OnePlus 3 leaks confirms USB-C, leaves the back of the phone

Unknown 11:24 AM



What do we know about the OnePlus 3 so far? Well, it’s going to be here soon in one of many boxes. There’s some form of fast charging on the thing. And the rest is pretty much all TBD.
Cross USB Type-C off that determinations list, though. @the_malignant on Twitter, typically on the HTC side of the leaksphere, has what is ostensibly our first clear view of the front and bottom of the OnePlus 3.

Okay, the back may not be ready for showtime, but these two sides give enough away already. For one, we see a firm USB-C port down low. Second, we don’t see much iteration happening with the front panel design from the OnePlus X and OnePlus 2, save for that button that likely will be a fingerprint sensor.
We did wish that we saw some OnePlus One design verve, but we’re apparently past that now.

Androids crash way more often than iPhones, Galaxy S6 leads shame list

Unknown 11:21 AM , ,

Beyond matters of personal preference, like how an OS looks or subjective brand reliability, what tends to separate Android devices and iPhones in the eyes of many is security and software stability. Well, pricing too, but let’s leave that aside for a moment.
Unfortunately, there’s no fully dependable scientific method of finding out which platform is less vulnerable to glitches, and what phones have the highest failure rate. At least as far as the latter is concerned, though, “leading provider of mobile device diagnostics and secure data erasure solutions” Blancco aims to supply precious insight in quarterly reports.

Android failure rate Q1

The Q1 2016 numbers are now in, and unsurprisingly, Android retains the infamous title of most crash-prone mobile OS. The percentage of Google-powered phones that failed in Blancco’s tests (44 percent) is not only staggeringly high, but also close to double the competition’s 25 percent score.
Of the almost one in two Androids that floundered in the three months covered by this study, 7 percent were unreliable Samsung Galaxy S6 units, 6 percent were S5s, and another 6 Lenovo K3 Notes.
iOS failure rate Q1
Clearly, the S6 and S5 top the disgraceful ranks not because they’re unusually buggy, or not just due to that reason, being in high demand among smartphone users worldwide. That’s not exactly the case of the K3 Note, or the fourth-placed Moto G (3rd gen) for that matter, so it’s probably wise to stay away from those particular models.
In terms of specifically what tends to fail on both iOS and Android handhelds, you could be looking at camera trouble, which is the leading global crash cause, followed by touch issues, battery charging, microphone, and dual SIM instability.

Android N To Release In September This Year !!

Unknown 12:44 PM , ,

If reports are anything to go by, Android N will be released in September this year.
According to latest reports, Android N is still in the beta phase. In the last months, several users have been testing it in this form on different devices and they are extremely happy.

 A schedule for the beta preview as well as the final build launch has been published by the software giant Google.

1. Android N developer preview 3 (beta) is scheduled for May
2. Android N developer preview 4 (with SDK and APIs) is scheduled for June
3. Android N developer preview 5 (near-final build)  is scheduled for July
4. Final Android 7.0 AOSP build is scheduled for August or September

Reports suggest that the Nexus devices will be the first one to receive the Android N operating system.
Here is the Android N release news for HTC, LG, Huawei, BlackBerry and Samsung.
The HTC One M9 received the Android Marshmallow update in December 2015. Rumors are doing the rounds that the HTC 10 will receive Android N update in December this year.
The electronics company LG has been very quick when it comes to updates. According to reports, the company will roll out Android N on its devices during Christmas.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei made an update for Android M at one month after its release. According to reports, the Chinese company will update its Mate line in November this year. Reports also indicate that the Huawei Mate 8 and Huawei P9 will get the update during December.
BlackBerry was extremely slow with its Android M update. It is more focused on securing Google's platform and improving the complete experience of using the software on its present PRIV model. Reports suggest that the company may roll out Android N to itsBlackBerry phones in 2017.

Last year, the tech giant Samsung took 5 months to sort out its first Android M update. Android Marshmallow released in September and the company rolled out its first update to the Verizon's Galaxy Note 5 in March this year, SamMobile reported. It is expected that Samsung Galaxy S7 will get the Android N update in 2017.

