Halide gets updated with Rescue and improved raw support

Halide is arguably the best camera application on iOS and is now even better in its latest version 1.16 update. With this, the developers are improving the raw capture experience, memory management and also introducing something new called Rescue. Let's talk about Rescue first. Rescue is a data loss protection feature that prevents losing images in case something critical goes wrong while shooting. It could be something like the phone running out of battery, getting a call or just a bug in iOS or Halide that could cause the shot you've just taken to never be saved to the photo... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2ypAeQJ via

iPhone 9 could be made official on April 15, new rumor says

The upcoming Apple iPhone 9, the successor to the iPhone SE from 2016, has been rumored for a long time now, and it looks like we're finally getting very close to its official introduction. A few weeks ago a report talked about the phone being delayed indefinitely because of the COVID-19 outbreak, but apparently Apple may have had a change of heart. According to a new report, the company held an internal meeting to discuss how to proceed, and the conclusion of said meeting is that the iPhone 9 will get official on April 15. It will then become available on April 22. It's unclear if the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/340DIVl via

Samsung Galaxy S20 series is already receiving the April security update

Samsung has recently had an interesting track record regarding Android security updates, which have at times come out before Google had a chance to release them for its Pixels. The situation is the same this time around. The Galaxy S20 family is now receiving an update that includes the April 2020 security patch level. So far the rollout is happening in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with Korean units set to receive it very soon. Aside from the new security fixes, the new software also packs some general camera improvements.

Nokia 7.2 gets Android 10 update

Today HMD Global has announced the start of the rollout of the Android 10 update for the Nokia 7.2. This phone was released last September, running Android 9 Pie. Although it, like most other Nokias, is part of the Android One program, which in theory should ensure quick Android OS upgrades, obviously that's not working out as it should. Android 10 has already been out for more than six months at this point, and countless other handsets that aren't part of Android One have been updated to this version. Anyway, let's call it "better late than never". HMD's rollouts have apparently... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/340M2Ey via

UAE lifts ban on Google Hangouts Meet, Cisco Webex and other VoIP services

The global COVID-19 crisis has pretty much reverberated in every aspect of life around the world in one way or another. One thing most companies and governments have really started to re-evaluate and kick into full throttle is remote working. A new decision in the United Arab Emirates comes as a great example. Officials there have decided to lift bans on Google Hangouts Meet, Cisco Webex, Avaya Spaces, BlueJeans and Slack. All services previously officially unreachable from within the country.

Honor 30 and 30 Pro arriving on April 15

The Honor 30 flagship family will be officially introduced on April 15, the company revealed on Weibo. The phone's brand ambassador is the popular Chinese actor Li Xian, and for the promo poster he posed with the phone, hiding pretty much everything on the back, showcasing only the silver-purple-ish color. The Honor 30 family already has its first member - the Honor 30S was introduced yesterday with Kirin 820 5G chipset. It is the lowest standing member of the lineup and we expect at least two phones to join it - Honor 30 and Honor 30 Pro.

Google no longer sells the Pixel 3 or 3 XL

Google's online Store no longer carries the Google Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL. A Google spokesperson has confirmed to Android Police that Google has ceased sales of the third-generation Pixel smartphone. The Google Store still sells the Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, and Pixel 4 XL. Even if you managed to find the landing page for the Pixel 3, which isn't accessible from the Google Store navigator, all storage sizes and carrier configurations are out of stock. Last year, the Pixel 2 and 2 XL ran out of stock at the Google Store in early April, so the timing is about right. The Google... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2QY6q4e via

Astro Slide 5G Transformer smartphone comes with a slide QWERTY keyboard

In a world where smartphones become more and more universal in looks, a bunch of enthusiasts decided to try and shake up the market a bit with the Astro Slide 5G Transformer. This is a 5G handset that has a slide QWERTY keyboard, just like the beloved 10-year-old Nokia E7. The form factor is the most intriguing part here since specs-wise it is more of a midranger - the chipset is Mediatek Dimensity 1000 and for some reason, the inventors of this device call it "the fastest 5G device to be announced to date", even though there are currently phones with Snapdragon 865, Exynos 990 or... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3bBC6nK via

Google makes the Pixel 3a even cheaper in the UK until April 21

With the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps buying a new smartphone isn't very much on your mind these days. But then again, what if your current phone broke in some way? You might not want to splurge on the thousand-pound devices out there, so Google has a deal for you. Starting today and until April 21, the already decently priced Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are getting even cheaper. The smaller model can be yours for £299, while the XL version is now £369.

