 By Vaibhav Jain on October 07, 2017       

Just a little few days back, Google announced the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, both of the devices have unique design, best-in-class camera, and top-notch specs. They also don’t have headphone jacks.

In the Google support forum, Pixel/Nexus Community Manager Orrin Hancock explained that "The Pixel 2 still comes with a headphone jack but we have moved to USB-C, a standard that is becoming commonplace in the best phones and laptops of today. Moving to the USB-C audio port with Pixel 2 allows us to provide a better audio and digital experience, as we move towards a bezel-less future."

Hancock’s also listed the Made For Google headphones that have been verified to be compatible with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

Hancock also confirmed that the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will come with an adapter in the box which can be used with existing 3.5mm headphones.

At last he says that Other USB-C to 3.5mm adapters/splitters or USB-C headphones should work, but please be sure they are compatible with digital audio and support the proper audio standards. Thoughts?

Several Moto G5 Plus users facing WiFi Dropping Issue

 By Vaibhav Jain on October 06, 2017       

There's no fact denying that the Motorola Moto G5 Plus is the best budget smartphone under $300 price bracket. It has a great camera for the asking price, excellent build, powerful hardware, and stock Android, which loved by everyone.

However, several users of Moto G5 Plus are complaining a weird bug in the software from the beginning which is causing WiFi problems.

On Lenovo Forums, many users have complained about weak WiFi signal; some have complained about WiFi dropping frequently. Motorola is yet to respond them. Nevertheless, it's an irritating bug that needs to be addressed by the company at the earliest.

Additionally, the Moto G5 Plus being one of the latest Moto G Smartphone is stuck with Android 7.0 Nougat with March Android Security patch. That means, the device hasn't got a single Security Update since March 2017.

We hope the company identifies the issue that is causing this problem and issues a fix at the earliest.