OnePlus 3 with 4GB RAM expected to cost less than OnePlus 2 with 3 gigs

Unknown 2:15 PM ,


Part of the outstanding buzz surrounding OnePlus phones a while ago seems to have ironically fizzled out as marketing controversy died down and invite-based sales gradually transitioned towards normal, open practices.
The device manufacturer was probably not among the world’s top ten in shipment figures last year, as it no doubt hoped, and both domestically and internationally, brands like Huawei, OPPO, Vivo or Meizu appear to be growing at a much faster pace.
In response, OnePlus reportedly plans to do what it knows best in a few weeks, unveiling yet another ridiculously affordable “flagship killer.” Only this time, the quality – pricing ratio might well exceed your wildest dreams.
Rumor has it the OnePlus 3 will set you back the equivalent of $310 (2,000 Yuan) with 4GB RAM in tow, 32GB internal storage space, Snapdragon 820 processing power, a 5-inch Full HD display, 16MP dual-LED flash rear camera, 8MP selfie shooter, USB Type-C connectivity, fingerprint recognition, and even NFC support. Basically, everything but the kitchen sink for a fraction of Galaxy S7, LG G5 or HTC 10’s MSRPs.
Compared to the OnePlus 2, the OEM’s next big thing should thus be around 20 bucks cheaper with an extra gig of memory on deck, plus twice as much digital hoarding room, 3 extra megapixels for both main and secondary cams, and NFC-enabled at last.
If that doesn’t impress you much, perhaps hearing a top-of-the-line OnePlus 3 variant with 6GB RAM and a 64GB ROM is also in the pipeline will do the trick. Its price of course remains a mystery, but it can’t possibly go over the $450 mark. Even $400 is a viable guess… and the stuff the sweetest dreams of Android power users are made of.

There’s 20W fast charging on the OnePlus 3, but what’s it called?

Unknown 2:14 PM , , ,


The OnePlus 3 has received its China Compulsory Certificate and we’ve found out that it supports a 5V, 4A charging standard. It does come as an about face for OnePlus, a manufacturer that hasn’t embracedQualcomm’s Quick Charging standard in its phones. But be prepared to not be surprised once the dots get connected.
oneplus-3-fast-charging-ccc
While Quick Charge 3.0 does support up to 20W of power, there’s word of the standard being OPPO’s Super VOOC. Many associations have been drawn between OPPO and OnePlus with some speculators saying that OPPO owns, has ultimate control or some overbearing influence on OnePlus. We’ll have to see.
Perhaps all of this could explain the “Dash Charge” trademark OnePlus has filed for.

Report: India won't let Apple sell refurbished iPhones in the country

Unknown 1:58 PM ,

If Apple wants to prove Wall Street wrong, overturn tumbling profits, raise iPhone sales numbers again, and recover major lost investors, it definitely needs big wins in the world’s two largest handheld markets.
Especially in India, where the industry’s growth potential far exceeds that of saturated China and the US, with Android OEMs however the main beneficiaries of local mobile tech expansion, as the vast majority of consumers remain strapped for cash or simply unwilling to spend small fortunes on new iPhones.
There are of course ways to boost Apple’s brand recognition and box-office performance around those parts, including the recently authorized construction of official retail stores, and SE discounts unlikely to materialize for reasons we don’t get.
But the icing on the India-penetration cake were supposed to be refurbished iPhones, which the telecommunications ministry apparently thwarted following strong, vocal opposition from a coalition of iRivals, headlined by Micromax, Intex, Samsung and Karbonn.
Their number one complaint was that, across other industries, pre-owned foreign products are effectively banned by absurdly high taxes, and ditching or lowering the levies traditionally imposed on car manufacturers and so on would not only be unfair but essentially turn the “Make in India” program into “Dump in India.”
The arguments must have been compelling enough to deny the local smartphone market massive short-term growth for the long-term prospect of getting even more companies like Lenovo, Xiaomi, Huawei, OnePlus and Asus to invest large sums of money into India-based factories and R&D facilities.
Who knows, maybe Apple will follow suit someday if it truly wants to crack every single important tech-centric region.

Hacker collects 272m email addresses and passwords, some from Gmail

Unknown 1:25 PM
Email services including Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail have fallen victim to a hack, exposing usernames and passwords for millions of users. According to Reuters, a huge data breach consisting of some 273.3 million online accounts has been reported by security expert Alex Holden of Hold Security. All told, the data breach contains 57 million accounts for the Russian email provider Mail.ru, along with 40 million Yahoo Mail credentials, 33 million Hotmail accounts and 24 million Gmail accounts.
In addition, the breach reportedly contains hundreds of thousands of German and Chinese email addresses as well as thousands of username / password combos that appear to belong to employees from US banking, manufacturing and retail companies.
Hold Security apparently came upon this data directly from the hacker, who was selling the data set for the curiously low sum of less than $1. Holden instead told the hacker that he would post "favorable comments" about him in various hacker forums; that was enough to get the hacker to turn the data over. About ten days ago, Hold Security started informing the companies affected of the data breach; the company's policy is to return stolen data to the companies affected.
It's worth noting that while tens of millions of Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail accounts were affected, the total percentage of accounts compromised compared to the total in circulation is relatively small. Google recently announced that more than one billion people are using Gmail, for example. But given people's propensity to reuse passwords, this breach could have wider-reaching effects. Either way, better safe than sorry -- if you haven't changed your password recently, now is as good a time as any. Also, turn on two-factor authentication!
