Samsung Galaxy On7 Prime launched in India for Rs. 12,990

-

It’s been known for some time that the Galaxy On7 Prime would be launching in India, with Amazon having spilled the beans on the device ahead of Samsung, and the device has now been made official in the country at an event in New Delhi. The On7 Prime is the latest in Samsung’s On series of online-only phones, and as reported earlier, it comes with the Samsung Mall app.

Samsung Galaxy On7 Prime launched in India

Samsung Mall is more or less a custom version of Bixby Vision, with a visual search feature that allows users to take a picture of something they’re interested in and buy related items from major online retailers, right from Samsung Mall. Some products can also be virtually demoed using the augmented reality feature, and we’re guessing this will be used for Samsung’s own products, such as its phones and TVs. Samsung Mall will not be exclusive to the On7 Prime and will be made available to more devices in the future.

As far as the specs are concerned, the On7 Prime is a budget affair, although the value-for-money quotient is higher than any previous Samsung phone in the series. The phone has a 5.5-inch Full HD display, 1.6GHz octa-core Exynos 7870 processor, 3GB/4GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB storage, a 13-megapixel rear-camera, a 13-megapixel front camera, dual SIM slots, 4G LTE connectivity, and a 3,300 mAh battery.

It runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat with the Samsung Experience 8.5 UX and comes preloaded with Samsung Pay Mini, a stripped down version of Samsung Pay that allows payments through e-wallets and India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) service. A traditional fingerprint sensor is on-board as well, integrated into the home button.

Pricing is set at Rs. 12,990 for the base model (3GB RAM, 32GB storage) and Rs. 14,990 for the variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The phone will be exclusively sold on Amazon and Samsung Shop starting January 20th, the same day the Galaxy A8+ is set to go on sale in the country. Amazon will have a few purchase offers available, including 10 percent cashback for HDFC credit card and debit card owners and 20 percent cashback for those who pay for the phone using their Amazon Pay balance.

Look for our full review and hands-on experience with the Galaxy On7 Prime in the coming days.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

Google’s December 2018 security patch includes much-needed RAM management fix

-

Every first Monday of the month, we're used to seeing Google launch security patches for its supported devices. This month is no different, as Google has released the December 2018 security patch. The patch not only fixes a bunch of security bugs, but also features the long awaited memory performance fixes. Android Pie has long been killing apps in the background (even if you were using them a second ago) and it's even affected devices other than Pixel /Nexus devices and we hope this fix will help. There are also some camera fixes for Pixel users included as well. Surprisingly, we're seeing the updates hit the Nexus 5X and 6P, both of which have reached their end of life. It's good to see Google support these old devices even when their three years are up and the company has no obligation to update them. December's software release is here. Check your Essential Phone for the update. pic.twitter.com/tTaeQZ0kzl — Essential (@essential) December 3, 2018
