Verizon Moto G4 Play gets new Software Update with June security patch
The Moto G4 Play has now started receiving a new software update with the latest June Security Patch, bug fixes and Stability improvement in the US on Verizon's network. The update arrives as software version MPIS24.241-2.35-1-17. Note that the device still runs on Android Marshmallow.

This update would have been more exciting if it had brought Android Nougat 7.0, which is already available for most of the Moto devices. However, Motorola has already started working on Android 7.1.1 Nougat update for the Moto G4 Play, and few Soak test users from Brazil are already testing the latest build.


If you haven't got the notification of this new software update yet, Just go to Software updates menu in Settings, and It will automatically start downloading the latest update. The update will take around 10-15 minutes to get Installed on your device.

Verizon instructions explain that for a successful installation, the battery in your phone should be sufficiently charged and your device should be connected to a Wi-Fi network or LTE.

Is the OnePlus 5 Waterproof?

Is the OnePlus 5 Waterproof?
Since the OnePlus 5 have been out for a few days, some users have begun to test the breaking point of the new device, especially in regards to the possibility of water resistance. A handful of YouTubers are doing 1 minute water test of the OnePlus 5 under a few inches of water, claiming that it's waterproof, but they don't know that the main problem occurs after few hours or few days!


And now, french media "frandroid" exclusively claims that OnePlus made the OnePlus 5 nearly waterproof and didn't tell anyone. The OnePlus 5 is actually IP67 if it passes the certification, claims the same media. IP67 rating means that it is fully protected from dust and can also withstand being submerged in 1m (about 3.3 feet) of static water for up to 30 mins.

It could be possible that OnePlus 5 sport a combination of new technology that makes it far more resistant to liquid damage than past OnePlus Smartphones, but that doesn't mean that it's waterproof. OnePlus has yet to comment publicly about this, we will let you know once the official statement is out!

With the OnePlus 5, you get a 5.5-inch 1080p Optic AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB/8GB RAM, 64GB/128 GB storage, 20+16 MP Dual Rear Camera with F/2.6 and F/1.7 aperture for the best low-light, zoom and anti-blur photos with enhanced image processing, 16MP front facing camera, 3300mAh battery with Dash Charge (58% battery in 30 minutes of charging), and Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