One UI 2.1 might not be headed to the Galaxy S9 and Note9 after all

Earlier this month we found out that Samsung was apparently readying the update to One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy S9, S9+, and Note9. The information came from a company representative posting on the company's official Korean forum. Now though, a different post on the same forum by another representative strongly implies that at the time Samsung has no plans to bring One UI to its flagship models from 2018. Of course such plans might change in the future, but given how the company only focuses on security updates after two years pass from a phone's initial release, we wouldn't hold our... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3dHrlCc via

Top 10 trending phones of week 13

We thought week 12 was eventful, but it has nothing on the past seven days, which brought by far the most dramatic change to our trending chart ever. Only three members of last weeks' top 10 make it to the new edition with the highest placed being fifth. Huawei is by far the biggest winner, its newly announced P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ taking the top two spots.

Week 13 in review: Huawei P40 lineup, Redmi K30 Pro duo are here

The final full week of March brought us a bunch of high-profile phone announcements and a number of high-profile leaks. Huawei unveiled The P40 Pro, the P40 Pro+ and the regular P40 and here's the quick rundown - all of them pack premium 50MP main cameras with the biggest smartphone sensor around, they use the 5G-ready Kirin 990 chipset and lack Google Services. The Huawei P40 Pro+ is a true pioneer with a 10x optical-zoom periscope camera, which delivers the longest optical zoom on a phone these days - 240mm.

The new devices of the week

The smartphone world had an eventful week, with plenty of new phone being introduced - the P40 flagship family is finally official, Redmi revealed some rebranded smartphones and Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 lineup outside China. The week began with the ZTE Axon 11 5G - although it is a follow-up of the flagship Axon 10 flagship family, this one actually runs on Snapdragon 765G, so it doesn't qualify for the overall top tier of smartphones. It still looks intriguing and is likely to appear elsewhere in the upcoming months, just like its predecessor did the same time 12 months ago. ... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2UMX4Jl via

Flashback: Huawei Ascend P6 showed promise, but had much to learn

Huawei was one of the first companies to adopt Android - the U8220 was unveiled just months after the T-Mobile G1.

Weekly poll: the Huawei P40 phones are so good, but can you love them with no GMS on board?

It's that time of the year again - Huawei is pushing mobile photography forward with the launch of its new Leica-equipped P40 family of phones.

Weekly poll results: the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is the clear favorite, Note 9 Pro is in its shadow

The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is the one to have, based on the results of last week's poll. The Max model proved significantly more popular than both its sibling and its predecessor. The most common reason to pick it over the Redmi Note 9 Pro seems to be the camera, though many appreciate the faster charging as well. The small price difference between the two models may have condemned the 9 Pro to be a distant second best to the 9 Pro Max. Just over a fifth of voters are not happy with either Redmi Note 9 Pro option, usually because there's no high refresh rate screen.

Realme 6i didn't get to participate in the launch eventof the Realme 6 and Realme 6 Pro, but that has more to do with strategy than with its shortcomings as a phone.

Google Duo ups group video calling limit to 12 participants

Google's Duo app is still alive, which is slightly surprising given the company's propensity to release messaging and social networking apps and then shut them down afterwards. Not only is it still alive, but it now allows you to have group video calls that have up to 12 participants. The previous limit was 8, so that's a nice 50% increase. Unsurprisingly, this is connected to the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc through the world right now.
