Nokia 7.1 spotted running Android 9 Pie ahead of update's official release

The Nokia 7.1

Nokia is undeniably one of the most efficient and promising companies when it comes to Android updates. And because of this, it was a bit of a shock to see the Nokia 7.1 launch with Android 8.1 Oreo earlier this month. Fortunately, HMD Global did confirm an update to Pie by the end of October and, seemingly staying true to its promise, this version has already been spotted in testing.

Unsurprisingly, no performance improvements are noticeable when benchmarked. However, as some speed enhancements were introduced with the ...

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

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

-

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster. And because add-ons work the same across web and Android, you only need to install them once to access them on all of your devices. Click the settings wheel on the top right of your inbox and then "Get add-ons" to get started. We made Gmail Add-ons available in developer p

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

-
Image
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

OnePlus had introduced its new flagship, the OnePlus 6 , yesterday, and if you've wanted to get your hands on the wallpapers that get included on the phone, well, you're in luck. The OnePlus 6's official set of wallpapers popped up on Hampus Olsson's website, a person who designed them for OnePlus. If you check out the gallery down below, you will be able to see all of those wallpapers, though keep in mind that they are compressed, if you'd like to get them in their full size, click the download link / banner which is located below the article. That link will take you to Mr. Olsson's website, where all of these wallpapers are available in 2K, 4K, and Never Settle versions, same as last year. As you can see, these are abstract wallpapers that look well on AMOLED displays, such as the one included in the OnePlus 6. Mr. Olsson played around with quite a few colors in order to create these wallpapers, and if you're into such designs, well, there are five wall
