OnePlus, OPPO and Vivo are smartphone brands that belongs to a Chinese firm called BBK Electronics. Recent reports have revealed that smartphones like OPPO F7, OPPO R15, R15 Dream Mirror Edition, Vivo V9 and Vivo X21 will be all sporting notched display like the iPhone X. Hence, it is speculated that the OnePlus 6 will also arrive with a similar design. Leaked images of the OnePlus 6 that had surfaced in the previous month had shown that it houses a notch enabled display. Earlier this week, OnePlus had released its first build of Android 8.1 Oreo for OnePlus 5T through OxygenOS Open Beta 4 update. By scouring through the firmware, XDA Developers was able to find some evidences that revealed that OnePlus 6 will indeed arrive with a notched display. The OxygenOS firmware has revealed that the upcoming OnePlus 6 could be codenamed as Enchilada. This could be confirmed after the references of it was found alongside other codenames like dumpling and cheeseburger that respectively belong to OnePlus 5T and OnePlus 5. The following image that is named as “screendecor_up_image_enchilada_1” was also found inside the firmware. The publication claims OnePlus engineers could have used it as an overlay for testing apps on a prototype of OP6. It also stated that a similar image was also found in the firmware files of Huawei P20 which revealed that it would be coming with a notched display. It goes without saying that the OnePlus 6 will be powered by Snapdragon 845. The AnTuTu listing of the phone had revealed that it had scored an extraordinary score of 276,510. Like the predecessor model, the OP6 is also rumored to arrive in variants like 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. As far as the launch date of the OnePlus 6 is concerned, OnePlus CEO had confirmed at the beginning of this year that the OP6 will be announced in late Q2. Hence, it is speculated to get official in June.
(source) OnePlus has just posted the full changelog of its newest versions of Oxygen OS’ Open Beta builds. The OnePlus 3 is on version 32 while the OnePlus 3T finds itself on version 23. Both of these builds are identical and bring the same features. Sadly, the update doesn’t bring Oreo 8.1 like the OnePlus 5/5T’s latest Open Beta, so the 3 and 3T are still on Oreo 8.0. Let’s get into the changes. Starting with the Phone app, the update brings an automatic answering gesture. When the phone rings, you can raise the handset towards your ear and the call will connect. Meanwhile, the Gallery App sees the most changes: There’s a new design under the Collections tab with a new function to reorder the view of images and there’s a new “recently deleted Collection” so you can more easily keep track of unintentionally deleted memories. OnePlus’ migration app called OnePlus Switch is also getting an update. It will now transfer app data from an old device. This makes the switch far more seamless since you won’t need to set up apps from scratch. Still, we’d imagine that not 100% of apps’ data can be moved this easily.
Finally, the update also brings the phone up to date with Android’s February security patch, along with “General bug fixes and improvements”. Again, these updates apply to the latest Open Beta build and not the latest public release. Source If you are in the market for a hybrid watch, you should check those latest deals on the Nokia Steel and the Steel HR. The Steel is available for €99.95 (down from €129.95), the Steel HR can be yours for €151.96, compared to its usual price of €189.95.
Sony’s Mobile World Congress plans seem to have leaked out ahead of time: details for its new flagship Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact smartphones have hit the internet a few days early, according to Evan Blass at VentureBeat. According to Blass, Sony will be announcing the 5.7-inch XZ2 (a follow-up to last year’s XZ model) alongside a smaller 5.0-inch XZ2 Compact model (which had a prototype show up online earlier this week). Both phones are said to offer Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 845 processor and ship with Android Oreo. Sony will reportedly be offering the same 19-megapixel, ƒ/1.8 camera from the XZ Premium. (That might not be a good thing, given that my colleague Vlad Savov found it to be fairly unreliable in his tests last year.) Also included is a rear fingerprint sensor, as opposed to the button-based sensors Sony has used in the past. Hopefully the company will continue the trend from the Xperia XA2and offer fingerprint functionality in the US. THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE XZ2 AND XZ2 COMPACT There are a few differences between the larger XZ2 and smaller XZ2 Compact beyond size, though. The XZ2 will apparently offer glass on both sides of the phone and support wireless charging in addition to USB-C, while the XZ2 Compact will feature a polycarbonate case back instead and lack the wireless charging found on the larger model.
google's ARCore SDK Is out of preview, now many developer can publish AR to the play store25/2/2018 Following a long preview period which started last August when it was initially announced, Google's ARCore SDK has now finally reached version 1.0. It's thus out of preview and allows any developer to create AR-infused apps and publish them to the Play Store for Android. ARCore 1.0 has improved environmental understanding, letting users place virtual assets on textured surfaces like posters, furniture, toy boxes, books, cans, and many more - see an example in the image below. ARCore already works on 100 million smartphones running Google's OS, complete with advanced AR capabilities. 13 different models are supported right now: Google’s Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL; Samsung’s Galaxy S8, S8+, Note8, S7 and S7 edge; LG’s V30 and V30+; the Asus Zenfone AR; and the OnePlus 5. Expect many upcoming smartphones from the likes of Samsung, Huawei, LG, Motorola, ASUS, Xiaomi, Nokia, ZTE, Sony, and Vivo to have ARCore enabled this year. ARCore will even be supported in China, on devices from Huawei, Xiaomi and Samsung, which will distribute AR apps through their app stores for the country.
