A Royal Navy warship has sailed close to islands claimed by Beijing in the South China Sea, a move denounced by China as a "provocation". In a sign of Britain increasingly flexing its military muscle in the region, HMS Albion last week passed by the Paracel Islands, where it was reportedly confronted by the Chinese military.  The Albion, a 22,000 ton amphibious warship carrying a contingent of Royal Marines, was on its way to Ho Chi Minh City, where it docked on Monday after a deployment in and around Japan. Beijing dispatched a frigate and two helicopters to challenge the British vessel, but both sides remained calm during the encounter, a source told Reuters. China said Britain was engaged in "provocation" and that it had lodged a strong complaint. In a statement to Reuters, the Foreign Ministry said the ship had entered Chinese territorial waters around the Paracel Islands on August 31 without permission, and the Chinese navy had warned them to leave.

Although Google has released Android 9 Pie for its Pixels last month, some smartphones are only now seeing updates to the previous version of the OS - Oreo. Case in point: Motorola's Moto G5 and G5 Plus. These devices launched last spring, with Android 7.0 Nougat on board, and now they're finally ready to jump to Oreo. There's a catch, however. Currently, the Oreo update's rollout for the Moto G5 is only happening in Mexico. The Moto G5 Plus is getting the new version in India and Brazil only.

Everyone knows that Apple's Face ID technology used in the iPhone X is one of the most secure solutions out there. It uses the so-called 3D Structured-Light technology, but only a few Android smartphones have that due to the cost of production.

The Chinese manufacturer just trademarked the Y10 moniker at EUIPO, paving the way to expand the Y portfolio.
