OnePlus 5 leaked in live image, yet again

It's not that we haven't seen real-life images of the upcoming OnePlus 5, but a new leak has surfaced that probably gives you the another view of the flagship's rear.

We previously covered a leak by AndroidAuthority where the dual camera setup and antenna lines was clearly shown however this new leak has a very different story to tell. The below image shows that there are no antenna lines and the flash is now located between the dual camera lens. 
OnePlus 5 Again Leaked in Live Image
Recently, we got an official news from OnePlus about its upcoming flagship phone, 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.

There has been a lot of confusion about the camera setup on OnePlus 5. The confusion was all about the camera design of the phone, but not the implementation. OnePlus 5 may get two camera sensors at the back, which may be the same setup as the iPhone 7 Plus. One sensor will capture standard shots, while the other sensor will capture zoomed shots.

Nokia 9 is Real and Here's the First Wrapped Up Images of the Phone!

Yesterday, we reported that three new Nokia smartphones with codename Heart were spotted on Geekbench and one of them with the Snapdragon 835 was the Nokia 9. Today, a website claims that they have used the prototype unit of the Nokia 9. However, the phone was wrapped with a protective case to protect the design from not being leaked. 

But other details about the phone are leaked by the website. The Nokia 9 will have a dual camera at the back, but it is claimed that the camera quality is modest at its best. The phone will feature all the essentials such as the 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, and all the major sensors. 
Specs wise, the Nokia 9 will have a 5.27-inch QHD display with a resolution of 1440x 2560 pixels and will be powered by the Snapdragon 835 SoC along with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. And the model number is also the same 'Heart.' 
The report also says that the phone was running Android 7.1.1 Nougat with near stock interface on board along with a fingerprint scanner embedded into the home button same as the current Nokia devices. The home button is not a clickable one. 

The report also says that the unknown Nokia device leaked in a video earlier this week is none other than the Nokia 9. That said, the Nokia 9 would be announced in coming weeks or by the end of June.

Rooted Android Device? Google Play Might Stop You From Downloading Certain Apps

Rooted Android Device? Google Play Might Stop You From Downloading Certain Apps
Recently, a few rooted Android users discovered that they can’t download Netflix from Google Play. In fact, Netflix is no longer allowing the rooted users to access the streaming service.

As per the new changes spotted on the Google Play developer console, the app developers are essentially now able to choose whether their apps are available to rooted users in the Play Store.

There's a new "device catalog" section on the Google Play developer console which includes an option called "SafetyNet exclusion" which can limit “devices that fail integrity tests or those that are uncertified by Google,” from installing a particular app.

Netflix is probably the first application to implement this feature, we won't be surprised if any other app take advantage of it. However, this won’t stop users from downloading the app from sources other than Play Store.

Android O Will Bring Redesigned Emojis- Say Goodbye to the Blobs!


With every major Android upgrade, Google brings new emojis, and with Android O, it's not changing as well. Google added new emojis with the Developer Preview of Android O, and they look a lot better than the blob styled ones seen on the Android N. 

Finally, Google is ditching the blob emojis, which was hated by many out there and replacing them with much-rounded emojis and they look decent. That said, the new emojis is available only for the Android O users right now. 


However, folks at xdadevelopers managed to port the emojis to other Android OS versions as well. Do make a note that your Android device should run on Android 5.0 Lollipop and above for the emojis to support. 

Head over to this XDA thread to download and install the Android O emojis on your Android smartphone right away.
