OxygenOS 5.1.8 for OnePlus 6 optimizes call quality

Image
Just a couple of days after dropping the OxygenOS 5.1.7 update, OnePlus has started rolling out another update to OnePlus 6 users. The new update arrives as OxygenOS 5.1.8, and brings along call quality optimizations, system stability fixes, and network stability improvements. On the face of it, the update may seem minor, but it's actually not. The company had to pull the 5.1.6 update due to issues faced by OnePlus 6 users, especially in India. As promised, this new, 5.1.8 update should contain fixes for those issues.

While we still don't know how the device actually looks like, a new leak has surfaced, claiming to show images of what Samsung's foldable smartphone might have been.

Week 24 in review: Bezelless vivo NEX duo is official, Oppo Find X leaks

Image
What was just a concept in the spring has come to life as an actual product in the summer - the vivo NEX is now official in two distinct flavors. The NEX S and NEX A were announced this week and we went hands-on with them. Schematics of two sizes of next-gen iPhones surfaced and it appears the future iPhone X Plus will be smaller than the 8 Plus we have now. And rumor has it, Apple may adopt USB-C for next year's iPhones, though we somehow can't see it replacing the Lightning connector at the phone end of the cable.

Weekly poll: vivo NEX phones, hot or not?

Image
Jaws dropped as vivo unveiled the APEX with its pop up camera and under display fingerprint sensor. It was just a prototype, but the company quickly followed up with actual devices - the NEX S and NEX A. And these aren't some halo phones like Huawei's Mate RS Porsche Design, these are proper mass market handsets - and they are even reasonably priced. The vivo NEX S is the flagship of the bunch with a price in China equivalent to $700/€600. Not bad for a Snapdragon 845 device. Perhaps vivo's experience with the X20 UD an X21 UD helped it keep costs down (most other companies don't have... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2yhZx6O via IFTTT

Eid truce between Afghan army and Taliban marred by deadly blast

A blast at a ceasefire meeting of Taliban fighters in the country's east has killed up to 20 even as the war-weary country celebrated an unprecedented holiday truce in the long-running conflict. The explosion hit a meeting in Nangarhar province as fighters met to mark the Taliban's three-day ceasefire to mark the religious festival of Eid al-Fitr.
