And for the most part, the cameras so far have lived up to the Realme tradition. We have been snapping pictures with them for a few days and the results have by and large been impressive. Mind you, we really think that one is better off taking pictures of places rather than people with them, as textures get captured beautifully. Human subjects, on the other hand, seem to suffer from a bit of smoothening, courtesy the software and AI, we suspect....

Samsung’s latest Note, the Galaxy Note 9, is all set to go on sale in most parts of the world from next week. While the Note 9 might seem an iterative upgrade over the Note 8 and shares the same internals as the Galaxy S9+, Samsung has made a few key improvements that make it an interesting device to own. Among other things, the Galaxy Note 9 comes with a massive 4,000mAh battery and a big, beautiful display that sets a new benchmark for smartphone displays....

Something’s got to give, of course, but the showstoppers aren’t that serious, don’t worry. The build and materials used are top notch – the aluminium surround is nicely ridged, presumably for grip – of which more in a moment, while the glass front and back curve gently towards each edge – it’s extremely classy. The corners are perfectly rounded and all the glass has an oleophobic coating – in fact, a seriously slippery surface, front and back....

Oppo is extremely popular in China because of its VOOC technology. The all new Super VOOC charging technology comes with new charging adapter and cable. It supports Micro USB as well as USB Type C ports. This new battery charging technology charges at 5 volts and instantly sends the power to the battery without converting voltage. In a forum post, Oppo said “Secondly, a VOOC-enabled phone maintains a lower temperature during charging than phones using high-voltage charging systems....

You see, while mmWave, a 5G spectrum band, offers a significantly faster bandwidth than what we have today, it also has a much shorter range and its connection can be easily blocked by minor obstacles such as walls or even your hand. Qualcomm thinks its new QTM052 mmWave antenna modules are the answer to that exact conundrum. The component is essentially a tiny antenna array of the size of a coin that features four antennas which can automatically point the device towards the closest 5G tower....

The first set of Snapdragon 855-powered Android devices are set to be unveiled next month. The Galaxy S10 is probably going to be the first followed by flagship devices from other OEMs at MWC 2019. Ahead of that though, the first set of Snapdragon 855 benchmarks have been released giving us a look at what to expect from flagship Android devices this year. Multiple publications got their hands on a Qualcomm Reference Design phone packing a Snapdragon 855 and put the chip through its paces....

Microsoft security teams are tracking more than 35 unique ransomware families and 250 threat actors across nation-state, ransomware and criminal activities. RaaS, it says, is a gig economy involving multiple actors around three key pillars. “In the same way our traditional economy has shifted toward gig workers for efficiency, criminals are learning that there’s less work and less risk involved by renting or selling their tools for a portion of the profits than performing the attacks themselves,” Microsoft Security says in a blogpost....

The latest comes from an Ars Technica report about a freeform window mode that could transform Android into a true desktop operating system. If you’ve ever spotted Remix OS, the concept is almost identical: Android apps work in resizable windows just like you would find on ndows or OS X. The story behind the story: Ever since it was rumored that Android Chrome OS would merge, there’s been speculation that Android would become ’s one operating system to rule them all....

The app lets you pause your task on one Samsung device pick it up on another, helping you get your work done with duplication of effort. You can grab the app from the ay Store, though it’s still in beta only works on a limited set of Samsung devices. Samsung Flow uses Android’s sharing menu to transfer an activity to another device. For example, if you’re looking at a Map on your phone but would rather get more detail on your tablet, you can use Flow to send the map over to it....

According to an article published on SamMobile in early April, Samsung is working on a third generation Galaxy Ace called the GT-S7272. The site said the device will have a 4 inch screen, dual core processor, and a 5 megapixel camera. About two weeks later, that very same model GS-S7272 model number showed up in the GLBenchmark. There we learned the processor would be clocked at 1 GHz and the screen would be capable of putting out 800 x 480 pixels....

There’s a new improvement rolling out with the app beta that may help alleviate this. en you launch Now on Tap (if you’re one of the lucky few, anyway) you’ll see some of the cards that you’d find in Now, such as weather or upcoming events. You’ll also see icons to set a reminder, create an event, set a timer, or other comms. It’s one of those staggered rollouts to the beta channel of the app, as I was able to launch these on a Galaxy S7 ge but not on a Nexus 5X....

Right on schedule, OnePlus has given onlookers the first glance at its prototype 5G smartphone at this year’s Mobile World Congress. OnePlus had a small demonstration of the device at the convention, keeping it secured on a display while individuals were able to play a streaming game on the device. Those in attendance were not able to actually touch the phone, or use the device’s touchscreen controls to play Ace Combat 7, but they were able to use a Bluetooth-connected Xbox controller to play the game....

Google last week started testing passkey support in Chrome and Android via the FIDO Alliance, the group behind passwordless sign-ins that use a smartphone’s sensors for biometric authentication. Apple in June announced passkey support for iOS and macOS using Face ID and Touch ID for logging into apps and websites. Passkeys are another step forwards. Google said passkeys are much safer than passwords since they can’t be reused and don’t leak in server breaches....

Researchers say most of these phishing emails and BEC attacks are asking the victim to make payments in cryptocurrency....

The Situation Today To be clear, electronic scams and threats have been with us about one second less than electronic communication and the Internet. We’ve all received those emails from Nigerian princes, or wealthy matrons in other countries, who seem to have a surplus of cash and are willing to give it to us in exchange for a little bit of help. Those are pretty obvious scams (but people still fall for them)....

It is not unusual for Google to restrict new features to the latest Pixel phone before making it available on older Pixels. They did the same with Google Lens and many other apps. One of the biggest highlights of the Pixel 4 was the audio recorder which not only recorded audio but also transcribed the same. Now Pixel 4’s audio recorded is available on older devices including Pixel 2 and 3....