Source uTorrent Windows Apps Contain Security Flaws That Let Attackers Control Your Computer, Fixes Coming22/2/2018 HIGHLIGHTS
A Google Project Zero researcher has discovered critical bugs in two versions of the popular uTorrent app. With millions of daily users, uTorrent is considered one of the most widely used torrent clients. However, parent company BitTorrent was alerted to the serious security issue. Google researcher Tavis Ormandy has detailed several exploits in Windows versions of the software that lets attackers intrude into a user's computer. Because it is a DNS rebinding issue, hackers can potentially execute remote code, download malware to the computer's startup folder, launch malware on reboot, access downloaded files, as well as peep at the user's download history, Ormandy said. While the exploit affects all unpatched versions, it primarily affects uTorrent Web, the newer version of the popular BitTorrent client, as it has a serious remote code execution bug, as per the Google researcher. The examples of exploits, as mentioned by Ormandy, include one for uTorrent Web, and two for uTorrent desktop. Meanwhile, as per a TorrentFreak report, BitTorrent had rolled out a 'patch' in the latest Beta release and promises to fix the stable uTorrent client soon. Later, in an official statement, the company said, "Our fix is complete and is available in the most recent beta release (build 3.5.3.44352 released on 16 Feb 2018). This week, we will begin to deliver it to our installed base of users. All users will be updated with the fix automatically over the following days. The nature of the exploit is such that an attacker could craft a URL that would cause actions to trigger in the client without the user's consent (e.g. adding a torrent)." However, Ormandy had expressed his displeasure with BitTorrent's response. He said, BitTorrent just added a second token to uTorrent Web which does not solve the issue. Further, he wrote, "I just fixed the exploit and verified it still works. I would recommend asking BitTorrent to resolve this issue if you're affected, and it works in the default configuration so you probably are. Sigh." It is not clear if an attacker has made use of the exploits in the wild. However, it will only take one visit to a targeted website to trigger a hack. In order to stay safe, users can either disable uTorrent for now or upgrade to the latest Beta release. The uTorrent version 3.5.3.44352, is available for download and uTorrent Web users can update to the latest available build 0.12.0.502.

Samsung is all set to take the covers off the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ on Sunday, reveal its 2018 flagship Galaxy S-Series handsets. While the South Korean company readies itself for its Galaxy Unpacked event in Barcelona, ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, a teaser of the upcoming smartphone series has already been listed on Flipkart. The popular online retailer has posted images and a video that was already released by Samsung last week. As seen on the Flipkart page, a teaser showcases the number "9" alongside the words - "Camera. Reimagined" - echoing the teasers shared by Samsung. This essentially indicates that the company will bring some major upgrades to the camera features in the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The fact that cameras might be the biggest focus of this year's Samsung event, is further, elaborated by another video that has been posted on the page. The video teases various camera elements such as flash, iris, photo tagging, selfies, and other youth-oriented features. The Flipkart page also notifies that the smartphone is "coming on 25.02.2018" - the same date as the pre-MWC 2018 launch on Sunday, thus providing no hint as to when the new smartphone series will arrive in India. It is also not certain if the smartphone will be exclusive to the e-commerce site, as it may just be a case of one of Samsung's retail partners teasing the arrival of an upcoming flagship. The 27-second Samsung video was shared by Flipkart on its official YouTube channel as well. It reveals several expected features of the Galaxy S9's camera. This is the same video that was released previously by Samsung Malaysia. The video highlights upgrades on features like the front-facing iris scanner, flashes for low-light photography, and more. It also showcases social media-focused features such as photo tagging, selfies, and Snapchat-like emojis. Those following the Galaxy S9's leaky path to its launch, already know that the there are several rumours and speculations going around the Internet. When it comes to the camera specifications, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are expected to get major upgrades with features like variable f/1.5 aperture, Super Slow-Mo mode, better low light photography, and a 3D emoji feature. The front camera might be integrated with an iris scanner on the Galaxy S9. While we wait for the new smartphones to launch, it is worth noting that Samsung is leveraging augmented reality (AR) to host the event.
