News=Now Verizon's LG G5 is receiving the update to Android 7.0 Nougat

The update to Android 7.0 Nougat for the LG G5keeps on spreading, with every day that goes by. It's been launched in South Korea first, and recently we've seen it hitting G5 units sold by Sprint, T-Mobile, as well as US Cellular. And now it's finally time for this new software to make it to Verizon's LG G5.

The rollout has seemingly commenced today, according to multiple people who have received the update. It's a 1.6GB download, so make sure you get it via Wi-Fi. As you can see from the screenshot to the left, the mini changelog LG has outed for this build contains information about such features as new themes, a replacement of LG's Downloads app by Google's, and the newfound ability to restore deleted images from the Trash folder for seven days.

Of course these aren't all the new things you'll see once you update. The release also packs the features that Google built into Android 7.0 and which have survived LG's modifications intact. Hopefully at least the new notification design (complete with direct reply functionality) has been kept by the Korean company unaltered. As usual with such rollouts, it may take a few days before you get an update notification, so don't despair if you don't see it yet.

News=GoPro Hero55 Black and Hero5 Session is now available in India

Starting today, GoPro has announced that its Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session cameras are now available for purchase in India, along with Hero Session, via e-commerce website Flipkart as well as offline stores such as Reliance Digital. Creative Peripherals is distributing the units for Flipkart whereas Stereovision is distributing the units to offline stores.

The HERO5 Black is available for Rs 38,000 whereas the Hero5 Session is available for Rs 29,500.

Starting with the Hero5 Black, the waterproof (up to 33 ft) camera comes with 2-inch Touch Display and is also compatible with existing GoPro mounts. To dig in more, GoPro currently sells over 50 different mounts and accessories that allow users to wear or mount their GoPro camera nearly anywhere, enabling hands-free content capturing from creative, new perspectives. It can record up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second and can also click photos at 12 megapixels. Complementing this, the camera also features professional-grade electronic video stabilization.

News=First Nougat beta build is now available for the OnePlus 3

A few weeks ago, OnePlus promised that the first beta build of Android Nougat for the OnePlus 3 would be out by the end of this month. And today the Chinese company has made said build available, narrowly adhering to its self-imposed timeline.

Nougat comes to the OnePlus 3 in the form of OxygenOS Open Beta 8, which can be downloaded by going to the Source link below. Note that if you've been using previous beta builds for the OnePlus 3, you will not get an over-the-air update to this one. If you want to give it a go, you will need to manually install it.

Aside from the new things that have been packed by Google into Android 7.0, such as a new notifications and Settings menu design, multi-window view, direct replies from notifications, and built-in support for custom DPIs, OnePlus has also added some new features of its own. For example, you get some status bar icon options, quick launch for third party apps, and improved Shelf customization.

Since this is a beta, bugs are inevitable. Since this is the first beta of a new OS version, that's probably an understatement. OnePlus notes that Android Pay may not work correctly on this build, while stability and performance issues are to be expected. Before you take the plunge and install this release, know that you won't be able to go back to Marshmallow without having your phone reset. And if you do want to go back, you'll need to contact OnePlus support to receive a special build of Marshmallow that isn't otherwise available

.

So going this route is undoubtedly going to prove a hassle for many. The good news is that if you've waited this long for Nougat to hit the OnePlus 3, you can probably wait another month or so for the final, stable build, which was promised to come in December.

News=Meizu Pro 6 Plus and M3X unveiled: 12MP Sony camera, Flyme 6

Meizu unveiled both the Pro 6 Plus and the Meizu M3X - a flagship and an upscale mid-ranger, both running the new Flyme 6.0.

Meizu Pro 6 Plus

Bigger than both the Pro 6 and 6s, the Meizu Pro 6 Plus is like a Galaxy S7 "plus" that Samsung never gave us. Meizu crafted a metal body and filled it with 5.7 inches of flat Super AMOLED goodness - complete with QHD resolution (1,440 x 2,560px) and Always On functionality. It aims for 430nits of brightness and is pressure sensitive (Meizu calls it 3D Press) to boot!

All this requires plenty of power, so the phone uses the Exynos 8890 (same as S7 and S7 edge). There are two versions - 64GB and 128GB - which have different clockspeeds for the processor (2GHz and 2.3GHz respectively). Note that this is fast UFS 2.0 storage and in both cases you get 4GB of RAM.

The Meizu Pro 6 Plus packs a 12MP camera with a Sony IMX386 sensor (1/2.9” big, 1.25µm pixels). It’s optically stabilized and has an f/2.0 aperture - not the brightest, but Meizu put a 10-LED ring flash (yes, ten LEDs, dual-tone too). The ring flash surrounds the Laser autofocus, which works up to 2m/6.5ft (other implementations we’ve seen are typically limited to 1.5m/6ft). The selfie camera features a 5MP sensor and an f/2.0 lens.

Meizu actually one-ups Samsung with its new mTouch fingerprint reader - it triggers in a blink of an eye (0.15s) and has a built-in heart rate monitor too. The Pro 6 Plus has a dedicated audio chip by ESS (ES9018K2M), if the name sounds familiar, it’s because LG tapped the same company for the V20 audio (ES9218).

The phone measures 7.3mm thick and weighs 158g (pretty good for a 5.7-incher) and it houses a 3,400mAh battery. On the bottom of the phone is a USB Type-C port (v3.1 speed) with fast charging to the tune of 24W.

he Meizu Pro 6 Plus will be available in Champagne Gold, Deep Ash and Moonlight Silver. The 64GB version is priced CNY 3,000 while the 128GB one (remember it comes with higher clock speeds) is at CNY 3,300 (that’s ~$480/€450, not counting additional taxes and expenses).

Meizu M3X

The Meizu M3X is slightly smaller, but features the same Sony IMX386 sensor for its 12MP camera. It’s not that much smaller with a 5.5” 1080p screen, which is brighter to boot - 500nits (1,500:1 contrast ratio) and by official numbers covers 85% of the front.

The M3X (no “Note” in the name) is powered by a MediaTek Helio P20 chipset with 3GB or 4GB of RAM (with 32GB or 64GB of storage). The phone also runs Flyme 6.0 and has a 3,200mAh battery with fast mCharge (18W, matching Quick Charge 3.0). It also has a fingerprint reader (sans the heart rate sensor) and a USB Type-C port.

The Meizu M3X will be available in China in Phantom Blue, Streamer Gold, Pearl White and Obsidian Black. The 3GB/32GB model will cost CNY 1,700 and the 4GB/64GB one CNY 2,000 (~$290/€270, again not counting additional expenses). Note that in China, the phone is known as the Blue Charm X.

News= Chatting App Hike Messenger Now Supports Video Calling

The company said about these two new features, “Video calling on Hike is a simple and easy to use feature that works on a single tap that is integrated into chat threads with friends. The feature has been built for a reliance and high quality video experience that works even under challenging network conditions, including good quality 2G”.

Kavin Bharti Mittal, Founder and CEO, said “This was an obvious one and we’re excited to bring it to the market so quickly. We’ve been in beta for a few months and the results have been really positive. We’re now excited to roll this out across our entire user base. We see India as primarily a sight and sound market — and we believe video calling will have a large impact on how people communicate inside of Hike.”
