Samsung Releases Video Showing Off Its New One UI Software You Can't Have Yet

-

Samsung, yesterday made the official video for its upcoming One UI available for everyone after revealing it during the last Samsung Developer Conference where the new user interface was introduced. The one-minute-long video quickly showcases some of the prominent changes and additions One UI was previously announced to be available with including several design changes. The software skin will feature an entirely redesigned set of app icons with rounded corners for the first-party apps with the typeface also getting a similar treatment. Minimalism and uniformity in design across the OS appear to be the essential strands for the all-new One UI and this promo video abundantly iterates the fact. With the ever-increasing aspect ratios of modern smartphone displays, interacting with the top half of the display almost always requires you to stretch out your other hand. The South Korean smartphone maker has tried addressing this nuisance by separating the viewing and interaction area with the latter being well within the thumb's reach. Samsung only recently switched to on-screen Android navigation keys with the introduction of its Infinity display and they too will be subjected to an aesthetic overhaul with the focus being once again on minimalism. The Quick Settings Menu will also see some changes by bringing its icons visually in line with that of stock Android while taking some design cues from Samsung's overall theme for One UI. In addition to these aesthetic alterations, the modern interface for Samsung phones will feature practical features including a built-in system-wide dark mode. During the recently concluded Samsung Developer Conference, the company announced One UI for its flagship range of smartphones. The interface is expected to arrive on the current line of Samsung flagships – Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, and Galaxy Note 9 – along with the awaited release of Android 9 Pie, while the older high-end models from last year will follow later on. Android Pie-based beta update with One UI has already been rolled out for the Galaxy S9 series in selected regions with more markets expected to be covered in the coming weeks. The upcoming Galaxy S10 series will also benefit from the new software enhancements mainly because the premium lineup is expected to get taller Infinity O displays as part of a major design overhaul to mark the series' tenth anniversary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3LVk0i6bY4

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

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
