Nothing Phone 1 - Nothing OS BEST LOOK

 By Vaibhav Jain on May 02, 2022       

Nothing is all set to launch the Nothing Phone 1 and the highlight of that device is it's Nothing OS which is coming with some Exciting features and changes. The Nothing OS will be based on Google's Android 12 and Nothing plans to use it's own Retro Dot-Matrix Design language, this along with using most Google apps with Material You Finish.

The launch event gave us some hints what to Expect from Nothing OS, So we made a Concept accordingly. The Most Exciting Part of Nothing OS is of-course the Quick Settings, coz it is way different than basic Pixyish or OnePlus, Samsung’s Interface. Yeah you guys can see on top we’ll have two circular elements containing the information about your data pack, or balance, and connected devices with the battery level. In this Image, you guys can see the swipe-able interface, Tesla and Nothing ear 1 are connected devices and when you tap on that, you’ll see this pop-up menu with tons of options, so I guess one can control the connected devices easily from there. Nothing Says Non-Nothing devices will also connect with NOTHING os, that is gonna be awesome.

Watch - Nothing OS First Look

Nothing Official Launcher is live on Play Store, this is a basic launcher with basic icons, but we do have sone Dot-Matrix widget, like this cool weather widget, Digital and Analog clock. You guys can select a transparent or solid style of Digital Clock. Fun part is you can enlarge an icon which you use most, like I use twitter a lot, so it is gonna be easy for me to find and click on that app.

Nothing is also working on their icons, which I guess may look like this, icons made from dots, and I hope they give us an option to turn off and turn on the Dot theme. Nothing says this OS will be bloatware free, so no third part apps I guess, and Nothing of course is working with Google for this OS, they’re using almost all Gapps, so I think will surely see Material You design interface in there. Yes Google has done so many nice changes, like all Nothing has to do is, use them, So yeah again I think Pixel style Interface all over with Material You finish, some Nothing Exclusive Addons like Widget, Voice Recorder, Music Player and of course the awesome Quick Settings interface which I hope can connect to and control all smart devices with an ease.

Samsung Smartphones getting OneUI 4.1 (Android 12) Official Update

 By Vaibhav Jain on March 23, 2022       

Samsung has started rolling out Official Android 12 OneUI 4.1 Update for Galaxy Smartphones. OneUI 4.1 first came with the Galaxy S22 Series with some new features.

Samsung OneUI 4.1 (Android 12) will be soon available for Galaxy S21 Series (Samsung Galaxy S21 FE), Latest Galaxy A Series and Tab S7 FE. Samsung plans to extend it to even more devices - S20 Series, Z Fold, Z Flip, Note Series, S10 Series, Galaxy A and Tab S Series in the coming months.

Some Exciting OneUI 4.1 Features includes iOS Style Smart Widget which won’t need much space and can swipe between different widgets allowing users to keep a single widget on screen, saving space, and at same time you guys can use all widgets like clock, Samsung notes, date and time. There are new Quick Settings as well, Samsung have done small changes in the Text, it is now Medium than Bold in OneUI 4. Now I’m gonna show you guys the Animation and System Apps Interface, but there are small changes, but you won’t notice much.

 

In the Camera application Pro mode, you can now switch to Main, Ultra Wide, Telephoto 3x and Telephoto 10X, in ONEUI 4 it just Wide and Main. There are some new features in the Settings, like the Storage Section has an Option RAM Plus, which is like a visual RAM, by default it was 4 Gigs in OneUI 4, and now in 4.1, you can choose 2 Gigs to Max out 8 Gigs. 

Finally the Lockscreen Wallpaper service has a new option Samsung Global Goals, you can get daily messages about the figures, on how much change Samsung have done in the society, so a nice initiative. The OneUI 4.1 is not only about the Features, but the animation is now faster than ever and I really like this change. This is Samsung OneUI 4.1 vs Pixel OS, and honestly speaking, I like the Color Pallet Picker of OneUI.

Snapdragon 898 Clocked at 3.09GHz.!!

 By Yash Rathore on July 29, 2021       

Qualcomm is all set to launch its new flagship processor the Snapdragon 898 and according to the rumors the new SoC 898 will be a major improvement over the Snapdragon 888. The Snapdragon 898 will give a much better performance than any of its previous processors.

The biggest highlight of the Snapdragon 898 will be its core that will be clocked at 3.09GHz, which can create a huge difference in the performance of a phone the only major problem that can be faced by this new processor is some unnecessary heating issues just like the Snapdragon 888. Because of the heating issue with the Snapdragon 888, there were a lot of criticisms that Qualcomm had to go through.

Now, talking more about the cores of the Snapdragon 898. The Snapdragon 898 will have four efficiency cores, then three performance cores, and one ARM X2 core that will be clocked at 3.09GHz. The Geekbench score for the Snapdragon 898 was 1250 for single-core and 4000 for multi-core.

The Snapdragon 898 will be a major improvement and considering the known specs it will definitely stand on top regardless of its competitor. The released date of the Snapdragon 898 is still not revealed yet but we can aspect it to be launched soon in the near future.

Mediatek new 4nm chipset. Better than Snapdragon 898?

 By Yash Rathore on July 29, 2021       

Mediatek has finally made a new announcement about its brand new upcoming flagship processor, the name of the processor is not out yet but the officials have declared that they will be launching a new 4nm 5G Soc by the end of this year.

The current Mediatek flagship processor is the Dimesity 1200 which is built on a 6nm chip and the other flagship processor which is built on a 5nm chip is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. Mediatek can become the first to launch a 4nm chip in the smartphone market.

So, now the main question is whether the new Mediatek 4nm chip can beat the upcoming Snapdragon 898 SoC or not? Considering the performance of their previous flagship processor the Dimensity 1200 and the Snapdragon 888, the snapdragon was a clear winner in every aspect but the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 was not far behind, and now with a 4nm chipset, MediaTek has promised a much better performance compared to any other chipset.

So, when will we be able to see the new Mediatek chipset running on a phone, according to the announcement we can see new phones coming with this 4nm chip in early 2022 until then we have to wait for any official benchmark score.

Sorry, Android. Google Widget on iPhone is Cool

 By Vaibhav Jain on September 19, 2020       

So Google just made this Cool new Widget Available for iPhones running iOS 14. Apple iOS 14 finally comes with an Option where you can place Widgets inbetween your Applications and that's Something Android has been doing for years, but you know, when Apple do it, it's Cool.

This new Search Widget looks really nice and is available in different sizes for iOS 14. It Got a Search Bar, Lens, Voice Search and Incognito Option right there. Sadly it's not available for Google's own Android, Google likely want it to be iOS Exclusive.

This is not the first time we're seeing something like that from Google's side, Google got a sweet spot for iOS. Motion Stills, Photovine and there are many Cool Google Applications first came to iOS and then made their way to Android.

As an Android user, this makes me feel like Google loves iOS more than Android. Not Cool Google.
