi 6, and Sony Xperia XZ Premium all have fewer benchmark scores.
Remember the Fuchsia OS, which we wrote two weeks ago? The ambiguous new mobile and tablet OS is said to replace Android when it becomes fully functional because it is built on Google's own kernel Magenta, rather than Linux.
Back in September 2016, Google was rumoured to be working on the Fuchsia OS, and two weeks ago, the OS was leaked online. Since then, there is a lot of buzz going on around the internet claiming that it will replace Android. However, that's not the case says Dave Burke, Google VP of Engineering Android. He contends that the project is still in its nascent stages and also stated that it will be independent of Andriod. Expect the OS to power some low-cost devices out there. Here is what Dave Burke has to say about the Fuchsia OS:
"How do you spell Fuchsia? Fuchsia is a[n] early stage experimental project. We, you know, we actually have lots of cool early projects at Google. I think what's interesting here is its open source, so people can see it and comment on it. Like lots of early stage projects it's gonna probably pivot and morph. There's some really smart people on it, people we've worked with who are great. and so [it's] kind of exciting to see what happens. But it's definitely a diff-- sort of independent project to android. and yeah, that's basically it."-Dave Burke,VP of engineering for Android, Google
So, it's now confirmed that Fuchsia OS is not a threat to Android, which would be a huge relief for many fanboys out there.
Every individual with an Android surely would have experienced this: When you're downloading an Android system update and the power goes off, or your internet connection goes off due to some unknown reason, or maybe you've to go out after starting downloading the update. For all these scenarios, the answer used to simple one- download the update from the start again. But that's gonna change with the Android O update as it adds a new 'Pause' feature to the OS allows users to pause a system update while downloading and resume it later.
This feature is already present in the latest Developer Preview 2 of Android O. That's a handy little feature to have around, and Google is bringing it with the Android O update. Also, Google revealed that the 'pause' feature comes with a Google Play Services update, but currently limited to the people under Developer Preview of Android O.
